Today's second update, please recommend, please subscribe!

Evan Bell stretched and turned to look at Chester Bennington, who was slumped not far away, "Have you had dinner?" Clicked. But Evan Bell saw that there was no sign of takeout in the recording studio, and thinking about the intense discussion in Linkin Park just now, he probably forgot about eating.

"Oh, yes! We haven't eaten yet." Mike-Shinda patted his head, and the others responded, "What to eat?" "I want to eat pizza", "Why don't we call it Chinese food"... If Without Evan Bell's reminder, these over-starved guys wouldn't remember dinner. After twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, when they felt the hunger strike again, they would think about ordering takeout.

After a vigorous discussion just now, the arrangement was changed three times before and after, and after a full forty-one arrangement, a consensus was finally reached, "My belonging is completely completed. But Chester Bening" Dayton's recording work still needs to be thought out. Evan Bell felt that he was already picky enough to make music, and he didn't expect that the interior of Linkin Park was not inferior at all.

When Evan Bell made his own music, Sean Mayer, Chester Bennington, Jason Mayez and others were all discussed, but when Evan Bell himself was pondering the arrangement, The sense of being picky about himself is not so obvious, because music is always improving, and Evan Bell "doesn't know the real face of Mount Lu, just because he is in this mountain". Now, having experienced the creative process of Linkin Park first hand, Evan Bell understands his troubles.

When the others were discussing what to order for takeaway, Chester Bennington turned back and chatted with Evan Bell, "You weren't busy with the soundtrack of the movie some time ago, how's it going?" Chester- Bennington wasn't interested in film scores, but he was interested in Evan Bell's involvement in the score.

Evan Bell was leaning on the sofa and drinking with a glass of warm water. Today, his stomach is a little uncomfortable, although it is only a slight hot feeling, which is not in the way. But in the intensive performance of "Nine" recently, he didn't want to affect the performance of the whole play because of his illness. "Not bad. The use of instruments in the soundtrack really opened my eyes."

Speaking of the soundtrack of "Pirates of the Caribbean", Evan Bell's spirit suddenly came up again, although this time Evan Bell was not the main character of the soundtrack, the main work was still in charge of Klaus Badert, Evan- Bell was at best an assistant, but he did learn a lot. "Did you know that when the trumpet is the main instrument, the style of a song can be completely different?"

Whether it is Evan Bell or Linkin Park, in their music field or popular instruments, even Evan Bell's most popular "ent" does not use a symphony band, so this time the work of the soundtrack assistant, It really made Evan Bell an eye-opener. More importantly, Evan Bell was a cello player in addition to the piano in his last life, and this time he finally had a new understanding of the cello.

"In the end, we decided to use the violin, which is clear and full of emotion, and at the same time it is difficult to show the grandeur of the angry sea." Evan Bell straightened up, and Chester Bennington said excitedly, "Currently looking for a suitable violinist to record. Klaus wants to find a player who can combine classical and pop."

"Orchestral?" Chester Bennington asked enthusiastically, "We also used orchestral and piano accompaniment in 'Breakout and 'Numb' this time. In fact, we used a lot of new accompaniment this time. Instruments, and different mixes." Speaking of his new album, Chester-Bennington's mood was high again.

Evan Bell nodded. He was also very familiar with the album of Linkin Park. In fact, every album of Linkin Park was a masterpiece. Before Evan Bell was reborn, the American music circle recognized that Linkin Park was the biggest discovery of rock music in the American music circle after entering the 21st century, and their appearance lasted for a full twelve years.

"Have you talked to Claire about the positioning of the album this time?" The current Evan Bell is no longer a rookie who released his first album at the time. He still remembers Claire Days' complaints about Evan Bell's album positioning. A lot, but the result was a compromise. Although Evan Bell had only signed an album release contract with Warner Records, the release of "Two" was handed over to Warner Records again because of the good cooperation in the past.

