The group left the underground nightclub, song Ya followed Da a into his studio.

At the end of the 40 minute live interview, he felt very good, but big a angrily took off his headphones, ”are you here to mess with me? This is a radio interview, not a press conference! ”

”I'm sorry, but I'm always right to be careful.”

Song Ya shrugged his shoulders. The host of the other party complained in similar words during the last interview in Detroit. He would rather be boring than say something wrong.

”You can't do this, aplus.”

Big a asked his younger brother to go on top of him. He pulled song Ya out of the studio, walked into his small office and closed the door. ”What do you think DJs care about most?” He asked.

”Money?” Song Ya will spend $20000 in New York and New Jersey, 10000 in Chicago and 5000 in Detroit, all of which will be used to ”thank you” to small and medium-sized black DJs. During the publicity period, they can get $500 to $1 or $200 for a promotion. Because Columbia Records is not willing to pay for the money, song Ya pays all the expenses.

“NO!”

Although big a also got song Ya's money, he still said in a loud voice, ”everyone is short of money, but we DJs value listening rate most! Do you understand the ratings? No one is listening to the music radio. We black DJs with little culture are not farts. We are not far from being fired or bankrupt. What's the use of your little favor? And if you don't get the ratings, will you still invest in them? ”

“emmm……”

Song Ya thought for a moment, as if this is the truth, ”that is to say, with the listening rate, they can get the promotion money from the record company, but with the promotion money, their listening rate will drop, so they can't even get this money?”

”Well, don't go around talking. I'm a little dizzy.”

Big a said: ”I'll just say that I can help promote with money, but one: the quality of the songs to be promoted should not be too poor. Otherwise, excessive praise will lead to the loss of audience and reduce the listening rate. 2: When you accept an interview, you should be cooperative and make the interview interesting. Only in this way can DJs retain the audience. Otherwise, the audience rating will drop two points after an interview with you. No matter which DJ takes your money this time, he will stay away from you next time. ”

”I see.”

Song Ya understands that although the interview program is intended to promote songs, she, as a interviewee, has the responsibility not to make the program too boring. All in all, the program is interesting, the listening rate is rising, and the DJ of the radio station has received the money and finished the work well. Everyone is happy and win-win. On the contrary, it's a double loss. It's bad luck that the other party's listening rate drops, and he doesn't dare to collect his own money to help promote.

”But...”

Song Ya thought about it again, and felt that there was a big problem. ”Most of the black DJs in the middle and small groups are full of running errands, let alone some people with the purpose of inducing me to say something wrong and make big news. I'm just over 16 years old and can't cope with it.”

Big a sighs, ”then you simply reduce the number of interviews, just ask DJ to help push songs. Don't say it's good, say less and make less mistakes.”

”Brilliant! Simple, effective! ”

Song Ya feels more and more that he is a talented person. He has been very busy and has no energy to deal with all kinds of language traps of DJs from all walks of life. Many ”sticks” can't catch them. So, if you can help me to make the billboard singles list, it's unnecessary to interview.

Song ya, who accepted the ”suggestions” of the University A, changed the follow-up itinerary, with the first purpose of flushing the list. Other details such as interviews were pushed to save energy.

On the 27th, DJ, the host of a well-known music program, came to the studio on the 27th. He saw the vinyl record on the table, picked it up, put a stack of twenty knives under pressure into his pocket, put on his earphone and asked, ”whose song is it?”

”Aplus's, Columbia Records.” The staff who participated in Song Ya's prone body replied.

”The aplus from the second-hand store?”

After getting a positive reply, he picked up the vinyl record and studied it. When the program started, ”Hey! Ladies and gentlemen, we meet again... ” After a little joke, ”today we're going to listen to a new song, aplus, from the second-hand store and to Dirk! This guy is also from Chicago. He has a bright future. I'll tell you... ”

When ifeelitcoming starts playing, he mumbles, ”how can this crappy song look like MJ...”

Mai came back to him and immediately changed his tone, ”Whoa, whoa, whoa It's really a song with a very novel style. It uses a lot of electronic music. I believe it's influenced by the house music which is popular in Chicago recently. On this basis, it goes further and adds... ”
