Chapter 150: I'm listening carefully
ββ¦β¦β
Ji Jingyuanton, who was listening carefully to the opinion, changed his eyes slightly after hearing Kim Eun-sook's words.
Although this sister said it very tactfully, and she smiled and lifted her glasses with a very kind look, but ...... Her meaning was obvious.
'I heard the prelude and felt a strong sense of anticipation'
'But when the voice came out, it felt a little inappropriate......
He only felt a clump in his throat, and he didn't know what to say.
All the vocals in this DEMO are sung by Chi Jingyuan himself...... The prelude raised the sense of expectation, and the voice didn't catch this expectation, which means that he didn't think his voice was good.
I have to say that this is actually quite shocking for Chi Jingyuan, who is very confident in his singing skills and voice.
However, after being speechless for a while, Chi Jingyuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and began to think.
When he wrote the song and sang it himself, he always felt a little strange, he always felt that something was missing, but he didn't have time to distinguish it carefully. Now when he heard Kim Eun-sook say this, he immediately reacted.
It seems that in many parts of this song, the feeling of being sung by a low male voice seems to be a little less flavorful, and if it is sung by a female voice, it should be better, and it can show the romantic and poignant feeling of winter in the song.
And it's best to have a female voice with a more ethereal voice, and then a lower pitch of the male voice, which can form a contrast and enrich the listening sense......
I just didn't think about this place before, but after being awakened by Kim Eun-sook, Ji Jingyuan, whose professional skills were still online, immediately had several ideas in his mind.
"Actually, I think there are some places where the main song, especially the female voice, may be more suitable."
Although he was evaluated as 'inappropriate', Chi Jingyuan was not dissatisfied, and after thinking about it, he nodded and admitted this statement, and then praised with a smile: "Nuna's feeling in this regard is really accurate, and it is not lost to professionals." β
"Hehe, I'm just talking about it casually."
Kim Eun-sook smiled, "This song is really good, and you can find the feeling of complementing the drama itself in many places, and you can tell that it is a song with a winter flavor when you listen to it...... Jing Yuan: Did you find inspiration from the script? β
"I re-read the script many times from a different perspective...... I have to say that Eun Shununa's script is really well written, and some details can produce a lot of substitution. β
Kim Eun-sook was obviously very satisfied and liked this OST, and discussed the source of inspiration with Ji Kyung-won with great interest, and after the two chatted, they naturally talked about the topic of OST singers.
"Does Nuna have any other thoughts on this song?"
"Of course, you decide the song production thing...... you decide it" Kim Eun-sook first said a big question, and then asked tentatively, "Who do you think is more suitable to sing this song?" β
"What do you think?"
"If it's a duet between men and women, it's certainly the most appropriate for publicity to have the male and female protagonists in the play participate...... What do you think of Suzy Xi? Didn't you two have a limited group before......"
Her words...... Hmmm......"
Nuna, you really pay attention to Kpop, even we have formed a group......
Hearing Pei Xiuzhi's name made Ji Jingyuan's expression suddenly become a little exciting, and he pondered for a long time, and tried to organize the wording: "She maybe, well, not very suitable......"
Although Pei Xiuzhi is an idol in the girl group, it stands to reason that it should be quite suitable for singing together...... But Chi Jingyuan, who has collaborated with her in "Some", has already experienced the strength of this woman in singing, and also has a certain understanding, this woman has a white voice and simple singing skills, and it is difficult to control some more complex songs.
Especially in singing, the emotional investment is even more speechless, and I feel stupid when I stand in front of the microphone, and the whole person has become a lot dull...... Chi Jingyuan felt that if this woman could put the agility of flirting in private on singing, there should be a qualitative change.
The ordeal of recording at that time is still vivid in retrospect.
It's so difficult for her to sing even "some", let alone this. "stay with me", he felt it was very difficult to sing this OST Chi Jingyuan when he recorded the demo.
Although these things can be solved by sound repair and post-production methods during recording, even if it is live, you can not turn on the microphone, but ...... She better study the script carefully and focus on acting, and stop getting involved in areas that she is not good at at all.
"Hehe, I'm just saying it casually."
