Chapter 483: The Choice of Songs

PS: xiexie's lonely concern, civet cat, 9z god of the gods' reward!

After careful consideration, Choi Jung-won finally decided that the mini-album would contain three songs.

Because it is sandwiched between Lee Seung Gi and Kim Jong Kook, the time is short, so if there are too many songs, some of the gains outweigh the losses.

Three songs of different styles are enough, and I believe that as long as the quality is excellent, it will definitely satisfy the fans' ears.

The first thing to consider is the title song, because what fans want is a traditional Kpop song, then of course it is the best electronic dance music.

In the history of K-pop music, there are few classic electronic dance music. Since 2003, there have also been countless songs that Cui Zhengyuan plagiarized.

Since it is necessary to show traditional Kpop songs, then dance is the most important thing. Especially since his debut, he has never fully demonstrated his dancing strength in his works.

Then a song with excellent dancing is preferred.

A total of two songs were selected and chosen, and finally entered his sight.

One of them is "Bad Man" by Rain, and the other is "She with Long Straight Hair" by TeenTop.

Rain's songs have always been excellent in both singing and dancing.

An important reason worth quoting is that he, like Choi Jung-won, is a solo singer.

In the dance version of "She with Long Straight Hair", the group dance is very distinctive. With Cui Zhengyuan's unparalleled dance strength, coupled with the backing of the dance troupe, I believe that the interpretation can be more perfect.

After Zuihou's difficult choice, he still chose "Bad Man".

"She with Long Straight Hair" is a bit cute little boy style, and it is really inappropriate for a top international superstar like him to sing such a song.

The second song is R&B.

Without any hesitation, Choi Jung-won chose Bobby Kim's "Dream".

It's a very ethereal song, with soothing tunes and sincere feelings. It is very suitable for Cui Zhengyuan to use his singing skills, and he will definitely be able to amaze the music scene.

Zuihou's style is hip-hop rap.

I pondered for a moment. He chose Bigbang's "Red Glow".

This song of the same name, adapted from the old-timer Li Wenshi, has achieved the same popularity as the original. It has also been selected as a textbook in Korea and has become a milestone in pop music.

The reason why Cui Zhengyuan did not choose the more famous "Lies" and "One Day at a Time" is to leave these two classics to the super boy group and Kwon Zhilong.

These two songs are of no use to him except to add a little bit of resume.

But if it is used on the super boy group and Quan Zhilong, it is definitely an explosive reaction.

With Cui Zhengyuan's character, of course, it is necessary to maximize interests.

The three songs on this mini album include three genres: electronic dance music, R&B, and hip-pop. Although the content is small, the quality is excellent.

The only trouble. is the song "Hongxia", which needs to be adapted by Li Wenshi to buy the copyright.

Because the other party is a senior, Cui Zhengyuan is not easy to take a shelf, so he went to visit in person.

Lee Wen-shi is old, he hasn't released an album for many years, and he is basically doing radio DJ and MC activities.

The old-timers were a little flattered by Choi Jung-won's personal visit and his proposal to buy the copyright.

I really didn't expect my clumsy work to be able to get into the eyes of international superstars.

Giving Choi Jung-won a song from many years ago to adapt it is also very good for his own fame. So Li Wenshi happily agreed at a very low price, and said that he was looking forward to Cui Zhengyuan's reinterpretation.

The preparations are done. JEA and Sinshadong Tiger were called to the studio. Also coming were Kwon Ji-ryong and his small soy sauce bottle Ahn Jae-seung.

The companions all went to study abroad, but Quan Zhilong, who stayed, didn't have any courses.

During this time, in addition to self-practice, I was immersed in the recording studio to create.

This time, I heard that Choi Jung-won asked him to help make the album, and the little guy Coke was broken.

No way. It's so boring to be alone. Ahn Jae-sung and his personalities are completely two extremes, if it weren't for homework, they really wouldn't be able to play together.

The demos of the three songs were released one after another, and the preferences of the three producers were also distinguished.

The new sand cave tigers are a staunch electronic dance music school. is full of praise for "Bad Man".

said that this song definitely has the strength to be as long as "Ten Minutes", and it should be operated as the title song of a regular album to reflect its value.

JEA, who is good at composing magic electronic songs, likes pure lyrical songs like "Dream".

In her words, only such music is pure music. Get rid of all magazines. Seduce people's ears with the most original sound.

Quan Zhilong, the little guy, can't put it down and listens to it more than ten times.

Although he listened to Choi Jung-won's advice, he is now dabbling in other music genres. But at the end of the day, hip-pop is what he loves.

What is especially rare is that "Hongxia" is an adaptation of an already classic song, and it can still have such a level.

This is far more of a test of a musician's skills than rewriting a song, at least the current Quan Zhilong does not have that ability.

Since the three of them divided the work themselves, Cui Zhengyuan simply handed over the post-production of the three songs to the three of them.

I made an appointment for the recording time, and I waited to arrange a time to record the song.

