Chapter 1271: Strong Heart (12)
PS: Thank you for the tip!
"Do you even scold us GirlsGeneration girls like that?" Jiang Hudong stared at the little eyes and asked in disbelief.
Not only him, but almost everyone raised their voices of doubt.
GirlsGeneration is now a national treasure group that has been welcomed by countless people wherever they go.
Especially at the end of last year, they swept the three most important awards, the Golden Disc Awards, the Seoul Music Awards, and the MKMF Awards, and established their unique status in one fell swoop.
"In normal times, the standing Oba is still very good. But as soon as he was in the studio, he completely changed. So the last few times we recorded the song, we all unanimously asked that the executive Oba not participate. So-yeon, as a spokesperson, told the actual situation.
"Executive, why do you like to scold so much?" Lee Seung-gi asked curiously.
It was the first time for Cui Zhengyuan to face everyone's accusations, and he was really a little panicked. Hurriedly sorted out his thoughts and explained slowly. "In my opinion, no matter what kind of work you do, you have to do it with all your strength to do it well. Usually after I make a recording plan, I give the singer three to five days, or even more than a week, to prepare. For such a long time, even the most stupid person should have prepared everything he had to prepare, right? But even so, when you get to the studio, you still make all kinds of low-level mistakes. It's tolerable once or twice, but if I keep making mistakes and making mistakes, my anger will not be suppressed. β
I don't know if I understood, anyway, Jiang Hudong nodded blankly. Suddenly, he turned back to the singers and asked, "The executive said that I gave you time to prepare, so why did I make a mistake when I recorded the song?" β
As soon as these words came out, it was as if everyone's doubts just now were shirking responsibility.
Everyone hurriedly denied the winning streak, saying that it was not the same thing.
Cai Donghe stood up this time. The situation was explained on behalf of all. "Brother, you haven't recorded a song, so you probably don't know. In fact, no matter how long the preparation time is, there will always be deviations between the singer and the producer due to the difference in the understanding and concept of the song. These are the main reasons for mistakes, not that we are not prepared, but that there is a certain deviation between the direction of preparation and the standing requirements. β
Choi Jung-won's voice interjected. "Since there is a cognitive bias, why don't you consult me? I have to wait until the time of recording to think about solving it, doesn't it affect efficiency and time? β
"Well, you're so busy, how can we bother you?" Kim Jong Kook spoke.
Cui Zhengyuan looked speechless. After a while, he said sharply: "There is no communication between the singer and the producer, how can it be possible to record a good song?" I've given you a few days to prepare, just to help you answer your questions. Even if you can't come, just give us a phone call and ask. β
"Is that okay?" It's funny, and all the singers asked such a sentence in unison.
It was so funny that the others experienced laughter again.
Jiang Hudong quickly sorted out the situation and found a very interesting thing. "Don't sue me, A.P has been established for so many years, and no one has ever communicated with the executive director before recording."
As a result, all the singers actually nodded. said that Jiang Hudong's guess was correct.
This time, Jiang Hudong really couldn't hold it back, lying on the host stage, laughing madly while crumpling the script in his hand.
βohmygodοΌ It's been almost a decade, and you really haven't tried it? Kim Yong-ho's eyes widened. An ugly face is even more difficult to look at. But his question left everyone speechless again, and they couldn't imagine the funny picture.
At this moment, dozens of well-known artists from A.P Company present collectively covered their foreheads. They didn't look like any people.
The awkward atmosphere lasted for a minute, and Jiang Hudong, who still remembered that the show had to be recorded, barely eased up. "Ahem, ahem, alright. Don't dwell on the past. Let's continue to record the show, there are still a lot of interesting topics to be discussed. But didn't you really communicate with each other beforehand? β
He endured it again and again, and finally he couldn't help it.
No way, a decade-long misunderstanding, or such a childish thing, is definitely a topic that should not be missed.
Everyone was going to follow his words to sort out their moods so that they could cope with the next topic. As a result, I didn't expect the last magical turn to come back around.
This blow was ruthless enough, which directly made all the singers turn their backs to the camera, leaving only their backs pumping.
The happy smiles of the rest of the others were constant, and the sound of fur-dog slaps was endless.
The topic started again, this time with Lee Seung Gi.
There's no way, as long as Jiang Hudong opens his mouth now, he always unconsciously wants to lead the topic to what happened just now, so that the show can't go on at all.
Lee Seung Gi is much better, at least he can calm down.
