Chicago 1990

"So, APLUS, is your single scheduled to be released at the end of December?"

Mariah Carey finished chewing the vegetable salad in her mouth, took another sip of red wine, and asked.

"Yeah, that's the plan at the moment, if the MV shooting goes well."

Song Ya replied that since the last "iron cage conflict" incident, he hastily launched a crisis public relations. In ten days or so, he has developed into good friends who can often have meals with the other party.

As for the trick, it’s very simple. Although Mariah Carey is five years older than him, she is actually a very innocent girl and a song idiot. In addition to singing, she is singing in her mind. As long as she uses this topic as a breakthrough, she can easily Chat, like now.

"I feel it coming...I feel it coming."

She sang a couple of improvisations. To be fair, she was a hundred times stronger than Song Ya, who was very hard recently. As the Atlantic Records’ Steve said, just a few words were chanted three sighs by her floral accent, and Song Ya recorded two styles.

"Bravo! Bravo!" Song Ya applauded softly and flattered.

The other three white men present here can only clap with him. Apart from Walter, the other two are David Cole and Roberto Clerville, the producer and composer of her next album.It stands to reason that the three of them and Song Ya are all senior people in the music industry who can compose and produce. You don’t have to be so attentive to a female singer, but don’t forget her other identity, the girlfriend of the president of Sony Columbia. At any rate, it can be regarded as their half boss.

"Hmph." She triumphed and took another sip.

"Your voice, Miss Kelly." The more straightforward Walter came forward to be a villain.

"I know, I'll stop drinking this cup."

She put down the cup, and suddenly thought of something and laughed, "It was so funny just now, the Guns N'Roses (Guns N'Roses, rock band guitarist), who was always at FXXX when receiving the award. FXXX, AMA's face is green."

Several people had just attended the AMA (National Music Awards) awards ceremony. When they received the award, they were drunk and kept talking swear words, embarrassing the organizer, and directly choked off the audio of the live broadcast of the whole meter.

"Popular rock stars are all like birds." David Cole curled his lips in disdain. "And Bon Jovi (another rock band), their personal lives are all messed up."

"This time we haven't collected the pellets." Mariah Carey said with her hair and pretending to be casual.

"The AMA selection method is not professional enough (according to the preferences of the audience), Grammy (selected by professionals) you have a chance." Walter hurriedly coaxed her.

She was immediately happy, "Really? Is there really a chance?"

"The opportunity is great, you are fully qualified to get the best newcomer, and the best female pop singer is not impossible. We have Tommy." Roberto Clerville said.

"Yeah, Mr. Motura can do everything."

Song Ya did not let go of any chance of flattering, even if the target person was not present, he raised his glass, "We respect Mr. Motula." Then he gestured to Mariah Carey, "Also to you, Miss Carey."

Everyone clinked glasses and drank, and Walter laughed and said, "APLUS, where did you learn this set, aren't you a kid from the slums of Chicago?"

"I'm an alternative, I have both good character and academics, and I often participate in equal rights activities." Of course, Song Ya will not forget to brag about herself, "A few months ago I went to South Africa and took a photo with Mr. Mandela."

"Boy, you are very nice."

Being able to sit and have a dinner together, everyone naturally appreciates each other, David Cole praised: "Your poem to De Klerk,

"Daniel's approach to marketing by the South African government on that song is also a must." Walter exaggerated.

"Ahem." Roberto Clever coughed dryly and turned the topic to Song Ya's MV shooting. "I have seen the MV shooting plan of I feel it coming. Is it necessary to be so simple? No need for us Colombia save money."

In this era, MV shooting is just a means of propaganda for the song, and the distributor is responsible for the cost.

Song Ya naturally doesn’t say that the original version is like this. “I personally don’t like that kind of extravagant MV. The MV to De Klerk is also my idea. The camera follows Mila all the way to shoot. , The response is pretty good."

"It's also a concept, but don't say this to the media, lest you be overplayed by them and imply that you mean something." Walter reminded.

"Uh... I see, thank you, Walter."

The MJ brothers and sisters have always taken the path of making big music videos, and MJ is the number one on Columbia Records. Song Ya understands that his words are indeed easy to be interpreted by the media as "free".

Roberto Clevere asked: "Where is the heroine? Are you sure?"

"No." Song Ya looked at Mariah Carey, "Ms. Carey would like to be the heroine of my MV? You are the most beautiful woman among my friends..."

"Hahaha...thank you." The other party was coaxed very happy.

"Miss Kelly can't, List (privately named according to the level of celebrity big names, Wanwan has a word for coffee, which means) is wrong."

Walter was afraid that Mariah Carey agreed, "APLUS you can find a young female singer or actress with C-List or below. If you are a model, you can increase it to B-List."

"Do you have any recommendations?" Mila is from SBK and can't participate in the Colombian MV. Song Ya doesn't want to repeat the mistakes that offended people in the audition last time.

"Our South American branch is pushing a Latin girl singer named Shakira."

Roberto Clerville mentioned a name, and it seems that he provoked the topic with a purpose.

"Shakira can't do it, right?" Walter questioned, "APLUS is a little bit of color in this song. Shakira is only fourteen years old and underage."

"Yes." Roberto Clerwell accepted Walt's statement.

The four men exchanged glances, and there are no suitable candidates. It seems that the relationship between men and women of Columbia executives is much simpler than that of SBK.

"APLUS, you decide by yourself." Roberto Clever said: "Do you need us to do an audition for you?"

"I don't want to offend a large number of brokers again."

Song Ya didn't want to cause trouble anymore, and quickly refused. Seeing the eyes of the few people present that did not understand, he realized that the other party may not have cared about the internal affairs of SBK, so he described the predicament of the last audition again.

"This kind of thing is inevitable in New York. As long as there is business to do, those agents will come back." David Cole laughed: "Since you are afraid of dealing with them, hurry up and settle the heroine, a low-cost MV only."

After the dinner, a few people left this high-end French restaurant and went home.

Mariah Carey is now configured for A-List, and the bodyguards and assistants hurriedly left through the back door of the restaurant.

Song Ya returned to the hotel and remembered the girl she met in South Africa. Unfortunately, she and her agent had not actively contacted them, and then forgot to ask for their contact information. The clues were completely cut off.

After thinking about it, he picked up the phone and called Hayden.

"Doesn't the New York black music circle have an opinion on you? This time using one of their people will just be able to repair the relationship?" Hayden gave a very good idea.

"That's right, but who am I looking for?" There is no big guy or the like in the New York black music scene, and Song Ya is worried.

Coincidentally, someone gave pillows while dozing off, and the black executive Steve from Atlantic Records called the hotel.
