What do you think of them, Eric?Adrian, who took off his headphones, asked the music producer around him.
not bad.
Eric Norton, who also took off his headphones, savored it before giving an answer. Christina's voice was more ethereal, perhaps it was related to her previous favorite music of the spirit song type.Britney's magnetic voice is also very interesting, and she will definitely like it more.If you only have rap skills, Christina will win the upper half, while Britney will have a lot more and more business value.If there are no other questions, we can conduct the next step of training.
Although Eric Norton is not as famous as Max Martin in public, he is still a very outstanding music producer in the industry.
Compared with movies, the role of producers is more important in music, especially in pop music. They know what kind of melody to please listeners and fans. Sometimes a mediocre song can become very good through their hands. Whether a singer can have a good producer when he debuts largely determines whether he can become famous.
Such top producers are also the competition for various record companies. Although RUN Records, which is integrated by AC Media by several small companies, cannot compete with which large record companies, it also has its own attractiveness.
For example, Norton went to his house to visit because of the songs Adrian's interest when he was making music for Super Boys.
Of course, without surprise, Norton went on a disappointment and returned with great success. Adrian said that he only thought of the good melody he remembered before, so he asked someone to help him complete it, but he did not expect that he was finally composed like this and was quite popular.
Hell, why can't you keep this rising state?
Norton complained so much when he left, which shows how much he liked those songs, and it also shows from another perspective that good songs will not escape the eyes of professionals.
But Adrian didn't plan to do this again unless it was really necessary.
Although you can know guitar and piano, it is only limited to knowing it. There are many excellent songs in your head, but you have no attainment in this place regardless of your past and present life.
He at least has something in his heart in the movie, has his own ideas and rich theories and practices, but he doesn't know much about music.
Perhaps when talking about music, Adrian could talk freely and express a series of pertinent opinions, which would be incompetent when it comes to specific production, writing songs, lyrics, and arrangements.
Even if he doesn't know only a general idea of music like finance, he needs to have self-knowledge, and a guy without self-knowledge cannot accomplish great things.
With this conversation as the basis, Eric Norton was quickly poached, and AC Media's development momentum was getting better and better, so he became a music director at RUN Records with peace of mind.
Although several music producers were poached later, there were no such top-notch as Eric Norton.
However, with RUN Records' current scale, Norton is enough, and the company is still developing, and there will be something that should be.
Girls, there is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear?
After talking to Norton, Adrian immediately came to the lounge next door, where the two girls have been staying here after recording the sound.
Good news!
Bad news!
Sitting on the bench, Britney and Christina called out in no particular order, then looked at each other in surprise, then raised their eyebrows at the same time, and a look of disapproval flashed across each other's faces.
Adrian couldn't help but chuckled in his heart. When he came in just now, he saw two people sitting at both ends of the bench, looking at the magazines in his hands without communicating. This was exactly what he wanted to see.
But now this is not enough to satisfy him, so Adrian deliberately said: OK, let's talk about the good news first.
It was Britney who was just yelling to hear the good news.
Your recordings are excellent, and your efforts have achieved considerable results, so I decided to let you post an EP first to try the waters.Adrian said after sitting down.
Really?The two girls asked in unison, both of them widened their eyes and looked excited.
Of course, you didn’t disappoint me, and naturally I won’t disappoint you either.Adrian spread his hands.
marvelous!Britney and Christina called out together, and hugged each other with excitement.
OK, girls, don't celebrate so quickly, there is bad news.Adrian looked at them playfully.
Well… So what is the bad news?Christina reacted first.
The bad news is that the EP will be released anonymously, with nothing more than necessary production, no planning or publicity.
Adrian said in a plain tone, just to test the waters and see the market response, the results of this EP release will determine the time when you release the album.
The two girls' excitement just now gradually faded. Thinking about it, they thought they could finally become official singers, but they were told that they were just trying the waters. It depends on the situation if they wanted to officially release the album. This cold water was really terrible.
But Britney first reacted: No problem, I will definitely try my best to do the best.
Yes, I will do my best to do it.Christina hurriedly said, but compared to Britney's sincere tone, the depression in her eyes was much more obvious.
This is not surprising. Britney knew very well that she was still young. Even if the EP was well done, she would have to go on for a long time to formally prepare her first album. In addition, she had to train more tenacity in the past year and a half, so she didn't take it too seriously.