Kim Eun-sook is also a human spirit, and she instantly saw Ji Jingyuan's embarrassment, she waved her hand with a smile, and stopped giving her opinions.
Then the sister took the initiative to have lunch nearby, and after chatting about the TV series and scripts, Ji Jingyuan said goodbye to her, got into the nanny car, and prepared to go to the location of the next trip.
In the back seat of the car, he remembered the conversation he had just had and fell into thought.
Although the production of "stay with me" will not start yet, because the TV series will only be released in December, and there will be a considerable period of time, but Kim Eun-sook said this, and after he reacted, Ji Kyung-won had already decided to change this OST to the form of a male and female chorus, so he couldn't help but start thinking about the object of cooperation.
Among his familiar friends or female idols, if it is from a professional point of view, Jung Eun-di, who has the style of the lead singer, Kim Taeyeon should be okay, these friends have also mentioned cooperation more or less before, and Sun Shengwan should be okay if he is closer.
But from an emotional point of view, he would rather sing with Bae Joo-hyun......
Although in terms of singing skills, the female parent is a little worse than those big lead singer friends, but her strength is actually quite OK, although all aspects are not very outstanding but they are above the average, in some vitality groups, they can actually compete for the position of the lead singer, and some difficulties can also be solved by professional means.
Even the young lady's voice is not ethereal, but ...... Those lead singer friends are also not of this type, so they can't be forced.
In terms of Chi Jingyuan's aesthetics, this song has a lot of chances to be popular, even if the quality of this song is not as an OST with the potential of a hit song like "Ghost", it will have the potential to be a hit just by releasing it as an ordinary song, let alone cooperate with the TV series.
So as far as the object of cooperation is concerned, he still hopes to find a ...... nearby Unless you are surrounded by familiar friends who are not very suitable.
If you really can't do it, you can find Yun'er's seniors.
The image of the senior scratching his ears and opening his throat in front of the microphone in the recording studio appeared in front of me, and it was interesting to think about it.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
When it was close to eleven o'clock in the evening, Chi Jingyuan returned to the company after a busy day, and just got off the car in the parking lot, there was already a shooting crew waiting for him, and as soon as he came, there was already a VJ carrying a camera to shoot at him, and there were writers and a few staff standing next to him, making the parking lot, which should have been a little deserted, look extremely lively at this time.
These are the filming crew of "Infinite Challenge", because of the absence of the morning shooting, they are all here to shoot his personal footage, and even if he is the only one, there may be a lot of weight that will be edited into the official broadcast...... Other members may have some complaints, but Chi Jingyuan's words made the program team feel that it was worth doing this, and they were willing to do it.
Because he communicated with the agent when he came back, Chi Jingyuan didn't feel nervous after seeing it, as soon as the car door opened, he had already entered the state of business work, first made an unexpected expression, and then looked at the camera following him while walking forward, and asked with concern: "Are you still working so late?" β
"It's all about waiting for you." The writer's voiceover sounds somewhat calm.
"Ah, is that so......"
Such a straightforward and untactful voiceover made Chi Jingyuan smile, and his smile became a little reluctant: "Hehe, it's really hard." β
How did the narration style of "Infinite Challenge" change, I remember that it wasn't like this last year......
After a little cold, after Ji Jingyuan walked to the elevator entrance, the voiceover next to him sounded again while waiting for the elevator: "After participating in the Song Festival last year, how does it feel to participate in the "No Pick" special again this year? β
"Last year's festival gave me a lot of good memories, it was a very deep and touching experience, and I am very excited to participate in the special "No Pick" this time."
Standing in front of the elevator, Chi Jingyuan thought about it and said sincerely with a reminiscent gaze.
Last year's song festival did give him a very good memory, and the song "House of Towers" also achieved very good results and won the love of many people...... It's not just fans.
"Then what do you think of Liu Zaishixi, the partner of this special...... This time, Yoo Jae-shi will join EXO to become the tenth person in the cooperation, and he also has his own superpowers. β
"Oh? I'm not in their progress actually so fast? β
When the elevator came, Chi Jingyuan walked in first, and at the same time, his tone became surprised: "What superpower did Brother Shi get?" β
When you join EXO, you get superpowers...... That's actually true, that's how it's set.
