hollywood entertainment mogul

057 , the queen of music

Sitting on the dimly lit steps next to the dance floor was a girl with a ponytail.

Wearing a T-shirt, baggy overalls, Converse casual shoes, and carrying a guitar case on his back, he looked like a wandering entertainer.

"Why are you sighing? Do they sing badly?"

Duca took two bottles of beer from the table and sat down on the steps.

The girl was stunned for a moment and looked back at him.

"Are you talking to me?"

"Yes, how did they sing?"

Duka opened a bottle of light beer and handed it over, but when he saw the other person's face, he was stunned for a moment. He felt that it was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

"Thank you! They sang pretty well, but they would have sang better if they were more serious."

The girl said while holding a beer.

Duka took a sip from the bottle of beer and stared at the girl's face for a few more times. She had golden brown hair and a fair and beautiful face. She looked like a girl next door. She did look familiar, but what her name was, he couldn't even remember it even to death.

.

"Is that why you sigh?"

"Yes, it is a very rare opportunity to be a resident singer in a Hollywood bar. If they can stick to it and be more serious, they will have a chance to be noticed by people from the record company. I think it is a pity for them to do this."

The girl said softly.

Duka nodded with deep understanding. In addition to making money, being stationed at a bar near Hollywood also has a great benefit. There are many talent scouts and agents here, including those in film and television, models, and

Music company professionals.

They often drink and talk about work here, and occasionally come here to recruit talents.

If you work as a resident singer, waiter, or dancer here, if you have good conditions, you have a high chance of being chosen, which will change your destiny.

There are rumors that if you work in a bar for a year and no one is interested in you, the probability of being noticed later is very small, so it is better to go home and have children early.

Just like himself, he worked in a bar for four months and received business cards from six agents, including film and television agents and models, who persuaded him to go to the sea, but he did not agree.

As for the band that sang in the bar, they had been here for almost a year and had not been selected. Not only did they have a problem with their attitude, but their abilities were also somewhat lacking.

"Miss, you are right. Let me introduce you. My name is Dukaskin. I am the owner of this bar. Can I know your name?"

Duca said.

"Ah, you are the bar owner?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, staring at him and looking up and down.

"What's wrong, don't I look like me?"

"Haha~ No, I'm just a little surprised that I would sit and drink with the bar owner, and my name is Shania Twain, a freelance musician."

The girl stretched out her hand and smiled.

"Shania Twain?"

Dukara held the other person's hand, a little surprised,

"Where are you from?"

"I'm from Toronto, Canada."

Shania Twain said.

Duca thought about this name and slowly made contact with the diva-level female singer.

In the 1990s, there were six famous female singers in the American music scene: Mai, Hui, Zhen, Niu, Xi, and Xian.

The first-ranked diva, Madonna, symbolizes women’s rights and women’s liberation. She is a pop culture totem with a transcendent identity.

And Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, their singing skills are amazing and unmatched;

Janet Jackson is the younger sister of Michael Jackson. She is well-rounded in singing and dancing and is the best dancing female singer.

Celine Dion also has strong singing skills. With the addition of "My Heart Will Go On", she also became a singing superstar.

The remaining immortal is the ‘fairy girl’ Shania Twain in front of me.

Compared to Mai, Hui, Zhen, Niu, and Xi, her singing skills are not the strongest, and her dancing skills are not the best, but she is the most talented female singer among the six, and most of her album songs are original.

She is also the only female singer in the world to have three consecutive "diamond albums". Diamond albums refer to records that have sold more than 10 million copies in the United States.

There are a total of 9 albums with double diamond sales in the history of the United States. Among them, the only female album and the only country album belongs to this fairy.

She is also a representative figure among country music singers in the world. She is the singer with the highest sales of country albums in the history of the world, and she was also the one whom Taylor Swift imitated in the early stages of her debut.

Also, this person’s background is absolutely grassroots. Her parents divorced when she was young. Later, her mother and stepfather died in a car accident. She worked everywhere to earn money to support her three young siblings. She worked as a McDonald’s odd-time worker, a bartender, and a resident singer.

