The next morning, at the invitation of Steele, Li Lin came to the headquarters of Universal Music.

"Welcome Mr. Li Lin, I am Meria, the director of Universal Music." A middle-aged woman wearing a professional suit wearing gold-rimmed glasses said: "This time, the company attaches great importance to Mr. Li Lin's recording, and we specially found Mr. Farrell, one of the world's most famous musicians, to personally check Mr. Li Lin. ”

The most famous?

Since it is the most famous, why add one more? I'm afraid it's just a famous one!

Li Lin sneered in his heart, but who wouldn't exaggerate? "I've heard the name of Mr. Farrell from Universal Music in Huaxia, and he is said to be the most famous musician in the world, and there is no one."

Li Lin added a heavy note on 'one'.

In an instant, Merial was embarrassed.

The most famous? This sentence spread, and others didn't know how to laugh at Universal Records' arrogance.

"Originally, Mr. Farrell was recording for another singer, but after being persuaded by the company, he decided to record this album for you."

"Li Lin, you're finally here?"

As soon as the words fell, a slightly irritable voice came over, "How did you write your "Opera 2"?" WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT WRITING THE SONG "ITSGOINDOWN"? ”

"Isn't Asia a desert of rap music? Why can it bear such sweet fruits in the desert? ”

Farrell couldn't wait to ask his question.

ITSGOINDOWN WAS BORN IN THE UNITED STATES, AND HE HAD NOTHING TO SAY. Even born in Canada, Australia, he did not find it strange. Because there is rap pop in these places, but being born in Asia, where there is a rap desert, he finds it a little incredible.

SO HE WAS EAGER TO KNOW HOW LI LIN CREATED THIS SONG "ITSGOINDOWN" AND WHAT HIS CREATIVE IDEAS WERE.

"Who is this?" Li Lin looked Farrell up and down, the clothes on Farrell's body looked a little bad, his beard was not hanging, and the whole person looked a little dirty.

However, the other party was able to appear on Universal Music in this costume. It is conceivable how heavy his position in Universal Records, or rather. How tolerant Universal Music is of him.

"Pharrell, the musician in charge of your recording this time, you can also call him the executive producer." Meria on the side said with a smile.

"Producer Farrell, hello."

Li Lin politely raised a sunny smile and came out.

"Don't laugh so hypocritically." Farrell waved his hand. "What I hate the most is your entertainer's formulaic smile. I obviously don't want to laugh, but I make myself like that, hypocrisy. ”

The smile on Li Lin's face suddenly stiffened when he heard this, and he was a little embarrassed.

God knows that he just smiled and said hello, and it has nothing to do with the artist's behavior at all, and when he reaches a singer of his level, he doesn't want to laugh when he meets fans, and no one can force him to laugh.

He was laughing just now. It's just a hello, does he have to cry and say hello when he greets someone?

"Mr. Li Lin is from Asia. Artists are more positive. Merial smiled meaningfully.

When Li Lin heard this, a wave of anger surged in his heart.

Coming from Asia, the artist is more positive, and it sounds like a good word, but when you combine it with Merial's eerie smile and the current atmosphere, all the good words change their taste.

Yes, it may sound a bit weak to advocate positive artists in Asia, but it is necessary for artists to guide fans to correct values as public figures.

Is it like an American entertainer, who takes drugs, smokes, fights, takes nude photos, plays all kinds of bad parties, and even kills in public to be called personality?

If this were personality, I'm afraid Americans wouldn't be called the Beat Generation.

In China, the post-80s generation is called the Beat Generation, but in fact, the original meaning of this sentence refers to young Americans, because young people fight, smoke, smoke, drag race, and take drugs, they are called the Beat Generation by many social observers and commentators in the United States.

They even warned the White House that if it was not governed, the United States would collapse.

Of course, the final result is that, like Huaxia, the society has not collapsed, and the former defeated generation still carries the banner of society and continues to move forward.

"Alright."

Farrell waved his hand, "What are you doing with so many things, you haven't told me where your inspiration came from." ”

"From here."

Li Lin pointed to his head and said, "All the inspiration comes from here." ”

Farrell choked on this.

Li Lin's mouth tilted slightly, "Actually, I liked rap music when I was very young, but in Huaxia, there are very few raps, so little that there are almost none." ”

"So I thought, if I come up with rap music, does that mean I'm going to be successful?"

