My Prime Minister is so cute

But the exaggerated publicity in the newspapers, such as playing piano at the age of 8, made Ferdinand give up the idea.

"These politicians will do anything for publicity," he said, frowning with disgust. "Playing piano at the age of eight, mastering 8 musical pieces, singing, composing, dancing—all proficient... Haha, they never mind bragging."

"From this point of view, it's probably just a publicity stunt. The song 'See You Again' was probably written by someone else, and she claimed it was her own."

Shaking his head, Ferdinand put down the newspaper and decided not to pay any more attention to the matter.

Unexpectedly, after a public performance, a reporter came directly to him.

"Hello, Mr. Ferdinand. I'm a reporter from the Marble Newspaper," the reporter said with a smile. "As a renowned musician, could you please share your thoughts on the recently popular song 'See You Again' and the artist behind it?"

"I have nothing to say."

Ferdinand certainly disliked politicians like Avril who boasted recklessly for publicity, but he also had no good face for reporters, believing that both were birds of a feather.

"You mean, you think this is a good situation?" the reporter asked.

Ferdinand: “?”

He frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "What a p! If every musician is like this, I think music will be over!!!"

The reporter's eyes immediately lit up: "Do you think this is incorrect?"

"Correct."

Having said that, Ferdinand, not afraid of offending anyone, simply said, "Most likely he's just an unscrupulous politician using music for show! This kind of person is truly shameless. They have no shame at all for a few votes!!!"

Accompanied by Ferdinand's evaluation.

So the next day, a report titled "Music should not be used for political show" came out.

Thanks to the presence of professional musicians, the newspaper sold very well, so naturally, the district chief also saw it.

"I'm furious!"

In the office, Avril threw the newspaper to the ground in a rage: "This guy named Ferdinand actually said that I ruined music! He said I was putting on a show! What kind of show was I putting on? I just played and sang my own songs, okay?!"

"Also, I didn't promote the 18-door music myself. Someone is throwing mud at me!!!"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. The district chief turned around and asked fiercely, "Bird, aren't you going to find out who threw dirty water on me? Have you found out? I want to sue this person in court right now!!!"

"Well..."

Bird touched his nose and said, "Well, this is a bit difficult. The other party is hiding very well. I haven't found any trace of them yet."

He paused and said, "But I think you don't need to be too angry. Maybe what he scolded was quite good..."

Avril: “???”

【Evaluation: You deserve more criticism! 】

[Reward: No-Injury Whip/50 Experience]

Avril frowned: "What do you mean? He scolded me and I have to thank him???"

"Yes, black and red are also red."

Bird shrugged. "Besides, this little bit of dirty water is nothing. You're running for mayor, and even the most politically clean person running for governor will end up being a notorious perjurer, thief, body snatcher, alcoholic, filthy briber, and disgusting blackmailer."

"It seems to make sense."

Avril thought for a moment and said, "Then what should we do?"

"Of course I'm taking this opportunity to record a song and make some money from those black men first." Bird smiled. "How can you be qualified to comment on a song if you haven't even heard it? If I want to hear your original songs, don't I have to buy recording crystals?"

Chapter 239 Musical Genius Avril

In an era when tape recorders relied on the magic of a magician's hands, enjoying music was destined to be a luxury.

Only places like bars, restaurants, squares, and churches can afford tape recorders. As for playing music itself, it is not too expensive; what is expensive is the matching recording crystal.

Therefore, generally speaking, musicians who are not well-known are not worthy of having their songs recorded.

Only songs by famous musicians or songs that music companies are sure will sell well are eligible to be recorded and then released and sold publicly.

Given the current level of discussion Avril Lavigne has generated, and the high quality of the song "See You Again" itself, when Bird announced that he was going to record a song, a music company called "Melody House" was the first to smell the interest and rush to the door.

After briefly discussing the price and related distribution, we agreed to go to the recording studio the next day, trying to take advantage of this wave of popularity and complete the recording and distribution as quickly as possible.

Ever since.

the next day.

The two sat outside the recording studio, waiting for the final adjustments.

A recording studio is a room used specifically for recording audio.

In order to preserve the original sound to the greatest extent, almost the entire wall of the room is engraved with sophisticated magic circles to resonate with the singer's voice. The recorded sound is then recorded into a special crystal for playback on a recorder.

Avril sat outside the studio, touched her empty stomach, and looked sad.

"Bird, I'm hungry."

She looked up at Bird beside her and tugged at his sleeve: "I only had a little breakfast."

hungry.

Food.

"Mr. District Chief, please be patient for a moment."

Bird smiled and reached out to touch the district chief's long, smooth golden hair. "For the sake of the performance, you can't eat too much right now."

As the saying goes, "When you are full, you blow the flute, and when you are hungry, you sing." This means that people who play wind instruments need to eat a full meal to have the strength to play; and those who sing opera need to go hungry, as an empty stomach gives them more space to control their breath. Under normal circumstances, this difference would not matter, but when it comes to recording a song, of course they have to do their best.

In fact, this little bit of hunger is nothing. The main reason is that Avril has never been hungry in her life, and she is also a greedy person, which makes it more difficult for her to endure.

"Okay."

Fortunately, the magician who was debugging at this time finally finished checking the situation of the magic circle and announced that the recording could officially begin.

Avril couldn't wait to stand up and walk into the studio, where a piano was already placed on the floor - there was no editing technology in that era, so they could only choose a tape recorder with poor sound quality to play songs.

The sound quality of this tape recorder is not as good as the one Bird used in his previous life. It's okay when it's recorded once and played back, but the sound quality is terrible when it's recorded again.

In comparison, it is better to just play it live.

The sound engineer, Bird and others were sitting outside the studio.

