Chapter 494 Singing in a low voice
Shocked, stunned, unexpected.
Lily, Connor and Miles have different expressions, but they are roughly the same.
Myers was the first to react, "However, they liked our band just because of our characteristics, but they ended up changing our style when recording the record. Why did the record company do this? ”
Anson shook his head, “Essentially, record companies don’t care about music at all. What they care about is using music to generate revenue and open up the market. Music is just a tool.”
"So, if necessary, they can change the music style according to their own judgment, and the album producer plays an important role in this link."
"Of course, I'm just saying that this is a possibility, something It may not happen, or it may happen in a gentler and more unexpected way."
"One hypothesis is that the album producer thinks that the cello is indeed a good idea, what about adding some classical instruments? Violin? A classical piano? Then our band evolved into six people."
"It's not that violins and classical pianos are bad, maybe we ourselves think we should add some instruments; it's just that things are quiet. As the world goes off track, there are less and less things we can control, and before we even realize it, we have become Barbie dolls.”
Myers opened his mouth slightly and his chest rose high. , thousands of words are on the tip of my tongue, "How could they..."
Anson smiled and said, "Again, this may not happen. I'm just saying that by conceiving the theme and style of the album in advance, we can avoid such a thing to the greatest extent. There is no need to panic before it happens."
“However, this is the problem you must face when signing a contract with a major record company. Your own style and market positioning may overlap or misalign. Each album requires cooperation. Ichiban, including legends like The Beatles and Queen, not to mention us.”
Myers finally understands now -
Whether it is using the cello as the main instrument. , or integrate the charm of musical instruments into the performance. The band's widespread discussion is precisely the shocking innovation part. This may become the band's magic weapon to attract record companies, but it may also become an excuse for record companies to abandon the band.
After all, what they are trying now is a road that has not been explored yet, and every step forward is full of countless possibilities.
Then, Miles looked at Anson again, "That's why you want to sign for one album, not two or three."
What they saw was the signing number, and what Anson saw was Band features.
Anson advocated signing an album, not because he refused to be tied up as an actor and might leave at any time, but precisely because he truly liked the band and thought from the band's standpoint.
Suddenly, Miles' chest felt hot and he turned to look at Lily and Connor.
However, neither of them responded.
The amount of information is really too large, and the brain is a mess. Everyone's focus is slightly different, so that the extended thoughts are also in different directions. They need some time and space to digest it.
"Lily?"
"Connor?"
Myers was a little anxious and called out.
But Anson was not surprised and spoke first.
"Tea? Coffee? Or alcohol?"
Standing up as a host, the drink is just an excuse. The real intention is to give them space to think. He is not going to stay here to put pressure on them.
Lily was stunned, "Water. Water is fine. Uh, thank you."
Miles showed a smile, "I don't need it. Connor?"
"Connor!" Called for the second time in a row, Connor suddenly raised his head and looked left and right in a panic, with a confused look of "who am I, where am I and what am I doing?", and then he pressed hard with Rubbing his cheeks with both hands, a strange gurgling sound came from deep in his throat.
Anson couldn't help but chuckle, "Okay, I know, I will bring you some surprises."
After a little joke, Anson got up and left the hall.
However, after passing the kitchen, he did not go in. Instead, he came to another room at the end of the hall, a small utility room. Through the window, he could see the small garden on the side.
Slightly unexpectedly, Anson saw an old piano here.
Only then did I recall that the piano belonged to this old Spanish-style house. It was originally placed in the living room, but later moved to the utility room to make room for parties.
Looking at it this way, the utility room is not too small.
I don’t know how long this piano has been here silently, and it may even need to be re-tuned. Anson’s palms couldn’t help but lightly brush over the surface of the piano, carefully feeling the texture of the original wood. The resonance is like the gentle whining of the wind, telling stories hidden in time in your ears.
"Spider-Man" succeeded -
Same as in his previous life. To be precise, even more successful than the previous life, the world of the parallel universe is being completely changed because of a butterfly.
But what's the cost?
A Hayden. A brad.
It’s not accurate to say this. Hayden’s incident is still a mystery until now, and it is impossible to be 100% sure of the reason behind it; however, judging from the time points before and after, there is a high probability that it should be the same as "Spider-Man" ”, “Star Wars Episode 2”, but I don’t know what happened.
From his past life to this life, Anson has always been aware of the complexity of vanity fair, just like what the book describes, "How to betray your relatives and leave them". The price of fame and fortune is often to use any means, and everything becomes a tool until everyone betrays your relatives and leaves. , I have heard similar stories more than once or twice.
But the problem is that when I actually experience it personally, I still feel bitter——
He understands the principles; emotions are another matter.
Moreover, "Spider-Man" has only been released for two weeks, and before it has even become a complete hit, Hollywood has already shown the true appearance behind the glamor:
It's cold.
So, Anson does not blame Connor and Lily for their hesitation. They have the right to be shaken and the right to be confused.
Life is like this, constantly moving forward in encounters, understandings and partings. After all, there are only a few who can move forward hand in hand with like-minded people. At one fork in the road, they embark on completely different journeys because of different choices. development path, but in the end, they all need to be responsible for their own choices and bear all the consequences that follow.
If those choices were decisions made by Hayden and Brad after careful consideration, he hoped that they could go on unswervingly and finally reach the other side of the dream they were chasing -
After all, everyone has a different opinion of their own life. The conceptual blueprints are all different.
Carefully, Anson opened the piano, his fingertips hovering above the black and white keys, wandering slowly, feeling the time and light flowing between his fingers, and he seemed to feel a calling in the dark. , a shallow chant surged deep in the throat, and the fingertips fell.
Ding.
The crisp sound of the piano keys collided with the melody swirling in my mind, evolving into golden notes that danced between the keys.
"Oh, oh oh oh..."
Gently, Anson hummed softly.
