Chapter 318 Hong Jin Young is highly expected
Hong Jin Young's little head shook wildly, and she looked at the president's figure, thinking that if the president really sat on her lap, she would definitely "die", not to mention being strangled.
However, Hong Jin Young thought carefully about the previous situation. They were in the conference room at that time and the door was not locked . The three teachers had just left. It seemed that she really had misunderstood something.
"No, no, I know I misunderstood, I'm really sorry, President, next time, they will definitely knock on the door!" Hong Jin Young still put on a pitiful expression, hoping that Zheng Xiuheng would forgive her.
Zheng Xiuheng is actually very satisfied with this cute and lively girl of the same age. He had been thinking that with so many trainees in the company, who really has the potential to achieve great success in the music industry through a solo. Not to mention the aspiring actor students, among the trainees, there is really only Hong Jin Young.
Of course, if we include Lee Ji-eun, Choi Joon-hee and other young girls who are still in development, it would be fine, but they belong to the very distant future, and now there are still many shortcomings.
Hong Jin-young has good looks, personality, and a solid foundation. Although her singing skills are still a long way to go before she can reach the top, according to the standards of a singer rather than an idol, Hong Jin-young is not too old and has plenty of time to continue to improve. In this age where looks matter, considering Hong Jin-young's personality and appearance, Zheng Xiuheng feels that although it is impossible for her to reach the level of Lee Hyori in her heyday, it is still possible for her to become a first-line female artist.
"Over there at the radio station selection, just withdraw yourself!"
"ah?"
"No, President, dear President! Don't chase me away, I really didn't mean it!" Hong Jin Young let out a wail instantly and looked like she was about to cry.
Zheng Xiuheng looked at her with a frown and shouted, "Ah, shut up and listen to me!"
"Oh!" Hong Jin Young suddenly tensed up, sat there stiffly, and looked at Zheng Xiuheng with a nervous face.
Zheng Xiuheng sighed in his heart, but still said: "I've decided... I'll let you debut solo, so you don't have to participate in this audition. There is no room for rebuttal on this matter, so practice well during this period of time. In a while, when Lee Hyori returns with the title song, you will be the Feat!"
Hong Jin Young rubbed her eyes, then pinched her face...
"Ouch!"
Zheng Xiuheng raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at this foolish behavior, and suddenly wondered if his expectations of her were wrong.
"Wow, President, can I really give Lee Hyori a Feat? Ah... Is this a seal... President, you... are so handsome, I will definitely work hard!"
Seeing Hong Jin Young's attitude change instantly, Zheng Xiuheng, who was about to lose his temper, could only hold back his anger. However, this girl was really excited, but she changed the subject at the end, which made Zheng Xiuheng understand that this guy was not really a fool who only knew how to laugh, although... quite stupid.
Zheng Xiuheng said seriously: "You will sign a new exclusive contract tomorrow. In addition, a new vocal teacher will come tomorrow, and you will learn from that teacher in the future. Two hours of dance practice a day is enough, and the rest of the time will be devoted to vocal music, and you will also improve your musical literacy with Lee Ji-eun and Choi Joon-hee. Your debut time will not be too far away. Before your debut, you will be exposed through various means to attract fans, so starting from tomorrow..."
Hong Jin Young swallowed her saliva and looked at the president who suddenly smiled at her. For some reason, her heart skipped a beat. The president's smile was too weird, and it looked evil no matter how she looked at it...
“You will definitely feel satisfied with a fulfilling life!”
For the first time, the handsome president who was becoming more and more wise and powerful in Hong Jin Young's heart somehow became a little like a devil?
Zheng Xiuheng has really given it his all. Instead of "occupying the toilet without doing anything", the company should take some action. To be honest, Zheng Xiuheng also feels that he is very amateur. The company has been open for half a year, but it has not released a single work. If it were not for the income from Lee Hyori's announcements, it would really be a situation of losing money.
For example, I guess I won’t be able to pay much for this month’s tax return.
Zheng Xiuheng felt that he was led into a ditch by the three giants. In the past, the three were too cautious and weak in management, so the company did not have much development. But at that time, it was just a small studio model with low expenses. But it was different for Zheng Xiuheng. If you count the wages, water, electricity, rent, and the trainees' food and accommodation expenses, it's no joke.
Of course, it cannot be said that it was the Big Three who led the way. It can only be said that Zheng Xiuheng did not think so much at the time, and it was only in recent days that he gradually understood these facts.
However, the situation at that time was very urgent. If I had not signed Lee Hyori to start Antenna at that time, the situation would probably be different by now.
After a while, Hong Jin Young walked out of the president's office in a daze. She thought that there would be some terrible things happening before coming to the office, but none of them happened. Instead, she got the opportunity that countless trainees dream of, so Hong Jin Young is still a little dizzy.
Then……
"Bobogaa ...
