Chapter 113 Let's Bet

After filming the movie, Richard immediately became involved in recording a new record. Alex was also recording, but he recorded the music in the movie. The work of rehearsals, arrangements, sound effects, dubbing, etc. has been completed long ago, just go into the recording studio to record.

To be honest, these songs are very different from songs of this era, but they feel unforgettable after listening to them. During the recording, Mark and other musicians came over to observe. As long as Alex released new music, they were as excited as if they discovered a new world.

"It's really worthy of being Alex's song. Every time I write a song, I feel something new is inside."

"Yes, there is an indescribable feeling whether it is the lyrics or the arrangement."

"I still don't know how some songs were recorded, how do you make those strange sounds."

"Oh, that's electronic music. I remember someone in Germany had made this thing, but it wasn't as skillful as Alex, and it sounded nice."

The songs "Love You in My Heart" and "Salzburg" and "HEY, SOULSISTER" have been recorded long ago and have been recorded during the film editing process. After the launch, the fans reacted very fiercely, and these songs have always been ranked in the top ten of the weekly charts.

Originally, this time he was going to record other music in the movie, such as songs like "Edelweiss". After recording, he felt that he was still unsatisfied, so he added the previous songs by the Carpenter brothers and reorganized the songs to record a high-quality version.

In order to hurry up, the previous version was a little hurry in production, but now when I have free time, I spend some time on it. After it was published again, it was still very popular, with a big momentum of a song that traveled all over the world. Faced with such a crazy and ferocious Alex, many music critics found it incredible.

Whenever something new comes out, there will always be resistances, and the electronic music created by Alex is no exception. Traditional musicians cannot accept this strange music and publish articles to comment. Unlike the reactions of critics, the market likes this new type of music very much.

"Alex has gone all his talents, and the genius of the past is powerless to turn the world back!"

"The old song of Alex is edited and the market reacts crazy!"

"Strange, noisy music, the newly compiled song sounds too cold!"

"Electronic music? This should be electronic noise!"

They were very disgusted with Alex's method of cheating money, but there was no way for fans to listen to his songs. No matter what they said, Alex's records sold one platinum disc after another.

Alex never reads critics' words, and he believes that these people are just chewing.

But after he finished the previous song, he found that he still had a lot of free time. He originally planned to stay at home to write books, but he found that this was too boring. He wanted to go out, but he was afraid of meeting crazy fans or something. After thinking about it, he came to the record company.

Here, he met Little Richard and Jerry and found that they were planning to record piano music. They used ancient yellow dense pattern slow-turning records, which were specially recorded for classical music lovers.

"Why don't you record rock music?" Alex was a little curious and wanted to ask what they were doing.

"Now we're going to play something else, Alex, are you going to come together?" Jerry said with a smile.

Alex turned his gaze to Little Richard, knowing that he would not get the right answer from Jerry.

"We are recording classical music, some piano music." Little Richard answered honestly.

Piano music! It seems quite interesting. After listening to it, Alex immediately became interested. They got together to study what piano music to record to make it easier to sell.

"Of course it's Beethoven's "The Ninth Symphony"! If we record this, we will definitely sell the most." Jerry said loudly while playing on the piano.

Little Richard shook his head gently and said, "I don't think so. I want to record Chopin's "Fantasy Improvisation". I don't know if this sells the most, but I just like this song the most."

After hearing this, Alex felt that neither of these two guys looked very reliable, so he said, "You are wasting the company's resources as a result. If you can't sell it, wouldn't it be a loss?"

"Yeah! We have made so much for the company, but we can't let us lose a little." Jerry immediately said strange words.

He was just trying to say something bad, but when he saw Alex's face sinking, he immediately changed his words and said, "But, it's not a way to record randomly like this. Why don't we make a bet."

As soon as he heard the bet, everyone else surrounded him. Someone asked eagerly: "How is the gambling method? Can we also participate?"

"Yes, yes. You guys record the record, let's place bets next to you."

"But I don't know how to bet."

Everyone was talking and excited, just like sailors on the boat gathered to gamble.

