Section 187 Contact Shakira
Since going to the South Korean national team for a training camp, Lee Kyung-won's time has become more tense. Now every week, he needs to spend at least three days recording "Two Days and One Night" and "Infinite Challenge", and then spend two days to participate in the football training camp of the FC Seoul team, so that there are only two days left for him to spend at his disposal, and he can not rest during these two days, in addition to the above few fixed schedules, Lee Kyung-won also has to spend time training in the company and going to school.
If you calculate carefully, Lee Kyung-won's time is really not enough, but fortunately, he has already made a name for himself in music, so he doesn't have to go to the music department of Seoul National University so diligently, and only occasionally goes when he has a problem to solve. In the opinion of these professors, Li Jingyuan's music quality is now very high, and he no longer needs to stay in school all day long to study like ordinary students.
After a month of rushing to the death, some of the odd work on Li Jingyuan's side was over, so that he was a little more comfortable. The main reason is that the preliminary work of "Gundam 00" has been almost done, at least the part related to Li Jingyuan has been completed, and after driving the old man Tomino back to Japan, he doesn't have to face his old face anymore, Li Jingyuan feels a lot better from the bottom of his heart. And in this month's time, Li Jingyuan also wrote the song "Hipsdon'tlie" ("Irresistible") to be used on the World Lu World Cup, and now the remaining task is to contact Shakira, as long as Shakira agrees to sing, Li Jingyuan's World Lu World Cup task is basically completed. Of course, this is only to complete the requirements of the German side, only the training told by the head coach of the South Korean team Adwo Carter still has to continue, after all, Li Jingyuan can be regarded as agreeing to others, if he doesn't care, he will be a little discredited.
Through the route from American friends, Li Jingyuan went through several twists and turns, and finally learned about Shakira's recent itinerary, and also got her private number by the way.
"Hey, is it Shakira Isabel Maibarak Ripoll, please?" The phone rang several times before I heard a very magnetic female voice from the other side.
"I am, you are?" Shakira's voice is a little different from that of ordinary women, not that kind of softness, but full of enthusiasm and energy, and the depth of the voice is also a little more, as if she is speaking with a little abdominal resonance.
"I'm Lee, Korean, and I'm kind of a musician." Li Jingyuan is really not good at making an accurate judgment of his profession now, he should be a variety artist now, but he has a certain reputation in music, and he has been added the name of a composer, plus his current status as a student and teacher, this has 4 careers. And if you want to add it, Li Jingyuan still has the boss of a financial company, an industrial investor, and may have the status of a professional athlete after a while.
βLeeοΌ Is that the same Lee who appeared on the Grammys this year? As a frequent visitor to the Grammys, Shakira is still very aware of the news, although she was not on this year's Grammys, but this did not prevent her from paying attention to this event.
"If you're talking about the guy who suddenly stood on the same stage with the black-eyed peas, it should be me." Li Jingyuan also smiled when he heard Shakira's exclamation. It seems that he is really famous this time, not only the domestic media in South Korea have done a lot of reports on him, but also a lot of foreign news. And it is estimated that the writing is quite exaggerated, otherwise it would not have surprised Shakira, a Latin diva.
"It's you, hello, Lee!" After knowing that the other party is a musician, and has also achieved a lot of results, Shakira's feeling of speaking is obviously a little closer. The communication between musicians and musicians is always closer than when they are with outsiders, and it has nothing to do with race, ethnicity or country, music knows no borders.
"Hehe, I hope it didn't bother you, I came to you this time to have a cooperation with you, I don't know if you have time recently." Li Jingyuan didn't have any ink, and directly said his purpose: "That's the case, I have now written a song for the World Cup here, Latin style, I hope you can sing it." β,
"I'm going to sing?" Shakira was a little hesitant when she heard Lee Kyung-won's invitation, because she has always been a self-composed singer, so she rarely sings songs written by others. Shakira is not used to singing what others say she sings, but she wants to make the song more suitable for her through her own understanding and modification. So after hearing Li Jingyuan say that she wanted her to sing the song after writing it, she thought that Li Jingyuan was not going to revise the song again, which was not quite in line with her habits.
"Lee, I'd love to work with you, but I still have something to say first." After a little consideration, Shakira still said her request, she really didn't want to let go of such an opportunity, after all, she also wanted to try Li Jingyuan's level, and the song Li Jingyuan took out was still the theme song of the World Lu World Cup, of course she knew what kind of opportunity this was. But she didn't want to give up her principles, so she had to talk ahead.
"Okay, I'll listen, you can say it."
"Yes, I'm generally more used to singing songs that I write, and I rarely sing other people's songs, and the main reason is that I don't think a lot of songs are suitable for my style, so if you want me to sing this song, I may ask for some changes to the song."
"Hehe, maybe you won't sing it anymore, right??" Hearing Shakira's words, Li Jingyuan was not surprised, unlike these idol singers in South Korea, many foreign powerful singers are very picky about songs, not like young idol singers in South Korea, they will sing whatever the arranger tells them to, they will make a lot of requirements and modifications to the song, which Li Jingyuan has already deeply felt in his contact with the black eyed peas, so it is not surprising that he has such a request for Shakira now.
"That's it, I still think it's better to make it clear to you first." Hearing Li Jingyuan's words thoroughly, Shakira also smiled and admitted it, and her feelings for Li Jingyuan were much better than at the beginning, at least this unconcealed character was still very comfortable.
"Don't worry, if you have any requirements, we can discuss it, of course, I won't blindly accommodate you, if there is a conflict, it depends on whose eloquence we have." Li Jingyuan said with a smile that he can be said to have a lot of experience in dealing with women of this age, Li Xiaoli, Namie Amuro, and Fergie are all at this age, and from the contact with them, Li Jingyuan has long understood the routine.
"Well, now that we've reached an agreement, shouldn't you give me the song you wrote?" Shakira is not a wordy person either, and after communicating well, she made a direct request.
"In this way, I'll send you a sample first, you listen to it first, and if you think it's appropriate, we'll talk about the next step of cooperation." By the way, I've written the lyrics too, so don't take the sample I sent over as a guide song without lyrics. "The so-called guide song is a song that has not written the lyrics after the completion of the arrangement, and there is already a melody at this time, but the lyrics are composed of some meaningless words or syllables, which cannot be regarded as a finished song, and is mainly used to make people listen to it.
After getting her email number from Shakira, Li Jingyuan packed and sent the songs he had sorted out, and copied a copy of the lyrics as an additional document. After hanging up the phone, Li Jingyuan began to wait with confidence, and he knew that it would not be long before Shakira, who had finished listening to the song, would call him.
It's not that Li Jingyuan is too confident, but he knows the level of this song. Originally, in the previous life, this song was the most memorable of the three official songs of the 06 World Lujie Cup, and the melody and feeling of this song are very suitable for Shakira, after all, this song was originally produced by Shakira. And what is even better than the previous life is that Li Jingyuan has added a lot of new pop elements to this song with his understanding of football and the trend of pop music.
Sure enough, less than an hour after the song was sent, Li Jingyuan's phone rang, and when he picked it up, he saw that the number on it was Shakira, who had just been stored in the number book, and a smile appeared on the corner of Li Jingyuan's mouth and he picked up the phone.
"Lee, you're such a genius, this song is so much to my appetite, I decided, let's say, how do we work together?" The voice on the phone was very excited, Shakira was very satisfied with the song written by Li Jingyuan, both the melody and the rhythm were very in line with her, and the lyrics were also very good, and now she couldn't wait to go into the studio to finish the song.
