Rebirth in America

In the 1950s, rock music was booming, and it was Carpenter Records that led this development. As a new company in the record market, it owns the Carpenter Brothers, Little Richard, Elvis, Chuck, Bill Haley and many other rock stars.

One or two of these people are enough to support the record market of a large company. Carpenter Records can suddenly have so many hot stars, which makes other record companies extremely enthusiastic.

Record companies such as BMG, EMI, CBS, and RCA have tried to poach Carpenter Records more than once, but every time they failed. Alex knows the importance of talents, and he is always willing to give monetary rewards to his own people. More importantly, he attaches great importance to these talented people and gives them a lot of room for autonomy.

For major record companies, market data is everything, and any behavior that reduces market share must be avoided. But real artists don't think so much. Most of them are emotional animals and rarely create works for the sake of data. The strange thing is that most people like singers with personality. Losing your own style, or constantly repeating yourself, will push your artistic career to the road of death.

Yes, Carpenter Records gives talented stars their own space, which causes their record sales to be unstable, high and low, like a roller coaster. However, this often stimulates their creative desire and slowly forms their own style in the process.

In Carpenter Company, the Carpenter brothers should be the most stable record sellers. The band with Alex and Richard is much better than the rest of the company in terms of appeal, quantity and quality of creations. Now the Carpenter brothers may have to change their names, because this team has one more member, and that is their little sister Karen Carpenter.

Karen, who is over 7 years old this year, has long been a mature singer. Like her two brothers, she has received professional music training since she was a child. Karen's musical talent is obviously better than Richard's. As for whether he is better than Alex, it's hard to say.

Karen's IQ is also very high. Although he has not been specifically tested, on the surface, it seems that he is no worse than Richard.

She also performed on stage at the age of three or four, and like her brother, she amazed people with her first performance. Since there were already examples of the Carpenters, people quickly adapted to Cullen's cleverness and precocity.

It wasn't long before Karen joined the ranks of professional singers, and she was recording by the time she was about four years old. This was much earlier than Alex. After all, this kind of thing depends on opportunity. It is much easier to have your own record company.

Alex also specially wrote a lot of children's songs for Karen. He had already written these songs long ago and originally planned to sing them to himself, but he never had the chance. It's pretty good to give Karen now. At least in terms of singing voice, Karen is much better than Alex who doesn't use his abilities.

As for writing songs for Richard, Alex also wrote them several times. Unfortunately, Richard didn't really want to sing these songs. Unless Alex comes up with a song that suits Richard's interests, Richard will reject it in most cases.

I don’t know if it was influenced by Alex, but the songs Richard wrote were not mainly country music, but more rock music. Occasionally there's a few country songs, but not a lot.

In Alex's memory, Richard should have hated rock music, but he never expected that he would become a pioneer of rock music.

During this period, among the rock stars, the Carpenter brothers were the pioneers of rock music and they continue to lead the development direction of rock music.

Bill Haley followed in the footsteps of the Carpenter brothers and continued to expand the scope of rock music's influence. In a way, Bill made up for the Carpenters' inability to tour. Many people learned about the Carpenter Brothers through Bill's music, which indirectly increased the user base of the Carpenter Brothers' records.

As for Elvis, he proved how sexy this type of music could be and became a spiritual mentor for the youth of this era. Similarly, he suffered a lot of attacks. Those parents believed that Elvis was just a coy young man who howled wildly.

Music and art, they didn't find it in Elvis. Due to the opposition of their parents, those young people became interested in Elvis. This is the case for young people in adolescence. The more forbidden things are, the more they want to get them. This actually allowed Elvis Presley to gain a lot of young fans. Such fans are fanatical and unreasonable.

Chuck Berry, another rock star from Carpenter Records, is more clever. His music combines the advantages of rock music and blues music, making people clearly feel the deep origin of the two kinds of music. Chuck's songs may not be as enthusiastically loved by young people as Elvis Presley's, but they don't resist either. Among adults, there are also a large number of people who like this kind of rock music developed from blues music.

In other words, Chuck's music records can please both sides, and sales have been stable.

As for Little Richard, he expressed the charm of rock music by playing the piano, which opened people's eyes. After listening to his records, many people were surprised and exclaimed: "It turns out that the piano can be played like this!"

