American Entertainment: Taylor Swift wrote a song for the beginning

Chapter 89: Half-step Queen (reward and more, please subscribe)
Three days later, in the recording studio, the demo of "Unstoppable" recorded by Taylor was playing. Her interpretation of the song had a little girlish tenderness, like the theme song of The Powerpuff Girls.

"It seems like you have a good relationship." Scooter said with a slight smile.

"Is that Swift singing?" asked a man in the recording studio.

He spoke with a thick British accent, had a large nose, deep eye sockets, and his skin looked poor from a close distance. He wore a signature white T-shirt.

Simon Cowell's strength in the circle can be summarized by just three programs - "The X Factor", "Britain's Got Talent" and "American Idol". These are three well-known talent show variety shows, in which he served as a judge and planner, and he is a banner of the British entertainment industry.

It’s just that his record company is closer to Sony Music, and the records of his artists are also released by Sony. Ryan doesn’t understand why he is here.

"Young people, we have received a mysterious performance arrangement and will perform at a very important occasion. I cannot disclose the performance location to anyone. As a response to the performance, we are allowed to release a song. I started looking for it three months ago, but haven't found a suitable one. When I heard the demo sent by UMG, I realized that this is what I wanted." Simon said.

Just by listening to this description, Ryan vaguely guessed that the so-called "mysterious performance arrangement" could not be revealed to the outside world.

"So, is she here?" Ryan asked.

When Ryan heard who his partner was this time, he agreed to cooperate without saying a word, and then went straight to meet up with Scooter without wasting even a day, so much so that Taylor and Abigail complained that Ryan was ruthless and ran away after enjoying it.

"Of course, but her schedule is busy and she's not on the same flight as me...I'll call her and ask." Simon took out his cell phone and walked out of the recording studio.

After waiting for only about ten minutes, Simon came back in, followed by a black woman. She was not wearing high heels and her dress was not very special. Her hair was straightened and curled at the bottom, the same style as Beyonce's. She had a long and thin "donkey face", which was the first impression she gave Ryan.

When greeting, she just raised her hand very subtly, and even seemed a little embarrassed. You know, she is a young female singer who is more popular than Ryan.

"Leona," she said very quietly.

No matter how you look at it, it seems a bit too shy.

Leona Lewis, the woman who has been in the top three of the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart since Ryan started paying attention to it, is still the case today. During this period, she has "sent away" countless well-known singers, such as Low, Madonna's 4 Minutes, and Mariah Carey's rejuvenation work.

Even when Ryan came up, she was still in the top three.

This is just in the United States. In her home turf of the UK, she has been extremely popular this year, breaking many records. Bleeding Love was the champion single in the UK market last year. She debuted by winning a talent show. During the competition, she was compared with the three old divas Mariah Carey, Celine Dion and Whitney Houston, and also sang the classic songs of the three. After signing with the record company, this year she can be said to have become a half-step queen just by relying on Bleeding Love and Better in Time.

It can be said that in 2008, the most likely to take over from the three and the most popular adult lyrical singer is Leona Lewis, not Adele.

A year later, James Cameron chose the original team of "My Heart Will Go On" to produce the theme song of "Avatar" "I See You", and the singer was Leona Lewis. At that time, she was recognized as the vocal successor.

But Leona Lewis just couldn't take the remaining half step. Not only that, after missing out on many "divine songs" in succession and failing in market positioning, she began to fall rapidly. After just one or two years, she was completely gone, and could be called a taxi in the music world.

And if she can produce more good songs after the two big singles, maybe the new top five will be completely changed...

"Then can we start recording?" Scooter took the initiative to bring it up when he saw that the atmosphere was a little dull.

"No problem at all." Simon nodded immediately.

"Do you need to get ready?" Ryan looked at her.

Leona shook her head: "That's not necessary at all."

At least when it comes to singing, she is still very confident.

She walked into the recording studio, put on headphones, and began to record according to the lyrics. The sound was transmitted to the outside at the same time, and Ryan, Scooter, and Simon were soon immersed in it.

