Chapter 634: Singing for the Olympics (2)
"Lee, I need an explanation."
"Li, can you sue me, why did you wait until we got here to sue us that the Central Propaganda Department did not authorize you to control the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games?"
"Honesty is fundamental."
In the hall, doubts kept sounding, and several artists even wanted to leave directly, but only artists like Akon, who directly or indirectly belonged to the Gold Medal Group, did not speak.
They didn't speak, not because there was no resentment in their hearts, but just because Li Lin was their boss.
Michael. Jackson didn't speak, he just looked at Li Lin.
In the car, Li Lin's reminder to him was still in his ears, he had just received such a big gift from Li Lin, and now he wanted to explain, he couldn't do this kind of thing.
"Can you listen to me first?"
Li Lin raised his hands and pressed down slightly, and the hall immediately quieted down.
Everyone was looking at Li Lin, waiting for Li Lin to give an explanation.
"Regarding the singing of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, we are trying to communicate with the Central Propaganda Department, and the reason why we invited everyone in advance is just to put a little pressure on the Central Propaganda Department."
Li Lin said: "Those who are present, about Sarah. Brightman knew that before, the song "Me and You" was the theme song of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and the singer was set to be Sarah. Brightman and Liu Huan. ”
"Here I send a message to Sarah. Miss Brightman and Teacher Liu Huan apologize, and I will compensate you for a big cast. ”
"However, I was approached by the Central Propaganda Department, and they wanted me to promote the Olympics. And the price they paid was that I replaced Liu Huan on the stage of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games and sang the theme song of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. ”
"Of course. I didn't agree, because doing so would squeeze out Liu Huan's announcement. So I made another request, that is, to change the theme song of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and change the song "Me and You" to "Welcome to Beijing", and the singers were also sung by me and Sarah. Miss Brightman's two-person singing was changed to a world star singing. ”
The crowd looked at Sarah. Brightman, and Sarah. Brightman nodded.
When she heard for the first time that her Olympic opening ceremony singer was going to be canceled, she was almost mad with anger, this is the singing of the theme song of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and she is going to be on the Olympic stage. But then Li Lin promised her a big cast to compensate, and she was calm.
The arm can't twist the thigh, Li Lin opened his mouth, the Olympics were replaced, she wanted to resist, but she couldn't resist, instead of resisting and angering the other party, it was better to get a big cast to compensate back.
has been in the British music scene for so many years, and she is no longer a simple little girl.
"So, I admit it. I took advantage of everyone, but I think if my application is passed, then it won't be considered a use! Li Lin smiled and said, "Of course." If you can't apply for guò, I will compensate you one by one. ”
"Also, when I was invited. Said that everyone was invited to sing for the Olympics, but they sang. You don't have to go to the stage of the opening ceremony of the Olympics and record the song in the studio. Then release the song, which can also cheer for the Olympics. ”
"I believe that everyone will be able to give an explanation to the media at that time."
"It's a play on words." Ayumi Hamasaki said expressionlessly: "But I'm curious, what is the cast compensation in your mouth?" ”
"Can it compensate us for our losses."
"The singing of the Oscars and the Grammys, as well as the singing of the theme songs, interludes, and soundtracks of the blockbuster zuò movies." Li Lin said casually: "You have to believe that our Gold Medal Group is powerful in the United States. ”
"I believe it."
A smile appeared on Madonna's lips, "I suddenly expect that the song "Welcome to Beijing" will not be the theme song of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, because then I will be singing the soundtrack of the big zuò movie." ”
It is not uncommon for Grammys and Oscars to sing her, and it is not very difficult for a singer of her level to sing on the stage of Grammys and Oscars, compared to the original soundtrack of a large-scale Zuò movie.
The reason is very simple, singing the soundtrack of a large zuò movie is equivalent to owning an album out of thin air, although the copyright of this album does not belong entirely to the singer, but the singer still owns part of the copyright.
"I'm looking forward to singing for the Grammys." Ayumi Hamasaki smiled faintly.
She has always wanted to enter the United States, and singing on the Grammys stage is undoubtedly a shortcut to the United States, as for the Olympic Games, there are too many singers who sing in the group this time, even if the Olympics are more influential than the Grammys, I don't know how many grades, but as far as the singer is concerned, this is not even as good as singing for the Grammys alone.
"Since Miss Hamasaki asked for a Grammy, then I'll Oscar!" A sneering smile appeared on the corner of Lee Hyo-ri's mouth, "I hope that after Miss Hamasaki sings for the Grammys, the next day's newspaper will not carry the news that Miss Hamasaki's singing skills are not good." “
"I can't sing?"
