After a relaxing weekend, Monday soon came, and on this day, Chu Mo'er was going to the Juilliard School for official classes.

Song Yan and Mai Rena are going back to Montauk, Mai Ruina's team members have arrived in New York, the renovation of the office area of Lighthouse Records has also been completed, and the reopening of the lighthouse company is imminent, the two women must go back to resettle the staff and start to preside over the company.

In the early morning, two sports cars drove out of the rear cabin of the Swan, but only one came back in the morning, Ye Luo's car came back, and Song Yan drove a red sports car, carrying Merina straight to Montauk. From here to Montauk, it takes more than two hours to drive, which is much faster than taking a yacht.

After sending Chu Mo'er to school, the Swan pulled anchor and set sail, and began to drive slowly in the direction of Montauk.

It took a day and a night all the way, and it was Chavez who drove the boat, and he drove the ship when he was awake, and when he slept the ship dropped anchor.

Ye Luo concentrated on arranging, and when the Swan arrived at Lake Montauk, Chavez's first album of twelve songs, Ye Luo's arrangement sample was completed.

However, the album production zuò, the arrangement of the sample is only the first step, the main work, is still in the recording studio.

Ye Luo came slowly along the way, and finally waited for the recording studio to come out. The day after he arrived in Montauk, the new Lighthouse Records officially opened for business.

There will be no press conference or cocktail party for the opening.

Ye Luo and Hu Jianing, while smoking cigarettes, used cigarette butts at the door of the company, lit two strings of thousands of firecrackers bought from Chinatown, crackled for a while, and then Tang Jinxiu swept the door of the company with a broom, which was considered the opening celebration.

At the first internal meeting of the company after the opening, we were faced with a common problem - there was no money.

"We've brought in a total of $40 million." Song Yan calculated to Ye Luo one by one, "Buy a company and buy land, 30 million; yachts, cars, apartments, 7.5 million; Murrow. Chaves' new contract signing fee. Million; There are more than 20 people in the team of Marina, and this month's salary is 1.5 million. ”

After settling this account, Song Yan smiled at Ye Luo with a sense of accomplishment: "Ye Dong, you see, there is not a penny left." I'm spending more and more money now. ”

Ye Luo rolled his eyes: "Don't mess with me, Sister Mai's team's salary is not given now, what time is it today?" ”

"Well, there's one and a half million left." Song Yan smiled, "This is the starting capital for our first record." Ye Dong, it seems that he is a little stretched, do you want to transfer some funds to the California head office? ”

"No, you don't." Ye Luo shook his head, "Lao Ding, this guy has a lot of courage. Since I gave him $200 million as a starting capital, every penny of his money will be useful.

Now if I ask him for money, he will be involved there, and he will have to slap the table with me? Forget it, 1.5 million is 1.5 million, weren't we worse before? ”

"How many record sales stores does Beacon Records currently have in Los Angeles?" Merina asked.

"Poor one. Thirty. Song Yan shook her head, "They have the best record in the past ten years." It only sold 50,000 copies, and it is still a record of Chaves. ”

"How many record stores are there in New York?" Ye Luo asked.

"One hundred and forty-three." Song Yan looked at the text on the desk, "There were one hundred and forty-four last week, and one just went out of business." ”

"That's okay, one million to increase the number of doors, and there are still 500,000 left. Except for the cost of making the record, everything else is advertised. Ye Luo said, "By the way, Mr. Song, the poster on Times Square." You can change it for me. ”

"Okay." Song Yan smiled and nodded, "You will be a model in the evening, and I will draw another one for you." ”

"Don't draw me, Times Square is right next to Juilliard, and I don't want Mo'er to be laughed at at school." Ye Luo shook his head and pointed out the door, "Let's draw a lighthouse, a lighthouse record." ”

"Okay then." Song Yan responded.

……

In the following week, Ye Luoquan soaked in the recording studio, and together with Hu Jianing and Charlie, he worked hard to produce this new record of Zuò Chaves.

Chaves is very capable, his vocal skills are like a kaleidoscope of vocal music, there is a feeling of a male version of Song Yan, except for the Chinese folk singing, he has not been exposed to no way, what other rock, folk, jazz, country, soul, blues, blues, as long as it is singing, there is no him will not.

In the field of pop music, his only weakness is rapping. American rap music has a strong black cultural background, and Chaves, as a Hispanic white American, has not been exposed to much of this.

After recording this album, Ye Luo found that he was still a little conservative in his choice of songs, knowing that Chaves was so versatile, his choice of music style could be more daring.

But it's not too late to know now, anyway, Chaves is here, it's not a matter of one or two albums, he is the first male singer Ye Luo got in the United States, and there are a lot of good songs waiting for him to sing.

Chavez is a weirdo who is not good at words, and the new contract gave him a million dollars, all of which he donated to cancer research in the United States. Usually he stays in a wooden hut in the forest, doesn't seem to know what material enjoyment is, and lives an almost primitive life.

