Matthew slowly parked the car on the side of the road, peeked out from the window, and glanced at the dark red brick building, but only three stories high, revealing a hint of the tough outline hidden among the green creepers The Victorian style design reveals a long history of calmness and distinctiveness even in the varied and profound lower/urban areas.

Looking up, you can notice that this street is called Princes Street, which has the same name as the avenue that crosses the city centre in Edinburgh. The scenery here is naturally not as beautiful and magnificent as Edinburgh’s hillside cliffs, but the red brick walls , Cyan floor tiles, black carved railings, the old and gentleman's British flavor is still permeated wherever you can see.

Going a little forward two steps, penetrating the spacious and bright floor-to-ceiling glass wall, you can clearly see the decadent postmodern interior design, the rough warehouse style also reveals a little steampunk temperament; graffiti on the glass wall All kinds of fonts, words and sentences, English and Chinese, white and red... There are so many different kinds of styles, and I don’t pay attention to thinking that this is an abstract artistic graffiti with a unique style.

The whole building is calm and quiet, yet it reveals a sense of freedom and randomness.

It is hard to imagine that this is actually a recording studio. There are no signboards or door plaques at all around the building. If you don't say anything, even if it is a modern art gallery or a classical art museum, Matthew feels that there is no sense of disobedience at all.

"The boss has good taste." Matthew gently closed his jaw, expressing affirmation.

Lan Li's sight also showed some surprises. He did not expect that in the commercial Manhattan, such a special recording studio could be seen, even in the lower/urban area where art is dominant, it is still a unique existence. "That's why I chose New York."

A simple ridicule, but a deeper level of ridicule was hidden, and Matthew couldn't help but smile.

You can feel it when you are in major cities in Europe. The irreplaceable sense of historical precipitation, as well as the impressive sense of artistic influence, is not only in places like museums or historical buildings, but also in the streets. The unique temperament of the alley, there are young people performing classical music on the street, and people sitting in the square reading books.

It is precisely because of this that Europeans always have a kind of rejection and even contempt for mainstream major cities in the United States. Large cities like Los Angeles, Houston, and Chicago always appear superficial and straightforward, lacking a truly memorable temperament. In comparison, New York and Boston on the east coast are one of the few cities where history can still be seen.

From a certain point of view, there are actually many similarities between New York and London. Therefore, Lan Li had the ridicule and ridicule of the sentence just now.

Watching Lan Li get out of the car, Matthew leaned over his body, supported the passenger seat with his elbow, and said, "After you get the contract, remember not to sign immediately. Strictly speaking, anything that needs to be signed in the future Don’t sign the document until I handle it. You must remember it.”

As a lawyer, Matthew knows no more about the legal provisions and the effects of contracts. Although he is a court trial and criminal defense lawyer, things like reviewing contracts are easy to come by.

Prior to this, all contracts of Lan Li were handed over to the agent, and then they were handed over to the lawyer to complete the review. The lawyer’s fees were naturally paid by Lan Li; but now, Matthew moved to New York and settled in New York. There is no need to borrow the hands of others.

Although Lan Li is about to start recording his first album today, in fact, he has not signed any contract so far, and everything is still in a primitive state.

On the whole, the production of albums and movies are the same. Production companies, distribution companies, and production teams including artists have all contributed and paid off. Before starting work, everything will be standardized in white and black to determine the rights and interests of everyone and avoid disputes.

But this time the situation is very special. Renly has not been in contact with any record company for the time being. George Slander intends to use his savings to produce the entire album, which is completely independent production. In other words, the production company and the distribution company are not involved at all, and currently there is only one production team.

So, how should the production team regulate the ratio of pay and return?

This situation is a bit similar to "Buried alive" and "Crazy Love". The situation of these two works is similar. The director finds the investment, then sets up a shooting team and cast himself, invests in production, and then attends the film festival and seeks Favored by the issuing company.

At that time, Lan Li was the first to sign the contract and became a part of the production team by adding bonuses to the film.

As for the production and dividend model of the album, it is unclear. Regardless of whether the model is the same as the movie, Matthew can be sure that George will inevitably discuss the signing of the contract with Renly before he officially enters the recording work. Therefore, this is the explanation just now.

