Chapter 836: Strong enough to make people want to give up
I will sing of your love and justice. My heavenly Father, I praise you! ——Old Testament Psalm 101:1
People with faith will eventually get their own chance of survival.
Suxiang's life, which has just turned thirty-one now, should be happy, but it is also ups and downs.
She has been writing letters to God like a diary since she was a child. Suxiang's faith is very firm, so she later became a CCM singer, a.k.a gospel singer.
She liked drawing cartoons, watching movies and singing since she was a child. During her junior high and high school years, she formed a band with her friends and served as the lead singer in the band. She liked to learn to sing songs by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston, and often imitated those in the movies.
She even dropped out of college in order to practice English well. These experiences allowed her to develop almost standard American pronunciation. She eventually graduated from the French Department of Kyung Hee University.
However, just being on her own made her career as a singer difficult, and even more bumpy things were waiting for her later.
In 1998, after she got married to her boyfriend, she was soon diagnosed with uterine cancer... Although the fatality rate is not high, it is a disease that has a greater impact on women's psychology.
Because even if she is cured, she will most likely lose the possibility of giving birth to her own children.
The treatment process went smoothly, but the function of the uterus was still somewhat damaged. The chance of conceiving a child was still there, but the chance became lower.
However, she did not become resentful because of this, but became stronger, thinking that it was a privilege for her to be able to survive in this world.
I am lucky to get it, but I am destined to lose it.
There is no negative temperament in her body.
Although she seems unfortunate to others, she thinks she is the luckiest.
Because she has a very supportive family.
Family and friends even formed a gospel band with her to support her work.
POS band!
My husband is a drummer and producer, my sister-in-law is a keyboard player, my sister-in-law is a guitar player, my friend is a bassist, and my brother-in-law is my manager.
Although he does not have his own management company, he is still very popular in the gospel music industry.
Especially in the past few years!
Won the South Korea CCM Top Singer Award in 2007.
Won the CTS Television CCM Best Award in 2008.
In 2009, he won the Grand Prize of the 3rd CCM Culture Award.
But... although there are many Christians among Koreans, gospel music is a niche within a niche.
So they gradually began to have the idea of developing into pop music.
Recently I have been thinking about what I can do. (The author first saw Sister Suxiang as a singer on the program during Starking in 2010. That was probably the beginning of her development in a popular direction!)
The sudden invitation she received now really boosted Suxiang's spirits after a tiring day.
She directly asked her husband to drive her to SM Company.
She didn't even think about how embarrassing it would be if this was a prank and she was stopped in front of the gate.
But it's also true.
But Suxiang and her husband never thought that they would come to S.M.
Then they were led to the recording studio by the waiting staff, and met Hyoyeon, who had just talked for the first time on the phone.
Regarding Hyoyeon, Suhyang's previous impression was that he was a very powerful idol, composer and producer.
Songs written for idols can make them super popular. Songs written for professional singers can also be circulated forever.
Suxiang's personal favorite songs are "Wild Flowers", "I Said If", "Meeting You in the Crowd", "Father", "Love... That Guy"... Well, there are really quite a few songs that I like.
When he saw senior Sohyang who came to help, Hyoyeon greeted her in a friendly manner and then asked her about her vocal range.
Su Xiang smiled and said that it was difficult for her to explain clearly, so she might as well sing one of her songs! That way everything would be clear!
Hearing what the senior said, Hyoyeon agreed and invited her into the recording studio.
With the help of her husband, she went online and downloaded the accompaniments of their band's songs.
"Dream"!
Then...he was dumbfounded and dumbfounded.
Hyoyeon's feeling is really...an incredible sense of music and a super high vocal range.
Generally, the limit of top mixing masters is A5 and B5, and anything above is head voice and pure fake.
But this senior seems to have reached A5 very easily, and then can lengthen, fill in, climb the scale quickly, and connect seamlessly in this super high range.
In terms of control of high notes alone, she has reached the pinnacle among female singers. Hyoyeon can definitely say that teacher Li Eunmi cannot compare to her in this aspect.
