Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 214 Troublesome Mixed Language Album

"In fact, the only ones who can be said to be proficient are violin, piano and bamboo flute. Bamboo flute is a kind of Chinese flute, which is similar to flute but has different timbre. Generally speaking, as long as you can distinguish the timbre of the two instruments well, master the After one, it will not be difficult to master the other. However, the harp and cello took me a lot of time to practice, and my mastery of these two instruments is probably only above average. I almost missed the performance in Los Angeles. There will be no more of these two instruments." Anji sighed suddenly while speaking, "Nat, don't let me talk to myself all the time, okay?"

"Well... I just don't know what to say," Natalie shrugged. "You know, I like music, but I only know about instruments. Of course, you play really well."

Angela stopped in her tracks and turned to look at the other party. Natalie slightly tilted her head so as not to meet her gaze. She had been like this ever since Angela asked for a walk with her alone.

"Are you still angry with me?" the girl asked softly.

"No, Angie, it's not."

"You're still mad at me!" The interrogative became an affirmative.

"No!" Natalie finally met her gaze, "I admit that I was really angry at the beginning, you gave me the feeling that you were using your identity to oppress me, which made me very unhappy, So I was angry. But... You kept calling me later, so I know you were just having fun, and you apologized to me in this way, I really didn't take that matter to heart anymore, only……"

She suddenly sighed and turned her head away: "When I face you, I always feel uncomfortable, always thinking... that day in your bedroom. And in the hotel... God, I never thought No. I would do that kind of thing with girls! It's... weird feeling!"

"too weird?"

"Yes, fear, anxiety, and..." Natalie's voice lowered, as if it was difficult to speak.

"And what?" Angela didn't seem to notice this, and continued to ask, just with a little temptation.

"...and excitement!" After saying the word, the girl seemed relieved, "You know what, it makes me feel like I'm gay! I really don't know what you were thinking at that time..."

"Maybe... I'm gay too, or have homosexual tendencies." Angela said this deliberately.

Natalie turned her head and looked at Angela without blinking: "Maybe that's it."

The girl looked at her silently, and suddenly stepped forward to embrace her in her arms. Natalie struggled slightly and put her hand on Angela's waist.The two girls hugged each other quietly like this. After a long time, Angela whispered in Natalie's ear: "I'm sorry, Nat. If I hurt you, please forgive me, okay? I love You, I don't want to lose you." Natalie suddenly felt something warm flow into her heart, perhaps because of the sincerity in Angela's words?

"It's okay, I think I've forgotten about those unpleasant things."

"So," Angela's voice became softer, "may I kiss you now, Nat?"

"No..." Natalie wanted to refuse, but her tone was not firm, and she didn't mean to push the girl away.

"Don't worry, there is no one on the street. There are no street lights here either. We are in the shadow of the trees and no one will see us." Angela said, pressing against Natalie's forehead, and then slowly moved her lips Go over and stop in front of Natalie.Even though the surrounding light was so weak, her vermilion lips still looked bright red, very alluring.

Natalie didn't have any thoughts, so she kissed her lips so actively. The two girls kissed not violently, but you came and I sucked each other's lips, occasionally sticking out the tongue to fiddle slightly, and Didn't go any further into it to communicate.

After Angela teased Natalie's little tongue again, she finally left her lips, and then stared into the girl's eyes: "Nat, I will never do anything with you without your consent in the future, I promise."

Perhaps because she was still immersed in the kiss just now, Natalie didn't understand the true meaning of the words, and nodded with a blushing face.

"So, can we sleep together tonight?"

Natalie raised her head: "You promise?"

"Yes, I promise." Angela nodded seriously, hugged her again and kissed her face.

Nat, never leave me, never, okay?The girl said silently in her heart.

When she hugged Natalie from the very beginning, a floodgate seemed to open in her heart, and a sense of inexplicable comfort surged out. This feeling is not unfamiliar. When she kissed the girl next to her I have experienced it during sex, comfort and sex, especially when I was with Natalie, but it has always been the feeling of a long stream, and I don’t know why it gushes out like a bank burst today.

But Angela didn't think about the reason, she just wanted to hold Natalie in her arms, that's all.

