American Entertainment: Taylor Swift wrote a song for the beginning

Chapter 226 Clear Stupidity, Meeting Again
"Boy, how are you doing lately? I heard that your drama's ratings are higher than those of NFL games?" Old Tang said with a smile on the other end of the phone, immediately stating the purpose of his call.

"If we only count the first episode, I'm afraid that's the case."

"Oh, you're setting new sitcom ratings records."

“But television is already a sunset industry.”

"You are right, but the reason why traditional industries are called traditional industries is because they support the operation of society. In other words, they will never decline, such as... the energy industry."

“Koch?”

"It's just one of those things."

"You were trying to help David Koch get a draft of the Reinvestment Act," Ryan said.

The day after that incident, Ryan found that a draft of the Reinvestment Act appeared in some major conservative media reports such as the Wall Street Journal and Fox News, causing unprecedented opposition.

"Yes, I have known David Koch for many years. He asked me for help, but it's not a big deal, just a piece of cake." Old Tang said.

David Koch has been a member of Mar-a-Lago for many years, and Jared Kushner is right about Donald Trump's circle of extremely wealthy people.

"Do you support tea?" Ryan asked.

"No, I won't support anyone. If I can't get to the table, then I will stay out of it. I only support myself." Old Tang laughed on the other end of the phone.

"Okay, let's stop talking about these stupid topics and talk about something that is actually related to your and my interests. When will you let me make a guest appearance in your series?" He ended the previous topic.

Ryan kept his promise.

"Ok, that's it. I'm going to Los Angeles soon." Old Tang was about to hang up the phone.

"Your daughter is coming to Florida. Did you know about this?"

"Which daughter?" Old Tang couldn't help but ask.

"My eldest daughter just met me in a nightclub last night. I proposed cooperation with her. You know, I have a fashion brand."

"Ryan, I think you should find someone else to work with. My daughter won't get involved. She has her own things to do." Old Tang's tone became serious.

"This is a win-win opportunity. Your daughter may be able to build a reputation in the fashion industry, and Stray's products can also be sold in your daughter's personal brand store."

"Be honest, Ryan, I know what you want to do. When I was your age, I also liked to pick up girls, but she is not the same type as you, and you already have a fiancée. I won't let my daughter come into contact with a star who has broken off his engagement." Old Tang chuckled.

I'm not planning on breaking off the engagement.

"Stay away from her and give up all your thoughts about her. This is my only advice, otherwise you will be prepared to bear the wrath of a father." Old Tang muttered.

"That's very expertly said."

"Of course, my daughter is pursued by many people. She is the most beautiful girl in the United States. I have been protecting her from harassment by some people."

"So you'll let her get married?"

"Of course not. The final decision is in her hands, but the candidates must pass my test." Old Tang said, and he sounded like an important Grammy judge.

At the same time, in the male DJ dormitory, Brother 3 was standing next to Yinghao, and on the other side was Avicii, and the three were watching the reviews of "Power" on the Internet.

"Shit, you're really famous!" Brother 3 couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw that a certain electronic music discussion group on Reddit was full of positive comments.

"It only took one night." Avicii couldn't help but sigh. It only took one night for Myspace to gain hundreds of thousands of fans, and the number of fans is still growing rapidly.

"This is thanks to Ryan, he gave me this opportunity," said Yinghao.

He was absolutely certain that if Ryan had not sung the song and had not participated in it, the discussion about the song would be less than one-tenth of what it is now.

"By the way, where did you go last night? Why did you only come back this morning?" Brother 3 asked again.

"Well...actually it was because of a woman. After the performance last night, I met a woman in a nightclub. She was probably in her forties. She said she was drunk and asked me to drive her home. I thought at the time that I was just driving her home, but she invited me in to sit down. She said she wanted to talk to me about music and praised me for being cute..." Ying Hao spoke about what happened last night with lingering fear.

"As soon as she entered, she touched me, and I couldn't help it, so... when I came out this morning, she gave me a wad of cash. The woman is a dentist, and she left me her phone number and told me to make an appointment with her tomorrow."

"Fuck! You're so lucky to get money for having sex." Brother 3 muttered. When he was in the Netherlands before, Ying Hao was not noticed by any women because of his appearance.

"When you become famous, you will also receive this kind of treatment. I'm sure that if it weren't for this song, she wouldn't have fallen in love with me at all." Ying said with a smile, still reminiscing about last night, which was his first time.

"I'd like to..." Brother 3 scratched his head.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about music. The main melody of your song..." Avicii started discussing with Yinghao at this time. Compared to these additional "benefits", he was more concerned about the music itself.

