Chapter 649: The Female Devil
"Miranda?"
Lin Qirong was stunned for a moment, last night he already knew that the agent of Liz and the other three was Miranda, and the entire United States has a gold medal agent with good influence, and has the status of a godmother in the entertainment industry, because of her decisive means, she is called the female devil.
Therefore, no one dares to mess with the Liz three.
But what's the matter with this female devil wanting to see herself?
Liz seemed to know his doubts and explained to him, "Miranda loves Shirley very much, and I hope to see you after knowing what happened yesterday, it should be fine, Miranda has a good temper." ”
Lin Qirong is naturally not afraid of this, he has a clear conscience, even if he is a female devil, there is no need to be afraid.
And he also has some curiosity about this gold medal agent known as the female devil, and maybe he will gain something when he meets.
"I see, where to meet?"
Liz said an address where Miranda would meet with Lin in her private studio.
Lin Qirong thanked Liz, hung up the phone, thought about it carefully, and then got up and went out to Miranda Studio in downtown Los Angeles.
Liz welcomed him in at the door, led him to an office door, knocked on the door, and waited until a "come in" sound came from inside before pushing the door open and entering.
As soon as she walked in, Lin Qirong saw that behind the wide desk, a short-haired woman was bowing her head to sign a document, some gray hair was well managed, and she looked very energetic.
This is Miranda, the female devil.
"Miranda, I brought Lin. Liz laughed and said to Miranda.
Miranda nodded, her sharp eyes fell on Lin Qirong's body, and after a while, she nodded to Liz, "You go out." ”
Liz glanced at Lin Qirong with some concern before turning around and pulling the door out.
"Sit down. Miranda gestured.
"Thank you. Lin Qirong nodded with her and sat down on the chair opposite her.
Miranda didn't speak immediately, just crossed her hands on her chin and looked at Lin Qirong quietly, a pair of sharp eyes made Lin Qirong feel like he was on pins and needles.
Is this the female devil? Sure enough, she is a veritable strong woman, and it is estimated that few people can get hard in front of her.
Fortunately, he is not an ordinary person, he has the experience of being a human being in two lives, he has performed on countless stages, and he controls the huge Tonghua Group, and he can talk happily with giants such as Ma Chang and Luo Jiaze.
Therefore, in front of Miranda's gaze, he was still able to maintain a calm look, and he was not in a hurry to speak, allowing Miranda to examine himself.
The atmosphere in the office suddenly became solemn.
After a long time, the look on Miranda's face softened, "Today, I have heard your name many times. ”
She raised her right hand and crossed her fingers and said, "Shirley squeaked and told me about you several times early in the morning, then Liz and Alyssa told me about you, and finally my secretary and I reported about your investigation.
I really want to see what kind of person you really are. ”
Lin Qirong smiled slightly, "That's why I came over." ”
"How does it feel?"
"Being able to train Liz and them so well is really a veritable strong woman. ”
Miranda asked curiously, "Isn't it the devil?"
Lin Qirong said with a smile, "For other companies and people in the entertainment industry, maybe you are the female devil, but I think in the hearts of Shirley, you should be the most trustworthy person, I am just their friend, there is no conflict of interest between them, so I naturally think that you are an excellent agent." ”
"Friends?" Miranda nodded, "Different positions, different points of view, you can see it clearly." ”
"Thank you for the compliment, this has always been something I am proud of, I like to make friends, I like everyone to work together for a win-win situation. ”
"It's a great hobby. Miranda said, "Actually, I have never interfered with Liz's private life, although there are certain requirements, but if they insist on doing something, I will not force them to do what I want."
They are adults and should be responsible for the choices they make, and the same goes for making friends. ”
"That's really great, I'm sure Liz and they're having a great time under your banner. Lin Qirong said with a smile.
He has studied the entertainment industry in the United States, and the management of artists by entertainment companies is indeed not as strict as that of Huaxia, not to mention that artists are almost treated as slaves like South Korea and Neon.
The affairs of artists are strictly divided into public affairs and private affairs, and the company has strict regulations for official affairs such as performances and endorsements, and artists must strictly abide by them.
But in addition, artists have their own control over their own private affairs, and the company does not have too many regulations, and the management is not strict.
