a Recommended Song: .ay.
"Oh, her eyes, which make the stars look tarnished, and her hair, which falls naturally and perfectly, she is so beautiful, I tell her every day. (Person.) Yes, I know that when I praise her, she won't believe me, and even then, she will regret not seeing what I see. But every time she asks me, 'Am I pretty?' I say, 'When I see your face, everything about you is so perfect, you are so amazing because of you, and when you smile, the whole world is overwhelmed with you, because you are so amazing, because it is you." ”
The song was written by Lee Joon-yi for his and Lim Yoon-a's one-year anniversary, and it's called ".ay." It can be translated as "because it's you" or it can be interpreted as "because you're like this". Lee Joon-yi thinks that Lin Yuna is very good, everything is fine, and he will like her just because she is Lin Yun'er, and just because she is Lin Yun'er.
It is said that "in the eyes of the lover", men in love are always affectionate and sweet. Lee Joon-yi is not very good at saying these sweet words, but his emotions can be vividly displayed through the melody and lyrics. This song, with a lot of affection, is definitely a true portrayal of a couple in love, and when you listen to this song, even the air is sweet and sweet, which makes people feel sweet.
"Inception" was officially completed on January 9th, and from the start of filming in September to the present, this is the longest filming time Lee Joon-yi has ever experienced, and it took about four months to shoot. Christopher Nolan didn't even stop, and went straight back to the studio to start post-production. This time, Li Zhunyi had time to attend the finale banquet, but Christopher Nolan's early departure made the crew not very interested. In the end, Lee Joon-yi and Joseph Levitt and Alan Peggy went to the party on their own.
After leaving the "Inception" crew, Lee Joon-yi officially announced that there was no script to shoot for the time being, and the last part of the "Twilight" series, "Dawn", is still being adapted and is expected to start filming in the fall of this year, so there is no hurry. There is no script work anymore, which does not mean that Lee Joon-yi is idle, he has said many times that his English album has begun to prepare. After the filming of the movie, Lee Joon-yi's life naturally shifted from the set to the recording studio.
The U.S. branch of the Yi family officially moved over Christmas, renting a three-story office building on Sunset Avenue and converting the basement into a recording studio for Lee Joon-yi. The equipment in the studio is all the latest products, and the investment in this studio is a lot of money, and Fred Pyle jokes, "If it weren't for this studio, we could have bought this building." "It's a joke, of course, but it also shows the cutting edge of the studio's equipment.
The Yi family's new office is only a fifteen-minute walk from Will Red's studio, and maybe seven or eight minutes away from a skateboard. In the past, it was Lee Joon-yi who mixed with Will Rhett's recording studio, but now, Will Rhett has become a frequent visitor to Lee Joon-yi's studio. In addition, Mike Arnold has also been to the studio twice and has made a lot of comments on Lee Joon-yi's new album.
The producer consultant sent by Sony is called Teddy Riley, and as the producer of Michael Jackson, he also excavated the current little diva Rihanna. Teddy Riley is definitely a top producer in the field of R*B and soul music. Park Jin-young's most wanted producer in Hollywood, besides Mike Arnold, is Teddy Riley, and YG's main producer Teddy also regards Teddy Riley as his idol. Teddy Riley's status in the industry is on par with Mike Arnold, and he is definitely the best of the best.
When Teddy Riley first visited Lee Joon-yi's studio, he unexpectedly met Mike Arnold, which obviously changed Teddy Riley's opinion of Lee Joon-yi. Originally, Teddy Riley had the idea of coming over to test it, he didn't want to be preconceived, thinking that it was a mule or a horse that had to be slippery, so he planned to see Li Zhunyi's work in the recording studio before making a judgment. But he didn't expect to meet Mike Arnold, which made Teddy Riley's impression of Lee Joon-yi skyrocket.
Because Lee Joon-yi's recording studio has the most cutting-edge equipment, Hans Zimmer, Christopher Nolan's royal soundtrack producer, is also responsible for the soundtrack production of "Inception" this time, and he has also come to Lee Joon-yi's studio many times to edit and produce the soundtrack of "Inception".
Lee Joon-yi once participated in the OST production of "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop", including the soundtrack, and the soundtrack of "Beethoven Virus" was mostly classical, and Lee Joon-yi was unable to participate, but he still provided a lot of opinions on the OST. So seeing Hans Zimmer's soundtrack work was a great inspiration to Lee Joon-yi and taught him a lot.
