Taiyang smiled sheepishly: "Well, let's try it here first and record a demo. You go back and discuss it with your agent and the Extreme Challenge PD to see if it meets the requirements."
Now that he is back, he feels sad when he thinks about how he basically has few friends in the Chinese music industry, and all his old relationships are in Korea.
According to the custom of the Korean music industry, Zhang Yixing met as a junior, bowed and shook hands.
He can definitely only call one by one. If he refuses, he will be replaced by the next one. Whoever agrees will be chosen, so the order of this invitation is very important.
"Yeah, I'm following you personally. It's okay. I can say anything. I can reshoot the footage later."
"There is no need for video, just a phone call. Then, girl, contact IU and tell her in person. If she refuses, you can contact Jessica. If Jessica is not available, I will find a way to contact other people."
Zhang Yixing smiled. This guy was so direct, but he understood that it must be strange for a Chinese singer to sing Korean songs at his own art festival.
"Hello, seniors!"
Next, Zhang Yixing contacted IU. The girl was two years younger than him, but they were trainees who debuted in the same year, and they were treated as equals.
Choosing a singing assistant is not that simple. For example, IU and Jessica, or GD and Taeyang. They are all big names in the Korean music industry. In terms of status in the Korean music industry, Zhang Yixing can't even catch up with him now. He can't say "Oh You guys all wait until I finally decide who to choose, and then I will notify one of you while the others go to sleep."
In GD's mansion in Kaipodong, Gangnam District, Zhang Yixing was taken to the music studio by his assistant. GD was waiting with Taeyang, specifically to see Zhang Yixing.
"That's right, we just talked with GD's management company. They don't have a schedule, but they heard that it's an extreme challenge singing competition. They hope you can make a call and they can also send blessings to the Chinese audience. They don't know this. Forget it, if you know it, you must express your position like this, this is the most basic courtesy."
puff!
The agent has already handled the handover and explained helpfully: "Yes, we have agreed. The content captured today can be broadcast in the behind-the-scenes. If there are many interesting points, we can be given at least 10 minutes for the main film. But Yi Xing chose IU, you have to find a way not to lose to her!"
This is a small recording room dedicated to GD. The area is not too big, with a sofa, a large workbench, and a soundproof room behind a thick glass. There are some sound pickup instruments in it, and three high-sensitivity professional microphones for sound collection are hung. , outside is the mixer equipment responsible for music processing, and GD's sound effects engineer sits there to operate.
Zhang Yixing glanced at the VJ. The camera was on. As soon as the phone rang, the VJ started working. He was so dedicated.
Hongfeng opened a direct international flight to Seoul last year. At 8 o'clock in the evening, Zhang Yixing was standing on the ground in Seoul.
When the manager heard this, he immediately paid attention to the singing competition. Zhang Yixing was a genuine singer, so of course he couldn't be timid!
Thanks to several years of experience as a trainee in South Korea, Zhang Yixing can speak Korean without much problem, but he has a slight Star City dialect accent and the bent pipe sounds weird.
The competition requires original songs. Boys can invite GD and Taeyang. Their creative abilities cannot be underestimated. GD is also a representative of Korean pop music and one of the top ten composers in Korea. If he can bring Zhang Yixing along with him to show off, Flying, that would be great.
"I, Hu Hansan, am back!"
GD smiled exaggeratedly: "We actually lost to IU?"
"Okay, I'll call you later. Do you need a video call with GD?"
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yixing discussed it with VJ, drafted it himself, and then contacted his senior GD on the phone.
Zhang Yixing hugged and high-fived his two brothers, and then talked about the invitation. GD showed an embarrassed expression: "Extreme challenge... Yes, I know this show, it is the most popular outdoor reality show in Asia. But you guys The singing competition will mainly focus on Chinese songs, right?"
GD was very enthusiastic and thanked Zhang Yixing for the invitation. Unfortunately, he really has no schedule and cannot come to China to participate in the show. He also took this opportunity to say hello to the Chinese fans and has been wishing Extreme Challenge better and better.
Zhang Yixing scratched his hair and said, "The director didn't say that there should be no language restrictions."
Zhang Yixing took his cell phone and hesitated for a while, then called his agent to discuss it first.
Brother, didn’t you yourself say you don’t have a schedule? Zhang Yixing knew they were joking, so he could only keep apologizing, and was then taken into the production studio.
GD glanced at Taiyang, the two had been partners for many years, and immediately knew what he meant.
GD glanced at the VJ who was following him and asked him with a smile: "Are we going to shoot this too?"
After getting the rough lines right, VJ officially started filming.
After half an hour of discussion, the manager called Zhang Yixing back: "Are you recording Extreme Challenge over there?"
Fortunately, Korean Entertainment Star is also a large entertainment company as large as MS. It has a great influence in the Korean entertainment industry. It didn’t take much effort to make an appointment with IU. However, the appointment was for the next day. Tonight, Zhang Yixing was going to visit GD. The agency sent People have arranged it.
If you are a girl, you will definitely choose IU. Just talking about music creation, at least among the new generation of Korean female singers, IU deserves to be ranked number one, and the title of the national sister is not just a boast, it is her strength.
Taeyang also grabbed Zhang Yixing's collar and pretended to be angry: "Tell us, why did you choose IU instead of us? Is it because she is a girl?"
Zhang Yixing stretched out his arms, took a deep breath, and embraced the dark and flickering city of Seoul.
"OK!"
The invitation went smoothly. Once the China Extreme Challenge sign was announced, few musicians would refuse. However, in order to have better communication, Zhang Yixing had to fly to South Korea to communicate with IU in person and discuss the song. This was indispensable. link.
Taeyang also has such doubts: "Yixing, I know you debuted in Korea and you can also speak Korean, although it is difficult to listen to..."
GD said: "But what we are best at is K POP (Korean pop music). You should know the style of our songs. Is this really suitable for singing in China?"
When he joined Extreme Challenge last year, the prerequisite was to jump out of the agency where he debuted and become a Korean entertainment star. This was a necessary condition. Although he lost a large part of his Korean fans, he owned the entire Chinese market.