Li Lin laughed as he spoke, "When I grew up, I realized that it is not that there is no rap music in China, but that rap music has no popular foundation in China. ”

"Not only in China, but even in the whole of Asia, rap has no pop base."

Rap, a big music genre in the United States, has the same status as rock, but in China, rap and rock have suffered the same cold current, and even rap is worse than rock.

At least rock still has a few bands supporting it, even though they are not pure rock, and they all add other uh pop elements to it, and there is a little bit of a market for it.

What about rap? Basically, there is no separate market, and the entire pop style is added to other songs as a collocation, and there is no sense of its own.

"That's why I haven't tried rapping all along."

"But it's different in the United States."

Li Lin pulled his hands and depicted a big market, "Rap is quite popular in the United States, so I came here and brought what I once thought." ”

He didn't say this himself.

IT WAS YUNGJOC OF THE SONG "ITSGOINDOWN" WHO SAID IT IN AN INTERVIEW WITH THE MEDIA.

BORN IN ATLANTA, YUNGJOC LOVES RAP MUSIC AND HAS WANTED TO BRING HIS RAP MUSIC TO AMERICANS SINCE HE WAS A CHILD, AND THIS SONG "ITSGOINDOWN" IS HIS GIFT TO AMERICAN FANS.

AND THIS SONG "ITSGOINDOWN" DID NOT DISAPPOINT HIM, NOT ONLY HITTING THE TOP POSITION OF THE U.S. BILLBOARD CHART, BUT ALSO ACHIEVING A GOOD RESULT IN THE SECOND PLACE ON THE U.S. BILLBOARD ANNUAL SINGLES CHART.

"As for where the inspiration for this song came from, I'd say it came from T.I."

T.I.！

It dawned on Farrell.

T.I., a famous American hip-hop rap company, is also a producer himself, and many excellent rappers have been influenced by him to embark on the truth of rap.

Li Lin said that he was inspired by T.I., and Farrell was not surprised at all.

"No wonder your songs have a T.I. style in them, and they were inspired by him." "But if you want to be the king of rap, you have to have your own style, and you can't just imitate T.I. to achieve that status," Farrell said. ”

"I understand." Li Lin said modestly, "Mr. Farrell, I created a Chinese-style music style in Huaxia, I don't know if you have heard of it?" ”

"The new style of music you're composing?"

Farrell looked Li Lin up and down, "Young man, the music style you created should not be a style formed by fusing other music styles!" ”

It's not that he underestimates Li Lin, but there are only a few people in history who can create a music style, and anyone who creates a new style of pop music is recorded in history.

It can be said that no matter how famous the stars are now, no one will remember them in a hundred years, but the names of those who created new musical styles will appear in history.

No matter how he looks at it, he feels that it is impossible for a person of Li Lin's age to create a new style of music.

"Young man, don't be too ambitious."

Every year, he meets a lot of people who claim to be creating new musical styles, but those so-called new musical styles are a kind of music that combines several musical styles.

It doesn't matter if it sounds good or not, but is that a new style of music?

For this kind of person, no matter how talented he is in music, his character alone is questionable.

He didn't want Li Lin to be that kind of person.

"A lonely lamp stands ...... window."

Li Lin didn't defend himself, he just sang quietly.

"East Wind Breaking", whether it is this time and space or the previous time and space, is the pioneering work of Chinese style, and it is perfect to use it to prove it.

"What is this?"

When Farrell saw Li Lin suddenly singing, and the language was still a language he didn't know, he immediately frowned, but then his heart moved and he listened carefully.

"It's not rap, it's not hip-hop, it's not rock ......."

Farrell listened to it while calculating it in his heart, and in the end, he actually found that Li Lin was not singing any music style he knew.

"It can't be."

Farrell couldn't believe his guess, "This must be some musical style I haven't heard of." ”

"There's a lot of music, and it's normal that I haven't heard of it."

He still couldn't believe that Li Lin would create a new style of music.

After all, this kind of thing is very rare in the entire history of the music industry, and it can even be said that the superstar of an era may not even have a name in the history of music, while a person who creates a new style of music will definitely leave his name in history.

Even if this name is just a passing mention, it is still a name in history.

Especially now, all kinds of music styles are blooming, and it is difficult to open up a new music style.
