Chapter 286 Temporary Intentions

Each of the beachfront villas at Marbury Beach has its own unique character.

Standing on the west terrace of the rented villa, Fu Zhengyi, who was holding a telescope, followed the direction pointed by Sabel and soon found the mansion that belonged to David Geffing, one of the founders of DreamWorks.

David Geffen is one of America's most successful owners in the film, television, record and entertainment industries, and he founded a company that owns or has owned many famous stars or productions, such as the famous bands "Theeagles", "Guns &Roses", John Lennon, the Broadway musical "Cats" and a large number of movies.

DreamWorks Studios was founded last year by Stephen Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffin, but in fact there is a mysterious funder named Paul Allen, who co-founded Microsoft with Bill Gates!

It's just a pity that although DreamWorks has a big-name director like Stephen Spielberg, a filmmaker who once served as the chairman of Walt Disney Studios, and David Geffin, a big boss in the film, television, record and entertainment industries, and even Paul Allen, a huge rich man who makes behind-the-scenes investment, can it hinder Stephen? Spielberg's dedication to art, even though DreamWorks Studios made many classics, still developed slowly, and eventually the three who founded the company broke up, and the entire studio was sold to Viacom twelve years later.

After sorting out the memories of his past life, Fu Zhengyi put down the telescope in his hand and sighed. "It's a pity, Stephen Spielberg is too persistent, otherwise DreamWorks would definitely be better......"

"What? What are you talking about?"

Turning his face and seeing that Sabel was confused, Fu Zhengyi, who knew that he was speechless, smiled and said. "Sabel, how many songs does Candace's album have?"

"The title song "plicated" works quite well. So even if it's just a test sale, the sales of single albums are still on the rise, but if you want to put together a whole album of tracks, there are still at least three songs left, as Candace's signing company, I think the first song provided by [Dream Media] is super standard, so a few days ago, I also asked Candace to contact [Dream Media] to see if she can ask the songwriter who wrote the song "Plicated" to help her tailor a few more songs......"

A few more songs, and a single song made her the champion of "Billboard". If there were a few more songs, wouldn't she be going to fly into the sky?"

Amused by Fu Zhengyi's joke, Sabel, who covered his mouth, laughed. "[Dream Media] has really picked up a treasure, Candace's musical talent is not good, but the song "Plicated" alone has allowed her to leapfrog the years of hard work of other singers. It's just that the MV shooting of the first song is also very difficult, and in my opinion, if this song is given to other female singers, it must be able to play a better effect, purely commercially, it is far more cost-effective than letting a novice like Candace perform it!"

Speaking of this, seeing Fu Zhengyi frowning, Sabel explained with some patience. "That's right. He felt that with the energy and time to package Candace, it was better to give this song to a second-tier singer, I believe it would be enough to make him jump into the ranks of first-tier singers, [Dream Media] is too wasteful......"

Fu Zhengyi, who heard this, was a little surprised. "Davy Geffin's evaluation? Isn't he already putting all his energy into DreamWorks now?

"He's living here, and when I was talking to the owner about the lease here, he happened to come over and he was very fond of the song 'Plicated' when he mentioned Candace. But he was quite dissatisfied with Candace's appearance......"

I see.

Although David Geffen doesn't have a high opinion of Candace, he is able to express his love for the song "Plicated". It means that his judgment is still sharp, and Fu Zhengyi, who is moved in his heart, asked. "Sabel, David Geffen has been popular with many singers, so if you ask him to help Candace open up the market, how likely do you think?"

"Isn't it? How could you have thought of having David Geffen work for Candace? That's an unimaginable cost! He's now focused on DreamWorks, and is said to have declared that every penny he earns from now on will go to charity. So [Dream Media] can't impress him purely in terms of remuneration!"

"DreamWorks has three partners, with Stephen's character, it is almost impossible to make DreamWorks a top company, David Geffen will not focus on DreamWorks forever, he should not be idle!"

I didn't expect Fu Zhengyi to comment on DreamWorks, Stephen and David Geffen like this, and Sabel, who was stunned for a long time, said with an incredulous expression. "Oh my God! You're not kidding, are you? David Geffen would never go out for a new person for the sake of pay. You're whimsical!"

