Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 128 Actually, I'm a Good Person

"Very good, Miss Angela, this song was recorded perfectly, we can take a break now." Eric White, the producer in the recording studio, whistled and gave a big thumbs up to Angela behind the glass. thumb.

The girl took off her earphones, opened the door and walked out: "How was it? Passed the test smoothly?"

Eric froze for a moment, then remembered that he didn't turn on the microphone just now, so he nodded: "Yes, I have to say, you really deserve to be a magical girl. I have produced songs for many singers, and some of them have a better singing voice than you , there are those who enter the state faster than you, and some have deeper insights into music than you, and some have higher overall quality than you, but none of them possessed these when they were 12 years old. I want to say, this kind of lightness and softness The passionate style is perfectly interpreted by you, and your persistence is right!"

"You have to add my support. If it weren't for me, you stubborn guy doesn't know how long you would have argued with Angela." Burns next to him interjected at this moment.

"Shut up, you traitor!" Eric glared dissatisfiedly at the music director, but the other party laughed.

"Actually, Mr. Eric, the difficulty of singing a cover is always relatively small, after all, there is already a blueprint, isn't it?" Angela shrugged, "Also, if you can, please don't call me a magical girl or something Yeah, it's easy to think of a guy in his underpants."

"Really? I think it's a good title." Burns said with a shrug.

"Of course you think it's good, dear Mr. John, if you hadn't used 14 magic in the interview, how could the media call me a magic girl." Angela said angrily.

"It's not fair, Angela, I'm not the only one who describes you as magical," Burns said, spreading his hands, "If you don't like it, you can clarify it in the interview. You see, you haven't accepted it yet. A newspaper or TV interview, that's not what a Grammy winner for Best Newcomer would do."

"It's only been a few days, why worry, there are too many things to do, it's better to wait for a few more days to ferment, and you can also cooperate with the promotion of the new album, why not do more at one stroke?" The girl shrugged her shoulders, suddenly Sighing, he reached out and knocked on the table a few times, then raised his head and asked, "Mr. John, after releasing the new album, I want to release another single right away, is that okay?"

Burns stroked his chin: "From a market point of view...you should first talk about the reasons for doing so."

"Okay," Angela smiled slightly, and said slowly, "The person I liked the most, the person I admired the most, passed away on... January 1th. I was filming a movie in New Zealand at that time. I was very sad that I couldn't attend the funeral, so..." The girl sighed and shrugged her shoulders and raised her head, not continuing.

"January 1?! You mean..." Eric asked in surprise first.

"Yes," Angela interrupted with a nod, with an indescribable taste in her tone, "I visited her before Christmas last year, and I thought there would be a miracle, but... Butterflies' wings are in God's hands. It’s still powerless.”

Burns and White didn't understand what the last sentence meant, but it didn't hinder their curiosity: "Angela, are you familiar with that lady?"

"Yes, if we really want to count, we should be..." The girl who spoke here closed her mouth vigilantly, and changed the subject: "Don't worry about these things, Mr. Burns, what do you think? Say Honestly, if it wasn't for the fear of you going crazy, I would even change a song in the album."

"Have you written the lyrics yet?" Burns asked suddenly.

"Not yet, I just came back from New Zealand for less than 10 days." Angela shook her head.

"Well, it's a good thing you didn't ask for a change, otherwise we would really go crazy." The music director touched his forehead and said, as if he was relieved.

"That's why I thought about releasing a single. I won't be so capricious." The girl said with a smile.

"Understood, I will convey it to the people in the marketing department, but I don't know what the result will be. After all, that is not the scope of my responsibility." John spread his hands.

"Of course, of course, I understand." Angela nodded, and at this moment Eric interjected without losing the opportunity: "Okay, Miss Angela, let's continue recording the next cover song, this one is over for you There are also internal activities."

"Oh, internal activities." Angela rolled her eyes and walked inside, "Okay, let's continue, no problem."

The two songs covered, one from Aretha Franklin's "You Make Me Feel Good" after the black soul songs of the 70s and 98s, were released in the original world by Celine Dion in 5. Waiting for the [-] queens to sing together; the other song is from Madonna's "Beautiful Island", a Spanish dance style, which was covered by the French queen Alizee in the original world.

For these two songs, Angela likes them very much, and she chose them out of the many candidates at a glance. It is also because she likes them that she sings them effortlessly. "You Make Me Feel Good" makes her perform more ethereal. Although the vocal range is not wide enough, it is full of explosive power, and "Beautiful Island" made her lose the sexy inside, adding liveliness and playfulness, which has a special taste.That's why she told Eric that it would be relatively easy to do a cover.

And the so-called internal activities are to meet the kids from the Mickey Mouse Club. As early as the first EP caused waves, the kids of MMC have always hoped to meet the same company, but very mysterious Ms. AM, Of course, in addition to refusing, Disney still refused, after all, there was a contract first.

