Chapter 1023 New Lineup Gathering
Paul's residence is a villa with a garden and courtyard.
Compared to the last time Jiang Yuan visited, the flowers in the garden had changed varieties and were obviously carefully tended.
While Paul was parking the car, Jiang Yuan took out his mobile phone and took a few photos of the garden as a simple record.
Then he sent a message to Zhang Qing, informing her that he had arrived at Paul's home.
As for the team in his own studio, they helped Jiang Yuan take his luggage to his residence for the next few days in advance.
"Come on, no one is at home these two days, so I prepared lunch for you in advance." After parking the car, Paul took Jiang Yuan into the house.
The house with no one at home looked less lively and more deserted than the last time when all the members of the Blu-ray band were present.
While Paul sat down on the sofa and got his drink, Jiang Yuan was also looking around the environment in Paul's home.
The room has good lighting and the living room looks very bright.
In addition to the huge TV and high-end audio system, Jiang Yuan's attention was soon attracted to a corner in the living room dedicated to records.
Several shelves are basically filled with vinyl records, which are obviously Paul's collection over the years.
The last time Jiang Yuan was a guest, he didn't notice these records because he didn't have a hobby of collecting them.
However, this time when Jiang Yuan saw these cabinets again, he immediately felt the value of these records and couldn't help but stay for a while.
"What's wrong? Is there anything you like?" Paul was holding a drink and walked aside after noticing Jiang Yuan.
Hearing Paul's question, Jiang Yuan nodded and pointed to the records he liked on the shelf, "I didn't buy these when I went to the record store before."
Paul unscrewed the drink and handed it to Jiang Yuan, saying with a smile, "If you like it, take a closer look."
Jiang Yuan, "."
Although I didn't have any idea about Paul's record in my heart, but after hearing the way Paul asked the question just now, I subconsciously guessed that he might want to give it to me.
After Paul noticed Jiang Yuan's expression, he smiled even more brightly.
Sometimes, part of the emotional value of collecting records is that you have records that others don't.
Just now, Jiang Yuan provided Paul with this emotional value very well.
"When did you start buying records?" Paul made a small joke, then took a record that Jiang Yuan liked from the shelf. While preparing to put it on the record player to play, he asked Jiang Yuan curiously.
"Probably." Jiang Yuan sat back on the sofa and roughly recalled the situation before answering.
Compared to the last time they met, Paul was pleasantly surprised to find that he and Jiang Yuan had another common hobby. He agreed to take Jiang Yuan to the local record store after lunch.
According to Paul, with the fruits of his face, he can buy some rare records in the store.
This also made Jiang Yuan secretly look forward to it.
After sitting and chatting for a while, when the tracks on one side of the record were finished, Paul stood up and prepared to play the other side of the record.
At the same time, he said to Jiang Yuan, "You take a rest first, I will go prepare lunch."
If it were in the past, Jiang Yuan would probably just sit on the sofa and wait.
However, after the last recording of the variety show, Jiang Yuan’s cooking skills have indeed improved a lot.
I became interested in Paul's cooking, so I followed him into the kitchen.
"You can cook now?" Paul couldn't believe it after hearing Jiang Yuan's story.
After all, when recording "World Songs", Jiang Yuan also tried to help Paul, and he ended up making things worse.
Noticing Paul's tone, Jiang Yuan touched his nose awkwardly and thought about his previous cooking skills.
But he has indeed made a lot of progress now, and even Zhou Qiqiang, who guides him, gave him high praise.
So Jiang Yuan nodded confidently, and despite Paul's skeptical expression, he said he would show Paul his skills later.
Paul seemed to be hesitant to speak after hearing this, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether he was looking forward to it or not.
After thinking about it for a while, I decided to focus on the current lunch.
Lunch was simple, just preparing to fry a steak.
But in the process, he still introduced Jiang Yuan a lot of little tricks for frying steak, such as the right time to add butter.
After studying seriously, Jiang Yuan mastered some of the tricks and planned to try them himself later.
