Chapter 171: Park Ye-jin (Part I)
Starting with Mcountdown on April 23rd, Music Bank on April 24th, Music Center on April 25th, and popular songs on April 26th, one song after another stage made the long-awaited fans crazy for a long time. Many student parties finally have the opportunity to go to the TV station on the weekend, and some of them even watch them at the music center on Saturdays, and they can be seen in popular songs the next day.
After the intense trip, performances began in various parts of Asia. From China, to Japan, to Southeast Asia, and finally to Singapore. As long as it is the area with the largest coverage of the Korean Wave, JAJ can be seen in the tail end of April.
In many cities, the reinforced concrete soil did not erase the enthusiasm of the people, and the cold buildings were hung with fuchsia banners, and in the slightly cool nights, JAJ spent night after night with them.
In the last four days of April, the main focus was on China and Japan. The population gap between the two countries is completely different, so at this time, when China is propagandizing, it can get more support. However, in terms of the record industry, the reason why Japan is more developed is that piracy is too rampant in China. Even the three JAJs can't avoid the embarrassment of fans coming to them with pirated discs to ask for autographs.
The beginning of May is still accompanied by JAJ's fiery popularity. Although "Halloffame" has fallen from the top spot on the US Billboard Billboard list, it also holds a strong spot in the top five.
In Asia, with the momentum of JAJ. Like the ripples in the water, the influence expands little by little. Even if the results were set in the United States, far away, starting with South Korea. In Southeast Asia, all influential media have reported on JAJ's popularity, strength and achievements. Wherever JAJ arrives, there will inevitably be a large number of elves waving fuchsia balloons or glow sticks in their hands, forming a sea of fuchsia one after another!
After the promotion from one place was completed, it was transferred to another place without much stop, which was the last trip before the song "Halloffame" completely ended the promotion. At the end of March, the official English album "Breakdown" was released, and the sales volume has exceeded 6.5 million by May, and it is already a sure thing to break through 7 million by the end of May.
The first ten days of May. JAJ went on a small tour of various cities in Southeast Asia, and although the number of fans he mobilized was small, he also gained a lot of attention, and it was crazy everywhere he went!
JAJ really had some free time in May, and he didn't have much free time. The hype for "Breakdown" has come to an end, but in South Korea, JAJthesecondminialbum has officially begun production. Kang Eun-chan and Ahn Sung-min personally handled it, with Kim Sung-han helping, this mini-album mainly in hiphop style can be said to be for JAJ. It's still rare.
During this period, Kim Sung-han's new song "Genie", which was written by himself for Girls' Generation, that is, "Say Your Wish", was also finalized in May, under the urging of SM Company's multi-layered angles. And it was delivered to SM. About this song "Genie", it even alarmed Yu Yongjin, one of the pillar veterans of SM company, a musician who used to be a teacher of Kim Sung-han. handed over today's Jin Shenghan with one hand!
It can be said that 60% of Jin Shenghan's musical literacy today is because of Yu Yongzhen's teachings. Twenty percent of it comes from the music producer teacher of Ai Hui Company in Japan, who I haven't seen for a long time, and the remaining 20 percent is what I see and feel. There's still a little bit of fumbling.
Jin Shenghan's formation of today's music style is completely Yu Yongzhen's teaching for many days, and Yu Yongzhen has contributed a lot to shaping an artist like Jin Shenghan.
Therefore, after the song "gee" in Girls' Generation, he was eager to know what kind of height the disciples he had brought out had reached. A good musician is not only able to complete his own songs, or a category is considered excellent. Not all musicians are completely biased towards hip-hop music like Kwon Ji-ryong.
Most of them are involved in many fields of music, and it is rare to find someone as good as Kwon Ji-ryong in a single field. At least take Kim Sung-han as an example, hiphop can only be said to have a slight opinion, even if it is a lyrical song that has blown a few whirlwinds, Kim Sung-han will not be like Kwon Zhi-ryong's progress on hiphop.
Jin Shenghan's advantage is that he has achieved good results in many types of music.
Hiphop, not to mention the upcoming second mini album of JAJ is hiphop style, I once participated in the composition of Bigbang's "Last Greetings", and "pleasetellmewhy" sung by Miss &Mr. with Boa is a good quality hiphop song, which is not as good as "Lies" and "One Day at a Time" but it is also a classic.
Lyrical songs, "Death Can't Let You Go", "You're Like Me", "Standing Still", "Boys Over Flowers", OSt "Because I'm Too Stupid", etc., are all hit songs that were once particularly popular, and even have the momentum of music becoming a national song. Although he is not a top musician in this regard, there are very few musicians who are firmly able to beat Kim Sung-han in lyrical songs, and even if Kim Sung-han shouts, no one will dare to respond.
