Marina's album Ye Luo is so carefully selected and slowly made.

Now Ye Luo, there is no need to catch up with the progress of making music, because as the owner of a record company, he already has enough good and enough people to run the entire record company.

After eating Morgan Records, with the current staffing of Beauty Company, even if there is no leaf fall, it is still a stable and high-ranking major label record company in the entire American record industry.

There are only a dozen major labels in the United States, and the record companies that can be among them are all standing at the top of the world's pop music, although there is still some distance from the peak, but this distance is not out of reach.

Morgan Records has a very mature production team, Damon. Sparker was originally one of them, and in this record company, Damon. Sparker is indeed the best, but slightly worse than him, but there are also five or six musicians above the standard.

The addition of these mature musicians has invisibly reduced the creative pressure of the beauty company.

Therefore, recently, even Ding Shaoyang is trying to slow down his hands and feet, hold his breath and release one or two high-quality albums, and go hand in hand with Ye Luo's albums in terms of sales.

Ye Luo is even more so, he is making an album now, or he doesn't do it, and it must be the best of the best, and he is not afraid to spend more time.

For Marina's album, Ye Luo's goal is to sell more than 50 million copies in the U.S. market.

This goal is just buried in the heart. Don't dare to say it. Because there are only more than 300 million people in the United States, which is equivalent to one in six people going to pay for this album, this goal is actually very exaggerated.

Relatively speaking, China's music market is limited by the legitimate consciousness of music fans, while the United States is on the side. The sense of authenticity is strong, but it is limited by the total population.

Of course, Ye Luo's slow record is not only because he wants to keep improving, but also because there are a lot of other things.

The most involved in Ye Luo's energy is naturally the show "Music Rescue".

He doesn't have to be a music producer for the time being, but he can't run the work of a judge. The first episode will be broadcast on the 20th of this month, and the meetings recorded before. It's just the leftovers of the show, and the main dish hasn't been recorded yet.

On this morning, Ye Luo sat in the studio and began to officially record the first episode of the program.

At present, there are sixteen singers in total, and if you really want to decide the top four, in fact, two rounds are enough, and sixteen into eight. Eight into four, if the arrangement is tighter. Two episodes will do it.

But "Music Rescue" is a show with 30 episodes in one season, and Yang Yuanshan didn't want to do it for so long, the broadcast cycle was too long. Unfortunately, American Idol has 30 issues this year, so NBC also ordered 30 issues at once.

If the top four are decided in the first two issues, and the next twenty-eight issues will fall, then the leaves must be crazy. How many good songs do you have to spend to fill this show, it's too cost-effective.

Therefore, sixteen singers have to compete for more than ten rounds to determine the final four, the first four issues. Only one will be eliminated in each issue.

In the first four issues, four singers appeared in each issue, and each singer wrote two songs. One is the masterpiece of their previous careers, or the best work they have sung, and the other is Damon. Spark's carefully selected works for them and then tailored adaptations are not original, but they actually have a certain proportion of creation.

These two songs are actually to show their original level.

In order to have highlights in each issue, Abigail. Livingston, Henry. Dean, Shiryl. Smith, Joseph. Rice, the four singers who are better than others, were inserted into the first four episodes.

This is equivalent to dividing the sixteen singers into four groups, each group in the first four periods, the top three qualify, and the last one is eliminated. Then there are twelve singers left, which can be regarded as qualifying from the group and entering the points round-robin after that.

Today, as the first episode to be recorded, the four singers sing two songs each, of course, the live version of Qin Shiyue's "Hero" at the beginning also had to be recorded, which was to be broadcast as the opening song.

Ye Luo played the piano in the studio hall and personally accompanied Qin Shiyue, and in the interweaving of shots and melodies, this song was interpreted by Qin Shiyue with great emotion.

After this song, Ye Luo's remaining task today is to sit on the judges' bench and pretend to be a god with his face twisted.

Because the decision of the first four phases of elimination is not here with the judges, but with the audience.

In fact, in this show, who is eliminated and who is left behind is all decided by the audience, and the judges generally only have the right to comment and the right to build.

"Still." When announcing the rules, the host added, "Our savior of this season's music career, Mr. Ye Luo, has the right to save in his hands.

If he thinks that the singer who was eliminated in this issue deserves to be saved, he will give the singer a new song.

This new song will be used as the opening song of the next episode, and then the audience will vote instantly, if more than 80% of the audience at the scene approves of the singer's performance, then, he will be saved and sent to the next stage of the competition by Mr. Ye Luo.

Is that right, Mr. Ye Luo? ā€

Ye Luo nodded at the judges' seat: "Yes." However, I will be very cautious in using my right to salvation.

So, singers, you still have to rely on yourselves. When you encounter difficulties, the premise of waiting for others to save you is to start self-help first. ā€

"Ok, first of all, let's have the first professional singer of the evening, Abigail. Livingston. ā€

The seeded player of the first phase is this middle-aged black woman, Abigail. Livingston.

