On August 1, 08 EST, Warner Records announced that it would hold a debut press conference for its singer Jimmylee (Li Xianhao) at Madison Square Garden in New York on August 6. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
As soon as the announcement came out, there was an uproar in the North American music industry, and they all speculated about where this Jimmylee was sacred, and he could actually let Warner Records rent Madison Square Square for him to make a press conference.
Madison Square Garden, commonly known as Madison Square Garden, is often used for various large-scale sporting events, big star concerts, etc., and is not well-known and not qualified to use this place, so those who can come here are well-known people with a certain reputation and status.
But who is this new singer Jimmylee, who suddenly appeared, and how could Warner Records rent Madison Square Garden for his debut show?
Soon, some media have become clear about who this so-called rookie singer Jimmylee is, the author of the song "Baby" who recently won the sixth place on the B list.
Of course, this is just the identity of Li Xianhao dug up by some superficial media, some senior media already know that this rookie singer Jimmylee is the mysterious composer Jimmy, who has produced many hit songs for Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Avril, Akon and other big-name singers, and is also a shareholder of Microsoft, a top student and professor at Stanford University, and the only son of the chairman of the South Korean large group CJ Group, with many dazzling halos in one, and now he actually entered the music scene, or entered the European and American music scene as an Asian, which made these media focus on Li Xianhao again。
The media, which knew Li Xianhao's identity, quickly divided into several parties to discuss this matter.
Those media who think that white people are superior think that Li Xianhao, an Asian, has entered the European and American music scene, and the regional culture is different, and when the time comes, he will definitely come on the spot, return disappointed, and hide back to Asia to entertain himself, and his many identities will not work in North America, let alone in the music world, and writing songs is different from singing, and it is good to be able to write and sing, how many are there in the world? So these media are waiting to see Li Xianhao's jokes, and when Li Xianhao leaves with a disgraced face, they will laugh at him again.
And some media also want to give Li Xianhao a dismissal at the press conference, so that he knows that the North American music scene is not so easy to mix.
There are those who oppose it, and there are naturally those who support it, but compared to the opposing voices, the people who support it themselves are not so confident. It is true that Li Xianhao can compose, and there are many famous songs, and his first song has also achieved good results, but if he wants to mix in the North American music scene, it is different.
As we all know, South Korea's so-called "world" star Rain wanted to mix in the North American music scene, but in the end he still left in disgrace, and even wanted to hold a concert, but was rejected by the organizers in North America for various reasons, which made Rain's concert a laughing stock, and finally got to the point of being sued.
Of course, they may not know that SM's biggest artist, Bao'er, also announced his entry into the North American music scene in December 08 in the previous life, but Bao'er, which was all the rage in Asia, Japan and South Korea, developed like a joke in the United States, and finally could only slowly withdraw from the North American music scene, and also lost a lot of the market in Japan and South Korea, which is the base camp.
Not only in the music industry, but also in the film and television industry, as long as you are from Asia, non-Caucasian, no matter how big a brand you are in your home country, it is difficult for European and American whites to accept.
Therefore, it is difficult for foreign whites in Europe and the United States to accept a non-Caucasian for eternity, which is also the reason why those who support Li Xianhao do not have much hope for Li Xianhao.
In addition to the opponents who support Li Xianhao and wait to see Li Xianhao's jokes, there are also some people who are more sensible, they are watching from the sidelines, everything depends on the strength to speak, Li Xianhao is very powerful in computers, and he is also talented in composition, and there is a hot song that has been shortlisted for the B list, but it does not mean that he can mix in the North American music scene, all of this depends on the strength of his future works to speak.
No matter whether the major media ridiculed Warner's mistakes, or whether well-known musicians did not give praise to Li Xianhao's song "Baby", Warner still insisted on its own decision.
On August 6th, Madison Square Garden, New York, the stage of the press conference that has been arranged is very powerful, with a height of 8 meters and a width of 22 meters.
Reporters from major media outlets who have already received the news have been waiting here for a long time, and reporters with various reasons are ready to record today's big show.
"Society... Chief, can I not go?" Liu Renna, who followed Li Xianhao over this time, said a little timidly. Since Quan Shiying took Liu Renna for a few days, Liu Renna has been able to handle Li Xianhao's secretary affairs independently, and Liu Renna naturally came to the United States this time.
