Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 135 Signed Singer
Scott looked at Tang De in surprise. Of course he knew the value of these two awards. It could be said that this proved that throughout last year, Tang De was unrivaled in the MV field.

And he also knew "Chicago" because he and his family had gone to see it, and the dancing in it still left a deep impression on him.

I didn't expect it to be done by the young man in front of me!

It's unbelievable.

But the real thing was here, and Scott couldn't help but not believe it, so he immediately corrected his mentality and no longer had a questioning mentality.

But he still had doubts: "So why do you think so highly of my daughter's songs?"

Taylor Swift has been writing poetry since she was a child, and has even won awards in the National Poetry Contest. When she was 11 years old, she took the stage to sing the American national anthem before a Philadelphia 76ers game.

So Scott felt she had such a talent and immediately helped Taylor record the demo of her first song after she proposed becoming a country singer.

However, he has encountered many obstacles in recent times. Either he heard nothing from him after submitting the application, or he was rejected outright.

Therefore, Scott is very curious about what part of the song Tang De is interested in. This will also be the key to the family's decision. After all, only people who understand music can discover Taylor's talent.

"He went to shoot. You know him. He mumbles about blues moments every day. He is probably rushing home now." The eldest son Austin is a young man who likes photography. He has decided to apply for photography major in college and is working on it. work hard.

"Great!" Little Taylor Swift jumped up happily. She has grown very fast in the past two years and is about to catch up with her father Scott.

"But if she wants to release an album, she still needs a certain amount of time to develop."

"That's about a year. She needs to systematically learn vocal and singing skills, and then polish the first album with the help of the producer. This stage takes about a year."

Tang De nodded, understanding Scott's doubts, and said: "Because I think country music is the future trend of the United States. To be honest, your daughter's singing skills are considered proficient compared to her peers, but they are not outstanding. However, I think your daughter's voice is very recognizable, she is very suitable for singing this kind of country music, and she has a lively chick feel."

It's just that the conditions offered by American Radio Records are far inferior to Angel Declaration, but Angel Declaration is indeed not a big company. Scott is worried that his daughter will not get good guidance there, so now he is in a tangle.

"Where's Austin?" Scott pulled open his tie, hung it on the hanger, and asked about the whereabouts of his eldest son.

"Tell me more about it, Scott. The meals your daughter has been looking forward to these days are not delicious." After her mother, Andrea, brought the salad to the table, she took her daughter and sat on the sofa, waiting for Scott. Special narration.

"Dad!" Little Taylor Swift, who was playing guitar in the living room, rushed over immediately.

"Don't worry, we have sufficient resources in the industry. We are now working with Republic Records to cultivate a new generation of girl groups. Both teachers and producers are at the forefront of the industry."

"14 is old."

In fact, in addition to the Angel Declaration, he also received a sudden call from American Radio Records, and he rushed over to chat with the person in charge for a while.

He returned home to Nashville over the weekend.

"How old is she?"

"Is there any news?" Although she is only 14 years old, her figure and face have begun to take on a futuristic look, and she looks very sweet.

"In other words, we now have two options. One requires three years of training before we can officially release an album, but the company is famous and has trained many famous singers. The other only requires one year of training before we can release an album, but the company is famous Small, totally new company, right?" Taylor Swift Jr. concluded.

"I understand, but do you have a suitable music producer here?"

"Okay." Scott originally thought that this kind of family matter should be discussed by the whole family, but since the eldest son is not here, forget it. He patted his knees, sat on the sofa and told the two of them about today's experience.

Scott nodded, and after communicating with Tang De for a while, he drove away from Angel Declaration.

"Yes." Scott took off his shoes, touched his daughter's head lovingly, and then said under his wife's gaze: "Two companies have offered me to sign a contract."

"Then when do you think the album can be released?" Scott asked following Tang De's words.

"Yeah... you're right, Taylor, what do you think?" Scott asked his daughter's opinion.

"Is there any need to think about it? Of course it is an angel declaration!" Little Taylor Swift did not hesitate at all: "I can't bear to hide for so long. I have songs, I have inspiration, and I can complete the first album soon. Album!”

"Hmm..." Scott mused.

Mother Andrea showed doubts: "In your opinion, is Tang, the CEO of Angel Declaration, really reliable?"

