() "Hi Rayray, long time no see!"

"Oh roar, who's back?

"Please, rayray, do you bring some amazing Chinese food, like the last pull, pull?"

After dealing with the affairs of the family, Lei Yun came to the company as soon as he returned to Belgium, and was warmly welcomed by everyone as he deserved.

"Hi Rachel, I haven't seen anything prettier in a while. “

"Don't make fun of me, Berg! Why are you fat again?"

"It's spicy strips! Antonio! Don't worry, this time I've brought you even more enjoyable spicy strips!"

Lei Yun smiled and greeted his old friends one by one, and then grabbed Kevin's personal secretary and asked.

"Hey Amanda, Kevin he..."

As he spoke, Thundercloud pointed to Kevin's office with his finger in the air, meaning Kevin, is he in there.

"Yes, Rayray, Kevin is in there. “

For the company's popular artist, Amanda, who is Kevin's personal secretary, naturally knows how heavy the young Chinese DJ in front of her is in the boss, so she speaks quite warmly and politely.

Especially after Rayray recently won two Grammy nominations for the song Are You With, it shocked the entire company and even the entire electronic music industry!

You must know that before this, electronic music has always been looked down upon by the Grammys, the Oscars of the music industry.

So much so that the former Grammys have never set up any awards for electronic music!

But now, because of the person in front of him, for one of his works, the Grammys have made an exception to set up two awards specifically for electronic music!

This is simply a miracle!!In the parallel world, electronic music has just begun to develop

It can be said that today's rayray is simply the brightest star in the whole of Europe, and the future prospects are limitless, who will be stupid enough to embarrass him?

"Oh. . . By the way, Kevin's most recent, uh, how can I say it... How's the mood?"

Before leaving, Lei Yun still asked the personal secretary with some uncertainty.

"This... Kevin has been in a bit of a low mood lately, Rayray, do you know any inside information?

In the face of Amanda's ridicule, Thundercloud can only laugh, just kidding, Kevin, the prodigal son who is in love, is himself a handsome and golden-rich top 100 champion, how can there be such a problem as falling out of love?

But he also knew that asking Amanda these questions was purely for nothing, and the real answer had to be to talk to Kevin directly.

Looking at the strange and familiar door in front of him, Lei Yun stared silently for a long time.

"Whew~~"

After a while, Thundercloud suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Knock, knock, knock. “

A crisp knock on the door sounded rhythmically and slowly.

"Please come in. “

With a creak, the thundercloud pushed the door in, and Kevin happened to look up.

The moment they looked at each other, both of them were stunned.

"Oh. . . Hey man, when are you back? Why don't you say it in advance?"

Kevin's expression was obviously a little surprised, but he quickly reacted, and still greeted Thundercloud as usual warmly to sit down.

A few familiar small talks, everything seemed to be business as usual, as if nothing had happened, and the Grammys dissipated like a nightmare.

But Lei Yun had a vague feeling that the moment he opened the door was solidified, like a film, in front of the two people who were originally intimate.

"Kevin, actually, I came to you to ask. “

After a few digressions, Lei Yun pulled the topic back, he wanted to ask Kevin in person, what he thought, but before he could finish speaking, Kevin had already interrupted with a smile.

"Do you want to ask Avi about that song?"

Lei Yun was surprised at first, and then nodded with some understanding.

"I think we've been talking about this question for a long time, and the Dead Poets Society will always focus on the soul of electronic music – stage music!"

Hearing this, the thundercloud suddenly fell silent.

Of course, he understood what Kevin meant, and there had been a conversation between the two of them about this issue long ago when the Dead Poets Society label refused to release their byob and two songs.

At that time, Kevin had already made it clear and clear that the future Dead Poets Society would focus on explosive stage music and would not release any works unrelated to stage music!

Deep House is indeed good, but its style and shortcomings doom it to lack dominance on stage performances, a style of music that is more suitable for being at home, in the car, and for being alone and silently savored.

On the stage of live performances, it is obvious that works that can mobilize the emotions of the audience faster and better are more popular!

