Chapter 46: Escuber's Theory of Bringing Goods

"The president visited in person, how much Sony Columbia Records values Mariah Carey goes without saying, you won't move out of that theory of who X is X who X is who, right?"

Hayden was afraid that Song Ya would make trouble, "Sony Columbia is the top in both the record and film industries, they are the rule makers. ”

"You think too much......"

Mariah Carey is in good shape and beautiful, but Song Ya recalled the tone and demeanor when she interacted with Motura just now, and said that he didn't believe that there was nothing between the two, so naturally he wouldn't have the idea of intervening again, "She's older than me, right?" ”

"Of course, she seems to be about twenty years old." Hayden felt that Song Yazhen didn't have any lust, so he stopped admonishing.

Early the next morning, the two hurried to the radio station, and the interview time passed for half an hour.

After the end, the radio host was very dissatisfied, and all the ambushes set up were ignored by Song Ya, resulting in the whole interview having no program effect at all.

He mentioned the Bulls' fiasco in the Eastern Conference finals not long ago, and Song Ya replied that he didn't watch basketball much and didn't understand this.

Then he complained that Old Joe didn't dare to come, and pretended to inadvertently mention the relationship between Old Joe and GD (gang name: the Gangster Disciples gangster gospel, Hell Bobtail is its branch), Song Ya also pretended not to hear, only said that he respected Lao Qiao very much, and it was Lao Qiao who gave him a chance.

He began to talk about the current chaos of law and order in the black neighborhoods of Detroit and Chicago, and Song Ya shifted the conversation to the injustices suffered by black people, and then to the current situation in South Africa and his new song, To De Klerk.

Following the injustice suffered by black people, he began to seduce Song Ya to talk about white people in SBK, Song Ya said that she was generally satisfied with the status of black people in the record industry, we have the Jackson siblings, and we have Whitney Houston Yunyun.

Following the status of black people in the record industry, he turned the topic to Hollywood, where in addition to Denzel Washington, other popular ones such as Eddie Murphy, Whoopi Goldberg could only play harlequins such as gags, and Morgan Freeman's recent award-winning role was nothing more than a driver for a Jewish old woman.

Song Ya said that Hollywood is not familiar with it......

"Are you the press spokesman sent by Old Joe?" The host took off the headphones and complained to his face.

Song Ya shrugged, "I'm only fifteen years old, so I have to be careful. ”

"If you don't say I thought you were fifty!" The host laughed angrily.

Coming out of the broadcast studio, Hayden led a group of gangsters to wait outside, "APLUS, let me introduce you, this is Escubber, Cooper, this is APLUS." He introduced the first one to Song Ya.

Escubus is a former member of N.W.A.'s team, and he fell out last year and went on his own, and last month he also released a new album, which seems to be called Amerikkka's Most Wanted. He is only about 20 years old, bearded, always looking at others with his head held high, wearing a dark blue match, jeans, sweatshirt, and baseball cap are all dark blue, and there is a floral letter 'D' on the front of the hat, which is the team logo of Detroit's local Major League baseball team Tigers, and it is a bit rare to see the golden three-piece suits of other black stars on him.

"Hey......" Song Ya hurriedly bumped fists with the rap industry veteran in front of him.

“YO! APLUS, SO YOU'RE SO YOUNG...... How old do you think he is? Cooper and the attendants around him pointed at Song Ya and laughed, and then put their hands around Song Ya's shoulders, "Let's go over and talk." ”

Song Ya glanced at Hayden, who nodded to indicate that it was okay.

Cooper is currently at a disadvantage in the air-and-go war with his old N.W.A. friends, and the situation goes something like this:

Cooper said that he was replaced by the 'Big E' (N. W.A founders) pit a lot of money.

'Big E' said that your parents are UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) employees, and they don't belong to our street at all, pretending to be some gang rapper......

Cooper said he wrote half of N.W.A. words.

'Big E' says you don't belong on our streets.

Cooper said he had contributed a lot to the N.W.A.

'Big E' says you don't belong on our streets.

Cooper said......

'Big E' says you don't belong on our street anyway.

In this way, public opinion in the black community is really biased towards the 'big E', as if being born in a high-knowledge family and being well-educated is the original sin.

However, Cooper is a very smart person, he lost face in the scolding war, won the lizi, most of the songs in the new album were written in the scolding war, relying on the offense and defense of both sides to win a lot of attention, indirectly saving a lot of publicity costs, the new album is not difficult to get a gold record (500,000 sales).

He didn't have any malice, he happened to be doing a program on the radio, and when he heard an interview with Song Ya on the radio, he knew that he was the one who wrote about the second-hand store, so he came to get to know him, and by the way, he invited Song and pulled investment for his film project.

"Movies?" Song Ya naturally didn't have a song for him, but he was surprised to hear that the other party was also making a movie.

"Yay! It was invested by Columbia Pictures and is a street story about the teenagers of our lame gang (a black national gang with roots in California), and joined the group at the end of the year. ”

Cooper pulled out the corner of the lame bandana, white on a blue background, from the pocket of his jeans, "Look, I'm a real cripple, everyone recognizes me." ”

It seems that he has been stunned by the 'big E', and he has to prove his street attributes to anyone he meets.

turned out to be invested by the same company as Mila's movie, and the time to join the group was about the same, Song Ya originally wanted to ask about the situation again, but as soon as she saw that she was involved with the gang, she immediately pretended not to be interested.

However, Cooper's speech and thinking are obviously much higher than those of other black people from the bottom of the family, and Song Ya happened to ask him for some record marketing skills.

"I know, you like to rely on big labels...... "Cooper winked at him and grinned, "SBK, right?" I've heard what they have to say about you when I'm running propaganda in New York. ”

The 'they' here is undoubtedly referring to the black music scene in New York.

"Uh...... I have some misunderstandings with them...... Song Ya hurriedly defended, "Those black girls don't meet my requirements, I'm only fifteen years old, and I can't think of it that deeply." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's all a minor problem, I'll see them for you later." Cooper sold well, "As for selling records......

He said: "What is the purpose of propaganda? It's nothing more than selling more records, and what kind of publicity as long as it can sell records, in layman's terms, it is good publicity to be able to bring goods. You see, the big white record companies have a firm grip on the TV station, and MTV, Saturday Night Live, the Oprah show, current affairs news, and big competitions can all take the opportunity to market records, and there is nothing to say about the ability to bring goods. We blacks have no chance to go it alone, but what if we work together......"

"Is there a chance?" Song Ya didn't feel it.

"Of course there's a chance, did you know there's a super-capable thing, the Billboard list?" Cooper asked.

"Yes."

"The Billboard Singles Chart is not a purely sales-based chart, and because of its long history, radio broadcasts have a lot of weight in it. And now the radio station ...... I've been all over the country over the years, and because of the rise of the television media, white people are generally not optimistic about the prospects of radio stations, thinking that they will be eliminated sooner or later, so now in the radio stations, our own people (the black community) have gradually occupied the majority of DJ positions. If someone can unite all the black DJs in the whole country and push the same song at the same time, then this song will inevitably be pushed to the front of the billboard in an instant, and now everyone is chasing pop, won't the record be a big hit? ”

Song Ya felt that Cooper's theory of bringing goods was very innovative and could make sense, but he quickly found the crux of the problem, "What if the white people changed the way the weight of the billboard was calculated?" ”

"Uh...... This ......"

Cooper was asked, "The white man controls everything, and if that happens, our path will be completely blocked, and we can only wait for the future to see what new media will appear." ”