On the other hand, Kevin Harris, who was signed by Ryan before, was also paying attention to the comments about this new song on the Internet. In comparison, the new song released by Kevin Harris before was like a stone thrown into the sea. Except for a little splash at the beginning, it quickly sank to the bottom of the sea and no one cared.

This kid is really lucky, why didn't Ryan guide me in the beginning? He thought to himself.

Ryan is very good at this big room style. In Kevin Harris's opinion, this song was obviously completed with the help of Ryan.

Kevin Harris looked at the time, then began to wash and dress. He put mousse on his hair in front of the mirror, then changed into the clothes he had prepared in advance after returning last night, then admiring himself in front of the mirror for a long time, and finally called Ellie Goulding.

"Shall I pick you up now?" Kevin Harris said.

He finally got Ellie to go out together, today.

"Sorry, my boss said he has something to talk to me about, so I have to go back on my word." Ellie apologized on the other end of the phone.

Kevin Harris's face froze, and then he immediately changed his words: "Well, congratulations, at least Ryan didn't forget you, that's a good thing."

"Yes, the boss released a new song last night. Do you think he will let me sing it?" Ellie imagined.

"The possibility is probably very low." Kevin shook his head and reminded her. Ryan had previously collaborated with big-name female singers. Wouldn't it be a waste of resources to give this song to Ellie?
"Yeah, I thought so too. What do you think I can do to get Ryan to give me this song? This is my last chance." Ellie imagined that her new song also did not cause any discussion. This was not a good sign and would make her lose Ryan's resources.

"The boss is not that kind of person, and he has a fiancée." Kevin Harris quickly reminded, dispelling Ellie Goulding's idea.

"You're right, he has a fiancée, it's immoral to do this." Ellie tried to say.

"Yes, and it's very risky. If the news gets out, Taylor's fans will drown you in the saliva."

"Yes."

"Then I'll pick you up and take you to the bad room?" Kevin felt relieved a little, and then suggested that if all went well, he could go out on a date with Ellie this afternoon.

"Okay, I don't feel like driving today."

Kevin Harris put down the phone, couldn't help cheering, and immediately picked up the car keys and went out.

He waited downstairs at Ellie's house for a full half hour before he saw her come out.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting." Ellie opened the car door and saw that she was wearing a sparkly low-cut suspender jumpsuit, with heavy makeup and dressed up gorgeously.

As soon as the car door was closed, a strong smell of perfume immediately filled the car.

"You look so nice today," Kevin said.

"Thank you, I think the boss will like this style." Ellie nodded.

"Wait... didn't we just say that..." Kevin Harris laughed awkwardly.

"What did he say? I can't deliberately make myself look ugly in front of him, right?" Ellie asked back.

"That's true." Kevin Harris still felt a little uneasy.

Looking at Ellie's back as she walked into the bad room, Kevin became even more uneasy. In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and Kevin still didn't see Ellie come out of the bad room.

"What are you talking about? It's already noon." Just as Kevin was wondering whether he should go upstairs to take a look, he finally saw Ellie walking out the back door - and Ryan.

You can see that Ellie's face is really excited. She takes the initiative to put her arm around Ryan. The next second, when she sees Kevin Harris, a trace of panic flashes across her expression.

"Why are you here?" Ellie thought Kevin Harris had left.

"I..." Kevin Harris felt a sense of despair, and turned away without replying. But he was stopped by Ryan.

"Since you are here, let's go eat together."

"Forget it, you guys go eat." Kevin smiled.

"It's a good opportunity to talk to you two about work." Ryan insisted on having Kevin Harris come along.

With no other choice, Kevin had to go with them. He got into Ryan's luxury nanny car.

Ryan asked the driver to drive to a high-end restaurant in downtown Orlando.

Kevin Harris sat in the front row the entire time and didn't look back.

Entering the restaurant, the luxury inside was beyond Kevin's imagination, and the prices on the menu made Kevin terrified. He calculated that it would take half a month's income to have a meal here.

Kevin Harris kept his head down the whole time he was eating, while Ryan and Allie chatted idly.

"Ellie, take a taxi back to the record company first. I have something to say to Kevin." Ryan took the initiative to say when they were almost done eating.

"Okay." Ellie nodded, wiped her mouth, then got up and left.

Ryan looked at Kevin who was looking down: "I told you before not to focus on her. Do you know why now?"

Kevin lowered his head, paused, and slowly put down his knife and fork.

"You seduced her, right? You seduced her with your new song and made her make a deal with you!" Kevin suddenly looked up.

"Clear stupidity, want to see the photos she sent me last night?" Ryan laughed.

"I..." Kevin was choked.

"Delete everything about women in your mind, focus on music, and then find a girlfriend outside the circle. This is my final advice to you." Ryan looked at him.

