Two Hundred and Thirty One Decision

despair.

Daniel took off the earphones, put them on the table, turned his sore and stiff cervical spine, noticed the gesture of the producer outside the live broadcast room, and nodded to confirm, the producer quickly opened the door and walked into the live broadcast room. He squatted down beside him, lowered his voice and said:

"Confirmed. This is indeed an independent band. The songs they release on major platforms are their own versions recorded in independent recording studios and uploaded through the song cast. Because of a video accident on Youtube Become popular and gain countless attention."

There is no need to continue the follow-up words, Daniel can't understand it any more, and he groaned softly, "So their only single that can be found has become the focus." After a pause, Daniel asked again One line, "Aren't they signed to a record label yet?"

"I haven't found relevant information for the time being, but I haven't dug it seriously. Do I need to dig it?" Producer Ross Davis, who has worked with Daniel for many years, could understand his partner's expression and asked.

Daniel shook his head.

There are countless similar independent bands, and the daily work of the radio station is as heavy as a mountain. How can they conduct in-depth investigations on every independent band.

Since the initial investigation found no clues, it means that indie bands are still indie bands. Even if the contract is signed, there is no splash; otherwise, the smart record company has already seized the opportunity of this YouTube trend to promote it-such a free advertising opportunity, it would be too stupid to miss it.

Ahmet Ertecom, who was far away in New York, sneezed for no reason, but couldn't stop, and sneezed three times in a row, almost flying out of his nose, which made Ahmet full of question marks : Who is speaking ill of him behind his back? Could it be that guy Ronan?

Is it too cruel to complete the creation, production and recording of the entire album within two months?

Ahmet pressed the intercom and connected to his assistant, "How is the recording work of the King Band going one day? Any news from Curtis?"

"...I haven't received any news here, do you need me to go to the recording studio to ask?" The assistant was also a little embarrassed, Curtis's big Buddha is not something anyone can easily provoke, Curtis even Ahmet I don't even buy it, let alone a little assistant?

Ahmet pondered for a while, "No need." The recording work needs to be focused, so they should not bother.

Back to New Orleans.

Rose saw Daniel's thoughtful expression, and immediately interpreted Daniel's entanglement and struggle, but in fact, such hesitation had already explained Daniel's thoughts, "Are you going to play?"

As mentioned earlier, the playlists of commercial radio programs are signed contracts, not only involving copyright issues, but also commercial promotion agreements.

For example, when Bruno Mars releases a new album, Atlantic Records will be able to notify its cooperative radio stations that the title track of Bruno's new album must be played at least fifty times a week to ensure the promotional effect.

Because of this, most of the music playlists on commercial radio stations are top-of-the-chart hits.

Therefore, in daily life, listeners call the radio station to order songs, but they seldom get the song they requested, and often the host plays another song; the same is true just now, Duncan applied for "Chasing the Light", and Daniel Instead it played Adele.

So, are there exceptions?

certainly.

It is also impossible for commercial radio stations to play all the hit songs on the list. They must take care of their own audience to ensure that they can satisfy the preferences of more loyal listeners. Each radio station has its own rules, which vary according to the style, positioning, business model, etc. of the radio station, and cannot be generalized.

In Daniel's radio program, he is not famous for recommending new songs and digging treasures, so his authority is relatively not that loose; however, Daniel has qualifications and abilities, and the audience base is solid and stable. Within the framework, He also has a certain freedom.

Right now, Daniel is seriously considering playing "Chasing the Light," a song that's clearly not on the radio's playlist, but he has to take a risk.

The reason is simple.

Daniel's audience is not a group that likes to follow trends, and at the same time, they are not a group that likes rock - retro jazz is their orientation. Based on this, soul, rhythm and blues, disco, etc. is their daily choice.

Although it is not a problem that Daniel has the right to play one or two of his recommended songs on the radio, but after playing, the audience doesn't like it? What's more, the audience thinks that Daniel has started to follow suit, and then criticizes the show, so what should we do?

"Daniel, did you start to hesitate because so many hotlines requested to play it?" Ross asked, and the live broadcast is still in progress. After the song is played, Daniel will enter the live broadcast. They don't have time to slowly guess each other's thoughts.

Daniel shook his head, "You know I don't have such a personality. Those hit songs on the pop charts, any one of them, has much more listeners who apply; what really moved me was the phone call just now. A little curious, aren't you curious?"

"Curiosity." Ross nodded. "If I wasn't curious, I wouldn't conduct an in-depth investigation. However, curiosity cannot be a reason to take risks."

Daniel paused, looked at Rose, "What if I say, this is the reason for taking risks?"

"Chasing the Light", just like the title of the song, life always requires some attempts. Daniel knew that his reasons were absurd and funny, but sometimes it was like this, when a sudden thought whizzed by, and then he couldn't control it anymore, it could be called impulse or inspiration.

Ross was speechless.

Daniel looked at Rose's confused expression and laughed, "Let me think about it again, you are ready to stand by and watch my signal. I'm still not sure."

Then, Daniel patted Rose on the shoulder and said nothing more, because the song was about to finish and they had to return to the live broadcast.

Rose didn't say anything more, he believed that Daniel knew what he was doing, and then turned and left.

really.

After the show came back, Daniel didn't mention "Chasing the Light" at all, and he took control of the show with ease, and the live broadcast went on without incident.

"Listeners and friends in front of the radio, slowly, our show today is coming to an end, thank you very much for spending this time with me by the radio today. Before the end of the show, I hope to give the audience a last A song to accompany you to witness the coming of night."

"This song is a song that I am very curious about and looking forward to. Now, I will listen to it with you, 'Chasing the Light', sung by One Day Kings."
