The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 637 Plagiarizing Songs
After listening to David Geffen introduce the singers signed by the company, Xu Guanwu really thinks that he is a bole in the record industry.In just half a year, seven singers have been excavated, and one singer releases a record almost every month.Among the seven singers, there are already famous singers who were recruited by him with a lot of money, and there are also new singers who were not well-known before and were selected only by his insight.

David Geffen's business philosophy is quite bold. The bands or singers he chooses are all controversial, such as Bob Dylan and the Eagles in the early days.Because it is controversial, it has something to watch and the possibility of hype.David Geffen is also good at digging out the different characteristics of each artist, for example, Bob Dylan was made into a fighter for democracy by him.The Eagles' "Hotel California" is full of ambiguity, making a bunch of hippies daydream.

Xu Guanwu feels that David Geffen's business philosophy is very similar to Yu Mama, a mainland TV producer.Don't be afraid of TV dramas that are ridiculous, don't be afraid of bad songs, as long as the artist has something to stir up, he can stir it up first.As long as there is popularity, there will be ratings for TV dramas and popularity for stars.So despite being scolded all the time, there are still many people willing to cooperate with him, and he is also one of the most popular TV drama producers in the Mainland.

David Geffen is now promoting these stars, all of which have their own personalities. For example, his first celebrity, Xueer, although the two are husband and wife, but Xueer's scandal is never ending.Newspapers, TV, magazines, and radio stations reported her scandal almost every day.

Xueer is only in her 30s, with a good face, a hot body, a bold style, and a cool dress, so she is very popular with a group of men.The people who gossip with her are either big stars or people who are either rich or expensive, which makes her gossip especially interesting.Reports can be made every now and then, and the exposure is quite astonishing.This also ensures that although her songs are not the best, her record sales remain high.

Deng Lijun couldn't help being very envious when she heard that Xueer's record can buy more than 100 million copies.In Asia, when her record has sold more than 50 copies, the record company can hold a celebration party.The market is different, the purchasing power is different, and the gap caused by it is too big.

After listening to David Geffen's introduction, everyone came to David Geffen's office again.As soon as he entered his office, Deng Lijun couldn't help but blush.It turned out that David Geffen hung a nude portrait of a male on the wall of his office. Although the portrait was a bit exaggerated, the words were still very obvious.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help blinking his eyes when he saw it, thinking that he must wash his eyes well when he goes back, so as not to get needles. "I think we should sit somewhere else."

David Geffen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "I'm sorry, I forgot that you Orientals are very conservative." He led Xu Guanwu and Xu Guanwu out, "Actually, don't get me wrong, that painting is actually a Paintings by famous artists, I admire his work very much, so I bought it for collection.”

"So that's the case. It seems that your hobby is quite elegant." Xu Guanwu smiled, but he dismissed the painting in his heart.In his eyes, these so-called modern arts are deceitful. If he had to choose, he would rather choose those ancient paintings.

Hearing what Xu Guanwu said, David Geffen couldn't help being happy, and began to introduce Xu Guanwu's collections eloquently.However, his collection is exactly the modern art that Xu Guanwu loathes, so he chattered eloquently for a long time, and Xu Guanwu only responded a few times lightly.

Seeing that Xu Guanwu was not interested, David Geffen had no choice but to stop showing off.

"David, I brought Teresa here today, mainly to recommend it to you." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "She is also a very famous singer in Asia, why don't you see if she has developed in the United States?" potential."

David Geffen blinked his eyes and looked Deng Lijun carefully up and down.

Deng Lijun felt that his gaze was too aggressive, as if he had seen himself through up and down, and couldn't help but blush for a while.

David Geffen pondered for a while, "Since he is a very famous singer, how about singing a song that he is good at?"

Xu Guanwu smiled and said to Deng Lijun, Deng Lijun nodded, and then sang "Love You Is Hard to Say".Deng Lijun's singing voice is sweet and moving, with a unique style of a little woman.

David Geffen nodded after listening, "It is undeniable that Teresa, your singing skills are very good, but your style is not suitable for North American audiences. Although Xu is my business partner, I am very grateful that he trusts me, Let me take care of the record company. But to be honest, European and American audiences like wild female singers like little wild cats, but sweet and cute types like you are not very popular now. "

Xu Guanwu was stunned for a moment. He wanted to beat up David Geffen. You don't care if she is suitable for her type, as long as she releases records, I'll buy them all and give them away.I really owe K for saying such things now.

However, if it’s annoying, Xu Guanwu still knows that what David Geffen said is somewhat reasonable. Because European and American women develop early, they are also relatively open in terms of sex, and some of them become mothers in their teens.Therefore, for them, "cute" basically describes children under the age of ten.Girls over the age of ten have already learned to dress themselves up maturely and sexy.

Adult singers like Deng Lijun take either the lyrical route or the wild and sexy route. In short, it is a relatively mature route, and the sweet route generally has no way out.Like the most popular Madonna in the 80s, she became famous with the image of a "bad girl", and her style was quite bold. There was a scene of her dancing around a cross in a MV, which aroused criticism from religious groups. Album sales are also on the rise.

