Kidnap a superstar for a romance

Chapter 613 If Line If You Haven't Left Korea 81

Maybe it’s because of policy changes that they want to seize the opportunity to develop the Chinese market.

The company's initial decision was still relatively conservative, but Xu Yisong thought that since they had decided to do it, they might as well do it to the extreme, so they created this purely Chinese album B-side.

Because Xu Yisong promised that she would be fully responsible for the B-side of the Chinese album, and that the preparations for the Asian tour in the near future would also be sponsored by a large group, the company took full advantage and finally agreed to the release of this Chinese album.

Concert tours make money but also burn money, so getting sponsorship is of course the best option.

In addition to Heo Yisong, Super Junior and TVXQ in the company will be preparing to start their Asian tour this year, and the tour locations will all include cities in China.

Especially Xu Yisong, the second stop of her first Asian tour is in China, and the tour will be in more than one city.

It can be said that this Chinese album was almost prepared for this China tour.

Xu Yisong's father is from China, and China is also an important hometown to her. This album has never been just for the so-called breakthrough in China, but more about her belonging to this land and the deep in her soul that cannot be separated.

She loves this land and wants her voice to be heard by the people on this land.

Although the same set of compositions is used for sides A and B of the album, the lyrics are not simply translated from the Korean version into Chinese. Instead, Xu Yisong rewrote the lyrics, and the Chinese version of some songs was also adapted according to Chinese characteristics.

Xu Yisong really put a lot of thought into this comeback album.

The original album already had ten songs, and now the B-side also has ten songs without reducing the quality or quantity. You can imagine the amount of work involved.

Because of their absolute confidence in this album, SM announced this special album in advance after Heo Yisong's birthday.

However, compared to expectations, people are not very optimistic about this album which has 20 songs, half of which are targeted at the Chinese market.

In the eyes of the mainstream media, China is a poor and backward place, although it is large and populous. This album is doomed to not achieve very good results.

Some people also think that the quality of this album will definitely be affected because there are twenty songs in it.

Due to various factors, the album did not perform well in the pre-sale stage. Almost everyone was waiting to see SM and bunny, a rising star who had been singing all the way since his debut, make a fool of themselves.

Xu Yisong doesn't care about the outside world's voices. Since he started preparing for this album, Xu Yisong has secluded himself and almost cut off contact with the outside world.

During this period of time, she seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.

After finishing the recording of the last song, Xu Yisong fell to the floor of the recording studio with a bang without any warning.

"Are you okay?" Kenzie was startled by her sudden fall and rushed in to see her. As soon as she came in, she saw Xu Yisong lying on the ground crying and laughing. She was so scared that she thought Xu Yisong had gone crazy from recording.

After lying on the ground for a while, Xu Yisong sat up by herself, holding the wallpaper on the wall with her hands and continuing to cry: "Wow, it's finally done!" God knows how she survived the past few months in the recording studio.

If resentment could be materialized, this recording studio would probably have been blown up by her resentment.

In SM, recording music is a painful process that makes people want to commit suicide, not to mention that Xu Yisong has to record a total of twenty songs.

If there is a hell in the world, it must be in SM's recording studio.

She could hardly feel her vocal cords anymore.

After confirming that Xu Yisong was just too excited and that everything else was fine, Kenzie helped her up with a smile, then opened a bottle of water and handed it to her, comforting her, "Look at the bright side, we have accomplished something that may make history."

The cool liquid passed through the throat, relieving the burning and sore throat caused by overuse.

Xu Yisong reached out and hugged Kenzie, clinging to her and laughing like a koala: "I don't need to make history, we just accomplished something great! That's enough."

She never does things for others, but only for herself.

As long as it was enough to satisfy herself, that was enough.

On February 7th, the Chinese New Year, bunny’s official account released a New Year’s video, and following the video was a special album preview song - "Hello, Encounter".

The first half is in Korean, while the second half is in Chinese.

The audience who heard this song were undoubtedly surprised. Korean audiences were surprised by the catchy melody of this song that went straight to their brains right from the start, and that this song was not lacking in quality as they had imagined, and was even a little too good to be true.

First time: It sounds good.

Second time: Hiss~ seems interesting.

The third time: Wow, I can’t stop.

People in China were surprised that the Korean singer spoke Chinese without any accent when he gave New Year greetings, and did not sound like a foreigner at all. Only then did they focus on the song.

At the beginning: There is something about this melody.

Halfway through listening: WTF, it’s in Chinese???

Finally: Do it a billion times more!!!

Maybe some people still have doubts about the album, but after listening to the first song, even if they still have doubts in their hearts, they will think about buying a copy to listen to it even if it is just for fun.

As long as someone thinks this way, the company's marketing has been successful.

So a week later, it was Xu Yisong’s debut anniversary and the day when his new album was officially released to everyone.

After listening to this new album, everyone realized how ridiculous their previous doubts were. The quality of this album is absolutely god-like.

From the theme to the concept to the content, every detail is exquisite and perfect.

Even the first pre-release song has a careful call back on the B side of the album.

The first song is called "Hello, Encounter", the beginning and chorus are in Korean, and the second half is in Chinese. The B-side corresponding to this song "Hello, Encounter" is another song with the same melody, called "Hello, Reunion". The two songs share the same accompaniment, but the beginning and chorus of "Encounter" are in Korean, while the beginning and chorus of "Reunion" are in Chinese.

And if you look closely, you will find that the Korean and Chinese lyrics are not direct translations, but corresponding story dialogues.
