Chapter 153 Splitting
Chapter 153 Split
S.M. Company is much larger than other entertainment agencies, not only in terms of the number of artists, but also in the development of more side businesses and the number of company buildings.
The company has five buildings in total, distributed in various areas of Seoul, and their main functions are also different.
Celebrity peripherals are sold, trainees are trained, a comprehensive office building including a practice room and recording studio for debut artists, and an old building are used for practice and filming.
It depends on the specific situation.
So if you go to South Korea to chase stars, you should also find a specific building to avoid missing out.
As it happened, the building where Cheng Qianan was located was the new building. Under the guidance of the staff, he walked straight into a composition room.
It is fully enclosed, unlike JYP Company, which has a window on one side to see the scenery outside the window.
"Hello, I'm Cheng Qian'an."
Cheng Qian'an entered the composition room alone and saw two people sitting there.
It is worth mentioning that Cheng Qianan did not have an English stage name or anything like that, but simply used his real name.
Two people in the room saw him coming and stood up to say hello.
"Hello."
Cheng Qianan, who was probably a composer under S.M., smiled and said hello to them.
He is the first composer, and the other two work with him to modify the demo to improve its completion. In fact, it does not take much time, because the demo itself is not low in completion.
It's said to be ten days, but actually the main time was spent on recording, harmonizing, and mixing.
The concept and direction of the album were clearly grasped, and the title song came naturally and smoothly. After a few people communicated, they started working on it immediately.
S.M. Company is also in place, and will also pay him salary during this period as labor expenses.
It didn't take long, it was almost noon after working for about two hours.
There is a canteen in the company. Although it is not free like jyp company, the price is quite affordable. After all, it serves the company's internal employees.
And he doesn't need to stay here all day.
If the production of each song had to go to the corresponding place to work, wouldn't it be a mess? Just like S.M. Company often buys songs from Western musicians. If everyone needs to travel across the ocean to come to S.M. Company, wouldn't it be torture to death for the composer?
Generally, the task is completed after the demo is delivered, and there is no composer involved in the follow-up. Instead, the arranger puts the demo together and arranges it.
Cheng Qian'an's situation was rather special. The demo composition and arrangement had already been completed to a certain degree, which happened to meet the requirements of this album production. For various reasons, it was left to him.
The complete record production has the following processes.
Collecting songs, demo confirmation, editing, over-taping, instrumentation, backing vocals, harmony, mixing, and mastering.
This is the link that a composer or producer generally needs to participate in. Of course, some links will have more professional personnel, such as mixers, musicians, trackers, etc. Not all links are produced by composers. Those who supervise these are higher-level producers.
Of course, excluding outsourcing from small companies, the last Ans girl group album that Cheng Qianan participated in the production is a vivid example.
After work was over in the morning, Cheng Qianan planned to have a meal here and then go back to the company. It was not necessary for him to be here every day.
It was his first time to come to S.M. Company and he felt very unfamiliar, but the other two people traveling with him did not. They took him on the elevator and went to the cafeteria.
"Does Qian Anxi belong to a club?"
One of the composers asked with a smile.
"Yes, currently working at jyp."
"jyp?"
The other person was a little surprised, as he didn't expect that he was from jyp.
"right."
S.M.'s staff cafeteria is not much different from the ones at the TV station and Yonsei Dali, with self-service windows, fast food, etc.
Cheng Qian'an had an injury on his lip and couldn't eat spicy food. He just ate something light and sat there.
He became worried when he thought about the wound.
He, who has always been unfailing, also tasted the taste of frustration. Thinking of Lin Nalian's figure carrying him away that day, he felt a little discouraged.
Sad people.
Cheng Qian'an sighed deeply. Every time he thought about this, he felt depressed and didn't want to step into the company. The reason why he returned to the company later was because he had to teach the trainees in the afternoon.
I thought that I could meet an idol by chance. If I could meet a red velvet, it would be great if it was Bae Joo Hyun. My luck that seemed to be the son of heaven failed, but I didn't see one.
After a quick meal with the two of them, Cheng Qianan was ready to leave S.M. and return to his company.
Cheng Qian'an just put the plates in the recycling area, said goodbye to the two of them, and strode out of the canteen, passing around a corner.
But God still favored him.
"Why!"
One walked out and the other walked in. There was no one in sight at the blind corner. The two of them suddenly bumped into each other, and the girl couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
Cheng Qian'an was a tall man, so bumping into a little girl would be fine. But by chance, the girl happened to be wearing a pair of high heels, and her head hit his chin, causing him to bite his lip without noticing. .
The healing wound was bitten open and blood spilled out.
Cheng Qian'an couldn't help but frown in pain, and didn't take a closer look at who was bumping into him.
As long as he doesn't pay attention when he opens his mouth, the blood from the wound will flow out.
Pei Zhuxuan stumbled, couldn't help but take a few steps back, frowned, and couldn't help but rub his sore nose.
He stood firm on his feet and looked up carefully to see who had collided with him. But when he saw the person in front of him clearly, his eyebrows were raised in surprise. He was surprised for a moment and couldn't help but ask.
"Why are you here?"
Every time we meet, it seems like a TV drama plot, full of drama.
"I'm here to work."
Cheng Qianan covered his mouth and said vaguely.
When Pei Zhuxuan saw his appearance, she thought she had broken her lip. She became panicked and pointed at him.
"I'm sorry, you, is this okay?"
Can this be okay?
Cheng Qian'an was speechless, still in severe pain and did not want to speak.
This feeling is like when talking: accidentally biting the tongue, the pain makes the mind go blank for a moment, and the pain is caught off guard.
"Ah, this"
Bae Zhuhyun, who originally came just to buy coffee, suddenly didn't know what to do. She lost her usual aloof image and felt that things were getting tricky.
"fine."
Cheng Qian'an shook his head. He had prepared some medicine. It wouldn't be a big deal if he applied it when he went back. The main thing was that it only hurt for a moment.
It's like a mouth ulcer. It hurts as long as it hurts. He can just wait for the wound to heal. No matter how he wants to promote recovery, he can only wait.
"but."
Pei Zhuxuan wanted to open her mouth to speak, but there was no pharmacy or infirmary in the company. If she wanted to buy medicine, she had to go outside the company.
"It's fine."
The wound was not very deep, it was just an opening that had just begun to heal.
As soon as Cheng Qian'an opened his mouth to speak, blood from the wound spilled out from the corners of his mouth.
Pei Zhuxuan watched the blood on his lips flowing down, but she didn't believe what he said.
Thanks to Chi Chimo for the 500 point reward!
