Chapter 164: The Recording Studio
At the end of the day, everyone walked out of the audition office.
"So, we'll reach out to Joseph?? Gordon's agent, that Matthew McConaughey, was an alternative. β
Wang gradually closed the notebook and said to James: "Determine the final candidate as soon as possible, and the website will cooperate with ABC to promote it." β
"There shouldn't be any problem. James and Wang gradually walked side by side, and suddenly smiled lightly, "After the male protagonist is decided, it is time to interview the heroines." β
"Trust me, you're going to have a really good time. β
Wang gradually glanced at James, who was suddenly obscene, and directly raised his middle finger.
But then, in the parking lot, he encountered something that was enough to refresh the three views.
"Sir, I'm Edmund's agent, can we have dinner together?"
Wang gradually raised his head, and saw a handsome boy with a forced smile standing behind the middle-aged white man who spoke.
shitοΌ
Where does it look like it's crooked?
The agent saw that Wang gradually did not react, and immediately added, "Edmund also has a girlfriend, and they can also be together." β
You...
This...
"Sorry, not interested. Wang gradually started the car directly and drove to the apartment.
"People in the entertainment industry really have no lower limit!"
Are you the kind of man who gets into his brain when he sees a woman?
The only thing that can make you desperate is the green dollar!
When he returned to the apartment, Wang gradually read Apple's email again and called Tom.
"Fax me a copy of the relevant materials for the audio version of "Friends". β
With a "squeak" sound, he quickly got what he needed.
I have to say that "Friends" is the most successful TV series in the United States today.
In addition to completely crushing the TV dramas of the same era in traditional fields such as sponsorship fees and licensing fees, it has also opened up a new profit channel.
"The audio version of "Friends" has actually become a tool for many people to learn English and talk shows?" Wang gradually took the fax and studied it carefully.
"Then if "Anomaly" can explode..."
Wang gradually calculated quickly in his heart that the audio version of the TV series as a derivative could only get 5% of the income.
and the audio version of "Anomaly", you can get 50%.
The most critical problem is that because the audio version and the text version are not updated in sync, maybe there is audio, and it can still attract some readers to the website!
As for the problem that the speed of audio updates is much faster than that of film and television drama production, it may slightly affect the ratings of TV dramas.
Anyway, I have already received the authorization fee, so I can use it to manage the life and death of ABC?
The meaning of business partner is that business always comes before partners!
Wang gradually thought about it, and called Tom again.
"Has the recording studio promised by Apple Computer been completed?"
"Yes. Tom's voice came from the phone, "Tim?? Cook contacted us and said we were always welcome to visit. β
For various reasons, ABC's work progress is far faster than that of ordinary film and television drama production.
Then considering the preconceived influence, if you want to reap greater benefits, you have to speed up the production of the audio version.
"Make an appointment with each other, and we'll visit tomorrow. β
Wang gradually thought about it, and added: "By the way, inquire about the launch time of the Apple computer audio player." β
"Understood. β
When Tom hung up the phone, Wang gradually rubbed the corners of his forehead and turned on the TV.
The busyness of this day really made him feel a little exhausted.
"Is this Everybody Loves Raymond?'s imaginary enemy for Anomaly?"
Wang gradually looked at it a little, "Well, the heroine is still very beautiful." β
......
The next morning, Wang gradually met Tom, Tim?? Accompanied by Cook, he was taking the elevator to the floor where the studio was located.
"There are more than ten music production companies in such a building?" he said a little speechlessly, looking at the elevator sign.
"Huh. "Tim?? Cook smiled, "In New York, there are more singers and vagabonds, and it's hard for even the police chief to tell." β
"But Mr. Wang, don't worry. Apple computer has upgraded the original recording equipment according to the recording requirements. β
"Our recording studio is more suitable for audiobooks than ever before. β
"Wait a minute, Mr. Wang can try it himself. β
When the elevator opened, everyone walked into the recording studio.
Cook coughed and looked at the staff, "Is it all set?"
"It's over. β
"Let's get started. β
At Cook's suggestion, Wang gradually picked up the headphones, ready to see what tricks high-tech companies could play across the border.
But after a few minutes, he looked at Tim with a little confusion?? Cook.
It's completely silent!
"What's going on?" Cook also noticed that something was wrong, and asked loudly at the staff.
"Uh," one of the staff members muttered, "we were so focused on debugging the equipment that we forgot to prepare the CD." β
Wang and Tom looked at each other and almost laughed.
However, he immediately frowned, he didn't have time to stay here.
"Isn't this just a CD?" Wang gradually pointed to the corner of the recording studio, where a pile of miscellaneous items was piled up.
The staff glanced over there, "That's something left over from the old music production company." β
"It doesn't matter," Wang gradually shrugged, "I just want to see how these devices are different from music recording equipment." β
Cook hesitated, but nodded, "Just use that disc." β
A moment later, with the sound coming from the earphones, Wang Yan's brows furrowed.
This disc is a typical gangster rap, to the effect of: I have money, I have chicks, I am the best...
He took off his headphones and handed them to Tom.
"It's true that the music is much quieter and more vocal than not. Wang gradually looked at Cook, "So, when can we start recording?"
"Right now. Cook replied, "Apple will launch an audio player on St. Patrick's Day." β
"Before that, we would record 10 hours of content for a presentation of the product launch. β
Wang gradually calculated in his heart and felt that the time was just right.
"Then I wish us a happy cooperation. He reached out and shook Cook's hand.
"Tom, take out the audio license file for Anomaly and give it to Mr. Cook. β
But after waiting for a while, Wang gradually did not see Tom make any moves.
He turned his head to look at the other man, only to see Tom listening intently with headphones.
Is he still a gangster music enthusiast?
Wang smiled apologetically at Cook, and then patted Tom on the shoulder.
Tom turned his head to look at Wang, "Wang, have you ever considered using a rap that can summarize the content to attract more young people?"
