Chapter 3 Decision【Revised】
"Hello, Teacher Jin, these are my new lyrics. Please take a look." Jiang Wuyou bowed calmly to the fashionable woman sitting behind the desk, and then handed over a folder.
"Wuyou, you don't have to be so nervous. This is not the first time I wrote lyrics. I saw that the "u" you wrote last time had a good response." As he said, the woman pulled out the manuscript with the lyrics, "Well, you sit there, I'll take a look at your work this time."
Jiang Wuyou shook her head with a wry smile, and obediently sat on the sofa next to her while observing the female producer.
Kim Jong is her full name, which sounds very masculine, but she herself is a very charming, or charming talented woman. At the age of 30, she doesn't look much older than the trainees in the company. Perhaps it would be an exaggeration to describe her as natural beauty. Not only is she beautiful, she is also an ace lyricist within the company. Since 2003, she has been responsible for all the Korean albums of Senior Boa, and she is also responsible for the title song of Senior Dongfang Shenqi's first regular album. Thinking of this, Kang Gou-woo is becoming more and more grateful to Sister Ji-young who has gone to the United States. If it weren't for the relationship between Park Ji-young and Kim Jong, and the entrustment of Park Ji-young before leaving, Kim Jong would probably not have been so concerned about Kang Gou-woo and gave such great help.
"Yeah, Goo-woo," finally, Kim Jong quickly scanned the lyrics, carefully considered the lyrics in his mind, and finally spoke, "You should have written the lyrics in Chinese first and then translated them into Korean, right?"
Jiang Wuyou felt a little embarrassed, "Yes, Teacher Jin. You know, after all, Chinese is my native language, I am used to thinking in Chinese and…"
Kim Jong quickly waved his hand and interrupted him, "I'm not saying that this is wrong, but you can see, if this paragraph is in Chinese, it should be very coherent and good at the end. But when you look at the translated Korean language, it usually ends with 'Eur', 'Ah' or 'En'. Although your translation here is very good, it sounds a bit sad for the singers and even the listeners. Do you understand here?"
Jiang Wuyou lowered his head again, "I know Teacher Jin, I won't make this problem again next time."
"This is not a problem, but it's only been a year since I started learning lyrics and music creation. Your language habits have not adapted to Korean. This is not a big problem. Which song can be perfect for the first time? Don't it take continuous modification and addition to barely reach the perfect state? Just like the last song "u", did you change it for almost three months? Don't be discouraged, experience should be slowly cultivated and trained. Okay, let's continue to talk about this song..."
I have to say that Jin Jingshi is a very good teacher. The explanation process is very detailed, and she can usually point out the problem to the point. Moreover, her music knowledge is also very profound, and she feels that she is not much worse than that of ordinary university lecturers. She often divergent thinking, such as choosing the content of words, talking about the historical changes between various words, etc.
For those who can indulge in the teaching and learning of knowledge, time always passes quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the sun above the head turns into the moon. After looking at the time, Kim Jong said to Kang Goo-woo, "I'll be here for the time being. If you have time this weekend, come to my house and we'll talk about this song carefully."
…………………………………………………………………………
"Hello, Teacher Jin," Kang Goo-woo handed over a bag of apples that Kim Jong brought himself.
This is not the first time I have been to Kim Jong's house. Over the past year, as long as Kang Goo-woo makes new songs, Kim Jong will definitely ask Kang Goo-woo to come to his house. One is to better communicate with both parties, and the other is to allow Kang Goo-woo to have a good meal. Although Kang Goo-woo usually eats and lives in the company and does not have to spend money. The trainee contract can also earn him a little pocket money for an occasional meal outside. However, it was Park Ji-young's instructions back then. Under the conditions, Kim Jong naturally helped him. However, her responsibilities have not yet reached the level of changing the producer's candidates for launching new combinations, so she has never helped Kang Goo-woo in the selection of super.junior.
"By the way, my niece is here today, so you can meet me." Kim Jong called out into the room, "Mi Young, come out to meet your trainee senior."
"Senior trainee?" Jiang Wuyou was a little surprised. Could this "Mei Ying" also be a trainee at S.M company?
Just as she was thinking, a girl with long hair draped over her shoulders walked out of the room. At first glance, Jiang Wuyou only felt one color - pink slippers, pink scarf, and pink bracelet. Especially against the backdrop of her white sweater, the pink colors looked even more dazzling. Looking at the girl's beautiful face, Jiang Wuyou always felt familiar. She was thinking about when she saw this "Mei Ying", but the other party exclaimed.
"Senior Dance King?" Meiying's little hands suddenly covered her mouth, but the scream had already blurted out.
"Haha, I remember, you are the one who often practices singing with Hyun Kyung, eh, right?" It seems that he said a name that should not be mentioned, and Kang Gou-woo smiled a little embarrassed and forced. Originally, the name of the dance king was originally owned by Hot's senior, and later it was Zheng Yunho, who was from Dongfang Shenqi (it should have been Senior Lee Min-woo, but because of the departure of the myth, the trainees dared not talk about it publicly). During the days when he formed the super.junior, Kang Gou-woo, who had always maintained the top three trainee dance competitions, had the biggest voice, and his dancing strength really conquered most of the trainees, but he did not conquer the heart of the planner. The two additions of the super.junior did not choose him, and the title of "Dance King" that originally made him proud also became an inexplicable irony.