Carpenter Records, with so many rock talents, has squeezed other companies out of market share. Anyone who knows the industry knows that Carpenter Records is sure to have a place in the recording industry like other major record companies.

On this day, Alex had just returned from the Rocketry Research Institute of Interstellar Technology Company. He planned to take some time to record a record and check out Carpenter Records. After all, this company was where the Carpenter family started. If he hadn't insisted on swallowing up this record company, they might still be working for people to produce records now.

Carpenter Records has moved to another location, and the original building is no longer large enough to accommodate so many employees.

At Alex's insistence, the company's headquarters moved to the suburbs of New York. I bought a large piece of land here and built a whole complex of buildings. To facilitate employees' lives, dormitories, supermarkets, hospitals, schools, etc. were built.

The distance is a bit far and you need to drive there. Under the escort of bodyguards, Alex, who was sitting in the car, accidentally looked in the rearview mirror and noticed something strange.

"Hey! Did you notice the car behind you?"

At Alex's prompting, several bodyguards in the car also noticed the weirdness of the car. This car looked no different from other cars. The only thing suspicious was that it was following them at a very close distance.

If you were in a big city like New York, you might not notice it. After all, on the road, it is not surprising to see other vehicles traveling the same way. But in a suburb like this, if he keeps following you, you have to be suspicious.

"Don't worry, Boss. We'll have people from Group B and Group C test it out right away to see if they're following us."

One of the bodyguards picked up the walkie-talkie and asked the other two cars to block each other's path and see who was in the car.

Now Alex always brings several groups of bodyguards with him when traveling, a group of three people. Under normal circumstances, he always keeps 9 bodyguards by his side. These bodyguards were dressed like ordinary people, which was what Alex requested. When protecting, he also pretended to be an unrelated person and blended in with the ordinary people. Only when an unexpected situation occurs, will they show up for protection.

After becoming famous, there were all kinds of troubles, and he didn't want to encounter the kind of things in McCann's Tavern again. Without the protection of his bodyguards, he would now be surrounded by crowds whenever he appeared in public.

Alex used to hate having bodyguards following him around, but he felt that this time it would restrict his freedom of movement. After becoming famous, he discovered that having bodyguards could ensure his privacy and freedom. There are crazy fans in all ages. Without someone to protect him, he would have been unable to move forward.

"BOSS! They said they were people sent by the FBI to protect you. We checked and the documents they produced are authentic."

Soon, the other end of the intercom relayed this information. Hearing the word FBI, Alex couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart.

The so-called FBI is the abbreviation of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which is affiliated with the United States Department of Justice. The FBI's mission is to investigate federal criminal violations and take action to support the law. To protect the United States, intelligence activities and terrorist activities originating from foreign countries can be investigated.

None of this worries Alex; he worries about the people in charge of the FBI. As the first director of the FBI, Edgar Hoover served from the moment he took office until his death, serving for almost half a century. UU Reading www.uukanshu． net His fame far exceeds that of a movie star, and his power eludes even the president.

When someone wrote a biography of him, he wrote: "Hoover knew how to keep secrets, which was the real reason for his success. Not only did he know these secrets, but no one knew which secrets he knew."

When Alex learned that the person following him recently was the FBI, he immediately thought of his biggest secret. He never told anyone about it, and he never wrote it down on any piece of paper.

But he was still worried because he was acting so much like Tesla. And Tester behaved too much like a time traveler. Who knows if he leaked this secret during his lifetime. You know, after Tesla's death, the FBI swept away all the documents and did not declassify them for almost a century.

Alex suppressed the doubts in his heart and ordered: "Let them get away and stop following me."

"But BOSS, they claim to have received information that someone is going to harm you."

The bodyguard immediately told the story of the FBI. It was nothing more than that the FBI had monitored information from unknown sources and claimed that it was preparing to deal with Alex, a young billionaire. Reasons like this are simply unbelievable to Alex.

"No need to say any more, let them go back, I don't need their protection."

How could Alex dare to let the FBI follow him because he had a ghost in his heart? He had been thinking about whether he should hide for a period of time. It would be best to hide in a secret base like Hughes did. Being a hermit is better than being caught in a research institute, at least you won't be subjected to inhuman torture.