Christina is relatively embarrassed. There are also singers who debuted at her age, but not many of them are very popular, so they will inevitably look back and forth.
Then let it go, keep going, don't let your efforts go in vain.
Adrian continued, glanced at the two girls, and then said after they got up: By the way, Christine stayed, I have a few more words to say to you.
Britney immediately looked at Christina, and Christina hummed slightly.
Do I need to repeat what I have said countless times before, Christine?Adrian asked as she looked at her after Britney left and Christina sat back.
No, sir, I have already kept it in my heart.Christina immediately said seriously with her chest out.
Very good, but I still have to say that you and Bubu are both excellent, and my decision to sign you was very correct.
Adrian stared at Christina, you're going to be a little bigger than Bub, so if nothing unexpected happens, the album will definitely be released earlier than her.Although from all aspects of consideration, it is not a good time to be now or next year, I still hope that you can exert 100% of your strength in this EP, even if the final product will be very simple.Eric also admits that your singing skills are the best among informal singers, and some official singers are not as good as you, so don’t let me down this time.
I won't, sir.Christine's eyes brightened a lot, and she could hear something in Adrian's words.
Very good, although Super Boys is the most popular group in the company right now, I believe you can surpass them, right?
Adrian said as he reached out and pinched her chin gently, looking a little condescending.
Yes, I can, sir.
Christina seemed to have no idea what this action meant, and her mind seemed to be completely occupied by this good news. Not only was she excited in her tone, but her breathing was also much faster.
It's not in vain that I've been brainwashing for a year and a half.
After Christina left, Adrian rubbed his fingers and sighed leisurely in his heart.
The younger the person is, the more likely he is to be influenced by others. Even precocious girls like Kirsten or Natalie are inevitably like this, let alone Britney and Christina.
As long as the hint is done concealed enough and the time is long enough, they will inevitably develop in the direction you are looking forward to.
Just like that name, they have long called him Ed during the past year.
But Christina's use of Mr. here does not mean that she wants to keep her distance from him. In fact, Christina always uses this way to show respect when talking to him about serious topics.
It's just like when Adrian and Britney chat in private, Britney always makes herself look cute, intentionally or unintentionally, and always has a little coquettishness in her tone, all to show her difference from the other in front of him.
But there is still a long time to gain.
Adrian thought so, the action just now should be at its current limit.
But so what?
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, it was just a matter of time.
Because there is no office at the record company, Adrian used the current lounge to learn about the situation from several people in charge. After reading some reports and information, he looked at the time. It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was time to leave.
Just as he was walking out of the corridor, he suddenly wanted to go to the previous dance training room on a whim.Anyway, there is still time, so I bend to the left at the next intersection.
At this time, the training should basically be over, and all participants should leave, but when they walked to the door, they could still hear the sound from inside.
Adrian pushed open a gap and looked in, then showed a look of surprise and understanding. Britney was practicing alone in front of the wide mirror!
I did small kicks, big kicks, small bumps, and single-leg squats. I did it meticulously one by one, and after doing it, I took a short rest and started repeating it again.
But she was obviously a little impatient, and she couldn't do some movements well several times, and then she kicked around angrily.
Adrian shrugged as he observed carefully. Seeing that she had not done a good job of bouncing her legs, she angrily kicked out her shoes, walked around the ground with barefoot, and finally sat on the ground with a little depressed look, then she walked in: Why haven't you gone back yet, Bubu?
Ed?!Britney, who was sitting on the ground, jumped up and looked at him nervously and embarrassedly.
Adrian deliberately looked at the shoes in the chamfered corner and looked at her again, then walked up to pick up Britney horizontally. Although the girl was a little panicked, she did not make any struggle.
After carrying Britney to the chair against the wall, Adrian squatted down in front of her, lifted one of her legs and placed it on her thighs, then took out a tissue from her pocket to wipe the soles of her feet.
The itchy feeling from the soles of her feet made the girl giggle. If it weren't for her calf in Adrian's arms, she would have twisted her body long ago, but after laughing, she felt a little embarrassed and her face began to have a slight fever.
Adrian didn't care about these things, and after cleaning both of Britney's feet, he told her not to step on the ground before picking up the shoes that had kicked far away, and then put them on for her in person.
After finishing all this, he sat down next to the girl: Do you often practice alone like this?
Nor... not.Britney said with her head down, her voice as small as a mosquito.