Teddy Riley, Hans Zimmer, Mike Arnold, if you add Will Rhett, who basically takes this place as his second home, and Sean Hamilton, who flashes from time to time, Lee Joon-yi's recording studio is indeed full of big names, and the gathering of various big-name producers is definitely not a little bit or two for Lee Joon-yi's album.
"Hey, Yi, has you made any progress on that 'Apologize'?" Teddy Riley has been here lately only to Will Rhett, and Teddy Riley is also in his forties, not much younger than Mike Arnold. But this big black man with a beard is different from the general impression of most black HIpHOp and R*B producers of flamboyance, personality, and maverickism, he is a little introverted, is a very introverted person, and actually believes in Buddhism, and the Buddhist bead bracelet he wears on his right hand is one of his favorites, and it is completely broken by people's glasses. So he and Li Zhunyi quickly became acquainted.
Recently, Teddy Riley and Mike Arnold have both expressed great interest in Lee Joon-yi's "Apologize", and even the occasional flash of Hans Zimmer has expressed his affection for the song. You must know that although Lee Joon-yi has made a lot of progress in the creation of this song in the past year, the song is still only a remnant, and the completion is only half over. Therefore, every day they see Lee Joon-yi, they will urge him to finish the song, eager to see the finished version of the song.
What is needed to create this thing is inspiration, it is a spark, and Lee Joon-yi has been very happy recently, from the song ".ay." It can be seen that the latest progress of "Apologize" is when I was in South Korea before, I met Nikun, heard about Jang Keun Suk and Han Geng, and finished writing the lyrics, but in terms of melody, it is still incomplete.
Recently, however, while studying with Hans Zimmer, Lee Joon-yi had some inspiration. Mainly because of the story in "Inception", the idea they want to implant is related to apologizing and changing their minds, but the theme is not love, but the family relationship between father and son. Lee Joon-yi has some feelings in his mind, but he has not been able to make the trip yet. Nearly a year has passed since the song "Apologize" was first written, and it has not yet been written, and Lee Joon-yi is really not sure when it will be completed.
"Give it to Hans. This is Lee Joon-yi's answer to Teddy Riley, and they both know that Hans Zimmer's recent soundtrack work has given Lee Joon-yi some inspiration, which is why Lee Joon-yi has such an answer.
Teddy Riley looked around, took a bottle of beer from the table, and handed it to Lee Joon-yi, "Hans you want." Li Zhun Yi couldn't cry or laugh at all, this joke is really boring, Hans Beer, this is the "Hans" that Li Zhun Yi wants.
"Yi, the promotion plan for this album has come out, do you want to see it?" Originally, Sony's publicity department contacted Fred Pyle to discuss this matter, but recently Teddy Riley came too often, so he brought it directly.
At first, Sony was a little apprehensive, but the feedback from Teddy Riley gave them confidence was a big boost. Teddy Riley is full of praise for Lee Joon-yi, which is not a common occurrence in the restrained and humble Teddy Riley. Li Zhunyi's biggest advantage is not his talent, but his learning ability, he will not be proud or blind, he is willing to absorb other people's opinions, and is keen to discuss views with others. Therefore, during this time, Li Zhunyi did learn a lot from Teddy Riley and others, and Mike Arnold also shouted, "I don't come in the future, I don't have much to learn from me."
With Teddy Riley's assurance, he gave Lee Joon-yi's five-star rating on the quality of the album, which was still at the beginning of the recording, which gradually boosted Sony's confidence. Therefore, the promotion plan for the album also came out about a month earlier than expected. Originally, Sony planned to release Lee Joon-yi's first English-language album in March and April, and it would not hurt to postpone it for about a month, but now it seems that Sony has plans to adjust the release plan: because of confidence in Teddy Riley and Lee Joon-yi.
"What's the plan?" Lee Joon-yi didn't go through the plan, that Fred Pyle just watched it, his work was still recording.
"The company is planning to release a single first, warm up and warm up, and then release an album. "Actually, this is how mature music markets work, both in Japan and in the United States.
"Isn't this the way to release albums in the United States?" Lee Joon-yi was a little puzzled, this seems to be the rule of all singers releasing albums, and it seems that it is no longer common to release only albums or singles.
"Yes, but the company has enough confidence in you this time, so I'm going to release three or four singles first, and your album won't be released until the summer. Teddy Riley's expression was also a little excited, it was with his promotion that Sony made such a plan for Lee Joon-yi's first English album, which made him very excited, "The company is even ready to release singles for all ten songs of your album, and shoot ten MVs, the company's budget is sufficient."
Such a situation is not normal for a newcomer to the record.
