Chapter 1079: Arrival
Kim Sung-won is heading to the United States again!
Although nothing was revealed beforehand, his target was so conspicuous that he was recognized almost as soon as he appeared at the airport! The low-stretched line hat and big sunglasses did not have any concealment effect, and even Han Jimin beside him was recognized at the first time.
"OPPA, don't worry! I'll keep an eye out for you. After arriving at the entrance, Han Jimin handed the suitcase in his hand to Kim Sung-won and said.
Jin Shengyuan didn't speak, and after taking the suitcase, he nodded and turned to leave.
Han Jimin watched Kim Sung-won's back disappear before turning to leave. No matter how you look at what happened between Kim Sung-won and Taeyeon and Jessica, it's Kim Sung-won's fault, but right or wrong is not the only criterion for measuring things. It's as if Seo Hyun, who has always been upright, is on her brother's side in this matter, and her choice will only be Kim Sung-won.
"Miss Han Jimin, may I ask Mr. Kim Sung-won why he is going to the United States?" Before Han Jimin left the airport, he was stopped by a group of reporters who didn't know what program to film.
"I'm sorry." Han Jimin waved his hand, without any intention of being interviewed.
"Excuse me, is it because of the movie?" The reporter asked unwillingly.
However, Han Jimin stopped talking and walked straight to the parking lot.
……
Since February, an Asian name has been spreading in the United States.
Kim Sung-won, a name that became popular in the United States some time ago, has once again attracted people's attention after being publicized by a series of media magazines such as Time Magazine.
In the United States, a country where almost anything can happen, Kim Sung-won's experience is not legendary, but his Asian identity, handsome appearance, age, talent, friendship with the Chris couple, etc., are like a bottomless whirlpool. Gradually, it attracted more and more people's attention.
After paying attention, people will naturally want to know more and more about him, and many of his other small stories have been unearthed one by one. Not long ago, a lot of information suddenly appeared praising his singing skills, and the rhetoric was exaggerated, as if the United States could not find a few singers who could compete with him! Naturally, questioning and ridicule followed.
What follows is the most ordinary hype! But the simplest means are often the most effective, and many people know about it, but they still join it.
Many of Kim Sung-won's live in South Korea were posted on American websites, and although not many people understood it, it did not prevent him from becoming a fan. Especially the only scene of the song "Father, Mother". It has been praised by many well-known music critics without hesitation. "TouchMyhand", an English song he wrote casually, has also won the love of many people.
Undoubtedly, this is Allen's propaganda strategy. Jin Shengyuan is very uncomfortable with this method, but Allen's explanation to him is "In the United States, it doesn't matter if you don't have all five tones, as long as it is enough to attract attention." There will be a lot of media chasing interviews, and then there will be records, commercials, acting film appointments, etc."!
Since he had given full authority to Allen, and he was an expert in this area, Jin Shengyuan would not intervene anymore.
Finally, a newly established music company recently announced that it has signed the Asian artist and will record an English single for him.
This announcement was accompanied by the news that Kim Sung-won had arrived in the United States that morning.
……
This is Kim Sung-won's fourth visit to the United States, and the treatment is completely different from the previous three times, with many media reporters waiting at the airport. Finally made him feel a touch of familiarity.
However, the people sent by Allen did not give reporters a chance to ask questions and interviews, and after finding Jin Shengyuan early, they directly escorted him out of the airport.
"Let's go to the company first." Jin Shengyuan said to the driver.
"Haode, sir." Although Alan was asked to send Kim Sung-won to the hotel. But since the guest asked for it himself, he did not refute it.
The company address is a very ordinary four-story building, and compared to the humble building, all kinds of equipment inside are expensive. And all of them are professional brands.
Alan is busy and not fit to show up, so only Nelson greets Kim Sung-won at the company.
Nelson was a middle-aged man in his forties, with deep eyes, a high nose, and a fair complexion, with a standard American look. However, he is not the "uninhibited" image of many musicians, on the contrary, he is neatly dressed, his beard and hair are also neatly arranged, and he is a little cold-faced, giving people a feeling of not smiling.
After seeing Jin Shengyuan, Nelson sketched a smile on his face, stretched out his hand to him and said, "Kim, hello." ”
"Hello, Nelson." Jin Shengyuan said with a smile, "I'm sorry for you." ”
"It's my job." Nelson nodded slightly. Seeing Jin Shengyuan again, he still felt a little magical, how could there be such a genius on Shijie? The fact that he had dabbled in such a wide variety of things, and yet that they had achieved extraordinary results, seemed to Nelson to be incredible.
