When I Opened My Eyes I Was a Superstar - Chapter 158
# 159
Forever (1)
The song started with piano accompaniment and progressed rhythmically and powerfully. The melody of the chorus was also powerful.
Even though I only had a rough guide, the melody was so clear that I wanted to add lyrics to the repeated refrain. It was also a good melody to be played at important moments in dramas when the male and female protagonists meet.
“Oh…….is this composed and sung by a rookie? I think it would suit the writer’s drama very well, right? The song is really good. “I really want to be introduced!”
After hearing the song, team leader Shim Jun momentarily forgot that he had to win the main theme for the OST and spoke with pure admiration.
As soon as I heard it, I felt that it was a good song and that it was a very popular song.
It seemed like someone who composed songs of this level could easily compose a song that would be included in a Hit Entertainment singer’s album.
Plus, the tone was just as good as Do-wook’s. Even just listening to the rough guide, the comfortable tone and pitch were excellent.
“Oh my, since an expert said that, I really believe it. really.”
Director Kwon Mi-jeong nodded and said. Writer Jeong Eun-soo answered with a proud expression.
“Maybe he’s a new singer… I think so. “Actually, it was sent to me via email by a fan of mine.”
“A fan?”
“Yes, a while ago, I saw an article about ‘The Successors’ in the email and I heard that I composed and sang it myself…”
Writer Jeong Eun-soo continued.
“Honestly, at first, I thought it would be quicker to send something like a song to the company. I’m not really interested in OST… so the companies do it themselves. But I couldn’t help but listen to what he sent me as a fan, so I listened to it.”
“I liked it so much. It matches the atmosphere of the drama. It’s like watching a drama. Writer Jeong is pushing it, and the music director also said he likes it… so I’ll have to give it a go first.”
Director Kwon Mi-jeong said in a resigned tone. The actors’ agencies, investment companies, and broadcasting companies were all in a hurry to somehow include a song in the OST album, but the main theme song was handed over to a rookie who did not even know it.
As a result, if the song was good and had a positive effect on the drama, Hwa & Su production company would not hesitate. However, director Mi-jeong Kwon was having a hard time meeting the demands of writer Eun-soo Jeong.
“I……”
Do-wook, who had been quietly listening, spoke up.
The eyes of the three people who were talking to each other turned to Dowook at once. Dowook said with a slightly embarrassed and embarrassed expression.
“I… this is the email I sent…”
Everyone’s eyes widened at Do-wook’s words.
“Oh my!”
The first to notice the situation was Director Kwon Mi-jeong.
The person who was most fascinated was Team Leader Sim Jun. This was because it was something that Team Leader Sim Jun had no idea about.
“Yes… your song?”
Dowook smiled shyly and nodded.
“Wow…”
Team Leader Sim Jun was so entranced that he let out several exclamations. There was also a shock that he didn’t know it was Do-wook even after listening to the song he guided, having produced albums with Do-wook’s voice since his debut.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you. “I sent it to the author as a fan… I had no idea the author liked it this much…”
Writer Jeong Eun-soo also responded in a daze to Do-wook’s words.
“ah! I’m planning to reply tomorrow… But is this Do-wook’s song? Oh my god, I really didn’t know. It’s so amazing. For some reason, I really liked the song. “I heard Do-wook is good at composing music, and it’s true.”
“Ho Ho. So, you really have so much talent!”
Director Kwon Mi-jeong almost applauded in praise.
Do-wook, who decided to participate in the OST of ‘Heirs’, asked team leader Sim Jun to meet with the production company of ‘Heirs’.
Afterwards, while waiting for the meeting, I thought of the drama ‘Heirs’ that I watched the other day. Dowook also didn’t watch the entire episode, but he had enjoyable memories of watching episodes 1 through 8.
At the time, the OST wasn’t that famous, so it didn’t come to mind, but the popular scenes from ‘Heirs’ immediately came to mind.
It was the scene where the male protagonist meets the female protagonist for the first time in the blue sea and the scene where they confess. Thinking about those scenes, I could easily figure out what kind of song I should compose.
Dowook thought he couldn’t wait for a call from the production company. The drama was about to air, and OST work could also be in progress.
‘I have to try something…’
Dowook’s current desire to work on an OST was not necessarily about filling KK’s gap.
If KK were to record the OST for ‘Heirs’ and the results were not bad, KK would be recognized in the OST market.
If KK members could consistently participate in OST work, it would be of great help in many ways in the long term.
With many thoughts in his mind, Do-wook worked on the song in his spare time and sent it to writer Jeong Eun-soo by email.
I wondered if writer Eunsoo Jeong would listen to the song, but I also thought that if she did, she would probably like it.
‘It is true that writer Jeong Eun-soo already worked on the song knowing the content of the drama he wanted to write… so it is an advantage. ‘If writer Jeong Eun-soo would listen…’
Although there was no case where the writer directly participated in the OST, it was calculated that if writer Jeong Eun-soo liked it, it would definitely be advantageous.
The reason I didn’t reveal that I was KK was because I wanted to appeal to the fact that I composed the song purely as a fan.
In fact, this song was a song that naturally came to Do-wook’s mind while thinking of ‘Heirs’ before he thought of sending the e-mail, so the contents of the e-mail were half true.
However, there was no reply from writer Jeong Eun-soo who checked the email.
Dowook was a little disappointed, but he thought there was nothing he could do. Writer Jeong Eun-soo may have only read the email and not listened to the song, and since it was her first time composing an OST song, there may have been many shortcomings.
I was fortunate that the production company responded at that time, offering me a position.
