Chapter 109

"Madison, here's your part."

Diplo pressed pause and reminded softly.

"I know, I just..."

Wanted to justify, but Madison couldn't find one.

"Sorry, can I do it again?"

"Okay."

"I'll be your lifeline tonight."

"I won't let go..."

In the same passage, in a similar situation, Madison Bill found that he could speak normally, but when it came to the part that should be sung, he couldn't make any sound.

He opened his mouth wide, but made no sound, like a drowning puppy.

"Uh..." Diplo rubbed his eyes, stopped the music again, trying to resist the urge to sigh, "Do you need to put a metronome in front?"

"Need not."

Madison stuffed his hands into the back pockets of his jeans, hung his head, and gasped very slightly.

"What's the matter with her?"

The ability of the Neumann U87 dynamic microphone to block background noise is good enough. Madison, who does not point his mouth at the receiver, will not be heard by outsiders no matter how loud his breathing is.

Unfortunately, the quality of the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x monitor headphones is also top-notch.Benny Blanc frowned and whispered in Diplo's ear, which Madison could hear clearly.

Yeah, I... what's going on?

Where is my voice?
"Madison, did you go to bed too late last night?"

Diplo asked in as gentle a way as possible, but felt somewhat regretful. For the female vocal part of the interlude of the song "Cold Water", Diplo originally wanted to directly use M, the partner of "Lean On", who knows the basics and has a successful case. This kind of simple passage allows her to get some results by the way. .

But when Han Yi saw the production clips he sent to Moments on Snapchat and asked intentionally or unintentionally, Diplo finally decided to give the former the right to choose female vocals.

The reason is simple. With this kind of innocuous decision, I showed Han Yi that I regard him as a close business partner.

After Diplo told Han Yi about this, the Asian rich man thought for two days, and then asked Karen Guo to send Madison Bill's OneSheet to Diplo by email.

There are more than 300 million and almost 400 million followers on Twitter and Instagram, and they have released a single before. Although it is not very good, it is at least someone that Scooter Braun and Han Yi are optimistic about at the same time, and they can also get closer to Mad Decent's new boss relationship.

why not?

What's more, with just a few lines of lyrics, how bad could it be?

So stupid.

Diplo slapped himself in the heart.

Don't ever have such thoughts that will trigger Murphy's Law in the future.

Originally, I was ready to overhaul and specialize the vocals, and even if it was really impossible to slice them directly.Who knew, this girl couldn't even make a sound.

It doesn't take any keen observation to see Madison Beal's abnormal state.Seeing this scene, Justin Bieber and Scooter Braun looked at each other and gave each other a cryptic smile.

"Ah, sorry, my question."

Unexpectedly, Han Yi raised his hand.

"Sorry guys, I should have listened to Madison."

After the attention of the whole room shifted from Madison Bill to him, Han Yi calmly straightened his cuffs and said with a smile.

"She told me that matcha powder would give her a sore throat, but who would have guessed? I bought her a matcha latte anyway."

After finishing speaking, Han Yi patted Scooter on the shoulder without waiting for everyone to react.

"Why don't we let Justin finish recording his part first? This way you can get busy with other things earlier... There are arrangements later, right?"

"Yes, I'm going to Philadelphia after the recording, and there's a concert tomorrow."

How could Scooter Braun fail to recognize the step that Han Yi found for Madison in his words.He patted Justin on the back and said.

"Come on, buddy, leave when you're done."

"Yeah, yeah." Justin Bieber put his right index finger and middle finger together, put them on his forehead in a salute gesture, drank the warm water in the paper cup in his left hand, and walked quickly towards the recording room.

"Madison, come out and rest."

Reassured by Han Yi's soft voice, the confused Madison Bill took off his earphones and walked to the soundproof door. Before she could touch the handle, the door was pushed open vigorously. After dodging the strong wind.

"Oops, I didn't see you here." Justin Bieber turned sideways to make way for Madison, "You go first."

"Thank you." Responded weakly like a mosquito, Madison Bill didn't dare to look up at his former idol and his fellow disciples, and fled towards the recording room.

"Take it easy."

Justin's unintelligible persuasion came from behind, and Madison involuntarily quickened his pace a little.

Passing over Scooter Braun, Han Yi and Zhao Youzhen, the Long Island girl rushed out of the production room.

"Yes... Yi, you can let her go upstairs to rest. The living room on the second floor." Diplo turned around and pointed to the ceiling.

