Chapter 1823: The Last Retro Style
PS: Thank you sxsd007 for your tip!
Taeyeon hummed the score and said with a smile, "This song seems to be very cheerful, and it should be very interesting to perform." ”
Cui Zhengyuan nodded, agreeing with her words. "That's right, this song is sweet retro."
"Oba? Isn't the retro style a bit outdated now? Hyomin asked with some concern.
The retro style was very popular last summer, and it really caused a lot of popularity. At the "Sunshine Sisters" and "Infinite Challenge" ballad festivals, Liu Zaishi and Li Di's "Apguting Gangsters 1991" are among the masterpieces.
However, time has passed, a year and a half have passed, and now if you are doing retro style again, it is no wonder that Hyomin has such worries.
This is also Cui Zhengyuan's helplessness.
It's not that he didn't know that in his previous life, T-ara was in the summer of 2011, with the retro style of "rolypoly", and won the first place on the music source annual chart.
But at that time, it happened to be the transition period of GirlsGeneration from the lady season to the beauty season, and there was no more suitable theme than "crycry" and "loveydovey".
It is also for this reason that "Rolypoly" has only been taken out by him today.
But aside from the timing factor, in terms of the quality of the song itself, "Rolypoly" is also a classic that cannot be missed.
Coupled with the unparalleled popularity and prestige of GirlsGeneration now, even if you miss the opportunity of retro fashion, you will still not let this song be buried.
"Oba, do you still teach us how to dance?" Hyuna asked expectantly.
Although every time they return, the dance is choreographed by Choi Jung-won. But it's been years since I taught them in person.
Even if Cui Zhengyuan scolded fiercely when he taught, the girls knew what they learned from him. It's something that other teachers can't teach.
Cui Zhengyuan thought about it and did not give a definite answer. "Look, if the tiger arranges the music fast enough, maybe I can teach you the dance myself. But if it's too late, I'll have to entrust someone else to get it. ”
With November just around the corner and a general election looming, nothing could be more important.
The girls' return is just to retain fans and prove that they are still an idol group. In any case, this cannot be compared with the presidential election, and Choi Jung-won can still distinguish which is more important.
The most important thing for him is the general election before the general election.
Basically every time the political forces are divided. It was all decided in these seemingly inconspicuous general elections.
This is because the results of universal suffrage determine the distribution of political forces in each region, which is of great benefit to controlling the situation in the whole country.
For example, although Park Geun-H was elected president, the deacon of Gangwon Province was a member of the MZ Party. When the central government's administrative order is issued, it is difficult to ensure that it will not be distorted.
This, coupled with the large number of local councillors, is likely to have a huge negative impact on the implementation of the ruling party's policies.
So when Park Geun-H has no time to take care of anything else, the people who are currently paying attention to universal suffrage are him and Zheng Mengz.
According to Choi Jung-won's current preparations. There should be no problem for the new GJ Party to win the general elections in Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, Jeonbuk, Jeonnam, Gangwon-do, Busan, and Incheon.
As for the remaining Daegu, Chungnam, Chungbuk and Gwangju, Gyeongnam, Gyeongbuk, Ulsan and other places, it will take some effort.
The only thing that made him happier was that he pulled Jeju Province over last month.
No way. Jeju Province's economic industry is tourism, which is supported by Chinese tourists.
Choi Jung-won, through his connections with China, had to give in if he put even a little pressure on Jeju Province. After all, political ideas are important. But politicians don't have to deal with money.
Listening to Cui Zhengyuan's words, the girls all rolled their eyes slyly. As for what he was thinking, he didn't see it. It's impossible to guess either.
But it didn't matter, within a week, he understood everything.
"What, the song is made? How can it be so fast? Cui Zhengyuan was inexplicably surprised, and he really couldn't think of why the Xinsha Cave Tiger, which has always been known for its laziness, would be so diligent.
The Xinshadong tiger on the other end of the phone was miserable, "My senior executive, don't you know, those aunts and grandmothers are almost holding knives on my neck, do I dare to be unhappy?" ”
"This ...... Well, I'll clean them up later. Really, you're also a producer, and they dare to be so rude. Cui Zhengyuan was powerless for a moment, and said insincere words of comfort.
GirlsGeneration is now in an extraordinary position, and it is not afraid of such characters as producers. So whatever they do, it's a matter of course.
In order to teach them a lesson at this time, it is really unreasonable.
The most important thing is that the executive lady is inside. The female power is monstrous, and it is impossible for Cui Dachang's majesty to rise by three points without hesitation.
The new sand cave tiger obviously knew this as well, and didn't take his words to heart. "Boss, my mission is done. For the sake of my lack of merit and hard work, I ask for your help with something, how about it? ”
"Brother Haoyang, why are you so polite?" Cui Zhengyuan's face was generous, but as soon as the words changed, he immediately added: "If there is anything, you can say it, as long as I can help, I will definitely help to the end." ”
There's room for it here, and if you can't help, you'll be embarrassed.
As for whether we can help, it depends on our executive Cui's mouth is crooked over there.
