In the rehearsal room, Liao Liao was wearing headphones, humming something while walking in the Shinto land, when Sun Meimei suddenly pushed the door in.

She even put her steps gently, but Liao Liao seemed to be very engaged in practicing singing, but in fact, she was quite uneasy, and as soon as Sun Meimei pushed the door, she immediately looked over.

Sun Meimei smiled when she saw this and asked her, "How are you doing, baby?"

Liao Liao's shoulders collapsed exaggeratedly suddenly, "He said let me find my own style, saying that I have several places where the transposition is not beautiful enough, so, ahh......h

When Sun Meimei saw her coming, she had already hurriedly raised her arm, "Hey, hey, baby, be careful! soup, soup!"

Liao Liao subconsciously turned his head, only then did he notice the thermos cup that Sun Meimei was carrying in her hand, her nose inhaled, and she suddenly became excited.

Sun Meimei smiled, walked to the rest area with a thermos cup, put it down, and unscrewed the lid, "Look, authentic chicken soup, Sun's ancestral soup cooking method! I specially went to Chinatown to buy the ingredients, absolutely authentic!"

Not to mention, the chicken soup in the thermos cup has been boiled into pure white, and there is almost no oil, at this time, as soon as the lid is opened, the rich fragrance suddenly floats out, and at this moment, Liao Liao is about to flow out.

"Sister, you are really my own sister!"

Liao Liao quickly went over and sat down obediently, his eyes were not willing to leave the thermos cup, and he watched Sun Meimei take a small bowl for her, and even took the chopsticks together, afraid of the heat, she blew it carefully a few times, and then took a sip, the chicken soup, the entrance was tender and smooth, and she suddenly showed an expression that the whole person was about to melt!

"It's delicious!" she muttered.

…………

Five minutes later, Liao Liao sat cross-legged on the sofa very unvividly, holding a small bowl in his hand, and complained while eating chicken, "You don't know, the food cooked by Americans is so unpalatable! It turns out that in China, I occasionally go to eat a Western meal, and I think the steak is quite good, but that thing can't be eaten all the time, the hot dog is too calorical, and I don't dare to eat it, and the result is ...... Oh my gosh, that toast bread really tastes ...... It makes you feel like you have nothing to love! Really, you have nothing to love!"

Sun Meimei smiled and asked, "Doesn't he know how to cook?

We took a taxi to Chinatown to buy our domestic induction cooker, and we smoked people's hotel suites with just one meal or two dishes...... Well, you don't know, anyway, when the waiter went to clean the room, he smelled the smell in the house, and his face turned white, and he thought there was a fire in the house, and then, we had to eat instant noodles, and the taste was still a little smaller. ”

Sun Meimei couldn't help but laugh when she imagined Li Qian's appearance when she stir-fried the food and the reaction of the hotel staff.

If it is said that after coming to the United States for so many days, what touches Liao Liao the most is definitely not the happiness of the American people, or the development of the American music industry, or anything else, but definitely the American food is too unpalatable!

Western diet, Chinese eat a few meals occasionally, all should taste fresh, eat every day, that is really unbearable! Not to mention that even in China, Liao Liao and Li Qian are not people who prefer to eat Western food.

Of course, Los Angeles is not without Chinese restaurants, and there are even a few, but most of them are tastes that have been improved according to the preferences of Americans, even if it is Chinatown, it is mostly the taste of Guangdong and Fujian, which is sweet, greasy and fishy.

Xie Mingyuan is okay, he is used to staying abroad, and he has long adapted to the way of eating Western food, and he is very happy, but Li Qian and Liao Liao have not eaten American food for a few days, and their mouths have begun to bubble.

Therefore, rather than saying that Li Qian brought Sun Meimei over, he asked her to be Liao Liao's personal assistant or special assistant in Europe and the United States, or to call the manager according to the American term, Liao Liao understands that it is more appropriate to say that she came here to be a nanny.

Sun Meimei's cooking skills are quite praised, and she has a greater sense of accomplishment than letting her continue to stay in China and be completely suppressed by Zou Wenhuai from all aspects for Liao Liao to suddenly jump out of the country and preside over the brokerage affairs of Europe and the United States, so Li Qian said, she quickly nodded and agreed, and then, on the second day after coming to Los Angeles, she went out to rent an apartment that was not too big.

Don't even think about it, every day for dinner, Li Qian and Liao Liao will inevitably go over to eat.

…………

Liao Liao killed more than half of the chicken soup in a large thermos cup, and suddenly felt that after eating only half a piece of bread at noon, the resentment of "I will starve to death here" was gone.

Sun Meimei simply cleaned up, and she was not in a hurry to leave, so she chatted with her, "Your boss just doesn't care about you like this?