Avril tried a few notes briefly, cleared her throat, and after a prelude, she sang the first line of lyrics.

"It's been a long day without you my friend."

Listening to the beautiful and slightly sad music, the sound engineer was almost shocked.

Originally, he didn't have any expectations, especially after meeting Avril in person and seeing that she was really just a teenage girl, he was already prepared that he might not be able to record any good songs this time.

As a result, when Avril opened her mouth, he was stunned.

This is really something!

Bird was not surprised at all. After all, the district chief's musical level was something he had painstakingly accumulated with nearly 15000 experience points. Although he was not as good as any music master, with his natural good voice, it was still easy for him to sing such a simple song.

The manager of the music company was also very nervous.

After all, he took a risk by making the decision to record a song for Avril Lavigne in order to capitalize on the popularity of the song. Recording crystals are expensive to make, so what if the quality is too low and they don't sell? He'd definitely be scolded by his boss!

But after hearing Avril Lavigne's singing on the spot, the music company manager no longer had this worry and felt much more relaxed.

It will be a big hit, definitely a big hit!

Even if it doesn't sell well, at least if we take advantage of the current popularity to sell it, we won't lose money.

As for the district chief himself.

After a brief initial warm-up, Avril quickly got into the mood, forgetting her hungry stomach and fully immersing herself in the world of "See You Again". She constantly adjusted her singing style to achieve the best effect.

That look of concentration on one thing also made Bird, who was watching outside, feel relieved.

But if he knew what Avril was thinking now, he probably wouldn't be relieved.

"Hey, I'm so awesome!"

Avril's mind flickered with this thought: "I can actually sing so well and play the piano so well. It seems that I am quite talented in music... Humph, that fellow Bird always treats me like a fool and doesn't even let me eat enough. Next time I won't share the delicious food with him..."

It's really rare that one can still concentrate while singing.

In this case, after less than 5 attempts at recording, the recorded song had reached a level that everyone was satisfied with, which surprised the recording engineer.

Because actual recording is different from singing, in order to achieve the best effect, it is normal to sing more than ten or twenty times. He was even prepared to stay in the studio for another day, but it was done in less than an hour.

So, under the attention of a group of people, Avril walked out of the studio.

"Musical genius! Miss Avril, you are a true musical genius!"

"You will definitely have a place in the future history of music..."

The sound engineer and the manager naturally did not hesitate to praise Bird. After a few words of flattery, the district chief was flattered to the point of feeling a little light-headed. He looked at Bird with a slightly smug look on his face, his arrogance unbearable.

"Are you hungry?"

Bird smiled and said, "Let's go eat."

"Ah."

The district chief nodded first, then looked at him and said seriously, "Bird, when you address me from now on, you must add the words 'musical genius' in front of it."

Bird: “???”

No, you're getting cocky after just a few compliments, right?

With a sneer, Bird took out a piece of bread from his pocket, started eating it by himself on the spot.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to Bird... To be precise, it was the seemingly ordinary bread in Bird's hand, and Bird's facial expression as he tasted the bread with relish, which revealed an expression of desire.

It tastes so good.

What kind of bread is so delicious?

Avril was already hungry, and now her saliva was watering rapidly, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

"Bird, Bird..."

The district chief, who had been so inflated just now, suddenly calmed down. He reached out and held Bird's arm, shaking it back and forth. He quickly admitted his mistake and said, "Actually, there's no need to call him a musical genius..."

Chapter 240 Dispute and Big Sale

After completing the recording of "See You Again", Melody House immediately started working overtime to produce recording crystals and tried to spread the supply.

There is no time to be impatient. The popularity is about to fade away. If we don’t take advantage of it, it will be difficult to sell.

However, their worries were obviously unnecessary. After completing the recording, Avril immediately accepted an interview with the newspaper and responded to the report "Music should not be used for show."

The district chief was already furious after being attacked.

He had clearly finished a good song and performed it in front of so many people at a banquet. He was looking forward to being in the newspaper to receive praise and compliments. However, he was inexplicably accused of "political showmanship" and "ruining music" and was criticized. Who could stand it?

The situation in the Fox area was relatively better, but outside it was a complete chaos. A group of newspapers that had no idea about the situation were making up stories, and the public who were unaware of the truth were also criticizing.

Grace and tolerance?

For the district chief, these things don't exist. If she feels angry, she will say it directly and won't pretend to be indifferent.

Although she had made clarifications before, the public was more willing to believe what they saw. In their eyes, the buffs like "proficient in 18 musical instruments and playing piano at the age of 8" were complete nonsense.

[He played piano at the age of 8, learned to compose music in a month, and is proficient in 18 instruments. He really didn't care about his reputation for publicity.]

As a musician, I want to make it clear that composing music is a very difficult task. It's definitely not something an amateur can come up with on the spur of the moment. It requires a long period of musical accumulation. So I guess this song was probably written by someone else and then put under my name...

[What is this country like? I am lost in thought, and I ask myself!]

Before, Avril didn’t have enough influence. No one paid attention to what she said. In this era of print media, it was difficult for her voice to be heard outside the Fox area.

Now that the recording is complete, it’s time to strike back.

Avril Lavigne gave a newspaper interview and responded to a report titled "Facts Speak Louder Than Words."

During the interview, Avril expressed her criticism of the current newspapers' enthusiasm for publishing controversial content, completely disregarding objective facts and making a big fuss about anything they could find.

Next, she shared her performance experience of "See You Again". She once played it in public at a banquet, and all the guests present at the time could serve as witnesses for her. If that was not enough, she has commissioned Melody House to complete the recording of the song, and her song "See You Again" will soon be available on the market.

She performed all the singing and playing herself, and the Melody House Music Company can guarantee it.

The above is a euphemism embellished by the newspaper.