Ye Luo wants to go to sea or record a record, but his mobile phone can't contact him, he has no signal there, and he has to use the radio on the yacht.

Sometimes Ye Luo would go to see him and bring him a few fish that he had caught, and he would be very happy and take out the wine he brewed for Ye Luo to drink.

Of course, this wine is very difficult to drink, and I don't know what it is made of, and it smells earthy, so in front of Chaves, Ye Luo's amount of wine is very poor.

Ye Luo was a little curious about this person, but before he took the initiative to tell him about the past, Ye Luo would not gossip about it.

It was Friday, Ye Luo used the ship's radio to inform Chavez to come, and in the evening, he wanted to sail the boat to New York City again and spend the weekend with Chu Mo'er.

While waiting for Chaves to row over his sculls, Ye Luo sat on the bow of the boat to fish.

Recently, fishing has replaced fitness and has become Ye Luo's first hobby. In terms of fitness, now Ye Luo's body has been shaped, mainly eating, and dumbbells can be lifted occasionally.

Fish is a high-protein food. The fat content is not too much, which is the most suitable food for Ye Luo now.

Not long after the fishing line was put down, Ye Luo's mobile phone rang, and when he took it out, Ding Shaoyang called.

"Lao Ding, what's wrong?"

"Ye Dong. What have you been up to lately? Why has it been half a month, and there has been no movement at all? Ding Shaoyang's voice rang in the mobile phone, "What's the matter, I'll earn the money for you, and then you retire and enjoy life, right?" ”

"I'm only twenty-two years old, where can I retire?" Ye Luo said lazily.

"You're not retired, but you're making some noise." Ding Shaoyang said, "In the past, I was in China, preventing fire, theft, and leaf falling, and I had to live a worrying life. I'm afraid that you will suddenly make a move and overshadow me.

Now you haven't moved at all for half a month, I'm not used to it! ”

Ye Luo was amused: "According to what you say, you're making a move now, right?" ”

"Of course." Ding Shaoyang said with a smile, "The three new singers, now they have one record per person, have all been completed, and they will be released simultaneously in the California music market and Leshi Network tomorrow."

Xiao Qiong's new record. At present, I have finished arranging the sample, and I will start the official recording tomorrow.

I said Ye Dong. You have too few singers left for me, I can't do it, or Merina and Mr. Song, you can also borrow me for two days, and I will release two new albums for them. ”

"Don't make a fuss." Ye Luo rolled his eyes, "How long has it been since these two people's new albums were released." ”

"Haha. Just kidding. Ding Shaoyang said, "I'm already looking for a new singer, Merina's network is really deep, and the gossip continues, not to mention bars all over California." Even in school, as long as a good little singer comes out, I know it earlier than anyone else.

The problem of too few singers will be solved soon.

Oh yes, old man Richard, didn't you ask me to send him a ballad score last time?

This old man is not bad, and he has made friends with me.

In the past two days, he was talking to me about the release of the Belle Company's records in Europe.

You also know that this old man's Warner Records, headquartered in the United Kingdom, is the boss of the European music market, and if he can catch his boat, it seems to be pretty good.

Ye Dong, what do you think? ”

Ye Luo nodded: "Warner Records is also a parent record company with global promotion capabilities, and their main market is in Europe, so it does not conflict with us. ”

"That's what I mean." Ding Shaoyang said.

"Okay, you can continue to talk to him." Ye Luo said, "Let's cooperate initially, and when there are more contacts, I'll see if there is any possibility of further strategic cooperation." ”

"That's fine." Ding Shaoyang responded, and then said, "By the way, you hurry up and make some noise, don't be compared to me." ”

"Oh, Lao Ding, now that you are your own person, I originally wanted to wait for you to come first, and then I will go slowly, so as not to overshadow you." Ye Luo smiled, "But look at your death, okay, I'll fulfill you."

Tomorrow I have a new album here that will also be released in New York and put it on Music.com.

Your three records, all the physical sales and downloads combined, more than mine, I count you as a winner, how about it? ”

"It's kind of interesting." Ding Shaoyang was interested, "What should we bet on?" ”

"It's no fun to gamble." Ye Luo said, "Indecent. ”

"Oh, so what are you going to bet on?" Ding Shaoyang asked.

"Shares, five percent." Ye Luo smiled, "If you win this time, ten percent of the shares of the beauty company will belong to you, then you will be the third largest shareholder after me and Song Yan." If you lose, your stake is gone. ”

", you want me to work for you for nothing." Ding Shaoyang shouted.

"Lao Ding, why don't you have any confidence at all?" Ye Luo said with a smile.

"I don't bet on shares anyway. Uh......" Ding Shaoyang hesitated for a long time and said, "Let's bet on dinner, right?" ”

Ye Luo shook his head and hung up the phone with a lonely face. (To be continued......)