Only when Madonna knows how to use her own advantages, and is good at causing controversy and hype, and then greatly increases her popularity, can she make a name for herself in the American circle of fame and fortune.But Deng Lijun's personality is not very strong, and she can't interpret Madonna's sexy, rebellious and wild style at all. If she has to follow Madonna's route, she can only be a tiger instead of an anti-dog.

And Xu Guanwu doesn't want Deng Lijun to take a sexy and rebellious route. If that's the case, I'm afraid that the Asian market will be lost before the US market is established.The loss outweighs the gain.

Deng Lijun couldn't help turning pale after hearing David Geffen's comments. Although she didn't have much hope for development in the United States, she still had some hopes in her heart, but now that someone poured cold water on her head, she still Made her feel very uncomfortable.

Seeing her dim face, Xu Guanwu knew that she was not in a good mood, so he couldn't help but quickly reached out to support her, "Is there really no other way? Think about it, she can't go with the sexy and wild style, but the lyrical one Is the style okay?"

"Uh, to be honest, if you want to take the lyrical route, you must have very good songs, otherwise it will be difficult to compare with those talented singers." David Geffen said again, "Teresa's singing skills Although it's good, it's still slightly behind the top-tier singers."

Xu Guanwu nodded. The physical fitness of European and American singers is stronger than that of Asian singers. One is their physical strength, and the other is their voice.For example, European and American singers can sing and dance at the same time, and the voice will basically not change much.But if an Asian singer dances and sings, a gasp can be heard very quickly.It's not because they don't work hard enough, it's just that their physical fitness is already poor, and there is no way to make up for it the day after tomorrow.

But when it comes to good songs, Xu Guanwu has a lot here, and she can choose whatever she wants. "If there are really good songs, you can help Teresa release an album?" He stared at David Geffen and asked.

David Geffen nodded, "As long as the song passes my review, I can guarantee that I will make her a star."

"Okay, then it's settled." Xu Guanwu smiled, then pulled Deng Lijun up and left, "I'll visit you again another day."

David Geffen froze for a moment, watched Xu Guanwu leave, but secretly wondered what Xu Guanwu meant.

……

Xu Guanwu dragged Deng Lijun out of Mermaid Records and drove back to Malibu Beach.Deng Lijun saw him in a hurry, thought he was still angry about his own affairs, and couldn't help feeling sweet and sad, "Ah Wu, don't be angry, in fact, whether you are developing in the United States or not, to me It's not very important. You calm down, don't be angry."

"Who said I'm angry?" Xu Guanwu said in surprise, "I'm in a hurry to go back to create."

"Ah?! Do you have an idea now?" Deng Lijun asked in surprise.

"Of course, don't you know how powerful I am?" Xu Guanwu smiled triumphantly.

Deng Lijun thought of Xu Guanwu's "I Only Care About You" and "Walking on the Road of Life" written for himself before, which are very beautiful songs, and he can't help but have full confidence in his creative ability.

As soon as Xu Guanwu returned to the villa, he immediately found out the pen and paper, and then wrote it on the paper while remembering and humming softly.Like English classic songs, Xu Guanwu really has a lot of them in his mind. In his previous life, he saved no less than a thousand songs in his mobile phone. Except for the songs from Hong Kong and Taiwan, the rest are English songs.As for the once-popular Divine Comedy saliva song, Xu Guanwu is not sensitive.

The so-called familiarity with three hundred Tang poems means that you can chant without knowing how to compose poems.Xu Guanwu had listened to more than [-] English songs back then, and the melodies of many songs were in his mind, but now he just started, and it immediately stretched like a ball of thread.

"BEUTIFUL DAY", "Under A Violet Moon", "Eyes on me", "right here waiting", "only love", "youre not alone"... the songs that can be remembered by Xu Guanwu, the first is that the melody is more beautiful, The second is that he is relatively well-known, because he listens to songs mostly after listening to people's recommendations, not many songs recommended by him, so he has saved a large number of classic songs over the years.

When Deng Lijun saw Xu Guanwu humming, he quickly wrote something on the paper with a pen, the speed made her dumbfounded.She had seen Liu Jiachang, a famous Taiwanese songwriter, create a song before, and she could write a song in a few minutes, which is already amazing.But now seeing Xu Guanwu's creation is much faster than Liu Jiachang's, it made her feel a little dizzy.

Deng Lijun collected the songs written by Xu Guanwu one by one, and then hummed softly according to the numbered notation. She felt that each song was very beautiful. Although she didn't know some English words, judging from the meaning association of the context, these lyrics It was also written quite well, so she couldn't help nodding frequently.

Xu Guanwu worked hard to copy for an hour. His wrists were sore and his neck was so tired that he was so tired that he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he could hear the sound of ga ba ga ba when he stretched himself.

"Let's stop here this time, Teresa, take a look, are these songs still suitable?" Xu Guanwu asked Deng Lijun with a smile.
