My singer girlfriend is super fierce

Ye Zhiqiu had been writing The Legend of the Condor Heroes intermittently before. After communicating with Shi Nuannuan last time, he worked on it for more than ten days and completed the second volume.

In fact, it would not take that long if he really wrote it with his hand speed. The main trouble was to modify some details.

There are many historical figures and poems quoted in The Legend of the Condor Heroes, which Ye Zhiqiu needs to pay attention to modify, otherwise it is easy to cause confusion.

During this period, the newly signed overseas record company Universal also frequently contacted Ye Zhiqiu.

Before Ye Zhiqiu, many Korean boy and girl groups have proved that Asian faces can also succeed in the European and American pop music circles, but few of them have become popular singers, and even fewer have become top stars.

Therefore, Universal Music has high hopes for Ye Zhiqiu.

During this period, the two sides communicated about Ye Zhiqiu's first work to officially enter the overseas market, which was prepared to be released in the form of an EP (mini album).

An EP contains three songs, no more, no less, and it won't take long to make. It's just right to start with, and can be adjusted in time according to the audience's feedback.

As for the choice of songs, Ye Zhiqiu has too many popular English songs in his mind, but not everything can be sung or is suitable for singing.

The choice of songs should be in line with one's own positioning. After all, as a public figure, he represents the image of Chinese people abroad to a certain extent.

First of all, due to cultural differences and different environments, the lyrics of many English songs are often full of elements such as guns, violence, and religious beliefs. He can't touch such songs no matter how popular they are or how big the market cake is.

Secondly, the style of the song should also be considered. For example, the songs "Baby" and "Love me" sung by Justin Bieber in his previous life are popular all over the world, but that is the music style of a young boy who is just beginning to fall in love, which is not suitable for him.

Therefore, in the end, Ye Zhiqiu can choose rock, love, and inspirational songs that are not easy to step on thunder.

Although there are definitely some listeners who don't buy into this style, Ye Zhiqiu has no intention of pleasing everyone.

Even the pop king Michael Jackson didn't do this. Even when he was at his peak, he was still heavily criticized. There is no need for me to be stubborn.

The best way is to make good use of my own style, grab market share and make money.

Therefore, Ye Zhiqiu considered the three songs of his first overseas EP carefully before deciding.

They are "Numb", "Believer" and "Yellow".

Among them, "Numb" is a classic song that Chinese audiences are familiar with in the past life. The singing band won the "Most Popular International Team Award" with this song. This song was later selected as the theme song of the League of Legends Global Finals. It can be said that it is very popular all over the world.

Compared with the inspirational spirit of returning to the starting point after experiencing a painful life attitude expressed in "Numb", the style of the second song "Believer" is more radical, or even wilder.

This song, sung by the Dream Dragon Band, is a "live killer" with a "vigorous and fierce" style.

Either the singer was killed by the difficulty of singing, or the singer sang well and the audience was excited.

As for the last song "Yellow", it turned back to a quiet and affectionate style.

Three songs, three styles, each classic, Ye Zhiqiu didn't believe that this couldn't open up the situation.

As for Universal Records, it was stunned by Ye Zhiqiu's trump card.

Although it was known that Ye Zhiqiu was a singer-songwriter, Universal was actually prepared to provide help on the album from the beginning, but they never expected that Ye Zhiqiu's creative ability was so outrageous.

After the shock, Universal Records was ecstatic. After learning that Ye Zhiqiu was going to stay in China to make these three songs, they arranged a top music production team to fly from the United States to assist without saying a word.

According to the plan, all three songs will be accompanied by MVs, which can be regarded as full sincerity.

However, when making the MVs, Universal and Ye Zhiqiu had differences of opinion.

The MV of "Numb" is designed to be divided into two scenes. One side depicts a girl's life that is ignored and numb and gray, and the other side is the singer Ye Zhiqiu singing, representing the girl's lonely and silent cry.

For the heroine, Universal suggested choosing a woman with a European and American face.

In addition to the fact that the audience may have a stronger sense of substitution, there is another deeper consideration, which is correct in a certain sense.

This is also a major feature of the performing arts there. As long as there are many people, they can't escape this point.

Because of this, later even appearedThe "magic mirror is blind" spectacle that Snow White is not white, but the witch stepmother who is jealous of her beauty is white and beautiful.

Regarding the choice of the heroine, Ye Zhiqiu insisted on his own opinion.

It's not that he is cynical, but in his opinion, the quality of the work is the first priority. If he is constrained everywhere, the final product will be shabby and far from his own ideas, which he cannot accept.

In the end, Universal Records had to agree. The choice of the heroine was also simple. Anyway, it was a few shots without lines, so Li Wenwen was directly cast.

Ye Zhiqiu first considered letting his girlfriend come, but the bearded foreign director was so shocked when he saw Yu Caiwei that he kept shouting "beautiful", and then a series of "no".

If the heroine is too beautiful, the audience will be distracted.

Except for "Numb", the other two MVs are easy to make.

In the MV of the song "Believer", Ye Zhiqiu made a big breakthrough-shooting with his upper body naked!

In line with the "fierce" style of the song, a major element of the MV is "boxing", and there are several shots of the protagonists with their upper bodies naked, expressing a "tough guy" feeling.

Not necessarily in China, but for MVs in the European and American entertainment circles, showing off muscles with just the upper body is as normal as eating and drinking, provided that you have them.

Here, Ye Zhiqiu gave Universal another huge surprise.

Unexpectedly, under Ye Zhiqiu's thin body, the muscle dimensions and lines are so clear. Even though he is not as good as those big muscle tyrants in the gym, he is not inferior to the "tough guy" singers in the European and American music scene.

This discovery is indeed a pleasant surprise for Universal, as the style of young fresh meat is not popular in the European and American music scene.

Knowing that Ye Zhiqiu was going to be "half-naked", on the day of recording the "Believer" MV, the three layers of employees outside the shooting site of Huahai Entertainment Building were surrounded by "uninvited" employees who came to watch the excitement, and they stretched their necks and could not be driven away.
