Chapter 39: Disputes
Since entering the studio in the morning, Yu Yongzhen and Nie Zirun have devoted themselves to the production of "Maria" without sleep or food.
In the discussion of the production plan, the two had a relatively large disagreement.
Yu Yongzhen advocates using electronic dance music as the mainstay, supplemented by some more high-tech means such as gorgeous electronic music, to make this piece a gorgeous feast.
Nie Zirun, on the other hand, advocates a relatively fresh electronic genre, and the theme of the film itself is to actively strive for the spirit of xiangshang, so he insists on using the lead as the guitar SOLO, supplemented by electronic keyboard, bass and rhythmic drum beats. Make it a song that inspires passion.
When the argument between the two did not lead to any results, they had to make two versions of "Maria" with their own opinions, and the two still couldn't convince each other after listening to them, so they had to invite Li Xiuman to judge.
Li Xiuman, who was in the office, was also a little shocked after receiving a call from Yu Yongzhen, but he didn't expect the production of a movie theme song to cause such a violent musical collision between the two people, and he couldn't help but feel very curious, so he called Kim Yingmin, and both came to Yu Yongzhen's studio, and the actions of the two aroused the curiosity of many musicians in S.M, and they came one after another, and even Zheng Chunyuan and Jin Chaohan rushed to hear the news. Now even many trainees know that someone challenged Yu Yongzhen in song production.
The whole studio is packed, in the S.M company, there has never been anyone in the production of songs, challenging Yu Yongzhen, it can be said that Yu Yongzhen is the authority of S.M, I can't think of a stunned young man, today openly retorted, to challenge S.M's producer throne. In order to show fairness, without releasing the respective versions of Nie Zirun and Yu Yongzhen, everyone present listened to two different versions of "Maria" several times.
I have to say that this is indeed a rare good song, the two styles have their own merits, when they learned the origin of this song from Kim Yingmin's mouth, everyone looked at Nie Zirun with monster-like eyes, and Nie Zirun's hairs stood on end. What is it to write a song like this in one night? And it's also the most difficult OST type in the creation category, there are requirements and specifications, and it's definitely not free creation, and everyone here doesn't have such an ability to ask themselves.
As a result, the original dispute between the two people turned into a dispute between a group of people, including Yu Yongzhen, and many people supported Nie Zirun. Zuihou had no choice but to be called by Nie Zirun to Jin Yazhong and the director of "The Troubles of Beauty", and they were left to choose.
Jin Yazhong originally made an appointment with Nie Zirun to come to S.M Company in the evening to prepare for recording, but when he received a call from Nie Zirun in advance, and also asked to bring the director, Jin Yazhong was also a little puzzled. As a result, when Kim Ya-jung and the director rushed to S.M, both of them were shocked, and all the people in the studio were the best of S.M's music, and even in the whole of Korea, such a team is second to none.
After learning what happened, Jin Yazhong was a little crying and laughing, this Nie Zirun, she was getting more and more incomprehensible, she had already brought her enough surprise yesterday, and she couldn't imagine that such a big drama would be made today. The director of "The Troubles of Beauty" was smiling, and he couldn't imagine that the theme song of the movie had received the attention of the entire S.M company, which means that this song will definitely be popular.
Zuihou Li Xiuman can only decide that the two versions of Jin Yazhong will be recorded once each, and then the decision will be made!
Jin Yazhong quickly began to familiarize herself with the song, this "maria" made her like it more and more when she sang it, and her gratitude to Nie Zirun in her heart couldn't help but become more and more deep. Three hours later, Jin Yazhong simply recorded two versions of "Maria" for judging, and in the context of combining the plot of the movie, Nie Zirun's plan was finally adopted and recognized by everyone present, including Yu Yongzhen.
Yu Yongzhen couldn't help but sigh, it was really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, Nie Zirun's musical literacy and natural musical intuition were rare to see in ten years. Since then, Nie Zirun and Yu Yongzhen often discuss music production together, Nie Zirun is of course like a fish in water, crazy to absorb this knowledge, and Yu Yongzhen has also benefited a lot, often by some inspiration, the original somewhat dry musical intuition and inspiration, active again. The relationship between the two has also become very close.
After deciding on the production plan of the song, Nie Zirun, Yu Yongzhen, and Jin Yazhong recorded in the studio for a whole night, and Jin Yazhong finally saw Yu Yongzhen's strictness, and some small sections were constantly asked to do it again.
Regarding vocal music, Nie Zirun asked himself if he was a beginner, he hadn't learned his basic singing skills yet, and what he was talking about recording songs for others. So the three of them sang, one recorded, and the other studied on the side, the scene was quite harmonious, when Jin Yazhong was resting, it was when Nie Zirun humbly asked Yu Yongzhen for advice and learning, and Yu Yongzhen also admired Nie Zirun from the bottom of his heart, since "WaitforYou", he saw "Maria", and he knew everything about Nie Zirun's teaching, and he said everything.
