ACT Records' marketing director for New Zealand is Schroeder Salavin, an energetic, well-mannered middle-aged white man who immediately reaches out to Reddy and asks him to talk. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Reddy, of course, has been known for this record label for a long time, and he was first surprised and then a little hesitant when he received the call: "Hello, Mr. Salavon, it's a pleasure to receive your call, but I haven't been able to travel far lately......"

He knew why ACT was looking for him, it was an opportunity, but he was a little hesitant to leave Sunset Town and Volcano Bar.

Schroeder smiled, "Don't travel far, Reddy, my star, I've come to Sunset Town, I'm in private room two at the Little Gardenia Cafe, and I hope to be lucky enough to meet you." ”

Reddy's spirits perked up when he heard that the other party had arrived, which showed the importance that ACT Records valued them. It's an exciting thing for him, who has lacked a sense of identity in music for many years.

In that case, I have to meet people, otherwise it seems that I am rude? With this in mind, he hung up the phone, quickly went to Ryan and the other three, and told the matter.

Knowing that a director came directly from the ACT side, and the other three were also proud, Badman said happily: "Then what are we waiting for?" Let's take a look. ”

Ryan was older after all, and he quickly calmed down and motioned for the three little brothers to sit down: "Don't worry, Reddy, go and call Mr. Salavin and tell him that we can clean up and go over, it's ugly to wear makeup now." Then, let's have an internal meeting to unify our opinions. ”

The first topic to discuss was whether or not to leave Sunset Town and go to ACT Records.

Tutu looked at the three people: "Maybe we don't have to rush to talk about this, who dares to say that people must have taken a fancy to us?" ”

Badman shook his head and said, "Forget it, man, don't kid yourself, Auckland is not close to here, he must have driven on the road in the morning, and he came here after a day's drive, do you think he will come to meet us?" ”

Reddy said: "Yes, he definitely wants to sign us, but guys, I don't want to leave Sunset so early, I just ended my contract yesterday, are we going to leave today?" ”

"yes, I don't think that's good." Tutu agreed with Reddy, "I mean, we're actually happy here, what do we want?" Money? A fan of someone? Lamplight? We all have them now, don't we? ”

Badman sighed, "You're right, but that's all we want?" I want to win the Golden Microphone Award for New Zealand Music, I want to go to the American Grammy podium, I want to go anywhere, even in the wilderness of Africa, and when I meet a person, he will point to me and say, "Man, I've heard your songs, I like your songs!" ”

It's the dream of all people who make music, especially street singers.

Reddy was moved by Bardman's words, he looked at Ryan and said, "Brother, what do you say?" ”

Ryan pondered for a while, and said: "ACT is a good choice, so is Sunset Town, we set a bottom line, if we can achieve this bottom line, we go to ACT, if we can't reach it, we will stay in Sunset Town first." ”

Tutu suddenly smiled: "Good idea, boss, you can attack and retreat, I like this method." ”

Later, they discussed several more concerns, and then prepared to go to negotiate with Salavin.

"Give the boss a call, tell him the current situation, no matter what the final result is, we have to let him know, let him know that our sunset group is not a villain who forgets his righteousness." Ryan said.

“ok。”

The Little Gardenia Cafe is located in the east of the center of Sunset Town, and you can see this café as soon as you enter the town, which is opened by a Christchurch barista, thanks to the large number of tourists in Sunset Town and the size of Daqin Cafe, his business is also good.

When the four of Ryan appeared at the door of the café, they attracted the attention of some people, and someone shouted, "Hey, Sunset Combo!" Hey, Reddy Kid! ”

Reddy, who walked in front, showed a big smile, just like his mood.

More than a dozen people gathered around and asked for a photo with them, and they now have a good reputation, but they are not big stars yet, so there is no sensation after they appear.

But it's also nice to be a star, it's the same inner thoughts of the four.

Schroeder saw this scene from the window, and he smiled at the assistant next to him: "Good job." ”

In fact, these people are not real fans, they are hired by them, and they are considered water army. It is true that the songs of the Sunset Group have become popular, and they are still popular overnight.

But in the town, people usually see them a lot, and they don't take the initiative to come up and ask for autographs and group photos, after all, these things can be found in bars.

Someone in the New Zealand branch of ACT Records specifically stared at the New Zealand music network, their album was heard for the first time, the first feedback was given, and the company's leaders also held a meeting for the first time and decided to take them down.

Schroeder inquired about the Sunset group before he arrived, and came up with a plan that was enough to impress them, and the first step was to give the four of them a taste of what it was like to be a star.

However, it is not easy to do this well, there are fewer people to find and there is no shock, and more people to find will make four people suspicious, and the final decision is the scale of fifteen people.

When the four people walked into the private room, Schroeder had been waiting for a long time, and politely invited the four to sit down.

Starting from the album with the roar of songs, he used superb communication methods, talking about CDs, music, and albums, but not talking about the idea that ACT wanted to sign four people.

Schroeder's conversation skills are very superb, and when he found that the four of them didn't want to talk, he still had a killer idea, took out a disc and put it on the table and said: "Oh, I almost forgot, before I came, our general manager asked me to bring you a gift, this is a collaborative-LP album, I hope you can like it." ”

Collaborative-LP was ACT Records' first dense album, and its publication was an epoch-making product for the company, setting the stage for a more diverse production, and it was unique to ACT.

It's not a light gift, the Collaborative-LP album has been around for almost 40 years, and it has long been out of print, and a first-edition Collaborative-LP album can sell for at least 100,000 New Zealand dollars to enthusiasts and collectors!

It can be seen from this that ACT Records is indeed very optimistic about the four people.