Focusing on stage music, this is the external label of the Death Poets Society's label, and it is the foundation for the Death Poets Society to gain a foothold in the market!

In the future, as long as the work is marked with the logo of the Dead Poets Society, fans will understand that this must be another explosive divine comedy!

This is the height that Kevin hopes the Dead Poets Society can reach, and it is what he is currently trying to do.

Therefore, for the sake of this general direction, the sacrifice of one or two songs is really a little irrelevant.

Even if it is the work of its hottest artist, it is not enough to shake the positioning and planning of the entire label in the next few decades.

Therefore, the Death Poets Society showed no mercy, and passed Avi's experimental works in the same way, and even those who have been nominated for two Grammys are you with, and say the same no!

"So... I'm sorry, Rayray, but Dead Poets Society won't be able to release any of his works unless Avi can create stage music that satisfies me. “

Even if Kevin's words weren't clear, Thundercloud could clearly hear what he meant.

Not only Avi's works, but also yours, do not belong to the category of stage music, and the Dead Poets Society refuses to release them!

"While I personally appreciate his talent, for the sake of the company... That's all I can do. “

Choosing between a song and an entire label for decades to come?

I'm sorry, but Kevin certainly chooses to put the interests of the entire company first.

Therefore, there is no need to ask any more, Lei Yun already understands in his heart that the ending is already doomed, and Kevin's decision will definitely not change.

This is also my own special inquiry into this matter, Kevin will talk so much about 1510, for other artists who want to release, call you back directly, who will give you half a sentence of explanation?

"But, Kevin, have you ever thought about it. The future of electronic music isn't necessarily all about the stage, perhaps..."

After giving up the idea of working harder for Avi, Thundercloud couldn't help but try to discuss it with Kevin.

Because not only Avi, but also his own works have this kind of problem, are you with the first two nominations for this year's Grammy Awards, which has doubled Leiyun's confidence and is ready to continue to develop in the direction of popularity.

is even ready to work with Bieber to create a super hot single, parachute into the B list, and become popular all over the ball!

But now Kevin has directly put a brake on himself, making it clear that he will no longer support the creation and attempt in this area, so what should he do with his work, is there no way to publish it?

"I know what you're trying to say, man, think about it, do you think that royalty share of streaming media online can be compared to the income from on-stage commercial performances?"

One sentence, but once again made the thundercloud fall silent.

What Kevin said made him unable to refute, because among his sources of income this year, offline commercial performances undoubtedly accounted for most of them, and this proportion even exceeded 70%!

It's the result of his efforts to control the number of performances he makes!

The shrinking brick-and-mortar record industry, coupled with the small audience for electronic music, has led to negligible revenues for online streaming platforms.

The combination of various factors has led to the fact that the main source of income for DJs is almost entirely dependent on offline commercial performances, and the more famous DJs are, the more so, because the income from a performance is too high compared to the royalty share.

To know how long it takes to create a hit single, and how long does it take to perform once?

So Kevin's point is obvious, no matter what, the reality is that DJs have to rely on offline performances to survive

So in this situation, Thundercloud wants to convince Kevin to give up stage music and take the risk of trying so-called popular electronic music with no idea what the future holds?

Seriously, thunderclouds can't even say this kind of thing.

So much so that he was speechless for a while, and he really didn't know what to do.

"Listen to me, man, let go of those unrealistic ideas! Be realistic! What about making niche stage music?"

"Does electronic music need to be approved by everyone? People who don't understand are not qualified to like electronic music!"

"Electronic music is a carnival that belongs to a niche group! The real electronic music is the music that ranks outside the 60th place on the charts!"

"It's electronic music! It's never going to be mainstream, and it's not going to... Be mainstream!"

Kevin's earnest teachings, bitter words, but listening to the ears of Lei Yun at this time made him even more silent.

"Promise me, don't make any more useless attempts... Okay?"

Thundercloud looked up and looked at Kevin silently.

After a long time, a hoarse voice came from his throat.

"I'm going to put more effort into it... Put it on top of the stage music. “
