chapter 028

"Your throat and your vocal cords are the best instruments!"

When he said this, Max Martin looked at Martin with amazement, as if looking at the most precious work of art in the world.

"There is no need to use any musical instruments to match at all, but it will destroy the most primitive and pure feeling you show with your voice, how to say a Chinese saying, draw a snake and then draw him full?"

"Draw snakes!" Martin suddenly said a Chinese language.

"What?" Marx did not understand.

"It's the original Chinese text of your sentence just now."

"Wow, Martin, you can also speak Chinese, it's really powerful."

With a heartfelt compliment, Marx continued: "Martin, do you need a break, or are we going to officially record now?" "

"Come now, a total of five songs, all recorded today."

If someone else had said this, Marx would have said that he had no respect for music.

But Martin's performance just now completely conquered him.

This kid's chanting just now for more than five minutes was not flawed at all, and there was no need to rest or correct it at all.

If Martin can keep it that way, one day is enough.

Can Martin keep it that way?

Absolutely!

Although his current vocal cords are not fully developed, and his voice is not yet optimal, but only five pieces of music, his current mana can be fully supported, and there is no need to worry about damaging the vocal cords.

Unbelievably smooth!

Marx even believed that compared to Martin, the Backstreet Boys "didn't understand" music at all.

The five songs were recorded quickly.

Marx suddenly asked: "Martin, do you have a publisher, do you need me to introduce you, I have a good relationship with Universal Records." "

Martin Yuguang saw Aunt Nancy shaking her head slightly, so he said, "This is not urgent, I have to discuss it with my parents." "

"Well, I don't care, I've only worked together with Universal once."

Max Martin's collaboration with Universal stemmed from the production of the Backstreet Boys album.

The Marx-produced Backstreet Boys' self-titled debut album, Backstreet Boys, was a hit in North America and Europa, and the single "WeveGotItGoinOn" reached No. 32 on the American Music Billboard and No. 54 on the English music charts.

Therefore, Universal Records recognized Max Martin's production ability very much and reached the intention of long-term cooperation.

Marx felt that if he recommended Martin to Universal Records, the other party should sell himself a little face.

...

On the way back.

Martin glanced at Gordon, the bodyguard who was concentrating on driving, turned his head and asked: "Aunt Nancy, why don't you promise him, Universal Records has a strong distribution ability, right?" "

In Martin's memory, the future Universal Records seems to have become the world's largest record label, accounting for 25% of the global music market.

Even if Universal Records is not so strong now, it is still a recognized giant in the industry!

Nancy laughed: "Universal is indeed very strong, but they can't invest too much for you as a new person, after all, you are not their person, and Marx's connections are limited." "

"Oh, so Aunt Nancy, do you know any other record labels?" Martin's eyes lit up.

"No, not me, but your father. He has a good relationship with Tommy Motula, president of Columbia Records. "

"This way." Martin smiled, the current Columbia Records distribution ability is no worse than Universal, no, even stronger.

After all, this company has such super celebrities as Michael Jackson and Mariah Carey.

Don't overlook the role of superstars in promoting record labels, just one Michael Jackson is Columbia Records' distribution ability in Europa, surpassing its old rival Universal Records.

Immediately after returning to the hotel, Martin called his father.

Grant on the other end of the phone was shocked: "So you went to London and not only met Ms. Danna, but also became her brother?" "

"Yes, yes, Dad, it's not important, let's talk about the record."

"How is Ms. Daina now, is she still in a low mood, is he still with the antique dealer?"

"Sister Daina is in a good mood, she and the antique dealer have broken up, please, can we get down to business now?"

"Okay, okay, I'll talk to Motula, but I can't guarantee anything."

"Please, Dad, I'm your own son, and you don't want to see my hard-earned money being scammed!"

"Hard-earned money, huh?"

"You laugh at me, I'm going to tell grandpa!"

"Wait, I'll try to fight for your treatment, really, can you just use this trick without moving?"

"Hehe, just use it."

"Martin, you really should have an agent, you can't trouble Aunt Nancy and Dad for everything."

"Okay, Dad, I'll find one when I get back to Los Angeles."

"No need, I've already helped you find it."

Martin: "…"

"Who is it?"

"You'll know when you come back."

...

Three days later, samples of Martin's five pure music songs were recorded.

After Martin auditioned it, he happily let Aunt Nancy take the money.

The two aunts and nephews then flew back to Los Angeles.

At his home in Los Angeles, Martin met his agent, CAA senior partner Jeff Raymond.

"Hello, Martin, it's an honor to serve you."

"Hello, Mr. Raymond."

"Let's call me Jeff, after all, we will work together for a long time in the future, and you can be casual in terms of title."

"Okay Jeff, then, let's get started."

"What?"

"Work."

"Now?"

"That's right." Martin smiled and took out a pile of manuscripts from a small bag: "Jeff, this is a new script I wrote, maybe you can find investment from the film company for it, of course, the leading actor must be me." "

Jeff was amazed at the resulting manuscript, "Can I take a look at it first?" "

"Of course you can!"

Jeff looked down and read, the name of the script was "The Sixth Sense."

Turning the first page, it made Jeff's eyes light up, and this shot was too professionally drawn.

Soon, he was immersed in the story.

Half an hour later, Jeff looked up, and the surprise in his eyes was even stronger.

"Martin, this is a good script, I will find a good buyer for him."

"Protagonist."

"Of course, the protagonist must be yours."

"Oh, by the way, Jeff, my second novel, Random House, is also interested in publishing, and the treatment is also up to you to talk about."

"May I ask how you were treated when Kung Fu Panda was published?"

"10% royalties."

"Wow, 10%? Then this number is the limit of this new book. "

Martin smiled, "You understand me. "

"Martin, in fact, I think your second novel, there is no need to rush to publish, "Kung Fu Panda" is selling better and better now, maybe it is the best time to publish your second novel after the book and movie are heavily publicized in June."

"Huh?" Martin was silent for a moment, then smiled, "Jeff, I like your suggestion, and I put this request with Random House." "

"Don't worry, I will, it's my job to fight for the interests of employers."

Not only is Martin happy with Jeff, Jeff is also happy with Martin.

This little genius has unlimited development potential – and not limited to the film and television industry, maybe he will be his most important customer in the future!
