I’m in Hollywood

Outside the hotel room where Eric lived, Peter Ritchie knocked on the door, opened the door after getting a response, and said to Christina who was following behind: Miss Aguilera, go in, the boss is waiting for you .

Christina subconsciously glanced at the assistant Milia who was following behind her. Peter Rich noticed her eyes and said, Oh, this...

Milia Antin, Milia said quickly.

Peter Rich nodded and said, Miss Antin, you can go back to the hotel first.

Oh, of course. There was no way to follow up to see Eric together. Milia was a little disappointed, but she didn't dare to refute. Seeing Christina entering the door, she turned and left reluctantly.

Christina thought that Eric was the only one in the room, but after entering the door, she found that Eric was discussing something with another middle-aged man around a piano near the balcony.

Cameron first noticed Christina entering the door, saw the petite and sweet-looking girl in front of him, and subconsciously asked, Eric, is this little guy the singer you're looking for?

Although Christina knew about the Terminator series and heard about the Titanic that the media had been talking about for the past six months, she did not recognize Cameron, but the girl was very winking and looked at Cameron. Long was leaning against the piano in a wrinkled shirt and his hair was messy. He realized that he should at least be Eric's good friend, otherwise he would not dare to be so sloppy in front of Eric. Therefore, although Cameron's tone was right She was full of doubts, but Christina still smiled at the other party. Seeing Eric turning her head over, she quickly said hello: Eric, look for me.

Eric sat beside the piano and didn't mean to get up. He just nodded to her and said, Well, come here.

Christina obediently walked to the other side of Eric and glanced around curiously. There were several manuscripts in front of Eric and on the piano stage, which seemed to be music scores. A pencil, and those manuscripts are also full of marks.

Seeing the girl's eyes swept around and landed on Cameron, Eric smiled and introduced to them: Here, this is Christina Aguilera, oh, this is James Cameron Long, you must have heard of it.

Of course, Christina nodded. Although she just subconsciously stood on the other side of Eric, the girl stretched out her little hand and said, Director Cameron, hello, I like your movie very much.

Oh, yes, Cameron joked, shaking Christina's little hand, you don't look old enough to watch my movies.

Before Titanic, Cameron's films, except for Abyss, which were more popular, were all R-rated, that is, children under the age of 17 needed parents to accompany them to watch. He didn't think that the little girl who was just over 1.5 meters tall in front of him had seen his movie, or, even if he did, he probably wouldn't like it very much.

Having said that, Cameron turned his eyes to Eric again. Since Eric called the girl to his side, he was also sure that this was the person Eric was looking for.

These days, Eric spends his free time every night on composing the lyrics and music for My Heart Will Go On. Today, the basic work has been completed. Although he and Cameron have both been able to hum the song,

But it was really difficult for the two big men to sing the charm of My Heart Will Go On. Cameron suggested to find a female singer to try it out. Eric immediately thought of Christina who had just joined the group a few days ago.

Not to mention Christina's young age is enough to squeeze into the '100 greatest singers in history' powerful singing skills, from the beginning of exposure to music, Christina imitated Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and other days The route of a top female singer, therefore, although she does not have the sound of Celine Dion, but in terms of singing skills, she is not inferior to a singer with a single musical style such as Celine Dion.

Eric sorted out the score in front of him and explained, Jim, we're just looking for a girl to try out this song, and, I assure you, Christina is definitely the best singer in our entire crew. the one.

Okay, I hope so, it's just trying the song anyway, and Cameron won't be too serious with Eric.

Eric smiled and asked Christina next to him: The Bodyguard starring Whitney Houston four years ago, can you sing the theme song of that movie?

Christina: Is it i-will-always-love-you?

Eric nodded, waved at Cameron, and said with a smile, Show Jim a few words.

Although the singing style of i-will-always-love-you is different from that of My Heart Will Go On, the two songs are both lyrical songs, and the singing difficulty of i-will-always-love-you is even higher than that of My Heart Eternity is even bigger, and Cameron also loves music, it's impossible not to know that.

