Outside Eric's hotel room, Peter Ritchie knocked on the door, and after receiving a response, he pushed the door open and said to Christina, who was following him, "Miss Aguilera, go in, the boss is waiting for you." ”

Christina subconsciously glanced at Milia, the assistant who was following behind her, and Peter Richie noticed her eyes and said, "Oh, this ......"

"Miria Antin," Miria said quickly.

Peter Ritchie nodded and said, "Miss Andin, you can go back to the hotel first." ”

"Oh, of course," there was no way to follow up to meet Eric, Miria was a little disappointed, but she didn't dare to refute, and when she saw Christina enter the door, she reluctantly turned away.

Christina thought that Eric was the only one in the room, but when she entered the door, she found that Eric was discussing something with another middle-aged man around a piano near the balcony.

Cameron first noticed Christina entering the door, saw the petite and sweet-looking girl in front of him, and subconsciously asked, "Eric, this little guy is the singer you are looking for?"

Although Christina knows about the "Terminator" series, she has also heard about "Titanic", which has been hotly discussed by the media for the past six months , but she didn't recognize Cameron, but the girl was very eye-catching, looking at Cameron wearing a somewhat wrinkled shirt and his hair messily leaning against the piano, she realized that he should at least be Eric's good friend, otherwise he wouldn't dare to be so sloppy in front of Eric, so although Cameron's tone was full of doubts about her, Christina still smiled at the other party, and when she saw Eric turn her head, she hurriedly greeted: "Eric, you look for me." ”

Eric sat at the piano and didn't mean to get up, just nodded at her and said, "Well, come here." ”

Christina obediently walked to Eric's other side and glanced around curiously, there were several manuscripts in front of Eric and on the piano table, which seemed to be sheet music, Cameron and Eric each had a pencil in their hands at this time, and those manuscripts were also full of annotations.

Seeing the girl's eyes swept around and landed on Cameron, Eric smiled and introduced them: "Now, this is Christina Aguilera, oh, this is James Cameron, you must have heard of it." ”

"Of course," Christina nodded, and although she had just subconsciously sided with Eric, the girl still stretched out her little hand and said, "Hello, Director Cameron, I like your movie very much." ”

"Oh, yes," Cameron said, shaking Christina's small hand, jokingly, "You don't look old enough to watch my movies." ”

Before "Titanic", Cameron's films were all R-rated except for "The Abyss", which was more street-topping, that is, children under the age of 17 needed to be accompanied by their parents. He didn't think that the little girl in front of him, who was just over 1.5 meters tall, had seen his movie, or, even if he did, he probably wouldn't like it too much.

As he spoke, Cameron turned his gaze to Eric again, and since Eric had called the girl to his side, he was sure that this was the person Eric was looking for.

These days, Eric spends his free time every night composing the lyrics and music of "My Heart Eternal", and today the basic work has been completed, although he and Cameron have been able to hum the tune, but it is really difficult for the two big men to sing the charm of "My Heart is Eternal", Cameron proposed to find a female singer to try, Eric immediately thought of Christina, who had just joined the group a few days ago.

Not to mention Christina's powerful singing skills at a young age in the original time and space that were enough to squeeze into the '100 greatest singers of all time', from the beginning of her contact with music, Christina imitated the route of Whitney Houston, Mary Carey and other diva-level female singers, so although she does not have Celine Dion's natural voice, in terms of singing skills, she is not inferior to Celine Dion, a singer with a single musical style.

Eric sorted out the score in front of him and explained, "Jim, we're just looking for a girl to try out the song, and, I assure you, Christina is definitely the best singer in our entire crew." ”

"Well, I hope so," Cameron's just trying out the song anyway, and Cameron wouldn't be too serious with Eric.

Eric smiled and asked Christina next to him, "Four years ago, Whitney Houston starred in "The Bodyguard", can you sing the theme song of that movie?"

Christina said, "Is it I-Will-Always-Love-You?"