Recalling the original situation, Evan Bell successfully reached a cooperation with Apple with a plan to commercialize digital music, and let Warner Records sign Evan Bell's first album release rights at a discounted price. At the beginning, not many people in the industry knew about this contract, but not a lot, but no one paid attention to it. Now it seems that it is the most successful reform of Lee Kelleher after Warner Records changed its leader. Now, in the commercialization of digital music, Warner Records is at the forefront of all record companies, and Evan Bell's friendship has become Warner Records' biggest gain.

Last year, Warner Music's record market share has been strongly approaching the leader Universal Music, the gap between the two is only two percentage points, the throne of the boss may change at any time.

Going back further, Claire Days discovered Linkin Park and Evan Bell at the Eagle Rock Music Festival, and Universal Music excavated the blue mood after the Eagle Rock Music Festival. Looking at the situation of Universal Music and Warner Records now, it can only be said that life is really made up of countless choices, and no one knows what impact their current choices will have on the future.

Claire Days is Linkin Park's manager, and now his main focus is on Linkin Park's upcoming second album. Hearing Evan Bell mention Claire Days again, Chester Bennington couldn't help laughing, "Claire has completely let go of the packaging positioning of your album. However, this time his positioning for our album seems to be Very satisfied, I guess it was influenced by you."

After Evan Bell's experience, Claire Days knew that, for a band like Linkin Park, instead of tying them and charting their development path, it was better to let them play their talents freely.

"Our attempt to enrich the music this time, the use of musical instruments, and the arrangement of the explosion, Claire has no opinion." Chester Bennington couldn't be more satisfied with this situation, "We are here. One album was called 'Meteor Temple (ra)' and Claire loved it."

"'Meteor Temple'? That row of six ancient monasteries on the high mountains of the Greek plain? Why did you think of using this name?" Evan Bell asked curiously.

"In Greek, what does this word mean, do you know?" Chester Bennington showed a pious expression. Obviously, he personally has a strong interest in the Meteor Temple. Evan Bell shook his head. He was quite learned, but he really didn't have much research on ancient Greek. "Meteor Temple means soaring in the sky, as if it doesn't belong to this planet. We want to use this name to reflect That immortal and profound reality."

Evan Bell did not speak, waiting for Chester Bennington to continue, "We meet a lot of people who go there to see. People go there to find solitude - to find themselves. That's what we say on our album. Something: Find yourself. Every song is an emotional release."

Evan Bell suddenly realized, "It seems that this album is very different from 'Hybrid Theory'. 'Hybrid Theory' is more about venting emotions, and this album, from the few songs I've listened to so far. Look, there are more positives."

Chester Bennington nodded, and he knew that Evan Bell understood their creative philosophy. "The tone of this album is still very low, but there is indeed more optimism. We are still the old selves. , but in the depths of the darkness, we can vaguely see the light."

Hearing this, Evan Bell chuckled, "Are you sure? Why is the dark aura still strong when I listen to songs like 'numbness' and 'fainting'."

Chester Bennington laughed, "Actually, the theme of this album is our experience during our tour around the world. That sense of loneliness and rushing has broadened our horizons, and we can Seeing things I haven't found before." Having said that, Chester Bennington paused for a while, looked at Evan Bell, and smiled a littleEvan- Bell could vaguely distinguish the cunning flashing in his eyes, "But, after all, we are still ourselves."

Evan Bell laughed heartily. Linkin Park has always been Linkin Park, and their unique and distinctive style has indeed never changed.

"Hey, hey! What are you talking about, the Chinese food we ordered should arrive. You two didn't participate in the order just now. You paid for it. Quick, go to the door to pick up the takeaway." Mike-Shinda threw a notebook on the table. , hit the middle of Evan Bell and Chester Bennington.

Chester Bennington couldn't help muttering, "Is it a sin not to take part in ordering?"

Evan Bell was even more wronged, "Hey, guys. I've had dinner, okay! Am I being forced to eat a second meal?" Everyone else burst into laughter.

But after all, Evan Bell stood up and opened the studio door with his wallet. Chester Bennington also got up from the ground and walked out behind Evan Bell. Before closing the door, I heard Evan Bell's voice, "Do you have any weight for me? I'm hungry..." The rest of the words, as well as the laughter in the recording studio, were cut off by the soundproof door. Come on. ! .
