Chapter 306: The Recording Process
Kim Do-jun walked into the company and found that the trainees who had laughed at him before were standing on both sides of the wall, respectfully lining up and bowing their heads to let them pass, with an expression full of respect on their faces.
Deliberately stopped, glanced at a few people, and said lightly.
"Practice well, there will be a day when you make your debut, and the training now is to become a better singer in the future! You'll have a chance, don't worry! Don't stay here, go for it! ”
Kim Do-jun waved his hand and motioned for them to leave, there is no need to be so restrained in a company, and there is no need to engage in formalism.
Although he was lucky to make his debut and was taken care of by Brother Gary, Brother Ji and Brother Tiger, he still cherishes such an opportunity.
To be honest, Kim Do-jun enjoys the status of his predecessors, and there is a sense of pleasure in saying that he is not clear.
No wonder I heard Brother Gary say that no matter how old or young the trainees are, as long as they debut, they will immediately become seniors, and it seems that they have not lied to themselves.
"Thank you, senior, we will!"
Several trainees bowed respectfully and said in unison.
Everyone glanced at each other, then quickly left and continued to train in the practice room.
Kim Do-jun shook his head and said with a smile.
"It's so tender! Just like when I first came back! ”
After speaking, he walked leisurely to the company's recording studio while humming a song.
The empty recording studio was empty, Kim Do-jun knew that Brother Ji didn't come over so early, so he specially arrived early, and the province was complained by Brother Ji.
After tidying up the house and putting things down, turn on the air conditioner and recording equipment. Sit there. Quietly waited.
About fifteen minutes later. Hearing the sound of high heels "stepping on the feet", Kim Dojun deliberately did not close the door, just to facilitate them to come over, and they could also hear the sound of walking.
"Brother Ji, Sister Zhengya, good morning!"
When Kim Do-joon saw everyone coming in, he took the lead in greeting them, but the other members behind him were not familiar with it, so he was a little embarrassed. You can only nod your head as a sign of politeness.
"Daojun, come here so early, thank you for your hard work, how is it?"
Ji Dae was still wearing politeness and sunglasses in winter, and seeing that Kim Do-joon was in a good mood, he patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"It's okay, it's not very hard, just arrived!"
Several members took their seats in turn. Everyone introduced each other, and Kim Do-jun completely recognized him.
Short hair. With a wild face is the little witch Xu In-young, who is looking at Kim Do-jun curiously at this time, listening to Zhengya say that the title song of the new album is ready, and she will come to record it today.
But when I came to the recording studio, this producer was too young and a little curious, so I looked Kim Do-joon up and down, wanting to see any clues from him.
"Daojun, you let them listen to the tune first, after all, the first contact, there must be some unfamiliar places, after listening to it, you can explain what the key points of this song need to pay attention to!"
Several people surrounded the city in a circle, and the members of Jewelry were all sitting on the sofa, and Kim Do-joon and Ji moved a swivel chair next to it and began to sit down and talk seriously.
Kim Do-joon turned on the recording equipment and asked them to feel it in advance, try it out, and find out how it felt to be recording.
As soon as the melody came out, everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
Kim Do-jun took the lyrics that had already been printed, followed the melody, and hummed softly, although it was a male voice, it was still well digested.
“babyonemoretime!”
“letmeblowyourmind……!”
A song is not long, it is not short, it is only a few minutes, and the members of Jewelry did not speak after listening to it, and they were still immersed in the melody just now.
Kim Do-joon loosened his hat, looked at Ji, and said with a smile.
"Brother Ji, what do you think?"
Ji was stunned, and only reacted when he heard Kim Do-jun's voice, nodded calmly, and said.
"To my surprise, I didn't expect Dojun to be so good at composing and writing lyrics now, it's only been a few days, and he has reached such a level, which is really impressive, it seems that the title of Leessang's first composer will be given to you in the future! The key is that this lyric is really written at a level, when was it written? ”
Ji took the printed lyrics from Kim Do-joon's hand and asked suspiciously.
"Sister Zhengya, what do you think? Is it appropriate? ”
Kim Do-joon also asked with a smile, I remember that Sister Jeong-ah told herself that she was not satisfied with the title song after picking a lot of title songs, so the matter of the new album has been dragging on there, and seeing that next month is February, I am a little anxious in my heart, so I asked Ji for help to see what can be done.
So as soon as Kim Do-joon said that he was done, he could come over and record it, and immediately dragged the members over to see what the quality of the new song was.
Although Kim Do-joon doesn't sing very well, it may be a relationship created for female singers, but after listening to the melody and Kim Do-joon's humming lyrics, his heart has slowly made waves, this is the song he needs, and it matches the style and dance of the new album very well.
Now she can't wait to practice it and see how it works.
