Chapter 667: Why Hemingway Beat Himself
In the recording studio, Claire wore headphones, listened to the lively melody with her eyes closed, and sang: "Don't, make it pop. DJ, blow my speakers up. Tonight, Imma fight till we see the sunlight. Tick tock, on the clock, But the party don't..."
After singing, she let out a slight sigh and took off her earphones.
"How about it?"
It was the producer Bob who answered her. Bob, who once moved his hairline and regained his confidence through hair transplantation, frowned and said: "It's okay, it's okay. But I think it can be better. This paragraph, you try ..."
After communicating these technical details, Bob asked her: "What happened to your last sigh."
"I didn't." Claire denied it.
"You have."
"I don't."
"It does. I hear it."
Claire stared at him wide-eyed, and the notoriously strict producer stared back.
"Well," Claire shrugged in defeat, "just because of the song..."
Bob smiled, "Isn't it? You can also write works of this level, you know."
"Yeah," Claire's tone was a bit disheartened, "but in my life, how many works of this level can I write? Three? Five? But that guy can take it casually." Publishing dozens of works of this level... God, this is too shocking, you know?"
"Claire," Bob said seriously, stopping his grin, "do you know the biggest reason for my success?"
"What is it?"
"Because I learned not to compare with those real geniuses, but to do my own thing down-to-earth. This world needs some real geniuses to do some great things. But it also needs people like me to do some great things. Less grand, but equally essential. I can't be a Master, but I can be an Expert."
Claire pouted, not because she felt aggrieved, but because she was used to this awkward way of expression and didn't want to show her inner touch and tenderness.
"Come on, hug," Bob said.
Claire walked over obediently and let Bob hug her gently.
It's a very simple, encouraging hug.
Heartwarming.
"Come on, Claire. Be yourself, okay!"
"Okay." Claire sniffed and nodded vigorously.
"I think you are very close to the ideal state. In a few days, you should be able to record this song. When do you plan to release it?" Bob asked.
Claire looked unhappy: "Wait for the notice."
Bob stroked his beard, completely puzzled: "Wait... for the notification? Whose notification are you waiting for?"
"Hemingway."
"Why, you have to get his approval before you can release his song?"
"Yeah," Claire wanted to complain a long time ago, and seized the opportunity to pour out her bitterness, "I've never seen such an exaggerated person, have you? It also stipulates that I must release the song at the time specified by him. As long as I can After writing a song like this, I would turn my head away and let him eat ass!"
"But, why did he do this? Could it be that you offended him?" Bob looked up and down Claire's sexy and plump figure, and jokingly said, "He wants to sleep with you, don't you agree?"
"Damn it! Actually, I want to sleep with him!" There are many people in the Stars and Stripes who don't shy away from talking about sex.
And in the relationship between men and women, it is not considered that men must be the active party.
There is an interesting statistic. According to a sample survey among the 20-45-year-old population in the Stars and Stripes, each female has had an average of 12.7 sexual partners, and each male has an average of 5.4 sexual partners.
Moreover, the researchers believe that this data is inaccurate.
Because women are more inclined to hide their sexual experience to avoid being "slut-shamed"; men are more inclined to exaggerate their sexual experience, commonly known as "bragging".
They believe that the actual data should be that the average number of sexual partners for women should be more than 14, and the average number of sexual partners for men should be less than 4.
In this open culture, Claire's statement of "I just want to sleep with Hemingway" did not surprise or disgust Bob.
He just smiled, "Then your competition is too strong. When will you bring back a Grammy for best female pop singer? IMHO, Tiktok is pretty good, maybe has a chance to be nominated, but it should be hard to win .”
"It's hard to be shortlisted," Claire said with a shrug. "There are too many competitors."
Bob looked confused again.
He is a very powerful producer, but he has been almost semi-retired in recent years, and he is not well informed about the news in the industry.
Claire told him: "Hemingway will be writing songs for at least a dozen singers this year. Most of them have got songs and are recording them, as far as I know. It sounds good, in the past, they were able to win the weekly crown consecutively. And these songs will be released at the same time."
Bob blurted out, "Is he crazy? I don't see the good in him doing it."
After a pause, he said, "If it is true as you said, these songs are of high quality and have the potential to win the crown. Why didn't he release them in several years, so that the Stars and Stripes won the Grammy Awards for several consecutive years?" It was contracted by him! Now that it is released at a certain time, those songs that originally had the potential of Zhou Guan will not be able to enter Zhou Guan, so they will be buried? Is it interesting to beat yourself?"
Claire still defended Du Caige: "I think he is a smart person, and he must have his reasons for doing so. Besides, he may have hidden too many excellent songs, and he can release more than a dozen songs every year."
"Then it's better to play one song every month."
Claire frowned and thought about it, guessing: "Maybe he wants to promote his movie, I remember he said that he made a movie with an investment of over 100 million yuan as a director, and it is likely to be released globally simultaneously in the summer. And his request to us is to release the song within a certain time period during the summer vacation.”
Bob also thinks this possibility is great: "This is the only explanation. If such a move can increase his movie box office by several hundred million, it must be worth it. But is his movie quality so high? Claire, Then let's watch this movie together."
Claire smiled: "No. Duan should invite me to watch the premiere."
"Hell, you want to sleep with her man, and she still invites you to watch the premiere? If I were her, I would tear your mouth apart."
"Oriental girls have a good personality. After getting along with her for a long time, I feel that I have become Buddhist."
"Buddhism?"
"It means becoming like Buddha, a deity in their religion."
"I know what a Buddha is. But how can a man become like a god?"
"I don't understand either, I will study it when I have time."
