Chapter 30: A big victory

The fermentation of "Makeover" continues.

Nylon Music Magazine has weekly reviews of new music, but instead of focusing on songs, this time they collectively started working on the music video and brushed aside the songs.

"If I had to say that the most outstanding thing about this song, it would be this music video, the melancholy blue color goes well with the genre. And the content is also interesting, what does it mean to kill yourself?

"It represents the current self killing the past self, which is equivalent to a new life, and it can also be said to be a makeover, which also matches the meaning of the song itself. Although the lyrics are still a bit clichΓ©d, they are better than those singers who have cars and horses. However, it should be pointed out that the drum beat of this song is not very compatible with the accompaniment, and it may be better if the drum beat is reduced. ”

This is the comment of the chief music critic Black Jack, and there are other music critics who have expressed their opinions.

For example, Tony, a music critic known for his sharp and piercing voice.

"In my opinion, there is not much worth saying about this song itself, the style is old, the voice is ordinary, and when I saw the big guy singing in the MV, I didn't feel gentle at all, but there was a kind of contrived little family spirit.

"But I have to say that the music video for this song is very well shot and uses a lot of metaphors. At the beginning, Raymond, who was wearing a suit, was suffocated to death by the killer with a plastic bag, which actually represented the pompous voice that he was stifled, and then the killer's black jacket represented Raymond himself who had regained his original intention.

And he took the pink cross and smashed everything, the same symbolism, and wiped out all the bells and whistles, as he sang in the lyrics. In a sense, it means that Raymond is back on the streets, no longer levitating.

"And the album cover is the same, black jacket, gold necklace, maybe this is Raymond's own preference? Or is it the design of the MV director? Anyway, it's very echoing, I like this idea. But I still have to say that I wouldn't have listened to this song without this MV, that's all. ”

In addition to the long reviews, there are many short reviews and readers' comments on the songs, and Tang De saw a lot of them when he looked through magazines and newspapers.

"Extreme color! I was amazed by this MV! Much better than those black and white hip-hop MVs! ”

"It's funny, the album cover is also very collectible, I didn't expect each song to be a different color match, to be honest, I'm not interested in songs, I just want to collect covers."

"It's like the classic Marilyn Monroe of Pop Art, I love this color to death!"

"Can I ask who the director of this MV is? Do you have any other works? ”

"Behold, Donde, people are starting to ask for your name!" Jimmy was also sitting on the couch at his house, and he had brought the magazines and newspapers in front of them.

Tang De smiled: "It's a pity, I only have such a work now." ”

"But there will definitely be more awesome works in the future!" Jimmy believes in his good brother's strength.

Just when the two were chatting, a phone call suddenly came, and Tang De found that it was Raymond after connecting.

"Hey BRO! The rankings have risen again! Oh my God, it's thirty-nine! Can't believe it! It's true! Thank you bro! ”

Raymond's excitement could be heard in his voice.

"That's what I'm supposed to do."

"Are you free tonight! I'm singing in the Crazy Night Bar, do you want to come and see it! Drink with you! We don't get drunk and don't go home! ”

Don De looked at Jimmy: "Okay, no problem, I'll take Jimmy with me then." ”

"Jimmy, no problem! Together! Wow! Cruel! ”

Hanging up the phone, Donde looked at Jimmy and shrugged, "It looks like Raymond is going to invite us for a drink." ”

Jimmy's waist straightened: "Great, it's over!" ”

He just wanted to put his arm around Donde's shoulder but was interrupted by the phone, and Donde picked up the phone, which was a call from Giorgio.

"Donde, a big victory!"

"What?" Don De didn't understand.

Giorgio explained: "Edmund, that arrogant guy was out of luck because his wrong strategy caused SBK to lose a lot of money, and now those higher-ups have impeached him and he has been demoted. ”

"Demotion? Didn't leave your job? ”

"It may not be possible to resign, after all, he is also an old employee of SBK, and there is factional support behind him. To be honest, if he hadn't had to mobilize SBK's resources to stop Raymond's new song this time, he wouldn't have given people a chance to attack him. ”

Tang De raised the corners of his mouth: "The arrogant are always hurt by the arrogant, aren't they?" ”

"Yay...... You're right, the proud are always hurt by the haughty. Giorgio pondered the meaning of this sentence and continued: "By the way, this is not only the only thing that I am looking for you, but more importantly, I have already communicated with the CAA, and according to what you said, they have already started an internal assessment. But I think they'll get a price you're happy with. ”

Tang De did not go through the channel of Apollion, but went to Giorgio's side, because there is a relationship of interest between the two but there is no conflict, which is more reliable.

"Thank you."

"Don't thank me, you deserve it!"

After talking to Giorgio, Donde took Jimmy to the Crazy Night Bar to see a Raymond show.

But to be honest, without the blessing of the MV, the song seems a little weak, and it is indeed difficult to mobilize the atmosphere of the scene, forcing Raymond to directly roar another beast star, which warmed up the field.

After singing, Raymond came to the box with a large sum of dollars, first divided a portion of it with his brother and brothers, and then handed Tang De a few hundred dollars.

Don De gave it to Jimmy.

"Brothers, get dry! Today I pay! Raymond gulped down his drink, looking particularly energetic in the shining light.

I don't see the dejected look of the song failure.

Then he clapped his hands again, and immediately several girls walked in from the door and sat down beside them.

The hustle and bustle lasted all night, and even Tang De was a little drunk. After being carried by the girl to the toilet, one of them squatted down and attacked without noticing.

"Shhh Don De gasped.

Then he stood facing the direction of the urinal for a long time, and finally waited for the girl to get up before releasing his urine.

When he woke up from the box the next day, he found that he had several more notes on his body and a bunch of lipstick marks on his face.

In front of the sink, Tang De washed his face and washed off his lipstick, feeling that the unhappiness of squeezing during this time was completely released.

He looked at his phone again, and Scarlett's text messages were still stuck in Los Angeles that night.

"Sooner or later, I'll take yours." Don whistled, dipped his hands and brushed his hair, then walked down the hallway out of the bar.
