Chapter Twenty-Seven: Getting Both People and Money, That's It!
It's the first time Mariah Kelly has seen a genius with her own eyes, and she thought she was already very good, but she really couldn't compare with the little boy in front of her. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
She began her professional training at the age of 4 in music, including opera, folk, soul and rhythm and blues, as well as church music, and began to compose music at the age of 13. But at that time, he couldn't create a mature song like Li Shenghao, just a simple attempt at music creation.
At the age of 13, he not only wrote songs, but also was admitted to Harvard Business School, where he studied film, television and music.
Li Shenghao really didn't audit and study in the music major some time ago, although some basic knowledge has not been thoroughly understood, but his memory is very good, at least he can read from the book a little, so the conversation with Kelly about music can also go on smoothly.
Li Shenghao admires Kelly's diva very much, whether it is the results of his debut or the persistence in the trough period and then the momentum of soaring. With a beautiful voice and noble character, she is one of the most imitated singing voices of singing contest participants, a common idol in the hearts of female singers, and a dream partner for many artists.
She is a wonderful singer, a perfect songwriter, with a wide vocal range, she can always sing good melodies, fall from the highs and lows of life but get back up like she never missed a beat.
Kelly agrees with Lee Sung-ho's basic knowledge of music, and without a good foundation, you can't make good music. Although he is still very young, his conversation reveals a maturity that is different from that of ordinary adults, contradictory and harmonious.
Lisi sat next to her and quietly watched the two chatting hotly, Kelly needless to say, not only is her appearance outstanding, but her singing voice is really shocking, and she also likes her songs, her baby son is like an adult, although he has a slightly immature voice, but he expresses mature opinions and insights, no wonder the whole family spoils him very much.
Because he knows what he needs to do, he will not do naughty things that make people angry since he is sensible, and he can be the nanny of his two younger brothers and the Zheng family sisters. A father and three mothers don't experience the troubles and joys of taking care of children in him, because he basically won't trouble you, is obedient and sensible, and can take care of your emotions.
Liz still remembers very clearly that whenever he comes home in the evening, he can laugh with you when you are happy and share your happiness; When you are in a bad mood or stressed at work or have something to worry about, he will quietly not make noise, and pretend to be childish and hand you a glass of water or his snacks, and then look at you with a smile to reduce your pressure.
As a son, I knew the hard work of their parents early on, and always made you feel relaxed and comfortable when you came home. Several people are the most anxious when they get off work every day, because they miss the little baby at home very much, and they can completely feel the warmth of the family when they stay with their son.
The two hours passed quickly, and Lis, seeing that the two of them were still unsatisfied, offered to have lunch together and talk again in the afternoon. Li Shenghao and Kelly noticed that it was noon, and Kelly took Li Shenghao and Lisi to enjoy a big meal outside, and then couldn't wait to return to the office.
We started talking about the song itself and the copyright. Li Shenghao handed over the right to talk to Lisi's mother, who was not yet proficient in dealing with it, although the knowledge in his stomach was enough, but it had not yet been put into practice, and Lisi's mother had consulted professionals in detail before coming, so Li Shenghao gave Lisi's mother full authority, and Kelly also handed it over to the agent to deal with this matter.
When Lis's mother finally asked how much Li Shenghao planned to sell these two songs to Kelly, Li Shenghao stretched out a finger.
The agent then whispered to Kelly's opinion, Kelly thought for about 1 minute, and finally nodded, "Okay, little Maudie, I agree with this price, just 1 million!" ”
Li Shenghao smiled and shook his head, "Lady Maria, you misunderstood!" I don't want $1 million, although I think these two songs are worth the price, but this finger I stretch out doesn't represent this number, it only represents its own meaning, I want to say $1! ”
Kelly's eyes widened, and even the agent next to her looked at Li Shenghao with a look of disbelief, "Modi, you won't be joking, right?" How can it be? Isn't that the equivalent of giving me a song like this for nothing? I'm not sure if it's going to be a classic, but at least it's a song that has a good chance of making it to the Billboard Top 50! ”
Lis, who was next to her, sat on the sofa and looked at him with a smile as if she knew that her son would offer such a price.
