Chapter 11: Im Yours
Before coming to New York, Li Mingcheng prepared more than a dozen songs, but he was not very satisfied, and always felt that it was a little bit uninteresting, until one day he accidentally turned to an album called "WaitingForMyRocketToCome" in Daisy's room, and then he saw the name of the publisher of this album - Jason Mayez.

For people who don't pay attention to European and American music, the name Jason Mayez can be very unfamiliar. However, when it comes to his masterpieces, even if you don't listen to much European and American music, you will definitely hear about it, this song is the stepping stone that Li Mingcheng finally decided to use to knock on the door of the RCA test, Jason Mayez's most popular song - "I'mYours".
The song was released in 2008, but Li Mingcheng, who is familiar with the European and American music circles, knew that Jason, who was inspired to write the song, actually had it in the summer of 2005. So when Li Mingcheng decided to use this song, he immediately wrote it out, and then rushed to the Copyright Office to register. Thankfully, Jason hadn't found the inspiration to write the song at this time.
After a short battle of thoughts, the little devil in Li Mingcheng's head defeated the little angel, and from then on, the copyright owner of "I'mYours" became the name Leonardo.
"I'mYours" helped Jason get a nomination for the 51st Grammy, and Lee believes it can also bring him an RCA record deal.
After casually playing a few chord breakdowns to make sure that the guitar was not out of tune, Li Mingcheng gently tapped the piano board with the middle finger of his right hand, like a drummer in a rock band hitting the drumstick, announcing the official beginning of the first meeting between the song "I'mYours" and the world in this life.
With his left hand, he skillfully pressed the chords, and with his right hand, he gently swept the six strings of the guitar that a certain girl gave him.
At the beginning of the song, the simple strumming and syncopation are intertwined and harmonized, the rhythm is brisk, the melody is pleasant, and the ears feel relaxed and happy.
Bob unconsciously lowered Erlang's legs and sat up straight.
Although it was only a simple prelude, it was enough for Bob to make a preliminary judgment about the song. As a veteran music producer with more than 10 years of experience in the industry, many times it is not necessary to listen to the whole song, perhaps just a short melody like this, Bob can tell how good or bad a song is and how much it has the potential to reflect in the market in the future.
Right now, the fourteen-year-old is showing the piece, judged by Bob's standards, and not surprisingly of the highest quality.

The light melody enters the heart from the ear to the heart. There are no complicated skills, no complicated show-offs, only the simplest, and the most emotionally sincere. It's a simple love song, and at the same time it's the most standard love song. It seems to be a unique first love, young, ignorant, and ignorant, but at the same time it is the purest, deepest, and most beautiful feeling.

Entering the second verse, Bob's eyes widened, his eyes lit up, and even a flush of excitement appeared on his face. At this moment, he had already let go of the contempt for him because of the boy's age, and devoted himself to the original song sung by the boy.

Bob's body trembled slightly. I found a treasure this time! The boy was right, he was a genius! With his creative ability, as long as he is given a chance, the result of the fire is not unexpected. As for his age, is that a problem? There are more child stars in the United States!
Looking at Li Mingcheng, Bob seemed to see bundles of green bills waving at him.

……”
The last note falls, and the song ends.
Bob excitedly stood up from his seat and clapped vigorously: "Perfect! It's a perfect piece of music, and you don't even need to make any changes, just release the record! ”
"Leo, you're right, you're a genius! Musical genius! ”
"Thank you. I'm so glad you liked it! Li Mingcheng smiled shyly.
"Like? No, I just love it! Bob patted Li Mingcheng on the shoulder vigorously, "Oh, damn it! I should have just recorded it! ”
Bob slapped his head in annoyance, then looked at Li Mingcheng with a wistful expression: "Leo, can you sing it again?" You know, as much as I personally want to sign you, I'm just a producer, so I'm going to have to ask someone about it......"
"But don't worry, this won't be a problem at your level, trust me, you'll get a record deal from RCA soon!"
For this reasonable request, Li Mingcheng of course gladly agreed.
Picking up the guitar again, and waiting for Bob to turn on the recording table and camera next to him, Li Mingcheng began to sing the song "I'mYours" again into front of the camera lens.
…………
Standing in the elevator hall leading to the hall on the first floor, Li Mingcheng quietly clenched his fists.
"Leo, wait to be famous, you will make the whole of America crazy for you!" Before leaving the studio, Bob tapped him on the shoulder and said this.
Fame? Finally...... Have you come this far?
Li Mingcheng's heart was turbulent, and he suddenly wanted to be like another guy named Leo, raising his arms and shouting that classic line: I'm_the_king_of_the_world!
"Ding-" As the prompt sounded, the elevator doors slashed to both sides.
Li Mingcheng walked out of the elevator room and saw his cousin waiting anxiously in front of the front desk at a glance.
"Leo, how's it going?" Daisy greeted her.
"Guess?" Li Mingcheng laughed.
"I guessed ...... asked"
Daisy was interrupted in the middle of her sentence, and she suddenly fell into a warm hug, and the hands around her shoulders and waist were so hard that she felt a little pain.
She felt the cousin's body holding her tremble slightly, and she was about to ask him what was wrong, when her cousin's hoarse voice sounded in her ears, and the hot breath he exhaled hit the hairs on her neck as he spoke, and it felt itchy.
The next second, Daisy's face bloomed like a flower, because she heard what her cousin was saying in her ear.
He said, "Daisy, you're going to have a star brother soon!" ”
