American Entertainment: Taylor Swift wrote a song for the beginning

Chapter 258 True Electronic Music Queen, Do You Really Want to Break Your Bones? (7K)

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a hurried knock on the door outside the luxury suite of the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami.

The knocking on the door continued for a long time. Will, the soul of the Black Eyed Peas with a special "Astro Boy" hairstyle, opened the door cursing. It could be seen that he was only wearing a bathrobe and had obviously just gotten out of bed.

"Will, Ryan released a new song! You must listen to it!" said another member of the Black Eyed Peas, a man with long hair nicknamed Taboo, with a look of anxiety on his face.

"Can't you listen to it tomorrow? Is it necessary to make such a fuss?" Will was obviously disturbed and looked very unhappy.

"You'd better listen now." Taboo was obviously not ready to leave.

Will waved his hand helplessly and let his teammates in. When they entered the house, they could see two white blonde girls lying on the bed through the door that they didn't have time to close.

Will sat on the sofa and opened his laptop directly, and saw a banner advertisement for Ryan's new song in the iTunes store.

It’s been less than half an hour since the new song was officially announced, but it has already ranked 30th on the current best-selling list.

"Is it this song 'Faded'?" Will found that this song didn't even have a cover.

"That's right." Taboo grabbed the mouse and pressed the play button.

Then some melodies came out through the laptop's poorly made and distorted speakers.

When he heard the chorus, Will gripped the armrests of the sofa tightly with both hands and clenched his teeth. Although he was black and his expression was not so obvious, one could still see his solemnity.

The next second, Will's expression suddenly relaxed again: "It's just a new song. It won't necessarily affect the charts of the next single."

You know, the first hit single from the new album, "Boom Boom Pow", has been on the charts for many weeks, and the second single is even more terrifying, "I Gotta Feeling"

"Not only this single, Ryan's new European artist has released another one." Taboo turned the mouse wheel and finally found another new song called "Levels" at the current 78th best-selling position.

"Newcomer?" Will frowned deeply. Only iPod users would download and use iTunes. Not only could it not top the charts, but it also represented future popular trends to a certain extent. It would be on the charts as soon as it was first released, so its value was very high.

"Also, Ryan said at the end of his performance..." Taboo carefully observed Will's reaction and whispered, "He will make a purely electronic version of this song without vocals later."

"Fuck!" Will's good mood was gone, and he had no mood to enjoy the two white girls lying on the bed next to him.

·
At the backstage of the park stage, there were still a group of DJs who had not left, including Yinghao, San Ge, two female DJs, Dead Mouse, Di Pineapple, and Avicii who just came down from the stage. The group of people couldn't help but praise Ryan's new song. The more people understand electronic music, the more they can feel the special meaning of this song.

Second-rate singers cannot keep up with the trend, first-rate singers stand at the forefront, and truly great singers create the trend.

Ryan is clearly the one who sets the trend, and more than once.

At the same time, Taylor saw that the audience outside was still unsatisfied, and he finally felt relieved.

Beyoncé was about to leave at this time, but she couldn't help but stop for Ryan's music. Her expression was no more relaxed than Will when he returned to the hotel.

The snowflakes of the times are like a mountain when they fall on everyone. The popularity of electronic music will affect every practitioner in the industry.

Heaven has changed.

And the next second, Beyoncé even heard her name from Ryan's mouth who was still on the stage.

"I know you're still not satisfied, but today's performance is about to end. Due to some unexpected factors, the performance time has been extended." Ryan said casually.

There was an immediate burst of boos from the audience, and the fans at the scene were not stupid either. Ryan's words indirectly confirmed that Beyoncé had arbitrarily extended her stage time and spent a lot of time introducing her tour.

Such a sensational incident will undoubtedly be widely spread through the tabloids.

When Ryan returned to the backstage, he immediately saw Beyonce surrounded by his team members.

"You haven't left yet? You haven't been feeling well lately. Go back and rest early to avoid affecting tomorrow's performance." Ryan said to her with a smile.

"Ryan, I have to apologize for my rudeness. I shouldn't have stayed on the stage for so long." Instead of being angry, Beyonce took the initiative to admit her previous problem.

