Chapter 70: Sunshine in Los Angeles
(Thank you for the reward of Xuanwu Caisoul xi, dear, thank you and I am Wang texi for helping Xiao Han speak in the book review area, thank you very much!) Thank you for the collection and recommendation votes of the deceased, bow at 90 degrees, Kang Sanmida! Ten miles of painting sand 1xi, Xiao Han is still visiting relatives in the field, returning home on the seventh night of the new year, let's have a small outbreak on the eighth day of the new year, it's good! )
One day in late January 2009, the streets of Los Angeles were bustling with cars.
The homeless men had just woken up, dejectedly packing up the cardboard boxes they had slept in the previous night, pretending to be making up the warm beds.
Office workers flocked to the CBD from all directions, with whites, blacks and yellows mixed in, most of them holding documents from last night's overtime in one hand and Starbucks coffee in the other.
At 9 a.m. local time, the flow of vehicles and people on the street was instantly reduced, and white-collar workers had already poured into the high-rise buildings to start their day's work.
The January sun in Los Angeles hung feebly in the sky, the temperature was still very low, and the sun was a little ...... Bland!
If you stand on the street that has suddenly become idle and look north, you will faintly see the mountain and the word "Hollywood" on the mountain!
There, it's a dream for many people!
A nanny car comes from the end of the long street, stops in front of a building, the door opens, and Bao'er in sunglasses walks down from inside!
Standing in front of the nanny car and looking at the tall building in front of her and the "CAA" sign on the building, Bao'er took off her sunglasses and was a little stunned!
She still remembers when she first came to the United States, full of confidence, thinking that she would definitely be a member of this building, but she couldn't even enter the door today!
CAA, an innovative talent agency, is the world's No. 1 elite talent agency!
It may be too thin to remember, but if it occupies half of Hollywood, its stars include TV and film, music and sports, including Sarah Brightman, Bob Dylan, David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo, LeBron James, and more!
This is a real brokerage company with strong foundation, resources and capital strength!
The stars who can be signed by CAA are all popular all over the world, in other words, if an artist can sign a contract with this company, it will be a matter of time before he becomes popular all over the world!
When Boa first came to the United States, she was already a superstar all over Asia, but this is still not enough in the eyes of CAA, compared with Sarah Brightman and Beckham, Boa is not a little worse!
So, she was ruthlessly turned away, and it began for several years!
At the beginning, Baoa said that she went to the United States to open a door and bring Korean entertainment into the United States.
In fact, after so many years, Bao'er no longer expects to be able to walk here, even if it is to be able to sign a contract with a second-rate American brokerage company!
However, there is nothing, first-class, second-rate brokerage companies don't look down on her, and she doesn't look down on third-rate brokerage companies that take the initiative to come to her door - those brokerage companies only look at Asia behind her, and they don't want to package her to let her enter the American market, which is not what Bao'er wants!
Who knows, when Wuli Bao'er was already dead, CAA took the initiative to contact her!
"You can still walk through this door...... Fate......" Bao'er smiled helplessly, then put on her sunglasses again, and took out the pride of belonging to the Asian superstar in her body!
Must be proud, because she is not here today to represent herself, but ...... Zheng Fat Bear!
Fat Bear is the pride of the Zheng family, the pride of the whole South Korea, and of course the pride of her Quan Baoer, so the dead fat man is not there, and she, as a sister, must maintain the pride of Zheng Fat Bear!
Wuli Fat Bear, no matter where you go, you can't be looked down upon, right!
……
The person who received Bao'er was a woman, a black man, named Ashley Smith, about forty years old, very shrewd and capable, and she was the one who called Bao'er yesterday!
Speaking of which, this woman is not simple, and MaggieQ, an Asian girl who has become popular all over the world in recent years, was created by her!
"Hello!" Boa politely held out her hand first.
"Hello!" Ashley smiled and shook her hand.
The two of them sat down, two cups of coffee were served, and the smell filled the entire office.
"It's a nice day!" Bao'er said with a smile.
Ashley smiled and said, "We don't use these politenesses, we didn't talk on the phone once or twice, right!" ”
Boa kept a smile on her face, but she remembered that when she first came to the United States, she was the main contact with this agent at that time!
The reason is simple, first of all she is a woman, and secondly she is very capable and has no low status in the CAA!
However, at that time, all she gave to Bao'er was polite refusal!
At first, Bao'er didn't understand the situation, and took the other party's politeness and euphemism as a possibility to discuss, so she "harassed" the other party a lot during that time!
I have to say that Ashley is a very professional agent and has an amazingly high emotional intelligence, she did not show impatience from beginning to end, and even occasionally mentioned a few words about Bao'er - this is why Bao'er, who is extremely eager for success, has not fallen or been forced to fall for so long in complicated Los Angeles, because this agent reminded her of those words back then!
Hearing Ashley's words, Bao'er smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, found a relatively comfortable position to sit on the chair, looked up, and said very seriously: "Ashley, all these years...... Thank you! ”
"No!" Ashley smiled and waved her hand and said, "Don't thank me, I didn't do anything...... So, now can we chat as old friends? ”
Bao'er nodded with a smile and said, "It's my honor!" ”
"I said on the phone that you can take full control of the copyright of the song "Heyjude", right?" Ashley asked.
