Chapter 46 Escouber's Delivery Theory

"The president personally visited. It is self-evident how much Sony Columbia Records values ​​Mariah Carey. You won't bring up that theory of wanting to X who X who?"

Hayden was very afraid that Song Ya would make trouble, "Sony Columbia is the top both in the record and film industry, and they are the rule-makers."

"You think too much……"

Mariah Carey has a good figure and is considered beautiful, but Song Ya recalled her tone and demeanor when she interacted with Motura just now, and said that he didn't believe that there was nothing between the two of them, so naturally he would not intervene again Thoughts like, "Is she older than me?"

"Of course, she seems to be around twenty years old." Hayden felt that Song Ya really didn't have any lust, so he stopped admonishing her.

Early the next morning, the two rushed to the radio station, and the half-hour interview passed in a flash.

After the end, the radio host was very dissatisfied, and all the ambushes set up were ignored by Song Ya, resulting in no program effect at all for the entire interview.

He mentioned the disastrous defeat of the Bulls in the tiebreaker of the Eastern Conference Finals not long ago, and Song Ya replied that he didn't read basketball very much and didn't understand it.

Then he complained that Old Joe didn't dare to come, and pretended to mention the relationship between Old Joe and GD (gang name: the Gangster Disciples, Hell Bobtails is its branch) unintentionally. Song Ya also pretended not to hear, just Said that he respected Lao Qiao very much, it was Lao Qiao who gave him a chance.

He began to talk about the current chaotic law and order in the black districts of Detroit and Chicago. Song Ya shifted the topic to the injustice suffered by black people, and then talked about the current situation in South Africa and his new song: To De Klerk.

Following the injustice suffered by black people, he began to lure Song Ya to chat about white people in SBK. Song Ya expressed that he was generally satisfied with the status of black people in the record industry. We have Jackson brothers and sisters, Whitney Houston and so on.

Following the fair status of black people in the recording industry, he turned the topic to Hollywood, where besides Denzel Washington, other popular people such as Eddie Murphy and Whoopi Goldberg can only play buffoons like gags. Not long ago, Morgan Freeman's winning role was nothing more than an old Jewish woman's driver.

Song Ya said that she is not familiar with Hollywood...

"Are you the press spokesman sent by Old Joe?" The host took off his earphones and complained to his face.

Song Ya shrugged, "I'm only fifteen years old, so I have to be careful."

"I thought you were fifty if you didn't tell me!" The host laughed angrily.

Coming out of the studio, Hayden led a group of gangster-like blacks waiting outside, "APLUS, let me introduce you, this is Escube, Cooper, this is APLUS." Introduce to Song Ya.

Eskub is a former member of N.W.A. Last year, he broke out and went solo. He also released a new album last month, which seems to be called Amerikkka's Most Wanted. He is only in his twenties, with a beard, and he always holds his head up and looks like no one is a bird. He is dressed in dark blue, jeans, sweater, and baseball cap are all dark blue, and there is a cursive letter on the front of the hat. 'D', the logo of Detroit's local Major League Baseball team Tigers, is a bit rare to see other black stars' gold three-piece suits on him.

"Hey..." Song Ya hurriedly bumped fists with the old man in the rap industry in front of him.

"YO! APLUS, so you are so young... How old do you think he is?" Cooper and his followers pointed at Song Ya and laughed, then put their arms around Song Ya's shoulders, "Let's go and talk."

Song Ya glanced at Hayden, and Hayden nodded to indicate that it was okay.

Cooper is currently at a disadvantage in the long-distance scolding battle with his old N.W.A friends. The specific situation is roughly as follows:

Cooper said a lot of money was made by 'Big E' (the creator of N.W.A).

'Big E' said your parents are both (UCLA) employees and don't belong on our streets at all, pretending to be some kind of gangster rapper...

Cooper said he wrote half of N.W.A's words.

'Big E' says you don't belong on our streets.

Cooper said he contributed a lot to N.W.A.

'Big E' says you don't belong on our streets.

cooper says...

'Big E' says you don't belong on our streets anyway.

In this way, the public opinion in the black community is really biased toward "Big E", as if being born in a well-educated family and being well-educated is the original sin.

However, Cooper is a very smart person. He lost face in the scolding battle and won the face. Most of the songs in the new album were written during the scolding battle. With a large amount of publicity expenses, it is not difficult for the new album to get a gold record (500,000 copies sold).

He didn't have any malicious intentions, and he happened to be doing a show on the radio. He heard an interview with Song Ya on the radio, and knew that he was the person who wrote the second-hand store, so he came over to get to know him, and by the way, invited songs and raised investment for his film project.

"Movie?" Song Ya naturally had no song for him, but he was surprised to hear that the other party was still making a movie.

"Yeah! It was invested by Columbia Pictures. It shows the street stories of the teenagers of our lame gang (a black national gang that originated in California). It will enter the group at the end of the year."

Cooper pulled out the corner of the lame gang's blue-and-white patterned turban from his jeans pocket, "Look, I'm a real lame gang, everyone recognizes it."

It seems that he has been bewitched by 'Big E', and he has to prove his street attributes to everyone he sees.

It turned out that the movie with Mira was invested by the same company, and they joined the group at about the same time. Song Ya originally wanted to ask about the situation, but when she saw that she was related to the gang, she immediately pretended not to be interested.

However, Cooper's conversation and thinking are obviously much higher than those of other blacks from the bottom, and Song Ya happened to ask him for some record marketing skills.

"I know, you like to lean on the big labels..." Cooper winked at him and smiled. "SBK, right? I heard what they had to say about you when I was doing promotions in New York."

The "they" here undoubtedly refers to the black music scene in New York.

"Uh... I have some misunderstandings with them..." Song Ya hurriedly defended, "Those black girls don't meet my requirements. I'm only fifteen years old, and I can't think of it that deeply."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a small problem, and I'll talk to them when I see you later." Cooper said with a smile, "As for selling records..."

He said: "What is the purpose of publicity? It is nothing more than to sell more records. As long as any kind of publicity can sell records, in layman's terms, it is good publicity if it can bring goods. You see, the big record companies of white people firmly control Television stations, such as MTV, Saturday Night Live, The Oprah Show, current affairs news, and major competitions, can all take the opportunity to market records, and the ability to bring goods is nothing to say. We black people absolutely have no chance to fight alone, but if we cooperate ..."

"Is there a chance?" Song Ya didn't feel it.

"Of course there is a chance. Do you know that there is another thing with a super ability to carry goods, the Billboard (Billboard) list?" Cooper asked.

"I know."

"The Billboard singles list is not a list purely based on sales. Because it has a long history, the broadcast volume of radio stations has a high weight in it. And the current radio station...I have traveled all over the country for publicity these years. , due to the rise of TV media, white people are generally not optimistic about the prospects of radio stations, thinking that it will be eliminated sooner or later, so now in various radio stations, our own people (black groups) have gradually occupied most of the DJ positions .If someone can unite all the black DJs in the whole meter and push the same song at the same time, then this song will definitely be pushed to the forefront of the billboard in an instant. Now that everyone is chasing fashion, wouldn’t the record sell well?”

Song Ya felt that Cooper's theory of carrying goods through the channel was very innovative and reasonable, but he quickly found out the crux of the matter, "What if the white people change the calculation method of the bulletin board weight?"

"Uh... this..."

Cooper was stopped by the question, "White people control everything. If so, our road will be completely blocked. We can only wait for the future to see what new media will appear."
