Chapter 140 Collaboration with IU
As soon as So Ji-seok's agency was made public, it attracted many people's attention and became the center of conversations among people after dinner.
But here, after So Ji-seok was listed, there was no need to be busy with. Anyway, such a large agency only had two artists...
So Ji-seok's '51k' was opened in Gangnam District, and the specific address was 259-12, Lunxiandong. Being able to open an agency in Gangnam District is enough to prove So Ji-seok's money-making ability!
Now, within the '51k' company announced, the only artist is listening to the instructions of the big boss 's attention'.
"Bang!" So Ji-seok picked up the notebook in his hand and rang Kim Jong-kwon who was "listening carefully".
"Hmm? What's wrong? What's wrong? Is it time to have a meal?" Kim Jong-kwon was awakened and looked at So Ji-seok with an upset look on his face.
As the company's big boss, So Ji-seok gave him his first lecture. Kim Jong-kwon didn't give him face and actually dozed off openly. So Ji-seok was very happy.
"Have you listened to me?" Su Ji-seok said helplessly.
"Yeah, I'm listening. Anyway, Brother Ji Seok, you'll decide. I don't have much to do now, only the fixed itinerary of the 'family'." Kim Jong-kwon retracted his body back into the chair and said indifferently.
Kim Jong-kwon really thinks this guy is a bit of a big deal. Even if he has already established a company, there are only two artists who are so formal. Is it also used to hold a meeting to study the issues of return and future development. The result is that So Ji-sup is talking, Kim Jong-kwon is sleeping... Cough cough, listen.
So Ji-seok lost all his passion, and his excitement after establishing the company cooled down. He was so depressed that Kim Jong-kwon got out of here, and asked him to prepare a few songs quickly. Although he was not going to let Kim Jong-kwon stay in the music industry for a long time, these fans who liked them could not give up.
Releasing a few new songs appropriately does not waste time, but also increases popularity and topicality. Why not do it? Of course, the premise is that the quality of the songs is guaranteed, but with Kim Jong-kwon's current reputation, I believe that I will not create disappointing works.
After sending away Kim Jong-kwon, who was excited to take him to a big meal, So Ji-seok also began to process the company's documents.
On the other hand, Kim Jong-kwon went to the last "Seven-Pair Hotel" and enjoyed the food. In order to taste more Chinese cuisine, Kim Jong-kwon ordered different dishes almost every time he went there, which meant that he wanted to eat food all over the world.
As I went there more times, I became familiar with the people in the hotel. I also met the chef who was in the shop several times. He was a generous man over 1.8 meters tall. He had a strong figure in the Chinese character and had a strong aura, but he was very good. He loved to make friends and spoke straightforwardly.
Therefore, every time Kim Jong-kwon goes, the chef will add two dishes to him. If there are fewer customers, he will also drink two drinks with him. After a while, he also has a little bit of forgetting his family. Kim Jong-kwon also likes to get along with this straightforward man, if he doesn't drink too much.
According to this chef from Northeast China, in Northeast China, if any guests come, they must be "accompanied". Then what does "accompanied" mean? It means that you have to drink well. If you don't drink the guests as much as you want or even drink it down, it is not considered accompanied!
Therefore, people in Northeast China are more likely to drink, and people in Northeast China are also famous for being able to drink. And according to the chef, men in Northeast China are very straightforward and like to make friends. If someone comes to Northeast China to drink, they must drink it. Otherwise, they will look down on others.
Kim Jong-kwon also had a little yearning for the Chinese customs described by the chef. He had unknowingly had a good impression of the Northeastern man mentioned. If he had the chance, Kim Jong-kwon would definitely go and take a look.
Since the chef has talked about so much about his hometown, he naturally won’t be able to do it himself. So every time he drinks, he has a desperate attitude. If he is not still running a restaurant, his wife and daughter will persuade him. Kim Jong-kwon may not dare to drink with him in the future.
This is the first time in his 20 years of life that Kim Jong-kwon has seen such a person who can drink such a drink. A white wine of over 40 degrees can be filled with a cup of 3 taels. He took a sip and half of it and killed a cup in two sips!
Kim Jong-kwon also tried it, his brows frowned in a ball. He knew that not everyone could drink white wine like this, so he had to sip it honestly. For this kind of white wine of more than 40 degrees, the chef could drink two pounds, and there was nothing to do, but his face was a little red and his eyes could see a little drunk. Then he could cook quickly and cook without delaying any trouble.