But the children never gave up. Every time they came to the record company to record a single, they would try to find a way to ask, who said they would never meet Miss AM?Spears was an example last time, but now that Ms. AM has revealed her identity, MMC's children's request to meet Angela is even stronger, and the person in charge can't ignore it, so she reported it to the high-level management, and the high-level management passed John Burns Asking the girl for advice, Angela considered that there were only a dozen or so children anyway, and after Britney promised her to keep it a secret last time, she did a good job and kept in touch with each other, so it would be good to just go and see her, So he readily agreed.

As soon as John pushed open a crack in the door, buzzing voices came from inside, and a girl's triumphant voice was especially clear: "Of course I have seen Angela, and not only have I seen her, but I have also hugged her, even I even kissed her! Erica and Joshua went with me, but they went back halfway, and now I regret it to death."

Angela next to the music director couldn't laugh or cry. Of course she knew who was talking, but... Maybe it was because of psychological reasons, the girl suddenly felt that John's smile was starting to be a little weird. She thought about it and stopped John who was about to push the door in. , and then made a wink to tell him and the staff to wait outside, and then stepped back and got in.

Sure enough, none of the children noticed who came in. Angela lowered her head and glanced around the room. She has the most children, 3 boys and 4 girls, all listening to her talk.

Angela walked over calmly, found a chair near the sofa where she was sitting, sat down, sat sideways, and looked at them from the corner of her eye.

"When I went outside again, Angela was playing and singing, I bet this is definitely a song from her new album, so light, so infectious, I can still hear it now Well." Britney said enthusiastically, with an intoxicated look on her face.

"Then why didn't you rush in, Britney? Aren't you always very bold?" A blond girl who was about her age next to her asked her with her face raised and raised eyebrows.

"Why should I rush in, wouldn't it be better to wait outside, you don't even understand this, Christina?" Britney squinted her eyes and looked back at her and said, the atmosphere between the two girls was somewhat delicate.

"Okay, Christina, let's hear what Britney has to say, we want to hear more," interjected a boy at this moment, with a "short wire" hair, pale blue eyes, and a terrific look. That's right, he said, winking at the other boy: "You say so, Joshua?"

The boy nodded helplessly: "Justin is right, let's just listen to Britney."

The girl named Christina shrugged her shoulders and didn't continue talking. Britney smiled lightly and continued talking in a leisurely manner, while Angela on the other side was not in the mood to listen to her anymore. The previous names entered Behind the ears, she carefully looked at their faces, and searched among the fragments deep in her memory, and she was slightly surprised by the conclusion she came to.

If my memory is correct, that blonde girl should be Christina Aguilera, Britney's "former" friend, "future" opponent, and also a little diva-level figure. There are gossip that the two are still rivals in love!

And the boy in "Wirehead" should be Justin Timberlake, a member of Super Boys, who is as glamorous even after flying solo, and is Britney's "future" lover. Unfortunately, the two broke up after two years of dating. Britney caused a huge blow. Britney finally switched to Kevin Federline's arms, but was cheated and fell into a depression. Love rival.

And the boy named Joshua should also be the member named JC Chase in the Super Boys. He is responsible for most of the behind-the-scenes and planning work of the Super Boys, and he can be regarded as a superstar.

Angela was very depressed about this, and at the same time a little scared. She really couldn't remember whether these people performed together, participated in the Mickey Mouse Club, could it be... the guy who founded MMC was also reborn or time-traveled?Otherwise, how could so many stars of tomorrow be recruited?

At this moment, a scream rang in her ears, and before Angela could react, a certain figure had rushed over, hugged her firmly, and followed her with a kiss on her cheek, the girl was startled , and then came back to his senses, it was Britney's excited face that caught his eyes.

"Angela, when did you come in?!" She exclaimed excitedly, these words woke up the few children who were in a daze because of her inexplicable actions, and immediately rushed to Angela, while the other children in the room After hearing this, she also screamed and surrounded her. Angela could only raise her hands and shouted: "Okay, please calm down for a while, please? Don't worry, I'm here and I won't go anywhere."

Fortunately, John, who had been observing outside, hurried in with a few staff members to maintain order: "Children, be quiet, don't get excited!"

Fortunately, these children are often on TV, and they all listen to the instructions. The room quickly returned to calm, but they all looked at Angela with excitement and fanaticism. This is very understandable, let alone the girl herself It is very good, and the most important thing is that Angela is about the same age as them, but can achieve such great results, which is equivalent to giving these children who have star dreams an excellent example, and it is normal to be sought after by them.

"Well, well, it's nice to meet you, I'm flattered by your enthusiasm." The girl said with a smile, looked at Britney who was holding her arm, and then said: "How about it, Let's sit in a circle."

As soon as the words fell, the children immediately searched for chairs and dragged them around. Christina moved the fastest, pulled out the chair and sat down on the other side of Angela, then brushed her hair, and held her hand with a smile: " Hi Angela, I'm Christina Aguilera, nice to meet you, I absolutely love your music and your movies."

"Thank you, Christina, do you know that I also have the word Christina in my name?" Angela said with a smile, it seemed that she guessed right, it was indeed her, but there seemed to be something flickering in her eyes move.

