King of Hollywood Chapter 53: General election

Chapter 53 General Election

This matter dates back to 1998. Before that, m was only a second-rate record company, even if it had already launched some good singers and groups. (_彩&虹&文&学){Rainbow Literature Network m} But when Britney and Christina turned out, they suddenly became noticeable and became a place many young singers yearned for, so in 98 On a certain day of the year, 21-year-old Allen, who should have formed a band with some friends as a guitarist and arranged most of the lyrics? Kemi joined m as an intern.

After an internship for almost half a year, because of good performance, he became a regular employee and participated in the production of several albums by Britney and Christina, and then began to write songs and write the first song. The first is "whereverull". To be precise, it should be the prototype of "whereverull". After listening to Norton, it felt pretty good. It happened that Adrian was trying to find a new song for Avril Lavigne, so he recommended it.

Although some of the melodies and lyrics are not the same as the original ones, they still easily recall Adrian's memories of "whereverull". This song was also widely circulated at the beginning. A good record company operates so that it only starts to hit the charts almost two years after its release, and the results won't be so bad.

Naturally, Adrian bought this song. Norton and Kemi also improved it under his suggestion. The final product is almost the same as the original version, but because it was prepared for Avril, some of the lyrics were modified. In order to be more in line with the status of female singer. Kemi, who was approved by Adrian, stayed at m. So as for the theng... Anyway, the "blood debt" in the hands of Adrian is more than this, don't care too much.

This song was ready at the end of 1999, but for various reasons-mainly Avril Lavigne’s birthday-it was not released until the end of September this year. It doesn't matter, anyway, the song is already in hand, whenever you want to record and distribute it when you want to record it.

Although Avril wanted to make her debut work by Adrian and Norton, but still very fond of this song, especially the chorus part.

"This feeling is really great, I like the feeling of roaring out!" The girl said so excited to Adrian more than once when recording.

No matter in her past life or this life, she sings has a characteristic, that is, she likes to roar with full energy when singing a chorus. The feeling of that roaring catharsis can easily arouse the resonance of the audience. This is her advantage and her disadvantage. The advantage is that such a passionate interpretation is very easy to attract young fans, and the disadvantage is that if she does not change this way, she will easily lose popularity.

But don’t worry, it’s still early in that stage, she can sing happily in her own way without any scruples, and then slowly adjust it according to market feedback, don’t forget to have Adrian. If he is not relatively familiar with Avril Lavigne's style, he will not decide to use "whereverull" as her first single, and the facts have proved that his decision is correct. The girl and this song fit very well and quickly after the release Break into the top ten of p100 of "Billboard ".

This is a great result now. You know that after Christina released a new album at the beginning of last month, the top ten of "Billboard " p100 became the world of her and Britney. Adrian will Nora again? Several of Jones’s famous songs were “appropriated” to her, plus some nice songs that can be recalled that are similar to her style, and the music team behind them were tailor-made. After the launch of Christina’s new album this year, Popular.

Of course, she still can’t beat Britney in terms of sales and popularity. So far, Britney’s new album has sold 25 million copies worldwide, with sales exceeding 30 million just around the corner, and In the same situation of opening up the East Asian market, despite the relatively late release time, Christina's new album sales have just passed the 10 million level.

In any case, the two are competing fiercely on p100. Adrian decided to make all of Britney’s songs top the list of "Billboard " and racked their brains to scrape so many good ones. , Naturally will not allow failure. In fact, except for the three light rock songs that can only wait for the top of the same type of list, the other seven songs have walked once on the first p100, and although the song prepared for Christina is not so classic, but It also has a very high quality. After a little operation, this situation is now: "Billboard " p100 top ten was occupied by Britney and Christina for a long time, seven or eight positions.

Even, in a week last month, the top ten were all occupied, Britney accounted for six and Christina accounted for four, which aroused many people in the music industry. Many music critics have expressed their opinions, some of them are purely analyzing music, some are analyzing two female singers, and others suspect data falsification. After all, m Records or Universal Music now has the same parent company.

However, in the end, Adrian had anticipated this situation, so the data should be made as transparent as possible, and the rest have increased public relations efforts-this is not outside the rules-so if you want to pick the wrong one It's not that easy.

