Chapter 313: Arriving in New York

On August 31, 2011, Hancheng time, Li Shuo took his team to New York, USA, with a total of eight team members, in addition to Li Shuo, Kwon Zhilong, TOP and Kim Namjoon, Kang GARY, Ji, Yoon Mi-rae and tiger jk also accompanied him.

Among them, Tiger JK and Yoon Mi-rae are husband and wife, and they should be known through Yoo Jae-seok's 2009 Unprovoked Song Festival, which can be said to be the absolute existence of the originator of Hanseong rappers.

Tiger JK, born in Seoul in 1974, the eldest son of the family, immigrated to the United States with his parents at the age of 12 to study taekwondo in Miami and earn a 5th degree black belt. After witnessing violent clashes between African Americans and Korean Americans in Los Angeles as a teenager, he decided to use music to bridge the racial divide. At the age of 16, he joined Drunken Tiger and became a part of it.

He and his team are considered pioneers in the HipHop scene in Hanseong.

Yoon Mei Lai... Female, born on May 31, 1981 in Portland, Texas, USA, mixed American and Korean descent. Singer. Yoon Mi-rae is the premier female rapper in Hanseong, the absolute senior, she and her husband Tiger JK, the two of them can be called the highest combination of Hanseong's hip pop music, it is no exaggeration to say that it is Beyonce and Jay-Z of Hanseong.

These two people were introduced by Kang GARY and Ji, because with these two people, the songs written by Lee Seok will be even better, and the three of them are teaching Kwon Ji-ryong, TOP and Kim Nam-joon, tiger jk and Yoon Mi-rae are more qualified.

Of course, there are also three rap songs written by Li Shuo, although Li Shuo copied them, Tiger JK and Yoon Meilai still have a lot of valuable opinions, which Li Shuo did not expect.

...........................

Li Shuo prepared three songs for this battle, the first song "Young, ild & Free", the second song "iggle", and the third song "iggle"

The song "Young, ild & Free" should be released on October 11, 2011, and it is a collaboration between rappers Snoop Dogg and iz Khalifa.

The song was so strong that it reached number 10 on the Billboard Hot Singles chart in its first week of release. With 159,000 downloads, the song is the best hit chart debut of Snoop Dogg's 18-year career. And iz also won his third personal top 10 gold song in the United States with this song, and it was also the second highest single debut score in his career.

This song has been on the Billboard chart for 32 weeks, peaking at No. 8, and is definitely a heartwarming song.

The second song, "iggle", is a dog and the lead single from American singer Jason Deruro's 2014 album "Talk Dirty", which was on the chart for 21 weeks, with the highest number 5 and the first 19 weeks.

The melody of this song is very fresh, and people are used to remembering it once they listen to it, which is why this song can gain influence!

The last song, and Li Shuo's biggest killer feature, is "See You Again", a song sung by American rapper Wiz Kalifa and singer Charlie Puss, released on March 17, 2015, included in the movie "Fast and Furious 7" soundtrack album and Charlie Puss's studio album "Nine Track Mind" released on January 29, 2016, as the ending song and theme song of the movie. The song was written by DJ Frank E, Charlie Puss, Wiz Kalifa and Andrew Sidal, among others.

The influence of this song is really crazy, "See You Again" has reached the top of the music charts in more than 20 countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, and Germany. On the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart, the song topped the charts for a total of 12 weeks. In 2015, the song was nominated for "Song of the Year", "Best Pop Collaboration" and "Best Film and TV Song" at the 58th Grammy Awards. On July 10, 2017, the song video surpassed Psy's "Gangnam Style" with 2.894 billion views and became the most viewed video on YouTube

The first two songs of Li Shuo's three songs are the dog's own songs, Li Shuo uses him to attack the shield of the son with the spear of the son, and the latter song is used to move the world, so that fans around the world will like this song, and then stand behind Li Shuo together, so that the dog will lose the heart.

And Jiang GARY and the others also began to have confidence in Li Shuo after hearing Li Shuo's three songs, because these three songs are really amazing, they are simply incomparable, especially the last one.

I remember that Tiger JK looked at Li Shuo in amazement after listening to the last song and couldn't help nodding: "It turns out that this is the strength of Hancheng's No. 1 music producer." ”

..............................

