Chapter 229: Excited Scott
When Scott asked Zheng Xudong, is that all about "FADE"?, "No!" Zheng Xudong replied directly.
"What! what does the full version look like, hurry up. At this time, he was like the old naughty boy in the Legend of the Condor Heroes or Ouyang Feng when he saw the Nine Yin True Scripture, and he wanted it very much! It was simply like letting a seafarer who had been at sea for three months see a beautiful woman with a red fruit in a bar and not let him "get on". That feeling of scratching the heart and liver is known only to the person concerned.
At this time, Scott is not an economic person, he is now an art worker, seeing or hearing an incomplete beautiful piece of music, how can he be himself, he looked at Zheng Xudong with a smile on his face and did not speak, and suddenly understood, there are rules in this industry, you are not an economic person, people trust you to let you see the score without signing a confidentiality agreement, and want people to tell you the full version, this is a bit of a bad rule. He had a wry smile on his face, "I'm sorry, I got a little lost just now, I hope you understand! This is the best piece of music I've heard in years." Saying that, he took a sofa chair from the side and asked him to sit down, in fact, he didn't forget to take the chair just now, but he felt that Zheng Xudong was not qualified to sit down in front of him, let him stand for a while to dry him, and then he let go of the pride in his heart, put the position of the two on a horizontal plane, and started an equal conversation, "Okay, you win, I am willing to be your economic person, but favor belongs to favor, business belongs to business, let's talk about my treatment first, see if you are willing, and then we will continue to talk." ”
Of course, Zheng Xudong knew that you had to give people a heart-warming reward even if you said the flowers, so he said directly: "Mr. Scott, do you have any requirements for your salary?"
"A million dollars, plus one-thousandth of the income from any work I have coached you. In addition to being an economic person, I want to be your art director. He said.
"Yes, no problem. Although Zheng Xudong feels that this million annual salary is not low, even in the next few years, this annual salary is a price that can only be obtained by big-name star economists, and he also has to bring one-thousandth of the income of the works he has coached. But if he is as powerful as later generations say, it will all be worth it in the end.
"Don't be in a hurry to say yes, I'm not done yet. Scott waved his hand at him and continued: "I can't do everything myself, so I have a team of ten people under me, and they will be paid two million dollars a year, but they will only receive a fixed annual salary, and they will not receive dividends from your work." I'm done, you think about it before you reply to me. ”
"Mr. Scott, I think you should understand that this offer is currently the highest in the entertainment industry, I hope you don't disappoint me, deal!" Zheng Xudong stood up and stretched out his hand to wait for him.
Scott thought he would have to think about it for a long time, but he didn't expect him to agree so directly, it was too surprising, and he stretched out his hand to shake Zheng Xudong, "Adong, you are the most atmospheric star I have ever seen, there is no one." You'll find in the future that your money is well spent. ”
Zheng Xudong thought to himself, "Of course, just the single "FADE" sold more than three million copies, and if "FADE" with lyrics sold even more, and not counting the online click charges! As he spoke, he took out the phone and called Sean, told him about the fact that he had signed Scott as an economic man and his treatment, and asked him to come to Atlanta to sign a contract with Scott.
Now that the matter has been settled, Scott can't wait to say, "This time you can tell me what the full version of "FADE" looks like, right?
Zheng Xudong told him that this piece should also be mixed with MIDI, and if I could, I would like to add a string orchestra of 10 violin and 1 double bass. If he didn't say that he was an insider, he just said to Scott, and Scott seemed to have formed a small symphony orchestra in his mind, "High!
"It's not over yet!" Zheng Xudong said.
"FUCK! Can we stop being so tormenting, say, what's more? Scott's face was flushed at this point.
"I ALSO ADDED LYRICS TO THIS FADE TRACK, WHICH IS CALLED "FADE". This time it's over. Zheng Xudong said with a smile.
"What's over, what's over, what's the lyrics?" said he flipped through the A4 paper several times but couldn't find the lyrics. "SAY, WHERE ARE THE LYRICS FOR FED?" HE YELLED.
