Surviving in the music industry requires luck and patience, but most of all it requires a full knowledge of how a record company fun

26、ctions. The signing of a recording contract合同 is a slow process.

35、 shake hands, when to start conversations, or how to approach a stranger. The idea of “culture shock helps explain feelings of being puzzled.
