Chicago 1990

Saying goodbye to Cooper, Song Ya deliberately bought a new album of his to listen to. The whole album is full of women, drugs, money, street gangs and violence, typical gangster rap.It seems that he faced the accusation of "not being street enough" by the black group and chose a more street way of coping. Records and movies did not fall.

With the hot sales of second-hand store singles, it is inevitable that Lao Qiao and Xiao Lori will mention themselves in interviews. Now everyone knows that the second-hand store’s songwriter, APLUS, is a good boy with good character and learning. This is a compliment. , But to some extent it will also create a gap with some black groups, such as Cooper's current face.

Not to mention that the New York black music scene has a bit of a'misunderstanding' with itself.

"Don't follow him."

During the flight, Hayden took off his earphones. "These things Cooper sang will attract the attention of law enforcement agencies. I heard that white drug police officers in some places will quietly stuff'gifts' into black cars that they dislike. A little carelessness will end the whole life."

"I will not."

Since the crossing, Song Ya has been very careful not to drive without a driver's license. Even minor conflicts on campus are avoided as much as possible. They are all involved in high-level affirmative activities, which is completely the opposite of Cooper.

But Cooper’s theory does have a bit of truth. The power of black DJs was assembled to influence the ranking of the bulletin board, and then "bring goods" to sell records...

Song Ya carefully simulated it in his mind and felt that this set of things cannot be played by himself. It is very simple. The black DJs of small and medium radio stations have low incomes and poor overall quality. If they rely solely on money to maintain their relationship, It will soon be unable to satisfy the greedy appetite of these people.Unless, like Old Joe, has a gang background, and behind the carrot of money, there is an invisible stick deterrent. Only when the two work together can those DJs be honest and obedient.And even Old Joe can only have two thin noodles in Chicago, and he was full of bags when he went to New York.

"Have a gang background, have a certain prestige in the local black community, especially in the music circle, and have a lot of money." Song Ya simply outlines the image of a character who can do things, "Even this kind of person can only be a region. Sexually, after all, gangs are very regional, the East Coast, the West Coast, the central area where Chicago is located, and the South...At least four to five powerful people work together..."

"What am I doing, organizing the Mafia?" He shook his head and laughed at this thought, and threw the idea out of his head.

Returning to New York this time, Song Ya went directly to SBK's best recording studio,'Oak Barrel'.

"Oak Barrel" is named after the oak-colored long sound-absorbing design in the recording studio. It is SBK's most advanced recording studio. It has a large area. In addition to the singers, there is more than a band and a backing troupe. .

Mila in the shed was wearing headphones and shaking her body slightly with the music. She didn't notice Song Ya's arrival outside. She was in good condition. SBK even moved a small tall bar with beautiful cups on it. She bit the straw from time to time and took a sip.

In front of the wide mixing console sat two SBK's big bull-level tuner, the white man, Eric and Al lay hands beside them.

"APLUS? The two new synthesizers you made are not bad. At first I thought it was Dile who made the wrong synthesizer settings." Maybe it was Daniel who warned that the two tuner only talked about work-related matters. Eric and Al are very polite to keep their distance, and they can't find any fault.

"Thank you." Song Ya shook their hands, "How is the recording?"

"The rehearsal effect is good, in fact, we already have several satisfactory versions, just waiting for you to come." A tuner took out several CDs from the CD rack in front of him.

"Then let's listen." Song Ya said.

"Yes." He inserted the CD into the turntable.

Song Ya picked the version closest to the original song,

"Very good idea, let's correct it as you want." Another tuner agreed. He turned on the microphone and said to it: "Take a short break, and then we will modify the following places..."

Mira only discovered Song Ya's arrival at this time, and she smiled happily in an instant, first sent a kiss through the glass, and then rushed out into Song Ya's arms, "Honey, I miss you so much."

"Me too." Song Ya kissed her forehead.

Everyone else in the recording studio is busy and keeps their eyes open.

But a phone call came in immediately, "Daniel wants to see you." After receiving the call, Eric reminded Song Ya: "He changed his office, but he is still on the same floor."

By the way, Daniel's title has changed from SBK's Vice President of Marketing to SBK's Vice President and General Manager.

Song Ya loves to hear.

"APLUS! Come in, watch the ground."

Daniel's new office is very large, with the invincible skyline outside the window. Many workers are moving in one by one cardboard boxes. The female assistant silently takes out objects from the cardboard boxes and places them on the cabinets on the wall, while he is playing golf leisurely. , There is even an indoor miniature fairway on the floor. With the slight swing of his club, the white golf ball slowly rolls into the hole along the fairway.

"Congratulations, Daniel." Song Ya complimented.

"Haha, thank you, how is the recording?" He took out the golf ball from the hole and returned it to its original position.

"I'm very satisfied, just slightly modify the feeling."

"Perfect!" The ball went into the hole again, "When the song is recorded, we will start the promotion plan immediately. At that time...APLUS you have to adapt to the changes in the role."

"I understand, I have to go back to school." Song Ya knew that when the single was recorded, his first career as a producer would be over. The follow-up promotion was SBK's business. He could give advice, but No real power to intervene.

"Haha, I almost forgot, you are still a high school student." Daniel smiled.

The two chatted casually, and Song Ya found that on the desk behind Daniel, a magazine had been opened, which happened to reveal a colorful photo of Mariah Carey.

"Do you know?" After looking a little longer, Daniel found something strange.

"I met her by chance in Detroit yesterday." Song Ya replied. He didn't want to mention to Daniel that he had seen Motula.

"Palace of Auburn Hills?" Daniel turned the golf club upside down and tapped on the picture of Mariah Carey with the handle. The big music media, it seems that Motula is touting her as the next DIVA. Huh! He also made up a story about Cinderella, saying what happened at a banquet, a joke! For Mariah Carey, he and Warner Records only spent three hundred and fifty thousand dollars in bidding! Then after two years of careful training, what happened this year? All because of this woman and divorced his wife."

He finished the gossip and said with a sneer: "Warner has Madonna and Cher, BMG has Whitney Houston, PolyGram has Jenny Jackson and Paula, Columbia's Barbra Streisand is getting old, and they can't sit still! "

"Motula looks down on you, you look down on Motula, that sentence is true, the peer is an enemy!" Song Ya quietly complained, and wanted to ask him who SBK has, but I held back. I heard that SBK's owner EMI and Columbia Records have a lot of grievances, so be careful not to irritate him.

"Not surprisingly, Mariah Carey's single will reach the top of the bulletin board, but the momentum of our second-hand store is a bit bad. It is estimated that it will drop more than a dozen places in the sixth week."

Daniel pulls back to the topic, "Little Lori should get some news to get the attention of Bobo...When we are about to fall out of the top 50, we will release the studio version of the second-hand store, and then we will have a dance mix version next time... Be sure to stay long enough before the bulletin board fifty."

"This is the so-called Mobang, right?" Song Ya asked.

"mill!"

Daniel is categorical, "It's so hard to wear, let's throw out that junk album by Little Lori to make the last."

"Isn't this the future of overdraft singers as Motula said? ... It seems that what Motula said is correct. Although Daniel's strategy can sell well in a short time, the audience after Lori I'm afraid it's hard to get better..." Song Ya thought to himself.
