'APLUS's voice has changed and become a little thicker, and I really like his debut song I Feel It Coming, and when he performs live again in an unplugged concert, it's easy to hear the difference from the studio version, and the details are even less MJ'......

"Come on man, that's a song released in '90, five years, how old was APLUS at the time, sixteen? It's normal for sixteen-year-old African-American boys to imitate MJ's style, but he's now completely carved out his own style of music. ”

"Is the span of his two albums that long? Sorry, I don't remember......"

"You do have a problem with your memory, and APLUS's first album was released in May '92, more than three years ago. In the middle of 94, he also released the Dancing My Life Soundtrack, which can actually be regarded as a solo album, and the songs in it are all written and composed by himself, and he participated in singing most of them. As a singer-songwriter, he's not prolific, but his quality is undoubtedly top-notch, with trailblazing achievements in both experimental genres and new synths. ”

"The first order was issued in 90, and the first special was issued in 92?"

"It seems that there was a conflict with Sony Columbia Records in the middle, and it is understandable that he was young and vigorous at the time, and he was still one of the few singers who could sell out singles and discs, and now the momentum reminds me of MJ in the 80s."

"MJ has been promoted to the level of capital in the record industry."

“APLUS……”

"I KNOW APLUS IS VERY GOOD AT INVESTING IN THE TECH INDUSTRY, AND HE SEEMS TO BE RICHER THAN MJ IN THE FUSBEE CHARTS, BUT IN THE RECORD INDUSTRY, HE'S STILL BEING HELD DOWN BY MJ, RIGHT? MJ is even one of his bosses, and he now pays MJ's ATV/Sony library when he publicly sings songs like I Feel It Coming. ”

"Don't you get tired of playing with old terriers? How many years have you mocked Paul McCottney with this phrase! ”

"Wow, don't get excited, man, there's no 'us' here."

"Don't be weird with me, who doesn't know you're a die-hard fan of MJ!"

"What about you? APLUS? If you want me to say that he is getting more and more depraved, there is a single with a grand idea like Where Is The Love in the first album, and what is left in the second album now? I'm rich, I'm so rich...... That's it! ”

"Haha, you guy is really annoying, I'm going to settle accounts with you today......"

'Bang! ’

Suddenly there was a muffled sound on the radio, as if the microphone had dropped on something, and then the signal interference sound was mixed with the host's exhortation.

Song Ya was expressionless and reached out to turn off the radio, and looked at the lawn outside through the gap in the curtain on the second floor.

Ms. Sloan was there talking to a tall black man in a suit and leather shoes, saying something she couldn't hear, but Songya wondered why Remy, a top lobbyist for energy giants like the Koch brothers, would chase her all the way to San Marino......

"Oh! NASTY, APLUS, YOU'RE DELIBERATELY DISTRACTING, AREN'T YOU? ”

Xue Linfen, who was lying on the edge of the window, complained and fell to the big bed, her chest rising and falling like a puppy on the floor in summer.

"But I haven't ...... yet"

"You can figure it out yourself, I don't have any strength, sorry ......" Xue Linfen smiled and wrapped herself in a thin quilt.

Outside, Ms. Sloan seemed to have negotiated with Remy, and as one of the few black lobbyists in Washington, Remy seemed to guess that he was observing, waved his hand in the direction of the villa, and got into his car not far away to start and leave.

"What are you looking for me for?"

He had no choice but to go to the study first and ask Sloane, who had come back to report, as soon as possible.

"A+CN, Gordon is attacking conservative state police officers for over-policing blacks, and Remy is asking us to restrain ourselves." Sloane frowned, looking keenly at Song Ya.

"We've been targeted by a small station like ours?" Song Ya cocked Erlang's legs and smiled.

"Gordon now sees this kind of news as a lifesaver, and it is broadcast with high intensity." "A lot of it was first-hand, it was widely quoted and discussed by other black media, and there was a rally of hundreds of thousands of African-Americans in Washington last month......

"Ratings are improving?" Song Ya asked.

"It should be a little, you should ask your professionals, my concern is that the politician has already commanded Remy to come over to say hello, so now it's our turn to decide how to respond." Sloan replied.

"Which politicians?"

"I don't know, Remy won't reveal the specific name, but based on his hints, I guess there must be John Warren and Senator McKenn, I know a little bit about Remy's connections in Washington, didn't you see them together last time? In the Congress Dining Hall. And perhaps politicians in North Carolina, Tennessee, Arizona, and elsewhere, because Gordon's main targets are police in places like Charlotte, Memphis, and Phoenix, where African-Americans gather. ”

Sloan tilted his head to look at him, "Are we going to show goodwill to the people behind Remy?" ”

"How do you show affection? Behind him are all elephant politicians, and Gordon is a hardcore donkey party......" Song Ya rubbed his eyebrows.