Eric nodded, waved at Cameron, and smiled, "Show Jim a couple of words." ”

Although "I-Will-Always-Love-You" sings differently from "My Heart Eternal", the two songs are both lyrical songs, and "I-Will-Always-Love-You" is even more difficult to sing than "My Heart is Eternal", Cameron also loves music, it is impossible not to know this.

Since she was eight years old, Christina has been on stage frequently, and Christina has no stage fright in her heart, she takes two steps back, brews her emotions, and starts singing.

If-I-should-stay

I-would-only-be-in-your-way

So-I\'ll-go-but-I-know

I\'ll-think-of-you-every-step-of-the-way

……

Cameron originally looked like he was watching the show with great interest, but as the explosive and rich soprano almost identical to Whitney Houston sang out of the mouth of the petite girl in front of him, Cameron quickly put away his disapproving expression, and even looked Christina up and down in surprise, as if to explore how the small body in front of him showed such a powerful explosive power.

There was still a lot of work to be done, but Eric didn't have the patience to wait for Christina to finish singing, and when Cameron's expression began to change, Eric interrupted the girl with a smile and said, "Okay, that's it." ”

Christina paused, and quickly put away her voice, she still thought that she was singing badly, blinked her eyes, and stood in place, with a little confusion flashing in her eyes.

Cameron began to 'fight' for Christina this time, saying, "Hey, Eric, why don't you let Christina finish singing, you're so rude." ”

Eric no longer paid attention to this 'former and backward' guy, and said to Christina: "It's okay, you sing very well, it's just that we're a little in a hurry, come, take a look at these scores first, and sing them for us later." ”

Realizing that there was nothing wrong with her, Christina relaxed, smiled politely at Cameron, who was speaking for her, and walked over to take the score from Eric's hand.

"This is the theme song for a movie I just wrote, and Jim wants to hear the effect, so I'm calling you here," Eric said, seeing Christina standing next to him looking at the score, he turned his head to Cameron who was leaning against the piano on the other side and said, "Man, can you move a chair for our little singer?"

"Ah, I, I'll do it myself," Christina, who had already started humming quietly, heard this, and hurriedly said, she didn't dare to let a big director like Cameron move the chair for her.

However, before the girl could move, Cameron had already handed over a chair behind him and said, "Now, little one, oh no, Christina, go on." ”

The very heavy solid wood back chair, Cameron didn't feel anything when he picked it up, and handed it over with a big grin, but Christina picked it up but it was not so easy, Eric quickly got up and helped put the chair behind Christina.

Christina sat down and began to read the sheet music carefully, although she had no talent for composing, she had been taking music lessons non-stop for many years, and the score was still easy to read.

Seeing the girl's appearance of looking down at the score, Eric knew that he might have to wait for a while, so he took advantage of this gap to get up and walked to the refrigerator, poured two glasses of whiskey and a glass of juice, walked over and handed it to Cameron and Christina, held a glass for himself, chatted casually with Cameron, and said: "I think the arrangement at the beginning, you can consider the Scottish whistle, this instrument appears a few times in the play, and it fits well with the female chant at the end of the plot." ”

"Scottish whistle," Cameron thought for a moment, "Oh, I remember, James did say, is there such an instrument here?"

"I don't know if you can buy it in Venice, if you want to hear the effect, you can ask the assistant to find it tomorrow." ”

Cameron nodded, seeing that Christina was still reading the score sentence by sentence, and said, "Eric, this is too slow, why don't you sing it to her, I think Christina will learn it after listening to it once or twice." ”

Eric looked at Christina, saw the girl nodding, took the score and said, "Okay, I'll sing it first, you can listen to it." ”

Christina's musical talent is really strong, Eric just sang a cappella in a whisper, Christina can roughly follow the lyrics, Eric directed some pronunciation methods for girls, practiced a few times, and with Eric's piano accompaniment, Eric and Cameron heard "My Heart is Eternal" from a professional female singer.

Because Christina deliberately suppressed her voice, according to Eric's requirements, she did not show the somewhat masculine fierce anger that she is good at, so the girl's cover of "My Heart is Eternal" really has a bit of Celine Dion's natural charm, at least Eric and Cameron are very satisfied with listening to it.

