American Entertainment: Taylor Swift wrote a song for the beginning

Chapter 52 I Don't Care
"Then I'm leaving." Abigail got into her car.

Ryan kissed her goodbye.

"Ryan, are you hiding something from me?" Abigail suddenly asked before leaving.

Did you remember the last time he and her talked on the phone late at night? Ryan's mind was racing.

Ryan sighed and pretended to be heavy: "I don't want you to have wild thoughts. Actually, I went to the recording studio to pick up Taylor yesterday. Her father's friend helped me get the contract. The two wanted to catch up, but her mother called again, so I took the initiative to offer to pick Taylor up."

Abigail glanced at Ryan before starting the car.

Watching the vehicle leave, Ryan breathed a sigh of relief. This might not have been easy.

When he turned around, he saw Taylor approaching stealthily. Ryan asked her which car she drove, and Taylor smiled and explained that she borrowed a car from the recording studio staff.

"You hugged her for so long." Taylor was a little jealous.

"Not even half the time we were in the car last night!" Ryan shook his head.

"You've never hugged me like this before." Taylor walked closer to Ryan, his eyes looking at the ground.

So Ryan picked her up with her feet dangling in the air and walked into the house.

Trae was clearing the table and Taylor took the initiative to greet her.

"Hey, Taylor, you have to know that this is not fair to Abigail." Seeing the intimacy between the two, Trey immediately shook her head and warned them. She didn't expect Taylor to be serious this time.

"This world is inherently unfair," Taylor said.

"It can lead to you losing your best friend."

"I Don't Care." Taylor continued.

Teri had no choice but to leave.

Ryan made a new portion for Taylor, but Taylor ate absent-mindedly, obviously not as indifferent as she said.

"Another one," Taylor said.

"Yo, welcome back, this is the Aphilliates team's weekly Friday night hip-hop live show. As usual, we are broadcasting simultaneously on Hot 107.9, Sirius Satellite Radio's Atlanta channel and Eminem's Shade45 channel. Brothers, it's time to stop the deal in your hands, get up from the women, and lock the door of the trap house to avoid being shot by the enemies who rush in. We have something important to talk about today!" The host spoke the opening remarks as if he was reciting a rap, and his language style was always bluffing.

Ryan was in a radio program studio. The room was filled with smoke from beginning to end, which almost affected visibility. The host and two other resident DJs were puffing out smoke, and the stench of the leaves made Ryan feel nauseous.

Despite his previous statement, Scooter still let Ryan come to Atlanta.

The person sitting opposite Ryan at the moment was a white-skinned mixed-race person, nicknamed DJ Drama, dressed like a hip-hop singer, wearing an oversized black T-shirt, four necklaces, and a baseball cap tilted on his head.

The partner who was in charge of the show, Don Cannon, was a giant who was six feet six inches tall and weighed two hundred and fifty pounds.

"Guess who we invited today, Dr. Ray from Nashville, wooh!" the host made a strange sound.

"His Harlem Shake was like a whirlwind on YouTube, blowing from Miami to Seattle. It just had a nickname that wasn't that great." Zhuama took over the conversation.

This made the other two laugh.

Objectively speaking, the stage name Ryan is not very well chosen.

But no matter what, it's better than "drama", right? Ryan complained in his heart.

Ryan then spoke into the microphone, even lowering his voice a little to make it sound deeper: "Today, when people hear Rui, they may think of De Rui. But in the future, when people hear Rui, they will only think of Rui, and when they hear De Rui, they will also think of Rui."

The implication is that Ryan believes that he will be more famous than Dre in the future. In his hometown in the East, a rookie who just came out would definitely be regarded as an idiot who overestimates his own abilities, but in the West, especially in the current context of trap radio's bluffing, the effect is completely different.

"Cool!" Zhuama and Dukaman looked at each other and thought that this newcomer was quite interesting.

"So Rui, tell us about this electronic dance music, and how did this song become so popular?"

"This song is a mixture of electronic pop, hip-hop, and trap elements..."

Trap literally means trap, which is derived from trap house. It is a local nickname for the "drug" trading place in Atlanta. It is a sub-genre of hip-hop music and is now gradually becoming the mainstream of hip-hop culture.