Remember to wear shoes in the future. Don’t walk around barefoot on the cold floor as you do now. It’s easy to catch a cold. Be careful of your body.Adrian then said with advice.
Yes...yes, I get it.The girl's voice finally increased a little, but it was still no higher than the mosquito.
Are you really listening to me, Bubu?Adrian suddenly raised his voice, and Britney immediately raised her head in panic and looked at him: Yes, of course.
Although her eyes were slightly touching, she lowered her eyelids, but the shyness in her eyes was still very obvious, and the faint blush on her face was visible: I heard that you can't walk around the floor barefoot, otherwise you will get sick.
I saw you were very angry before, can you tell me the reason?Adrian didn't bother with this topic anymore.
It's nothing, it's just a little depressed, it'll be fine after a while.Britney whispered, though she lowered her eyelids, Adrian could still see her eyes dripping under her eyelids.
Well, if you don’t want to say it, then forget it, but Bubu, even if you practice more, there are limits. If anything goes too far, it will only make things worse.
He said and patted her head gently.
I promise not to have another next time.The girl immediately said confidently.
Listen to me, Bubu.Adrian pulled Britney over, looking like I wouldn't believe you.
Remember what I have always emphasized?
Adrian looked at her with bright eyes. I said, you are excellent, you have the potential to become a popular singer, I have never missed my eyes, whether it is movies or music.But if you think I just want to create an ordinary popular singer, that's a big mistake. What I want to create is a pop queen who can compete with Madonna, do you understand?
Britney opened her eyes wide, and she had to say that her facial features had grown, and she had become very cute and beautiful.
You mean... you mean... She showed an incredible expression, her hands clenched into fists slightly trembling, her eyes shining, and she was a little expectant and scared.
Fortunately, Adrian immediately gave the answer she wanted: Yes, it's you, Britney Spears from Louisiana, I think you have the potential to be the second Madonna.
Are you... are you serious, Ed?Britney became a little dazed, and for a moment she didn't know where to put her hands and feet, and she was dizzy by the impact of this huge surprise.
Of course, as long as you do what I said, you may not be able to surpass her, but it is absolutely not difficult to reach her level.
Adrian said as he reached out to pinch her chin and looked at her without blinking. He deliberately bit the words as I said, and some of the indoctrination was done in such a silent way.
********************
After learning about the record company and making some arrangements, Adrian immediately said goodbye to Kate, who had a big belly, flew to London, where the entire crew was already waiting for him.
Gwyneth also reported to London the day before he left Los Angeles. I have to say that she is really good at observing the words and expressions. Adrian just revealed it slightly on the phone, and it can be said that he didn't even reveal it. But her tone changed a little, so she estimated that she had something.
Perhaps Gwyneth's guess may be different from reality, but it does not prevent her from saying that she can go to London first, knowing that she originally wanted to go to London with him.
Although it was late April, the craze brought by the Oscars did not completely fade. "Forrest Gump" was about to be offline, but after winning the best movie, it rebounded slightly, and finally won a box office of $360 million in North America.
With Adrian breaking two Oscars in a row, how could the paparazzi let him go?
You know, he just finished a new movie in the UK, and now he is going to start a new movie, as if he is going to repeat the incident in 1992. Why should they let go of such news?
You know, after hyping up the scandal between him and Sophie Marceau, the tabloids attracted a lot of attention.
Although Adrian was on a private plane and the paparazzi couldn't catch him at the airport, he could still achieve his goal when he was on the set. This time, most of the shots were outside the scenes like before.
Therefore, Adrian received a grand welcome when he arrived at the studio.
Mr. Adrian, why do you choose...
Mr. Adrian, the new movie is...
Mr. Adrian, why did you choose one...
All kinds of questions came one after another, basically about the new movie. Adrian kept smiling and said nothing, until he walked to the door of the studio under the surround of the bodyguard and the crew leader, and the reporters could not move forward, he turned his head leisurely: Yes, I started shooting a new movie again, and it was adapted from Ms. Jane Austen's novel "Emma", and an American actress was selected as the heroine. I believe this would be an excellent movie!
not bad.
Eric Norton, who also took off his headphones, savored it before giving an answer. Christina's voice was more ethereal, perhaps it was related to her previous favorite music of the spirit song type.Britney's magnetic voice is also very interesting, and she will definitely like it more.If you only have rap skills, Christina will win the upper half, while Britney will have a lot more and more business value.If there are no other questions, we can conduct the next step of training.
