930 is indeed a song that has been dragging on for a long time
"OPPA, this is a good topic, but neither of us is obviously inspired, are you sure you can do it?"
"Okay...... Didn't you write it? β
At noon the next day, in the cubicle of the cafΓ©, after eating the takeout lunch that Kim Jae-yi helped order, the two of them sat there and chatted while eating.
As the second day of Xiaobie's reunion, the two of them were much more restrained last night, so they got up early today, stayed in the cafΓ© all morning, and were very serious about implementing the plan before going to bed last night.
Write songs.
It's just that there has been no progress until now.
"No, I mean we got something wrong......
ββ¦β¦ What the? β
"We weren't going to open a store in the first place, so it's normal for you to write a song that feels like this and can't find your way......"
"So what do you mean? We were ...... Going on a trip? β
"Nonsense!" Kim Taeyeon glanced at William Wang, "It's just because I'm afraid that the two of us will stay in the hotel and not go out when we go on a trip, so I plan to travel in this way...... OPPA, don't forget your original intention! β
"So let's change the theme back to travel?" William Wang touched his chin, turned off the blank document on the computer that had not written any words, and then reopened it.
"Travel should be much easier to write, right?" Kim Taeyeon nodded, "A lively and brisk song should be very suitable for theme songs and interludes, I'm good at this." β
"Well, Queen Nim, I see." William Wang smiled and shook his head.
Then, I typed it on the keyboard.
"I actually remembered another thing when I was just eating." Seeing that her boyfriend seemed to have a little inspiration there, and she didn't have any ideas at all, Kim Taeyeon continued: "OPPA, the song you wrote for me earlier to give you the universe was used as the theme song in the first season of Taegu TV, and the song hasn't been released yet. β
"Then I can't help it, director, find your company to send it to you." Wang William smiled and complained about Kim Taeyeon.
"Ah, that's what I said! It's just that I feel a little unhappy when I see OPPA, you obviously wrote a song about the story of the two of us, but you still have to sing it to others for various reasons......" Kim Tae-yeon pouted.
"And what do you mean?" William Wang put down the work in his hand.
Actually, he wasn't particularly inspired.
Kim Taeyeon doesn't like this kind of thing, and he has little interest. The reason why the two of them chose to travel together was not to see anything outside, but simply because they didn't want to stay on the peninsula.
There seems to be a better word to describe than to travel, escape.
This kind of song is not very easy to write......
"I'm just saying, nothing else." Kim Taeyeon waved her hand.
"Then you go and talk to the people in your company and help you send out this song, and then this song will be used as the theme song of your Taigu TV in the future." William Wang proposed with a smile. "I just used the income from that song to hire someone to edit it for you, perfect."
"The company won't help me send ......"
"Why not?" William Wang's face was incomprehensible, "They don't need to write songs, they don't need to record them, and you can make money by distributing the finished product directly, why don't you make money?" β
"The company will consider many things! It's not like whoever has a song to send it to whomever ......"
"You're really ......," William Wang shook his head a little speechlessly.
"And I said that Yun'er is going to post solo soon, it's not appropriate for me to sing at this time." Kim Taeyeon continued to shake her head, "Forget it, right?" β
"You just send a song from the source of the sound, don't send the entity and don't play the song, just treat it as an OST singing, and it won't affect Yun'er's solo at all!"
ββ¦β¦ If you don't believe me, call my agent and ask. β
Kim Taeyeon saw that William Wang didn't believe it, so she picked up her mobile phone directly and dialed the agent.
To put it simply, if you want to release a song, you don't need to release a physical album, you don't need to arrange a singing stage, you just need to take the sound source......
Sure enough, it was rejected.
The agent directly told Kim Taeyeon that the company has a plan for the release of their songs, whether they plan to play songs or not, they must be carried out in the company's plan, so that Kim Taeyeon should not be in a hurry, she should send it, and the company will definitely send it, so that she can rest assured......
Anyway, it's just a lot of empty clichΓ©s, in short, don't send it.
"Look, what am I talking about?" Kim Taeyeon hung up the phone a little unpleasantly, and then said to William Wang, who looked embarrassed next to him.