I saw him say calmly: "As far as I know, our A.P company is the first company in South Korea to recruit foreign trainees, I don't know who are the foreigners here?" β
Feng Xiaoyun, Han Geng, Ni Kun and Song Qian raised their hands to indicate their identities.
"When did all four of them come to Korea?" Lee Seung Gi continued to ask.
Feng Xiaoyun is the eldest brother, and he was the first to say: "In 2001, I was selected by the global audition as a trainee of TongguΓ² Company. β
Han Geng followed: "I'm the same, and Brother Yun is the same group." But because I'm a little younger, and I don't have any foundation in singing or anything, I ended up debuting with Dark.L. β
I heard that the two entered the company together, but the time of their debut was different. Jiang Hudong keenly found the problem and asked, "Then Han Geng, you are still working hard as a trainee, and Feng Xiaoyun has already made his debut early, aren't you very envious?" β
Han Geng shook his head and looked at Big Brother with some admiration. "In fact, when Brother Yun first debuted, it was very hard. At that time, Korean laws did not allow foreigners to engage in performing arts. So for nearly a year, Brother Yun couldn't perform on stage in South Korea. Even if you go up on the stage, you can only wear a mask. If it were me, I don't know if I would be able to make it. β
His voice was already low, telling the story of what happened to foreign entertainers back then, which was even more empathetic.
Feng Xiaoyun also lowered his head and wiped away his tears very carefully.
Who dreams of debuting as a singer, who doesn't want to stand on a brilliant stage and accept applause and worship in a beautiful way.
But these most basic treatments were so luxurious for Feng Xiaoyun back then.
There are five people in SGWannaBe, but there are only four faces. The rest of the one has only a sad mystery.
"Then what is the last way to get through, Feng Xiaoyun, you can finally stand on the stage openly?" Lee Seung-gi blinked his sour eyes and asked reluctantly.
Compared with the sympathy of others, Feng Xiaoyun seemed unusually calm.
Maybe he survived such a difficult time back then, and now he can laugh at the situation.
He naturally waved his hand and pointed at Cui Zhengyuan. "I have a good boss."
After everyone looked at Cui Zhengyuan, who was also listening, he slowly talked about the past. "When I heard that I couldn't perform on stage, I was really, really desperate. Since I can't be an artist, what's the point of me coming to Korea? As I stood under the stage and watched the members perform, I even thought I would just turn around and go back to China. β
Everyone nodded in agreement, indicating that they understood the feeling.
The turning point was here, and Feng Xiaoyun's voice was a little higher-pitched. "But just when I was sad and desperate, I got the news from my agent. It turned out that when he heard that I couldn't perform on stage, he smashed the table in anger. I didn't see the whole process, but I heard that I went to the hospital for treatment because of a broken wrist. β
"Wow.................."
Everyone looked at Cui Zhengyuan, who was always calm, and they couldn't imagine that a big man like him would think about a little singer under him.
Cui Zhengyuan's affection is not high, and he said slowly with memories. "At that time, I was really angry, and I really couldn't figure out why South Korea, which prides itself on being civilized and open, has such obviously discriminatory laws and regulations. In my opinion, our Hallyu needs to go out and let the world see its charm. But at the same time, we also need to bring in and know what people outside of our world are thinking? What should we do to truly form a perfect harmony and unity between our culture and the world? Hallyu behind closed doors is just a product of our blind arrogance. β
At this moment, everyone listened quietly as Choi Jung-won recounted his philosophy.
He is the leader of Korea's cultural and entertainment industry and the biggest pioneer of foreign countries, and such a person's ideas will surely have a profound impact on the entire industry.
At a time when everyone is treating the entertainment industry as an amateur pastime, people in the leading positions of this industry are thinking more about the stricter and more serious problems.
It can be said that Cui Zhengyuan's words allow more people to face up to this industry that cannot be ignored.
South Korea's cultural and entertainment industry has been able to move from complete backwardness to today's status, which is inseparable from the hard work of Choi Jung-won, Lee so-man, Lee Jae-hyun, Park Jin-young, Yang Hyun-suk, and Lee Ho-yeon.
It is precisely because of the hard work and thinking of countless entertainment people that Hallyu has finally been able to grow into an industrial element that cannot be ignored in a region with its barren soil.
Everyone was also very curious about the thoughts of industry leaders like Cui Zhengyuan, and they all listened attentively. (To be continued......)
