Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 215 Respective Parties

According to the agreement negotiated with Disney, Angela would have at least 5 English songs in her mixed-language album. The girl originally planned to write three songs herself, and then choose two songs from the songs she had heard in her previous life.The two songs that I chose were "TheDayYouWentAway" by M2M, and the other was "Timetosaygoodbye". But when she was choosing Chinese songs for herself, she accidentally thought of a very interesting song. After thinking about it for a long time, I replaced a French song with this one - "Ifyoufeelmylove"!

This rock song with R&B style is sung by a rock band composed of girls in Romania. The reason why it is interesting is that there is an excerpt from a Beijing opera interspersed in the R&B. case"!

"Well, we did find someone and recorded a few versions." Under Angela's gaze, John had to admit, but then immediately added: "But I really don't know if these have achieved what you want The effect, you know, is that we can't hear what they're singing at all."

"That's fine. If it's not suitable, I'll go and listen to their recording next time."

"Oh my God, Angie, you know what? To record what you call 'drug containment when sitting in a sealed house'..."

"It's 'Bao Longtu meditating in Kaifeng Mansion'."

"Well, whatever it is, we have contacted theaters in Chinatown all over the country for this small episode, and even sent people to Taiwan and Hong Kong, so I hope to use them as much as possible, okay? "

From the helpless smile on the music director's face, Angela could see how much effort they put in, and it was really troublesome to ask them to help record Peking Opera.The girl scratched her head in embarrassment: "Well, I think it's okay, anyway, I only need a small part of it."

As she spoke, she grabbed the earphones and signaled that the other party could play the clip of "The Case of Gui Mei". Although she had hardly heard of Peking Opera in her previous life, she still had more say than John and the others.

But even so, Angela still frowned when she heard it, but at the same time, she had to feel that the guy who made the song "Ifyoufeelmylove" was really a genius. Peking opera or Chinese drama has a characteristic that sometimes you have to wait to sing a line. For a long time, this and R&B are two parallel lines, and there is no possibility of intersection, but that guy chose the most suitable section from "Bao Longtu meditating in Kaifeng Mansion", which is from "Looking at the details from the front" From "writing" to "that man who repents of marriage gets married", this passage is sung fast and anxiously.The producer just saw this, and the mixing was done very well, the whole song sounded very special, and I had heard it over and over again in the previous life. "Okay, I think this section is fine." Since these, Angela used them directly, "However, when I was mixing, I wanted to remove the sound of those gongs and drums."

John finally breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded immediately: "Okay. This one is no problem, but the song...um..."No Waiting"—is it pronounced like this—can we start recording tomorrow?"

"Have you found the right child?"

"Yes, a total of 4 are 6 years old, and they speak standard Chinese. We made an appointment to come over tomorrow morning."

"Are you sure they speak Mandarin, not Cantonese?" Angela raised her eyebrows.

"Hey, Angie, our company has Chinese employees, I don't think this problem should be a problem?!" John raised his hands.

"Okay, okay, then tomorrow will be fine." The girl shrugged, agreeing.

What the two of them were discussing was the other of the two Chinese songs - "Mudanjiang". , Angela requires that it must be Mandarin, and many Americans can't tell the difference between Mandarin and Cantonese. Fortunately, it seems that this problem has been solved so far.

In this way, the new album was slowly recorded in trouble. Although Disney announced at the beginning that Angela's new album would be a mixed-language album, the fans were still eagerly waiting. A survey conducted by a newspaper showed that 90% of the fans said that They don't mind girls singing in other languages, and the remaining 10% hope that this is an English-only album, but they don't object. They say they may only listen to English songs by then.

Then, Disney didn't release any more details about it—they didn't even say which language Angela would sing in besides English, only that there were three languages ​​in total, and that one of the languages ​​would be produced by the girl herself.

When music critics talked about this place in their columns, they also speculated about Angela's production level.Most people think that she will be responsible for the production of French songs. After all, the song "My Name Is Irene" in the EP was released in French. As for the other language, there are different opinions.

"Obviously, she may use Chinese." Jessica murmured while looking at the newspaper.

"What?" the father who was driving asked at this moment.

"No, it's nothing, Dad." The girl put down the newspaper. "Are we there yet?"

"It's right in front." Mr. Alba didn't ask much, and he drove the car to a stop in front of an independent house on the street. The house was brightly lit, and there was music playing from time to time. It was obvious that there was a party.

"Then, I'm going now." Jessica kissed her father, opened the door and was about to get out of the car.

"Jessie, remember my advice." Mr. Alba reminded.

"Okay, Dad, I know what I have to do." Jessica sighed and spread her hands.

The father smiled and kissed his daughter again: "Okay, go, I will pick you up at 9 o'clock."

After ringing the doorbell, a black-haired girl opened the door amidst the deafening music, and then hugged Jessica happily: "Hi, Jessie, you are finally here." After that, she kept walking around wait and see.

"I'm sorry, Alice, I didn't ask her out. You know, Angela is a big star, and she's always... very busy." Jessica explained.

Alice immediately showed a disappointed look, but soon returned to normal: "It's a pity, I thought I could give everyone a surprise. But it doesn't matter, Jesse, thank you anyway, fortunately, I didn't announce her in public. will come."

She said and pulled Jessica into the room: "Okay. Don't be dazed, let's come together."

Jessica met Alice in acting school. The other party is Hispanic, very beautiful and sociable. Jessica and her get along well, and she was invited to a birthday party, so the other party knows her and Angela very well. Therefore, when holding a party at home this time, I hope Jessica can invite Angela to come.

