The Rise of Korean Entertainment

I did some small things in the morning, including meeting old friends, but in the afternoon it was the real business, or Lee Mong-ryong's job, and of course Lee Soon-gyu and Kim Taeyeon's job.

The conference room on the third floor has been vacated for them, and relevant personnel are coming in and out from time to time. As for the practice room where the two protagonists are currently nesting with Li Menglong.

"I don't think so. It's not like big girls get on the sedan. You are women who have released many albums." Li Menglong couldn't help but joked. It was really different between the two people sitting in front of him leaning against the mirror and the ones he usually knew. It's a bit big.

"Then it can be the same. This is a solo. One person has to stand on the stage and sing a whole song. Besides, what if the results are not good?" Kim Taeyeon muttered, feeling very happy at the same time. Li Shunkyu also pulled her up, otherwise she would be even more nervous if she was alone.

As for the reasons for nervousness, there are too many reasons. The simplest one is that if the solo performance is not good this time, it will not only give the girls a bad start, but it will also be devastating to Kim Taeyeon's own development. Although she has confidence in Li Menglong I will spare no effort to give myself a second and third one, but the meaning is different.

Besides, Kim Taeyeon is also a proud person. As the first vocalist in the first girl group, Kim Taeyeon's pressure is not enough for outsiders. Although she has proved herself with one song, it does not make her not nervous.

As for Lee Soon Kyu, she naturally has similar thoughts, but unlike Kim Taeyeon's rejoicing, she feels that she is really unlucky. Why does she have to accompany Kim Taeyeon for a solo inexplicably? By the time one of them is lost to Kim Taeyeon, she will still be embarrassed. If both of them fail together, it will simply be a shame that they will be thrown into grandma's house.

"How about I go talk to them and discuss it tomorrow?"

"Really? That's great!"

"Of course it's a lie. Who doesn't have a lot of things on his hands? How can he have so much time to wait for you? Hurry up and leave!" Li Menglong understood this kind of mentality very well. It is inevitable to worry about gains and losses, but as girls, they should not be subject to this. Scared by such small scenes.

Li Menglong believed that if he were not here, the two of them would be much more normal. Now they are in a state of giving up in front of their own people. Of course, they also instinctively hope that Li Menglong can comfort them with a few words and cheer them up.

But besides this method, Li Menglong had other options, such as gently tugging the two people's hair at the temples. As long as he exerted a very gentle force, the two people stood up obediently, not even daring to resist.

And when they could resist, the door of the conference room was pushed open by Li Menglong. Dozens of pairs of eyes looked over, and they could only return to being Sunny and Kim Taeyeon in front of the public, greeting everyone obediently.

The composition of the people inside is a bit complicated. There are people brought by Kim Jong Kook, people found by Lee Eun Hee later, and there are also participants from his own company. As for the directions they are responsible for, they are all different. In short, it is a relatively large-scale meeting.

Lee Soon Kyu and Lee Sun Kyu don't dare to show any temper here. It's like actors are naturally afraid of directors. They are also weak in front of this group of people. After all, the quality of an album is really not what they can do. Very many.

From the initial selection of the song, singing style, overall packaging, and publicity strategy, even if two people are involved, how much can they really understand? So now they are transformed into juniors, passing drinks and other things on the side.

Li Menglong didn't feel distressed at all. People always have to bow their heads sometimes, and besides, this was not an injustice, so he walked directly to the drowsy man and shouted loudly: "Yin Eunhui is here. Got it!"

Kim Jong-kook shyly waved to everyone, indicating that his jump was a complete accident, and then turned around to fight with Li Menglong. At least half of his biceps were trained to deal with Li Menglong.

Since the two big guys, Lee Mong-ryong and Kim Jong-kook, personally came to adjust the atmosphere, the scene was naturally more relaxed, and different people gradually began to communicate with each other, and Lee Soon-gyu was also able to participate.

He was very grateful and planned to thank Lee Mong-ryong with his eyes, but looking at Lee Mong-ryong who was tightly hugged by Kim Jong-kook, Lee Soon-kyu always felt that his original intention was definitely not to ease the atmosphere, and it seemed more appropriate to simply provoke Kim Jong-kook.

A small pile of information was spread out in front of everyone. Although Li Menglong didn't know what was on it, he felt it was quite professional for some reason, so he felt a little embarrassed when there was nothing in front of him.

I got two pieces from Kim Jong Kook and was mocked by Kim Jong Kook: "Can you read pure music scores?"

Li Menglong wanted to refute it, but the fact was that he couldn't read staff music. Besides, wouldn't it be enough to just use digital musical notation nowadays? But Li Menglong couldn't be too embarrassed in front of so many professionals.

