Chapter 118 Disagreement of Ideas

When Mariah Carey and Mariah Carey started recording songs, Song Yasuan saw the second woman who worked harder than herself after time travel, singing, discussing, singing, discussing, humming while discussing, all her attention and energy were around With the songs coming, the work intensity is terribly high.

"APLUS, I think, this line can be sung in this way, isn't it more effective?"

Moreover, she has a strong desire for control in the recording studio, and her status in Sony Columbia Records is far from comparable to that of Song Ya. When she asked questions like "Is it?" But just be polite.

"I still like the original way of handling it, can we not change it?"

Song Ya asked listlessly. From a good friend to a partner, I didn't expect such a situation. Mariah Carey has been trying to carve out the singing method and even the lyrics in various ways. What kind of idea is purely based on the pursuit of perfection in art.

After recording for a few days, Song Ya was very painful. He didn't insist on restoring the original singing 100%, but suffered from the disagreement between the other party and his own ideas.

Mariah Carey ranks second among the current pop singers (Axl Rose, the lead singer of Guns N' Roses), and her singing skills are top-notch, which leads her to increase the difficulty of her singing in order to fully express her good voice. Chasing to the limit, the more the lyrics need to be matched with the singing, the less literary space will naturally be, which is why the songs she wrote are criticized for being too shallow.

In fact, those criticisms are not unreasonable. She changed the chorus part of Empire State of Mind to a level of difficulty, but it was not as good as the original version, which is commonly known as singing too full and showing off skills.

For example, the song of the same name in her new junior high school to be released in May, the difficulty of singing is close to the limit of human beings, ten consecutive E5 scales, the highest is G7, continuous skipping, standing in the dolphin sound, etc., a complete cover nightmare .

Of course, the original intention of recording that song was to establish her status as a top female singer, and to completely smash the rumors that she was a studio singer. It is understandable to sacrifice some things, but Empire State of Mind doesn't need to play like that at all.

"Hey, come on, APLUS!"

Mariah Carey smiled and twitched Song Ya's arm with the score in her hand, "Come on, I'm not sleepy yet!" She pressed the beeper, "Send another cup of coffee to APLUS." Then trot excitedly Back to the studio.

"No, I'm full, change to bourbon."

Song Ya feels that only strong whiskey can make her spirit up...or fall asleep after drinking, she has clearly stated that she does not want to change her attitude, and she still does not give up trying, which is a bit annoying, after all, she is the song producer.

"Roberto, let's talk."

By the time she finished recording this passage, Song Ya had already swallowed a large glass of bourbon, woke up Roberto Clivell who was dozing on the sofa, and pulled him to the sink outside.

"You have to help me, Roberto." He poured cold water on his head well, "After recording like this, the finished product will be completely different from the song in my heart."

"You have to have the majesty APLUS of a producer. Ms. Kelly is very simple, and her mental age is definitely not as old as yours. She is more like a child in the recording studio. Music is her toy, and she can't stop playing..."

Roberto Clivell also washed his face, "Be stricter, say what you have to say, control her spontaneously, and of course coax her properly, just like a father treats his daughter, understand?"

"But she..."

In the middle of Song Ya's words, Mariah Carey poked her head out of the recording studio, "APLUS~Roberto~ I caught being lazy..."

The two looked at each other with wry smiles, and returned to the recording studio, "APLUS has something to tell you,

Miss Kelly. "Roberto helped to speak.

"What?" Mariah Carey looked at Song Ya.

"Miss Kelly, I still decided to use the original lyrics and singing method. I won't discuss this point anymore." Song Ya said and took her personal belongings, "Let's record this for today. I'm a little tired. I'll take a day off tomorrow. Continue the day after tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow!?" Mariah Carey's eyes widened.

Song Ya ignored him, turned around and left.

"APLUS! Are you going to steal a day's laziness? You can't do that!" she shouted from behind.

"I'm a producer. My company rented the recording studio. I'm willing to empty it for a day. I have the final say here." Song Ya didn't look back.

Before he arrived at the hotel, he received a call from Motula, who should have been sued, "Mr. Motura, you promised to give me the right to be a producer. These are all written into the contract."

