Chapter 606: Crazy
If someone asks who was the most popular singer in the world pop music industry from 2007 to 2008, people may give a lot of different answers, but if someone asks who detonated the American music market in the first half of 2008, I think many people will blurt out the same name one by one, Lee Jun-hee.
After a song "Baby" became popular all over the Internet, it quickly conquered the American record market, but just when people have not completely digested the song and the popularity of the song itself has not completely subsided, a song named "JK. LEE's album was accompanied by a strong promotional campaign by EpicRecords, Inc. EpicRecords, which landed on record stores across the United States.
If it was said that before people bought Lee Jun-hee's single EP, they still went to the MV heroine Avril, then this time, the huge purchase army of the album was directly targeted at the singer Lee Jun-hee.
Ten songs, almost every single one, can be used directly as a title song, and it's no wonder that the lead producer at EpicRecordsEpicRecords is exclaiming, "JK. LEE'S TALENT IS AT ITS LIMIT, PERHAPS ONLY HE KNOWS! ā
In particular, the title song of the album "Boyfriend" was released, and in just one day, it landed at the top of the American pop music billboard.
The album sold 520,000 copies in its first week, topped the iTunes charts in the U.S., and topped the iTunes charts in 32 countries around the world.
Miracle of the East
This is the headline on the front page of Rolling Stone, the most famous entertainment magazine in the United States, as the most influential and unbiased entertainment magazine in the United States. "Rolling Stone" has always been very sharp in its evaluation of pop music. Jackson has been fiercely attacked, but this time, the report on Lee Jun-hee was praised throughout.
The album's crazy sales, the praise of the media, and the praise of music critics are more and more sought after by fans.
Lee Jun Hee is on fire, this time it's a real fire, before Lee Jun Hee and Jung Nicole went to Los Angeles. No one knows who he is at all, but now, the situation is completely different, and the place where Lee Jun-hee appears will immediately attract countless fans, and when he promotes a performance in the park, it even causes traffic paralysis.
No singer from Asia has ever been able to become so popular in the United States, and even Princess, who has been very successful in the United States before, is only between the first and second tiers. It's still some way from being a real superstar.
And Li Junxi, looking at his current popularity, seems to be only one step away from becoming a god in World War I.
Say he's the wonder of the East. It doesn't seem like an exaggeration.
"Crazy! Lose your marbles! Lose your marbles! "Richard. Watson feels like a god these days, "JK! Look at the media guys, they're all crazy about your music! ā
Lee Jun-hee, who had just finished a performance, smiled angrily: "Richard! I think you're the one who's going crazy! ā
After the release of "Baby", Lee Jun-hee was busy working on his first English-language album. There is no time for promotion, and now that his first album in the American music industry has been released, he naturally can't continue to be lazy. For the sake of album sales, in order to consolidate his position, he could only reluctantly become a trapeze artist under the arrangement of EpicRecords, and went around to promote his album.
Richard. Watson doesn't mind, in his eyes, Lee Jun-hee is a huge gold mine, who would offend their own gold owner?
At least Richard. Watson won't.
"Of course, I'm crazy about you, JK! I can't wait to know what's next for you, you're a genius and always surprises, how about it? What's next? I'm looking forward to it, no! I can't wait any longer! ā
Previously, as Lee Jun-hee's agent during his activities in the United States, Richard . Watson also had the pleasure of participating in the EpicRecords conference for the first time.
According to the idea of the big boss of EpicRecords, the next thing Lee Jun-hee should do is to start a global tour and start making a lot of money, which is the most important thing to do.
Richard. Watson had hinted at Lee Jun Hee before, but, obviously, Lee Jun Hee had his own ideas.
"It's a pity, Richard, there is no surprise, but there is one surprise, if you want to know, just see for yourself!"
Lee Jun Hee said, handing over an envelope. Watson took it with a puzzled look on his face, pulled out a piece of paper from the envelope, and when he read it, his face immediately changed.
āJKļ¼ Are you crazy? "Richard. Watson's eyes were as if he had seen a freak.
