Chapter 16: Rock 'n' Roll
YG was founded in 1996 by Yang Hyun-suk, a member of the popular boy band "Seo Tae-ji & Kids" in the 90s.
When Luo Junning and Kwon Zhilong came to YG together, not long after they entered YG, they saw a handsome middle-aged uncle greet them with a smile.
"This is Na Jun-nyong XI, hello, I'm YG president Yang Hyun-suk. Zhilong told me about it, he wanted to use the company's equipment, right?"
"Hello President Yang. Luo Junning shook hands with him politely, thinking that this Yang Hyun Suk was dissatisfied with Kwon Ji Ryong for bringing him to 'borrow' YG's equipment, and immediately explained, "President Yang, I took the liberty of it, if it is inconvenient, I ...... it."
"Haha, there's no inconvenience, just use it casually. ”
Yang Xianshuo's enthusiasm made Luo Junning a little unbearable, and Quan Zhilong also secretly rolled his eyes on the side.
Fortunately, Yang Xianshuo left after taking Luo Junning to the recording studio, otherwise Luo Junning would really feel uncomfortable, "Zhilong, your president is too enthusiastic, is he usually like this?"
"It's okay. The president is a singer, well, he will be enthusiastic when he meets the people. Quan Zhilong gave an explanation, but the water in this explanation is a bit large.
"I see. Singer and music producer zuò people ......"
Luo Junning suddenly realized that it is normal for these Korean IDOL people to have any quirks, and it is common sense for singers to have a good relationship with music producers, so that they can have a chance to get better songs, and good songs are opportunities.
didn't bother anymore, Luo Junning quickly focused on writing songs, after all, time was running out.
In fact, Luo Junning is thinking about it, even if Yang Hyun-seok had a big quirk when he was a singer, he will become utilitarian after ten years of his career as president, he is so enthusiastic about Luo Junning today, in addition to his songs that pushed Kim Jong Kook to the throne of the triple crown in one fell swoop, there is also his identity. Identity of the representative of the second shareholder of S.M.
In the recording studio.
Luo Junning knew his ability, and the song he gave to Kim Jong Kook was 'seen' in Kim Jong Kook, and he wrote the songs "When You" and "Marry Me" that he sang casually, and he did not systematically study lyrics and composition. Some are just talented.
Because he couldn't pull his face and didn't want people to know his secret, Luo Junning didn't tell the truth, but he cared about Quan Zhilong's opinion.
"Brother, why haven't you started yet?" Quan Zhilong blinked, obviously not quite understanding why Luo Junning was in a daze at this time.
Luo Junning coughed lightly. smiled: "This is a song I wrote for myself, you better listen to my timbre first and see if there are any good opinions." ”
"Good. ”
Luo Junning's two songs were not sampled, so he didn't go to the soundproof room, and sang softly on the spot, and then heard Quan Zhilong frowning.
After the two songs were sung, Quan Zhilong said with some hesitation: "Brother, you haven't learned to sing, have you?"
"No, if you have any opinions, just say them, don't scruple. I also want to know my own shortcomings. Luo Junning said sincerely, but he was thinking in his heart: This kid should save me some face, right?
Seeing Luo Junning's sincere expression, Quan Zhilong was quickly infected, hesitated for a moment, and began to give his opinion.
A quarter of an hour later, Quan Zhilong stopped unsatisfied, he has always been his teacher, and now it feels quite cool for him to educate people, and he really feels very good about Luo Junning's complete wild way.
It's not that Luo Junning's singing is not good. On the contrary, Luo Junning's singing voice is quite infectious, but because he has not been systematically studied, he has no skills such as ventilation and vocalization. Let the system train Quan Zhilong, who was born in various discomforts.
But when he looked up and saw Luo Junning's somewhat distorted face, Quan Zhilong sighed in his heart, and then remembered that Luo Junning was at most a musician, not a singer, and quickly got up and apologized: "I'm sorry, brother." I'm talking too much. ”
"Am I going to kill someone?"
"Uh!!"
"Just kidding. Luo Junning rubbed his face, "So, my singing voice doesn't have any advantage at all?"
Quan Zhilong said cautiously: "No, although the skills are insufficient, brother, your voice is very infectious and very able to penetrate into the hearts of the people, but there will be many, many irrational places in the ears of people who have been systematically trained." ”
"Is there any way to change these places quickly?"
Luo Junning was a little anxious, because the 'people who have been systematically trained' that Quan Zhilong said obviously includes Zheng Xiuyan, and he also has Quan Yuli, when he thought of singing to Quan Yunli before, he was still proud, but in the other party's ears, he made so many mistakes and omissions, he blushed a little, this time he wants to sing to Zheng Xiuyan, no matter what, he can't make this kind of mistake again, and he can't be embarrassed again!
"Huh?"
Quan Zhilong was dumbfounded, how could this kind of training be successful in a few years, is it really a casual play in the practice of IDOL?
"Brother, if you only have to sing in a few days, you can't have time, or you can prepare rock songs, at least it's easier to cover up these deficiencies than lyrical songs, and remember some simple tricks, it can have a good effect. ”
"Okay, let's do rock songs!"
Luo Junning waved his hand, and Quan Zhilong was excited for a while: This is a top musician, so confident! You must learn something from my brother!!
A few days passed in a flash, and "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop" went very smoothly with the full support of Lee Yoon-jung and MBC and the hard work of Yoon Eun-hye, Kong Yoo and others, so that Luo Junning had more time to solve the problem of the song, and finally made the song before the party.
In one of YG's practice rooms, there was a lot of music that was so dynamic that it took several times before stopping.
"Yes, it's finally a run-in. ”
Luo Junning felt a little hot, and was about to raise his hand to wipe his sweat, when a tissue was handed over, "Thank you, Nuna." ”
"You're welcome. ”
Pu Chun returned to the keyboard, and when she saw Jiang Dacheng squeezing her eyes at herself, she naturally returned a bright smile, which immediately made the kid turn her head in disgust, she smiled proudly, and then turned back, her eyes kept going back and forth on Quan Zhilong and Luo Junning.
After wiping the sweat and putting the guitar on his body aside, Luo Junning clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Thank you." ”
Keyboardist Pu Chun, bassist Quan Zhilong, drummer Jiang Dacheng, and himself, the guitarist and lead singer, are the programs prepared by Luo Junning this time, and Pu Chun and Jiang Dacheng are also helpers pulled by Quan Zhilong, and the four of them temporarily formed a small orchestra together.
"Brother, you are too polite, because you and I have the opportunity to perform so early, I should thank you, brother. Jiang Dacheng said with a smile, making his face a country boy quite 'temperament'.
Pu Chun nodded and affirmed: "Although Dacheng is a bit exaggerated, it is also right. ”
Quan Zhilong held the bass in his hand and said with a smile: "Brother, I also think Dacheng is right, this time I learned a lot from my brother, not a systematic thing, but it is very helpful to me." ”
"You guys!"
Luo Junning shook his head funny, for a few days, but a few people were quite close, so he didn't say anything more, and then he waited for the party to perform, and gave Zheng Xiuyan the song she promised at the beginning, this rock song written by him. (To be continued.) )
