Entertaining Children

  Chapter 945 Unique Phenomena

  There are a total of six Korean TV hit song programs, one every day from Tuesday to Sunday, among which the four more well-known and influential are from Thursday to Sunday.

  Today is Thursday. The sound source of the song "Expectation" written by Xiao Yao to Gstar was launched on several sound source websites in South Korea early this morning. Their journey of playing songs began on Friday.

   Xiao Yao is not a member of KM Entertainment. Xiao Yao does not need to be accompanied when Gstar goes to the TV station's song show. Xiao Yao went to the SBS TV station to do rehearsal rehearsals with the program group. It was arranged on Saturday afternoon. After recording his own songs on Thursday and Friday, Xiao Yao had some free time on Saturday morning, so he contacted another person in South Korea. An acquaintance, Liu Youyuan, a South Korean singer who I met on "Singer", went to pay a visit.

  Liu Woo Won is a powerful singer-songwriter who belongs to a South Korean entertainment company called YPL. In addition to being the company's artist, he also serves as the company's music director and vocal teacher.

After receiving Xiao Yao's call, Liu Youyuan, who was working in the company, directly invited Xiao Yao to meet in their company.

  When Xiao Yao arrived at Liu Youyuan’s company, Liu Youyuan was already very polite at the company’s door. Xiao Yao's relationship with Liu Youyuan is not as close as Hong Xiuyan's, but the two spent a long time together on "Singer", and the relationship is quite good.

After a warm embrace, Liu Youyuan also took Xiao Yao for a brief tour of the company. YPL is a medium-sized entertainment company in South Korea. Its scale is not comparable to that of KM. There is no overseas branch, so there is no head office. The company is just a five-story building, which looks far inferior to KM's headquarters. The building is so grand.

  After walking around, Xiao Yao discovered that this company is "small but complete with all internal organs." The internal environment and facilities of the company are quite good.

  Take Xiao Yao for a brief tour of the company, Liu Youyuan brought Xiao Yao into his office, and the two also chatted about their recent developments.

Liu Youyuan participated in "Singer" that year because he wanted to open up his market in China. After "Singer" ended, he also participated in some activities in China. However, his development in China as a Korean was not particularly smooth, so it was almost only after half a year. , Liu Youyuan did not go to China again.

  Although Liu Youyuan's development in China is not smooth, he has hardly visited China for more than a year, but Liu Youyuan has always paid attention to Xiao Yao, who impressed him the most on "Singer". The two did not completely cut off contact after "Singer", and occasionally contacted and greeted him, so when Xiao Yao came to Korea this time, he thought of visiting Liu Youyuan.

  Liu Youyuan knows that Xiao Yao’s main purpose for coming to Korea this time is to participate in the film festival. When chatting, he smiled and reminisced about the old things that Xiao Yao had emphasized in the "Singer" program several times that he was an actor that made Hong Wei unhappy.

  However, Liu Youyuan is a singer and has not been involved in the film and television industry, so he didn't talk much about film and television and Xiao Yao's actor status. After a brief congratulation, he still put the main topic on music.

   "Xiao Yao, the new song "Expectation" by KM company girl group Gstar is your work? I heard it, and it feels very good!" Liu Youyuan smiled and praised Xiao Yao.

  Talking about music, Liu Youyuan naturally talked about Xiao Yao’s writing songs for KM’s Gstar. As the artist and management of a Korean entertainment company, Liu Youyuan must be very concerned about things in the Korean music circle. The song "Expectation" written by Xiao Yao for Gstar is already online on the music website. The song's songwriter is Xiao Yao's English name, and it is impossible for Liu Youyuan to notice it.

   "Thank you, Brother Youyuan!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"It seems that you are very good at writing Korean songs. I don't know if there are any other Korean songs in your hand?" Liu Youyuan continued, "Our company has a girl group preparing to debut. Recently, we are looking for songs for them, but there is no one yet. I found too many satisfactory songs."

   "Brother You Yuan wanted to invite me to invite you to a song?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Well," Liu Youyuan nodded, "When I participated in the show in China that year, I was very impressed with your creative talent. Xiuyanxi's "Thorn Tree" and RedSilk's "alone" are both your Korean works, I In fact, I have long planned to invite you to invite songs, just thinking that you are here to participate in the film festival this time. There may be many activities. I don’t want to disturb you. I originally wanted to wait for the end of the film festival before contacting you to talk about it. You took the initiative to contact me and came here again, then I will tell you formally."

   "So I brought it here by myself?" Xiao Yao smiled.

   "You can say so." Liu Youyuan smiled and nodded.

