Chapter 970: Recovering the Lost Ground
The loudspeaker at the campaign rally is always very powerful, and Song Ya can hear the voices of Underwood and Russell from afar, Underwood is of course very good at speaking, but he is actually not very good at impressing strangers and ordinary people in a short period of time, and he stumbled when he first ran for the federal congress.
But this guy is really good at playing drills, power tricks, and backroom politics, and as soon as he goes to Capitol Hill, his position in the Donkey Party's party is visibly skyrocketing.
The bald-headed, drunkard, and money-spending Russell was much more popular with the workers, and where he could use the vernacular, he didn't need advanced vocabulary, and where he could use phrases, he didn't need long sentences, and he could report the names of people in the audience casually, and he had never been a worker but his attitude was very sincere and kind, and Claire said that the workers saw him as 'the more prosperous brother in the family.' ’
Ms. Sloan also heard that although the Donkey Party is currently in power, about three-fifths of the political donations from major companies to get the telecommunications bill passed go to the Elephant Party members who control the Senate and the House of Representatives.
The Donkey Party, led by the incumbent leader's excellent economic performance, is likely to turn around this year and regain the majority in the House of Representatives, so it has put a lot of effort into every fringe district.
Russell was in a good time.
"Aren't you leaving?" Old Mike asked.
"Wait......"
Song Ya wanted to see which singer Russell invited to warm up the scene, but A+ Records really couldn't find a suitable singer at the moment, so he had to spend money to let his campaign team solve it on their own.
"Sure enough, it's still a country folk song......"
Ordinary people participated in the campaign rally for the most part, and in the midst of even greater cheers, they welcomed a well-known country singer.
No matter how big or small the election is, it will burn a lot of money, and it is easy for the old developed countries that are not 'historical accumulation' to play the wrong way. I heard that in this election year when the federal, state, county, city and town is full of 'war', there will be tens of thousands of famous and unknown country, pop and rock singers and musicians in all kinds of election campaigns across the country, so prosperous that they even need a temporary auction market, and the trading center is in Nashville, Tennessee, the birthplace of country music.
If calculated by output value, the second largest music capital of the United States after New York is there, and Los Angeles can only rank third.
After all, the United States is still a white man's world......
Contrary to Underwood and Peter Flock's need for black votes, because of the color of their skin, personally endorsing Russell's platform will not necessarily have a positive effect, and this is actually a common phenomenon in an election year, and white voters may not say it because of political correctness, and they are very 'honest' when voting.
"Let's go, Mike."
Song Ya sighed a little when she listened to the simple melody of the country ballad, so she made up her mind to get the gospel symphony chorus of Baba yetu out as soon as possible.
The current situation in the United States is like this: with the influence of events such as the anti-Vietnam War, the rise of the CCCP, and the rise of hippies, the conservative Christian forces can be said to have retreated step by step, reaching their lowest point in the early eighties.
When the so-called Beat Generation grew up, they believed in everything, but they didn't believe in the original God.
After the rise of the affirmative action movement, the black community also began to dislike the basic religion that endorsed the original sin of slavery, and turned to the arms of the Green Church, etc., and now the East and West Coast rap wars are going on, and it is never the black equal rights leader Jack Jackson, the veteran producer of the music industry, the head superstar MJ, or a gangster rap predecessor who has reconciled the two sides of prestige, but an organization called Green Country. This is evident from this.
In universities and scientific circles, with the development of genetic technology, cosmological theory, astronomical discoveries, modern archaeology, etc., those trite religious stories have become more and more unbelievable.
The feminist movement has led to a fierce conflict with traditional Christian beliefs on a range of issues, such as abortion and chastity, as well as the same-sex affirmative rights movement.
Even in the traditional conservative villages, various variant cults have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and this has also greatly squeezed the living space of the old basic religions.
And those who believe in the advent of alien civilizations and the end of the 2000 worlds are even more unruly.
But all this changed at the end of the 80s, the CCCP stumbled and finally collapsed in an extremely sudden and dramatic way, and then the United States surgically crushed Iraq, a Middle Eastern powerhouse, in the Gulf War with new technologies and equipment such as precision-guided bombing, and the black community in China found that the problems that the basic religion could not solve, and the green religion could not solve the problems that the green religion could not solve, the genetic technology such as cloning began to challenge human ethics, the new cults frequently caused vicious incidents, and the reputation became more and more stinky, and the pseudoscience of doomsday theory played to the end, and the real believers became fewer and fewer.
In addition to the fact that the affirmative action movement continues to flourish, everything else seems to have gone wrong in its own right, so the doctrine of the superiority of the Christian civilization has re-occupied people's hearts, and it has also made many changes to adapt to the new era, such as incorporating the Big Bang into the creation theory, learning the more acceptable way of preaching to young people, and so on.
The situation in the United States is particularly good, and it is a conservative stronghold compared to Europe.
Of course, to be honest, none of this has anything to do with Song Ya, but it's always right to curry favor, the conservative community will like Baba Yetu, the Lord's Prayer, or sung in Swahili, and even used in Africa, can the person who can create such a pious song to serve God be a traitor? Well?
"What impact will the merger between Time Warner and TBS have on the stock market?" On his way back to A+ Records, he first asked his stockbroker, O'Grady, about the information Underwood had revealed.
"It's hard to say, the optimistic and the unoptimistic are half each."
O'Grady replied: "It does look like a win-win win to boost the user base, but it could also be like Disney's acquisition of ABS, with heavy financial baggage, bloated management, and inefficiency." ”
"Oh."
Is that worthless news? Leave it alone, "I'm going to add weight." He told Linda after going to A+ Records to see the sinfonietta rehearsals.
"What's the plus?" Linda asked.
"Baba Yetu, it's too slow, and it's not enough to make an impact......"
Song Ya counted on her fingers, "I want the best female lead singer, and I want the local African ...... who is already able to speak Swahili The most suitable and popular black singer. Instead of playing this kind of small-scale rehearsal, go straight to the big symphony orchestra, and the sooner you get it out, the better. The choir should have old men, middle-aged people, young people, children, men and women, black, white and yellow, all ......"
"The male singer is so good that I will definitely be willing to come when I send an invitation. Who do female singers look for? The best...... Your ex-wife? Linda thought for a moment and asked.
"Uh...... Don't, the female lead singer doesn't have a strong sense of existence, and frequent participation in rehearsals will delay her career, and I designed bel canto singing......" Song Ya said hesitantly.
"Who's the best? Bel Canto ...... Opera Musical Singer Pick, Leah Saronga? Linda asked.
"This person is a good candidate, he is still Asian, and his singing skills are higher than Mimi."
Song Ya thought about it and nodded in approval.
"Wow, you really dare to say anything after the divorce."
Linda smiled.
"Originally, pop singers are sometimes not professional singers enough." After being a singer, producer and record company owner for so many years, Song Ya still has a certain ability to appreciate, "A large part of Mimi's singing depends on her natural good voice to eat. ”
"Leah Salonga is currently playing Epenny in the 10th Anniversary version of Les Misérables Musical, and the Broadway singer is very busy, so I need to make sure about the schedule." Linda said.
"Anyway, as soon as possible."
