Chapter 9 Popularity
It wasn't until Lee Myung-hun left S.M that a group of executives put their hearts back in their stomachs, and they couldn't help complaining that Lee Myung-hun had nothing to do as the chief prosecutor of the Seoul district to hang out in the company, and that people would be scared to death. Of course, this can only be slandered, even in the company.
"It's all gone, let's all go and get busy." Kim Young-min raised his hand to show his president's authority.
A group of executives left, leaving Lee so-man, Kim Young-min and Yu Yong-jin in the practice room, and when the management left one by one, the girls of Girls' Generation bowed to the three and said goodbye.
"Kim Tae-yeon stays." Li Xiuman said.
"Yes." Kim Taeyeon stopped her steps and stood not far from the gate, her hands folded, quietly waiting for Lee so-man's instructions.
Li Xiuman turned his head to Yu Yongzhen and said, "What's the matter?" He didn't know the whole process, and even the young people who came to greet him personally by the Seoul District Prosecutor must have come from a lot of people, and he desperately needed to find out the answer.
Yu Yongzhen shook his head and said: "I don't know the specific situation, I was making an album in the recording studio, and I happened to hear the sound of the piano coming from the practice room here." But that young man's creative talent is really amazing, and it would be great if I could join our company. Yu Yongzhen remembered Zhao Yuanxi's unique and wonderful performance of the nine Chinese mixed singing, and couldn't help but mention it.
Li Xiuman snorted heavily, Yu Yongzhen's words are just saying, since Li Mingxian said that it is absolutely impossible, it is really impossible.
Kim Young-min looked at Kim Taeyeon, who was standing by the door, and said, "What do you know?" β
Kim Taeyeon explained in detail the whole process of Jessica bringing Cho Won-hee into the company. Li Xiuman called Jessica up again for questioning, Jessica started from the first time she and Zhao Yuanxi met, and roughly talked about what happened recently between the two, and was a little uneasy after speaking, thinking that Teacher Li Xiuman would not punish him for running out of the dormitory without permission.
The three giants of Chinese, Zhao Yuanxi, and S.M executives also have very little information from Jessica's mouth, and no matter what the origin of this Zhao Yuanxi is, it is undoubtedly believed that he has a deep relationship with Prosecutor General Li Mingxian.
"Send me the video you recorded." Since he has nothing to do with the company, Li Xiuman is no longer entangled, and as a musician, he can't help but be curious about Yu Yongzhen's praise of the nine Chinese dialect mix.
Jessica and Kim Tae-yeon's video completely recreates the entire process of Cho Won-hee's creation of "In My Singing", from the piano score to the multi-language interpretation to the final nine-language mixed arrangement, all of which show Cho Won-hee's extraordinary musical talent. As Yu Yongzhen said, Zhao Yuanxi is a rare genius, but unfortunately he has no chance with S.M.
Jessica was light-footed and light-hearted, and Ms. Li Xiuman and Ms. Yu Yongzhen also expressed their appreciation for Zhao Yuanxi's musical talent, and Jessica felt deeply honored. Jessica returned to the practice room, held her mobile phone for a moment, made up her mind, left the practice room of Girls' Generation, found a secluded corridor corner, flipped through the mobile phone to find Zhao Yuanxi's number, and called back.
The bell rang only twice, and Zhao Yuanxi answered the phone, and a strong and magnetic male voice came out of the earpiece, "I'm Zhao Yuanxi." β
"It's me." Jessica steadied herself and spoke.
"Jessica, it's a pleasure to hear you." Zhao Yuanxi smiled softly.
Jessica clutched her phone tightly, her heart beating faster for no apparent reason, and she didn't say anything.
βJessicaοΌβ Zhao Yuanxi couldn't hear the voice, and couldn't help but call softly.
"I'm here," Jessica collected her emotions and tried to keep her voice as calm as she could, "I want to upload the recorded video online, is that okay?" β
"Of course, that's exactly what I set out to do."
