It didn't take long for Xiao Min to come out of the recording studio a little tired, take the water handed by Liu Pian, and take a big sip.

Before Liu Pian could say something encouraging, the music director sitting next to him applauded.

"Awesome, these songs are some of the best I've heard lately!" Kenny laughs.

Xiao Min smiled politely, and Liu Pian didn't bird him.

During this time, Kenny came to him a lot to "talk", nothing more than to get these songs away, and it would be better if he could get Liu Pian to the world.

Of course, Liu Pian doesn't have these ideas, Kenny wants to ask the singers of Universal to ask for songs, but it's definitely not now, and it's impossible to give these songs to others.

Although Kenny is the music director, Liu Pian is not afraid at all. The music director is just a part-time worker, so he is also a studio owner, and Zhou Mulan is behind him.

"I have a hunch that this new album is going to make it to the top five on the Billboard albums chart!" Kenny swears.

"Thank you, I hope so. Liu Pian smiled faintly.

"Liu, are you interested in working with Universal Music?"

"Aren't we working together now?"

"No, no, no, I mean collaborations other than this album. Kenny laughs, "I want you to create an album for our artists around the world." ”

"Who?" asked Xiao Min this time.

"Liu, it's up to you. Kenny replied, "There are a lot of excellent singers around the world who have won platinum records, and there are both male and female singers who have recently become popular in the music scene, and I will arrange for you to work with whoever you think is more in line with your appetite." ”

Liu Pian raised an eyebrow.

This... Maybe you think too much of yourself, right?

Anyway, I haven't made a name for myself in the European and American music scene yet.

"There's no rush for this, I'll talk about it when I'm done with this new album. Liu Pian didn't immediately agree, and he suddenly couldn't figure out Kenny's path.

"Okay, we'll talk about it when the album is successful. Kenny nodded.

After sitting for a while, he said goodbye and left.

As he walked out the door of the studio, the smile on Kenny's face slowly faded and his face became slightly solemn.

He has been a music director at Universal for more than ten years, and has witnessed the development of the European and American music scene, and even the development of the world music scene. After all, English is the most widely spoken language in the world, and so are English songs.

With a keen sense of music, he can faintly feel Liu Pian's strong musical ability.

He checked Liu Pian's information, his status in the Chinese music scene, and his actions in the North American music scene in the past six months. Although Liu Pian only released a few songs after coming to the United States, each one became popular.

The fireworks and the road where I love you lie are all red, and the latter is in the top five of the Billboard singles chart. If it weren't for the fact that there was no charge for this song, it wouldn't be difficult to rank first, the heat is there, and the popularity is too high.

A Chinese man who plays hardcore rap like this 6, this is the first time he has seen it in his life.

And...

"Ryu is a musical all-rounder, and he can do any type of music." Kenny whispered.

This was what shocked him the most.

Just like Xiao Min's current English album, the style of each song is very different.

"How could such a musician exist?" Kenny was puzzled, and faded away with a stomach full of doubts.

......

In the recording studio, Xiao Min asked Liu Pian, "Do you really plan to work with Universal to help their singers make albums?"

"Not necessarily. Liu Pian shook her head, "Cooperation must be cooperated, but there are so many singers in Europe and the United States, it is not necessary to cooperate with singers from all over the world." I just need more singers to carry my songs forward, and the two of us are not enough. ”

"Aren't there still Liu Yi and them?"

"Liu Yi's English is indeed good, but Tongtong lacks a lot, her position in the Chinese music scene has not been consolidated, and she is still too young. ”

Xiao Min glanced at Liu Pian: "You seem to be many years older than her." ”

"Ahem. Liu Pian smiled awkwardly, "Don't worry, Tongtong will have a chance in the future." But now... I want to sign a few European and American singers for the art industry. ”

"You're going to dig someone else's corner?"

"Of course not, there are many singers who sing well in the folk, and they don't necessarily have to dig into other people's corners. These folk singers just lack a chance, or rather, they lack a few good songs. ”

When Xiao Min saw Liu Pian's appearance, he knew that his "mentor heart" had been resurrected again.

