The Rise of Korean Entertainment

I don’t know who started this trend. Anyway, everyone agrees that entertainment companies have normal business flow during the day, and when ordinary employees get off work, it’s time for the music department to go to work. Could it be that inspiration comes better at night?

Lee Mong-ryong would rather come during the day, but it seems that even Lee Soon-gyu and Kim Taeyeon are very familiar with this situation, so they slept all day long during the day, and came to the company to check in for two days in a row as soon as the sky darkened. .

The music department in the company is basically brought over by Kim Jong Kook. This guy is also SW's number one musician. When exid saw him, he didn't call him senior but teacher, Kim Jong Kook, Teacher!

"Hey, Teacher Jin, can't stay at home anymore? You came here on your own initiative without calling you?" Li Menglong started to ridicule as soon as he came up. The key is that it is very close to the facts. It would not be easy to tell if Jin Zhongguo's face was not red. , now Li Menglong must die miserably.

This is the first time that Li Menglong participated in the creation of an album starting from the songs. Girls' Generation's last album was just two songs that were made with money, and he just filmed a music video along with it.

After adjusting his mentality, it was okay for Li Menglong not to come, but could these two girls let him go? Lee Soon Kyu's reason is that as an assistant, should she be asked to buy coffee by herself? Impeccable reasons!

Although there are nearly a hundred songs that have been initially filtered by Kim Jong Kook and others, in many other companies, Kim Jong Kook can actually pick out two songs and let the singers sing directly, but this is not sw, and a lot of the initiative has been given to Kim Taeyeon. .

So they have ample right to choose. In fact, mainly Lee Soon Kyu and Kim Taeyeon's songs have basically been selected. Choose one from them and save the others for later use. The songs will not expire anyway.

Kim Taeyeon's voice is highly recognizable and her vocal range is wide enough, so in Li Menglong's opinion, the demo is a bit like roaring and showing off her skills. I guess Kim Taeyeon will be very tired when singing, but she can't stand people's willingness. ah.

As for Li Shungui, he was in a dilemma here. After picking and choosing, there was no one he liked, which made the little girl very impatient, especially when there were more than a dozen people accompanying him.

If it was an ordinary matter, Lee Soon Kyu would have left it to them casually, but this is a solo, her music, not to mention their beliefs, it is not something that can be dealt with casually. Who doesn't want to be able to sing a song? Songs that match your mood!

So the interplay made Li Shunkyu extremely irritable, and at this time the assistant had to step in: "It's already past eleven o'clock, everyone hasn't had dinner, right? Let's go next door to have something to eat, and we'll do it when we get back!" Li Menglong Zhang Luo said.

Li Menglong walked out with a large group of people, while Kim Taeyeon stayed behind and continued to choose with Li Soonkyu: "Isn't there a suitable song?"

There was no need for Lee Soon Kyu to pretend that there was no outsider, and he leaned on Kim Taeyeon's shoulder with a depressed tone: "How should I put it, it's not that the quality of the song is not good, it just doesn't feel suitable for me!"

"How about singing my song to you?"

"Forget it, I really don't care about those two songs of yours. They're nothing but hitting the high notes!" Lee Soon Kyu was like this and he didn't forget to hit Kim Taeyeon.

"What do you know! You have to know that I have participated in every one of our albums. This is called music pop sensitivity! These songs of mine will all be hits!" Kim Taeyeon said arrogantly.

"Do you believe this? Who almost fell out with the company when they heard that gee was the title song! Who swore that gee would never be successful? And who said that gee's tunes were too simple? "..." Kim Taeyeon couldn't stand Lee Soon Kyu's revelations.

But in fact, I don’t blame Kim Taeyeon, or anyone with a good voice who doesn’t want to sing some difficult songs to show off their skills. Of course, it would be better if it can blend emotion and difficulty. This is an advantage, right?

It's just that Kim Taeyeon's advantage is obvious, but Lee Soon-kyu's advantage here is hard to say. It's certain that Lee Soon-kyu sings well, but it's not easy to describe which aspect is good. It's like she is herself. Her biggest characteristic is average.

There is a famous barrel theory, but it is not very applicable to the entertainment industry. The barrel theory in the entertainment industry should be reversed. No matter how long the longest board is, whoever uses it will use your barrel. Who cares how much water you can hold.

Therefore, there are more and more people who are famous for their tricks, and of course there are also many who are flying across the sky like comets. So-called all-around entertainers like Lee Soon Kyu are becoming less and less popular. Fortunately, she does not need to consider these things now. , she just wanted to find a song she liked to sing.

The night actually didn't go by as slowly as I thought, but I didn't do as much as I thought. Music is really no joke. Just a so-called style determination can be discussed for hours.

The key is that there seems to be no difference in Li Menglong's ears. He doesn't believe that those listeners can hear the so-called good intentions? However, the quality of the result is one thing, and whether it is done or not and whether it is used carefully is another.

