The group left the underground nightclub, and Song Ya followed Big A into his broadcast studio.

At the end of the forty-minute live interview, he felt good, but Big A angrily took off his headphones, "Are you here to me?" This is a radio interview, not a press conference! ”

"I'm sorry, I'm a little more strict, but it's always right to be careful."

Song Ya shrugged, the last time he participated in an interview in Detroit, he was complained by the other host with similar words, he would rather be boring than say the wrong thing anyway.

"You can't do that, APLUS."

Big A let the little brother go on top, pulled Song Ya out of the broadcast studio, walked into his small office, and closed the door, "What do you think the DJs care about the most?" He asked.

"Money?" Song Ya will invest 20,000 dollars in New York and New Jersey this time, 10,000 in Chicago, and 5,000 in Detroit, all of which will be used to 'thanks' the small and medium-sized black DJs, and they can get 500 to 1 or 200 dollars for one time during the promotion period.

“NO！”

Although Big A also got a lot of money from Song Ya, he still objected loudly, "Everyone is short of money, but what we DJs value most is the listening rate!" Do you know the listening rate? No one listens to music radio, we black DJs who don't have much culture are not, and we are not far from being fired or going bankrupt, what's the use of taking your little favor? And without the listening rate, will you still invest money in them? ”

“emmm……”

Song Ya thought for a while, and it seemed to be such a reason, "That is to say, with the listening rate, they can get the money for the promotion of the record company, but with the money for promotion, their listening rate will decline, so they can't even get this money?" ”

"Uh, don't talk around, I'm a little dizzy."

Big A said: "I'll be blunt, take money to help promote, which didn't say, but one: the quality of the promoted songs must not be too bad, otherwise excessive praise will lead to the loss of audiences and a decrease in listening rate." Two: When you accept the interview, you must cooperate and make the interview interesting, which can help the DJ retain the audience, otherwise the listening rate of an interview with you will drop by two points, no matter which DJ, even if he takes your money this time, he will stay away from you next time. ”

"I see."

Song Ya understood, although the talk show was intended to promote the song, as an interviewee, he also had the responsibility not to make the show too boring. All in all, the show was interesting, the listening rate increased, the radio DJ received the money to do the work and did a good job, and everyone was happy and win-win. On the contrary, it is a lose-lose situation, and the other party's listening rate will be unlucky, and he will not dare to collect his own money to help promote it in the future.

"But ......"

Song Ya thought about it again, and felt that there was a big problem here, "Most of the small and medium-sized black DJs are characters who are full of style, not to mention that there are some people who have the purpose of inducing me to say the wrong thing and make big news, I am just over sixteen years old, and I can't cope with it." ”

Big A sighed, "Then you just reduce your participation in interviews, and just let the DJ help push the song, don't say it's good, say less and make fewer mistakes." ”

"Brilliant and incisive! Simple, effective! ”

Song Ya feels more and more that this big A is a talent, he is very busy, and he has no energy to deal with the language traps of various styles of DJs from all walks of life, and many 'stalks' can't be catched, so simply, I'll take the money for you to do things, just help me rush to the billboard singles chart, as for the interview, it's free.

Song Ya, who accepted Big A's 'advice', changed the follow-up itinerary, with the first purpose of rushing to the list, and other interviews and other details were pushed to save energy, and everyone saved trouble.

On the 27th, on a major radio station in Chicago, the host DJ of a well-known music program came to the broadcast studio, saw the vinyl record on the table, picked it up, casually put a pile of twenty knives pressed under it into his pocket, put on headphones and asked, "Whose song?" ”

"Aplus, Columbia Records." The staff who participated in Song Ya's body replied.

"That APLUS who wrote about second-hand stores?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, he picked up the vinyl record and studied it, waiting for the show to start, "Hey! Ladies and gentlemen, we meet again......" After telling a little joke, "today we come to listen to a new song, from the second-hand store and to the songwriter APLUS of De Klerk!" This kid is also from Chicago, and he has a bright future, so I tell you......"

When I feel it coming started playing, he muttered, "Why is this song so MJ......"

Mai returned to him and immediately changed his tone, "Wow, wow, wow...... It's a song with a very new style, a lot of electronic music, and I believe it was influenced by the recent HOUSE music that has been popular in Chicago, and it has taken it a step further and added ......"

Later, at another small radio station, Al stood outside the broadcast room and bumped fists with a DJ to say goodbye, and soon after he left, a thick black voice came from inside, "I didn't say it, APLUS is the same as little Lowry, they are their own people, listen to it and it's over, I feel it coming~I feel it coming~I feel it coming, baby ......"

In New York, the big-name white host who put down Steven's phone muttered, "It's strange that Atlantic Records actually asked me to take care of the singer of Columbia Records." ”

The black guest next to him subconsciously pressed the pocket of his pants with 500 knives, "I feel it coming, right?" I've heard this song, the quality is good, and there's nothing wrong with helping to push it. ”

"Then let's push and see." The presenter reached for the record player and found that the vinyl record I feel it coming had been placed on it.

In New Jersey, at night, a DJ walked downstairs to the radio station and smiled at the cars parked outside, "Hey! Wave Kid! I heard that you changed your name to NAS, right? Hahaha...... What, still doing errands? ”

"Shut your beak."

NAS gave him a middle finger and flew a boxed CD over.

The other party caught it, opened the plastic lid of the CD case, and several green rice knives came into view, "Boy, you have been sensible recently!" The other party closed the lid with satisfaction, "No problem, wrap it around me." ”

The NAS starts the car and rushes to the next radio station.

Detroit, a late-night song show.

"Hey, I want to order a song for my girlfriend......" said the black cleaner who was temporarily hired by A+ Records, sitting in front of the phone and pinching his voice.

"Hello, which one would you like to order?" The female DJ's voice is gentle and sensual.

"Hmm...... I want to point, I want to point...... I feel……”

"I feel it coming, right?"

"Huh? yes, how do you know!? ”

"I changed people and ordered N back in one night, can I not know!" The DJ finally couldn't restrain his emotions and shouted out the tone.

On the twenty-seventh, the regular meeting, "How are the results of my new order?" Song Ya asked.

"It's only been a day since the whole rice video store hit the shelves."

The head of publicity for Columbia Records laughed: "We are not in the film industry, and we can calculate the box office of the premiere the next day." ”

"Where's the Billboard list?"

"Then we have to wait for the release of the new weekly list on the 29th."

"Well, we'll go to Detroit tomorrow and fly to Los Angeles the day after tomorrow." Song Ya briefly explained the itinerary and dismissed the meeting.

After the meeting, the head of publicity called an acquaintance in the Columbia record sales department alone, "Hey, what is the estimated order of magnitude of sales in the first week?" ”

"Less than 100,000? That's a bit of a bad idea. ”

"I can't help it, APLUS doesn't want to be deeply hyped, and many interviews can be pushed and pushed, and I try to avoid live singing and singing...... That kid doesn't really sing much......"

"Okay, I'll follow up."

"Wait, what are you talking about data upside down?"

"Really? Billboard singles chart rushing over there? How fierce? ”
