Chapter 35 Pressure

Compared with the original version, the MV on the TV is naturally completely different, and there are similar places, such as Song Ya suggested that Lao Qiao wear a pink suit, such as the overall atmosphere of joy, and for example, Little Lowry and Lao Qiao basically did not appear on the scene at the same time However, it is true that the rap and chorus parts of the second-hand shop song are severely split. It seems that the two directors in different time and space have seen this problem.

After the MV was broadcast, there was a short interview with Lowry Jr.

"Thanks, I've been doing promotions for this song for a long time, yes, I've been to almost all places in the city, I didn't expect to be picked by MTV, my god, you know what I mean, here But MTV! I feel so unreal right now, like, like a dream come true, I have to thank MTV, and SBK...”

"Yeah, you know, I was born on the South Side of Chicago, as a poor kid, the thrift store was the place I went to growing up, I loved it, it solved a lot of practical problems in my life, I had a special feeling for it emotion."

"When I got the sheet music, it happened to be in a second-hand store, and I hummed a few lines according to the sheet music. You know, sometimes, the inspiration comes at that moment. I wrote down the lyrics in an old On the T-shirt...hahaha, yes, it's the white one..."

'Snapped! '

Song Ya turned off the TV series, feeling that all of this was too fucking 'real'. He understood that what Xiao Luo Rui said was a means of propaganda, and he also knew that he signed half of the lyrics copyright transfer agreement with Xiao Luo Rui got what he needed, but he was still unhappy after seeing the scene just now. What annoyed him the most was that Little Lowry was supposed to be a 7,000-selling guy, but he got a big bargain, and when he faced him on weekdays, he would be like his mother's 258,000.

"I will never allow this to happen a second time!"

He secretly made up his mind, turned his head and met Eric who was looking at him.

"Uh... APLUS."

Eric stammered, "I...Can I hang out with you in the future? Just like Tony and the others followed Little Lowry?"

"Why do you have such an idea? I'm not a singer, so I don't need to show my face." Song Ya was very surprised.

"I think... I have a better chance following you, such as this..." Eric pouted towards the advanced mixing console, "And you definitely need help, we blacks are mixing in such a 'white' place, there is no Not a helper."

SBK is indeed a bit 'white', the management staff, staff, contracted singers, and even the hip-hop singers they advocate are all white, "Okay." Song Ya calmly thought about it, and agreed, he really needs help now, Among other things, I must have a wingman. "But it can only be temporary. I have to go back to school after I finish this song. By the way, can you recommend me some reference books on tuning? It’s so hard for producers not to understand this.”

I told Hayden before that I hate the feeling of not being able to control everything, but if I am a layman who knows nothing, how can I hope to control everything? Just like watching other people shoot MVs before, Little Lowry’s first MV was very simple, a group of people danced, Little Lowry and Al sang in front, and he casually looked at the side, and he could imagine the rough finished picture, But the MV in the 'second-hand shop' was no good. In fact, it was only a small-cost production completed in three days. But when he was watching the filming, he was like reading a book. He couldn't guess the director's intention at all. It was only after the effect was realized that I thought of the hidden logic behind the piece of fine material during shooting.

He urgently needs to learn now, and all difficulties should be turned to study hard and make progress every day...

"I see."

Eric's attitude towards him was quite different from before, and he said softly, "Thank you, APLUS." He buried his head in the cabinet under the mixer and found a thick booklet and threw it over, "You first Take a look at the user manual of this mixer, this thing is generally not far from the desk.

"

Song Ya flipped through it casually, and was dizzy by the function descriptions of a bunch of buttons. It didn't take long for Lisa to knock on the door and come in. The daily sound audition work was about to start.

Generally speaking, those who come to the audition in the morning have no background, and the voice quality is not high, but these girls are also the most "spelling". The palm of the hotel room number is red from being scratched.

"Is there anyone who can make it to the second round?" Eric asked while eating a pizza.

Song Ya shook her head.

"...Is it okay?" Eric gave a name. The girl impressed the two of them very much. She wore a huge transparent suspender with nothing inside. When she entered the door, she took off her coat boldly. Bai Nen dazzled people's eyes.

"Don't make up your mind." Song Ya warned him.

"I know I know." Eric said regretfully.

