[Entertainment] Want to wear a crown

For the production of a new album like this, the rapline of the combination usually makes a rough draft based on the inspiration they usually record, and then the four of them gather together in the studio to revise it until all of them are satisfied, and then hand over the finished product to Fang Shi The production team headed by Chen refined and polished.

Before the final finished product, the ranking will be determined according to the contribution ratio of each person.

For them, the production task is like a homework that must be taken seriously after the favorite subject. Even if they really like it, it becomes a sweet task after it becomes a fixed task that needs to be handed in regularly. responsibility.

In the period of lack of inspiration, it becomes a grinding burden.

Jin Nanjun and Min Yunqi are the first among them to start independent creations. Min Rui has been learning creations from Fang Shizhen's production team since he was a child and has a guitar foundation. Zheng Haoxi is the latest to start in the team but has a high understanding. Even if his The demo has been cut off the most times and even almost caught up with the vocalline that has been created but has been cut off all the time, and the progress is still not small.

Most of the time, they still communicate calmly as much as possible, and don't use seniority and seniority to suppress other people's ideas.

Min Rui stretched out his right hand and grabbed a few handfuls of his own hair. He could understand the desire to embrace each other and cherish each other expressed in "holdtight" created by Kim Tae-jung, because that kind of emotion can also be applied to the relationship between friends and relatives, but After all, the emotional lyrics are still inexperienced.

He can apply template formulas when creating, but he can't really comprehend.

"Where's Brother Yunqi?" Min Rui chose to temporarily avoid the topic of Jin Nanjun, he just explained his most real feeling for this song, and Jin Nanjun's helpless reaction was within his expectation.

Jin Nanjun knew that this kid would take an evasive attitude when he encountered lyrics in the emotional field that he was not good at. Hearing this, he was not in a hurry to let Min Rui understand the sincere emotions he poured into "converse high".

There are so many people who can write love songs, and there is no shortage of Min Rui.

But there are very few creators who can write songs in other fields.

There are many things in the world that are more important than love. Apart from loving others, the most important thing is to love yourself.

Even the editor-in-chief of popular Korean dramas does not advocate the kind of infatuated drama that gives up everything for love. After all, there are too few people who can give selflessly in reality, so few that most people no longer believe that such feelings exist. Life is completely out of touch and cannot arouse widespread resonance, so it is naturally a prison, unable to attract audiences at all, and it has become a dead end.

"He's in his personal studio." Jin Nanjun passed the demo he compiled on his USB flash drive to Min Rui. In addition to this common creation room in their former collective dormitory, everyone in rapline has their own independent creation room, " Working on his solo mixtape for next year's release."

Jin Nanjun was the first to release a solo in the group. The American producer in the album was also the mentor who was recommended by Fang Shizhen to teach them when filming the American group series. He relied on his own strength to develop the mentor into a friend and win resources. This is Kim Nam Joon's personal charm.

It's just that when his solo was released, their entire group was still in its infancy. This personal mixtape did not cause much repercussions in the fan circle, but it has a good reputation among underground hip-pop singers in Korea, and it also gave BTS this The rap of the combination started its signature.

In order to come up with satisfactory works, Min Yunqi is a workaholic who is inspired to keep making even if he does not sleep.

The rest of the group are all workaholics who rely on their young bodies and capital. They have long since lost the confidence to persuade each other to cherish their bodies and go to bed on time-after all, they can't do what they want to persuade each other.

After Jin Nanjun said this and Min Rui expressed his understanding, they began to discuss the included songs in "In the Mood for Love pt.2" that should be handed over to the production team for refinement.

""Dead Leaves" is really well written." Min Rui turned the mouse wheel, and when he stared at the computer screen seriously, the reflected light cast a shadow on his eyelashes, "the chances of passing should be very high. .”

Both Jin Nanjun and him have the same panda eyes, even if neither of them has the physique to get dark circles under their eyes after staying up a few nights: "Will Yun Qi's "Nevermind" be included?"

"It's hard to say." Min Rui can understand the production team's thinking very well, "The production of this song is not very complete, and it's that brother's solo. Generally, those with a high degree of completion and more participants are selected first. make."

The duration of this song is not enough, unless it takes a little longer to record the concert scene, otherwise the format of the released sound source will not match, and it cannot be included in the official album.

Being intro and outro is the most feasible solution.

Min Rui's solo songs included in the previous albums were handed over to Fang Shizhen after he wrote the rough draft and after a few years of grinding, the degree of completion is already very high.But even this has been rejected many times, even when Min Rui noticed that the production team did not change much during the recording.

He could only persuade himself to understand Fang Shizhen's habitual dislike of him, and even if he couldn't fault him, he should say a few more words about him.

