Chapter 100 Copyright Issuance
"Of course I understand what you said."

After the dinner was over, under the baptism of envious or obsessed eyes from the audience, Han Yi and his party returned to Bin Yue, lit the fire and left.

However, instead of making a hasty left turn onto South Atlantic Avenue and merging traffic onto I-10W back into the main city, they continued east on Valley Avenue.In less than 10 minutes, we arrived at Quantong Plaza, the real heart of the Chinese district in Los Angeles.

Why is it called the "Central Vitality District" of the Chinese in Los Angeles?

On the left side of the square, there is Shanghai No. 8090, Boiling Point Smelly Pot, and across the street are Ajisen Ramen, Xiangweilou, Tancha, and Rongcheng Laozao Hotpot.And the inside of the square is even more impressive, with two-story buildings surrounded by an L-shape, Little Sheep, Dongting Spring, Yuxiang Garden, Peninsula Seafood Restaurant, and [-] Milk Tea, all lined up.

At any time and on any occasion, within half a mile of Quantong Plaza, there are different Chinese restaurants to satisfy the Chinese appetite of different regions.

Of course, it is the irreplaceable supermarket that makes Quantong Plaza truly dominate the commercial complex in the Chinese district.

Dahua, or its English name, 99 Ranch Market, is the common memory of all Chinese in Los Angeles.No matter if you are from the Mainland, Hong Kong, Macau or Taiwan, no matter how different your eating habits are, you cannot escape the fate of visiting Dahua once a week.

Whether it is Wangzai milk or Haidilao self-heating pot, every product that can evoke people's memories of life in Huaguo can be found on the shelves.

Lee Kum Kee, Laoganma, Master Kong, and Huang Feihong not only filled the stomach that was repeatedly owed thousands of miles away, but also healed the heart that missed hometown under another sky.

Tonight is Han Yi's first visit to San Gabriel after his rebirth, and of course the first time he stepped into the dark green automatic door of Dahua Supermarket.

There are three goals.One, bring a little Huaguo shock to 864 Stella Della Road.Second, contribute to Xiaoru's end-of-semester career.Third, let Yuzhen, who always eats fresh vegetables every time she travels to Huaguo, open her eyes and fill her mouth with food.

"Adrian, at my request last week, got in touch with some electronic music, hip-hop and pop music singer-songwriters he is familiar with...Xiao Xu, do you want this?"

Pushing the shopping cart with red handles, Han Yi paced slowly among the shelves, chatting with Zhao Youzhen about the preparations for Han's release.From time to time, you will be attracted by the products passing by and change the subject.

Xu Yiru turned her head and looked at the Yimei Taipei Egg Roll, which tasted like fish floss, which Han Yi took off from the shelf and held in his hand.

"Hey, I don't want everything that writes about Baodao or Taipei." Xiaoru sighed lightly, but her head tilted unconsciously, causing the corners of her mouth to curve slightly.

"Oh."

Han Yi frowned and curled his lips, but the Yimei egg roll in his hand was still not put back.

"... need two boxes."

"Hey." Han Yi dragged his voice in satisfaction, how could he not know what this little girl likes to eat.

"Xiao Ru said he wanted two boxes." Standing beside Han Yi, quietly watching him take another five boxes from the shelf, Yuzhen couldn't help reminding him.

"Two boxes for her, two boxes for you, and two boxes for me." Han Yi stacked the boxes together and clapped his hands, "You have to try this, Yuzhen, it's delicious."

"You have said this sentence many times since entering the door."

Walking at a parallel angle with Han Yi, Zhao Youzhen put his hands behind his back, leaned forward slightly, his eyes were as gentle as if he was watching a white gold snore.

"Winter melon tea, Xizhilang, Weilong, drunkard peanut, and that...what's it called?"

Zhao Youzhen pointed to the four colorful glass jars at the bottom of the overcrowded shopping cart, feeling that the names he had just memorized slipped away from his mind.

"Food—sweeping—light." Xu Yiru seemed to be in a good mood, walking on tiptoe in front of the two of them, humming an unknown but cheerful tune, "He likes this kind of kimchi the most."

"It's not kimchi, let's serve food." Han Yi corrected seriously, "The last stubbornness of Shuchuan people."

The food made by Alex and Harold was delicious, but no matter how well the xiao long bao and ramen were made, it couldn't solve Han Yi's crazily craving for hot and spicy taste buds.

In addition to recommending Anthony Bourdain’s Shuchuan food special to the two chefs to let them find their feelings, Han Yi especially needs rice sweeping, Lay’s spicy pot-flavored potato chips, and Master Kong’s spicy beef noodles for short-term emergency .

After all, in the next week and a half until the graduation ceremony, Han Yi's schedule was tighter than ever before, and it may have become a luxury to squeeze out more time in the Chinese district.

