The recording of the new album is progressing very quickly, because the record company has made preparations early, and all the soft and hard facilities have been put in place. As long as Angela wants, it can start at any time - after all, the most popular singers of the group have already I haven't released an album for two years. If it wasn't for another popular group, the CEO might have changed.
Second, Angela's state is also quite good. She also knows that after signing three albums, it is unreasonable that the last album will not be released, so she has been writing songs since the end of last year. And if I have time, I will privately audition a few lines to maintain a good state, so the progress is so smooth.
Just because Peter promised to write the theme song for The Lord of the Rings, and three of them, as well as being the producer of Avril and Lindsay, plus so many other things—movies, casting, Cannes, and more— So in the end, there are only eight songs that are completely original. And the rest, a cover from Ronan Keating's "When you say nothing at all", many people have covered it, and it's interesting that "Notting Hill", which she interfered with, still uses this song as a The theme song; while the other is a French song "encore une fois" dug out from memory.
For Angela, this is really depressing, but who makes her always have so many other things to do? Well, since copying it like this, let’s copy it, anyway, this kind of thing has been done countless times. Burns, while slightly odd about her adding a French song, didn't object, quipping that she "has finally started to sing again". In short, it is absolutely possible to complete the recording of the new album in about half a month, oh, this time may be longer, because I said before—
"Very good, great singing." Angela gave Avril a thumbs up in front of the microphone, "Especially the phrase 'rolling in the clouds and screaming' is very explosive, and the singing is very flavorful!"
"Thank you, that's because your 'Roller Roller' is too much to my taste!" Avril, who took the assistant's water glass and moistened her throat, said with a grin, "The huge ups and downs of rhythm allow me to take full advantage of myself. played out."
"Although it's very energetic, it sounds like it's showing off." Lindsay, who was next to Angela, said tastefully at this time.
Angela couldn't help but glanced at the girl and looked at Avril again, and then both of them laughed, and even the two assistants who were about to go out laughed. Lindsay, who put down her earphones, was suddenly angry, and stared at Angela as if she wanted to "kill" her with her eyes, but in exchange for her mischievous kneading.
"The little guy is jealous." Angela said in an insightful tone.
"I'm not jealous!" Lindsay's face flushed red, and she jumped up and defended her ass as if she had been pricked by a needle. It's a pity that Angela was hugged by the waist and dragged into her arms again. Even if she used both hands and feet, she couldn't struggle, so she had to continue protesting in her arms: "I just expressed my feelings, what kind of jealousy is this."
"Of course, of course, it's not really jealous if you only understand it literally, it's just..." Angela ravaged her head with a smile, "First, this kind of showy singing is originally Weiwei's established style; second Well, your tone is too obvious, or why did Walcott and Carrington smile when they went out."
"Damn, you will laugh at me!" Lindsay finally struggled out of Angela's arms, and after snorting heavily at her and Avril, she sat aside, turned her head to look at the wall, and cupped her face in a dull way. .
"Okay, Lindsay, you're not in the same genre as me, what's there to compare? The two pop and country songs you sang are also very good." Avril said comfortingly, "Angie La thinks so too."
Lindsay, who had her back to them, couldn't help turning her head to look, seeing Angela and Avril still staring at herself with a smile, and then hurriedly looked at the wall. After a long while, he turned his head around a little, and asked in a loud voice, "Really?"
"Don't be childish, Lindsay, didn't you record well?" Angela shook her head with a smile, and pulled Lindsay into her arms again. Well, it feels good, and the little guy has begun to be uneven. She thought maliciously.
But Lindsay still pouted and looked dull, and Angela couldn't help rolling her eyes: "You need to understand where your focus is, Lindsay. Unless you give up the opportunity to appear on the big screen to become a singer, otherwise It’s definitely not as good as Weiwei in music. And even if you do this, after a few years of hard work, you still can’t beat her. You must know that Weiwei has spontaneously worked hard in the direction of music since she was four years old. It's definitely unique on rock and roll."
Seeing what the little girl wanted to say, Angela immediately raised her finger and shook it: "Don't move me out, I have also practiced various musical instruments since I was four years old, at least 4 to 6 hours a day, Until the age of ten. Although the time to practice is less now, it has never stopped."
Having said this, she rubbed Lindsay's head: "You just need to do your best, it doesn't matter if you are not perfect, flawed or even fail, understand?"
"Got it," Lindsay sighed, "then I'll work hard on pop music, okay?"
"Well, I was wondering if I could try other types of music," Avril, who was rubbing her chin, said suddenly with a serious voice, "like POP or something."
