Chapter 375: The New King of Pop!
The birthday was great, and the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean" was completed quickly, and the time has begun to move towards December. ◎ Top novel, 2+3x
Lee Chung-hee said before that if nothing else, his first English album will be released before Christmas, and this one has long been hyped by the media, an album with two CDs, each CD has fifteen songs, and also contains pop, rock, jazz, country, rhythm and blues, rap and other genres of albums, undoubtedly in the days that are getting closer and closer, has received huge attention.
On the afternoon of the 26th, Lee Chung-hee appeared downstairs at the headquarters of Imperial Music, and a large group of reporters surrounded him, blocking him and preventing him from leaving.
I couldn't find anyone else for several days, and gradually, everyone's appetite was raised, and the problem was that Imperial Music in the United States had already released rumors that the album had completed all the post-production stages and would enter the final stage of production.
Even some of the world's biggest retailers have expressed such sentiments in a veiled way, saying that the album is good enough to make you kneel down and listen to it.
This undoubtedly drove the reporter crazy, but everyone at Imperial Music was silent, but Jang Dongguo, the representative of Imperial Entertainment in South Korea, said that the plan and the exact time of the trip in South Korea were roughly around the 18th.
However, that is just a drop in the bucket, and for entertainers, although it is enough to write an article with their pen, it is too unattractive.
"Dr. Li, can you tell us about the new album?" The reporter from the Hollywood Chronicle asked anxiously.
It was the "Los Angeles Times", the media with the best relationship with Lee Chung-hee, and their top brand Emerson also asked at this time: "Boss, you should always give a message this time." It's almost done. Publicity has not yet begun. When the time comes, it won't sell well, but it's a disaster! ”
When everyone heard him say this, while laughing, they also muttered in their hearts, it seems that Lee Chung-hee has not given the "Los Angeles Times" special treatment, otherwise, he would have given a special article in normal times.
Everyone was in a hurry, but Lee Chung-hee smiled indifferently. said: "Publicity, then I must have your help, but it's not in a hurry now!" ”
Everyone is an old fox, how can they not hear the ridicule in these words, it's just that this is not an ordinary star, it is useless to say that the ban is useless, and he can only hate itchy.
"When we beg you," Emerson said helplessly. He knows Lee Chung-hee's temperament better.
Lee Chung-hee was amused, "Don't say that. I can't afford it," but he finally turned pale and said, "Actually, we are still working on the new album, because there is a song in it that has some small changes, and it will not be finalized until today." ”
After a pause, he looked at the surprised everyone and continued: "Of course, this will not affect the next production and publicity!" ”
"What song, what style?" A group of reporters quarreled again, and Lee Chung-hee smiled, "This is a secret, a temporary secret, let's talk about it then, of course, I will definitely tell you,"
After a pause, he said: "As for other new albums, you don't have to worry, it's probably the day after tomorrow, that is, on the 28th, everyone will continue to see the company's notice to everyone, and then, although the new album is not clothed, there will be some songs in December, 66 will continue to be released, not a list, just broadcast on TV and radio, which is a kind of publicity, and at the same time, accept pre-orders."
Finally, if nothing else, the 20th should begin to officially enter the list and go on sale, and the publicity will really begin. ”
That's all, naturally there is no way to satisfy a group of reporters, Emerson grabbed Lee Chung-hee again and asked: "Why did you come to that time, now that everything has been recorded and production has begun, according to the general practice of records, it should have started publicity a long time ago." ”
Other reporters also said: "That is, two or three months in advance, or even half a year is not uncommon, and you are too irresponsible." ”
"Yes, even if it wasn't produced, but the pre-sale was okay, even if it was changed before, it was just one,"
Listening to their chaotic quarrel, Li Zhengxi smiled, shrugged his shoulders, and with the help of Li Mingze and others, he turned around and entered the company.
What he said was true, in fact, all the songs had already been recorded, and the post-production had been completed, and originally, he was going to carry out the final copy production, but at that time, he suddenly had an idea, so he changed the song.
It's not that the previous recording was not good, but he wanted to change to another, it was Louis Armstrong, who had the king of jazz, "Hataonderfu1or1D", this song is naturally a classic, and countless people have covered it.
However, so far, no one is better than Armstrong, not even close, Lee Chung-hee does not want to challenge, but before he was reborn, he was a real jazz and rock fan, and he was extremely fond of this "Hataonderfu1or1d".