It's just that the trainees have been replaced by Europeans and Americans.

.......

In mid-December, the album was produced.

Universal helped distribute it in Europe and the United States, and in China, it was handed over to the art industry and Yuhao Entertainment. The domestic market for English songs is also quite good, but the big market is still abroad. The specific time of release is Christmas.

Because of the "Love You Lying Road" as a striker, the album has attracted a certain amount of attention before it is launched.

You know, although "Love You Lie on the Road" did not reach the top on the billboard, but in some countries such as Europe, South America, Australia and Southeast Asia, it has basically reached the top.

A hardcore rap topped the world, and it was sung by Chinese people, which has to say that the charm of this song is great. There are many people who like it, and there are many people who don't like it, and there are still many people in China who can't appreciate Liu Pian's rap, but they have a soft spot for Xiao Min's chorus.

For this problem, Liu Pian has no tricks, hardcore rap is indeed not the mainstream of Chinese music. Most Chinese listeners prefer songs with beautiful melodies rather than hardcore rap that are sonorous and powerful with strong aggressiveness and destructive power.

Ancient songs are the representatives of Chinese music.

After getting the album, Liu Pian doesn't have to worry about the release, and he is not a professional in distribution.

After returning to school with Xiao Min, the annual Christmas is also approaching.

In addition, USC is going to have a holiday, and as soon as Christmas is over, the winter vacation will be ushered in.

Alone in a foreign land as a stranger, Liu Pian saw the Christmas atmosphere gradually descending on the city of Los Angeles, and saw Americans busy around their "Spring Festival", and couldn't help but miss their relatives and friends far away.

December 21st.

The campus film festival has also entered the final stage of preparation, and the list of entries that stood out has been announced, including the name of "Blair the Witch", and Liu Pian also met Steven and their brutal horror film: "Ghoul".

This movie is probably the most heavyweight film at this film festival, and people who don't have any special fetishes really won't go to see this kind of movie.

In the afternoon, Steven and others asked Liu Pian to play basketball, and chatted with him about the film festival by the way.

On the side of the court, Steven was curious: "Liu, I remember that you made a movie with Zhou Mulan, have you been selected? I didn't see your name on the list." ”

Liu Pian was dumbfounded, "Blair the Witch" did not have the names of the director and crew, just Jesse, but there were the names of the people in charge of the Universal.

The film was contributed under the name of Universal.

"Maybe I wasn't lucky enough to be selected. Liu Pian shrugged, "I should have joined your crew in the first place, so my name could appear at the festival, even if it was just a mixer." ”

Steven looked regretful, "Friend, don't be discouraged, after all, this is a movie, not music, and I believe you will be stronger musically." ”

[Deception succeeded...]

"Thank you, you will definitely become a great director. Liu Pian smiled.

Steven nodded modestly and added, "You must have heard of the witch thing, the disappearance. ”

"Well, I've heard of it. ”

"The materials left behind by those three people have been edited into a documentary by Universal and used to participate in this electronic music festival!" Steven said mysteriously, "This documentary is the most watched movie now, and even Paul's new film is not as famous as it!"

Liu Pian smiled milingly.

Isn't it true that from the beginning of the shooting, it took months to execute the marketing plan, for the sake of all this attention and popularity?

Steven said helplessly, "My film may not work, it is a cult film in itself, it has a small audience, and now there is "Blair the Witch" to compete, and when the film festival starts, we will have no audience at all." Damn, why did Universal bring this movie to the film festival!"

Belch.... Liu Pian sighed, "This is also something that can't be helped, after all, the original intention of the three of them to shoot this documentary was to participate in this film festival, and now that they are missing, Universal is just helping them fulfill their wishes." ”

Steven lost his temper.

Fighting against three missing, maybe even dead?

Maybe "Blair the Witch" is someone's posthumous work.

Thinking about it like this, Steven felt a lot more comfortable.

Immediately, the two walked into the stadium and had a two-person battle. However, in the corner of the court, where Liu Pian didn't notice, a man and a woman were silently watching this side.
