After cleaning up the mess after dinner, the two couldn't help but discuss the mysteries of the human body before discussing music. The ancient saying that when one is well fed and clothed, one will think about sex is indeed the truth of life.

……

"Let's listen to some music." After recovering from her shock, Lee Ji-eun found her small speaker and said, "Let's do some serious work!"

"Okay." Chen Chen sat down at the coffee table in the living room, picked up the small speaker and looked around, then commented: "Your small speaker is pretty good, was it given to you by a fan?"

"Why do you think so?"

Li Zhien was puzzled.

"Because I recognize this brand, it's very expensive." Chen Chen showed the trademark on the audio and video. "If you were to buy it for yourself, you probably wouldn't buy it for yourself, because you basically don't need it."

"Well, it is indeed a fan gift." Li Zhien felt that she was seen through, and her expression was a little unhappy. "A fan brought it from overseas to my fan meeting and gave it to me."

"Fans who can go to the fan meeting are really talented." Chen Chen couldn't help but smack his lips, "Listen to the music! I have to solve this problem today!"

"okay!"

Li Zhien quickly poured two glasses of water.

Although Chen Chen didn't understand why she had to drink water while listening to music, it might be her personal habit, so Chen Chen chose to respect it.

"Is the phone connected?" Li Zhien said anxiously, "I'll listen first, and then you can introduce your ideas after I listen, okay?!"

"I understand." Chen Chen made an OK gesture, "Just wait."

……

"Strong wobble bass and rough synth sounds, and the drum beats are so dense." After listening to the first song, Li Zhien couldn't help but show a skeptical expression, "Are you addicted to rap again?"

The first song Chen Chen played was aespa's "Girls", and Lee Ji-eun's evaluation immediately showed her extremely high professionalism.

"Don't worry about the front part, just tell me whether the memorable chorus in the middle can meet my requirements!" Chen Chen squinted and said, "We need to focus on the key content, and the rest can be changed at any time."

"You can easily change what you said at any time, but you are Chen Chen and you are qualified to say so." Li Zhien rolled her eyes and continued, "The important chorus part is very explosive, and the explosion can also create a grand picture."

"If you write the lyrics well and do the post-production well, there should be no problem. There are many girls in Integrate who can sing, and they have enough explosive power to support the burst you want to make in the middle."

"If we repeat it once or twice as usual, the audience's hearts will start beating fast at this point."

"This song is very distinctive. Even if it wasn't written by you, Chen Chen, it's definitely not shameful to show it out." Li Zhien concluded, "My evaluation is 100% sufficient."

The works created with Lee Soo Man's participation will definitely have unique features.

Chen Chen smiled slightly, kept Li Zhien's evaluation in mind, and clicked on the second song.

"OK, let's listen to the second song."

Chen Chen himself felt that the "Fantasy Fairy Tale" by the Shorty King was not good enough, but he still wanted to hear what Lee Ji-eun had to say.

"This doesn't quite fit the theme you set." Li Zhien's evaluation was similar to Chen Chen's. "It's a bit floating, and it gives people a feeling of being elegant and light, like dancing."

"Haha, this one is excluded directly, right?" Chen Chen quickly flipped through his phone, "I've wanted to do this for a long time, and finally I found the opportunity!"

"Don't put the blame on me, okay!" Li Zhien punched Chen Chen in dissatisfaction, "How did you get to this point if you don't have this much judgment?! The number one producer in South Korea?!"

"Then don't worry about it. There are all kinds of factors." Chen Chen didn't pick up the topic. He gave Li Zhien some time to react and prepared the third song. "It's coming. Just take it."

The third song is "Run For Roses" by NMIXX.

"It's enough, but it's not enough for your girl group Integrate." Li Zhien's words were a bit heartbreaking, "It's a bit thin and can't bear the pressure of the halo of you and your biological girl group." Of course, it wasn't Chen Chen's heart that was hurt. After hearing it, he just felt that Li Zhien's evaluation was really sharp.

"Run For Roses" is indeed good, but as a work of NMIXX it is indeed a bit thin, which is a problem of temperament.

Is it possible that temperament can be transmitted across time and space?
"As expected of someone whose debut song was 'Lost', I like your evaluation very much." Chen Chen nodded at her.

"What happened to my "Lost"? It's great! Isn't it?!"

IU felt that this person was laughing at her and put on a fierce face.

"Yes, it's very good. I'm praising you. When I listened to "Lost", the first thing I felt was the heaviness." Chen Chen reached out and rubbed her head. "It's a pity that the 15-year-old IU can't bear such a heavy work. It's normal for you to be depressed in the early stage."

"It's all in the past, so let's not talk about it." Lee Ji-eun sniffed, "What about the fourth song?"

"Come here."

Chen Chen pulled back his arm and clicked on new songs. The fourth song was "Blue Blood" by ive.

"Um, are you going to work on the vocals for this song?" Li Zhien was a little confused. "Just listening to the part you produced now, it's not outstanding at all compared to the other works you brought out today."

"Well, the focus is on the vocals and the scene arrangement." Chen Chen spread his hands, "It's impossible for the music to complete all the work, other aspects have to help too!"

Although Chen Chen believed that the producer intentionally processed the vocals to cover up Ive's lack of singing ability, he had to say this to Lee Ji-eun now.

And what does it have to do with Integrate if Ive can’t sing? I can sing it!
"You've thought a lot about this song, so you can be a candidate." Li Zhien rubbed her ears to relax, "Are there any more? If not, choose one between one and four."

"There is another one, listen to it."

Chen Chen said this and took out his cell phone again.

"You've prepared so much, but you shouldn't be so close to your own daughter, right?!" Li Zhien took two steps back suddenly, and her eyes became a little abnormal when she looked at Chen Chen, "Tell me the truth, are there really any relatives of yours in there?!"

"It's just that I'm a little more prepared. Besides, if I can't use it this time, I can still use it in the future. It's not like it will be sealed forever if I fail." Chen Chen reached out and pulled Li Zhien back to the speaker. "Listen first. This is the last song."

The last song is called "Step Back", which was released by S.H.I.E. by putting together the female artists in the group to form a girl group.

Chen Chen, a member of the group, had had a lot of exposure to it, so naturally he also got this song. In a flash of inspiration, he also produced half of it.

"How about it?"

Li Zhien didn't say anything after listening, which made Chen Chen feel a little unconfident and he had to ask.

"Yu Young-jin?"

Li Zhien suddenly uttered a very scary name, which scared Chen Chen.

"Ah? What happened to Yu Yongzhen?"

Chen Chen was sweating profusely, but he had to pretend that he knew nothing.

"It's a bit like Yoo Young Jin's style, maybe I made a mistake." Lee Ji Eun was a little embarrassed, "I'm also producing it myself, and some outstanding domestic producers are paying attention to it. There's a little bit of Yoo Young Jin's style in the song."

You are not mistaken, this is Yu Yongzhen's!
"Haha, it's common to mistake a producer's style." Chen Chen laughed. "After all, there are so many excellent producers in South Korea, and their styles must overlap."

"But this is not what we should be concerned about now." Chen Chen got back to the point and said seriously, "We've listened to all five songs, it's time to make a choice!"

"This." Li Zhien blinked her big eyes innocently, "I can't choose."