"Really? I'm so lucky!" Christina said in surprise, her eyes seemed to glance at the girl inadvertently.

As the arm that was being held tightened suddenly, Angela quickly understood what was going on, and couldn't help but want to smile bitterly. These two little girls started to fight tit for tat when they were only so young. It doesn't mean that they were good friends. friend?

At this time, the other children also formed a circle and sat down, and then began to ask questions:

"Angela, you are so beautiful, how did you write those lyrics?"

"Angela, when did you start practicing piano?"

"Angela, is there anything you don't know?"

Especially the "wirehead" Justin stood up and bowed slightly in front of her: "Dear Miss Angela, you are as bright as the full moon in the dark night, please allow me to pay tribute to you."

The girl was so grossed out, she was very embarrassed, she just planned to come over to say hello, and leave after saying a few words, but now it looks like a press conference, and this guy Justin... How old is she?Looking at John on the side, he smiled and said nothing, which made her angry and helpless.

"Okay, everyone, I want to say that I am very happy to have you supporting me, and I believe that you can break out your own sky in the Mickey Mouse Club," Angela broke away from Britney's hand and said seriously, "So here I'm singing the title track from my upcoming album, hoping to help you out."

As she spoke, she gave John a wink, and the other party quickly took a guitar. After the girl tried a few notes, she smiled at the children present: "The name of this song is "Light", I believe we Everyone can have their own light!"

Taking a deep breath, Angela plucked the strings, and the breezy singing voice began to echo in the room, sometimes whispering, sometimes passionate, just like a flowing river, there are not only the moments of rushing down, but also the thrills of rapid turns in the rapids and dangerous shoals , when the singing was over, the children stared blankly at the girl, as if they hadn't recalled it, and couldn't help screaming after a few seconds. If they didn't try their best to restrain themselves, they might jump at them.

Angela wanted to smile wryly. She thought it would end like this, but it seemed like she was pouring oil on the fire, so she hurriedly stood up: "Okay, I still have new songs to record, and you probably have work to do as well." , so I have to leave, but I think since we are all in the same company, there will always be a time to meet, I hope you can have better results."

As she said that, she was about to leave, but Britney screamed at this moment, and took out the notebook and pen she had prepared from her small bag and handed it to her: "Angela, can I have your autograph!"

"Okay, okay." The girl took it with a smile to hide her helplessness, and she knew that other children would do the same right away.

Sure enough, more notebooks were handed in front of her. Angela had to sign from the nearest Christina after signing Britney. On her face, and before she could recover, Christina, not to be outdone, hugged Angela and kissed her. These two kisses made Angela feel a little dizzy. As a result, everyone in the Mickey Club Girls will hug Angela and kiss her after signing for them, making her smile wryly in her belly. Of course, boys are exempted, even if they are very dissatisfied.

After signing autographs for the members of MMC, Angela could finally go back to the studio to continue. On the way, she couldn't help complaining to John: "They are so enthusiastic, so enthusiastic that I almost fainted!"

"Well, you are their possible future dream, of course they will." John said with a laugh.

"It means that I have become an image of Hollywood Records, right?" The girl couldn't help complaining, "In this way, Disney will become the place that young men and women with potential want to go to most, so do you want to go? Pay me?"

The music director turned into a wry smile casually, shook his head and said nothing.

"Okay, I'm kidding." Angela shrugged, she suddenly thought of Britney and Christina, friends and rival girls, and the two members of Superboy, it seems that they should indeed be in MMC They know each other, that is to say, there are no other reborn or time-traveling guys. John once said that maybe this year or next year, MMC will face the danger of disbanding, so after that, they will probably go their separate ways.

Suddenly an evil thought popped up in her head, Angela bit her lip with a smirk, raised her head and asked John beside her: "Mr. John, is MMC going downhill now?"

John shrugged: "Yes, I have said that it looks pretty good now, but there is no innovation, and the personnel are not fixed, and it will be disbanded sooner or later."

"Have you considered keeping the children with potential and continuing to train, and when they are older in a few years, they will be formed into groups or independent singers?" Angela smiled like a wolf grandmother.

The music director didn't notice her expression, but thought about it seriously, then nodded: "This idea is good, and with your image here, it's easy to convince the parents."

He paused, then stopped and looked at the girl: "Why, did you find anything?"

"Of course," the girl said with a smile, "I don't know about the boys, but among the girls, you can investigate Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera."

John touched his chin: "Okay, I think I can think about it."

Angela laughed uncontrollably in her stomach, she can recall the positioning of Britney and Christina, and she is very clear, as long as Disney listens to her opinion, it is very likely to repeat them in a few years." Don't underestimate her as a butterfly.

Best of all, make them into a group so they don't become rivals, and as the relationship gets closer, they end up falling in love with each other!In this way, Britney will not be depressed because of some people, and Christina will naturally not be compared. This is really a beautiful thing, isn't it? !As for Justin... Who cares if he dies!What's so good about a man, the love between women is the best, isn't it?So, you see, I'm actually a nice guy!

At this moment, the triumphant Angela didn't know whether her soul was male or female!
