save the bachelors

Chapter 3146 [Wanderer]

Once the songs are selected, the recording of the album starts immediately.

He plans to record eleven songs in the UK, and then go to the US to collaborate with Mariah Carey on "we belong together".

After watching this song, Mariah Carey expressed that she was very satisfied and looked forward to Xiang Nan going to the United States as soon as possible to start cooperation.

While Xiang Nan was recording the album, he received an unexpected phone call.

It turned out that Rosamund Pike, who had previously co-produced the MV, called and asked him if he was interested in auditioning for the movie "The Prodigal Son".

This film is a historical film co-produced by the United Kingdom and Australia. It tells the story of the infamous and absurd life of the Oxford prodigy Earl of Rochester, who lived in the corrupt Bourbon dynasty of England in the [-]th century.

The film's lead role has been set to be played by Johnny Depp, with Rosamund playing the second supporting actress.

After she passed the audition, she learned that there was still a lack of a male actor to play the friend of the Earl of Rochester.

She thought Xiang Nan's acting skills were very good and he was famous enough, so she recommended Xiang Nan to the director.

Xiang Nan was surprised to receive this call.

Because he only cooperated with Rosamund once, which was to shoot the MV of "cry me a river".During the filming of the MV, he was always courteous, never flirting, not flirting, so there was no romantic spark.

And after the filming ended, he didn't contact Rosamund again, so he never expected that she would actually call him, which made him flattered for a while.

"Okay, thank you, Rosa, I will go." Xiang Nan smiled.

Although he is very busy recording an album now, in order to live up to Rosamond's kindness, Xiang Nan still decided to audition for "The Libertine".

……

Xiang Nan then went to the set of "The Libertine" and auditioned for his role.

That is a supporting role such as the third male or fourth male, and there are not many scenes.

After the trial, Xiang Nan went back directly, and didn't pay attention to this matter after that.

For him, this is just a small episode.

……

At the beginning of October, Xiang Nan finally finished recording eleven songs.

During this period, the crew of "The Libertine" notified Xiang Nan that he had passed the audition for "The Libertine".

The crew hopes that he will spare two months from March to May next year to participate in the film.

Xiang Nan couldn't help being a little surprised by this, he never thought that he was so lucky that he was actually selected.

He finally agreed to the crew's invitation and then went to the United States to record "we belong together" with Mariah Carey.

"Miss Kelly, it's really an honor to be able to cooperate with you." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"Me too, I know you are talented, but you still amaze me." Mariah Carey also laughed.

She has listened to Xiang Nan's four songs, regardless of the rhythm, melody, lyrics, singing, and even dance, they are all polished very well. It is no wonder that he has become a famous star after only half a year since his debut. It is indeed not easy.

Moreover, the most important thing is that the songwriters of these songs are all Xiang Nan himself, which is even more rare.

Because there has always been no shortage of "pseudo singer-songwriters" in the music world.

Since people favor talented people, if a singer can write lyrics and compose music, it will definitely be highly regarded.

So many singers will ask for signature rights. After they buy the song from the songwriter, they will write a harmony to it.

In this way, they are eligible to be included as songwriters, as if they are also talented and participated in the creation.But in fact, the difficulty of their creation is extremely low, and it is not even a creation at all.

Because the stars who dare to do this are basically already popular, and even the record companies have to support them, so even the songwriters dare not have opinions, and can only acquiesce in the occurrence of this situation.

It is also very simple to identify this kind of "fake singer-songwriter". As long as there are more than four songwriters, it is basically certain that the singer is a famous singer.

In comparison, Xiang Nan always has only one songwriter for each of his songs, so it can be determined that these songs were completed by him independently and are not nominal works.

It is natural that a person is very talented to write so many good songs by himself, which is why Mariah Carey admired him very much and agreed to cooperate with him.

……

On the other hand, it was because Mariah Carey also wanted to use Xiang Nan to make a comeback.

After her divorce from Sony Records president Tommy Mottola in [-], her career was greatly affected.

In fact, divorce is not new in the entertainment industry. The key is that the divorce between the two was so embarrassing.

When Mariah Carey first started her divorce proceedings, she broke the news that Mottola had been monitoring her phone calls and even sent private detectives to monitor her.

In order to collect evidence that Mottola monitored her, Mariah Carey also hired a private detective to monitor Mottola.

After these news broke, Mariah Carey's image was greatly affected.

After her divorce, Mariah Carey changed her boyfriend every few days, and all kinds of gossip news spread all over the place, which also had a great impact on her.

And after breaking up with Tommy Mottola, the president of Sony Records, Mariah Carey's career was hit by the other side.

For example, her new album "glitter" is going to be sampled from the song "Firecracker" by Yellow Magic Orchestra.Motola gave a sample of the song to Jennifer Lopez and asked her to release the single in advance.

As a result, Mariah Carey will no longer use the song as new, which will naturally greatly affect sales and force her to re-produce the single.

For example, Mariah Carey invited Irv Gotti to be her own producer, and Mottola took the lead and asked Irv Gotti to mix other songs...

Under such interference, Mariah Carey's new album could only be completed with difficulty, and the sales volume was naturally very poor, with only 200 million copies.

But her record sales in the 90s were more than [-] million.Therefore, it can be said to be a big decline in career.

Plus, after she left Sony Records, she went to Virgin Records.

In [-], there were changes in the top management of Virgin Records, and the newly appointed president Alan Levy actually decided to terminate the contract with Mariah Carey.

In addition, Mariah Carey tried to act in a movie in [-], hoping to gain both fame and fortune like Whitney Houston starred in "The Bodyguard".

As a result, the movie "Tears of Star Dream" she starred in was not only not highly rated, but also only had a box office of more than 400 million US dollars in the end, which caused the film company to lose a lot of money.

Because of this, although Mariah Carey is still known as the queen of American songs, her career has actually declined seriously, and she is only one step away from dying.

In comparison, Xiang Nan is a rising star, and he has risen very quickly. He can be said to have become famous overnight.

When cooperating with such a promising new star, it’s really hard to tell who will take advantage of whom.

Therefore, Mariah Carey is naturally somewhat flattering to Xiang Nan.

She also hopes to cooperate well, so that she can save her career.

Otherwise, it would be really troublesome.