Christina's voice fell for the third time, and Cameron clapped his hands and said excitedly: "Great, very good, Eric, I decided, I will use this song as the ending song of "Titanic". Well, I think I should have made this piece before the Venice Film Festival, because this song and the film are a perfect match, and I don't want to wait for a moment, and tomorrow I'll fly back to Los Angeles and let James arrange the music as soon as possible, and try to get it done before the festival opens. ”

This kind of song is still very laborious, after Christina finished singing, she was holding the juice and taking a sip, and she was a little surprised to hear Cameron say that this song was going to be the theme song of "Titanic", although many people are singing that "Titanic" will be the next "Future Water World", but this is a super blockbuster costing $215 million after all, if you can sing the theme song of such a film, then ......

With thought to herself, Christina put down her glass without a trace and looked at Eric with a wink.

"There are still twenty days before the opening ceremony, I think, if you rush a little, it should be fine," Eric also nodded, Cameron originally planned to make this song slowly if it was suitable, but at this time, on a whim, he was not opposed to making "Titanic" more perfect at the opening ceremony premiere of the Venice Film Festival, so he replied, at the same time, feeling Christina's little face looking at him with anticipation, Eric smiled, reached out and pinched Christina's face, and said: " Don't think about it, this song is not for you, and you can't go down the path of lyrical songs. Firefly Records will send you a single at the end of the year, so let's work hard according to the route prepared for you by the company. ”

Christina shrunk her neck, but she didn't resist Eric's slightly intimate movements at all, and smiled, "Well, I see, Eric. ”

Cameron sensitively noticed the interaction between the two, his eyes flashed, he raised his hand to look at his watch, and before he knew it, the time was already a quarter past nine in the evening.

"Alright, Eric, I'll go back and get ready now, and fly back to Los Angeles tomorrow," Cameron finished the whiskey in his glass, straightened up, and beckoned to Christina, "Good night." ”

Christina politely replied, "Good night, Mr. Cameron." ”

Eric got up and sent Cameron to the door.

Seeing that Christina didn't follow, Cameron stretched out his hand to pull Erekla out of the door and asked in a low voice, "Hey, Eric, although I don't want to interfere in your private affairs, but ......" Pointing into the room, Cameron lowered his voice a little more, and said, "How old is she?"

Eric shrugged helplessly and said, "Sixteen." ”

"Really?" Cameron was a little unconvinced, after all, Christina, who was only about one and a half meters tall, seemed to be a little too petite compared to the general height of Western girls.

"Of course," said Eric, nodding firmly, "and, Jim, I haven't touched her, and on the whole, I'm pretty serious." ”

Cameron also knew that Eric didn't need to lie to him about these things, shrugged his shoulders, and suddenly made a face-pinching motion in the void, and smiled: "You really haven't touched her?"

Eric smiled and reached out to hammer Cameron on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, go back and book a plane ticket, and get back to Los Angeles tomorrow to work for me." ”

"Hey, you guy," Cameron wasn't annoyed, and after a few more casual conversations with Eric, he left.

Eric returned to his suite, where Christina was still sitting in the same chair as she was reading the score, looking like a good girl.

Walking to the piano, Eric casually played the keys a few times and said, "Let's go, Christina, I'll send you back, you seem to be staying in the hotel on the street, right?"

Christina, who was originally pretending to be pretending, raised her little head, her face was slightly red, but she mustered up the courage to say, "Eric, can I stay?"

"Well, how old are you?" asked Eric.

"Sixteen," Christina replied with a smile in her eyes flashing, still mimicking Eric's tone of voice when she had just answered Cameron.

Eric smiled, reached out and pinched Christina's face again, and said, "It's not a good habit to eavesdrop on other people's conversations. ”

Christina boldly grabbed Eric's hand and pressed it to her chest this time, blinked, stared at Eric, her face was even more ruddy, and said, "Then, Eric, you punish me." (To be continued.) )
