Chapter 248: Before the Annual Meeting

On the 5th of December, the Hotel Platz in the town of Megan, the Liszt Family Hotel in the town of Witznau, and the ChΓ’teau Gucci on the top of a hill in Lucerne were reserved by Jonas as the accommodation of the partners.

Snow fell again in the sky on this day, adding to the scenery of this beautiful ancient city.

The three airports around Lucerne, including Zurich, are all busy.

Private jets from all over the world filled up the seats at several airports, and later planes had to park at other smaller airports and Geneva airports.

Hoffman has 430 partners, accounting for almost one-half of the interest groups.

However, due to the impressive returns of last year, even the partners who did not invest in Hoffmann have now expressed their desire to participate in the partners' meeting through Ursula.

It would be irrational to reject any of them, but if each one was not restricted, Hoffman Investment Bank would not have such a large capacity to receive it.

As a last resort, Hoffman Investment Bank can only impose personnel restrictions. Those multinational corporations, mining groups, governments cannot be represented by more than five people, and private partners cannot be more than four.

The list of customers has reached 702, with nearly 3,000 employees.

Every one of them is a famous person, and if they stomp their feet, the world's economy will shake three times.

The annual meeting takes place at the Lucerne Music and Congress Centre, where the largest concert hall can seat 1,800 people, while the rest of the entourage can only be seated in the conference hall and the small concert hall.

The four halls can share the audiovisual sound of the main hall, but they can't make suggestions and speeches on the spot.

(The information of the old conference center is no longer available, and it is designed according to the size of the new hall in '98.) οΌ‰

Ursula divided them into three groups according to their different identities, the multinational company stayed at the Hotel Platz, the royal family and the head of government arranged to stay at the ChΓ’teau Gucci, and the personal representative stayed at the four-star Liszt Hotel of the Paller family.

Although there is a bit of a conflict between the two families of Liszt and Hoffmann, due to the good relationship between Jonas and Paler, the two families are not unconnected now.

Jonas had also borrowed money from her mom and dad, and they had a good relationship.

Teresa arrived in Lucerne as the only guest singer, but instead of staying at the hotel, she stayed at Dinah's house.

Jonas 5 was busy receiving guests from all over the world almost all day, and he ignored the multinational corporations, and he greeted the heads of government and royal representatives of the world.

It wasn't until ten o'clock in the evening that he left the Gucci Castle Hotel, and at the end of the day, he was really tired of saying different things to different guests.

"Jonas, are you going home now?"

"No, a trip to the Rosengart family. ”

At Dinah's house, a group of Jonas high school classmates are still dancing, and after graduating from high school, it is rare to get together, and everyone values the opportunity to get together.

When Teresa saw Jonas coming, she put her arms around him and took a seat beside him.

Seeing Neuer's brother Rolf's eyes staring at Theresa, Jonas could only push Teresa away with a dry smile. "Stop messing around. ”

Theresa feigned sadness and said, "You don't love me anymore." ”

"I don't seem to love you at all, I just like you. ”

"Well, I knew you were a ruthless guy. You said you should compensate me?"

"I've written you all six songs......"

"In the last three months, I haven't written a single one. ”

"I'm too busy to have the time or inspiration. ”

"Well, I'll let you go. As compensation, shouldn't you stay at Dinah's house tonight......"

Jonas would love to stay and relive his dream with his ex-lover who has become a world-class star. But if he stays here tonight, Rolf will probably have to bring his semi-automatic rifle with him.

"I'll write you another song, a song that will make you more than Madonna. ”

Madonna, who has only released two studio records, will not become the No. 1 female singer until 87, when her third album "T Milk eBlue" comes out next year.

Theresa's first album has now sold more than 10 million, surpassing Madonna's two albums.

Several songs in it have become golden songs, especially "See Lure Again", which has become a phenomenal song.

However, more people believe that it is because of her dad than because of her.

