Chicago 1990

The next day, saying goodbye to Mila Yiyi, Song Ya brought Al back to Chicago.

Before he came, he vowed to sing that he had to sing it by himself. Now he finally got a man's love song, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Nothing else, the original singer’s voice is too much like MJ (Michael Jackson), especially when she just started her vocal, if it weren’t for the original singer’s face, Song Ya almost thought she had apologized for an old MJ song, the style of music. Even earlier than this era.The only highlight is the electronic accompaniment part, which sounds very retro, but the technology is new and wonderful.

"Imitating MJ in this era...emmm...will it be ugly to die?"

After struggling on the plane for a long time, he even thought about whether to put the lyrics and music to MJ.

Later, I dismissed my idea. MJ was too popular, unprecedented red, red worldwide. Before chatting with Mira's agent, the two inevitably talked about MJ.According to the other party, even Motura, the president of Columbia Records I met at the Detroit Pistons last time, has to make an appointment in advance if he wants to see his own MJ. Even if he makes an appointment, whether he can meet depends on MJ's mood.

Although it is difficult to tell whether the various rumors of MJ are true or false, since the other party is a high-level William Morris, the information must be reliable.And he also said that MJ is already trying to reduce the number of tracks for next year's new album, and for this, he has had a lot of trouble with several well-known composers. This piece of his own...

I sang the phrase I Feel It Coming over and over countless times...

"Damn, the man spit a nail! There is no reason to repent of what he said!"

He made up his mind to record this song and sing it himself!Produce their own!How difficult it is to complete it.

As soon as he got off the plane, he hung up Hayden and briefly explained his initial thoughts.

"Didn't you just date Mila? You won't give her the new song?" Hayden questioned on the phone.

Song Ya explained: "This is a man song, you will understand when you see the lyrics."

"The lyrics...I just need to change it. Mila is missing a song." Hayden said: "I know the songs specially prepared by SBK for Mila. Most of them are girl songs with guitar accompaniment. The melody is simple and catchy, but nothing new."

"What's the matter with you? Whose agent are you?"

Song Ya was wary, "Why do I listen to you thinking more about Mira?"

"Uh... I'm sorry, I just... want to end Mira's album as soon as possible."

Hayden quickly apologized, "I wonder if you like her so much..."

"Come on! I know you have an interest in Mirana. If you want to choose something, I can give you a choice now." Song Yasuo said straightforwardly. Anyway, he had only signed a one-year brokerage contract with Hayden before. , The big deal kicked him away.

"No, no, no, where did you think about it." Hayden persuaded, "Well, if you have any ideas, I will try my best."

It’s almost the same, Song Ya confessed: “OK, in short, I have a new song, and then I want to be the producer myself and ask SBK or other major record companies to release it. There is only one single at the moment, and the album plan is undecided. , I want you to find as many issuers as possible and negotiate the best terms. Of course, given our relationship with Daniel, SBK is the preferred option..."

Hayden was silent for a while, "Well, I'm in New York, I will help you ask around right away."

"Do your best, Hayden."

"Of course, of course, you can rest assured."

In the evening two days later, he waited for Hayden's reply.

"SBK said that they can help you make this song. In order to clarify the ownership relationship, you have to pay the recording studio rental fee during the production process, which is symbolic. In terms of publicity, you know Daniel's skill well, so I don't need to say more.

Daniel’s conditions made Song Ya feel more pressured. This gambling agreement can be described as his own life. Just waiting for the world to drop the plug-in songs, how dare to sign an agreement to distribute within a year, and just use some rubbish songs to fool with Deviated from his original intention.

"What about other companies?" he asked.

"SBK's conditions are the best. In addition, there are two other companies that gave good conditions. One is Atlantic Records under Warner Records. President Doug Morris is willing to provide production assistance. You are also required to sign a special contract, but the conditions are a little harsher than Daniel's. But his family has the advantage that it is not as "white" as SBK, and supports African singers much stronger than SBK, whether it is in the age of soul music or the era of rhythm and blues , They provide an opportunity for a large number of African singers."

"Then it’s the Columbia Record’s Motura that we’ve seen. He doesn’t ask you for a first album, but he won’t provide any help in production. He has to see the finished product first, at least half-finished. If your single If he can meet the requirements, he promised to compare the resources of second-line singers to help with the announcement."

Song Ya thinks about it a bit and feels that Colombia’s conditions are acceptable. Anyway, this step of production will be done sooner or later, but the ten-song album may not be available within a year. "You have Colombia’s conditions to go with Daniel. Talk?"

