Chapter 970? Regaining Lost Ground

The speakers at campaign rallies are always powerful enough, and Song Ya can hear the voices of Underwood and Russell from far away. Underwood's speech level is of course very high, but he is not very good at making strangers ordinary in a short time I had a good impression of him, and I stumbled when I was elected to the Federal Representative for the first time.

But this guy is really good at playing tricks, tricks, and secret room politics. Once he goes to Capitol Hill, his status in the Donkey Party's party will skyrocket to the naked eye.

Russell, who is bald, drunk, and spent a lot of money on himself, is much liked by the workers. Where he can use plain language, he doesn’t need advanced vocabulary, and where he can use phrases, he doesn’t need long sentences. He has never been a worker, but his attitude is very sincere and friendly. Claire said that the workers regard him as "the more promising brother in the family." '

Song Ya also heard from Ms. Sloan that although the donkey party is currently in power, major companies want to pass the telecommunications bill, and about three-fifths of the political donations are still given to the elephant party that controls the federal Senate and House of Representatives MP.

Led by the excellent economic performance of the current general leader, the Donkey Party is likely to reverse the situation and regain the majority in the House of Representatives this year, so it has devoted great efforts in various marginal constituencies.

Russell considered a good time to catch up.

"Aren't you going?" Old Mike asked.

"etc……"

Song Ya wanted to see which singer Russell had invited to warm up the scene. A+ Records really couldn't find a suitable singer to come, so he had to spend money to let his campaign team solve it by himself.

"Sure enough, it's still a country folk song..."

Ordinary people participated in the campaign rally mostly to join in the fun, and amidst the louder cheers, they ushered in a well-known country singer.

Elections, no matter how big or small, burn money, and a lot of money is burned. It is easy for old developed countries with "historical accumulation" to play sideways. I heard that in this year's election year when the federal, state, county, city and small towns are full of "wars", there will be tens of thousands of famous and unknown country, pop and rock singers and musicians in all sizes. Small campaigns, so prosperous that they even needed a temporary slot bidding market, the trading center is in the birthplace of country music, Nashville, Tennessee.

In terms of output value, it is the second largest music capital in the United States after New York, and Los Angeles can only be ranked third.

The United States is still dominated by white people after all...

It’s the exact opposite of Underwood and Peter Flock’s need for black votes. Because of their skin color, endorsement for Russell’s platform in person may not necessarily have a positive effect, and this is actually a common phenomenon in election years. White voters may be forced to be politically correct. Don't say it out of your mouth, it's very 'honest' when you vote.

"Come on, Mike."

Song Ya listened to the simple melody of the country folk song and sighed a little, so she made up her mind to get out the gospel symphony chorus of Baba yetu as soon as possible. The skin color can't be changed, and the old Bahn may not be able to lick it hard, at least to please the mainstream White culture.

The current situation in the United States is as follows: With the anti-Vietnam War, the heyday, and the rise of hippies and other events, the conservative Christian forces can be said to be retreating step by step, reaching the lowest point in the early 1980s.

When the so-called Beat Generation grew up, they believed in everything but did not believe in the original God.

After the rise of the affirmative movement, the black group also began to dislike Christianity, which endorsed the original sin of slavery, and turned to the green religion. In the ongoing East-West Coast Rap War, the prestige to reconcile the two sides has never been the black equality leader Jack Jackson, Quincy Jones, a veteran producer in the music industry, top superstar MJ, or a gangster rap senior, but an organization called Green Country. It can be seen from this.

In universities and scientific circles, with the development of genetic technology, universe theory, astronomical discoveries, modern archaeology, etc., those old religious stories are becoming less and less credible, and many atheists even go to preach He will smash the field, chasing the pastor to argue, questioning the other party until he is speechless, and taking pleasure in video recording.

The feminist movement has led to fierce conflicts with the traditional concepts of Christianity on a series of issues such as abortion and virginity, and the same-sex affirmative movement is generally the same.

Even in traditional conservative villages, various mutant cults have sprung up, which has greatly squeezed the living space of old-fashioned Christianity.

And those who believe in the coming of alien civilizations and the end of the world in 2000, let alone reject them.

But all this changed at the end of the 1980s, stumbled and finally collapsed in an extremely sudden and dramatic way, and then the United States surgically crushed Iraq, a Middle Eastern power, with precision-guided bombing and other new technology and equipment in the Gulf War. The group discovered that the basic religion could not solve the problems that the green religion could not solve either. Genetic technologies such as cloning began to challenge human ethics, and emerging cults frequently caused vicious incidents. less.

In addition to the continued vigorous development of various affirmative action movements, everything else seems to have a problem of its own, so the theory of the superiority of Christian civilization has re-occupied people's hearts, and it has also made many changes to adapt to the new era, such as incorporating the Big Bang into the Creation theory, learning missionary methods that are more acceptable to young people, etc., have achieved remarkable results so far, and some pastors have even clamored that this is another 'recovering lost land movement'.

The situation in the United States is particularly good. Compared with Europe, this is a conservative base camp.

Of course, to be honest, these have nothing to do with Song Ya, but it’s always right to please. Conservative groups will like Baba Yetu. The Lord’s Prayer is still sung in Swahili, and it can even be used in Africa. It can create such a devout Is he who serves God a traitor? Um?

"How will the merger of Time Warner and TBS affect the stock market?" On the way back to A+ Records, he first asked his stockbroker O'Grady about the information disclosed by Underwood.

"It's hard to say, half of what is optimistic and half of what is not optimistic."

O'Grady replied: "It seems that it will indeed be a win-win to increase the user base, but it may also carry a heavy financial burden, bloated management, and low efficiency like Disney's acquisition of ABS."

"oh."

Is that worthless news? Put it aside, "I want to increase the size." He said to Linda after going to A+ Records to see the progress of the small symphony rehearsal.

"What extra weight?" Linda asked.

"Baba Yetu, this is too slow, and the impact is not enough..."

Song Ya counted with her fingers, "I want the best female lead singer, and I want the best male lead singer from an African local who can speak Swahili...the most suitable and popular black singer. I won't play this kind of small-scale rehearsal anymore. Go directly to the big symphony orchestra, the sooner you can get it out, the better. The chorus should have old people, middle-aged people, young people, children, men and women, black and white and yellow..."

"It's easy to talk about a male singer. I'm sure I'd like to come if I invite you. Who is the female singer looking for? The best...your ex-wife?" Linda thought for a while and asked.

"Uh...don't do it, the female lead singer doesn't have a strong sense of presence, frequent rehearsals will delay her career, and I designed a bel canto..." Song Ya said hesitantly.

"And who's the best? Bel Canto... the pick of opera musical singers, Leah Salonga?" Linda asked.

"It's a good candidate, he's still Asian, and his singing skills are better than Mimi's."

Song Ya thought for a while and nodded in approval.

"Wow, you really dare to say anything after divorce."

Linda smiled.

"Originally, pop singers are sometimes not as good as professional singers." Song Ya has been a singer, producer, and record company owner for so many years, and she still has a certain appreciation ability. "A large part of Mimi's singing depends on her natural talent. Eat with a good voice."

"Leah Salonga is currently playing Epony in the 10th anniversary version of Les Misérables. Broadway singers are very busy. I have to check the schedule." Linda said.

"As soon as possible."
