The legend of rebirth

Chapter 499
After a relaxing weekend rest, Monday will come soon. On this day, Chu More'er will go to the Juilliard School to formally attend classes.

Song Yan and Mai Ruina are going back to Montauk. Mai Ruina's team members have arrived in New York, and the decoration of the office area of ​​Beacon Records has also been completed. Beacon Records will reopen soon. And began to host the company's work.

In the early morning, two sports cars drove out of the back cabin of the Swan, but only one came back in the morning. Ye Luo's car came back, and Song Yan drove a red sports car and drove Mai Ruina straight to Montauk.From here to Montauk, it takes more than two hours to drive, which is much faster than taking a yacht.

After sending Chu More'er to school, the Swan pulled anchor and set sail, and began to sail slowly towards Montauk.

The journey took a day and a night, and it was Chavez who was driving the boat. He sailed when he was awake, and the boat broke down when he was asleep.

Ye Luo concentrated on making arrangements, and when the Swan arrived at Montauk Lake, Chavez's first album had twelve songs, and Ye Luo's arrangement demos were all completed.

However, the production of the album and the arrangement of demos are only the first step, the main work is still in the recording studio.

Ye Luo walked slowly along the way, and finally got out of the recording studio.The day after his arrival in Montauk, the new Beacon Records officially opened for business.

There will be no press conferences or receptions for the opening.

Ye Luo and Hu Jianing, while smoking, lit two strings of thousands of firecrackers bought from Chinatown at the entrance of the company with their cigarette butts. There was a burst of crackling, and then Tang Jinxiu took a broom and swept the entrance of the company. Opening ceremony.

In the first internal company meeting after the opening, we were faced with an old-fashioned problem—there was no money.

"We brought in a total of 4000 million US dollars." Song Yan calculated to Ye Luo one by one, "Buying companies and land, 3000 million; yachts, cars, apartments, 750 million; Molo Chavez's new The contract signing fee is 100 million; Mai Ruina's team has about 150 people, and this month's salary is [-] million."

After the account was settled, Song Yan smiled at Ye Luo with a sense of accomplishment on her face: "Ye Dong, look, there is not a penny left, and I am spending more and more money now."

Ye Luo rolled her eyes: "Don't mess with me, the salary of Sister Mai's team is not paid now, what date is it today?"

"Well then, there is 150 million left." Song Yan smiled, "This is the starting capital for our first record. Director Ye, it seems that we are a bit stretched. Do you want to transfer some funds from the California head office?"

"No need." Ye Luo shook his head, "Lao Ding is a man of great courage and quick thinking, since I gave him [-] million US dollars as the starting capital, every penny of his money will be useful.

Now if I ask him for money again, he will affect his whole body with a single hair, and he must slap the table with me?Forget it, 150 million is 150 million, isn't it worse for us before? "

"How many record sales stores are Lighthouse Records currently opening in Los Angeles?" Mai Ruina asked at this time.

"Poor thing, Thirty." Song Yan shook her head, "Their best record in the past ten years has only sold [-] copies, and it's still Chavez's record."

"How many record sales stores are there in New York?" Ye Luo asked.

"Three at 140." Song Yan looked at the documents on the desk, "There were still four at 140 last week, and one just went bankrupt."

"That's all right, 100 million is used to increase the number of doors, and there are 50 left. Except for the production cost of the record, all the others can be advertised." Ye Luo said, "By the way, Mr. Song, in Times Square poster, you can change it for me."

"Okay." Song Yan smiled and nodded, "You will be a model tonight, and I will draw another one for you."

"Don't draw me, Times Square is right next to the Juilliard School, I don't want Mo'er to be laughed at in school." Ye Luo shook his head, pointed outside the door, "Draw a lighthouse, Lighthouse Records. "

"Alright then." Song Yan replied.

……

In the following week, Ye Luoquan spent time in the recording studio, together with Hu Jianing and Charlie, they devoted all their efforts to making Chavez's new record.

Chavez is very capable. His vocal skills are like a vocal kaleidoscope. He has the feeling of a male version of Song Yan. Except for Chinese folk singing, he has never been exposed to it. There are other rock, folk, jazz, country , soul, blues, blues, as long as it is singing, he can't do it without him.

In the field of pop music, his only weakness is rap.American rap music has a strong black cultural background. As a Hispanic white American, Chavez has little contact with this.

After recording this album, Ye Luo found that she was a bit conservative in her song selection. If she had known that Chavez was so versatile, she could have been bolder in her choice of music style.

But it's not too late to know now, anyway, Chavez is here, it's not just a matter of one or two albums, he is the first male singer Ye Luo got in the United States, there are a lot of good songs waiting for him to sing.

Chavez is a weirdo, not good at words, and he donated all the $100 million in the new contract to the American Cancer Research Institute.He usually stays in a wooden house in the forest, and seems to be ignorant of material comforts, living a life that is almost primitive.

