The legend of rebirth

Chapter 531 The First Shot

Mai Ruina's album Ye Luo is so carefully selected, and she is doing it slowly.

Ye Luo now doesn't have to rush to make music, because as the owner of a record company, he already has enough good and enough people under him to run the entire record company.

After taking over Morgan Records, with the current staffing of Beauty Company, even without Ye Luo, it would still be a stable major label record company that could rank high in the entire American record industry.

There are only a dozen major labels in the United States, and the record companies that can be among them all stand at the top of the world's popular music. Although there is still some distance from the pinnacle, this distance is not too far away.

Morgan Records has a very mature production team, Damon Spark was originally one of them, and in this record company, Damon Spark is indeed the best, although he is slightly worse than him, but still at the same level There are five or six musicians above.

With the addition of these mature musicians, the creative pressure of Meiren Company has been greatly relieved.

So, recently, even Ding Shaoyang is reckoning to slow down and hold his breath to release one or two high-quality albums, which will keep pace with Ye Luo's albums in terms of sales.

This is especially true for Ye Luo, he is making an album now, or he doesn't make it, it will definitely be the best of the best, and he is not afraid to spend a little more time.
For Mai Ruina's album, Ye Luo's goal is to sell more than 5000 million copies in the US market.

Ye Luo just buried this goal in his heart and dared not say it out loud.Because there are only more than 3 million people in the United States, which means that one sixth of the people will pay for this album. This goal is actually very exaggerated.

Relatively speaking, China's music market is limited by fans' legal awareness, while in the United States, the legal awareness is very strong, but limited by the total population.

Of course, Ye Luo's record was made slowly, not only because he wanted to keep improving, but also because there were many other things.

The program that involved Ye Luo's energy the most was of course "Music Rescue".

He doesn't need to be a music producer for the time being, but he can't escape the job of a judge.The first episode will be aired on NO.20 this month. The face-to-face meetings recorded before are just leftovers from the show, and the main course has not been recorded yet.

This morning, Ye Luo sat in the studio and began to formally record the first episode of the program.

There are currently sixteen singers shortlisted. To determine the top four, in fact, two rounds are enough, sixteen to eight, eight to four. If the schedule is tighter, two episodes can be done.

But "Music Rescue" is a program with [-] episodes per season. Originally, Yang Yuanshan didn't want to do it for such a long time, because the broadcast cycle was too long.But American Idol has [-] episodes this year, so NBC ordered [-] episodes at once.

If the top four were decided in the first two episodes, and Ye Luo came in the next 28 episodes, then Ye Luo must be crazy. How many good songs will be spent to fill this show, the price-performance ratio is too bad.

Therefore, the sixteen singers had to compete for more than ten rounds to decide the final four. In the first four rounds, only one was eliminated in each round.

In the first four episodes, four singers will appear in each episode, and each singer will have two songs.One is a representative work of their previous career, or the best work they sang, and the other is a work that Damon Spark carefully selected for them and then made a tailor-made adaptation. It is not original, but actually There is also a certain creative ratio.

These two songs are actually to show their original level.

In order to have highlights in each issue, Abigail Livingston, Henry Dean, Shirley Smith, and Joseph Rice, four singers who are stronger than others, were inserted into the first four issues respectively inside.

This is equivalent to dividing sixteen singers into four groups. Each group is in the first four rounds. The top three qualify and the last one is eliminated.Then there were [-] remaining singers, who had qualified for the group and entered the round-robin competition.

Today, as the first issue, the four singers will sing two songs respectively. Of course, the live version of Qin Shiyue's "Hero" must be recorded well at the beginning, which will be broadcast as the opening song.

Ye Luo played the piano in the studio hall and personally accompanied Qin Shiyue. With the changing scenes and melody, this song was performed by Qin Shiyue in a soul-stirring manner.

After this song, Ye Luo's remaining task today was to sit on the judging panel and pretend to be a master.

Because the right to decide the elimination of the first four phases is not with the judges, but with the audience.

In fact, in this show, the audience has the final say on who to eliminate and who to keep, and the judges generally only have the right to comment and make suggestions.

"However." When the host announced the rules, he added, "The savior of our music career this season, Mr. Ye Luo, has the right to save.

If he thinks that the singer who was eliminated in this issue is worthy of being saved, he will give the singer a new song.

This new song will be used as the opening song of the next issue, and the audience will vote instantly. If more than 80.00% of the audience at the scene approve of the singer's performance, then he will be saved and will be recommended to the next stage by Mr. Ye Luo Contest.

Right, Mr. Ye Luo? "

Ye Luo nodded in the judges' seat: "Yes. However, I will use my right to save very cautiously.

So, singers, you're still on your own.When encountering difficulties, the premise of waiting for others to save you is to first save yourself. "

"Ok, first of all, we invite the first professional singer tonight, Abigail Livingston."

The first seed player is this black middle-aged woman, Abigail Livingston.

