Chapter 72: Music Selection and Preaching

Perhaps he performed very well under pressure. On the night he talked with Lee Hyo-ri, Kang Goo-woo was excited to create the soundtrack of three versions of "u-go-girl". Although it was just a pure paper format, he felt good about himself, so the next day he rushed to Lee Hyo-ri's exclusive recording studio in MNET.

In the recording studio, Jiang Wuyou only saw the three producers yesterday. Sister Hyori and other variety shows, which probably won’t come today. So, Jiang Wuyou happened to discuss the songs he created with these people. As a producer of Lee Hyori for many years, these musical strength is actually not inferior to those who are already famous. It’s just because of exposure. In the eyes of ordinary people, these people seem to be unknown characters.

They hummed three versions of the song in turn, and the three of them looked at each other and made a judgment in their hearts. However, none of them said it, but the main producer in charge of the album asked Jiang Wuyou.

"Wuyou, can you tell us what your definition of this song is? What do you feel?" The producer surnamed Jin grabbed his hip-hop hair and asked Kang Wuyou with a serious look on his face.

Maybe it was because the other party was the producer of Lee Hyo-ri's album, and the other party was also asking his own questions seriously. Kang Woo-woo also sat upright and answered, "According to Sister Hyo-ri, it's sexy..."

Kim Yoo-woo waved his hand and interrupted Kang Wu-woo, "Let's not talk about Hyo-ri's thoughts for now. What I'm asking about your feelings now. How do you feel about the lyrics of "u-go-girl"?" As he said, Kim Yoo-woo picked up the lyrics with his right hand and asked Kang Wu-woo in a shaking manner.

Jiang Wuyou was choked by the other party for a while, then he answered stutteringly, "What do I feel? This, I think the lyrics of this song are a bit confusing, the little girl's feeling is not sexy, but a bit dynamic."

After listening to Kang Wuyou's answer, Jin Zhi looked around and looked at the other people.

"Which song do you think it is?" Jin Xie asked the one sitting on his left.

Jiang Wuyou looked at him and found that a slightly fat man in black Uesugi was sitting there, wearing glasses, looking very gentle. Jiang Wuyou vaguely remembered that when he introduced yesterday, he seemed to say that he was a recording engineer. The man picked up the coffee placed on the table, blew a sip, and replied with contempt, "Is there any need to ask?"

"That's right, everyone has been working together for so long, can this feel besides?" Another man, who looked like an excited monkey, shouted, "Of course the second version is the best."

The recording studio, which had just taken a sip of coffee, almost sprayed out all the coffee in her mouth with a "poof". After wiping her mouth with a piece of paper in panic, she asked in surprise, "What? Isn't the third song better?"

"What, he said 'dynamic' himself. Don't you feel 'dynamic' in the prelude of the second version and the excessive part of the middle, and the drum beats?"

"What are you concerned about in the prelude? It depends on the main part! The composition of the third song and the lyrics are not much better than the interlude?"

"If the prelude cannot bring the listeners into the music feeling, no matter how good you sing, what's the use of it!"

"What's the important thing about the prelude? The prelude is nice, and then it's scolded badly when singing the song? You still can't make a producer?"

Kim Chiang scratched his head and looked back at Kang Gou-woo who was already shocked by the two of them, and pushed it gently, "Don't care about them. These two guys often quarreled like this, and I've been used to it. But what they said is indeed very reasonable." He spread out the three songs of Kang Gou-woo one by one, Kim Chiang pointed to the first part and said to Kang Gou-woo, "First, the first part. For this part, I guess you wrote the so-called "sexy" version according to Hyo-ri's requirements? It's not bad. Let's analyze it. Although there are indeed 'sexy' ingredients in it, such as using a vortex style, which is very good. But when it comes to the lyrics, there are actually no real seductive words. Then the form of the music is wrong. So, the first part is eliminated." Kim Chiang packed the first part and threw it on the idle chair next to it.

Seeing Kang Goo-woo's aggrieved look, Kim Sao said first, "I know you want to use Hyo-ri as saying, 'She said she wants to be sexy', but in fact, sexy doesn't have to be reflected in the singing of the song. I'll talk about this later."

Putting the remaining two pieces left and right, Jin Zhi spoke again, "The second one, just as we monkey said," ignoring the murderous vision he called the 'monkey', Jin Zhi continued in a normal tone, "The prelude and accompaniment are highlights. Especially these two fast-paced layered syllable climbs really give people a feeling of excitement. Therefore, as a prelude, it can quickly get the listener into the excited state, which is really good. However, on the other hand, why slow down the speed in the singing part? This part is somewhat similar to the first music, and it seems that you are planning to fill in the 'sexy'?"

