I am the savior of China Entertainment

Chapter 169 The path to break into the European and American music scene

"Li He, do you have many work arrangements for next year?" Reba asked.

"It's okay, I have an album planned, and I might have to attend a few award ceremonies." Li Hyuk replied.

In fact, since the release of the "Fantasy" album, various music awards have been awarded continuously, but Li Hyuk did not go to these less important awards.

This is not a show of being a big name, but a status that has already been achieved and then lost its value.

Even so, these awards cannot ignore Lee Hyuk and his "Fantasy." Just like last year, whoever ignores "Fantasy" will suffer a great loss of credibility.

Based on Li Hyuk's performance at the last Golden Melody Awards, it is very likely that Li Hyuk will be crowned the king at the Golden Melody Awards next May.

This is already a recognized fact in the industry, unless the Golden Melody Awards wants to do something special.

"That means you won't be too busy next year, right?" Reba looked hopeful.

"Well, it shouldn't be too busy." Li He rubbed his head.

"That's great," Reba's eyes turned into crescent moons: "I'm not busy, let's go on vacation together."

"Holiday? Where to go?"

"Anywhere will do, as long as I'm with you, I'll be happy."

This was almost a confession. Li He didn't have time to react. Reba looked at Li He eagerly, with little stars in his eyes.

With such a beauty, Li He finally understood why King You of Zhou, who was playing tricks on the princes, made the beauty smile. This charm was irresistible!

"Okay, as long as there is time." Li He finally agreed.

"Great, we have to plan our vacation itinerary carefully!" Reba was happy, and Li He's arms were hugged by her again.

Fortunately, there was no one else in the backstage lounge except the two assistants, otherwise scandals would have been flying all over the sky the next day.

Cheng Lixiang entered the lounge and immediately saw Li He and Reba looking intimate, asking assistant Qiao Meiying with their eyes. Qiao Meiying's eyes indicated, just like what you see in front of you.

When Cheng Lixiang was managing artists, one of her requirements was that she was not allowed to fall in love. But Li Hyuk was the boss. Did she dare to say this condition? No.

And Reba had already received the tacit approval of her boss, and now she actually started to have a good show of women chasing men. Her manager felt like a cabbage that had been raised with great difficulty, but in the end, this cabbage took the initiative to be taken over by someone.

Arch, headache.

Girl, where is your reserve?

"What's the matter?" Li He twitched his hand several times, but it didn't move. He let Reba hold him and asked Cheng Lixiang who came in.

Cheng Lixiang looked strange and said, "I have a strange invitation. I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"What strange invitation?"

"Do you know the rapper BOB?" Cheng Lixiang asked.

"BOB? I heard about it, what's the matter?"

"He wants to collaborate on a song with you, and the invitation has been sent to the company," Cheng Lixiang said.

"Collaboration? I thought Sister Wolf and Taylor would come first. This rapper and I have nothing to do with each other, so why would he invite me to collaborate?" Li He was puzzled.

"I guess your performance at the American Music Awards made him aware of it, so he sent the invitation!" Cheng Lixiang shrugged and guessed.

"Okay, how can we cooperate?" Li He asked.

"BOB will come to Shanghai in the next two days and discuss the specific details then," Cheng Lixiang said.

"OK, we'll know when the time comes." Li He put aside his doubts and said that cooperation is a good thing and there is no reason to refuse.

In fact, it was Taylor Swift who introduced Li Hyuk. She had some connections with BOB. She knew that BOB's new album was being produced and there were still a few songs missing, so she suggested that he come to Li Hyuk to have a look.

Taylor Swift's call to Lee Hyuk later also illustrates this point...

In fact, it is rare for Chinese singers to collaborate with European and American singers. On the contrary, it is more common for Korean singers next door to collaborate with European and American singers.

On a side note, as the current leader in the Asian entertainment industry, Korean stars are recognized for their popularity and breadth in the world.

When people came to Li He to cooperate, Li He naturally had to show some real skills. After thinking about it, he asked his assistant Qiao Meiying to bring over a guitar and said to Reba and Cheng Lixiang: "I have some ideas. Please give me some advice."

one time."

"Okay, okay," Reba held his chin and said expectantly: "Let me hear what song you want to sing."

