The most powerful person

Author: Chicken and rabbit in the same cage

Although Girls' Generation experienced a significant decline in their performance and data after experiencing various turmoils last year, their fame and national popularity are still there. The golden signboard of the most successful girl group is still shining brightly, and as a girl

As the first solo member of the era, SM Entertainment attaches great importance to Kim Taeyeon's first solo album.

After all, not only Taeyeon, but all the remaining members have more or less added solo requirements in their contract renewals, and if Taeyeon's solo is successful, it will also be a very important and good start for the entire team.

In addition, because of popularity, singing skills and other reasons, SM company is most optimistic about Kim Taeyeon.

Therefore, in addition to arranging Ji Kyung-won to serve as the producer, Lee Soo-man also personally served as the album producer to coordinate. In addition, he also specially invited a professional British composition and production team who had cooperated with the company to partner with them. Several songs

The songs that have been selected for selection are all purchased from well-known European and American musicians, and the resources and budgets provided in various aspects can be said to be very abundant.

To be honest, some of Chi Kyung-yuan's current professional skills, including production experience, are still inferior to those of these music producers who have been immersed in music for many years. In the past few offline and video meetings, various matters regarding Taeyeon's solo were discussed.

During this time, he actually learned a lot from other people.

However, when it comes to artistic creation, compared to standardized processes and sophisticated experience, in many cases, accidental bursts of inspiration may be more important.

Following the feeling that surged in his heart, Chi Jingyuan was operating the music synthesis equipment in front of him, while writing and drawing on paper from time to time. The general melody of the music room emerged intermittently, and he remembered it continuously for a while, and suddenly interrupted for a while.

But they slowly and harmoniously came together unconsciously.

"Well……"

After working for several hours, Chi Jingyuan raised his head, looked at the half-finished piece of music in front of him, and breathed out softly.

Although it was only a half-finished first draft, he was quite satisfied with the melody he had just composed.

However, he is only satisfied with one aspect, and it has to be OK with the owner.

He casually flipped through the notebook that Kim Taeyeon had given him next to him. After thinking about it for a while, Chi Jingyuan took out his cell phone and looked at it. It was already afternoon.

Not knowing whether Kim Taeyeon was in the company at this time, Chi Jingyuan thought about it briefly and then found her number and dialed.

…

"P,A,R,T,Y~~~~ P,A,R,T,Y!"

In Girls' Generation's practice room in the SM company building, eight members are facing the mirror and rehearsing seriously for their upcoming comeback.

The only sounds that could be heard in the entire practice room were the music playing, the footsteps on the wooden floor, and the sounds of some tired breathing. They had been practicing since they finished eating at noon. By now, they had spent a lot of energy and everyone was tired.

no.

However, they are all veterans who have been in the industry for seven or eight years. They have long been accustomed to this kind of work intensity and know what they should do now. Although the eight of them did not speak much, their footsteps and body shapes cooperated very smoothly.

The interspersed movements also showed the tacit understanding accumulated through years of cooperation and hard practice.

"...Okay, let's take a rest."

When everyone was exhausted and sweating profusely even if the air conditioner was turned on in the practice room, they finally heard the fairy voice announcing a break. This sound was like a flood valve being opened. Just now, I was still full of energy.

The SNSD members who were dancing immediately fell down, and several of them lay facelessly on the floor.

After a brief rest, people got drinks, people blew air conditioners, and...

"Taeyeon, do you want to go to the bathroom together?"

Huang Meiying wiped her sweat with a tissue, and then sent an invitation to Kim Taeyeon opposite.

"I……"

Kim Taeyeon, who was sitting there, was just about to reply when the phone in her hand vibrated at the right time. She frowned and glanced at the caller, then immediately blinked with her brows stretched, made a gesture to Huang Meiying and answered the call directly.

"What's wrong with Jingyuan?"

She didn't even say a polite "Hey, don't worry." She directly called the other person's name and got down to the topic. Both the title and the tone seemed very familiar.

After hearing this, the sisters nearby couldn't help but glance at Kim Taeyeon.

"now?"

"Okay, I understand. It's in your music room, right... I'll go there now."

After a few quick exchanges, Kim Taeyeon hung up the phone. The expression on her face suddenly became much clearer, and she quickly jumped up from the ground.

"You can go to the bathroom by yourself... Jingyuan asked me for something, I have to go there... If you don't come back later, you can practice first..."

Kim Taeyeon stood up and briefly explained to Huang Miying and the members next to her, but she did not say what was going on in detail.

They are already very familiar with the dance of the prelude song "Party". They have practiced it for so long from noon to now. Missing her will not have much impact, because it is quite common for one or two people to be missing from practice occasionally due to personal matters or schedules.