When Zheng Xiuheng heard the sound coming from outside the door, he knew that guy was excited again. He didn't know where he learned it, but he would scream and shout when he was happy and excited.
"Bobogaa ...
Zheng Xiuheng imitated the shout, shuddered, and quickly drove out the memory. He looked at the time and went back to his small music room.
In fact, Zheng Xiuheng felt a little regretful at this moment. If he had not burned the music scores of himself and Li Xiaole, the Hip-Hop style that Lee Hyori requested this time would not be difficult to achieve.
Although Zheng Xiuheng has never written a Hip-Hop song, it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t listen to it or doesn’t know about it.
Zheng Xiuheng was not taught pop music by Yoo Hee-yeol and the other two. Although he received a lot of inspiration from them, he became interested in pop music more when playing music with Li Xiaole and learned a lot from him.
The two also studied Hip-Hop together, not just Hip-Hop, but also some other styles of music. The direction of their research was a mix of classical and modern music. Of course, this was all just for fun and there were actually no results.
But there were also many half-finished scores and commonly used codes left behind. For those who studied music, especially those who like to create, it is normal to write several scores a day. For Zheng Xiuheng at that time, music was the only joy in life.
For musicians like Yoo Hee-yeol, if they decide to write songs for others and act as a producer, it is not enough to just work hard on writing a song. Instead, they need to constantly look for inspiration to write. They may write a few songs, or more than ten songs, or even more. Of course, not every song is necessarily a complete version. In the end, they need to combine the opinions of both parties and choose the best one.
When it comes to creation, practice makes perfect, but to be truly successful, you need inspiration.
Zheng Xiuheng was in a very calm state of mind, and just happened to remember some lyrics and melodies. This was a song that the two of them had created together a month before Li Xiaole's death, but it was only the beginning melody and lyrics and a few rap lyrics.
However, it is not that the two have done anything groundbreaking. On the contrary, they both like MC Sniper's style of Hip-Hop, so they also use this structure in their creations. Zheng Xiuheng never thinks there is anything wrong with learning from others.
Mentioning the name of MC Sniper, most people would probably feel very unfamiliar. But in the Korean Hip-Hop music circle, he is also a very iconic figure. MC Sniper is a Korean realist singer, and most of the songs he sings are satirical about society. But his works are different from those of masters of the same type. MC Sniper's background music has always been of very high quality, with a strong sense of sadness, and his rap is full of sadness and heaviness.
MC Sniper's famous song should be the interlude "BK Love" in the OST of "Sassy Girl". The sadness hidden behind the rap slowly flows with the melody, and the sadness of the girl played by Jun Ji-hyun who lost Jang Hyuk is also expressed with the song.
The lyrics are not flashy, but they perfectly express a person's angelic warmth and yet desperate heart.
However, the album "First Journey" released in 2003 might be his peak, and the two subsequent albums were much weaker, so that he has gradually faded out of the public eye. Of course, the public's view is naturally different from that of people in the circle.
So although Zheng Xiuheng previously disagreed with Lee Hyori's insistence on Hip-Hop, after careful consideration, he felt that creating a theme song in this style might yield good results. Of course, the result depends on the quality of the song.
But what Zheng Xiuheng still finds strange is that the guy seemed to have suddenly become enlightened during that period of time. Even though the music created by Li Xiaole before was ordinary and lacked spirituality, during that month, Li Xiaole created many interesting melodies. Although they did not sound complete, they all had their highlights. It was a pity that Zheng Xiuheng did not record them carefully because he was not interested in many of them. Therefore, he could not remember many of them. Otherwise, he would probably have created many more songs.
Zheng Xiuheng has always played music with a very clear orientation.
But it doesn't matter, Zheng Xiuheng can compose songs himself. Based on some of his previous memories, Zheng Xiuheng is confident that he can compose a good theme song for Lee Hyori. However, Lee Hyori can't sing the song that Zheng Xiuheng has constructed in his mind live, but it doesn't matter now. If it doesn't work, the second theme dance song can be promoted when the time comes. The specific situation can be discussed later.
In this way, Zheng Xiuheng began his own creation. The rest of the afternoon passed quickly, and the evening was the same as usual. Although such a life seemed monotonous, Zheng Xiuheng and his family enjoyed it.
The next morning, Zheng Xiuheng got up early and drove to Apgujeong. He waited for a while downstairs of H Apartment before he saw a man in a white T-shirt and glasses walking towards the door of the building.
"Excuse me, Xiuheng, please come and pick me up!"
Zheng Xiuheng looked at him with a frown, and then said bluntly: "I know it's troublesome, why don't you just take a taxi here yourself!"
The man sitting in the passenger seat froze, his expression extremely awkward, but he immediately started to laugh: "Xiu Heng, go on a variety show, your image and sarcastic way of speaking will definitely make you popular!"