And because she is a gospel singer, her singing has a very powerful appeal. She can use reasonable breath control and articulation, rhythm and rhythm, and timbre transformation to integrate her high-pitched ability into the song... Hyoyeon just listens
I almost cried when she sang this song.
Suxiang's husband was really proud when he saw the expressions of Hyoyeon and the others.
My wife is so proud of me!
After Hyoyeon wiped away his tears, he looked directly at Sohyang senior in the recording studio.
Even when Teacher Kenzie asked her where she found the singer, she didn't respond. She just asked Jonghyun her own question... Do you want to sing the song directly to this senior?
Although I said that I wanted to be a singer who could sing big songs, I never expected that it would be of this level... I would also have to redo my arrangement, and re-arrange it according to the range and timbre of this senior Suxiang.
Jonghyun is also embarrassed now... Before, he looked down on the singers he worked with before, but now Jonghyun feels that he...
She is such a great singer. Can I work well with her?
Jonghyun is actually very conceited personally, and there are really not many people who can admire him.
Hyoyeon is considered one, and Taeyeon is also considered one. After all, although the two nuna are not very old, their personal abilities are really very strong.
Then this senior whose name he didn't even remember... already made him so amazed that he almost fell to the ground!
Among the members of SHINee, Jonghyun is the only one who has no faith... In other words, he is more self-loving to the point of narcissism.
But now that he is surrounded by this gospel music, Jonghyun feels that he can actually go to church with other members next time!
Hyoyeon didn't even wait for Sohyang-senpai to finish singing, and already sat in his seat in front of the machine.
Suddenly I really have a lot of inspiration!
This time Jonghyun wrote lyrics and composed music, and Hyoyeon arranged and served as producer. The name of the song is "Sigh". It is a song that makes people sigh endlessly after listening to it.
The original arrangement was already very satisfying to Hyoyeon! But now Hyoyeon has more inspiration... and it has truly become a famous song that will be sung for a longer time.
The lyrics of this song are also very tender, which can fully bring out the unique healing power of the song.
Wait for the senior to finish singing the song, and then let her show off her bass.
Oh! Even the bass is very high quality... OK! I really have more inspiration.
Hyoyeon immediately started re-arranging the songs.
With his abilities fully activated, Hyoyeon's movements are super fast.
Teacher Kenzie pulled Jonghyun, who was still a little troubled, to stay with Hyoyeon... If he wants to be a producer in the company in the future, he must learn more from Hyoyeon in his current state.
According to Teacher Kenzie, Hyoyeon's current state of super speeding up song production can really be called "super god"!
As long as other producers and singers see Hyoyeon's efficiency in producing songs in this state, they will be very impressed and trust her.
So-hyang's husband next to him, Mr. Jin, is like this... He can be regarded as a producer, but compared to Hyoyeon's current "super god", his usual working status can be said to be "super ghost"!
I really feel a sense of infinite admiration when I meet the experts in the industry.
After Suxiang, who had also finished singing, came out of the recording studio, her eyes lit up when she saw Hyoyeon's current "super god".
This is the first time I have seen such a producer! He really deserves to be so famous!
This kind of working status is really worthy of such a reputation.
Hyoyeon now doesn't care about other people's ideas at all, but quickly re-makes the arrangement.
Senior Sohyang is the main performer, and Jonghyun is the assistant. But we can’t let Jonghyun really lose all the limelight to seniors. Jonghyun needs to use his unique voice to solve this problem... Although senior Sohyang’s voice is also super
Charming.
In ten minutes, the re-arranged "Sigh" was produced again.
Others also sighed...really convinced.
In order to save time, Hyoyeon immediately started explaining all the key points of the new arrangement to Jonghyun and Sohyang.
Although he didn't express it clearly, Hyoyeon used his actions to show that of course Sohyang-senpai is fully qualified.
Teacher Kenzie smiled slightly, and then directly told Mr. Jin that they could go out and sign the contract together.