It's not the first day that the Xinsha Cave Tiger has dealt with these big guys, and they know what kind of virtue they are. Leaving half of everything is not full of words.
But think about your own affairs, with your own face, it shouldn't be enough for Cui Zhengyuan to refuse.
So he was relieved and stated his purpose. "Executive, as you know, I trained a girl group by myself and am about to make my debut. I wonder if I can ask the general manager to write a song and let them hype it up? ”
As soon as he heard that this was the case, Cui Zhengyuan was relieved.
The girl group in the hands of the Xinshadong Tiger, he knows and has seen it. Basically, they are all trainees of A.P company, but because the company has no debut plan for a girl group recently, their youth is going to be delayed.
The Xinsha Cave Tiger saw that their strength was good. It was pinched together, intending to be the first girl group he launched as a music producer.
Although the boss of this new girl group is the Tiger of Sinshadong, the ownership is A.P. Company.
After all, they are all trainees of A.P Company, and their future achievements are extraordinary, so Cui Zhengyuan naturally has no reason to push it out.
"Well, it's Xiyan's combination, right? Already ready? There's no problem with the songs, you can come and get them this weekend. Cui Zhengyuan agreed.
"Thank you, thank you, please rest assured, I promise to bring out a popular combination to the company." The tiger in the new sand cave smiled. One by one.
Cui Zhengyuan thought for a while and said: "By the way, I think the names of Hee-yeon, Suo-ji, and Hyo-jin are not easy to publicize, so I thought of a stage name for them." If you are wise, let's call it Solji. What about filial piety, it's LE. And Xiyan is called HANI, and this is what she will call her to the outside world in the future. ”
In the future, the EXID group, which became popular with "Up and Down" and stirred the hearts of countless men, the names of the members were determined in a few words from Cui Jung-won.
If it is known to the CEO of another company. He made a popular combination in just a few words, and he didn't know how much emotion to make.
After discussing with the Sinshadong Tigers, Choi Jung-won went directly to GirlsGeneration's practice room.
The girls seemed to know that he was going to come, so they were waiting for him in a neat group.
See him. Everyone laughed triumphantly.
Yun'er was the most frightened, came to his side in three steps and two jumps, and said with a smile: "Oba, our speed is fast, right?" Hurry up. Leave the dance to us. ”
Cui Zhengyuan nodded her head angrily, and then said to them together: "You guys, you guys, it's really good." Brother Hao Yang cried to me, saying that you are more ruthless than Grande. ”
"Eh, this is Tiger Oba, that's wrong. We are serious and responsible for our work, how can we be described as such? Sika ruffled her hair and raised her pretty face very arrogantly.
"Yay? I said Sika, you haven't been in politics either, how did you learn to play official? Did some banker teach you? Cui Zhengyuan teased.
Sika is thin-skinned, and she can't stand other people's jokes about her feelings. After a little face was flushed, he simply hid behind Juli neatly, and sued by the way. "Ernie, take care of your man, talk nonsense."
Juli smiled and helped her husband. "There are times when you say the right nonsense, at least I think Oba is right."
"Ernie ......" Sika stopped doing it and itched Curie unrelentingly.
The two beauties made a mess, and the fragrance loomed.
"Alright, well, you guys should be quiet. Since you want me to teach you how to dance, hurry up. And if you don't do it well, I'll curse people. Choi Jung-won stopped them and issued his own rules.
Everyone had long been familiar with his set, so after he finished speaking, eleven girls stood in front of him in two rows.
Cui Zhengyuan said with emotion: "Before learning dance, there is a sentence I want to say first. Maybe this is the last time the retro style will be presented to the audience, and this style of music may never be seen again. As you all know, since 2003, the retro style has not stopped. Your predecessor, WonderGirls, ascended to the throne of the national girl group with the retro trilogy. Last year, when retro style was at its most popular, you should have felt it too. However, any style of music will inevitably flourish and decline, and eventually be abandoned by the public because of boredom. You are GirlsGeneration, the best girl group in the history of Hallyu. So it's up to you to put a perfect end to this style of music. ”
He didn't have no purpose, but felt it.
The retro style has always existed in the development trajectory of K-pop music, and every once in a while people will be taken out to dress up and set off a trend.
But since 2011, this retro style has obviously blown to the extreme, and like electronic music, it is also disliked by music fans.
It was also from that time that Korean pop music gradually began to become unfamiliar.
That's when Korean pop musicians are experimenting with different styles of music and trying to localize them, so that it becomes a new trend.
It's a pity that in Cui Zhengyuan's opinion, these musicians' attempts are not successful. Because since "Gangnam Style", the kind of divine comedy that can be widely popular has disappeared from the Korean wave.
The Korean music scene seems to be full of flowers, with a variety of music such as blues, R&B, hip-hop, electronic garage music, and African indigenous style spreading, but the overall influence is obviously not comparable to before.
Therefore, this time "Rolypoly" should be regarded as a tribute to a dying genre. (To be continued......)