"I think it's great, is this what you just made? It's incredible! ”
Park Zhengya covered her mouth and said with some surprise, her face full of joy.
Kim Dojun waved his hand shyly, signaling that he didn't need to say so, a little too much, just after listening to Brother Ji's emotion, and hearing Sister Zhengya's praise, is this the rhythm of good things coming in pairs?
"Brother Ji, you are talking nonsense, I am still far away! The melody and rhythm of the song are mainly due to what Sister Zhengya gave, I adapted the song from it a little, and it became like this, as for the lyrics, then you are really wrong, I didn't write it, it was written by the mythical Brother Minyu! ”
Jin Daojun said with a slight smile, it's not his own work, there is no need to admit it blindly, it is better to take the initiative to say it.
"The mythical Minwoo? When was it written? ”
Ji asked with a look of disbelief, tilting his head sideways, staring at Kim Do-joon.
"Just two days ago. He called me. Ask me what I'm doing. I said that I was helping Sister Zhengya write a song, and I immediately hung up the phone and ran to the recording studio to see me, and I was interested for a while, saying that I wanted to help me write the lyrics, so I took it back, and sent it to me the next afternoon, Brother Ji, don't say it. Brother Min Woo is really talented in lyrics, don't you say? ”
After Kim Do-joon finished speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Ji, as if expecting his approval.
"Of course, you don't know who Lee Min-woo is, I remember that in July last year, his solo had just returned, and he won the championship of the music sales chart in July, and in one fell swoop, Sister Meilai, TVXQ, Brain, and Kim Dongwan of the same group, all fell off the horse. I still remember that Sister Meilai complained for a long time at that time! ”
Ji helped his sunglasses and said lightly. They are old friends who have known each other for many years, although they have not been together for a long time, as long as there is someone who needs help, it must be obligatory, as long as they open their mouths, a word of things.
"Really? The album sells so well? How can it be? ”
Kim Dojun didn't believe it, to be honest, the sales exceeded Sister Meilai and Flytothesky, and he could still believe that it was not an easy thing to blow up TVXQ.
"This album is produced independently by Minyu himself, 9 of the 12 songs are written and arranged by himself, which is quite not easy, during the interview, I also heard that he is under a lot of pressure, and he can't sleep well all day, as soon as he lies in bed, his mind is full of album things, fortunately, there are many friends to help, like Brother Tiger, Sister Meilai, Tablo, Eric, which made him persist in 4 months and completed the production of the album, the title song of the album "STOMP" It's an upgrade of the strong dance songs "Bump" and "Battle" in the 2nd album, Dojun, I recommend you listen to Minwoo's "Bump" when you have time, maybe it will be of great help to you, after all, Leessang is very free, whether you like hiphop music, R&B music, you can develop, there is no need to restrain yourself, you are still young, you can try solo in the future, recently Gary and I are also discussing, Do you want to start a leessang band in the future, and find a special place to set up a theater, so that fans who like our music can have a place to meet and chat, what do you say? ”
Ji said a little too much at once, and the amount of information was relatively large, and after listening carefully, Kim Do-jun thought for a while before he spoke.
"Brother Ji, I'll take the time to listen to Brother Minyu's tunes, put down other things first, and concentrate on the things in front of me, then I'll tell Sister Zhengya about what needs to be paid attention to in this song and what parts the members are responsible for!"
After saying that, Kim Do-joon moved the stool, leaned in towards the members of Jewelry, and began to talk to them about the main point of the song.
Ji sat in front of the recording device, operated the editing software on the Apple computer, and looked at it carefully.
It lasted for more than two hours, Kim Do-joon's mouth was dry, and when he saw the members nodding their heads, he knew that he had almost understood, so he stood up, walked to the computer desktop, took a sip of water, and spoke.
"Brother Ji, I'm almost on my side, why don't you try it again, I'll leave again, and hear how it works?"
"No, it's up to me next! You have a very clear mark, where is rap, where is harmony, everyone's part is very detailed, thank you so much! ”
Ji stood up, hugged Kim Do-jun warmly, patted Kim Do-joon on the back, and kept saying thank you.
"Brother Ji, it's too polite, I'm not free, haha, as long as Sister Zhengya thinks it's good, I don't have any regrets!"
Kim Do-jun scratched the back of his head and said slowly.
"Got it, don't worry, I have a hunch that this song will be a big hit, you just sit at home and wait for the copyright income! The cost of the song, I'll let Yongzhe talk about it, don't worry! ”
Ji looked kind, touched the mustache on his chin, and said with a smile.
"Hmmm! That's it for now, I'm still fine, I'll see you later! ”
Kim Do-joon, Ji and the members of Jewelry nodded and bowed in turn to say hello, and then packed up their things and prepared to leave. (To be continued......)
