Chapter 376 Singer Selection
"Ah, is this the song that Brother Xiuheng wrote for you?" Choi Sulli asked while holding Zheng Xiujing's little arm, and Kim Hyun-A beside her was also a little curious.
But Krystal shook her head. At first she thought it was talked about herself, but her brother said "I want to be your bride". Thinking about it this way, it seemed that she did not say it. It is not ruled out that she was too young to remember it, but Krystal felt that it should be her sister who said it.
"It's my sister. This is the work my brother created when he thought of my sister. It must be like this!" Krystal Jung shouted excitedly. For her, perhaps in addition to being able to be with her brother forever, there is another thing that is equally important, which is the relationship between her brother and sister.
Moreover, no matter how good her brother's attitude towards her is, Krystal Jung seems to never feel unhappy, but instead is excited.
"Oh, so that's how it is. I'm so envious. By the way, do you know what the lyrics were that Brother Xiuheng wrote?" Choi Sulli asked curiously, because when Zheng Xiuheng wrote lyrics, he often used English and Chinese. He first outlined all the lyrics and determined the emotions and meanings conveyed by the lyrics. Even when he created them in other languages, he would translate and polish them based on the original lyrics. For example, if Korean songs were not polished, most of the lyrics would only be considered to be at the writing level of ordinary people. Anyone can write a few lines about love.
"Yes, I made a special note of it, but do you understand Chinese? You failed the test!"
"I just want to listen, can't I?"
Krystal Jung looked at her friend's angry expression, smiled wickedly, and then began to explain the lyrics to Choi Sulli.
As for Kim Hyun-ah, she was sleeping on the small bed next to her, thinking about something...
After the performance, a storm broke out on the message board, with many comments like "I love it" and "Great!", as well as countless messages of praise, but Zheng Xiuheng ignored them all.
Taking a deep breath, Zheng Xiuheng leaned back in his chair, his expression somewhat nostalgic and somewhat satisfied as he said, "It seems that everyone likes it very much. This should be the best result for the creator. Okay, now let's see what candidates everyone has recommended?"
" Listener recommended... Tai Zhen Er... Okay, I won't read the rest of the story. What I want to say is, try to recommend female singers. As for male singers, I won't mention anything else unless they are exactly what I want!"
Zheng Xiuheng was also speechless. This was such a weird recommendation. It would be better for the company to just pick someone to sing. To be honest, if Hong Jin Young's current singing ability wasn't enough to handle such a song and her voice wasn't a little bit out of place, Zheng Xiuheng wouldn't be so distressed.
"Listener 4523 recommended Lee Sun Hee Si, because she is the best Korean female singer in her mind, and her voice is very gentle and elegant. She has excellent singing skills, and she can be used as an example of singing "Marriage". I believe she will be very suitable for the song that the DJ just played!"
Zheng Xiuheng saw the news and said helplessly, "Need I say this? I also know that Li Shanji is a great person, and I considered her from the beginning. However, Hook Entertainment rejected us right after we invited them, and they weren't even interested in listening to the songs. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to worry so much. Li Shanji is my top choice!"
"So let's keep it for now. After all, we have to consider whether we can successfully invite you. Now let's continue reading!"
"3414 listeners recommended Ali, a singer who debuted in 2005. He is the singer of "I'm Not Laughing" from LeeSSang's third album "Library Of Soul". He specialized in traditional music before his debut. I think he is quite suitable for her!"
Zheng Xiuheng recalled it carefully and said with a smile: "It is indeed good, but Ali's voice is too bright. I need a voice that is more gentle and graceful, but also has a certain thickness, so I have to pass this recommendation!"
"Let's continue..."
Time passed quickly. Listeners recommended songs while Zheng Xiuheng played them. In between, they talked about everyone's favorite music and singers. The content was very fulfilling. This was also one of the rare broadcasts at this time that did not talk about emotions.
After considering all the factors, in addition to Lee Sun Hee who was ranked first, there is also a male singer named Park Hyo Shin, and the rest are all female singers, including Jang Yoon Jung, known as the Queen of Trot, Beige who debuted a few months ago, and mid-tier singers Yangpa, LYn, Vn Juhee, and Liang Sun Mi. In fact, there are quite a few choices at this glance.
However, not all of them are suitable. If I have to say, Zheng Xiuheng's favorite is naturally Lee Sun Hee, and the rest are Liang Sun Mi who debuted in 2003, and then Zhang Yunzhen. Of course, Zheng Xiuheng is just a superficial analysis. Except that Lee Sun Hee is recognized as a powerful actress and has works like "Marriage", there is no need to study too much. The others can only be judged by listening to their works.
