George Slander is ready to give up. It's not the passive sabotage, but the original intention.

When preparing the album "Don Quixote", George knew clearly that they would face difficulties. Not to mention that the record and release are hard to find. Even if it goes on the market smoothly, it is likely to be overwhelmed. In the torrent of the market. Even so, he decided to make this album without hesitation and desperately, hoping to produce music that returns to the essence wholeheartedly.

George had anticipated Abraham's attitude a long time ago, and he would not and cannot blame Abraham. It’s just that in the process of making this album, more and more surprises and expectations. The excitement and excitement reawakened those memories from 20 years ago. The music at that time was pure, simple, simple and profound. , Richness and connotation.

Just like the song "My Hands" just now, it is even simpler than the original arrangement of the song "Old Pine Tree". There are no musical instruments except a folk guitar, but the lyrics are slightly sad and sad. The warmth is outlined, in the mellow and hoarse voice of Lan Li, like a cup of coffee in a rainstorm, the world is rough and noisy, the room is quiet and cozy, and the strong coffee aroma travels through the humid water vapor, lonely, Bitter, but happy and beautiful.

Involuntarily, uncontrollably, George became greedy.

He knows that he is greedy. He hopes that more people will hear such pure music. He hopes that more people can find pure happiness again. He hopes that more people can appreciate the emotions in the music. He hopes... Abraham You can summon the courage and courage to give the album "Don Quixote" a chance. However, he was still wishful thinking after all.

Songs like "My Hands" are destined to be ignored. Even if it is released, no one is destined to like it.

No one will be quiet and listen to a melody quietly in the rainy afternoon; just like no one will slow down, calm down and read a book carefully, feeling the charm and precipitation of the words between the lines. Those seemingly mundane words and musical notes are about the years, emotions, and life. In the fast-food era, they will be submerged in a vast ocean in a blink of an eye, and then disappear without a trace, no one knows.

dream? art? free?

Now it has been reduced to a slogan of nothingness, wrapped in the cloak of money supremacy and entertainment to death, it has become people's self-entertainment and a means for companies to promote sales. Those crying from the heart and soul are withering and dying.

George knew Abraham's concerns better than anyone. He is now seriously thinking about whether to abandon the physical distribution channel and choose to upload and release the entire album as a digital sound source, just like the two singles before Lan Li. However, those true music lovers, those experienced folk fans, those "Don Quixote" target masses, are just outside the main consumer groups of digital audio sources, they are all complete physical album fans, even Still a fan of vinyl records.

This is like a paradox, a paradox that is doomed to fail.

Listening to Roy’s arguing and long talk, George’s eyes were reddening. He tried to change and was changing, but it was really too difficult. He looked at Roy in front of him and looked at the recording. Lan Li, there was a burst of bitterness on the tip of his tongue, maybe they were a group of outsiders destined to be marginalized by society.

"I think this is a very interesting album, but I don't know if Lan Li is interested in giving it to our studio for release?"

George was stunned by the sound coming from his ears. He turned his head and looked over. Then he saw the man with a sturdy face and a simple expression, and said seriously, "Of course, we are just a very small family. Studios, publicity resources, and distribution channels are all very limited. Similarly, the budget cannot be too much."

George was too surprised and shocked. He couldn't speak for a while, but Abraham first spoke out George's inner thoughts, "Teddy, are you serious?"

Teddy-Bell (Teddy-Bell), the CEO of Eleven Studio. This studio was created and developed by the two Bell brothers. As Teddy said, this is a very small independent studio, not even a "company". They have always been committed to independence. Music production and distribution. Jason Mayez’s two albums, as well as Bruno Mars’s first album before heading to Atlantic Records, were released by Studio Eleven.

However, the workload of the 11th studio is very small, and it has always been locked in the field of independent music. In the past three years, only five albums have been produced and released, not to mention that it is on the same level with those top big companies, even most independent record companies. It's all incomparable. Really brought the "essence doctrine" to the extreme.

Small but complete. The Eleven Studio has a very good reputation in the industry, and has maintained a good cooperative relationship with Warner and Sony among the five major record companies-Bruno Mars went to Atlantic Records, or Teddy personally matched the bridge and persuaded Abraham to sign.