For example, before YoonA sunbaenim finished filming two months ago, there were only seven people practicing dance in SNSD.

"Are you in such a hurry?" Huang Meiying curled her lips curiously as she looked at the back of her friend leaving the practice room with her short legs.

Several other members were silent for a few seconds after Kim Taeyeon left, and then looked at each other:

"What do you think she is doing in such a hurry? Or Chi Jingyuan is looking for her."

Although Kim Taeyeon didn't say it clearly, the members are actually not stupid, and they can probably guess a thing or two.

"It should be a solo thing. Isn't Jingyuan the producer of her solo album? You can tell by looking at her expression."

"I also think...Jin Taiyi didn't even ask us to guess. It's really boring..."

"How can you attract men if you are not sultry..."

"Short body can only rely on this."

"ah!"

…

"Nuna, why are you sweating so much?"

Seeing Kim Taeyeon walking in directly after knocking on the door, Chi Jingyuan looked at the glistening sweat stains still remaining on her forehead and asked with some surprise.

This girl came back from the TV station?

"We were practicing just now, aren't we going back soon?"

After Kim Taeyeon came in, she smiled and waved hello, and then she probably knew that she had a bad image now. She looked around as soon as she came in, and then walked to the table next to her and took out a few tissues while talking.

He wiped the sweat off his face bit by bit, and moved gently, which looked very sense: "When you called me, I happened to be resting after practice. I came as soon as I heard what you said.

After taking a look at this girl, who had her hair tied into a braid, wearing a white shirt, denim shorts and white sneakers, which was very suitable for practice in ordinary private clothes, Chi Jingyuan nodded and asked casually, "It won't affect you."

"

"It's okay." Kim Taeyeon waved her hand, looking very grand and majestic as a captain.

Then her expression immediately changed and she looked over with twinkling eyes: "Did you say on the phone that the song was written?"

"Well, I just felt good about it, so I tried to write a little bit. I think it's pretty good."

Chi Jingyuan nodded and motioned for Kim Taeyeon to sit next to him while operating the equipment in front of him: "But it's not completely finished yet. I want Noona to listen to it first and then give me some opinions."

"Put it up, let it go!" Kim Taeyeon slid down and sat next to Chi Jingyuan. Her small body was huddled in the rather large stool, her hands were placed on her legs, and she happily patted her legs continuously.

Piapia's voice and face looked very expectant, just like a very hungry primary school student waiting for the food to be served.

Does this sister know that she was born in 1989?

Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but complain when he saw her reaction, but he didn't stop moving and turned on the player.

"..."

The song that was just completed seems a bit crude. It is just a tune produced by a synthesizer and some drum beats. As for the complicated arrangement and rendering, there are no lyrics or the like.

But the most important melody and rhythm have already come out, and you can already feel the main style and the dream world built through the music that is matched with the notes.

Kim Taeyeon was very engrossed in listening. She closed her eyes as she listened, nodding her head to the rhythm, tapping her fingers lightly on her legs, opening her mouth slightly, and seemed to follow in a very low voice.

Hum.

"Nice, play it again." After listening to it for once, Kim Taeyeon opened her eyes and immediately made a request.

After playing it three times in a row, she was satisfied. She looked at the player in front of her with some unfinished content, her eyes without much makeup shining brightly: "It's really great, just the style I want!"

Seeing her expression, Chi Jingyuan knew that it should be OK. He was also very happy that the song he felt was good could be certified by the owner. He smiled and explained:

"Because Noona, your solo style this time is quite groundbreaking. It is very unique among many SM artists. It is also very different from some of the most popular music styles nowadays, so I specifically lowered the overall rhythm speed.

, and also reduced the frequency of use of electronic music..."

"There is a short melody that I adapted from a foreign language song released last year... Don't worry, this melody is a copyright-free melody and anyone can use it."

"When I was listening, I even started to imagine some corresponding pictures in my mind, which is the style I imagined..."

After listening to Chi Jingyuan's introduction carefully, Kim Taeyeon looked at Chi Jingyuan with surprise: "How do you know this is what I want?"

"Nuna, you told me yourself." Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips and gestured to the side.

Kim Taeyeon turned around and looked, and immediately recognized the notebook spread out on the table next to her that she had given to Chi Jingyuan before, and burst out laughing: "Ah haha."

At that time, she just wanted to have some sense of participation. She hoped that the title song of her first solo would be a song that allowed her to show her true feelings and appearance, so she wrote some messy stuff and gave it to Chi Jing.

source.

She knew very well that her writing was messy, and to be honest, she didn't really have high expectations.
