Chapter 225 The Destined Daughter
"you sure?"

Mariah Carey looks like an old cow who won't believe you unless you write a written agreement.

snort!
You Niu Benshan, you actually doubted me!

If you want to write a play, then write a document!
Huang Ze is very patient with these employees who can most likely earn him tens of millions of dollars or even more a year, and he doesn't act like a boss.

Who has a grudge against money?

What’s more, it’s so much money!
He picked up the pen and started writing quickly.

I wrote at least one song for each of Mariah Carey's remaining two albums.

Signed, Jerry Huang.

Well, the front is written in English, but the signature name is written in Chinese characters.

Jerry Huang of Chinese characters.

Mariah Carey was a little confused. After taking the document, she lowered her head and studied it for several seconds before slowly raising her head. "Huang, is this your name?"

"Why not?" Huang Ze pointed at the word "Huang", "Does it look familiar? This is my Huang!"

"Is that right?"

"That's it."

"Oh!" Mariah Carey put away the receipt doubtfully and put it in her new luxury bag. "I'll buy a safe and lock it up when I get home."

"By the way, Huang, have you finished writing the song for the new group? I'll show it to you, and maybe I can help you revise it." Mariah Carey asked curiously.

"It's not finished yet!" Huang Ze always felt that she might have bad intentions. Besides, Huang Ze hadn't started to think about what song to write for Zhou Huimin and the others. This was what he just did to perfunctorily deal with Mariah Carey.

"Oh, then I'm going back to the United States. If there is such a thing again in the future, keep looking for me!" Mariah Carey blinked her right eye at Huang Ze, "I don't want any reward, just a song is enough!"

After saying that, Maria Kay stood up, humming a song and walked towards the door.

“In this time of fear.”

“When prayer so often proves in vain.”

The singing stopped abruptly. Maria Kay held the door handle, turned her head and laughed, "Songs of this level are really good and nice to listen to."

"That's not nonsense, of course it sounds nice." Huang Ze rolled his eyes speechlessly.

After all, it’s the theme song of the previous life’s “The Prince of Egypt”, an Oscar-winning song, how could it not be nice?
……

After Mariah Carey left, everyone started talking about the girl group, which had been formed for almost two years. Huang Ze went to test the learning results of the three of them over the past year.

I have learned English well and it is worth the foreign language environment of more than a year.

As for the vocals...

Uh, it’s okay!

After listening to Mariah Carey's singing skills and talent, Huang Ze felt that the three of them were just okay.

The strongest one among them should be Izumi Sakai.

However, Izumi Sakai was more of a singer-songwriter in her previous life, and her singing skills were not comparable to Mariah Carey's.

But, enough is enough.

After all, it's just a band, so there are requirements for singing skills, but they don't need to be top-notch.

So, after listening to the three people singing a few English songs, Huang Ze applauded and said, "You sang well."

“There has been a lot of progress in just one year.”

"Okay, we can prepare to release the song now."

Then, three young men began to push and pull each other, and I didn’t know what they were trying to do.

After a while, the thinnest and smallest Yang Gangli was pushed out.

As soon as she opened her mouth, she said in a sweet voice, "Mr. Huang, what about our song?"

"It's not finished yet. Don't worry, it will be done soon." Huang Ze smiled and made a victory gesture. After encouraging the three of them, he returned to the office.

"Start writing songs!" Huang Ze couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

I'm not kidding when I say I write songs very quickly.

Isn't it just a song for a girl group? What's so difficult about that?
In his previous life, he had a conflict with SHE's fans. In order to irritate them, he found the original version of the song that SHE covered and listened to it over and over again.

I can’t say that I have sung every song, but I still remember most of the ones that became popular after being covered.

For example, the original English version of "Not Yet Lovers" is "Brown Eyes" by Destiny's Child.

The original version of "Half Sugarism", originally sung by the i5 group, and later made popular by the Swedish girl group Play, is "Cinderella".

"Don't Say You're Sorry" is a cover of Britney Spears' "Everytime".

and also……

"Huh? Are these enough for three songs?" Huang Ze was still planning to write more, but when he found out that he had enough for an EP, he stopped for the time being.

I’ll copy it later.

Let’s do these three first.

Huang Ze concentrated on writing the lyrics and music for these three songs.

Then he put his chin in his hand and thought about something, "By the way, what's the name of the girl group?"

SHE?

Forget it. Thinking of the experience of confronting that fan, Huang Ze doesn’t want to use this name.

After thinking about it, I decided to just choose one from the original versions of the English songs I just remembered.

play or Destiny's Child.

In comparison, Huang Ze thinks the latter one sounds better.

Anyway, Beyoncé is only 8 years old now, and there are still a few years before she forms a group, so Huang Ze has no pressure in using her.

"That's it!"

Huang Ze slammed the table and called over several producers from Xinghai Records and Zhou Huimin, Yang Gangli, and Izumi Sakai.

The secretary made several copies of the lyrics and music, and handed them to everyone. "In the near future, we will work together to create the first EP of the new group Destiny's Child, and strive to enter the European and American markets and achieve the same success as Mariah Carey!"

Huang Ze knew that this was unlikely, but when it came to boosting morale, of course he had to say something positive and exaggerate.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the scene held their breath.

They are in the music business, so they know how terrifying Mariah Carey's success is.

Even large global record companies like Warner Music and Universal Music may not be able to launch a genius in several years.

If the girl group launched can also...

Do not!
Even if it's only half or a quarter of his level, he would definitely be the No. 2 among Chinese-language filmmakers besides Huang Ze.

And he will be the second one who is far ahead of the third one.

After taking a deep breath to cool down their brains, everyone began to look down at the lyrics and music score with curiosity.

The three members of the group even hummed along with the music in a low voice.

"Remember the first day when I saw your face."

"Remember the first day when you smiled at me."

"You stepped to me and then you said to me..."

"Okay, get ready to arrange the music. I'll personally oversee it, and the rest of the recording and MV will be up to you."

Huang Ze always does things as he wants to do them, and quickly urged his men to start preparing.

In early July, the EP was finally completed.

Naturally, I started to stock up with the help of Warner records.

Initially, it was only available in the United States.

Although all three of them have East Asian faces, considering that the lyrics of all three songs were written by Huang Ze and he had previously introduced a superstar like Mariah Carey, Warner also prepared 100,000 copies.

The preparation of stocks and the promotion of the album started simultaneously, and the song that was promoted to the charts was "Everytime".
