Chapter 32. Trip to the United States(2)

Pete laughed and patted Lee Jung-hyun on the shoulder and said, "Prince, if you don't mind, just call me Pete!" This is like a friend, if you open your mouth and close your mouth is Mr. Eunice, it seems very strange, so if you are willing to make me a friend, just call me Pete, how about it?

After Sean left, Li Zhengxian saw that Pete was also a bold character, and there was no expected embarrassment or overwhelm, so he didn't pretend to be, and stretched out his hand to Pete and said, "Pete, I'm glad to be your friend." ”

Pete shook hands with Lee Jung-hyun very happily and said with a smile: "That's it!" How comfortable it is, haha

After Pete finished laughing, he seemed to remember something, and hurriedly asked, "By the way, prince, listen to Sean, you want to release a CD?" What type? Songs?

Lee Jung-hyun smiled, shook his head and said, "No, it's a single, piano piece."

Pete was stunned when he heard this, and asked puzzledly, "Prince, I don't understand what you mean, you mean that you want to release a piano single CD, right?"

Lee Jung-hyun still smiled calmly, nodded and said, "Yes Pete, you heard it right, it's a piano single CD."

Pete frowned, looked at Lee Jung-hyun suspiciously, and continued to ask, "Is it an adapted tune like Charlie Cleiman?" ”

Lee Jung-hyun seemed to sense Pete's doubts, and smiled apologetically: "Pete, I'm sorry, I didn't explain it clearly, it's not like this, this single is my original piano song, and my teacher and I feel very good, so I want to use your global platform to promote it like the world, so, I'm sorry for you." ”

Pete finally understood, but he was really not optimistic about Lee Jung-hyun's piano music, and it was still a single, mainly because he Lee Jung-hyun was so young, what could he experience? Who doesn't know that music is all about feelings or emotions that come from the heart? What kind of music can he make that others can accept?

If it's Beethoven or Mozart, it's okay to say, after all, their classic repertoire is world-renowned, but Pitt just recognized this friend, if he really doesn't help, or can't listen to it, how to say the past? So he said, "Prince, how about we listen and see before we make a decision?"

Lee Jung-hyun also understands Pete's difficulties, who would easily agree to something that he is not sure of? If the effect is not good, it will directly affect his own job, especially in the United States, a country where the right to freedom in life is particularly deep, so he nodded and agreed: "Yes, let's go to the recording studio and try it out." ”

Pete nodded at Li Zhengxian very appreciatively, Pete really likes Li Zhengxian's personality, calm, calm, magnanimous, and very considerate of others, and his personality that is completely inconsistent with his age is very likable.

Pete smiled and patted Li Zhengxian on the shoulder and said: "Prince, I believe that your music has its own merits, otherwise with your character, you would not have come all the way to the United States to promote your works to the world, let's go to the recording studio, it just so happens that Professor Smith is also here today, I will call over to enjoy it together."

Lee Jung-hyun nodded happily and said, "Thank you Pete, I'm honored to have Professor Smith guide me for my work, he is my idol." ”

Speaking of Smith, I have to mention his achievements, born in 1939, he learned piano at the age of two, passed the piano grade 12 at the age of five, reached the sixteenth grade at the age of nine, and was admitted to the top piano at the age of twelve, grade 20.

Doctoral supervisor of the Curtis Institute of Music, a world-class conservatory, a doctoral supervisor of the Los Angeles Conservatory of Music, a member of the United States Congress, the president of the American Music Association, and the honorary chairman of the Oscar Music Concert.

In his previous life, he was Lee Jung-hyun's mentor and idol, and when he heard Pete say that Smith was also there, Lee Jung-hyun pretended to be nothing on the surface, but in fact, he was very excited in his heart.

Following Pete, he left Pete's office, turned a corner, and came to a closed doorway, on which hung an English sign with the words "Recording is important, idlers are not allowed to enter". Lee Jung-hyun understands that this is the time to go.

I saw Pete push the door in, and Lee Jung-hyun had no choice but to follow.

Entering the recording studio, Lee Jung-hyun felt that it was very big, very luxurious, very magnificent, worthy of being the world's second largest record company, Pete and Lee Jung-hyun walked in, but no one turned their heads or looked at them curiously, everyone was seriously busy with their own work, this may be the temperament of a big company, right?

Li Zhengxian looked like Grandma Liu was walking around the manor, looking curiously east and west, although she didn't move, she couldn't stand her curiosity and glanced around.

Pete didn't disturb Lee Jung-hyun's curiosity, and stood aside and waited quietly for Lee Jung-hyun.

After Li Zhengxian glanced at Pete, he saw Pete looking at him, and smiled at Pete apologetically, but Pete just shook his head, saying that he was okay.

Finally, after the green light was turned on in the recording studio, there was warm applause in the recording studio to celebrate the completion of another work, although Lee Jung-hyun didn't know what work was recorded and who was recording, but he could only applaud with everyone.

