"You asked me to write songs for the singers in your studio?" Xiao Yao confirmed with a smile, "are you serious? Are you kidding me? "
"Seriously, of course." Keith Craig said, "if you can write songs for daydreams and immortals, why can''t I ask you to write songs for the new singers in our studio? Our studio signed a young female singer whose style is different from our band. I haven''t written any songs suitable for her now. And your music style is very diverse, and your age is about the same as her. I believe you should be able to write songs suitable for her
"Well, I''ll try." Xiao Yao nodded and said, "but I can''t guarantee that I can write a song suitable for her. I think I''ll at least see her first and listen to her voice. "
"No problem," Keith Craig nodded. "Would you like to call her over now? She lives in downtown Los Angeles. I''ll call her now. She should be able to arrive in an hour
"Come to your house now? Of course not. " Xiao Yao waved his hand and said, "we come to your house as guests, not to work. Isn''t your studio in downtown Los Angeles? Since she lives in downtown Los Angeles, we''re going to Los Angeles in the afternoon. Let''s just meet in the studio. "
"OK, I''ll tell her to meet in the studio this afternoon." Keith Craig takes out the phone.
"Yes, young." Keith Craig called and asked Xiao Yao, "is that song you just sang for Ellie? What is your name? Can you sing it again from the beginning? "
"Yes," Xiao Yao said with a smile. "To be exact, it''s for children of her age. The song is called" never grow up. "
"Don''t grow up? It does sound like it''s for children. " Betty Bailette said with a smile. She turned her head and asked Ye Jiaying next to him, "Yang, do you want to get married and have children, or do you want you to add a younger brother and sister to him?"
"None." Xiao Yao interjected, "in fact, it''s a song more suitable for girls to sing. It''s written from a girl''s perspective, and it doesn''t completely represent my idea. I also wrote a Chinese song called "baby". The lyrics sound like parents wrote it for their children, and I have no children
"I don''t know. He has never expressed this idea to us." Ye Jiaying still shook her head and replied to Betty bellette, "but he seems to really like children and get along well with them. In China, he took a 13-year-old girl as a student. He told the girl not to call him a teacher, but his brother. "
"I''d better sing this song again." Xiao Yao said, "in fact, this song is more suitable for accompaniment with wooden guitar, but Ellie said that Keith''s piano room does not have wooden guitar, only gave me an electric guitar, so I used electric guitar to accompany." With that, Xiao Yao plucked the strings of his electric guitar and began to sing.
The song "never grow up" sung by Xiao Yao is the song of "Meimei" Taylor Swift, and "Meimei" once said, "whenever I look down at those seven or eight year old girls, I wish I could tell her what I know." "So I wrote this song for the little girls." So, this song is actually a big girl''s feeling about "growing up". Xiao Yao thought of this song when she heard Alicia Craig say that she wanted to grow up faster in the piano room just now.
Although Xiao Yao said that this is a song more suitable for girls to sing, more suitable for the accompaniment of the wooden guitar, but after all, there are many moving places in the lyrics. The song accompanied by the electric guitar still moved the people on the scene.
At the end of the song, both Betty and Ye Jiaying, who are mothers, have some feelings, especially Betty, who has a daughter. Through this song, she imagines that her daughter will leave her when she grows up, and her eyes are red. As fathers, Keith Craig and shawski also have some feelings, but as professional musicians, they still pay more attention to the musicality of the song.
Keith Craig nodded and said to himself, "it''s more suitable for girls. Maybe liv can try this song. It''s a pity liv can''t play guitar. The effect may be a little worse in live performance. Maybe I can teach her to play guitar now? "
"You mean, my mission is done?" Xiao Yao, with sharp ears, heard Keith Craig''s self talk and asked with a smile.
"Will you sell me this song?" Keith Craig asked.
"Of course." Xiao Yao said, "this song suitable for female singing was originally not written for me. It''s also an English song. It''s no problem to sell it to you. I believe in your professional judgment. If you think that female singer is suitable for singing this song, it should be suitable. "
"Thank you for trusting me." Keith Craig said with a smile, "do you still need to meet liv?"