For this backup dance, Choi Jung-won does not plan to use people from the "Purity Alliance".

First, the scope of the contract does not include South Korea, and secondly, it is also to train your own company's team.

In addition, there is also a problem of adaptation for allowing European and American dancers to dance Kpop music and dance. It's better to build a team within the company.

When "Bad Man" was recorded, Choi Jung-won and the Sinshadong Tiger had a serious disagreement.

Because this little fat man adds a lot of variations and repeated melodies to the original. Although it makes the song a little more trendy, it discards the flavor of the original song.

Cui Zhengyuan didn't want to be too troublesome, and felt that it was okay to be the same as the original.

But Zuihou he was still persuaded by the new sand cave tiger and was ready to try something new.

Reborn to the present, the songs he has taken out are all classics that are plagiarized from his previous life.

As an excellent producer, he also has his own pride.

This is just to take advantage of the business opportunity as soon as possible. If he can show his talent to the fullest, he will not let it go.

So after the Sinsha Cave Tiger and his intensive discussion. The new version of "Bad Man" is already very different from the original song.

If it weren't for the main chord and lyrics, it would almost be a new song.

However, "Dream", which JEA is responsible for, basically follows his philosophy and adheres to the essence of the original work.

It can't be helped, that's what R&B songs are. There's really not a lot of room to change, otherwise it will immediately become unrecognizable.

"Hongxia" is even more so, after an adaptation, it has reached its limit. At this time, Quan Zhilong did not have the ability to play recklessly, so he had to follow Cui Zhengyuan's design of haode style to instill.

So three songs. The top number of "Bad Men" has the longest recording time. It took three days before Cui Zhengyuan walked out of the recording studio.

As for "Dream" and "Hongxia", it is over and over again.

Choi Jung-won's excellent singing skills and perfect interpretation stunned JEA and Kwon Ji-ryong, who were in charge of the producer.

Although I have long heard and seen the strength of this permanent pervert, this time it is even more shocking.

Speaking of which, the requirements for these two songs are not very high.

If it were to be replaced with songs like "Cup of Life" and "Itismylife", even if Choi Jung-won wrote and composed the music himself, he would not have walked out of the recording studio so easily.

On the day when the three songs were recorded, Han Sung-ho, Jung Jae-hyung, PSY, Kim Jong-kook, Lee Hyo-ri, SGWannaBe, WonderGirls, and so on. People who were not active gathered in the studio to enjoy Choi Jung-won's latest work together.

Although none of these people participated in the production of the album this time. But Choi Jung-won is undoubtedly the most important singer in A.P, not to mention his first Korean album. To say that it does not care. That's impossible.

Cui Zhengyuan didn't expect that these people would be killed together. At first, I thought something big had happened, and I almost called the police.

When I understood the situation, I couldn't help but cry and laugh.

It's just a temporary album. As for making everyone value it so much?

But since people are here, he is always difficult to pick people up. So at everyone's request, the three songs were played one after another.

Although it is already known. Standing production, must be a number of high-quality products. But every time I was inevitably shocked, and then I gave birth to a feeling of worship.

Smacking his lips, Han Cheng's pride was still unfinished. "Putting these three masterpieces together, it's really tyrannical. Zhengyuan, why don't you remake this Korean album, it's enough to leave one of them. The rest is left for later use, which is totally fine. ”

Jung Jae-type and PSY, who are also producers, agreed, and even JEA and Sinsadong Tigers were a little moved.

Choi Jung-won politely declined the offer. "No need, I'm sorry to keep fans waiting for so long. Although the three songs are good in their own way, they are also just used to show sincerity. What's more, this is my album, and quality and standard are the first priority. ”

Seeing that they couldn't convince him, everyone had to give up. Like he said, this is his album, and it's really bad for others to interject.

Lee Hyo-ri re-clicked on "Bad Man" and let the melody permeate the space. said with emotion: "It's good that it wasn't released at the same time as you, otherwise, I wouldn't know how I died." ”

Kim Jong Kook smiled and said: "If you want me to say, you should be most glad that Zhengyuan's album will be released next year, otherwise your big award this year will be in suspense." ”

When he said this, everyone laughed, even Lee Hyori was no exception.

With the quality of these three songs and Choi Jung-won's fame, it is not surprising how popular it is.

Maybe the "Ten Minutes" that swept in the first half of the year will be knocked out in front of it.

For this year's award, Lee Hyo-ri has great expectations.

Many people in the industry have spread it privately, and this year's four awards may be swept by her.

Looking at Lee Hyori's face full of hope, only Choi Jung-won secretly sighed.

In history, she really came close to achieving the feat of the Triple Crown.

It's a pity that Zuihou was hit on the waist by his friend Lee so-young, and he lost the MBC Song Award, and he was married to the triple crown winner.

Nowadays, the three major TV stations have become the four major TV stations, and the song award has also increased by one. That's not a little bit difficult, and he really doesn't have much hope for Lee Hyori.

Even, he doubted whether Kim Jong Kook could regain his glory. (To be continued......)
