Damn Idol Episode 13

"Ha ha ha ha ha!"

The one who burst into laughter this time was CEO Choi Dae-ho.

It wasn't a laugh that was completely oblivious to the broadcast like Lee Chang-jun's.

It was clearly a build-up laugh that was conscious of the camera and meant to give praise.

But if that meant this smile was fake, it wasn't.

Because it was a truly bold and incredible performance.

"How should I review the review? "Who will do it first?"

"I will go first."

Blue, who still didn't understand the trick Hansion used, raised his hand.

Anyway, based on one's musical knowledge, one cannot know exactly what that participant did.

I had a vague guess, but I could be wrong.

If you pretend to know something here, you may be embarrassed or disliked, so it was best to react the way the viewers would feel.

After coming to that conclusion, Blue began praising Han Zion's song.

* * *

It was a satisfying song.

Of course, there were many things that were disappointing.

It would have been much better than this if it had been a full band session rather than MR accompaniment.

Additionally, the sound equipment itself was good, but the microphone settings were too general, which was a bit disappointing.

It would have been much better if I had changed the middle and high EQ settings to ones that suited my tone.

Lastly, there were too few spectators compared to the size of the convention center's main hall.

Since there were no sound-absorbing elements to absorb sound, the reflected sound was strangely annoying.

There wasn't enough latency, but it wasn't the best stage.

But, it was still satisfying.

Because I showed the best I could do with my current vocal skills and a less tuned tone.

This is a jinx that only I have, but if the first stage after returning fails, it often ruins my entire life.

I'm glad I overcame the jinx with ease.

While I was thinking that, the judge Blue showered me with praise.

Because I'm quietly listening… … .

This guy doesn't seem to know what I did.

Are you being careful because you might make a mistake?

Or did you give the comment to composer Lee Chang-jun for the sake of professionalism?

"I give you 10 points."

After receiving a perfect score from Blue, he bowed his head.

"thank you."

Next, vocal trainer Yoo Seon-hwa.

Although this was my first time meeting him, his comments about my tone and vocal skills were quite accurate.

He seemed like a talented person.

"I also get 10 points."

CEO Choi Dae-ho took the microphone.

I thought it would be the last one, but this is the third review.

"You did that on purpose, right?"

"yes?"

"I waited while listening to the verse. The moment when the refrain explodes. But now that I think about it, we decided to only sing the first verse. therefore… … ."

Choi Dae-ho added.

"You're curious."

Accurate.

A star should always have questions.

This does not mean that you should morbidly hide your private life under the concept of mysticism.

It doesn't matter if you show your simple side as much as you like through observational entertainment.

But not in music.

'What should I do?' and 'How should I do it?'.

You should always be curious about these two things.

Instead of answering, I just smiled.

Just enough to express pride and joy without appearing arrogant.

"Coming up next. If I were to translate it literally, it would be something like 'what's next,' right?"

"yes."

"I'll have to wait and see… … . So far, I think the most anticipated next turn will be Mr. Han Si-on. "I heard you well."

Choi Dae-ho also gave 10 points.

"No, are you leaving all the musical stories to me?"

"Are you going to laugh so excitedly and then leave it to us?"

"Oh, right. "I laughed."

Lee Chang-jun smiled once again and grabbed the microphone.

And then, without any hesitation, he scored 10 points.

"Score, well, it's natural. "Let's talk about music."

"yes."

"Did you make it yourself?"

"yes."

"When did you make it?"

I made it in the practice room 2 hours ago.

I heard this song in a taxi on the way to the filming location, and I was moved by it because it was a song I enjoyed singing as a child.

However, the idea came to me when I was given the task of singing just one verse in a program.

But it would be unlucky to say this, right?

"I had an idea and worked on it for quite some time."

"is it so. It's not something that can be done overnight. "It was a very fun attempt."

Lee Chang-jun, smiling happily, immediately started explaining.

Because it was a face that made many people curious about what trick I used.

"It struck a chord."

"It wasn't at that level, was it?"

Lee Chang-jun nodded at Yoo Seon-hwa's words.

"It's not like we hit the same chord as usual. Normally, when you say that you harmonize, it means that you have built up a note that is pleasant to hear as a vocalist, right?"

'Domisol' is C code.

If you add the vocals of Mi (E) and Sol (G) to the vocals performed by Do (C), it will sound harmonious and pleasant to listen to.

That's the chord.

Of course, the actual song is much more complicated because it does not proceed with single notes, but the basic principle is as follows.

"However, the Hansion participant changed the overall mood of the music by adding notes with his voice."

Lee Chang-jun continued speaking excitedly.

"You can think of it this way. How about playing an exciting electric guitar on top of karaoke MR? "It must be exciting, right?"

"yes. "As long as it matches well."

"That's what I did. In fact, rather than singing, it would be more appropriate to say that I used my voice like an instrument. "You have to hit the right note."

"uh… … . "Is that possible?"

"Songs these days never work. Even if it's an old song, it's not a good idea to try it. However, it was possible because of the specificity of the song <Under the Street Light>."

What Changjun Lee said is correct.

As time passes, the chord progression of music becomes more diverse, and various attempts are utilized.

