Chapter 614: Adele's gratitude
Lee Sung-hyun, who reappeared in Los Angeles, did not alarm too many people. Even now, the brokerage company opened in the United States has received a lot of media interviews, but Lee Sung-hyun has never been interviewed in South Korea.
So much so that Lee Sung-hyun's 'LSX' is very famous in the song circle, but few people know him. Even many well-known singers know that Lee Sung-hyun doesn't seem to accept invitations to sing, and prefers to send the written songs to some well-known singer companies.
This year's two songs written by Lee Sung-hyun were written in Taylor. After the release of Swift and Lady Antebellum's albums, they both became hits on the American music charts. Plus written to LadyGaga, almost every one of them is a classic.
This kind of creative ability has made many well-known music companies in the United States hope to get songs written by Lee Sung-hyun. There are even many people who have thought about inviting Lee Sung-hyun to join their music record label.
It's just that after the investigation and understanding of these companies, Lee Sung-hyun not only has a great reputation in South Korea, but even has wholly-owned investment brokerage companies in Asia and the United States. How could such a person accept their solicitation?
This time in Los Angeles, in addition to sending Zheng Nicole home by the way, Li Shengxian also has more work to do. After getting up the next day, Lee Sung-hyun asked the staff to contact the singer who had long wanted to meet him, and prepared to talk about the song.
Adele. Adkins, a rookie singer who has won two Grammy awards for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Singer just over two years after his debut. And this time in Los Angeles, Li Shengxian came at her invitation.
Ever since Lee Sung-hyun wrote her famous song, Adele has always wanted to meet Lee Sung-hyun. Plus she plans to release a new album next year. The two songs that Lee Sung-hyun wrote for him were both selected by his record company.
It's just a matter of limiting yourself to the contract. Lee Sung-hyun has not been able to be contacted, and Adele herself is also anxious. Naturally, its record company was also in a hurry. After receiving a contact call from Li Shengxian's assistant, Adele finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
In the reception room of his record company, Lee Sung-hyun also met this woman who sings very charmingly, but is not too perfect. And when Adele saw Lee Sung-hyun, she also felt that this 'LSX' was really too young!
'Hello LSX! I'm Adele, and I've finally met you! ’
Adele, who hugged Li Shengxian very generously, is undoubtedly very happy about Li Shengxian's arrival. This means: Until the release of her album, it is only a matter of time sooner or later.
In the face of Adele's enthusiasm, Li Shengxian also said politely: "Adele, hello! I'm sorry, but I'm really busy for the second half of the year. Even if I come to the United States this time, I only have a few days to travel. Please forgive me! ”
After both parties were polite, Lee Sung-hyun also negotiated with Adele's agent about the two songs. The price of the song is Adele's agency. Also gave a very good price.
The price of $80,000 a song also means that Lee Sung-hyun is relatively high in the circle of American creators. Of course, Lee Sung-hyun also knows. This has a lot to do with his own worth.
In fact, these two songs, if Adele's agency. If you don't give a reasonable price, Li Shengxian may not authorize it. Anyway, these songs will be. Before sending it to Adele, Lee had already registered the copyright.
The price of the transfer was negotiated. Adele also said enthusiastically, "LSX, I've heard Swift say that you're still a great music producer. I wonder if you can find the time to see these two songs I recorded?
I also know that you are a well-known film and television creator in Asia. Regarding the MV of these two songs, I wonder if you would be interested in giving me some guidance? Please rest assured, I will also pay the corresponding fees. ”
Faced with such an invitation, Li Shengxian smiled and said, "Are you familiar with Swift?" ”
'It's not bad! This year, her record is a big hit, and she has a good chance of winning the Grammys next year. And we both love music creation, so the private relationship is not bad. How's that, interested? ’
Seeing that Adele seemed to be very sincere, Lee Sung-hyun thought for a while and said, "That's it! I'll listen to the songs you recorded first, and if you want to talk about the music MV, I can give you some ideas, and you can find another director to help shoot it.
As for my words, I'm afraid that there is not enough time. Of course, if you can wait a while, then I can take the time. But judging from the current situation, presumably your album should be released soon, right? ”
Well, the company's arrangement will be at the end of next month. In that case, that can only bother you to help me think about the idea of these two songs. Corresponding fees, I will give you a satisfactory price. ’
'Adele, you should know something about me. To be honest, the money is not too much for me, though. But I prefer to make friends, and if you're not fit to sing the songs I write, I won't be able to write the songs you want with more money. ’
'Alright! Then we're friends now! ’
Looking at this woman who was a little free and fat, Li Shengxian didn't say anything more. Accompanied Adele to her company's recording studio and began to listen to her recorded album version of the song.
Listening to the familiar voice and the slightly shocking drum accompaniment, Li Shengxian also nodded with satisfaction: "Great!" It seems that I wrote a song for me, found a singer who could really handle it perfectly. ”
RollingintheDeep, a song that will become popular all over the world in the future. When discussing the accompaniment of the song with Adele, Lee Sung-hyun also suggested that it should be accompanied by more drumming. Now it seems that it is very close to the melody in my head.
Seeing that Li Shengxian seemed to be very satisfied, Adele also said happily: "OK, I am also relieved to hear your evaluation." Do you have any good suggestions for this music video? ”
In fact, Adele loved the song too. When she first got this song, Adele also felt that this song was a big challenge for her. But when she started recording, she found that the song was very much to her liking.
For Adele's consultation, Lee Sung-hyun told Adele about the effects required for the music MV based on his memory of this song. The results were quick and were recognized by Adele.
'LSX, your suggestion is fantastic! The vibration of the drum beat, the vibration of the water cup, that feeling must be great! ’
Compared to other female singers, who are all singing and dancing, Adele is clear that dancing is not her forte. In contrast, she is still very confident in her singing ability. And Li Shengxian's suggestion seems to take this into account.
With the idea of 'good people do it to the end and send Buddha to the west', Lee Sung-hyun also wrote a rough script of the MV and handed it to Adele. This kind of enthusiastic behavior made Adele naturally extremely grateful to Li Shengxian.
But for Li Shengxian, he just returned to her what originally belonged to her, and he was embarrassed to receive this kind of gratitude! (To be continued.) )