She has been on the stage frequently since she was eight years old, and Christina didn't have any stage fright in her heart. She took a small step back, brewed her emotions, and started singing.

if-i-should-stay

i-would-only-be-in-your-way

so-i\\'ll-go-but-i-know

i\\'ll-think-of-you-every-step-of-the-way

...

Cameron originally looked like he was watching a good show with great interest, but as a powerful soprano, almost as explosive as Whitney Houston, sang from the mouth of the petite girl in front of him, Cameron quickly put away his thoughts. With a thoughtful expression, she even looked up and down Christina with a face full of surprise, as if she was exploring how the small body in front of her showed such a powerful explosive force.

There is still a lot of things to do right now, but Eric didn't have the patience to wait for Christina to finish singing. When Cameron's expression began to change, Eric interrupted the girl with a smile and said, Okay, let's go here.

Christina paused, and quickly put away her voice. She thought she couldn't sing well. She blinked her eyes and stood there, her eyes flashing a little at a loss.

This time, Cameron started to 'fight the injustice' for Christina, saying: Hey, Eric, why don't you let Christina finish singing, you are so rude.

Eric no longer paid attention to this 'prostitute' guy, and said to Christina: It's okay, you sing very well, but we are a little short on time, come, take a look at these scores first, and sing for us later. Look.

Christina realized that there was nothing wrong with her, so she relaxed and smiled politely at Cameron, who was speaking for her, and came over to take the sheet music from Eric's hand.

This is the theme song for a movie I just wrote. Jim wants to hear the effect, so he called you here, Eric said, seeing Christina standing beside him reading the score, turning his head to face the other Cameron, who was leaning against the piano, said, Dude, can you bring a chair for our little singer?

Ah, me, I'll do it myself, Christina, who had already started humming in a low voice, said quickly, she didn't dare to let a big director like Cameron move the chair for her.

However, before the girl moved, Cameron handed over a chair behind him and said, Hey, little guy, oh no, Christina, go on.

Cameron didn't feel anything when he lifted the heavy solid wood back chair, so he handed it over carelessly, but Christina didn't pick it up so easily. Eric quickly got up and held the chair to help put it behind Christina.

Christina sat down and began to read the sheet music carefully. Although she has no talent for composition, she has been taking music lessons without interruption over the years, and the sheet music is still easy to read.

Seeing the girl looking down at the score, Eric knew that he might have to wait for a while. Taking advantage of this gap, Eric got up and walked to the refrigerator, poured two glasses of whiskey and a glass of juice, and came over and handed them to Cameron and Christina. Holding a cup, he chatted with Cameron casually, and said: I think the arrangement at the beginning, you can consider the Scottish whistle. This instrument has appeared several times in the play, and it is very similar to the female voice at the end of the plot. fit.

Scottish whistle, Cameron thought doubtfully, and said, Oh, I remember, James did say, is there such an instrument here?

I don't know if you can buy it in Venice. If you want to hear the effect, you can ask the assistant to find it tomorrow.

Cameron nodded, seeing that Christina was still reading the score line by line, and said, Eric, this is too slow, why don't you sing it to her, I think Christina will learn it after listening to it once or twice.

Eric looked at Christina, saw the girl nodding, and took the sheet music: Okay, I'll sing a cappella first, listen to it.

Christina's musical talent is indeed very strong. Eric just sang a cappella in a low voice, and Christina could roughly follow the lyrics. Eric directed some of the girl's pronunciation. After practicing a few times, in Eric's song With piano accompaniment, Eric and Cameron heard My Heart Will Go On from a professional female singer.

Because Christina deliberately suppressed her voice, according to Eric's request, she did not show the kind of masculine and sturdy angry voice that she was good at. Therefore, the girl's cover of My Heart Will Go On is really a bit of Celine ·Dion's sound of nature, at least both Eric and Cameron are very satisfied.

