Chapter 132 debut album

"As soon as I came in, I heard you talking badly about me, McDy."

Before Madison's ending sound was completely released, Zhao Youzhen's office door was pushed open again.

This time, it was the smiling face that the girl from Long Island had been thinking about for more than a week.

"I've bought you coffee."

Han Yi put the Starbucks paper bag in his hand on the desk and took out the four cups of coffee one by one in order.

"Yuzhen's super large cup of ice American style, Bili's super large cup of vanilla cold brew... and Madison, you know what you will get."

"What will I get?" Madison asked with his hands behind his back and tilted his head.

"Mudslide Cocktail." Han Yi put the matcha latte on the corner closest to Madison, "Green."

"I really think of me as Morty."

Madison complained in a low voice, holding the drink and putting it to his mouth. In front of outsiders, she knew very well how to maintain the normal distance and chat method between the boss and the artist.

Even if it's a joke, there will be no way to cross the line.

But that was just the surface. If anyone could see the fairy tale world inside her, they would find that the princess who lived in the castle was dancing and singing happily.

There are many colorful birds around you that only appear in Disney animations.

He still remembers what I like to drink the most!

The cheerful Madison obviously ignored the fact that Han Yi skillfully retelled the other two girls' favorite drinks.

"Are we going to have a meeting now?"

Of course, no matter how exaggerated the plot arranged in the Pisces girls are, they cannot affect their appearance. Madison took a sip of the latte, looking more concerned about work.

"It's almost three o'clock."

"Let's go." He inserted the straw into the ice latte and shook it. Han Yi threw a look at Zhao Youzhen for consultation.

"Have you finished your work here, Yuzhen?"

"It took me five minutes to watch the baby jump up and down."

Yuzhen pointed to Bili sitting on the sofa with the signature pen in her hand and smiled.

"So it should be over."

"Hey!" Bili said in dissatisfaction, "Who is the little baby?"

"Oh, sorry, I'm not accurate enough."

Yuzhen turned the pen tip into one direction and aimed at Madison.

“There are two.”

"I want to protest, but I still have to win the support of my manager when I wait for the meeting, so..."

“Wubba Lubba Dub Dub.”

Han Yi spoke with Madison almost every second.

"I just knew, watch less cartoons, girl."

While teasing, Han Yi took the lead and opened the glass door.

"Let's hurry up, ladies, there's still a preparatory meeting later... Where is Bili, Phoenias?"

"He was rehearsing in the band and arrived within half an hour."

"Okay, you'll wait here first. We'll come to you after we've solved Madison."

“Okay big bro.”

“It sounds like it’s a bit dangerous to me.”

After a few relaxed jokes, the three of them arrived at the conference room at the entrance of Room 1,000, and the heads of various departments participating in the meeting had their own seats.

Karen Guo, head of A&R department of Han Music, Adrian Nunez, Christopher Stewart, Ray Romules and Abu Thiam, are providing creative planning and

Key characters in song resources.

"Our girl is here."

Seeing Madison Bill stepping into the door first, Adrian Nunez laughed and applauded.

"Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas...congratulations!"

"It's not my first tour, ladies and gentlemen."

Amid the applause of the crowd gradually echoing, Madison lifted his skirt generously, bent his knees down, and made a beautiful thank-you position like a lady.

"But this is the first time in the U.S., I remember correctly."

Sitting in the main seat, Han Yi added with a smile.

“And it’s the Honda Civic tour.”

Honda Civic Tour, Honda USA's annual concert program since 2001. Every year, they sponsor a North American tour under the name of its Civic brand. In 2001 it was Blink-182, in 2005 it was Maroon 5, in 2006

It is The Black Eyed Peas, Paramore in 2010, One Direction in 2015... Although it cannot be said to be the top tour, as long as it is the artist chosen by Honda Civic to sponsor, it means that the voice volume was not much different back then, at least in

Pollstar can rank among the top in the annual concert box office rankings.

“It’s true.”

Madison nodded in agreement. Some of the opening guest work arranged by Scudt Braun before was just one or two performances in a single city of stars. Follow Demi Lovato and Nick Jonah like this.

Si traveled to 44 cities in one go, which is a novel experience that Madison has never experienced before.

More importantly, as a round of tours held in medium and large stadiums, Live Nation's performances offered by FUTURE NOW: THE TOUR hot-scene guests are also quite good, with $3,000 per game, Madison Bill and Bili

Ailish is both, which means that the two girls can get $132,000 in performances for more than three months on tour.

Of course, the performance fee is not the main gain of being the opening guest. The valuable experience of performing live for thousands of audiences every night, as well as the relationship accumulated during the journey, exposure and popularity, is Han Yi who wants Madison and Bili to go from

The wealth obtained from this tour.

"Thank you very much for the valuable opportunities you provide me, Yuzhen, Karen, Adrian, Chris, Ray, Abu, not only the opening guests of the tour, but also all your work for the Madison Beer brand over the past period of time

I remember all my efforts and I am deeply grateful for it.”