Nelson has always believed that a person's energy is limited, and focus is the cornerstone of success.
"Haode, I can't wait to enjoy our new songs." Jin Shengyuan said with an expectant expression. During his time with Allen, he also learned some American ways of doing things.
"Don't you need a break?" Sure enough, the smile on Nelson's face widened a little more after hearing this, but he still asked with concern.
"Not just yet!" Jin Shengyuan said, "Just give me a bottle of water." I won't be able to sleep without listening to our new song first! ”
"Hehe......" Nelson laughed and said, "Please follow me!" ”
"MovesLikeJagger" is the name of the song, and Kim Sung-won has already heard it on the phone. The song had been in Nelson's mind for a long time, and Jagger was his favorite singer, Mick Jagger, the lead singer of the Rolling Stones.
Although Kim Sung-won once wrote an English song, due to the influence of society and educational environment, it was impossible for him to write that pure feeling of European and American music. So, this time he sang the song entirely as a singer! Of course, he also asked Nelson a lot about composition. Learn more and help him play.
The music room is as simple and rigorous as Nelson's, and the equipment inside is all hand-picked by him.
Kim Sung-won has a strong musical understanding, and the two have already communicated the content of the song beforehand, so he soon began to hum softly, memorizing the lyrics and tunes.
Nelson looked at Jin Shengyuan's selfless devotion and nodded slightly. At the beginning of joining the company, when he heard the task assigned to him by Jin Shengyuan, if it wasn't for Allen's help to persuade him, he almost left directly. Because of Kim Sung-won's identity, he deliberately found some of the most popular Korean songs to listen to - completely taking the visual route, not much musicality to speak of, this is the conclusion he reached. In his opinion, Kim Sung-won will assign such a task to himself entirely for the purpose of realizing the "American dream" of Asians.
After Allen's persuasion and contact with Kim Sung-won, his singing skills, talent, understanding of music, the challenge and feasibility of the task, and the identity of his boss made Nelson finally accept the task.
Now there was one more item, Kim Sung-won's attitude - fortunately, Alan didn't tell Nelson about his hesitation.
"I'll sing it again." Ten minutes later, Jin Shengyuan turned to Nelson and said.
“OK!” Nelson nodded. He is also looking forward to what effect this song can be performed by Jin Shengyuan.
"Justshootforthestars, ifitfeelsright......" The moment Jin Shengyuan spoke, Nelson's eyes lit up, this is how he felt! However, it's a pity that although Jin Shengyuan's later singing is also good, he never has the feeling he wants in the first sentence.
After finishing the cappella, hearing Nelson's comment, Jin Shengyuan couldn't help but smile slightly bitterly. He learned this from Taeyeon! His singing skills are constantly improving! Because he doesn't have endless announcements like ordinary Korean singers, he has time to precipitate, learn, and improve. Among Taeyeon's singing skills, what he admires and likes the most is the feeling of opening the first sentence, as if he fell in love with Taeyeon at first sight, a wonderful taste!
However, as if the first love only happens once, after the first sentence explodes, the subsequent singing will naturally seem slightly inferior.
"I'll do my best!" However, Kim Sung-won did not explain.
Nelson nodded with satisfaction and said, "Next, we are not in a hurry to record the song, but to improve some of your details first." "Jin Shengyuan's singing skills are really good, but some skills, pronunciation, etc., need to be improved, otherwise it is easy to be criticized.
"Hmm." Jin Shengyuan has worked hard to learn the pronunciation and singing of some European and American singers before, after all, this is an English song, if it is interpreted with his original characteristics, I am afraid it will be difficult for people to accept.
This one-on-one lesson did not end until the afternoon when Nelson felt hungry. At this time, he suddenly thought that Jin Shengyuan had not rested or eaten since he got off the plane, and he was embarrassed to Daoqian to him.
Jin Shengyuan just smiled and didn't care. In South Korea, there are times when it is more tiring than this.
After lunch, Kim Sung-won came to the pre-arranged haode hotel.
For more than two days, he only slept for a short time on the plane, and Jin Shengyuan's physical strength was almost at the limit. As soon as he entered the hotel room, he threw his body on the bed and lazily stopped moving.
However, I couldn't sleep.
After a while, Jin Shengyuan took out his mobile phone and pressed the number one button. However, the prompt sound in the mobile phone made his face change instantly, and the whole person sat up from the bed. (To be continued.) )
