Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 28 Change of appearance
  Over the weekend, major music stations in New York simultaneously received a brand new single CD. The cover is still Raymond. Republic Records seems to have no intention of covering up Raymond. Except that the color has completely changed, turning into a deep blue with a yellow title. Raymond himself is also covered in a pink halo, which is the same as the first single. There is no difference in the music.

Compared with the cover of the previous single, this one is still eye-catching, but the difference is that the name on the cover is not Beast Nova, but a new one.

Yes, the name of the song "Eight Hours Later" was changed to "Makeover," and a handwritten card was handed to the DJs at the same time.

At the same time that radio stations received the new single, major video stores in New York also received CDs of Ramone's new song "Change."

Divar is one of the shopkeepers. He has a dark complexion and is one-third of Indian descent. He has curly hair. He looks shrewd and stingy. He habitually waves his hands to express his emotions when he speaks.

After getting the sample plate sent by Republic Records, he didn't care much and put it aside, and didn't pick it up again until he was done eating.

"Change? Why is this cover the same as the previous beast? Damn it, it can't be the same person! Do you think changing the color will make people forget the previous noise?"

After complaining, he directly inserted it into the DVD and played it. The music soon started, and the picture also appeared on the TV.

It's just that it's different from the messy streets in previous hip-hop MVs, or a bunch of good brothers standing in front of the car rapping, this time what appeared in front of Divar was a closed blue door, and as the prelude progressed, that door The door was getting closer and closer, as if there was something inside waiting to be revealed.

Duval was a little surprised. The entire MV showed a very unique tone and temperament from the beginning. The combination of blue and yellow was so intense that it caught his eye immediately.

"Okay, it looks like there are still two brushes." Duval had to admit that the color of the MV was indeed stunning, but if it was the only way, it would not make people take out the money.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a suspenseful murder.

Raymond was murdered with a plastic bag, and when the killer took off his hood, it turned out to be Raymond himself!
  He is bathed in blue, holding a pink cross and destroying everything, as if he is destroying his former self.

Although I can't quite understand it, I don't know how powerful it is.

To be honest, the music is not catchy enough, but it is much better than the previous roaring rap song, and it is inexplicably brainwashing. The constantly looping lyrics are paired with the faint blue, and even Divar can't help but shake his head and hum along. A few words.

"I feel like I've learned. Is this really the beast Raymond? Why does it feel like a different person, but it doesn't matter, as long as it sounds good!"

After watching the entire MV, he sang a few more lines, then picked up the phone and called the contact person at Republic Records: "Jack, I want 800 copies of 'Makeover'!"

"What? Not enough stock? How is that possible?"

"Only three hundred copies left? Shit, when are you going to replenish the stock? I'm sure it will sell out!"

And there were many store owners like him who wanted to restock. Even Giorgio himself didn't expect that the 15,000 CDs he had prepared would be snatched up by various video stores before they even started promoting it.

At the same time, Tang De and Raymond were sitting in the car, listening to DJ Lao Ai's radio station.

"Lao Ai, I heard that you have been playing a song on loop recently?" The host did not directly introduce the song title as usual, but instead asked a question first.

"That's right, you won't guess who it is, SHXT, I'm actually listening to his songs! I'm even addicted!"

"Tell me quickly, I believe everyone is also curious."

"It's Ramon, Ramon the Beast, the terrifying contestant who turned the streets of New York upside down when he opened his mouth!"

"FXXK!" Raymond slapped the steering wheel angrily, like a gorilla that escaped from the zoo: "When did I overturn the street?"

Davis, who was sitting behind him, curled his lips and said, "Not only are they turning the streets upside down, there are also many people looking for someone to pay for the car accident!"

Raymond turned around and glared, and Davis immediately shut his mouth, while Damai and Xiaobei grinned and laughed mercilessly. Only Tang De continued to listen to the conversation on the radio unaffected.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute! Don't leave in a hurry." Lao Ai grabbed the host who wanted to escape with an anxious tone and explained: "Let me state in advance that this is not a promotion. I did not take any money from them. Lei I scolded Meng the most for that shitty song, so listeners in front of the radio station don’t leave, just listen to what I have to say.”

"Okay, okay, I admit that I am a little scared. After all, you know, I don't want to be threatened with bullets again." After the host said in a cowardly tone, there was an electronic laugh immediately.

"When I received the album the day before yesterday, I originally wanted to throw it into the trash can, but you know what? This beast Ramon actually wrote a letter in his own hand. Damn it, when did hip-hop singers become so cultured?"

"What did he write?"

"He wrote a very short song, let me read it to you." Lao Ai took out the card and said into the microphone: "First of all, this is my last song. Secondly, I want to tell everyone that black people are not just gangs and Show off your wealth, I'm a kid from the streets, everything about me comes from my family and my neighborhood, it's like my dad.

"Although I fight, steal, often make my mother sad, and the songs I sing are not in line with market trends, I really like music and have changed. I don't ask for your understanding, but I hope you can give me a chance. I want to use this song to prove that I have not forgotten the streets where I was raised, and that I have changed my appearance.”

After reading it, Lao Ai said with emotion: "As he said, I am also a street kid, so I understand this kid."

"It does sound sincere..."

"Did you really write a letter?" Damai looked in disbelief.

"Nonsense!" Raymond exhaled from his nose: "But most of it was Tang De's idea."

"That's it." Xiaobei suddenly realized, and then listened to Lao Ai on the radio and continued to praise: "Yeah, then I listened to the song, and guess what? It sounded so good! Whether it was the filming of the MV or the rhythm of the song, it was very awesome. Shit, I’ve already climaxed, do you understand!”

"It's obviously the same person, how could he sing two songs with completely different feelings? Really, that's awesome!"

The host obviously didn't believe it: "Really? Are you sure you didn't lie to me?"

"Of course!" Lao Ai raised his voice.

"Then let's listen to it? If the first lyric doesn't sound good, I'll cut it."

"Don't worry, you will feel the absolute contrast. This time, Beast Ramon becomes Lyrical Ramon, a new look!"

After saying that, the music started immediately, and everyone listening to the radio immediately felt the difference from before from the slow and gentle rhythm.

Several people in the car also fell silent to the song.

Only Tang De smiled while listening to the music, and the effect was very good.

The essence of this rhetoric can be explained in two words, and it is a disgrace.

But those audiences will surely forgive Raymond. After all, this is America's favorite drama, isn't it? The bad boy redeems himself, what an inspiring plot.

This is the inspiration that Tang De drew from various Weibo compositions in later generations, channeling professionalism into emotional output, and using some seemingly correct words to cover up Raymond's mistakes.

Moreover, Robert Downey Jr.'s self-salvation is the most politically correct thing nowadays. After so many years of film baptism, everyone can relate to it.

Even if you don’t catch a cold, as long as you give Raymond a chance to listen, it’s enough!
