Chapter 86

After thinking of this classic song, Li Yuhao smiled and naturally closed the script, tossing it onto the back seat. "So boring, a soap opera, no, it should be a tear-jerking love movie." Li Yuhao said, then asked Lee Ji-eun's manager, "Uncle, do you know how much funding they plan to allocate for the OST?"

"Um... Didn't your manager tell you? They are using 100 million to find the theme song. This time, it's not just you who received the invitation; there are other songwriters as well."

"Oh? 100 million? Haha... I'm determined to get this 100 million. Haha... Uncle, take me to S.M."

Lee Ji-eun's manager was taken aback by Li Yuhao's words. "What?? Where are you going? S.M?"

"Why are you so nervous? Drive well. Don't you know I have a collaboration with S.M? I'm going to give the song to Kim Young-min."

Hearing Li Yuhao's words, he remembered the news S.M had recently announced, that Li Yuhao would be creating a song for Girls' Generation. He realized he had been worrying unnecessarily and found his previous surprise somewhat amusing.

While Li Yuhao was on his way to S.M, LOEN Entertainment released the cover of Li Yuhao's single. Li Yuhao was dressed in a white suit, black shirt, and white tie. His eyes were lined with smoky makeup, and he had a slight frown on his face, his head tilted slightly, making him look particularly cold...

Many high school girls couldn't help but exclaim when they saw Li Yuhao's new single cover. "Wow... Li Yuhao oppa's new look is so cool, a cold man."

"Everyone, look at my phone wallpaper. It's Li Yuhao oppa's new single look. So cool, I love him to death."

...

At the entrance of S.M's four-story building, fans were always waiting during the day, hoping to catch a glimpse of their favorite idols. Today was no exception. Fans of TVXQ, Super Junior, and SHINee were all holding their respective fan club banners, waiting at the company's entrance.

At this moment, a limousine drove up, and the crowd gathered excitedly. "Huh... Whose car is this? It's not SHINee's limousine, I remember their license plate."

"Never seen it before. It's probably not from S.M. I haven't heard of anyone getting a new car."

The limousine stopped accurately at the entrance of S.M. The fans waited curiously to see who would get out. The passenger door opened, and Li Yuhao stepped out, wearing a hat and glasses. "It's... Li Yuhao? Why is he at S.M?"

Li Yuhao smiled and waved to the high school girls at the entrance, then walked into S.M.

After Li Yuhao entered, his limousine drove away and parked to the side. A fan said, "Li Yuhao is collaborating with Girls' Generation, didn't you know? He must be here to meet them."

...

Once inside the company, Li Yuhao asked the receptionist, "Hello, is your CEO in the office?"

"Mr. Li Yuhao, please wait a moment, I'll call and check." The receptionist made a call and, after a short while, hung up and said to Li Yuhao, "Mr. Li Yuhao, our CEO is in the office. You can go up directly."

Li Yuhao nodded and asked again, "Are the members of Girls' Generation here?"

"They are, they should be in the practice room."

With that, Li Yuhao smiled and went upstairs. He felt a bit inexplicably annoyed coming to S.M again.

Li Yuhao arrived at Kim Young-min's office, and his assistant immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Li Yuhao, you're here." After a simple greeting, he knocked on Kim Young-min's door and pushed it open, "CEO, Mr. Li Yuhao is here."

Kim Young-min also stood up from his seat with a smile and welcomed Li Yuhao, "Mr. Li Yuhao, please come in, please sit down." Kim Young-min was genuinely grateful to Li Yuhao because the collision between D**ICHI and Li Yuhao had put CCM at a disadvantage. He was very happy about it, and since Li Yuhao had come to S.M today, it must mean the song was ready. How could he not be enthusiastic?

Li Yuhao also smiled and walked in. Kim Young-min then said to his assistant, "Go and make two cups of coffee." The assistant nodded and was about to leave when Li Yuhao said, "CEO Kim, please have the leader of Girls' Generation, Taeyeon, come up. I've finished their song, and we can go to your studio to listen to it."

"Alright... Let's go to the studio and listen to the song Mr. Li Yuhao has created." Kim Young-min then said to his assistant, "Go and inform Taeyeon to come to Yoo Young-jin's studio. Yes... Bring a few more cups of coffee."