The original plan was to win an OST song under the name of ‘K.K.’ Therefore, I couldn’t help but feel sad when I heard director Mi-jeong Kwon say that it would be difficult for KK to take the main theme song because writer Eun-soo Jeong had a different song she liked.
‘Isn’t it possible…’ What
came to Do-wook’s despondent ears was a song he had composed.
Perhaps because he recorded the guide in a hasty manner in his room at the office instead of recording in a studio in the office, his voice was difficult to hear, and even team leader Shim Jun didn’t know it was his own voice.
“If the owner of this song is Mr. Do-wook and K.K. sings it… I don’t think there will be any objection from the broadcasting company, right?”
“oh. Of course, writer Jeong. “I just need to appease a few agencies.”
Writer Jeong Eun-soo had a close relationship with director Kwon Mi-jeong, to the point where she called her sister. Director Mi-jeong Kwon was the one who guided Eun-soo Jeong from the time she was a new writer to where she is now.
At the two people’s words, Team Leader Sim Jun’s mouth opened wide and his face smiled. I felt like the matter had been resolved in one go with Do-wook’s unexpected email.
It was said that Do-wook would have contacted me anyway if I had just waited, but what was revealed here was very dramatic.
It was clear that this position would have brought Do-wook perfectly into the eyes of writer Jeong Eun-soo.
“Oh, but how did you write this song? I thought I had read the successors script. Was it leaked?”
Writer Jeong Eun-soo asked Do-wook cheerfully.
It wasn’t a bad lie, but Dowook hesitated a little before answering.
“Ah… I just saw the character introduction…”
“Wow, that’s really amazing. The more I see. “If I appear in Writer Jung’s drama later, will you write a song for me too?”
The atmosphere became even more cordial as Do-wook responded that he understood what Director Kwon Mi-jeong said.
***
‘Heirs’ first broadcast date.
The KK members sat around in front of the television in their dorm. It had been a long time since all six of us had gathered together to watch television.
An advertisement was playing on television. As expected, since it was a drama written by writer Jeong Eun-soo, there were a lot of advertisements, so the advertisements continued to appear.
“When watching a drama, at least eat a chicken….”
“Use it.”
Ahn Hyeong-seo, who had brought up the topic of chicken, immediately shut his mouth when Director Oh Baek-ho shouted. Ahn Hyeong-seo was definitely gaining energy as the comeback date approached.
My body completely improved, my neck condition recovered, and I was able to record the ‘Heirs’ OST without difficulty.
“There’s less than a month left until our comeback, so I need to take care of my body.”
“Yes…”
Ahn Hyeong-seo responded, pretending to be sullen, but Director Oh Baek-ho was not one to fall for something like that.
‘There are exactly 23 days left….’
Do-wook thought again, his gaze turned toward the television. The comeback date, which seemed like it would never come, was getting close enough that we had to count down D-DAY.
In the meantime, the KK members worked hard to prepare for their comeback, spending all their time in the practice room except for recording their own programs.
The choreography, which was difficult to follow at first, has now become so perfect that no matter how many times it is done, the movements are not wrong.
The recording of the title song had already been completed, so they were currently practicing live with MR on. The choreography was difficult, so performing live was definitely not easy.
“uh! Let’s begin! wow!”
Kim Won shouted. After the commercial, the broadcasting company’s logo appeared, and the first episode of ‘Heirs’ began.
From the beginning, it was an eye-catching scene with the California beach in the background. Joo Min-ho, who plays the shirtless male protagonist, played beach volleyball with beauties on a dazzlingly blue beach.
“Oh…”
Kim Won and other members’ mouths naturally opened.
Of course, it wasn’t because of Joo Min-ho’s strong muscular body. It was because of the Western beauties playing beach volleyball together.
“Close your mouth, close your mouth.”
Jeong Yoon-gi closed the chin of Kim Won, who was sitting next to him, with his hand and scolded him. Jeong Yoon-gi’s pupils were larger than usual for a moment, but he came to his senses the fastest.
Afterwards, the content of the ‘successors’ that Do-wook also knew continued. Watching the scene reminded me of a drama I watched before.
When there was a scene where the poor female protagonist, who lives a hard life working part-time, was crying alone near where the male protagonist lived, Seok Ji-hoon shook his head and said to himself.
“You’re really pretty when you cry. “That older sister has been this pretty ever since she was young.”
Hyungseo Ahn asked with shining eyes.
“Hey, what is it, youngest! “Do you know that beautiful woman?”
“We played child roles together.”
“It’s different as expected. Child actor…”
As I watched it, it was the last scene. The male protagonist found the female protagonist crying with a sad face and grabbed her hand.
The ending was in a scene where the female protagonist looks at the male protagonist, startled by his hand suddenly snatching him away.
And along with the ending, the ‘Say It’ OST of ‘Heirs’ sung by KK was played.
The KK members concentrated for a moment.
Tell me you like me –
I’ll tell you I love you –
Tell me you only see me –
Do-wook and Ahn Hyeong-seo’s voices singing in harmony were incorporated into the drama. Immediately after, Jung Yoon-ki’s rap continued and subtitles came out.
-The Heirs OST ‘Tell Me’ (K.K.) will be released at midnight today on Pineapple Music.
Along with reactions to the drama, reactions to KK’s OST also began to be posted on the Internet.
Director Oh Baek-ho checked his cell phone and spoke to the members.
“The music video filming location has been decided.”
While watching the trailer, the members’ heads, who were soaked in the lingering feelings of the drama and the OST song they sang, turned towards Manager Oh Baek-ho.
Director Oh Baek-ho’s expression was not good. Director Oh Baek-ho would also go to the filming location with KK members.
“You guys seem to be in big trouble now?”
