The legend of rebirth

Chapter 450 Los Angeles Times

The two days of getting together with Chu Mo'er, except for the part of dealing with reporters at the record conference, was the happiest time of Ye Luo's year so far.

But just like the song "The Year in a Hurry" at the press conference, this reunion was only a hasty 48 hours. Soon, Ye Luo boarded the flight to the east again to continue his long journey in the United States.

Adjusting the backrest of the first-class seat to a comfortable angle, Ye Luo leaned on the back of the seat and began to think about how to pass the long journey.

At this moment, Song Yan, who was sitting beside him, handed him a newspaper.

"Los Angeles Times?" Ye Luo looked at the newspaper and said in surprise, "Why is there such a thing here?"

"The destination is Los Angeles, so it's not surprising that there are newspapers." Song Yan winked at Ye Luo, "Of course, ordinary passengers don't have them, but we are first-class passengers."

Ye Luo smiled, and handed the newspaper back to Song Yan: "I'm tired of reading English newspapers, I'd better save myself some snacks."

Song Yan didn't answer, but said, "You should read the eighth page of this newspaper. I think you should improve your English reading ability."

"My English reading is not a problem." Ye Luo said lightly.

"Then get used to using it." Song Yan said.

Ye Luo felt a little strange in his heart, but being idle was also idle. He shook open the newspaper and found the eighth page.

Before starting to read, Ye Luo glanced at the date in the newspaper, it was yesterday.

The Los Angeles Times is one of the newspapers with the largest circulation in the United States. Of course, this is also due to the fact that Los Angeles is the second largest city in the United States.

Among them, the eighth edition is the music edition, and some album advertisements and review articles are concentrated here.

Song Yan promoted Ye Luo a while ago, and it was also on this page.Ye Luo had read it at the time, and felt that the author who wrote his biography was simply his fan. Song Yan must have spent a lot of money on it.

On this page right now, the cover of Melina's new album is right in the middle.

And around this cover, there are several review articles, all of which are columnists, because besides the author's signature, there are also their signed photos after each article.

"The loss of the Grammy made Melina more humble. This album produced by Chinese musicians, she chose to start from the local market, and after five years, she once again topped the Los Angeles music radio charts.

When talent and humility collide with each other, when East and West blend with each other, this record has shown a strong upward momentum since its release.Within three days of its release, sales exceeded the 50 mark in one fell swoop.

This is only the local sales in Los Angeles. I believe that in the not-too-distant future, "Fighter" will be well-known to music fans all over the world.

......"

"This is Ye Luo, a musician from China, very smart.

This is a successful speculator.Among the local musicians in Los Angeles, Mai Ruina is undoubtedly the biggest. I don't know what method he used to gain Mai Ruina's trust. This cooperation is undoubtedly very successful.

But we don't know how much of this excellent record is the creation of Mai Ruina and how much is the credit of Ye Luo.

Because we know that Melina is the strongest woman in the world in the field of music production, and many of her record producers are just names.

......"

"...

I'm not used to discussing the singer's private life, but we need to pay attention to one thing, Mai Ruina's new house is located next door to Ye Luo.

Melina is an American of oriental descent, probably influenced by the traditional conservative thinking on the other side of the ocean. Her love life is like a nun who abides by the precepts. No matter how dedicated a lace journalist is, nothing can be gained from her.

But this time, it seems to be different.

Of course, I also sincerely wish that Mai Ruina can achieve a good harvest in both career and relationship.

Let's take a look at Ye Luo's photo again, it's very handsome, isn't it? "

"The production level of this record is very high. This musician named Ye Luo from China deserves our respect..."

"Those three billboards in Times Square in New York should be able to get a contract extension because of this successful speculation by the Chinese.

Let us feel sorry for New Yorkers, because Ye Luo's frivolous and annoying face will continue to torment them..."

Ye Luo browsed through this page, and found that his appearance rate was quite high. He smiled and said, "It's not bad, there are some people who praise me."

"Of course there is." Song Yan said lightly, "Otherwise, my money would be wasted."