The situation in the afternoon was completely different. Song Ya’s lyrics and music were only a short section of the song without swear words. It stands to reason that all audition singers can only get that score, but many of the girls who came in the afternoon passed other songs. After getting the whole song through the channel, Song Ya felt dissatisfied and immediately took the initiative to "add drama", sang the rest of the song without hesitation, and frequently provoked equal rights issues to curry favor with him.

Song Ya only gave the complete track to Daniel, and apart from his own relationship, Daniel only discussed it in the SBK executive meeting. It seems that these girls all have a little background, and some of them will have it during the audition. The middle management inside SBK came to 'take a look', and the chat with Song Ya was full of hints.

"After recording this song, I think it will offend everyone in SBK." Song Ya thought helplessly.

Busy until after five o'clock, Song Ya circled the name of a girl whose voice was very close to the original singer, and then, the "righteous master" came...

Mira wore a baseball cap, and big Ray-Ban glasses covered half of her face. She didn't wear any makeup, and as soon as she entered the recording studio, she put her arms around her arms and stood there, expressionless.

"APLUS, right? We've met." Her mother also followed.

"Uh...the manager can't..." Song Ya kept a businesslike face and didn't look at Mira.

"Sorry..." Lisa gestured to Song Yabi at the door, and mouthed 'please' again.

Song Ya pretended to sigh and stopped talking.

Lisa closed the door from the outside.

"Hello……"

Mila's mother stretched out her hand. It was different from the last time we met. Today she was wearing a very well-fitting high-end suit and a heavy pearl necklace around her neck. She was very luxurious. After introducing herself, "I want to I'm sorry for what happened last time." Although she was apologizing, her tone was very strong, "Mila is still young and not very sensible."

"Hmph." Mira tossed her long hair, pouted her small mouth, angrily.

"Last time?" Song Ya pretended to be embarrassed.

"Mira, you go in first."

He drove Mira into the recording studio and closed the door, "I know you care about that, Mr. Song." Mira's mother changed her address, "Otherwise you wouldn't insist on putting my Mira in the first round, right? Is it? Mira made a bad comment, and I apologize for her."

"Mrs. Jovovich, right? You don't think a young man from Chicago who came to New York on a special trip to record this personally important single, and then make trouble for that kind of little festival?"

Song Ya smiled at her, "And you also think highly of me. In SBK, I don't have that much energy."

"I……"

What else did Mila's mother want to say, Song Ya didn't give her a chance, and turned to Eric and said, "Let's start auditioning." The pressure must be enough.

"Okay." Eric pressed the call button and said to the microphone: "Miss, the audition will start soon. There is the lyrics and music sheet for this audition on the music stand in front of you. Please prepare it."

Mira sulked for another half a minute, and finally took off her sunglasses, picked up the score, and pulled the microphone closer.

Eric starts playing the recorded accompaniment clip.

After a short section, Eric made some comments and played the accompaniment again.

After singing twice, the second time was obviously much better than the first time. It seems that the little girl has a good understanding and her singing skills are not a big problem. Song Ya got the apocalypse from her, so it goes without saying that the timbre is very similar to the original singer, especially when she squeezes her throat.

"Take it lightly and cheerfully, and do it again."

After recording three times, "It's ok." Eric said to the microphone, and Mira put on her glasses and came out of the recording studio.

"Okay, Miss Jovovich, madam, SBK will inform you of the specific result." Song Ya stretched out her hand.

Mira ignored him, and Mira's mother shook hands, "Can Mira make it to the second round?"

"Emmmmm... It's hard to say. I can only say that the audition effect is not bad, but there is still a lot of room for improvement." Song Ya said the standard routine.

"Can you...can you give me some hints? What should we do to get..." Mira's mother still refused to give up. She was quite knowledgeable, and Song Ya's performance gave her the feeling that she didn't have much chance .

"Mother!"

Mira suddenly screamed, "If you don't sing, you can't sing, let's go!" She opened the door directly and stood outside.

"Oh." Mira's mother sighed, said goodbye and left.

Not long after the two left, Song Ya followed out of the recording studio and looked downstairs from the glass window in the corridor.

Hayden had been poking around Mira's mother's car for a long time. When he saw the mother and daughter walking and arguing, he hurried over and pretended to meet by chance.

After they talked downstairs for a long time, the mother and daughter turned their heads and re-entered the building. Hayden followed behind them and quietly gave Song Ya a thumbs up.
