Chapter 36: The Birth of the Second Series

The next day, Xu Canhao got up early in the morning, went to the gym in the house, and exercised with music on. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info An hour later, I washed up and started making breakfast. Seeing that JZ hadn't gotten up yet, he started first, rummaged through the videotapes in the dark compartment of the TV wall, and chose the classic movie "Forrest Gump", and ate a fairly hearty breakfast while watching it. When the film was almost over, JZ walked to the living room with his eyes squinted, poured a cup of coffee, grabbed two slices of toast from the table, sat down at the table, and chewed stupidly.

"Wait and introduce two good friends to you, try to finish the song today, and stay up all night to finish it." JZ settled the breakfast and said to Xu Canhao while cleaning up the cup.

"Well, got.it." Xu Canhao looked at the TV, took a sip of freshly squeezed orange juice and replied.

It was almost noon when the two arrived at the company, and the two friends that JZ wanted to introduce were already waiting in the recording studio. As soon as Xu Canhao pushed open the door, there was a burst of familiar music inside, a popular crown single "bye.bye.bye" that has been playing everywhere in the past two months.

“oh,~carter! If you don't come again, I'm going to listen to this song and vomit. Siegel, the hellish maniac, like those goddamn little **s in Queens, has been going to have his name engraved on a sensational song for an hour. You know what, brother? The big black man in the yellow jumper complained and pulled hands with JZ, hugged and patted each other on the shoulder to say hello. Seeing Xu Canhao nodding at him, he said hello, Xu Canhao smiled at him and nodded. These gangsters with obvious gang marks on their bodies, in the past tense, still retain that inexplicable arrogance, Xu Canhao is used to it, and he doesn't care too much.

JZ walked over to the fat black man who was lying on his back in a chair with his eyes closed, and slapped his hand twice on his face. The man opened his eyes and saw that it was JZ, stood up, hugged each other, and greeted each other. JZ pushed aside the manuscript papers scattered on the sofa, sat down, pointed at Xu Canhao and said, "Eber, he is, say hello." ”

"Hey, young man, I finally see you, my name is Bini, Bini Siegel. My brothers told me to ask you for a signed T-shirt! You're our great little prince of Brooklyn now, haha! This fat big man, as soon as he came up, was a bear hug, hugged Xu Canhao, who had just reached his chest, in his arms, and squeezed his face on the two soft flesh on his chest.

"ho, ho~ Siegel, damn it! You goddamn lunatic! You're going to choke our boy. The big man next to him hurriedly came over and rescued Xu Canhao, who had a purple face. Hello, my name is West. Finally met a normal greeting, Xu Canhao breathed a sigh of relief, shook hands with him with a smile, and introduced himself. Since he has worked with JZ many times, he is already a star among half of the gang, and occasionally encounters these people on the street, and will take the initiative to greet him in a friendly manner.

"Hehe, my fault, I hope you don't mind the hospitality of the black uncle." Siegel smiled and patted Xu Canhao on the shoulder twice. Xu Canhao could only smile at him unnaturally in response.

The two took the manuscript of "You.Don't.Know" with JZ and complimented him, in fact, they just wanted to participate, and there was a paragraph that needed to be sung. Xu Canhao knew that the two of them had already regarded him as their own, so they would use this way to show their wishes. I exchanged glances with JZ and readily agreed. The four of them practiced in the studio for an afternoon, and only after dinner did they officially start recording, and it continued until 3 a.m. to complete the recording. is mainly Xu Canhao's problem, he can't reach the gangster singing voice in their minds, and the emotional singing style with the soul of the gangster. It wasn't until Xu Canhao took out his previous ruthlessness and found the correct expression of his feelings that he shocked several bigwigs. Seeing Xu Canhao's fierce eyes, his suddenly changing momentum, and his angry and complaining singing, the three of them stopped this over-the-top singing method. He also taught him how to control the feeling of rap according to the lyrics, rather than thinking about the picture. Excessive expressiveness will only make the song lose its original mood, and it is easy for people to dislike this kind of pretentious song. West told Xu Canhao about his experience and feelings of singing rap, so that he could slowly understand it (becoming an excellent raper requires high language and writing skills, and the conditions for understanding words and sentences, rhymes, and the use of rhymes are also quite harsh, so Xu Canhao can't write words independently now, and his rap skills are only stronger than ordinary street rapers in JZ's eyes).

After the recording ended, several people left one after another, Xu Canhao still followed JZ, and the MV shooting was going to be carried out two days later. During this period, the two of them had to follow the personnel who rented the venue to familiarize themselves with the environment, and if they did not meet the requirements, they had to ask professionals to set up, and the time was very rushed, and there was not much time left for JZ to release an album.

