77. Kim Jong Kook

Although Lee Jun-hyuk, who has known Fang Shihyuk and Lee Byung-hun and others, is already a person who has half a foot in the entertainment industry, if you talk about it seriously, if Lee Jun-hyuk really wants to enter the entertainment industry, he still has a lot of things to learn, the first thing is that he needs to popularize the first-line celebrities in the circle first.

He didn't know Lee Byung-hun when he saw him in the coffee shop before, and he didn't know Song Hye Kyo at all, if it weren't for Yang Lei's quick reaction, maybe he wouldn't know that the other party was a star at all.

And this time it was the same problem, although Fang Shihe had already said that the other party was a big singer, but for the sake of secrecy, Fang Shihe did not say the name of this star, so when the big singer entered the door, Li Junhe didn't know the other party's name at all.

"Hello, I'm singer Kim Jong Kook, thank you for your attention." When the star came in and said the first sentence, Li Junhe knew that he was talking about what he was doing, and Fang Shihe said that he was super good in the circle.

Indeed, this man named Kim Jong Kook is not too young to read books, although he is well maintained, but in terms of his temperament and demeanor, he is at least about to be 30 years old, but whether it is the identity of a big star or the appearance of his predecessors, he has not shown it at all.

On the contrary, when he met the two juniors, Lee Jun-hyuk and Kim Kyu-hyun, he not only greeted him first, but also made a standard 90-degree bow when introducing himself.

"Hello." Seeing Kim Jong Kook's appearance, Lee Jun Hyuk also hurriedly got up and responded 90 degrees.

"Wow, it's TURBO, it's Kim Jong Kook." Kim Gyu-hyun is not as indifferent as Lee Jun-hyuk, he was originally very curious about the big singer in Fang Shihyuk's mouth, and after studying under Fang Shihyuk for so many years, he has never seen Fang Shihyuk say who the big singer is.

Kim Jong Kook debuted in 1995 as the lead singer of the group Turbo. The name Turbo doesn't seem like much now, but in the mid-to-late 90s, it was a bellwether for the K-pop scene, at the peak of turbo. Even H.O.T, which is popular in Asia, has to avoid taboo edges, which shows the influence of this group in South Korea. And Kim Jong Kook, as the only lead singer of Turbo, is even more prosperous.

But such a good combination, but because of the various actions of the brokerage company, it led to several divisions and mergers, and finally dissolved. And Kim Jong Kook also terminated his contract with the agency and began to fly solo, but due to various obstructions from the former agency, his first album of solo flight failed, and now he is at a low ebb in his career.

"Zhong Guo, why did you come so early, isn't there still 20 minutes to get to the agreed time?" Hearing the voice, Fang Shihyuk ran out of the recording studio, and when he saw Kim Jong Kook, he asked in surprise.

"I wanted to familiarize myself with the songs in advance, so that the recording would go a little smoother." Seeing Fang Si-hyuk, Kim Jong Kook stepped forward and hugged the other party, and then explained.

"Come, let me introduce you, this is the songwriter of the work I sent you, Lee Jun-hyuk, who is now studying music production with me. Oh, by the way, he and Lee Byung-hun have a good relationship. Fang Shihe's introduction is very skillful, if he just introduced the other party's name or something, maybe the two of them are still very unfamiliar. But coupled with the fact that the last sentence has a good relationship with Li Bingxian, it is different.

Fang Sihyuk said before that Kim Jong Kook's popularity in the circle is very good, although he and Lee Byung-hun are actors and singers, but for various reasons, their relationship is also good, so when Kim Jong Kook heard that Lee Jun Hyuk and Lee Byung-hun have a good relationship, because they have mutual friends, they will feel closer in their hearts.

"Jun Hyuk, I don't need to say much about this, Kim Jong Kook, a powerful singer who can rank among the top three in the Korean pop music scene. If you have any singing problems, just go straight to him, that's right. Turning around, Fang Shihe introduced Li Junhe again.

"Hello, Jun Hyukxi, I have a very close relationship with Brother Bingxian, if you don't mind, you can also call me brother." Sure enough, after being introduced by Fang Si-hyuk, Kim Jong-kook kissed Lee Jun-hyuk a lot.