But in South Korea, she is a trainee that no one knows, where has she ever seen such a big battle and appear at the world-famous stage Madison Square Garden? Although the protagonist is not her, but following Li Xianhao's side, she is not so confident, Li Xianhao's height of 185cm, plus shoes are more than 190cm, and Liu Renna wears high heels is only about 175cm, compared with foreign women who are generally very tall, she is a short person, of course, the main thing is not the problem of height, but her lack of confidence in herself, after all, she is nothing now, even Li Xianhao's secretary is only a few days, if it is Quan Shiying, there will be no unconfident thoughts, after all, with Li Xianhao's side, the people he sees are big shots, plus Li Xianhao's status is noble, her identity naturally rises with the tide, but Liu Renna has not yet cultivated the self-confidence that has been generated by following Li Xianhao for a long time, so Liu Renna retreated in the face of this press conference.
"Ren Naxi, you are my secretary, how can you not go? It's good to see and see the international stage, this is also a kind of exercise in acting, and there will be no stage fright when acting in the future." Li Xianhao walked into the car door opened by Liu Mingyu and smiled at Liu Renna: "Come on, it's too late to stay for a while." ”
Liu Renna saw that she couldn't refuse, so she had to sit up.
The day before, Li Xianhao had rushed from Hollywood to New York and stayed at the Hilton Hotel prepared for him by Warner, so after breakfast today, Li Xianhao drove to Madison Square under the leadership of Warner personnel.
In less than 10 minutes of driving, Li Xianhao and his party had arrived at Madison Garden Plaza, and Liu Mingyu and two other bodyguards escorted Li Xianhao out of the car.
Although Li Xianhao is not a big star, but the reporters and some fans present also exceeded 1,000 people, and the scene was also lively and vibrant.
"Jimmylee, let's say a few words and then go, why did you think of coming to the United States to develop? Or is it a music scene that you are not familiar with?"
"Hey Jimmy, can you stop and interview you first? What made you give up the software industry and enter the music industry?"
…………
"Jimmy, your "baby" sounds good, we support you ......"
"Jimmy, looking forward to your better work, youaremy "baby"!"
In addition to the reporter asking questions first, there are also Li Xianhao's fans waving their flags and shouting, obviously, hardcore fans who are not Li Xianhao will not come here, although the number is not large, it also proves that Li Xianhao still has a certain popularity base in North America.
…………
"I'm sorry, I'm not in a hurry to interview now, we will have a reporter's question time after the press conference, thank you. Warner's staff commanded the on-site maintenance personnel to escort Li Xianhao and his party to the press table.
Liu Renna followed behind Li Xianhao but lowered her head very low, for fear of being targeted by these foreign media reporters, how did she know that with Liu Mingyu and two other burly bodyguards on both sides, where would those reporters focus on her, a short Asian.
…………
"Hey, Jimmy, you're finally here. McCarina, as the vice president who signed a contract with Li Xianhao, was also the main person in this press conference, and when she saw Li Xianhao coming, she hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
"Well, I'm not late, Miss Lena is getting more and more feminine. Li Xianhao praised with a smile.
"Thanks, Jimmy, who is this one behind you, why does it seem to be stage fright?" McAlina glanced at Liu Renna behind Li Xianhao and smiled.
"Oh, that's my new secretary, and I haven't gotten used to it yet. ”
"It's so small, as if a gust of wind can blow it away, haha. McAlina joked.
"Okay, let's go backstage to prepare first, at 9 o'clock, the press conference will officially begin, I have to remind you of a few things to pay attention to......" McCarina beckoned Li Xianhao and his party to the backstage, and told Li Xianhao what to say at the press conference and how to deal with reporters' questions.
Although Li Xianhao has had a similar experience and knows how to face reporters, in a foreign country, especially in the United States, Li Xianhao is still not as good as the experienced vice president of Warner, so McCallina reminded him of them one by one.
Liu Renna, who retreated to the backstage, seemed much more relaxed, no longer had to face so many cameras, although she didn't understand English very well, but seeing Li Xianhao's way of talking and laughing, she also admired him very much, although she was still indignant about Li Xianhao's frivolity in her heart, but it is undeniable that Li Xianhao is undoubtedly the perfect man, a public lover, Liu Renna just can't ignore Li Xianhao, so she will continue to choose to be his secretary after Li Xianhao is light on her.
