EpicRecordsEpicRecords, a subsidiary of Sony Records, was previously linked by NRG through Japan's Being during Princess's U.S. event.

“Baby,baby,baby,oh~~~~~~~~Likebaby,baby,baby,no~~~~~~~~~~~Likebaby,baby,baby,oh~~~~~~~~~~”

Richard. Watson was driving the car, holding the steering wheel with his hand still beating, looking very enjoyable, but Lee Jun-hee, who was sitting in the back, looked a little uncomfortable.

In fact, Lee Jun-hee rarely listens to the songs he sings, especially this one, which was created at the time, completely to match the situation of the show and find a topic, it can be said that it is not a sincere work at all, and I didn't expect it to be so popular when I uploaded it to Youtube.

Looking at it now, at least in terms of popularity, the previously created "Mockingbird", which is full of sincerity, is far behind.

It's really "intentional illustrations can't be drawn, and unintentional insertions are willows and willows", Li Junxi can only sigh now, the world is unpredictable.

"Lee! Disclaimer, I'm not complimenting you, this song is really good! "Richard. Watson said excitedly, "You probably don't know how popular this song is right now, God!" Those young girls are going crazy for you! ”

Li Junxi listened, he didn't know how to answer, he has never been a person who likes to brag about himself, not to mention, now this song, he didn't even have a name, just because of the constantly repeated "baby" in the song, the song was temporarily named "baby" by fans. He didn't even know why he was popular.

Richard. Watson was a very talkative person, and along the way, he didn't listen, and Lee Jun-hee just responded on the sidelines, and the car drove all the way to the downstairs of EpicRecords.

Although it is only a subsidiary of Sony Records, the company's office building looks very imposing, and on the outer wall of the staircase, large promotional posters of the company's singers are hung, among which Lee Jun-hee is most familiar with Canadian rock diva Avril. Lavini.

Speaking of which. Lee Jun-hee and Avril still have a relationship, "Girlfriend", which made Princess popular in the United States before, was originally created by Lee Jun-hee for Avril, but unfortunately, Avril's agency at the time didn't look down on it at all, just as Princess was about to launch a new work in the United States, Lee Jun-hee adapted that song and became Princess's official debut song in the United States.

It was precisely because of this song that Avril and the original agency broke out into a great conflict. Eventually, Avril terminated her contract with her original agency and joined Sony Records, becoming an artist at its subsidiary, EpicRecords.

Before coming to the United States, Lee Jun-hee had thought about it. If you have the opportunity, you may be able to meet Avril, and Lee Jun-hee admires this unconventional punk girl very much.

Negotiations were the first to start. The negotiations went very easily and were finalized, with EpicRecordsEpicRecords in charge of Lee Jun-hee's promotion during the U.S. event. Event arrangement, album release and other matters, the cost is shared by NRG and EpicRecordsEpicRecords, and in terms of profit distribution, EpicRecordsEpicRecords has also made a lot of concessions, the two companies are divided 5:5, and Lee Jun-hee's singer share is paid by EpicRecordsEpicRecords.

It can be said that as a result, NRG took a big advantage, and the reason why EpicRecords continued to make concessions was also because he was optimistic about Lee Jun-hee's prospects in the U.S. market.

The song "Baby" has become popular all over the United States, and the hits on Youtube are now approaching 500 million.

After the signing of the relevant agreement, Lee Jun-hee was appointed by Richard. Watson welcomed him with a familiar company, and he will act as Lee's exclusive agent while he is in the United States.

"How does it feel?" In the recording studio, Richard. Watson pointed to the recording equipment and said to Li Junxi, "The whole set of equipment is made from Germany, although I don't like those Germans and I don't like their music, but I have to admit that this equipment is top-notch!" ”

As a professional musician, Lee Jun-hee can't help but see the joy of hunting when he sees these equipment, NRG's recording equipment is imported from Japan, in comparison, this set of German equipment is definitely several streets away from those Japanese goods.

Sitting in front of the recording equipment, Li Junxi simply debugged it, and it was really good, so that he couldn't wait now.

"Mr. Watson!"

"Please call me Richard, hey! Plum! Do you have an English name? If anything, we can be closer to each other, and we are partners now! ”

English name?

