first person with whom they met, was the project manager, who was fully responsible for the work with Gregory in the label, Mercury. Such a big teddy bear, bald and with an honest, open look. And his name was Oliver. Olivier Otten. He had previously worked with Sylvie Vartan, Kalozhero, Florent Pagny, Zazie and Mark Lavuanom. And he volunteered to do our son's career, after being spotted him at the Star Ac. Between them from the first day was born a beautiful friendship. Greg from the outset fully trust him, Olivier was not only his friend but also the main adviser, a guide. They had nothing to hide from each other. One short look, one tone of voice on the phone to them was enough to understand each other - both in good and bad moments. I think Oliver from getting any of Greg's often - it is all to see him. For example, Gregory was quite able to invite friend to come to dinner with these words: "By the way, and you can not do on the road for me to purchase and bring me the newspaper L'Equipe?». But Olivier is also in debt he never left. Gregory once in the promo was supposed to participate in the transfer Hit Machine on channel M6. The night before, Olivier calls him and warns:
- Tomorrow, in the studio you'll be performing a duet with singer Amin, but some of your lines will be in Arabic. Now, I'll send text, you just have a whole evening to learn it!
The next morning, Greg he calls back. He held for the text all night and has already started as something to doubt that he will succeed. Olivier almost died of laughter. Well, of course, the story of the duo - it was his invention. Greg hung for half an hour on the tube, invented for him a variety of insults ...
At some point in Olivier difficulty with Mercury. Greg did not hesitate one second:
- Well, if you go there, then let you be my personal manager?
retrospect, I realize that in addition to Pierre Olivier was the only person who could do every day to support and help Gregory. They really loved each other. And we also infinitely love Olivier. He is always there, always with us, he gives us advice, listens to us, protects us. It takes very important place in our hearts and in the name of Gregory Lemarshalya Association, where he is vice-president. He also vowed to Gregory that he would fight until the end. He often tells me he has no right to break down and succumb to despair because he knows what else Greg descend from heaven to "properly napoddat him on the ass!
And on that January day at Universal Studios was introduced by Pierre Olivier, and Greg the whole team, starting with Santa, president of Mercury, which Gregory welcomed with a loud cry of "Welcome to our clan!". These words means a lot to our son. He was part of his second family, in which the only driving force, only passion was music. He is also anxious to again meet with John Kassar. With him, they gradually learn to tame each other, trust each other. Every time Gregory was singing, he was looking in the eyes of Ivan signs of approval. He had not raced for flattery and praise, No, but it was just important to make sure that Ivan was delighted. I think Ivan was also very much attached to Greg. He always said that Gregory was incredibly easy to coexist and work, and not every singer is so. Once Ivan Cassar, seeming to hesitate, offered him a song.
- I have the text of Mark Levy for you, and I wrote the music ...
- Come Sing it to me!
As soon as Ivan began to hum Je t'écris , Gregory highlighted the broad face smile. And suddenly, at the end of the composition, Ivan suddenly hit in all heavy on the piano, and a beautiful slow ballad dramatically transformed into the wild, rhythmic epic. Gregory was happy to madness, he and saw himself performing the song: "How can this be a stroke of genius on the stage!".
Many of these moments I had lived only in stories. Most often, Gregory had been in Paris together with his father, and we stayed in our female company in Sonnaze. But we are called up each day and told each other all the news. He took off a little flat in the fifth district just a few hundred meters from Universal. At this time my son really truly left the family nest. But I'm not too worried about it, I knew he was in good shape and that he just blossomed and felt better thanks this work. And especially to reassure me that I saw - he is watching their way of life and compliance with all regulations. Before recording the album, he spent two weeks undergoing treatment with antibiotics to "perezalit tank," as he liked to say. And although the lark it was difficult to call, he specifically getting up early to get a session kinesitherapy before going to sing.
In the studio of their understanding with John Kassar and Bertrand Lamble felt throughout. I was present on the record only twice, but I saw that Greg was never satisfied with his singing. He could try to remake frenzy to the same line within half an hour, which led to sometimes very funny conversations.
Ivan: Everything is ready, perfectly turned out!
Greg: No, I do it still does not like, we begin re ...
Ivan: Bah! Then I decide, but I'm telling you that the line came out great!
Greg: No, I'm sure I can make it better!
Most of it was better to have nowhere, and eventually left the option that offered Ivan - and he missed an opportunity to pin Greg about it ...
Even before they finished recording their first album, Gregory warned him:
- The second album, we also do together. And then third, and fourth ...
Ivan for days and nights sitting on that drive to finish it in time. And the moment when we are with a team of Mercury were to make a choice. Which track to release first single - For the first single most important, it is his so eagerly await and fans and critics. A corps perdu? Ecris l'histoire? Je deviens moi? Pascal Negro had his own idea on this subject:
- You will see that work best Ecris l'histoire ...
course, he was not mistaken.
on video shoot Gregory was not alone. When he arrived at the cinema Mac-Mahon in the two steps from the Star, the technical team, photographers and extras were already in place. To relax, Greg do what he could do best: go with all the talk. And if there's something I'm proud because this is the fact that my son has always stood firmly on the ground, he stayed in the real world in which there was no place star disease, in which he simply came to the common people and talked to them on equal terms, without feeling any difference.
script of the video was pretty simple: Gregory in the movie with other young people his age. He likes a girl, she is also indifferent to it. Exchanging smiles, loving glances, and eventually they kiss with passion and at the same time embarrassed that so peculiar a couple at this age. Ecris l'histoire - write the story ... In retelling this seems very simple task, but knowing Greg, I'm not sure he felt comfortable in such shootings. But fortunately, this pretty blonde - a modest and merry - could give him confidence. According to Pierre, who was present on the set, our son behaved like a true professional, and even agreed on the fourth and fifth doubles. Maybe he eventually liked it so much that he is with her barely parted ...
But if without jokes, then Gregory is really Responsible went to this shooting, and he always wanted to see the raw material and all captured doubles. Usually in terms of work, he generally liked intervene in absolutely everything. And Olivier could not have chosen a better day to make him the most wonderful surprise.
Greg just was in the capable hands of Leticia - Its grimershi and accomplice with the old Academy, the only one with whom he could fully relax to, as he said, "hide minor troubles" and cover up the circles under his eyes - when Olivier came to him with a large envelope in his hands. He opened it and took the very first single. At that time, celebrated dearest dearest wish Greg: he can see himself in the shop, on the cover of the disc.
He hit the promo of his album with incredible enthusiasm, not knowing the steps and forgetting about all the limitations. He wanted to respond to all requests for an interview at any time. For him there was no small unknown newspaper or insignificant audience. He was able to drive hundreds of miles to participate in any program on regional radio. "You do not understand well and let them just a few thousand listeners, but of them at least a few people, but will discover my album! "It became simply unbearable in this their zeal. But it was necessary that he still was attentive and the beach itself. He could not give an interview early in the morning because he had at the time was treatment, he could not ride in a few long trips in a row ... And despite the great desire he had to abandon some of the proposals and meetings in support of their first album. Most often, he understood everything, but still grumbled and sulked. And sometimes do not want to hear anything. Stubborn as a mule!
