Chapter 41 Signing
The next morning, Kim Do-jun came to the company early, today is a very special day, when he went back last night, Kim Do-jun sent a text message to the company's boss tigerjk, telling him that his song sample had been done, and hoped to listen to tigerjk's reaction.
Tigerjk received the text message and gave back one word: "Okay".
Crisp and short, this is the style of the boss of the hiphop company, if you blindly care and love instead of covering up your true character, hiphop singers advocate freedom, the pursuit of individuality, like is like, dislike is not like, no matter how you change it, this is also the truest portrayal of Kim Do-joon's character.
So Kim Do-jun came to the company early in the morning to make the final preparations.
Around ten o'clock in the morning, TigerJK was late, looking very sleepy, tired, and yawning incessantly.
Jin Daojun asked with a puzzled expression, "Brother Tiger, why do you look so sleepy?" Didn't sleep well last night. ”
It's like this, as soon as you come up, you listen to Kim Do-joon's songs, and it's no wonder that you can give a good evaluation!
Although Kim Do-jun still looks immature, it doesn't mean that he is stupid, it is better to chat first when he first comes, adjust the atmosphere, and improve his interest is the key to chatting.
Tigerjk didn't answer directly, but asked the assistant next to him to help him buy a cup of coffee, as if he really didn't sleep well last night.
"I slept late last night, yesterday there was a Busan club opened, I was invited over, my friend opened it, there was no way, I couldn't push it off, I could only go to the show, and after the performance, I accompanied him to drink some wine, so I got home very late at night, and when I got up in the morning and was ready to go to the toilet, I saw your text message, so I washed up a little and then came over."
Tigerjk squinted as he spoke, deliberately pretending to be dissatisfied.
Kim Do-joon looked at Brother Tiger's fluffy curly hair and sleepy-eyed appearance, and remembered the beggar on the side of the road.
I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hey, what's wrong, why are you laughing." TigerJK looked puzzled.
"It's okay, it's really funny to see my brother look like this now, like a hangover just got up, do you want me to buy you a bowl of sobering soup."
Kim Do-jun didn't dare to say that Brother Tiger was like a beggar, if he said it, maybe he would be cleaned up.
"Okay, don't say so much, let me see your sample, see you called me over early in the morning, if I'm not satisfied, I'm going to clean you up, accompany me to the boxing ring, and practice well."
As TigerJK spoke, he kept pulling his hands, and his bones made a noise.
I didn't see that tigerjk was very thin, and he looked weak, in fact, he really practiced boxing for a long time, when he was in the United States, on the one hand, he learned taekwondo and boxing, of course, it was purely a hobby, and on the other hand, he did protect himself, because he lived in a mixed place between Korean and black neighborhoods, and the law and order were more chaotic, so he learned how to protect himself from a young age, and his fists were hard to keep himself from being bullied.
"Brother Tiger, don't make fun of me, I'm your opponent, I'll accompany you to practice well when I have time in the future, let's listen to my sample first." After that, I turned on my computer and clicked on the music file called "Joker".
The beginning is a very simple piano prelude, tigerjk just squinted slightly and listened, when Kim Dojun just finished singing the first bar, tigerjk was curled up on the chair, sat up directly, and began to listen quietly, his fingers kept following the beat of the music, gently lit the table, and soon came to the rap part, tigerjk had begun to slowly shake his body, obviously he had been able to keep up with the rhythm of the song "Joker", The central point of the melody of this song has been found.
Soon a three-minute sample was listened to, Kim Dojun sat on the side like a good baby, ready to listen to the reprimand of the seniors, how can he be praised for the song he just created, at least he will be reprimanded, keep himself motivated, and he will not be proud and complacent, this is what the boss should do, Kim Dojun thought wildly in his mind.
"Daojun, did this by yourself? From composing music to lyrics all? TigerJK asked in disbelief.
It's not that I don't believe in Kim Do-joon, it's just that I didn't imagine that he would write the song so quickly, and I was just optimistic about his potential at the beginning, but I didn't expect that I really looked away, it was gold that always shines, and the people who opposed him signing him at the beginning, if they could hear his songs, they should shut up when they think about it.
"Well, yes, I've been in the studio for days, and I'm almost going crazy."
Kim Do-joon looked at TigerJK's disbelieving expression, and his mood suddenly improved, it turned out that he didn't believe him, but now he was surprised.
"Well, it's really good, especially the lyrics, which really reflect the life of the clown, I didn't expect Daojun to observe it very carefully, but there are some small problems in it that you don't find."
TigerJK, as a senior, has already written many songs, and is a pioneer of Korean hiphop, so it is natural to hear the small faults of Kim Do-joon's creation.
As soon as Jin Daojun heard the little problem, he quickly asked modestly: "Brother Tiger, what's the problem?" ”
TigerJK looked at Kim Do-joon and suddenly felt that Do-joon was a manufacturable material, maybe he was really suitable for hiphop music!
Thinking of this, he naturally didn't hide his secrets, and pointed out the things he thought were not good.
"Daojun, you didn't find that the biggest flaw in this song is that you have been singing it alone, and your chorus part and rap and the middle part can be sung by different people to help you do feat, the effect is better, what do you think?"
