"Hello, is there an album of the band Black Hole?"

"Yes, here. The clerk took Mike and Charles to the center of the record store, where there was a special rack full of Black Hole's brand new English albums.

Looking at each other and smiling, the two of them took one each and came to the cashier to check out.

The owner of the record store was a fat white man with long hair and a record wall and a pile of equipment behind him.

Seeing the record they were holding, the boss nodded: "Twenty yuan." ”

Paying the bill, Charles asked curiously, "How is this album selling?"

"It's not clear, it only arrived yesterday and you were the first customers to buy it. The boss pointed to the record player next to him, and under the transparent shell was the album of the Black Hole Band: "But I've listened to it, and this album is of high quality." ”

"Of course! Two of the four songs they sang at last year's Woodstock festival were on the billboard!" Mike boasted as if it were his album.

Charles also nodded: "'Have a Nice Day' rushed to No. 87, and 'In the End' is No. 95." ”

"We listened to the album's title song of the same name on the road, and it's definitely another good song that can hit the billboard!"

"Is that 'Rock or Bust'? I love it too. The boss smiled and asked them, "Are you fans of Black Hole?"

"Yes. The two nodded.

"Do you want to see them, then?"

"Of course, do you know where they are?" Charles's eyes lit up.

Although they knew that the Black Hole Band would be promoting in San Francisco for the next two days, San Francisco was too big, and trying to meet them here was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

The boss stretched out his hand: "Ten dollars." ”

Charles was a little wary, hesitated, and returned the price: "Five yuan." ”

"Deal. "The owner was very happy.

Charles was stunned, but the words had already been spoken, and he still took out five dollars and slapped it on the boss's hand.

After flicking the money and stuffing it into his pocket, the boss pointed to the TV tower in the distance outside the window, smiled and said, "They will record a program at the TV station at four o'clock in the afternoon, if you want to see them, you can go there and wait for them." ”

“……”

Charles was dumbfounded, that's it?

Although he really didn't know the news, it wasn't worth five dollars?

But looking at the boss's huge body, he didn't have the courage to ask for it, so he had to pick up the album with Mike and turn around and leave the record store.

The merchants of San Francisco are profiteers!, he muttered to himself.

After spending five dollars to buy a message, which could not be wasted, the two returned to the car and asked their cousin to drive them towards the TV station.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening after recording the talk show, and the Black Hole Band got in the car and prepared to go back to the hotel.

As soon as the car drove out of the parking lot, the local driver suddenly braked suddenly, poked his head out and yelled: "Look at the road! Are you crazy?"

Outside the car window, two sixteen or seventeen-year-old white teenagers saw the Black Hole Band sitting in the back seat and excitedly shouted, "Black Hole!

"Fans?" Cao Wu was a little surprised, he didn't expect to come to San Francisco and meet fans, could it be arranged by the company?

But there were no cameras nearby, so it didn't look like a pose.

So, are you really a fan of the Black Hole band in the United States?

asked the driver to stop the car, and Cao Wu and a few people got out of the car.

I didn't expect to really run into the Black Hole Band, Mike and Charles were very happy, and when they got out of the car, they jumped forward, took out the album and handed it to them: "I'm your fan!

"Of course, how was your day?" Batu shook hands with them warmly: "What's your name?"

"My name is Charles!"

"Mike. ”

"Hello. Cao Wu also greeted them with a smile: "Where are you from?"

"Auckland, it was Andy who drove us over. Charles explained, "Andy is Mike's cousin. ”

"Oh, I see. Cao Wu nodded, touched his body, and did not bring a pen.

Xiao Guo on the side handed over a signature pen with a very eye-catching eye, and Cao Wu took it and signed his name on the album he handed over.

Batu and the others also signed the album, and Charles and Mike put it back in their backpacks.

What they didn't know was that the two albums were the first of the Black Hole's first autographed versions in the United States, and two decades later, the two albums each sold for more than $100,000 on online platforms.

"Your song "In the End" is amazing, I've heard it a thousand times!" Mike was excited.

Xiao Guo pulled Cao Wu and whispered, "It's almost time to go back, it's too late, it's dangerous outside." ”

Cao Wu nodded, then turned back to the two of them and said, "It's time for us to go back, thank you for your support." ”

Mike suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said, "Please wait a minute, can you wait for us for a while? ”

With that, they ran across the road.

There were some doubts, but Cao Wu and the others still waited for them for a while.

After a while, they ran back with two pianos in their arms.

"This is my guitar, can you sign it for me?

Seeing that Mike was also holding an electric guitar, Cao Wu smiled and asked, "Are you a band?"

"It's not. McHaha laughed and said, "But we have the idea, but the technology is not up to par." ”

Charles also nodded and said, "I've only been studying for half a year, and I had the idea after hearing your songs, and I want to be a guitarist like you!"

"You can. Cao Wu encouraged them.

"Why don't you learn bass, bass is cool too!" Lele joked.

Charles smiled awkwardly, and didn't know what to say.

"Just kidding. Lele laughed.

"It's time for us to go. ”

"Okay! Thank you. Charles and Mike were already satisfied, not only got the signed album, but also asked Cao Wu to sign the guitar.

"Come on. Cao Wu smiled: "I hope to perform on the same stage with you in the future!"

The two watched the Black Hole Band leave, felt deeply inspired, looked at each other, and said almost in unison, "Let's form a band!"

"Okay!

"How's the big handsome one?"

Back at the hotel, Cao Wu and the others did not rest immediately, but held a small meeting with the leaders of the marketing department in the hotel room with video software.

When it comes to the cooperation between the two companies and a series of publicity work, the two sides should maintain smooth communication at any time, and once there is a planned change, they must also negotiate and coordinate in time.

However, Columbia Records has a wide range of contacts in the United States, which can save a lot of trouble.

The marketing department of Xinghai Culture is mainly connected with Colombia for the promotion itinerary of the Black Hole Band, as well as the specific data of daily album sales.
