Chapter 169 Legend in the Industry
(I was really drunk. The starting point tricked me. There were two chapters with the same name in a row. I didn’t know what was going on. The content of the next chapter has been changed. Don’t worry if you see two chapters with the same name. It’s pretty good. Yu Lian will update it twice. I will refresh it if I have already read it. I apologize for the inconsistency caused to everyone)
When encountering a good song, it is definitely not just the singer who is excited. At least the composer in front of Li Menglong is already twitching with excitement. He is thinking maliciously that if he is told to pay half the money now, the other party will probably would agree.
In fact, Li Menglong has always had a good learning ability. From the beginning of his creative variety show in Invincible Youth, to later doing odd jobs in Seohyun's movies, to helping Luo Yingshi in post-editing a few days ago.
However, if they are roughly classified, one thing that all those jobs have in common is that the threshold is low. An ordinary person can tell one, two or three at a glance in the past, but it is much more difficult to master it.
As for music, Li Menglong dare not say what it feels like to be proficient. Anyway, it has a threshold, which is not generally high.
He didn't understand many things that Li Soonkyu discussed with the composer. For example, the background music added a little bit of so-called fashion elements. Li Menglong was confused. What fashion elements can be added to the song to describe it?
In fact, it is the latest popular things, such as whistles, drum beats, narration in the middle, etc., but Li Menglong does not understand it. As for the later singing, Li Menglong will vomit blood.
They really clicked on each word, but both of them were very eloquent, insisting on their own positions, and to Li Menglong's ears, they all sounded the same. When discussing one of the words, it seems that he really has no love for music anymore.
In the end, Li Menglong simply hid out, coming in from time to time to bring water, towels, etc., and became the logistics manager. But looking at Li Soonkyu's taut cheeks, someone who can do one thing seriously and wholeheartedly, or There will be some satisfaction in feeling more or less.
"Let's eat first. Work is work, don't delay your rest!" Li Menglong successfully interrupted the argument between the two. After calming down, the two of them were a little embarrassed. It was their first time to meet each other.
At this time, Li Shunkyu's advantage as a little girl came to the fore, and he apologized tenderly to the uncle: "I know that you are doing it for my own good, teacher. I will listen to your opinions carefully. Please help me!"
After talking a lot of nonsense, what does it mean to listen? It's not like you follow the instructions. According to Li Menglong's understanding, you say what you say and I do mine. It's more simple and rough, but there is still noisy in the afternoon.
But fortunately it’s quiet now. Koreans all eat Jajangmyeon when they buy it from nearby. Firstly, there are many stores, secondly it’s cheap, and lastly, it’s suitable for all ages. I’ve never heard of anyone not eating Jajangmyeon.
Li Menglong took advantage of the meal to hand over Lotte's official music manuscript to the two of them. What he got back yesterday was only a sample of the music, and he passed it all over after the other party went to work this morning.
Lee Soon-gyu and Lee Sun-gyu ignored the half-mouthed noodles and looked directly at the column of composers. For such people, whether they are singers or people in related professions, they will demand each other's favor.
Composer is a profession that is easily overlooked. Logically speaking, this kind of person should be equivalent to the director of a movie. After all, he is the soul of a song.
However, his exposure is much lower than that of directors. Except for stars who compose their own music, few composers receive great attention. Of course, in recent years, a group of composers have gradually begun to gain attention due to idols' hit songs. The more typical ones are Brave Brothers, Sinsadong Tiger, Double Kick, etc., but essentially they are all working towards Transformation as a front-stage singer.
Therefore, the older group of composers are really secretive. At least young people have only heard their songs and rarely met their people, so they are not very famous.
But as the saying goes, laymen only watch the excitement, and insiders watch the door. Which famous composer is not supported by the industry? Those small companies without a master often have to pay hundreds of millions in cash or even dividends for a so-called hit song.
And large entertainment companies all have their own ace composers, such as Yu Yongjin from **, Park Jinyoung from JYP, and although YG has been exploring their own singers, there is also Teddy who can shake up the scene.
The older generation of jyp relied on composing to support a company, and the new ones also have this intention, which shows the importance of composers in the circle.
And now the name in the composer column is a man that these two look up to, jt! A somewhat low-key and excessive composer, everyone in the two circles knows about JT's original glory. The most successful and famous thing is probably that he won a man and a woman.
If Yoo Young-jin has achieved success in Hot, TVXQ and even **, and Park Jin-young has become famous in God and Rain, then his achievements in JT are not inferior at all, with a song called Lee Hyori's Ten Minutes and a song by Kim Jong-kook's A Man, which are incredible. score.
South Korea has the so-called three major music awards. Among solo singers, Kim Jong Kook won two Grand Slams and Lee Hyori won two. These two achievements alone are enough to prove his greatness.
However, he has been silent for many years, and it is not surprising to everyone. After all, there are many talents in this circle, and even fewer have kept pace with the times. But how can you say that his status is there?
So Lee Soon Kyu got a song from this person, and he was really overly excited. The mere fact that JT composed music again was enough to make the industry tremble.
