"Forget about punishment or something. Sid smiled and said to Barry Weiss on the other side of the phone, "(Mick) Jagger is almost sixty people, and it would be too petty to ask for their contract money because of this little thing." In the future, if other singers want to join our Fire Lion, they don't have to think about the consequences. ”
This is a call from Fire Lion Records Barry Weiss after sorting out Mick Jagger's "bombardment" of Britney Spears.
Barry Weiss couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Sid's disapproving words, he certainly didn't really want to punish Mick Jagger. It's just because Britney is the boss of our big boss after all, and she was slapped in the face by her own singer, and this kind of thing may be reported to other bosses.
He also knew that there was a slim chance that Sid would really get angry because of this kind of gossip. That's why Barry Weiss deliberately offered Sid a punishment for reducing the Rolling Stones' contract fee first, in order to silence Sid and the others.
"Okay, I see, Boss. Barry Weiss replied.
After hanging up the phone, Sid let out a sigh of relief and laughed: "Barry (Weiss) is going to play this kind of trick now." ”
Just when the Britney Spears fame turmoil caused by Mick Jagger gradually subsided within the Fire Lion.
Another thing far away in North America has finally caught the attention of the entire TV circle - that is, the ratings of "American Idol", after two months of broadcasting, went low and high, and finally exceeded 20 million people in the second half of the show!
This low and high opening result made the North American TV circle can't help but breathe a sigh of cold air.
With the weekly broadcast of "American Idol", the singing competition, which originally seemed tacky and simple, gradually accumulated energy that others could not imagine.
Not only has the popularity of the show risen, but even the unknown singers in the show, who have not only improved their singing strength in the show step by step, but also accumulated their fans and popularity little by little.
This unprecedented double effect not only shocked the major TV networks, but also surprised Lightning Entertainment, which hosted the show. If there is anyone who is not surprised, it is only the people of Fire Lion TV who have been baptized by Sid's overall plan in advance.
In fact, the biggest difference between "American Idol" and the later "The Voice of America" is that the focus of the show is different!
"The Voice of America" uses big-name judges, and the judges compete with each other for the contestants and form teams with each other to PK, which is destined to focus their attention on the big-name judges, rather than the contestants.
Therefore, the champion of "The Voice of America" has always disappeared as fast as it appeared.
But "American Idol" is just the opposite, as the absolute king of reality shows, "American Idol" can endure for more than ten years, and the biggest key is that its focus is always on the players!
After the preliminary audition, the true charm of "American Idol" has just been revealed, and the next contestants to enter the semi-finals will experience a hellish "Hollywood Week".
During this week, these amateur singers will be trained and mentored by professional music producers.
Under Sid's "premeditation", a large number of Gold Medal music producers of Fire Lion Records, led by "Dong Fei" Farrell Williams and Max Martin, arrived at the scene to train the semi-finalists of the first season of "American Idol".
According to the two of them's later recollections, the chaotic but vibrant appearance of the "Hollywood Week" scene startled the two of them when they first entered "Beautiful Dolls", and the producers they led were even more suspicious of what their group was doing here.
But then, the intense training began. It's not just an exciting process for amateur singers who have talent but don't have access to the record industry. Even for producers like Max Martin, it's an unprecedented experience.
"I swear, I never thought I would have five singers in front of me at the same time and let me guide at the same time. Pharrell Williams smiled at Max Martin afterwards.
"You can try my side, seven people at the same time. Max Martin raised an eyebrow and smiled.
After learning that Max Martin is the gold medal producer who trained the Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears, all the inductees competed fiercely with their eyes shining like wolves who had discovered lambs, and only then did they grab Max Martin's mentoring spot.
"I knew I would be so tired, I'm sure I wouldn't come, and I'll have to go back to Sid and knock it out. Max Martin "complained."
"Then why are you still smiling so happily? Farrell Williams was merciless in his debunking.
"Don't expose me so quickly, you guy. Max Martin laughed and struck his fist on Farrell Williams' shoulder.
"Do you have any good seedlings there?" asked Max Martin curiously.
"Hehe, don't try to get information from me. Pharrell Williams laughed very old-fashioned, although their behind-the-scenes mentors do not participate in the competition of the show, but of course the good seedlings in their hands do not want to be sent to others so simply.
"Haha, you're getting more and more savvy now. Max Martin shrugged with a smile, "Okay, forget it, then." ”
Although the "historical" American idol is backed by the Fox television network, it has not been valued by the top management, and there are no available resources for music producers. Therefore, with the help of ordinary level music producers, the performance and growth of those semi-finalists are not impressive.
But this time, with the silent dedication of these ace producers of Fire Lion Records behind the scenes, this time the "American Idol" contestants have grown to varying degrees in "Hollywood Week", but it is surprising!
And the most surprising of them is that he was trained by Max Martin, a young male contestant named Justin Greaney, although his singing ability is not the kind that has improved by leaps and bounds, but his performance has a unique style. Just like those pop icons, this Justin Greaney is particularly suited to Max Martin's femdom style.
So his popularity on the show has also grown the fastest, not only that, but when the other contestants face the ruthless Simon Cowell, they either tremble with fear, or dare to curse in their hearts.
But Justin Greaney is not afraid, not only is he not afraid, but he also dares to scold Simon Cowell head-on. He not only angrily scolded Simon (Cowell) head-on, but also mobilized his fans on the scene to scold Simon (Cowell) together. For mobile phone users, please browse M.