"Senior, do you still remember me?" It seemed like a feeling of affirmation that made Huang Meiying very happy. Her already beautiful eyes also turned into a thin crescent moon, which made Jiang Wuyou, who was still a little embarrassed, unable to help but feel happy.
Perhaps it was because of their status as foreigners that the two quickly found a common topic. Although one was Chinese nationality and the other was American nationality, the difference in age made them not very unfamiliar. However, most of the chat was Jiang Wuyou correcting Huang Mi-young's pronunciation.
"You are wrong, it's 'baosan', not 'baisa'. The one in front is a gem, and the one in the back is a mushroom. I read to me, 'baosan', 'baisa'."
"baisa" Huang Meiying was a little confused. The word alone had been read by Jiang Wuyou on the other side for almost half an hour. If Meiying alone still didn't understand, what was wrong with what she said? Are these two pronunciations not the same?
Jiang Wuyou was speechless. The repeated explanation for half an hour gave him a headache. Especially the little confused opposite, he couldn't even tell such a simple pronunciation, which really made Jiang Wuyou helpless. He really wanted to knock on her little head to make her open. Fortunately, at this time, Kim Jong came out of the study and asked Jiang Wuyou to go over and discuss the lyrics, otherwise he wouldn't guarantee that he would be able to hold back in half an hour.
"Wuyou, today we won't discuss the grammar issue of the lyrics. Let's talk about the artistic conception of the lyrics." After Kang Wuyou sat down, Kim Jong stared at him for more than ten minutes before speaking, "Well, are you planning to leave s.m?"
"..." Jiang Wuyou lowered his head and said nothing.
"I understand your feeling. Super.junior does not have your position for the time being. There are various reasons. However, s.m company is one of the top major companies in China. After all, it still has the ability to promote stars. Don't give up because of this time. The company will definitely launch a new boy group group. By that time, you still have a great chance." Kim Jong was also disappointed with Jiang Wuyou's failure to be super.junior, and even complained about the company in his heart, but at this moment she was still persuading Jiang Wuyou.
"Teacher Jin," Jiang Wuyou said softly, "There are senior Dongfang Shenqi in front of me, and then super.junior is another large group of 13 people. In a short period of time, will the company have a new boy group plan? I am 18 years old, and I also understand that at least within three years, there will be no new boy group plan of the same type in the same type. I am from the same age as them, and the company will no longer do boy group plan of the same type. I have been training in the company for almost 7 years. In another two years, will I still have a chance to debut at the age of 20?" The voice came from Jiang Wuyou's mouth, although it was low, but it felt a sense of desolation.
"Just as I wrote, 'I walked towards the faint light in countless unknown roads'. Now the company can no longer give me that light, and I can no longer wait." Jiang Wuyou's voice was full of despair, and Kim Jong could not give a positive answer when he heard this.
"Wuyou, have you really made up your mind? If you switch to another company now, you may not get the chance." Kim Jong is also full of affection for this hard-working child. Whether he is working overtime to practice dance or following him to learn lyrics and songwriting for more than two years, she does not want this child to have no clear future after leaving the s.m company. She still wants to persuade her, and looked at Jiang Wuyou's appraisal look, and had to swallow the words in her throat and start to make suggestions for his future.
"If you really want to leave, jyp, dsp, mnet, in my opinion, is your best choice. jyp values dance more, your dancing talent can be fully utilized, dsp company, Xu Yongsheng is very familiar with you? He has just debuted, but this company has never been a foreign trainee, you have to think carefully. I think mnet company is actually the best choice, and they launched SGwannabe in 2004, which is about 3 years since now. I guess they are preparing new plans. With your strength, I think you still have a great chance."
It has to be said that Kim Jong is also very attentive to Kang Gouwoo's future development. In fact, famous Korean entertainment companies include yg, cj, etc., but their style is too close to Kang Gouwoo, so they have no recommendations. For some other small companies, Kim Jong is also worried that they will invest too much in Kang Gouwoo. After all, Kang Gouwoo's foreign identity will make him spend more energy in the Korean entertainment industry than locals. After careful selection, he finally chose these three powerful large companies.
Looking at Kang Gou-woo's thoughtful look, Kim Jong knew he was still thinking. After looking at the lyrics of Kang Gou-woo on the desk, he thought about it and asked: "Wu-woo, this song..."
Kang Goo-woo, who seemed to have made a decision, looked at the pages on the table and paused, "If possible, I want to leave it to Mi-young. I remember she is now teaming up with Kwon Yuri, Kim Hyoyeon, and Jung Soo-yeon, maybe it was a preparation. You can also see that the song will be better if it is sung by girls than boys, and I have a good relationship with them. I hope to give this song to them as a gift I gave her, and there will be a commemoration for practicing with everyone over the years."
"What about the name? Do you have any ideas?"
