Chapter 76
"Hey Su, can you tell me why you want to participate in anti-war activities?"
"Su, could you please tell me your inspiration for this song?"
"As the global ambassador of the NBA, do you feel that you have a heavy responsibility?"
"Su Yan, domestic netizens want to ask you, will you return to China to hold a concert?"
Su Yan had just allowed these reporters to enter his lounge.
The reporters started a barrage of questions.
After all,
Su Yan is now synonymous with traffic.
If they can interview him, these reporters can complete the interview. Traffic indicators for this month!
Su Yan answered them one by one very patiently.
"I wrote this song because the world needs peace"
"There are too many people who have been displaced because of the war, and there are also children who have not even had time to grow up."
Subsequently,
Su Yan also answered questions from domestic reporters.
He said that he would go back one day in the future.
However... his career has just started, and he needs to spend a lot of energy on his work.
He wants to put his current work first. The business is running well.
After dealing with these reporters, NBA stars have flooded into Su Yan's lounge. In the past few days, they have become friends with Su Yan. They even want to make an appointment with Su Yan to attend their House party. Fortunately. NBA stars have limited time. The event is over. What awaits them will be day and night training.
……
"Didi didi~"
In the lounge,
Su Yan finished taking off the light makeup on his face.
He also washed his face to freshen it up.
Then, the phone in his pocket rang. The name on the phone was"Brother Potted Plant".
This It was Su Yan's note to Weiken according to the habits of domestic audiences.
During the chat with Su Yan, Weiken himself also knew that he had a nickname called""Sixty-Seven" Potted Plant".
But he didn't care.
Because He himself also felt that his previous hairstyle looked like a potted plant...
Fortunately, he no longer has dreadlocks.
Instead, he has an afro like Brother Martian.……
"It's me, Bonsai, Sue, listen to me carefully"
"I need your help now"
"I'll be at Madison Square Garden soon and we need to meet and chat."
On the other end of the phone.
Wiken's voice sounded a little anxious.
This made Su Yan also look confused.
"Okay, Wiccan, but my time is limited, you'd better get to me quickly."
Su Yan said.
He hung up the phone.
In less than ten minutes,
Su Yan heard footsteps outside the door.
Then, there was a knock on the door of the lounge.
A pair of potted plants appeared from the glass window on the door. Eyes.
When he saw Su Yan waving, he pushed the door open and entered.
"Oh man, I finally see you."
"Fortunately, my assistant showed me your NBA live broadcast."
"Otherwise, if I go to your studio, I will definitely come up empty handed."
Wiccan hugged Su Yan excitedly.
After they both sat down,
Su Yan said
"Tell me, Wicken, do you need my help with anything?"
On the phone.
Wiccan was anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
So the two of them stopped talking about the past.
It would be much better to talk about the matter straight to the point.
"Sue, have you ever been to Las Vegas?"
"It is a famous gambling city and night city, as well as a tourist destination."
Wiccan asked.
Su Yan shook his head.
He has never been to the city of Las Vegas.
After he came to the United States, he only stayed in Los Angeles and Miami to make appointments.
Haven’t had time to go to Las Vegas yet
"What do you mean by this?"
Su Yan asked.
He was a little puzzled.
Why didn't Wiccan just talk about serious things?
Did he start to talk in circles?
"Wait until I'm done, Sue"
"You know, Las Vegas is a tourist city, so it needs a lot of promotion to tell people that it is a tourist city"
"so……"
"Universal Music has some collaborations with some casino hotels in Las Vegas"
"They want Universal Music to help promote Las Vegas this year"
"And Universal Music came to me"
"Obviously there are so many studios in the Republic Records department, but he just found my XO."
Wiccan complained.
He has been busy with his new album recently. He really doesn't have the energy to deal with the tasks assigned by Universal Music.
He has been made upset and angry these days.
Even the amount of flying leaves has increased. A lot.
Until today.
After his mind went blank, he slammed the door and came to Su Yan to help him.
"It seems like Universal Music has great faith in your abilities."
Su Yan said with a finishing blow.
Hearing this, Wiken looked frustrated.
"Forget it, Sue, Universal Music isn't as good as you think."
