My singer girlfriend is super fierce

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

In fact, it would not take that long to write at his hand speed. The main trouble lies in the modification of some details.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" quotes many historical figures, poems, etc., all of which need Ye Zhiqiu's attention to revise, otherwise it is easy to cause confusion.

During this period, the newly signed overseas record company Universal also had frequent contacts with Ye Zhiqiu.

Before Ye Zhiqiu, many male and female groups in South Korea had already proved that Asian faces can be successful in the European and American pop music circles, but very few became popular as singers, and even less became top-notch.

Therefore, Universal Music has high hopes for Ye Zhiqiu.

During this period, the two parties communicated that Ye Zhiqiu's first work to officially enter the overseas market will 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 for the lead, and can be adjusted in time according to the audience's feedback.

For the choice of songs, Ye Zhiqiu has too many popular English songs in his mind, but not all of them can be sung, or are suitable for singing.

The choice of songs must be in line with your own positioning. After all, as a public figure, I represent the image of Chinese people outside 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.

Secondly, the style of the song must also be considered. For example, although songs such as "Baby" and "Loveme" sung by Justin Bieber in the previous life are popular all over the world, they are the music style of the young Zhengtai who is just in love, and it is not suitable for me.

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

Although there must be some audiences who don't buy this style, Ye Zhiqiu has no intention of pleasing everyone.

It's better than the king of pop, Michael Jackson, didn't do this. Even when he was the most popular, he wasn't badly hacked, so he didn't need to be bullied.

It is the kingly way to make good use of one's own good style, grab market share, and earn a lot of money.

Therefore, for the three songs of his first overseas EP, Ye Zhiqiu thought carefully before deciding on them.

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

Among them, "Numb" is a classic song familiar to Chinese audiences in the previous life. The singing band won the "Most Popular International Team Award" for this song. This song was also selected as the theme song of the League of Legends Global Finals. It's on fire all over the world.

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

This song sung by the Magnum Band, with a "violent and vigorous" style, can be called a "scene killer".

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

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

Three songs, three styles, the first classic, Ye Zhiqiu did not believe that this could not open the situation.

As for Universal Music, they were stunned by Ye Zhiqiu's move.

Although they knew that Ye Zhiqiu was a singer-songwriter, in fact, Universal was ready to provide help on the album from the very beginning, but they never expected that Ye Zhiqiu's creative ability was so outrageously strong.

After the shock, Universal Music was ecstatic. After learning that Ye Zhiqiu planned to stay in China to produce these three songs, he arranged for a top music production team to fly over from the United States to assist.

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

However, during the production of the MV, Universal and Ye Zhiqiu had disagreements.

The MV concept of "Numb" is divided into two scenes, one side depicts a girl's neglected, numb and gray life, and the other side is singer Ye Zhiqiu singing a song, representing the silent cry of the girl's loneliness.

As for the heroine, Universal suggested choosing a woman with a European or American face.

In addition to the stronger sense of substitution of the audience, there is another layer of deeper consideration, which is correctness in a certain sense.

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

Because of this, there was even a "blind magic mirror" spectacle in which Snow White was not white, and the witch stepmother who was jealous of her beauty turned out to be 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 comes first. If he is constrained everywhere, the final product will be far from what he thinks in his heart. This is unacceptable to him.

In the end, Universal Music had no choice but to agree, and the choice of the heroine was simple. Anyway, it was a few scenes without lines, so Li Wenwen was directly cast.

Ye Zhiqiu's first consideration was to let his girlfriend come, but when the bearded foreign director saw Yu Caiwei, he was shocked and shouted "beautiful", followed by a series of "no".

The heroine is too pretty, and the audience will be in for the show.

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

In the MV of the song "Believer", Ye Zhiqiu made a big breakthrough - shooting topless!

Echoing the "hard and fierce" style of the song, a major element of the MV is "boxing". There are several bare-chested shots of the main character, expressing a "tough guy" feeling.

Not necessarily in China, but for MVs in the European and American entertainment circles, showing off your upper body is simply a normal thing to eat and drink, the premise is that you have to have it.

Here, Ye Zhiqiu gave Universal another huge surprise.

Unexpectedly, under Ye Zhiqiu's seemingly thin body, the muscle dimensions and lines are so clear. Even if 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 circles.

This discovery is a real surprise for Universal, and it is not popular in the European and American music circles.

Knowing that Ye Zhiqiu was going to be "half-naked", on the day of the "Believer" MV recording, outside the shooting site of Huahai Entertainment Building, the three floors inside and outside the three floors were surrounded by employees who "came uninvited" to watch the excitement, all of them stretched their necks to catch up. Can't drive away.