"What do you mean?"

"These columnists who said good things about you have all received my checks before." Song Yan said with a slight smile, "So, my Vice President Ye, we still have a heavy responsibility to build the image of the Los Angeles media. It's a long way."

"Things that can be solved with money are nothing." Ye Luo smiled, "However, if it can be solved without money, that's naturally better."

"Yes." Song Yan said, "Because we are really short of money now."

At this time, Mai Ruina turned her head from the front seat and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Ye Luo, I didn't expect you to cooperate with me, and they would interpret it like this. This record is actually made by you, I just Just in charge of singing.

Well, as soon as I get to Los Angeles, I'll make a personal statement. "

Melina also has a newspaper in her hand, and it seems that she has also seen these reports.

"No need." Ye Luo shook his head, "Sister Mai, your name is getting darker and darker. Just ignore them, the best way to deal with the media is not to convince them with your mouth."

"What's that?" Melina asked.

"Throw the facts in their faces." Ye Luo smiled lightly, "then they will be honest soon."

……

When the three of them returned to Los Angeles, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. Mai Ruina went home to rest, while Ye Luo and Song Yan went straight to Erwin Building without stopping.

The two walked into the recording studio and found that Hu Jianing and Charlie were drinking.

Song Yan didn't say anything, but turned to look at Ye Luo.

Although drinking in the company violated the rules, Hu Jianing was Ye Luo's man, and Song Yan would not criticize him for this kind of thing.

Ye Luo was taken aback for a moment, then asked with a smile: "What kind of wine is this?"

"Moutai." Hu Jianing smiled, "It's the case of wine you gave Charlie. He brought a bottle here today. But we didn't drink it when we were working during the day."

"It's not appropriate to drink here." Ye Luo said lightly.

"Oh, this is a celebratory wine." Charlie smiled, "We just finished the record of Angel Boys, let's have a drink to celebrate, let's not take this as an example."

"Come on, listen to it." Hu Jianing handed the earphones to Ye Luo and Song Yan

Ye Luo and Song Yan sat down, took the earphones, and then Charlie turned up the volume for them.

Listening to one song after another, Ye Luo focused and was very serious.

Song Yan's expression was even more surprising. When this record was recorded, she was studying piano at the University of California, and she had never heard the finished product.

Hearing this, Song Yan was dumbfounded.

After listening to all of this album, an hour passed, and then Ye Luo let out a long sigh of relief, and smiled at Charlie: "It's amazing, this tune is absolutely amazing."

"Songs are fine, and my work is nothing." Charlie smiled.

"Is there any wine left?" Song Yan took off her earphones, her expression excited, "Give me a drink too."

Ye Luo looked at the table, there were only two wine glasses, both of which had been drunk, so she simply handed the wine bottle to Song Yan.

Song Yan took the wine bottle, raised her neck and drank it for a while, then wiped her mouth and waved her little hand: "Batch brewing will start tomorrow, and it will be officially released in three days."

"How much is the first batch of circulation?" Hu Jianing asked at this time.

"One million copies." Song Yan said dryly, "Mai Ruina's album has reached 100 copies in three days, so let's at least double that."

"Don't make trouble." Ye Luo gave this girl a white look, "You have a hundred thousand dollars in your pocket, how much do you have to pay the manufacturer for a record production, have you figured it out?"

After being reminded by Ye Luo, Song Yan's expression suddenly sank down: "A record, the production cost here is two dollars."

"That's not it." Ye Luo said, "You still have to keep tens of thousands of dollars for your salary, so for the first batch, let's be realistic and issue [-] copies first. When the funds come back, we will gradually increase the circulation. Don't think about eating it in one go and becoming a fat man."

Song Yan was a little annoyed at this moment, as if she had a little remorse for the extravagant money she spent before.

Ye Luo saw her thoughts, and comforted her: "You, first feel wronged for a while, after a while, you can be extravagant again, and you don't have to ask the family for money."

"Yeah." Song Yan nodded, then glanced at Ye Luo with a shy expression.