"Your company too...... Is it like this for all big companies? YG is said to have songs that don't even give out. William Wang tried to defuse the awkward atmosphere.
"I think it's because it's not enough to make money." Kim Taeyeon shook her head, "If you are like OPPA, you can sell an album for 10 or 20 million without mobilizing fans to buy it, and the company will not send me ......"
ββ¦β¦ When will I sell one or two million casually, even if you are my girlfriend, don't so much, I will be proud. William Wang shook his head with a smile, "Otherwise, you can't send it, I'll send it?" Anyway, there's nothing wrong with your video using my song as the theme song. β
"You? Forget it, what a good song, let OPPA you sing it, but it's going to ruin it......"
ββ¦β¦ So! Do you think these are useful! William Wang sighed, "Write a new song honestly, I think I will go to the company to find IU or Hyomin or Hyuna to sing, release it to earn some royalties and then fill the gap of finding someone to help you edit the video." β
"How do you feel that this cycle will be long......"
"It doesn't matter! Anyway, there is still so much money on the co-branded card of the two of us, and your parents didn't spend a fraction of two laps on overseas trips this year, what are you afraid of! William Wang smiled and said, "Spend it first, and then fill in the blanks." β
"I still think it's better to dedicate the money." Kim Taeyeon shook her head.
ββ¦β¦ Then I'm really out of options. William Wang spread his hands, "Could it be that I will ask you to sing, and then go through our company's distribution line in my name?" β
"This ...... Seems to be okay. Kim Taeyeon touched her chin and nodded, "yes, isn't that what TroubleMaker did in the first place?" Huh! It seems to be really possible! β
ββ¦β¦ What works? Record a song in my name, and then you come and give me feat? William Wang smiled, "You sing me Rap?" That song is basically all about whether it is good or not! β
"But feat doesn't charge money! As long as we don't collect money, our company can't control whether I want to go to FEAT or not, and naturally we don't need the company's permission. Kim Tae-yeon found a way to circumvent the company's supervision, "This can be!" β
ββ¦β¦ Don't give you money? Then you didn't sing in vain? β
"Oh, it doesn't matter, OPPA, it's not the same thing for you to earn me! Besides, this song was originally written to me by OPPA, and it's good to hang it under your name on OPPA! That's it. Kim Tae-yeon picked up her phone again.
Another call hit the agent's phone.
This time, I didn't say anything about sending songs, just said that William Wang wanted to record a song and let him do feat for him.
Because FEAT doesn't charge money, it doesn't have to be allowed by the company, so she just reports.
When Kim Taeyeon finished speaking, the agent on the other end of the phone didn't say anything for more than 20 seconds.
After a while, I said that if Kim Taeyeon really wants to release a song so much, then post it, but Lim Yoona may have emotions about her sister wanting to conflict with her own song.
Kim Taeyeon said that I will balance the feelings between our sisters, so you don't have to worry.
The phone hung up again.
"You guys are really angry compared to the last one!" Looking at Kim Tae-yeon's tough look in front of the agent, Wang William smiled.
"The previous agent brought us from the beginning of our debut, and it became a habit to always put up a fight in front of us, and we were used to listening to him, and as a result, there was a matter between me and Sika before...... Well, we decided not to give him a chance. Kim Taeyeon waved her hand, "Then how do you do it?" IS THE DEMO I I RECORDED STILL THERE? β
"Of course! But that demo is sung by yourself, including the rap part......"
"Then OPPA, you can read that rap! Not a few words. Kim Taeyeon stood up from the sofa with a smile, "Let's go, go home, record!" β
"The succubus is recording its ASMR at home, so don't go back and grab its recording room." William Wang shook his head.
ββ¦β¦ Still recorded? Didn't it record yesterday? β
"How can it be so fast! And it plans to record more than a dozen issues, save some manuscripts, and it is estimated that it will be able to toss until October. William Wang said with a smile. Tomorrow I will go to our company to record it, and by the way, I can arrange for the company's people to walk the domestic distribution line. β
"Tomorrow?"