"I''d better see you. Anyway, I''m free this afternoon. Maybe there are other possibilities for cooperation." Xiao Yaodao.
"OK," said Keith Craig happily, "and I hope you and she can have more cooperation."Now Xiao Yao is very popular in the American media. Keith Craig asked Xiao Yao to invite him to sing. In addition to recognizing his ability to write songs, it''s not that he didn''t mean to take advantage of Xiao Yao''s enthusiasm to lead the new man in the studio. If Xiao Yao can have more cooperation with the new person he likes, he will naturally be eager for it.
Alicia Craig has been pestering Xiao Yao to play with her for half an hour, and her excitement has subsided a lot. They left the piano room and went back to the living room downstairs.
After a big lunch at Craig''s home at noon, we set off for Los Angeles. From Los Angeles to Calabasas, Xiao Yao and his party were just one car and five people. When they returned to Los Angeles, they were three cars and more than ten people. The number of the team almost doubled.
Today is still the weekend. The four members of "immortals" band are not in a hurry to go to school. Knowing that Xiao Yao is going to the recording studio, they naturally want to go with him. Betty Bailette and Ye Jiaying, two beautiful women who are not music professionals, have gone into the studio to watch their husband and children''s recordings many times, and they have lost their freshness. The more than ten people all ran to the recording studio, which would be a bit crowded, so they didn''t go with them to join in the fun.
After arriving in Los Angeles in the afternoon, the party first went to the hotel and asked Xiao Yao and others to put their luggage in their room. After settling down, Betty Bailette enthusiastically took Ye Jiaying to go shopping, while the rest went to the studio of "daydream".
In the studio of "daydream", Xiao Yao also met the new female singer of "daydream" studio. The singer, Liv Palmer, is a white woman with black hair. She is twenty-two years old, not much different from Xiao Yao. Since she was a teenager, she has continued to upload videos of her cover songs by famous singers on video websites. Last year, it was noticed by netizens because of a video covering the single of American pop diva champion, which made it famous on the Internet. After graduating from university this year, she moved to Los Angeles to fulfill her dream of being a singer and star. She also made several cover videos on the Internet one after another, gaining more popularity on the Internet.
Then she took part in the American version of the voice, and Keith Craig won her own team as a program instructor in the blind selection stage. Although she was only in the last eight in that season and was eliminated in the eighth to fourth stage, her voice impressed Keith Craig deeply. Before the end of this season, Keith Craig signed her into his band''s studio.
Xiao Yao has written songs for both "daydream" and "improtals". As a contract artist of "daydream" studio, liv palemer is familiar with Yang Sean''s music works and the achievements of those works. Recently, she has also paid attention to the news about Xiao Yao. Liv palemer was also very happy and excited to see that boss Keith Craig actually asked this hot young Chinese musician in the media to write songs for herself.
Liv Palermo is only about 1.6 meters tall. She is very petite in Europe and America, with a little baby voice in her voice. In terms of image and sound, Liv Palermo is far away from "Meimei" in previous lives. But Xiao Yao thinks that her song "never grow up" is no problem. Even because of her image and voice, singing "don''t grow up" will give people a special harmonious and interesting feeling.
Xiao Yao watched some of liv Palmer''s singing videos, chatted with her for a while, and finally put on headphones to listen to her enter the recording room. After singing a few live segments, Keith Craig asked Xiao Yao with a smile: "how do you feel?"
"Good. There''s nothing wrong with the sound quality and singing skills." Xiao Yao took off the earphone, nodded with a smile, "and a girl who doesn''t seem to grow up, singing" don''t grow up ", should feel very interesting."
"Don''t grow up?" Liv Palmer, who comes out of the recording room and pushes the door into the control room, hears Xiao Yao''s words and looks at them strangely.
"Yang wrote a song called" nevergrowup "and has decided to sell the copyright to me, and I decided to teach you to sing this song." Keith Craig explained with a smile.
