Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

The early morning sun shone down, illuminating the English letters all over the street. Romani hurriedly walked into the Los Angeles Sun weekly with her briefcase in hand.

The Weekly Sun is a small newspaper company in Los Angeles.

Romani currently works as an editor at this newspaper.

Yesterday, Jamie Chen, who has developed from the East to North America, teamed up with Madonna to sing "Lonely", which was so powerful that it parachuted to No. 20 and No. [-] on the North American radio chart in the past four days.

This incident caused quite a stir in North America.

Just like an old saying from Jamie Chen’s hometown, “The trees that are beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.”

Jamie Chen's popularity has been overwhelming for a while, which obviously touched some people's cake.

The Sun then received money from these people and asked them to kill Jamie Chen.

Romani doesn't like these capitalist games.

But what can she do?
She was just an editor and an article writer. Under the pressure from her boss, she had to give in. She rushed to the video store early in the morning and bought Chen Qiming's new record. She planned to write a slanderous article based on the quality of the record. Article by Chen Qiming.

It's not even business hours yet, and there's no one in the newspaper office.

After Romani glanced around, she went to the company's storage room to find a radio, took it to her seat, and plugged in the tape she just bought.

"Zizzizi...Although loneliness...zizizi... has always been...zhizhizhi...a friend of mine..."

The tape in the recorder made a strange sizzling sound, and it took a long time to finish singing a line of lyrics. This made Romani extremely annoyed and she couldn't help but curse:

"Fuck, damn old Will!"

The Sun newspaper is small, but it can survive in Los Angeles, a city with a dense newspaper industry, by being a mercenary.

Well, media mercenaries are the ones who help newspapers write articles if someone pays them.

Commonly known as collecting money to do things.

As long as you give money to movies and songs, The Sun will help you praise them to the sky, and they can also help you stamp them like shit.

As for The Sun, if it can survive, it is natural that they are not just bragging, they are writing based on the facts.

Anyway, even if I scold you, you can't fault me, because everything I scold is right.

And if you want to do this, you must naturally study the target.

Just like Chen Qiming's album, Romani needs to listen to the songs over and over again and then find flaws in them.

Take this as a starting point and draw inferences from one instance.

Therefore, The Sun lacks everything except a tape recorder.

Because this is their food bowl.

But now Romani really wants to fuck all the eighteen generations of her boss Will's ancestors.

My rice bowl is broken, but I am still reluctant to replace it.

Although she had known that this old guy Will was extremely stingy, Romani never expected that this guy would be so stingy that he would not even want to replace the company's weapons and recorders when they were so broken that they could no longer hear the sound.

Snapped!
The sound in the tape recorder was like a drake that clicked its throat. It was unpleasant and uncomfortable. Romani couldn't bear it and simply slapped the switch with her hand and turned off the tape recorder.

After taking out the tape and putting it back into the tape case, Romani looked back and forth in the tape case.

She didn't pay attention when she bought the tape, but now after carefully looking at the portrait of Chen Qiming on the tape box, Romani had to admit that it made sense for this Asian to become famous in Europe and the United States in a short period of time.

Putting aside the quality of the song, the appearance alone is enough to attract many people.

He is so handsome and has a hip-hop style that has emerged in recent years. Even she, a middle-aged woman, feels a little excited.

"Pity……"

With a regretful sigh, Romani put the tape recorder on the table back into the storage room, then rummaged through it again, and finally found a tape recorder that could play the tape completely.

【Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine】

【I'm leaving my life in your hands】

【People say I'm crazy and that I am blindPeople say I'm carried away by emotion】

[Risking it all in a glance and risking the future in the blink of an eye]

……

The intact tape recorder did not make Romani feel better. Instead, as the songs on the tape recorder were played, her face gradually darkened.

To be assigned to pick on Chen Qiming's new album, Romani certainly doesn't know anything about music.

On the contrary, she has a very good sense of music.

When she was young, she was also in a band.

Maybe she can't write a high-quality song, but if you ask her to find fault, she is still very experienced.

However, as the songs played one after another, Romani's face became increasingly ugly.

One, two, three, four...

Adding the theme song of the World Championships "Dream It Possible" and the theme song of the red zone "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark", Romani actually found that there are seven songs in this album that she thinks are enough to hit the Billboard. Twenty songs.

Even among them, "My Heart Will Go On" and "As Long As You Love Me", from Romani's point of view, she would not be surprised if these two songs became number one songs.

