When the publicity offensive of "Makeover" was in full swing, major brokerage companies were also watching the MV of this song.

The reason why they were noticed was not because of the song itself, but because of the rivalry between Republic Records and SBK Records, and everyone went to learn about the song with a schadenfreude mentality.

"It's really cool." Warner Records President Joel Jay spent his free time watching the music video for the entire song after the meeting and then sat down at the table and talked about it.

"Isn't Dolly Amos planning to release a new album lately? Is it also possible to use such a form of shooting, which is very novel and eye-catching! ”

"Yes, it's eye-catching, but I think the impact belies the character of the song itself, which doesn't quite fit Dolly's temperament." The head of the Propaganda Department, Megev, shrugged: "And directors of this type are not very easy to find." ”

"Don't we have a director who can shoot this kind of music video? I don't think it's difficult in terms of form. Yoel frowned.

Megève nodded: "It's not difficult in form, but the colors are not very easy to match, and if we adopt the same color as him, it will be considered a poor imitation." ”

"Well, when I didn't say it, I will pay attention to the director who can shoot this kind of MV in the future, I feel that young people in the new era should like it more."

In addition to the major record companies, there are many passers-by who are spontaneously discussing the song to others.

Of course, it's not because of the song itself, but because of the bold colors of the MV and album cover, which makes them feel that the song seems to have a certain collector's value.

So many players who focus on record collection have poured directly into the vinyl store and snatched up the song "Makeover".

As a result, the price of its vinyl has risen several times for a while, and it has become a hot collector's item.

And a large number of buyers also sent letters to Republic Records, asking them to print them quickly.

However, even if the word-of-mouth of the song is in good shape among fans, it is not without opposition.

Brooklyn DJ Deathstroke made it clear that he wanted to boycott a singer like Raymond, and he wanted to save the bad name of his first song when he sold badly? And she sings softly, like a girl.

He also directly named Raymond "Thunder Girl", and the angry Davis almost went to him with a gun, but Raymond stopped him.

However, both Badman and Giorgio knew that it was all SBK's trick. Although the major radio stations are nominally neutral, they all have their own partners behind the scenes.

SBK has many black rappers, and at the behest of the higher-ups, they quickly stood up to question Raymond's songs, from soft singing to music girls, and some people said that the MV was shot like light pollution, and the bells and whistles were not men at all.

But even if they said it, they couldn't stop the audience from voting with their feet.

Singles sold out quickly, the TVs behind the glass of major video stores played Raymond's "Makeover" music videos all day long, and Republic Records also put up a huge poster of the album cover in the Plaza Building, the mysterious blue easily captured a large number of passers-by to buy it, and became a hot word in the New York news that day.

For the first time, everyone knew that color was so important for an album.

And the on-demand volume of this song on major radio stations is also surging, and it is almost in the top three of the week.

However, SBK and other records will certainly not be unresponsive, in addition to radio attacks, SBK also deliberately let several of its black singers release singles at the same time to divert Raymond's sales.

I have to say that this trick is very good, and the rapid upward trend of "Makeover" has slowed down a little.

But Republic Records has also begun to throw coins on its side, and it is bound to copy the popularity of this song.

But it had nothing to do with Donde, who was standing in front of the Fez Music Company, handing Slow a box of cigarettes and chatting a few words before making his way down the hallway to Badman's office.

Today is Billboard's update day, and they're waiting until the evening to announce the latest rankings.

A few people chatted and waited, and when the Billboard rankings were released, they were surprised to find that Raymond's performance in this song had dropped directly to the fiftieth place!

"Wow! Fifty! Raymond happily sprang up from the couch!

He has already seen his star dream beckoning to him, and the red carpet has even been rolled out at his feet!

Badman also breathed a sigh of relief and was overjoyed, which means that he made the right bet and achieved a win-win situation with Republic Records!

Raymond will be the signature of Fez Music!

"Raymond, starting tomorrow, we're going to cruise the United States!" In order to cooperate with the promotion of Republic Records, Raymond and his band are going to tour major cities together, and Badman naturally follows the whole process.

"No problem! Bring Davis, Big Mac, and Becky! I'm going to be famous! After Raymond finished speaking, he looked at Tang De again: "Brother, are you going with me?" ”

"I'll forget it, I have other jobs." Tang De smiled and refused.

Not to mention the next advertising competition, he is not a person in Raymond's team, in black culture, one person has achieved the title of chicken and dog to ascend to heaven.

As the boss, it is necessary for Raymond to bring the rest of his brothers to enjoy life together.

But Don De was not among them, and he didn't want to be one of them.

And although Badman felt that it was a waste of money to bring so many unrelated people in the past, he also knew that he could not persuade Raymond, so he simply did not squeak, just took out a wooden box from the drawer and opened it carefully.

Donde and Raymond immediately saw a row of Cuban cigars lined up, with thick roots, and at first glance they looked like fine cigars that had been selected.

"It's my baby, be careful."

Badman picked one up and handed it to Raymond, and another one to Donde.

It's not that Don doesn't know how to smoke, he just hasn't much interest in ordinary cigarettes, and now that he has cigars, he can naturally try them.

However, after Badman picked up the cigar tong, he did not rush to cut the three people, but asked seriously: "Have you ever smoked a cigar?" It's not the kind of pretending to be heroic, but it's really tasteful...... Savor the aroma of the cigar. ”

"Nope." Tang De shook his head, he didn't have much contact with this aspect.

Raymond also shook his head: "You know me, Badman, I'm more anxious." ”

"Well, I kind of regret taking it out." Obviously, this box of cigars is his treasure, and he would not have been willing to take it out if he was not in a good mood.

But now that it was handed over to the two, he could only teach: "Then do as I say, first of all, smell the cigar first, and then use the cigar cutter to cut the head, not flat, the easiest and safest way for novices like you is to cut obliquely." ”

Tang De sniffed according to what he said, and smelled a smell of milk and coffee, which was very good.

After feeling the aroma for a while, he cut off the cigar head.

Then Badman continued: "Secondly, after I'll light the fire for you later, remember, don't smoke it directly! First, like me, blow on the cigar head and see the fire in it before taking the first puff.

"And every bite after that, there should be an interval of about 30 seconds, do you understand?" Bardeman was like a cigar teacher, and he heard Don and Raymond nod.

After a pause, Bardman continued, "Also, smoke a cigar and don't inhale it in your lungs, especially Raymond. Take a big puff, spit it out, and feel the aroma and taste of the cigar, only then you can taste its wonderfulness. ”

Don De picked up the cigar in his hand, this one was very large, and he knew that the larger the size, the more suitable it was for novices, because the first sip was relatively light, and the aroma would gradually rise with the burning temperature.

He placed the cigar on the tip of the flame and burned it, then slowly rotated it, and with the naked eye, he could see that the head of the cigar had turned black, and the edges were grayish-white, and a circle of lit fire could be seen inside, and a little green smoke was gently rising.

That's the perfect time to smoke a cigar.

Tang De picked up the cigar and took a big sip, and the faint aroma immediately filled his mouth, followed by his exhalation again, and the smoke rose in the room.

"Whew." He was lying in a chair, and it was a comfort.