He couldn't do it anymore. Once he accompanied the chef to drink 1 pound of white wine, and fell asleep on the table and didn't even know how he would go home. In the chef's words, it would be a piece of drink!
Since then, Kim Jong-kwon's look at the chef has been wrong. If Chinese people can drink it so well, he really has to consider whether he really has to go there and go around. God knows if he can still come back!
.........
In the next few days, Kim Jong-kwon picked two works he recorded before, and the interlude he sang in "The Brilliant Legacy" totaled 3 songs. He was ready to record them directly and then release a single. He still took the fine line.
If Kim Jong-kwon wants to record a regular album, it is very simple. Whether he creates it himself or asks someone to invite songs, it is actually not difficult for him.
However, for a regular album, almost only the title song is the best, and can show the main position. The other songs almost have the meaning of filling the numbers, and the quality is uneven.
If you ask someone to invite a song, it will probably be the same. It is impossible for an album to be a title song or have the quality of a title song. If you buy more than a dozen title songs and put them in an album, then this person must be crazy!
Even if Kim Jong-kwon can really write so many high-quality songs, it cannot be wasted! What's more, the songs he recorded only account for a small part of them suitable for him to sing. It can be said that one song is less than one song, so of course he has to plan for the future.
Even if you are not prepared to regard singers as your main business, and occasionally release a few singles to show your presence and increase your popularity is also a good choice!
Last time, Kim Jong Kwon and So Ji-sup formed a '51k' combination and released a mini album of the same name, "51k", and the two actors rushed into the ballad industry.
Now, ‘51k’ is no longer the name of a group or album. It has now become an agency and has become the base camp where Kim Jong Kwon and So Ji-seok settle down.
After playing in the song world happily once, So Ji-seok fulfilled his wish. Now he has his own agency and becomes the president. Naturally, he will not make any combination with Kim Jong-kwon anymore. Their '51k' combination has indeed become a shock that only appears once as I thought.
Therefore, Kim Jong-kwon had to fight alone.
Fortunately, Kim Jong-kwon is still a little clever. Last time, in order to help Girls' Generation, I brought many of their members to make feats. And the effect is pretty good. With Kim Jong-kwon's current fame, almost no one will reject his request as long as he sends an invitation.
Therefore, Kim Jong-kwon is preparing to re-use the same trick. Isn’t the combination disbanded? It’s okay, there are some temporary ones.
This time, Kim Jong Kwon is only going to release three songs, namely "As Heavy Like Death", "A Woman Who Can't Break Up, a Man Who Can't Leave", and the interlude "Love Is Punishment" he wrote for "The Brilliant Legacy".
The three songs describe content about love, and the same sad style as before. Moreover, in addition to "Love is Punishment", the other two songs require female feat, which is also the hipp style.
3 songs are exactly the limit of singles. If there are more, it will be an ep, which is the mini album released by Kim Jong Kwon last time. Usually, 1 to 3 songs belong to singles, 4 to 8 songs belong to ep, and if there are more, it will be a regular album.
Moreover, if there are only 3 songs, Kim Jong-kwon can not only ensure the quality of the songs, make a reputation of "Jong-kwon's production, it must be a fine product", but also will not over-consuming one of his few excellent works. This will not waste too much time, but will also cultivate more fans who like him.
It can be considered a lot of benefits.
But, the question is, who should I find? After thinking about it, Kim Jong-kwon thought of two very suitable candidates, Ji In Nuna and Lee Cho-ding. As for Girls' Generation, they are busy now, Kim Jong-kwon doesn't want to bother them, and he feels that his style does not match them this time, and he may not be able to sing the feeling he wants.
After thinking about it, it was the unexpected feeling of Bai Ji-young and iu that suited the style of these two songs. Bai Ji-young sang such a sad atmosphere song, which was simply awesome. For iu, although he was only 15 years old, his debut song "lostchild" was not a childish song. Both the style and the content were relatively mature, and he was also a sad type of song.
In addition to her voice, the others are impeccable. Both singing skills and emotional grasping are done well. Of course, the premise is that in the recording studio and on the stage, iu cannot perform such a perfect performance, which is why Kim Jong-kwon thinks she is unstable.
This time, I took the opportunity to see the results of iu's adjustments during this period and help her. The newcomer still needs exposure very much. Without the help of his seniors, it would be really painful. Kim Jong-kwon has a deep understanding of this!
Chapter completed!
