Two Hundred and Twenty First Rare Recognition
"King of the Stage ()"
"...the arrangement could be more complex and more ornate."
Ronan generously shared his thoughts. Although he has no detailed and systematic thoughts on the arrangement, he is willing to discuss it.
"universe?"
Curtis immediately thought of it and blurted it out. Although Ronan didn't sing the lyrics, he can judge only from the emotion of the melody. The emotion of the whole melody is very magnificent, and the deep and vast feeling of relaxation is really eye-opening——
So what if, instead of piano performances, intricate arrangements were used to show layers and structures?
Curtis thinks this is an interesting idea, starting from the melody to show a three-dimensional structure similar to architecture, creating a unique auditory experience.
Ronan nodded in affirmation, "From the perspective of lyrics, the whole theme is also magnificent enough."
Curtis thought about it carefully, "Then the choice of musical instruments for the arrangement needs to be carefully considered. Your choice of strings in 'Chasing the Light' was very good, so this time..." Curtis completely Focus on your own thoughts, as if you were going to start composing with Ronan on the spot.
Back and forth professional discussions, nothing fancy, the two sides exchanged views so frankly, even Maxim couldn't get in the way, I always felt that my thoughts were a little behind, let alone other people .
"Knock, knock", but at this moment, the knock on the door came again, and Curtis didn't even raise his head, and directly raised his voice and replied, "Get out!"
The simple and rude response made everyone stunned, but in the next second, the door of the room was pushed open, and Ahmet's shiny bald head appeared in front of his eyes, "Are you doing homework again?" The expression on his face seemed completely unsurprised by the treatment he had received. Not only was he not angry, but he was also kind——
Just like the party the night before, Ru Muchunfeng's warm attitude made it impossible to judge.
Without waiting for Curtis to answer, Ahmet walked in, smiled at Ronan and nodded gently. After introducing himself, he greeted the band members and Alice separately. The decent and thoughtful etiquette can't be faulted , as soon as he appeared on the stage, he skillfully grasped the initiative of the live conversation.
Curtis protested violently, "What's the matter, are you okay?"
"Yes, there is something." Ahmet's natural answer made Curtis choke, "Didn't it mean, do you want to meet the band? How do you feel?"
Interview, it really is an interview!
While Ahmet was very private, Curtis was clearly the interviewer, getting to know the band further and see if they were worth signing.
The night before yesterday was one thing, Ahmet's judgment was one thing, and today Curtis's judgment was another matter. Atlantic Records obviously hoped to be more cautious; however, such caution is actually a good thing, because It also meant that Atlantic Records really wanted to be signed.
However, for the band members, it is difficult to realize this at the first time, and it is still on the first layer of the surface——
interview?
Wait, what the hell were they doing just now? Does such an interview really matter? Did the conversation between Ronan and Curtis reveal anything? Are they wasting an opportunity? Or, did they take a chance? If missed, can they recover now?
Or, the interview hasn't started yet? Next is the interview?
After Cliff and Maxim came to their senses, their hearts couldn't help but hang high, countless thoughts flooded their minds, nervousness prevailed, and they were completely restless.
But even it is too late to regret and regret, because the initiative is not in their hands at all, and they don't even know when the interview started.
Curtis did not answer Ahmet's question, but glanced at Ronan and raised his jaw, "How many songs have you finished writing now? How about songs of the quality of 'Chasing the Light'?
How many more? "
Swipe.
All eyes were on Ronan. Although he didn't know what happened and how it happened, the nervousness still created a sense of oppression that his life was hanging by a thread.
"Uh, not much." Ronan thought about it seriously, and smiled at Curtis, "One hand."
Cliff almost fell on his back, when is he not bragging at this moment? Of course, you have to answer "a lot, enough for one album", or "a lot, and the quality is very high". As for other things, we can wait until after signing the contract, so why just tell the truth obediently? It also depends on the occasion!
Curtis didn't speak immediately, but just looked Ronan up and down, and then said to Ahmet, "He's a smart guy."
clever?
What is this evaluation?
Good smart or bad smart?
What about music? What about music reviews? Is Curtis sure you don't want to comment on the band's music?
This anxiety, like a cat's paw scratching the heart, caused Cliff and Maxim to suffer a lot. They tried to interrupt, but they were not sure whether their opening would be self-defeating. Aloud, but both Ollie and Alice felt the subtle change in the atmosphere.
"Is there anything else?" Curtis didn't have much time to react, and immediately after finishing speaking, he added impatiently, waving his hand as if chasing flies, "If you have nothing to do, leave, okay?" ? Ronan and I still have work to do, don't you know this is the studio?"
The irritable tone seemed to be about to roll up his sleeves and fight.
However, Ahmet knew Curtis well.
Although Curtis didn't make any comments about the music, Curtis couldn't wait to start working with Ronan, and this action alone is enough to explain a lot of things——
Curtis is now one of the top and most authoritative professional producers of Atlantic Records. His personality is very bad, like a stone in a cesspit; but his professional ability is absolutely top-notch, which is indeed admirable from the bottom of his heart. Otherwise, This picky and troublesome producer has long been kicked out of the company and lived on the streets.
Curtis is the object of countless singers eager to cooperate. He is a sound engineer and producer with outstanding ability, and is known as the "golden touch" in Atlantic Records; but the singer who can make Curtis treat him differently, But not even one hand.
For example, Bruno's first album "Love Song True Story" last year was produced by Curtis, and Coldplay's fifth studio album "Mylo-Xyloto" last year also hoped that Curtis In charge of recording production, but Curtis declined their request.
Therefore, even though Curtis did not make any comments, Ahmet still understood, and the results of the interview came out.
"Of course there is something. I need to take the band members to the fifth floor to sign the contract, or...Alice can go alone?"
