Chapter 249: Unanimous Optimism
Hong Jin Young thought about it for a while, maybe because she was more relaxed during her previous singing and her expression was not as nervous as before, so she suddenly started shaking her body. The rhythm was good, but there was no music in the practice room, so it looked a little funny.
“Cuz a party aint a partyill we run thought it
Jigga baby t, and the t whut whut
Party aint a party till we run through it
Whut yeah baby t…”
"puff!"
Yoo Hee-yeol spit out the tea that he had just drunk. All the tea came out. Hong Jin-young's performance at this moment was too devilish.
The rap was very peculiar with body rhythm and was crooked and seemed to be fooling people, but the girl still sang with a smile. It seemed that the rap was obviously not sung well, but it was unexpectedly charming, and of course, it made people laugh unexpectedly.
"continue!"
Zheng Xiuheng looked at Hong Jinyoung, who suddenly stopped singing as if she was frightened by Yoo Hee-yeol, and shouted loudly.
Hong Jin Young looked at Jung Soo Heng again and found that Jung Soo Heng smiled and nodded at her as if to encourage her. As long as Jung Soo Heng's smile is not completely fake, it is actually very easy to infect people, especially those with simple personalities. At least Hong Jin Young regained her confidence because of Jung Soo Heng's encouragement. In fact, she was so excited just now because she saw Lee Hyo Young looking at her with encouraging eyes and shaking his head.
Encouraged, Hong Jin Young started singing again.
"Really, you don't know that he and I are already together
Aren't you and him over?
Why do you want to provoke him and get entangled with him?
Why do you want to look back again? Is it necessary again..."
(Rap) "Now me and my Babyboo love is Forlife you can't stop
We are Bonny and Clyde number 123 goes to the end of the world
Your one chance is over.
Don't think you can get me so easily.
Don't go near him Only for my lover
Say goodbye to baby while we pass you by……”
Zheng Xiuheng suppressed his laughter and swayed his body slightly. In fact, his mood was probably similar to that of Liu Xiye. The song sung by Hong Jinying was from Tashannie's 1999 work "Warning". There were only two people in this group, one was Tasha Yin Meilai and the other was Annie Lee. Later, this song was covered by Gao Yaotai in 2006. In addition, this is also a famous song. Many people have covered it. I have heard it on the show, so Zheng Xiuheng has also heard it.
There is no doubt that Hong Jin-young's rap is weak, but the singing is pretty good. However, it is not as refined as the previous "Marriage", but the interesting thing is that once she started singing, this girl became very lively, even though she knew that her rap should not be good, she sang very confidently with a smile on her face.
What made Zheng Xiuheng laugh the most was that Hong Jin Young winked at him while singing and rapping, and even shot "love bullets" occasionally, as if she was communicating with fans on her own stage, and some of the lyrics were so sweet that they were sickening.
Zheng Xiuheng couldn't help laughing this time. He looked at Hong Jin Young waving her arms, making her voice a little deeper, singing these two lines of lyrics, repeating them over and over again. She looked really cute.
This was the first contestant to finish singing the entire song in the practice room this afternoon. Zheng Xiuheng looked at Liu Xiye, who was smiling happily, and then looked at Lee Hyori, who was also smiling. It seemed that the two of them had similar ideas.
Hong Jin Young finally finished singing a song, and she was a little out of breath, probably because she was too into it. Yoo Hee Yeol was also smiling, and his mood seemed to be instantly up: "Ah, Hong Jin Young, your singing this time was really charming, and I enjoyed it very much, but I have to say that you are not suitable for Hip-Hop!"
Zheng Xiuheng continued: "I have the same opinion. Although this aspect can be trained, compared to the characteristics you showed in your previous song, your talent in Hip-Hop is indeed a little lacking!"
"ah!"
Hong Jin Young opened her mouth slightly and looked at the two teachers in surprise. She thought she was very talented, but the three teachers must have been very happy to see her.
"I don't agree with what they say. I think you are very talented, but you probably haven't worked hard on it. Your sense of rhythm is very comfortable. I think if you are interested, you can work on it!" Lee Hyori doesn't think so. This sister has been obsessed with Hip-Hop in the past two years. It is said that she has been to some performance venues and was taught a lesson by those underground female rappers, but her enthusiasm remains unabated.
"Thank you, teacher, Ms. Lee Hyori! Great!"
I don’t know if it was because the surprise was too great, but Hong Jin Young fired another love bullet at Lee Hyori. After a brief moment of shock, Lee Hyori also laughed and responded with one.
Zheng Xiuheng did not refute Lee Hyori's words. Maybe she really has the talent, but based on what she has shown now, she is very suitable for being a traditional classical music or musical singer, as well as singing Korean enka, which is Trot.
