Chicago 1990

Song Ya was not confused by Daniel's praise this time. He calmly considered Daniel's bottom line, and finally decided to get on Daniel's boat again.

The entertainment industry in this era still retains many old rules. Just like a singer has an agent, the record company also has a mechanism for connecting with the signed singer. Whoever is under the banner of the singer can release from the singer. Part of the revenue from the record, of course, the gameplay of different companies are slightly different, but generally the same.Daniel set the bottom line very clearly. Mila's mother must transfer Mila to his banner. As SBK's partner, the old Qiao Music group is not subject to this rule, but since it was Daniel's contribution. If they cooperate with each other, they should also tacitly support Daniel.

Old Joe is very easy to handle. There is no big problem with Tony between Lori and Pablo. When there is no conflict of interest, it is very effective to talk more about "family and brotherhood" among blacks.

All that remains is to fight for Mira’s mother. If she can’t entice her to turn back, the song FXXXYOU can only miss Mira...

After all, the most important red line hanging on Song Ya's head is the time point given by Michelle. Seizing the time to release the single is the first priority.

He and Hayden stay in New York to fix the copyright (the content of copyright will not be repeated in the future), and use the limited legal and accounting assistance provided by BMI to members, and signed a contract with SBK for single production. SBK employees formally become the producer of FXXXYOU's single, and at the same time enjoys about 3% of the revenue of this part, plus 6% of lyrics and music, for a total of 15%.

It took about a week to finish all these things, and Song Ya changed his outfit and officially started work.

Hayden was already waiting in SBK's recording studio, and when he met him, he gave him a flattery, "You dressed very hard today. Have you finally bid farewell to second-hand goods?"

"Really? Thank you. This is New York. I don't want to be laughed at."

Song Ya touched the brown-yellow denim leather jacket. The front of the jacket and the position from the elbows to the cuffs also had nasty tassels. Inside he was equipped with a black T-shirt with the Japanese characters'' painted on the chest. (No mainland fonts are sold), the bottom half is ordinary blue jeans and classic Converse canvas shoes, the whole set is actually only a hundred dollars.This kind of match was learned from the original MV of the second-hand store in his mind. Since the apocalypse is from the future, and the future must be fashionable, it is definitely correct to wear it.

Hayden let him into the recording studio. This recording studio is not much larger than that of Old Joe Music, and the layout is exactly the same, but the equipment is much more advanced. It is definitely enough to be responsible for the current audition work of the main singer.

"Come on, let me introduce, this is Lisa."

Standing in the control room is a young white woman with a middle-up appearance and wearing a standard white-collar female suit. She holds a thick file in her hand and can only nod and smile, "Hi, APLUS, this is Lisa. During the production of the single, he will be responsible for all the paperwork and coordination."

"This is Isco..."

Sitting in front of the mixing console was a young white male rock fan. He flicked his long hair and looked back at Song Ya. Then he propped his feet on the ground and let the roller office chair slide for a certain distance before he came to Song Ya. Reached out with an expression.

"Hello." Song Ya smiled and shook hands with him.

Isco slipped back in front of the soundstage.

"The one inside is the keyboard player Dile..."

In the recording studio, the white man wearing headphones and playing FXXXYOU accompaniment smiled at Song Ya friendly.

Song Ya beckoned, "Then what is the work arrangement for today?" He asked Lisa.

"Today is the first round of audition. This is the list." Lisa took out a document from her arms and handed it to Song Ya.

"So many people?" The list is very long, full of three pages,

"What's the matter?" Whether you want to soak in Mira or induce Mira's mother to turn back, you need to put pressure on the other party first, and put Mira in the first round of the fiercely competitive audition. It was Song Yazao. A good strategy agreed with Hayden.

Hayden tilted his head and gestured to go out to speak. Song Ya walked with him outside where there was no one. "Mila's mother found a relationship and moved her to the second round." Hayden reported a name, and it was in competition with Daniel. The executive in the managerial position.

"Daniel is just the vice president. SBK's internal interpersonal relationships are more complicated than we thought. The list has changed a lot when I arrived, not just Mira..." Hayden went back to Lisa and asked for another document. "You Look at this second-round audition list."

In addition to the female singer that Daniel preferred and the list of three to accompany the runner, five handwritten names with different handwriting were added below. Milla Jovovich is one of them.