Speaking of this, Madison glanced at Han Yi, who had been poking his chest with his hands and kept making a "me, me" lip shaped mouth with his mouth, and showed a cramped smile.

"Yes, boss, you have to thank them, too."

Although she was joking, Madison Bill knew very well in his heart who she needed to thank the most in this conference room.

With his identity as the major shareholder of Mad Decent, he won the feat position of "Cold Water", and then used UTA's relationship to help her and Bili handle 44 popular performances.

Without Han Yi, his career would never have been revitalized in such a short time.

"Thank you."

As his thoughts came, Madison looked at Han Yi and said softly.

“At HMG, I felt the importance I had before…it was really like home.”

"Sensational words, wait until the meeting is over."

Karen Guo couldn't stand this kind of scene the most. She waved her hand and said.

"Look at the song we found for you first. Maybe after listening to it, you won't thank us."

"I'm highly skeptical of this, but..."

Madison spread his hands out.

"Come on, let's hear it."

"Let's first talk about this song that has been confirmed, "Stay."

Under the gesture of Karen Guo's eyes, Emma Morris, who was sitting at the end of the conference room, quickly turned on his phone and connected to JBL Xtreme in the center of the conference table via Bluetooth. Yes, the record company does not have tens of thousands of places everywhere.

The monitor speaker of USD one, using this portable Bluetooth device to listen to music, is the daily routine of meetings.

“Waiting for the time to pass you by,

Hope the winds of change will change your mind.

I could give a thousand reasons why,

And I know you, and you've got to…”

"Most of you know, but I'll repeat it again. This song Future Bass is from Interscope's good friend. Our boss has a close relationship with Mr. Yowen, and I happened to have some old acquaintances on Def Jam.

”

Turn the volume of the Demo to play as the background sound, Karen Guo explained.

"Def Jam originally wanted to pair with artists within the group. It is said that the person he liked the most was Alessia Kara, but Yi and I... owe some favors, or let others pay back the favors, so we put this song

Take the feature over."

“This song really has the potential to be a hit single.”

When the Drop sounded, Zhao Youzhen listened and sighed.

"The vocal slice at the beginning has a very memorable point, and the structure is simple and direct. It also meets the needs of the radio, the characteristics of the list and the public aesthetics. The chorus part of the vocals is 45 seconds, and the Drop is sliced ​​in 1 minute and 05 seconds. If placed

Listening on the radio station means there are two highlights that attract the audience to retain within twenty seconds."

"Together with Zedd's recent popularity, if we help Def Jam do a good job of joint promotion and promotion in this song, the results will be quite amazing."

“That’s why I must take this song.”

Han Yi took over the conversation. Even if some songs topped the list, you can't figure out why they became popular, but some songs, you will know that their grades will never be bad for the first time, because they almost perfectly match the modern world.

All requirements for pop music.

"Lean On" is such a song, and so is "Stay". It doesn't take seven years of advanced information, and anyone who hears the demo of Zedd will admire the keen sense of popularity of the German producer and his creative team.

In other words, if the song doesn't become popular, there is no need for HMG and Def Jam marketing and promotion departments to continue to exist.

For this single, Han Yi mentioned it to Jimmy Yowen at UTA's welcome party, and once after the workshop between Yowen and Yang Academy, and asked Karen Guo and her former colleagues to join Karen Guo

After making a match, he snatched the feature from Alessia Kara.

"This is undoubtedly the jewel in the crown, but..."

Karen Guo is always the one who pours water into the parade.

“It can’t be our first promotional single.”

"Why can't?" Madison was a little puzzled. "The demo sounds complete."

“Demo is indeed fine, but Zedd’s previous release plans are very full,” Adrian explained. “In mid-July, he had a single with the two newly signed silver guys.”

“Grey?”

"Yes, Grey." Adrian nodded, "Starving, Hayley Stanfield, Zedd and our Grey. Mastering rights are on Hayley's Republic Records. As for music copyright, the main share

Here in us. The Trevasar brothers are not only producers, but also creators.”

If the normal development of the previous life, Grey should have signed a contract with Island Def Jam and became Zedd's junior brother. In the field of electronic music, the top 100 DJs with extremely heavy performance tasks are looking for creators and producers to work together, or even directly

It is not uncommon to buy Gunner’s works behind the scenes. From Steve Aoki, R3HAB, to Zedd and even Diplo, Gunner has been used extensively.

The music released by Zedd was questioned from the beginning because of the gunman. Some of the early classic works "Clarity", many music fans pointed out that it was produced by Porter Robinson. In the past two years, Porter Robinson's personal career

As he began to take off, Zedd also found another group of "creator partners" to continue to maintain his release frequency, and this group of creative partners is Grey.

“Let’s not forget Grey doing the rest of his music.”

This Diplo's ridicule of Zedd is a reflection of Grey's musical talent and the reason why Han Yi strongly asked Adrian Nunez to sign this creative group.