"APLUS, AREN'T YOU IN THE NEWS MEDIA JUST TO HAVE THIS DAY? That's not a lucrative business...... Or am I wrong about you? Sloan smiled.

"Okay, okay, I'm going to talk to Gordon? Or do you go? ”

John Warren and McKenn helped themselves with textile quotas, and Song Ya didn't think about it for long.

"No, you call and hint at Gordon, he is a senior media person, he should be able to understand, just be careful not to leave him with a handle to write a memoir."

Sloan personally taught media bosses how to talk to managers.

"Gordon, it's me, how is A+CN doing lately? Ratings are improving? That's great, what does Comcast say......"

I first looked for something to say and greeted him, "By the way, I've read our last few episodes of the evening news, is the range of choices too single?" Except for the Simpson case, most of the rest of the time was given to those and local police officers ......"

"Black people who are being treated illegally care about that, and ratings surveys can prove it." Gordon didn't seem to react, and replied on the other end of the phone.

"I know, it's better to think about it in the long term, right? Now the overall tone of our news is too depressing. Song Ya continued to hint, "Don't you think? ”

"Then you think I should ......"

"Haha, don't think too much about Gordon, I'm not going to interfere with your work, I'm just calling you out of the feelings of a regular viewer, if you don't think it makes sense, don't bother with it."

"Okay, thank you APLUS, I'll take it into account, by the way, what about the opinions of other people around you? What do they think of the quality of A+CN's recent programs? I want to hear it all, and it would be nice to be specific. Gordon said.

"By my side?"

Song Ya looked up at Sloane, and after receiving an affirmative signal, he replied, "Ms. Sloan has some other opinions, let her communicate with you." ”

"Okay."

Sloan soon received a call from Gordon, who was chatting with Song Ya on her phone, mostly talking about the Congress.

"I didn't understand, will Gordon understand?" Song Ya felt a little like a cloud mountain fog cover.

"He should understand."

"He doesn't want to take all the news down, so he's asking me what I can keep and what needs to be ......handled gently," Sloan said.

"So that whole bunch of politician names you just pulled out represent a city or a state, right? But they're not the people behind Remy, they're just referential ......"

Song Ya also understood a little.

Sloan snapped his fingers, "Clever, I can't leave it to someone like Gordon to write ......"

"The handle of the memoir." Song Ya accurately reread, "What if Gordon says one thing and does another, and is unwilling to comply?" ”

"If you don't understand the hints, replace them, and there will be people who are good at observing words and feelings." "It's going to take a long time to find a balance between meeting the needs of politicians or other big names and running a news station, and Gordon is no different," Sloan said. ”

"It's like us singers going to the radio station to do events, right?"

Song Ya drew inferences, "If I'm too boring, even if I give money to those little DJs for public relations, they won't invite you to the show, because if there is no listening rate, my public relations fee is only a small amount of money in front of the job." If there is a singer who is good at creating the effect of the show and is willing to give money, it is a win-win situation for the DJs, and everyone is happy. The news station completely knelt down and licked the words of those politicians, and the credibility and ratings were over, and the value to the politicians was lost, and there must be a so-called balance point that you said. ”

"Very APLUS understood." Sloan slapped his hands a few times in appreciation.

"I'm going to keep some of the coverage low-key."

In Chicago, Gordon immediately held a meeting with several senior executives of A+CN behind closed doors, "Polls show that the atmosphere of the recent episodes of the show is too depressing." ”

"Ratings are rising." The subordinates questioned.

"It's not up fast enough to meet the milestones we signed with Comcast, and it needs to change, and it needs to change."

Gordon flipped through the press release in his hand, "Retractions in Arizona and Virginia, and seditious statements in Tennessee." ”

"Then all that's left is Charlotte, North Carolina." The subordinate said.

"yes, focus on that, and I'm not going to bow down to Jesse Helms, the Ku Klux Klan in North Carolina." Gordon said categorically.

After the evening news broadcast of A+CN, the staff of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee's office gently closed the door and solemnly reported to an old white male politician lying behind his desk who was lying behind his desk, "A+CN seems to be courting McKenn." ”

"Where's my North Carolina?" The old white man asked.

"The intensity of the defamation is still very high."

"I see, call the FBI's Director Freese, now."