"They will forcefully assign tasks to artists, such as endorsements, song writing, charity activities, etc.……"
"The biggest problem is that I simply can’t refuse"
"Bruno, Adam and I all envy you."
"You are a free agent, and we have all lost our freedom, but Bruno feels it much better than me."
Wiccan used the chat with Su Yan to express his bitterness to Su Yan.
If possible, he also hopes to go out and work alone.
But... that is just a daydream.
He does not have Su Yan's talent.
He cannot use music. Binding artists to open up the market.
He rushes out to go it alone.
He won't make as much money as he did at Universal Music.
"Wiccan, you know me"
"All the music I collaborate with others is sung with them"
"I hope you can understand this."
Su Yan said.
From the very beginning when we collaborated with LinkinPark to our collaboration with Adam on Victoria's Secret some time ago, they were all based on chorus.
There is no such thing as writing songs for others alone.
To put it bluntly,
Su Yan He just wanted to realize the exchange of interests through the binding between songs.
Through this, he entered the North American music circle.
And other stars became more popular or made more money through music.
Hearing this, The Weeknd said
"Of course I understand, so I’d like to invite you to join me in creating a business card for Las Vegas"
"On the way here, I already called Universal Music and they are working on it."
"It didn't take long for me to get a message back."
Wiccan shrugged and said.
Although he was a little anxious, he was not a fool. Of course he knew
Su Yan's intention. However, everyone knew it by default. They didn't point it out to each other. Besides, now. Su Yan's traffic has reached a super first-tier level. Whether he can sing a duet with Su Yan depends entirely on Su Yan's mood. The usual friendship between the two people
……
"That's great. Let's go to my studio to talk in detail during this time."
"You know... there's no studio equipment here."
Su Yan picked up his mobile phone.
He stood up and said to Weiken
"All right."
The two of them got into Su Yan's business car and drove towards Su Yan's studio.
In the car,
The Weeknd and Su Yan talked a lot about Universal Music.
This made Su Yan understand.
He wanted to open a store. Large music record companies are not that easy.
The restraint and management of artists is very important.
However, the most important thing is that artists need to have a steady stream of excellent works so that they can appear in front of the public.
However, these are all That’s something to talk about later
……
Universal Music Division, in the office building of Republic Records.
President Monterey.
I'm watching Su Yan's thousands of people singing in an NBA event.
While watching, I lamented to my assistant
"Look, this is a musician full of talent"
"I can't even imagine how much money we would have made if Su had signed with us?"
When Su Yan first appeared on the"The Voice" program,
Monterey's keen business sense made him find Su Yan quickly.
But... unexpectedly,
Su Yan rejected his kindness.
At first , he also thought that Su Yan couldn't understand the form.
However, the facts proved that he was terribly wrong. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Su Yan stepped from scratch to a top-notch position step by step. It is only one Grammy Award away from being on the front line. However, this is enough to bring about a huge change in Monterey. And, in recent times, Su Yan and Universal Music’s brother company, Universal Pictures, are very close..He helped Universal Pictures produce two movie inserts. He even brought"Fast and Furious 7" back to life. This made him a loyal fan of Su Yan.
"Fortunately, we have Taylor in our company."
"Ferrari's business deal has been completed very well. For this reason, Ferrari has also increased the endorsement fees for our artists."
"I hope Taylor can keep this man and not be snatched away by another woman."
Monterey prayed again.
Taylor is the same as The Weeknd.
Although they are artists from Universal Records, the department they signed with is Republic Records.
In his eyes, with Taylor bound to Su Yan, they are equal to Republic Records. Yu tied a huge money tree……[]
Monterey's words had just finished. outside the door.
Republic Records Business Department employees.
Knocked on the door and walked in.
Something she wanted to report.
It was Weeknd who wanted to collaborate with Su Yan on a new song.
Let’s create a city card for Las Vegas together
"Is what you said true?"
"Yes, boss, the call came from The Weeknd himself."
Hearing what the employee said.
Monterey had an excited expression on his face
"You tell Weeknd, there's no problem. I'll communicate with you in Las Vegas. Monterey said quickly.
The communication with Las Vegas is not a big problem.
After all, this city wants traffic.
And now Su Yan has a very large traffic.