Seeing Jiang Wuyou nodding, Kim Chiang didn't say anything, but pointed to the third part, "Let's talk about the third part, which is exactly the opposite of the second part. Although the main part is dynamic, the prelude is too slow, right? Although this style is very common, it is not really used well, but not many. What everyone uses does not mean that it must be good. And it must be matched with the whole song. I guess your idea should be to make the song feel gradual?"

Seeing Kang Goo-woo nodding affirmatively, Kim Sai said seriously, "Then, this song will have no center of gravity at all. It is a simple way to condense from ordinary people and slowly reach climax. This is the method of the movie. But the song cannot be done like this. What the song needs is to capture the audience's attraction at once." Kim Sai turned his eyes and changed his words, "So, you are also a singer of overseas albums, right? Do you know why you should release the trailer first?"

Although he didn't understand why the other party said that, Jiang Wuyou frowned and thought about it before answering cautiously, "To promote the singer?"

Jin Zhi shook his head, "You can't say it's wrong. Then tell me, how does it promote the singer?"

Jiang Wuyou habitually touched his nose, "The trailer version is usually edited by MV clips, and usually the climax part of the song..." Speaking of this, Jiang Wuyou suddenly understood what the other party meant.

Seeing Jiang Wuyou's expression, Jin Zhi nodded, "Yes, it's the climax part of the song, because the climax part of the song is the key to attracting the audience. Why do you say that? Because the climax part captures the listener's ears. A movie has at least one hour, so it needs a trough and a climax to make the viewer not boring. Because for a movie that takes at least 60 minutes, if it is all climax, it will be considered as no climax. But the songs are different. Music about 4 minutes can actually be considered fleeting. In order to grasp the listener's ears, the music needs to firmly grasp them at the very beginning so that they will not relax and distract themselves. In this way, a song can be considered successful music."

Jiang Wuyou asked strangely, "If you say so, why can't the second song work? Didn't it capture the audience's 'ears' as you said in the prelude?"

Jin Zhi picked up the second score again and pointed it to Kang Wuyou, "Here, there is also here. The prelude is obviously a very cheerful drum beat, but why did it suddenly turn into slow charming music? It is very incompatible with the front and back. If these two parts belong to different songs, then both are very good, and they can even be said to be perfect, but you put them together..."

Jiang Wuyou nodded suddenly. When he finished his creation, because he was quite excited, he could not calm down to feel whether the front and back matched. In fact, this part of "temptation, sexy" was also derived from the first score.

Jin Zhi put the score on the table, pointed at the two scores with his left and right hands, and smiled, "The third song has been mentioned just now, so I won't say much. However, fortunately you wrote three copies. In fact, you can combine the second song with the third song. The prelude and accompaniment of the second song, and the main song of the third song. Both are in the 'happy' type, and the styles are similar, so it won't be too difficult to integrate them. At most, it will take a lot of time to adjust the details."

Speaking of this, Kim Sao looked at Kang Goo-woo with a playful look on his face, "Didn't you expect that you have a strong ability to create? You can actually create three songs in just one night?"

Jiang Wuyou smiled shyly, "Aren't they all denied? What is denied means that the creation is not up to standard?"

Jin Zhi shook his head, "You can't say that. The songs created by the songwriter must be famous songs. Everyone has been growing up through hundreds of compositions. Moreover, your inspiration is actually the most enviable thing for all songwriters. Don't be discouraged by this little thing. Your prospects are brighter than many people."

Kang Wuyou lowered her head shyly. When she saw the song on the table, she suddenly remembered the sentence "Sexiness does not have to be reflected in the singing of the song" by Kim just now. He didn't understand the meaning and asked quickly.

Jin Zhi grabbed his head and thought for a long time before he squeezed out a passage, "Well, you have to think like this. In music, the expression of sexy is divided into three points: lyrics, music, singing. The temptation of lyrics, the confusion of music, and the charm of singing. What developed later is dance. As for this song "u-go-girl", you also understand the positioning of the lyrics, 'dynamic' rather than 'sexy'. Then, based on this lyrics, it is very difficult to be sexy. Imagine singing lyrics that inspire people to work hard with a charming voice. What is this picture?"

Jiang Wuyou imagined it in her mind and had a cold war.

The more you talk, the more excited the Jin Zhishua strikes while the iron is hot, "But the dance is different. The dance can express the temptation to the fullest. Don't forget what the three words "Lee Hyo-ri" represent. Her dance represents a kind of charm. No matter what kind of dance it is, it can completely attract all men and even women under her performance."

Looking at Jiang Wuyou nodding intriguedly and the contemptuous eyes of the two colleagues beside him, Jin Sheng concealed the sweat on his head and muttered in a low voice, "I finally covered it up."