Dance music, with the songs "Sherlock" and "Beautiful Night", created a different genre of dance music, and the first music to appear mixed cut. And at that time, the trend of imitation was once triggered in dressing, and now walking on the road, most fashion-loving young people still prefer this kind of dress.
Rock and roll, the most representative is "Waytogo" from the album "Gee" of Girls' Generation. Although the excellence of "Gee" suppressed the song a lot, it was not a lot that this song received good reviews at all. And several songs in JAJ's new album "breakdown" have a style that blends into rock 'n' roll, so to speak. Kim Sung-han is doing a good job in this category.
To sum it up like this, Kim Sung-han's musical talent still does not need to be denied and doubted. As for this one, "Genie". It has a dreamy intro and a light chorus melody that complement each other.
"Youkai?" Kim Young-min, who got the song, was also puzzled by the English name of the song, while Yu Yongjin just smiled lightly. I immediately understood the meaning of the name: "Do you know the lamp god of Aladdin's magic lamp?" Wipe it three times and it will come out, the lamp god is also an elf, and the first thing he said was 'say what you want', look, isn't there a Korean name written here? ”
Jin Yingmin took the opportunity to look over, nodded his head a little understanding, shook his head with a chuckle, and then looked at Yu Yongzhen with some concern: "How is this song?" Can Girls' Generation be the title song for the next mini-album? ”
Yu Yongzhen took a cursory look at the composition and lyrics of the whole song, and read the tone of the whole song. You can hum two sentences easily. After a while, he finally smiled at Kim Yingmin with some interest: "The lyrics and music of this song are very well done. Shenghan's boy has mastered the style of Europe and the United States. However, he doesn't seem to abandon the original style, but instead blends it into it when composing, and all in all, it is a high-quality song, and it is fully worthy of the title song of the next Girls' Generation mini-album. ”
Kim Young-min breathed a sigh of relief, the collection of songs from the Girls' Generation mini-album came to an end, and there were almost no songs that Yu Yongzhen could refer to as the title songs, and the two songs that finally came out were also evaluated by Yu Yongzhen as the main songs of the second- and third-tier girl groups. Now Girls' Generation is on fire because of "Gee". When choosing the title song for your next album, it's important to be careful and nuanced.
The anxious Kim Young-min is finally ushering in the season full of spring, and the song "Genie" is the song that Yu Yongzhen has given the highest evaluation in the past two months, and it should be a good title song.
"Good! Then I'll settle down and go to Kim so Young in a while. Let him bring Girls' Generation here! Kim Young-min smiled, suddenly full of confidence and radiant to describe him.
Yu Yongzhen pondered for a moment. Then he picked up the song sheet of "Genie" again and said with a smile: "This time." I'll record them! ”
Jin Yingmin looked at Yu Yongzhen in surprise, and was slightly happy in his heart. Naturally, he would not refuse, and agreed very happily.
……
Kim Sung-han, who has been busy with the return of the mini-series for some time, suddenly received a phone call one day in May.
“omo! Ye Zhen ヌナ! You even have time to find me! As soon as Jin Shenghan picked up the phone, he teased with a little funny.
"Brother! Come out and have a meal with your sister! Unexpectedly, ignoring Kim Sung-han's ridiculous tone, Park Ye-jin's words were full of sadness.
"What's wrong? Is there anything unhappy about my sister? Kim Sung-han easily sensed that something was wrong, and Park Ye-jin's tone and reaction were not as he expected.
"Come out and say it! Are you free? Park Ye-jin asked again in the wrong tone.
"Yes! Send me the address and I'll go over now! Jin Shenghan dropped the pen in his other hand, jumped up directly, and said to his mobile phone. He has always been full of gratitude to Park Ye-jin, in terms of his identity as an actor, when he was still a fledgling, he received a lot of help from Park Ye-jin, and Park Ye-jin invited staff for Kim Sung-han in the crew has always been quite praised, and even now, Kim Sung-han has a lot of fans who remember this.
I've always felt a little guilty because I didn't take the initiative to do anything, and even the visit to the class was because my sister suddenly came to complain. Park Ye-jin is in a bad mood today, even if he is having a press conference now, he will rush over, and it is finally time for him to do something for Park Ye-jin.
packed up his things, Kim Sung-han also received the address sent by Park Ye-jin, and couldn't wait to rush out of the door, although Park Ye-jin kept emphasizing in the message that he was not in a hurry, but Kim Sung-han did have an impatient mood at this time! (To be continued......)
