Chicago 1990

Soon, Hayden also received a call, and Midnight Show wanted to advance the interview with Song Ya, just two days later.

"They probably want to borrow this hot spot to invite a black star to the scene." Hayden analyzed.

Song Ya was a little uncertain, "Good or bad?"

"It shouldn't be a bad thing. Let's have a meeting. We have to give a reply before twelve o'clock." Hayden looked at his watch.

Call Roberto Clevere, then dial Donovan's phone, turn on the hands-free.

"Of course it's a good thing, it's the late night show of David Letterman! And it will definitely talk about the current all-meter focus event!" Donovan said loudly, "There is nothing to hesitate. At this time, even the top-level David Letterman People in the media dare not dig holes for black guests."

Roberto Clerville suggested that Song Ya ask Motula.

Song Ya dialed Motura's phone in a place where no one was there.

Motula and Donovan have the same opinion, but he sees it more clearly, "You have communicated well with the late night show a long time ago and the performance is almost ready. To be offensive, your list is actually not enough for David Letterman talks about big issues such as racism. If you are not the black star who can appear on his show at the fastest speed, he probably won't choose you at this critical time. This is a great opportunity, and your luck is full of APLUS. Perform well and get a high impression score in the all-meter black group."

Song Ya didn't hesitate anymore. He hung up the phone and asked Hayden to reply to the late-night show team and inform him of his decision to participate in the interview as scheduled.Indeed, if I hadn't decided to participate in the late-night show at the beginning of March, how could the other party think of myself, Quanmi is much better than his own famous black stars and politicians.

The next day, he and Hayden rushed to the NBC headquarters in Rockefeller Center in New York to participate in the interview and performance rehearsal tomorrow evening. The whole process was very serious and modest. Since the list is not enough, it must be made up by leaving a good impression on the other party.

Sure enough, the interview station was greatly changed. Some funny jokes were cut off, and many racial issues were added. Of course, the assault was indispensable.

Song Ya called Michelle again, and communicated with her the tone of the statement. In short, there is no room to calmly look at or ride a wall. With such a proven brutality, he must stand on the side of the black and condemn the white police officer.

In the meantime, David Letterman came to listen to the rehearsal, Song Ya chatted with him a few words, basically, the positions of both sides are the same.

In addition to hosting, David Letterman is still a very good screenwriter. He is very satisfied with Song Ya’s dedicated attitude, “Don’t be nervous when you are on the scene, do you know? Many young stars appear on the show and have done enough preparations, but because they are nervous And the speaking rate is too fast, I can only deliberately lower the speaking rate, and then..."

He made a gesture of holding a cup and drinking water, "This is the only way to drag time. So when you see me picking up the cup, you have to pay attention to the speed of speech."

"I will, thank you David."

On the evening of March 6, Song Ya appeared on the late night show on time. Through NBC TV, the four-minute performance clip was recorded in advance. He sang I feel it coming and jumped, and he had to interact with the funny artists on the side. To avoid slight flaws in the ground, but NBC helped him solve the problem through post-modification.

"Today we invited a very young star. He is only sixteen years old but he has created several platinum singles. Of course, I will not admit that I am worse than him. I was already very famous when I was sixteen. The host of... in our middle school."

The audience laughed.

The live band of famous musician Paul Schaeffer played a mixed cut from I feel it coming to a second-hand store and then to De Klerk.

"Hearing these familiar music, everyone can guess who it is? Yes, APLUS! Let us welcome him!"

Song Ya stepped on the rhythm of the background music,

"Thank you for being here, the performance is perfect." David Letterman started to lead the topic according to the table book...

"So you grew up in Chicago, right?"

"Yes, I am from Chicago."

"Let's talk, talk about your teenage life."

"Uh, very poor. I have stayed at my aunt's house since I was a child. We are very poor. I remember one time..."

The children from poor families have extraordinary talents. The audience likes their achievements through personal struggle. Song Ya tried to suppress the nervousness and spoke calmly.

The older audience on the scene looked at him, their eyes softened.

"Let's look at a picture." David Letterman took out Song Ya and Mandela's "grand-grandson love", and the photographer zoomed in, "When was this taken?"

"Well, this is a youth activity I participated in last year..."

Song Ya introduced the background of the two people's meeting, "Chicago...Dr. Michelle of the Affirmative Organization, she provided me with this opportunity." He mentioned Michelle, Daniel's point of view on him But I have not forgotten.

"Have you two talked? How about the others?" David Letterman pointed to Mandela in the photo.

"In fact, I only talked a few words (and not). He is a very kind old man, but I can feel the infinite spiritual power in his heart. He is a role model for anti-racism. I love him like my grandfather..."

"I remember you wrote the song that scolded De Klerk? Didn't the South African government embarrass you?"

"Hahaha, don't you scold me, I think I was just a little offended, but fortunately, they didn't seem to recognize me..." Song Ya patted his heart and made a posture that he had a lingering fear after he escaped. Set baggage.

Both the two and the audience laughed.

"Speaking of discrimination, do you know what happened on the third night?" The topic came.

"Yes, I read the news, and it is hard to imagine my anger when I saw the scenes of police violence in Los Angeles..."

Song Ya slowed down as much as possible, looking at the camera lens with the green light on, Su Rong said: "It is now in the nineties, less than ten years from the next century, Dr. Li Jin’s speech... in America Such atrocity is absolutely unforgivable. Although I am a sixteen-year-old young man, I want to take this opportunity to make an appeal, please stop discriminatory behavior immediately and punish the offender..."

"Very good, my colleagues and I also agree with you very much, ladies and gentlemen..."

David Letterman said passionately about anti-discrimination thinking based on white stance, "Although we are a less serious show, we will still work with everyone to pay attention to the follow-up progress of this matter. Please don't go away... "

Exactly ten minutes into the commercial, "The performance is very good." David Letterman shook hands with Song Ya, and briefly encouraged him, and Song Ya left the studio.

"perfect!"

Hayden, who was waiting outside, applauded him and said, "Your performance just now was a perfect score. The tears in the corners of your eyes and the emotional utterances made me cry."

"Well, this is over, I should go back and record the song next."

Song Ya shook his head and smiled bitterly. There are too many things for himself. Remember the name has not been recorded yet. The lyrics modification of Empire State of Mind is a big project. In a few days, he will have to return to Chicago to participate in the protests, produced by A+ Pedal Company. Nor is it on the right track.

The response after the show was broadcast was very good. He has always been a hitter in listening ratings. In a talk show with much less jokes than usual, he raised more than three points of ratings for NBC.Of course, it is mainly because of hot topics, but the credit will still be credited to him.

Song Ya took the initiative to call Motula and thanked him, after all, the opportunity to participate in the late night show was provided by the other party.

Back at the hotel, his phone and pager never stopped ringing. Not only Michelle and other acquaintances, but also some black singers who were so close to each other called to express their support. For example, the long-lost Eskoper, he has ended the movie. Others were in Los Angeles, where the atrocities took place, and there were more protests over there.

Quincy Jones, who had a relationship with Grammys, also called, and the two met again at the Chicago event to chat.