Lee Jun-hee thought about it and said casually, "How is JK?" ”

Richard. Watson was stunned for a moment and said, "You're Jason. Kidd's fans! ”

"No!" Lee Jun-hee denied, "Actually, I'm an admirer of J.K. Rowling!" ”

Bae so-kyung, who was following along, said: "Joon-hee OPPA is also a best-selling novel writer, do you know the five-part "Murder in the Locked Room" series? ”

Although Pei Xiujing's English is not as authentic as Li Junxi's, Richard. Watson still understood, and looked at Li Junxi's eyes full of disbelief: "You wrote "Murder in the Closed Room"? My God! All right! All right! God is so unfair, if someone told me before I knew you that there was a genius in this world, I would definitely tell him to fuck off and stop talking bullshit, but now, I believe it. It's unbelievable, how can a person have so much energy and be successful in different fields at the same time, do you know how popular your novel is in the United States, it turns out that you are that LEE, okay! JK！ ”

Lee Jun-hee smiled, how the novels he wrote were selling at the beginning, he naturally knew that they were originally only sold in South Korea. It was later translated into Japanese and later released in the United States through a Japanese publishing house.

A large part of Lee Jun-hee's annual income now comes from royalties from novels.

"Richard! What's next for us, and if I can, I'd like to start recording as soon as possible! ”

As for the performance of the song "Baby" in the United States if it is released as a physical record, Lee Jun-hee is now very much looking forward to it.

Richard. Watson laughed and said, "JK, I found out you're a workaholic, though. Don't worry, what you need now is to get some rest, relax and adjust to your best. I'm sure your fans are looking forward to hearing your perfect vocals, and for now, I'm sure you'll be very interested in what comes next! ”

Li Junxi was stunned. Turning his head to look at Richard. Watson: "What? ”

Richard. Watson smiled and said, "Actually, it was a person who asked me to see you very much!" ”

Woman?

Because Richard. Watson used the word "Her".

Lee Jun-hee doesn't know anyone in the United States. What's more, it's still a woman, which makes Lee Jun-hee can't help but be curious.

"Who is it?"

Richard. Watson bought a pass: "You'll find out soon." ”

Seeing this, Li Junxi didn't ask again, although he was curious, he was not very looking forward to it, and the only thing he was looking forward to now was to start his work in the United States as soon as possible.

Richard. When Watson saw it, he couldn't help but feel bored, and wondered in his heart, such a man was really the one who sang "Baby, baby, baby, oh~~~~~~~~" in his mouth, became popular in the United States, and became the dream lover of countless American girls.

All right! If it's fake!

Lee Jun-hee only stayed in the company for a while before he was arrested by Richard. Watson left with him, then got in the car and went all the way to a stylish-looking bar.

After asking for a glass of wine, Lee Jun-hee sat for a while, and then he felt tired, there was no way, the Republic of Korea and the United States of America belong to different time zones, and there is a wonderful theory called jet lag in this world, to put it bluntly, Lee Jun-hee is sleepy.

"Richard! I want to go back to the hotel if I can, I'm tired! ”

Li Junxi said, and glanced at Pei Xiujing on the side, the little girl was already crumbling from sleepiness at this moment.

Richard. Watson said, "Don't worry, I mean ~~~~~~~~~ starts!" ”

Li Junxi was surprised, and was about to ask, when suddenly a guitar sounded, not intense, it sounded very soft, with a bit of blues, and turned his head to look at the small stage of the bar, Li Junxi was stunned for a moment.

It was a woman playing and singing to herself, with straight black hair, dark circles, and green on her upper body, which was particularly eye-catching, Li Junxi looked at it with a surprised gaze, and in one second, he changed from lying on his stomach to sitting up straight, two seconds, he squinted, three seconds, four seconds, he was so dumbfounded that he couldn't speak.

Avril Lavigne. Ramona. Lavinie!

A punk princess from Canada, a little diva of rock and roll!

It's her!

Li Junxi couldn't believe his eyes, he had only seen them on TV before, but he didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet a real person, and he was already surprised to see Avril, listening to Avril's song, Li Junxi suddenly felt a collision of hearts, and the nerves were stirred.

It's really her!

Avril Lavigne, although in terms of age, Lee Jun-hee is three years older than the other party, but Lee Jun-hee is really a fan of Avril, as if it were fake!

From the time he was in the barracks, Lee Jun-hee fell in love with this maverick girl, and for a while, not only did he like it, but he was even a little obsessed.

Avril's experience made Lee Jun-hee admire, because her bold behavior in order to pursue her dreams is ~~~~~~~ so cool!

It's hard to imagine that an ordinary girl from Canada, when she was 17 years old, resolutely came to New York, USA, alone to find and realize her music dream.

With a guitar on her back, her long pale yellow hair tied up casually, and her hands in her trouser pockets, she was such a simple girl, no one would have thought of it. Two years later, her voice will sing all over the world, people all over the world will go crazy for her, and through her unremitting efforts, everyone will know that resounding name Avril Avril one by one. Lavini.