Mr. Jin was very happy and agreed!
Before he went out, he smiled at Su Xiang's back.
Come on! This is our best chance!
…
The performance of S·M's year-end album is really known to everyone in the Korean entertainment industry.
As the most famous music collection in the pop music world in the past two years, there are really countless people who want to participate.
When Teacher Kenzie truthfully told him that his wife had the chance because a singer had turned down the appointment, Mr. Jin couldn't figure out what the singer was thinking.
Could it be that I didn’t cherish it because I got it too easily?
That would really be a lifetime regret for the singer... a quicker opportunity to become famous.
However, Mr. Jin personally still has to thank her...otherwise his wife would not have such an opportunity.
After signing the contract, Teacher Kenzie also inquired about Su Xiang and the POS band, and recommended that they sign with an entertainment management company, because it is okay when they are developing in the gospel field, and they really want to become popular.
In the music world, without the help of an authentic entertainment economic company, you will definitely suffer a big loss.
Teacher Kenzie gave Mr. Jin a recommendation, not SM, only idols are needed here.
It's the KBA company opened by BoA.
BoA is currently interviewing many singers, signing contracts with her company, and then moving to the United States together.
BoA is alone and needs the help of its companions abroad.
Of course, all she can talk about is her ability to become a singer together.
In Kenzie's opinion, Suxiang has the potential in this area...she prefers the American way of pronunciation, and her English pronunciation is also very American...very good.
Mr. Jin was very surprised, but he still said that he would go to KBA company for talks in a few days.
Teacher Kenzie totally understands.
Back in the recording studio, both of them happened to hear Sohyang and Jonghyun singing together.
"sigh"!
——breathe hard
——Until both sides of your heart feel numb
——Until you feel pain
-Breathe again
——Until everything in your heart
——Until everything is poured out
——It’s okay even if you’re out of breath
- No one will blame you
——It’s okay to make mistakes occasionally
——Because everyone is like this
——It doesn’t matter.
——Just a simple word of comfort
The super indifferent opening bass, Teacher Kenzie has heard another version before, but... it's really completely different!
But it sounds good, but now there is a big problem that keeps Hyoyeon scratching his head.
Because Jonghyun really can’t keep up with Sohyang sunbaenim’s singing!
Although it was expected during production before, Hyoyeon didn't expect the difference to be so big.
It’s also because Suxiang’s voice is so pure!
It is so pure that when you sing a duet with others, even the slightest flaws in the other person's voice will become very obvious.
You know, the opening paragraph is the simplest part that Hyoyeon left in this song... But if it doesn't work well, there is no need to continue!
Jonghyun came out of the recording studio dejectedly...then ran to the corner and banged his head against the wall.
"Nuna...can senior sing this song alone?" Jonghyun made a decision, then ran back to Hyoyeon and said to Hyoyeon.
"I would also like to ask President Kim Young-min and even Chairman Lee Soo-man this question. After all, if a solo song comes out of a chorus album, it will always be a little different."
"Well, if those two people agree, let senior Suxiang sing it by himself!"
"Instead of letting this song be completely deleted, it would be better to let it shine even more."
"My ability as a lyricist and composer can make me look more respectable!"
Jonghyun's thoughts have always been correct.
Not all songs should be left to you to sing, it is right to not let the songs be buried in vain!
Otherwise, I really don’t know when this song “Sigh” will be released again.
Hyoyeon feels that he can train Jonghyun more seriously. In addition to his qualifications as a singer and songwriter, he can also really send songs to others and be a composer!
It’s a good thing for Hyoyeon to have a few more idol-turned-composers and even producers in the company!
Our line can develop!
So Hyoyeon called President Kim Young-min directly... The president was waiting for Hyoyeon and Jonghyun to decide whether to delete the song or give him a new music source! Who knew that such a thing could happen.
But he also thought for a while before saying...
Please send me the audio source first! After I listen to it, I will go to Chairman Lee Soo Man to make a decision!