"yes, what, it has to be today? In such a hurry? β
"Wouldn't it be nice to finish it sooner?" Kim Taeyeon glanced at William Wang. "Let's go, it's over now, and Xuanling is not far away."
"You want to come along?"
"There's nothing to do here." Kim Taeyeon glanced at the cubicle, "It's not like I haven't been to your company, let's go, today's matter will be done today." β
ββ¦β¦ Let's go! William Wang sighed softly, shook his head with a smile, closed the laptop, and then stood up as well.
β¦β¦
It was indeed not far from Yaguting to Xuanling, and it was only forty minutes later for Wang William and Kim Taeyeon to leave the cafΓ© and return to the underground garage of their home and then drive to the company.
parked the car in the parking space, greeted the reception in a daze at the front desk very casually, and then took Kim Tae-yeon with her sincere bow and greeting, and William Wang came to the recording studio located on the basement floor.
As soon as he opened the door, William Wang was stunned for a moment.
There are quite a lot of people in there......
"Huh! Uncle! What are you doing here! β
A tall girl looked at William Wang with a surprised expression.
ββ¦β¦ Aren't you in the United States? When did you come back? β
William Wang also looked at Zhou Jieqiong in front of him with a look of surprise.
There are also Lin Nalian, Kim Shizheng and Zheng Caiyan on the side.
It's just that the other girls are looking at the things in their hands, and they don't mind William Wang walking into the recording studio at all.
LOONA: IS THIS A RETURN TO CHINA?
"Yesterday! Yes! Taeyeon seniors! What are you doing here! β
Zhou Jieqiong, who finished greeting William Wang with a confused face, noticed Kim Taeyeon who was following behind William Wang.
Hearing Zhou Jieqiong's words, the other girls next to her, who were just busy with their own things and didn't plan to greet William Wang, shifted their attention to William Wang.
Hurriedly stood up and saluted William Wang and Kim Taeyeon.
"You're recording?" Kim Taeyeon smiled and waved her hand at a few junior girls.
"This ......" Lin Nalian came to the front and pulled Zhou Jieqiong behind her.
Captain! If it was for William Wang, it would be no problem for Zhou Jieqiong to speak on behalf of them in front, but Kim Taeyeon ......
She still had to stand up.
But she still glanced at William Wang.
What does that mean, can we say? Oh......
"It looks like it." William Wang smiled and glanced at the paper that several girls put on the table, which should be the lyrics.
"Or else...... Never mind? Kim Taeyeon glanced at William Wang.
"It doesn't matter, I won't be able to take long." William Wang shook his head and glanced inside the mixer and recording booth.
It's all empty.
Obviously, these girls are still preparing for the recording, and they haven't officially started yet.
"But ......" Kim Taeyeon looked at a few girls who were looking at her a little embarrassed, and she was also a little embarrassed.
Even she was more embarrassed than Zhou Jieqiong and the others.
"Let's do it quickly!" William Wang shook his head, "Can you help me control it?" β
ββ¦β¦ Yes. Kim Taeyeon nodded, then smiled at Lin Nalian, "I'm sorry, we're ...... here."
"Oh! Seniors, please! Lin Nalian hurriedly made a gesture of please.
William Wang nodded, took out the mobile phone, connected it to the computer, uploaded the DEMO that had been recorded a long time ago that had been placed in it, imported it into the music production software, and then walked into the recording compartment himself.
Kim Tae-yeon sat on a chair in front of the mixer.
"OPPA, don't you want to lower your voice?" After pressing the headphones to his ears and adjusting the track to the part of the rap that needs to be recorded, Kim Tae-yeon asked William Wang, who had already put on the headphones in the recording booth and stood in front of the microphone to prepare.
"What's there to open your voice." William Wang smiled into the microphone and said, "Let's start." β
"Do you want to confirm the lyrics?"
"What do you say I wrote?"
"Come on, then." Kim Taeyeon nodded, her finger tapping on the mouse.
A very simple rap.
In fact, when William Wang wrote this song, this rap was still very difficult, the rhythm was very broken and chaotic, and it had a hip-hop feeling, but when I recorded the demo before, I asked Kim Taeyeon to sing it, and William Wang lowered the difficulty.