Ye Luo wanted to go out to sea or record records, so he couldn't be contacted with his mobile phone. There was no signal there, so he had to use the radio on the yacht.

Sometimes Ye Luo would visit him and bring him a few fish that he caught himself, and he would be very happy, and would give Ye Luo the wine he brewed.

Of course, this kind of wine is terrible, and I don't know what it is made of, and it has an earthy smell, so in front of Chavez, Ye Luo's alcohol capacity is very poor.

Ye Luo was a little curious about this person, but before he took the initiative to tell her the past, Ye Luo would not gossip about it.

It was Friday, and Ye Luo used the ship's radio to notify Chavez to come over. In the evening, he wanted to take the boat to New York again to spend the weekend with Chu More'er.

While waiting in the boat for Travez to row his scull over, Ye Luo sat in the bow and fished.

Recently, fishing has replaced fitness as Ye Luo's number one hobby.In terms of fitness, now that Ye Luo's body has been shaped, she mainly eats and lifts dumbbells occasionally.

Fish is a high-protein food with not too much fat content, which is the most suitable food for Ye Luo now.

Not long after the fishing line was put down, Ye Luo's cell phone rang. He took it out to check, and Ding Shaoyang called.

"Old Ding, what's the matter?"

"Ye Dong, what have you been up to lately? How come half a month has passed, and there is no movement at all?" Ding Shaoyang's voice rang through the phone, "What's the matter, I'll earn money for you, and then you retire to enjoy life, okay? Bar?"

"I'm only 22 years old, where should I go?" Ye Luo said lazily.

"If you haven't retired, you should make a fuss." Ding Shaoyang said, "I used to live in China with fire, theft, and leaf fall, and my life was full of fear.

Now you haven't moved at all for half a month, I'm not used to it! "

Ye Luo was amused: "According to what you said, you are making a fuss now, right?"

"Of course." Ding Shaoyang said with a smile, "Three new singers, each of them has an album, and they have all finished, and tomorrow they will be released simultaneously in the California music market and Leshi.com.

For Xiao Qiong's new album, I have finished the arrangement demo, and the official recording will start tomorrow.

I said Ye Dong, you have too few singers left for me, I can’t do anything, or Mai Ruina and Mr. Song, you can also lend me two days, and I will release two new albums for them. "

"Don't make trouble." Ye Luo rolled his eyes, "How long has it been since these two released their new album?"

"Haha, I'm just kidding." Ding Shaoyang said, "I'm already looking for a new singer. Melina's network is really deep, and the gossip keeps going. Let alone the bars in California, even in the school, as long as there is a good one The little singer came out, and I knew it before anyone else.

The problem of too few singers can be resolved soon.

Oh, by the way, old man Richard, didn't you ask me to send him a ballad sheet music last time?

This old man is not bad, he has made friends with me.

In the past two days, he was talking to me about the release of Beauty Company's records in Europe.

You also know that this old man's Warner Records is headquartered in the UK, and he is the leader in the European music market. If he can get on his boat, it seems to be pretty good.

Dong Ye, what do you think? "

Ye Luo nodded: "Warner Records is also a parent-level record company with global promotion capabilities, and their main market is in Europe, so they don't conflict with us. This ally can be wanted. It's a long-distance friendship."

"That's what I mean too." Ding Shaoyang said.

"That's fine, you can continue talking with him." Ye Luo said, "Let's start a preliminary cooperation, and when we have more contacts, I will see if there is any possibility of further strategic cooperation."

"That's fine." Ding Shaoyang responded, and then said, "By the way, hurry up and make some noise, don't be compared to me."

"Oh, old Ding, now that you are on my own, I originally wanted to wait for you to come first, and then I will go up slowly, so as not to overshadow your limelight." Ye Luo smiled, "But look at your deadly behavior. Looks like, okay, I will help you.

Tomorrow my new album will be released in New York, and it will be put on Leshi.com at the same time.

Your three albums, all physical sales and downloads combined, are more than mine, I count you as the winner, how about it? "

"It's kind of interesting." Ding Shaoyang became interested, "What should we bet on?"

"Gambling is boring." Ye Luo said, "Indecent."

"Oh, then what are you going to bet on?" Ding Shaoyang asked.

"Shares, 5.00%." ​​Ye Luo smiled, "This time you win, [-]% of the shares of Beauty Company will belong to you, then you will be the third largest shareholder after me and Song Yan. You lose , your shares will be gone.”

"Fuck off, you want me to work for you for nothing." Ding Shaoyang shouted.

"Old Ding, why don't you have any confidence at all?" Ye Luo laughed.

"Anyway, I don't bet on shares. Uh..." Ding Shaoyang hesitated for a long time, then said, "Shall we gamble for dinner?"

Ye Luo shook her head, and hung up the phone with a lonely face.
