Chapter 324: Such a Tiny Avril Lavigne(1/3)
Chapter 324 What a small Avril
Kanye West was wronged by being scolded.
This former black music producer moved from hip-hop superstar Jay-Z's Roc-a-record label to DreamWorks Music in June this year.
His luck is a bit bad, a bit unlucky.
After becoming a singer of DreamWorks Music, the former producer of Roc-a-record company produced a black hip-hop style album with the help of the company.
Kanye West is very confident about this album.
He put a lot of effort into the album, and there are also several good songs invited by DreamWorks Music.
Kanye West feels that once this album is released, he will definitely be super popular.
He will definitely become a black hip-hop superstar like Jay-Z soon.
After recording and long preparation, Kanye West’s album is planned to be released on September 10th.
Under the control of David Geffen, the album was indeed released on September 10th as planned.
Kanye West was very excited all day long. On the night of September 10th, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep well all night.
The reason is that at noon the next day, he will know the first-day sales of his first album.
But the next day was September 11th.
It’s still the same day in this month in 2001.
On this day, let alone the new album of a new hip-hop singer.
Even Michael Jackson's new album would be released at this time.
It is estimated that there will be no good results.
Kanye West's first self-sung album is full of typical West Coast hip-hop black singer styles, and sales have stalled.
No matter how good the quality is.
DreamWorks Music dare not risk the whole United States to promote Kanye West during this special period.
In the American record industry, especially in the special field of black hip-hop, if publicity is not good, even Michael Jackson's record sales will be cut in half.
What's more, a pure newcomer among singers like Kanye West.
Kanye West's fantasy of becoming a hit overnight was put on hold.
Fortunately, there is no end to Kanye's path.
DreamWorks Records' soft power in terms of singers, music, and influence is not very strong yet.
But DreamWorks Music, which has super strong power, gave Kanye West a new opportunity.
That is to get a chance to perform in Times Square in front of hundreds of millions of people around the world, in front of hundreds of millions of people in the United States.
As long as the operation is good and the song is popular.
Such a grand appearance can completely make Kanye West famous overnight.
The album will be re-released later so we can promote it well.
It's not impossible to create a new super black hip-hop star.
This is the request of David Geffen who thinks Kanye West has great potential.
Michael Levine, who didn't know much about music, followed the advice of David Geffen.
Michael gave Kanye West this chance.
Let the latter come up with a few songs and pick one to sing when the time comes.
This is mainly because in the black hip-hop music circle, both the lyrics and the originality of the songs are very important.
Only singers who can write popular songs and lyrics themselves can become popular in this circle.
If you want Xiao Kan to become famous overnight, of course it is best for him to write his own songs and lyrics.
Kanye West is extremely excited. The black guy stayed up late to produce two new songs and selected three songs from his first album.
After completion, Kanye West gave the music and lyrics of the five songs to Michael Levine for approval.
Then the scene that Abel saw happened.
Kanye West was severely criticized by Michael Levine because the lyrics of the song were too unhealthy.
Halfway through the scolding, Abel's appearance caught their attention.
Michael Levin, whose face was still full of anger, immediately smiled and ran towards Abel.
"Ah, BOSS! You are here."
Michael looked exhausted.
At this moment, he looked very happy, and he had completely eliminated the look he had when he was looking at Kanye West just now, as if he wanted to kill the black hip-hop singer with one shot.
Looking at Michael Levine who couldn't hide his tired look no matter what, Abel smiled and patted his shoulder:
"Thank you for your hard work, Michael. But as for the concert, I can only rest assured if you do it. That will only make you a little more tired."
Michael Levine immediately smiled and said: "I don't think it's hard at all. BOSS, I'm very good at this, you know!"
Abel smiled and stopped taking up the topic.
He looked at Kanye West who was more than ten meters away and didn't dare to come over again.
At this time, Abel already knew that this black hip-hop singer was still a little young and young.
It was Kanye West, the black hip-hop superstar who became famous throughout the American hip-hop industry and became famous all over the world.
"What's wrong with him?" Abel pointed at Michael Levine and Kanye West.
Michael Levine had no idea what happened at Madison Square Garden.
Let me tell you what happened to Kanye West this time.
"That won't work. After all, we are facing a mainstream audience this time. And situations like September 11 are not suitable for black hip-hop."
Abel directly sentenced Kanye West to death, "He is still a new singer. We cannot let him get involved."
Kanye West, who heard Abel's words not far away, suddenly turned gray on his face——
Well, you can't actually tell.
Because Akan's face is darker than gray.
The big boss spoke, and Michael Levine was also very angry just now.
Naturally, Michael nodded immediately, "Okay! I think none of these hip-hop singers are suitable!"
"But." Abel pointed at Kanye West again, "I heard David say that this kid has a good talent and can make money for the company."
"Forget it this time. Tell David and ask him to promote this guy's album and try to help DreamWorks Music itself promote a black hip-hop superstar."
Smith Media has a strong presence in the music sector.
Mainly provided by Music DreamWorks, the person in charge is David Geffen.
But David Geffen is too rich and is destined not to sit in this position forever.
So as one of the presidents of Smith Media, Michael Levine is responsible for the area of music in the company.
Hearing what Abel said, Michael Levine of course nodded again, and made a mental note of Abel's explanation.
Kanye West, whose face is so dark and desperate.
After hearing Abel's words, he suddenly came out of desperation, with a happy expression on his face.
Kan wanted to thank Abel, because it was Abel who got him into DreamWorks Music and gave him the opportunity to release records.
Now Abel gave him another chance.
Akan wanted to speak, but unfortunately Abel didn't even look at him, turned around and walked to the rehearsal venue with Michael Levine.
With so many bodyguards behind him, Kanye West didn't dare to act rashly.
The last time I was pinned down to the ground and beaten hard by the security staff of Rock.
Kanye West still remembers it clearly
Abel, on his side, was talking softly to Michael Levine.
"Michael, what's the overall situation? There are still five days left, no. Only four and a half daylight hours."
"BOSS. I think there is no problem at all. These superstars are very cooperative and work very hard."
"That's good. Hey, I thought there would be one or two big-name and angry people. If there are such people, you have to tell me."
"BOSS, I understand what you mean. Do you want us to make it ourselves?"
Hearing this, Abel stopped and looked at Michael Levine.
The latter felt a little guilty, wondering if his boss didn't like what he said.
Didn't you, the boss, say that you want to cause trouble and blackmail singers from other companies?
