RCA, the full name of RadioCorporation of America, Chinese translation is the American Broadcasting Record Company. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info was founded in 1919 by General Electric. In 1929, RCA acquired the Victor Record Company, thus opening the legendary and glorious voyage of the aircraft carrier of the recording industry.

Whether it is in classical music or pop music, RCA can be said to be a leader, with many famous artists and recording treasures, such as Elvis Presley, the greatest rock star of the last century, and this year's popular new generation of kings and queens Justin Timberlake and Britney Pierce are all part of the RCA artist list. Over the years, RCA has contributed to the development of the recording industry in the last century, and it is fair to say that without RCA, we would not be able to see the current prosperity and glory of the recording industry.

However, the hero will eventually grow old, and the epic will eventually decay. In the seventies and eighties of the last century, RCA began to show signs of decline, and its development was lackluster.

It wasn't until 1987 that RCA was acquired by the German BMG Records, and the former king of the recording industry set sail again. At this point, BMG Group has completed its ambitious hegemony and has become one of the top five record labels in the world, along with Warner Records, Universal Music, EMI and Sony Music. Last year, in 2004, BMG and Sony Music merged and won the throne of the world's largest record label in one fell swoop.

There are many reasons why Li Mingcheng chose RCA as a springboard for his rise to fame. Its unrivalled influence is one thing, and its distribution channels around the world are the other thing, but the most important thing is that RCA is the friendliest for new artists among the big five or four major record companies in the world. RCA is much more accessible than other record industry giants, willing to find new talent, bold in new talent, diligent in nurturing new talent, and Taylor Swift, who was recently offered a record deal from it, is a good example.

Picking up the surprise of the second day of the encounter, Li Mingcheng and Daisy stepped into the hall of the RCA headquarters.

The spacious and bright hall is decorated in a simple but not shabby, and the silver-gray walls on both sides are plastered with album covers from RCA, which fans have revered as masterpieces, revealing its historical heritage as a century-old giant. Looking at these huge posters, you seem to be witnessing the vigorous and magnificent development history of the modern record industry.

The receptionist behind the front desk in the hall was a beautiful blonde girl of about twenty-five years old, and when she saw Li Mingcheng and Daisy walking in, she had a professional smile on her face, and her pleasant voice made people feel like a spring breeze:

"Good afternoon, you two, this is RCA, how can I help you?"

Li Mingcheng stepped forward, smiled, and said, "Hello, I'm here for an interview." ”

Seeing the puzzled expression on the face of the receptionist, Li Mingcheng continued: "Actually, I am an original singer, I want to show my talent to your company, and if I can, I very much hope to get a record contract from your company." ”

"Well, I see." The receptionist nodded, "Do you have an appointment in advance?" Or do you have a producer you can get in touch with? ”

Li Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, and slowly shook his head: "Uh...... It doesn't seem to be. ”

"It's sad to say that, but I have to tell you, I'm sorry, you may have made a trip for nothing......" The receptionist had an apologetic look on her face.

That's embarrassing. I should have thought of this a long time ago. I should have contacted the company in advance or sent an email in advance to submit a reply or something, but I couldn't take care of anything when my brain was hot, and I forgot even this basic common sense.

However, Li Mingcheng didn't want to give up so easily.

"Maybe it's a bit rude, but can you please help me contact a producer who is available, anyone can be, I promise not to delay him too much, a song, just give me time for a song!" Li Mingcheng said earnestly.

"I'm sorry, this doesn't meet the company's rules, I can't do anything about it......" Miss receptionist shook her head.

Li Mingcheng was silent, did he really come for nothing?

"Hey! Miss Jenny, long time no see, you seem to be pretty again! A man's pleasant voice suddenly sounded behind him, "Who are these two strange friends?" Your relatives? ”

"Oh, Mr. Bob, what a time for you!" The receptionist, also known as Jenny, said happily, "Mr. Bob, this boy is actually an original singer, and he is here for an interview. ”

She tilted her head slightly and approached Li Mingcheng and whispered, "Little boy, you are so lucky, the opportunity you want has come!" ”

Li Mingcheng hurriedly turned his head, looked at the handsome middle-aged man who walked beside them, and said softly, "Bob...... Mr? Hello. ”

Bob ignored him, glanced at Li Mingcheng seriously, and then turned his head to Jenny and said, "He? You're not kidding, are you? How old is he? He turned his head to Li Mingcheng again: "Hey, young man, how old are you?" ”

"It's going to be fifteen in October this year." Li Mingcheng replied truthfully.

"Listen, he's only fourteen years old, and he's still a kid! What kind of music can a little kid write? Twinkle and twinkle? Bob pointed at Li Mingcheng and laughed.

