"After the British defeated the Netherlands in 1664, they acquired New Amstel and renamed it New York, and it was only then that English immigrants began to come to New York on a large scale, and they were officially registered, and if their descendants needed it, they should The names of their ancestors can be found here."
In the empty classical-style hall, Natalie pointed to the yellowed pages with heavy history in the glass cabinets placed next to the walls and introduced, light brown tops, light-colored short skirts, and The long hair that grew out again made her look very confident.
"Thank you for your introduction, Nat, it's great." Kate, who had been listening, clapped softly, then turned to the black guard on the other side, "What do you think, Mr. Cody?"
"Of course, of course, this little girl's knowledge of history is stronger than many of the visitors who come here." The fat black guard nodded and smiled.
"Mr. Cody means that basically no one has been to the Immigration Museum on Ellis Island." A very dissonant voice sounded.
"Angie!" Kate called out in a funny, drawn-out voice, and she'd vomited several times over the past few days.
"I'm just telling the truth. You see, today, apart from us, basically no one is here." Angela closed the magazine in her hand, spread her hands, and looked innocent. She cut her hair short, and she looked refreshing. Many, plus light-colored tops and shorts added a lot of liveliness to her.
"It's nothing, Kate, I'm used to it anyway." Natalie shrugged helplessly, but because she didn't believe she was Miss AM, she was actually held grudges until now. She was really speechless towards Angela.
"Okay, okay, then Mr. Cody, please take us to the next showroom, Nat, please continue, okay." Kate looked at Angela, she still didn't care, and could only be like Nat Tully smiled helplessly and shrugged.
Of course Angela didn't want to be like this, but she was always brooding about Natalie's disbelief in her, even though she made Natalie admit her strength that night after showing her hand, and as an apology, replied. After being a tour guide, she is still very dissatisfied with this matter, so when visiting New York, she always has to say a few words occasionally. As for the state of mind, she does not know.
Following Kate and the others, Angela turned over the "Billboard" in her hand and read the relevant comments:
"We've been looking forward to seeing what surprises Miss AM will bring to us when she releases her first album, but unfortunately, it's still a 15-minute EP, but no one can deny that it brings The surprise surprised many people!
I don't want to comment on Disney or Miss AM's motivation for doing this, but what I want to say is that this is indeed a rare pure music EP, the creativity and skills have been very well reflected, the skills are proficient and dynamic, Miss AM still lacks the temperament of a master, but her free and easy musical characteristics are refreshing. I have to say that Miss AM's musical quality is much higher than that of many singers. "
Of course, there are praises and criticisms, but most of the criticisms focus on the practice of releasing this pure music EP:
"I really don't know what Disney is thinking, Miss AM's potential in pop music is obvious, but abandon this great situation to develop the pure music market? Disney executives or eat too much aspirin
I don't mean to offend Miss AM, I also admit that this is a very good first-class pure music EP, but I still hope that Miss AM can return to pop music, that is her widest world! "
Obviously, although this pure music EP has received unanimous praise, its prospects are not optimistic, but Angela does not care about this. It all depends on personal bad taste - if she can really meet the conditions given by her, it means that she and the singer are indeed very destined. Well, through this incident, it can be seen that the little girl is really boring sometimes. If it wasn't for her family background, she was indeed powerful. If it was someone else, Disney would not be bored with her.
However, although the comments are somewhat one-sided - appreciate the level of music, not optimistic about the market prospects. But this does not mean that the market will follow what they say. Although Angela, who is sometimes confused, doesn't know what Disney is promoting, but she knows that with the two songs in the EP, at least a lot of people who are on the EP can be attracted. audience.
Remember when John Burns said he was going to play subversive? These two 15-minute piano pieces are actually composed of the three pieces of the last EP after careful editing. ", "My Name is Elaine" in the order, and the latter one reverses the order.
It's not so easy to make up. "The Big World" and "My Name is Elaine" are all good. It's really hard to change "Super Complex" into a piano piece. Thanks to John's repeated attempts, plus Some of Angela's flashes of inspiration can be considered a successful adaptation, but when she plays it, she can't hear any connection with "Super Complicated". Only after listening carefully can you feel the little enthusiasm hidden in the melody. a feeling of.