George had never considered the Eleven Studio before, because he had never dealt with the Eleven Studio, and his contacts did not extend to this studio. If even Abraham, who knew everything about his roots, would be "Don Quixote" Without confidence, George has no confidence to persuade Teddy.

As for renting a recording studio, it's just a simple lease. After all, if you want to find a studio with the right price and high-end equipment in New York, there are not many options.

Today, Abraham came to the eleven studio as a guest, and Teddy came forward as the host to entertain him, and by the way, he came to the recording studio to visit and chat for a while. To put it simply, Teddy is just an escort. Therefore, when Abraham and George discussed the possibility of cooperation before, Teddy did not interrupt; but seeing that Abraham was not interested, he took the initiative to stand up.

"Of course." Teddy said with a smile. He was pretty sure that his younger brother would like the album "Don Quixote" very much, and now he can imagine how he loves it, "We have a lot of disadvantages, it's really not the best. Great choice, but we also have the advantage that the Atlantic can’t match.”

The simple and simple words revealed a sense of confidence, "We are willing to maintain all the styles of this album in its original form and respect the wishes of the creators. I think this is the essence of the whole album; In terms of royalties, we are also willing to give up one to two percentage points. In exchange, the album production budget must be controlled within one hundred thousand US dollars, and we can discuss the specific figures slowly."

Thousands of butterflies were flying in George's chest, and the whole person was immersed in uncontrollable excitement.

Is Eleven Studio the best choice? of course not! Their scale is too small, their distribution channels are too narrow, their publicity resources are too few, and even their production budgets are limited. According to Teddy’s terms, in order to finish the album, George will have to post it upside down, and it will be based on 11 Studio Based on the scale of the album and the style of "Don Quixote", it is estimated that this album will hit the street.

But is Eleven Studio the most suitable choice? Definitely is! They are willing to respect the creative concept of "Don Quixote". They are willing to commit 15% of royalties, and even one to two percentage points. The most important thing is that they pay attention to and focus on independent music, and they are making And in the promotion process, will become a positive factor for the album.

"If..." George found his voice trembling slightly, "I mean, what if the entire album contains more than fifteen tracks?" This is also the biggest problem for George and Herbert-it's hard to choose, they We all know that this is a multiple-choice question that must be made, but if you can choose not to?

"Fifteen songs?" Teddy pondered for a moment, "If this is the case, fifteen percentage points may be our limit in terms of royalties, but as I said earlier, it's just an exchange of intentions, specific details. We can sit down and talk slowly. I believe that for this album, we will reach a consensus."

"No problem, of course no problem." For more than two months, George was frustrated again and again. Abraham was his last straw. If it doesn't work anymore, then digital audio is their only choice. Suddenly, another window opened behind him. The joy, the rejoicing, and the happiness ~www.novelhall.com~ made George overjoyed, and made George a little gaffe.

Seeing George dancing with his hands, Abraham laughed blankly. He looked at Teddy, "But, why?"

Any reasonable person can make a judgment. "Don Quixote" is a project that will inevitably fail, a project that is destined to lose money, and a project with no future. Only an idealist like George can make a desperate move, even if his family is ruined. Also do not hesitate.

Teddy smiled honestly and looked at Roy who was sitting diagonally across from him, "He is right. Everyone is eager to achieve commercial results, so who should do artistic creation? I can’t imagine that one day in the future, all cinemas will only show films like Transformers. I can’t do anything about artistic creation, but at least, I can support such creations within my power.”

Roy's gaze fell on Teddy, and then he saw Teddy say lightly, "Dreams are like this. Sometimes all you need is a little irrational and a little crazy." Such a simple sentence makes Roy's blood boiled over.

Over the years, as a public agent, he has witnessed the disillusionment of one dream after another. Even he himself thinks that he is dead in his heart. He has given up dreaming, fighting, and resisting. But now, at this moment, on Teddy, on George, and on Renly, he felt the light in his heart again.

"What do you think?" Teddy said with a smile, Roy knew that this sentence was addressed to himself, so he nodded, "Maybe, this is the source of the album's name."

Don Quixote, the fool against the giant windmill.