As for how much of her sincerity was unknown, the next second Beyoncé changed the subject: "Ryan, today's incident is over. We can definitely collaborate on a single if we have the chance in the future."

In order to take advantage of Ryan's popularity, Beyonce even took the initiative to lower her head, which is enough to show the market potential of the single "Faded".

Ryan did not refuse and said that he would call her when there was a suitable opportunity in the future. Beyonce then left and met Taylor when she left. Beyonce took the initiative to talk to Taylor for a few words, and her attitude towards Taylor also took a 180-degree turn.

After Beyoncé's team left, Taylor approached Ryan, seemingly thinking about the conversation just now: "You said that the previous private disclosure of the news was only done by her father personally?"

"Don't think too highly of these people. They may be as close friends to you one second, and stab you in the back the next." Ryan shook his head. The truth was not important. Profits were the decisive factor. If he signed a contract with a black female singer one day, he would have to compete directly with Beyonce and Rihanna.

And this possibility is not low. Black music and black singers have long been integrated into American pop music. You are in me and I am in you.

The first day of the show ended here. Except for a few people on duty, the rest of the staff went back to rest. Ryan stayed until most of the staff left before leaving the scene. Taylor naturally stayed with him the whole time. As for Alex, he would also be on duty at the scene tonight to supervise the equipment maintenance.

"You must be exhausted today. Are you hungry? I'll ask the servants to start preparing a midnight snack now." Taylor touched Ryan's forehead in the car and said with some pity.

Ryan shook his head, indicating that he couldn't eat.

When Ryan got home, he took out his cell phone while Taylor was taking a shower. There were several text messages from Ivanka during the day.

Ryan didn't reply at all. He deleted the text messages directly, then walked into the bathroom. After taking a shower with Taylor, the two of them didn't make any extra movements and soon fell asleep.

"During prime time last night, the number of viewers at the music festival remained around 1500 million. At the peak, it was close to 1800 million. Well done, Ryan!" The next day at noon, Ryan received a call from Devin. Even through the microphone, he could hear the excitement in her voice.

For a music festival, the more people watch it, the better it is. At least the box office for the next festival is guaranteed, and it will further boost the brand effect of The Bad Room, and CW TV station will make a lot of money.

"Keep up the good work and complete today's performance. On behalf of CW TV station, I would like to thank you. The parent company also sent congratulations this time, and they have noticed it. Ryan, this is a great benefit to you. Your 2 Broke Girls is so popular. We will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future, such as the next music festival broadcast." Devin said.

"The next music festival will not be televised, nor will it be in the future." Ryan refused directly.

The TV broadcast channel was used this time for publicity and to increase awareness, but if every music festival in the future does the same, who will come to buy tickets? After all, the sponsorship that TV stations can attract is limited, so Ryan must choose a business model that makes more money.

"Really? Well, from your perspective, it's understandable." Devin said slowly, and one could tell she was a little disappointed.

"Don't be so depressed. You're just looking for some shows for the vacant weekend time slot. Since CW TV station is not capable of managing the weekend time slot, why not hand it over to someone who is more willing to do it?" Ryan looked at his fingernails.

“You want to take over the weekend time slot at CW?” Devin was surprised. “I don’t think you can handle it.”

Of course Ryan is too busy, with movies, offline nightclubs, music festivals, record companies... His day only has 24 hours, not 48 hours.

"Don't worry about it."

"I'm just afraid that you'll give up."

"I have my own arrangements."

"If you want to discuss it in detail, come to Los Angeles then." Devin didn't refuse and hung up the phone directly.

As soon as he hung up the phone, Ryan saw Katy Perry had already arrived backstage at this time, accompanied by Luke, who was close to her, and Kesha. Logically speaking, the three of them were performing in the evening, so they shouldn't have arrived so early. Obviously, they had other things to do.

Luke's expression was quite serious at this time. Kesa secretly looked at Ryan, as if seeking his help. As for Katy Perry, she shook her head at Ryan and even pointed at Luke, indicating that Ryan was in trouble.