"Okay, you go first, Thomas." Han Yi nodded with a smile, then stretched out his arms, stopping Yuzhen who wanted to follow Madison, "Let me come, Yuzhen, I know what to do."

For some things, only he who has lived for seven more years knows where the source is and how to deal with it.

"Where are you going, Matty?"

Madison Bill, who rushed ahead, did not take the stairs or wait for the elevator to go to the living room, but left the villa directly through the side door.This is a special design for No. 2675 Rutherford Road. Because of the mountain, there is no need to go through the main gate, and the basement floor can be directly connected to the road.Just now when Han Yi and his party arrived, they also entered through the white metal door on the far right.

"Don't quit on me."

Following Madison to the outside, Han Yi narrowed his eyes under the strong light that suddenly hit his retina, and said to the slender figure with a smile.

"I'm not... giving up, Yi."

Madison turned and put a hand on his forehead to shade him.

"Just trying to get some air and start...opening up my voice."

"Okay, I'll accompany you."

Han Yi nodded, hurried two steps, and walked to Madison.

"Where to go?"

"I'll just walk around by myself." Madison Bill lifted the hair beside his ear, "Go and do your work."

"I have nothing to do, and the one inside is not my artist...my artist is here."

Han Yi glanced at the cracked gray road under his feet, and pointed at both ends of the road.

"Uphill, or downhill?"

"Both roads are going down the mountain." Madison was amused by Han Yi's description. This is a cul-de-sac, which is a dead end in Chinese.There is only one way down the mountain, and to the left, there is only a ridge and a cliff with a slight slope. "It's just that the way goes down faster...and dies faster."

"Sometimes, going down the mountain is to climb better." Han Yi said something that sounded philosophical, "The Hollywood sign is right next to it, right? It shouldn't be far away, we can go there."

"The Hollywood sign is indeed not far away." Madison Bill nodded, took a step forward, and signaled Han Yi to follow, "But it will take at least an hour to go up the Chapel Hill trail."

"3 minutes of song, two and a half minutes of vocals..." Han Yi looked at the Patek Philippe on his wrist, "We still have about an hour before Justin finishes recording. Well, until I start calling for help ,How about it?"

"What a master of comedy." Madison turned his head, glanced at Han Yi with a smile, "This is an important way for you to open up other people's hearts, isn't it, boss?"

"Yes." Han Yi nodded happily and admitted, "You can tell the truth now, or I will continue to shake out my collection of bad jokes one after another."

"What truth?" Madison blinked, "I never told you a lie."

"is it?"

"Yes."

"They don't know, but I can tell." Han Yi took two quick steps, walked side by side with Madison, and walked downhill, "Is it really because you insisted on your artistic style that you terminated the contract with Scooter?"

"Why do you think otherwise?" Madison asked curiously.

"Your attitude towards us, and how you got along with your mother and grandma in Long Island."

Han Yi's index finger twirled around his temple.

"You are not the kind of girl who is rebellious by nature. I don't want to judge you in any negative way, but... I think it is more important for you to enter this star-studded world than to pursue what suits your own music style. Much more important."

"Oh, how you know me."

Madison smiled and shook her head, her bright brown ponytail flung out several beautiful irregular arcs behind her head.

"Yes, Yi, you got me... I lied."

Madison put his hands behind his back and slowed down, not in a hurry to reach the T-junction that was close at hand.

"The reason I released Scooter Braun was because of a scar."

"spiritual?"

"Spiritually, of course." Madison shrugged and smiled, "If it's because of my physical scars, I will terminate the contract with my manager, then I... oh, I understand what you mean. No, From Scooter to Justin, they treated me with respect, and I was a minor until I was released."

"You are now too."

"That's right, so you can rest assured that there are no physical scars." Standing still at the T-junction, Madison Bill asked Han Yi's opinion again, "So, should we go down or go up?"

"What scar?" Han Yi didn't answer Madison's question, but looked straight into Madison's eyes and asked persistently.

"It's not good yet."

Madison lowered her head slightly.

"Are you sure you want to reveal it?"

"If you don't take a look..." Han Yi turned his gaze to the Hollywood ridge, which meanders up and can't see the end, "How can I be sure if it can be cured?"

"You want to cure it?"

"Can try."

Madison stood at the intersection of the road going up and down the mountain, and looked at Han Yi motionlessly for a long time.

And Han Yi looked back quietly like this, letting the scorching sun burn his back.

