Chicago 1990

"Everyone is watching us secretly, everyone."

One afternoon in early September, Song Ya hugged Fergie, leaning lazily in the corner of the stadium side stand, cheering for Tony's football team debut.

The two deliberately chose a seat away from the crowd, but the eyes of all the students on the scene floated here unconsciously, even the players who are warming up are no exception.

"This is the star's trouble." Song Ya signed the name for the classmate who had plucked up the courage to come over to ask for an autograph. Seeing that more people were ready to move, he quickly gave a wink at the old Mike who was wearing sunglasses behind him.

"Sorry, that's the end of the kids." Old Mike blocked the crowd for him, "Go back and sit down!"

"I don't understand, why stay in this middle-class school? We can transfer to a better middle school." Fergie said while chewing gum.

"Ha!" Song Ya laughed shortly, "You look down on the middle class so soon? Your song hasn't been released yet, so are you sure you can become a singer?"

"Of course, you wrote the single." Fergie leaned in his arms fondly, "It will be very popular, I can feel it."

"Then you have to be more attentive when recording." Song Ya flirted with her blond hair, lowered her head and pressed her red lips, and the two of them kissed like nothing else.

After breaking up with Mila, Song Ya completely freed herself. Fergie was also an enthusiastic and unrestrained personality. The two of them did not shy away from the outside world, and thoroughly lived a public youthful life.

Old Mike shook his head, sat back behind them, and took out a newspaper tossing time from his arms.

"Huh? What are you listening to?" As the two of them moved, the earphones hanging on Fergie's ears fell off, and there was music.

"The proise of a ne da." Fergie replied, and she put a headset into Song Ya's ear.

"Paula Abdul's song?" Song Ya didn't care at all. He felt a little bit wrong when listening to it. The music in the headphones seemed to be more advanced than the same period of this era, with stronger penetrating power, and the effect of stereo surround is particularly good. Excellent, "How is this sound quality made?" He feels that this sound quality is closer to those apocalyptic songs he got, and this technology is undoubtedly closer to the future.

Foretelling the future is an opportunity to make money!

Fergie shook her head, "This song is now at number two on the Billboard Singles Chart."

Song Ya picked up the phone and called Hayden, "Help me find out what new audio technology is used in Paula Abdul's new list on the list."

"Hey, my good brother..." Tony, who was on the phone with Hayden and finished his practice, ran to the vicinity, "Are you watching me play?" He was very excited when he returned to the football field. In a middle-class middle school with no rugby tradition, he relied on his physique to be the main force. "Always see you keep busy, keep busy."

"The world keeps advancing fast, Tony, I will fall behind the times if I'm not careful." Song Ya replied, and Fergie packed up, leaving with Tony and Old Mike.

"Is it called D surround sound technology? Who are the leading companies in this field? Okay, I'll wait for your call."

On the second day, "On behalf of naras (National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences), I would like to award the association membership to aps in recognition of his dedication to the public for a series of outstanding music works and outstanding achievements in recording engineering..."

Song Ya almost forgot that the naras membership in the back of his head was finally completed. Ms. Shirley Fleming, who claimed to be a high society, gave a lot of help. Being a member of this family is equivalent to having a Grammy Award. Although he is only one of more than 10,000 members to vote, his age of seventeen is still amazing.

As usual, a small ceremony was held in the school auditorium. Song Ya received the documents from the people from the college, and then walked to the podium to give a big thank you.

"Congratulations." At the end of the ceremony, Hayden greeted him with a smile.

"Have you found out what I wanted you to check?" Song Ya doesn't care about this kind of ceremony anymore, he cares more about business.

"Now there are many such companies. Except for the top multinational companies, Dolby Laboratories, dts, innovative technology, eu, etc. are masters of related patents." Hayden reported a lot of company names, "but none of them are listed. But the market is growing rapidly..."

"Is this an opportunity? I hear Paula Abdul's song and feel that this is the future direction of development... Which company's technology does she use?"

"Eu."

"Okay, let's go back and have a meeting."

Hurrying back to the a+ record, he gathered technicians such as Dile, Andrew and Henry to study this new technology.

After receiving unanimous approval, he immediately arranged for Dilei to test investment possibilities with various companies.

"Dolby Laboratories and eu have no intention of accepting investors. DTS is still a small garage company. The two founders have developed a few related patents. Innovative technology is a Singapore company, and the boss is a Chinese. They use the p The Sound Blaster has sold well recently, but they already have plans to go public, right on Nasdaq.” After contacting all parties, Dile returned to report, “So only dts and innovative technology companies are likely to accept new investment. By."

"Leave it to me from the Chinese, you go contact dts!" Song Ya made a decision and personally contacted the two Chinese bosses of the innovative technology company.

I wrote a few sentences in Chinese, but soon discovered that the other party is now going public, and it is impossible to accept new investors. Instead, they chatted and talked about Song Ya making money for himself. The other party intends to find someone to endorse their sound card. When it comes to new singers, aps with Chinese descent is considered right.

"Mr. Hu, it's okay to endorse, or should I let my agent talk to you?" Song Ya happily chatted on the phone, "I can charge you a friendly price. You must notify me before you go public and I will go to the open market. Support? Haha, yes, that's it, goodbye."

There was good news from Dile. DTS was worried about funding, but the two founders were not willing to let go of their patents, and were only willing to accept venture capital.

"Venture investment is venture capital, let's do it!" Song Ya said excitedly into the microphone: "As long as there is a patent related to d surround sound, I am willing to enter, and I will add this technology to my future single recordings!"

"Okay, no problem." Dilai quickly negotiated with that side. A+ Audio Company will provide angel investment of $250,000 and a series of early-stage operational assistance to dts company in exchange for 100%. Twenty-ths of the shares of dts company.

It’s done over there. Hayden also negotiated an endorsement contract with the people of the American branch of the innovative technology company, which cost $750,000. In addition to a TV commercial, Song Ya’s personal image will also appear in the packaging box of their company’s sound card products. on.

He was busy here, but he did not expect that something happened to Paula Abdul who provided the "inspiration". One of her backing singers sued her in the UK.The backing singer claimed that a certain single in the new album of Paula Abdul was actually performed by himself rather than Paula Abdul himself.

The singing incident quickly fermented, and even as a thriving diva, it is difficult to pass this scandal.

"Do you think it's possible? It's ridiculous to sing on behalf of you?" Song Ya asked Hayden.

"Because of the style, Paula Abdul must sing and dance vigorously during live performances, so she often half-opens the microphone or plays the accompaniment pairing, but that's nothing. Everyone knows that it's impossible to dance so intensely. Keep the sound stable and be tolerant to such dancers."

Hayden replied: "But acting on behalf of singing? This accusation is much worse than live fake singing. I used someone else's voice to replace his own when recording the music. Not long ago, the illi vanilli group was exposed to someone to sing on behalf of others and was directly taken back. Laimee, the members of the group couldn't mix up immediately."

"Maybe someone wants to frame her? Inspiration from the illi vanilli singing event?" Yeremov questioned.

Hayden shrugged, "Then I have no way of knowing, but what I know is that there will be another bloody storm in the music circle..."
