In addition, there are many things about Li Hyuk in July. The first is the official release of the new album "Youth Evening News" by Xu Song, who is also Li Hyuk's mentor and friend.
Just like what Li Hyuk said before, this album has a rather high-brow feel. Professionals in the industry rated it highly, but ordinary fans found it a bit boring.
This album can be regarded as a description of Xu Song's ten-year music journey. From being one of the three giants of QQ Music to gradually becoming a central force in the music world, Xu Song also has a lot of insights.
Xu Song also said in an interview before the album was released that he was very grateful to one person, and that was Li Hyuk.
Because of Li Hyuk's appearance, Xu Song's mentality of seriously making good music was rekindled. He would then polish himself and make every song well.
This can be regarded as a virtuous circle. Because there are strong opponents, musicians are encouraged to continue to pursue better themselves and better music, and the fans are blessed.
The singers rolled around, but in the end it was the fans who enjoyed the music.
Not only Xu Song, Xue Zhiqian, and Li Ronghao all said that they must seriously make good music. The side meaning is that everyone was aroused by Li Hyuk to win and lose, and they have the heart to make good music.
Li He is very happy to see this step. After all, it is conducive to the development of the entire Chinese music scene, and it is he who ultimately benefits.
Only by making the pie in the Chinese music scene bigger will we have the opportunity to continue to share the largest pie in the future.
If we don't make progress as before, the music market will shrink to the point of being invisible sooner or later.
The reason why Jay Chou is Jay Chou is because he emerged from the Age of Gods, and with the support of many great people in the Chinese music scene, his status as the top king of the Chinese music scene is unshakable.
Although many people may not appreciate Jay Chou's music, they cannot deny his status in the history of Chinese pop music in his previous life.
Therefore, if Li Hyuk wants to achieve his own status as a god, it is natural that he also needs the support of many opponents.
Otherwise, it would be too lonely for Li Hyuk to dominate the Chinese music scene alone.
In fact, Li Hyuk himself is also cultivating rivals, such as Liu Jiayi and Zhang Hanhan, who are all diva templates. Both of them are singers under his company, which can form a healthy competition.
In mid-August, the MTV Island Music Video Awards Ceremony was officially held, and Li Hyuk set off for the island country as a special guest.
This year's award ceremony was held in Osaka. As a landowner, Airi Suzuki was waiting for Li Hyuk's arrival at Osaka International Airport early in the morning.
Although Li Hyuk has a fan base in the island country, unlike in China, he cannot go out without a certain disguise. In the island country, Li Hyuk has no problem traveling normally.
But Airi Suzuki, as a very popular idol, was different. She wore a big sun hat and sunglasses that almost covered her face, so Li Hyuk couldn't recognize her at the first time.
"I mean, Airi, your dress is too exaggerated!" Li He complained.
Suzuki Airi hugged Li Hyuk's arm tightly, looked around cautiously, and said to Li Hyuk: "Many of my fans, and those male fans, are really exaggerated. Last time Yuriko's sister traveled by train, she met
It’s so obscene.”
"Uh," Li He was speechless. Considering that the sports culture of the island country is very developed, it's not surprising.
Because the award ceremony will not start until tomorrow, Airi Suzuki took Li Hyuk to the hotel to rest and then went down to the award venue to rehearse.
"Onii-chan, I've heard all over the island country that you have had scandals with several actresses. Tell me, which one do you like?" Airi Suzuki asked when they went to the rehearsal venue.
"You also know this?" Li He was shocked.
"Well, actually, I don't want to know, I just pay special attention to your news. Recently, netizens from the island country launched a poll to ask which actress they would like you to choose as your girlfriend. I ranked third!" chirped Airi Suzuki.
Said.
"Who is the first and second?" Li He was a little curious.
"The first is the woman named Reba, and the second is Arimura Kasumi." Airi Suzuki replied.
Li He touched his head: "Reba, I can understand, after all, we have had scandals, but who is this Arimura Kasumi?"
"Miss Arimura, you don't even know?" Airi Suzuki looked at Li He like a country bumpkin.
"Well, as for the actresses from the island country, I may know those from the older generation better, but I don't know much about the new generation."
In fact, Li Hyuk is most familiar with Hiro Nagano from the island nation. After all, Ultraman Tiga is not only a classic of Ultraman here in the island nation, but also a memory for many people born in the 1990s in China.
As Da Gu, who is handsome and cute, is naturally well known to Chinese audiences.
I still remember when I was young, everyone was still arguing about who was the most handsome in human form, Dagu or Ultraman Taro.
When you grow up, you will feel childish when you look at these new Ultraman.
If you think about it carefully, the reason why Ultraman Tiga has become a classic is because it carries meanings that many children's films do not carry, about dreams, peace, courage and other enduring human topics.
"Although Ms. Arimura debuted earlier than me, she is very popular in the island country and is known as the village beauty. You will definitely like her very much when you meet her, Onii-chan," Suzuki Airi said.
I like all beautiful women, Li He thought to himself.
After two simple rehearsals at the venue, the results were good. The chief director of the awards ceremony, Wu Shengyexiong, gave Li He a thumbs up: "You are very good. You are one of the Chinese singers I have seen who performs well live."
"Thank you, Director Wu Sheng..." Li He said politely.
"OK, get ready tomorrow. This is a stage for the entire island country and even Asia. Perform well." After Wu Shengyexiong and Li He finished speaking, they went to do other things.
Airi Suzuki watched Li Hyuk's rehearsal and felt great. After Li Hyuk finished, she took the initiative to hold Li Hyuk's hand: "Come on, Oni-chan, I'll treat you to the best sashimi in Osaka."
Although he doesn't like eating so-called sashimi, Suzuki Airi is kind-hearted after all, and Li He doesn't want to be disappointed, so he goes along.
I originally thought that Airi Suzuki would take Li Hyuk to a well-known Japanese restaurant in Osaka, but Airi Suzuki actually took Li Hyuk into an alley. She seemed to be very skilled, and finally stopped at the door of a store with a sense of history.
"Airi, where is this?" Li He looked at the dilapidated buildings around him and felt very strange.
"This is the best sushi restaurant in Osaka, and the sashimi is also very good." Suzuki Airi said, pulling Li He in.
When dining with Airi Suzuki, Li Hyuk's assistant and bodyguard couldn't be left vacant, so they also arranged a table for them.
Airi Suzuki communicated with the shop owner in Japanese, and after a while she ordered the food. Then she saw the shop owner, an old man in his eighties, who was also the chef of this shop.
In fact, in the traditional catering culture of the island country, the inheritance between father and son is very important. There are sushi restaurants that have been open for hundreds of years, and it is usually the father and son who run the shop together.
So this shop is also a traditional Japanese restaurant, with the father cooking and the son serving customers outside.