Now the media often compares her to Madonna, thinking that she is seven years younger than Madonna and prettier than Madonna. But on the typhoon, it can't compare to Madonna's sexiness and changeability.

Theresa, who has a personality and does not please fans, can only be said to be on par with Madonna in terms of popularity.

Theresa scoffed. "You can't outdo her in one song, unless every song on an album surpasses her. ”

Jonas covered his forehead. "Kill me. ”

Rolf walked over. "Jonas, are you hungry? I see you didn't eat anything at all for dinner. ”

"Not hungry at all, of course, if there is a cup of coffee, a little snack is even better. ”

He nodded and beckoned to the attendant at the wall. "What are you talking about?"

Jonas said casually, "I'm talking about a plan to get her ahead of Madonna." ”

Rolf glanced at Theresa and said exaggeratedly, "Wow, that's a big plan." ”

Teresa laughed: "But Jonas has this talent, I can now become a world-class singer, and he has played an important role. ”

"Yes, I want to hear it too, okay?"

Jonas glanced at the meaningful Rolf, and then at the little fox-like Teresa, and then realized that he had made a mistake and dug himself a big hole.

The waiter came, and Jonas said, "Bring me a cup of coffee, a snack, and send it to the living room on the second floor." I'm so tired today, I might as well go upstairs and relax for a while. ”

Rolf just stood in his sister's shoes, afraid that Jonas would get entangled with Theresa, but Theresa became excited, knowing that Jonas was really going to come out with some dry goods.

She knows that Jonas is very talented, and the six songs he gave her, each of which is a best-selling hit, is relying on these six songs, and now the sales have exceeded 10 million, and they are still climbing at a rate of more than 500,000 copies every month.

According to estimates, the sales of her album will exceed 15 million copies, and 20 million copies are also possible.

It's a pity that this guy is too lazy to take her development to heart.

If she writes a few more songs, no one can compete with her among female singers, not even the coquettish Madonna.

The second floor is not empty, and Dinah's brother Sheffield is playing a killing game with a group of young people.

Jonas came to the piano and attracted Dinah and the girls to run over.

Jonas did not play the piano, but Yaxing, waited for Theresa to move a stool and sit down, and said, "The song was born for inspiration. On the flight back to Europe from China, I suddenly had a little inspiration, but the song had not yet taken shape. ”

Theresa said, "I'll listen to a melody first......"

The crowd applauded, but Jonas refused, pondered for a moment, and began to play.

It's only half a song, and I can't hear anything. However, Teresa was more musically literate, and she did not shy away from sitting next to Jonas and playing a short melody.

After playing three times on different scales, she turned her head and asked, "C minor should be the most appropriate, but what about the beat?"

"Once and a half per second. ”

That's ninety times a minute. ”

"The melody is a pop saliva song, but the beat is a little fast, do you want to write me a dance song?"

"I've almost written the lyrics, and I've almost written the melody, but for the rhythm, I have to find a good arranger. ”

"What's your name?"

"The first confession of love. ”

The song "First Confession of Love" is the title song of Britney's first album, and it is also the most important work she has come out of nowhere, after she went from a third-rate singer to world pop music.

Before this song, she was just a small member of the disbanded Mickey Club, but this song quickly made her a national idol.

This song swept the hearts of boys and girls all over the world with precise positioning, and the simple lyrics and arrangement, bubblegum-like melody like pop music, is actually a saliva song.

However, the significance of this song to pop music is far more than the significance of a "champion single", and the emergence of this song can be said to have led to the prosperity of the entire TeenPop.

It was the turn of the century years, in the era of the gradual decline of rock and roll, and the appearance of this song became a milestone.

For a long period of time, girl idols from all over the world all have the taste of Britney's sweetness, and without this taste, all other girl idols will not succeed.

Jonas is not a god, and he is not a professional music singer, so he didn't think about the song at all.

However, on the plane back from Huaxia, because he was in a happy mood, he unconsciously hummed a few words of the lyrics, and Mikilos immediately asked him what song it was, which was very good, and he recalled the song carefully.