Ayumi Hamasaki smiled, "When will Korean artists also have the right to accuse us Japanese artists of not being good at singing?" As far as I know, the singing skills of Korean artists are the real Asian countdown! ”
Don't look at the current weakness of the Japanese music scene, but the Japanese music scene has produced amazing artists such as Miyuki Nakajima, Koji Tamaki, Masahiko Kondo, and Shinji Tanimura, as well as masters such as Jean Hisaishi, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and Tetsuya Komuro.
In terms of musical standards, Japan claims to be second in Asia, and absolutely no country dares to say that it is the first in terms of musical standards.
If China can't do it, South Korea can't do it.
Of course, in terms of the level of music, if you talk about the popularity of Cheng Dù, the situation in Japan, which is suffering from the invasion of the Korean Wave, is very bad.
"Of course, Lee Hyori, you have this self-knowledge, so it is understandable that you took the initiative to ask to go to the Oscars." Ayumi Hamasaki said with a smile.
In terms of influence, the Oscars are bigger than the Grammys, but the Grammys, as professional music awards, have completely exploded the Oscars in the field of music.
"Alright, two."
Li Lin spoke, and the two who were arguing suddenly stopped, each sitting opposite each other, no one was convinced, "The song "Welcome to Beijing" has been reviewed by guò, and it is not a big problem to become the theme song of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. ”
"The so-called cast compensation is just the moon in the water, and it seems a little unworth arguing about this!"
"Whether it's worth it or not, you still need to see Ayumi Hamasaki's own thoughts, although the artists of my Republic of Korea are generally not as good as Japan, but there have also been top music producers like Lee Ho-yang and Park Jin-young." Lee Hyo-ri said.
"Aunt Lee Hyo-ri admits that the Korean music scene is not good, and she still wants to save face." Ayumi Hamasaki laughed, "As for Li Haoyang and Park Zhenrong, these top music producers, hehe." ”
One Miyuki Nakajima is enough to beat the entire Korean music producer, not to mention a master like Ryuichi Sakamoto, who once won the Oscar for Best Original Music.
This is a representative figure in the Japanese music scene.
Jean Hisaishi, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Tetsuya Komuro, any of these three can sweep the entire Korean singer and beat the Korean music scene without pressure.
There is at least one Luo Dayou in Huaxia who supports the scene, and there is no master in South Korea who can support the scene.
"Ayumi Hamasaki, you ......."
Lee Hyo-ri was trembling with anger.
She admits that there are indeed no master-level people in the Korean music scene, but Park Jin-young and Lee Ho-yang, the top Korean music people, also feel that they are not bad, and they are slapped in the face in this kind of thing involving the face of a national song scene, and she can't wait to slap a shoe on Ayumi Hamasaki's smiling face.
"Two girls, it doesn't seem good to quarrel on such an occasion!" Michael. Jackson's gaze swept over everyone, "Since everyone is here to sing for the 08 Beijing Olympics, why bother fighting at this time?" ”
"If you have this time to be vindictive, it's better to think about how to sing better."
"Chinese, but it's hard to learn."
"I have always felt that Chinese is the most difficult language in the world to learn, and there is no one." Madonna took Michael. Jackson's words, "I don't know how you learned this language. ”
"Ms. Madonna, for Chinese people, English is also difficult to learn." Li Lin said with a smile: "But fortunately, "North. Everyone only needs to sing a few words in the song "Welcome to Beijing", and I believe that there will not be too many problems in the singing of the song. ”
There was no dissatisfaction among those present.
Long before they came, they knew that the lyrics they sang in a chorus of stars like this might only be one or two lines, but what did it matter?
Being able to sing on stage at the Olympics is a great honor in itself, and they don't really care how much they can sing.
"But it's not difficult to sing, but I still hope that everyone can train well and strive to be perfect."
"In addition, during this time, please also cooperate with the publicity, I believe that everyone still hopes that the song "Welcome to Beijing" will become the theme song of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games!"
"Of course." Laura Feiqi said with a smile: "For your cast compensation, I still prefer to sing songs on the stage of the Olympic Games, for me, it is a great honor to sing on the stage of the Olympic Games, even if it is with many singers." ”
Moreover, it can also easily open the Chinese market.
Laura Fizzie muttered to herself in the bottom of her heart.
She doesn't care about the cast compensation, whether it's the Grammys or Oscars or the original soundtrack of the blockbuster Zuò movie, she doesn't care.
Because those are not very helpful for her to open up the Asian market.
Although the Grammys and Oscars have a wide global reach, they are still a little bit behind in Asia, especially the Grammys, which are rarely watched in Asia.
As for opening up the European and American markets, she no longer has that ambition.
"Tomorrow, I'll help with the publicity, and I'll ask you to find a few reporters to interview me." (To be continued......)