In addition, "What Are Words" and "One Love" are also very classic. If the resource flow is sufficient, they are both songs that can hit the championship.

Coupled with the duet "Lonely" by Chen Qiming and Madonna, Romani was shocked.

She quickly opened the tape case and opened the lyrics book inside.

After a while, after reading the lyrics book, Romani looked shocked and froze in her seat.

The twelve songs in the album are all written by Jamie Chen in the lyrics and music column.

In other words, all the songs on this album were composed by this guy alone, and even the producer and arranger columns have his name on them.One person writes all the songs on the entire album.

To be honest, this is not common in North America.

What makes Romani even more frightened is that the quality of this album is so impeccable.

Even the five songs that are not the hit songs at first glance are of very good quality. In fact, these songs can almost be regarded as the hit songs of some ordinary singers.

For example, "Bounce" and "You Say", the quality of these two songs in this album is average. At first glance, it seems that they were included to make up for the number.

However, the quality of these songs can be considered average album staples, and if they are popular, they can even hit the Billboard charts.

And now, these songs are all on one record.

"Farke, Will, you really gave me a problem!"

After listening to it again without believing it, Romani immediately lay on her seat and smiled bitterly.

She has absolutely no idea how to go dark.

It’s not that I don’t know how to be black.

If she wants to be dark, she can still find the dark spots.

For example, the overall style of the album's songs is too biased toward love, love, love, and love. This is a dark point.

However, Romani really didn't want to do this.

In Romani's opinion, this album will definitely be a masterpiece, an album that is enough to cause a sensation in the European and American music circles.

To be honest, if she wanted to de-list such an album, her conscience would be uneasy.

She was afraid, she was afraid of being nailed to the rack of shame.

When the time came around eight o'clock, all the company's employees came to work.

Many people will take the initiative to say hello to Romani after seeing her.

She is the company's gold medal editor. Not only does she write good articles, but also because of her professional music knowledge, her articles are very popular among the audience.

Well, to put it bluntly, she has the title of a gold medal music critic.

With this title, she has a high status in the company.

After greeting her colleagues absentmindedly, Romani installed the tape and sat quietly in her seat waiting for the arrival of her boss Will.

She decided not to write this article.

Whoever wants to write should write it.

The worst case scenario is that I will quit my job. Anyway, the Big Apple Music Magazine recently contacted me and wanted me to become a professional musician.

Maybe I was more comfortable in the past.

after an hour!

"Fake! Get out, get out of here..."

With a roar coming from the boss's office, Romani walked out expressionlessly, returned to her seat and started packing her things.

clap clap clap!
Romani clapped her hands, and when everyone's attention was focused, she said:
"Guys! I'm resigning, and Rick will take over my position from now on. Finally, I wish you a happy life!"

After saying that, Romani started packing her things.

During this period, several employees who had a good relationship with her came around to ask what was going on, but they were scolded by the boss Will who walked out of the office.

"Mannie, you are such an ungrateful bastard! You forgot that you only had three dollars with you, and I took you in!"

Boss Will didn't know whether he wanted Romani to stay or simply wanted to be sarcastic. He came to Romani and said coldly.

"No! It was me who made you successful! If it weren't for me, you would have gone bankrupt!"

Romani sneered.

After putting away her things, Romani put them on the table, hesitated, and said to Will:
"Will, I have always hated the way our newspaper is run, both before and even more so now.

As a singer, I would like to remind you that if you keep being a gunman for others, something will happen sooner or later.

Especially when we get involved in the battles among big capital groups! "

After a pause, she continued: "Also, I suggest that you don't accept the Jamie issue. The quality of this record is beyond your imagination. I'm worried that after Warner Records is freed, you..."

She didn't continue what she said because she saw the disapproval on Will's face. .

She shook her head, said no more, took her things and left the newspaper office.

After leaving the newspaper office and standing at the door, Romani's eyes rested on the poster of Chen Qiming not far away.

Warner Records' promotion of Chen Qiming is very large, and Chen Qiming's posters can be seen everywhere on the streets.

[Asian superstar Chen Qiming's new album "Eternity" meets you]

"Another rising star!"

Looking at the poster, Romani looked envious.

After listening to Chen Qiming's record, she was full of envy for this singer from the East.

Because she knows that with this album, this person will definitely be able to break into a world in the European and American music circles.

This record is such a classic.

It was so classic that it made her jealous.
