Chapter 63: MV
Kim Do-jun heard the sound of the door opening, turned his head to look, and he hadn't seen a human face yet, and as soon as he looked at the hairstyle, he knew that Brother Tiger had come in, and his hairstyle was always more recognizable than his face.
"Brother Tiger, hello." Kim Do-jun quickly stood up and greeted respectfully.
Gary and Ji also stood up, and the three of them lightly bumped fists into each other, standard American greeting etiquette.
When Kim Do-jun saw it, he also came over and touched his fist, he also likes to say hello like this, and it is not suitable for him to bend down and bow at every turn.
"The three of you are here today, how are the preparations for the new album, there is not much time left in August."
At this time, tigerjk took out the appearance of the boss, usually giggling does not mean that he does not care about the situation of his singers, on the contrary, he is more cautious than anyone else, every time a singer releases an album is after detailed planning, detailed discussion and decision, this is a big deal, if you don't get the market and the public's reputation, the popularity of this singer or group will disappear very quickly.
"Brother Tiger, it's such a coincidence that you're here, we just finished a sample of the title song, how about not listening to it."
Gary said as he stood next to him, looking bewildered.
"The title song has already been completed, so quickly, it seems a bit unexpected to me."
Tiger touched the beard on his chin, a little disbelieving.
"Daojun, let Brother Tiger listen to it again, and see how our title song goes." Ji also said beside him.
Kim Do-joon clicked on the recorded sample and started playing.
Originally, tigerjk was a little unimpressed, although the title song has been completed, but in such a hurry, how can a good work come out?
From the beginning of the melody, tigerjk was completely attracted by the song, especially the female voice at the beginning, as soon as it came up, it grabbed people's hearts, and people couldn't help but listen to it, although the rap in the first bar was a little immature, the feelings were still good, it should be sung by Daojun.
After listening to a song quickly, Tiger nodded with a smile and spoke.
"This female voice is ali, I knew it was her as soon as I heard the voice, my wife also said before that she admired her and wanted to sign her into the company."
Kim Do-joon poked Gary and asked, "Is Brother Tiger already married?" When did it happen? I haven't heard of it. ”
Looking at Kim Do-joon's puzzled look, Gary whispered.
"Brother Tiger is married, and his sister-in-law's name is Yin Meilai, and she is also a hiphop female singer, very powerful, and she will let you know him when he has the opportunity in the future."
Kim Do-jun nodded slightly and did not continue to speak.
"Ji, did you make the tune for this song? Also Did you do the lyrics to Gary's song? ”
TigerJK didn't ask Kim Do-joon at all, because he hadn't thought Kim Do-joon could write such beautiful and sad words.
What good words can a nineteen-year-old man write, although the song "Joker" is good, it is just a coincidence.
"Brother Tiger, you guessed wrong now, it's not my composition, nor Gary's lyrics, it's all done by Daojun alone, we're just here to record, hehe."
Yoshiya seemed very happy, and it was refreshing to watch Tiger eat deflated.
"Really? Didn't you two play tricks on me? Do-joon, when did you become so mature and write such sad words, it seems that you have experienced a lot. ”
Tiger looked at Kim Do-joon meaningfully and said.
"Brother Tiger, don't make fun of me, I just feel it, where are there so many experiences, thank you for the compliment." Kim Do-joon was a little embarrassed and touched his hair.
"This hairstyle is good, it suits you very well, I just noticed, now I have started to look like an artist, by the way, this title song is almost finished now, so when will the MV be recorded? Let's start doing this matter quickly, the three of you will rearrange the remaining songs, hurry up and record them, and all of them will be implemented in the next few days, ready to release a new album. ”
Tigerjk said neatly, since the title song has been written, the rest is a few bits and pieces, just take care of everything.
"Brother Tiger, this MV, we want to invite Cheng Fan to participate, can you watch it?" Gary spoke.
"Yes, I'll help you find the MV director, and you can do the rest specifically, I'll just look at the final result."
Ji saw that TigerJK had agreed, thought about what Dojoon had just said, and then spoke. "Brother Tiger, we hope to find a ballet dancer to cooperate with this MV, originally Daojun was inspired when he was writing the song, so he has some ideas, can you let him communicate with the director at that time, and listen to his opinion on the plot of the MV."
The ones who can really speak in the company are TigerJK's wife Yoon Mi-rae, Leessang, Bizzy, and Teby.
As a newcomer, Kim Do-jun can't intervene in anything at all, he is originally a busy member of the group, and if he makes various requirements, he will definitely be managed.
But from Ji's mouth, then it's no problem, it means the attitude of the whole group and Gary and Ji have recognized Kim Do-joon's strength, only then can he really integrate into this group.
Tigerjk thought about it carefully, since he chose to sign Kim Do-joon, didn't he fancy his potential?
An American student who has just graduated can create two very high-quality songs in a short period of time, and the level is quite good, let's see what height he can grow to in the future, this matter is just a small thing.