After all, this is a country that advocates individuality and freedom, and if artists want to let go of themselves or even be willing to degenerate, the company will also be indifferent and will not interfere too much.
It's just that when your work is affected by your private life, or even your fame declines and you have no value, the company will not hesitate to terminate the contract with you, kick you away, and then turn around and go to another artist.
Everything is cold business.
Therefore, in the United States, the private life of artists is very free, as long as it does not affect their work.
People are not as crazy as people chasing stars in places like China and South Korea, most people like the charm of artists and their works, and respect their private lives.
All kinds of scandals and entertainment news are just spices in people's lives, and they will not affect their perception of the artists themselves, unless they do something that violates the principles.
So Miranda said this, and Lin Qirong believed it.
And Miranda is a very short-term agent, and has terrifying network resources in the entertainment industry, Liz, Alyssa and others must be living a very nourishing life under her.
The corners of Miranda's mouth curled slightly, "Liz and Alyssa, I'm not worried, but Shirley is different, I don't allow anyone to hurt her." ”
Lin Qirong nodded slowly, "I understand your thoughts, Shirley is indeed too simple, without your protection, it is easy to have problems in this entertainment industry." ”
"It's not all. Miranda said calmly, "Liz and Alyssa I can see their future, as long as they don't make big mistakes, with my ability, I will definitely be able to make them stand on the front line and become world-class singers."
Maybe they'll be popular for a while because of a song or two.
But that's the upper limit of them, if they want to go one step further to become one of the best singers in the world, they still need one thing, this kind of thing is called talent, or spirituality. ”
Lin Qirong looked at her in surprise.
"You are also a singer, I think you should understand that for singers, singing skills, skills, and hard work are very important, but they are not the most important, these can only determine your lower limit, what really determines your upper limit is talent, musicality and spirituality. ”
Miranda continued.
"A talented singer who can find the style that suits him best, who can tailor songs for himself, who can blend in with the songs, and even create a whole new style, just like Michael, Donashiau, Gillian, Jennifer, just like them.
This is talent, the rarest and most important thing as a singer, the thing that determines how far she can go and what height she can reach. ”
The people mentioned by Miranda have all left their own unique marks on the music scene all over the world, and they can be said to be unique in their time, and the veritable kings and queens are still remembered no matter how many years have passed.
I didn't expect Miranda to have such expectations for Shirley, but if Shirley does have such talent and talent, if she can grow up smoothly, the future is indeed limitless.
Just like the superstar in the previous life, spanning the three styles of country, pop, and rock, the new song rushed to the top of the Billboard as soon as it came out, and the Grammy trophy was soft, and it was common to appear on the cover of "Time".
He nodded, "Shirley is indeed talented, and your expectations for her are likely to come true in the future." ”
"So I won't allow anyone to influence Shirley's development, and whoever it is, I'll not hesitate to stop it." ”
Lin Qirong fell silent, Miranda was expressing her dissatisfaction with herself, because of herself, Shirley may have shown other feelings other than music for the first time, such as attachment.
This should have made Miranda feel threatened, thinking that she might influence her development?
He smiled wryly, "Would you believe me if I said that I just took Shirley yesterday as the object I wanted to protect?"
Miranda looked at him.
Lin Qirong said, "I have a daughter, who is seven years old this year, named Tongtong. She is very well-behaved and talented at the piano, and just won the gold medal in the junior category of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition some time ago. ”
"I seem to have heard about it, your daughter is very good. ”
"Yes, she is my pride. Lin Qirong said with a smile, "I also have a very beautiful and gentle girlfriend, and she will be my wife in the future." So I said I didn't have any idea about Shirley, I just thought she was a bit like Tongtong, and then I just wanted to fulfill her wish so that she could actually do what she wanted to do, would you think I was lying?"
Miranda looked at him for a moment, the expression on her face softened, and nodded, "I'm sure, because if you had any other ideas, Shirley wouldn't be so close to you, I'm sure of that." ”
"So, you just think I shouldn't be guiding Shirley to do what she loves, right?"
Miranda shook her head, "Actually, I don't blame you, I just need an explanation, a reason that can convince me." ”
