308 [Hollywood Prodigy]
The surprise of meeting the Raymonds band quickly disappeared, because Wang Zijun found that he couldn't record songs with these four people. Because their punk style is so strong, the guitar playing is so rapid and irritable that they can't change it for a while, and they don't want to change it.
"Several, I think we should have a good talk." Wang Zijun faced these four punk fathers and said helplessly.
Drummer Richie. Raymond said, "Husband Wang, let's go back to rehearsal first, and come back in two days." ”
"Absolutely." Wang Zijun said.
Joey. Raymond patted Wang Zijun on the shoulder and said, "Husband Wang, I have to say, this song is great, although it doesn't match my appetite." ”
Wang Zijun smiled: "I can take it as your appreciation." ”
After the Raymonds band left, the personnel of the record company found Wang Zijun again. Because yesterday they just regarded Wang Zijun as a music lover who was rich and idle, and had nothing to do to record songs and play tickets.
But today they have seen the song "Hotel California" and immediately pay attention to it.
"Hello, husband Wang," a middle-aged balding guy found Wang, "I'm Ron, a record producer at Terrence Company. ”
"Hello, Ron's husband." Wang Zijun said.
Ron said, "Did Wang's husband record this song for his own collection or for commercial use?" ”
Wang Zijun asked, "Is there any difference?" ”。
Ron said, "I love this song and I'd like to buy it if I can." ”
Wang Zijun shook his head and said, "No, I don't lack that money." ”
Ron said, "No, it's not just a little bit of money. We don't buy it outright, I will give it to the popular singers of our company to sing, and Wang's husband can get the dividend royalties of the song. ”
"As I said, I'm not short of that money." Wang Zijun said.
Ron sighed, "Okay then. If I could, I would like to be the producer of Wang's husband's private record. You know, it's hard to get the best out of a song without a professional producer. I don't want this good song to be made into a shoddy record. ”
Wang Zijun said: "Thank you for your kindness. But I guess that's not necessary, I'm a music producer myself. Of course, when it comes to recording and mixing, I'm hoping that Ron's husband can help, after all, you know your crew better than I do. As for the rest, I can do it myself. ”
Ron asked, "Are you sure?" ”
"I confirm." Wang Zijun laughs, "I've already made a few records in Asia. ”
"Well, young man, if you want to sell this song in the future, you can always come back to me." Ron said regretfully.
A week later, Wang Zijun finally got the produced single record of "Hotel California". Thanks to Ron's help, the final effect of this song is great, but without the original quintet of the Eagle Band, Wang Zijun always feels a little awkward.
"Perfect, perfect," Ron exclaimed, "Wang, are you sure you just want to use it for your private collection?" Isn't that too wasteful? ”。
Through the contact in the past few days, Wang Zijun felt that this Ron was not bad, so he said: "To be honest, I just want to use it to show my face in the United States, of course, if I can make money, it will be good." I'm going to put it on TV and radio. ”
"Why didn't you say it earlier? I can help you. Ron chuckled quietly and said, "How about a private partnership, of course, not in the name of a corporation?" ”
Wang Zijun understood that this guy wanted to make extra money, and asked, "Can you solve the issue of distribution?" ”。
Ron said, "Of course, I'll do the rest, but I'll make a fifty percent profit. ”
Wang Zijun shook his head and said, "No, it's too high, I can find other companies to cooperate, their efficiency and effectiveness are much better than yours." ”
"Well, forty and a half, no less." Ron Road.
"Thirty percent." Wang Zijun said, "Don't treat me as one of those newcomers who just started in the industry and only knew how to sing." The work you need to do is tedious and doesn't require much investment. ”
"Forty percent, man, that's the lowest price." Ron said, "If you go to those companies, you will be at least 50% of the profits, and the more ruthless ones will take you 70% or 80%. Work with me, in addition to getting more money, the copyright of the song is still in your hands. ”
Wang Zijun shrugged and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your good news." ”
"Don't worry, we're going to draw up a contract now, and you go home and wait for my good news." Ron was about to draft the contract as he spoke, when he suddenly remembered something and turned around and said, "By the way, Husband Wang, you should have an English name so that everyone can remember you better." Zijun. King, O God, my tongue is knotted once you say it. ”,
"Let me think about it." Wang Zijun thought for a moment and said, "What do you think of Zachary?" ”
Ron raised an eyebrow and said, "Zachary, God's favorite, very good allegory." Well, Husband Zachary, I wish us a happy cooperation. ”
After signing the contract with Ron, Wang Zijun breathed a sigh of relief and took a car to Hollywood with Li Jinghao. Dragon and Tiger Film Company, Wang Zijun is also one of the shareholders, he has been here for so long, but he hasn't seen it yet.