The door of the recording studio was opened, and two people came out, two people who knew all Li Zhengxian, and the excited Li Zhengxian's body was stiff at this time, one was his own music mentor and idol in his previous life, Bush. Smith, a world-class singer Louise, is a great man!

Pete didn't notice Lee Jung-hyun's awkwardness, and when he saw Louis and Smith walking out, he walked over with a smile, "Congratulations to the two of you for completing your new work, you have worked the recording!" As he spoke, he went up and shook hands one by one.

Pete didn't have too many polite words at this time, just simply congratulated him, because they were too familiar with each other, and they were so familiar that they didn't need to speak too flatteringly!

After Pete finished talking to Louise and Smith, he turned around and clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, be quiet, I have one more thing to ask you to help me, Kate, you go over and play this CD, turn on all the speakers, so that everyone can hear clearly, Pete said to a young boy."

The boy named Kate didn't hesitate to take the CD and walked over, everyone was puzzled, you look at me, I look at you, I don't understand what happened to my director today? What to listen to yourself?

Louise and Smith already knew why, and just now Pete had invited them to stop for a moment to help point out a friend's piano piece, and both were also music lovers who were willing to listen to it and witness the birth of a new song.

In the audition room, the boy named Kate made an OK gesture to indicate that he was ready, and everyone sat down very consciously and quietly, ready to listen to what the director wanted to play, Pete nodded to the boy named Kate, Kate pushed the playback smash, and suddenly the whole recording studio was quiet and scary.

Ding Ding Ding Ding accompanied by the unique rhythm of the piano, the poetic melody, floating in the entire recording studio in an instant, with the gentle rhythm, everyone closed their eyes, with the melody of the piano, gently tilted their heads, a very enjoyable look.

Who can sit in the studio of Universal Music Company who is not the elite of the music industry? Which one doesn't have a unique love for music? Who isn't obsessed with music?

Li Zhengxian was already nervous at this time, his palms were already full of sweat, but he was still clenching his fists tightly, his heart was beating faster, and his breathing was about to stop, and Li Zhengxian could feel his heart, almost jumping to his throat, watching everyone enjoy listening, he was secretly relieved, but he was still nervously clenching his fists, and he couldn't relax for a moment.

At this time, Pete was no longer enjoying the music, but was excited by his own mood, and he couldn't calm down at all, staring at Li Zhengxian with glowing eyes, this young man who didn't talk to himself was too surprised, young, too young, but very calm, magnanimous, disciplined, not vain, not anxious, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

He is so young, what kind of environment makes him able to compose such an amazing song? Pete couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't figure it out.

As a music director at the world's largest record label, Pete has a unique insight and understanding of music. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that such a shocking song would be composed by a child who was only seventeen years old, Pete looked at Li Zhengxian is no longer a simple person, not just a young man with ideals, but a world music king, a world music master.

Pete was in a state of desperation, and it was difficult to calm down, and Pitt told himself that he must be signed, no matter how difficult it was.

Pete is also secretly glad that he was able to make such an amazing talented young friend, and that he was able to bring him to the recording studio to enjoy his works, otherwise he would regret it for the rest of his life.

When the last note of the piano stopped, the studio was still quiet and scary, as if everyone was still immersed in the boundless world of music.

Lee Jung-hyun is already dumbfounded? I thought anxiously, "What's going on?" Why didn't everyone move? Is it good or bad? Li Zhengxian's anxiety was so anxious that he couldn't escape Pete's eyes, Pete smiled happily and took the lead in applauding, hearing the applause, everyone seemed to come back to their senses, and the applause one after another was extremely intense.

Li Zhengxian finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw everyone's warm applause, he bowed happily and thanked him, "Thank you, thank you, thank you." ”

Seeing Lee Jung-hyun's thanks, everyone finally understood, it turned out that this song belonged to this young man? muttered quietly, "That's amazing!" "So young, huh?" "Really talented"

Hearing everyone's praise, Lee Jung-hyun enjoyed it very much, calmed down his excitement, and Lee Jung-hyun smiled and nodded to everyone.

Pete walked up to Li Zhengxian, bowed very sincerely, and said with sincerity: "Prince, I apologize to you for the attitude of the office just now, I'm sorry."

Li Zhengxian saw Pete bow and apologize to himself, hurriedly helped Pete up, and said, "Pete, I understand your difficulties, but I'm not angry with you, haven't we become good friends?" Are you doing this to show that you are just polite and don't really treat me as a friend? ”

Pete smiled very awkwardly and said, "Okay, prince, I really regard you as a friend, from today onwards, we will be best friends", and stepped forward to hug Li Zhengxian tightly.

Feeling a sincere hug from Pete, Lee Jung-hyun was also pleased to hug Pete and gently patted each other's backs.

The friendship between men is nothing more than a naked spread out of the topic, and then a tight hug is relieved, after all, if you are too polite, there is a suspicion of hypocrisy, a man is a man, bold, direct, not pretentious, it is enough.
