Chapter 381: Cooperation (Part II)

Motown music is a commercial music that emerged in the 60s, with catchy melodies and fresh music, and the purpose of this kind of music is to be "pop" and make it more acceptable.

"You need to add the right pop elements." Jin Shengyuan said with a slight sigh, "Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be accepted by young people." ”

Kim Sung-won created "Tellme" because he summarized the essence of the songs of the 80s, and it was suddenly inspired by the dancepop of the mid-to-late 1980s.

Later, Park Jin-young's "Sohot" belonged to synthpop in the early 1980s.

Now this third part goes back to the 60s and 70s, and if you don't add appropriate current pop elements, I'm afraid it's easy to play with fire**.

Park Zhenying also understood this, crossed his hands and ten fingers, propped them on the table, raised his chin slightly, looked at Kim Sung-won and said, "What does Sung-won have any haode thoughts?" ”

At the beginning, the reason why he proposed to collaborate with Kim Sung-won was to prove that his strength was no worse than Kim Sung-won, Park Jin-young was not only stubborn, but also proud in his bones. This is probably a common problem of the president and a powerful musician, and the same is true of Kim Sung-won.

When Kim Sung-won saw Park Jin-young's habitual movements, he immediately understood his thoughts, smiled slightly, pushed his glasses, and said, "I made a guidesong, Brother Jin-young can listen to it." ”

After Jin Shengyuan finished speaking, he took out a USB flash drive from his pocket.

"Sure enough." Park Jin-young chuckled and nodded, plugged the USB flash drive into the computer, and clicked on the file.

A piece of music with a strong sense of rhythm sounded, Park Jin-young just listened to the beginning, and the slightly smug look calmed down, humming softly along with the melody.

"Very good," Park Jin-young said to Kim Sung-won with a thumbs up after hearing this, "That's how it feels." ”

"What about Brother Zhenying?" Jin Shengyuan asked with a smile.

Park Jin-young smiled slightly and found the guidesong he had made from the computer. Sure enough, both of them had the same idea.

Compared with Kim Sung-won's works, Park Jin-young's melody is closer to retro elements.

"Brother Zhenying's tunes are a little too retro," Jin Shengyuan said his thoughts after listening to it.

"Is it too much?" Park Jin-young was a little unimpressed, admitting that Kim Sung-won's music was indeed very good and in line with his philosophy, but he thought his own song would be better.

Retro music, of course, is to have more retro elements.

"It's too retro, I'm afraid it's hard to be accepted by young people." Kim Sung-won didn't care about Park Jin-young's look. Every musician will have a lot of confidence in their own work, and people who don't have this spirit can't become a top musician.

"No," Park Jin-young said, shaking her head, "Aren't 'Tellme' and 'Sohot' easily accepted by fans?" ”

"Otherwise, let's call Xianyi and them to come up and listen to it, and let them choose?" Kim Sung-won knew Park Jin-young's stubbornness. did not continue to argue with him, but handed over the power of choice to Min Xianyi and the others.

"Good!" Park Jin-young nodded without hesitation and added, "This method is good. ”

Min Xianyi, as his proud disciple, will naturally know his style, and he thinks that Jin Shengyuan is just a tactful admission of defeat.

Park Jin-young made a phone call, and soon Min Xianyi and the five came to the office together, and they were all practicing in the company.

"Hello, President", "Hello Shengyuan oppa." Min Xianyi and the five of them bowed to greet him.

"Hmm. Xianyi, come and listen to these two songs," Park Jin-young said straight to the point.

Min Xianyi sat side by side on the sofa and listened carefully.

The guidesong is just the main theme, so it's very short, and the two pieces add up to only five minutes.

"It's all good!" Min Xianyi immediately praised after listening to it, and his serious expression seemed to come from the bottom of his heart.

"Yes! It's all good. The four of Xuanmei nodded at the same time like chickens pecking rice, and echoed with a look of approval. As soon as they came in, they saw that Kim Sung-won and Park Jin-young seemed to be facing each other (mainly from Park Jin-young's habitual expressions), and they didn't know that these two pieces were their works. …,

The corners of Jin Shengyuan's mouth curled slightly. Five small slippery heads.

"One of these two tracks will be the title track for your next album. I have a disagreement with Shengyuan, so I'll leave it up to you to choose. Park Jinying saw that they were all very smart. simply said directly, "Careful selection is related to the results of your next album." ”

Min Xianyi and the five of them glanced at each other and discussed in a low voice.

None of them were surprised that Kim Sung-won was able to argue with Park Jin-young. Now Kim Sung-won is enough to rank in the top three, even if he is not the first Korean songwriter, and it is not surprising that he can argue with Park Jin-young.