"A newcomer, David Geffen, of course, is not interested, but David Geffen has an unparalleled appreciation for music, if the songs tailored for Candace can make him interested, how likely do you think it is that he will help Candace operate?"

Sensing that Fu Zhengyi was not joking, Sabel, who had thought seriously for a moment, still shook his head. "Fu, unless there can be a song similar to "Plicated", there is not even the slightest possibility, and it is not even possible to meet him......"

Fu Zhengyi has no doubt about this, David Geffen is the richest person in the global entertainment industry, and it would be humiliating to go to him to talk about remuneration, so if he is not interested, no one can influence his decision, it was because Sabel mentioned this person that he came up with the idea, so Fu Zhengyi no longer mentioned this matter, but asked ICM about the specific arrangements for Candace.

"ICM is more stable, although the commission is quite high, but Candace's first song into "Billboard" they immediately changed Candace to a new agent, raised the security level, and even other aspects of cooperation are treated with reference to second-tier singers, the later plan is currently scheduled for January, the key is that her first album has not reached the stage of promotion, and many things cannot be talked about......

Turning his gaze to the filming site of the pool, Fu Zhengyi hesitated for a moment and followed Sabel to listen to the songs that had been recorded.

The album with pop rock music as the main song, Candace with a penetrating voice has not many places to find fault in terms of singing control, but the few songs selected by Sabel are a bit different from "plicated", and it feels like only "plicated" is a song in the whole album, which makes people a little disappointed in addition to being amazing.

Seeing that Fu Zhengyi took off the headphones after listening, Sabel, who looked helpless, smiled bitterly. "Feel the difference?"

"Yes, except for the song "plicated", it can only be said to be ordinary, not amazing and exciting, although Candace's voice controls these songs quite well, but there is still a big gap with the initial expectations, if the last few songs are still like this, her first album must be postponed, otherwise it will affect Candace's development!"

"The problem is that we can't collect the right songs at the moment, so we have to postpone the release of her first album again, and although the market response is good at the moment, it can't always be delayed like this, and I have a headache too......"

Seeing Sabel's temptation around the bush, Fu Zhengyi smiled and ignored it, but put on headphones and listened to all the songs sung by Candace again, which made him feel a little better.

Candace, who has not received acting training, is indeed very problematic in the shooting of the MV.

Although she hired the filming team of DreamWorks, both the director and the cinematographer were very professional, but she seemed to have been unable to get into the state, and she was unable to complete the morning shooting plan early in the morning, which made the entire film crew angry, and even had to postpone lunch for more than half an hour.

Fu Zhengyi, who had finished eating the boxed lunch early, was about to go downstairs to have a look, but Candace, who was holding the boxed lunch, ran up from downstairs and dragged him into the study, and after closing the door, he had a bitter face. "Boss! I was scolded miserably......"

"You haven't received acting training, and your natural appearance is not good, and I think the future MV shooting should still be biased towards the natural style, and the special effects will be handled by the film team, and every shooting in the province will make everyone suffer!"

Placing the lunch box on the desk, Candace, who threw herself into Fu Zhengyi's arms, smiled bitterly. "But the current MV shooting style is Sabel's construction, and my agent and my assistant think her plan is more suitable......"

After raising her face slightly to make her face the sun, Fu Zhengyi found that the makeup artist made Candace was still the mainstream pastoral style, which was completely contrary to the Lavigni he remembered!

Fu Zhengyi, who got up and let the girl stand at the window, circled her twice and called Sabel in and told her to notify the makeup artist and costume artist immediately.

"The little black smoke can highlight her independence, freedom, and bravery. With a bright lip color and her clean cheeks, it can give a sense of vitality. Reapply her makeup now, and the costume artist should find her a cowboy hat or a headscarf to give her a neutral look. Try to create a trendy retro vibe, and remember to look for gold belts and silver jewelry, I'm sure she'll be able to lead the way in creating an alternative futuristic style just by dressing!"

After listening to Fu Zhengyi's request, not only the makeup artist and costume artist were dumbfounded, but even Sabel was dumbfounded.

Candace, who was standing at the window in a lace dress and was dressed up with a sweet atmosphere, was also completely stunned, looking at Fu Zhengyi in a daze, but couldn't say a word...... (To be continued.) )