In short, this summer vacation, Britney and Christina became the two most dazzling female singers in the music industry. Their competition on various platforms has always been a topic of tabloid and public talk, and their fans In order to protect idols, they all speak evilly on different occasions. The happiest is Pepsi and Coca-Cola. Statistics show that their beverage sales have increased to varying degrees during this summer vacation, especially Pepsi. It is really cost-effective to spend 8 million to invite Britney as spokesperson.

Other than that, Eric? Norton is also very happy. With the achievements of these two albums, the position of the new Universal Music's artistic director has already been his.

Although Britney and Christina have reached the point where they don’t greet each other in the record company, the scale of competition is still within a certain range. When talking about each other in various programs, they will also praise or I recall the days when I was in the Mickey Mouse Club, and when I attended an occasion, I also made an intimate appearance. I saw no flaws at all, and women were born to act.

Of course, this will not happen in bed, especially when playing crazy, the two women will never rest without overwhelming each other.

Okay and off topic. In the two months or so when Britney and Christina dominated the top ten of the p100, other singers were either unavoidable or uncompetitive, even if they were easily in the top ten, It can only reach the seventh place at the most. Now the first single released by a newcomer has broken through this limit in a short time, and won the fifth place in the top ten. How can it not be exciting What?

Of course, in the eyes of singers and music producers with certain experience, this is not good news. This newcomer is the same record company as Britney and Christina.

Avril Lavigne doesn't care about these things. She has no other reaction than the joy and excitement of the first single. She finally remembered to hold a party celebration under the reminder of Christine. , But because of this, the location was placed in Stuart's home where he had been staying.

"I think you should go out to a bar or something, don't you think it's too crowded and troublesome?" Adrian, who won't give up the opportunity, asked Avril after coming over.

The girl dressed up very delicious today, because the singles are very good, so the mv plan that is going to be prepared is about to be put on the agenda. It was natural to design all kinds of shapes for her. So she now has long hair, wearing short-sleeved t-shirts, denim trousers and canvas shoes, with a moderate eye shadow.

But the answer to Adrian is not Avril Lavigne, and Kristin is only ten years old? Stuart.

"I can think of it as you think, our family is small and shabby, is it not suitable for parties?" Christine? Stuart made a lazy look with his hands on his hips, but with short hair and a neutral look, it was a little bad boy feeling and very interesting.

"Of course not, I just think that this is your home, in case something is broken or dirty, it is not appropriate." Adrian immediately waved his hand.

"It doesn't matter, there are not many people coming anyway." Avril played the round.

"Okay, okay, let's talk about another topic-Kristin, if you dress like this in the future, be careful that no one will marry you." Adrian laughed.

"leed!" Avril could not help raising her voice.

"Don't talk, don't talk," Adrian raised his hands in Kristin's stare, and then patted the girl's arm, "Congratulations, Wei Niu, it's pretty good, the enthusiasm can almost make people Melted."

"Thank you." Avril gave a rare sweet smile, and then thought of a light cough.

Adrian didn’t seem to notice this, but continued to say: "I already have a draft for the second single. As long as I communicate with Eric, I believe that the first draft can be completed soon. I think This song is also suitable for you. If you can achieve good results this time, then you can prepare your first album."

"Really?" Avril Lavigne showed a look of surprise.

"I think I still have this credit." Adrian raised an eyebrow and pretended to be displeased.

"No, I'm just..." The girl gestured in a panic and wanted to explain.

"Okay, I’m just kidding," Adrian laughed. "But there are two things I want to remind you, Wei Niu, first of all, have more time to practice the piano. The second single requires you to personally Play; second, prepare to write a song, the first album should have your own handwritten song anyway."

Although I heard that Avril's face was pale when she was going to practice playing the piano, the following sentence made her happy again: "No problem!"

"Have you heard such good news, don't you mean it?" Adrian blinked.

Avril Lavigne immediately made a grimace: "This is it."

After finishing pulling Christine, he ran away, and Christine also said: "Goodbye, leed."

From the smirking expression, she knows that most of the time she guessed it was not a good name. Adrian shrugged her shoulders and didn't take her to heart, but Avril.........Although there was only a moment just now, he still saw the fastness of the other person's face flashing fast. This kind of performance has existed since the last trip to Napanee. Adrian can roughly guess Avril's thoughts, but for this girl with a famous personality, even if you can capture the other's thoughts, it is difficult to turn it into an advantage.

