Hollywood Secret Garden

The recording of the new album is progressing very quickly. One reason is that the record company has made preparations early, and all the hardware and software facilities are in place. As long as Angela wants to, she can start at any time - after all, the most popular singer under the label It has been two years since an album was released, if not for another popular group, the CEO might have changed.

Secondly, Angela is also in pretty good shape. She also knows that after signing three albums, it is unreasonable not to release the last one, so she started writing songs at the end of last year.And if I have time, I will try to sing a few lines in private to maintain a good state, so the progress is so smooth.

It's just because Peter promised to write the theme song for "The Lord of the Rings", and there are still three songs, and he also serves as the producer of Avril Lavigne and Lindsay, plus there are so many things-movies, casting, Cannes, etc. ——So in the end, there are only eight songs that are completely original.And the rest, a cover song from Ronan Keating's "When You Say Nothing At All", many people have sung it, and what's interesting is that "Notting Hill", which she interfered with, still uses this song as the theme song; One is the French song "encore une fois" dug out from memory.

It was really frustrating for Angela, but why did she always have so many other things to do?Well, if you copy it like this, just copy it, anyway, this kind of thing has been done countless times.While Burns was slightly surprised that she wanted to add a French song, he didn't object, and joked that she was "finally starting to cover again".In short, it is absolutely possible to complete the recording of the new album in about half a month. Oh, this time may be longer, because I said before——

"Very good, great singing." Angela gave Avril a thumbs up to Avril in front of the microphone, "Especially the line 'Rolling and screaming in the clouds', full of explosive power and very tasteful singing!"

"Thank you, that's because your song 'Roller Coaster' is really to my liking!" Avril Lavigne, who took the assistant's glass of water and moistened her throat, said with a smile, "The huge ups and downs of the rhythm allow me to give full play to my advantages Played out."

"Although it's very energetic, it sounds like it's showing off." Lindsay next to Angela said with some taste at this moment.

Angela couldn't help but glanced at the girl and then at Avril Lavigne, and then both of them burst out laughing, even the two assistants who were about to go out also snickered.Lindsay, who put down the earphones, suddenly became angry. She bulged her eyes and stared at Angela as if she wanted to "kill" her with her eyes, but what she got in return was a mischievous kneading from the other party.

"The little guy is jealous." Angela said in an insightful tone.

"I'm not jealous!" Lindsay's face was flushed, and she jumped up as if she had been pricked by a needle.It's a pity that she was immediately hugged by Angela and dragged into her arms. She couldn't struggle even with her hands and feet, so she continued to protest in her arms: "I'm just expressing my feelings. What kind of jealousy is this?"

"Of course, of course, it's really not jealousy if you understand it literally, but..." Angela ravaged her head with a smile, "First, this kind of ostentatious singing is originally Weiwei's established style; second Second, your tone is too obvious, otherwise why Walcott and Carrington laughed when they went out."

"Damn it, you'll laugh at me!" Lindsay finally struggled out of Angela's arms, and after grunting heavily to her and Avril Lavigne, she sat aside and turned her head to look at the wall, holding her face sullenly .

"Okay, Lindsay, your route is not the same as mine, what is there to compare? The two pop and country songs you sang are also very good." Avril said comfortingly, "Angie Ra thinks so too."

Lindsay, who had her back to them, couldn't help but turned her head to take a look, and when she saw Angela and Avril Lavigne still looking at her with a smile, she hurried to look at the wall.After a long while, he turned his head around again, and asked in a low voice, "Really?"

"Don't be childish, Lindsay, didn't you record well?" Angela shook her head with a smile, and pulled Lindsay into her arms again.Well, it feels good in the hand, and the little guy has already started to be bumpy.She thought maliciously.

But Lindsay still pouted and still looked sullen, Angela couldn't help but rolled her eyes: "Know where your focus is, Lindsay. Unless you give up the chance to appear on the big screen and become a singer, otherwise You are definitely not as good as Wei Wei in music. And even if you do this, you still can’t compare to her without a few years of training. You must know that Wei Wei has spontaneously worked hard in the direction of music since she was four years old. There’s definitely something unique to rock and roll.”

Seeing what the little girl wanted to say, Angela immediately raised her fingers and shook her: "Don't move me out, I also practiced various musical instruments since I was four years old, at least 4 to 6 hours a day, Until I was ten years old. Although I have less time to practice now, I never stop."

Speaking of this, she rubbed Lindsay's head: "You just have to do your best. It doesn't matter if it's not perfect, flawed or even failed, understand?"

"Understood," Lindsay sighed, "Then I'll work hard on pop music, right?"

"Well, I was wondering if I could also try other types of music," Avril rubbed her chin and said suddenly, "like POP or something."