Las Vegas will not refuse. of
……
Soon 0.
Su Yan and the others arrived at the studio. at the same time.
I also received a reply from Universal Music.
That means agreeing to the cooperation between Bonzai and Su Yan. and.
Universal Music even sent out an email.
Inside is Universal Music Company, a formal invitation to cooperate.
"Sue, it's all done."
"So, do you have any ideas for a city card for Las Vegas?"
In the music studio.
The Weeknd asked Su Yan curiously.
Su Yan thought for a while.
He really has a song that is quite suitable for Las Vegas.
After all, the image of Las Vegas has always been sinful. The city is full of pornography, gambling and drugs.
It is also a paradise for many people to have fun.
"Just wait for me."
Su Yan said.
Then,
Su Yan entered the production room as usual.
Only Weeknd and his team members were left, sitting in the monitoring room.
Like other singers.
When they saw Su Yan in When making the interior,
I couldn't sit still at all.
So,
Weeknd followed Brother Martian's example and lay on the glass door.
He also asked his assistant to take a photo with the same composition as Brother Martian.
Then he posted it on social platforms. Up!
This photo instantly ignited the Internet. Entries such as the new song by Weeknd Sue. It was also topped by netizens on the hot list!
"Exactly the same location!"
"He and Bruno even move in the same way."
"Are they going to collaborate on a new song?"
"The last person to lie down like this was Bruno, and then he collaborated with Su on the song"Uptown/Funk"》!"
"my God! This is a sign that the two will collaborate on a new song!"
Except netizens.
Even Bruno himself came out and posted a message.
Bruno: Oh! Familiar location, familiar picture!
Looking forward to the cooperation between Weeknd and Su.
Even
Taylor, Katie, Linkin Park, Magic Red, etc.
The post was posted online.
Then, on The Weeknd's Instagram, it was just a post with a photo.
It received over a million likes in just a few minutes!
……
Inside Su Yan's studio.
Tens of minutes passed quickly.
When the"click" sounds.
Wiccan came up to him
"finished?"
"Yes."
He had seen Su Yan make music for other people.
When Su Yan actually made the music for him in just a few dozen minutes,
Wicken covered his mouth in excitement.
"Come and listen."
Su Yan played the accompaniment.
The difference from the past is that there is an extra LCD screen in the monitoring room now.
Su Yan asked the employees to buy it in order to put the lyrics.
Then, a bizarre prelude was accompanied by the sound of an electronic synthesizer.
sounded.
It made The Weeknd feel like he was on the streets of Las Vegas.
The streets here were filled with golden lights!
The city was decorated into a black gold world!
Then, he slowly closed his eyes..
Then he opened his arms.
He felt like he was on a racing car that was racing at 0.
6 speed at high speed!
"too crazy! my God!"
"This feeling is even better than being high!"
Weiken said excitedly.
As the accompaniment continued,
Weiken's eyes showed admiration.
"This accompaniment is like a ladder, rising bit by bit!"
"The beginning was like a time machine, letting me feel Michael Jackson's"beat/it"》!"
"There's even the sound of a pipe organ! etc! Isn't this an instrument specially prepared for horror movies?"
"OMG! Dude! You are a genius!"
The complexity of the arrangement amazes The Weeknd!
From a theoretical perspective, the production level of this accompaniment is on par with"Uptown/Funk"!
"I have a hunch!"
"This song will even be more popular than"uptown/funk"!"
This accompaniment was played from beginning to end.
The Weeknd was also amazed from beginning to end.
"yep, I have this hunch too."
Su Yan said with a smile.
Soon, the two people negotiated the cooperation.
Universal Music also sent the latest contract.
The terms in it were listed very clearly.
Songs that are the business card of the city need to be paid according to the number of plays.
Of course, the fee is capped at 30 million U.S. dollars.
The song is required to have more than 100 million views. This is not difficult for Su Yan. After all, Su Yan's songs now have more than 700 to 800 million views.
《"Uptown/funk" has reached an astonishing 1.7 billion views!
It’s only been two months since this song was born!
What Las Vegas is doing is no different than giving away money.
But what people want is traffic.
Las Vegas has plenty of money……

A lot of photos have been banned recently.
Pick something with a lot of fabric...