That's why he wanted to give it a try.
Then, he made a slight change in the arrangement, speeding up the long tempo a little bit, and making it more cheerful and hippie.
This version was immediately praised by people including Babyface and Madonna, because, with a slight change, the song became a younger song.
On November 28, after the song was officially released around the world, an article in Rolling Stone, a well-known music magazine, wrote: "The lyrics have not changed at all, except that the arrangement has changed slightly, and then the song has changed suddenly."
Dr. Lee used his magical hand to completely change this song, and Armstrong used his unique hoarse voice, with his mature mentality and vision to see through the world, to interpret this song full of praise and nostalgia.
He's a mature song, more for adults, but Dr. Lee uses a more cheerful and hippie way to express a completely different feeling, which belongs to young people.
It's like when we were children, running happily on the grass. cheered and jumped in front of him. Singing excitedly about all the good.
Dr. Lee said. He loved this song when he was a child, but he always felt that he couldn't fully interpret it, because he was still young and had experienced too little, but he liked it very much, and he wanted to pay tribute to Armstrong.
Thereupon. He adapted the song with his neutral, very sexy magnetic voice, which is a version that really belongs to young people.
Undoubtedly, he did this qiē very good! ”
Louis Armstrong's "Hataonderfu1or1d" is just the first, or rather, the sentinel that really gets everyone's attention, and the next is the broadcast of the other songs of Lee Chung-hee's "Love & Life (1OVE&1IFE)" album.
However, the process is very crazy. From the 2nd, two songs will be released every day. "ebe1ongtogether", "umbre11a", "empirestate fan nd", "need to lure no", "rebeautifu1", "badday", "lust netnastay", "yes! >> And so on,
One album, two CDs, thirty songs, including pop, rock, jazz, country, rhythm and blues, rap and other elements, one of which has the most nine elements including electronic, dance music, etc.
And these songs are either Grammy-winning hits, or popular, best-sellers, as well as Billboard number one singles, and even singles that have dominated more than ten weeks in a row.
In this way, after Lee Chung-hee raised his singing skills to the highest level, coupled with his long and majestic breath because of his practice, and because of his excellent acting skills, he was able to integrate emotions faster and better, etc., it can be said that he has performed the song to the extreme.
So when these songs came out, when Imperial Music spent a lot of money on PR campaigns, the momentum that swept the world was beyond everyone's imagination.
"Rolling Stone" said again, and the editor-in-chief personally went into battle and recommended, "I have to say, this is an album that has passed five stars, and even, it can be said that this is the best album in the history of music."
When many people hear this, their first reaction must be to say, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Madonna, then, dear, you go and listen to these thirty songs first, if you are still so determined after listening, then, you win, but you win your heart, not reason.
There is no doubt that Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Madonna and other kings and queens in the history of pop music, they have had incomparably brilliant times, but none of their albums can compare to this one.
I'm not talking about the sum of them, but in terms of one, Michael Jackson's "Thriller" is already the best, and the ten songs are basically the best, but there is no way to be like Dr. Lee's.
Thirty songs are selected, and they contain many genres and musical elements, which is the reason why we are amazed.
Therefore, we have made no secret of the fact that he is the best one, and perhaps, we should also say that since Michael Jackson, another pop king in the history of pop music has been born ....... ”
Surprise? Or take it for granted! It was a front-page headline in the Los Angeles Times, accompanied by a photo of Lee Chung-hee lying lazily on the grass with his hands behind his head and looking at the sky.
There is also a sentence next to it, the sky is his limit.
Some people have been saying that greed can't chew too much, Dr. Li actually put 30 songs on an album, probably because he was not sure about the album and was afraid of messing it up, so he shoehorned 30 into it, holding that there is always a mind that can move you.
But now, all the guys who said this shut up, and then flattered as much as they wanted, but I didn't approve of what they said.
Dr. Li said before that he thought he had written a lot of songs, and he liked them all, so it was difficult to pick them up, and in the end, he decided to choose 30.
It's just that more people forget this sentence, or rather, they don't believe it at all, so there is a ridiculous scene in front of them.
Therefore, we should say that this qiē is actually not a surprise, but just a matter of course after he is entangled.
Think about Katy Perry and Boa, the two little divas, who will mess up himself?
What a joke! (To be continued!)