On this day, Xu Canhao studied mastering and album production at Roc-A, and after finishing a day's work, he and JZ and the three of them went to a speakeasy called B&W in Upper Manhattan #Eastside. It's a blues and jazz bar built on the basement floor, and it's mostly black, and the owner is JZ and their old buddies. As soon as Xu Canhao entered the door, he noticed a girl sitting on the small stage playing the piano and singing, her voice was soft and mellow, the bass could sing to the bottom, and the treble could soar to three octaves. Coupled with her unique style of jazz singing, Xu Canhao kept staring at her after sitting down, and JZ They joked that he had a crush on other girls. After the girl finished singing, she and her small band were about to leave, and Xu Canhao hurriedly got up and stopped them.

"Excuse me, miss, excuse me. I'll introduce myself first..."Xu Canhao greeted the three in front of him very politely and said.

"Oh, you're Felix, right!? Ha, I didn't expect to meet you here? I like your songs very much, well, I like you too...", this girl with a bit of East Asian descent said a little excitedly, and finally said that she liked Xu Canhao himself, and lowered her head a little shyly, her eyes uncertain.

"Hehe, thank you. Well, yes, I wonder if you're interested in becoming a professional singer? Xu Canhao looked at the petite and not beautiful girl in front of him with interest.

The girl, who was originally a little shy, looked at Xu Canhao fixedly, as if she couldn't believe it. The two bandmates behind him were overjoyed and excitedly high-fived each other. "I'm only going to invite you, though. Please think about it. After Xu Canhao finished speaking, regardless of the three people whose faces changed greatly, he walked to the bar, borrowed a pen and paper, wrote down Baiwen's address and his own number, and handed it to the girl.

"Oh, it's rude, haven't asked Miss what your name is?" Xu Canhao handed her a tissue and asked her.

"Nora, Norah Jones. Mr. Felix, we will consider giving you another reply, thank you. Nora quickly walked out of her fluctuating emotions, took the contact information and thanked Xu Canhao.

"Well, I'll be waiting for your call, hopefully it won't be too long." Xu Canhao gestured to make a phone call, waved his hand, said goodbye to the three of them, and returned to JZ and their table, and explained again.

The time quietly slipped to October, is.blog was officially launched, and JZ's album landed in the market for 3 weeks. At this time, due to the limitations of mobile phone technology and applications, the blog is more like an interactive space, an interactive community, and it cannot bring the living space so close and shape low-latency interaction like later generations. Xu Canhao incorporated the campus platform, company platform, community platform and other real circles into the network, weaving him into a huge network of communication and interaction, with independence and intersection areas. A group of celebrities were also invited to station, some to fulfill the obligations of friends, and some to pay. It's more like a certain space in China, a campus network, but it is a finished product as soon as it is listed. Of course, media systems such as photos and videos are indispensable, and IS is building a game department to develop web games. Due to the large injection of money from Wilson, Xu Canhao began to spend lavishly. The company building was built on West Long Island, and then several new departments were being opened, including a team to build the voice system, a dedicated creative and research department, advertising planning, and a news media department, in addition to game development. It was a long-term and arduous project with a huge investment, and the entire IS company began to be overloaded. Wilson owns 27.8 percent of IS's proposed market capitalization, second only to Simpson, except that he has not exercised his rights and he himself will not interfere with the operation of IS. There is also a small part of the shares in the hands of a few veteran backbone members of the company, these people are the cornerstone of IS, and if they go wrong, the company will collapse for the most part. This is also the reason why Xu Canhao is eager to inject new blood into the company, he doesn't like to have a sense of insecurity, and he doesn't like this kind of situation that he can't control by himself. Only with a large number of reserve talents and the ability to self-congest can it be called a large company and truly survive for a long time. And, after forming a good cycle, you no longer need to rely too much on one person, or a few people.

One week after JZ's album was released, "I.()" topped the charts, followed by "You.Don't.Know" with Seo Chan-ho. As soon as it was issued, Xu Canhao's personal blog space was blown up by fans. In a scene near the end of the MV, he lifted his white vest and spewed angrily at the camera, the neat six pieces, the cool expression, I don't know how many screams it attracted. and the tattoos he pasted also caused heated discussions, and later Xu Canhao took a video of himself, pasting a lot of cartoon and cute color tattoos on his face to sell cuteness, with mixed reputations, but the most harvested are female fans ranging from 10 to 40 years old.