Li Mingcheng was very calm about Bob's somewhat insulting questioning, he had long expected this situation, and his age was indeed a problem.

So Li Mingcheng, who was prepared, didn't get angry, just looked at Bob and said calmly: "Mr. Bob, you must know that there are no absolutes in everything, and age is never a problem for geniuses. ”

Li Mingcheng was extremely confident and even a little conceited when he said this, but he was full of confidence. Rebirth is his greatest asset, and having memories for more than ten years in the future is enough to afford his arrogance and arrogance at the moment.

"Genius?!" Bob was stunned for a moment, then laughed exaggeratedly, "Little friend, I think I've heard one of the funniest jokes of the century." ”

Bob laughed for a while, but found that the boy in front of him was still looking at him calmly, his eyes were calm and unwavering, and he was not ashamed or angry in the face of his teasing, just looking at him quietly.

Bob stopped smiling, and he felt that the boy really had a bit of an extraordinary taste.

No one spoke again, Jenny looked at Li Mingcheng and then at Bob with a worried look on her face, Daisy stared at Li Mingcheng with anxious eyes, her hands clenched her fists involuntarily, and her palms were soaked with sweat.

There was a long silence, and just when Jenny couldn't help but open her mouth to resolve the embarrassment, Bob suddenly spoke.

"Young man, you should feel glad that you met me today," he glanced at Li Mingcheng deeply, "Someone else will definitely kick you out when you finish what you just said!" ”

"But—I'm in a good mood today," he smiled, "so I'm willing to give you a chance!" ”

After being stunned for a few seconds, Li Mingcheng grinned, "Thank you, Mr. Bob!" He patted his chest, "Trust me, as long as it takes a song, I'll make you understand what the right decision you made at the moment!" ”

"Hehe, I hope so!" Bob Road.

Then he turned around and walked in the direction of the elevator, "Come with me, let me see if your strength is as strong as your self-confidence!" ”

Li Mingcheng didn't rush to catch up, but turned his head to Jenny and said with a smile: "Thank you, Miss Jenny, your heart is as bright and moving as your appearance!" ”

"Go, lad, don't let me down!" Jenny smiled and waved her fist at Li Mingcheng.

"Don't worry!"

After speaking, Li Mingcheng turned to his cousin, "You wait for me here for a while, I'll be back soon!" ”

"Well, go ahead, don't worry about me!" Daisy hugged Li Mingcheng and patted him on the shoulder, "Take out all your skills to make him stunned!" ”

"I will!" Li Mingcheng whispered in her ear.

……

Li Mingcheng looked around at the recording room he was in at the moment. I couldn't help but secretly admire, professional is really professional, and it looks much more advanced than the private recording studios I went to in my previous life.

"Sit down, lad." Bob took off his trench coat and hung it on the hanger, walked to the chair in front of the mixer and sat down, and behaved very friendly to Li Mingcheng, "It's a pity that you can't bring any water or anything here, otherwise I can treat you to a cup of coffee or something." ”

"You're so polite." Li Mingcheng walked to sit down opposite Bob with his guitar on his back and said with a smile.

"Actually, I just want you to moisten your throat, after all, I don't want you to cough in the middle of singing." Bob shrugged, "Okay, that's all for the chat, let's introduce yourself." ”

"My name is Leonardo, you can call me Leo." Li Mingcheng Road.

"Leo? Damn, I hate the name! Bob frowned, "My wife always has this name in front of me, and I suspect she likes him more than me!" ”

He scolded the words starting with "F" fiercely, "I think you should also know that it is the Leo who filmed "Titanic". ”

"Well, I know......" Li Mingcheng laughed awkwardly.

"But don't worry, I'm still very public-private, and your name I hate won't affect my judgment of your musical standards." Bob Road.

"That's really good news for me." Li Mingcheng breathed a sigh of relief, he was indeed a little worried just now.

"Okay, let's talk about it, what music are you good at?" Bob asked, "Country?" Ballad? Rock? Bruce? Or hip-hop? ”

Li Mingcheng tilted his head and thought about it seriously, and said slowly: "Although you may not believe it, in fact, I should be good at what you say." ”

"Yo, it looks like I've really met a genius!" Bob whistled, "Well, boy, I hope you won't regret saying that, because it takes me up a notch from you, and it means you're likely to be disappointed." ”

After a pause, Bob said with a serious expression: "Okay, genius boy, it's useless to talk more, let me see the music you are proud of." ”

"As you wish!"

Li Mingcheng took off the guitar, cocked Erlang's legs, and rested the guitar on his lap.

"So, here I go."
