LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 229 "Gangnam Style"
The next day Tang Wanqi came to the company with Xia Haoyang on her arm and smiled like a flower, "It's Fei Jie, right? I'm Tang Wanqi. I just came back from filming in the south. Please take care of me when we meet for the first time. Here are some southern snacks, Fei Jie." You taste it.”
"Hello Wanqi, I am your fan. Your appearance in "So Beautiful" was so beautiful."
"Okay, since we are all colleagues in the same company, let's not talk about business. I'll go back to the office first. Wanqi, you can do whatever you want." Xia Haoyang patted Tang Wanqi on the back and walked to the office.
Compared with the cold-looking Xiao Liu, Fei Jie was easier to get close to strangers. After a while, she started talking and laughing with Wanqi. The smile that always hung on her face was the reason why Xia Haoyang signed her into the company.
Tara hasn't had much going on recently. Hong Ling and Ju Zi's duet group has also officially debuted. Xia Haoyang plans to write a new song for Lao Xie. In the original South Korea K-pop music scene, there were actually many top boy groups. However, Xia Haoyang did not pay attention to their works, so he could not provide them to Lao Xie. However, with the popularity of "Please Open the Door", at least one There is a song that Xia Haoyang can write completely, and that is "Gangnam Style" by Uncle Psy.
Xia Haoyang prefers "Open the Door" because it was covered by Tara, and "Gangnam Style" is the South Korean phenomenon K-pop music that is really popular around the world. It is the world's first MV with a click rate of more than 10 billion. It once created the myth of a global click-through rate of 43 billion. Of course, compared with Jianlang's "Rakshasa Sea" in 2023, which exceeded 20 billion in just one month, exceeded 80 billion in two months, and had a click-through rate of 336 billion for the whole year. , "Gangnam Style" seems like nothing, but what you need to know is that "Gangnam Style" became popular in 2012 when the Internet was not very developed.
Moreover, the iconic horseback riding dance in the song also made Kim Hyuna, a member of the girl group who dances with her, really become famous.
The lyrics and music of this song were quickly completed, but Xia Haoyang hesitated after writing it. The Jiangnan in the lyrics refers to the prosperous and wealthy area of the capital of South Korea, and there is no place called Jiangnan District in China. So Xia Haoyang now has two choices: first, "Jiangnan Style" is adapted into "Pudong Style" based on China's national conditions. Shanghai is the economic center of China, and Lujiazui in Pudong New Area is also the financial center of China. In terms of status, , "Pudong Style" may be more worthy of its name than "Gangnam Style".
The second option is to completely retain the original version and declare it to the outside world as a prosperous area of a fictional city. You can think of it as Shanghai's Pudong, Yancheng's Chaoyang, or America's 42nd New York. In the end, Xia Haoyang decided to keep the original version and use "Gangnam Style" as the song title.
After deciding on the song title, Xia Haoyang began to write the script of the MV. It seemed that there was no need to hesitate in choosing the backup dancer. Tara's sexy role is also the third captain: Shao Minzhi.
When Tang Wanqi walked in, she could hear the frantic typing on the keyboard.
"Is there another new work?" Tang Wanqi saw that Xia Haoyang drank some water in his tea cup and took the initiative to fill his cup.
"Yes, a solo single for Lao Xie." Xia Haoyang didn't even raise his head.
"Can I see it?"
"Okay, I'm writing the MV script. You can print out the lyrics and music first. You can go to the printer to get them."
"Okay." After speaking, Tang Wanqi turned around and left, going to the printer at the front desk to read the latest single.
Tang Wanqi came to the printer at the front desk to get the lyrics. It turned out that Juzi and Hongling were also here, printing things, and they also saw this piece of work.
"Wanqi, is this Fatty's new song? It feels weird. It's very similar to the style of "Open the Door"." Juzi asked, holding the song.
"Really? Haoyang said it was a solo single for Lao Xie, and I just wanted to preview it."
I heard that it was a work written for Lao Xie, and Hong Ling, who was standing next to me, also read it carefully. The focused expressions of the three people also attracted Qin Jiali who was passing by, and she squeezed in with her little head in her arms holding the cat.
"This song is weird, but it will definitely become a hit, just like "Please Open the Door."" Qin Jiali said at a glance.
"Fat Man's works in recent years have been unparalleled in the populist world. Many of his works that look obviously silly are popular. Do you want to make him angry? Take this song for example. The melody is weird and the lyrics are weird. It’s in vernacular, and there are ethnic minority dialects, it’s all a mess, but if the beauty says it’s popular, I believe it.” Juzi shook his head and said.
"Fortunately, Xia Haoyang didn't write such a messy song for me. I wouldn't sing it if it was popular. "Turtle" still sounds better, and the more I sing, the more I feel." Hong Ling also looked disgusted.
"Don't mention it, in fact, Fatty has also written works with excellent lyrics and music, such as "Good Day" for EHS, "Turtle" for us, and "Day and Night" and "The World Reunion" sung by Tara, but even more Many popular works are really poor in terms of lyrics."
"Maybe it's to adapt to the tune." Hong Ling thought for a moment and said.
"maybe."
The script of "Gangnam Style" is not complicated. Although there seem to be many scenes, the lack of lines is just the background, and it is mainly the design of the horse riding dance. With this dance, your scenes are not important at all. Although Lao Xie doesn't have much dance foundation, this dance is not difficult. When this song was very popular, the children in the kindergarten were all good at dancing. In Xia Haoyang's eyes, this level was enough.
When Xia Haoyang taught Lao Xie how to dance horseback riding in the dance studio, he attracted the attention of the entire company. Accompanied by several bosses, Xia Haoyang sang and danced on horseback, attracting screams and shouts from everyone present.
"I think this song is most suitable for Senior Brother Xia to sing. He has a chubby figure and a pair of sunglasses, a sexy face, and his dancing movements are very free and easy. It suits him very well." Zeng Jingyi covered her mouth and laughed in the audience. Very joyful.
"This song and dance is so funny, it will definitely be popular. The arrangement is very exciting, and the dance is so funny. The fat boss would be popular if he writes such weird songs." Qin Jiali also performed a horse-riding dance along with the music.
"This dance is very interesting. Is it just Minzhi who makes a guest appearance? I think I can also make a guest appearance." Zhu Suya is rarely interested in a dance.
"Okay, if you like it, then all of you, including Wan Qi, will make guest appearances. How about Ju Zi Hong Ling, do you want to dance?" Xia Haoyang asked, breathless, on the stage.
"I'll forget it, let's see if it's okay." Hong Ling still couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Hong Ling's devotion to music, or her understanding of music, was more orthodox and sacred, and she didn't like these fancy things.
"Forget it, I can sing well, but I'm really not good at dancing." Juzi naturally united with his partner.
"I don't care. This dance is quite interesting. I can make a few cameos in dancing scenes." Tang Wanqi was already imitating the horse riding dance and thought it was quite interesting.