At first glance, her voice carries with it the attribute of peace and prosperity for the country and the people, but upon closer listening, it is not overly deep, but has its own style, which is the sweetness of a young woman. The clarity and loudness of this voice when she sings the high notes also amazed Ryan.

After getting used to Taylor's loud voice, it's obvious that she's from two different worlds when she sings.

"Can you sing it again? The last note was a little shaky." Ryan said into the microphone after singing it once. Through the transparent glass, Leona could be seen making an OK gesture.

Scooter, who was standing next to them, was discussing the promotion plan for this song with Simon.

Today's popular new male artist, plus this year's hottest new female artist, and the outstanding quality of their songs, all add up to one word - a spree!

"This is a difficult situation. You know, we have to prepare for that secret performance..." Simon whispered.

What this means is that I am really too busy to do any large-scale promotion in the near future.

Scooter also understood the other party's "difficulties", but still fought for some opportunities, and Ryan had to go to London in person.

Leona Lewis is very busy and often has to travel back and forth between Europe and the United States, but in just a few hours, the recording was basically completed. Compared with the original version in Ryan's mind, the song was interpreted in a completely different style, which is also very beautiful.

Ryan is very confident about this song and believes it will definitely take the market by storm.

"How much?" When Taylor's mother heard Ryan's current offer for nightclub performances, she was so surprised that she was speechless for a long time.

"Will there be any nightclubs inviting you?" Taylor put the vegetables into her mouth. Tonight, Ryan accepted Taylor's invitation to visit her home and have dinner with her family.

With the release of "Unstoppable", it debuted in the top ten in the second week. It was also in that week that Ryan had three songs in the top ten. This is a quite exaggerated result. It can be said that he has already locked in the "Grammy Best New Artist Award" next year.

Although Harlem Shake's ranking began to decline rapidly the following week and completely dropped off the charts a month later, it can be said that it had accomplished its historical mission.

Currently, Ryan still has two songs on the list. Wake Me Up has been at ninth place for three weeks, and Taylor's Love Story has reached sixth place. However, Ryan also has another song "Unstoppable" ranked third, which always keeps her ahead of him.

As for Leona's old songs, they seemed to have lost popularity, and dropped directly to the top ten two weeks after the release of Unstoppable.

Currently, Katy Perry's "I Kissed A Girl" is at the top of the chart, while the Jonathan Brothers' "Burnin' Up" debuted at number five this week.

"It's definitely less than before, but after all, I earn more and it's easier," Ryan said.

His current offer is so high that even the top nightclubs in big cities cannot afford it. They make a profit by selling alcohol, so no matter how high their daily income is, there is a limit.

Ryan is now a popular star, naturally a level higher than other DJs. The appearance fee of one person is enough to invite the top three of the top 100 DJs.

"Is there a way to make more money?" Taylor wondered.

No matter how much Ryan earns, she will never think it is too much.

"The only way is... to learn from Europe and create a new type of nightclub..." Ryan explained to Taylor's family. He had been thinking about this problem for a while, but he had not formed a feasible plan.

"If you want to be a nightclub owner, forget it." Taylor shook his head immediately. Although he had his informant Daddario by Ryan's side and Ryan's performance was not bad, if he really had a bunch of nightclub girls around him every day...

You can guess what will happen, by then Ryan will make a few more people pregnant!!!

nightmare.

Ryan didn't respond, but looked at Taylor's father.

"Scott, are there any investment channels..." Ryan tried to speak. During this period, relying on performances in nightclubs, plus the share of four songs, and other miscellaneous income, such as the share of sound effect plug-ins, the licensing fees of remixes and adaptations, and the share of YouTube videos, he has completed this year's goal ahead of schedule and became a millionaire. This money lying in the bank cannot keep up with inflation, and this money must be put to work.

"Of course, what type do you want to invest in?" As soon as the topic of investment came up, Taylor's father immediately became interested.

"My investment direction may be a little special. I want to bet on the collapse of US housing prices." Ryan spoke slowly.
