Chapter 21 Identity

Li Mingcheng suddenly felt that he had become an idler. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

U.S. law is quite detailed and strict in terms of visas, and if you apply for a visa before entering the country, you can only carry out activities related to the type of visa you apply for when you enter the United States. For example, Li Mingcheng holds a tourist visa to visit relatives, so even if he has signed a contract with Big Machine Records, he can't start recording albums immediately, unless he wants to be permanently blacklisted by U.S. visa officers.

However, Scott is happy to accept the current situation. The main reason is that the internal situation of Big Machine Records is really embarrassing, and there is a serious shortage of liquidity and manpower. Now the whole company is a bit overloaded with support for Taylor's album recording, and if Li Mingcheng is added, it is really beyond his strength. Scott also didn't want to put his entire fortune on the company he founded and go bankrupt before his first birthday. That would be an irreparable blow to his life.

After communicating with another shareholder of the company, Scott decided that the company's focus would shift to recording Taylor Swift's first solo album of the same name. According to the original company's schedule, this album will be officially recorded at the beginning of next year, and the first warm-up single "Tim McRow" will be released in the summer as the album's first title song to participate in the charts, stirring up popularity and attracting potential audiences, and taking advantage of the situation to officially launch the entire album in October, striving to help Taylor and the company get off to a good start.

But now, because of Li Mingcheng's joining, all this will be carried out in advance.

So when the time entered August, the whole big machine began to run hotly and busily. Taylor and Nathan are undoubtedly the busiest two people in the company, basically as long as Li Mingcheng goes around the recording studio, he can see that the two of them are concentrating on recording songs, or arguing about how to handle the songs. Fortunately, Taylor is worthy of her title as a creative talent in the future, and easily took out a songbook full of original songs, enough for Nathan to select 14 masterpieces from them to form a stylistically suitable album, otherwise the company would have to squeeze out some of the already tight manpower and financial resources to collect songs for it, which would be a big burden for the company.

So although Li Mingcheng said that he officially joined the big machine, his life has not changed much. Occasionally I go to the company to hang out, and the rest of the time I play with Daisy, but the performance videos on Youtube are still kept up to date, which is also the job that Scott gave him. People engaged in work related to literature and art are often more trendy in their thinking, not to mention that the United States is the most developed country in the world in terms of information technology, and the impact of the birth of the Internet on life is more vividly reflected in this country than in any other place in the world. Scott is also one of the tens of millions of netizens in the new era in the United States, and after seeing the popularity of Li Mingcheng's performance video on the Internet, he immediately decided to let Li Mingcheng continue this activity, which can be regarded as a disguised advance publicity.

This made Li Mingcheng have some admiration for Scott. Unexpectedly, he could think of the Internet, which is an indispensable weapon for publicity and hype in the future, through the current little signs.

Sure enough, you still can't underestimate the heroes of the world, life is not YY, it doesn't mean that you can easily drink and talk with Middle Eastern oil tycoons when you are reborn, become a guest of the Arab royal family, and compete with Wall Street financial giants, these rebirth novels and film and television dramas that Li Mingcheng has seen in his previous life are not strategies for him now, but poison, in these unknown areas, you can play with more than ten years of information and forward-looking in the future, and there are many capable people who can easily crush you to the scum.

So let's be a singer with peace of mind. In any case, it can be regarded as the field that I know and is good at, and the competition in this circle will not at least end up with no bones like officialdom and shopping malls.

What's more, in this circle, there is also the girl who broke into her dream and made her want to hold hands with her.

Many times, Li Mingcheng stood outside the recording studio, looking at Taylor across the glass from him, and often imagined that one day in the future, he and her would join hands on the Grammy podium, bathed in the dazzling lights of the venue, and greet the adoring and blessed eyes of music fans all over the United States and even the world, it should be a scene that makes people's hearts beat faster just thinking about it.

…………

On this day, Li Mingcheng went to the company to "check in" as usual, and happened to run into Nathan's temporary business, so he was invited by Taylor to the recording studio to listen to the second title song of the album she was recording.

The song is titled "TearsdtopsOnMyGuitar" and is said to be another song written for a boy she once had a crush on.

Standing in the recording studio and listening to the girl's complaining singing from the headphones, Li Mingcheng suddenly remembered a serious problem that he had been deliberately ignoring.

In her previous life, although she was impeccable in music, her personal love life has always been criticized, and she is alive and well as a female version of a flowery carrot, and her boyfriend is enough to fit a truckload. is such a dick, can accomplish feats that so many male gods have not accomplished, and become the terminator of her feelings? Isn't that a bit too self-conscious?

Looking at the girl on the other side of the glass who was immersed in music, Li Mingcheng felt a headache.

Can her faint little meteorite, even if it deviates from the established orbit, hit her radiant trajectory?

"What do you think?" In deep thought, someone next to him suddenly asked.

Li Mingcheng turned his head in surprise and looked at the tall middle-aged man next to him who didn't know when he appeared in the recording room, and was stunned for a moment after seeing his appearance clearly.

Li Mingcheng has a little impression of this man, he is another shareholder of the company, and the company's only two private offices, one belongs to the company's founder Scott, and the other belongs to him. It's just that he doesn't come to the company often, and Li Mingcheng sees him very few times, so Li Mingcheng needs to remember his identity for a while after seeing him.

So Li Mingcheng tilted his head sideways and thought about it and replied: "Well, in general, the melody of the song is very good, and the lyrics and songs fit very well, but I think she has a little problem with the handling of the song, the theme of this song is secret love, and she should be emotionally restrained, her handling is too outgoing, it doesn't feel very right, and it has some ...... impact."

"I didn't ask you this!" The man glanced at Li Mingcheng and interrupted Li Mingcheng's tirade. He snorted at Taylor on the other end of the soundproof glass and said, "I'm asking about her, what do you think of her?" ā€

"Huh?" Li Mingcheng was stunned. Big brother, you don't play cards according to the routine!

However, the man ignored Li Mingcheng's surprise, took a step forward, and bent down slightly to further narrow the distance between the two. He stared straight into Li Mingcheng's eyes with a pair of eyes, and then lightly threw out a more exciting question: "You like her, right?" ā€

Li Mingcheng's brain crashed instantly, what is the situation? Do you want to strangle your relationship in the cradle? No, I haven't heard that American entertainment companies can also interfere with the emotional problems of their artists! Besides, doesn't the American entertainment industry like to hype celebrity romances the most?

"How is that possible!!" Li Mingcheng subconsciously screamed, and at the same time, it was also to cover up his weakness after being seen through.

"Really?" There was a slight smile on the man's face.

Laugh, laugh, laugh at your sister!

If he could, Li Mingcheng would like to take a set of Bajiquan on a man's face.

"What are you talking about? It seems like a very happy topic, so you can't be saying bad things about me, right? Taylor, who had finished singing a song, opened the door and walked out of the inner room, saying with a smile.

"Of course not, we ......"

Li Mingcheng came back to his senses, and just as he wanted to explain, he saw the blonde girl walking up to the middle-aged man with her long legs and holding his arm intimately.

Li Mingcheng's prepared words choked in his throat, and a wave of vinegar surged up in his chest.

Then he heard the girl look at the man with a coquettish tone and smile: "Dad, when did you come, why didn't you tell me in advance?" ā€

"Daddy?!" Li Mingcheng was dumbfounded.