Finally, when it was about to dawn, Yu Yongzhen finally gave a thumbs up and signaled that the recording was completed. The three of them also breathed a heavy sigh of relief, looked at each other and smiled with relief.
After the recording of "Maria" was completed, Jin Yazhong immediately returned to the crew with the song and started the reshooting of the theme song shots, as for Nie Zirun and Yu Yongzhen, after a busy all-nighter, they naturally went back to their respective homes and rested.
Just two days have passed, and today's morning arrangement for Nie Zirun is to go to Jin Chaohan for vocal lessons, since the production of "Maria", Zheng Chunyuan and Jin Chaohan also met Nie Zirun under the introduction of Jin Yingmin.
Originally, Jin Yingmin planned to choose one of the two of them to be Nie Zirun's vocal teacher, but after listening to Nie Zirun's "Maria", the two discussed and decided that Jin Chaohan would be responsible for Nie Zirun's vocal enlightenment, after all, among the two, Jin Chaohan is better at cultivating basic vocal skills, while Zheng Chunyuan is better at some difficult vocal skills. After laying a solid foundation for Nie Zirun, Zheng Chunyuan carefully carved this piece of jade.
As for Jin Yingmin, he was not idle, after finding a good vocal teacher for Nie Zirun, he immediately devoted himself to the contract legal matters of "Maria", after all, this time the matter was really tricky and special. Under the mediation of Jin Yingmin, he perfectly relieved Nie Zirun of some secret troubles.
And the film producer, because of gratitude to Nie Zirun for sending charcoal in the snow this time, avoided the loss caused by missing the movie release schedule, and took the initiative to increase the song cost of the theme song, and the original budget of 8 million also rose to 16 million, after all, this song is only expected to be popular, Nie Zirun is also unknown, and the extent to which Zuihou can go is still closely related to the box office of the movie itself. What's more, the cunning Kim Young-min in the contract for the theme song, detailed and tough restrictions on the use of "Maria", which is limited to the use of "Maria" during the movie release cycle, in other words, 16 million, in addition to the cost of the theme song, just bought the right to use the song for movie promotion, and if you want to use "Maria" in other aspects, it is a matter other than 16 million.
After Nie Zirun heard this, he was also amused in his heart, it is worthy of the style of S.M Company, he never softly starts when it is good, anyway, the beneficiary is himself, so naturally he has no opinion.
"Zirun, that's all for today's lesson! In the future, you must insist on opening your voice for half an hour every morning, and don't stop running and exercising, your lung capacity is the singer's engine, although your lung capacity is different from ordinary people, but no singer will think that your lung capacity is large! Jin Chaohan said with a smile on his face, he was also very satisfied with this newly accepted disciple, especially Nie Zirun's comprehension and learning ability, which belonged to a little bit of thoroughness, one learned quickly, and the other taught comfortably.
"Well, I know, Brother Chao Han, I still have to do dance training in the afternoon, so I'll leave first." After Nie Zirun finished speaking, he left Jin Chaohan's studio, and just halfway there, the phone rang
"Sister Sika, Sister Sika!" Yun'er rushed into the practice room with a shout, and shouted loudly to Zheng Xiuyan who was sitting in the corner, with excitement on her face, and after Yun'er's figure, a few more delicate girls followed one after another.
"The results of this test are out, and you are still in the selection process!" Looking at Sika's somewhat gloomy and worried look, Yuna couldn't wait to tell Jung so-yeon the good news.
Of course, Zheng Xiuyan's injury was not healed, and the doctor instructed her to do simple activities after a week. But today is the day when the results of the selection test are announced, and she can't bear the anxiety and panic in her heart at home, so Zuihou still came to the company on crutches.
Hearing Yuna's news, Jung so-yeon seemed to be a little incredulous, and then looked at Yoo-ri, Hyo-yeon, Seo-hyun, Taeyeon and others who were surrounded around.
"Sister Sika, Yun'er didn't talk nonsense this time!" Hyo-yeon was the first to affirm Yuna's news.
"Uh-huh! We've all seen it, and your name is still there! Yoori and Taeyeon also helped affirm.
It seemed that she couldn't accept the sudden good news, Zheng Xiuyan looked a little ignorant, and Zuihou looked at Xu Xian, who was the most well-behaved and the least lying, in a daze.
Xu Xian also nodded hurriedly and said, "Sister Sika, it's true, we are all still within the selection range!" ”
Seeing that Xu Xian also affirmed the good news, a big stone pressed by Zheng Xiuyan's heart was finally removed, a rare bright smile appeared on her face, and her eyes were a little moist, looking foggy. In my heart, I am constantly grateful for God's blessing, and I can continue to walk towards my dream.
"But this time it's really weird!" Yun'er frowned and thought about it: "Sister Sika didn't participate in the test, she didn't have anything at all, unlike the company's always selected style, there is not even a warning, it's too weird!" ”
When everyone heard Lin Yun'er's words, they all felt that there was some truth, and it seemed that this time it was indeed a little unconventional