"I know, I know, I'll just call and ask, and complete the task." Motula laughed and chatted a few words before hanging up the phone.

Song Ya did have something to do the next day, a date.

Mira has just returned from an audition for the Hollywood Dangerous Lamb crew, but it's not the heroine that she had talked about at the beginning, but the daughter of the heroine, an important female supporting role, she directly participated in the final round of auditions, and then...was eliminated up.

The old director De Palma, who once helped his family, bluntly said that her acting skills cannot afford the role of an important female supporting role. The budget of this film is more than 10 million, which is a big investment for suspense thrillers. The work of testing the waters in this new field is very important, so it is impossible to provide excessive care.

And according to Mira's crying on the phone, the old man only let her audition for five minutes, and then read her for half an hour, saying that he was very disappointed in her, she didn't have any acting talent, and her expression should be vivid, if she really wanted to be a good one Actors have to work hard on their acting skills.

"It's just nagging from the elders, which means he doesn't treat you as an outsider." Song Ya persuaded her on the phone.

Mira's acting skills are really bad. After many years of modeling career, she seems to always be in pose, either frowning coolly, or showing all kinds of sweet smiles. In the past year, she was led by Song Ya On the road of being a singer, there is no time to study acting skills. What a vivid expression... Song Ya can only say that you are thinking too much, old man.

The two agreed to meet at a private dance studio on Manhattan's Upper West Side.

Hayden drove a rented car and took Song Ya to the downstairs of the private dance classroom. There are galleries and theaters where artists gather nearby. Stars come and go without special attention. Still struggling with Rodney King's incident, the trend in other parts of the United States gradually subsided, and the paparazzi's stalking of the two was not as tight as before.

Song Ya and Hayden went to the second floor and met Mira's manager and Mrs. Jovovich at the door of the dance classroom.

After the four of them greeted each other, "Wait a minute, Mira is trying on clothes." Mrs. Jovovich seemed to be in a good mood. She rushed to the dance studio, and in the spacious dance studio, Mira was surrounded by several people. , they were busy changing the gorgeous rococo dress on Mila, and stopped to discuss it from time to time.

"Remember? APLUS?" Mrs. Jovovich looked out of the window at Central Park in the distance, "When Mira auditioned for De Klerk, we could only rent the small, shabby ones in Brooklyn." dance classroom."

"Of course I remember, Mrs. Jovovich." Song Ya smiled, how could he not remember.

"The most difficult days are finally over." Mrs. Jovovich sighed for some reason, "Those snobbish guys, hmph, XXXX..." She seemed to swear a curse word in Maozi language at the end.

"Mrs. Jovovich met an old friend just now." Mira's manager smiled and winked at Song Ya.

Song Ya made up the plot of the down-and-out child star's parents being ridiculed and then turned red and slapped in the face. She probably felt that eight or nine were close to ten. This is probably why Mrs. Jovovich is in a good mood today.

"Should we also buy a house in New York." Mrs. Jovovich pointed across the Central Park and said, "Mila's career is in New York and Los Angeles."

"Upper East Side?" Mira's agent frowned, "It's very expensive there, and the sale of a house that meets Mira's status not only needs to be approved by the community council, but also has to submit a proof of assets worth tens of millions of dollars. The review process It’s not easy, the old money doesn’t welcome celebrities to stay here.”

"So much trouble?" Mrs. Jovovich was taken aback.

Mira's agent replied: "It's about the same. The old money is so virtuous. In fact, this place is very good. Many artists and stars buy properties in the Upper West Side."

Mrs. Jovovich glanced unwillingly in the direction of the Upper East Side, and she turned to Song Ya and asked, "APLUS, do you plan to buy a house in New York?"

"No, I don't know much about this..." Where did Song Ya get the spare money to buy a house now.

"Which do you think would be right here, the Upper East Side?" Mrs. Jovovich asked.

"I don't know much about real estate..." Song Ya suddenly remembered that Tribeca was mentioned in the original lyrics of Empire State of Mind. Since it was particularly boasted, the people who could live there must be either rich or expensive, "How about Tribeca?" ?”

"Tribeca..."

All three of them laughed, "A star wouldn't live in Tribeca..."
