S.M's recording studio was located at the end of the corridor on the fourth floor, three rooms away from the BOA-exclusive practice room used by Zhao Yuanxi at that time. Yu Yongzhen pushed open the glass door of the recording studio, and the recording studio was empty. The recording studio is very spacious, divided into several functional areas of different sizes, the largest in the central area is neatly placed many musical instruments, piano, drums, guitars, etc., Zhao Yuanxi can think of all the music, the left side of the central area is a semi-closed recording studio, through the glass partition can see that the recording studio space is very large. On the right is an entryway that obscures the view and makes it difficult to see the structure.

Yu Yongzhen walked straight to the workbench placed by the window and said, "Show me the score you wrote." ”

Zhao Yuanxi handed over his small notebook, Yu Yongzhen looked through the pages one by one, the handwriting on the notebook was a little sloppy, it can be seen that it was written quickly, there was no complete song, and some of the scores were just a short paragraph, with neither a prelude nor an ending. The score is written heavily in English and Chinese, occasionally mixed with some Korean and Japanese, and some languages that Yu Yongzhen does not understand, presumably some of the other nine Chinese languages used by Zhao Yuanxi. It's messy, so to speak, disorganized, but occasionally a small piece of track does catch the eye.

Yu Yongzhen closed the notebook and said, "When did you start learning composition?" ”

Zhao Yuanxi said with a little embarrassment: "It's just that I learned some basic knowledge when I was a child learning piano, and then it was abandoned." ”

"So you wrote all of this on your own?"

"Yes."

Yu Yongzhen clasped his hands to his chest, touched his chin and said in a deep voice: "If you want to become an excellent composer, you must have a strong background, I suggest that you study composition again systematically." ”

Zhao Yuanxi nodded and responded: "Please ask the director for advice." ”

Creation is not a matter of luck, sometimes it does need sudden inspiration, but more often it needs materials that have been accumulated over time. If Zhao Yuanxi wants to become famous, he can't just rely on the images and notes in his mind, which is too unreliable. And composition is only the first step, he also needs to learn arranging and production, integrating composition, arrangement and production is Zhao Yuanxi's goal, and Yu Yongzhen, the vocal director of S.M Company, is undoubtedly the best teacher he can find.

Yu Yongzhen doesn't mind passing on Zhao Yuanxi's own experience, one is that Zhao Yuanxi has signed a contract to join the company, and the addition of new energetic creators has a promoting effect on the entire production team.

Yu Yongzhen groaned slightly, sorted out his thoughts, and said: "Usually the way of composing music is nothing more than the following: one is to use chords to add passages to compose, this way of composition is to write harmonies first, and then add melody, the melody of this kind of music is relatively very harmonious with the chords of the accompaniment, and the harmonic direction of the melody is particularly obvious, but it is usually relatively short and rarely used. The second is to use the natural scales to compose, which is suitable for writing long and short melodies first and then harmonies, which is the most orthodox and basic way of composing, and there is no need to repeat it. The third is to compose music using a variety of characteristic scales, such as the commonly used color search scale, the harmonic minor scale, and the different modes of the Daphridian scale and the natural scale. The fourth is to compose music using the method of modulating the scale. ”

Zhao Yuanxi learned orthodox composition since he was a child, and what he learned was to have lyrics first and then use music, imitating the composition method of speaking high and low pronunciation, Yu Yongzhen did not mention. Zhao Yuanxi thought carefully and figured out the key, Korean has no tone, and Chinese has four tones of modulation, so there is a unique way to make the same melody according to the ups and downs of the speaking tone, and keep the two consistent. Just like Cai Qin's "Just Like Your Tenderness" and "Your Eyes", it sounds particularly comfortable because it conforms to people's pronunciation habits.

Zhao Yuanxi compared the differences in the composition methods of China and South Korea, and expressed the questions in his heart, and Yu Yongzhen answered them one by one. As a figure like the Korean musician Taishan Beidou, Yu Yongzhen's opinions are naturally unique, many of which are theories that Zhao Yuanxi has never heard of.