Li Junxi smiled: "No! I'm fine, this, exactly what I need right now! ā
Richard. When Watson heard this, he said angrily, "Do you know what you're doing, do you want to throw all this little achievement you have now into the Pacific Ocean?" My God! You're crazy, you're absolutely crazy! No! I don't allow you to do that, absolutely not, you're playing with fire, hear no, you're playing with fire! ā
Lee Jun Hee has been waiting for Richard. After Watson finished speaking, his expression was still calm: "I don't think so, Richard! I'm sorry, it seems, this is really a scare for you, but, Richard, I think I've made it clear before, music is not what I like now, for me, whether it's "Baby" or "Boyfriend", it's not what I like, these songs are tools for me, tools that allow me to get a foothold in the United States, and now that the goal has been achieved, I don't think I need to live with these tools all day. Now, I'm going to make the music I love and do the things I love! Do you understand? ā
Richard. Watson sighed and stopped talking, although the contact time was not long, but he also had some understanding of Li Junxi, knowing that once this oriental man decided something, he would definitely not change it.
āJKļ¼ I still hope you think about it, that place is not for you, or even say. Your current popularity doesn't apply in that place, and the people who go there are crazy, addicts, and violent people, and they don't care how popular you are now. ā
When Li Junxi heard this, he smiled and said, "If you let Avril hear these words, she will definitely kick your thing!" ā
Richard. Watson listened. Subconsciously looked at the door, frowned and said, "JK, I'm not joking with you, that place is for you." It's dangerous. ā
Lee Jun-hee's smile was full of anticipation: "Don't you think that's exciting?" ā
Is it exciting?
At least Lee Jun-hee thinks so!
So, where is Lee Jun-hee going? What the hell is the place that was Richard. Watson said it was so dangerous.
Of course, it won't be a devil's cave, but Atlanta. He's going to a quadrennial rock festival in Atlanta.
That's why Richard. Watson would be so vehemently opposed, in his opinion. Lee Jun-hee, who sings "Baby, Baby", and those rock musicians are completely different worlds, although, according to his investigation data, Lee Jun-hee wrote several rock-style songs when he was in South Korea, but now it is not those noisy rocks that make Lee Jun-hee popular in the United States, but "Baby", "Boyfriend".
It's a pity that once Lee Jun-hee decides something, even if he ends up hitting his head and bleeding, there is no possibility of changing it, and in the next month, in order to participate in this rock music festival, Lee Jun-hee even gave up publicity, invited cooperative bands, wrote songs, and rehearsed, which took up his time.
The other singers who went to perform at the rock festival were all invited, and only Lee Jun-hee applied several times in a row before finally making the trip.
For this opportunity, Lee Jun-hee cherishes it very much.
A month later, Atlanta!
Lee Jun-hee took his team to Atlanta, where the Eagle Rock Music Festival was held, and the seemingly uncoordinated team quickly attracted people's attention.
Today is the first day of the festival, and there are not many fans coming, but many tents have been erected in the open space, and fans are waiting in twos and threes.
At first, people thought that Lee Jun-hee was here to enjoy the music festival, although the Eagle Rock Music Festival is not very famous, but it has a lot of influence in the United States, and it is not uncommon for an Asian face to appear here, but looking at the people who followed behind Lee Jun-hee, as soon as they saw the instruments they were holding, they knew that it was a band.
Is it here to perform!?
People suddenly felt a little ridiculous, when did the world of rock 'n' roll have a place for Asians, isn't it a joke?
But with Richard. Watson contacted the organizers, got on the stage of their performance, and began to tune the instruments and sound equipment, and only then did the people take it off, and the Asian was not here to play, but to perform.
"Hey! Little shoots! This isn't the place for you, get out of here! ā
"Asians don't know what rock 'n' roll is, so get home and get your mom to feed!"
"Yellow-skinned monkey, you're not welcome here!"
People are scolding in the audience very comfortably, and the refreshing adrenal hormones are secreted wildly, almost all of which are high. tide, of course, some people recognize Lee Jun-hee, after all, during this time, Lee Jun-hee's popularity in the United States is not low, he is promoted everywhere, constantly making headlines, and the MV of his song is constantly being played on TV.
But, so what?
It's the world of rock and roll!
"Hey! I know who he is, that little baby who likes to twist his ass! ā
"Damn it! Why is this sissy here, his songs will only turn me off my appetite! ā
"Get down! Go to Broadway and twist your ass! Yellow-skinned monkey! ā
People were making a fuss, and suddenly there was a noisy noise, followed by a voice: "SHUTUP!" You shit! ā
A few guys who had excess adrenal hormone secretion just now were really shocked by this voice, and looked up at Li Junxi, who was leaning on the stage next to the drum kit, with a ruffian smile on his face, it was obvious that he was the one who scolded just now.
Under the stage, which was originally very noisy, it was a little scary to be instantly quiet by Li Junxi's voice, and people looked at each other. I was a little skeptical that it was the Asian on stage who had just shut them up.
