Roy Lee (born March 23, 1969) is an American film producer who regularly takes well known Asian films and remakes them for American audiences. Examples include, The Ring and The Grudge. Vertigo Entertainment, Lee's production company in Beverly Hills, California, has a first-look deal with Warner Bros. Pictures.
Lee was born in 1969 at Wyckoff Heights Hospital, in Brooklyn, New York, USA, to Korean parents. His father, a doctor, and his mother, had been in America for just three years and were still trying to acclimate. Lee’s mother, a devout Christian, nurtured hopes that he would become a minister.
Lee graduated Walter Johnson High School in 1987. During his undergraduate studies at George Washington University, Lee did an internship at the law firm Fried Frank Harris Shriver & Jacobson. After graduating GWU, Lee attended law school at American University Washington College of Law where he prepared for a career in corporate law.
Roy Edwin Lee (September 28, 1917 – November 11, 1985) was an American baseball player and collegiate coach. He was a Major League Baseball pitcher who played for the New York Giants in 1945.
Roy Lee was named the head coach of the Saint Louis University baseball program in 1960. In seven years, his Billikens built a record of 125–84–5. His teams won the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) regular season title in 1966 and the MVC Tournament championship in 1964–66, earning a place in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) playoffs. Lee's Billikens placed third in the 1965 College World Series.
In 1967, Lee departed the successful Division I program at St. Louis to start the new Division II program at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE). With no scholarships and almost no budget, he quickly built a successful program. In his eleven years as the Cougars' head coach, his teams had a record of 237–144–3 and made eight successive appearances in the NCAA playoffs. Lee's Cougars advanced to the Division II College World Series three times and finished as the 1976 runners-up.
Hot & Cold was founded in 2005 in New Delhi, India by Joshua and Simon Frank. The brothers first paired lo-fi bass and megaphone vocals. After moving to Beijing, China in 2006, Joshua and Simon, then 20 and 18 respectively, began to accumulate an arsenal of effects pedals, quite literally launching themselves at Beijing audiences in frenzied 20-minute sets.
Their debut album is Any Monkey Is Dangerous. Their angular riffs and keyboard jabs have drawn comparison to New York no wave and Cabaret Voltaire, while the lo-fi drum loops, rollicking basslines and irreverent vocals evoke The Fall in both sound and attitude, while touches of yesteryear Bollywood is added into the mix.
Hot & Cold is the only non-Chinese group signed to Maybe Mars, and they have a dedicated audience composed mostly of Chinese musicians making waves in China and abroad, establishing themselves as an integral part of Beijing's music scene.
Hot and Cold may refer to:
You have retired
In a room that's just for you
You don't talk all day
Want to be left in peace to build up strength
You know you're sexy
And that you're popular
You're acting so cool
If I sat next to you I would freeze like ice
But when the day grows older
And when the night gets colder
You suddenly approach to me
And as you treated me, I will now treat you
I want to make you hot, I'll make you hot
And right now when you're hot I'll leave you cold, I will leave you cold
I am gonna make you hot, I'll make you hot