Li Shenghao confidently clenched his fists and looked at Kelly and said: "Ms. Maria, please believe me, I will definitely write more songs like this or even better than this song in the future, the reason why I put the demo to you is just that I think it is more appropriate for you to sing this song, besides, you have always been my idol, I just want to get to know you through these two songs, and can guide me at your convenience." ”
"I don't want to use it to make money, you can see that I'm not a kid who is short of money, my parents have normal jobs, music is my hobby and hobby, and money has never been my first need. What I want most now is to be able to get the guidance of a diva-level singer like you, what I need now is to understand and learn! ”
Kelly quietly listened to Li Shenghao's words, and kept thinking about it in her heart, and nodded from time to time. Looking at the handsome little boy in front of her, she believed in her own vision, judging from today's conversation, she could be sure that this child's ambition was not small, and she really admired this child.
Smart and clever, he has a mature temperament when he speaks and acts, knows how to be polite, is cautious in words and deeds, and his musical talent is also very good, maybe he may surpass his achievements in the future and become a generation of superstars! She is optimistic about Li Shenghao's potential!
After whispering a few words with the agent, Kelly stood up with a smile and said to Li Shenghao: "Little Modi, for a highly talented student like you, I am willing to be your teacher from the bottom of my heart." Well, I'm just about to start preparing my new album, and thanks to your two songs, the title track is also solved, and I want to start recording it as soon as possible. You stay with me as long as you have time, and I will do my duty as a teacher, even though I have never taught students seriously. ”
Hearing that Kelly really agreed to her request and accepted herself as her student, Li Shenghao felt very happy, originally thought that it was just a polite remark, and she would benefit a lot from Kelly's little guidance, but she didn't expect that she would really accept herself as a student.
Lisi was also very happy, but she didn't expect the queen Kelly to put on any shelf, and she originally wanted to tell her son that the queen's potential is not so easy to borrow, but she didn't expect this child to be really lucky.
Li Shenghao stood up, took two small steps back, and then bowed respectfully to Kelly, and said with great sincerity: "Thank you, Ms. Maria, I will study hard by your side!" Kelly nodded, approached Li Shenghao, took his hand and said, "Little Modi, from now on, your title will also be changed, you can't call Ms. Maria anymore, according to your **** rules, you have to change your name to teacher, right?" Li Shenghao understood, "Yes, teacher, I remember!" ”
Seeing that the two were much closer than just now, Liz felt that today's meeting was very successful. Being able to meet Mariah Carey because of two songs and become a student that she personally admits is not something that money can do, let alone $1 million, or even $5 million, after all, people are not short of money.
Although the relationship between teachers and students is not as rigorous as ****, Kelly also has to take responsibility, saying that she is her own student, if she has good grades in the future, it is good to say, once Li Shenghao has any negative news or news, then she will also be implicated as a teacher, especially celebrities and diva-level figures.
It seems that the follow-up plan of the baby son can be better carried out this time, although he lost 1 million, but is Li Shenghao still short of money now? This precious son made too much money just by investing in the 2002 World Cup that no one could earn in a lifetime. To be able to become a student of Mariah Carey, for him, the starting point is not at the same level as others, coupled with his talent and hard work, the future is limitless!
originally planned to go back to San Francisco after the mother and son talked about things, but they didn't expect to smash an easter egg, not only successfully met the queen of the music world Maria Carey because of these two songs, but also officially became her student.
In the next few weeks, Li Shenghao will follow Teacher Kelly, have a good understanding, learn about the recording of the album, and more importantly, finally find a music teacher, which is different from the kind of professor in the university, Kelly can teach him by word and deed, and tell him some internal things in the American music industry, which is not something that can be learned in school, Li Shenghao can finally systematically sort out and learn this knowledge, no longer crossing the river by feeling the stones as before, Kelly is now his guiding light, Guide him to avoid detours.
After agreeing that Li Shenghao would come to New York to study with Kelly in the recording studio every weekend, Lis's mother specially booked a restaurant and celebrated with Kelly's agent in the evening. At the dinner table, Kelly finally told Lee that he was still paying him for the two songs he had included at the original price of $1 million, but that this was not the money she paid for the songs, but as a gift from the teacher to the students.
Li Shenghao said that he didn't want to accept anything, but in the end, Kelly took out the identity of the teacher, which also made Li Shenghao unable to insist anymore, so he had to agree. Li Shenghao finally knew that the big names in the American music industry are really not bad for money!