Lunch was completed very quickly. Jiang Yuan tasted the steak fried by Paul at the table, and subconsciously showed a satisfied expression of tasting delicious food.
He immediately told Paul that he would buy some ingredients in the afternoon and show off his cooking skills in the evening as a thank you.
This made Paul feel uneasy, and he finally suggested to Jiang Yuan, "Are all the singers participating in the program recording almost here? Otherwise, why not invite them all to my house to meet."
Paul’s idea was that if Jiang Yuan’s cooking skills were really not that good, he couldn’t suffer alone.
"Okay, I'll contact the program team and ask." Jiang Yuan quickly agreed after hearing that.
Then he picked up his phone and started editing a message for Li Xiaoyue.
Jiang Yuan didn't understand Paul's inner anxiety. The reason why he agreed to Paul was purely from the perspective of recording a variety show.
Meeting everyone in advance in such an occasion will also be beneficial to the subsequent recording and create a more harmonious atmosphere for everyone to get along with.
"Can the production crew come here to shoot in the evening?" When sending a message to Li Xiaoyue, Jiang Yuan also asked for Paul's opinion.
"No problem." Paul nodded and agreed readily.
This residence is just one of Paul's many properties, and it has been made public in the form of video before, such as when filming the anniversary documentary, so it can naturally be filmed.
After getting Paul's consent, Jiang Yuan quickly explained the situation to Li Xiaoyue in written form.
As for Li Xiaoyue, she was originally thinking about what kind of party she should organize to gather everyone together, but she didn't expect Jiang Yuan to hand her a pillow so quickly.
And it was recorded at Paul's home.
After the previous anniversary concert, Blue Light Band has been a well-known band for a long time.
In terms of his career alone, Paul, the lead singer, can already be called a legend.
Li Xiaoyue is still very interested in recording the show at Paul's home.
We immediately started contacting other singers and sending out notices.
"I've discussed it with the program team." After receiving Li Xiaoyue's reply, Jiang Yuan raised his phone and said to Paul.
"Ok." Paul also felt relieved.
After finishing their lunch quickly, Jiang Yuan also helped to clean up the dishes. "Why don't you take a nap first? I'll contact and see if there are any shops open." After cleaning up, Paul suggested to Jiang Yuan.
According to Paul, the owner of the record store is also a veteran player. He usually opens the store casually, working for three days and resting for two days.
Jiang Yuan had no objection to this.
He once again selected a more soothing record to play in the living room, and Jiang Yuan leaned back on the sofa and dozed off.
Although on the plane, Jiang Yuan spent most of the time sleeping.
But the jet lag problem still existed to some extent, so Jiang Yuan actually fell asleep on the sofa for a while.
When I woke up, the record in the living room had stopped playing, and Paul brought good news.
The owner happened to be planning to open a new store. When he learned that Paul was going to take Jiang Yuan there, he was also prepared to spend some money to take out some of the items that were not for sale.
This also made Jiang Yuan feel more energetic again.
Paul drove Jiang Yuan to the record store again.
The store is located in a relatively central area of the local area.
After arriving at this area, Jiang Yuan also discovered that Paul's actions began to become more sneaky.
Although the locals know that Paul has settled in this city, it would still be troublesome if they accidentally ran into a fanatical fan.
Fortunately, we arrived at the record store safely.
Paul also introduced Jiang Yuan to the record store owner.
Thanks to Jiang Yuan's high popularity abroad in the past two years, he also appeared at major events such as the Grammy Awards and received awards.
People like the shop owner who pay close attention to music information also know Jiang Yuan very well.
At the same time, he also praised Jiang Yuan's record sales, saying that every time Jiang Yuan's records were brought into the store, they would sell out quickly.
There are even customers who, when traveling, occasionally visit his store and ask if he has Jiang Yuan’s records.
Although he had learned from Zhang Qing earlier that his vinyl records were selling well, every time he came to Paul's hometown, he heard this from the local record store owners.
The emotional value that can be provided at the moment is obviously very different, and they had a very pleasant conversation for a while.