"Will you still come over and record and compose?" After a short pause, Jessica asked softly.
Zhao Yuanxi couldn't answer this question for sure, after all, he promised Li Mingxian not to get involved in entertainment, and sighed softly, "Maybe." β
With a light sigh, Zhao Yuanxi didn't speak again, Jessica held the phone and suddenly didn't know what to say, she has always been cold and indifferent and is not good at talking, and met Zhao Yuanxi on the plane because of his perseverance and constant search for topics. Sometimes she and Zhao Yuanxi feel very close, sometimes they are very far away and strange, just like the distance between them now, the two of them are silent. Jessica counted three breaths, said goodnight, and hung up silently.
Jessica held her mobile phone and flipped out the videos recorded for Zhao Yuanxi, and browsed them one by one before picking out the videos she was satisfied with and uploading them to the Internet. Jessica's chosen website is YTB, the world's largest video site, nicknamed "YouTube" in China, which first uploaded the final version of Zhao Yuanxi's nine-Chinese dialect remix, and then uploaded a separate English and Korean version. After thinking for a while, Jessica took out her mobile phone and uploaded the video to the five major music websites in China, Bugs, Naver, Daum, Cyworld, Soribada, and also uploaded the nine Chinese mixed versions, English versions and Korean versions.
The night in Seoul, South Korea is the early morning in New York, USA, Andreas wakes up from a deep sleep, as usual he habitually clicks on YTB to watch the latest video after washing, this is already a way of life he has developed, the mouse stays on a video, the video data is not large, and it is not clear, but the title is very attractive - nine Chinese mixed singing, you have definitely not heard the Divine Comedy. Andreas, a German-American student at New York University who is fluent in German, French and English, clicked on the video with curiosity.
A melodious and light piano sound accompanied by English singing like a spring bubbling and flowing, the voice is good, but there is nothing particularly outstanding, Andreas frowned, his thoughts just flashed, the lyrics were converted from English to French, very authentic French, the small tongue is extremely precise and clear, especially valuable is that the conversion from English to French is very smooth. Andreas began to look forward to it, secretly speculating about which languages the so-called nine Chinese languages were.
He was not disappointed, followed by the German language, Andreas perked up and couldn't help but exclaim, the singer is also very proficient in the German language, and has a very authentic Bavarian accent. Then there is Russian, Andreas knows a little, only some simple words and simple sentences, naturally not as proficient as the singer in the video. Andreas couldn't understand the latter languages, but roughly guessed Korean, Japanese, Spanish, and Chinese.
Andreas couldn't help but play it three times in a row, excitedly opened the mailbox and couldn't wait to send this video to his classmates and friends, and ended with a challenging question: How many Chinese can you understand?
Sharing the joy still can't calm his stirring heart, Andreas searched for the English version of the song called "In My Song", transcribed the lyrics, spent some time recording the score, took out his beloved guitar, and sang while playing, he also wanted to try the wonderful taste of multi-Chinese mixed singing like the singer in the video, he couldn't master all the nine Chinese languages, so try the German, French and English three languages he mastered.
The nine languages spoken by Zhao Yuanxi include more than 90 percent of the people on the planet, and to paraphrase a popular phrase, everyone on the earth knows it. Out of nine languages, there's always one you know. It is precisely because of the wide range of audiences covered that it has received great attention and popularity in a free and open online society.
Paris across the Atlantic, Buenos Aires in South America, Moscow in the Northern Hemisphere, Rome in the Mediterranean, and all over the world, hormone-filled young people are reveling in all kinds of imitations and innovative versions, and scenes are being played out everywhere around the world, just like what Andreas wrote in his email: How many of the nine languages can you understand?
The parody frenzy triggered by a song and a video has officially begun.
Zhao Yuanxi didn't know that his video was wildly admired on the video website dubbed "YouTube" in China, and it was just the crystallization of his accidental inspiration.