Bao'er nodded and said, "Before coming to the United States, I signed a power of attorney with Zheng Xiuxian's guardian, and I can decide the copyright, sharing and other issues of that song!" ”
Ashley nodded with a smile and said, "There have been a lot of brokerage companies contacting you recently!" ”
Boa smiled and continued to nod.
The song "Heyjude" is not an ordinary hit in the United States now, and no matter which agency signs this song, it will make a lot of money!
Therefore, when Wuli Baoer came to the United States this time, she had some illusions in a trance as if she had suddenly gained a certain status in the American pop music circle!
Of course, she knew it was an illusion, and those smiling faces that suddenly appeared even complimented the fat bear that should belong to her!
"So, ...... you're here today," Ashley tilted her head, but her eyes never took off her eyes from Bo'er, and the smile on her face never diminished.
"Sign a contract with CAA!" Bao'er smiled, there was no concealment, and there was no bargaining meaning, anyway, CAA's signing standards are there, and there will never be black artists - just kidding, the plate is so big, the slightest mistake will lose all the plates, a huge CAA will not be stupid enough to smash his own signboard because of a song!
"Thank you for your trust!" Ashley reached out with a smile on her face.
Before, it was Bao'er who reached out to her first, but now it is Ashley who took the initiative, for no other reason, just because of Zheng Fat Bear's song!
Speaking of which, what Ashley wants to talk about has ended, and the signing of the contract will be arranged by Boa's personal agent and CAA's assistant for Ashley!
However, what Boa wants to talk about is not over yet!
"What? What else does Miss Boa have to say? Ashley was a little confused, and even thought to herself that this girl would not use that song as a stepping stone to ask to join CAA!
If Boa really did this, Ashley wouldn't give this girl any more good looks in the future!
Ashley guessed half right, Boa did want to talk to her about another song, but it was just one song!
"Miss Ashley, I still have a song here that I want to sign with CAA, I don't know if you're interested!" Bao'er said with a smile.
There are many ways to sign a contract, it can be a song or a person!
Bao'er really wanted to sign a contract with CAA, but the other party didn't agree for so many years before, so she decided to change her way and start by signing songs!
This is Bao'er's biggest reliance on coming to the United States this time - the song that Zheng Fat Bear gave her before leaving!
"Oh! What song? Ashley asked, but there was a lack of interest on her face!
"The song I sing, it's just ......" Bao'er said with a smile: "It was written by Jung so-hyun!" A new song in English! ”
Ashley immediately looked up, with some interest on her face, and asked, "Can I hear it first?" ”
"Of course!" Bao'er smiled and took out her phone, plugged in the headphones and handed it over.
Ashley got the phone and saw the song title on the phone, she was immediately stunned for a moment, and even her eyes jumped!
The title of this song......
Without much hesitation, she put on her headphones and clicked on the song!
In an instant, she froze in place!
It's ...... "Godisagirl"!
God is a girl!
The melody is simple, but it's intriguing; The lyrics are simple, just asking over and over again if people believe that God is a girl, and at the same time asking people if they accept it!
However, if you think about it carefully, what the song wants to express is that every girl is her own God, as long as you say goodbye to the sad past, as long as you are brave, you are God!
There are no fierce words, no explosive rhythms, but they capture people's hearts deeply!
Listening to the song, Ashley's eyes became brighter and brighter, and her body couldn't help but sway slightly to the rhythm!
At this moment, she looked at Bao'er, and it came to her mind that this girl was standing on the stage of 10,000 people and singing this song, and girls all over the world were crazy because of her, because of this song, because God was a girl!
God is a girl, and no musician in the world has ever "played" with such a concept, and they didn't even think about it!
As for the religious ...... Bullshit! Of course, such a concept can exist in the free United States, not to mention that this song is not so much about religion, but rather as persuading girls all over the world to become their own gods, to become the most special and dazzling existence!
Ashley is in charge of the operation of music artists at CAA, so she has quite a good musical literacy herself, especially in determining whether a song has commercial value!
So, at the moment......
"Miss Bo'er, let's sign a contract!" Ashley's eyes lit up with a rare look of excitement on her face.
Boa smiled and nodded, even though she had known for a long time that she would be able to conquer each other with Fat Bear's talent, Ashley was still excited to sign for the song.
"I guess you're wrong!" Ashley smiled and spread her hands, made a gesture of wanting to hug Boa, and continued: "I'm not just talking about this song, but also about you, Boa'er from South Korea!" ”
In an instant, Bao'er was stunned in place, a strong shock hit her body, and the warm current made her scalp tingle!
Can't believe it!
Astonished!
Surprise!
I was able to sign a contract with CAA!
After so many years, the wish finally ...... It's done!
In an instant, the tearful Boa and Ashley hugged each other tightly!
At the same time, Bao'er's mind came to mind the figure of the dead fat man and the words he said before leaving!
"This song will definitely make you popular all over the world because it was written by Sister Boa's Fat Bear......"
Fat bear......
