Chapter 18: YDP (Must Read Today)
In the composition room, Gong Cheng bit his cigarette, clasped his hands behind his head, and leaned back on the sofa.

Kim Dae-woo left to work on other matters related to the album.

According to Gong Cheng's original idea, a debut mini album would have five songs, and he would produce 2-3 of them himself, and choose the remaining one or two from the company's music library. However, he didn't expect the company to be so unsupportive, and he had to produce the entire album by himself.

But there's nothing he can do about it. This is his debut album, and he doesn't want to mess it up!
After thinking about it, he stood up, turned on his computer, and opened his personal music library, "It's a pity to give it to others."

It is interesting to say that when he produced these songs, he was a student of the composition department of Yonsei University. His earliest plan for the future was to become a producer, so he followed the example of famous producers such as Shinsadong Tiger and Erdan Horizontal Kick and gave himself a nickname "It's a pity to give it to others".

As the name suggests, it contains many songs he has produced in the past two years, which he is very optimistic about. Not only are there Hip Hop songs, there are even a few girl group songs.

"TT" and "Russian Roulette", if I remember correctly, the reason for creating these two girl group songs was because they were assignments given by my teacher when I was studying at Yonsei University.

The rest are some Hip Hop style songs and a few lyrical songs.

Moreover, as early as two years ago when it was created, someone was asked to register the copyright. After all, in the Peninsula, the public attaches great importance to copyright. The copyright fees of many talented producers alone are higher than the income of some stars and idols each year.

This is also one of the reasons why producers, writers and the like have an outstanding status on the peninsula.

"No, we should show these two songs to Park Jin Young later?" Gong Cheng looked at the two girl group songs "TT" and "Russian Roulette" hesitantly.

He remembered that when these two songs were first produced, mentor Shin Haojing gave them high praise, but he was still a little unsure. After all, before that freestyle song, none of his creations had been verified by the market.

At that time, if Park Jin Young is interested, he can also earn some copyright fees. After all, he can't sing the songs of this girl group.

"'Link' and 'Timid', these two songs are quite suitable in style." Gong Cheng looked at the two songs in front of him, both of which were Hip Hop styles. One song, 'Link', was full of street style, very noisy and brainwashing, while the other song, 'Timid', was more lyrical.

But how should I put it, it doesn't quite match the style I envisioned for this album.

Then, he passed "Cowardly" first. This song needs to find other artists to collaborate with, and it can be put in the next album that tries to transform. The pop style is OK with this lyrical Hip Hop.

Moreover, this song means a lot to him, as it was written when he was in a low point.

As for "Link," he's a bit unsure, so he might as well put it on the back-up list for this debut album! Or, if possible, it could be a pre-release track alongside the freestyle.

……

Recovering his thoughts, Gong Cheng listened to the footsteps getting closer and closer in the corridor, looked up at the person coming, and asked:
"Brother Zhenying, why are you here?"

He suppressed his surprise and said helplessly, "I was just about to look for you, Brother Zhenying, but I didn't expect you to come."

"I just ran into Kim Dae-woo, and he told me about the included songs. It just so happens that I need to check out Twice's comeback practice today, so I came to see you." Park Jin-young sat on the sofa, looking at the ashtray on the table, and reminded him, "Xiao Cheng, when the debut trailer comes out, don't smoke in public."

"Yes, I know Jinyoung."

Park Jin Young nodded and said nothing more. After spending the past few days with him, he had figured out Gong Cheng's temperament and character.

He smokes, drinks, has no tattoos, and certainly doesn't have the bad habits of those so-called underground rappers who get involved in all sorts of messy things. As for smoking and drinking, it's not really a problem. Many of the company's male and female artists smoke privately. After all, being an idol or a star is stressful and demanding. Between die-hard fans and haters, everyone needs a way to release their emotions.

All in all, Gong Cheng gave him much less worries than those legal experts in YG.

"Listen, Jinyoung-hyung, what do you think of these two songs being included on the album?"

Gong Cheng stood up and gave up his seat, ready to let Park Jin Young help him check.

Park Jin-young was not polite either. He put on headphones and watched the songs "Get on and Off the Car", "Alarm",

"..."

After a while, he took off his headphones with admiration in his eyes. No wonder his old college classmate Shen Haojing valued his disciple so much.

Take the two compositions in front of us for example, the melodies are very catchy and catchy, the style is really unique, and the lyrics are also very profound, with the potential to stand out and become a big hit. After all, Hip Hop is still quite popular in the peninsula.

"How is it, Brother Zhenying, I hope I didn't disappoint you?" Gong Cheng pursed his lips and wanted to take out a cigarette, but looking at Park Zhenying in front of him, he thought for a moment and put the cigarette back into the box.

"Go ahead." Park Jin Young agreed with a smile. He was very tolerant of talented and capable people.

Gong Cheng, who was biting a cigarette in front of him, had a talent for composing that was even more amazing than when he first saw Gong Cheng's face.

"In my opinion, although the underlying tone of your lyrics is gray, they are very powerful. Perhaps it's because you've seen so much darkness from the bottom of society that you've developed an uplifting spirit!" Park Jin-young recently learned a lot about Gong Cheng's past and is aware that the content of these two songs encompasses a lot of his past. "This is very rare. In my opinion, whether it's music, film, or all artistic works, regardless of whether they sound good or not, the most important thing is emotion!"

"Also, the chorus has a catchy, catchy melody, and has the potential to go viral..."

Park Jin-young stroked his chin and gave many serious comments.

"Yes, Jinyoung. If that's okay, then these two songs will definitely be included on the album. As for the rest, give me a few more days and we'll discuss which one will be the title song," Gong Cheng said. "Also, I have a few more songs here. Jinyoung, can you help me see if it's possible to release them together with the freestyle song as pre-release tracks?"

As he spoke, he brought out the lyrics and melody of "The Link."

"Okay, what about the name of the album, Xiao Cheng?" Park Jin Young was a little curious about what kind of work Gong Cheng could come up with next.

"The name of the album?" Gong Cheng looked at Park Jin Young with some surprise. "Brother Jin Young, can I decide?"

"Hey, brat! If you're going to produce the entire album yourself, what's a name? When the time comes to shoot the MV, if you have any ideas, you can also bring them up." Park Jin Young said unhappily. He had just looked at the songs that Kim Dae Woo got from the music library. To be honest, they were not as good as the ones produced by Gong Cheng himself.

Since it has been decided to let Gong Cheng produce it himself, he certainly has the final say on many production issues.

“Oh, then the album name should be ‘YDP’.”

"Ok?"
