Chapter Seventy-Seven: Sarah Brightman (2)
"Hey~ long time no see." Sarah Brightman opened the door and saw Jerry, who came up with a veneer salute, "I haven't seen you come to see me in the United States for so long." ”
Jerry smiled a little embarrassedly, after settling in the United States in 1992, he really hadn't seen Sarah Brightman, even if he went to Los Angeles, he couldn't find time.
It's too busy, and those three words are not a good excuse.
"Long time no see~ Jerry." Andre Loy Webber, the king of musicals, walked out from behind and shook Jerry's hand, "The latest album 'Choas1996' is really good. ”
"Andrei also listens to popularity?" When he knocked on the door of Andre Webber's house, Jerry had already packed his mood, although his tone was slightly low, but he couldn't help but joke when he heard Andre mention his latest album.
"What? Can't I just listen to the pop? Andrei smiled and asked, "Do I look like an old antique that doesn't touch fashion?" ”
"I've always felt that you were born for musicals, and pop doesn't seem to be compatible with you."
"Musical theatre is a profession and pursuit of life, and if it is popular, it is a pastime of life, and the two do not conflict."
"Oh~ It seems that Sarah's style has decreased somewhere."
"Hey~" Sarah Brightman protested dissatisfied.
Andre and Jerry couldn't help but laugh at the same time.
It's really strange, one is almost 50 years old, and the other is just 16, but the two of them are standing together, like old friends, chatting without the slightest bit of life. What's even stranger is that one is a pop king, while the other is a classical musical king.
God knows how these two guys got together.
"Just kidding~" Jerry put away his smile and said, "Classical and pop themselves are parallel existences. There is no such thing as a high style or a bottom style. It's just that the classical is advertised as the elegant art that enters the house, while the popular is advertised as the civilian art of the rotten street. In the final analysis, they are just forms of music, and in the eyes of musicians, they are both artistic means to serve the public. ”
"That's a good point." Andre smiled and nodded, "It's just that I'm afraid I only have musical theater cells." ”
"Not necessarily. It's just that Andrey, you didn't try! Jerry didn't even let Andre go, "Do you want to try it?" ”
"I'm afraid that the evening will not be guaranteed." Andre waved his hand, "If it weren't for that, Sarah's producer, wouldn't be Frank Peterson." ”
"Huh? How so? Jerry took the tea from Sarah Brightman's hand.
"If I could have a higher level of understanding in other areas of music. She won't divorce me either. André kept smiling at Sarah Brightman as he said this. Although the love that was known all over the city with her big-eyed sister Sarah Brightman ended in divorce, Andre did not regret the seven years he had. And, now, they are still very good friends, and that's enough. The reason why he divorced Sarah Brightman was precisely because they both believed that they could no longer help each other in the field of each other's artistic pursuits. André made Sarah Brightman with The Phantom of the Opera. Why didn't Sarah Brightman use "The Phantom of the Opera" to make André again? Even in front of Sarah Brightman, there's an Elaine Peggy, there's an "Evita," there's a "Cats."
Jerry sipped his tea. Look at Sarah, look at Andre, these two guys.
Sarah Brightman was slapped directly by Jerry.
"Oh~ The tea is good, the tea is good." Jerry quickly changed the subject. "Sarah and Mr. Peterson's 'A-Question-Of-Honour' is really good, 'La-Wally' arias, bel canto, classical and pop-rock, in classical and rock. collides with the essence of the song of glory first. I heard that German boxing champion Mr. Henry Musk also invited you to sing for him in the match? ”
"You're well-informed!"
Jerry touched his nose embarrassedly.
"Sarah came to my side this time for the commission of Musk's boxing champion."
"Oh?" Jerry asked curiously.
"Mr. Musk invited me to do a live performance for his farewell match. So, I'm wondering if Andrei has any good ideas. Sarah Brightman looked at Andre with blazing eyes, she hoped that André would step out of his classical and musical theater framework, and although the collaboration with Frank Peterson was very pleasant, she still hoped that André would be there for her when she needed help. Although she doesn't want to be said, oh~ Aren't you Andre Webber's new love? In this role, anyone can sing popularly, but the relationship between her and Andre is not fake, and Andrei's attainments in musicals are not fake, what she wants is for her and Andre to grow together.
Therefore, after getting the commission of boxing champion Elon Musk, the first thing she thought of was still Andre.
It would be nice if he could jump out of his musical theater scene.
Unfortunately, this is not possible.
Andrei's answer was, nothing can be done.
"Jerry, what do you have in mind?" Andre raised his head, looked at Jerry, and suddenly said, "You're the king of mixed styles." ”
"It's useless to put a top hat on me." Jerry continued to take a sip of tea, "If you have any ideas, you really don't. If Sarah really wants to sing pop, it definitely won't work. Doesn't Mr. Musk like "A-Question-Of-Honour" sandwich biscuits? In this signature Brightman style, it's just a matter of completing his commission. Or, what about cross-border language collaboration? ”
"Linguistic crossover?" Sandwich biscuits? Brightman style? Sarah likes it.
"Music is the language that connects the world, and it knows no borders." Jerry smiled and asked, "Sarah's Italian is fine, right?" ”
"Of course."
"If that's the case, Sarah might as well try the song "Con-Te-Partiro" that Mr. Andrea Bocelli sang at the concert in Sanremo, Italy, last year, and adapt it to Brightman style." Jerry smiled again and asked, "Andre, are you going to try your hand at composition and arrangement?" ”
"Or ...... Forget it. ”
Andre wanted to say something, but Jerry picked up his words and directly gagged him, "Don't beat me up, I'm like you, my strength is popularity, and classics are only occasionally touched, I don't want to mess up the farewell stage of Musk's boxing champion." Frank Peterson is a skilled craftsman in the field of willing biscuits, and I don't want to take the job of Sarah's new boyfriend, in which case Mr. Peterson will be jealous. ”
Andrei laughed.
The big-eyed girl glared at Jerry fiercely.
These two guys are really a virtue, no wonder the age gap is so big, but they can still talk together. (To be continued......)
