Chapter 150: The Fall
It turns out that Dan is not only the co-founder of his company, but also tapped into several singer-songwriters in the 90s and won two Grammy Music Producer Awards.
"What's the deal with the Grammys?" Seeing this glamorous resume that there was nothing to say, and then looking at the now down-and-out Dan, Greta asked speechlessly.
"I'll take it and take it. ”
"How much did you pay back?" Not only was Greta speechless, but even the audience in the theater let out a laugh of incredible.
"The two trophies are $125 a lot, and I spent it on a weekend in the last few months. ”
Then Dan encouraged with all his might, while Greta resisted all the way arrogantly, and the two talked from singing style to packaging and dressing.
"(Bob) Dylan? That's the most unreliable singer you can think of. Look at his hair, his sunglasses, he changes his look every ten years, okay?" Dan scoffed at Greta's so-called "realist singer."
And the audience leaned back and forth in laughter.
"God, what the hell are we arguing about here? You can't sign me, and I don't want to be signed. Although Greta kept complaining, the smile on her face couldn't hide it.
"yes, why don't you like to be signed?" said Dan.
Of course, the argument between the two was still fruitless.
The two walked on the road, Greta insisted on going back to her hometown in England, and Dan tried to stop the rising star from leaving, "Please, no one will come back to New York, and then leave because something unsatisfactory happened." What the hell is going on?"
Under Dan's unremitting pestering, Greta reluctantly agreed to think about it for one night and contact again tomorrow morning.
Back at her accommodation, Greta pulled out a Sony DV player, flipped through the display, and clicked the play button.
There is a man and a woman, the woman is Greta, and the man is a handsome young man.
Then the screen changed from the small screen of the DV machine to the DV machine excitedly shooting Greta from the Brooklyn Bridge in New York. It was clear that she was in love with the young man, and the two sat in the car, like all New Yorkers, excitedly watching the approaching Big Apple.
The car drove into New York City, and as soon as the two of them got out of the car, the receptionist of the record company was already waiting there.
And when the group entered the apartment, several beautiful women on the street stopped Greta's boyfriend, "I'm sorry, are you Dave Cole?"
It turns out that Greta's boyfriend Dave is a music star who has just starred in a British movie and has a singing career that is about to take off.
Greta and Dave, who came to the record company in the afternoon, were warmly received by the owner of the record company, and this scene was specially filmed at the New York headquarters of Fire Lion Records.
Among the seemingly inconspicuous group performances, the first one to be introduced was a blonde girl "My (boss)'s assistant Mime, the beautiful Mime." ”
And this blonde beauty was specially selected by Sid to choose Zoe Deschanel, who was still unknown at this time, that is, the heroine of the little fresh film "500 Days with Shamo" with Joseph.
Although in later movies, she showed off her brown hair, she was actually born blonde, so when she appeared in front of the camera with blonde hair, blue eyes and red lips, although it was not for a long time, it did make many people's eyes shine.
The reason why Sid chose her and made her appear so beautiful is, of course, to lay the groundwork for the later plot.
And when the record company owner asked Greta if she was involved in the creation of the movie song, under Dave's twinkling eyes, Greta categorically put all the credit on her boyfriend.
But the audience understood everything immediately.
But I have to say that Dave's singing in the studio is really good, even some music critics who rushed to know early on that this was a musical movie couldn't help but nod secretly - this rookie actor (Benedict) sings so well?
While Dave was busy working on the album, Greta had to wander around New York City alone, and seeing her riding a bicycle against the backdrop of the Brooklyn Bridge made many viewers feel the same way.
Greta, on the other hand, finds her childhood friend with Dave, Steve, a weak male best friend who works as a wandering singer in New York.
"He's been in the studio for three months, and then we're going on tour, and I guess it's going to be half a year?"
Greta's words made the male girlfriend envious, "It's incredible, you're like a rock star." Which record company is working with him?"
"Big-Machine-Record?"
"Oh, Fu--off, get out of here!" the male girlfriend was completely speechless.
Of course, this name is very unfamiliar to the vast majority of audiences, so I just think it's a name that the director casually relates.
After playing with friends, the screen turns, and a memory in a memory comes.
It was snowy Northern England, Greta and her boyfriend Dave were far from famous, Dave played guitar, Greta sang the Christmas gift she wrote for Dave, and it was the movie theme song "Lost-Stars" that made Dave stand out!
The picture-in-picture memories are over, and Dave returns to New York after a month-long recording trip to Los Angeles.
The two seem to be back to the daily life of their relationship, and Dave can't wait to show Greta a new song of his own - "It's not my dream too simple, it's just a perfect girl and a perfect song, what I know is, I can only continue." ”
"When you become my only one and understand the meaning in my eyes, take me to another world, take me to a higher place-"
At this point, Dave's face flickered and he ducked.
"I don't mind if I were asked to abandon the others. Because I know that as long as I meet you, everything else is meaningless. ”
Greta listened to the lyrics, her eyes gradually changed, and her insightful girlfriend alarm immediately went red.
She went up and slapped her, "Smack!"
"Fu --!" Dave said with a grim look on his face, "What the hell do you mean?" though he turned and fled the kitchen, dropping his glass of wine in the sink.
At that time, in order to achieve the effect that Sid wanted, Benedict dropped a dozen goblets filled with red wine.
Greta immediately pulled the CD out of the CD player and threw it on the ground in disgust, she would be disgusted to listen to it for a second longer.
Dave walked back, "Do you know how to read minds?"
"Who is this song for?" Greta gets to the point.
Dave was silent for a while, "Meme." ”
"Mim Mime of the record company...... "What happened next, even Greta was at a loss.
"Boom ——!"
Why is there a blonde girl in front of her? The American blonde girl has once again "defeated" the brown-haired British girl.
"I don't know how to tell you. Dave held back for a long time before saying this.
So you broke up in such a "creative" way? You city people really know how to play.
Greta carries a guitar bag, carries a suitcase, and pushes a bicycle to find her boyfriend. The male girlfriend who is still singing ugly songs at the subway entrance, when he sees this posture, he understands everything.