"Don't be so greedy, you'd better do your own rock music first." Lindsay waved her fist with a sense of crisis, "Don't tell me, you will enter the big screen after you have achieved something in music! "

"Of course not, but it's not a bad thing to try other types of music, right..." Avril replied with a smile, "Everyone who really likes music will do so."

Lindsay raised her right eyebrow and looked at Avril carefully, then looked at the time, coughed lightly, got up and walked to the door: "It's time for a break, I'm going back to continue practicing, see you later."

"Keep in good shape, I will come over to record "theclimb" for you at any time, tell them don't worry, I promise this song will be very good." Angela said with a smile, "Also, I'm sorry that I can't visit your class on the set during the summer vacation , I hope you enjoy your next few weeks in Tennessee."

"Good Girl is a Big Star" will be launched in Tennessee in early July. The main reason for choosing this time is that several theme songs of the movie need to be recorded first, and Angela has already stated that she will make "theclimb" for Lindsay herself, but She was so busy flying around that she had no free time, and she dragged on until now.

This is not without benefits. Disney took this opportunity to arrange for Lindsay to receive formal vocal training for half a year. The little girl also wanted to perform better in front of Angela, and improved a lot during this time.

The downside is that the original plan to return from New Zealand to visit the set was shelved, and "A Beautiful Mind" will also be launched in Massachusetts soon.That's why Angela said sorry to Lindsay.

Although Lindsay knew that there was no way out, she felt a little bit depressed. In addition, she was "severely hit" before, made a face at the two of them, and left the recording studio without saying a word.

"Good cooperation, Vivi!" Angela gave Avril a thumbs up after the little girl went out.

Avril shrugged in confusion: "Lindsay just wanted to hear you praise her, and I was there when recording "ButterflyFlyAway". At least from her point of view, she did a very good job, so why are you so stingy? What about compliments? Worried that the recording of "theclimb" will not go well?"

"Of course not, she did a great job recording "ButterflyFlyAway", and "theclimb" is no exception." Angela shook her head.Although this version of "theclimb" "created" by her and Lindsay is very close to the original version, it matches Lindsay's voice very well. As long as the little girl plays well, it is absolutely possible to be a bit higher than the original version, but——

"ButterflyFlyAway" is another song that was preserved from the original movie, and like "theclimb", Angela only gave Lindsay half of the song and half of the lyrics, and then she figured out how to add it.

Although "Butterfly Fly Away" from Lindsay's hands is not as close to the original version as "theclimb", it has a different flavor. The gratitude to the father's love touched several producers deeply.However, Angela, who was familiar with her, knew that rather than being grateful for her father's love, she was more eager for this kind of father's love.It can be imagined that when Lindsay supplemented this song, she invented a father for herself, and gave this imaginary character the fatherly love she craved.

I hope that the script I prepared for her can somewhat make up for her inner hesitation.Angela looked at the ceiling in a daze, and spoke again after a while: "Actually, what I'm worried about is not her ability, but... Wei Wei, Jessie should have told you about Lindsay's family situation, yes ?"

Avril folded her arms and thought about it carefully: "Jessie said her parents... don't seem to be doing well."

"This evaluation is not bad." Angela waved her hand, "If I want to say... Forget it, let's not talk about this topic. In short, Lindsay's current situation is very delicate, so I can't praise her too much. Her irresponsible promotion to the clouds will only harm her; at the same time, it cannot dampen her confidence, and let her understand that it is best to show her most glorious side."

"Having a good sister is really a happy thing, and I can't help being a little jealous of Lindsay." Avril lavigne exaggeratedly sighed, and asked with interest after rolling her eyes: "But you boasted about me But spare no effort, why is that?"

"Because you are different." Angela curled her lips, and spread her hands when she saw that Avril was still inquiring: "Although you also desire to be the focus, be noticed and praised, but you can also face these things calmly .”

"Wow, how did you come to this conclusion?" Avril raised her eyebrows and stared at Angela with interest, as if you didn't make it clear that I would never end with you.

"Okay, I've already praised you, so I can't keep praising you?" How could Angela not know what she was thinking, and couldn't help but look at her amusedly, "Maybe I will hit you next."

"Come on, you said that I can calmly face other people's compliments, can't I just say a few more words?" Avril Lavigne pulled the chair over, sat down with her hands on her face, and pretended to be cute like Lindsay before .

"It's impossible to praise you unrestrainedly, or are you planning to use this method to surpass me?" Angela flicked her forehead lightly, "I can understand you very well, Weiwei, or hurry up Let me start recording honestly."

"Huh, Angie is so boring." Avril covered her forehead and made a face at Angela.Seeing that the other party ignored her and started to record again, she reluctantly stood up, and exaggeratedly rolled her arms a few times: "Isn't it just recording, how could it stump me, a super invincible girl..."