Lan Li turned around, smiled at Matthew, did not say much, and walked backwards towards the building behind him, then waved his hand to say goodbye, turned around again, and took a step. He soon disappeared in that glass door.

Matthew restarted the engine, drove out a temporary parking space, and went to the law firm where he worked.

Entering the lobby on the first floor, the sun and the bitterness behind you are blocked, the mottled walls, rusty iron pipes, dusty old antiques, and the space like a waste warehouse, telling about the time here everywhere The story left. Just an office environment, you can get a glimpse of the company's overall style, which makes people shine.

After a meeting, Lan Li was deeply impressed by this independent music production company called Eleven Studio.

Just like independent film studios, there are countless independent record companies in the United States. However, after entering the 21st century, the entire music market is in a slump, showing an overall downward trend, even for Universal Music, Warner Bros., and Sony Music. The giants are also facing new challenges, not to mention those independent small companies. Therefore, there are countless small companies that have never heard of.

Lan Li is familiar with movies, but his understanding of music is really lackluster. When George chose the recording studio of Eleven Studio before, Lan Li was completely confused and had never heard of it. For this reason, Nathan also made a small investigation.

This independent music production company is well-known in New York. Despite the sluggish global music market, it still unswervingly supports the development of indie music, vigorously supporting niche music such as folk, rock, and jazz, and has always Never waver; not only that, they also strongly support unknown independent musicians, often renting top recording studios to these independent musicians at lower than market prices.

Last month, the City of Sound in Los Angeles officially announced its closure, ending the half-century glory of this legendary recording studio. The decline of traditional music has been unstoppable, but under such circumstances, the 11th Studio still maintains its original intention and becomes more and more apparent. It's commendable. In the independent music circle, the eleven studio has really made a name.

Singers such as Jason Mayez and Norah-Jones have completed their album recordings here.

Before, everything was just the text after the Internet search, and there was no emotion. Now, this bit by bit penetrates into the picture, and it starts to become full and vivid.

Looking left and right, Lan Li could not find the location of the front desk. There are many tables in the room. The front left is a work area made up of four tables, but on the right is a neat work compartment. The use of the entire space appears Discreet and random, with no rules at all; several staff members can be seen sitting in their seats, holding coffee and sandwiches, chatting and laughing, as if they have not yet entered the working state.

Even if you want to ask, you don't know who is the right choice to ask. Such a situation is really rare, and the smile on the corner of Lan Li's mouth rises involuntarily.

"Sir, what can I do to help?" A tall man walked towards him, with a short flat head but not fierce at all~www.novelhall.com~ On the contrary, there are some honest, honest, strong and strong. His figure is even more reminiscent of... a teddy bear. Noting Lan Li's gaze, he smiled slightly and raised the mug in his hand, "Need a cup of coffee?"

Lan Li laughed blankly, "I just finished enjoying today's breakfast coffee. If I don't want to spend my afternoon quota, I'd better refuse it now." He jokingly expressed his refusal, then changed the subject and brought up the business. , "Len Li-Hall, an appointment at 9:30 in the morning."

"Nine thirty?" The man's bushy eyebrows raised, showing a friendly smile, "You must be a punctual guy." It was only nine ten ten, and he arrived twenty minutes early.

Lan Li couldn't help but nodded meaningfully, "There is always someone to obey." The one who was punctual was not him, but the one who just drove away.

The other party immediately pointed to the direction upstairs, "Are you here to record? I booked a full-day time. If I remember correctly, it should be on the second floor, with the sign of'Stupid' hanging on the door. That's it."

Lan Li raised his eyebrows slightly, and a smile appeared in his eyes. This independent music production company is indeed a maverick. "I guess, this shouldn't be suggesting my IQ data." This ridicule made the other party. He laughed happily, and the whole face became clear.

The other party took the initiative to extend his right hand, "I am Teddy. Welcome to the 11th studio." Lan Li shook hands in a friendly manner, "I hope your recording work today will go smoothly."

Lan Li's eyebrows were dyed with a smile, and he was very happy. He nodded gently, "This is exactly what I need, a little blessing, a little luck." The brisk tone with a hint of teasing, the corners of the two people's mouths. Both rose up.
