80. Success
When the tune is finally decided, it also indicates that the song will be recorded soon, Kim Jong Kook's singing strength is really as Fang Sihyuk said, very powerful, basically when you have any requirements or ideas during the recording, he can sing it immediately according to your needs. And the songs sung are impeccable, both in voice and emotion.
This point makes Lee Jun-hyuk, who is learning to sing, very envious, especially the emotions rich in singing, which is what Lee Jun-hyuk lacks the most.
Every day when he was resting, Lee Jun-hyuk followed Kim Jong Kook like a curious baby, holding a notebook in his hand and recording while asking.
Kim Jong Kook appreciates Lee Jun Hyuk's learning attitude very much, and he is also a talkative person, so whenever Lee Jun Hyuk asks something, he will explain it to Lee Jun Hyuk in great detail.
"Brother Zhong Guo, why are your songs so full of emotion, I have listened to almost all of your songs these days, and almost every song you can give it the kind of emotion it deserves according to the song, how did you do it?" During a recording break, Lee Jun-hyuk asked the question on his mind.
"It would be nice to talk more about love." Kim Jong Kook replied very seriously.
"Huh?" Hearing Kim Jong Kook's words, Lee Jun Hyuk was stunned, this reason was so speechless, he couldn't say anything else except for Ah.
"Ha Luha, are you kidding, Jun Hyuk, don't be so serious, relax and relax." Kim Jong Kook saw Lee Jun Hyuk's appearance, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled and said.
"It scared me, I almost understood that 'if you want to be a singer, you have to fall in love first'. If that's the case, I'll really have to think about whether the singer is suitable for me. Hearing Kim Jong Kook's words, Lee Jun Hyuk breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"Okay, I won't mess with you, I'll talk to you well, first of all, do you know what is the most taboo thing for a singer? Kim Jong Kook asked seriously.
"The most taboo thing, if you don't count the basics such as pitch, then the most taboo thing in singing should be whether you can invest emotionally." Li Junhyuk thought for a moment and said.
"It's right to invest in feelings, but the most taboo thing is also the issue of feelings, and the most taboo thing for singers is to invest too much emotion." Hearing Lee Jun-hyuk's answer, Kim Jong-kook said ambiguously.
“?” Lee Jun-hyuk looked at Kim Jong Kook with a puzzled expression, he didn't understand what Kim Jong Kook meant.
"A good singer, the most important thing he should do is to present a song to everyone completely, in this process, the most basic thing should be to do not go out of tune, not to drag the beat, to ensure that after these, to be able to bring everyone or laughter, or moved and other so-called emotional feelings." Seeing Lee Jun-hyuk looking at him seriously, Kim Jong Kook began to explain to him.
"But when a singer invests too much emotion, you will lose control of your voice and the song because of the drastic change in mood. Let this song lose its original stability. You can't present the song to everyone in its entirety, what kind of singer is that. The so-called singer is a performer, you have to sing to the audience, not to sing to yourself, so even if your emotions are very strong, you are moved when you sing, and then cause the songs you sing to be miserable, then you are not a professional performance, not a qualified singer. Because when you move yourself, you lose control of the song, and he can't fully present the song to the audience. ”
"So what can I do to make the song emotional, but not fully immerse myself in it?" Lee Jun-hyuk took the pen and quickly recorded Kim Jong-kook's words and continued to ask.
"It's very simple, invest a little emotionally, and then amplify these feelings through various singing skills, and then make the audience feel that you sing so emotionally, so that they themselves feel moved, this is what a professional singer should do." Kim Jong Kook replied very professionally.
Maybe what Kim Jong Kook said is a little biased, but in fact, as a real singer, he is indeed like what he said, while touching thousands of fans, he can perfectly control everything.
"Listening to what you say, I think my path has become longer." Lee Jun Hyuk carefully recalled what Kim Jong Kook had just said, and then said with a wry smile.
