Chapter 62 Mini Album (Favorites! Read more!)
After not coming for a long time, Suri almost went the wrong way.

After parking the Ferrari Enzo on the side of the road, he took Lily Collins into an old office building. Next to the elevator button on the sixth floor, the words "Bluegrass Music Company" were written.

Bluegrass music belongs to a branch of American country music, and its fan base is relatively small.

A few years ago, when Su Rui invested in the company, the name of the company was called this, and he didn't bother to change it, and it has been kept until now.

After going upstairs.

As soon as the elevator door opened, Miss Lily was startled.

I saw a short, thin white middle-aged man, wearing a plaid shirt and a pair of brown trousers, with a very unbeatable smile on his face.

Su Rui rolled his eyes directly, stretched out his arms and half-armed Lily and walked out, saying in his mouth:
"Ed, you are crazy. You sent me messages as crazy as urging you to die. I had the urge to block you several times. Lily Collins, this is Mr. Ed Oliver, my record company manager."

Ed Oliver was in a particularly good mood at the moment. After listening to Su Rui's introduction, he shook hands with Miss Lily and said hello:
"Not only the manager, but also a partner. Su Rui never asks about the company's affairs. I am responsible for everything. If I don't urge me, this record company will go bankrupt."

On the way here, Lily had already heard about the general situation.

This Mr. Ed Oliver has been divorced three times before and after, and he and his ex-wife still have underage children who need to be raised. Not only was he given away a large amount of money during the divorce, but the monthly maintenance fee is also very impressive. Headache.

It is estimated that he was forced by money.

In middle age, this guy became more and more miserable.

In fact, after Su Rui became a shareholder a few years ago, the record company made a lot of money.

The reason why it became like this is that Ed Oliver was too in love with his brain, and lost all the dividends of two or three million US dollars. Su Rui didn't feel sorry for him at all.

After all, it was his own choice, and he fell into the same pit three times in a row. He always likes to find sexy gold diggers to marry, so who can blame him.

Ignoring the misery of the manager in front of him, Su Rui told:
"Today's young people, either listen to music on the computer or listen to music on their mobile phones. The golden age of releasing albums and selling records is long gone. Just like I mentioned to Ed on the phone before As I said, the focus will be on online promotion, and it will be difficult for the company to make money like it did a few years ago, and the peripheral copyrights will still belong to me.”

Brothers clearly settle accounts, let alone just partners.

Su Rui holds income from mobile phone ring tones, Internet songs, etc., and has nothing to do with this small record company. He can only act as an agent for him and earn some commission from it. The other thing is to produce and release albums. income.

As a major shareholder, Su Rui will also take away most of the album's profits, and the rest will belong to other shareholders.

Ed Oliver was poor and crazy, and he didn't expect to get much. He thought that he could earn hundreds of thousands of dollars just for the album share, and his face was full of joy.

Quickly replied:
"No problem, Secretary Amanda has sent me a new contract. I found some of the most powerful arrangers and producers, and perfected the arrangement according to the recording you gave. Basically, it is almost done. I just wait for you to audition, sure. Which version to use."

Sure enough, when it was profitable, he was the most active in doing things. It has only been less than ten days, and the song is almost finished.

Su Rui nodded and followed him to the recording studio.

Miss Lily followed closely behind.

Ignoring her for the time being, when a group of people started discussing, Lily saw new songs such as "Dance Monkey", "the Phoenix", "that Girl" and "Me and My broken Heart" on the staff's computer screen , plus the already circulated "Despacito", it seems that they just make up a mini-album.

I had the urge to click and listen, but out of polite considerations, I didn't do it in the end.

I saw Su Rui not far away, wearing headphones, shaking her head, humming as if she was trying to sing, through some fragmentary fragments, she became more and more curious about these songs.

Ed Oliver, the manager of the record company, spent a lot of money this time in order to make a fortune.

They spent more than [-] US dollars to invite a group of talented arrangers to work overtime to polish and arrange music for Su Rui.

In fact, the money was taken from the company, and most of it was Su Rui's own pocket.

Listen to it for a while, it feels pretty good.

Su Rui took off the earphones and asked calmly:
"The recording studio can be used now. I still have to try to sing before I can find out where I need to modify. Let's try this song "Dance Monkey" first."

"This first calculation is more difficult. We tried for a long time to find the feeling and speed up the rhythm."

The speaker was a Latino arranger, now in his 30s, and he had formed a band before, but it was a pity that he did not become popular after a few years.

"The hardest part is "the Phoenix". I'm afraid I'll run out of oxygen after singing, so I'll try it later."

After speaking, Su Rui walked into the recording studio, put on his headphones and stood in front of the microphone.

The staff in charge of the arrangement put down their work at the moment and gathered here one after another. Of course, Miss Lily didn't want to miss the opportunity and stood aside with great interest.

The sound proof glass is thick.

On the workbench, turn on the external sound, and someone made an OK gesture to Su Rui before playing the music.

At first I stumbled, but I found some feeling later.

Then I sang it again, this time it was much smoother, like a brisk dance song, and it has the potential to become popular in the whole album.

Then try "the Phoenix", which is said to have taken the most effort to compile.

Hearing the fast rhythm of the blood, Lily opened her eyes wide in an instant, feeling her heart beating with the rhythm.

Others present also enjoyed listening to it.

A young guy also joked that he almost thought he saw Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of Queen, and he should go directly to the concert to sing this song live, and the effect would be very explosive.

Shortly after.

Go ahead and audition for "that girl".

After listening to just a few sentences, Lily knew that Marshall Branham was finished. Not to mention the extremely popular "Despacito", it was hard to say whether it could beat these songs.

The aura that had gradually faded in the past few days, in her eyes, shrouded Su Rui again at this moment. Stars were about to appear in her crooked eyes.

have to say.

The quality of these arrangements is very high. At least Su Rui tried to sing and found nothing too obvious.

The manager Ed Oliver was more excited than everyone else. Thinking of the three checks sent monthly and the villa occupied by his ex-wife, he already had the urge to cry.

He still remembered the last time when Su Rui was so handsome, and later sold tens of millions of albums.

Originally, when he heard that he was sick and moved to Lanai Island, Hawaii, he thought it was cold and he would never hear Su Rui's new song again. Unexpectedly, the money tree came back by itself, which saved his life.

After each song is sung.

Focus on the discussion for a moment and find the flaws in it.

After singing "Me and My Broken Heart", Suri sang the title song "Despacito" which has been simply modified. Even he felt that this time it was stable and enjoyed it very much.

If you hurry up, maybe there is no need to wait until next month, the song can be recorded in these two days.