The composer didn't even want to eat, and immediately rushed into the room again. He wanted to re-produce the part he had just finished. He couldn't let others say that he ruined a JT song. He couldn't imagine what happened after the comment was made. , can he still survive in this circle?
Li Shunkyu became happier and happier as she ate, and even started to giggle halfway through the meal. She felt that she should find something to pay her respects. Recently, she has been making a comeback. In the stock market, it has bottomed out, although It didn't bounce much just yet, but it had good momentum.
"Since this guy named is so awesome by you, could it be that his songs were put in the wrong place? I picked them from the largest music library!" Li Menglong said cautiously. Li Shunkyu also thought about it and felt that the possibility was not small, so she immediately stared at Li Menglong nervously. If she was asked to return the song, she would hang herself with a bomb and show it to Li Menglong.
Fortunately, Li Menglong has not yet reached such a selfless place. The better the song, the more advantage he will take. As for who will suffer the loss, it is not his concern, so the only thing to do now is to record as soon as possible and release it together with the promotional video as soon as possible. Who can tell whether raw rice is cooked or not?
Giving Li Menglong a two-thumbs up, Li Soonkyu rushed to the recording studio without looking back. But within two tragic seconds, he immediately trotted over, smiled silly at Li Menglong, and then He kept adding noodles to his mouth desperately.
It's not that she, Lee Soon Kyu, is greedy. She doesn't have enough to eat, has no energy, and sings abnormally. These are all chain reactions, so now she eats for work. Lee Soon Kyu feels that she is too noble.
Li Menglong stood aside speechlessly, holding a bottle of water in one hand and putting the other hand on her back and patting her gently. There was probably no one who could choke on fried noodles and roll his eyes.
After draining half the bottle of mineral water in one go, Lee Soon Kyu inhaled hard and raised his chest, like a soldier being reviewed before going to the battlefield. It would be better if there was no circle of black sauce on the corner of his mouth.
For a while, she couldn't find a tissue, so Li Menglong pulled up Li Shunkyu's sleeve and wiped the corners of her mouth vigorously.
How could Li Shunkyu endure this, so he reluctantly grabbed Li Menglong's sleeve, rubbed it before walking in with satisfaction, while Li Menglong stayed to eat noodles, while looking at the song, the lyrics, and that The so-called legendary jt.
She stayed here until the night. Li Shunkyu didn't want to leave, but the composer and Li Menglong forced her to leave because her voice was almost overwhelmed. Li Shunkyu had to obey their arrangements unwillingly.
And until after returning home, Lee Soon Kyu uncharacteristically didn't say a word, not because of any awkwardness, but because Lee Soon Kyu wanted to protect her voice, and she wanted to save her best voice for the OST.
So the house was busy that night. Lee Soon Kyu couldn't speak, so could Kim Taeyeon let her go? No matter what, I have to force her to say a few more words.
Li Menglong watched from the side and was scared to death. First, he was afraid that if Kim Taeyeon continued to seek death like this, his death would be extremely ugly. Second, he was afraid that if Li Sungyu didn't speak, he would be so angry that he wouldn't explode.
Fortunately, there were a total of five people here, and they managed to keep calm after two separations. In the next few days, Li Shunkyu kept running to the recording studio. The composer seemed to live there, and he still counted on Li Menglong to give him every day. Bring breakfast.
But Li Menglong didn't complain at all. The money was well spent. In the end, when Lee Mong-ryong was invited to listen to the finished song, he couldn't help but look at the two of them in surprise, especially Lee Soon-gyu who had lost a lot of weight in a few days, and couldn't help but open his arms.
Although he pretended to be extremely reluctant, he still wanted to give Li Menglong some face. After all, there were outsiders here, so like a baby swallow throwing itself into the forest, Li Soonkyu plunged into his arms.
Smelling Li Menglong's comforting scent, the hard work of the past few days and past grievances came back to her, but she promised not to cry again.
So Li Menglong suffered again, the clothes on his chest were soaked with water, but Li Shunkyu still didn't admit that it was her, so who should I ask to judge.
The work on this song is basically completed here, and the next step is the matter on the publisher's side. However, Li Menglong is not willing to accept such a simple operation. In addition, he has already paid for it. Although he has not thought about the specific operation, But be prepared.
"My opinion is that the quality of this song is so good, should we record a pure version again, with all the instruments in the simplest form, and the emphasis is on Lee Soon Kyu's own voice!" Li Menglong gave this from a purely layman's perspective. suggestion.
But it’s not bad. The composer thought about it and agreed: “Just use piano for the soundtrack. I have people I know.”
"No need, we know each other ourselves!" Li Menglong pulled Li Soonkyu aside and called Xu Xian directly.
"Xiaoxian, doesn't your mother run a piano school? I have a good internship opportunity here. Do you think there are any outstanding students there who can recommend it?"
Li Soonkyu originally thought that he knew that the maknae was very good at playing the piano, but who would have thought that he would be here like this and that he would also get an internship opportunity? He clearly wanted to give him less money.
After asking about the specific situation, Xu Xian said with resentment: "Does Oppa Menglong think that my piano skills are not good?" You must know that piano is one of her prides.
"Xiaoxian can play the piano!" Li Menglong covered the phone with one hand and asked Li Shunkyu silently.