"Here we come," Li Hyuk simply sang: "Beautiful girls all over the world

I could be chasing but my time would be wasted

They got nothin' on you baby

Nothin' on you baby~

How does this melody sound? Is it okay?"

Reba covered her mouth in disbelief: "Wow, did you just write this?"

"Where? The melody has been in existence for a long time, and the English lyrics are still very simple." Li He said with a smile.

"This is so nice. It's no worse than your English song. Li He, you are really a singing genius."

"Thank you, that's what everyone said."

Cheng Lixiang also nodded and said: "Okay, if I collaborate with BOB on this song, it might even be on the Billboard chart again. There might be hope for a Grammy now."

The Grammys will be held in January next year. Logically speaking, Lee Hyuk has participated in the American Music Awards, and the Grammys are logical. However, the Grammys have not sent an invitation to Lee Hyuk to this day.

Actually, it is not difficult for Li Hyuk to produce a pure English album, but it goes against his original intention of making Chinese music. And as a singer who sings European and American pop songs, he can be white, black, or even

You can be Latino, but you can't be Chinese.

It's weird and nonsensical, but that's how fucked up things are in the Western world.

Therefore, if you want to break down prejudices and barriers, the efforts required are not simple. Without a lot of promotion, and with the influence of the world's mainstream music, Li Hyuk simply cannot make his music known to the vast number of fans around the world.

.

We’ll talk about this later. The most important thing right now is the New Year’s Eve concert.

The annual New Year's Eve concert is a money-burning battle between powerful TV stations. Young people generally don't like to watch TV, and they tend to watch live videos on their mobile phones.

Live broadcasts of the New Year's Eve concerts of various major TV stations have appeared on Penguin Video for a long time. After watching one, the audience can change to another, and go to whichever platform they want to watch which star.

Li Hyuk was a heavyweight guest, and he came on stage at almost 11:30 p.m. Behind him was the king, and in front was Reba.

Reba had just finished an exotic stage performance. He waved to the audience and said beautifully: "The next song is from a singer I have always wanted to collaborate with. Let's sing it together."

Reba almost let it slip that she had always liked it, even though she really liked it.

"This song is called "Simple Love"..." As Reba's words fell, the music started playing.

"I can't explain why I became so proactive.

If you fall in love with someone

Everything will be worth doing~"

After Reba sang this line, Li He's voice suddenly joined in: "I want to declare loudly that I am reluctant to leave you."

even next door neighbor

You can guess how I feel now~"

Li Hyuk's sudden appearance surprised the audience. They did not expect that Li Hyuk and Reba would actually collaborate and sing together. Li Hyuk and Reba's party were overjoyed. This was the first time that the two of them performed on the same stage, which is worth remembering.

In the next performance, Li Hyuk and Reba held hands and looked at each other, singing the song "Simple Love" very emotionally. Although Reba was not very professional in singing, his emotions were sincere, and he could see it when he looked at Li Hyuk with both eyes.

The tenderness and sweetness in it.

The comments in the live broadcast room are all being posted together. Of course, fans of Reba's good looks will not agree. It is estimated that if Reba announces that he is with Li Hyuk, half of his fans will immediately drop.

The New Year's Eve party is about competing for ratings. Because of Li Hyuk and Reba's sweet interactive singing, Mango Channel was slightly better this time.

When Li He and Reba were singing duet, the blue stage next door happened to be when Deng Ziqi was singing "Wedding Invitation Street", so the audience walked between the two live broadcast rooms.

On Deng Ziqi's side, Li He was snatched away by Reba, while on Li He's side, Deng Ziqi was so lonely and waited for the barrage.

After singing "Simple Love", Reba waved her little hand and hugged Li Hyuk. She originally wanted to kiss her, but she showed her true feelings just now and was really emotional.

However, Reba still controlled himself and did not make any more intimate moves, otherwise the scandal would fly into the sky tomorrow.

After Reba went down, Li He smiled and said, "Did you sing well just now?"

"It sounds good..."

"As long as it sounds good, everyone gives Reba a round of applause and encouragement. She is very courageous and dares to sing with me."

The audience was happy, watching Reba's performance, they enjoyed it.

"The next song is quite weird. I don't know if you can sing it. "William's Castle" is for everyone." Li He waved his hand and got ready, waiting for the prelude to start.