As Kim Jong Kook knocked on the table and started talking, the atmosphere gradually became serious. Lee Soon Kyu and Kim Taeyeon were sitting on the left side of Lee Mong Ryong. Both of them put on their glasses and listened carefully to everyone's words. This kind of thing There is no reason why they are not serious.

"As the producer of this duo's album, if you have any good suggestions, feel free to ask me, and I'm an easy person to talk to." A not-so-funny joke: "Let me talk about the tone of this album first. "

This is Kim Jong Kook's authority as a producer. It can be said that in an album, he has more power than a singer. So many singers will take on this position themselves, but Kim Taeyeon is obviously not qualified.

Kim Jong Kook is much better in terms of qualifications and professional level. The last album of Girls has already proved his skills, not to mention that it was dance music that he was not very good at. It can be said that Kim Jong Kook is getting further and further on the road of music authority. The further away.

"This time Taeyeon's single tends to be lyrical, mainly highlighting Taeyeon's unique voice. The song is preferably high-pitched and cheerful. Of course, popular rap can also be considered." Because Kim Taeyeon's solo is very It has been planned for a long time, so the plans are relatively mature.

Obviously Kim Jong Kook had communicated with everyone in advance, so some songs of similar styles were played at the scene. At this time, Kim Taeyeon no longer cared about being reserved. From the perspective of a singer and her knowledge of existing music, she began to express own opinions.

The only idle person in this room is Li Menglong. He is really idle. Mainly because he feels that what these people are discussing does not seem to be of any use. Isn't it enough to just pick the best song among the songs received?

Although he had doubts, Li Menglong instinctively felt that it might be embarrassing to ask, so he just pretended that he didn't talk. This was also the case. The details of a song are too important to singers and producers.

In other words, this song not only represents this single, but also Kim Taeyeon's future song style and performance positioning, which has a profound impact.

Since he couldn't help, Li Menglong could at least avoid causing trouble, but he was very curious, why did Li Shunkyu listen so seriously? Haven't talked about her yet.

So he secretly pushed his elbow into Li Shungui's side. It was just that Li Shungui was working hard, so he had no time to pay attention to Li Menglong. Unlike Kim Taeyeon, after all, she was the leader of girls before, so she has experience discussing album positioning and song style with S*M.

But Li Soonkyu was a bit in the dark, and no one had cultivated her ability in this area. Although she knew more than Li Menglong, a novice, she didn't expect their opinions to be so useful. She thought she was just asking them to come over and work on a few plans. Pick one out.

What is supposed to come will eventually come. Kim Taeyeon wiped the sweat from her head. As her words were taken more and more seriously, Kim Taeyeon was under great pressure. She had to be careful with every word she said.

First he glanced at Li Menglong, knowing that the weight of her words was the reason why he had said hello, and then he looked at Li Soonkyu sympathetically. This girl who was not afraid of anything was secretly shaking her legs!

Everyone took a sip of water, then replaced the paper that was full of scribbles, and then started to stare at Li Sunkyu. A group of people looked at Li Sunkyu. Even Miss Li could only lick her dry lips and smiled stiffly. .

"We have only known about Sunny for a few days, so we have almost no plans. Let's chat casually, or do you have any ideas of your own?" Kim Jong Kook took the initiative to ask.

"My thoughts?" Li Shunkyu felt that his tone was a bit too weak. He coughed twice and then said: "My requirements are not high, just a single. Of course, the song must be good. As for the style, it doesn't matter, I can do it." Take control!" He said finally feeling a bit domineering.

This is not what Lee Soon Kyu said casually. The reason for having such confidence is naturally her years of practice. The voice is innate, but the skills can be improved. She does have the ability and confidence to master various songs.

And it’s not like there are no masterpieces. The song “Meeting You in the Crowd” was the beginning of Lee Soon Kyu’s rise in popularity, and it was also part of her display of singing skills. I have to say that it was precisely because of this song that this group of people suddenly became interested in Lee Soon Kyu. There is no resistance to soloing.

If this request were made by Yoona, although it is likely that no one would object because of Lee Mong-yong's face, it is simply impossible to expect the same dedication as Kim Taeyeon's album.

"What's the difference between you and not having any request?" Kim Jong Kook smiled bitterly: "You might as well just ask for a popular song."

Although Li Menglong did not know anything about music, he knew how to get along with people. He put his arm around Kim Jong Kook's shoulders and said, "We are all members of our family. Please help me. Otherwise, when the time comes, people will go to Yoon Eun Hye's place to blow pillows, and I will too." It can’t be stopped.”

Kim Jong Kook was very indignant at Lee Mong Ryong's shameless face, but he had to say that the threat was still effective, and Lee Soon Kyu also thought this was a good idea and it worked!