In fact, Jessica didn't call Angela. She knew that if it was her request, Angela would definitely agree.But she still didn't call her.Recently, especially after her 14th birthday, the contact with Angela has slowly begun to diminish.She didn't want to make her heart feel more uncomfortable every time she faced Angela.Because she can't tell others what's on her mind, father, mother, friends, teachers, everyone!

At Angela's birthday party, there was a moment when she wanted to say everything in her heart, but in the end she still didn't say anything.

Maybe as time goes by, I will slowly get better?Jessica thought so, but, is it really so?

"Hi, hello, my name is William, William Bucket, what's your name." A boy passed through the dancing crowd and suddenly appeared in front of Jessica.

"My name is Jessica, Jessica Alba, nice to meet you." Although Jessica didn't like the way the other party behaved, she still smiled back at the other party out of politeness.

"Jessica? This is such a good name, I like it very much," the other party laughed, "By the way, where have I met you?" Before Jessica could reply, he suddenly realized, "By the way, You're an actor like Alice, right? Yes, yes, you're the Judy from Jumanji that came out last month, right?!"

"Yes, your observation is very careful." Jessica nodded, and when "James of the Brave" was mentioned, she was suddenly slightly absent-minded. She only knew it after hearing the conversation between the director and the producer. It was Angela who recommended herself for the film, which made her feel both sad and happy.

Although she auditioned to get the role, it was undeniable that Angela's recommendation played a big role, making Jessica feel like all her hard work was in vain.However, at the same time, she also clearly knew that she had a special place in Angela's heart.

Whether it is bitter or sweet, only Jessica herself knows.

"Hey, you know what? When the beasts in the movie rushed out suddenly, I was taken aback. I almost thought these guys would hit me." The guy named William was still chattering, Jesse Ka had to interrupt: "Sorry, William, I think I have to go to the bathroom."

The other party froze for a moment, then raised his hand: "No problem, I'll wait for you."

Jessica ignored this sentence directly. After going to the bathroom, she was about to go upstairs to stay there, when she happened to meet Alice who came down.

"How is it? Are you having fun?" Alice said with a smile.

"Not... not bad." Jessica spread her hands.

"So is there any boy you like?" The other party immediately asked in her ear.

"What?" The girl froze.

"I've never seen you have a boyfriend. It's actually pretty good to have a boyfriend. If there's someone I like at the party, I can introduce you." Alice blinked.Maybe I could actually try to get a boyfriend?Jessica thought of this, and at this moment Alice suddenly pointed to a boy downstairs and shouted: "How about that guy? He's the captain of the baseball team at the neighbor's children's school. He looks pretty good."

Jessica looked in the direction she was pointing, and couldn't help laughing. The guy sitting on the chair drinking Coke was William who just hit up a conversation with her. Oh my god, he even reached out and grabbed his crotch!On this occasion!

Are all boys this disgusting?Jessica shook her head, and a thought suddenly popped into her head: What is Angela doing now?

Angela is also at the party now. For her, the party is a thing, whether it is a civilian party-a bunch of young people having fun and dancing together; or a reception for rich people-a bunch of well-dressed people It's enough for guys to compliment each other once in a while, and too many will make people bored.

But this time the party was held by the film club, and she still needed the help of the film club to complete her plan, and Louis was about to graduate soon, so it was better to save face.

"Hi, hello." Angela said hello to people she knew or didn't know. Although she tried her best to appear low-key and dressed in ordinary clothes, she was so famous that she didn't want to be conspicuous. Besides, There are also a large group of reporters outside the room who heard the news, and they don't know how to leak the news.

"Hello, Angela." Another girl came over to say hello. Angela vaguely remembered that the other girl was called Aida, who was in the same grade as herself, and nodded to her as a salute, but when she saw clearly the boy on the other's arm But he was slightly taken aback, it was Edward Prudence who had met twice.

"This is my boyfriend, Edward." Ada introduced.

"Hello, Edward."

"Hello, Miss Angela."

Although surprised, Angela didn't express too much, the other party also smiled lightly, shook hands and settled the matter, and then the two walked away quickly, and the girl immediately left these things behind.

After staying in the house for another 10 minutes, Angela slipped into the garden. She wanted to talk to the guys from the film company, but everyone was having a good time at the party, so I had to wait.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at the garden, I found that someone had already stayed there first. There was a bright light under a certain tree, and it was obvious that someone was smoking.

"Angela?" The girl was about to leave to go to the other side when the other party spoke first, which sounded very familiar.

"Edward?" Angela turned her head and called.

"Yes, it's me." The figure came out from under the tree and extinguished the cigarette in his hand with a smile. "I didn't expect to see you here. Why, don't you like parties?"

"To be exact, I don't like dancing." Angela shrugged. "What about you? Not going to accompany your girlfriend?"

"Actually..." Edward smugly smugly said, "She's not my girlfriend."

"Oh?"

"Ada doesn't have a dance partner, I just impersonate her temporarily at her request."

Angela looked him up and down, then shook her head: "So, you are very incompetent."

"Why do you say that?"

"Since she's asking for your favor, it shouldn't be known until the party is over, or at all."

"But I believe you won't tell, won't you?" Edward spread his hands, "Some secrets can be kept secret for a longer time if they are known by reliable people. Do you want me to keep this secret with you?"

This was a bit ambiguous, but... Angela didn't pay attention to it at all, or she didn't feel anything at all, and rolled her eyes: "I didn't hear anything." Then she turned and left.

Edward couldn't help but stay where he was, this is... what's going on?No matter what, the playful smile should be right, a sense of frustration suddenly came to my heart.