"I want to explain first, the copyright of my songs and works are generally in my own hands, and they are authorized by singers or other companies to cooperate in the form of revenue sharing." Xiao Yao first emphasized, "but Don't worry, I usually don't give a song to two singers or groups that are in direct competition at the same time."

   "There is no problem with this," Liu Youyuan smiled, "We are not a giant company like KM, and the division model is acceptable."

"Well, we have the prerequisites for cooperation. But if there are suitable songs, I can't guarantee this." Xiao Yao nodded and continued to ask, "You help the women's group invite songs because you want "Expectation "Song like that? By the way, I also compiled the dance for Gstar to perform this song. Do you need me to compose a dance that matches the song?"

"You choreographed their dance?" Liu Youyuan was surprised, and then stretched out his thumb. "I watched Gstar's comeback stage at the Music Bank yesterday. That strap dance is great! It's worthy of composing "alone" "That kind of **** dance choreography!"

"But I don't need that kind of song, nor that kind of dance." Liu Youyuan continued, "To be honest, the style of the girl group that our company is going to launch is not the same as that of Gstar, and it's not the same as many mainstream girl groups in Korea. The style is also different."

  "Different from other women's groups?" Xiao Yao repeated suspiciously.

   "Well," Liu Youyuan nodded, "The girl group we are going to launch is called SYS..."

   "Wait, what do you say their group name is?" Xiao Yao interrupted.

"SYS!" Liu Youyuan replied, suddenly remembering the business card Xiao Yao had given him, and then smiled, "This group has only three members, and SYS is the first English letter of their names. I am now I just remembered that your fashion brand is also these three English letters. Is this what you Chinese people call fate?"

   "This..." Xiao Yao smiled speechlessly, and stretched out his hand to signal Liu Youyuan to continue, "You should continue to say how they are different from other women's groups."

"The three of them are basically taught by me. They are all very good in singing, and the harmony is also perfect, but in terms of dance, it is not very prominent." Liu Youyuan continued, "The company's positioning for them is one Combinations that focus on singing skills, the dance aspect is not necessarily absent, but it will not be the focus. The more difficult dances, they probably do not dance well. So I hope that the songs I find for them mainly reflect the singing skills, the most Fortunately, without dancing, you can conquer the audience on the stage with songs alone."

"It only sings and not dances. It is a girl singing group. Where is the girl group? But South Korea seems to call the group a group, maybe there is no such thing as a singing group." Xiao Yao thought for a while and laughed. To Liu Youyuan said, "A girl group that only sings and does not dance is indeed different from the mainstream girl group in Korea. Your girl group is a bit anti-traditional!"

"Our company is different from KM. The artists launched are all with certain characteristics." Liu Youyuan laughed, "For more than ten or two decades, there are also some girl groups in South Korea who are only good at singing and don't dance much. Yes. Ours can only be said to be anti-trend, not anti-traditional, right? Maybe, we can say that our girl group is a retro girl group?"

   "Retro?" Xiao Yao's heart moved, thinking of a few Korean songs around the millennium of his previous life.

  Previous life, from the late 1990s to the early 21st century, was the period when China was just exposed to Hallyu stars. Although Li Hao, who was still a high school student in his previous life, was not an early Kazakh and Korean clan, he was also impressed with the songs of some Korean girl groups and liked it very much. Since Liu Youyuan said that he wants to go back to life, are songs that are slightly older in the previous life just right?

"I accepted the invitation to the song!" Xiao Yao thought about it for a while and said to Liu Youyuan, "but your girl group hasn't debuted yet, and there must be no videos of their performances on the Internet. I haven't even seen them face to face. I don’t know how well they sing, this song is not easy to write."

"So you want to meet them first and have to audition?" Liu Youyuan said, "No problem! It's not early now, I will invite you to dinner at noon, and in the afternoon I will let them come to the company to meet you and arrange the recording studio for you Listen to their singing!"

"Not today," Xiao Yao shook his head. "I will go to SBS TV station to rehearse in the afternoon. If it goes well, I will also go to SBS TV station's special stage performance tomorrow. These two days will be relatively busy. Next Monday I will come to your company to talk to them. Let’s meet, Brother Youyuan, can you arrange it, okay?"

   "Are you going to SBS TV station to participate in a special stage performance, "Popular Songs"?" Liu Youyuan said in surprise.

   "Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded and smiled, "What? Brother Woo Won can go to our China's "Singer" to sing, can't I go to your Korean TV show to sing?"

"Of course not," Liu Youyuan laughed, "It's just that there are more popular idols on hit shows. We also have "Singer" programs in Korea. People like you should go to "Singer" programs to talk to the singers. Compare it!"