But unfortunately, a singer like Lee Sun Hee is a super senior, and even the Big Three have no way to contact her, so Zheng Xiuheng chose to contact Hook Entertainment directly, and of course let Choi Min-hee go. He thought that if Hook heard the music, he would pass it on, but unfortunately he was rejected directly.
Zheng Xiuheng's personality is just like that. Naturally, he won't go to the door to ask for help. After all, if he really wants to tell the truth, there are solutions, but they are too troublesome. One is to hype it up on SNS, and the second is to let Yoo Jae Suk ask Kang Ho Dong, and then let Kang Ho Dong ask Lee Sang Ji, who is suspected to be Lee Sun Hee's disciple.
In the end, Zheng Xiuheng's choice was obvious, which led to today's special program. However, it was still very effective. Zheng Xiuheng had never heard of singers like Liang Shanmei, and there were also some other singers he didn't know at all. After all, Zheng Xiuheng didn't have an in-depth understanding of the Korean music industry, so this was normal.
But after playing a song recommended by listeners earlier, I did feel something.
"Okay, now I have a lot of candidates. I will try to invite them. If there is a successful invitation, I will let you know through the radio!"
"But the best candidate is, of course, Teacher Li Shanji. Although I was rejected once, I will try again because of everyone's enthusiastic recommendation. For today's ending song, I will choose instrumental music!"
"This is the first song I made with Yoo Hee-yeol and others after I came to Korea. The original song is "Marriage". Many traditional instruments are used in this song. After a lot of consideration, I finally chose to use the flute as the main instrument, supplemented by the guzheng and erhu, plus a few modern instruments and Korean folk instruments. After making it, I kept it in the USB flash drive I carry with me as a souvenir. Now it seems that it has a place to be used today!"
"Cherish the bond between us. I will be with you while you wait for the sunrise. Today's show is over. I hope everyone can have a good dream!"
Zheng Xiuheng took off his headphones, and Li Zhongmin played the music provided by Zheng Xiuheng. The beautiful flute sounded without any impurities and was very pleasant to the ears.
In this piece of music, the flute, guzheng and erhu were all recorded after Zheng Xiuheng played them. Of course, he is not a master at every instrument. For guzheng and erhu, he is a little better than a beginner. If you practice hard on a piece of music, you can still play it very well. Zheng Xiuheng can easily get into the performance emotionally.
However, Zheng Xiuheng is really good at playing the flute. Apart from some techniques that he had not practiced as a child, his breath problem was resolved after treatment, and he can now play the flute without any extra breath, and the sound is round and full. In the words of Yoo Hee-yeol, he prefers Zheng Xiuheng playing the flute to the piano, maybe because he has a better temperament.
The sound sources produced by Zheng Xiuheng and the three giants are not that much improved, but they have a different touch in the selection and matching of musical instruments and their performance. Because they are pure music, they can better highlight the flavor of the song.
If the songs sung by Teacher Li Shanji fill people's minds with various images and stories, completely arouse the listeners' emotions and make them shed tears, then pure music is more likely to make people listen with their eyes closed, because most of the time the conductor is moved by its beauty. Of course, in comparison, the former is more infectious, while the latter needs to reach a very high level of classics handed down from generation to generation before people are easily obsessed with it .
“Propaganda is really a brainwork!”
After walking out of the live studio, Zheng Xiuheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although the search for the singer was real, he brought it up on the show for publicity. At the very least, Zheng Xiuheng's listeners now knew about the game and had heard a pre-release song that was not really a pre-release song.
It was time to get off work, and after saying hello to everyone, Zheng Xiuheng drove to Zheng Duobin's place and stayed there for half an hour before driving home. Although this was a bit unpleasant, Zheng Xiuheng had gotten used to it and would occasionally go there before going home.
However, on the way home, Zheng Xiuheng was more thinking about the singer's choice.
Naturally, there were a lot of reports on the Internet the next day, as well as a lot of unofficial music videos. Among them, "Sakura Dream" and "Marriage" were on the search list, followed by singers mentioned yesterday such as Zheng Xiuheng and Li Shanji.
These two pieces of music alone triggered a lot of praise and expectations. Afterwards, the music game mentioned by Zheng Xiuheng also became one of the topics of discussion. Although it did not last long on the search list, the effect was achieved.
Then on the third day, Han Zhenyu received many calls from other companies, expressing their hope to sing the song "Sakura Dream" and that they would have no problem singing on a voluntary basis. Of course, most of these were singers with low popularity, and some were just normal invitations to sing.
This made everyone in the antenna industry very happy, and the company gained face again.