But now William Wang wants to sing it himself, if he still records according to this "simplified version", William Wang himself feels a little ashamed: Kim Taeyeon is here to give himself Feat, and Rap is so simple, so isn't there only Kim Taeyeon left singing?
Therefore, although the accompanying tune is a simplified version of Kim Taeyeon's previous adjustment, Wang William's own rap is the original rap that Wang William sang to Kim Taeyeon for the first time a long time ago under the starry sky next to the sorghum field on Jeju Island.
It sounds a little out of place with the accompaniment.
Therefore, after listening to the results of his recording, William Wang directly said that it should be okay, and when he walked out of the recording compartment, all the other people in the entire recording studio had strange expressions.
As long as anyone who knows a little bit of music can hear it, William Wang's singing method is problematic......
But it doesn't matter, anyway, it's just to readjust the arrangement, and it's not difficult for William Wang.
didn't care about Lin Nalian muttering something like "OPPA, this is not a joke", squeezed Kim Taeyeon, who was sitting in front of the mixer with just a few clicks of the mouse, and William Wang re-adjusted the arrangement back to the way he remembered it at the earliest.
Instantly, that rap sounded normal.
The finished song was played twice in the recording room, and Kim Taeyeon also walked into the recording booth again, re-sang a few paragraphs, and corrected a few words that sounded slightly strange after the change in the atmosphere of the whole song due to William Wang's rap adjustment, and the song was completed in less than half an hour.
"So this song is going to trouble the teacher, you can arrange for someone to release it?"
After listening to the finished product for the last time, William Wang said to Kim Hyung-seok, who had just walked in when he was tossing and recording here.
APPARENTLY HE WAS GOING TO RECORD FOR THE CHILDREN OF LOONA HERE.
"The quality of this song is pretty good." Kim Hyung-seok said to William Wang.
There was no refusal.
"It's not possible to sing it to them, right?" William Wang glanced at the recording of himself and Kim Taeyeon's skillful cooperation on the side, and there were indescribably strange girls in their expressions.
"How is it issued? Do you want to shoot a music video? Kim Hyung-seok smiled.
Indeed, although this song seems to be sung by Shizheng and Yinhe, let them sing it with William Wang......
I always feel that something is a little weird.
"It's good to have a pure sound source, you don't need to publicize it, just send it out as soon as possible."
"As soon as possible? How fast? β
"Tonight can be done tonight."
ββ¦β¦ Are you in such a hurry? Kim Hyung-seok was a little speechless.
"This song has been dragging on for two years, let's send it." William Wang nodded.
"Two years ......" Kim Hyung-seok was stunned for a moment, smiled and shook his head, "You really don't need to promote it on the company's distribution side?" β
"No, you don't." William Wang shook his head, "You guys are busy, I'm leaving." β
ββ¦β¦ Don't you look at the kids recordings? β
"It's not a song I wrote, didn't I make one for them before? The results of that beautiful_no are still good, very good! William Wang smiled and shook his head, "I haven't even asked, why are they coming back again?" β
"That English song is basically not active in China, although because the quality of the song is okay, there is still some influence in China, but ...... Well, it's still going to be a return circle in the country. Kim Hyung-seok nodded, "Do you have any new songs there?" Sing it to the kids? β
"I was going to write it today, but I didn't write it."
ββ¦β¦ Write now? That's still it. Kim Hyung-seok smiled and shook his head, "Then you can get busy, I'm going to work on this side." β
"Hmm." William Wang nodded with a smile, and then glanced at the children of LOONA who had already gathered people, "Come on!" β
"Walk slowly!" Lin Nalian once again took her teammates to express her stance with William Wang.
ββ¦β¦ By the way, Jieqiong, you come out with me. William Wang was about to go out, but suddenly remembered something and patted Zhou Jieqiong's shoulder, who was hiding behind Lin Nalian.
"Huh? Oh......"
Zhou Jieqiong glanced at her teammates and sisters, nodded, and followed William Wang out of the recording studio.
