Chapter 81 Coffee

In mid-to-late November, ending at Daegu Station, Lee Sun Hee perfectly concluded her 30th anniversary concert.

After returning to Seoul by car with Lee Sun Hee, Zheng Enlin began to stay at home in a low-key mode. In addition to visiting the teacher at a fixed time every week with fruit gifts, the rest of the time was spent in the composition studio writing lyrics and changing songs. After all, she had planned to

An official album will be released early next year.

That afternoon, Zheng Enlin, who was staying in the studio to write lyrics as usual, suddenly received a call from Lee Sun Hee. She said that the new drama "Kill Me Heal Me" planned to be broadcast by MBC TV station was openly campaigning for the OST of the TV series, and Zheng Enlin was recommended.

Try it.

She responded to this matter very cooperatively on the phone, and after the call ended, she followed the link sent by Li Xianji and clicked on the official website.

The original meaning of ost is inal sound track, original sound track, and the ost of the TV series also means the episode in the play.

South Korea's entertainment industry is developed, and it already has a complete process for the production of TV series.

Generally speaking, the OST of a TV series will be handled by the show and the TV station, and its team or the producers and singers who often collaborate will come forward to complete it. However, sometimes, the TV series will also adopt an open election model, so that those who are interested in running can come forward.

The producers compose music and songs based on the TV plot and certain requirements they put forward, and finally select the works they think are the best and most suitable to put into the OST list of the TV series.

Of course, as long as you are selected, the corresponding copyright fee will definitely not be stingy.

Zheng Enlin carefully browsed the official website's requirements on her computer, and found that not only ost, op (opening song), but also ed (ending song) qualifications, the TV station also completely relaxed her eligibility.

She looked at the plot summary and character settings published on the official website, thought for a while, then put her computer score book on her back and left the apartment.

After staying in her home studio for so long, Zheng Enlin also wanted to change her environment and mood. She walked to a cafe in Itaewon 3-dong. The cafe was only more than ten minutes away from the apartment where Zheng Enlin lived. She used to

I often come here alone and am considered a regular customer of the cafe. After entering the store and chatting briefly with the waitress, I followed my habit and sat in the corner at the back and started thinking about the song I wanted to write.

"Kill Me Heal Me" is a modern urban-themed romance drama that tells a series of stories between Cha Do-hyun, the third chaebol who suffers from schizophrenia and has a seven-fold personality, and his secret doctor Oh Lizhen.

The plot synopsis and character settings announced on the official website of the TV station are relatively simple. It is said that more detailed information will be released internally after a preliminary screening. However, it is not said that Zheng Enlin has a plug-in system with her. It is just a guide before.

The multiple resets of the mission were enough for her to understand and even be familiar with all the hidden plots and plot twists in the show.

Therefore, without worrying about it for too long, Zheng Enlin directly decided on the core tone and song titles of the two OSTs to be written.

A song "Amnesia" is written for the male and female protagonists in the play, and a song "Doll" takes the male protagonist's first personality, Shen Shiqi, as the protagonist, telling about his rebellion, rage, cruelty... and repressive guardianship.

It's bloody but also has a touching and tender feeling.

Zheng Enlin didn't like procrastination, so after setting the tone, she began to write the tune and lyrics in the music book next to her. At this time, the waitress who knew Zheng Enlin's preferences very well brought the latte art latte to her table, with an inexplicably kind expression.

He glanced at her carefully, then returned to his work station dedicatedly.

After she gained fame through her anniversary tour and self-composed music, there was a lot of discussion on the Internet about Zheng Enlin, who believed that she has too many excellent talents that others are extremely envious of and difficult to match, and she also has such good luck that she was selected by a Taishan-level artist.

The seniors have taken a fancy to him, and he has stood on a high platform that is beyond the reach of most people before he has truly reached adulthood.

They questioned her and praised her.

They envied her and were even more jealous of her.

So many people always think that Zheng Enlin is born with such good strength and good luck. Far enough ago, she has experienced pain and hurt, being used, ignored, abandoned, and despised, which no one can achieve.

Knowing the dark past——

It really happened, and there is no way to know for sure.

"Ding, bell, ding, bell." The wind chimes at the entrance of the cafe made a crisp sound as new customers arrived.

In the most remote corner of the store, a young girl wearing a ladylike pearl sweater was engrossed in the composition work at hand, and she didn't even know there was a person sitting silently in a nearby seat.

Zheng Enlin prefers the character setting of Shen Shiqi in TV dramas, so she first conceived the lyrics and tune of "Doll".

The cafe has a quiet atmosphere. Even during peak hours, there are not too many customers. Zheng Enlin has no hidden thoughts. When she devotes herself to her work, she never cares about the external situation and whether there are curious people watching.

As long as it doesn't disturb her songwriting, Zheng Enlin doesn't care even if she stretches her neck to stand next to her.

Writing a new song is not an easy task. However, for Zheng Demon King Enlin, who has already become super powerful with various buffs and skills, it is indeed not that difficult.

Go through the lyrics and melody carefully in your mind, and then start writing.

Others may seem to be acting very quickly without thinking at all, but in fact, Zheng Enlin has used her brain to envision many different plans in advance, and finally selected the lyrics and melody that she currently thinks are most suitable.

From one o'clock in the afternoon to four o'clock in the afternoon, Zheng Enlin's mind was running at high speed, her writing almost never stopped, and she didn't eat anything except a cup of latte that was about to bottom out.

Because she was a regular customer, the waitress in the coffee shop knew Zheng Enlin's work style very well. Even though she was concerned, she didn't bother to bother her. She only took the initiative to help Zheng Enlin refill a new cup after the coffee cup was completely bottomed out.