"Poaching my people? Ryan, I didn't expect you to be so quick!" Luke walked over and sneered.

"He doesn't want to let me go, so I have to move you out." Kassa also came to Ryan and lowered her head.

Stupid guy, Ryan cursed in his heart, but he did not deny it in front of Luke: "No matter from which angle you look at it, this cooperation is beneficial to all participants. My song needs a good voice, Kesha is a suitable candidate, and you can also make more money."

As plans changed, Ryan had to change his strategy from poaching to collaboration.

"Oh, really?" Luke narrowed his eyes. Seeing that Ryan was so frank and had no intention of kicking him away completely, he couldn't get angry.

He frowned and thought for a few seconds.

Ryan's talent is obvious to all. Isn't it because I brought Kaisa here this time that I want to take advantage of Ryan's resources?
Now that Ryan is willing to cooperate with me, this is definitely not a bad thing.

"Is this convenient for us to talk? Let's find a place to talk in detail." Luke relaxed.

"There's no one in the lounge right now." Ryan thought for a moment.

So the two of them went to the lounge tacitly and ignored Kaisa from beginning to end. Obviously, in this cooperation, Kaisa's own wishes had become unimportant.

As another eyewitness, Katie knew a lot of information. She slowly walked to Kasa.

"Girl, it's completely understandable that you want to make more money, but don't forget that Ryan has the same idea as you. If you sell him out like this, you will be the one who suffers the biggest loss!" Katie shook her head. She had been terminated by three different record companies in a row. At this moment, she could even guess what Ryan wanted to talk to Luke about.

On the other side, Ryan and Luke came to the door of the lounge, but found that the door could not be opened.

"The key is with the staff." Ryan called Alex, and then heard a voice coming from inside the door.

Then, Alex opened the door. Through the crack in the door, he could see that in addition to the simple bed on the floor, there was a woman sorting clothes. Then she turned around and greeted Ryan rather embarrassedly. She looked pretty and turned out to be Alex's sister.

Alex was able to participate in the Ultra Music Festival before because of his sister's relationship with local officials in Miami. Including this time's Bad Room Carnival, the relevant communication work was green-lighted all the way, and Alex's sister also contributed to it. So when Ryan encountered protesters yesterday, he thought of calling Alex.

Alex has previously admitted that his sister is the lover of a Florida congressman.

The biggest question in Ryan's mind right now is...are they biological siblings or cousins?

Alex asked Ryan why he came, then immediately left with his sister, looking a little embarrassed.

As for Luke, he had no idea what was going on.

Ryan ignored this episode for the time being, closed the door, and started to discuss with Luke. "Kasha is now my artist, and I also produced her songs. If we jointly release them, we will each take our own share. In return, you must cooperate with Kasha, at least three hit songs, and I will not take advantage of you. I will give you 35% of the share that the record company should get. This is a common practice in the industry. You can go and ask around." Luke showed his sincerity.

But for Ryan, the loss is a bit too big. To exaggerate, the profit is three times less than if he had directly signed Kaisa.

It was obviously impossible to get Luke to give in. After Kassadin sold him out, Ryan became quite passive.

"So, how did you and Kassa settle the matter?" Ryan changed the subject...

It only took about 20 minutes for Ryan and Luke to reach a consensus, and then Luke called Kassa in.

"Kesa, listen, there is a great opportunity in front of you now. You also listened to Ryan's new song last night, right? Some of those songs in the future will definitely be sung by you, and the first collaboration will be this year. Ryan is a person who values talent. He is willing to give up part of his interests, but he is willing to cultivate you, so you have to give him something in return. Are you willing to reduce your share of the profits?" Luke said in a gentle tone.

"Are you two kidding me?!" Kaisa was a little anxious and couldn't help but swear.

“It’s called business cooperation.”

"I don't agree!" Kasha immediately shook her head. Originally, she could get less share from her album than others, and now with the addition of a boss, she could get even less. She had promised Ryan before that she would make more money, but in the end, not only did she not make more money, she made less.

"I'm just informing you, not asking for your consent. I've already agreed to work with Ryan's record company." Luke didn't have much patience.