Min Yunqi and Jin Nanjun are closer to professional producers, but at the same time as their creative output is large, their songs need more modification by the production team in the later stage.

Zheng Haoxi walked in after unlocking the lock with the key, and handed the two people the coffee and black bread they just bought: "This is tomorrow's breakfast."

They plan to stay here all night tonight.

"Director Fang, when will our studio be able to install a fingerprint lock like YG's?" Jin Nanjun stared at the key in Zheng Haoxi's hand. He had already bent three spare keys when unlocking the lock, and there were only four people in rapline. , this key in Zheng Haoxi's hand is the most complete key among them.

Min Rui shifted his gaze from the computer screen to Jin Nanjun's face, and twitched the corners of his mouth as he met the brother's sincere eyes: "Captain Jin, I think, even if it's a fingerprint lock, if you're sure you can't unlock it, you won't put it on." Is the sensor screen broken?"

Zheng Haoxi laughed loudly, and threw his body into the soft cushion of the swivel chair: "It's hard to say."

Jin Nanjun gave his relatives of the same age a warning look, and at the same time blinked his small eyes at the maknae: "By the way, I think this name is really cool, I mean the name 'Director Fang'."

Min Rui has long put his attention back on the song selection: ""whalien52" should also pass. I'm a little unsure about my song."

"'Letter to Heaven'?" Jin Nanjun's expression straightened, and he restrained his jokes, "The degree of completion is very high, and the melody is also very catchy. Didn't you hand it over to Fang PD a few years ago? ?"

"En." Min Rui nodded, and pressed the tip of her tongue against the palate to make a crisp click, "I'm not sure if my emotions can be stabilized until the end of the singing."

"We may have a tour in China this year." Zheng Haoxi put his toes on the ground and drove the swivel chair to slide to Min Rui's side, and stretched out his arms to put his shoulders, "I believe our youngest will overcome it."

Jin Nanjun stretched out his fingers and scratched Min Rui's chin: "Our Min Rui has already grown a beard, and has become a good enough man. He definitely has the ability to sing this song to his uncle."

It is true that Min Rui has never performed independently on a public stage. Even though his live performance has always been stable enough to be admired, there has never been a stage where he can perform solo.

This song has a special meaning to him, and the performance is full open mic, he is just afraid that he will lose control of his emotions.

Fang Shizhen said that he is contacting them with the occasion of their first concert performance. Generally, the performance time of the concert is fixed, and they can't always sing and dance on the stage with eight people without stopping.

In addition to the prepared album teaser that will be released at the concert, the company is still negotiating with the members about performing on the collaborative stage.

Jin Nanjun's changed topic brought back another layer of memories for Min Rui.

His stubble is a stalk in the fan circle.

"I was photographed last time without shaving." Zheng Haoxi said as he shaved the stubble on Min Rui's chin with his fingertips, "Our youngest is really a man now."

"The beard grew very early." Min Rui avoided the hands of his brothers, "It's just that there were a few times when I didn't have time to shave and I was in a hurry to go out."

Jin Nanjun has long had no expectations for this face-seeking world, and Min Rui's photo without a beard has been praised as masculine by fans.

"Later, I apologized on Twitter." Min Rui covered her chin with her hands. That day, because she didn't sleep well all night composing, she was in a daze all day. She was photographed by fans who were squatting at the company. At that time, she saw them excited He was stunned for a long time, but he didn't realize that it was the stubble on his chin that stole the spotlight.

For them to be such a juvenile combination, the sign of a mature man like Hu Cha can easily make them collapse. Min Rui's rare negligence was caught and severely criticized by Fang Shizhen. wear mask.

Min Rui's apology was very timely. After being manipulated by the public relations, he only said that he was too tired from training and didn't pay attention to image management. Fortunately, his appearance is not Tian Zhengguo's boyish face with baby fat, and it doesn't look too disobedient. The haggard complexion and thick dark circles under the eyes are very convincing, and by the way, they also drew the sympathy of the mother fans.

After all, there are very few adolescent boys who don’t grow beards. Asian aesthetics make everyone in an idol boy group like them have to keep a clean chin. To Ami, the things in this world are just legendary existences.

In 2014, the turmoil of exo's Chinese members' contract termination had already begun to appear before.

A certain member's airport photo with stubble and no mask was on the hot search, and he did something that was extremely inconsistent with the group's personality, and attracted the attention of other members. When it comes to suppressing companies, the causal cycle is not difficult to understand.

Fortunately, Min Rui's matter was under control before it spread, and it did not cause a catastrophe.

Both Jin Nanjun and Zheng Haoxi just talked about it casually, but Fang Shizhen took it very seriously.