"So you like to eat kimchi." Zhao Youzhen nodded thoughtfully, "Then why don't you touch it at all in Xiannong Tang?"

"Because this is not a bubble... Forget it, it can help you understand, whatever it is." Han Yi waved his hand, realizing that the Korean girl was just teasing himself, so he stopped arguing.

Seeing Han Yi "swallowing his breath", Yuzhen's smile finally turned into a dimple-sinking bloom.

Supermarket purchases on Sunday night, plain and warm chatting and amusing, walking side by side at a leisurely pace.

It's like life after marriage.

Never dreamed of it, but it seems pretty good.

If all the fragments in the marriage are the same as the wonderful scene at this moment, people can't help but want to extend this aisle infinitely.Well, no wonder so many people are scrambling to hold each other's hands and step into the church.

Well, let's put it this way...if this is a marriage, the one in front of you is...

Zhao Youzhen looked down slightly, looking at Xiaoru who only left a beautiful shadow for them.After a few seconds, he shook his head amusedly, clearing his mind.

I can't read the book of Nicholas Jorn anymore... I almost imagined a daughter for myself.

"go on."

Zhao Youzhen uses career to cover up love...she doesn't know what it is.

"Who are the singer-songwriters?"

"21 Savage, you must know." Han Yi chose the name closest to Zhao Youzhen from the list, "I performed at home last time, remember?"

"I must remember, UTA's signed artist." For some reason, Han Yi's tone and way of saying "home" made her feel very comfortable, "I thought he had already signed a copyright distribution agreement."

"No, the distribution agreement, including the record agreement, hasn't been signed yet." Han Yi's smile was rather fortunate.If rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests, then Han Yi is indeed not a rabbit either.As a dog, his favorite thing to do is to loosen the lawn in front of his house.

"He has only sent three mixtapes, one with Sonny Digital and two by himself. Sony's Epic is also in contact with him and wants to sign a full contract, but 21 is still closer to us, after all, all acting contracts are signed. Well, after signing the full contract, there is no need to share any more money.”

"Adrian will talk to him next Wednesday. If it's suitable, we will sign a full contract with him in the name of Han Chuan, and then TGO will be in charge of his artist management section."

"I... I'm a little worried." The heart-to-heart conversations made Zhao Youzhen more and more daring to show her vulnerability in front of Han Yi, "Pop singers, including producers, I am very confident. But Rapper, I don't There is no way to get used to that way of life, and you can’t get into their inner world. Of course, there is no problem with management, but I’m afraid the stickiness will not be too high.”

"We can look for a manager with experience in the rap field to join us. Ah, I can ask Andre to see if he has any recommended candidates." Han Yi thought for a moment, then continued, "And, if 21 is with us Signing the contract, my idea is to let Ray and Abramovich take charge of the A&R work of his record sector, and then, no matter in music or life, you will have helpers who are more culturally similar to him, so don’t worry too much.”

"Okay, I'm just telling you. I'll do what I have to do, so don't worry." Zhao Youzhen nodded and turned to comfort Han Yi.

"I understand, you've done a good job." Han Yi put another pack of Xu Yiru's favorite pearl milk tea Daifu into the shopping cart, "However, you shouldn't be too nervous on Khalid's side? I said Bi Li, that SoundCloud friend. He and 21... are not the same concept."

"Khalid won't." Like Han Yi, Zhao Youzhen was also very cautious in his words, "He is quite special."

In the United States, many things cannot be said too clearly.Bili's netizen Khalid, whom Han Yi attaches great importance to, has followed his father, who was a soldier, to and fro between military bases since he was a child.Fort Stewart, Fort Campbell, and the U.S. Army Battalion in Heidelberg, Germany, grew up in this environment, and Khalid, who studied singing and musical theater since he was a child, is naturally very different from most black rappers.Whether it's accent or values, they are very different.

As for 21 Savage, the ruthless man who has been blocked by all educational institutions in the DeKalb School District, Georgia, for holding a gun since the seventh grade, and who lives in a juvenile detention center is the most famous cultural specialty in Atlanta——Southern pan-blood gang rapper , part-time Drug Dealer.

This kind of demon king who lost his best friend in a gun battle at the age of 19 and was shot six times by a member of a rival gang on his 21st birthday, it is no wonder that Zhao Youzhen felt that he couldn't control it.

Han Yi himself didn't like it, and even physically rejected gangster rappers like 21 Savage. J. Cole, who can almost be called a poet, is a master of words and sentences, and Kendrick Lamar, who carries the entire black community on his shoulders, is the object of Han Yi's appreciation.

But the rewards are really sweet.

Not to mention 21 Savage, just considering the strong performance of hip-hop music in the mainstream market in the next few years, Han Yi will have to see one and accept one, until he owns half of the rap circle.