As soon as this was mentioned, Liao Liao sat on the sofa again, looking like a second person who was about to cry, sighed deeply, and said like a complaining woman: "What else can I do, play, play everywhere!" Every night when I go back, I tell her that I think I have made progress wherever I am today, and people will snort twice, and then show me - look, where and where I took it today, is it beautiful?"

Sun Meimei burst out laughing, "Really......? Isn't he supposed to instruct you at this time?"

Liao Liao sighed, grabbed the songbook that was thrown on the sofa just now, shook it, and said: "It's me who died, I said, it's absolutely no problem for me to sing English songs, you don't need your guidance, you can rest assured to play......! He's really going to play on his own!"

Sun Meimei shrugged, a smile on the corner of her mouth.

I don't know if it's because I've been holding back in the United States for so many days, but recently Liao Liao has a tendency to turn into a chatter, and finally caught someone who can chat, so he died and said, this will be Sun Meimei's stubble, and even packed up her things, making a look like she was leaving, but she grabbed people, "Don't be in such a hurry to go, chat with me for a while!"

Sun Meimei shook her head helplessly, put down her things, and said: "It's no problem for me to chat with you, but you have to practice singing, baby, time is very tight, I heard Mr. Xie say that it seems that Rolling Stone is going to arrange this album to be released on the first day of the contract, and to grab a little more market with the soundtrack of that movie, do you calculate, how long do you have to practice singing?"

Liao Liao let go of her hand when she heard this, and sighed again, this time she could see that she didn't seem to be pretending, but sighed from the bottom of her heart, "After I came, I didn't take it seriously at first, I came to travel, and then I understood what he meant, and I felt that the pressure on my body suddenly became so great......"

Sun Meimei thought about it, smiled and hugged her shoulders, and said: "He thinks the opportunity is right, so he wants to push you internationally, think about it, Sister Runqing, Zhou Yan, they all want this opportunity and can't get it! With this kind of opportunity, the first thing he thinks of is you, right?"

Liao Liao glanced back at her, his eyes gradually brightened a lot, and he said with a little smugness: "That's right!"

…………

In mid-March, Li Qian had already submitted the songbook of all ten songs needed for the entire album, along with the arrangements he had made, to Rolling Stone Records.

So then, under the green light of Rolling Stone Records, the recording of this album immediately accelerated.

However, Liao Liao is not the kind of person who grew up in a Western music atmosphere since she was a child, although when she grew up, she also liked to listen to some European and American records, and sang in private, but her singing style is still Oriental in the final analysis.

Soul music and country, she can handle it quite well, but she can't handle the R&B style well, and she can't always find a more mellow way to deal with it, especially the transposition, she tends to deal with it relatively stiffly.

However, there is no good solution to this, you can only listen to it a lot, and then sing it a lot.

And in this regard, Li Qian's level is honest, and it is not much better than her, he can listen to it, he can hear how Liao Liao sings with one ear, and where the shortcomings are, but let him teach, he really feels that he has not much to teach.

Therefore, everything depends on Liao Liao himself.

But fortunately, at this time, the role of running to the United States to record this album began to be reflected.

Here, everyone from the staff of the record company, musicians, musicians, to the hot dog sellers on the street, to the cashiers in the supermarket, all speak English, so after coming here, the English level of Li Qian and Liao Liao has risen rapidly. Especially in spoken English, it is even more difficult - the better the spoken language, the better the sense of language, and in the final analysis, singing is an art of vocalization, and if the sense of language is right, it will be easier to do more with half the effort in many aspects.

And another advantage of staying here is that there are a lot of street performers on the streets of Los Angeles, and many of them can sing R&B, although they have a considerable gap compared to mature singers in all aspects, but Li Qian and Liao Liao walked on the street, listened for a while, and walked over to exchange R&B skills with each other for a while, and they can always gain more or less.

Especially in terms of R&B's most elaborate and dazzling transposition, Liao Liao quickly improved.

Xie Mingyuan is in charge of the band and is responsible for docking with Rolling Stone Records, while Li Qian and Sun Meimei are only responsible for Liao Liao. By the end of March, the album "My-heart-will-go-on" was officially recorded in a Los Angeles studio.

At this time, there is still a month and a half before the release of "Titanic" in mid-May, and the earliest time before the album can be released is about 80 days - considering the need to set aside about a month or so for post-production and factory production, 50 days is really not enough time to make a brand new album.

Not to mention, there are four Chinese songs in this album, which need to be recorded in China after completing the work here - in this way, the recording time left for the six English songs here is even shorter than only one month!

"My-heart-will-go-on" is the easiest, Liao Liao is also the most familiar with it, and the music style is relatively the least difficult for her, so this must be recorded first, and then "I-will-always-love-you".

These two songs, in front of Liao Liao, who is at his peak, are not a problem at all.

