American Entertainment: Taylor Swift wrote a song for the beginning

Chapter 59 Dual Version

After all, they have sent us the roster, so we should read it out of courtesy, right?

Ryan looked through them out of politeness and found that nothing suited his taste; he preferred long legs.

As for the contact Mary, Ryan felt that there was no need to delete her. What if she might be useful in the future?

Then Ryan logged into the paid music platform and took a look. Now, the covers of all versions of his electronic music and dance music have been reset, and the words "SCHOOLBOY Records" have been added to the introduction information. Although it failed to enter the charts directly like on beatport, the sales data is at least much better than before the signing. In comparison, the version released by SCHOOLBOY Records has easily surpassed the Mau5trap version released by Dead Mouse in sales.

This DJ who once took Ryan to the Urtla Music Festival is still touring nightclubs in various cities in the United States, and Ryan's worth has also skyrocketed in recent days. According to Marvin, his appearance fee has exceeded that of Dead Rat, and there are more nightclubs that are interested in inviting him to perform than Dead Rat. However, Ryan's radio tour has just begun, and he needs to focus more on publicity.

Before turning off the computer, Ryan did not forget to catch up with the girl with long legs. There was a fourteen-hour time difference between the two places, and it was afternoon there, so there was just enough time to chat.

[I heard your music in a nightclub last night! The response was very enthusiastic. I really should record this scene.]

[Do you still go to nightclubs?] Ryan discovered the crux of the problem. Although his music was often played in nightclubs, he always kept his distance from them and never went there except for performances.

[Is it not okay to go with a friend? ]

【Have you been drinking? 】

[Are you afraid that I will lose my virginity? ]

【Out of concern for fans. 】

[I didn’t say I was your fan.]

[Then how did you add me in the first place? ]

After saying this, the other party paused for a few minutes before sending a message.

【I am quite curious about you.】

Ryan simply closed Facebook and made a video call to her via Skype.

Only Elizabeth Debicki didn’t answer.

【What do you want to do? 】

Ryan went ahead and gave her one.

This time she finally answered the call, but the picture was a little blurry and stuck like a slide, and the sound and picture were not synchronized. With today's Internet speed, cross-ocean video calls can only reach this level.

Elizabeth Debicki looked a little flustered in the video, and she quickly fixed the ends of her hair and opened her mouth to say something.

Two seconds later, a voice came over: "What on earth do you want to do?"

"Nothing, just looking at you." Ryan looked at the other person with interest.

It had been nearly two months since they last saw each other in Florida, and it was already dusk, so Ryan didn't even see her face clearly.

Although I had seen photos before, the video call had another benefit: I could clearly see her expressions and reactions.

"I'm not wearing any makeup." She said a little awkwardly, with her eyebrows drooping.

“It’s not ugly this way.”

The quality of the video call was very poor. After a few more pleasantries, Elizabeth Debicki took the initiative to hang up the video call.

[You should go to sleep now. You will grow taller if you sleep more. Be obedient. ]

After knowing that Ryan was still in high school, she, a college student at Victoria College of the Arts, regarded herself as Ryan's older sister, even though they were actually about the same age.

【Why are you so tall? 】

[That's right. I'm just a little too tall, and I'm always treated as an oddball.] She was 1.9 meters tall, definitely the tallest in the department.

"But being tall has its advantages," Ryan consoled her, for example, she could stand on her tiptoes and push off.

After finishing the online chat with Elizabeth, Ryan returned to the room and talked on the phone with Abigail for half an hour.

As soon as I put down the phone, Taylor called again.

"What did you talk about with Abigail?" she asked curiously.

"Nothing, just a simple goodnight."

"You lied to me again. I called several times just now, but the line was always busy." Taylor muttered.

Time management is sometimes not easy, especially when the person you are managing is a young girl who is too clingy.

"You have to sleep with me, and you can't hang up the phone until I fall asleep," Taylor said.

"I have to get up early tomorrow morning to participate in the radio program you introduced to me." "That won't work either. Wait until I fall asleep."

"..."

"Hello?"

"..."

"Okay, okay, I didn't expect you to be so tired. That's it. I'll tune into the Nash Channel tomorrow morning."

·
"Hi, listeners, welcome to "Coffee, Country & Cody" at 7:30 in the morning. I'm Bill Cody, and I'm bringing you a live broadcast from the music district in Nashville. Today we have invited a special guest, a new DJ and electronic music producer, also from Nashville, Dr. Ray, Ryan Rivers!"