The first song Lee Jun-hee heard of Avril was "sk8erboi", and the passionate and powerful voice and strong rhythm of the song quickly ignited his heart, as if there had never been a music that could drive him crazy like this.

Avril's voice was crisp and wide, and it was like a magnet that caught Lee Jun-hee's ears tightly. He listened to her songs one by one, and continued to fall into the spiritual world she created with singers.

Since then, Avril's voice has never left Li Junxi's life, and in his free time, Li Junxi will open the mp4 he carries with him and listen to her voice over and over again, and in her thorough voice, it seems that people will understand some truth.

One should not be swayed by others, someone who does not know Avril. will understand her character from her name, thinking that she is a quiet girl, but in fact, it is not, so to speak. Avril is a woman who leads pop culture, an explosive soul, and a wild and uninhibited girl.

When others say she is bad, she will say out loud, "Why should I care what others think of me? I don't care what people say. I just have to be myself!"

I just have to be myself!

Whenever Lee Jun Hee feels that his thoughts are being swayed by others, he will think of this sentence from Avril!

I just be myself!

Yes, life will have many twists and turns. At all times, be sure to stick to yourself and believe in yourself!

Avril's experience taught everyone that if it's gold, then it always shines.

Avril was born in a small town in Canada, but with her solid musical foundation and self-confidence and determination, she traveled to New York and Los Angeles alone to hone her creative skills.

In 2002, she released her first album: Spread Your Wings, and in the same year, she won the title of "Best New Artist" and the title of "Canadian Artist with the highest record sales in the world" at the World Music Awards!

Immediately afterwards, albums such as "Cool to the Bone" and "Beautiful Bad Things" also came out one after another, and received eight nominations for the Grammy Awards.

This is the most desirable award for every musician.

At this time, Avril is no longer an ordinary small town girl, but a high-profile world superstar, she uses her actions to make people all over the world understand a truth at the same time: no matter where you were born and what your family background is, as long as you have talent, as long as you have confidence, as long as you work hard, then you will one day stand out and become the focus of people.

Isn't that what Avril is all about?

Richard. Seeing Li Junxi's stunned distraction, Watson smiled and said, "How is it?" Isn't it a surprise! ”

Lee Jun-hee didn't wait to speak, Avril had already finished singing a song, there was a burst of applause and screams in the bar, obviously, the rock diva Avril Lavigne could be seen here, and the guests were also very surprised, but although they saw the idol, no one stepped forward to ask for autographs, Americans are very focused on private space, which Korean fans really need to learn well.

"Hello! Plum! ”

Avril said hello, sat directly opposite Li Junxi, picked up Li Junxi's wine glass, tilted her head, and poured all the beer in the cup into her stomach, looking very casual.

Both men looked at each other, and then suddenly laughed.

"Nice to meet you!"

Avril raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Me too, I wanted to meet the author of 'Girlfriend' a long time ago!" ”

Lee Jun-hee was just about to be modest, but who knew that Avril Lavigne immediately followed up with another sentence: "However, I don't like your song "Baby" at all, that song sounds like a playboy, it makes me feel like a playboy." ”

When Li Junxi heard this, he couldn't help but be embarrassed, if he thought about it carefully, it was really like that, in fact, he didn't like that song very much, it sounded like a cream boy teasing a little girl.

Avril ordered another beer, and after a few glasses of wine, her words became more and more: "I can't believe that the producers of my original company would treat your song as garbage, honestly, I love that song "Girlfriend", I feel like if I sing that song, it must be much better than your girls, that song is made for me!" ”

Li Junxi smiled and thought: That's right! That song was written for you!

It's just a pity that the pearl is secretly cast!

The song is a good song, but it's a pity that I didn't meet someone who knows the goods!

Avril drank a few glasses of wine, said a lot to Lee Jun-hee, looked at the time, probably something else, got up and said, "It's nice to meet you, I hope we have the opportunity to work together in the future, your song excites me, except for ~~~~~"

Lee Jun-hee smiled and said, "Except for that song "Baby"! ”

Avril snapped her fingers, "That's right! That song is so unappetizing, I really can't understand why you wrote such a song! Okay, that's it, I still have something to do, and next time I have a chance, I'll invite you to drink! ”

After Avril finished speaking, she waved her hand at Li Junxi, turned around and left!

Lee Jun Hee looked at it and couldn't help but wonder about Richard. Watson smiled bitterly: "What a ~~~~~ surprising girl!" (To be continued.) )
