Knock knock
Selena knocked a little nervously on the door.
"Co in." A woman's voice ca from inside the room.
Opening the door slowly, Selena looked at the woman sitting behind a pile of papers, typing on her computer.
Looking at the door, the woman saw that Selena was acting a little anxious and was confused.
"What happened? I don't think I've ever seen you like this before, Selena..." The woman asked.
Realizing the mistake she had made, Selena tried to straighten up and return to the passive expression she usually wore. "It's nothing, Aunt gan, I just wanted to show you the video clip my artist made for the song he's releasing today."
This surprised gan because Selena was usually quite reserved and only shared important things in her weekly reports.
So it was surprising to see Selena co over and show her the video clip her artist had made.
She had heard one of his songs on Spokify and approved of its quality, seeing the potential that Selena had also seen in signing him, but she hadn't imagined that Selena would co to show her his next video clip in person.
So her expectations were a bit high.
"All right, do you have the video on your phone?" gan asked.
"Yes." Selena nodded as she opened the video Noah had sent her and showed it to her aunt. "Here it is."
As she picked up her phone, gan tried to imagine what this music video that Selena's artist was going to make would be like.
For soone who was just starting out, the most normal thing would be to use his cell phone to record himself alone in his room without any worries, right? Especially since he apparently recorded it alone. So what made Selena co over and show it to her? Maybe the music was really good?
Clicking the play button on her phone, gan tried to see what this boy looked like, since she only knew roughly what he looked like from Selena's description, since the boy had no photos on social dia.
But to her surprise, instead of seeing the boy's cara, what gan saw was much more surprising!
In the center of the picture was a drawing of a boy with bleached hair wearing a large black shirt, surrounded by five other boys in similar clothing and wearing animal masks.
If it weren't for the more mature art style and the rock look of the boy in the middle, gan might have thought it was a children's video.
🎼🎶🎤
Today, I don't feel like doing anything...
I just wanna lay in my bed...
Don't feel like picking up my phone...
So leave a ssage at the tone...
'Cause today, I swear I'm not doing anything...
🎼🎶🎤
Seeing the heads of those characters bobbing while the whistling sound of the music ca on made a small smile appear on gan's face.
🎼🎶🎤
Uh, I'm gonna kick my feet up then stare at the fan...
Turn the TV on, throw my hand in my pants...
Nobody's gon' tell , I can't, nah...
🎼🎶🎤
When she saw the five animal-headed characters dancing from side to side with their hands down their pants, she looked at Selena with a smile, surprised that her niece was managing such an artist.
With each new verse of the song, gan could see the song's potential to go viral, until she finally realized that this song had already gone viral a bit.
It hadn't gone viral, it had just beco a little famous in a small niche, but as soone who works in the industry, she had heard this song and thought it was cool the first ti she heard it.
"That's his song?" gan asked in surprise.
"Yeah, he wrote and sang that song. He had a problem with a strear pretending to be the original singer, so I contacted the company's legal departnt on Monday." Selena explained, causing gan to nod.
"With lyrics like that, you can see the kid has a future. But how did he pay an artist to make that music video? I don't rember approving any funding for it..." gan asked confused. With her experience, she knew that making a video like this, even for a novice artist, would still cost a few thousand dollars.
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about. He also did the clip himself, both the drawings and the animation..." Selena explained. "So I'd like to know if it's possible to take the money that would be invested in the production of the music video to invest in the equipnt for it, since that money would be spent anyway..."
Hearing Selena ask for money, gan was surprised. "So that's why you ca to show the song in person!"
Seeing that gan understood her intention, Selena was very embarrassed, but didn't deny it.
"Selena, that's not how corporate accounting works. Just because we don't spend in one place doesn't an we have to spend sowhere else..." gan explained.
"But he did it all by himself... and you saw, the quality was so good..." Selena tried to argue.
"Sigh..." gan sighed. "It's okay, girl, but only because this is your first artist and this is the first ti you've asked . But in situations like this, let know first and we'll decide before we do it next ti, okay?"
"All right, thanks Aunt gan!" Selena smiled as she ran to hug gan.
Looking down at my phone, I was surprised to see the ssage Selena had sent .
[I got a $5,000 loan, so send the things you want to buy and your address and I'll buy them for you. That way it's easier to keep the bills to report to the company].
When I saw that, I was surprised. This was already more than the $4,000 she said she would get, which was great!
I had made a list of the equipnt I needed to buy for the studio, so I just sent it to Selena and told her to pick what she thought was most important.
At this point, I was in the process of realizing an idea I had to increase the hype for Lazy Song, a song my followers had already heard, as well as trying to generate hype for the next song I was going to sing.
I had already posted on all the social networks and now the last step was missing.
Since I had ti on my hands, my idea was to do an Instabram stream for my followers, either reacting to the Lazy Song or singing a snippet of the next song as a teaser.
My Instabram already had 4,000 followers, and with how engaged those people were, I think I could get at least 800 people to watch the stream.
So when it was 30 minutes before "The Lazy Song" went live, I warned my family that I would need so privacy for an hour or two and set up the lights in my room.
I made the room very dark with the computer screen with a blue light to brighten it up a bit.
To make sure my face didn't show, I pointed the cara straight ahead, but for extra security I put on a cap that covered most of my face.
My idea was to just point the cara at the computer monitor.
"Okay, everything ready, just press the button to start the stream." I said as I took a deep breath and started.
