My Daughter is a Music Genius

185

Jo Sung-hyun put his hand on Chae-yoon’s head and thought for a moment.

What should I do?

What Chaeyoon had just said, ‘I can sing it together with my dad’ was definitely the right answer.

After listening to all the songs, Jo Sung-hyun had similar thoughts.

There is such a thing as featuring.

Participating in another singer’s song and helping to play or sing.

As a former manager and as someone with decades of experience in the entertainment industry.

Jo Seong-hyeon thought that it could not be denied that the feature was gradually becoming a work aimed at a simple publicity effect.

Still, most artists naturally seek diversity in music through featuring.

Simply put, it also means that people who are close to each other put their hearts together and make a song.

Also, even if I don’t have a strong relationship, I do it because I think it will suit me musically.

But from the company’s point of view… In the end, it had to become one of the marketing tools.

After all, entertainment companies are in a position to make money.

Because it’s the company’s job to somehow make it possible for artists to make the most money.

‘It’s a bit vague.’

In that sense, the featuring was a little vague.

There are many ways to proceed with the feature, but there was too much room for the company to intervene in the middle.

As a company-to-company, it’s too likely that you’ll be using features as literally a means of marketing.

‘But, well, it’s something I can’t even call.’

If we only see Cho Sung-hyun recording vocals right now, that’s a pretty good idea.

It’s not actually going to be released as a sound source anyway, it’s just to see if we can make up for the lack of a song by adding Jo Sung-hyun’s vocals to Lee Ye-rin’s vocals.

But you can’t turn it into reality.

Yoomi’s vocals and Jo Sunghyun’s vocals are featured… That’s absurd.

“How would you feel if Dad called you?”

“I think it will be warm.”

“Then I feel more stable, and I think I’ll be able to describe my emotions better. Is not it?”

“yes.”

Chae-yoon nodded in response to Seong-hyeon’s words.

The trainees widened their eyes when they saw Chaeyun and Jo Sunghyun having a conversation.

Perhaps this is the first time you have ever seen such a sight.

A producer who works while talking about music with his 7-year-old daughter.

It’s not easy to go anywhere to see something like this.

“If it’s not Dad, who else can I sing with?”

“With Yumi unnie?”

“yes. This will be called by Yumi unnie later.”

“Umm… .”

Chaeyoung was worried.

Then, seeing if he had found the answer, he shook his head.

Jo Seong-hyeon quickly wrapped his hands around Chae-yoon’s head, which was about to collide with his chin.

“Jenna sister!”

“… Do you think it would be good if Yumi unnie sings with Yena unnie?”

“If we call together… It’s different from what Dad sings together, but I think it’s good.”

Chaeyoung explains.

Jo Seong-hyeon made a strange face, but could not refute the child’s words.

The vocals of Seo Ye-na and Jo Sung-hyun are different, so of course the finished version will be different.

But when it comes to emotional control, it was clear that it would have the same effect.

That’s why Seong-hyeon Jo was the guide vocalist when he was working on Seo Ye-na’s song last time.

Seong-hyeon Jo was the first to pave the path for Seo Ye-na.

‘If Seo Ye-na features a song, I think the level of perfection of the song will definitely increase.’

But, does it make sense?

In a way, it’s more absurd than Jo Seong-hyeon’s feature in Yumi’s song.

I know what will happen when the two meet.

Jo Sung-hyun shook his head and got up from his seat holding Chae-yoon.

First of all, it was clear that if Jo Sung-hyun added a little bit of vocals now, this ambiguous feeling would disappear.

There was a way to solve the song’s problems, but I couldn’t help it.

“Mr. Yerin.”

“Yes Yes?”

Lee Ye-rin, who was staring blankly at Chae-yoon and Seong-hyeon, raises her head and answers.

Yerin Lee as well as other trainees.

They did not understand the conversation between Chae-yoon and Seong-hyeon.

It was a conversation that only Jo Sung-hyun and Chae-yoon could understand.

“Have you never touched this?”

Pointing to the equipment, Jo Sung-hyun asked Ye-rin Lee.

Then Yerin Lee bows her head.

“uh… Yes, sorry.”

“No, no. No need to be sorry… It’s so simple. I’ve done all the settings, so you only need to press one button.”

Jo Sung-hyun looked at Lee Ye-rin and said, and although she looked frantic, she concentrated on Jo Sung-hyun’s words as much as possible.

It wasn’t really that difficult to just record a simple recording, so there was no need for a lengthy explanation.

“Chae Yoon-ah, I’m going to record Dad, so I’m watching you here.”

“okay!”

Chae-yoon answers in a bright voice.

The child looked forward to Jo Sung-hyun’s vocals.

Although the other trainees did not fully understand what was going on, they were blinking as they saw Jo Sung-hyun entering the recording booth.

I’m thinking that I’m not trying to pick a guide vocalist myself, and I’m holding on to my hopes.

In particular, Lee Ye-rin looked at Jo Sung-hyun and had a face similar to Chae-yoon, but a little more nervous.

Unbeknownst to the other trainees, Yerin Lee heard about Jo Sunghyun from Woojin Choi.

I said that I thought of making a fan cafe after seeing Jo Sung-hyun recording the guide vocals myself.

It was natural to wonder what the vocals of Cho Sung-hyun, whom Choi Woo-jin praised so much, would be.

“after… .”