Before she finished speaking, there was a crisp sound on her buttocks, and Avril Lavigne screamed and jumped up, turning her head and "glaring" at the instigator.It's a pity that Angela spent all her time adjusting the equipment, as if the previous incident had nothing to do with her.

"Can't I be complacent?" Avril could only hum and settle down.

"So you think you are ready to take over the baton of C&B?" Angela looked up at Avril with interest.The record company's arrangement is that the C&B group will hold a national tour in early July. Avril Lavigne will release a new album with Yu Wen one and a half months later, and Angela will escort them at the end of September.

"Of course, I have that confidence!" Avril Lavigne proudly raised her chest.

Angela stared at her for a long time, then sighed softly and put away her smile: "Vivi, it's good to have self-confidence, but if self-confidence turns into arrogance, it will be very bad."

Avril tilted her head and looked at Angela carefully, and put away her smile after confirming something: "I understand, Angie, don't worry, you just said that I can calmly face applause and praise, didn't you?"

She walked up to Angela and patted her on the shoulder: "I understand the difference between self-confidence and arrogance, and I have enough self-confidence. Don't forget, you are the goal I want to surpass. If you don't have enough strength and How can you be confident? And, don’t forget that you encouraged me and you recommended me, or you don’t have confidence in yourself?”

Angela blinked in surprise, but was more relieved: "Okay, then show everyone your strength and confidence when the time comes, Little Rock Witch."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hands and squeezed Avril's face affectionately, and Avril, not to be outdone, flicked on Angela's forehead to show her previous counterattack, and then both of them laughed softly.

"Okay, let's continue now. I've finished making for you and Lindsay and myself." Angela waved her hand, and then raised her fist in front of Avril Lavigne: "Come on, work hard to surpass me."

"Work hard to surpass you!" Avril stretched out her fist and touched her, and pressed her thumbs together hard before they separated.When she came to the microphone with a smile and was about to put on the earphones, Angela's roar rang out: "These two guys, Walcott and Carrington, want me to finish all the work before I plan to come back?!"

With the recording of "Roller Coaster" specially written by Angela for Avril Lavigne, Vivi's album has basically taken shape, and the rest is just setting makeup, shooting posters and publicity previews.Watching Avril Lavigne gradually become the punk girl in memory under the makeup artist's pen, the feeling is really wonderful.

Vivi also likes her own style very much.

"Not only does it not look decadent, but it looks energetic. I like this look." Avril Lavigne, wearing black jeans, a short-sleeved T-shirt, and red and white canvas shoes with smoky eye makeup, once walked in front of Angela so ostentatiously Those who walked showed their "coolness".Angela's reaction to this was to shrug her shoulders without saying a word.

Lindsay's singles also went well, with "theclimb" working as expected.Angela praised the little girl appropriately, which made Lindsay very happy, and she also looked forward to the upcoming film industry.

After finishing their production, Angela returned to her own album, and at the same time declined the invitation to be a guest singer at C&B's concert.By the way, Britney and Christina started flirting again after that morning at the villa, which resulted in Avril Lavigne asking Angela again if they were a couple.Angela couldn't help but want to sigh while perfunctory, these two guys probably won't germinate again in the future.

In addition to recording her new album, Angela has a lot to do in Los Angeles.For example, go on a talk show or two, and give a detailed explanation for my reverse performance in "Lord of the Rings" and what I said in Cannes.While she's already blogged about it, it's certainly not as effective as telling it on TV.

"I love Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings novels, that's why I dress up as Legolas for Halloween. Of course, the movie set photo is definitely different from this screenshot, I made myself too exaggerated. "After the host took out the picture taken from the NBC news, Angela said with a smile.

At the same time, she did not forget to say a few good words for Peter: "Peter is an excellent director. He has his own unique ideas and rich imagination. When the movie is released, it will definitely surprise people. However, I hope he does not would hate me because I'm constantly taking time off as a lead actor."

When talking about the media controversy caused by the Cannes remarks, Angela did not say much, but repeated the words written on the blog again: "My words are only aimed at von Trier. I don't like him. As for the following The meaning of that sentence is very simple. If you want to occupy the market, you must consider the tone of the audience. You can’t complain that people don’t like it after you make a movie that people can’t understand. This is not in line with the market law.”

The reason for this is that Angela didn't want to add fuel to the flames. Although the media on both sides of the Atlantic had some tit-for-tat flavors before, they were basically very restrained.This is due to the restraint of the European media, and their restraint is because von Trier's earliest speech already has the taste of questioning the Palme d'Or.

So she didn't want the situation to escalate. For celebrities, it's best not to use things like "map guns".
