"I've told Max about this a long time ago, that kind of old-fashioned sexy transformation, I won't use it on Britney. Sid said something that made Barry Weiss frown.

"Then, even if you don't have to make these pre-selected songs now, then Britney's new album still has to start preparation, otherwise the time will drag on too long, and the enthusiasm of the market and fans will be reduced. Barry Weiss cautiously argued.

"Really?" Sid chuckled faintly, then threw up another question, "Barry, how long do you think the 911 effect will last?"

Barry Weiss, of course, couldn't have known this, he was just the owner ......of TeenPop Records, not a strategist at the Boston Consulting Group.

"Until the middle of next year, the first-round effect of 911 will not go away, do you think it is appropriate to release Britney's transformation album at this time?" Sid's rhetorical question made Barry Weiss suddenly realize, "Also, if it's a transformation that anyone could have predicted, then what's the point?"

"Boss, what do you mean?" Barry Weiss bewildered the more he listened.

Sid looked at his appearance and couldn't help but sigh secretly, he really deserved to be the person who "historically" played Jive Records out of business, and he really succeeded and failed.

Barry Weiss, despite his sensitivity to TeenPop, is slow to respond to changes in other music genres and society as a whole.

"Barry, what's the hardest thing for a teenage idol?" asked Sid.

"Of course, it's the transformation, breaking into the adult mainstream market. Barry Weiss replied immediately.

"So you guys think Britney's third album is the most important and the biggest test. Because that's going to determine whether Britney will be the second Madonna Madonna or the other Tiffany's, right?" Sid said Barry Weiss's thoughts.

Tiffany's most popular champion female singer in the United States in the 80s, as soon as her first single was released that year, she squeezed out the new song "Bad" by Michael Jackson, the king of pop music at that time, and topped the Billboard pop singles chart, becoming the youngest female singer to champion the singles chart in the United States at the age of 16.

But then her Flop's speed was comparable to the rise, and it became an anecdote in the North American music industry.

"Yes, yes—" Barry Weiss nodded repeatedly, but was interrupted by Sid.

"But I can tell you for sure that Britney will not be a second Madonna or another Tiffany. Sid's words surprised Barry Weiss.

But Sid didn't bother to play any more pretentious, he said bluntly: "The trend of TeenPop has begun to fade, the dawn of singer-songwriters has begun to show, and the audience of new rock and rap is gradually expanding, all of which mean changes and trends in the music market." ”

"Barry, you're now the CEO of Fire Lion Records, not the previous Jive Records that specialized in youth idol artists, if you can't keep up with the trend of the whole market, then I should think about it more. ”

Sid's words sent a chill down Barry Weiss's neck, and of course he knew what Sid's "consideration" was - if he couldn't keep up with the market, then of course he would change to a manager who could keep up with the market.

"And Britney's new album, I've already had a draft, and I'll talk to you and Max about it later. Sid said lightly, and then he couldn't help but smile faintly when he saw Barry Weiss's somewhat unguarded appearance.

"Don't be so nervous, Barry, you should be glad I'm telling you this now, not waiting for something to go wrong with the Fire Lion Records. That means you still have time to improve, don't let me down, Barry. Sid said as he looked at Barry Weiss with a sparkle in his eyes.

Barry Weiss breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

"Besides, you don't have to worry too much, the current 911 Sakura is actually an opportunity as long as it is used well. Sid's words made Barry Vislen pause.

"Boss, you mean?"

"I mean, it's better to do some other CDs and singles like 'HoldMyHands,' which I sang at a charity concert before. ”

Sid's words couldn't help but make Barry Weiss's eyes light up, and he asked excitedly, "Well, Boss, have you decided to release an album?"

Sid looked at his excited appearance and couldn't help asking, "What, you seem to be interested?"

"Of course, Boss. Barry Weiss nodded repeatedly, "You don't know how many people are talking about your 'HoldMyHands' at the charity concert right now, whether it's the media or your movie fans, but they really want to hear your new song!"

"We could have used 'HoldMyHands' as the title song, and then found a few songs to put together an album and it would definitely be a big hit!"

I have to say that Barry Weiss is still good in terms of his acumen in the record market.

Whirlside laughed, "That's right, it's not impossible for me to release an album, but you have to release the soundtrack of "Begin Again" before I can consider it." Sid smiled faintly.

"That's not a problem. Barry Weiss nodded repeatedly, smiling like a flower.

"Oh well. Sid nodded, "To save time, I've written down 16 songs from 'Begin Again' Music Changes Lives." ”

"All?!" Barry Weiss looked at Sid with a blank look in his eyes.

"yes, all. Sid nodded innocently, "Our movie is going to start shooting next month, and I don't have a year to waste, so I'll do it myself." ”

"But, Boss, what, what?" Barry Weiss looked at Sid a little speechless.

Max Martin patted Barry Weiss on the shoulder and said, "Forget Barry, don't deal with monsters like Boss, you'll have high blood pressure." ”

"Oh, I'm a monster?" Sid looked at Max with a smirk, "Then ask our musical genius, Master Max, to record these tunes for me." ”

"Okay. Max Martin happily sat down at the tape recorder, and then he looked left and right: "Anyway, what about the music and lyrics you composed? ”

"Here it is. Sid smiled and pointed to his head.

"You're a monster!" Max glared at Sid.

"Hehe, if you also have the ability to remember instantaneously, then you wouldn't feel that way. Sid smiled faintly.

"Okay, let's talk about the first song first, this is the theme song of "Begin Again", "Lost Stars", which is Dave's 'famous song' in the film, and the heroine Greta also sang. So there are two versions here, Greta's guitar-folk version, and Dave's pop-rock version. ”
