[US Entertainment] Crossover superstar

"Jeff, do you want to out-sign your record deal to another label?"

Dick was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't understand why Jeffrey had such an idea all of a sudden.

"Yeah!" Jeffrey nodded, staring at Dick with icy blue eyes.

Although Dick was very puzzled, after he thought about it carefully for a while, he immediately came to his senses.

After all, Walt Disney Records, a subsidiary of Disney, is not particularly good. Although it is also a record brand under Universal Music Group, it is far inferior to other record brands of Universal!

Thinking of this, Dick finally saw through Jeffrey's intentions and understood the meaning of Jeffrey's words.

"Jeff, you don't have to worry about this matter! If you really want to out-sign your future record contract to other record companies, we, Disney, will never obstruct it, because this is what you want to do. Your liberty and rights!"

Seeing Geoffrey's eyes fixed on him, Dick didn't keep him waiting long before giving him an answer.

"Dick, is it true what you said?"

Hearing what Dick said, Jeffrey and Ryan's eyes lit up instantly.

"Of course!" Dick nodded in response.

In fact, it is very common for Disney to sign out record contracts.

This is almost the case with many Disney child stars who have crossed the showbiz and music circles at the same time. Most of them are signed to the Disney company, which means that they are all artists under the Disney company.

However, their record contracts were signed to other record companies, and their record albums were not in charge of Disney, but were fully entrusted to another record company to be responsible for production, distribution and other matters.

"By the way, Jeff, do you have a favorite record company now? If so..."

When Dick saw Jeffrey asking this question, he thought he already had his own record company.

"This... not yet, I have been busy before, and I haven't considered this matter..."

There are many record companies in the United States. Jeffrey himself has not had time to screen and consider. He just wants to find out whether Disney will allow its artists to sign external record contracts.

After Dick heard Jeffrey say that he didn't even have a favorite record company, he stood up from the sofa. He frowned and walked slowly in the office. It took him a while to turn around. He looked at Jeffrey and Ryan.

"Jeff, if you want to enter the music circle early, then you have to contact some record companies as soon as possible, because it will take a long time to select songs, arrange music, produce, etc.! You can let Ryan goes to deal with it, if it doesn't work, I can also come forward to negotiate with them for you."

Dick looked at Jeffrey and Ryan seriously, and spoke to them earnestly.

Jeffrey and Ryan looked at each other when they heard the words, and then nodded to Dick in agreement.

Seeing Jeffrey and Ryan nodding, Dick's frowning brows gradually relaxed. He paused and continued: "That...about the song, Jeff, do you want to collect the song or... "

"No! Dick, I still want to try to create by myself. If it really doesn't work...then I have to collect some demos."

As for the first album, in fact, Jeffrey still wanted to create it himself.

"Create your own songs?"

Dick couldn't help being a little skeptical, but he had known Jeffrey for six or seven years, and he knew that Jeffrey would never do that kind of unsure thing.So he thought that maybe he could let the young man in front of him try it out, and maybe the result would surprise him.

Therefore, Dick did not immediately object to Jeffrey's idea.

"Uh...Jeff, it's good to create by yourself, and singer-songwriters are more popular now! However, the first thing to solve now is the issue of the record company! After you and Ryan go back, you can start working on it. Contacted some record companies..."

"Ok!"

Jeffrey and Ryan answered in unison.

On the way back, Jeffrey was both happy and sad.

Happily, he didn't expect that the things that he and Usher were worried about were not worth worrying about from Dick's point of view;

What is sad is that the record company has not yet been found, and he does not know whether the songs he created will be accepted and welcomed by people.

After talking with Dick for a long time and returning from Disney, Jeffrey and Ryan started to get busy again.

Since the school was open, Jeffrey and Justin had to continue to study in school.

While Ryan was handling company affairs at UTA, he was busy contacting record companies for Jeffrey.

Although after Jeffrey came back, there have been many programs and magazines sending him invitations, but Jeffrey let Ryan shirk.

Before, it was because Jeffrey didn’t have time to shoot movies in New Zealand, but now it’s an extraordinary time. He has to prepare for his step into the music industry, and he doesn’t have the time to go on shows and accept interviews.