"No, I will never agree to this. If you dare to do this, I will tell everyone everything you did to me and I will sue you for rape!" Kasa screamed.

Luke frowned, then glanced at Ryan awkwardly: "Don't listen to her nonsense!"

"I'm not talking nonsense! Ryan, are you willing to cooperate with a rapist?" Kassa then looked at Ryan.

This statement is somewhat like moral kidnapping.

"Girl, you can't call yourself a victim only when the situation is not favorable to you." Ryan shrugged.

You're saying it now? What were you doing before? You thought Luke could make you a singer. Ryan didn't know at this time that not long ago, Kasha and her mother had participated in a civil court because of a dispute over a contract with another record company. In court, Kasha stated with certainty that she had no physical relationship with Luke, so she was able to sign a contract with Luke's company.

"And you didn't tell me that the contract with Luke was so long. Even if you didn't tell me last night, I still wouldn't be able to sign a contract with you. So the current plan is the best solution." Ryan followed.

"As for what happened between you and Luke, if you are really the victim, I will seek justice for you." Ryan looked at Luke beside him.

After hearing Ryan's assurance, Kassa finally relented and was willing to give Ryan half of her share of royalties.

Then Luke asked Kassa to leave the lounge.

"I shouldn't have slept with her in the first place." Luke shook his head. "Thanks to you this time, otherwise I wouldn't have realized that she still remembers what happened. This woman is too dangerous. If the record production progress wasn't more than halfway done, I would have just changed someone." Luke shook his head.

"Just give her some thought now, otherwise how can she be used by us? When she is no longer useful, just throw her away." Ryan said.

"Ryan, you will definitely become famous. You are a reliable partner. I have been scouting for new people. I have a lot of girls on hand who are crazy about becoming famous. If you like one, just tell me directly and I will keep her for you." Luke smiled, and there was something obscene in his smile.

"I have something else to do, excuse me." Ryan said goodbye to Luke in a hurry.

Looking back at the exchange just now, it was clear that neither of them was a good person. If it weren't for Kaisa's good voice, no one would have ventured into this muddy water.

Now that he is caught between the two people and has gained their trust at the same time, Ryan decides to find out the facts first and then make the next plan. As for now, he will continue to cooperate with Luke and let Kesha release her first solo album smoothly.

"Call Alex over." Ryan immediately instructed a staff member as he passed by.

"Don't ask." Alex knew what Ryan wanted to ask, and said with a very ugly expression.

Tsk tsk, do you really want to break your bones?

"Well... We grew up together, and since she's like this now, she can't get married, so I just occasionally..." Alex shrugged.

"If I remember correctly, you also have a wife and children?"

"Yes, I said, we just relieve each other occasionally, so don't ask more questions, and let's end this topic here."

"You haven't told me who the congressman is who has a close relationship with your sister."

"Ryan, it's not that I don't trust you. This is my sister and I's biggest support, so don't ask this question."

"So you don't care at all about what happened between your sister and that congressman?" Ryan changed the subject.

"Hey, it's all my fault for being an incompetent waste, Ryan. If I were like you, would I have to endure this?" Alex sighed.

·
The performance on the second day was basically the same as the previous day, but there were some differences in the specific performance repertoire. With the experience of the previous day, the staff was not so flustered, and at night, Ryan was able to take a break.

"Brother Ryan!" A childish voice came from behind.

As soon as Ryan turned around, a figure immediately jumped up and threw himself into his arms. It was Eminem's daughter Hailey.

The name Hailey itself is very common, but the person who knows it most is not Eminem's daughter, but Ding Ri's future wife. Considering that she is only a twelve-year-old girl, she may also have an idol-like admiration and love for Ryan.

"Come down! You're so big, why are you still letting others hold you?" Am was somewhat helpless with his daughter and could only give Ryan a slightly apologetic look.

Afraid that Ryan would stop hugging her, the little girl immediately hugged Ryan's neck tightly.

The little girl of this age is at the cutest look in her life. Ryan let her ride on his neck and then spin in circles.