"That's good, Brother Zhong Guo, just call me Jun He in the future, and you don't want to see outside." Hearing Kim Jong Kook's words, Lee Jun Hyuk also said.

Without further ado, after the greetings, everyone went straight to work.

Fang Sihyuk wanted Lee Jun Hyuk to try the whole work of the producer alone, and although Lee Jun Hyuk was very tempted to hear it, he still refused, because Lee Jun Hyuk's habit is to never do things that he is not sure of. Although he is now using a slightly tricky method to make more mature tunes, it is definitely not possible to let him control the overall situation.

Fang Shihe was not surprised by Li Junhyuk's refusal, after knowing him for more than half a year, he had almost figured out what Li Junhyuk looked like when he was working, introverted, calm, serious, and never did things that he was not sure of. To some extent, the 20-year-old Fang Shihe is often more mature than him, an old guy in his 30s. If it weren't for the fact that his temperament had begun to become more lively now, Fang Shihe really didn't know which of the two of them was the real old guy.

Li Junhe didn't know that Lu Dao Fang Shihe had such a high evaluation of himself, and at this moment, he started learning mode again, and frantically began to record everything he felt useful.

The "Rubik's Cube" studio has been closed from December to April, and for more than 100 days, Li Junhyuk has basically not been idle, and every night, he studies until one or two o'clock in the morning, and basically he only sleeps for about five hours a day. It's just that.

And the harvest brought by such hard work is also very huge. Finding his own method of composing music is only one thing, and in addition, he has absorbed all the knowledge content that he has been exposed to in school and in the studio before, so he can do the kind of thing that makes Fang Shihe feel powerful.

You must know that you can make a song as simple as looking at pictures and writing, and in Korea, no, there are not many people in the world who can do it.

Of course, this is not all he has learned during this time, in addition to the ones mentioned above, he has also learned some other things about arrangement and orchestration, and these things are new things that he needs to practice when he works in the "Rubik's Cube" this time.

On the other hand, Lee Jun-hyuk's singing skills have also improved tremendously, because he sings for an hour and a half every night in the coffee shop, and although he now chooses some cheerful songs, he can already send and receive freely in terms of voice and breath control.

Although Fang Shihyuk is still unaware of his current progress in singing skills, there is no need to worry about this, I believe that he will have the opportunity to ask Kim Jong Kook about this matter in the next few days.

This is the second singer's recording that Lee Jun-hyuk has participated in, compared to the star, Kim Jong Kook's efficiency is much higher, and he is worthy of being a big singer who has been famous for many years, whether it is singing strength or recording experience, Kim Jong Kook is much more powerful than the star, although the star is not bad, but in terms of experience, she is not enough compared to Kim Jong Kook. I believe that in a few years, she may be able to catch up with Kim Jong Kook's efficiency in the recording studio.

Kim Jong Kook's voice is very disproportionate to his figure, the big muscles of his body look very manly, but the voice that sings is very gentle and delicate, Fang Si Hyuk and Kim Gyu Hyun have long known Kim Jong Kook's voice, so they don't feel anything, but when Lee Jun Hyuk first heard Kim Jong Kook sing, it was really very surprising, the contrast was too great, fortunately, Lee Jun Hyuk's concentration was very good, and he didn't show any surprised expression, which didn't attract the attention of the people next to him.

After a audition, Kim Jong Kook walked out of the recording studio and chatted with Bang Si Hyuk and Lee Jun Hyuk about his feelings about the song, and put forward his own questions and thoughts in some subtle places.

This is also something that has never happened when Xing was recording, because Xing was completely listening to Fang Shihe when he was recording, and all the questions were raised by Fang Shihe alone.

But Kim Jong Kook is different, no matter what, this is the song he wants to sing, so his feelings about this song are actually very important, so the ideas he puts forward are sometimes very important.

"It turns out that this is the aura that the so-called big singer should have." Seeing Kim Jong Kook and Fang Si Hyuk talking there, Lee Jun Hyuk thought.
