Chapter 293 The Reappearance of the Divine Voice
Since we are talking about renewal of the contract, we must take the initiative, otherwise, it will be difficult to continue the negotiation.
So, Su Cheng was not in a hurry to talk about this matter.
The two chatted for a long time, from music to movies, from movies to the entertainment industry.
With the information provided by Xiao Ai, Su Cheng naturally knows all these things.
Linda Ronstadt was chatting, her eyes already looking very shocked.
A person from Xiangjiang actually knows so much about the entertainment industry in the beautiful country.
Furthermore, he seems to have a very deep knowledge of music and movies.
No wonder you can write such an excellent song for Jodie Foster!
At this time, Linda Ronstadt was very convinced that Jodie Foster's song was indeed composed by the too-young boss in front of her.
More than an hour later, Linda Ronstadt finally couldn't help it anymore and asked first: "Su, I asked Miss Jodie Foster to ask you to sing. I wonder if you can help me compose something based on me." A song composed in the same style?”
Seeing Linda Ronstadt finally ask this question, Su Cheng finally smiled at the corners of his eyes.
He was just waiting for Linda Ronstadt to mention it.
In this way, it will be easier to negotiate about contract renewal.
There is one year left on the contract, and if she is unwilling to renew it, Su Cheng is really not willing to waste time on her.
Indeed, Linda Ronstadt was very good, so good that no one else can replace her.
But Su City has too many resources. It is not impossible to help Na'mi Entertainment create a top singer, even one on the same level as Linda Ronstadt.
It’s just that the price may be higher.
Linda Ronstadt is a monster genius in the music industry. If she can be praised as a top singer with ten songs, then others may need twenty. , thirty, or even forty.
This is the difference, so if Linda Ronstadt can be persuaded, Su Cheng will naturally be happy to continue to praise her.
"Of course, Linda, I can tell you this, in this era, if I am ranked second in music creation, no one would dare to be ranked first!" Su Cheng boasted with a smile.
"???" Linda Ronstadt was a little confused. Judging from the two songs sung by Jodie Foster, Sioux City is indeed very talented in music creation, but If you dare to claim to be the best in the world, then that's a bit exaggerated, right?
“Don’t believe it, then just watch carefully and I will perform a live creation for you.” Su Cheng said with a smile.
After saying that, Su Cheng took a blank piece of paper and a pen from the desk, and started writing directly under the eyes of Linda Ronstadt.
A song written by Su Cheng is the title song of an album released by Linda Ronstadt in 1983 in another parallel world, called "What's New?".
And this album is directly named after the title song.
After the release of this album, it caused a great sensation in the European and American music circles.
And, most importantly, this song fits Linda Ronstadt herself very well.
After all, this song, in another world, was originally created specifically for her.
Su Cheng wrote very quickly, and soon a song appeared on the blank paper, with complete lyrics and music.
"Linda, try singing it again. This is a song I created for you. I think only you are the most suitable for this song." Su Cheng said with a smile.
Linda Ronstadt took over the song with a mixture of curiosity and suspicion.
She read the lyrics carefully twice first, and then started to read the music after the lyrics became more understandable.
At the same time, she began to try singing silently in her heart.
When she finished singing this song silently, her eyes became brighter and brighter. As a top singer in the music industry, she is naturally very discerning.
So, all of a sudden, Linda Ronstadt saw the excellence of this song.
"This song fits me so well!" Linda Ronstadt thought in shock.
After singing silently several times, Linda Ronstadt finally began to sing a cappella.
Sure enough, she is worthy of being called the most successful and best-selling female singer.
Even though it was her first time singing it, Su Cheng could still tell that she sang this song very well.
"Su, this song is really great. I want the company's soundtrack team to help me accompany it live." After singing a cappella, Linda Ronstadt said impatiently.
"Why don't you let me accompany you? My piano skills are pretty good." Su Cheng said with a smile.
To enhance Linda Ronstadt's impression of him, it would be best if Sioux City played the part.
Su Cheng himself cannot play the piano, but Xiao Ai can.
After all, when Su Cheng was in England, he played a piano piece that conquered everyone present.
"Sue, can you play the piano?" Jodie Foster did not tell Linda Ronstadt about this matter, so Linda Ronstadt did not know, Su City He can actually play the piano.
"Of course, let's go to the accompaniment room." Su Cheng said with a smile.
As a large entertainment company, the headquarters of Namei Entertainment naturally has an accompaniment room for singers and even record production.
There is no shortage of musical instruments like the piano, which is even a very top-notch instrument.
After arriving at an accompaniment room on the fifth floor, Su Cheng called everyone else out and closed the door. Except for a recording engineer, only Su Cheng and Linda Ronstadt were left inside.
"I'll play and you'll sing. Are you ready? When we are, we'll start!" Su Cheng said with a smile on his face.
After calming down, Linda Ronstadt picked up the microphone, nodded to Su Cheng, and said: "Ready!"
On the side, a recording equipment was already Ready to record.
At this time, Su Cheng gave an order to Xiao Ai, and soon, Xiao Ai transmitted Beethoven's consciousness of piano skills into Su Cheng's mind again.
For just a moment, Su Cheng felt as if he was an expert who had studied piano for many years, and the piano in front of him seemed to have become a part of his body.
The sound of the piano sounded, Su Cheng also closed his eyes, and his whole body was immersed in the world of music.
The divine voice reappears!
This song is a traditional jazz ballad. Although there is no jazz drum accompaniment, it has a unique flavor with the piano accompaniment.
A very ethereal and natural aesthetic feeling spread throughout the accompaniment room. At that moment, Linda Ronstadt even lost her mind.
Fortunately, Linda Ronstadt was a world-class singer after all, and she quickly came to her senses and started singing cooperatively.
At this moment, after the sound engineer turned on the recording button, he was completely immersed in the world of music.
It wasn’t until the playing was over and Linda Ronstadt’s singing stopped that the sound engineer hurriedly pressed the stop button without realizing it.
Then, the sound engineer couldn't help but applaud them.
Although only one person is applauding, this applause represents the perfection of this song.