"Starving" and "The Middle", the music copyrights of these two hot orders alone can earn back the $500,000 advance payment issued by Han Distribution.

More importantly, Han Yi is very optimistic about the dual strength of the silver-haired brothers in front and behind the scenes. Many of the singles they released themselves have the potential to become popular, but they just lack the operation of a strong team.

With appropriate promotion and promotion, coupled with some traffic-friendly singers, Grey became the next The Chainsmokers... No, in 2016, it is not unimaginable that it should be alongside The Chainsmokers.

Han Yi not only needs to eat the electronic music cake, but also needs to be innovative.

"In addition, according to Def Jam's team, Zedd will release a collaborative single with "League of Legends" in September, and we don't want to squeeze in the playlist of holiday radio after October 15, so the fastest

The release time will be until the end of January next year."

In the United States, starting from October 15, radio stations have started to launch Christmas singles with a strong festive atmosphere one after another. Unless they are really a superstar, few musicians are willing to go to mid-October to 1 in mid-October.

New orders will be released within the three months of the middle of the month.

It is difficult to get radio broadcasts, and it will definitely not be able to beat "Christmas Take Your Life".

"When will we release this album?" Madison raised his hand and asked.

"What's your idea?"

Han Yi threw the problem back.

"You're the one who wants to put your name on the album cover."

"I think maybe February next year is better?" Madison thought for a while and suggested carefully, "Before this year's tour, first release a promotional single to see the effect, and then if possible, the second one will be released in September.

Song. After Christmas, the third single, "Stay", will be released, and the album can be officially released."

"Karen?"

"I don't think it's a problem." Karen Guo shrugged his chest with his hands, "As long as we can decide the two previous promotional singles today, everything will be still time."

“What other options do we have?”

"Grey has another song, "I Miss You." "Adrian said, "This song requires female voice, mastering and music copyright are completely on our side."

"I've heard this song mixing is clean and of high quality." Speaking of this, Christopher Stewart shook his head, "But the overall style is not suitable for making a promotional single... I can't say that, if

The album has a good grade, and it is the fourth and fifth promotional singles, but it is not suitable for the lead."

"I agree." Abu Tiam echoed, "the chorus is still a bit less popular, and the work with a stronger personal style. I think this should be why Zedd didn't label him."

"There is a demo that is being polished over Cheat Codes, which I think is not bad." Adrian looked at the laptop in front of him and clicked on the screen.

"I also want a female singer."

“Cheat Codes, right.”

Han Yi pondered for a moment and said.

"Let them not rush to finalize that song. How long will it take for our music creation camp to start?"

"Just next week, I've found a place in Palisade in the Pacific."

"Lauv will come over, right?"

“Yes, from New York.”

"Tell me down - I must let him meet with Cheat Codes and see what he thinks about this song, especially the vocal melody." Han Yi reminded seriously, "This is very important, I think his

Independent popularity plus Cheat Codes' Tropical House should create very interesting sparks."

What interesting sparks?

"No Promises".

If it weren't for Adrian Nunes mentioning it, he would have forgotten that the song Cheat Codes was completed in collaboration with Lauv this year.

It just so happened that both groups of artists have signed contracts with them now.

What a coincidence?

"That song depends on the speed of production. If it is fast enough, it can be put before the tour starts as the first promotional single. It just so happens that whether it is Cheat Codes, Lauv or McGrady, it needs to be released as soon as possible after signing the contract.

A song.”

Ali Lof is a complete newcomer, and Madison Bill has been supporting popularity with her social media updates at least so far. As for Cheat Codes, it was released on Spinnin Records and Kris Kross Amsterdam as an independent artist in February this year.

"Sex" has been well received, so far, and has been certified by British platinum records and American gold records. It has entered the top ten on the UK singles chart, and the online viewing volume has exceeded 200 million times. They urgently need one

The single continued the momentum of "Sex" and made Cheat Codes officially join the ranks of popular producers.

"At the end of June, this song. At the end of July, "Cold Water". If it works properly, Madison will have two singles on the charts at the same time..."

Han Yi roughly estimated in his mind. If we look at historical results, by the end of August, not only are the two songs on the charts at the same time, but Madison Bill will probably become one with two singles on the Billboard singles chart at the same time.

The supernova of ten.

So……

"At this time, we can draw out another style from the album."

"Which style is independent and popular? Or slow love songs?"

Madison sat upright and asked curiously.

"It can be said that there are some, or there aren't."

Han Yi's right index finger circled around the air, signaling the next demo in the playlist of Karen Guo.

"This song will still be jointly released by us and Interscope. Producer The Futuristics has made a song for Holch before."

“It will be a single that combines pop electronics, indie pop, modern R&B and pop rap.”

"The rapper you worked with is Machine Gun Kelly."

"This song is called... "Bad Things."

The company is busy recently and will set off to take a tour tomorrow, so I have recently entered the state of spending on papers. Maybe I can only guarantee one update every day on Monday. Sorry, I will write and explode after I come back!
