Superstars start from Hong Kong Entertainment

Chapter 614 World Top 1994 Classic Songs in [-]

Early the next morning, He Jin arrived at the branch of Columbia Records in Japan early.

After Columbia Records was acquired by Sony, it was an independent company, and the previous branches were still the same.

And Mariah Carey belongs to Columbia Records, she doesn't belong to Sony.

Therefore, the company responsible for the promotion of her Japanese record is also Columbia Records.

After arriving at the Columbia company, He Jin waited for about ten minutes before Mariah Carey rushed over.

"He, I'm really sorry. I was busy last night. You shouldn't have waited too long, right?"

After meeting He Jin, Mariah Carey immediately apologized for being late.

"It's okay, I just arrived."

For this, He Jin didn't mean to blame him.

He himself is a busy person and often works late at night, so he understands each other very well.

"Then let's get to work! To be honest, I feel like I'm about to collapse. I finished recording a song with you today, and I have two days of record promotion activities tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I haven't slept well for several days! In addition, Still jet lagged..."

Mariah Carey was very familiar, and began to complain to He Jin.

"The nature of our work is like this, and it was the same when I released the album, flying all over the place, attending various events every day.

Sometimes I think, it would be great if I didn't become a singer! "

"Oh! Yes! Before I became a singer, I really wanted to be popular, and I wanted to stand on the big stage and present my most exciting performance to the audience.

But when I really became popular, I realized how difficult this business really is. "

The two double-tagged for a while, and they had already arrived at Columbia's recording studio.

At this time, there was already a foreign sound engineer waiting in the recording studio.

The foreigner was not very talkative, so after nodding to the two of them, he began to fiddle with the machine on his own.

He Jin and the two didn't continue chatting and started recording songs.

He Jin, the arranger of the song "We Can't Stop", had already produced it in Xiangjiang, so today he only needs to record it.

Otherwise, if the arrangement work has not been completed, let alone one day, even three days, it is impossible to complete the recording.

Red wine and sweaty bodies everywhere
We raise our hands and wave to the music
we are bohemian
Aren't young people just there to have fun?
……

"Hi! Don't die, He, your articulation should be clearer. Although your slurred English is cool, the audience can't understand what you mean. No matter how good the song is, this song of yours is useless."

He Jin sang and recorded first, the first time he sang only a few lines because his voice hadn't opened yet, the foreigner sound engineer stopped him.

"Remember, I need you to open your throat and spit out your lyrics!"

The foreign sound engineer was very serious and criticized He Jin mercilessly.

"Thanks! I see, I'll improve right away!"

He Jin was not dissatisfied because of being criticized.

To be honest, he likes this serious person very much.

Ah Kun, the sound engineer of their company, is such a person. He will not relax his requirements for works just because you are famous or rich.

When He Jin usually records songs, as long as there are some flaws, he will speak out mercilessly.

It is this kind of seriousness to work that He Jin has already raised his salary twice.

He Jin, a sound engineer who is as strict as Ah Kun, has also seen it. When he recorded "Song of the Earth" with Michael Jackson in the United States last time, Michael Jackson's sound engineer was also very strict.

Behind every superstar stands a group of behind-the-scenes personnel who are meticulous about their works, and it is these people who make them such superstars.

Therefore, not only does he not dislike such people, but he also appreciates them very much.

After the foreigner sound engineer deleted the recording just now, he signaled to He Jin that he could continue.

Seeing this, He Jin started the second recording.

Perhaps it is because the foreigner speaks English, so He Jin encountered the most clicks in his history today!
Either the pronunciation is unclear, or the breathing is wrong, or there is a problem with the rhythm.

Over and over again, and finally when his mouth was dry, his lyrics for the first part of the song had all been recorded.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

As soon as He Jin walked out of the recording booth, Mariah Carey handed him a cup of coffee.

"Thank you!"

He Jin nodded, took the coffee, drank it, and walked to the side of the foreigner to watch Mariah Carey's recording.

Compared with He Jin, Mariah Carey's recording was much smoother, and she finished recording in just half an hour.

The reason for this is not because she sings better than He Jin.

The main reason is the language problem.

He Jin speaks English very well, but he is not an out-and-out foreigner after all. To achieve the best level in each recording, he needs to pay more.

Mariah Carey is different, she is an authentic old beauty, she grew up in English from novels, spoken English is no problem for her, she just needs to control the rhythm, memorize the lyrics and melody, and pay attention to control when singing Emotions will do.

By the time Mariah Carey's part of the recording was finished, it was already half past twelve.

A few people did not continue recording, but ate first.

People are like iron, food is like steel, no matter how busy you are, you will definitely have to eat this meal.

Although most of the songs have been recorded in the morning, there is still a lot of work in the afternoon, and it takes time to mix and synthesize them.

So the few people didn't go too far to eat, so they found a restaurant nearby to eat casually.

"He, you are the best Chinese I have ever seen who speaks English.

When I heard your song for the first time, I almost thought that the United States had another strong opponent! "

On the way, Mariah Carey said.

"Thank you, it's actually not as good as you said. I just practice a lot and have a little talent for languages."

He Jin said modestly.

The sound engineer is also with them, but this guy is too boring. You ask him a question and he will answer. After chatting with him for a few words, he stops talking with him and talks to Mariah Carey about singing. Technique, music composition and more.

When they came to the restaurant, they found a private room to order food.

Several people chatted while eating.

Halfway through the meal, Mariah Carey suddenly said:
"He, can I invite you to sing?"

"This..." Mariah Carey's words caught her off guard. After thinking for a while, He Jin nodded: "Yes, if you don't mind, I can write you a song."

In fact, He Jin wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he decided to write a song for her.

Although He Jin has entered North America, he is not always in the United States like other singers.

Therefore, he knows only a handful of North American singers.

So far, the real European and American big-name singers, he also knows Michael Jackson and British Seale.

It wouldn't do him any harm if he befriended Mariah Carey.

"thanks, thanks!"

After receiving He Jin's response, Mariah Carey couldn't help but thank him in broken Chinese.

"You're welcome, we are friends, but you may have to wait for a while for the song, after all it takes time to create a song!"

He Jin said.

"OK, I get it! Thank you so much for writing me a song!
You don't know, there are so many singers in the United States who want to ask you to write songs!

Now I'm the first American besides Michael Jackson to get your song! "

As Mariah Carey spoke, she couldn't help showing a proud expression, as if He Jin's song was a great honor.

He Jin was a little puzzled, and looked at the foreigner sound engineer.

"Last week, a program in the United States ranked the world's top 1994 classic songs in [-], and you were shortlisted six.

Therefore, many people in the United States now want to invite you to sing! "

The foreigner sound engineer spoke lightly.

Hearing this, He Jin couldn't help but smiled. Although he was a little happy, he didn't care too much.

Just like Xiangjiang likes to make top ten celebrities and top ten goddesses, Laomei also likes to make these rankings.

These rankings are not professional. Although they are famous, they have little influence.

After eating for an hour, several people rushed back to Colombia immediately after the meal to continue recording.

Although the work in the afternoon took a long time, it went smoothly. At [-]:[-] pm, the song "We Can't Stop" was finally announced to be completed.

After dinner, He Jin went back to the hotel alone.

He also needs to help with a promotional meeting for Maria Kay tomorrow morning, so he'll have to keep his spirits up tonight.

This publicity meeting is not only helping Mariah Carey, but also helping himself.

Because tomorrow he and Mariah Carey will sing "We Can't Stop" live, and the scene will be recorded as a video for the MV.

So, this can be regarded as helping himself.