Jo Sung-hyun put on a headset in the recording booth and sighed a little.

When I was working on Seo Ye-na’s album, I didn’t know that I would be recording again.

‘You’ll end up doing it again.’

It would be comfortable to record alone, but it was a little burdensome as the trainees kept their eyes wide open outside the recording booth.

How the hell do Seo Ye-na and Yu-mi sing on stage?

Jo Sung-hyun thought to himself, raised his hand and sent an OK sign.

Still, he had experience singing at Chaeyoon’s athletic competition, so as soon as the song started, Seonghyeon Jo was immediately immersed in the song.

Cho Sung-hyun’s vocals were not needed in every part.

The part that should not be revealed like an explosion even when emotions are maximized.

If you save only those parts, the vague feeling of the song will disappear.

-The day we made a snowman together… .

Jo Seong-hyeon, who sang neatly with emotion, sent a signal to end it while making eye contact with Ye-rin Lee.

Yerin Lee hurriedly moves her hand to finish the recording.

“Can you play back what I just recorded?”

As he said it, Yerin Lee was momentarily embarrassed and flustered.

I was going to go outside, but Chae-yoon reached out and pointed to the monitor.

Ye-rin Lee hears Chae-yoon and immediately plays what she just recorded.

Jo Sung-hyun opened his mouth after hearing what he had recorded.

“I’ll try one more time.”

So, I record again.

This time, I just recorded a whisper singing on a lower note.

Jo Sung-hyun’s recording ended quickly.

When I took off the headset and came out, I saw Yerin Lee and the trainees looking at him with blank faces.

“no… Producer, why aren’t you a singer? You sing very well.”

“haha. I’m not good enough to be a singer.”

“You are absolutely amazing… .”

Yerin Lee murmured as if she was sorry.

Jo Sung-hyun smiled brightly.

Chae-yoon spreads her arms to Seong-hyeon.

Jo Seong-hyeon took the child and sat him on his lap, then turned around.

“Yerin, I will record one last time and finish. Please call me in a whisper like I just did.”

“Yep.”

Yerin Lee enters the recording booth again.

She, too, came out after one light recording.

Jo Sung-hyun played Yerin Lee’s vocals as the main, and in the highlight part, 4 vocals were overlapped to reproduce the song.

After listening to the song until the end, Jo Sung-hyun’s face was bright.

Chae-yoon also reached out to Seong-hyeon with a proud face.

Jo Seong-hyeon lightly patted the child’s palm.

The child laughed loudly.

“done.”

“yes. good now.”

There are no problems with the song.

In the end, I confirmed that the feature was the correct answer.

After saving the song, Jo Sung-hyun turned and looked at Ye-rin Lee.

“thank you for your effort.”

“The producer worked a lot harder.”

Jo Sung-hyun smiled and glanced at the time.

It took more than 30 minutes, but fortunately it didn’t exceed an hour.

It was thanks to Yerin Lee who quickly understood the song and recorded it well.

“Please give me your number.”

Jo Seong-hyeon held out his smartphone to Lee Ye-rin.

Yerin Lee quickly picks up Seonghyun’s smartphone and dials her phone number.

The world is very comfortable.

You can send money just by knowing your phone number.

Seong-hyeon Jo saved Lee Ye-rin’s number and sent her some money.

It is not uncommon for producers or composers to take trainees, record them, and give them some pocket money.

However, perhaps the amount was more than expected, Yerin Lee received an alarm on her smartphone and widened her eyes.

-Jo Seong-hyun: Eat half of Yerin-san, and half of it, buy something delicious together.

He smiled lightly as he sent the message.

Of course, each person and each case is different, but if you take trainees and record them like this, they will literally give you ‘pocket money’ level of money.

They provide much more than the minimum hourly wage, but they stay at that level.

Jo Seong-hyeon sent Lee Ye-rin double or triple that amount.

It is only tens of thousands of won, but it will be very valuable money for children.

Of course, that didn’t mean it wasn’t important to Cho Sung-hyun.

“Go, thank you!”

Yerin Lee bowed her back and greeted her.

“Thank you for doing so well today. If I need vocals later, can I contact you again?”

“Yes, please feel free to contact me anytime!”

Yerin Lee nodded her head in haste and answered.

The other trainees quickly bowed their heads and said hello.

Now that everyone knew that the recording was over, the trainees left the studio one by one.

They greeted each other as they left.

After saying hello several times, the studio becomes quiet again.

“Chae Yoon-ah, how was it?”

“It was amazing.”

“Recording?”

“yes. It was cool that the song became so beautiful when it was combined with my father’s voice.”

“I can finish the song safely because Chaeyoon works hard to help my dad.”

“Hehehe… ”

Chae-yoon smiles mischievously.

Jo Sung-hyun kissed the child’s forehead.

Seriously, without Chaeyoon, it would have taken two more days to get here.

In this song, Chaeyoon really gave a lot of hints.

‘I think Seo Ye-na’s vocals would suit her well.’

It will be really difficult to make it happen, but Jo Sung-hyun and Chae-yoon had the same opinion.

Seo Ye-na and Yu-mi’s vocals would go really well together.

Swallowing regrets like that, I was talking with the child, trying to organize what I just recorded a little more.

woo woo.

His smartphone rang.

Jo Seong-hyeon looked at the name that came up on his smartphone and made a subtle expression.

It was Seo Ye-na.