The time was 13:40 in the afternoon, Li Shuo and his entourage arrived at the New York airport, and as soon as they got off the plane, Li Shuo and others immediately ushered in the long guns and short cannons of American reporters.

And for these American reporters, Li Shuo and others collectively bowed at 90 degrees to express their gratitude, which made American reporters a little stunned, because when did their artists be so polite to their own people?

It's just that although Li Shuo and others showed enough respect, but in the eyes of American reporters, Li Shuo and others still came to look for death this time, just when Li Shuo and others were about to go to the nanny car, suddenly a shout sounded outside the venue: "Hancheng sticks, wait to die in the United States, our rap music is not something you Hancheng sticks can touch?"

Li Shuo looked back, it was a Chinese who shouted, looked at the other party Li Shuo and asked, "Are you Chinese?"

But Li Shuo's words seemed to have stepped on the other party's little tail, and the Chinese immediately shouted screaming: "What Chinese, I am an American, I am not a Chinese at all, I am a purebred American." ”

"Heh... With a sneer, Li Shuo said disdainfully: "Okay, purebred American, I think you are just self-righteous, look at the eyes of all the Americans around you looking at you."

They just think you're a clown, don't embarrass the Chinese, you think you're an American, but the Americans don't think you're an American, because Americans are gentlemen, even if they think we're Hancheng sticks, they won't shout out directly.

You think you're helping Americans, but Americans don't believe you because you feel ashamed, and when you look back, everyone is despising you, so this tells you, don't kneel and lick, because the more you kneel and lick, the more others will think that you are a lowly race, okay?"

After speaking, Li Shuo patted the purebred American on the shoulder and left with a smile.

The remaining purebred American was stunned on the spot, and to the surprise of the purebred American, sure enough, he felt a trace of disdain in the eyes of the Americans around him, and thought that he was a dirty thing.

But he is obviously helping the Americans scold the people of Hancheng, shouldn't the Americans thank and recognize themselves? Why is this so, this purebred American does not understand.

Maybe he will never understand what kind of face the master will give him as a dog?

Waldorf Astoria New York... When it comes to hotels in New York, we have to mention the famous Aldorf-Astoria Hotel, the first skyscraper hotel in the world and the tallest and largest hotel in the world at the time, built in 1893 by illiam aldorf Astor, spanning the entire block from 49th to 50th streets, with 42 floors and 1,413 suites. He also topped the iconic New York City hotel for many years with his Art Deco design style from the 20s.

The Waldorf Astoria New York is divided into two sections, one below the 28th floor, with room rates ranging from $500 to $1,300 per night, and the 28th to 42nd floors, where the "permanent residence" and presidential suites of many wealthy people are located. The hotel's 1,245 rooms, including 197 suites, are compared to the 180 rooms in the Waldorf Astoria Tower, where the head of state stays, 101 of which are suites, with a walkway connecting the two towers.

In the movie "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman", there is a line like this, "Where are we?" and "The focal point of all civilization - the Waldorf Astoria Hotel", which is enough to see the status of this hotel in American culture. There is probably no hotel in the world that has witnessed as many major historical events and hosted many celebrities from around the world as Waldorf Astoria New York.

Normally, guests can walk into the hotel from the back door of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, but once the head of state visits, the streets around the hotel are all blocked, and you must show ID to enter and exit. When there is only one president among the guests, there is only one presidential suite. If there are too many presidents staying in the hotel, for the sake of fairness, each three-bedroom "Imperial Suite" in the Waldorf Astoria Tower is ready to host the heads of state.

If the average person wants to experience the taste of this hotel, they can pay $399 for a night in a standard room in the Waldorf Astoria Tower, or spend $10,000 a night in a luxury suite in the Waldorf Astoria Tower. From the most modest standard rooms to the luxurious imperial suites, the Waldorf Astoria Hotel can be said to serve both the common people and the dignitaries and billionaires, and will never be neglected because of the status and nobility of the guests.

The reason why Li Shuo lives here with his team is also because of the old reputation here, and he will never despise and snub you because you are Asian or someone who has no money.