In this way, more than an hour and almost two hours passed, and the afternoon tea time ended, and it was time to have dinner.

The Itaewon area is lively during the day, and even more crowded at night. Although there are no people in the cafe, there are obviously louder conversations coming from the street outside the store. Zheng Enlin, who has finished the first phase of work, puts down her pen and paper and relaxes.

After taking a sip of coffee, she put the written music score properly into the backpack next to her. When she turned sideways to unzip the backpack, her eyes suddenly met the person sitting next to her, and the other person smiled politely at her.

Zheng Enlin was stunned for a moment, and nodded politely.

"Enlin, you're done with your work." The waitress came over with great discernment and neatly put away the coffee cup on the table.

"It's almost seven o'clock now, you should go eat quickly."

Zheng Enlin hummed obediently.

"Is Enlinxi a producer?" As soon as the waiter sister left, the man sitting next to Zheng Enlin took the initiative to chat.

Meeting the girl's silent gaze, he introduced himself with a smile: "My name is Quan Ge, and I also like music very much. I just saw you..." Quan Ge pointed to the table and shrugged twice casually.

shoulder.

Zheng Enlin responded with a hum. After two simple exchanges, Quan Ge discovered that she was not the kind of character who was good at talking to strangers. He didn't want the girl to be too nervous because of this, so Quan Ge was considerate and stopped all desire to talk. He put it away.

Something and left the cafe silently.

When walking alone in the busy streets of Itaewon with a bag on his back, Quan Ge thought of the scene he just saw and scratched his hair with some regret.

He didn't have much extra thoughts, just because of his love for music, he wanted to have a discussion with Zheng Enlin.

After all... laymen like to watch the excitement, but what they, the insiders, see is completely different from others.

The cell phone in his trouser pocket suddenly vibrated. Quan Ge picked it up and then took the familiar route to the barbecue shop in Hannam 1-dong and met up with his friends in the shop.

The chance encounter with Zheng Enlin was just a slightly special episode in Quan Ge's daily life. It was a pity at the time, but after that, Quan Ge didn't take it too seriously.

Because of this, Quan Ge was truly surprised when he met the familiar protagonist of the incident again in a different place after more than a month.

Before "Kill Me Heal Me" was broadcast, the TV station gathered all the song producers who had passed the election and held an internal working meeting.

Quan Ge did not participate in the OST campaign for the TV series. Strictly speaking, he just helped his producer friend fill in part of the lyrics. Today I came here with the intention of exchange and learning. At the same time, I also wanted to have a deeper understanding of the current music style in the Korean TV drama circle.

.

He has been helping many idol groups in the entertainment industry to produce albums and write new songs since 2013. However, making music like this all the time is not Quan Ge's ultimate pursuit. He needs to improve and develop. He wants to be exposed to more different things.

Music, different production paths.

Then find the one he likes best and the one that suits him best.

In the bright and spacious conference room, many music producers and crew leaders sat in two rows, conducting serious and professional exchanges and discussions.

Zheng Enlin is the most special one among them.

The youngest, the strangest, but at the same time not completely strange.

The Korean music circle can say it is big or small, but no matter what, Lee Sun Hee's name is always heard.

Her status and reputation are unassailable.

As a student who was admitted by Li Xianji personally, it was almost certain that he would be dismissed as a disciple. When these senior colleagues in the conference room saw Zheng Enlin sitting quietly in her seat, they inevitably had a subtle impression.

At this internal exchange meeting, Zheng Enlin's dressing style is still that of a girl.

Wear a light pink lace buttoned top with a black gauze umbrella skirt. The shoulder-length hair is partially tied up and fixed with delicate hairpins.

Her bangs fall down smoothly, her pretty eyebrows are lightly exposed, her pupils are clear and round, her long and curly eyelashes are thin, and there is a clean light in her eyes.

It feels very quiet and well-behaved.

Quan Ge's seat was diagonally in front of Zheng Enlin. He knew that the girl was quiet and usually didn't like to talk, but he never expected that when it came to music and work, Zheng Enlin would show an activity that was completely different from her nature.

Although she is young, her knowledge reserve, including her professionalism, is astonishingly good. The more she talks, the harder it is for outsiders to understand her, and the more frightening it becomes for insiders.

After expressing her opinions, Zheng Enlin returned to her original quiet and well-behaved self.

The other producers in the conference room silently sighed that he was indeed Lee Sun Hee's student, but few cue Zheng Enlin spoke after that.

You can't do it if you don't restrain yourself. Today's 10th-generation kids are too evil. They are afraid that Zheng Enlin will continue to show off. Today's meeting will be held until eleven o'clock in the evening.

After exchanging ideas, everyone began to listen to songs selectively.

The OST song list initially drawn up by the crew includes a total of 21 songs, including the opening and ending songs.

"Amnesia" and "Doll" that Zheng Enlin had previously submitted were both selected.

She put on her headphones and randomly clicked on a song from another producer. Diagonally across from her, Quan Ge, who also put on his headphones, looked through the song titles and chose the song "Doll" first.

"Doll", like "Amnesia", is sung by Zheng Eunlin herself, but there is a more intense rap in "Doll", which is performed by her senior brother Lee Seung Gi.

Quan Ge was listening to the song with his headphones on, his hand on the table gently tapping along with the melody.

After listening to the nearly four-minute OST, he raised his head and glanced at Zheng Enlin diagonally across from him, curled his eyes and smiled.
Chapter completed!