"Don't be so greedy, you'd better do your own rock music first." Lindsay waved her fist with a sense of crisis, "Don't tell me, you will enter the big screen after you achieve something in music! "
"Of course not, but it's not a bad thing to try other types of music, right..." Avril replied with a smile, "Everyone who really likes music will do this."
Lindsay raised her right eyebrow and looked at Avril carefully, then looked at the time and coughed, got up and walked to the door: "It's time for a break, I'm going back to practice, see you later."
"Stay in good shape, I'll come over and record "the climb" for you anytime, tell them don't worry, I promise this song will be great." Angela said with a smile, "Also, I'm sorry I can't go to the studio to visit you during the summer vacation. Ben, may you enjoy the next few weeks in Tennessee."
"Beautiful Girl is a Big Star" will start in Tennessee in early July. The reason for choosing this time is mainly because several theme songs of the movie have to be recorded first, and Angela has long stated that she will personally produce "The Climb" for Lindsay, But she was so busy that she had no time to spare, and it has been delayed until now.
This is not without benefits. Disney took this opportunity to arrange for Lindsay to receive formal vocal training for half a year. The little girl also wanted to perform better in front of Angela, and she improved a lot during this time.
The downside is that the original plan to come back from New Zealand to visit the studio was put on hold, and "A Beautiful Mind" will be launched in Massachusetts soon. That's why Angela said sorry to Lindsay.
Although Lindsay knew that this was impossible, she felt a little depressed in her heart. In addition, she had "taken a lot of blows" before, made a face to the two of them, and left the recording studio with her head held high without saying a word.
"Good cooperation, Vivi!" Angela gave Avril a thumbs up after the little girl went out.
Avril shrugged a little puzzled: "Lindsay just wanted to hear you praise her. I was there when recording "Butterfly Fly Away". At least from her point of view, it was a good job, so why are you so stingy? How about some compliments? Worried that the recording of "The Climb" will not go well?"
"Of course not, she did a great job recording 'Butterfly Fly Away' and 'the climb' will be no exception." Angela shook her head. This version of "the climb", which she and Lindsay "created" together, is very close to the original version, but it matches Lindsay's voice very well. As long as the little girl performs well, it is absolutely possible to be a bit higher than the original version, but—
"Butterfly Fly Away" is another song from the original film, and like "the climb", Angela only gave Lindsay half the song and half the lyrics and then she figured out how to add it.
Although "Butterfly Fly Away" from Lindsay is not as close to the original as "the climb", it has a different flavor, and that kind of gratitude for the father's love has deeply touched several producers. However, Angela, who is familiar with her, knows that it is not so much gratitude for the father's love as the desire for this kind of father's love. It can be imagined that when Lindsay supplemented this song, she made a fictional father for herself, and gave this illusory character the fatherly love she longed for.
I hope the script I prepared for her can somewhat make up for the hesitation in her heart. Angela stared at the ceiling in a trance, before speaking again after a long while: "Actually, what I worry about is not her ability, but... Vivi, Jesse should have told you about Lindsay's family situation, right? ?"
Avril folded her arms and thought about it carefully: "Jesse said that her parents... don't seem to be very good."
"This evaluation is not bad." Angela waved her hand, "If you want me to say... Forget it, let's not talk about this topic. In short, Lindsay's current situation is very delicate, she can't praise her too much, and treat her Irresponsibly holding onto the cloud will only hurt her; at the same time, it cannot undermine her confidence, and it is best for her to understand that it is best to show her best side."
"It's such a blessing to have a good sister. I can't help but feel a little jealous Lindsay." Avril sighed exaggeratedly, turning her eyes and asking with interest: "But you praise me But he spared no effort, why is that?"
"Because you are different." Angela pouted, and saw Avril's questioning expression and spread her hands again: "Although you also want to be the center of attention and be praised by others, you can also face these things calmly at the same time. ."
"Wow, how did you come to this conclusion?" Avril raised her eyebrows and stared at Angela with interest, as if you didn't make it clear, I'd stop with you.
"Okay, I've already praised you, so I can't keep praising you, right?" How could Angela not know what she was thinking, and couldn't help but look at her funny, "Maybe I'll hit you next."
"Come on, you said that I can calmly face other people's compliments, can't I say a few more words?" Avril pulled the chair over, sat down and put her hands on her face, pretending to be cute like Lindsay before. .
"Then it's impossible to praise you without restraint, or are you planning to use this method to surpass me?" Angie stretched her hand and flicked her forehead, "I can understand you well, Weiwei, or hurry up Let me start recording honestly."
"Hmph, Angie is so boring." Avril covered her forehead and made a face at Angela. Seeing that the other party ignored her and she was about to start recording again, she stood up reluctantly, and followed the exaggerated rounds of her arms a few times: "Isn't it just recording, how can I be stumped by this super invincible beautiful girl..."