On this day, a rare weekend, Jeffrey and Justin had no classes at school, and both of them stayed at home to rest.

When Justin saw that Jeffrey went upstairs after breakfast and stayed upstairs for several hours without coming down, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

From time to time, Justin turned his head to look in the direction of the stairs, seeing that Jeffrey's figure had never appeared, Justin couldn't bear it anymore, and he immediately walked in the direction of the stairs.

As soon as he walked up to the second floor, Justin heard a burst of intermittent piano sound, and after listening to the piano sound, there was a burst of guitar sound from time to time.

Hearing the sound of these two instruments, Justin immediately understood where Jeffrey was, and he quickly walked towards the music room on the second floor.

The door of the music room was ajar. Justin pushed the door open gently, and saw Jeffrey sitting in front of the piano with his back to him, looking down at something. The guitar was placed next to his stool, and Jeffrey The floor around Fury is even more piled up with many papers and paper balls full of characters.

Seeing the music room like this, and Jeffrey's hair was messy, Justin thought of the intermittent piano sound he heard before, and he felt that Jeffrey's mood should not be very good now.

Picking up the papers on the ground one by one, and unfolding the balls of paper one by one, Justin suddenly found that the papers he picked up from the ground seemed to be written and drawn with lyrics and scores.

After quickly flipping through the small stack of papers in his hand, Justin couldn't help but widen his eyes.These lyrics are very precious things!He really couldn't understand how Geoffrey would throw them all on the floor like this...

Curiosity is curiosity, doubt is doubt. After Justin sorted out the papers, he put them on the piano.

Then, Justin also sat on the bench where Jeffrey was sitting.

"Jeff, what's wrong with you... have you encountered any problems..."

Seeing that Jeffrey was still looking down seriously at another piece of paper full of lyrics and drawn score, he didn't notice his arrival at all.Justin frowned, feeling more and more worried.

"Uh... Justin? When did you come in?"

After hearing Justin’s voice, Jeffrey finally raised his head.

Looking at Jeffrey with fluffy hair and bloodshot eyes, Justin was surprised and distressed.He didn't expect Jeffrey to become like this in just a few hours.

"J...Jeff, what are you doing? How did you become like this..."

"Justin, I'm working on my album right now and I'm so sick of picking songs..."

"Choosing songs? What about these? Isn't there a lot of songs here?"

Justin pointed to the small stack of papers he had just picked up from the floor and organized.

"These things are some lyrics and scores that I have written in the past few years, but none of them fit the theme in my heart..."

Glancing at the papers Justin was pointing at, Jeffrey explained to him with a frustrated expression.

"Theme?" Justin didn't understand.

"Well... that's the common theme of all the songs in an album!" Jeffrey patiently explained to Justin.

"Jeff, what's the theme of the album in your mind?" Justin looked up at Jeffrey with curiosity on his face.

"Guess..." Jeffrey looked sly.

"Hmm... I really can't figure it out..."

After looking at the few sheets of lyrics manuscripts that Jeffrey had picked out and kept beside him, Justin still couldn't guess their common theme.

"Hahaha...Little idiot!" Jeffrey smiled and rubbed Justin's soft hair vigorously, and then tapped him on the head a few times, just when Justin looked up and stared at him about to get angry , Jeffrey finally said his answer. "d (goodbye, childhood!)"

"Goodbye childhood? Jeff, I like that name..."

As soon as he heard the name, Justin knew that the content of the song must be related to childhood, which made him look forward to it when he was still young.

Hearing Justin said he liked it, Jeffrey also hooked the corners of his mouth.

"That's good if you like it! Justin, come and help me select the songs, my head hurts from picking alone..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jeffrey took out a large pile of lyrics papers that he hadn't selected yet and put them on the keys of the piano.

Jeffrey raised his eyebrows and looked at Justin and smiled, reaching out and pushing the manuscript paper in Justin's direction.

Justin: "..."

Looking at the pile of manuscript paper full of characters in front of him, and then at the smiling Jeffrey, Justin was a little speechless, but he helped to look through it.

At this moment, he finally understood Jeffrey's mood before.
