Chapter 151: Buyout?

Rather than simply replacing it, now this personality is more like a fusion of two people.

Chen Linzhi received "herself" memories and spoke in a completely Californian accent, with only a few hours of driving between northern and southern California, and almost no difference in accent.

He has a good timbre, he hasn't been out of tune yet, and in addition to the lack of some commitment and emotion today, the audition process went relatively smoothly.

When asked how many songs he had written, Chen Linzhi tried to sing eight songs, completely calming down everyone, including Jenny Campbell.

Only Anastasia, who had listened to him singing beforehand, could feel that Chen Linzhi was missing a little bit of state in singing today, and helped explain that he had been driving for a long time, and he was a little nervous.

Several people in charge of the recording work had disbelief written on their faces.

It's not that I think Chen Linzhi sings well, mainly based on their experience, it is enough to find that they are all new songs with fire potential, which can be used as title tracks in other albums.

The English songs that can be found by Chen Linzhi from the list are all the essence left after layers of screening, otherwise they will be transmitted to the other side.

It doesn't matter whether it's the West or the East, people's pursuit of good music is much the same.

Today, he sang so many good songs at one time, and a recording engineer couldn't hold back on the spot, so he asked Chen Linzhi to sing the song "Becauseofyou" again in sections, and he temporarily dubbed it and wrote a tune according to the beat.

After Miss Jenny Campbell came out of the recording studio, there was a little admiration in her eyes, and she asked in a puzzled tone: "Others always think of the tune first, and then fill in the lyrics according to the accompaniment, why do you only sing but have no accompaniment?"

Regarding this kind of problem, Chen Linzhi expected it, and drank saliva and said nonsense: "When I was young, I was relatively poor, and I couldn't afford to buy a good guitar or other musical instruments. I've never studied music seriously, but the tune seems to come to my head and come out naturally, maybe I'm a genius like Beethoven?"

Seeing him so brazen and boastful, he swallowed all the praise that everyone came to his lips at once.

Jenny Campbell subconsciously thought that Chen Linzhi had an arrogant personality, and her little favor dissipated again, so she shrugged her shoulders slightly and said: "Maybe, you guys are waiting for me here for a few minutes, and I'll take the tape just now to my boss, and it is estimated that there will be results soon, and we will have a meal together at noon? It's almost time to get off work." ”

The latter sentence is addressed to Anastasia.

Anastasia rarely met an old friend, and immediately agreed excitedly, and then praised Chen Linzhi with a thumbs up.

Chen Linzhi doesn't care about this, in the final analysis, it is still a song that is "picked up" casually, and it is difficult to have a sense of achievement.

It's right to be thick-skinned, but it's not completely shameless, and it's best to distinguish clearly.

It's normal for him to sing these songs, and it's strange that he is not popular.

Compared with English songs, Mandarin and Cantonese songs are Chen Linzhi's best categories, and he remembers more songs.

There are also some foreign songs, such as "Lemon" in Japanese and "Despacito" in Spanish, which he has listened to countless times, and he still remembers the tune clearly.

So much so that Chen Linzhi began to think that one day when he couldn't get along in the business world, it seemed more feasible to develop and develop in Asia, at least he wouldn't live on the streets.

......

A simple audition.

At noon, in the Universal Music Company restaurant, Anastasia and Jenny Campbell ate and chatted, and Chen Linzhi looked around.

Occasionally, I see some eclectic and bullish guys, and I don't have to guess that I know that it should be some famous singers, band members, and the like.

Chen Linzhi doesn't know much about the American music industry in this era, rarely watches movies, and is even more lazy to listen to songs.

Hollywood's Jennifer Connelly, Diane Lane, Brooke Smalls, and Phoebe Cates can make Chen Linzhi feel beautiful, and France also has Isabelle Adjani and Sophie Marceau.

can only say that doing one line and loving one line, Chen Linzhi has discussed with James Newman when he has nothing to do, and he feels that even if he can possess one, it is enough to reminisce for decades.

Anastasia is certainly beautiful, but she is not a big star after all, and she lacks some halo.

Speaking of female stars, Chen Linzhi remembers going to Hong Kong City for the first time and met Li Xin at dinner.

If they meet again in the future, he will no longer be stupid enough to just "tell a fortune" to the other party, he was too simple earlier.

The two of them chatted, and Chen Linzhi was eating and thinking about things in a mess.

Jenny Campbell lowered her voice at the moment and said to them:

"Just now I sent the audition tape to my boss's office and praised it so badly that he could listen to it on the spot. Later, he actually listened to it not just once, but twice in a row, which shows that he has begun to be interested in Chen's songs.

I didn't reply, but I think it's okay, maybe you will find it interesting to listen to the songs, we people deal with countless songs, singers, and bands every day, and if we don't come across really good songs, no one wants to waste time listening to them twice. ”

Anastasia was pleasantly surprised, "Really, wow, thank you so much, Chen!

Chen Linzhi was noncommittal, and asked Anastasia instead: "By the way, I haven't heard you sing, how about you sing, why don't I send you a few songs, let's record together?"

Hearing this, Anastasia laughed awkwardly.

Jenny Campbell next to her laughed wildly, and said to her face: "I suggest you don't expect it, I heard her sing, and I was thinking why Anastasia is so beautiful, but her singing is so bad that she can never keep up with the rhythm!"

Anastasia was speechless and said bitterly: "This is because of genetics, my parents can't sing, when I was a child, they planned to let me practice the piano, and then went to study in other cities, and finally failed." ”

Chen Linzhi likes to hear these things.

Anastasia didn't even want to go to the bathroom in front of him, how could she be idle and expose her shortcomings, like other girls, she was quite careful about her own image.

The meal lasted more than an hour, and it wasn't until a secretary came to them that they went to Jenny Campbell's boss's office.

Being able to be in charge of finding new talents at Universal Music's headquarters naturally has some real skills, and it is said that this director Andre worked with the Eagles in his early years and served as an agent for several months.

Chen Linzhi subconsciously thought that the other party wanted to sign him, and even thought about how to refuse, but the middle-aged man with "Andre Brolin" written on the name plate said excitedly after seeing him:

"I'll tell you the good news, I just called Michael Jackson and played the tape to him, and he picked the song "Becauseofyou" and offered to buy it for $30,000......"