Hollywood is in the northwest side of Los Angeles, Wang Zijun summoned a taxi and took out a note with the address to the driver.
The driver, who was of mixed South American descent and looked a little red, started the car and asked, "Hey, Asian, are you here to visit Hollywood?" I can introduce you to the tour guide. ”
"No, thank you." Wang Zijun said.
"The price is very fair, you can definitely rest assured of this," the driver turned back to talk to Wang Zijun while driving, "I only charge you two dollars for the intermediary fee." ”
"No, I don't need to...... Hey, be careful" Wang Zijun suddenly saw a young girl walk out, and the taxi was about to crash.
When the driver heard Wang Zijun's shout, he turned his head back with some hindsight, and hurriedly stepped on the brakes after seeing the situation.
The taxi let out a screeching brake sound, knocking the girl more than two meters away and falling to the ground unconscious.
"Oh,, I hit someone," the driver muttered to himself in despair.
"Idiot, go down and see if she's okay" Wang Zijun roared, opened the car door and ran out.
The girl lay on her back on the pavement, with a few minor abrasions on her body and a broken head that was bleeding incessantly. Before Wang Zijun could make a move, Li Jinghao had already picked up the girl and stuffed her into the taxi.
"Go to the hospital," Wang Zijun ordered after getting into the car.
The driver also reacted at this time and quickly turned to the direction of the hospital.
The girl who was injured by the collision had blonde hair and a good face, especially the legs were thin and long, and she looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old, and she was a beautiful and cute little Lori. However, no matter how Wang Zijun looked at it, he felt that this girl was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who this was.
This is Southern California, it's Hollywood, and it's normal to run into a few famous movie stars and singers in later generations.
When she arrived at the hospital, the girl quickly woke up, but at the time of the accident, she had a satchel cushion around her waist, and only suffered minor abrasions and concussions, in addition to some bruises, there was some bruise on her waist.
The police then rushed over, and after making the record, Wang Zijun walked into the ward and said to the girl: "I'm really sorry, the taxi I was in hit you." Hopefully you're okay. ”
"Nothing, it's not your fault." Little Lori said in a calm tone.
Wang Zijun said: "Hello, my name is Wang Zijun. The young lady ">, I haven't asked for your name yet." ”
The girl looked at him and asked rhetorically, "Can I think you're accosting me?" ”。
Wang Zijun was bored with himself, and said, "Whatever you think." ”
The girl said disdainfully: "If you want to soak me, I don't think you need to, unless you want to go to jail, because I'm only 12 years old." ”
Hell, at the age of twelve, why is the girl in the United States so precocious, Wang Zijun still thinks that she is at least fifteen.
Wang Zijun smiled: "Don't be sentimental, I'm not interested in little girls who haven't grown up." ”
The girl said: "Men are always duplicitous, I've seen a lot." ”
I'm rubbing, Wang Zijun is defeated, how can this Lori talk like eating gunpowder, so aggressive.
Wang Zijun didn't want to argue with her, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, goodbye, little guy." ”
As soon as Wang Zijun walked to the door of the ward, a middle-aged woman bumped in, threw herself on the hospital bed and kept asking, "Judy, my sweetheart, where are you hurt?" Does it still hurt? ”
"It's okay, you don't have to worry, it's just a minor injury." The girl said.
Judy?
Wang Zijun turned to look at the girl's face, and suddenly remembered who this girl was. Foster.
Judy. Foster's father ran away when he was a few months old, and later became particularly cold and hostile to men, and eventually became homosexual. She began filming commercials, TV series, and variety shows at the age of three, with a high IQ and precocious maturity, and was known as a Hollywood prodigy. Two years later, at the age of fourteen, she played a chick in the movie "Taxi Driver," which would earn her her first Hollywood nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
Of course, what Wang Zijun remembers most is the assassination of President Reagan and her lily attributes.
In 1981, a 25-year-old young man fired six shots at US President Ronald Reagan, three of which hit his entourage, paralyzing a White House secretary for life. This assassination case made the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union tense to the extreme, and after the truth of the matter was ascertained, it was ridiculous.
The reason why the murderer assassinated President Reagan was because of his crazy infatuation with Judy. Foster, who wants to assassinate the president like the protagonist of "Taxi Driver" in order to win over Judy. Foster's favorability. After the assassination of the president, the idiot did not hide it, but wrote love letters to Judy several times about his feat.
Wang Zijun thought it was very interesting, and on the first day he arrived in Hollywood, he actually met this Hollywood prodigy.
Eyes swept over Judy's slender legs, and then looked at her pitiful Lori face, Wang Zijun thought, maybe I can shoot "This Killer is Not Too Cold" first, and there are ready-made actors for the role of Mathilde.