"Usually some melody repetition is used in the composition of the song, so that the song will be catchy when sung, and it is easy for people to remember the melody of the song at once, and many songs are often used in the chorus. Of course, the main song is also often used, either in part of the melody or in the whole phrase," Yu Yongjin emphasized, "The repetition of the melody is the essence of toxicity emphasized in Korean songs." ”

Zhao Yuanxi nodded and was taught, "Thank you Director Yu for your advice." ”

"That's all for the time being, we'll talk about it in detail when we have time later," Yu Yongzhen looked at his watch and smiled, "It's not too early, I still have a job, so I won't accompany you to visit the company." ”

When Yu Yongzhen returned to Li Xiuman's artist director's office, Li Xiuman was watching the video intently, which was "In My Song" uploaded by Zhao Yuanxi to YouTube in the nine Chinese dialects. As the world's largest record market, the United States has always been the focus of attention of Korean musicians, and almost all Korean entertainment companies will choose to promote in the United States, and YTB, the world's largest video website, is one of the important channels.

When Li Xiuman saw Yu Yongzhen, he paused the video and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Li Xiuman asked Yu Yongzhen to lead Zhao Yuanxi to visit the company, it was not really a simple visit to the company, otherwise he could not work with Yu Yongzhen if he found someone casually.

Yu Yongzhen said with a smile: "Zhao Yuanxi has basic composition knowledge, is very smart, learns inferences quickly, and often asks some fanciful questions, even I am deeply inspired." ”

Li Xiuman nodded, pointed to the monitor, and said with unconcealed excitement in his tone: "Fourteen million." In just three days, "In My Singing" has reached 14 million views on YTB. The top five music websites in China, Bugs, Naver, Daum, Cyworld, and Soribada are all ranked in one place. Again, there was no publicity. What is particularly valuable is that the mainstream media in the United States, such as the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, and the New York Times, have all reported on it, and even the mainstream French media "Le Figaro" and Agence France-Presse have also reported on it at great length. ”

The French mainstream media has always been committed to defending the purity, orthodoxy and influence of the French language, and the song performed by Zhao Yuanxi in the Chinese dialect is a good time to declare the French language to expand its influence, and the French mainstream media will naturally not let it go, and it is more actively reported than the American mainstream media.

"The general trend, the general trend that completely sweeps the world," Yu Yongzhen said excitedly, "We can rely on this strong limelight to make Zhao Yuanxi's SOLO debut and sweep the whole country, even if it is to enter Japan and the United States, it can also be on the agenda." ”

Li Xiuman nodded approvingly, tapped on the table, and said slowly: "What do you think if Zhao Yuanxi debuts in the group?" Just like BigBang's model, use Zhao Yuanxi's creativity to promote a group. ”

What S.M is best at is the assembly line to produce a variety of dazzling idol stars, which is also the magic weapon of S.M's success. Zhao Yuanxi is a strange commodity to live in, and Li Xiuman's priority is naturally how to maximize benefits.

Yu Yongzhen shook his head, "I understand your thoughts, there is almost no difference in the resources consumed to run a regiment and run a person, and letting Zhao Yuanxi debut in the form of a combination can indeed make up for his shortcomings, and at the same time launch more Idols, the problem is that we don't have a suitable candidate now, no candidate who can match Zhao Yuanxi, even if it is just a green leaf, there is no suitable candidate." ”

Yu Yongzhen emphasized: "Moreover, Zhao Yuanxi has the strength to make his SOLO debut, his voice is highly recognizable, his breath control is also very good, the mid-frequency vibrato is very distinctive, and he only needs a little training in singing skills to be able to go to the next level, and binding Zhao Yuanxi in the combination is a waste of his intelligence and the suppression of his character, I see the ambition in his eyes, this is not a young man who is willing to be mediocre." After BOA, we do need a SOLO male singer, especially Zhao Yuanxi, who has a high talent and is proficient in multiple languages, which is undoubtedly very helpful for us to further explore the Chinese market and the American market in the future. He can grow into a benchmark and totem for S.M. ”

"And the background behind him doesn't allow us to make any other choice." This is the key question, Yu Yongzhen said in one sentence.