When Ryan saw Kevin appear at the back door at this point, he vaguely realized what he was here for. On the way to the restaurant, Ryan asked Ellie some more questions, and then he realized that Kevin had been attacking Ellie.

Kevin Harris finally walked out of the restaurant in a daze. He didn't know how he got into the car or how he got home. He felt powerless. The pet dog at home brought him a tennis ball, and Kevin took it and threw it against the wall.

The tennis ball hit the wall, bounced back into Kevin's hands, and was thrown out again, repeating this cycle many times.

Bounce!

This time, the rebounding tennis ball did not fall into Kevin's hands. He stood up, frantically found a piece of white paper, and wrote down a few lyrics.

“These people better leave you out of my life

It's like a fantasy setting out
……

When the waking comes I know I feel alive
You will be the last thing on my mind
No regrets do you know what that means.

At the same time, Kevin's fingers began to tap on the table, and a main melody appeared in his mind.

Just like the bounce of the tennis ball just now - "Bounce"

Ryan returned to the record company in the afternoon. Ellie will be singing for Ryan's new song soon. Ellie didn't actually send Ryan the photo. That was Ryan's way of asking Kevin Harris to concentrate on music production.

As for the reason for choosing Ally to work with, Ryan's external cooperation environment is now blocked, and after the last interview, no female singer within the UMG group could satisfy Ryan. After much thought, he can only digest it internally.

Ryan and Ellie Goulding spent the next two days together to complete the production of the new song. The two stayed in the recording studio and rarely came out.

"This is the only thing I can buy." Teresa pushed the door open and walked in, holding a McDonald's brown paper bag in her hand.

It was already late at night and many restaurants were closed.

Ryan asked Teresa to sit down and eat with them.

"It will take about two hours." Ryan checked the time.

Ellie nodded. In front of Ryan, she was as obedient as a docile sheep.

Teresa looked at the McDonald's packaging bag and suddenly thought of something. She couldn't help but ask, "Boss, do you think there will be a McDonald's when the commercial street outside is built?"

"That depends on if anyone is willing to join here." Ryan picked up a chicken nugget and put it in his mouth.

"But McDonald's franchising is a little special. In fact, McDonald's is responsible for site selection, and then buys the shop or signs a long-term lease contract, and then rents it to the franchisee. McDonald's takes the difference. Real estate income is the biggest part of McDonald's income," explained Theresa.

"In a sense, McDonald's is a real estate company," Teresa concluded.

After a little thought, Ryan realized the uniqueness of this business model. For a restaurant, site selection is undoubtedly very important. As a brand owner, it is not difficult to actively ask franchisees to accept the site selection under the pretext of "maintaining the brand."

The premise is that the brand is "strong enough".

After overtime, Ryan first sent Ellie back to her current residence. On the way, Ellie complained that the rent was two thousand dollars a month.

"Then you can move to the 'Girls' Dormitory'." Ryan said at this time.

The two female DJs are currently living there. It is similar to the boys' dormitory, a complete house with several bedrooms that can accommodate at least six people.

"Good idea!" Ellie nodded immediately.

When they arrived at the destination, Ellie awkwardly invited Ryan to go upstairs for "a drink".

Ryan laughed. Teresa, who was standing beside him, saw Ryan's reaction and knew that he was not very interested in Ellie, so she took the initiative to say, "The boss is tired, let's do it another day."

Ellie nodded and got out of the car.

A few minutes later, Teresa said, "The boss is not interested in her?"

"You're so beautiful, and you've spoiled my taste." Ryan looked at Theresa.

"My appetite has also been increased by my boss." Teresa said with a blushing face, and sat directly on Ryan's lap. It can be seen that Teresa also has a ring on her ring finger.

"Come home with me tonight and you'll take Tyler's place tonight."

Teresa's smile froze, and she was obviously a little timid and a little guilty. But when the time came, the situation changed drastically. Her husband called her so diligently! He was really honest in his heart.

·
The next morning, Ryan received a call from Ivanka.

"Did Taylor agree?" Iwanka asked on the other end of the phone.

"She's been busy lately."

"That's a very unfortunate coincidence."

"But she asked me to treat you well," Ryan continued.

"Entertain me?" Ivanka was stunned.

"Yes, you are a guest after all. When are you going to the beach to sunbathe?"

"Just this afternoon."

"See you then."

"Wait, you want to come over?" Ivanka confirmed.

"Have you talked to your father about working together?"

"not yet."

"That's great. Let's discuss how to tell your father. If you want to talk on the phone, that's fine."

"Then let's talk face to face," Ivanka said. This matter was difficult to clarify over the phone.