As for the correct values ​​to output?What kind of music does the American want to use as the growth nutrient for the next generation, and what does it have to do with him as a Chinese?
Of course, just like what Zhao Youzhen worried about, not only Korean girls can't directly manage rappers, Han Yi should also try to avoid the bloody storm in the rap circle as much as possible.It's not that he is worried that someone will turn him into XXXTentacion or Pop Smoke, after all, no matter how lawless gangsters are, they will not provoke Hollywood's top capital.Partly because their lucrative record contracts are signed by these capital tycoons, and partly because this group of ragtags hanging sneakers on telephone poles can’t beat Albania, Russia or retired special forces of the Navy SEALs.

The key reason why Han Yi needs a helm in the field of hip-hop music is that, except for a few people such as Eminem, Machine Gun Kelly, G-Eazy and Lil Peep, rap, like the NBA, is a game in which black players have an absolute advantage.To gain enough appeal in this game, at least the character in front of the stage must have dark skin.

In fact, he already had a perfect candidate in his mind, but Han Yi needed to borrow Dr. Dre's influence to move the giant Buddha.

"When you get Khalid done on Tuesday, we will let him play a role in Han Chuan's side. This kid not only has a good voice, but also has a strong creative ability."

"He sent me a private SoundCloud link with all the unreleased demos."

"It can only be said that he is indeed a genius."

"Yeah, I told you... Do you want to go and have a look too?" Han Yi pointed to the cooked food area, where Xiao Ru was standing there, politely looking for the sales aunt to pack lo mei.

"Wait...wait for a while before going." The aroma of a mixture of various delicacies could not be stopped, and Zhao Youzhen swallowed hard, "Let's finish talking about copyright distribution... speed up."

"Xiao Xu!" Hearing You Zhen's words, Han Yi directly raised his voice and waved to Xiao Ru.

"what's up?"

"The things you packed..." Han Yi put his index finger on Zhao Youzhen's head, "I want a copy for Xiao Zhao too, thank you!"

"I want it." Xu Yiru turned sideways, showing the two boxes that the sales aunt was packing, and her detailed understanding of Xiao Zhao's life habits, "You are busy with your work, wrap it on me!"

Before I knew it, I began to play the role of a housewife.

It's really distressing.

Xu Yiru pursed her lips, no pain could be seen between her relaxed and comfortable brows.

It's not to say that the male lead must be outside and the female lead inside, but when the other party is too busy...it's pretty good to take care of it a little bit, right?
Speaking of which, I am a housewife, and Yi Yi works hard outside, so isn't the other...

Oops, Nicola Jorn recommended by sister Yuzhen, delete the e-book when I get back!

There is no one who has a child older than himself!
"The other few are pop singer-songwriters or electronic music producers. I recommended to Adrian a newcomer who just graduated from NYU, Ali Love, whose stage name is Lauv. He graduated last year and didn't work with any company. After signing the contract, everything from image to singing skills to creative ability is in line with our requirements."

Unable to hear the strange psychological activities of Xu Yiru and Zhao Youzhen, Han Yi continued to tell the Korean girl about the signing progress of Han Distribution.

"Same as Khalid, he will come directly to LA to sign with us on Tuesday. In addition, Adrian is very influential in the electronic music circle and has found several creative groups with good potential, Cheat Codes, NOTD, and There were a couple of other producers. Oh, and Diplo pushed two great guys over there, Grey."

In this passage, Han Yi deliberately concealed his leading role in the selection of artists, so as not to appear too forward-looking and arouse Zhao Youzhen's suspicion.This series of electronic music production groups and individuals whose names were mentioned or omitted were all named by Han Yi for Adrian to contact.

As mentioned before, electronic music, like jazz music, is quite different from mainstream music in terms of record agreements.Pop music or hip-hop singers generally have to sign at least 1+3 album contracts, but in the field of electronic music, it is not uncommon to sign one-to-one or even one-to-one.Only well-known producers like The Chainsmokers, DJ Snake, or Zedd who are signed to a major record label will be bound for a longer period of time.

This feature also made Han Yi's layout in the electronic music field much easier.

When you see the right producer, just wave your checkbook and sign the contract.

"In addition to being a behind-the-scenes producer, the things I just mentioned can go to the stage as a DJ to perform. So when Adrian signs the contract, you have to be deeply involved and help them in the two Good results in all respects.”

"Okay." Zhao Youzhen accepted the challenge happily, "I'm quite interested in DJ, and I feel that there is still a lot of room for development in the future."

"Indeed." Seeing that Xiaoru had packed the food and walked towards them with a smile on his face, Han Yi didn't hold back, and shook out the last and most important progress in today's copyright distribution field. .

"Then it's pure behind-the-scenes personnel. Adrian went to contact a management company called Electric Feel Entertainment, which specializes in serving behind-the-scenes composers, lyricists and producers."

"I'm going to buy it as a whole and put it on TGO's side, as a connection port for our behind-the-scenes talents."
