557 The Next Legendary Hitmaker (2/2)
This particular male guest, an escort of one of the invited beauty influencers, shuddered all of a sudden. He cautiously turned his head, feeling murderous intent from his side.
”Eeeek!”
He almost hid under the table when he saw Jin Liwei shooting daggers at him with cold, murderous eyes.
”I was joking, CEO Jin! Aha-ha-ha…”
His nervous laugh petered out after feeling Jin Liwei's murderous intent increase several folds. The poor man decided to just shut his mouth off, not wanting to aggravate the scary CEO Jin Liwei's displeasure any further.
On another table, JJ and DJ Song were also still riding high from the performance along with the other guests.
”It's weird seeing Enrique Valdez play a right-handed acoustic guitar,” DJ Song commented. ”I expected that he would be a little worse playing right-handed but he's still as skilled as when he's playing left-handed. Absolutely amazing!”
”Of course! He's Enrique Valdez! And there are ambidextrous guitarists in the world. Enrique Valdez is one, the brat is another,” JJ said.
”Very true. The first time I saw Iris playing a guitar was when she substituted for Eros during their 'MusicFest Tonight' performance. It was a left-handed guitar. If you didn't tell me that she's actually right-handed, I wouldn't have known!”
”Yeah. The brat can play several other instruments, too. She would personally demonstrate her skills whenever instructing band musicians during our recording sessions. She's very strict. What a pain in the ass to work with!” JJ grumbled.
DJ Song chuckled. ”She's very strict, yes. But I don't think that she's a pain in the ass. You are.”
JJ scowled at his friend but chose to ignore the last part of his sentence. ”The brat's guitar playing style is very similar to Enrique Valdez. It's clear that she got inspiration from him. However, she also added some of her own personality and even original techniques, as evident on how she managed to invent new techniques while composing 'Monster of Insanity'. I don't often say this but I really hit the jackpot when I offered her a comeback contract when she sent me those demo tapes back then.”
”Yes. Indeed, you hit the jackpot with her,” DJ Song replied, nodding. ”Iris could play other instruments well, particularly the guitar, but her piano skills are still her main forte.”
”No, you're wrong.”
”What do you mean? In what way am I wrong?”
”The brat's piano skills aren't her main forte but her composition skills,” JJ corrected.
DJ Song's eyes widened in understanding before nodding. ”You're right.”
”Of course I'm right! I'm JJ! I'm always right when it comes to music!”
”Not always,” DJ Song muttered.
JJ decided to ignore his friend's words again. ”Since her comeback, the brat has already composed hit songs after hit songs in the country. Mark my words. I bet upon my reputation as a multi-award-winning music producer that the brat will become the next legendary hitmaker, not only in the country but also in the world, after Enrique Valdez. Maybe she'll even surpass him someday.”
The friends became quiet after JJ made this prediction. Even the loud applause and cheers around them felt like a sign, agreeing to the ”truth” in JJ's words.