This is true even if you just look at the diminishing code or the augmenting code.

Progressions that were previously refined and partially used in popular music are now used as main melodies.

The reason I was able to use this method was because <Under the Streetlight> is a song that uses very static codes.

And I have the arranging skills to play around with sources like this.

"And it's not possible to do it with any amount of talent. It is very difficult to produce the correct notes with your voice. Even while listening to MR."

That's true, but I can accurately express even flat notes with my voice.

I wasn't able to do it from the beginning, but I was able to do it through a lot of experience and effort.

If you train consistently and reach your prime, you will be able to express even flat semitones.

"I arranged it with my voice through a combination of sonic and musical talent. I will give a general review like this. "It was truly amazing."

It doesn't seem like Lee Chang-jun doesn't know, and he seems to have left off the explanation appropriately, but there are more devices.

I intentionally created a dissonant sound to create the heightened feeling of PRE-HOOK, and also played around with the beat a little with a bending sound.

I even removed some of the lyrics to change the scale.

Like the parts where 'there' is called 'there'.

But, if I tell you that much, the viewers won't understand.

I think this is an explanation that viewers can easily understand and that I am satisfied with.

Honestly, I have a bad relationship with Lee Chang-jun.

It's ridiculous to even say it's a bad relationship.

Because it's already gone.

Still, I was quite satisfied with this review.

"thank you."

"… … "What does that mean?"

In response to a question from producer Kang Seok-woo, who was in charge of the main direction of Coming Up Next, the junior producer shook his head.

"I do not know."

"I'm not the only one who didn't understand, right?"

"yes."

"what… … . "It won't matter."

From the director's perspective, the judges' reviews are not important.

It is important to have a protagonist who will receive the main shot.

But what's more important than that.

"You should have made me sing more!"

This is it.

Isn't that crazy?

If a song like that is played, shouldn't it be euphemized after the review process?

Aren't you curious about what Han Si-On would have called him after this?

Do you think you're going crazy with excitement and curiosity about the chorus of Hansion's version?

This works.

It pops up unconditionally.

After Episode 1 of Coming Up Next airs, the main character will no longer be Ryan Enter or Take Scene.

It's not even Hansion.

This is <Under the Streetlight> sung by Han Si-on.

"Then wouldn't the other participants feel relative deprivation?"

That is correct.

Because I can see the eyes of the six participants next to Han Si-on shaking mercilessly.

but.

"What does that have to do with us?"

As long as it makes money, I'm all for it.

M Show is not interested in Ryan Enter's situation.

Although it is related that Take Scene decided to share a portion of the profits it will make over the next two years... … .

From a broadcasting station's point of view, the best things are high viewership ratings, sold out advertisements, and music revenue.

Is there a contestant who had a mental breakdown because of Hansion?

All of the interviews with that mental breakdown will be used to boost Hansion.

"Go right away and set a release schedule, and get permission for the remake from the original author."

"yes? Are you planning to release the pre-mission song? "There was no such talk during the planning stage."

"Then why don't you do it? "If there was a golden goose running around in your yard, wouldn't you pick it up?"

"Our house is an apartment… … ."

"hey!"

"sorry."

"I assure you, that one ranks first in real swords."

"These days, real swords aren't that powerful."

"#1 trending video on YouTube! That's it! Go PD?"

"I'm not Mr. Ko, but… … ."

"He's a torturer."

Main PD Kang Seok-woo, who got angry at the junior torturer, screamed again.

"Call me right now and get me! Recording Schedule! Release schedule! Even permission from the original composer!"

When the junior left the room to make a phone call, filming stopped briefly.

This was because the participants who had to sing after Han Si-on were too nervous.

Meanwhile, Kang Seok-woo approached Han Si-on and suggested that he go to the studio, record with a full band, and release it.

Han Si-on's answer to that was simple.

"I'll think about it."

"Worried? "Why this great opportunity?"

"It's a bit too hasty to make a decision… … ."

The rich returner knew.

Broadcasting stations that are obsessed with viewership ratings will be squeezed in this situation.

DROP OUT.

Double M Entertainment's five-member boy group, the most popular in Korea.

Although it has already been 8 years, it is still number 1 in the industry and is the idol of idols.

One thing that was unusual about this type of dropout was that it had a failed past.

The reason was a problem with the song.

Double M Entertainment is known as one of Korea's top three entertainment companies, but when it launched Drop Out, it had Ma in its composition line.

In the end, Drop Out quickly swallowed up the debut single given by the company and followed up with the title song of their first album, but failed again.

Considering the Drop Out members' charm, skills, and performance ability, it was also a point where you could see how bad the song was.

What brought Drop Out out of the coffin after being pushed to the point of temporary disbandment was their self-produced song.

With the idea of ​​trying something, the last self-made music video I shot in my dorm came up.

It was quite a dramatic thing.

From then on, Drop Out unconditionally produced the title song in-house.

There were times when company songs were accepted for album tracks or singles, but the title song, which defines the group's identity, was always self-made.

From the release of the 4th full-length album to the release of 4 mini-albums, many star composers attempted to write the title song, but this trend did not change.

But that steadfastness was shaking for the first time.

Because of the song <Selfish > written by an unknown composer named ZION.