"Now you are full of souls, how many years later?" He patted the table, the chocolate box on the table trembled, his thick palms turned red quickly, and his tone was extremely serious, "When you have more honors, popularity, and resources, can you guarantee that other people's minds will not be mixed?"

"Who can guarantee enough fairness? Who has the ability to make everyone feel fair?" Fang Shizhen looked at Min Rui with hatred, and pointed to the stubble on his chin, "It's just a shave. A beard, is it that difficult? Do you think that the Chinese members of exo were the ones who first proposed to terminate the contract?"

The combination has received a lot of attention, personal resources are good, and it is human nature to have a fluttering mind.But domestic companies are destined not to be too willing to allow a foreign member to obtain too good resources. If there are too many high-level knocks, the rift between the two parties will deepen.

Large-scale companies also have a lot of trainees. Maybe they were not members of the same group before their debut, but they were selected as colleagues of a group to debut because of their outstanding performance. Those who have a good relationship in the team and have a little background and spare time to fight lawsuits will meet up. successively terminated the contract.

The relationship is not that good. I didn’t receive a notice beforehand and saw that my former teammate was about to have a better development, so I didn’t hesitate to slap my face and go to court to terminate the contract. It became a black spot for life. No matter how public relations injuries can’t be cured, it’s already lost image.

The "secret" in the minds of these fans is a secret that can be guessed but not clearly stated to insiders.

Listening to Fang Shizhen's words, Min Rui lowered her head, her ears were red, her lips were tightly pressed, and her canine teeth bit the corners of her lips.

"Even if your individual abilities are outstanding, you are a group. Once the attention you get is unequal, the group is doomed to not achieve too much." Fang Shizhen even understood that it was just because Min Rui didn't have enough rest time that it was really a momentary negligence. , but he can’t help but say these ugly words, and it will be too late to say it from others one day in the future, "Why do you think the eight of you made your debut? Is it really because you are much stronger than Han Zhixiang's group?"

The color of Min Rui's ears faded little by little, and his face turned white little by little. Because his teeth were biting too hard, the places where the force was applied began to turn white.

Idols are all about selling dreams, and the group holds high the banner of friendship.

Dreams and sincere friendship in a complex environment, these things that ordinary people desire to have but are hard to get, have become profitable business opportunities.

"The relationship between the eight of you is indistinguishable from each other now," Fang Shizhen looked into Min Rui's eyes and said, "What about the future? You don't fall in love, what about the oldest Shuozhen? Brotherhood and love, original intentions and interests, you Can you guarantee that others will be as firm as you?"

"Or, even you can't guarantee it yourself?"

The author has something to say: Although I have been reading v articles all the time, I am still a little idiot who doesn't know anything about signing a contract...

There are still many question marks in my head about many details, and this may also be the first contract I signed independently in my life apart from competition training.

After entering v, I will publish three-in-one chapters or three chapters with more than [-] words. I am destined to need to save the manuscript, but the specific time to enter v has not yet been determined... I still did not calm down and revealed the rumor too early.

Because the department is not allowed to carry out various activities one month before the final exam, so before the public holiday, all departments began to exhaust their own committee members. The activities of other departments were finally exhausted by our department. Yesterday we took a short rest due to physical reasons I was urged by my senior to send out the electronic manuscript, and it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

I still have a lot of homework left unwritten.

And since I joined v, my attitude must be more serious than before to be worthy of everyone. I am really grateful to Zong Xin for answering so many stupid questions of mine, and at the same time, I deeply admire this tyrant in my heart.

After entering v, it is estimated that the day is not realistic, and December to January is our exam review period, everyone is studying hard, I can only say that there should be three chapters a week to guarantee, and writing each chapter Before, I always conceived for a long time and wrote the first draft and revised it at least once. Sometimes I missed typos when I didn’t have enough time. I felt very sorry when I saw the bugs.

Every night after completing the tasks of the department and returning to the dormitory, my roommates are already asleep, or when I am writing news in the dormitory, my roommates are talking about the new movie I watched and the new drama I watched. Although I know in my heart that this is my choice. I can't help but have a sore nose.

At the beginning, I heard that I was contacted to sign a contract. Friends who knew that I wrote the article sent congratulations, but at the same time they all reminded me-then you have to spend more time and energy.

The beginning of writing is out of hobbies, and opening a pit is a kind of responsibility, and it is natural for readers to become more demanding after they have invested.

I can only say that without delaying my normal life, sacrifice my rest time and use my best efforts to write works that satisfy me.

I'm not a person who likes to yell slogans... So much rambling really goes against the original intention of trying to be cool and concise.

peace.

Thanks for the support.
