Chapter 447 Record Invitation
“It’s just ahead, around the corner.”
Anson gestured, and rushed out on his skateboard, leading the way. The sun, breeze, and palm trees were like breaking waves. The sides stretched out, and the whole world quickly revolved around that figure.
Dustin nodded gently, "This is the image that emerges from the melody."
Free, uninhibited, wild, and unrestrained.
Whether it's "Wake Me Up" or "Hero", the notes carefully hide the scars and bitterness, but the musical temperament is free and generous, quietly overlapping with the back figure in front of you.
Just now, Anson called to Dustin and Mike, but did not invite them into the home, but asked them to wait at the door for a moment.
In less than five minutes, Anson simply washed and tidied up, changed a set of clothes, used a hat to suppress his wild hair, reappeared on his skateboard, and took them to the street corner. coffee house.
Everything, simple and efficient, with an unfettered freedom.
On the contrary, Mike couldn't keep up with the rhythm. It was obviously them who came to the door preemptively, but now the initiative has quietly fallen into Anson's hands——
As expected of Anson, he was able to catch Jay Leno off guard.
Actually, to be honest, compared with the recent overwhelming popularity that has turned red to purple, Anson’s real person is inevitably a little disappointing:
Two eyes. A nose. A mouth.
Anson looks no different from other young people, at most he is more handsome.
But when you calm down and think about it carefully, the idea of expecting Anson to be different with his three heads and six arms is truly absurd. Anson is not an alien.
Slowly, bit by bit, I felt Anson's aura carefully. Before I came back to my senses, I had already realized how special Anson was.
A kind of temperament——
A light gray long-sleeved hat and T-shirt are paired with light blue denim shorts. Finally, he wears a red San Francisco 49ers baseball cap and goes out on a skateboard.
This match.
Long sleeves with shorts? A T-shirt with a baseball cap?
Obviously everything is not harmonious, but when worn on Anson, it naturally attracts attention. It is only a short two blocks to the coffee shop. Along the way, you can see eyes gathering silently, and passers-by are not paying attention. exception.
Thus, Dustin’s sigh came into being.
Mike was puzzled, "So, what image is presented in the music?"
Dustin lightly shrugged, "Anson is like this."
Mike: Roll your eyes.
Dustin doesn't mind, "Everyone has their own feelings and opinions. There is no right answer, and it may not even be expressed in words, but the creations of truly special musicians are often colorful."
< br>"In my opinion, those music have the color of Anson. If it were performed by a different singer or a band, it might be different."
Mike seems to understand but not understand——< br>
After all, their majors are different.
Dustin is a producer, he focuses on musicality; Mike is a marketing person, focusing on the marketability of singers, so they naturally have different perspectives when approaching issues.
Just like now.
Mike couldn't explain everything he saw, it was different, it was something different, which convinced him that he could see the marketability of the band.
To put it simply, Mike believes that the band's music can sell money. As for whether it is Anson or the music that can sell money, he doesn't care. Dustin looked at Mike, "I think we should open the skylight and speak frankly."
Mike, "What do you mean?"
Dustin, "I'm just saying, there's no need to lie or do Tai Chi. I believe Anson can see that. It's better to tell the truth to show sincerity."
Mike, "I, I didn't either Prepare to lie."
Dustin ignored him and walked past Mike, pushing open the door of the coffee shop. Mike looked helpless, sighed softly, and followed him.
The coffee shop is nothing special. It is clean and simple, and the decoration is modern and not particularly gorgeous. It looks like a non-chain coffee shop that can be found everywhere in Los Angeles, but Anson looks particularly comfortable and relaxed. You know, he should be a regular.
Order and sit down.
Mike looked at Dustin, then at Anson, and then realized that no one was ready to speak. Finally, it was him who broke the silence and started the conversation.
"Warner Records hopes to sign a contract with the band and record for the band. The band I am talking about includes you, Lily, Connor and Miles. We hope that you can form a band to perform on stage. ”
Simple and clear.
Anson nodded slightly and raised the corners of his mouth, "This is good news." But the smile did not fall to his eyes, he remained calm and looked at Mike quietly, "So, what are the specific conditions? We need to pay What price and what reward?”
Mike: This...
Are all artists today so naked? Discuss the terms of the contract right from the start?
Mike couldn't help but glance at Dustin, who looked like he was watching the show.
Mike looked away and quickly calmed down. Although this was not his strong point, he was not unfamiliar with it, and it was a necessary part of dealing with artists.
“We can sit down and discuss the specific situation slowly.”
“I believe there should be more than one or two companies contacting the band during this period, but Warner Records is sincere and we are willing to give It gives the band the greatest creative freedom and also gives the band the highest contractual treatment.”
"The reason why Dustin came to visit you in person with me today is, on the one hand, to show sincerity. We hope to sit down and talk with you face to face, instead of exchanging cold opinions on the phone or email."
"Another On the one hand, we respect the soul of the band, and we hope to retain this feature. As a record producer, Dustin will create an album with you around the color of the band."
Mike. Turning to look at Dustin.
Although Dustin had been watching the show, when he heard his name, he also put away his smile, showed a professional attitude, and nodded in agreement.
Dustin added, “Look, there’s no music like this in the market right now.”
"The cello appears in a rock band? The bass resonates with the cello? There is no regular drummer in the band? The music is not focused on the lead singer but around the instrument?"
"And so on, everything is brand new, even It is a new challenge. We must seize this characteristic and launch a new exploration of rock and roll, and even redefine the band and the band.”
“I like your creative attitude, which is unfettered. Freedom, I also hope to condense this wildness and unrestrainedness in the record.”
Although Dustin seemed carefree just now, when he entered the professional field, he showed his talent, both in his eyes and in his tone. no the same.
Mike nodded in agreement.
After a pause, Dustin added, "It was like the meeting just now, 'I believe in Buddhism.' God, this is really genius. I mean, Amitabha, this is so genius."
< br>Mike: His head is full of black lines. This is a pot that should not be opened and raised!
"Ahem", Mike cleared his throat to finish the interruption, "What Dustin means is that we like your characteristics and hope to preserve them in the music. Warner Records always does this, putting artists Put the characteristics first”
