Chapter 34 Debut (2)
When encountering things that can determine your destiny, it is not an exaggeration to be cautious.
=================================
On the morning of September 23, it was a sunny early autumn.
In the minds of the company's owners, yesterday's MV was announced that Kang Jae-hee made his debut. But for this circle and ordinary people, only after today's "Popular Song" was broadcast, Kang Jae-hee made his debut and had the opportunity to gain a foothold in this circle.
Whether Kang Jae-hee is the company's main promoter or the newcomer launched to test the market, in the eyes of others, newcomers who are leaning against S.M company should not be underestimated.
The recording of the show started in the evening, which was to give time for those fans who went to school to support the show. The show was broadcast on Sunday, but the recording had to be advanced. So Kang Jae-hee still had a daytime to do what he wanted to do. After today, he might still be him, but sometimes he was no longer him.
The first thing I do when I go to the company every day is to visit Yu Yongzhen. As long as Jiang Zaixi goes to the company, the first thing I do must be this, regardless of the weather.
"Teacher, I'm here." He was as polite and respectful as usual. Kang Jae-hee just didn't want to communicate more with other people he disliked, but it doesn't mean he didn't know what other people in the company said about him. He knew very well that with Yu Yong-jin, he had less than half of the trouble.
When chatting occasionally, Park Jung-soo and the others always envied Kang Jae-hee for being so leisurely. If there was no Yo Yong-jin, how could Kang Jae-hee be so casual and relaxed if she wanted to debut.
Yu Yongzhen sat in the seat he usually sat in. Here you can see everything in the recording studio and control most of the recording software. After he did not get a good response after he released the album, Yu Yongzhen once thought that his musical path would end. But Li Xiuman took him into another music door.
Yu Yongzhen will always remember that after Li Xiuman brought him to the recording studio, he pressed him on this seat and said to him: "Sit here, you are the god of this recording studio." He will never forget the look at Li Xiuman looking at the studio at that time. It was a musician's confidence in himself and the pride that this recording studio can control everything.
It was from that day that singer Yu Yongzhen disappeared, while S.M Company had a new music creator.
At that time, the recording studio was not so big, and the equipment was not as gorgeous as it is now. But everything was so strange to Yu Yongzhen, but so familiar. When he was a singer, he also looked at the equipment through the soundproof glass of the recording studio. But after sitting in this seat, he was very confused.
At that time, Teacher Li Xiuman was also a very experienced and enthusiastic musician. He also taught himself step by step.
If you are not a person who loves music, you cannot experience the feeling of rebirth. Yu Yongzhen clearly remembers the satisfied praise of Teacher Li Xiuman after he created the first song. It was an encouragement and an affirmation.
On the road of music, he was closed a door, his teacher Li Xiuman, and opened another larger door for him, allowing him to see the wider sky and the world.
I released my own album in 1993 and started to be involved in arrangement in 1994. Before I knew it, it has been 10 years.
It seems to be a cycle, or a kind of inheritance. 5 years or 10 years of numbers are always important in S.M. The children of HOT disbanded in 5 years, the six children of mythology left the company after 5 years, and the three children of SES also disbanded in 5 years. And I met my own students 10 years later.
People who make music are always not sensitive to things in life and have a poor memory of things outside of music. Yu Yongjin has forgotten what he said to Kang Jae-hee. But he is sure that he will accept Kang Jae-hee as a student not only because he has creative talent, but more importantly, he has a musician heart. It can also be seen that Kang Jae-hee doesn’t care so much about the debut of Idiot.
But this is not a small music studio opened by Yu Yongzhen himself. In S.M, he could help Kang Jae-hee, but he could not change the company's decision. At the beginning, he mentioned Kang Jae-hee's situation to the company, hoping that the company could give Kang Jae-hee a quieter environment to continue learning music production with him. Because at that time, the company had just launched "Oriental God Qi" for about half a year, it was logical that it would be impossible to launch new people.
But he ignored that the company will reopen the board meeting next year, and the president will definitely change people. Only after Kang Jae-hee is launched now can appoint an agent who is his own. In about a year, when Kang Jae-hee's value is reflected, the company will not destroy an artist who can make money at will.
This matter was only discovered after the company decided to let Kang Jae-hee debut and he found Lee Soo-man.
After all, Yu Yongzhen is just a musician with the title of a senior executive in the company.
He knew very well that Kang Jae-hee had excellent creative talent and good singing skills. However, neither creation nor singing skills were the best.
If he was closed on the road of music and opened another door by Lee Soo-man, then now, Kang Jae-hee's singer door is opened, and the door of creation is also opened by himself. Indeed, the prospects are better than himself.
However, neither the door of singers nor the door of creation was completely opened. Yu Yongzhen switched to creation only after he was hopeless as a singer, and he had always been very attentive on the road of creation. But now Kang Jae-hee is unable to concentrate.
