[US Entertainment] Hollywood Fame

Christine and Bryan quickly signed the contract, accompanied by lawyers from both sides, and after some back-and-forth bargaining, she eventually signed five albums with SCAR.

The two sides shook hands to show the happy cooperation in the future.

David from CAA soon learned of the news. He raised his head and looked at the assistant who told him the news. The forehead lines on his forehead were crowded together, and there was some anger on his face that couldn't be concealed.

As a well-known manager of CAA, he hasn't felt that this kind of thing is out of his control for many years.

In fact, since the last time Christine talked about Sony records in the restaurant, when she said that she would consider it, he had a vague premonition, but out of a very confident attitude towards the cards in his hand, he did not pay attention to it. , but allowed it to develop.

He regretted not signing Christine, but it wasn't a pity.

It's just that he really doesn't like things going out of his expectation, which shows that he doesn't have enough bargaining chips, or he hasn't grasped the point.

David was a little conceited about his abilities, so this also caused this kind of anger. He didn't suppress it for a while, but slapped the table hard, and shouted at the assistant: "Get out!"

And here, Kristen is starting to prepare for her first album.

Brian made an appointment with her in the production studio today, and said that there is a surprise waiting for her.

When Christine opened the door of the studio curiously, besides Brian, she saw the back of a middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man seemed a bit unkempt, with unruly long hair like Brian's, and his figure was between fat and not fat.After hearing the door open, he turned around, revealing the lower half of his bearded face.

Also with long hair, Brian is the rascal of a vagabond, and this middle-aged man, um...

A bit greasy.

Although Christine had some face control, she didn't show any trace of this "surprise", but greeted with a smile.

"I'm not too late, Brian," she said. "This is..."

Brian smiled when he saw Christine, walked behind the middle-aged man, stretched out his hands to both sides: "SURPRISE!"

Christine had a dark face.

What is this, is the childlike innocence of a 30-year-old man still alive?

"Haha, just kidding." Brian sat back and introduced to Christine: "He is Max Martin (hereinafter referred to as Max Martin)."

Max Martin?

It seems a bit familiar.

Christine paused, her pupils widened suddenly, wait, is that the Max Martin she was thinking of?

Max Martin, a seemingly ordinary name, but if you haven't heard his song, you have to wonder if you are an alien.

He is Swedish and one of the most famous music producers and composers in the world.He has been known as a hitsong maker since 95.How familiar are the songs he made?

In this way, for example, the song "Baby one more time" by Britney Spears that Kristen sang out of tune on "The Ellen Show" before was produced by him.

Not only that, he has cooperated with many European and American big names such as Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Avril Lavigne, Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, JESSI (in no particular order) and so on. one.

Among them, there are 19 songs at the top of the Billboard chart! (This data is still increasing...)

You must know that a song may be a hit, but it may not necessarily top the charts. Let’s not talk about how rare a top single is, otherwise it will take a long time to talk about it.

Even some big names can be said to be popular because of the songs he produced.

And just recently, in the "1989" album he produced for Swift, the two hit singles "Blank Space" and "Shakeitoff" were both produced by him, which once again reflects his reputation as one of the world's most famous music producers. ability.

Not to mention, the Grammys are about to begin, and "1989" is on the list!

Although he was once ignored by the Grammys before, with his ability, he definitely won more than one or two Grammys.

Christine was really surprised this time.

Excitedly, she sat on another chair and shook hands with Max. At this time, the middle-aged man also smiled back at her, with a shy face, as if he was not very talkative.

"Hi, I'm Kristen Heather."

"I know you, that "Grace" is pretty good." Max didn't talk much, but he wasn't difficult to get along with.

Christine's eyes lit up, and she could see that Max's words were not polite, so she quickly brewed a bunch of words in her stomach to communicate with him.

Brian on the side saw Christine's appearance, and quickly interjected: "Christin, this is the producer of your first album. How, as I said, our resources will never be better than Sony's. Poor."

Although she had faint thoughts when she knew that the middle-aged man was Max, Christine's heart beat violently a few times when these words came from Brian's mouth.

She couldn't hold back the corner of her mouth that was hanging to her ears.

How many DIVAs among European and American big names want to cooperate with Max have to queue up, and I don’t know how Brian hired him. You know, SCAR is still a "very young" label.

"Today, I'm here to confirm the overall style of this album, and then we're going to discuss things like collection and production."

"Your song "Grace" is definitely going to be included, and you can also take advantage of the popularity and make it into a first single and release it to see the effect. As for the overall album, it is mainly in the POP style. Specifically, what do you think Max?" Brian said.

""Grace" can be made into R&B, and it is agreed to be released as the first single." Max continued: "I think other songs still depend on the recording situation."

"Well, Christine, what do you think?" Brian said.

"It just so happened that I recorded a demo of "Grace", and I brought it here today, listen to it?"

The two nodded, and Christine clicked to play. It was the same as in the video, mainly due to the sound of the piano, but some electronic sounds were added to the demo, making the song more pop-style.

"It's not bad." Max nodded, "But there are still some places that need to be slightly revised."

Christine smiled and continued: "I still have some other demos that I recorded recently, and some lyrics have not yet been filled in."

After speaking, she clicked on the other unnamed demos.

She has not been idle in the past few days, because it is inconvenient for her to travel now, she has read a lot of comments on the Internet, but if she reads too much, it is just those words. For a person like her who doesn't care much about outside opinions, it makes It has no effect, so most of the time she is still at home making music day and night.

This led to the fact that in just ten days or so, she lived in the one-third-acre land at home and made more than twenty good demos.

An average of 1-2 songs a day, this speed can be said to be very fast.

Wouldn't she get stuck?

Of course it will.

It's just that during the period since her rebirth, she has accumulated too many things she wants to express in her mind, and too many inspirations she wants to burst out. The so-called thick accumulation is roughly the same.

After listening to these demos, Brian no longer doubted Christine's creative ability, and Max looked at her differently.

The music circle is a place that respects talent, and Christine has it, so she can get the respect and improvement of Max and the others.

Perhaps what Brian paid more attention to before signing her was not her creative ability, but some external aspects, such as appearance, topicality, etc. Creative ability may be the last measure he puts.

But now Christine wanted to let him see that the most valuable thing about her was not her external aspects, but her internal content!