Before the words were finished, a crisp sound came from her butt, and Avril screamed and jumped up, turning her head to "glare" at the initiator. It's a pity that Angela was debugging the equipment in such a good time, as if the previous events had nothing to do with her.
"Can't I be proud of myself?" Avril could only hum.
"So you think you are ready to take over the baton of the C&B group?" Angela raised her head and looked at Avril with interest. The arrangement of the record company is that the C&B group will hold a national tour in early July, Avril will release a new album through Yu Wen a month and a half later, and Angela will escort them at the end of September.
"Of course, I have that confidence!" Avril raised her chest proudly.
Angela watched her for a long time, then sighed softly and put away her smile: "Vivi, it's good to have self-confidence, but it will be bad if self-confidence turns into arrogance."
Avril tilted her head and looked at Angela carefully, and after confirming something, she put away her smile: "I understand, Angie, don't worry, you just said that I can face applause and praise calmly, right?"
She walked to Angela and reached out and patted the other person's shoulder: "I understand the difference between self-confidence and arrogance, and I also have enough self-confidence. Don't forget, you are the goal I want to surpass, if you don't have enough strength and How can you be confident? Also, don't forget that you encouraged me and recommended me, or you don't have confidence in yourself?"
Angela blinked in surprise, but she was more relieved: "Okay, then show everyone your strength and confidence, little rock witch."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hands and squeezed Avril's face affectionately, while Avril was not to be outdone and flicked a note on Angela's forehead to show her previous counterattack, and then both of them laughed in a low voice.
"Okay, let's continue now, we've finished making it for you and Lindsay and myself." Angela waved her hand, then raised her fist in front of Avril: "Come on, work hard to surpass me."
"Work hard to surpass you!" Avril stretched out her fist and touched hers, her thumbs pressed together and pushed hard before they separated. When she came to the microphone with a smile and was about to put on her headphones, Angela's roar rang out: "Walcott and Carrington, these two guys want me to finish all the work before I plan to come back?!"
With the completion of Angela's recording of "Roller Roller" specially written for Avril, Weiwei's album is basically formed, and the rest is just makeup, posters and publicity previews. Watching Avril turn into the punk girl in her memory little by little under the makeup artist's pen, the feeling is really wonderful.
Weiwei also likes her look very much.
"Not only does it not feel decadent, but it looks vibrant. I like this look." Avril, wearing black jeans, a short-sleeved T-shirt and red and white canvas shoes with smoky eye makeup, once showed off in front of Angela. The one who walks shows his "coolness". Angela's reaction to this was to shrug without saying a word.
Lindsay's single recorded equally well, and "the climb" worked as well as expected. Angela complimented the little girl appropriately, which made Lindsay very happy, and she was even more looking forward to the upcoming film industry.
After finishing their production, Angela returned to her album and declined the invitation to be a guest performer at the C&B concert. By the way, Britney and Christina started chatting with each other after the morning at the villa, and Avril started to ask Angela if they were a couple again. Angela couldn't help but want to sigh while perfunctory. These two guys shouldn't germinate again in the future.
In addition to recording her own new album, Angela has a lot to do in Los Angeles. For example, in one or two talk shows, he made a detailed explanation for his back-to-back performance in "The Lord of the Rings" and his remarks in Cannes. While she has blogged about it, it's certainly not as effective as telling it on TV.
"I love Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings novels, which is why I dress up as Legolas for Halloween. Of course, the make-up for the movie must be different from this screenshot, and I'm way too exaggerated to dress myself up. ' Angela said with a laugh after the host pulled out the picture taken from NBC News.
At the same time, she did not forget to say a few good words for Peter: "Peter is an excellent director. He has his own unique ideas and rich imagination. When the movie is released, it will definitely surprise people. However, I hope he doesn't. Will hate me because I take time off so often as a lead actor."
When talking about the media controversy caused by the remarks in Cannes, Angela did not say much, but repeated the words written on the blog again: "My words are only for von Trier, I don't like him. As for the latter The meaning of that sentence is very simple. If you want to occupy the market, you must consider the tone of the audience. You can't complain that people don't like it after you make a movie that people don't understand. This is not in line with market rules."
The reason for this was because Angela didn't want to add fuel to the fire. Although the media on both sides of the Atlantic had some tit-for-tat tastes, they were basically restrained. This is due to the restraint of the European media, and their restraint is because von Trier's earliest speeches already questioned the Palme d'Or.
So she didn't want to expand the situation. For celebrities, it's best not to use "map guns" if they can.
