"Donde, good afternoon." Badman was not wearing a suit at this time, and his suspender pants were propped up on his belly, looking a little bloated.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Badman."

Tang De finished saying hello and sat down on the chair opposite his desk.

Badman's face was a little tired, but he still smiled and said, "Don't call me 'sir', I'm not used to hearing it." ”

"Okay, Badman."

It sounds a lot closer, and remember, black people hate the social rhetoric of white people the most. Especially here, in the North End of New York, which is the territory of the blacks. ”

"Understood, Badman." Don nodded, he really didn't know much about getting along with black people. Although he lives in the Bronx, the northernmost and most black area of New York.

Badman took out a cigarette, lit it to himself, and asked, "What do I need to prepare for the album cover?" ”

"You need to prepare an enclosed room and some light sticks that can adjust the RGB color."

"Simple, I know where to borrow lights, I can just make a phone call, but what else?"

"Other than that, just let Raymond choose a leather jacket and a cross necklace."

"Easy, I'll arrange it now." Badman was resolute and directly called in front of Tang De to arrange for others to get things done.

Then he suddenly asked, "You should have listened to Raymond's song yesterday, right?" Any thoughts? ”

Don raised an eyebrow, not knowing what Badman meant by asking, but from that phone call, he vaguely guessed that the agent in front of him didn't have much hope for the album, so he half-truthed: "I don't usually listen to hip-hop, but I think that song is not bad after eight hours." ”

"Not bad?" Badman puffed up the smoke and couldn't see any expression: "Do you think it's going to be a big hit?" ”

"It's not good to say, I'm not a professional either." Tang De did not respond positively, because he knew very well in his heart that this album had no hope of being a big hit, and it was already good not to lose money.

You can't blame companies and DJs in Chicago, Los Angeles and other places for not buying it, Raymond's rugged voice is completely uncontrolled like the roar of a beast, but he doesn't sing rock 'n' roll, and he doesn't have his own unique rap rhyme, the audience can't even hear the lyrics clearly, and it would hell if they can like it.

"Okay, so do you think it's necessary to make a music video for this song?"

Hearing this, Tang De suddenly realized that Badman was struggling with this matter.

Just like he argued with the guy on the phone, if you only shoot three music videos, then which songs will be filmed is the most important thing.

However, Tang De has a different opinion on this, and said bluntly: "To be honest, Badman, I think if you need to shoot a music video, it is best to spend all your efforts on one song." ”

"One song?" Badman frowned, "Why?" ”

"Because of the cost." Tang De accurately grasped what he was thinking: "If a song can be filmed, attract attention, and then release the whole album, I think the sales will be higher than releasing the album directly." ”

Badman pondered for a moment: "You're right, that's right. But who knows which song the market likes? ”

"I told you, or you can ask about the taste of the radio."

"Well, you're right, after all, they deal with their listeners every day, and they must know their preferences." Badman kind of agreed with Donde's suggestion.

"In fact, if you don't have a MV director, I can." After determining the shooting time, Tang De suddenly mentioned his thoughts again.

"MV director?" Badman thought for a moment: "How about waiting until the album cover is filmed?" ”

"Absolutely."

Tang De got up to leave, and suddenly said in front of the door: "Badman, there is another question. ”

"What?"

"If I'm doing an album cover shoot, I have to make sure that one thing is that it's all over the room, and whatever I say or do, everybody else has to do it. There can only be one voice on the scene, and that is me. May I? ”

Badman shrugged: "Of course, no problem, we respect professional people. ”

"Then it's settled."

Don turned and left the office.

Badman immediately called Fez again.

"Fez, I figured it out, we only shoot a music video for one song on Raymond's album."

"No, no, no, it's not that I don't like his albums, but this way it maximizes the benefits, and we have so much money in our hands, of course, we have to spend it in the most critical places."

"Listen to me, first find a local radio station and ask them to help us choose a song, and then release the single after filming the music video. As long as the market response is good, then the sales will naturally increase when the album is released in the future! ”

"What? Beast star? This song doesn't work! ”

"Can't refute? Fez! You're here again! Even though you're the boss, you don't understand music! ”

"Shit, of course I do! I've brought so many singers with me! ”

"FXXK, you've already talked to Raymond? I'm really going to be by you, okay, okay, just release that scare-scaring beast star! ”

"Send it as soon as you finish shooting the album cover! Don't even think about the MV, it's taking money to waste! ”

Listening to the irritable voice coming from the room, Tang De was amazed.

He had already left, but suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked about the payment, and as soon as he reached the door, he heard Badman's angry growl.

I don't know what kind of person Raymond's daddy Fez, can make Badman angry like this.

But it's none of his business, the most important thing for him now is to get the album cover and get the money.

That night, Jimmy came to Donde again and took him to Apollion's company.

In fact, it is said to be a company, but the overall area can't even catch up with Fez Music Company, at most it is a studio. Usually this group of people does not work in the company, either part-time on the set, or has a party in Apollion's villa.

And this time, Domino's advertising shooting was also picked up by Apollion on the set, because the original director was not creative and was fired by Monagan on the spot.

As for Scarlett, she is also the originally scheduled actor, and she gets the most of the entire advertising fee.

So Apollion, the interim director, didn't get much money, at least a lot worse than him as an assistant film director, but this was his first battle in the advertising industry, so money was not the most important thing.

And the salary he gave Tang De is 4,000 US dollars, judging from the salary of a Hollywood gaffer, even the salary of a film gaffer is only a few hundred dollars a day, so 4,000 US dollars in two days has far exceeded the industry standard.

But that's not a big deal, Mr. Monagan also paid them an additional advertising planning fee, $30,000.

Tang De divided 10,000 US dollars alone, and the rest of the money was divided among others.

To be honest, this is the first time Tang De has obtained so much money, and in the past, it was tens of dollars, hundreds of dollars.

Now I finally see more than 10,000 units.

This money made Carmela look very excited, and in the evening, she deliberately bought a lot of fruits and meat that she didn't eat often on weekdays, and filled the refrigerator to the brim.

This means they don't have to worry about debt and livelihood for the next year or two.

However, Don De quickly offered to buy a car.

It's really hard to walk without a car in a place like the United States, and Tang De doesn't want to endure the smell of urine every day to go to the subway to escape fares.

Carmella agrees that this is something that all young Americans face, and she doesn't want her son to ride a bicycle every day and travel in a time-consuming and laborious way.

So the two discussed, and only 5,000 US dollars were left at home, and the rest of the money was used to buy second-hand cars and for Tang De's expenses.