Yu Yongzhen knew that Jiang Jae-hee was very smart. When he first came, his singing skills could only be considered effective at most. However, in one year, he only studied vocal music like three days fishing and two days of hair. Now he can be considered excellent. His creative path has surprised him even more.
But talent is just talent, which is a kind of ability to grow, but it is not his current strength. One year is still a bit shorter. Not to mention him, Yu Yongzhen, even Li Xiuman, it is impossible to guarantee that the artists released will succeed, and it is impossible to determine whether a song will become famous. Being popular or not is not just about movies, but also similar situations in songs.
So he doesn't know if Kang Jae-hee's debut is the most correct one. If there are two more years, no, even if it's only one year, he will have the confidence to let Kang Jae-hee go to the next level in both singing skills and creation. And when Kang Jae-hee is released at that time, he will be much more sure.
Unfortunately, time waits for no one. And Kang Jae-hee's future can only be left to himself and to the market.
When Yu Yongzhen was thinking, Kang Jae-hee did not disturb her. Although she didn't know what her teacher was thinking, musicians always didn't like others to disturb her thinking. Sometimes, a classic peerless song was born through such thinking.
Kang Jae-hee has been standing there quietly, waiting for his teacher to come back to his senses. He was not impatient, because only in front of people he recognized could he empti himself without reservation. Of course, except those talented people (who did you think of...)
I don’t know how long it took, Yu Yongjin finally came to his senses. He knew that Kang Jae-hee had been there all the time. So he said a little apologetically: "Jia-hee, let's sit first." I don’t know if this apology is for making him stand stupidly for a long time today or for something else.
"I'm going to the scene today. Are you excited?"
"Uh, I'm not very excited to hide it from the teacher." Kang Jae-hee scratched her head and said.
"Oh, this mentality is actually quite good. He is a person who does big things." Of course, his student knew that Yu Yongzhen just didn't know what to say at this time. A little guilty mood has been affecting his thoughts.
"Teacher, were you creating just now?" Yu Yongzhen thought about things for a long time. In Jiang Jae-hee's perception, only when she was creating would she think about it for so long when there were others.
"Actually... I've been thinking about your problem just now." Since Kang Jae-hee asked, Yu Yongzhen thought about it and decided to tell the truth. In fact, it's a bit late to say anything now, but Yu Yongzhen believes in his students. Since he could overcome difficulties at the beginning, even if Kang Jae-hee really encounters difficulties in the future, he believes that he can definitely overcome them.
"Are the teacher worried about my development after my debut?" It must be a very difficult problem to make Yu Yongzhen think about it for so long, so for me, there is only future development.
"Yes, in fact, you are very talented in singing skills and writing. But the time has been a little short."
"I can still learn after I debut, and even if I debut, my teacher is still a teacher." Kang Jae-hee was still very moved by Yu Yongzhen's concern. If there is the best relationship in the company, it must be Choi Soo-young Park Jung-soo and the others. But among the elders, Yu Yong-jin must be the one who cares most. Even his uncle's concern for him is not as good as Yu Yong-jin. Kang Jae-hee's view of right and wrong has long been mature, and he can feel it.
"It's okay to be able to speak after his debut, but creation requires a quiet enough environment and enough time. And in the company... I can't help it." If I didn't debut, Yu Yongzhen has the right to let Kang Jae-hee not participate in the company's trainee competition, or to let him not to take some courses he doesn't like. But after his debut, Yu Yongzhen has no right to prevent the company from using Kang Jae-hee to make money.
After all, this is a company, not a Shantang. The better the development, the more severe the artists are. Idol's short life is destined to do unlimited things in a limited time. But if Kang Jae-hee does not develop well, it will have a greater impact on him. Originally, the company is the main promoter. If Kang Jae-hee does not develop well, it will either refrigerate or re-engineer and then set off with others. The group debuts, that's even more terrible... Just look at the successful combination launched by the company, and something will happen in 5 years. Why? It's not because the crush was too harsh at the beginning. And the income is even more terrible.
"It's okay, you know my temperament. And my agent showed me the itinerary after my debut, and there were not many. And I didn't plan to become an artist like Lee Hyo-ri and Rain as soon as I debuted. Besides, even if I failed, I would never come back and continue to be a trainee and learn creation from you. Then I just leave a seat for me in the production department." Kang Jae-hee was very open-minded. From the beginning, he didn't plan to be a top artist. It was not because Kim Taeyeon was destined to enter here, and he was too young.
By the way, he wouldn't be a trainee at all. If he was 5 years older and studied business administration in college, and if Taeyeon debuted, with his uncle here, he could at least be a desk manager, or just happen to be their agent, and after training for a few years, he could be the principal agent. Unfortunately, he was too young. But then again, if he was old enough, how could he be childhood sweethearts with Kim Taeyeon... If he wasn't childhood sweetheart, how could he change his life for Kim Taeyeon...
There is no accurate answer to this question of whether to have chicken or egg first.
