Over the weekend, New York's major music stations received a new single disc at the same time. The cover is still Raymond, and Republic Records doesn't seem to have any intention of covering Raymond at all, except that the color has completely changed, changing to a deep blue with a yellow title, and Raymond himself is also covered in a pink halo, which is no different from the first single.

Compared to the cover of the previous single, this one is still eye-catching, but unlike the previous one, the name of the cover is not Beast Nova but a makeover.

Yes, the name of the song "Eight Hours Later" was changed to "Makeover", and at the same time a handwritten card was handed to the DJs.

At the same time that the radio stations received the new single, the major video stores in New York also received the CD of Raymond's new song "Makeover".

One of the shopkeepers was Divar, who was dark-skinned, one-third Indian, had small curly hair, looked shrewd and petty, and habitually waved his hand to show emotion when he spoke.

After getting the sample plate from Republic Records, he didn't pay much attention to it, and put it aside casually until he finished eating.

"Makeover? How is this cover the same as the beast before it? Damn, it can't be the same person! Do you think that changing the color will make people forget the previous noise? ”

With a complaint, he stuffed it directly into the DVD and played it, and the music soon played, and the picture appeared on the TV.

It's just that unlike the chaotic streets in the previous hip-hop music videos, or a bunch of good brothers standing in front of the car and rapping, this time Duvar appeared in front of a closed blue door, and as the prelude progressed, the door also got closer and closer, as if there was something inside waiting to be revealed.

Divar was a little surprised, the whole MV presented a very unique tone and temperament from the beginning, and the blue and yellow really matched with tension, which immediately caught his eye.

"Well, it looks like there are two more brushes." Duvar has to admit that the colors of the MV are really stunning, but if it is the only way, it will not make people pull out the money.

So immediately after, he saw a suspenseful murder.

Raymond was murdered to death by a plastic bag, and after the killer took off the hood, it turned out to be Raymond himself!

He was bathed in blue, holding a pink cross and destroying everything as if he were ruining himself.

I don't understand it, but I don't know it.

The music isn't catchy enough in all fairness, but it's much better than the previous roaring rap, and inexplicably brainwashing, and the constantly looping lyrics are matched with the dark blue, and even Divar can't help but shake his head and hum a few words along with it.

"I feel like I've learned, is this really that beast Raymond? How do you feel like a different person, but it doesn't matter, it just sounds good! ”

After watching the whole MV, he sang a few more words, and then picked up the phone and called the contact of Republic Records: "Jack, "Makeover", I want 800 copies!" ”

"What? Not having enough inventory? How can it be? ”

"Only three hundred? Shit, when are you guys going to restock, I'm sure it's going to sell out! ”

And there are many shopkeepers like him who want to replenish the stock, and even Giorgio himself did not expect that the 15,000 CDs he had prepared would be snatched up by various video stores before the promotion began.

Meanwhile, Don and Raymond are sitting in the car, listening to DJ Lao Ai's radio.

"Lao Ai, I heard that you've been looping a song lately?" The host did not directly introduce the title of the song as usual, but threw out a question first.

"That's right, you can't guess who's who, SHXT, I'm listening to him! It's still addictive! ”

"Tell me about it, I'm sure you're curious too."

"It's Raymond, the beast Raymond, the terrifying guy who overturned the streets of New York with his mouth!"

“FXXK！” Raymond angrily slapped the steering wheel, like a gorilla flowing out of a zoo: "When did I turn the streets over?" ”

Davis, who was sitting in the back, pouted: "It's not just about overturning the streets, there are many people who want to pay for your car accident!" ”

Raymond turned and glared, Davis immediately shut his mouth, and Big Mac and Becky grinned mercilessly.

Only Tang De continued to listen to the conversation on the radio unaffected.

"Wait, wait! Don't rush to leave. Lao Ai anxiously pulled the host who wanted to escape, and explained: "Declare in advance, this is not any promotion, I didn't take their money, I scolded Raymond's-like song the most, so the listeners in front of the radio station should not leave, listen to me continue to finish." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll admit I'm a little scared, after all, you know, I don't want to be threatened with bullets anymore." After the host's tone was cowardly, electronic laughter immediately came out.

"When I received the album the day before yesterday, I was going to throw it in the trash, but you know what? This beast Raymond actually wrote a letter by himself, hell, when did hip-hop singers become so cultured? ”

"What did he write?"

"He's writing very short, I'll read it to you." Lao Ai took out the card and said into the microphone: "First of all, this is my last song. Secondly, I want to tell you that black people are not only gangs and flaunting wealth, I am a street child, everything I have originated in my family and neighborhood, it is like my father.

"Although I fight, steal, often upset my mom, and sing songs that don't fit the market trend, I really love music and have changed. I don't ask for your understanding, but I hope you can give me a chance, and I want to use this song to prove that I haven't forgotten the street that raised me, and that I have changed my face. ”

After reading it, Lao Ai sighed with emotion: "Like he said, I am also a street child, so I understand this kid." ”

"Sounds like a genuine ......"

"Did you really write the letter?" Big Mac looked incredulous.

"Nonsense!" Raymond let out a breath from his nose: "But most of it is Donde's idea." ”

"I see." Xiaobei was stunned, and Lao Ai, who listened to the radio again, continued to praise: "Yes, I listened to the song after that, and guess what?" It's so good to blow up! Whether it's the shooting of the MV or the rhythm of the song, it's very awesome, and I've already climaxed, you know! ”

"It's obviously the same person, how can he sing two songs with completely different feelings? Really, it's awesome! ”

The host was obviously unconvinced: "Really? Are you sure you're not lying to me? ”

"Of course!" Lao Ai raised his voice.

"So let's listen to it? If the first line doesn't sound good, I'll cut it out. ”

"Don't worry, you will feel the absolute contrast, this time, the beast Raymond turns into lyrical Raymond and has a makeover!"

After saying that, the music immediately sounded, and everyone who listened to the radio immediately felt the difference from the previous one from the slow and gentle rhythm.

Several people in the car also quieted down to the song.

Only Tang De smiled while listening to the music, and the effect was very good.

The essence of this set of words is to say it in two words, it sells miserably.

But presumably the audience will forgive Raymond, after all, this is America's favorite drama, isn't it? Bad boy self-redemption, what an inspirational plot.

This is also the inspiration that Tang De drew from various Weibo essays in later generations, guiding professionalism into emotional output, and using some words that seem right to cover up Raymond's mistakes.

And Robert Downey's self-redemption is the most politically correct set now, after so many years of movie baptism, everyone can empathize.

Even if you don't catch a cold, as long as you give Raymond a chance to listen, it's completely enough!
