Saying goodbye to Cooper, Song Ya went out of his way to buy a CD of his new album to listen to, and the whole album was full of women, drugs, money, street gangs and violence, typical gangster rap. It seems that in the face of the accusation that the black community is 'not enough on the street', he chose a more street-like way to deal with it, and no records or movies were left behind.

With the popularity of the second-hand store single, it is inevitable that Old Joe and Little Lowry will mention themselves when they do interviews, and now outsiders know that the songwriter of the second-hand store APLUS is a good boy with excellent character and learning, which is a compliment, but to some extent, it will also cause a gap with some black groups, such as Cooper is now facing it.

Not to mention that the black music scene in New York has already had a bit of a 'misunderstanding' with itself.

"Don't learn from him."

During the flight, Hayden took off his headphones, "Cooper's singing of these things will attract the attention of law enforcement, and I heard that white anti-narcotics police in some places will quietly stuff 'gifts' into their unpleasant black cars, and if they are not careful, their lives will be over." ”

"I won't."

Since the crossing, Song Ya has been very careful, he doesn't drive without a driver's license, he even tries to avoid skirmishes on campus, and participates in some high-level affirmative action activities, which is completely opposite to Cooper's.

But Cooper's theory does make some sense, gathering the power of black DJs to influence the Billboard rankings, and then 'bringing goods' to sell records......

Song Ya carefully simulated it in his mind, and felt that this set of things could not be played by himself, it was very simple, the black DJs of small and medium-sized radio stations had low incomes and poor overall quality, and if they relied purely on money to maintain their relationship, they would soon be unable to satisfy the greedy appetite of these people. Unless you have a gang background like Old Joe, and there is an invisible stick behind the carrot of money, the two can work together to make those DJs honest and obedient. And even Lao Qiao can only have two thin noodles in Chicago, and he is like a full bag in New York.

"I have a gang background, I have a certain reputation in the local black community, especially in the music industry, and I have to have a lot of money." Song Ya simply sketched a character who can achieve things, "Even this kind of person can only be regional, after all, gangs are very regional, the east coast, the west coast, the central region where Chicago is located, and the south...... At least four or five powerful people have to work together......"

"What am I doing here, organizing a mafia?" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, and threw the thought out of his head.

This time back in New York, Song Ya went straight to SBK's best recording studio, 'Oak Barrel'.

Named after the oak-coloured strips of sound absorption in the studio, the 'Oak Barrel' is SBK's state-of-the-art recording studio, which is so large that in addition to the singers, you can also cram in a band and a backing chorus.

Mira in the studio was wearing headphones and swaying her body slightly to the music, not noticing the arrival of Song Ya outside, it could be seen that she was in good shape, SBK even moved a small bar, with a beautiful cocktail on it, she bit the straw from time to time and took a sip.

In front of the wide mixing table sat two of SBK's biggest mixers, White Man, Eric and Al, next to them.

“APLUS？ The two new synths you made were good, and at first I thought DeLay had the synth setting wrong. Perhaps Daniel had warned that the two tuners only talked about work-related matters, and treated Eric and Al politely keeping their distance, and couldn't find fault with them at all.

"Thank you." Song Ya shook hands with them, "How was the recording?" ”

"The rehearsal has worked well, in fact, we already have a few more satisfactory versions, just waiting for you to come." A tuner pulled out a few CDs from the CD rack in front of him.

"Then let's hear it." Song Ya said.

"Yes." He slipped the CD into the record player.

Song Ya picked a version that was closest to the original song, and then put forward a few comments, all of which were very subtle.

"That's a good idea, we'll fix it as you want." Another tuner agreed, turned on the microphone and said inside, "Take a break for a while, and then we'll modify the following areas......"

Mira only found out about Song Ya's arrival at this time, and instantly smiled happily, first sent Ji Fei a kiss through the glass, and then rushed out and threw herself into Song Ya's arms, "Honey, I miss you so much." ”

"Me too." Song Ya kissed her forehead.

Everyone else in the studio was busy with their own eyes.

But immediately a call came in, "Daniel wants to see you." Eric answered the phone and reminded Song Ya: "He has changed offices, but he is still on the same floor. ”

By the way, Daniel's title has changed from Vice President of Marketing at SBK to Vice President and General Manager of SBK.

Song Ya was happy to hear it.

“APLUS！ Come in, watch out for the ground. ”

Daniel's new office is very large, with an invincible skyline outside the window, many workers are moving cardboard boxes in, the female assistant silently takes out items from the cardboard boxes and places them on the cabinet next to the wall, while he is playing golf very leisurely, there is even an indoor miniature fairway on the floor, and with the slight swing of his club, the white golf ball slowly rolls down the fairway into the hole.

"Congratulations, Daniel." Song Ya complimented.

"Haha, thank you, how's it going?" He took the golf ball out of the hole and put it back in its original position.

"I'm very satisfied, and a little bit of modification will do the trick."

"Perfect!" The ball went into the hole again, "When this song is recorded, we will start promoting the itinerary immediately, and when the time comes...... APLUS: You have to adapt to the change of character. ”

"I know, I have to go back to school." Song Ya knew that when this single was recorded, his first career as a producer would come to an end, and the follow-up promotion was SBK's business, and he could give advice, but he had no real power to interfere.

"Haha, I almost forgot, you're still a high school student." Daniel laughed.

The two chatted casually, and Song Ya found that on the desk behind Daniel, a magazine had been opened, just in time to reveal a color photo of Mariah Carey.

"You know?" After a little more look, Daniel noticed something unusual.

"Yesterday in Detroit, I met her by chance." Song Ya replied that he didn't want to tell Daniel about seeing Motula.

"Auburn Hills Palace?" Daniel turned the golf club upside down and tapped the picture of Mariah Carey with the handle, "Overwhelming, you see, the sound amazes the palace of Auburn Hills, yesterday's incident has been on the major music media today, it seems that Motura is touting her as the next DIVA." Hum! He also made up a Cinderella story, saying what a chance encounter at a banquet, jokes! For Mariah Carey, he and Warner Records spent 350,000 dollars on the bidding alone! Then it was carefully cultivated for two years, how did it come this year? It's all for this woman to divorce his wife. ”

After he finished the gossip, he sneered and said: "Warner has Madonna and Cher, BMG has Whitney Houston, Polygram has Jenny Jackson and Paula, but Columbia's Barbra Streisand is old, and they are starting to sit still!" ”

"Motura looks down on you, you look down on Motula, that sentence is really true, peers are enemies!" Song Ya complained silently, and wanted to ask him who SBK was, but he couldn't help it, and heard that SBK's owners, EMI Records and Columbia Records, had a lot of grievances and hatreds, so I was careful not to irritate him.

"It's no surprise that Mariah Carey's single will be at the top of the Billboard, but our second-hand store is not doing well, and it is estimated that it will drop a dozen spots in the sixth week."

Daniel gets back to the point, "It's time for little Lowry to make some news out of Bobo's eyeballs...... When we are about to fall out of the top 50, we will release the studio version of the second-hand store, and then we will have a remixed version of the dance music next time...... In short, be sure to stay in front of the billboard for fifty long enough. ”

"This is the so-called grinding list, right?" Song Ya asked.

"Grind!"

Daniel was categorical, "Grind until there is no grinding, and we'll throw out Lori Jr.'s garbage album to make one last penny." ”

"Isn't this what Motura calls the future of overdrawn singers? …… It seems that Motura's words are right, although Daniel's strategy can be sold in a short time, but the audience of Little Lowry in the future is only afraid that it will be difficult to get better......" Song Ya thought secretly in his heart.