Adrian has never overlooked something because of her good relationship with her, especially after last year’s lesson, Avril Lavigne is not Cate or Sarah. Although there are weaknesses and flaws, her personality is still very selfish, don’t look at her She was very lively in front of Adrian and thought that this was all she had. During training, she had no dispute with her teacher.

It’s also Adrian who had an appetite for her from the beginning, and also personally visited and invited, otherwise it would be almost impossible for her to treat herself like this.

It doesn’t matter, there is always time, and there are memories of previous lives for reference. Adrian believes that this world will not have unsolvable problems.

This is what happened in September, and not long after entering October, a problem was placed in front of him.

"Suspected monopoly?" Adrian raised an eyebrow after listening to Claude's introduction.

"Yes, a suspected monopoly requires a series of reviews of this transaction." Claude sighed.

"Damn it, why didn't they investigate Time Warner based on this?" Although it has been expected that this might happen, Adrian Still complained.

"Because at&tadband coverage reaches 38 states, but Warner does not." Crowder simply replied, and then added: "But this time Warner is on our side."

"That's for sure." Adrian waved his hand. If he didn't stand on their side, what if someone would use the same excuse to deal with Warner in the future?

From this point of view, it is very wise to abandon Comcast and choose at&tadband. If both companies are acquired at the same time, it will undoubtedly be blocked by antitrust regulators, and as a group lacking history In this case, it is easy to be attacked by the group.

"Is there a deadline for review?" Adrian asked immediately.

"No, there is no deadline for informal review." Claude spread his hands, Adrian frowned, which is not good news.

In the middle of last month, Hasbro failed to escape their clutches and became a member of the media. Then, almost half a month later, Claude formally submitted an acquisition application to at&tadband. This move shocked many people. They had just completed the acquisition of Hasbro, and immediately aimed at a super goal that the toy company could not match. Second, most media practitioners knew what at&tadband meant.

"They are too risky, I don't think it is a wise choice to buy at&tadband." Murdoch said this when he talked about the media's actions in an interview.

Although Lei Shidong didn’t make a clear statement, privately there was rumored news that he complained to the lowly people that the two boys in the media were too arrogant.

In short, most people are not optimistic about this acquisition. Although the media has always been rich and rich, the acquisition of tbs and the acquisition of Global, it seems that they have never worried about funds, and they have also created a lot of miracles. The operation was very good. The loss report displayed in the first quarter of the first half of the year showed that people knew what was going on, but some things were not so easy to fix, and the subsequent halt seemed to prove their opinion.

"Even Lei Shidong is slightly biased towards others," Claude explained. "Although he always looks at us well, he always hopes that we can develop steadily. So if there is a serious setback, he will You're welcome to show your minions in the first time. In addition, Comcast seems to be a bit tempted, wanting to compete with us for the ownership of at&tadband."

"So, are we "singing on all sides" now?" Adrian suddenly laughed.

"I hate Chinese." Claude rolled his eyes.

"The translation is called "egedonalldes", I think it's very vivid." Adrian said unhurriedly.

"The siege of all parties? It is indeed very vivid." Claude turned his head to think about it. "No one wants us to get at&tadband, even Warner on our side."

"What does dear Mr. McDonald say?" Adrian asked suddenly.

"What else can I say, the same is true of the old fox, Mr. Garcia. The current situation is unclear, and the two senators will not make clear their position." Claude shrugged again.

According to US law, there are two senators in each state~IndoMTL.com~ and now two senators in California have received large contributions from the media. Generally speaking, investing in a senator is more cost-effective than investing in a president. The senator’s term of office is relatively long, and it is relatively easy to reappoint, and the power is not small. Every large group has its own spokesperson in Congress.

However, the senators will not accept the political contributions of a group alone, this is not because the law stipulates the upper limit of political contributions-this thing is too easy to circumvent-but out of their own politics Considering the future, there is also a House of Representatives who can sell themselves at a good price and are completely tied to a certain group, but the Senators are very poor, so it is not surprising to get such an answer.

"What do you think of this year's election, Crow?" Adrian asked suddenly when he tapped his finger on the armrest twice.

"General election?" Crowder raised an eyebrow. "The specific circumstances need to be checked, and the election date has not yet arrived. The situation is not so clear. The state is not dominant, but Bush Jr. has certain advantages in Oregon, Idaho and other states,"

"Maybe..." Adrian said slowly, holding his chin. "You can send a private representative, and privately... meet with Bush."