Her talent in music was mainly self-taught. She did not go to a professional music school, nor did she hire a music teacher to teach her. She learned from the radio when she was a few years old, or secretly learned singing from others, and finally became a music queen.

This kind of experience can be called the representative of the American dream.

"Shania, can you sing?"

Duka let go and asked.

"Know a little!"

"How about going up and singing a song?"

Duca pointed to the stage and said.

Shania Twain looked at the stage, then at him, clenched her fists and stood up, her face flushed with excitement.

"good!"

After more than a minute, when the "Two Beach Band" on the stage finished singing a song, Shania Twain walked onto the stage carrying a guitar, and Duka called Michael and asked him to come on stage to announce the curtain.

Michael liked to do this kind of thing very much. He walked to the stage and said loudly in an operatic voice, "Next, we invite Ms. Shania Twain, a female singer from Toronto..."

Hearing the announcement on the stage, one or two hundred guests in the bar turned their heads and looked towards the stage.

Shania Twain sat on a chair, hugged her guitar, adjusted her breathing, and started playing and singing into the microphone.

Hey you sittin in the er

t ya hear the jukebox playin

Everybodys up doiep

A even tappin your toe

This is a new song that Duca has never heard of. The lyrics are relatively long, like long essays or jokes, sung with music. This is the style of country music.

American country music emerged in the southern United States, its roots come from British folk songs, and is the representative of white American national music.

It is obviously different from black jazz, rhythm and blues, and HIP-HOP, and it is also obviously different from rock and heavy metal rock with intense rhythm.

Country music is characterized by simple tunes, steady rhythm, and narrative, with the singer accompanied by simple instruments such as guitar, harmonica, and violin.

By telling stories while playing, the performance has a strong country flavor, which sounds more friendly and easy to become popular. It has a broad market in the local areas of the United States, which is also the key to the long-lasting prosperity of country music.

From John Denver, Olivia Newton, to Shania Twain, to Carrie Underwood, Swift, there are a lot of talents in the country music scene.

Shania's voice is fresh and soothing, like a beautiful woman telling a story, which is very comfortable to listen to and very personal.

Bang bang bang~

When Shania Twain finished singing, there was a burst of lively applause in the bar. It was not so sensational, but everyone also expressed their love and support for the singer with applause.

When Duca passed by, he heard someone say that this singer was much better than the "two-person beach band".

"Xenia, how about we chat."

Duka said to the girl walking off the stage.

"Okay, Mr. Jin."

When they went to the office on the second floor, Duca brought her a bottle of water and invited her to sit on the sofa.

"Shania, are you an official singer?"

"No, I submitted recording demos to many record companies, but unfortunately I didn't get any response. This time I was recommended to come to a Los Angeles recording studio for an audition, but I didn't get it either."

Shania shrugged her shoulders, her voice a little disappointed, but there was also a kind of resilience that refused to admit defeat and a calmness after failure.

"Is that your new song just now?"

"Yes! It's called "I Will Make You Fall in Love with Me"

"It sounds great. I like it very much. What I want to ask is, would you be interested in being a resident singer in a bar?"

Shania Twain blinked in surprise,

"Mr. Jin, I can see that the customers in the bar don't like my song very much."

"Haha, it doesn't matter. It's enough that I like your song. If you want, you can go to work today and sing for forty minutes to an hour a day. How about a performance fee of US$100 per day?"

"Mr. Jin, are you serious?"

Shania Twain asked excitedly in her voice while holding the water bottle.

"Do I look like a casual joker?"

Duka spread his hands and smiled.

"Thank you Mr. Jin, I do, thank you Mr. Jin!"

Shania covered her mouth and smiled.

"You're welcome, call me Duka."

Duka smiled and called Miss Jasmine to offer Shania an acting contract.

There is also an entertainment contract for performing in bars, which is similar to that of a brokerage company. The contract period is half a year. After half a year, he hopes to have money to help the other party release an album to see if he can make money.
