Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Chapter 3146 3148 [The Libertine]

Once the songs are selected, the recording of the album starts immediately.

He plans to record eleven songs in the UK, and then go to the US to collaborate with Mariah Carey on "we belong together".

After watching this song, Mariah Carey expressed her satisfaction and looked forward to Xiang Nan going to the United States to start cooperation soon.

While Xiang Nan was recording the album, he received an unexpected call.

It turned out that Rosamund Pike, who had previously co-produced the MV, called and asked him if he was interested in auditioning for the movie "The Prodigal Son".

This film is a historical film co-produced by Britain and Australia. It tells the life of Earl Rochester, an Oxford prodigy who lived in the rotten seventeenth century British Bourbon dynasty. He is notorious and absurd.

The lead role in the movie has been set to be played by Johnny Depp, with Rosamund playing the second supporting actress.

After she passed the audition, she learned that there was still a lack of an actor to play the friend of the Earl of Rochester.

She thought Xiang Nan's acting skills were good and his reputation was enough, so she recommended Xiang Nan to the director.

Xiang Nan was surprised to receive this call.

Because he only cooperated with Rosamund once, which was to shoot the MV of "cry me a river". During the filming of the MV, he was always courteous, never flirting, not flirting, so there was no romantic spark.

And after the filming ended, he didn't contact Rosamund again, so he never expected that she would actually call him, which made him flattered for a while.

"Okay, thank you, Rosa, I will go." Xiang Nan smiled.

Although he is very busy recording the album now, in order to live up to Rosamund's good intentions, Xiang Nan still decided to audition for "The Prodigal Son".

...

Xiang Nan then went to the crew of "The Prodigal Son" and had an audition for his role.

That is a supporting role such as male third, male fourth, etc., and there are not many roles.

After the trial, Xiang Nan went back directly, and didn't pay attention to this matter after that.

For him, this is just a small episode.

...

At the beginning of October, Xiang Nan finally finished recording eleven songs.

During this period, the crew of "The Prodigal Son" notified Xiang Nan that he had passed the audition for "The Prodigal Son".

The crew hopes that he will spare two months from March to May next year to participate in the film.

Xiang Nan couldn't help being a little surprised by this, he never thought that he was so lucky that he was actually selected.

He finally agreed to the crew's invitation, and then went to the United States to record "we belong together" with Mariah Carey.

"Miss Kelly, it's really an honor to cooperate with you." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"Me too, I know you are talented, but you still amaze me." Mariah Carey also laughed.

She has listened to Xiang Nan's four songs, regardless of the rhythm, melody, lyrics, singing, and even dance, they are all polished very well. It is no wonder that he has become a famous star after only half a year since his debut. It is indeed not easy.

Moreover, the most important thing is that the songwriters of these songs are all Xiang Nan himself, which is even more rare.

Because there has always been no shortage of "pseudo singer-songwriters" in the music world.

Since people favor talented people, if a singer can write lyrics and compose music, it will definitely be highly regarded.

So many singers will ask for authorship. After TAs buy a song from a songwriter, they will write a harmony into it by themselves.

In this way, TAs are eligible to be listed as songwriters, as if they are also talented and participated in the creation. But in fact, the difficulty of their creation is extremely low, and it is not even possible to talk about creation at all.

Because the stars who dare to do this are basically already popular, and even the record companies have to support them, so even the songwriters dare not have opinions, and can only acquiesce in the occurrence of this situation.

It is also very simple to identify this kind of "fake singer-songwriter". As long as there are more than four songwriters, it is basically certain that the singer is a famous singer.

In comparison, Xiang Nan always has only one songwriter for each song, so it can be determined that these songs are written by him independently, not nominal works.

It is natural that a person is very talented to write so many good songs by himself, which is why Mariah Carey admired him very much and agreed to cooperate with him.

...

On the other hand, it was because Mariah Carey also wanted to use Xiang Nan to turn salted fish over.

After she divorced Tommy Motorola, president of Sony Records, in 1997, her career was greatly affected.

In fact, divorce is not new in the entertainment circle, the key is that the two are too embarrassed to be married.

When Mariah Carey first started her divorce proceedings, she broke the news that Mottola had been monitoring her phone calls and even sent private detectives to monitor her.

In order to collect evidence that Mottola monitored her, Mariah Carey also hired a private detective to monitor Mottola.

After these news broke, Mariah Carey's image was greatly affected.

After the divorce, Mariah Carey changed boyfriends every three days, and all kinds of gossip news were flying all over the sky, which also had a great influence on her.

And after breaking up with Tommy Mottola, the president of Sony Records, Mariah Carey's career was hit by the other side.

For example, her new album "glitter" is going to sample from Yellow Magic Orchestra's song "Firecracker". Mottola gave Jennifer Lopez a sample of the song to release the single early.

In this way, Mariah Carey will not be fresh any more, which will naturally greatly affect sales, forcing her to remake the single.

For example, Mariah Carey invited Irv Gotti to be her own producer, and Mottola took the lead and asked Irv Gotti to mix other songs...

Under such interference, Mariah Carey's new album could only be completed stutteringly, and the sales volume was naturally very bad, only two million copies.

But her record sales in the 1990s were all over tens of millions. Therefore, it can be said to be a big landslide in the career.

Plus, after she left Sony Records, she went to Virgin Records.

In 2002, there was a change in the management of Virgin Records, and the newly appointed president Alan Levi decided to terminate the contract with Mariah Carey.

In addition, Mariah Carey tried to act in a movie in 2001, hoping to gain both fame and fortune like Whitney Houston starred in "The Bodyguard".

As a result, the movie "Tears of Star Dream" she starred in was not only not well received, but also only had a box office of more than 4 million US dollars in the end, which caused the film company to lose a lot of money.

Because of this, although Mariah Carey is still known as the queen of American songs, her career has actually declined seriously, and she is only one step away from dying.

In comparison, Xiang Nan is a rising star, and his rise is very fast, it can be said that he became famous overnight.

Cooperating with such a potential new star, it is really uncertain who will take advantage of who.

Therefore, Mariah Carey was naturally flattering Xiang Nan.

She also hopes to cooperate well, so that she can save her career.

Otherwise, it will be really troublesome.