In the first stage of the competition, Ye Luo's right to save was actually mainly for these four seeded players.Once something unexpected happens to them, Ye Luo has the right to give them another chance.

Because the overall strength of these four people is indeed higher than the other twelve people.

Of course, Ye Luo would also be very objective. If they were not mentally fit and sang collapsed on the spot, then Ye Luo could only stand by and watch.Because no matter how good the technique is, but the psychology is not enough, the possibility of collapse in the end is still very high, Ye Luo will not take this risk.

Abigail Livingston is Ye Luo's favorite singer. She is very skilled. In Ye Luo's opinion, she is the most stable among the four seeded players.

Ye Luo didn't want to use his right to save in the first episode, because saving was a very precious opportunity. Neither Ye Luo nor the program producer wanted to give the audience the impression that the right to save was cheap.

Abigail Livingston was dispatched in the first period, precisely because of her stable skills and the lowest possibility of losing the chain.

Abigail Livingston's performance in the first round tonight did not disappoint Ye Luo's expectations, and she did not take any risks, but chose a well-regulated song, singing very steadily, with a mellow mezzo-soprano Skillful soul music skills, very charming.

Just when Ye Luo thought that she could make soy sauce with peace of mind, an accident happened.

The other three singers tonight are collectively superb!
As a judge, Ye Luo will not participate in the singer's rehearsal for the competition. He doesn't know the preparations of the other three singers today.

As a result, these three singers, two males and one female, under the careful design of Damon Spark, the effect on the stage is not ordinary.

After all, they are all professional singers. After all, the meeting is just singing a cappella. They really go out on stage and show their best side. These professional singers are not vegetarians.
In this way, Abigail seemed relatively mediocre, and she was too conservative in choosing songs tonight.

After the first round of singing, Abigail stood on the edge of the cliff.

In the second round, Abigail began to show her strength as a seed player, singing a high-pitched song very vigorously.

Abigail's high-pitched voice may not be very high, at least in Ye Luo's eyes, there is a gap between her and Song Yan, but one of her characteristics is that her voice is very thick, full of timbre, and full of breath. Very "big".

As soon as this song was released, Ye Luo felt more stable again.

As a result, the other three singers were like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, and none of them were bad in the second round. Ye Luo, Qin Shiyue, and Lawrence found out after listening to it that even though Abigail was the strongest in this round, he was not strong enough.

Looking at the two rounds together, in fact, the four singers are basically tied in terms of singing tonight.

"The performance of these four singers tonight is worthy of Mr. Ye Luo's saving power." Lawrence said during the audience voting.

"Yes." Qin Shiyue nodded, "After all, there are only two songs. As professional singers, everyone has their own skills. If you take out the two best songs, there is still a great possibility that they will go hand in hand.

In this way, Abigail has no advantage. "

"Well." Lawrence said, "Compared to the other three, Abigail's career dilemma is not particularly sympathetic. Moreover, her appearance has no advantage. If her singing skills are not outstanding, this will be very dangerous. "

"Don't be so pessimistic." Ye Luo smiled, "At least the quality of the first episode is still very good, and the music effect is much better than I expected. Damon can do it."

"What I'm worried about now is the level of the program." Lawrence said, "The four singers performed so well in the first episode, which will help the ratings in the second episode, but if the quality of the next few episodes can't keep up, it will be a problem." question."

"It's okay, as long as Ye Luodu uses his power to save more." Qin Shiyue smiled, "The audience just listen to the opening song every episode, that's enough, and the ratings will definitely rise steadily."

"I don't doubt Mr. Ye's ability." Lawrence smiled and said to Ye Luo, "Recently, our whole family has been listening to your album. My daughter is obsessed with you. Mr. Ye, my daughter asked me to ask Tell me, do you have a girlfriend?

If not, do you mind waiting for her for five years, she is only 13 years old this year. "

"Mr. Lawrence, you are too good at joking." Ye Luo laughed for a while.

After chatting for a while, the voting results of this episode came out.
The four singers received very close votes, and Abigail Livingston, unfortunately, came last.

All four singers stood on the stage, welcoming the result. Abigail collapsed on the spot, crying so hard that the other three singers were all comforting her.
"Mr. Ye Luo, the decision is up to you now, will you save Abigail Livingston?" the host asked Ye Luo.

Ye Luo looked at the two judges around him: "What do you think?"

"I think Abigail's performance tonight deserves to be saved." Lawrence said, "Mr. Ye, you should give her another chance."

"Abigail's singing tonight is flawless. She has done her best within the limits of the song itself." Qin Shiyue said, "Such singers should not be abandoned by fate, let alone excellent singers." The music producer missed, Ye Luo, I suggest you save him."
Ye Luo nodded, and then said solemnly: "Abigail, I can give you another chance, but this is the last time. Next, it's up to you." Cool mobile phone is waiting for you!