"What superpowers does Yuan Xi think Liu Zaishi will have?"
"His words ......"
Chi Jingyuan thought for a moment and said tentatively: "Transformation? β
"Why do you say that?"
"Because...... ......"
He opened his mouth and bared his lower teeth at the camera, imitating a wave of Liu Zaishi very vividly, although his front teeth were very neat and not prominent at all: "Brother Shi's appearance characteristics are quite obvious... I think his ability should be to transform into some kind of orc, grasshopper or something. β
"Haha......" VJ couldn't help laughing, the camera shook for a while, and then finally calmed down, forcibly restored the cold tone just now and said: "But his superpower is determined to be 'transparent'." β
"Transparent ......"
Repeating this ability in his mouth, after a little silence for two seconds, Chi Jingyuan nodded seriously: "This ability... It's also quite suitable for Brother Shi. β
Saying that, he looked at the camera with a look of admiration: "Not to mention, his characteristics are quite open-minded." β
"Haha...... So what does Yuan Xi think about the new members of this group? β
"Well, that's good."
"Why don't you seem to be happy with the way you look?"
"Not particularly dissatisfied...... Because I participated in the Song Festival last year and cooperated with "No Pick", I was a partner at the time, but this year I changed to Brother Shi, and in comparison, I feel a little behind. β
"What's the gap...... So which MC does Yuan xi want to work with? Jung Hyung-don Xi? β
"Why do you say that?"
When the elevator on the floor opened, Chi Jingyuan walked out and looked back at VJ in surprise, as if he didn't understand why he said his name, and then said with a natural face:
"IU, of course!"
β¦β¦
"At the beginning, the arms are parallel upwards, which is about this distance, one, two......"
In EXO's practice room, Ji Jingyuan was learning the dance in the cooperation area with the dance teacher alone, the smile on his face had faded, his expression became very serious, he watched the teacher's movements with bated breath, and his body began to make various dance moves with him.
He lifted his arm and motioned it back and forth parallel to his shoulder.
"Percussion, a little more rhythmic."
Shake your elbows lightly and make a tapping gesture.
"Leave your left foot on the ground and move in position."
In front of the mirror, Chi Jingyuan raised his feet and stepped hard, and the latter moved to the left side of the midline.
"Very well, go on."
The repertoire of this collaboration with Liu Zaishi is "Dancing King", which is a dance song with samba style created by a well-known composer team cooperated by the company.
This song has actually been determined and written a long time ago, and Chi Jingyuan has heard it a few months ago, and overall the level of the song is still very high, the melody is catchy, and the overall sense of rhythm is also very strong, and it makes people want to dance when they listen to it, it is a very good dance music.
At the same time, in order to take care of Liu Zaishi, an older middle-aged man, the choreography of this song is also made a lot simpler, most of them are just very basic movements, and there are no difficult movements and movements.
β¦β¦ If you change to a very difficult dance like "monster" or "Fire", even if Liu Zaishi really focuses on taking time to practice for half a month, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get on the official stage in September, and even his old arms and legs are estimated to be very likely to be injured when practicing.
However, although the movements are a little simple, they are far from the level of broadcast gymnastics, and with the efforts of the professional choreographer, the overall choreography is very coherent and sence.
It was already late at night, but Chi Jingyuan didn't care at all, he was completely engaged in the study of dance, standing alone in the spacious practice room, the wooden floor under his feet was painted with various lines to help confirm the movement and standing, but at this time he was the only figure that seemed a little empty.
One by one, learning little by little, his movements were extremely rusty from the beginning, and after a while, they became decent at a speed visible to the naked eye.
And the voiceover did not speak again during the whole process, but used the lens to faithfully record the process of his rapid mastery, the whole shooting process in the middle seemed a little serious, and the change in atmosphere was impressive, especially the witty and relaxed chat in the elevator just now, and the seriousness and concentration in the current working state formed a sharp contrast.
And the music of "Dancing King" keeps reverberating in it:
βA-ya-yaβ
βDance all night~β
