China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 152 Don't Be Too CNN
Just as Boss Lu was traveling across the ocean, something happened to America on the other side of the ocean.

San Francisco time, April 4th.

The Olympic flame was relayed in San Francisco, and CNN reported the incident live. The news host made extremely bad remarks on the show that day.

In the show, Cafferty started with the trade deficit between China and the United States to create confrontation and discrimination.

Similar remarks quickly aroused dissatisfaction among overseas Chinese.

At first, Lu Yuan didn't know about this. Although he had memories of the future, he couldn't write down everything in detail.

He didn't know what was happening in San Francisco until some overseas Chinese left messages under his blog.

CNN, repeat offender.

After reading the message posted on the blog, Lu Yuan did not reply immediately, but dialed Max's number.

beep!
beep!
After the call was connected, Lu Yuan made his request bluntly without exchanging pleasantries.

"Max, I need a recording studio."

"Oh?"

Max immediately cheered up after hearing this and said with great interest: "Lu, have you got inspiration again? Is it rock, R&B, or electronic music?"

"No, neither."

Lu Yuan replied calmly: "This is a rap, a rap between DISS [CNN] and Cafferty."

"Huh?" Max said with a confused look on his face: "Lu, why did they offend you?"

"Max, you should read yesterday's news."

"OK, OK, I'll go check it out later."

Max smiled and said: "However, I think I should arrange a recording studio for you first. Please give me a minute."

(1 minutes later)
"OK, done."

"Someone will contact your assistant later."

After a while, Lu Yuan's assistant manager George reported the latest situation to him.

Recording studio, arranged.

The top recording studio owned by PolyGram is always available. If Lu Yuan needs a band to score music, even if he needs the top team, it is only a phone call away.

"George, help me change my schedule. For the next week, I must reserve at least 4 hours of recording time every day."

"OK, you are the boss, you have the final say in everything."

Afterwards, Lu Yuan continued his previous announcement, except that every night, he would go to the recording studio in East London.

For people like CNN and Cafferty, it is useless to publish a blog post that is indifferent.

Instead of wasting time on keyboards, it would be better to write a song that publicly disses Cafferty and makes him notorious.

Lu Yuan is planning to adapt a rap song against discrimination based on Eminem's "Not Afraid".

CNN is indeed one of the largest media groups in America, but CNN is not the only one.

DISS is DISS.

What can it do?

At most, there is another black media.

There is only one more CNN in mainland China, but not much.

Two days later.

The lyrics of the new version of "Not Afraid" have been basically adapted. The reason why it is so fast is not because Lu Yuan is a fast shooter.

But because the lyrics of rap songs are one of the accessories.

How arbitrary can the lyrics of a rap song be?
Sometimes it doesn't matter whether it rhymes or not. The emotion and rhythm are more important.

Secondly, the speed is fast because Lu Yuan did not touch the main part of the song, and the arrangement did not change much. Except for the RAP part, there were very few changes in other places.

After the arrangement was finished, Lu Yuan said hello to the recording studio and mixing staff, then got into the recording room and started recording the verse part of the song.

"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid!
I'm fearless, fearless
To take a stand,

Take a stand bravely,

to take a stand
Take a stand bravely,

Everybody,

everyone
come take my hand
Come hold my hand..."

After a verse ends, it immediately enters the RAP, which is the DISS part.

Diss Cafferty was exposed first, then CNN, and after that, he called on everyone to unite.

No matter you are black, white, yellow, brown, or red, although everyone has different skin colors, their blood is the same.

Love has no boundaries, and the world should not discriminate...

A great man once said that you should have many friends and few enemies.

Lu Yuan alone, and the Chinese in the United States alone, want to force CNN to admit its mistakes. Not only is it unrealistic, but it is more difficult.

If you involve old black friends and other ethnic minorities, the momentum will be huge, and CNN will not be able to apologize.

Doing this will certainly make CNN hate Lu Yuan.

But Lu Yuan didn't care at all.

His base has always been in China, and CNN’s hand cannot reach that far.

Then again, even if CNN has the ability to block him nationwide.

so what?

Mr. Lu never makes money on his knees!

What he wants is to stand and earn the money!

In the blink of an eye, the Billboard list was updated again, and "Counting Stars" continued to be ranked No. 2.

The No. 1 is still Sister Niu. As the mother of the bulletin board, Sister Niu easily won two consecutive championships.

Madonna's new song "4 Minutes" ranked third.

"Hall Of Fame" and "Natural" are still the same, ranking seventh and No. 13 respectively.

The rising momentum of "unstoppable" is still strong, soaring ten places to No. 20 and seven.

The singles chart was uneventful and could not arouse Mr. Lu's interest.

Ranked second for six weeks in a row.

What else could you be interested in?
What really matters to him is the album chart.

Even if they want to suppress the sales volume and real money data, Billboard doesn’t have the guts or the ability.

Last week, Lu Yuan's solo album sold a total of 14 copies, ranking second on the album chart after America's country king George Strait.

Second again.

Seeing the familiar numbers, Lu Yuan was really suffering from PTSD.

Strictly speaking, the sales volume of 14+ does not match the quality of this album.

Every song in this album was carefully selected by Lu Yuan for both quality and intention. As a result, only 20 copies were sold in two weeks.

The data is extremely poor!

Boss Lu is very dissatisfied.

However, the music critics spoke highly of this album, and at the same time, there are many similar reviews on America's Internet.

Therefore, despite being dissatisfied, Lu Yuan himself is still very confident in this album.

Taylor is a good example. An album released more than a year ago is still on the album sales chart.

Even though the sales volume is only a few tens of thousands per week now, the cumulative sales will be hundreds of thousands a month, or 200 million a year.

After reading the bulletin board, Lu Yuan opened the UK singles chart again.

hum!
hum!
Just when Lu Yuan was about to browse the data, the mobile phone on the table suddenly rang.

Look down.

It's actually Yuan Tao?
It's just that it's nine o'clock in the evening London time, and it should be four o'clock in the morning in China, right?
After being slightly surprised, Lu Yuan answered the phone.

"Xiaoyuan, where are you now?"

"Is it outside or in the hotel?"

As soon as the call was connected, Yuan Tao asked hurriedly.

"Isn't it convenient for you to access the Internet?"