Park Jin-young and Kim Sung-won did not urge them and waited quietly.

It took about ten minutes for the five to agree on the results.

"We think this song is better," Min Xianyi stood up as the captain and chosen, "and the other song is a little too retro, I'm afraid it will be difficult for young people to accept." ”

Kim Sung-won found out that Park Jin-young actually blushed.

Although Park Jin-young's face was dark, Kim Sung-won did see him blushing.

Pursing his lips, Jin Shengyuan tried his best to make an indifferent look, and on the side, Xuanmei and Zhaoxi had already bowed their heads and shrunk their necks like quails, and only Min Xianyi was pushed out of the top tank.

However, who made Min Xianyi the captain and Park Jinying's most proud female disciple! They can tell which song is Park Jin-young's work the first time they listen to it, but it is really difficult for them to accept such a retro tune.

"President, young people nowadays are very rebellious...... Min Xianyi organized his language, carefully explaining the reason for his choice.

"Okay, I see, you guys go 'practice'." Park Jin-young waved his hand and said. He blushed not only because of Min Xianyi's choice, but also because the reason given by his most proud female disciple was actually the same as Jin Shengyuan, so how could he have the face to be a teacher?

"Yes, President." Min Xianyi said at the same time.

Before leaving, Xuan Mei secretly stuck out her tongue at Kim Sung-won.

"Ahem! Shengyuan, let's use your song as the main body," Park Jinying coughed lightly and said after Min Xianyi and the five left.

"Hmm," Jin Shengyuan nodded slightly, not showing the slightest smugness.

The next step is to use Jin Shengyuan's songs as the main body, fuse the essence of the two songs together, and add the latest experience of the two of them, and then delete and condense them.

It's not a simple 1 plus 1, nor is it just a matter of piling up the essence of two pieces together, the two play the role of blacksmiths, and they need to eliminate impurities, pick out conflicting places, and truly merge the two pieces into one.

It was a long process, and they spent half the morning in the music room.

Park Jin-young will not underestimate Kim Sung-won because of his age, nor will he overestimate him because he has many classic works, and will always argue about the contradictions between the two.

That's why the two of them decided who would be the main subject. Where Yujian is really difficult to communicate, it will be mainly Jin Shengyuan for the time being, and there will be a second or even third refining after that!

"That's all for today, Shengyuan." It wasn't until around 12 noon that Park Jin-young got up and said to Kim Sung-won, "I still have work in the afternoon, and I'll continue tomorrow." ”

"Hmm," Kim Sung-won nodded knowing that Park Jin-young was busy with the upcoming debut of another boy group, 2pm.

"Let's go, let's go to dinner together." Park Jin-young said.

Naturally, the location is still a JYP company's restaurant.

At this time, many trainees of JYP Company were eating in the restaurant, and they hurriedly greeted Park Jin-young after seeing the two.

Kim Sung-won knew that Park Jin-young was afraid that he was intentionally doing so, after all, his fame was at his peak at the moment, and it was normal for Park Jin-young to use his fame to promote the company's artists. If this was not possible at all, Park Jin-young would not have become the president of JYP. …,

"Sheng Yuan, the 2am group we just launched is also taking the lyrical route, is there a suitable tune?" During the meal, Park Jin-young seemed to ask casually.

"Nope." Jin Shengyuan shook his head and said, "I've been too busy lately. ”

Park Jin-young nodded and asked no more.

2am's debut can almost be described as a "failure", and from July 11th to now, 2am's popularity has barely grown, let alone caused much repercussions.

The composers of JYP are not good at writing lyrical songs, and this shows the gap between JYP and S.M, which rarely collects songs from outside, and Park Jin-young has to ask Kim Sung-won about this.

However, Kim Sung-won's refusal was also expected by Park Jin-young, after all, he and himself are only in a cooperative relationship, and he himself is also taking a lyrical route.

Park Jin-young quickly turned the conversation back to the upcoming 2pm group.

For 2pm, Park Jin-young had much greater expectations than 2am, and the song "10 out of 10" composed by Kim Sung-won was carefully perfected by him and gave 2pm a song.

What's more, the members of 2PM have a good image, and the appearance of Nickkun, who is known as the "Prince of Thailand", is one of the best even in S.M.

Nickkun is one of the members of Park Jin-young's strong support, and Nickkun became one of the hosts before his debut in the variety show "Night Heart" rebroadcast after SBS TV's revision, which shows the energy Park Jin-young spends on him.

Kim Sung-won watched this episode, and although Nickkun's performance could only be said to be barely passing, just sitting there could attract the attention of many female audiences.

Artists with excellent looks will always have a certain advantage.
