In the pop music world, which is mainly about love songs, and in the hip-hop world, which is mainly about diss, showing off, and criticizing, they are so completely different.
Leessang's music is full of philosophical thinking.
Leessang's music is a meaningful art, mostly focusing on thinking about social issues. Simple melodies and catchy lyrics make the songs accessible to a wider public.
Therefore, when dealing with such singers, Xiao Qian did not simply copy the famous works of his previous life, but allowed them to explore their own musical path.
Ji and Gary submitted dozens of works.
Young people who are just about to make their debut are always full of energy and do not feel tired.
Xiao Qian read through them one by one and discussed them in detail at the same time. In the end, after deletion, only seven songs were left.
Seeing the extremely regretful expressions of the two of them, Xiao smiled slightly.
"I know you want to make a regular album, but in today's music market, large-scale regular albums are no longer very popular. Except for fans of idol groups who are willing to pay, ordinary music fans are not willing to pay.
On the contrary, a mini-album of about seven songs is not expensive to produce, and it is easier for music fans to accept it."
His analysis from a market perspective had to convince Lingji and Gary.
No matter how much music is produced, the only thing that determines whether a singer can survive is the sales of his work.
Newcomers like them don't have much capital before they gain a foothold.
"Representative, how many do you think our album can sell?"
Ji looked looking forward to it.
"In one year, there will be more than 200,000."
Xiao Qian also estimated a value.
Ji and Gary's expressions darkened instantly.
"So few!"
"ah!"
Xiao Qian laughed angrily.
"Who do you think you are? Do you want to break one million when you just debut? Do you know how difficult it is to sell more than 500,000 albums now? Your music is a very niche type, and you can have sales of 200,000.
I relaxed my standards."
Ji and Gary were embarrassed by being scolded. They scratched their heads in embarrassment and finally became humble.
"It's not that your music is not good, it's just that hip-hop music is not mainstream now. Ballads and dance music dominate the industry, so you can only survive in the cracks. But your music is very good, so there is no problem in surviving. As long as
Keep at it, sooner or later people will realize your value."
Xiao Qian didn't have much to do about the situation Leessang was facing.
Because this is the development trend of the entire industry, it cannot be controlled by one person or company.
Going against the trend rashly may cause the company to suffer heavy losses.
After experiencing the economic crisis in 1998, South Korea's economy recovered rapidly, and Korean society, which has lingering fears, is generally reflecting on the economic crisis.
In this case, sad ballads are the mainstream of the market.
After 2005, the trauma of the economic crisis was almost over, and the rapidly recovering economy brought idol culture into its heyday.
The subprime mortgage crisis in 2008 caused Koreans to break out in a cold sweat. At the same time, they were full of nostalgia for the 1980s and 1990s when the economy was developing rapidly, which also led to the onset of retro style.
People cannot go against the trend and general trend, that is the way to death.
However, with the rise of the Internet, it has given all kinds of people the opportunity to express themselves. Singers outside the mainstream like Leessang can also find space to survive.
This is the reason why Xiao Qian operates them.
Not to mention the income that will come from Gary's appearance in "Running Man" in the future.
But thinking of this, Xiao Qian couldn't help but look at Ji.
Seeing Ji's silly look, Xiao Qian was very unhappy.
"Yeah, Ji Sungjun, don't act like a crazy person. You are a musician, a musician, and you must have the demeanor of a top musician. You are no worse than anyone else, and you must live with confidence, do you understand?"
Ji was baffled as to why he was reprimanded by the representative.
However, Xiao Qian's harsh words still shocked Ji, and he quickly cheered up.
Xiao Qian has made plans for Ji.
No matter what, he will not be allowed to appear in "Infinite Challenge" in the future.
Speaking of Lucky's tragedy, it is actually inseparable from his appearance in "Infinite Challenge".
What was Leessang's reputation before starring in "Infinite Challenge"?
The emperor of hip-hop, high above the rest.
No matter who mentions it, they always give a thumbs up.