"APLUS..."

Hayden persuaded: "Daniel is good to us, if you use Columbia to lower the price on him... You know, he and Motula have never dealt with it."

"Oh yes, I forgot this." Song Ya scratched his head, remembering what Daniel and Motula said when they attacked each other.

"In short, the conditions can be negotiated slowly. You can make a demo for me first, otherwise I won't be able to talk about anything." Hayden said at last.

"Okay..." Song Ya hung up.

At this time the door buzzer rang, he went to press it, and Pablo's voice came over, "APLUS, I want to talk to you, is it convenient?"

Song Ya opened the door downstairs for him, and Pablo appeared at the door a minute later.

"You little bastard!"

He entered the door violently and sat down on the sofa, "You obviously have a new song, why are you lying to me?" He pointed Song Ya with his finger, "In Nancheng, we never lie to ourselves!"

Song Ya was stunned, the news leaked?It was only two days, and apart from Hayden who hadn't told anyone himself, even Old Joe had kept it secret, "Hey, pay attention to your attitude, Pablo." But Pablo was upset by this kind of behavior.

"Cooperate with Little Lori, don't hesitate to mention any conditions." Pablo still had that purpose.

"I said it clearly..."

Song Ya felt that he must have a showdown with this birdman. He stepped forward, took off the mouthless camel that Pablo was putting on the cigarette holder, and threw it into the trash basket. "Sorry, my house is non-smoking, let me tell you. , You said you are in Nancheng, so let's talk about Nancheng first..."

He sat across from Pablo, "Whether it is the loyalty of the Chinese, the brotherhood of the blacks, even Italians, Mexicans...no gang of any ethnic group is not moral at all, Pablo! Don't be old. Take Nancheng Nancheng's bluffing me, I am also my own person, my song made a fortune for you and Lori, the same is true for old Joe and the big brother, whether it is business or morality, I don’t owe you, I’ll say it again , I don’t owe you. You want to play the gang set, so..."

He pushed the phone in front of Pablo, "Big brother's phone, you can make any calls, let him rule."

He watched Pablo unmoved and picked up the microphone, "You don't want to fight, I'll fight."

"Hey!" Pablo quickly pressed his dialing hand.

The two stopped their movements and looked at each other. A few seconds later, "Well, forget it, kid, let's..." Pablo stood up and wanted to say something cruel.

Al had rushed out of Tony's room, standing straight in front of Pablo, face to face, chest to chest, eyes as ferocious as a hyena.

Pablo gritted his teeth and left in silence.

"I will do it when you just said something." Al said.

Song Ya shook his head. He sat in the same place and meditated for a while. Hayden would not disclose the news to Pablo. Then he could only get the news from the record company that Hayden visited. Given that Lori is looking for his next home, it is likely to be on both sides. The record company contacted overlapped, and it must have been leaked to him by a record company.

Pablo can get the news so quickly, it can’t be delayed any longer. Now that he has made his determination to make his own singing, it’s time for a showdown and give a clear signal to the outside world. After all, the nature of his own initiative to passively know with others is completely complete. different.

He dialed Old Joe's phone, "Hey, boss, I have something, I want to talk to you..."

When I made an appointment with Old Joe in a strange place, Song Ya asked Al to drive him there.

Inside a large warehouse, it was divided into many small warehouses. The inside was very dim, with only the rolling shutter doors shining with metallic paint.

"Old Joe won't do me here, will he? It looks like it looks like a corpse is handled well here..."

Song Ya looked at the weird atmosphere inside, a little afraid to enter.

"Hey, APLUS!"

Fortunately, a black extension Lincoln slowly stopped by his side, and Old Joe walked out of the back seat in a very good mood.

"Wow, this is a good car." Song Ya looked at the exaggerated length of the body and quickly complimented.

"I regret it after I buy it." The old man pretended to say.

"Too expensive?"

"No, it's boring, I heard that there is a bathtub in Madonna's car! What about mine? Nothing."

"..."

Song Ya was speechless.

"Am I going to lose you?" Old Joe asked suddenly.

"how come?"

Old Qiao definitely stared at Song Ya for a few seconds, "I really want to lose you." He smiled and took out a key from his pocket, threw it into Song Ya's hand, then got into the car by himself, and extended Lincoln slowly and drove away. .

Song Ya opened a warehouse according to the number on the key. It was full of equipment replaced by Old Qiao Music, such as mixers, microphones, synthesizers, stereos, turntables, samplers...all piled up.
