269. Salute to the King of Heaven
In Block D, the unassuming Westlake studio, where MJ and Quincy recorded the album "Bad."
The building was built during that period and was primarily designed for Michael and Quincy. Because they are the studio's main customers, the layout, finish, and equipment are all aimed at meeting their needs.
It is precisely for this reason that Block D of West Lake Recording Studio has basically become the industry standard. After it was built, other recording studios were built on it.
"HeyJohn, long time no see."
"Patrick, long time no see."
The group followed Taylor into the recording studio she had booked before, and Sun Shaoye saw an old acquaintance, so he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him in an American way.
As Taylor's friend, Sun Shaoye naturally accompanied Taylor to this famous recording studio. At first, he was pestered by Taylor, so he was reluctant to come here. But later, after discovering the fun of the recording studio, Sun Shaoye began to pester Taylor. Basically, every time Taylor came here to record, as long as he was in Los Angeles, he would come with Taylor.
Although UTA also has a recording studio, and the equipment is not worse than here, the recording studio there is mostly used to make soundtracks for movies, TV series, games, etc., so the comprehensive performance is not as good as here.
In addition, many platinum records have been recorded here, so most of the singers under UTA have recorded here.
After learning that Sun Shaoye was here to record the show, John was even more excited to welcome Sun Shaoye and his party in.
Since MJ's death. The place he used to go in his lifetime has become a place where fans miss him. And this place, where MJ's three most classic albums were recorded, has naturally become the second most sought-after place after MJ's home.
This, combined with the high cost of equipment maintenance, forced them to open this legendary building to MJ fans. At the same time as it opens, there is a $99 per person entrance fee.
Although the price may seem high, if you do visit the building, you will find that it is definitely a great value for money.
Toss the USB stick with the tune to Taylor. And familiarize her with the song as a whole. Sun Shaoye took Son Ye-jin and his entourage, walked out of Block D, and walked towards Block A, which seems to be a recording studio located on Beverly Avenue.
In the incomprehensible gaze of everyone, an ordinary white and brown bungalow. appeared in the eyes of the group.
"Shaono. What are we? "Look at the unsightly bungalow in front of me. Son Ye-jin asked puzzled.
"Get in and you'll know." Son Shaoye kept smiling and did not answer Son Ye-jin's words.
And curiosity drove Son Ye-jin to follow in Son Shaoye's footsteps. Walked into this white and brown house.
As a frequent visitor here, Sun Shaoye declined the guidance of the staff, and as a tour guide, he explained this place that once created miracles for Son Ye-jin and the staff behind him.
As soon as they walked in, everyone saw that the wall of the lounge near the door was almost full of records, and at the bottom of the records, the profiles of each singer and the album were written.
"The albums hanging here are all platinum records." Pointing to the records on this wall, Sun Shaoye pointed to a few of them and said to Son Ye-jin: "In these records, these, these, and these are all created by Michael Jackson." ”
"Really?" Hearing Son Shaoye's words, Son Ye-jin looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, he saw an album with the word MJ written on it. "Wow...... it's incredible."
Hearing Son Ye-jin's words, Son Shaoye shook his head with a smile, pointed to a few other records on the wall, and said to Son Ye-jin: "This "SpeakNow" record has 5.4 million sales worldwide, and this album "Red" released in 2012 has sold four million in the United States alone. The overall global sales have already exceeded 6 million copies. ”
"Wow......"
"Really?!"
"Which singer is this, so powerful?!"
……
Hearing Sun Shaoye's introduction, in addition to the staff of the West Lake Recording Studio, the entire film crew and other tourists were amazed by this terrifying sales.
After all, in 2012, in this era of gradual expansion of electronic information, many singers' songs had a high number of downloads on the website, but the sales of physical albums were miserable.
Therefore, such an impressive achievement in this era has to be commendable.
"This person is in the recording studio we came to just now, and it is estimated that it is almost time to start recording," After enjoying everyone's curiosity, Sun Shaoye revealed this mystery.
"Omo, is it ......?"
"Well, that's what you think." Seeing Son Ye-jin's surprised look, Sun Shaoye smiled and nodded.
"It's really Taylor Swift, she's amazing." Thinking that the other party's album has such a high sales volume, Son Ye-jin's unconfidence in her heart has strengthened a little.
"You're also amazing, and the movies and TV series are very touching." Seeing the loneliness in Son Ye-jin's eyes, Sun Shaoye comforted softly, "Besides, Taylor is facing the global market, and you are only facing the Asian market, and the two of you are not comparable at all." ”
"Hmm," Son responded simply, and Son Ye-jin followed his footsteps and continued to browse the legendary recording studio.
As the group walked from the main entrance to the studio, the walls on both sides of the road were covered with memories of Michael Jackson. His photographs, paintings, handwritten lyrics, and even everywhere he looks, Michael, Michael, Michael......
Looking at the slow memories on the wall, the eyes of MJ's fans gradually moistened throughout the shooting crew. They used their focus to pay tribute to the great king.
Taking into account the thoughts of the people behind him, Sun Shaoye slowed down and introduced the story behind each photo to everyone one by one.
At this time, Jiang Gong PD, who was originally very dedicated, suddenly ran to Son Shaoye and Son Yezhen's side, not caring at all whether he had become a super light bulb.
took out a notepad and mobile phone, Sun Shaoye didn't say a photo, and after Jiang Gong took it, he recorded it in the notebook. Although there was a VJ who also wanted to go up and take pictures, the camera on his shoulder reminded him that he was still working. But as soon as he was excited, he forgot to shoot Son Shaoye and Son Yezhen, and directly aimed the camera at Jiang Gong.
led to the post-editing, and the number of Jiang Gong PD appearances in the show became the first since the broadcast of "My Knot". After the broadcast of this episode, it aroused many Korean MJ fans' memories of MJ. And this episode of the show, after being named "Salute to the King", has become one of the most popular episodes of "My Knot". (To be continued......)