From a production perspective, trap is no longer confined to the 808 drum machine, but relies more on electronic sound effects, which can be regarded as a fusion product.

DJ Zhuama, who was sitting opposite Ryan, was a big promoter of tarp rap. He had produced mixtapes of many singers and, together with several DJs from Atlanta, formed the Aphilliates Alliance. Their influence radiated throughout the South. Otherwise, there wouldn't be three channels playing at the same time. This was a perfect entry point for Ryan to promote his music in the South.

Besides, the smell at the scene was really suffocating.

However, Ryan was not at all nervous, and soon the conversation became increasingly heated, ranging from discussion of crime culture to current politics, and then back to the topic of music and fame.

"Like you said, things are always out of control. Just a few days ago, when I opened iTunes, guess what? It was full of imitations, disguising themselves as the original authors. If you ask me, these music..." Ryan said casually.

Before he could finish his words, he noticed that the expressions of the three people, including the host, changed immediately.

Especially when he was talking about a horse, he snorted coldly, and his expression 8 turned cold in an instant.

Ryan immediately realized that he had spoken out of turn. Apparently these people had done similar things before.

In fact, last year, Aphilliates' lair was raided by Fulton County police, who confiscated more than 80 mixtapes, 000 cars and some recording equipment. Zhuama and Ducarman were detained on RICO charges. The mixtapes they sold were gray products from a copyright perspective. Zhuama paid $4 in bail at the time, and the lawsuit is still going on.

"...these secondary remixes have now become a part of the music industry, and I have always been open to this." Ryan tried to smooth things over.

Not only did Ryan justify the remix, he also generously stated on the spot that he would not hold those earlier Harlem Rock "remixes" accountable, but he also made it clear that future remixes must be authorized by him.

It seems that he lost a sum of compensation, but if he wants to continue selling these remixes, he must obtain authorization, and Ryan's income will increase as a result.

The endorsement of Zhuama also brought a smile back to the DJ’s face.

The radio program ended in a pleasant atmosphere, and at the last moment, Zhuama recommended Ryan’s two singles to the audience as usual, which was the fundamental purpose of Ryan’s coming here.

In the remaining half month, under Scooter's arrangement, Ryan went to ten cities, most of which were concentrated in the southeastern United States. He participated in a total of fifteen radio programs. His efforts finally paid off. More and more bars, nightclubs, and drag clubs in the entire southeast began to play Harlem Rock, which helped Harlem Rock officially enter the top ten of the club music charts in early May and landed at 100th on the Hot 79 overall chart.

Meanwhile, Tremor continues to climb in the daily sales rankings of beatport, and is currently stable at a position of more than ten, with cumulative sales exceeding 40 copies. The song is much more popular in Europe than in North America. In the UK chart selected by the British OCC organization, Tremor has entered the overall chart, and in the UK Dance Singles and Albums Charts, Tremor has directly reached seventh place. In addition, in other non-English speaking countries in Europe, such as Germany's Offizielle Deutsche Charts, France's SNEP, Spain's PROMUSICAE, Italy's FIMI, the Netherlands' Dutch Top , Sweden's Sverigetopplistan, and Belgium's Ultratop, Tremor has successfully entered the charts.

Two months after its official release, Tremor quietly became popular as word of mouth spread. The biggest reason for this is that young people in Europe are more willing to accept electronic music than young people in the United States. In addition, Tremor itself has no lyrics, which is more conducive to its spread in non-English speaking countries.

Considering the publicity effect brought by various charts, Tremor's daily sales will only increase in the future.

On this day, Ryan, whose radio tour had come to a temporary end, landed in Nashville by plane. After being driven home by Trey, the first thing he did was to turn on his computer.

When Ryan saw a string of numbers on the backend of YouTube, he excitedly hugged Treasure, but somehow they bumped into each other and Treasure pushed Ryan away.

"You want to die?" Terry cursed.

Ryan didn't care at all. Then an email notification appeared on his phone. At this time, Ryan had already changed to the same smartphone as Joel.

[Is the agreement on continued cooperation that you mentioned earlier still in place? ] The sender was Elizabeth Olsen.