Just as Paul said before, Jiang Yuan did gain a lot when he left the record store.
While spending, you also gain happiness.
The record was placed in the trunk of Paul's car. After the owner learned that Jiang Yuan was going to take a long flight, he packed it in a particularly sturdy package. Jiang Yuan also planned to have Paul mail it to her by express delivery later.
After leaving the record store, Jiang Yuan asked Paul to take her to a nearby supermarket to purchase food.
While shopping in the supermarket, Jiang Yuan also turned on his mobile phone to record a short clip, intending to let Zhang Qing and others see if the trip could be edited and put together into a vlog later.
Supermarkets abroad don’t quite fit Jiang Yuan’s purchasing habits.
But with the help of Paul, I tried my best to buy all the ingredients.
When I returned to Paul's house, I happened to meet Li Xiaoyue and the program crew.
Because of the shooting, it is always necessary to arrange it in advance.
The staff of the program team came forward and discussed with Paul the precautions to be taken during filming and the places in the house that might need to be arranged.
"I feel like I can shoot a "Misplaced Life" 2.0 for you later." Li Xiaoyue noticed the ingredients in Jiang Yuan's hand and said with a smile.
After all, Jiang Yuan’s cooking skills, that is, the show "Misplaced Life", was also produced by Li Xiaoyue's team.
So when they saw Jiang Yuan preparing to cook again, the staff of the program crew felt a sense of familiarity.
"I'll be ready to start in a moment, you can watch how to shoot." Jiang Yuan nodded. He was already accustomed to this kind of shooting.
On the other hand, the program crew quickly communicated with Paul on the shooting details and began to set up at Paul's home.
Jiang Yuan followed Paul to the kitchen and familiarized himself with the environment.
Paul introduced all the kitchen utensils to Jiang Yuan in detail.
After taking Jiang Yuan through the process of familiarizing himself with the moves, Paul watched Jiang Yuan from the side and started the action.
Seeing that Jiang Yuan's movements were very smooth, Paul finally felt relieved and believed that Jiang Yuan really could cook.
After watching for a while, Paul left the kitchen to rest.
Jiang Yuan seemed to have returned to the mode when he was recording "Misplaced Life", but he was more at ease than then. While processing the ingredients, he also took the initiative to introduce them to the camera.
It's like a food show.
The time spent in the kitchen passed quickly. While Jiang Yuan was busy, Paul's home gradually became lively.
Singers arrived one after another, and Paul, as the owner of the house, took on the responsibility of welcoming them and took the initiative to start conversations with the arriving singers.
The first to arrive were singers from abroad, who knew nothing about the recording lineup of "Sound Source Live".
So after seeing Paul, they couldn't help but be surprised.
When it comes to the level of the Blu-ray Band, most of the popular foreign singers have been seen at large-scale events and well-known music festivals.
So after meeting, we were able to have a pleasant chat.
Especially when they learned that Paul would be attending the show alone this time and not bringing the Blu-ray Band with him, everyone expressed their shock.
After greeting Paul, everyone basically followed Paul to the kitchen to greet and chat with Jiang Yuan.
After all, in the program "Sound Source Live", Jiang Yuan is the real link.
Most of the singers came to the show at the invitation of Jiang Yuan.
After learning that Jiang Yuan was cooking personally today, everyone's reactions varied, but they were basically much calmer than Paul.
After foreign singers arrived one after another, domestic singers also arrived one by one.
Except for Jiang Yuan who knew Ye Xuanqi's flight time clearly, the arrival of other singers was relatively random.
Like Chen Zun and Wu Xiayi, in the kitchen, Jiang Yuan just greeted them roughly and saw them once, and they didn't talk much.
After finishing a few of his best dishes, Jiang Yuan stopped.
There were too many people at the scene, so Jiang Yuan just cooked as a token of his appreciation. The program crew also placed orders in advance and made a lot of preparations.
Jiang Yuan looked at the time and asked Paul to drive him to the airport to pick up Ye Xuanqi.
