Chapter 32 Looking for a Suitable Victim
Although Chen Chen lied to PD Kang about wanting multiple managers, it is true that Waiji Company is planning an album for Chen Chen.
The plan of Waiji Company is very clear. I will make an album for you, and then you will take resources from me to carry out a series of artist activities. In the end, everyone will share the money earned.
This goes on in an infinite loop until you can no longer leave the company.
Of course Chen Chen understands the meaning of the crooked chicken, but he can't help it.
That's a whole album. It was planned for you by Waiji, one of South Korea's three major entertainment companies. Can you refuse? Is this something you, a little chicken, can refuse? !
We will talk about the future later. It is impossible for Chen Chen to refuse the poisonous bait offered by the crooked chicken.
Also, the quality of the albums released by Waiji is quite good, and at least they have a good reputation among fans in the fan circle, so Chen Chen also wants an album by Waiji.
But Waiji had a condition that made Chen Chen very unhappy. They asked Chen Chen to produce another song and put it in the album.
The meaning of Waiji Company is very clear. I want to see if you have excellent production capabilities, and then adjust my attitude towards you in the future based on this.
Writing songs is not difficult, at least composing is not difficult. Judging from Chen Chen’s experience of working in a recording studio for so long, finding a few good songs is a piece of cake.
However, it is a bit difficult to find songs that are accepted by South Korea. The styles of the Chinese music market and the South Korean music market are still very different.
Chen Chen also remembers a lot of Korean songs that he has an impression of, but they are all just a few lines, a paragraph, or half a song, and there are almost no complete versions.
Because Chen Chen couldn’t understand Korean at that time, it was difficult to remember the whole song in his head even if he heard it.
What a headache.
However, despite the headache, Chen Chen still gained some benefits from the company. At least he can now use the recording and production studio as he likes.
......
"Oppa, why do you only write lyrics when you write a song?"
Park Caiying chewed the snacks in her mouth and looked at Chen in confusion. Chen operates like crazy.
"Because other things are already in my head, I just need to write the lyrics and taste them to see if they are suitable for publication in South Korea." Chen Chen raised his head and replied, unscrewing the bottle of mineral water and taking a sip. Then he put the bottle on the head of Jin Jixiu who was concentrating on playing the game. "Today's level hasn't come yet. Has the technology improved?"
"Isn't it great that it doesn't get stuck? I can't ask you to help me fight every time." Jin Jixiu took off the water bottle on his head and put it aside, raising his face curiously, "I haven't seen you play this game before. , why do you think you are familiar with it?"
"Just because you haven't seen it, it doesn't mean I haven't played it. I won't let you know everything." Chen Chen smiled, "You. Senior Chen also had a lot of game consoles at home before he fell into despair."
"Oh, so that's it." Jin Jixiu said with a look and did not continue to ask, "Senior's song writing. Are you ready? I see you are so confused all the time.”
“I’ve chosen it, oh no, I’ve written it.” Chen Chen almost let it slip and quickly changed his words, “When I write a song, I just need to decide on the theme. Yes, don’t worry about the speed.”
“But the production aspect is very troublesome. My own production level is too poor, and I have to ask others to modify it little by little according to my wishes. This will probably take a long time. A long time.”
Chen Chen added.
"When will Oppa's album be released? It sounds very far away." Park Chaeyoung didn't quite understand.
“It sounds far away, but in fact it’s not too far away. The company will definitely put my album release before IKON’s debut.” Chen Chen smiled and rubbed her head, “That is to say , you will definitely be able to see my album in July or August at the latest. After all, IKON will debut in September.”
“What does Oppa’s album have to do with the debut of a new boy group? ?" Park Caiying doesn't understand. "It is human nature to like comparison, especially among fans." Chen Chen explained: "So if I are allowed to come back before the new boy group debuts, the popularity of the new boy group will be even higher."
"I won't tell you the specific reason. It would be cruel for me to say it myself." Chen Chen pursed his lips.
"..."
After a few seconds of silence, Jin Jixiu whispered: "Are the company so sure that the new boy group will be stronger than you? What if they fall over?"
“Not to mention that it is difficult for a solo player to compete with a group, but the result can be obtained based on the identity alone.” Chen Chen laughed dumbly, “On one side, it is a group that the company focuses on cultivating, and on the other side, it is a group that has only recently been trained. There’s no need to say who the company believes is more likely to be the abandoned child.”
“Of course, the company’s opinion is the company’s opinion. There are still too many uncertainties in the entertainment industry. It’s all possible.”
"But you just wish me well." Chen Chen shook his head, "Don't think about the company overturning. If the company overturns, you two will be the most unlucky."
"Well, that's true." Jin Zhixiu patted her butt and stood. He got up and said, "We're going back to practice. Seniors, keep on working hard." Let’s try to produce some great work.”
“Okay, see you later.”
……
The song Chen Chen finally chose for himself is called “. "Young and Promising" is a song by a male singer with very distinctive eyes in China.
Chen Chen liked this song very much before, but he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to make this song his own. I just want to say that this world is wonderful.
However, Chen Chen will not start preparing to produce this song immediately. He wants to wait.
He knew that the memory in his head was incomplete, and he also knew that he had been exposed to many South Korean songs before.
So he was thinking that if a more powerful Korean song suddenly flashed in his head one day, Chen Chen would turn around and use that one.
It is too difficult to gain fame and status with music in other languages in South Korea, unless you are an American who speaks English, but Chen Chen is obviously not.
Really wait a little longer, this album is too important, and Chen Chen wants to do everything he can to make it better.
For this reason, Chen Chen also went through the list of the more famous male singers in South Korea, and sadly found that he only knew one PSY.
PSY Chen Chen is familiar with him. Chen Chen has heard several brainwashing songs. If he can get in touch with PSY himself, Chen Chen might be able to recall those songs!
After further checking PSY’s information, Chen Chen was pleasantly surprised to find that PSY was even his colleague and an artist under Waiji Company.
However, the song "Gangnam Style" that Chen Chen is familiar with is from 2012, and the second most familiar song "Gentleman" is from 2013. Chen Chen missed the best time for plagiarism.
"Can't you just release the song a few years later? Will it kill me if you let me use it?!"
Taking his anger out on others for no reason, Chen Chen yelled a few words with a bad attitude.
Then, he continues to look for a male singer that he has the opportunity to take advantage of. He must find such a person.
