The legend of rebirth

Chapter 529 Contestant Confirmation
"What's your name?"

"My name is Abigail, Abigail Livingston."

"My name is Henry Dean."

"Joseph Rice."

……

"Please prove your identity as a professional singer."

"This is my record label contract, of course, this contract has expired."

"It's a record I've released, specifically, it's a record for our band, and I was the frontman of a professional rock band."

"I'm not signed to a record label, I haven't been able to release a record, I busk on the subway, and this is a photo of me doing it, and I do it for a living, and that's what I do."

……

"What is your professional dilemma?"

"I can't get my contract renewed... well... I just got out of rehab and I want to start my life over again."

"The band broke up five years ago. Why? I stabbed the drummer and he fucked my wife. I just got out of prison last month and no record company would sign a singer like me and no band would accept me. I don't have a home now, and I don't have a job."

"Dilemma? Dude, it's obvious. I'm a Juilliard graduate, but I can't find a job. I'm busking. I think I deserve more respect for my professionalism."

……

"Then, please show me your professionalism."

"I'm a soul singer, so my picks are..."

"I'm a rock singer. A cappella is kind of... but that's okay... I need this opportunity."

"I'm a future country music guru..."

……

"Congratulations, you are shortlisted."

"I think you deserve this opportunity, you're shortlisted."

"My answer is... Yes."

……

Three days later, Ye Luo, Qin Shiyue, and Lawrence interviewed more than 130 singers, and among them, there were very few singers who could really meet Ye Luo's requirements.

The American music market is indeed a mature market, and the singers who are really eliminated by this market do have problems.

On the morning of the fourth day, a temporary meeting of the program director group was underway.

"So, Shirley Smith, Abigail Livingston, Henry Dean, Joseph Rice, these four are the most outstanding singers." Ye Luo said, "Of course, there are also Four or five are fine."

"Okay, thank you Mr. Ye." Director Matt said, "We plan to broadcast these interviews interspersed with the competition segment later, not as a separate episode. Because we are a new program after all, and we need to publish it as soon as possible. Play, not too much foreplay."

"That's reasonable." Ye Luo nodded.

"The recording of the first competition session will be held three days later." Matt looked at Ye Luo and said cautiously, "Mr. Ye, then this is to show that the singer is singing your song, and during the competition There is a difference in the realm of singing other songs. Shouldn’t the stage design of our competition be simpler? In terms of sound effects, should we also restrain ourselves and not be the best?
The overall effect is under control, do you have any better suggestions? "

"Oh, Matt, you're worrying too much." Ye Luo smiled, "We are a new show, and new shows are not eligible to be retained at the beginning, so the sixteen shortlisted singers in the previous rounds of the competition, we We must do our best on the stage and sound effects, and we must reflect the quality of the program.

After all, they are all professional singers, at least they used to be professional singers. If you package them on stage, the effect should be good.

As for the contrast between before they sang my new song and after they sang my new song, you don’t have to worry about that, it’s my business.

In fact, as singers, they can only use their voices to present music, but for a producer, singers are just one of their instruments.

When a good singer meets a good producer, who can write classic songs suitable for him to sing, there is a saying in China, which is called a sword is given to a hero, and red powder is given to a beautiful woman.

The stage effect when he sings can naturally be upgraded to a higher level. "

"That's good." Matt nodded.

"However, Matt, I won't participate too much in the competition part. Your director team will set up the rules and procedures of the competition. I'm not good at planning this kind of TV program. I'm only one of the three judges." Ye Luo said "Since I am a judge, it would be inappropriate for me to be the music director in the competition part to catch the performance of the contestants, and it will affect my fairness as a judge. After the final four are decided, I will Take over again."

"Okay." Matt didn't object, but he added, "But I still need a music director to check the quality of the music for the entire competition."

"That's no problem, just Damon Spark." Ye Luo said.

……

These three days were Ye Luo's most tiring three days in the past year or two. He had to interview more than 40 singers every day, and the recording time exceeded twelve hours.

Being under the camera for long periods of time is exhausting because almost every moment, his nerves are tense and he has to be at his best.

In this regard, Lawrence, the old TV personality, and Qin Shiyue, the new actress, are much more experienced than Ye Luo. At least Qin Shiyue was still radiant on the third night. This woman seemed to have unlimited energy.

"Ye Luo, let me cook tonight." On the Swan, Qin Shiyue suggested.

"Okay." Ye Luo slumped on the sofa, not wanting to move, suffering from headaches.

After Qin Shiyue entered the kitchen, Song Yan saw Ye Luo's tired face, stood up, walked to the back of the sofa, pressed her fingers on Ye Luo's temple, and gently massaged him.

Ye Luo's whole body froze slightly, and then she realized that being pressed by Song Yan like this was indeed very comfortable.

"In the past, when my father was sad about doing business, I would do this for him." Song Yan said softly, "He likes it so much."

"President Song." Mai Ruina, who was on the opposite sofa, said while clutching her forehead, "My head seems to be hurting a little too."

"Go, you're not my boss." Song Yan gave Mai Ruina a white look.

"Ye Luo, the boss, was also promoted by you, okay. It seems that you are his boss." Mai Ruina muttered.

"Sister Mai." Ye Luo said with a smile, "You should have a lot of adults, don't argue with Mr. Song, she is still young."

"Hmph, eccentric." Mai Ruina curled her lips and continued to play with the electronic equipment in her hand.

"Okay." Ye Luo said, "Anyway, I don't need to spend too much time in the competition of "Music Salvation". I will write the next album for you, Sister Mai. After all, our beauty company is a big label. Alright, the first batch of records has been sent out, and that’s the main force, Sister Mai.”

"Yeah." Mai Ruina put down the tablet computer in her hand with a straight look, "It's not too bad. I've been here for a while, and you've contributed a lot, but you only wrote one album for me. Cheapskate."

"Haha." Ye Luo laughed, "I'm to blame for this. But, with this new album, don't bury your creative talent, Sister Mai. Let's have six songs each."

"Okay." Melina swayed her body excitedly, "I'm not too busy recently, and I have accumulated a few good works. But my creative ability is far behind yours, how about this, I put My work will be sent to you first, and you will help me to change it."

"Okay, no problem." Ye Luo smiled, and then said, "Mr. Song, how is the sales of our first batch of albums for the US market?"

"How can it be counted so quickly." Song Yan's hand increased a little bit, as if she was complaining that Ye Luo had been the boss for so long and didn't understand the market, "It's only been three or four days since the sale.

Moreover, our albums this time include some that have not been released in the US market because of the copyright, and there are also brand new records. The workload is quite heavy. Do you really think that the people below don’t have time to work, my Ye Dong. "

Ye Luo smiled helplessly, he was indeed impatient.

"However, the overall momentum is quite good." Song Yan said, "Because I have often heard news that the record store is out of stock in the past two days and requires replenishment.

By the way, we have already sent these records to Warner, and we will start operations in other markets soon.Warner's ten selected albums this year were also sent to us.

I think when Mickey's new record comes out, these will be released as a second batch of records. "

Ye Luo listened to the good news and at the same time enjoyed Song Yan's fingertips gradually becoming gentle again, unknowingly, she felt drowsy for a while.

"Dinner is ready." Qin Shiyue's voice came from the kitchen. (It’s a great event to drop pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!