After returning to Los Angeles from New York, Angela began to record a new album non-stop. Not surprisingly, the new album will still be released during the summer vacation. A lot of time has been wasted because of the signing incident. Disney hopes to make up for it, but unfortunately This mixed-language album is a fusion of many things, and it took more time to produce than an ordinary English album.

Angela leaned on the recording desk, listened carefully to the music just recorded with the earphones, and never let go of her slightly frowning brows. This action made John and Eric who were also in the recording studio look at each other and smile wryly. "Well, I have to admit, this version is the best." The girl finally said after putting down the headphones.

This answer made John and Eric both heave a sigh of relief, but John asked uneasy: "So are you sure you are using this version?"

"I think so." Angela nodded with a little helplessness.

The song that has just been recorded is one of the two Chinese songs, which is the song "Peacock Flies Southeast" that I sang when I was a street performer in Chinatown, New York!This song is really beautiful, and it is very simple and typical Chinese style.Angela naturally chose it.However, John and Eric were tossed a lot during the production.

As mentioned earlier, this song is very simple, and one person can sing while playing it with a guitar.In the original version, the arrangement is a typical pop music style, using guitars, tambourines and other instruments.But Angela didn't want to repeat this, she wanted to add more Chinese instruments.

It's a pity that she doesn't know much about Chinese musical instruments. After all, since she was born, she has been exposed to Western musical instruments the most. Although she also worked hard to learn Chinese musical instruments, the bamboo flute is the only one she has mastered very well. Erhu and Guzheng are of average level.Others such as pipa and dulcimer are limited to understanding.

Although Eric is a first-class producer, he can't help much in this regard. He can only give good or bad opinions from his own point of view after the girl is forced to join.

However, at least Angela still has some self-knowledge, and she is not a music idiot. After a few arrangements, but the arrangement became more and more ugly, she obediently followed Eric's suggestion and changed it back, only in the prelude and interlude. Bamboo flute was added in the middle, then the tambourine was canceled, guitar playing and more synthesized music were added, and finally a version different from the original "Peacock Flies to the Southeast" was obtained.But this is far from over.

"Okay, we still have three songs, which one do we want to record first?" Angela looked at the time, there are still many, so you can continue.

John scratched his head and glanced at Eric with a headache.The latter sat in front of the recording desk, adjusting something seriously, as if he hadn't seen anything.

The old man had no choice but to sigh, and looked at the girl: "The Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra has helped record the song "Time to say goodbye". Do you need to record this song first?"

"Time to say goodbye" was jointly performed by blind singers Bocelli and Sarah Brightman in 97. It swept the field of classical pop crossover music as soon as it was released!It is a rare classic!This song was originally an Italian classical song released in 94. Its name was "timeless". "!

Compared with Sarah Brightman, Angela's current vocal range is still far behind. Although she has never stopped exercising, the reason why she copied this song so boldly is... because she wants to Sing "My Heart Will Go On" to warm up!As for whether or not this classic song will be ruined, it is not in her consideration at all. According to the girl, since Ah Mei can sing the Chinese version of "Time to say goodbye", it is no big deal for me to sing the English version.

If there is a classical song lover who travels back, she must take a kitchen knife and chase her for a few streets. How dare she ruin classics so boldly, and so confidently!

It's a pity that no one can stop this guy from messing around now.

"Have they already recorded it? I really want to thank you!" Angela said in surprise. The orchestral part of the song was originally performed by the famous London Symphony Orchestra. The Philharmonic Orchestra, and the girl personally requested it, because she had cooperated with them when she was the guest performer of Yitzhak before, and then she planned to find them for the soundtrack of "Titanic". But in this way, the recording of the album is particularly troublesome. Thinking about the recording of "The Peacock Flies to the Southeast" just now, I understand why it was so time-consuming.

But the troubles are not limited to these. Angela was excitedly picking up the earphones and going inside to start recording the song. Suddenly, she noticed that John's expression was a little bit ecstatic, and she stopped thinking for a few seconds. Looking at the other party with a smile not a smile: "Have you got what I want, John?"

"What do you want? What is it?" The music director pretended not to understand.

"Don't pretend to be stupid, you understand!" The girl looked at the other party with a smile, and then popped out three Chinese characters from her mouth: "The case of guillotine beauty!"