However, this is only one of the problems to be solved in the arrangement. Others include how to connect them, and how to reflect the different tastes of the two songs after reversing the order, but retain their due attraction, etc. In short , It took nearly a month to arrange the music alone, and John lost a lot of hair as the music director.
Although it is troublesome, it also has obvious advantages. The pure music market is no match for pop songs. Instead of developing new audiences, it is better to win the original fans. As long as one-fifth of the fans of the last EP buy it, It will not be difficult to reach the sales volume of 1 platinum, not to mention that the sales volume of the EP is basically approaching 6 platinum.
Of course, for Angela, there is no need to think so much at all. Her enthusiasm for making records is much lower than that of making movies. It is not that she does not like music, but it is obviously for those who have left their voices and smiles in movies. Women, she was more impressed.
"So, where are we going next?" Kate's voice came over at this time, and before she knew it, the Immigration Museum had already been visited.
"If you want to continue to learn about the history of New York, we can go to the History Museum, and if you want to see the scenery of New York, we can go to Central Park." Natalie replied.
"No, no, don't worry, we have other places to go." Angela stepped forward and interjected at this time.
"What, do you have any other arrangements, Angie?" Kate asked in surprise. Natalie has always set the route for visiting New York these days.
"Yes dear, it was supposed to go a few days ago, but considering your first time in New York, I postponed it, now places like the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, etc. have been visited , then I think this itinerary can also be put on the agenda." Angela shrugged.
"Can you tell me what it is?" Kate became interested, and Natalie looked at her curiously.
But Angela raised her index finger with a smile and shook it, then said hello to the black guard, and then jumped out and walked out. Kate and Natalie looked at each other suspiciously, and said hello to Mr. Guard and followed out. .
Outside the museum, Mr. Wenger, the driver arranged by grandpa, was already waiting in the car, which made Kate and Natalie even more strange. They came to the Immigration Museum on Ellis Island by boat after visiting the Statue of Liberty. Wenger The gentleman should be waiting in the parking lot outside Liberty Island. Now that he is here, it can only be said that Angela has made arrangements.
The little girl didn't care so much. She sat in the co-pilot directly, and then greeted the two of them to sit up. Without waiting for Mr. Wenger to ask about the destination, she took the big brick prepared in the car and made a phone call.
"Hi, Mr. Hawke, it's me, yes, Angela, you didn't tell him, did you?… Great, where are you now?… Yes, I'm in New York… Okay, I see. So, Again, please keep this a secret until I arrive, thank you!"
Putting away the wireless phone, Angela smiled uncontrollably and turned to the driver: "Mr. Wenger, please take us to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel!"
"As you wish, miss." Mr. Wenger started the car with a smile.
"Angie, where are we going and what are we going to do?" Kate couldn't help asking behind.
"Let's visit the class!" The beaming little girl finally revealed something.
"Visit the class? What class? Whose class?" Kate hurriedly asked, but Angela immediately closed her mouth, just smiled and didn't speak, and Kate could only shrug helplessly in the end.
The traffic conditions in New York City are rare, and there are almost no traffic jams. After the car has turned several streets, the towering Waldorf Astoria has appeared not far away. A film crew is filming in the distance.
When she got out of the car nearby, Angela couldn't wait to run forward, even ignoring Kate's voice calling her from behind. Soon she bypassed some onlookers and got into the middle of the staff. She had already seen Huo Mr. Ke, but just when she was about to go there, a staff member stopped her: "Hey, dear, there's a movie being filmed here, please don't walk through at will?"
"I know this is a movie." The little girl said, rolling her eyes twice, and then said solemnly: "This is a movie where my father is the protagonist. As a daughter, shouldn't I come to see him?"
"Your father?" The staff looked at Angela suspiciously.
"Of course!" Angela turned her head, and the two male protagonists were just ready to enter the stage. She immediately pointed to one of them and said, "Look, that's my dad."
The two male protagonists, one is very young, but about 20 years old, quite handsome, with the taste of a creampie. The other one can't tell his age, it is estimated to be over forty, his big back hair is neatly combed, but his eyes are wide open, without focus, he looks like a blind man, that is Al Pacino!