After several minutes, Madison breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly.

"it is good."

Before the words were finished, Madison started walking again and headed towards the top of the mountain.

"As the only girl in Jericho...or all of Long Island to be retweeted by Justin Bieber and signed to his company, my life wasn't always about admiration, admiration and admiration. bless."

"During that time, I was already confused enough myself. When I just signed the contract and started working in this industry, I encountered a particularly big culture shock. I needed to put my mind on the entertainment industry and the The fantasy of the music industry is separate from the reality that I experience, and it's been a really tough learning curve."

"Like what fantasies?"

“My vision is – I’m going to move to Los Angeles, live by the beach, and be in a whirlwind of music and shows. I’m going to meet a bunch of girls who are in a similar situation to me, and we’re going to be best friends. People in the industry will Warm welcome and super excited to work with me. Because I'm young and talented and they're going to do everything they can to steer me on the right path... oh my god, for a while it did feel that way. "

"Like Hannah Montana?"

"Yes, exactly like Hannah Montana."

"but……"

"But, over time, the truth came out. Instead, I'd go to parties and watch people who hated each other to the core pose intimately together, giggle and make videos together, and then go silent Sitting back in front of the phone, I saw... Justin, Ariana, and other friends, how they smiled perfectly in front of the camera, and how they looked gloomy when the camera moved away. "

“I would go to all kinds of creative meetings that were about me, but I was too young and too inexperienced, and every idea that came up was rejected. I knew they had legitimate reasons for doing it, but, this Not the new life I thought I was going to start. I felt like I was... cheated."

"However, this is still not your scar." Han Yi pulled Madison to his side to avoid the roaring car.The Hollywood Ridge Road is extremely narrow, and with the vehicles parked randomly on the right side of the road, there is no room for two cars to drive side by side, but this did not stop the drivers from doing their best on the mountain road.

"The Madison Beal I know doesn't feel sorry for himself because reality isn't a fairy tale."

"What about this Madison Beal?"

Madison turned on the phone, expertly entered a few keywords into Google, and brought the found video to Han Yi.

"This is a six-second Vine video." Madison said softly, "Click to see it."

Han Yi clicked the play button, and a short video that made people dizzy with mirroring began to play. There was nothing special about it. All he could see were two girls laughing wantonly in a certain restaurant. Then, the camera was switched to In the rear mode, it is a slightly younger Madison Beal who appears in the picture.She covered her face with her hands, and the tears in her eyes seemed to flow down in the next second.

"This is you……"

"15," Madison Beal responded. "15th birthday."

"Birthday." Han Yi sighed, "If I'm not mistaken, this is..."

"Kylie Jenner."

"That day, you were in your own home, and you lost your temper with your mother just because you heard her name, didn't you?" Han Yi suddenly remembered the memorable scene in New York, "This group of girls who are about your age , but there is no similar situation to yours. They were born in Hollywood from a young age, and in the eyes of these people, you are the poor class who broke into their world...even if you were actually born in Hampton. "

"You summed it up so brilliantly that I don't even know how to go on." Madison Bill's mouth curled into a self-deprecating smile, "I asked for it. I really want to have friends in this circle, too much. Hoping to get the approval of...the 'big stars' who are high up there with their own reality shows. To them, I'm just a clown who can belittle and poke fun at any time."

"I clumsily learned their looks, imitated their accents, wore the same eyeliner, and even... drank the same latte."

"Matcha latte is their favorite thing?"

"Ah, no, this is... I only order it in front of you. I really like matcha." Madison Bill took a breath with some fear, "You don't know, if you are with them, if you My eating habits are a little... out of the ordinary. The next day, the whole social circle will know. I was ridiculed by them for a year for dipping bacon in syrup."

"So...whatever they do, I do, and I thought that was one of the 'girls'. But on my birthday, I realized that they just thought of me as a... less perverted stalker fan."

"Then, did you stay away from them?" Han Yi asked seriously, "Did you find a chance to fight back?"

"I stayed away from them, and that's what I did." Madison looked down at her legs that kept moving forward, "Since that birthday, I have never been to any of their parties... Of course, they never invited me again. But to fight back, I never thought about it...I dare not.”

"why?"

"because……"

Madison Bill stopped in his tracks, turned his head a little stiffly, and faced Han Yi face-to-face pretending to be strong.

From his perspective, the smile she forced to pull was so bleak and weak.

"They have seen me, the most unbearable thing."

"The entire network has seen it."