"We can easily verify this." Scott said the names of the awards he had heard. Unexpectedly, little Taylor Swift suddenly got up and ran upstairs with bright eyes. The parents were a little confused and could only wait for her to take down a few CDs from upstairs.

"Look! Avril Lavigne's "Sk8er Boi", I love the MV for this song very much! It was shot by Don. I watched both the MTV Awards and the Grammys! It was indeed him who won those awards."

Little Taylor Swift said excitedly: "If I can persuade him to shoot a MV for my first album, my song will definitely be a hit! Dad, go to Angel Declaration!"

This passage became the straw that broke the camel's back. After all, although Angel Declaration is not well-known, it is full of sincerity, and the small number of people means that the company will do its best to cultivate little Taylor.

If she enters American Radio Records, she may not get any opportunities within a year or two.

"Then it's settled, let's go to Angel Declaration." Just as Scott made his decision, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door. It was his eldest son Austin who was back.

He looked at the excited family of three and shrugged in surprise: "What's wrong? Did we have a lottery ticket at home?"

On Tuesday, Donde met Taylor Swift for the first time at the Angel Declaration offices.

Because of her age, she still retains the childishness of a girl at this time, and her skin is not very white. It is obvious from a glance that she often goes out to bask in the sun and exercise.

But when she grows up, she will soon transform into the real Taylor Swift.

"Hello." Little Taylor Swift stood in front of Tang De generously. After letting go of her hand, she kept staring at him intently.

"Sit down." Tang De smiled and waved his hand, motioning for the four of them to sit down.

Today, Scott's family came over, obviously very concerned about Taylor's signing.

"Don, we have decided to sign a contract with your company, but we still want to consider your future arrangements for Taylor."

"No problem." Tang De briefly explained his positioning of little Taylor: "I hope to cultivate Taylor to become a representative figure of the new generation of country music in the United States."

However, Angel Declaration currently does not have the conditions to help Taylor produce a music album, so Tang De plans to wait until next year to find a partner, which is the company Taylor would encounter in his original historical trajectory.

He couldn't remember the specific name of the company. He only knew that Taylor's record company was in Nashville because it was the birthplace of country music. A large number of country music singers and producers had taken root there. It was more suitable for the current little Taylor than New York. ·Swift.

Now, he plans to invite the best music teacher in New York to teach little Taylor various techniques and help him get into better shape.

After communicating these, the Scott family seemed very happy. Little Taylor's mother also planned to move to New York to take care of her. As for her brother Austin...he is the same wherever he is.

"Wow, who took this?" Austin didn't care about his destination at this time. He was not interested in the signing, but he was very interested in the various photos on the wall.

"This was taken by Don." Jimmy came over and answered his doubts.

"Is he still a photographer? These photos are amazing." Austin's eyes can't be separated from those photos. There are landscape photos and portrait photos. The lighting and angles are beyond his reach currently.

"Of course, have you ever bought the photo album of Angel Declaration? Boy, that is a hot commodity." Jimmy joked with a smile: "I have collected several sets myself."

It's true. He bought a bookshelf at home just to display various photo albums, among which Lilina's photo album is the largest.

"I haven't bought one. It seems I'm going to the bookstore to check it out." Austin said this and asked again: "Do you accept interns here?"

Jimmy shrugged, a little surprised, turned to look at Tang De who was discussing with Scott, thought for a while and nodded: "Maybe we need a photography assistant."

"Really?"

"Give me your phone number and I'll message you in two days."

While Jimmy and Austin were talking, the family completed the signing with Angel Declaration in the office. Taylor Swift officially joined and became the first singer under Don De.

After seeing the family off, Jimmy came over and said, "Don, Taylor's brother Austin, he wants to join the company as a photography assistant. Do you think it's okay?"

"Of course, that's a good thing." Tang De smiled. Being able to tie up the Taylor family at a very small cost is of course the best thing.

"Okay, I'll inform him later. But, Don..." Jimmy touched his chin: "Do you think she can really be popular? There are so many beautiful and sexy female singers in New York."

"It's different, Jimmy." Tang De stood on the balcony and looked down at the cars driving away: "Girls in New York are all playing rock and roll and following the trend. Country music has not had fresh blood for a long time. But Taylor is different. She Young, bubbly, and she will bring refreshing country music to the table.”
