reborn in america

In Nashville, the music sanctuary that Eddie Hall's father had been looking forward to all his life, a young girl who came here from a small town to pursue her dream apologized while accompanying her with a smiling face.

Although she always has great confidence in herself and believes that one day she will become a big star, what Nashville lacks most is singers and so-called self-confidence. Failed to find a tavern willing to hire her to sing for a living.

She can only work as a waitress while taking time to perform on various street corners, especially near those big companies, praying for a chance to be discovered, and then give her a contract to make an album.

She was waiting for such an opportunity, which might not come until a long, long time later, but from the first day she came to Nashville, he had the idea that he would not leave without success.

It’s just country songs. Although there are many outstanding female singers, male singers dominate the mainstream. In addition, country songs are easier than rock and pop, and a guitar is enough, but it costs money to make demos, and the cost in Nashville is not high. Low, she can only work as a waiter, and she survives every month with perseverance.

Fortunately, she is still young and does not get sick easily, otherwise, without medical insurance, she would not even be able to pay for hospitalization.

Of course, she is not alone. In Nashville, the mecca of country music, there are countless singers who have not become famous. Most of them are like this. album.

It wasn't until the end of the mountain and the end of life that it was possible to accept fate and leave this dream land, return to the small town where he came back, and spend the rest of his time in a small bar.

The road of music has never been a broad road. Without extremely high talent and luck, it is a stepping stone for the lucky ones. Every famous singer's feet are covered with layers of losers' bones.

Clicia Sandra enjoys the joy of chasing her dreams, but also bears the harm caused by the thorns on the road, but people only see the winners on this road, and those bloody losers never enter the public's sight .

She is actually a very good restaurant waiter. She has worked in this restaurant named Lvli for more than five months. Except for a small mistake at the beginning, she has been conscientious and has not made any mistakes since then. She just lost her composure and knocked over The guest's food, because she heard people in the restaurant discussing a program called "American Idol", which is offered to all dreamers aged 16 to 30. The winner will not only get a million prize money, but also She was also able to sign a contract with the famous David Geffen Music Company, and David Geffen Music Company promised to make an album tailored for her.

Compared with most ordinary people paying attention to the one million prize money, people in Nashville naturally pay more attention to the tailor-made album. After all, who comes to Nashville will not know the famous David Geffen, although he His company is not a traditional country music production company, but there are also big names in country music under its umbrella. With his endorsement, the attraction for dream chasers like them soared to MAX.

That's why she lost her composure for a while, but obviously, as a native of Nashville, the customer naturally knew why she lost her composure, so she didn't care but said with a smile: "Hey, lovely waiter girl, good luck."

"Ah? I haven't made a decision yet. I want to figure it out after the shift change." Kelicia was stunned for a moment, and then explained mentally.

"Haha, I must go. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If I hadn't passed my age, maybe I would try it too. After all, luck is something that no one can say for sure." The uncle didn't care, he laughed said.

"Well, I will seriously consider it, thank you." A force in Kelixia's heart was instantly aroused, but the remaining rationality made her stick to her work until the morning shift ended and she changed her clothes before leaving the restaurant in a hurry. I bought a copy of the "California Times" newspaper to study the so-called "American Idol" variety show.

To promote "American Idol" on the "California Times", Adam did not deliberately make something attractive for the sake of attention, but honestly, a module, a module that integrates all aspects of the program, from background, process, The tutors will be displayed in detail, and starting from the second issue, some readers who received letters will be selected to answer their questions, and then published in the newspaper. In fact, most of the questions are the same, and the repeated parts are eliminated. Most of the questions answered fit the reader's thoughts, which has to be said to be done extremely well.

Because it is the first session, due to reasons such as integration, number of applicants and venues, only six cities were finally selected, including Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Nashville, Chicago and Seattle, taking into account the number of people, music atmosphere and personal connections, etc. Although there are missing places, these six places are indeed the most suitable six audition places at present.

In order to make it easier to find, the audition locations set up in each city are located in the most eye-catching city centers. The flower alone is scary, not including the application for police protection. In addition, many people will definitely be invited There are a large number of staff members, and there is no need to mention other trivial matters. This is the main reason why Adam is not going to participate in this first reality show variety show.

Luckily for Kelicia, she didn't need to run around, she could directly participate in the competition in Nashville, but at the same time, he had to face the competition of at least tens of thousands of people in the whole city, among which there were countless outstanding ones. Among the audition regions, Nashville and Los Angeles are definitely hell-level in terms of difficulty. These two places have gathered too many talents.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that the competition in other areas is less. Seattle also has a large number of underground rock bands, and there are also a large number of Canadian talents who may expand the border to participate. After all, Adam has no restrictions on nationality. Young Canadian dreamers want to Naturally, there is no problem in participating.