Zheng Xudong pointed to his head with a finger, and then told him: "You come to play the piano, I'll sing to you, OK!?"
Scott immediately sat down in front of ROLAND again, the score had been memorized in his mind, he didn't read the score at all, he directly closed his eyes and played it very intoxicated, and as the ROLAND piano music sounded, Zheng Xudong's deep voice sang along with the song.
“You were the shadow to my light
Did you feel us?
Another start
You fade away
Afraid our aim is out of sight
Wanna see us
Alive
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Was it all in my fantasy?
Where are you now?
Were you only imaginary?
Where are you now?
Atlantis
Under the sea
Under the sea
Where are you now?
Another dream
The monster's running wild inside of me
I'm faded
I'm faded
So lost, I'm faded
I'm faded
So lost, I'm faded
These shallow waters never met what I needed
I'm letting go a deeper dive
Eternal silence of the sea. I'm breathing alive
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Under the bright but faded lights
You've set my heart on fire
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Atlantis
Under the sea
Under the sea
Where are you now?
Another dream
The monster's running wild inside of me
I'm faded
I'm faded
So lost, I'm faded
I'm faded
So lost, I'm faded”
After Scott's song was played, Zheng Xudong's singing also stopped.
Scott did not get up from his chair, but looked ahead with a dull gaze, and after a while, he woke up from his sluggish state, stood up and said: "It seems that I underestimated the artistic talent of your Chinese people, this song is really a work of God with lyrics!" After a while, he said: "You can't sing this song, it's too bad for this work, I don't allow you to do it!" And this song is released after the song, let this electric music song warm up on the Internet first, no, let it become popular first. AND THEN MAKE THIS SONG INTO A MV AND PUT IT ON YOUTUBE TO FIGHT FOR CLICKS. Yes, that's it!" He spoke with no doubt at all.
ZHENG XUDONG ALSO SIGHED WITH EMOTION, IT SEEMS THAT THE EVALUATION OF HIM ON THE NETWORK IN THE FUTURE IS STILL INACCURATE! NOT THAT HE IS TALKING HIGH, BUT OBVIOUSLY SAYING THAT HE IS UNDER, ISN'T WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT NOW EXACTLY WHAT HE WILL LOOK LIKE IN ALAN WALKER'S WORK IN THE FUTURE! HE NOW FEELS MORE AND MORE THAT THE $3 MILLION SALARY HAS NOT BEEN SPENT IN VAIN! IT IS SO WORTHWHILE!
"Alright, now let's take a look at your next work, and hopefully surprise me a little more. So saying, he took out the second piece of paper and looked at it.
It said that the name of the song was "BABY", and Scott played it on the music stand on the piano. After playing it once, he felt that something was wrong, and then he turned to Zheng Xudong and said, "There is something wrong with this song." ”
Zheng Xudong smiled and said, "Do you have a guitar here?"
As soon as he heard Zheng Xudong say, Scott immediately understood, and he took out an acoustic guitar from a bookcase next to him and handed it to him.
Zheng Xudong took the guitar and began to play, as the music deepened, he began to learn to sing the classic song "BABY" with Justine's little boy's voice, in fact, his voice is really similar to Justine, after all, he is the same age as Justine, both are sixteen years old, and are in the stage of voice change.