"Okay, I'll tell the director, I'll do it according to Do-joon's idea when the time comes, don't worry about anything else now, start recording tomorrow, and I'll see all the songs ready next week."
After saying that, tigerjk stood up and walked out, leaving the three people in the room looking at each other, and the next thing was a busy life.
In the next three days, Kim Do-joon went into the recording studio with Gary and Ji, except for eating and going to the toilet, basically all the time was working, recording all the remaining songs, striving for excellence, every pronunciation, every rap is the most accurate and the best.
"Chengfan, it's here!"
Gary took Kim Do-joon to the studio, this time for the MV shooting, the company basically rented a studio without any cost, and even the actors, directors, and camera team are very good friends, even if the fee is symbolic, there will not be a lot at all.
Gary complained: "The company is really picky, and every time I shoot a MV, I refuse to spend money, and it's not the first time I've done this." ”
Kim Dojun just listened and smiled slightly, fortunately his idea is not very difficult to realize, just need to set up a few scenes, otherwise, with the strength of the company's support, the effect will definitely be very poor, and it is estimated that he should be scolded in the end.
"Ah, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I'm going to release an album again, congratulations, it should be the fourth album, I hope your album is a big hit."
Liu Chengfan said with a smile on his face, he in life is completely different from him in TV and movies, as long as the camera is turned on, he will enter the state completely, and he is a person who likes to make trouble very much in private, always likes to joke and fight.
"Brother Chengfan, you guessed wrong now, come, let me introduce to you, our new member Leessang Kim Dojun, call him Dojun, he is only nineteen years old this year, he has just returned from studying in the United States, and he is a composer! The title song of our album is that he wrote and composed the music completely independently, how amazing! ”
Gary hugged Kim Do-joon's shoulders and leaned intimately together.
"Really? When did you reorganize, I don't know, Daojun, yes, it's nice to meet you, call me Brother Chengfan, I'm older than you, hehe. ”
Yoo Seung-beom said with a smile on his face, it is the most comfortable to be with people who make music, and it is very relaxing, unlike acting, sometimes even if you don't like the role, you have to bite the bullet.
"Hello Brother Chengfan, please take care of me when we meet for the first time." Kim Do-jun is still a little restrained, the first time I saw him, it is unlikely that he will be very familiar at once, that is pretending, not real, it takes time to understand others, it takes a process.
"This time is equivalent to our first album, Chengfan, you have to support a lot!" Gary spoke.
"I know, so as soon as you said to act, didn't you immediately agree? Back to the album out, I want a new album autographed by the three of you, not too much! ”
Yoo Seung-bum patted Kim Do-joon's shoulder and said with a smile.
"No problem, we'll sign it and send it over." Kim Do-joon said immediately.
"Let's go, I'll take you to meet the MV director, I've worked together many times before."
Kim Do-joon, Gary and Yoo Seung-bum went to meet the MV director together, and at the same time, the ballerina also came, and Kim Do-joon simply expressed his thoughts.
The plot of the MV is not very difficult, the general meaning is that the male protagonist starring Yoo Seung-bum is a photographer, the heroine is a ballerina, both of them are in love, for some reason, the girl died, and the male protagonist has never been able to come out of his grief, and has been fantasizing, until one day the girl pushes the door in, and the girl dances around the male protagonist, but in the end, the washed out photo found that the girl was already dead.
What the whole plot wants to express is that people who love each other can't be together, and there may be nothing more painful than this.
After Kim Do-joon has explained all the plots, the rest is not their business, and Yoo Seung-bum and the ballet dancers each find their own feelings and imagine themselves as the people in the MV.
The director thinks more, he needs to listen to the music, understand the rhythm of the music, and then grasp the structure of the MV, the shooting of each shot, the close-up of the facial expressions, how to play the lighting, the use of the camera, what kind of expression is shown on the human face, and how to deal with the dead makeup of the ballet dancer, these are all scheduled by the director on the spot.
Kim Do-jun was next to him, and while watching, he kept writing down some things he saw and thought were more important.
"Why, Daojun, I have a lot of ambitions, and I want to be a director in the future." Gary stood aside and watched Kim Do-joon keep writing, teasing.
"Hehe, it's always good to learn more when you're young, maybe it'll be useful later, isn't it?" Kim Do-joon said with a smile.
In this way, time passed quickly, the MV shooting went smoothly, and the professional actors, professional camera team and professional directors equaled the success of the shooting.
When they were separated, Kim Do-jun also specially changed his personal phone number with Yoo Seung-beom, and agreed to contact him often in the future.
Just two days later, after rough cutting, fine cutting, and fine cutting, the MV has come out completely, and the cold hair of several people who watched it stood up, to be honest, it was a little scary, but even so, it was shot very well, and the effect was very good, and Kim Do-joon was also very satisfied.
On August 28, the fourth album "BlackSun" of the leessang group was finally officially released, and the MV was ushered in before it was officially broadcast.
