Two Hundred and Fourteen People Search

"King of the Stage ()"

Signed to a record label.

Release an album of recordings.

The long journey of going round and round finally ushered in the moment when the willows are dark and the flowers are bright. One day the Kings have experienced endless dark years and finally saw the end.

Of course, Ronan clearly knows that releasing an album is only the first step, the first step to be seen by the market, but in the vast and endless music market, fierce competition and a sluggish environment are still full of difficulties. There are eight hundred musicians in the album, but not all music can be really heard, let alone recognized.

He knows, he knows all of this.

However, these are not important, what is important is that the band can finally take the first step, and this is an unparalleled moment.

"King for a Day"!

They are about to have a small place of their own in music history.

The corners of the mouth were lifted up like this, joy and happiness filled the entire chest, Ronan's eyes seemed to be filled with starlight, "This is very good."

Alice could also feel the joy exuded by Ronan from the inside out, and couldn't help laughing brightly together, empathizing with the taste of happiness, and laughed heartily, "Ah, Ronan , you are finally ready to release an album!"

"Ahhh!" Ronan also cheered in a low voice with Alice, and the two shouted like fools.

The noise disturbed other guests not far away, and they all cast condemning sights and expressed strong dissatisfaction.

Both Alice and Ronan covered their mouths, trying to control their voices, but out of the corner of their vision, they saw the embarrassed appearance of the other party's shoulders curled up but still unable to restrain the shaking, so they both laughed again, because they exerted too much force, It's like completing twenty sets of ab exercises.

"Hahahaha." Ronan couldn't hold back anymore, burst into laughter, and at the same time raised his voice in the direction of the guest, "I'm sorry, I'm very sorry." But the laughter still couldn't stop.

In fact, smiling and laughing, they have already forgotten why they smiled in the first place, and gradually fell into a vortex of non-stop silly laughter.

Alice raised her eyes, saw Ronan winking, and burst out laughing again, as if she had discovered some new land, she couldn't stop at all, and finally pitifully touched the tears seeping from the corners of her eyes, and sobbed at Ronan complained, "Stop making me laugh."

"I'm a singer, not a comedian, okay?" Ronan protested righteously.

As a result, Alice countered, "Really?"

Now it's all right, and the two of them laughed again, like an endless loop.

After some difficulty, Alice managed to control her emotions a little bit, and wiped off the embarrassment on her face with a tissue, "By the way, I need to confirm with you, a man named Ahmet Ertekon just called , That should be right? He said that he had a great time at the party with you last night."

"Really?" Ronan also rubbed the stiff facial muscles, always feeling a bit sore in his cheekbones and throat, "To be honest, I couldn't be sure what happened last night at all, I thought I messed it up, Because Ahmet didn't disclose any information at all, and I don't know how the conversation went."

Recalling carefully, Ronan still shook his head lightly, "I had a short conversation with Ahmet last night, but they were all polite words in social situations, but I couldn't make a judgment at all. After the conversation, I I thought the matter was over, but I didn't expect that there would be a follow-up today, so quickly?"

Ronan drank a big mouthful of orange juice, and felt a little better, then picked up the French fries and threw them into his mouth like a snack, "Wait, are you sure it's Ahmet Ertekang? ?"

"When he introduced himself, it was indeed the name. I should have pronounced it correctly." Alice was also a little uncertain.

Ronan thought for a while, "Wait..." He threw two more French fries into his mouth,

Then he picked up the phone and quickly searched on the phone.

Last night, when Ronan heard the name of Ahmet Ertekon, he always felt a little familiar, but unfortunately he couldn’t remember what happened. Now that he had the opportunity, Ronan wanted to search for it. Look, maybe be able to find some inspiration.

"Aha!" Enter the name, then enter Atlantic Records, and search again, and the result will come out - Ronan entered the name with some spelling mistakes, but Google still successfully recognized it, and the information was immediately listed.

After scanning it carefully, Ronan's eyes could not help showing a touch of surprise.

Ahmet Ertecon, co-founder of Atlantic Records in 1947 with Herb-Abramson.

Atlantic Records, which originated in New York, was once one of the most iconic music companies on the North American continent.

First of all, they are the first record company in the United States to really promote the rise of rhythm and blues (RB). They achieved great commercial success; later, they made persistent efforts and achieved many remarkable achievements in rhythm and blues for two consecutive decades, which really made the mainstream market fully accept this music style.

Secondly, they were the first batch of records in New York to install a multi-track recording system, leading the mainstream market for nearly a decade, and made great contributions to promoting the development of American recording studio technology.

Again, at their peak in the 1960s, they signed one of the greatest singers in American history in a century, "soul singer" Aretha-Franklin (Aretha-Franklin), and subsequently performed in soul, rock, blues, jazz, folk They have made remarkable achievements in other fields; signing the British rock band Led-Zeppelin (Led-Zeppelin) in the 1970s allowed them to create countless great achievements in the rock field.

It is no exaggeration to say that Atlantic Records has left a strong mark in the history of the three music genres of rhythm and blues, soul, and rock, and has truly become a historical process that promotes the development and evolution of the North American music market.

Of course, no matter how successful Atlantic Records is, it will not be able to escape the annexation of Wall Street after all. After reaching the height of Atlantic Records, small independent record companies will either refuse to compromise like Motown Records, and will eventually be submerged by the torrent of the times and disappear completely. ; or, like Atlantic Records, accept the recruitment, and then become a subsidiary of the giant alligator group, barely maintaining its own style.

In 1967, Atlantic Records was acquired by Warner Records; in 1990, Time Group and Warner Group merged to become the super giant Time Warner, and Atlantic Records still has its own place.

In 2004, after successively annexing several small independent records, Atlantic Records became one of the subsidiaries of Time Warner Group, second only to Warner Music.

Of course, the Ahmet Altecon that Ronan met last night was not the Ahmet Altecon who was the founder of Atlantic Records.