“Oh woah Oh woahOh woahohhohh
You know you love me, I know you care
You shout whenever, and I'll be there
You want my love, you want my heart
And we will never ever ever be apart
Are we an item? Girl quit playing
We're just friends, what are you saying
Said there's another and look right in my eyes
My first love broke my heart for the first time
And I was like
Baby, baby, baby, oh like
Baby, baby, baby, no like
Baby, baby, baby, oh
I thought you'd always been mine, mine
Baby, baby, baby, oh like
Baby, baby, baby, no like
Baby, baby, baby, oh
I thought you'd always been mine, mine
Oh, Oh
For you, I would have done whatever
And I just can't believe we ain't together
And I wanna play it cool, but I'm losing you
I'll buy you anything, I'll buy you any ring
And I'm in pieces, baby fix me
And you'll shake me till you wake me from this bad dream
I'm going down, down, down, down
And I just can't believe my first love won't be around
And I'm now like
Baby, baby, baby, oh like
Baby, baby, baby, no like
Baby, baby, baby, oh
I thought you'd always been mine, mine
Baby, baby, baby, oh like
Baby, baby, baby, no like
Baby, baby, baby, oh
I thought you'd always been mine, mine
When I was 13 I had my first love
There was nobody that compared to my baby
And nobody came between us or could ever come above
She had me going crazy
Oh I was starstruck
She woke me up daily don't need no starbucks
She made my heart pound
Asking for a beat when I see her in the street
And at school on the playground
But I really wanna see her on the weekend
She knows she got me dazy
Cause she was so amazing
And now my heart is breaking
But I'll just keep on saying
Baby, baby, baby, oh like
Baby, baby, baby, no like
Baby, baby, baby, oh
I thought you'd always been mine, mine
Baby, baby, baby, oh like
Baby, baby, baby, no like
Baby, baby, baby, oh
I thought you'd always been mine, mine
Now I'm all gone
Now I'm all gone
Now I'm all gone
Now I'm all gone
I am gone。 ”
As the last note on the guitar was played, the singing stopped, Zheng Xudong himself could hear it singing exactly the same as Justine, he once asked Xiao Qiang if he could imitate other people's voices, Xiao Qiang told him, "Since you can have five masks, you can imitate the voices of five people, and the spaceship did not take back your voice when it took back your mask character, so you can theoretically imitate the voices of five people." ”
"It's another rare work! Okay, Adong, now I can tell you responsibly, it's impossible if you want to be popular, and I won't agree if you want to be popular! You are God's favorite, you are also my lucky star, my career has finally officially started from today! Let's go and record the MV!"
"HOLD ON! HOLD ON!(Slow!) Scott, are we in a hurry, this time to record, you are not mistaken?" Zheng Xudong hurriedly said to him.
Scott looked at him with the eyes of a monster, then touched his forehead with his hand and said, "Adong, aren't you in a hurry? You're about to become red, I heard that you still have to go to school, do you have a lot of time?" But even if you have a lot of time, I don't have it, and after your MV is finished, I still have a lot of promotion work to do, let's go, there is a music studio here that is my friend, let's go to record today, and then spend two days to record the MV, you can leave, the rest of the work is mine, how about this time, I know that the money you gave is not in vain! Okay, I'll call and ask my team to assemble. Let's go now. ”
Zheng Xudong actually likes Scott's fiery character, such a person is very energetic.
Scott drove Zheng Xudong to a place called "Triangle Sound Studio" in the suburbs of Atlanta, in fact, it is a private villa, the villa area is about 400 square meters, it looks like a private villa from the outside, but there is a world inside, the first floor of the villa is the same as all other residences, there is a living room, kitchen, maid's room, laundry room and garage. But it's different when you go up to the second floor, the entire second floor is 150 square meters, and you can see from the decoration of the recording studio that this studio is done by professionals, not to mention that the walls and ceilings are covered with sound-absorbing cotton, and the floor is also covered with thick carpets, and the mixing room and singing room are not small. The owner of this recording studio is Dave Bautista, a recording workaholic who jumps into the groove whenever he has a job.
Scott said to Zheng Xudong: "Dave Battista himself is a master of mixing, don't question his ability, the charge here is not cheap, it is an hourly charge, 10,000 US dollars an hour, so it depends on your performance, I hope not to disappoint me, the more you make mistakes, the longer the time, the more people will earn." Of course, don't think about fooling around, Dave is a very strict person with his work. But if you manage the relationship with him, he is still very talkative. ”
Zheng Xudong heard from Scott's words that this Dave Battista may be a person who is not easy to contact, and it seems that he should be careful...
