American Entertainment: Taylor Swift wrote a song for the beginning

Chapter 60 Agency
On the afternoon after the exam, Ryan did not return home, but returned to the team for training. In addition to the fact that he felt embarrassed for being absent from training for too long, it was also because of some personal image promotion plans arranged by the public relations manager Paula.

At this moment, in the stands of the school stadium, Ryan's accompanying photographer Jack was taking pictures of Ryan in training. He also took some pictures of Ryan's life in school.

Ryan returned to the stands between practices to check on the other side and take photos.

"Wait, at this time, you should roll up your sleeves and show your muscles, yes, that's it." Jack pressed the shutter.

"You are very photogenic, Ryan. These photos will help fans get to know you better. But I need some extra time to retouch them. It would be best if you could give a brief interview and introduce yourself. I will send them to you tonight..." Jack couldn't remember the girl's name.

"Social media assistant, Elizabeth Olsen," Ryan said without even looking up.

"Yes, that's her." Jack nodded.

"You know her email address." Ryan handed the camera back to him.

"I know."

Ryan called Elizabeth directly at this time, but she hung up the call quickly.

[I'm in class, Ryan.] Followed by an annoyed expression.

Ryan sent her a text message to instruct her on tonight's work, including editing, a simple text introduction, as well as typesetting and publishing.

【I may have other plans tonight. 】

[Then act quickly. I want to see the blog published at 8 o'clock tonight at the latest.]

[But it’s almost five o’clock now.]

So I say you need to act fast.

Ryan stopped talking nonsense. Last night, Olsen released her first copy after becoming a social media assistant, which summarized the reviews of Harlem Rock and Tremor from major electronic music media.

The editor of RA (Resident Advisor, a famous electronic music online community based in London) made a detailed disclosure of Dr.Ray and called him the hottest new DJ in North America. He also said that Ryan can make the party goers split (because of the name of Tremor song) and make people swing to their heart's content.

Ryan thinks what this article says is correct. After all, there are only a few well-known new DJs in North America.

Remix magazine named Tremor its best album of the month and urged electronic music fans who haven't bought it yet to buy a digital copy.

DJ Magazine focused on the viral rise of Harlem Shake in North America, calling it "the organic fusion of electronic music and Internet communication. Harlem Shake is an excellent party music, and this may be the beginning of the popularity of electronic music in North America."

Magazines focusing on avant-garde art, such as "XLR8R", have begun to analyze the special sawtooth wave sound that appears in Tremor. The article predicts that this sound will quickly become popular in the field of electronic music.

In addition, Ryan's songs also appeared in electronic music-related media organizations including Pitchfork, FACT Magazine, and Electronic Beats.

Mainstream electronic music media gave Tremor extremely high ratings, while the reputation of Harlem rock media was slightly weaker in comparison.

As for the new song that he just got through the sense of sight... Ryan feels that the media reputation will undoubtedly be higher. Nowadays, electronic music is either about having fun to the end without any meaning, commonly known as party music, or it is related to love between men and women. Taylor is best at this subject.

From this perspective, the concept of "wake me up" is on a higher level. The structure of the song itself has a sense of simplicity and harmony, not many instruments are used, and the melody is extremely catchy.

It's not without difficulties. Just like the original sawtooth wave tone, the electronic music version of this song uses a tone that Ryan has never heard before. However, considering that he has Dead Mouse's universal tone plug-in, it should not be difficult to imitate.

Just as he was thinking about it, Ryan's cell phone rang again.

"Hey, Ryan, I admit that I misjudged you. I didn't expect you to become popular so quickly." A strange voice came from the other end of the phone.

The voice is rather rough, and it is not difficult to infer that the person speaking should be quite strong.

Ryan thought for a moment and suddenly recalled: "It's just luck, Tiesto." The person who called Ryan was Tiesto, one of the most famous DJs today, known as Uncle Tie.

"You were performing on the ultra stage at the time and I was in the backstage. I thought Tremor was a song by Dead Rat, but later I found out that it was produced by a high school student. I said I should sign you at all costs, but I didn't expect you to be kidnapped by a Jew." Tiesto talked about what happened before.

It sounded like a simple greeting, and Ryan started chatting with him. Tiesto invited Ryan to tour Europe, which didn't sound like a courtesy. Tiesto said that S Factory had its own performance agency in Europe.

Ryan rejected the offer, thinking now was not the right time to go to Europe.

"Ok, you're always welcome to come to the Netherlands. We have a lot of people who want to meet you. Also, there are a lot of people who want to make a remix based on your original song."

"Remix?"

"That's right. In addition, your songs are played in many large nightclubs in Europe. To be honest, these nightclubs should pay you licensing fees." Uncle Tie said again.

Internationally, music copyright is divided into five specific categories: the right of reproduction, the right of distribution, the right of public performance (performance), the right to create derivative works (adaptation), and the right of public display (quotation). Master tapes and lyrics are calculated separately from the authorization perspective, so there are a total of ten types of authorization.

These nightclubs violated Ryan and the record company's right of public display.

"Then I can only let the record company's legal department handle this matter." Ryan said. The domestic copyright infringement in the United States has been dealt with, but there are still a lot of infringements in Europe.

"That's right. The record company's legal department will have to travel across the ocean to Europe, and collecting evidence alone is a big problem. But I can help you. If your record company is willing, we can sign an authorization agency agreement. This way you can earn extra income, and the same goes for the record company. What do you think?" Tiesto expressed his intention at this time.

"I need to discuss this with Scout," Ryan said.

"No problem, I'll be waiting for your call anytime."

Ryan turned and called Scooter.

"Nightclub? Republic Records has never encountered this kind of problem before. UMG (Universal Music Group, the parent company) will most likely not agree. Europe has local legal departments. However, this involves a completely new music field, and Europe is leading in this regard. I think we can try to cooperate." Scooter said on the other end of the phone.

“Can you handle the parent company?”

"I think so."

"That's decided. In addition, I have already found candidates for the public relations manager and legal affairs." Ryan mentioned the relevant information of his team.

"You found it yourself?" Scooter was a little surprised on the other end of the phone.

"Yes, through a friend."

"No problem, as long as you think the price is right. After all, this is your own team." Scooter said with a smile. It seemed that he didn't mind this and had no intention of exerting control over Ryan.

"Also, I wrote a new song, which I think is pretty good," Ryan mentioned.

"Really?" Scooter showed surprise for the first time on the other end of the phone.

"You didn't let me down, Ryan."

“Not only does this song have lyrics that make it an electronic song that can break into the mainstream, but it also has two versions, this time with a country music singer.”

"Country music singers? Country music is Sony's territory. There are not many country music record companies under UMG. Who do you want to cooperate with?"

"Taylor Swift. If she has the right voice," Ryan said.