"Hello, viewers of Nash Channel, I'm Rui." Ryan greeted listeners from all over the country through the microphone.

All radio stations are local channels, but Nash Channel is different. It is not a channel, but a type of channel. It belongs to Cumulus Media, the second largest commercial radio company in the United States. It is composed of more than 20 local channels across the country and specializes in broadcasting country music. The show that Ryan is a guest on is broadcast on more than 20 Nash channels, and its coverage is very wide. The last time Taylor was a guest on this morning show, it achieved very good results. The program team very much hopes that Taylor can continue to be a guest on the show. In exchange, Taylor recommended Ryan to the program team.

"Electronic music, it sounds like a new trend among young people, just like Myspace. Can you give a brief introduction? Rui."

"This is a type of music that originated in the United States and later became popular in Europe. Now this trend has once again swept back to North America..." Ryan introduced it. Having appeared on many shows in the past half month, he is now able to handle questions with ease.

This may be the radio program with the largest number of listeners that Ryan has ever appeared on, and Ryan naturally takes it very seriously. However, in the studio, the host named Bill Cody did not ignore Ryan, but he did not seem to be very interested in electronic music from beginning to end. He threw out some questions as if it was a routine, and the whole show seemed uneventful.

Ryan speculated that this had something to do with the radio station's audience. Country music's audience was older, and electronic music had not yet become mainstream, so not many people were likely interested.

Isn't it possible to combine country music and electronic music? Ryan suddenly had this idea. If there is such a song, it will definitely open up the huge country music market and he can really enter the mainstream.

If Joel heard this, he would probably say seriously: "Only true artists like Daft Punk have this ability."

·
After finishing the radio program, Ryan rushed to school without stopping. As the end of the semester was approaching, he had to take multiple exams and get good grades so that he could get enough GPA, otherwise all this study would be in vain.

By the time I arrived at the classroom, there was still an hour left before the exam ended.

The teacher didn't say anything and handed the test paper to him directly. Ryan is now a star, and in a sense he even enjoys privileges, such as being able to take leave at will.

Ryan returned to his seat and wrote furiously on the paper.

The tutoring he had done on weekdays played a role. Ryan easily finished the previous test questions, leaving only the last argumentative essay topic: "Please write an argumentative essay on the topic of "The Meaning of Growth: Finding Direction from Confusion"."

Ryan thought about his own experiences during this period, and began to write based on himself. As soon as he put pen to paper, he suddenly felt a strange out-of-control feeling in his hands.

“Feeling my way through the darkness”

“Guided by a beating heart”

“I can’t tell where the journey will end”

“But I know where to start.”

“They tell me I'm too young to understand”

“They say I'm caught up in a dream”

Ryan's ideas flowed freely, and what he wrote was not an argumentative essay, but more like a modern poem, or in other words, lyrics.

"so wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself

And I didn't know I was lost.

Suddenly, Ryan heard the strumming of an acoustic guitar and the shaking of a mandolin, and a desolate feeling of folk music came over him.

“Wish that I could stay forever this young
I wish I could stay this young forever
Not afraid to close my eyes
Don't be afraid to close your eyes

Life's a game made for everyone
Life is a game

And love is the prize
And love is the reward"

"And I lost myself without realizing it..."

A desolate and simple male voice with a gorgeous soul singing voice echoed repeatedly until... a series of electronic synthesizers chorused in Ryan's mind. This was another sound Ryan had never heard before. It sounded similar to the sawtooth wave before, but it was completely different when he looked closely. It sounded like a mixture of electric piano and organ, full and rich in layers, as if it came from Gatsby's gorgeous party, giving people a magnificent and elegant and pleasant listening experience.

Obviously, this is another electronic music, but what is different from the previous two times is that this time it is not just one song, but two completely different versions of a song. One is a progressive house with vocals and an extremely unique style, while the other is an unplugged version with traditional instruments. The climax of this version is replaced by a violin, which has a unique charm and is more like a gorgeous modern country music.

Of course, it also includes general information such as the MV, song title, and producer.

Avicii/Aloe Blacc——"wake me up"

Ryan opened his eyes and found that everyone in the classroom was looking at him.

He picked up the test paper, quickly handed it to the teacher, and then left the classroom without looking back.