"FXXX!" Song Ya's good mood was completely destroyed when he came, "Damn office politics."

"No way, office politics is indispensable for this kind of big company." Hayden said, "Fortunately, it doesn't affect the overall situation."

"I hate to fall into the boring vortex of office politics again." Song Ya rubbed his eyebrows in distress.

"Again?" Hayden heard what was wrong in this sentence.

Huh?Why should I say it again?Song Ya shook his head, "It's just a mistake. There are too many people on the list in the first round. Is SBK's appeal so strong?"

"This is New York. Since Madonna has made a huge amount of money for Warner, countless record companies have wanted to have their own trend DIVA (the queen). The SBK signed Mira the year before, I think they have similar ideas. Mira is beautiful and born as a child star. She has a certain status in the fashion industry, and she can sing. If it were not for her grumpy and greedy parents, she would be a good seed. Nowadays, white girls on the market are seriously oversupply, and any song suitable for them will be robbed. head."

Hayden nodded with his finger on the names that were added to the second round of the list, "This song of yours is not difficult to sing and it is also associated with rights, and the female profanity song has a good topicality... or that sentence, here. It’s New York. When the news is released, some people with good backgrounds will see the opportunity ahead of time."

"Supply oversupply..." Song Ya shook his head and laughed. "You said this is like human trafficking."

"Don't you know, when there is a group of unknown people under the agent, it really feels like trafficking in human beings, and it's still the kind that can't be sold." Hayden smiled bitterly. He has a say in this matter.

The two did not think of a good solution, so they returned to the control room.

"The fourth bar, can you handle it more simply?" Isco was making suggestions to the microphone.

"OK, I'll try again." Dile in the studio started playing again.

Song Ya's face became gloomy, Isco, this guy ignored him, and even dared to face his own song.

He went out again, wandering slowly inside SBK, trying to calm his mood.

"Give up, your girl is a black, she can't make it through the first round." Walking to a quiet place, a man's words caught his attention.

"You idiot, don't you know? The songwriter and producer of this song is APLUS from Chicago. He is a black man! According to the principle of one drop of blood." Another woman retorted, " Your girl will be out of play, there are so many white girls here today."

"What! APLUS is a black man!?" The man's tone was obviously a little flustered.

"You need to update your source." The woman triumphed, "Black people will definitely favor their own people."

Before the two agents noticed him, Song Ya turned and left.

"Enough, I hate the feeling that everything is out of control!" He rushed to the studio to pull Hayden out, and said in a deep voice, "You help me make another appointment with Daniel."

"Hey...you are still young. You will get used to experiencing the complexity of society a few more times. Everything is a process of compromise." Hayden laughed instead. He understood Song Ya's meaning wrong, and the bullet was in his hands. The first round of the list, "For the more than seventy girls on this list, you are already a big man. Whoever you fancy, as long as you say, no, a hint, most of them will crawl naked. Get on your bed. I went to the waiting room and saw that among those who came in the morning, there are those who are not inferior to Mira, so why are they so clueless?"

"BULLSHXT!"

Song Ya burst into swearing, "The real big man is who wants X who X who, if X can only adapt to another goal, will it be a big man? Call you!"

He drove Hayden to call and dialed the number of Old Joe himself, "Boss, are you already running a promotion? That... is Eric free? I want to borrow him for a while... Thank you boss."

The next day, standing at the door looking at the back of Isco, who was leaving with the cardboard box, Song Ya said to Eric next to him: "I'll leave this to you, Eric."

"Thank you APLUS, thank you for giving me this opportunity." Eric was very excited, walked into the control room and started playing with the mixer.

"The equipment here is very new, do you know how to use it?"

"No problem, it's just that there are some new features. I am familiar with it quickly."

"By the way, you don't want to touch any of the girls here without my permission. This is New York, not South Chicago."

"I know."

"well."

At the end of the dialogue, Song Ya looked at the list with satisfaction. Mila's name reappeared in the first round of the audition. The corners of his mouth cocked and he sneered slightly.

"By the way, you can watch the MTV station later." Eric reminded.

There was a small TV in the control room. Song Ya turned on on time and switched to the MTV channel. The sound of familiar music sounded, it was his own'second hand shop'.