In the first stage of the competition, the right to save in Ye Luo's hands was actually mainly prepared for these four seeded players. Once they have an accident. Ye Luo has the power to give them another chance.

Because of these four people, the overall strength is indeed higher than that of the other twelve people.

Of course, Ye Luo will also be very objective, if their psychological quality is not good, and they sing directly on the spot, then Ye Luo can only stand by and watch. Because no matter how good the technology is. If the psychology is not good, the possibility of collapsing in the end is still very high, and Ye Luo will not take this risk.

Abigail. Livingston is Ye Luo's more optimistic singer, her skills are very skilled, and in Ye Luo's opinion, she is the most stable of the four seeded players.

Ye Luo didn't want to use his right to save in the first issue, because saving was a very precious opportunity, whether it was Ye Luo or the program system. I don't want to give the audience the impression that the right to save is very cheap.

The first phase sent Abigail. Livingston, it is precisely because of her technical stability that she has the lowest probability of dropping the chain.

Abigail. Livingston's first round tonight did not live up to Ye Luo's expectations, and she did not take any chances, but chose a decent song, sung steadily, mellow mezzo-soprano with skillful soul skills. Very charming.

Just when Ye Luo thought that he could make soy sauce with peace of mind, an accident happened.

Three other singers tonight. Collective super-god!

As a judge, Ye Luo will not participate in the rehearsal of the singer in the competition stage, and he does not know the preparation of the other three singers today.

As a result of these three singers, two men and one woman, the effect on the stage was Damon. Spark's elaborate design. It's not your average.

After all, they are all professional singers, and the meeting is just a cappella after all, and they really go out on stage, showing what they are best at, these professional singers are not vegetarians.

So. On the contrary, Abigail seems to be relatively mediocre, and she is too conservative in her song selection tonight.

At the end of the first round of singing, Abigail stood on the edge of the cliff.

In the second round, Abigail began to show her strength as a seeded contestant, singing a high-pitched song with great grandeur.

Abigail's treble is not necessarily very high, at least in Ye Luo's eyes, there is a gap between her and Song Yan, but one of her characteristics is that her voice is very rich, full of timbre, full of breath, and she can sing a song very "big".

As soon as this song was taken out, Ye Luo felt more stable again.

As a result, the other three singers were also like eight immortals crossing the sea, and none of them were bad in the second round, Ye Luo, Qin Shiyue, and Lawrence listened to it and found that even if Abigail was the strongest in this round, it was also very strong.

Judging from the two rounds, in fact, the four singers are basically tied in terms of singing tonight.

"The performance of these four singers tonight is worthy of Mr. Ye Luo's right to save." In between audience voting, Lawrence said.

"yes." Qin Shiyue nodded, "After all, it's just two songs, and as a professional singer, everyone has the skills to be proud." There is still a great possibility that the two best songs will go hand in hand.

In this way, Abigail has no advantage. ā€

"Hmm." Lawrence said, "Abigail's career woes are not particularly sympathetic to the other three. And her appearance has no advantage, if her singing skills don't stand out, it will be very dangerous. ā€

"Don't be so pessimistic." Ye Luo said with a smile, "At least the quality of this first episode of the program is still very good, and the music effect is much better than I expected, Damon, this kid can." ā€

"What I'm worried about right now is the level of the show." Lawrence said, "The four singers in the first episode are so good, which is helpful for the ratings of the second episode, but if the quality of the subsequent episodes can't keep up, it will be a problem." ā€

"It's okay, as long as Ye Luo uses the right to save more." Qin Shiyue said with a smile, "The audience just listens to the opening song in each episode, and that is enough, and the ratings will definitely rise steadily." ā€

"Mr. Ye's ability, I don't doubt it." Lawrence smiled and said to Ye Luo, "Recently, our whole family has been listening to your album. My daughter is obsessed with you, Mr. Ye, my daughter asked me to ask you, do you have a girlfriend?

If not, don't mind waiting for her for five years, she's only thirteen years old this year. ā€

"Mr. Lawrence, you're too good at joking." Ye Luo laughed for a while.

After a bit of small talk, the voting results for this episode of the show came out.

The votes of the four singers were very close, while Abigail. Livingston, unfortunately, came in last.

All four singers on stage stood to meet the result, Abigail broke down on the spot, crying all the time, and the other three singers comforted her.

"Mr. Ye Luo, the decision now is up to you, whether you can save Abigail or not. Livingston? The host asked Ye Luodao.

Ye Luo looked at the two judges beside him: "What do you think?" ā€

"I think Abigail's table tonight deserves to be saved." Lawrence said, "Mr. Ye, you should give her another chance." ā€

"Abigail's singing tonight was flawless, and she has done her best within the limits of the song itself." Qin Shiyue said, "Such a singer should not be abandoned by fate, let alone missed by excellent music producers, Ye Luo, I will build yƬ you to save him." ā€

Ye Luo nodded, and then said with a solemn face: "Abigail, I can give you another chance, but this is the last time, next, it's up to you." (A pie-in-the-sky event, cool phones are waiting for you!)