However, after appearing in "Infinite Challenge", the hip-hop emperor became a fool that everyone can laugh at, which suddenly reduced Ji's status to dust and became synonymous with unpopularity.
It was precisely by constantly challenging the lower limit in "Infinite Challenge" that his girlfriend Park Jung Ah was under too much pressure and had to break up with him in order to honor her grandma.
It happened that at this time, Gary became famous with his role as the accidental ability person and Monday boyfriend in "Running Man" and was deeply loved.
The difference in circumstances between the two people in the same group brought about a huge sense of loss, which also seriously stimulated Ji's heart.
This made Ji make mistakes when he neglected to manage himself when he was depressed, and he was unable to recover and fell down one after another.
Although it can be said that what happened to him was his own fault. But without the bitterness of this situation, Ji might not have been able to make it that far.
"Infinite Challenge" is the poisonous holy grail.
Except for the original few people, all those who joined later did not get any benefits.
In this case, he will never let Ji step in again.
A hip-hop emperor must behave like a hip-hop emperor.
There were seven songs in total, and several people picked and picked them, and finally unanimously decided that "rush" was the most suitable as the title song.
This is also the debut title song of Leessang in her previous life. The quality is very high and Xiao Qian can’t fault it.
"Hello, Representative Xiao, I am Zheng Ren, a new singer."
"Rush" needs a female vocalist, and Ji and Gary have already found one through their own connections, and that is the female version of Park Myung-soo's Jung In.
Musicians have their own circles, and the company does not need to take care of them in this regard.
But looking at the reserved Zheng Ren, Xiao Qian couldn't help but laugh.
In fact, Zheng Ren at this time does not have the charm of a top singer at all. His appearance is more like Park Myung Soo.
Speaking of which, this is also a singer who was born at the wrong time.
In terms of singing skills, Zheng Ren is very good, but because he was blocked by a great god, he was never able to advance to the front line.
That great god is Park Jung Hyun.
Park Jung Hyun and Jung In have too many overlaps in terms of their image, singing skills, timbre, and musical lines.
However, Park Jung-hyun is better, debuted earlier, and has a more outstanding image, which makes it difficult for Zheng In, who has a similar style to her, to get ahead.
Fortunately Zheng Ren met leessang, otherwise, he might not even be a singer.
In the entertainment industry, without unique qualities, there is really no room for growth.
In the next two days, Xiao Qian stayed in Big Hit's recording studio and personally watched the production of "Rush".
He didn't interfere, he just observed from the side. But with a giant Buddha like him here, Gary was very motivated and tried his best, which made the production progress a lot faster.
Seeing that the song was almost finished, Xiao Qian decided to give them a surprise.
"I saw your music video plan. The content is good and it fits your song very well. But you need an actress, right? Look who I brought you."
Xiao Qian clapped her hands, the door of the recording studio was opened from the outside, and a gentle and delicate voice came.
"Hello, kids."
"Oh mo, oh mo..."
Looking at the people coming in, Ji and Gary jumped three feet high and lost consciousness with numbness all over their bodies.
After a while, the two people hurriedly came forward and saluted respectfully.
"Senior Li Zhenxian, I really... really didn't expect it to be you."
"Senior Lee Jung Hyun wants to star in our music video? Oh, what regrets do you have in this life?"
Gary Jiang is very funny himself, and with his simple appearance, he looks very festive when he gets funny.
Li Zhenxian covered her mouth, giggled, and sat down next to Xiao Qian.
"The representative listened to your song to me. You are really talented. It must be a good experience to be in a music video for such music."
Ji and Gary never thought that such a big-name artist would star in their debut music video.
Feeling the importance of the company, the two young people were uncontrollably moved under their shy surfaces.
"I have changed the release date of your album to September. The World Cup is now in full swing. If you come back, you won't be able to make any waves, and it will definitely sink."
Xiao Qian did what she could and made proper arrangements for Leessang's debut date.
In the previous life, the two idiots made their debut on June 27, and were naturally buried during the World Cup.
Xiao Qian postponed the date by more than two months to avoid the World Cup, hoping to be of some help to them.