Coincidentally, Taylor was also backstage at this time. Seeing that there was a little girl on Ryan's body, he looked quite nervous. He hurried over and saw Eminem next to Ryan. Only then did he clarify the misunderstanding and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Yes, even if Ryan had an illegitimate child, it couldn't be this big. How old was he? Taylor secretly blamed himself for being too nervous.

Then he found that the little girl was very cute, so he moved closer and teased her: "Ryan is getting married soon, marry me!"

"Get married?!" Little Haley was stunned for a moment, and then burst into tears.

"No marriage, no marriage." Taylor immediately panicked, and Ryan handed the child to Taylor and asked her to coax the little girl.

Taking care of children seems to be every woman's talent, and after a while Taylor made her laugh through her tears, and Taylor began to play with little Hailey in the backstage.

"Would you like to come to my house after the performance?" Ryan took the initiative to invite Eminem.

"Are you sure? She's very noisy." Am looked at his daughter who was being held by Taylor.

"She just needs a mother." Ryan could tell at a glance.

"Last time you said you wanted to find a black female singer, and I happen to have one around me. Do you want to give it a try?" Ryan thought of the last chat.

"You don't mean Beyoncé?" Eminem immediately shook his head.

"It's not her, it's the British singer, Leona Lewis." Ryan said.

Ryan just got Kesha through cooperation this afternoon, and he doesn't mind having another one. The market for black female singers is very huge, and Leona is almost finished now. He is her only lifeline.

"Her voice is indeed powerful. I am willing to give it a try, but I cannot guarantee that I will use her. Besides, she is under Sony. If we want to cooperate, Jimmy Iovine has to give his approval," said Eminem.

Eminem was discovered by Dre, and Jimi is Dre's golden partner.

"Actually, I happen to be opening a nightclub with Jimmy," Ryan said.

"Oh? In that case, this might be a promising idea." Am nodded.

"What about that song? You haven't told me what it is about yet?"

"The lyrics and music have been completed. It is expected to be the main song of the next album. The name is "Love The Way You Lie," said Eminem.

·
The two-day Bad Room Carnival ended with Ryan and Taylor's joint performance on stage. Due to the live TV broadcast, the ticket sales were lower than Ryan expected, but the total box office still exceeded 1 million US dollars. From various angles, the first carnival was an unprecedented success.

In the United States, Bad Room Carnival became the biggest topic of discussion this weekend. As for the International Music Summit held on the island of Ibiza at the same time, no one cared at all. Even in Europe, across the ocean, the home of the International Music Summit, Bad Room Carnival also caused widespread discussion. After all, Ryan produced the most unique masterpiece in his electronic music career so far.

At the same time, various music media also began to prepare reports on Ryan's new song. Of course, this did not include "DJ" magazine. Since the last negative report on Ryan was published, this magazine has completely torn its face with Ryan. As a direct competitor of "DJ", "Mix" magazine, which is also headquartered in London, reported extensively on the success of the Bad Room Music Festival and successfully booked the first exclusive interview with Ryan after the release of his new song.

·
"What? He went there again? Pregnant? Who's pregnant? Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Old Tang's angry shouts spread from the study to the living room.

After a while, I saw him coming back angrily, picking up a bottle of Coke on the table and drinking it all in one breath.

"Who's pregnant? Could it be your wild woman outside?" The model-turned-wife immediately asked alertly.

"I have to go to Florida again! Right now! Book me the fastest flight!" Old Tang said angrily without any time to explain.

"This time one of us three must die. Either that brat, or me, or the one in Ivanka's belly!"

"Ivanka is pregnant? That's good news! Why are you so anxious?" said the wife who had just been married for four years.

"What's good about that? It's that brat's bastard!"

"What bastard? That's your grandson! Isn't this just right? He is a member of your Tang family from birth."

"I..." Old Tang felt that he had been deceived by Ryan and Ivanka. He was so emotional just now that he had not thought of this.

He had a granddaughter in 07, but currently has no grandson. His second son just got married, his second daughter is not married yet, and the rest are still young.

"How about I go with you?"

"Forget it, don't join in the fun. I'd better notify her mother first." Old Tang scratched his head and prepared to call his ex-wife.
