Chapter 191 Surround Sound

"Everybody's been spying on us, everybody."

One afternoon in early September, Song Ya put her arms around Fergie and leaned lazily in the corner of the stands beside the stadium, cheering for Tony's football team debut.

The two deliberately chose seats away from the crowd, but the eyes of all the students present drifted here unconsciously, even the players who were warming up.

"This is the trouble of the stars." Song Ya signed the names of the students who mustered up the courage to ask for their autographs. Seeing that more people were about to move, she quickly gave the old Mike who was wearing sunglasses behind him a wink.

"Sorry, that's all for now, kids." Old Mike blocked the crowd for him, "Go back and sit down!"

"I don't understand why we should stay in this middle-class school. We can transfer to a better middle school." Fergie said, chewing gum.

"Ha!" Song Ya laughed shortly, "You look down on the middle class so soon? Your song hasn't been released yet, so are you sure you can become a singer?"

"Of course, the single you wrote." Fergie leaned into his arms flatteringly, "It will be very popular, I can feel it."

"Then you have to pay more attention when recording." Song Ya stroked her blond hair, lowered her head and held her red lips, and the two kissed passionately like no one else.

After breaking up with Mira, Song Ya completely let go of herself, and Fergie also had a passionate and bold personality.

Old Mike shook his head, sat back behind them, took out a newspaper from his pocket, and turned over the time.

"Huh? What are you listening to?" Following the actions of the two, the earphones hanging on Fergie's ears fell off, and the sound of music came out.

"The promise of a ne da." Fergie replied, and she put an earphone into Song Ya's ear.

"Paula Abdu's song?" Song Ya didn't care about it at first, but it sounded a bit wrong. The music in the earphones seemed to be more advanced than the same period in this era, with stronger penetrating power, and the effect of three-dimensional surround was especially Excellent, "How is this sound quality made?" He feels that this sound quality is closer to those apocalyptic songs he got, and this technology is undoubtedly closer to the future.

And foreshadowing the future is an opportunity to make money!

Fergie shook her head, "This song is currently at No. 2 on the Billboard Singles Chart."

Song Ya picked up the phone,

Called Hayden, "Help me find out what audio technology Paula Abdul's new single on the chart uses."

"Hey, my good brother..." Tony, who was on the phone with Hayden, panted and ran closer after practice, "Are you watching me play?" He was very excited to return to the football field. In a middle-class middle school with no rugby tradition, he was able to be the main force by relying on his physique. "It always seems that you are busy and busy."

"The world is constantly advancing Tony, and I will fall behind the times if I am not careful." Song Ya replied, packed up with Fergie, and left with Tony and Old Mike.

"Is it called d surround sound technology? Which companies are leading the technology in this field now? Okay, I'll wait for your call."

The next day, "On behalf of NARAS (National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences), I would like to present APS with the membership of the association in recognition of his dedication to a series of outstanding musical works for the public, as well as his outstanding achievements in recording engineering..."

Song Ya almost forgot that the Naras membership was finally done. The self-proclaimed high-class Ms. Shirley Fleming gave a lot of help. Becoming a member of this company is equivalent to having a Grammy award. Voting qualifications, although he is only one of more than 10,000 members, his seventeen-year-old age is still amazing.

As usual, a small ceremony was held in the school auditorium. Song Ya took the documents from the people from the college, and then walked to the podium to express a big thank you.

"Congratulations." After the ceremony, Hayden stepped forward and smiled.

"Did you find out what I asked you to check?" Song Ya didn't care about this kind of ceremony now, he cared more about business.

"Now there are many such companies. Apart from the top multinational companies, Dolby Laboratories, dts, innovative technology, e-u, etc. have mastered relevant patents." Hayden reported a lot of company names, "But none of them are listed. But the market is going up fast..."

"This is an opportunity, right? When I heard Paula Abdul's song, I felt that this is the direction of the future...Which company's technology did she use?"

"e-u."

"Okay, let's go back and have a meeting."

Hurrying back to A+ Records, he gathered technicians such as Delay, Andrew and Henry to study the new technology.

After getting unanimous approval, he immediately arranged for DeLay to test investment possibilities with various companies.

"Dolby Laboratories and e-u have no intention of accepting investors. DTS is still a small garage company. The two founders have developed a few related patents. Innovation Technology is a Singapore company with a Chinese boss. They use it on p The Sound Blaster has been selling well recently, but they already have plans to go public on NASDAQ." After contacting all parties, De Lay came back to report, "So only two companies, DTS and Innovation Technology, are likely to accept new investment. By."

"Leave the Chinese to me, you go to contact dts!" Song Ya made a decision and contacted the two Chinese bosses of the innovative technology company in person.

I used a few words in Chinese to get close, but soon found that the other party is going public soon, and it is impossible to accept new investors. Instead, I chatted about Song Ya earning a sum of money for herself, and the other party intends to find someone to endorse their sound card. When it comes to rising stars in the music industry, aps with Chinese descent is right.

"Mr. Hu, endorsement is no problem, how about I ask my agent to talk to you?" Song Ya happily chatted on the phone, "I can charge you a friendly price, you must notify me before you go public, I will go to the public market Support? Haha, ok, that's it, goodbye."

There is good news from DeLay, dts is worried about funding, but the two founders are holding on to the patent and refuse to let go, only willing to accept venture capital.

"Venture investment is venture capital, let's do it!" Song Ya said excitedly into the microphone: "As long as I have a patent related to d surround sound, I am willing to enter the venue, and I will also add this technology to the recording of my future singles!"

"Okay, no problem." DeLay quickly negotiated with the other side. A+ Audio Company will provide an angel investment of 250,000 dollars, as well as a series of early-stage operation assistance for dts company, in exchange for 100,000 dollars. 20% of the shares of dts company.

It's over there, Hayden also negotiated an endorsement contract with the people from the US branch of the innovative technology company, $750,000, in addition to a TV commercial, Song Ya's personal image will also appear on the packaging box of their company's sound card products superior.

He was very busy here, but Paula Abdul, who provided the 'inspiration', had an accident. One of her backup singers sued her in the UK. The backing singer claimed that he was the actual singer of a single in Paula Abdul's new album, not Paula Abdul himself.

The substitute singing incident fermented rapidly, even as a diva in the limelight, it would be very difficult to get through this kind of scandal.

"Do you think it's possible? Substitute singer, isn't that ridiculous?" Song Ya asked Hayden.

"Because of the style, Paula Abdul has to sing and dance vigorously when performing live, so she often turns on the mic halfway or plays the accompaniment to her mouth, but it's okay, everyone knows that it's impossible to dance so intensely. Keep your voice steady and be tolerant of this kind of dance artist."

Hayden replied: "But singing on behalf of me? This accusation is much worse than lip-syncing on the spot. I used someone else's voice to replace my own during the music recording. Not long ago, the illi vanilli group was exposed to find someone to sing on my behalf, and it was immediately retracted." Lemmy, the members of the group couldn't get along right away."

"Maybe someone is going to frame her? Inspired by the illi vanilli singing incident?" Yeremov questioned.

Hayden shrugged, "Then I have no way of knowing, but what I know is that there will be another bloodbath in the music industry..."
