Superstars start from HK Entertainment

Chapter 614 The Top 100 Classic Songs in the World in 1994

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

After Columbia Records was acquired by Sony, it became an independent company, and its previous branches in various locations remained the same.

And Mariah Carey is affiliated with Columbia Records, she is not affiliated with Sony.

Therefore, the company responsible for promoting her Japanese records is also Columbia Records.

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

"Hey, I'm really sorry. I was busy very late last night. You probably didn't wait too long, right?"

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

"It's okay, I just arrived."

He Jin had no intention of blaming him for this.

He Jin said modestly.

"Last week, there was a program in the United States that ranked the world's top 100 classic songs in 1994, and you were shortlisted for six.

The two of them double marked for a while, and they had already arrived at Columbia's recording studio.

Seeing this, He Jin started recording for the second time.

Behind every superstar stands a group of behind-the-scenes staff who are meticulous about their work. It is these people who create the superstar status of these superstars.

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

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

The foreign sound engineer was very serious and criticized He Jin without mercy.

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

Mariah Carey said on the way.

Because of this seriousness in his work, He Jin has already given him two salary increases.

Sometimes I think about how great it would be if I didn’t become a singer!”

"thanks, thanks!"

The sound engineer also went with them, but this guy was too boring. If you asked him something, he would reply. After chatting with him for a few words, he stopped talking to him and started talking to Mariah Carey about singing.

Techniques, music composition, etc.

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

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

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

To be honest, he likes such serious people very much.

It would not hurt him to befriend Mariah Carey.

"Hey! Die Duobu, He, please speak more clearly. Although your vague English is cool, the audience can't understand what you mean. No matter how good the song is, your song is a waste song."

A few people did not continue recording, but had dinner first.

Although the work in the afternoon took a long time, it went smoothly. At 6 p.m., the song "We Can't Stop" was finally completed.

He Jin's arrangement of the song "We Can't Stop" has already been produced in Hong Kong, so it only needs to be recorded today.

A few people were chatting while eating.

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

"Thanks!"

The foreign sound engineer spoke calmly.

Mariah Carey said, unable to help showing a proud expression, as if He Jin's song was a great honor.

The foreigner didn't like to talk much. After nodding to the two of them, he began to fiddle with the machine on his own.

He Jin speaks English very well, but after all, he is not an out-and-out foreigner. If he wants to achieve the best level every time he records, he needs to put in more effort.

Maybe it’s because the foreigner speaks English, so today He Jin encountered the most slaps in his history!

Either the pronunciation is not clear, the breath is wrong, or there is a problem with the rhythm.

Over and over again, and finally when his mouth was dry, he had finished recording all the lyrics in the first part of the song.

Red wine and sweaty bodies everywhere

We raise our hands and wave to the music

We are wild

Don't young people just want to have some fun?

…

The main reason is still language problem.

People are like iron, and food is like steel. No matter how busy you are, you must eat the food.

Now I’m the first American besides Michael Jackson to get your song!”

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

So the few of them didn't go too far to eat, so they found a nearby restaurant to have something to eat.

The reason for this is not because her singing skills are better than He Jin's.

When Mariah Carey's part of the recording was completed, the time had already reached 12:30 noon.

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

There’s still jet lag…”

He Jin sang and recorded first. The first time he sang only two lines because his voice had not yet opened up, so the foreign recording engineer stopped him.

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

"Thanks for your hard work!"

"Thank you! I know, I will improve it immediately!"

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

"This..." Mariah Carey was a little caught off guard by what she said. After thinking about it, she nodded: "Okay, if you don't mind, I can write a song for you."

After the foreign sound engineer deleted the previous recording, he signaled to He Jin that he could continue.

"This is the nature of our work, and it was the same when I released the album. I had to fly to various places and attend various events every day.

Mariah Carey is different. She is an authentic old American. She grew up reading novels in English. Speaking is no problem for her. She only needs to control the rhythm, remember the lyrics and melody, and pay attention to it when singing.

Just emotions.

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

He Jin was a little confused and looked at the foreign sound engineer.

"Remember, I need you to open your voice and speak your lyrics clearly!"

Just like Xiangjiang likes to create top ten celebrities and top ten goddesses, Americans also like to create these rankings.

When they arrived at the restaurant, a few people found a private room and ordered food.

He is a busy man himself and often works late at night, so he understands the other party very well.

After receiving He Jin's response, Mariah Carey couldn't help but express her gratitude to him in broken Chinese.

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

Halfway through eating, Mariah Carey suddenly said:

"He, can I invite you to sing?"

Usually when He Jin records a song, if there is any flaw, he will point it out mercilessly.

Otherwise, if the arrangement work has not been completed, the recording will not be completed in three days, let alone one day.

Compared to He Jin, Mariah Carey's recording was much smoother. She finished recording in just half an hour.

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

So far, among the real big-name European and American singers, he only knows Michael Jackson and the British singer Seal.

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

He Jin was not dissatisfied just because he was criticized.

He Jin said.

He Jin nodded, took the coffee, and while drinking, he walked over to the foreigner to watch Mariah Carey's recording.

Mariah Carey was very familiar with her and started to complain to He Jin.

The meal lasted an hour. After the meal, the group immediately rushed back to Colombia to continue recording.

"OK, I understand! Thank you very much for writing a song for me!

You don’t know that there are so many singers in the United States now who want to write songs for you!

"Thank you. Actually, it's not as good as you said. I just practice regularly and have some talent for languages."

He Jin and the two of them stopped chatting and started recording songs.

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

He Jin has also seen recording engineers who are as strict as A Kun. The last time he recorded "Song of the Earth" with Michael Jackson in the United States, Michael Jackson's recording engineer was also very strict.

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

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

He also needs to support Maria Kay at a promotional event tomorrow morning, so he needs to be energetic tonight.

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

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

Therefore, this can be regarded as helping himself.