"I've already participated in Huaxia's "Singer". There shouldn't be much difference between the Korean version, right? On the contrary, the hit song show is currently not available in Huaxia. I also took the opportunity to see and see." Xiao Yao laughed, "and I'm here this time. It is estimated that South Korea will only stay for about two weeks at most. You can only go to the song show once, but if you are participating in "Singer", it will take a few months!

   "That's right!" Liu Youyuan smiled and nodded, "I wish you a successful performance in the song show and get one!"

   "Brother, my Korean song hasn't been released yet. I went to a special stage, and I didn't participate in the selection of the show!" Xiao Yao smiled helplessly.

   "Huh?" Liu Youyuan smiled embarrassedly, and changed his words, "Then I wish you success in your performance and attract a large number of fans in Korea!"

  After agreeing on work matters, the two chatted for a while. When it was noon, Liu Youyuan insisted on making a party and asking Xiao Yao for lunch, but Xiao Yao did not refuse. After lunch, Xiao Yao bid farewell to Liu Youyuan and went back to the hotel to rest for a while. After the staff sent by KM company came to the hotel, Xiao Yao went to SBS TV under the leadership of the staff of KM to conduct a rehearsal for the special stage of "Popular Songs".

Xiao Yao also prepared a Korean song that was very popular in his previous life for the special stage of this show. The quality is not good. Xiao Yao's performance is also very good. The program team passed smoothly and agreed that Xiao Yao would be special on Sunday. stage performance.

On Sunday, SBS’s "Popular Songs" is a program on Gstar’s singing itinerary. Xiao Yao’s participation in this program is specially recommended by KM Entertainment to the TV station. Whether it is going to rehearsal or formal performances, people from KM Entertainment must be accompanied. , So on Sunday afternoon, Xiao Yao and the five girls from Gstar went to the TV station together.

  Gstar, as a girl group that has already debuted, the company arranged an exclusive nanny car when it came out to run the itinerary. Although there is still room in their nanny car, and Xiao Yao can fit it in, after all, Xiao Yao is a guest and partner of KM Entertainment, so KM also prepared another nanny car for Xiao Yao.

Although they did not ride in the same car, they came with him after all, and Xiao Yao was a KM person in a sense when he participated in the show. Therefore, after Gstar's nanny car arrived first, the five girls did not get out of the car right away. After entering the TV station, he waited specifically for Xiao Yao's vehicle to arrive before getting off the car, and walked towards the TV station gate with Xiao Yao.

   "Gstar!"

   "Gstar!"

  When a group of people walked to the door of the TV station, some of the fans waiting at the door of the TV station shouted loudly with various support signs.

  In South Korea, it’s not uncommon for fans to wait for idols at the door of an artist company, let alone at the door of a TV station. The recording time of "Inkigayo" is not a secret. At this time of the week, fans are here waiting to meet and support idols. Gstar recently ran a hit show, and the schedule was announced to the fans a long time ago, so it's not surprising that there are their fans here.

   "Thank you everyone!" The five girls saw fans shouting for help, stopped and smiled and bowed and waved to them.

   "Yuni, can you shake hands with you?" a young man among the fans suddenly stretched out his hands and shouted.

  The young man looked like he was only about twenty years old, and he dressed like a student. Seeing his face flushed a little, Yuni seemed to be a little shy and nervous. He was the only one in the entire fan group who made a request, so he smiled and nodded, and walked to the boy.

  The young man yelled excitedly when he saw Yuni approaching. His hands with the palms facing down stood up, and the right hand extended to Yuni closed.

   Seeing that the young man's hands were about to hold Yuni's right hand, someone next to him suddenly reached out and grabbed the young man's right wrist, and then twisted it to his back.

   "Ah~" The young man's right hand was twisted behind him, and he immediately screamed loudly.

   "Ah!" Yuni was also taken aback by this sudden surprise. After looking up and seeing that the person twisting the right hand of the fan in front of him was Xiao Yao, he immediately asked in a loud voice, "Xiao Yaoxi, what are you doing?!"

"Hehe, I didn't expect that the first time I came to Korea to participate in a TV show, I saw a phenomenon unique to the Korean entertainment industry!" Xiao Yao smiled, did not answer Yuni, but turned to Pei Minyi and said, "Minyi, take out your phone. Take a video and take a close-up shot of his hand, lest anyone say that I hit someone for no reason!"

   "Hand?" Yuni and the others looked at the person's right hand curiously, and immediately shouted in shock, "Blade?! God, Anti!"