There are many people who sing ordinary ballads and pop songs, but Hong Jin Young's singing style of accurately grasping the lyrics is a kind of talent.
Singing is not just about so-called technique and emotion, or in other words, the technique even includes basic pronunciation and comprehension, there are various things that need to be mastered, such as how to control the strength of a line of lyrics, how to understand, invest emotion, the emphasis and length of pronunciation, these are not something that can be achieved by just opening your mouth and singing.
Although Hong Jin-young could not achieve the emotion in singing, but except for the high-pitched problem and some minor flaws, there was really no problem in singing. If we really have to give a score, according to the selection criteria, she should be able to get 90 points.
At this moment, Zheng Xiuheng and Liu Xiye have the same idea. If she wants to become a Hip-Hop singer, it will be difficult to debut as a solo singer, but there will be no problem in debuting through a group.
If you are a trot singer, there is a possibility of solo...
Since Lee Hyori does not interfere in the management, her thinking is not in sync with the other two, but it is understandable.
Of course, Zheng Xiuheng cannot completely deny her stage presence. If she really learns Hip-Hop and R&B, it is not impossible. If Hong Jin-young is the same age as Park Ji-yeon , or even two or three years older, Zheng Xiuheng would really think in this direction.
But Hong Jin-young is already 23 years old, and from her singing style alone, it can be seen that she is not a wild singer. In addition to some basic things, many of her singing styles tend to be musicals. Zheng Xiuheng looked at the theater work and performance experience written on her resume, and basically has fully grasped the potential of the girl in front of him.
The three of them talked in a low voice for a while, and there was no doubt... their opinions were very unanimous. They all thought highly of Hong Jin Young's potential and current qualities. If they signed this kind of selected student, they would become an excellent soldier who could be deployed to the battlefield immediately.
"Ms. Hong Jin-young, your performance is amazing. There is no doubt that just from the attitude of the three of us, you should know our evaluation of you. If possible, we can talk about signing a trainee contract. You should be the first trainee that our company is going to recruit. You don't have to participate in the subsequent re-election. You just need to prepare songs for the internal election!" Zheng Xiuheng did not say that he had the idea of training her to be a Trot singer, because after all, she was not a member of the company. But Zheng Xiuheng had decided to sign such a talent. Anyway, there was no burden for such a trainee to join the company. On the contrary, her cheerful appearance could increase the activity in the practice room.
However, to Zheng Xiuheng's surprise, Hong Jin Young did not show any joy on her face. Instead, she seemed a little panicked and stood there as if she didn't know what to do.
Although Liu Xilie is not very talented in business, it does not mean that he can't do anything except music. Looking at Hong Zhenying's panic, he frowned and asked, "Maybe... Are you a trainee from another company?"
Zheng Xiuheng and Lee Hyo-ri were both stunned and looked at Hong Jin-young in surprise.
Hong Jin Young's expression also changed greatly. She looked like a child whose secret had been discovered and lowered her head apologetically.
“That… yes!”
After getting a positive answer, Lee Hyori and Yoo Hee-yeol's faces changed, but they were not angry. Instead, they felt it was troublesome and it seemed that they needed to understand the specific situation first.
"Then just terminate your contract with your previous agency. If you are willing to join Antenna, you can come over to complete the formalities at any time. However, the opportunity will only be reserved for you until the end of this selection meeting!"
"Ah, teacher, you didn't lie to me?" Hong Jin Young's originally nervous and panicked heart turned into excitement because of Zheng Xiuheng's words.
Zheng Xiuheng nodded in the surprised eyes of the other two and said, "Of course, as for what company you worked for before, I don't want to ask, after all, there are many people in the same situation as you. If you really want to join Antenna, I welcome you, if not, then I can only say that it is a pity. Okay, you can go out, the staff outside will record your information, if you have decided, you can come anytime!"
"Ah, ah, thank you, thank you teacher, the teacher is great!"
Hong Jin Young was very excited after getting Zheng Xiuheng's promise. She hurriedly bowed to the three people and finally excitedly fired another love bullet, which made Zheng Xiuheng smile helplessly again.
"Next one!"
The staff at the door took Hong Jin Young to register, and behind her was the friend who registered with her.
"Hello, teachers. My name is Xu Yunmei. I am 22 years old. My dream is to become a singer!"
Another very beautiful girl, but also not young. Compared with Hong Jin-young, Zheng Xiuheng looked at her resume carefully and saw the familiar theater experience and modeling experience...
"What is your relationship with Hong Jin Young mentioned above?" Zheng Xiuheng immediately noticed the similarities in their experiences, and guessed that they were friends who signed up together.