"Really? Has the song been written? " Liv Palmer said cheerfully, "Yang, thank you!"
Keith Craig just said on the phone that she would ask Xiao Yao to help her write her songs, but he didn''t say when it would be ready. It is inevitable that there will be some variables, and my heart is also a little uneasy. Now that the song has been written and even the copyright has been bought, Liv Palmer is naturally jubilant.
"Just suitable for nevergrowup?" Keith Craig looked at Xiao Yao with a smile and said, "don''t you have any other ideas?"
"Other ideas?" Liv palemer looks at them curiously again.
"There are really other ideas." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "but this time I want you to lend her to me!"
"Lend it to you?" This time, Keith Craig and liv palemer look at Xiao Yao strangely.
"What do you want to do?" Keith Craig asked Shaw."Cooperation, of course!" Xiao Yao said, "I have another song for her to sing."
"Another song? Really? " Keith Craig and liv Palmer are happy together.
"Don''t be happy too soon." Xiao Yao waved his hand and said, "that song is mainly me. The copyright of the song will not be sold to you, and the issue will not be handed over to you."
"Chorus song, you two chorus?" Keith Craig guessed.
"No!" Xiao Yao shook his head. "She is responsible for the singing part alone."
"How can her solo songs be dominated by you?" Keith Craig said strangely.
"It''s an electronic song." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I''m going to be included in the electronic music album that I don''t know when I will finish in the future."
"I see," said liv Palmer. "Is it faded or sing me to sleep? In those two songs, it''s true that more people know you as a DJ than the female singer who is responsible for singing
"Yes, and it''s the same style as those two songs." Xiao Yao nodded and said, "so, although that song will have the name of liv, it can''t be given to you to publicize liv''s works."
"I see. No problem." Keith Craig thought about it, nodded and agreed.
What Xiao Yao promised Keith Craig is to write a song for the new singer in his studio, and "never grow up" has already fulfilled his promise. The last song is extra. Although it''s a pity that it can''t be promoted as liv palemer''s works, at least liv''s name will appear on the singer of the song, which will be good for her popularity.
"By the way, can you make MV for this song?" Keith Craig then asked, "if you''re shooting in America, I think I can help you." Most of Xiao Yao''s song will be recorded in their studio, but it doesn''t have to be filmed in the United States to shoot MV.
Keith Craig saw the MV of those two electronic songs. Although most of the main characters in the MV are hooded and masked, there are female singers in the string version of faded. If Xiao Yao wants to shoot a new electronic music song MV in the United States, and there are heroines in it, most of them will still find the original female singer to play, so liv palemer will have a chance to show her face in the MV. If it is back to China to shoot, it is estimated that he will not be so troublesome to ask liv Palmer to shoot MV in China.
Xiao Yao in front of the two audio songs and MV are very popular, this song and this MV is estimated to be no difference. If liv Palmer can show her face in the MV, it will also help to improve her popularity. So Keith Craig wanted to get Xiao Yao to shoot the MV of this song in the United States, which was better for liv Palmer.
"Of course," Xiao Yao said, "the MV of this song and the MV of the first two songs are also related in content, but the MV of this song will be more complicated and troublesome than that of the first two songs."
Speaking of this, Xiao Yao moved in his heart, looked up at Keith Craig and said, "I decided to shoot the MV of this song in the United States. At that time, I will have to trouble you!"
"Anything you need, as long as I can do it." Keith Craig said immediately.
"By the way, what''s the name of this song?" Liv Palmer asked.
"Alone!" said Xiao Yao.
"What? Don''t you have a Korean song called "alone" Xiao Siqi frowned and asked, "can''t it be the English version of that song? I thought you wrote a new English song
"Of course, it''s not the English version of that Korean song," Xiao Yao shook his head. "Although that Korean song is also a live song, it''s obviously not the same style as faded and singme to sleep. Moreover, I''ve sold the copyright of that song for a long time. I''m sure I won''t put the song sold into my album. It''s another song, but it''s also called "alone."