After that, Kim Young-min led Li Yuhao to Yoo Young-jin's studio. Upon arriving, Kim Young-min introduced Yoo Young-jin, the company's top songwriter, to Li Yuhao, "Mr. Li Yuhao, this is our company's top songwriter, Yoo Young-jin."

Li Yuhao also greeted Yoo Young-jin with a smile, "Mr. Yoo Young-jin, hello. I'm the newcomer, Li Yuhao." After saying that, Li Yuhao extended his right hand, holding it with his left hand, to shake hands with Yoo Young-jin.

Yoo Young-jin also smiled and shook Li Yuhao's hand, saying, "Don't be so formal. We creators don't pay too much attention to such formalities. Sit down, everyone, sit down." Yoo Young-jin then looked at Kim Young-min, "Why did you suddenly bring Mr. Li Yuhao to my studio? Is there something you need?"

"It's like this, you know about our collaboration with Mr. Li Yuhao, right?" Seeing Yoo Young-jin nod, Kim Young-min continued, "Mr. Li Yuhao is here today to deliver the song. So we came to your studio to listen to the results."

Li Yuhao also smiled and took out a USB drive from his pocket, handing it to Yoo Young-jin, "This is the demo I made for the song, and the lyrics are stored inside. I've already divided the singing parts for each member of Girls' Generation based on their voices. Of course, if you don't want to use my division, you can do it yourselves."

Yoo Young-jin inserted the USB drive into his work computer, which contained an audio file and a document. The document was titled "Gee."

Yoo Young-jin was about to play the audio when Li Yuhao said, "Mr. Yoo Young-jin, we've already informed the leader of Girls' Generation, Taeyeon, to come up. Let's wait for her before we play it. After all, it's a song for Girls' Generation, and I want to hear Taeyeon's opinion on it."

Hearing Li Yuhao's words, Yoo Young-jin stopped the playback, and everyone waited for Taeyeon to arrive. Soon, Taeyeon came to the studio, greeting the CEO and Yoo Young-jin before smiling and waving to Li Yuhao.

Kim Young-min also smiled and said to Taeyeon, "Sit down, let's listen to the song Mr. Li Yuhao has created for you."

Yoo Young-jin played the song. The melody was very fresh and lively. In the demo, Li Yuhao only sang the chorus, "GEE... BABY..." until the song ended. Taeyeon frowned, clearly not liking the song.

Li Yuhao smiled and said, "This song is meant to express the charming and captivating cuteness of young girls who are just beginning to experience love and are at a loss. With the spontaneous performances in the MV, it will convey the unique bright and fresh charm of Girls' Generation. The song is very simple and catchy, but it also has a certain addictive quality."

Taeyeon frowned and said, "Li Yuhao, don't you think this song is too simple?"

"Haha, isn't simplicity good? Taeyeon, Girls' Generation is a group, not a solo act. Don't rely on your own singing skills and ignore the others. Do you want a song where only you, Seohyun, Sica, and Pani sing, and the others don't get a chance? Why do you think W.G's 'Tell Me' is so popular despite being simple?"

"Besides, you are Girls' Generation. If you don't sing such lively and fresh songs, should you sing sad songs like 'Like Being Shot'? That wouldn't make sense. Should we call you 'Heartbreak Generation'? A group of young girls singing sad songs on stage, does that make sense? Moreover, W.G has a retro style, and JEWELRY has a dance style. Girls' Generation was originally designed to have a youthful style, otherwise, they wouldn't be called Girls' Generation. 'Super Girls,' 'Darlings of the Era,' what great names."

Yoo Young-jin, who had been listening to the discussion, couldn't help but laugh at the mention of Girls' Generation's original name, "Pfft~~" interrupting Li Yuhao. He then awkwardly said to Li Yuhao, "Sorry, sorry, please continue."

"Girls' Generation! Taeyeon, what is a girl? A girl is full of youthful energy, lively and cute, full of hope for love and the future. If you keep singing about love and heartbreak, 'I'm heartbroken, I'm in pain, I've broken up, I love you, I love him,' you might as well call yourselves 'Heartbreak Generation.'"

Taeyeon was so angry at Li Yuhao's words that she pointed at him, ready to explode, "You..."

Kim Young-min stopped Taeyeon, "Kim Taeyeon!! What Mr. Li Yuhao said is right. There's no such thing as a simple song; it's all about whether it fits. Just like Mr. Li Yuhao's example, W.G's songs are simple but fit their style."