Seeing this situation, Alex couldn't help but curl his lips and thought to himself: "It's not just Chinese people who are good at gambling. When they hear about gambling, these guys also start to go crazy."

In order to control the situation, Alex felt that Jerry could not mess around at this time. He said: "Since you want to bet, let's bet on who will sell platinum records first."

If you want to sell platinum records in the United States, it will be 1 million copies. This is not a small number. Maybe some people will never buy this number in their lifetime.

When Jerry heard Alex's gambling method, he wanted to escape. At this time, his best result was a record that he collaborated with the other three. As for singles, he had not sold to the platinum level, let alone piano music.

Little Richard was different. He was very interested in this gambling method. He asked, "What about the bet?"

"Yes, what about the bet!"

"The loser took off all his clothes and went around the company three times!"

"Bad, what's the benefit of this to the winner!"

"Or let's bet, who will be the banker?"

"Alex is talking about the bets of the three of them, and it's not our turn yet."

Everyone started to cheer, and the scene was in chaos until Alex spoke.

"The bet is that after exceeding the platinum record, for every record that exceeds one record, the loser will give the winner one $1! As for the upper limit, it is stipulated that the maximum loss is not allowed to be $1 million."

Alex's gambling method is very novel. At least others have never heard of it, but it is very exciting. It sounds like a record of $1, not a lot, but the bets are actually very large. If it is sold to the level of double platinum, wouldn't it be for the winner to be 1 million US dollars?

"This is not possible, there is no specified time. If that record has been sold for ten years, wouldn't it be a loss for ten years?"

Jerry immediately stood up and said, "What he pointed out is not unreasonable, and he always needs to set a good time."

"Then it's tentatively set for one year, how about?" Alex said immediately.

"No, one year is too long!" Jerry retorted.

When everyone heard this, it seems that one year has been too long. If anyone still remembers it, it will not be clear.

"Then how long do you think it will take to be appropriate!" Alex threw this question to Jerry.

After hearing this, Jerry couldn't speak for a while. He actually didn't want to get involved in such a thing. He knew he was sure to lose, but it seemed that things started with him.

"Yes, Jerry, how long do you think it will take!"

"Yes, Jerry, hurry up and tell me how long it will take."

"Tsk, I think he's stupid. He dares to bet with Alex. Aren't you afraid of losing as a pants?"

"That's right, who is Alex? It's famous, you can buy a platinum record just by recording a song."

"This fool! I won't go crazy this time."

Others kept urging him to give him an answer as soon as possible. Some of these people had long disliked Jerry and wanted to see him look ugly. Some were just watching the excitement and making excitement.

Everyone's ridicule made Jerry sweat so much that he was anxious. Fortunately, Little Richard helped him relieve the siege.

"I think it's a month. If no one reaches platinum records by then, then everyone will not distinguish between winning or losing." said Richard.

"Yes, yes! For a month, you can't use your real name. Let's take a name together to avoid other factors interfering with it."

Jerry woke up from a dream and immediately reacted and continued to add restrictions.

When everyone heard this, who could still shoot his chest and say that his record could sell one million copies in a month. So they all felt it was meaningless, and they said one after another: "No one can achieve platinum records like this. It's not fun at all."

Alex also felt that no one could win if this happened, but he didn't want to give up halfway: "Then let's make a deadline for one month. However, it's better to have three chances for each person, that is, you can record three records. As long as one of them reaches the platinum first, you'll win."

At this time, Richard also knew about this and said excitedly: "Then what should I do? I want to record piano music too."

"Okay, Richard, if you want to join, come on too."

Alex doesn't care about one more, let alone his younger brother. Richard's piano is also good, and it is no less than Richard Jerry, Jerry, Chuck and others.

They did it as soon as they said they could and immediately set off to prepare for recording records.

The most important thing is to choose which song to record. Although they want to record piano music, other instruments or sound effects must be added. The piano playing part is just the main part of the song, and other instruments must be available, otherwise it will appear too monotonous.

They all planned to add some electronic music sound effects to it, which was influenced by Alex's music. Now, except Alex, no one can produce complete electronic music. As the people around him contacted him, they gradually accepted this new arrangement technique.