It only took less than four days for Liao Liao to complete the recording of these two songs, and the musicians who participated in the recording of the Rolling Stone praised it one after another.

"Her voice is so powerful!"

"I feel like the roof is about to be lifted!"

"Feminine, strong and powerful, confident love...... Trust me, my dear, you're the best soul singer I've ever heard!"

And then, when recording the duet love song "Could-I-have-this-kiss-forever", Li Qian's control and control of the voice was almost unanimously praised by musicians in the Rolling Stones.

"I believe that no one can resist such a beautiful love song. Believe me, this song is just as good as the previous two, Qian, your voice processing skills are one of the best singers I've ever met......! In the United States!" said David Collison, associate director of global music at Rolling Stone.

There is no doubt that the first international record of Liao Liao, the queen of oriental songs, is also a three-way cooperation between Rolling Stone Records, Minghu Culture and the producer of "Titanic", even for a company like Rolling Stone Records, it is enough to attract considerable attention.

So, in addition to Michael Johnson, the general manager of Rolling Stone China, who returned to Los Angeles to participate in the whole process, Rolling Stone Records also sent their heavyweight to executive produce, that is, their associate director of global music, David Collison.

It's just that this gentlemanly deputy director has not been happy for a few days, and his brows have gradually wrinkled.

"Oh baby, your transposition...... Forgive me, it's a bit stiff, maybe you can try this......"

Words like this began to come out of his mouth frequently.

However, Liao Liao's musical talent is indeed very strong - even, if you put aside the music library in his mind and his singing experience in the past 20 years, Li Qian feels that neither of the two selves can compare to one Liao Liao.

Moreover, she is a Northeast girl who is unwilling to admit defeat from the bottom of her bones!

So, R&B is very difficult and challenging for her, but the more it is, the more motivated she becomes!

And so, again, again, and again......

Eventually, recording and singing, she began to play better and better, and many times, it was not even out of the norm, and she was able to amaze both David Collison and Michael Johnson.

So, after more than ten days of stuck, the song "No-one" finally completed the recording smoothly.

And the next "Through-the-rain", Liao Liao's feeling is simply out of control, in just three days, this work with a strong dazzling nature, although under Li Qian's repeated control, has been minimized to show off the ingredients, but she still performed the waves to fly!

And after completing this song, the remaining song in the American countryside, "You're still -the-One", is not a problem in the first place, and at this time, it is not a problem for Liao Liao, who is in a high state - it only took 28 days, Li Qian, Xie Mingyuan and Liao Liao, the trio, successfully completed all the tasks of this trip to the United States!

At this time, there is only half a month left before the release of "Titanic" in North America.

So, in addition to leaving Sun Meimei in the United States, Li Qian, Xie Mingyuan and Liao Liao left Los Angeles by plane the next day and returned to China to continue to complete the recording of the remaining four Chinese songs.

After returning to China, Xie Mingyuan will officially join Minghu Culture Company after a short break, replacing Li Qian as the company's music director. After Xie Mingyuan joins the company, Li Qian will be transferred to the artistic director of Minghu Culture.

Since then, it is equivalent to Xie Mingyuan becoming the leader of Minghu Culture in music affairs. Li Qian, on the other hand, can be freed from his previous position and put his sights on a broader range of investment, including the investment and production of movies and TV series, as well as the production of music records, especially for the image department of Minghu Culture Company, which is currently just starting.

At this time, it was the end of April, and it was said that Li Qian and Liao Liao had disappeared from the country for two months, and even disappeared without any news.

But this time, no.

It's a little weird, but it's just not.

After "Once You" was released on February 10, it swept the major lists, and not only broke 100,000 copies for three consecutive weeks on the sales list of Dongguan Bookstore, but also maintained a fairly healthy decline in the following weeks, until now, the sales of the eleventh week of listing came out, and this album still has an amazing sales of 38,581 copies in a single week.

However, no.

Even, Minghu Culture Company's newcomer singer Zhuang Meiyue's new album "At Least There Are You", after it was released on April 13, it quickly set off a craze, and for two consecutive weeks, although it ranked below "Once You", it still won the second place in the sales list of Dongguan Bookstore for two consecutive weeks. Although the gap is not big, as a newcomer, he steadily suppressed the little diva Li Xinru, and for a while, the domestic music scene was once again amazed by Li Qian's song-writing ability, production ability and star-making ability of Minghu culture!

However, Zhuang Meiyue is not the hottest in the domestic entertainment industry at the moment.

Because in mid-April, a Japanese TV series led by Sony Records China and Sony Corporation of Japan jointly introduced by Huaxia TV and premiered on a set of programs on Huaxia TV suddenly became popular.

Even, it is said that the ratings of this TV series are close to "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!

Just two weeks later, there was already a slogan in the media, and they called it: "Daily Invasion!"