After Li Shuo's team entered the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, the Waldorf Astoria Hotel immediately dispatched its most exquisite security personnel to block all the media, which is the most basic action of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, that is, to ensure that every guest will not suffer unnecessary trouble when they arrive at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

..........................

IN LI SHUO'S ROOM, LI SHUO WAS PACKING HIS LUGGAGE AT THIS TIME, WHILE JIANG GARY AND OTHERS WERE STILL BUSY RETOUCHING THE THREE SONGS, BEFORE LI SHUO CAME HERE, THE WALDORF ASTORIA HOTEL HAD SPECIALLY PREPARED A RECORDING STUDIO, ALTHOUGH IT WAS TEMPORARILY BUILT, BUT IT WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL, WHICH WAS ALSO THE MOST SINCERE SERVICE OF THE WALDORF ASTORIA HOTEL.

Just after Li Shuo packed up his clothes, suddenly, Kim Namjoon appeared in front of Li Shuo's room timidly, Kim Namjoon was born in December 94, although the official age is 17 years old, in fact, his real age is about 15 pairs, so for Kim Namjun, Li Shuo is also concerned about him as a little brother.

When Lee Seok saw Kim Nam-joon appear in front of his door, he knew that this guy had something to look for him.

"Kim Nam-joon, don't stand outside the door, if there's something to do, just come in and say. ”

Being shouted by Li Shuo like this, Jin Namjun walked into Li Shuo's room with some trepidation, looked at Li Shuo, and Jin Namjun didn't say a word for a while.

This made Li Shuo smile bitterly: "You have been standing in front of my room just now, are you looking for me to have something, if there is something, just say it." ”

"Hmm... Well.... Kim Namjoon muttered a little, this is because Kim Namjoon is a little afraid of Li Shuo, you know, the so-called shadow of the famous tree, Li Shuo is the No. 1 music producer in Hancheng, even if he is very peaceful, those who follow Li Shuo will be afraid of Li Shuo.

"If you don't say anything more, go out, I still have to rest. Li Shuo directly issued an eviction order, he was going to force Jin Namjun to Liangshan.

Sure enough, after Li Shuo finished speaking, Kim Nam-joon said a little anxiously: "That teacher, I have something, but..." ”

At this time, Li Shuo laughed: "But what, you say, if you don't say it, how will we know." ”

"Hmm... Actually, teacher, we want to have some time today, so we want to go out and see New York, and I'm here for the first time, so I'd love to see the United States. ”

Looking at Kim Nam-joon, who was a little worried, Li Shuo laughed: "The request you said is very reasonable, after all, it is the first time to come to New York, it is good to go and see how to relieve your emotions, I approved it." ”

"Really... Teacher, you're really good, that... Brother Zhilong and TOP are also going. Kim Namjoon shouted happily.

At this time, Li Shuo realized that Kim Nam-joon said that he was going to see New York, and it would not be the request of Kwon Zhilong and TOP.

New York... Located in the northeast of the Atlantic coast of the United States, it is the largest city and largest port in the United States, and the world's largest economic center, known as the capital of the world, located in the southeast of New York State. For more than a century, New York City has been the world's foremost commercial and financial center. New York City is a global metropolis that has a direct impact on the global media, politics, education, entertainment, and fashion industries. New York City is also home to many world-class museums, galleries and venues for performing arts competitions, making it one of the cultural and entertainment centers in the Western Hemisphere. "If you love him, take him to New York, because that's heaven, and if you hate him, take him to New York, because that's hell."

When you come to New York, you will find that the city is so bright that it will dazzle you, and the skyscrapers that you have seen many times in the background of movies, television and news will suddenly come to you. Wall Street, the world's financial center, every move here tugs at the nerves of the world. But it is only a narrow street, no more than 500 meters long, and due to the tall buildings on both sides, the street does not see sunlight all year round. The Empire State Building, a majestic landmark, is famous for more than 90 films. It used its romantic atmosphere to promote the cooperation of Sam and Annie, the protagonists of "Sleepless in Seattle", which attracted countless people who are looking for persistent love. There are many, many more names waiting to be discovered.

It's just that Li Shuo wouldn't have thought that just after he was dragged out of the hotel by Quan Zhilong and others, a conspiracy against Li Shuo also began!
