"Mike! have you seen the official announcement of Black Hole? Their new album is about to be released!"

"Of course! I only saw it a minute ago, and it's amazing!"

Charles excitedly messaged Mike: "Hey, Mike, do you think they're going to come to the U.S. to promote the new album?"

"I want to buy the album as soon as I can, and go to them for autographs!"

"Me too! Remember to bring your guitar!"

"Of course! Oh my God! I'm so excited! I'm going to watch the video of the black hole again!"

"I'm going to watch it ten times!"

Turning on his computer, Charles finds a live video of the Black Hole band performing at Woodstock, and is dizzying.

Perfect show!

Phil is an idiot, how can the old-fashioned style of the Warriors compare to a black hole?

Turning up the stereo to the loudest, he shook his head excitedly along with the music, fuck!

"Charles, turn the music down!" shouted the mother downstairs at the staircase, but Charles, who was immersed in the music, didn't hear it.

"Hey, Charles, Mommy told you to turn up the music!" said her sister, Vivien, standing at the door, holding her head high.

"Why?" said Charles, looking at her with a frown.

"Because it made Mommy!" Vivien pouted, "The noise!"

"Bullshit! It's all the shit songs you listen to that that noise!" Charles, sneering at her.

"Really?" Vivien said with her arms crossed, "At least I won't be noisy!"

"Idiot!" Charles gave her a middle finger.

Vivien's eyes widened, and she shouted downstairs, "Mom!

"Oh my!" Charles came to the door angrily, slammed it shut, and yelled inside, "Can't you just let me be alone for a while?"

"Put on your headphones, go listen to the noises yourself, no one will bother you!" Vivien tapped the door twice.

"Okay! I'll wear headphones!" Charles yelled helplessly, "Go back to the room and listen to your sissy Bieber!"

"You're a sissy!" Vivien kicked the door and whispered, "Bastard!"

Plugging in his headphones, Charles turned up the volume to block out all outside sounds.

I really can't figure it out, those girls at school are cute, but why is my sister an idiot?

“why，you wanna tell me how to live my life？”

"Why, dictate my life?"

“who，are you to tell me if it's black or white？”

"What qualifications do you have, tell me how to tell the difference between black and white?"

Listening to the metallic voice of the lead singer Cao Wu, Charles couldn't help but sigh, in this world, only the Black Hole Band understands me!

After picking up the bass, he put on his headphones and played along with the video.

A week later, Cousin McKee rented a car, picked up the two of them, and drove to San Francisco.

The Black Hole's U.S. propaganda program is west-to-east, and the first stop for West Coast propaganda is San Francisco.

San Francisco is a port city, since the gold rush in the eighteenth century, it has gathered people from all over the world, all colors and races, San Francisco is the city with the largest number of Chinese in the United States, the total population has exceeded 12%, the Chinese call San Francisco.

This is the first stop to reach the United States during the Voyage Period, and with the large number of Chinese and a certain fan base, the company naturally regarded this place as the first stop of its promotional plan.

"Mike, turn on the radio and tune in to the KQED music channel. ”

Turning on the radio, the host's voice came out: "They are a talented rock band from China, and the album has sold more than 40 million copies. Just today, their first all-English album hits the shelves, let's welcome Black Hole!"

"Hey, Leon, hey, listeners. ”

"I've heard your songs, and to be honest, your style of music makes me feel like I'm back to my teenage years. ”

"Leon, you're young now. ”

"Haha! I like you guys, can you tell me about this album, why is it called "Rock or Bust"?"

"This song is the title track of the same name on this album and I wrote it when I was in high school. It's the song that brought our band together, and I think it represents our original passion for rock 'n' roll. ”

"I like that, the original intention of rock music, okay! Let's enjoy this song "Rock or Bust" from Black Hole!"

A simple and powerful prelude sounded, and the car was directly hilarious.

"Yay!"

Charles and Mike clapped their hands and shook their heads to the rhythm.

"Wow!" Leon's surprised voice came over the radio, "full of powerful rhythms and singing, this is really the best rock music I've heard in a while." ”

“black hole！”

“black hole！”

Charles and Mike were honored and shouted excitedly.

"At the end of the show, let's enjoy the most popular "In the End" by the Black Hole Band!"

"Yay!"

“it starts with one thing！”

The two sang along with the radio, and with the singing, the car drove towards the motel.

Record sales in Europe and the U.S. are different from those in Asia, but the general route is similar.

The company has sent the album to major radio stations in the United States to play it on the radio station and increase exposure.

This time, the promotion started from the West Coast, and the company also wanted to find a professional director in Los Angeles to help the new album shoot a set of MVs.

After the MV is filmed, it can be sent to MTV TV channels and other TV stations to broadcast.

Transnational record distribution is not something that a company can play, and just distributing records to record stores across the country is not something that Xinghai Culture can play, let alone this series of publicity.

In fact, since the last Woodstock music festival, there have been American records who have contacted Xinghai Culture and want to cooperate with the Black Hole Band.

Because the members of the Black Hole Band are all in school, the overseas market has not been able to do it, so it has been shelved.

Huaguo is the second largest music market in the world, and the album sales of the Black Hole Band are also among the best in China, and they have also released English songs that are not low, and many European and American record companies with a keen sense of smell are very interested in the Black Hole Band.

But Xinghai Culture does not accept cooperation, and as the status and popularity of the Black Hole Band in China are getting higher and higher, the record companies that come to Xinghai are also getting bigger and bigger.

It just so happened that this year, Xinghai Culture began to plan to open the European and American markets, and after a round of screening in the United States, Xinghai Culture chose Columbia Records as a partner to operate the Black Hole Band together.

Columbia Records takes the Black Hole Band very seriously, and from the West Coast to the East Coast, all major cities have open radio and television channels to the Black Hole Band to cooperate with the publicity work.

In San Francisco alone, the Black Hole Band has three announcements, two radio and one television program.

Of course, Columbia is not stupid, and their emphasis on Black Hole comes from the quality of the album "Rock or Bust".

It is said that Columbia's music director, Matthew Peterman, said that after hearing the album, he said that the album will definitely make it to this year's Billboard Top 10!