Christina's voice fell for the third time, and Cameron clapped his hands excitedly and said: It's great, it's great, Eric, I decided to use this song as the ending song of Titanic. Well, I think I should have made this song before the Venice Film Festival, because this song and the film are the perfect match for him, I don't want to wait for a moment, I will fly back to Los Angeles tomorrow, let James arrange the song as soon as possible, strive for Get it done before the festival opens.

This kind of song is still very labor-intensive. After Christina finished singing, she was holding a sip of juice, and she was a little surprised when Cameron said that this song was actually going to be the theme song of Titanic, although many people Everyone is saying that Titanic will be the next Water World, but this is a super blockbuster costing 215 million US dollars after all. If you can sing the theme song of such a film, then...

Thinking to herself, Christina put down the glass without a trace, and blinked at Eric.

There are still 20 days before the curtain ceremony. I think it should be fine if I rush a little bit, Eric also nodded. Cameron originally planned to make this song slowly if it was appropriate, but at this time it was a whim. , he also did not object to making Titanic more perfect at the opening ceremony premiere of the Venice Film Festival, so he replied, at the same time, feeling Christina's little face looking at him with anticipation, Eric smiled Laughing, reaching out and pinching Christina's face, he said, Don't think about it, this song is not for you, and you can't go the way of lyrical songs. Firefly Records will release you a single at the end of the year, So just follow the route the company has prepared for you and work hard.

Christina shrank her neck, but she didn't resist Eric's slightly intimate gesture in her heart, and said with a smile, Well, I see, Eric.

Cameron, however, sensitively noticed the interaction between the two, his eyes flashed, he raised his hand to look at his watch, and unconsciously, it was a quarter past nine in the evening.

Okay, Eric, I'll go back to prepare now, and fly back to Los Angeles tomorrow, Cameron drank the whisky in the glass, straightened up, and waved to Christina again: Good night.

Christina replied politely, Good night, Mr. Cameron.

Eric got up and sent Cameron to the door.

Seeing that Christina was not following, Cameron stretched out his hand to take Eric out of the house, and asked in a low voice, Hey, Eric, although I don't want to interfere in your private affairs, but... Pointing into the room, Ka Mellon lowered his voice again and said, How old is she?

Eric shrugged helplessly and said, Sixteen years old.

Really? Cameron didn't believe it. After all, compared to the average height of Western girls, Christina, who was only about one meter five, seemed too petite.

Of course, Eric nodded firmly and said, Also, Jim, I haven't touched her. In general, I'm quite a decent person.

Cameron also knew that Eric didn't need to lie to him about these things, shrugged his shoulders, and suddenly Void made a pinch of his face, and said with a smile, You really haven't touched her?

Eric smiled and reached out and hammered Cameron's shoulder, saying, Okay, go back and book a flight, and hurry back to Los Angeles tomorrow to work for me.

Hey, you guy, Cameron was not annoyed, and chatted with Eric for a few more words before leaving. ℃≡miào℃≡bi℃≡Ge℃≡

Eric returned to his suite, and Christina was still sitting on the chair just now reading the score, looking like a good girl.

Walking to the piano, Eric played the keys a few times and said, Let's go, Christina, I'll take you back. You seem to be staying in the hotel facing the street, right?

Christina, who was burying her head in pretence, raised her head and blushed slightly, but she mustered up her courage and said, Eric, can I stay?

Well, how old are you? Eric asked subconsciously.

Sixteen years old, Christina replied with a smile, with bright eyes, even imitating the tone of Eric's answer to Cameron just now.

Eric smiled, reached out and pinched Christina's face again, and said, It's not a good habit to eavesdrop on other people's conversations.

This time, Christina boldly grabbed Eric's hand and pressed it to her chest. She blinked, stared at Eric, her face even more rosy, and said, Then, Eric, punish me.
