American Entertainment: Taylor Swift wrote a song for the beginning

Chapter 253: Poaching, buying horse bones with a huge sum of money

Apart from Kassadin herself, the man and woman in front of Ryan are not easy to deal with.

Luke is a producer who has been famous for many years and has worked with many big-name singers.

Katy Perry also moved around a number of record companies and was terminated three times before finally finding her own position in Capitol Records under EMI. She gained popularity with her exaggerated and cheap cartoon-style looks, controversial song themes, and distinctive personality.

What puzzled Ryan even more was the relationship between these three people. After rejecting Luke's request, Ryan looked at Katie and asked jokingly: "It seems that you have a close relationship with Luke. You are willing to sacrifice yourself to help the young girl under Luke."

"There's nothing I can do. I'm just a singer. I can't write or compose music. I'm not like you and Taylor who can ignore anyone." Katie sighed, saying that she has no choice when she is in the world.

Not that close, Ryan immediately deduced from these words that their cooperation was limited to career, of course, on the premise that Katie did not hide anything.

Ryan then looked at Luke and said, "By the way, Kasha is a talented girl who deserves your careful training."

Luke shrugged, acting nonchalant: "I know a lot of girls like this, a lot of them. Compared to these people, Kai'Sa is more loyal, that's all."

If what Luke said was true, Ryan would not want to sign Kai'Sa. In fact, her voice alone is enough to make her famous.

This kind of behavior of deliberately lowering one's values is very common in relationships between men and women.

Ryan looked at Kassa's reaction again. She seemed to be used to this kind of PUA. Her expression did not change at all, but she frowned slightly because of being rejected.

"Kasha, why don't you stay alone? I can call the other warm-up guests to see if anyone can't come for some reason. As for the two of you, if you don't want to wait, you can also walk around in the nightclub." Ryan thought for a while and said.

"I'm with Kassa. There's nothing to see in this nightclub." Luke said alertly.

Katie did ask if there were any handsome guys in the nightclub, but after getting a negative answer, she seemed to lose interest and said that she was too tired and had to go back to the hotel early.

Ryan originally wanted to have a private conversation with Kassa, but Luke didn't give him any chance at all. He even took the initiative to answer the questions Ryan asked Kassa, as if he was afraid that Kassa would let the cat out of the bag.

Ryan increasingly felt that Luke's behavior was abnormal.

After the two left, Ryan decided to start with Katy Perry. She often worked with Luke and must know something.

·
"I said, no room service! I've been working for over 20 hours straight, and now I've only slept for less than four hours." Katy Perry had a distressed look on her face, squinted her eyes, walked to the door of the room, and then opened it.

She originally thought that the person standing at the door was a waiter from the hotel, or a male special service provider, but she didn't expect that the person standing outside the house was Ryan.

"Uh..." She immediately forced herself to cheer up, and then posed in a seductive manner, slightly bending her waist down, and at the same time tightening her nightgown, two points were faintly visible on the smooth silk purple nightgown.

"Hi, Ryan, I can invite you in and sit down, but you have to tell me why you're here!" Katie blinked without taking off her false eyelashes.

Ryan squeezed in without saying a word and closed the door behind him.

"Shit! Are you people in Florida so direct? Not interesting at all." Katie exclaimed.

"I'm not from here, and I'm not here to have fun." Ryan sat directly on a chair in the room.

Katie grinned, hunched her waist and walked slowly to Ryan in a not-so-professional cat walk. She bent down and showed Ryan something.

If you ask who is the most underestimated among the top five divas, it must be Katy Perry. Her cartoon-style appearance and premature weight gain will make people subconsciously ignore that her figure was actually very attractive in the early days of her fame. She can be said to be the most attractive among the top five divas.

She is 172cm tall with a natural 32E figure and weighs only 125 pounds.

She is really very secretive. Ryan noticed something in his peripheral vision, but his eyes were fixed on her blue pupils.

"You're scared, aren't you? Oh, yes, you're scared that Taylor will know." Katie bent her legs on the bed and rested her cheek on her knees.

What was exposed just now was the top, and what is exposed now is...

Now Ryan really doubted whether her and Luke were just business partners.

"Don't look at me like that. Only you deserve this treatment, little boy! You are so handsome. So handsome that people can't close their legs." Katie smiled.

"I came here this time to talk to you about the order of the performance." Ryan sat upright. She was not bad looking and had a nice figure, but Ryan just didn't have any evil thoughts about her. Perhaps it was due to her dressing style.

"You're negotiating terms right away? You're quite honest this time. That's good, so I don't have to waste my breath. If you want the full package, you have to put me in the golden position between 8:30 and 9 o'clock."

"Do you think Eminem is more suitable there or you are more suitable?" Ryan asked with a smile.

"Then you can let me perform after him, or before him. It's only ten minutes, you can definitely make room." Katy Perry pouted.

"Deal." Ryan nodded.

"That's right." Katy Perry stood up and sat in Ryan's arms.

She brushed Ryan's cheek with her backhand, a smile forming at the corner of her mouth.

"Just looking at you makes me excited," she said infatuatedly.

"Please contact Kasa for me. I want to meet her tonight."

"So you like that kind, or is one not enough?" Katie quickly pulled her hand back.

"I want to talk to her. Her voice is best suited for electronic music." Ryan revealed his true intention.

Only then did Katie realize the real reason why Ryan came and immediately stood up. She felt like she had been fooled.

"I didn't say I was going to do anything with you, you just misunderstood." Ryan smiled.

"Softie," she cursed.

"Luke and I work very well together. I won't betray him for you." Katie immediately shook her head.

"I just asked you to ask Kasa out, don't think about these nonsense." Ryan said.