Jonas picked up a piece of snack, ate it, took another sip of coffee, and said, "This song is not finished yet, so I don't want to mention it for now, I have an idea, a suggestion, which should help you in your singing career." ”

There were classmates and friends, and no one else wanted to be a singer except Teresa.

So, Teresa looked around and said without hesitation, "I've always taken your advice seriously. ”

Jonas thought for a while and said, "You can't learn the coquettish and sexy character that Madonna sells on stage, and you don't need to learn it." Over the past few decades, almost every type of singer has appeared, but every singer is desperate to show his or her own personality, whether it's sexy, naΓ―ve, cold, or crazy, right?"

Theresa nodded and said, "That's true, I'm a little cold, but because of my age, I also sometimes pretend to be naΓ―ve. ”

"My advice is to interpret each song as if it were an opera and become an actor-type singer," Jonas said. ”

Everyone didn't understand, and Dinah asked, "Do you sing songs like operas?"

Jonas shook his head and said, "Just like Jackson's music video, make up an emotion, a story framework for each of your songs, and when you sing the songs, you have to follow the emotions of the songs and interpret the emotions." ”

Theresa pondered for a moment and said, "It seems easy, but it's hard. Everyone gets nervous when they go on stage, and when they're on stage, each performer's first consideration is to sing perfectly, and then the typhoon. ”

"What you have to do is to leave yourself behind, set a switch between you as a person and the song, and when the music starts, you go straight into the world of music, and use movements, expressions, and singing to perform a song together. ”

"Yes, that's why I said it's hard, and I'll think about it. That's your advice, but what do you think?"

Rolf saw that Jonas and Theresa were really talking about music, and with so many people here, he didn't have to guard against his sister, so he felt bored.

Jonas said: "You have a wide vocal range, whether it's bass or treble, you can handle it perfectly, so are you interested in breaking through your genre?"

"Do you mean, think try every genre from pop rock, to blues, to blues, to heavy metal?"

Jonas smiled and said, "No, I mean you try to weave different types of music into one song. For example, it started with opera, then it went into rap, then it went into rock, and finally it went back to opera. ”

Everyone's eyes widened, and Theresa exclaimed, "This is crazy!"

"But it's funny, isn't it?"

They talked about it, thinking that such an arrangement might make a mess of a song, and it would be difficult to shine.

However, at this time, Jonas remembered the musical genius of later generations.

Chinese singers are marginal roles in the world music scene, and no matter how good a singer is in the Chinese-speaking world, they will not be recognized by the English-speaking world.

Whether it is from Teresa Teng or Zhang Xueyou, they are not liked by the English-speaking world.

They just went to a concert in a foreign country, and the target group was still Chinese.

More Chinese singers are just regarded as typical studies by English singers and cannot enter the mainstream world.

But after 2018, because the "Singer" program invited Jesse J, this show was noticed in the UK, but Jesse J did not have a fire, it was a fire.

Before 2018, Jonas didn't know who Flowey was, and he barely paid attention to the talent show before. But after 2018, young people in Britain frantically worshipped Huahua, and when they knew that Jonas was Chinese, they talked to him about Huahua.

A Chinese person, through the Internet, has almost become a national idol in the UK.

Everyone can find the shining point from Huahua, and YouTube has dozens of comments on Huahua's performance by professionals every day.

Jonas also likes Flowey, not only because of his good voice, but also because he can handle high and low bass falsetto with ease.

is also because of his genius arranging ability to integrate different musical styles, which is also his most praised point on YouTube, and even many Westerners think that he is already a grandmaster who has created a genre.

Theresa pondered for a moment before saying, "Maybe you can try it." ”

"Okay, I'll give you a new song before the New Year, now, let me relax for a while, okay?"

(Khan, I accidentally wrote so much, I forgot it for the first time, and I wrote more than 4,000 words at once, and I kept chapters.) οΌ‰