"Jun Hyuk, this thing sounds quite mysterious, but in fact, as long as you sing more and perform more, you will gradually master it yourself. Actually, I couldn't do it at the beginning, but I performed a lot, and when I accumulated experience, I slowly mastered these things. Hearing Lee Jun-hyuk's words, Kim Jong Kook comforted.
"It's okay, brother, I don't have any merits as a person, I just am more persistent, what I want to do, whether it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, it will definitely be done. So, whether it's a producer or a singer, even if it takes five or ten years, I will do it. You can look at it with confidence. This is the first time Lee Jun-hyuk has told others about his goals.
"Yes, I'm sure you can do it." Looking at the light in Lee Jun-hyuk's eyes, Kim Jong Kook had a feeling that the kid in front of him would surpass himself in the music world in the future.
"Yes, the break is over. Continue to work, and after recording the last part of the work, our work will be over. After that, we went to dinner together, and I had a treat. Just as Lee Jun-hyuk and Kim Jong-kook were chatting, Fang Si-hyuk ran out of the bathroom, in fact, this break was because he wanted to go to the bathroom.
"Okay, there's still the last part, come on, everyone." Kim Jong Kook also stood up and cheered everyone up.
Compared with the previous recording of "Star", Kim Jong Kook's recording efficiency is really much higher, except for the one day it took to change the tune, he basically finished the recording in only two days, in fact, most of the time in these two days was also taken up by a few people's occasional small ideas.
In order to make the song perfect. Every note, every harmony, every accompaniment is eager to break it down and figure it out, so sometimes because of a harmony problem, it is necessary to stop and discuss until it is passed, which is the real reason why Kim Jong Kook recorded this piece for two whole days.
After recording the last epilogue, several people in the studio gathered in the mixing room to play the final recorded soundtrack.
At the beginning of the music, after a piano sound, Kim Jong Kook's gentle and delicate voice sounded, and in the entire A section, only the sound of the piano and Kim Jong Kook's voice were intertwined, and the warm lyrics made people fall into the gentle singing of Kim Jong Kook at once.
Entering the B section, it is the same melody as the first few bars of the A section, but with the addition of a light cymbal sound to beat the rhythm, and then the addition of a violin sub-melody raises the emotion of the song by a notch, and in the second half of the B section, the violin's sudden increase in notes makes the song move from the B section to the chorus very naturally, as if it was born to be so.
Entering the chorus, at this time, the accompaniment of the piano and the chorus of the violin echo the gentle and delicate voice of Kim Jong Kook. The rhythm of stepping on cymbals is like a dragonfly touching water, warming people's hearts.
Returning to section B again, although there are no changes in the melody and layout, the change in lyrics further deepens the emotion of the song and makes a big foreshadowing for the next climax.
After the chorus again, the song naturally enters the C section, which is different from the A section and the B section, and the C section is actually like the B section of the chorus, both the lyrics and the melody, so this becomes the climax of the whole song. The timbre of the piano, drum kit, guitar, violin, and harmonic device all appear and echo each other, and it is also in this section that the harmony recorded by Lee Jun-hyuk floats far above, complementing the voice of Kim Jong Kook and pushing the song to the climax.
After just four lines of lyrics, the song begins with the most inflected sub-melody. Raising a big second degree directly is not a difficult thing for Kim Jong Kook, but for the whole song, it is the finishing touch, because not only does it not let the song fall back from the climax of the C segment, but it makes the song go from the climax to another climax. The emotion of the whole song is expressed most strongly in this paragraph, and it can be said that this paragraph is the most exciting part of the whole song.
And after the climax, the slightly soothing ending is still gentle, allowing you to reminisce about the strong emotions in front of you until the end.
When the song ended, everyone in the room was immersed in this gentle singing, even the singer Kim Jong Kook was no exception, and when these people came to their senses. Several people happily hugged each other, because they knew that this song would be a success.
