In a previous life, "see-you-again" was the theme song of the movie "Fast and Furious 7". Following the unexpected death of starring Paul, his posthumous work "Fast and Furious 7" has also become a work of mourning for countless movie fans.
And "see-you-again" was born under this situation. This is a song to commemorate and remember Paul, which makes people cry.
This is why Zhou and others feel that this song is a little different.
Compared with the previous four songs, the fifth song is obviously full of sadness. Coupled with Li Qing's powerful and infectious singing voice, it can be said to be very touching, making people almost forget the story mentioned in the lyrics.
When the five songs were played, everyone smiled.
"If a song of this quality cannot become popular all over the world, then I will doubt the hearing of contemporary people."
Julia's eyes were clear and she smiled and said: "At this moment, I finally agree with what Joy said before. Boss, you are indeed the soul of the entire company. Without you, the company will be unable to move forward. You have a pair of God's hands, which can turn decay into magic, and even
Turning stone into gold."
Li Qing was a little unaccustomed to this kind of flattery in person, so he chuckled: "I...can't refute."
Julia and others all laughed.
Next, it’s time for the final recording.
Li Qing needs to complete the production of five songs within a week, which involves many people and things. However, with Li Qing's current identity and status, he no longer needs to personally intervene in everything. Someone will take the initiative to arrange everything.
appropriate.
Because Taylor wanted to participate in the male and female chorus recording of "ore", he specifically turned down many announcements and started practicing songs with Li Qing.
In addition, "see-you-again" also needs a rapper to perform auxiliary singing. It is also a song that requires the cooperation of two singers. After a short screening, BGM asked the famous American singer Jesse
Lan sent out an invitation.
It happened that Jesse was filming a commercial in Hollywood, and his agent came with Jesse as soon as possible after receiving the invitation from BGM Entertainment.
Today, Leesin's name has attracted more and more attention from people in the industry with the popularity of the song "Bringing Back an Old Love" and Taylor's ninth consecutive win at the Billboard Music Awards.
Jesse can be said to be a first-tier rapper in the United States. In terms of popularity, although he is not as popular as Taylor today, he is still called a superstar by the media.
Such a singer attracts attention no matter where he is.
But as soon as he heard Leesin's call, Jesse immediately put down his work and drove to BGM Entertainment.
This is enough to prove that Li Qing's influence has gradually emerged in the European and American music circles.
This is of course obvious. Not to mention Li Qing's identity as the father of Harry Potter, Li Qing's ability to single-handedly push Taylor to his current status, as well as songs such as "tix-tok" that are still popular nowadays, are enough for Jesse to ignore his status.
I quickly rushed to BGM to meet with Li Qing.
Jesse Tolan is a black rapper. He is thirty-six or seventeen years old. The fancy clothes unique to hip-hop people in the past have quietly disappeared from his body, replaced by a straight suit and leather shoes, which look extremely formal.
After arriving at the BGM company, Jesse showed his big white teeth, shook hands with Li Qing and smiled: "Hey, man, have you written any amazing songs again? In fact, I am not just a rapper. In terms of pop music, such as rock,
I also know a lot about jazz and other things."
When they first met, Jesse expressed his feelings nakedly.
He very much hopes that Li Qing can write a few songs for himself. Whether it is rock or jazz, he is good at everything.
This is also what his agent thinks.
But Li Qing obviously did not have too many discussions with Jesse. He directly stated his purpose of coming to him, and then said: "This song will appear in Taylor's concert in three weeks, so we can discuss it."
We don’t have much time, um, Jesse, are you interested in working together?”
Jesse and his agent looked at each other, then looked embarrassed, "I have a lot of ads recently..."
Li Qing heard the words, looked at the time on his watch, and immediately stood up, "That's it, thank you Mr. Jesse for taking time out of your busy schedule to come..."
Jesse was stunned for a moment. This was not the rhythm of negotiation!
Damn it, are you asking me to cooperate? After all, I am also the leading rapper in the United States!
His agent also quickly winked at Jesse.
"Wait! Wait a minute!"
Jesse quickly stood up, stopped Li Qing and said, "I am indeed very busy, but if you need my help, Leesin, I will definitely be happy to do so."
"Then your job..." Li Qing frowned.
"Your side is the most important."
Jesse smiled: "I have wanted to collaborate on a song with Leesin for a long time, and our company has been trying to get in touch with you, but there has been no news..."
Yes, including Jesse, and even throughout Europe and the United States, many record companies and singers have more or less contacted Li Qing's company after Taylor became popular, and Li Qing did receive these requests.
Invitations to collaborate were, without exception, rejected by him.
As Taylor said, each of the songs written by Li Qing is worth a lot of money. If they were sold casually for a little money, it would be the biggest insult to these classic songs.
Seeing that Li Qing seemed to be impatient, Jesse quickly introduced the topic: "Hey, Leesin, can I watch the song?"
Li Qing nodded and asked Jesse to pass the lyrics and music sheet of the song "see-you-again".
Jesse opened it with interest, and after taking a look, his eyes lit up!
This is a song with a strong hip-hop style. Except for the chorus, there is also a long rap section in the middle. Jesse feels that this song is tailor-made for him!
No wonder you came to him!
As a professional hip-hop singer, Jesse has a clear sense of his own style and market positioning!
Without thinking, he decided to agree.
Although it is impossible to judge the quality of this song, since it was written by Leesin, it must be extraordinary.
After Jesse read the entire song, he briefly pondered the general style of the song in his mind, and then said, "Okay, I'm willing to collaborate with you on this song."
Li Qing nodded and said: "What price do you want? Let's settle this matter now and start rehearsing tonight."
Jesse thought for a while, stretched out a finger, and smiled: "Man, one dollar is enough!"
Li Qing asked strangely: "One dollar?"
"Yes."
Jesse smiled and said: "I like this song very much. I will cooperate with you even if there is no labor fee. We Americans don't like to default on favors, and we also hate being owed by others, so for one dollar, we will cooperate. Of course, if this
If the song is made into an album in the future and released in the United States, then we can continue to discuss labor fees."
Li Qing smiled slightly: "Okay, one dollar."
After signing the contract, in the next few days, Li Qing, Taylor, and Jesse frequently went in and out of the recording studio to refine the five new songs.
A week later, Li Qing saw Jesse off and agreed to meet him at Taylor's solo tour next time.
After the recording was completed, Taylor also began to fly around the United States frequently to rehearse for his solo tour in half a month.
It was only then that Li Qing remembered the cooperation incident on "Titanic".
Liu Qin and Li Qing had informed Max Films staff about coming to discuss the script for "Titanic". However, because Li Qing was busy, Max Films staff, including director Scott and the person in charge
Tony and Tony didn't bother him too much. They just left a contact number and left, but they didn't go far. Instead, they stayed in a hotel on the outskirts of Los Angeles and waited for Li Qing's call.
It can be seen that Max Films attaches great importance to this cooperation.
After all, it is a big project worth 300 million US dollars.
Now that Li Qing has finished his work, it is time to talk about the production of the movie "Titanic".rw