"I think you should save your energy. Luke often asks Kesha to go home with him. Maybe they are in the same room now." Katy Perry muttered.

"Can you tell me in detail how the two of you met?"

"It's a very ordinary story. Kasha was a girl who had a dream of becoming a musician, and Luke was willing to give her a chance. As time went on, Luke gradually took some actions that crossed the line, such as taking her to parties. One time after the party, Kasha lost consciousness, and when she woke up again, she was lying next to Luke. Luke comforted her, said that he liked her, would give her more opportunities, and would make music for her, and so things slowly came to this point." Katie narrated the entire process.

"Can you confirm the truth of this matter?"

"Of course, this is what Kasa told me herself."

"So, you have to know that Luke must have something that can ruin her reputation, such as photos." Katie said. After knowing this, Ryan felt that the possibility of impressing Kasha was very low.

"But you're not without any chance. Kesha complained that Luke cheated on her and didn't give her the rewards she deserved. Her song topped the Billboard charts, but she can't even afford full-priced fruit." Katie added.

"Luke took her share, but it's all spelled out in the contract."

"Finally, if you continue to insist, I can ask Kassa out. I will ask her out for dinner, but I may have other things to do and cannot be there for the time being, and you accidentally discovered her whereabouts, so you took the initiative to find her. I didn't know you were there at the whole time, and you have never met me. What do you think of this deal?" Katie thought for a while and said.

"Deal, tonight."

"So, is there a second deal?" Katie leaned back and opened the pattern.

Ryan immediately took out his cell phone and pretended to take a picture.

Katie was so scared that she immediately closed her legs again.

"You bastard!"

·
"Why are you here?" Kassa, who was sitting at the dining table, couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw the man opposite her take off his sunglasses and mask.

"Don't be surprised. I came here specially. I want to talk to you about your career planning." Ryan put his hands on the table.

"You should know that you are very suitable for singing electronic music tracks?"

Kasha seemed to realize what Ryan wanted to do, and immediately said, "Don't just sit there, order me something to eat first."

After a while, when Ryan saw Kasha wolfing down her food, he realized how Katie asked her out - by treating her to a meal.

There is no exaggeration at all, this literally means not being able to afford a meal.

"I can't help it. You know there are too many rules and regulations. I even have to pay for the printing of my contract. In short, after deducting all the items, my salary is very low, and I still have to pay rent. So I have to save money wherever I can, such as this meal in front of me."

"So, you're still going to keep going?" Ryan asked.

"I have persisted until now. I can't quit at this time, otherwise all my previous efforts will be in vain. Luke promised to produce the song and it will be released in August. I have already written the lyrics and the music. It's called "Tik Tok". I wrote it when I was drunk. Do you want to listen to it? If this single is popular, I will have an album next year, and then I will make a lot of money."

"Are you sure?" Ryan asked again.

Kasa smiled embarrassedly.

"At least he promised me."

"He promised you before, but what was the result?" Ryan sneered.

Kasa was cutting ribs, but stopped suddenly when she heard this.

"Have you been checking on me?"

"Luke has no idea of your value. You should follow me. I can at least give you the freedom to eat." Ryan said calmly.

Kasha raised her head and looked at Ryan, as if to see if he was joking, then lowered her head and continued cutting the meat.

"Wait for me to eat first."

She didn't respond to anything Ryan said next and just finished all the food on the table.

Kesa calmly took out a tissue and wiped her mouth: "Luke has already started contacting the team for me, and I have also given him the lyrics and music for many songs. You can't get around him at all."

"Then get his authorization, and in return he will still be a co-producer. But the distribution must be handled by UMG," Ryan said.

"How much share are you going to give me?" Kassa crumpled up the used tissue and threw it into the trash can next to the next table.

"After deducting the corresponding share, the rest is all yours. You can get 35% direct royalties from each download, and the share of the album is similar. But I didn't count the share Luke asked for. If he asked for too much, you really wouldn't make any money."

"You mean I have to talk to him in person?"

"If you need me to help, I can help you."

"Besides this, are there any additional benefits... I mean, since you can see that I have potential." Kassa smiled embarrassedly.

"If you can get Luke to relent, I can give you that number." Ryan held up a finger.

"1 US dollars. It's a bit low. You seriously underestimate my potential." Kaisa said angrily.

Before Ryan could speak, Kai'Sa said, "At least 5."

"I'll give you 100,000!"

"One hundred thousand?" Kassa nodded and smiled awkwardly, seeming a little absent-minded, obviously in a trance after suffering a great shock.

"One hundred thousand!" It took her a few seconds to react.

"Yes, provided you can handle Luke."

In principle, Ryan would not give a newcomer so much "signing fee", but Kassadin exceeded his expectations for a newcomer in all aspects. Ryan's doing this is a bit like paying a high price for a horse.

Kesa has visible talent, as even Ryan is willing to pay more. Speaking of the early 2010s, Kesa was the talk of the town, with multiple super hit singles in a row that crushed everyone.

Kassa began to take deep breaths continuously, obviously trying to calm herself down.

"Don't be so excited, maybe you can't handle Luke?" Ryan was ready to listen to Kassa's thoughts first.

It's easy to deal with Kai'Sa himself, but it's not easy to deal with Luke.

"It's very simple. I will tell him that you gave me 100,000. Even a fool would know what to choose! He took some photos of me and he can post them online if he wants. Who doesn't have a few photos leaked these days?" Kassa acted indifferent.

"Don't say that. Doing so will only make him raise the price further, and the end result will be that you won't get a penny."

"Then what should I say?"

"Let him think that everything is over and that he can no longer control you, so he is forced to take the initiative to negotiate with us. This is called turning initiative into passive. Come here..." Ryan waved at her, leaned over to her ear, and told her a plan.