Miami, Chicago and New York are not cheap. Miami is covered with a large number of Spanish music talents. As the third largest city in the United States, Chicago is also one of the economic centers of the United States. It is also the most popular place for American jazz. A genius with jazz, New York, needless to say.

It can be said that each of these six cities has a different music culture in each city. What's more, only these six audition districts cover all the people who want to participate in the competition. In the United States, an immigrant country, a country where entertainment is paramount, holding a music audition will definitely let people see countless musical talents, and the competition is absolutely fierce.

……

In April, when "American Idol" was quietly accumulating strength, the movie "The Witch" was raging across the entire movie market, making the box office in April, which had always been deserted, show signs of booming. The low-cost pseudo-documentary, relying on extremely shameful marketing methods, attracted a large number of audiences to the cinema, and then grabbed a lot of box office through the excellent film quality and almost real pseudo-documentary style.

"The Witch" set a series of records, making publisher New Line usher in a good start to the new year, followed by inviting the creator of Freddie to shoot a new Freddie series, and another resounding across the United States. The horror film series will be released in the following time. Although New Line did not make any major moves in 1994, it still became a force that cannot be ignored in the film market relying on horror films.

However, when a newcomer suddenly breaks into a stable market, there will always be a collective counterattack from the old people. If you overcome it, it will be a broad road, and if you can't resist it, you will be another loser.

So naturally, at the end of April, they were attacked by many parties. The battle between the two sides continued from the newspapers and magazines to the Internet. It can be said that the battle was vigorous. Due to its inherent shortcomings, the new line was already at a loss, so it was completely suppressed.

But in any case, no matter how noisy the other parties were, it failed to stop the new line from making a lot of money. Not only did it rake in a box office of 90 million US dollars, but it also sold thousands of dollars through this evil wind. Wan's Fuwai copyright, and other DVDs are all ready to enter the market at any time, making a lot of money. In the United States in the [-]s, this is not a small amount of money.

And Adam also welcomed Shay, an old friend, at this time. Because of the continuous success, Shay can be said to be the most complacent one in Hollywood. When he saw Adam, he gave him a big hug directly. , People who don't know think that the two have sworn brothers and become brothers.

"Haha, it doesn't matter how much Weinstein scolds, his movie can't even reach a fraction of our movie." After the two sat down, Shay couldn't help but said with a smile.

"It's also because of you. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to do it, but will it affect the reputation of your later film release?" Adam said with some concern. After all, he also benefited a lot from this film, although compared to the publisher's There will be fewer new lines, but there are still tens of millions more, so I feel a little sorry for the new lines that have been blamed.

"It's okay. The audience is forgetful. As long as the quality of the movie is good, he won't care too much about whether the distribution company has any black spots." Shay waved his hand, obviously not very concerned.

"By the way, how about the TV station? Your interests are wider than mine, but this line of work is not easy to mix. I heard that you have also cooperated with David Geffen?" Shay finished speaking, and took a sip of the wine sent by the secretary. coffee, and asked.

Adam can also be regarded as the noble man of Shay. The two have cooperated many times. Although they don't have much communication in life, they can barely be called friends. Recently, Adam's new actions have attracted the attention of a large number of Hollywood people.

"It's okay. The cooperation with David this time is to promote the new TV station. Whether it is successful depends on how much traffic this program can bring." Although Adam is full of confidence in the program, it has not been broadcast after all, and he does not want to give With a feeling of overconfidence, he said in a somewhat conservative and modest manner.

"Okay, then congratulations on the success of your new TV station." Xie Yi didn't ask any more questions, but just smiled and said: "If you need help, you can just say it. After all, with our relationship, your business is mine. thing."

"Thank you. Speaking of helping, I really have a favor to ask you to help." Adam accepted Xie Yi's kindness, and then made his own request. In fact, it is not necessary to ask Xie Yi to help, but it is natural if he has his words It is more convenient.

The author has something to say: I am going to see pirates today, I almost forgot, hoo, luckily I didn’t go far.

In addition, it’s not that I’m lazy, it’s that I go to work now, and when I come back every day, it’s six o’clock or almost seven o’clock. After cooking, eating, and bathing, it’s nine o’clock, and then around 10:30 to [-] o’clock. I have to sleep, or I won’t be able to get up the next day, and I don’t have much time to spare.

I am not as close to the company as I used to be, so I feel a little helpless, and even the quality of my writing has declined because of this situation, but give me a little more time to adjust, the novel will continue, I hope everyone supports it, thank you.