TigerJK's words just hit Kim Do-joon's mind, and Kim Do-joon also thought that if this song was sung by himself, it might not be very outstanding, and only different types of hiphop singers could fully interpret it, so he hurriedly said.
"Brother Tiger, I also thought about this problem at that time, to be honest, I also wanted to do this, but I just returned to South Korea, and I don't have any friends in this area, so I can only do this first, then brother, who do you think is suitable for this song?" Kim Do-joon asked rhetorically.
tigerjk touched his chin, and suddenly pondered, each singer has his own unique style, there is no bad song, it's just a matter of interpretation, a good song is sung by another singer, there may be other feelings, but after all, it is not as good as the original song, this is the reason for the style, of course, it contains a lot of factors, feelings, singing, status, etc., but after all, whether you are suitable for this song is the most important reason.
After a long time, TigerJK said slightly: "Daojun, I think Leessang may be more suitable for this song, you can listen to their songs, especially Gary's rap, which has its own unique personality, if you want to improve your rap, you must first find your own rhythm and personality, in addition, Ji's voice is very special and magnetic, especially when performing love songs, the voice is rough and hoarse, which is very rare for them." ”
TigerJK completely dissected the advantages of Leessang at once, analyzed it for himself, and found a comparison from it.
Kim Do-joon knows that his voice is not bad, and he usually doesn't feel it when he speaks, but once he is fully involved in the song, he seems very magnetic, neither the feeling of a young boy, nor the hoarseness of his voice, but the charm of a mature man, the voice is neither as sharp as Kim Jong Kook sounds, nor is it particularly thick, it is a sense of loneliness and loneliness floating in the farmland of Gangwon Province, a sense of loneliness and loneliness, a sense of experiencing the vicissitudes of many things, which is unimaginable for people of this age, It was as if there were a lot of things hidden on his body, but no one knew about it, and he hid alone and licked his wounds.
"Well, okay, then please ask Brother Tiger when to make an appointment with Leessang, I want to meet with them and talk about this song."
Since tigerjk has already said that of course he can't object, and it just so happens that he doesn't know the singers in this circle, it is of course a very good thing to have the opportunity to meet him now.
"Don't you know their agent? I made an appointment with him directly, why do you want me to help. ”
TigerJK said with a teasing face, I don't know who brought him to see him, but now he asked him to help him come to Leessang and make fun of me?
Kim Do-jun looked at TigerJK in confusion, thought about it, and said suspiciously: "Are you talking about Brother Yongzhe?" I forgot, I'm sorry. ”
Kim Do-jun suddenly reacted at this time, remembering that Brother Yongzhe told him a few days ago that he was the agent of the Leessang group, and he forgot about it when he was busy these days.
The two of them have been chatting about music, and Kim Do-jun is also taking the opportunity to absorb knowledge greedily like a sponge, almost everyone here is his senior, and only by insisting on continuous learning can he reach the highest peak.
After the meal, Kim Do-joon was called to TigerJK's office, and when he thought of the appearance when he just came in a few days ago, he couldn't help but sigh, it was really like a lapse of time.
When tigerjk saw Kim Do-joon come in, he directly handed a document to Kim Do-joon, motioning him to take a closer look and not worry.
Jin Daojun looked at the documents, he had already sat down, and suddenly bounced up from the sofa, his fingers trembled slightly, he could see that he was very excited in his heart, and asked with a hint of crying: "Brother Tiger, are you willing to sign me?" ”
TigerJK looked at the excited Kim Do-jun and smiled slightly, and the mustache formed a straight line with the smile.
"You earned it yourself, don't thank me, you take a closer look yourself, the contract is in your hands, isn't it?"
After Kim Do-joon heard TigerJK's words, he gradually calmed down, it is true that signing a contract is only the most basic before his debut, and he still has a lot of things to do, but he is not in a hurry, he has to eat one bite at a time, Ruth has to go step by step, and no one has reached the sky step by step.
Because he is a hiphop singer, the contract is more casual, there are not so many restrictions, and he has not been trained as a trainee, so the sharing ratio is very reasonable, the five-year exclusive contract, the five-five sharing ratio, is simply a luxury in the Korean entertainment industry, few brokerage companies will give such treatment, of course, the agent's income is also based on his own notice to take a cut, because Kim Do-jun already has a private broker, so the company directly circumvents the terms, which is convenient for the company to calculate income, It is also conducive to the announcement arrangement of singers.
Unconditionally obey the notice arranged by the company, this is certain, since the company has signed a contract, of course, you must obey the company's arrangement, but for hiphop singers, although there are many announcements, they are not very busy, because most of the music programs and variety shows are not the turn of hiphop singers to participate, idol artist groups have filled most of the announcements of the three major TV stations, and the rest have to be distributed to the hosts, funny artists, and singers of the older generation, so Kim Do-joon is not worried at all, Since I have chosen this path, I have to go down even if I am on my knees.
The next terms of the contract are some of the usual contents, Kim Do-jun took a general look, picked up the pen and signed his name directly, the contract is in quadruplicate, two copies for the individual and the company, after signing the name and pressing the handprint, tigerjk said something that made Kim Do-jun smile bitterly.
"That's how you debuted as a singer?"