As soon as the filming of the MV ended, Xu Canhao immediately devoted himself to the production of his album while it was hot. In addition to the included song "", which was contributed by an unknown songwriter Valence Spear, plus 9 songs plagiarized and covered by Xu Canhao in one go, it was once again produced into a total of 10 songs. Album title, "Vol.". Title song, "" (original). In addition, "", "Iyiyi", "(formerly One.Republic"), "Grenade", "(formerly J.B"), "(formerly Nelly", "Ohing", "Perfect" (original Pink"), changed to Chen Yitong's version). The lyrics of these songs have been changed to a greater or lesser extent, so that they can adapt to Xu Canhao's current age and gender. For example, "" was originally sung to his wife, but it was changed to an ex-girlfriend. (These are songs that he or his sister loves and sings.) Xu Canhao often misses the iTouch, which has more than 700 music videos, which is one of the items that he and his sister often compete for. Even if Daisy is no longer as excited about these songs that Xu Canhao came up with, she can't help but want to knock his head open to see if the structure inside is different from ordinary people. She can already imagine the album selling well and Xu Canhao winning countless trophies, so no matter how hard she works now, she is willing.

In October, the preliminary planning of the album was almost over, and even usher, who was on vacation, was invited to do feat and collaborate with Xu Canhao ", a song that was supposed to belong to him and J.B. Since the album will produce a music video for each song, which is expected to be released at the end of January next year, Xu Canhao simply extended his vacation and explained the situation to the professor. Usher had already heard of Xu Canhao's name, and he was also curious about this genius boy, and he was puzzled for a while when he received the invitation, but then he readily agreed, of course, not purely for money. After the two met, they didn't have much politeness, and they were even more amazed when they saw the album songs that Xu Canhao generously displayed. Immediately praised Xu Canhao as only in the sky, and it was rare to see him on the ground, and he was cheeky, but he only felt ashamed of the original works and songs of these songs, and apologized to everyone in his heart. Rising Usher was involved in the production of the album almost the entire time, and in his words, it was his honor. and Xu Canhao learned from each other while doing it, and when they were interested, even JZ, the big guy, was gorgeously ignored by him. Later, the two also collaborated on the song "one.thing" together, which made him take a small and fresh route.

The recording of the album went very smoothly, from the demo test to the official recording, the mastering was done in one go (the mastering was done at ROC-A, with the help of their equipment and engineers, both parties worked together), so that Usher praised Xu Canhao's songwriting ability, and each song was almost a complete finished product without many flaws. The song is no longer a record to worry about Xu Canhao, and he is ready to shoot the MV next, but Nora is here.

She seemed to have been pulled by the other two, and after Xu Canhao smiled and saw the three, the two were ready to leave. I didn't want to be stopped by Xu Canhao, so I asked the two of them to stay, try it out in the company for a while, and then arrange a suitable position after a while. The two of them immediately accepted it happily, hugged Nora, and jumped and jumped. Curly brown hair, glasses, singer-songwriter, band drummer, and also electric guitar. Lee., a skinny bassist with long black hair, is good at playing a variety of instrumental music. Xu Canhao asked the front desk to take them to familiarize themselves with the company, and after getting to know the company's staff, he let them into the recording studio. After introducing Usher and Daisy, he explained it to Daisy, and he himself forgot to talk to Daisy, and she complained about it.

Because of the album, there was no way to make a plan for Nora immediately, so Xu Chanhao asked the three of them to participate in the filming of the MV. "" is a piano, with a make-up Nora, done in an art gallery. "" is set indoors like the original, and it was shot with usher. The general plot of "" is that Xu Canhao is in the house where he lives with his ex-girlfriend, looking at familiar photos, used cups and other items worth remembering, a one-man show completed by himself. There are also interspersed with flashback scenes, where the heroine is a fashion model who was invited. Things like "Prefect", "Home" and "Home" were all done indoors, and it took two weeks to finish, and then we had to go outdoors to shoot. "Grenade" is still similar to the original story. "Iyiyi" is a collaboration song with Bini Siegel, and the plot is the same as the original. "Ohing" was completed in various scenic spots in Manhattan, and the interaction between Xu Canhao and Usher and fans is the highlight, especially Xu Canhao, an "old child" who can make trouble and play, and the whole tricks and laughter are full of laughter. "" was filmed on location in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, with Jesse and Lee as the band.

Everyone rushed to shoot day and night, and finally completed the shooting on Christmas Eve. It took just over two months to make the entire album, which is unimaginable for anyone, let alone a platinum record in the future. When Xu Canhao rushed back from Huangshi, he found that his body was almost no longer his own, completely mechanical at the mercy of others, if it wasn't for Christmas the next day, he really wanted to sleep with him in the dark. The high-intensity work made him physically and mentally exhausted, and at the same time, his dedication also amazed the people around him, and applauded him for being so talented and persevering at such a young age. As soon as he returned to the company, he was warmly cheered by Daisy's pre-arranged staff, who celebrated the completion of his second album and held a small party in the company. He won't need the rest of the work, Xu Canhao, who can finally rest, stayed at JZ's house for a few days, reading books and "Friends" every day, practicing the piano, and living comfortably until JZ's teeth itch. I went to IS Company for Christmas, and still sent warmth to the employees who stayed on duty, and returned to Baiwen and Daisy in the evening to spend their third Christmas together