After these people reacted, the pot suddenly exploded under the stage, these early arrivals are Atlanta locals, and they have the time to come so early, and even camp here, obviously not social elites, gold-collar white-collar workers or anything.
"Yellow-skinned monkey, you should shut up, you're not a place for you to play, go home and go to your mother for milk!"
"You bastard. Do you know how rock is spelled? ā
"Yellow-skinned monkey, come to eat bananas here!"
A muscular man also made a lewd move towards Li Junxi, Li Junxi on the stage sneered, directly grabbed a guitar from the band and threw it down, hitting the bald head of the muscular man.
Boom!
Richard. Watson had just gone to ask the organizers about the timing of the show, and by the time he returned, the stage was in a mess, watching what was happening in front of him. His jaw dropped.
After Lee Jun-hee made his move, he jumped directly from the stage, without thinking about his combat effectiveness at all, and got into a fight with those who insulted him. Although Li Junxi himself is very capable of fighting, after all, two fists are invincible to four hands, even if Bruce Lee is possessed, he can only be high by the group at this time, and it will not be too big for a while. His shirt was torn to shreds, revealing strong muscles, and the corners of his mouth were broken. His eye sockets were swollen, and a cut was made on his forehead.
The band members on the stage thought that Li Junxi was crazy at first, but looking at it, their group of hot-blooded young people were also excited, although they haven't known Li Junxi for a long time, but now they are on one side, so what are you waiting for, let's practice!
Li Junxi was beaten badly enough, but the audience in the audience was not happy, Li Junxi was absolutely ruthless in this fight, and he was specially arranged according to the fatal place, and after a while, a group of people were already lying down around him.
Richard. Watson only felt that his head was big, and the thing he regretted the most now was to promise Lee Jun-hee to come to this damn rock music festival, and he was expecting that after the performance was safe, Lee Jun-hee would be able to go back to be his high-quality idol with peace of mind, who knew that Lee Jun-hee would come to such a show again.
This hapless kid can't really be a madman!
Soon, the riots here attracted a lot of people, and there was a big circle outside, and watching the excitement was not the preserve of the Chinese, and the curiosity of foreigners was not bad at all, and it was obviously more professional.
"Beat him! Hit him! ā
"Well done, Asian boy! Beat him up! ā
"Hey! John! You're not that inferior, are you? I can't even beat this sissy! ā
The organizers have also rushed over now, and when they see this chaotic scene, they don't even know how to stop it, such fights and brawls are indispensable in music festivals every year, as long as no one dies, the police generally don't care.
The purpose of the festival is not only to let those musicians who are not yet well-known come to show themselves, but also a place for young people to vent, otherwise so many enthusiastic young people, one by one, will still cause big trouble in society.
Richard. Watson saw the organizers coming, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Sir! Stop them! If this continues, there will be a big mess! ā
Who knew that the staff of the organizer not only ignored it, but admired it with great interest: "Don't worry, I can't see anything, those people come over every year, and they will find fault and fight, they are very measured, but the people participating in the performance and the audience fight, this is the first time I have seen it, this is big news!" ā
Richard. Watson felt like his head was a little out of his head, did these rock 'n' roll people think in outer space?
Why is it so weird!?
They don't care, Richard. Watson can't sit idly by, Lee Jun-hee is his financier, and if it is broken, it will be all over.
Thinking, Richard. Watson rushed over and arrived at Li Junxi's side, during which of course he received a few old punches: "JK! Stop it! Stop, all of you! ā
Boom!
Richard. Watson's eyes were punched, and for a moment he only felt that the world was a colorful place, full of little stars.
Lee Jun Hee meets Richard. Watson came over, afraid that he would suffer, don't look at Mr. Watson's appearance is quite strong, especially the beard, but in fact he is a highly educated Sven, fighting this kind of technical work, not suitable for him at all, a handful of Richard. Watson pulled aside, rushed forward, and continued hand-to-hand combat.
The more he beats Lee Jun-hee, the more excited he becomes, now he is not fighting at all, but enjoying, since he was discharged from the army, in such a somewhat distorted society in South Korea, he has to dress up himself every day, be polite, etiquette, and bother with the company's affairs, deal with those bullshit things, so that Lee Junxi's blood is going to be cold, it's better here, it's enjoyable!
Boom!
A long-haired punk was beaten with a punch and flew out upside down, Lee Jun-hee stepped forward, looked at the Yankees who surrounded him, and shouted, "Come on! You white-skinned pigs, if you have the ability, come over and let Lao Tzu see if your head is hard, or Lao Tzu's fist is hard! (To be continued.) )