It's just that the protagonist tonight is destined to be Kim Taeyeon. Lee Soon Kyu can't even pick out a song. The only thing he can be thankful for is that it's just a single. If there were more than a dozen songs in the album, Lee Soon Kyu would have gone crazy.

Lee Soon Kyu is worried that Lee Mong Ryong can't go alone. He likes to solve problems fundamentally. Lee Soon Kyu doesn't like these songs now or doesn't resonate with them, so he will look for them outside. But throwing money is one thing, looking for acquaintances. It’s also a good idea.

And Li Menglong’s acquaintances who can compose can be counted on one hand, so it is easy to think of the legendary musician JT hiding in Jeongseon. As the saying goes, there are three pounds of nails in a broken ship, this former God, it’s not like he doesn’t have any inventory at all.

It just so happened that Lee Soon-gyu was on the verge of explosion now. Even if it was a change of mood, he had promised that he would play in the past, but he never had time.

After passing a note to Kim Taeyeon and Kim Jong Kook, he took Lee Soon Kyu and ran away. Lee Soon Kyu huddled in the passenger seat and kept looking at Lee Meng Long with contempt: "Can you please stop letting your lower body control your thoughts? I'm here to come out." work!"

If there is a possibility that Li Menglong really wants to stop the car and deal with this dead girl now, is he, Li Menglong, such an impatient person? But it’s not a bad idea. You can try it someday.

"I'm taking you out to play!"

"Doesn't this mean the same thing?"

"You can't talk properly, can you? Get some sleep quickly, we'll be there in two hours!" Li Menglong yawned.

"Oh, you really don't want that? What if you molest me while I'm asleep?"

"hehe……"

It was still dark when we first came out. By the time we arrived in Jeongseon, the weather had brightened up. I loved the green rice fields, distant mountain peaks and fresh air. Li Menglong felt that it would be a good idea to stay here for a few days. Great choice.

People in the country get up very early. As soon as Li Menglong walked into the yard, old man Jin Xiangmin noticed him alertly. When he saw the two of them, he wanted to frown, but he still couldn't control it.

"Just laugh if you want to, it's not good if you hold it in!" Li Menglong came up and took the old man's kettle and started watering the vegetable patch: "Li Shunkyu, please go get some sleep. You can find a room wherever you want, you're welcome!"

The old man ignored the familiar Li Menglong and found a room for Li Shunkyu with a smile: "Go to sleep, no one will call you!"

After also not sleeping all night, Li Menglong became more energetic: "Is there any more physical work? You're welcome!"

The work itself is not much. Weeding, chopping firewood and moving some large items in the yard are not too tiring in themselves, but it is a bit heavy for an old couple. Li Menglong doesn't know what their children are doing. Anyway, he looked quite uncomfortable.

However, the stubborn old man obviously does not need anyone's sympathy. Li Menglong has known this for a long time, so he bluntly stated his purpose while working: "It's been two months. Is the song ready?"

"No! I told you I won't compose music anymore!" The old man sat aside and watched Li Menglong chop wood, but his words were not friendly at all.

"Okay, you're a stubborn old man!" The woman brought over two glasses of juice and complained at the same time: "Menglong, you don't know, you have been writing songs every day for the past two months..."

"You...you traitor! I'm going for a walk!" The old man probably couldn't lose his dignity, so he ran away with a cane.

"Don't worry about it. He is really writing it. I know it even if he doesn't tell me. No one has come to see him for many years. He feels that you can trust his composition ability and he is very happy, but..."

"I understand this. I don't force it. In fact, it would be nice to give him something to do! I just want you to come and have a look today!" Li Menglong said with a naive smile.

"I like hearing this. I will come and play when I have time. There is no better place in Seoul than here!" the old woman said.

"I think so too!" Li Menglong gave her a thumbs up, and then started chopping wood hard again.

The pace of life in Jeongseon is frighteningly slow, slower than all states. At least there is Kim Ha-yeon there who can chat and have some fun, and the family can do many things around Kim Ha-yeon.

But in Jeongseon, I just started to enjoy the coolness after lunch. On the one hand, it was too hot to work, but there was also no work to do. Everyone, including the leaves, was lazy.

At first, Li Soonkyu huddled in Li Menglong's arms and dozed off, but then he felt that Li Menglong's body was too hot, and he lay down on the balcony in the courtyard with his arms stretched out in an unusually bold manner.

Li Menglong didn't care. Instead, he played chess with the old man and gently fanned Li Shungui with a cattail leaf fan. It wasn't entirely to make her warm, but because he was afraid of mosquitoes falling down.

Li Menglong did not deliberately please, and Li Soonkyu did not refuse pretentiously. This natural feeling made Kim Sang-min very emotional. He thought that only old couples could be in this state, but he did not expect that these two young people would also have such a precipitated relationship. emotion.
