Chicago 1990

Not only that, after the show was aired, Song Ya’s long silent first single, I feel it coming, showed a clear resurgence. Many listeners who supported his remarks chose to buy singles to express their attitude, even second-hand stores and Zhide Klerk also got a bit of benefit.

"Don't you think this time is a bit strange? The four major TV networks collectively reported that there are a lot of discrimination incidents all over the country, right?"

Song Ya later felt something was wrong, and when she had dinner with Mariah Carey and others, she said her thoughts.

"There are a lot of discrimination incidents, but it's rare to see such clear shots."

David Cole flipped through the newspaper and said, "The photographer was very close to the scene of the beating, and the level of photography is good."

"In short, this matter should have a result soon. Although the Los Angeles police are still stubborn, they can't stand it. As long as normal people who have watched the video, it is impossible to stand on the side of the police regardless of black and white. Even white supremacy Do not dare to speak out at this moment."

Walter said, "Now that your new APLUS order has been produced, please publish it as soon as possible. Taking advantage of the enthusiasm that does not cost money now, Mr. Motura has asked it once."

Song Ya was a little surprised, "But the MV hasn't started shooting yet?"

"That's not in a hurry. Many singles are released first and then supplemented with MVs. Your remember the name song is very optimistic. It will not have a one-month publicity period like I feel it coming. The plan made by the publicity department It lasts for a few months. In short, we will let it appear on the shelves of major video stores first.” Walter replied.

"All right." There is no doubt about the marketing strength of Sony Columbia Records, and Song Ya agreed.

"Is it another money-saving MV this time?" Roberto Clever asked with a smile.

"Roughly the same."

Remember the name’s original MV will not cost much more than I feel it coming, except for a lot of people. Song Ya plans to go back to Chicago to shoot, run a party at A+ Records, and get things done by the way.

"Our propaganda department really loves you." David Cole finished, and the four men laughed.

"Ok?"

Only Mariah Carey didn't smile, she was still depressed and drunk, and the four found out that they had a good chat and left her in the cold.

"Miss Kelly, you don't have to be willing to criticize people's criticism, they are jealous." David Cole persuaded.

Since the Grammy’s five mention two, and it was a very heavyweight best newcomer and best pop female singer, during this period music critics began to criticize Mariah Carey, and the attacks were mainly focused on two points. One is her. The lyrics in the song are too plain, and secondly, she thinks that behind her winning the award are Sony Columbia Records and Motura's off-disk means.

There is nothing to say about these two points. Although Song Ya and her are friends, they won two awards when they participated in the Grammys for the first time. No one believed that Motura did not work hard behind his back.As for the lyrics...it’s true, but for a reason, most of the lyrics are done by Mariah Carey herself, in order to sing the most difficult song for her good voice, not literature. Sex is the first purpose, and it is inevitable to be simple.

But those music critics, especially the NARAS (National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences) members who are eligible to vote in the Grammys, criticized each of them very unsparingly, as if they did not vote for Maria at the time. Kelly, the question is coming, and she didn't vote. How did she get the prize?

The guys were put in place by Motula's public relations before the awards, and now they have begun to dismiss them.

"What are those people doing?"

Song Ya also said: "After you got the award, your record sales exploded. You rushed for 10 million albums and singles, right?"

"Humph." Mariah Carey hummed a little bit of contentment.

"But you can't be too obsessed with dazzling skills.

Mariah Carey pouted.

"Walter, shut up, we know our songs in our hearts."

David Cole smiled and cursed. It was written by him and Roberto Cleverville. They added Songya, and the three of them coaxed Mariah Carey with joy. They ended the dinner and went home separately.

Song Ya never mentioned Empire? State? of Mind. Although this song is an apocalypse when I was with Mariah Carey, if I rashly proposed that I want to sing with the other party, there are too many things involved. Up.

First of all, Mariah Carey is a Shinco DIVA, but it is not comparable to the status of Lori or Mila at the time. If she proposes a chorus by herself, it is easy to be misunderstood as trying to take advantage.

Secondly, Mariah Carey's album is basically arranged by Walt and the three of them. If you put a foot in it, it is easy to cause conflicts of interests.

Also, Mariah Carey is now in the adult lyric style, and the main audience group is white. Most of them don’t listen to it at all, and even hate rap music. If you can really put Empire State State of Mind into the other’s album. Maybe it will cause sales to fall.

In short, Song Ya hasn’t figured out how to mention this to Sony Columbia. For the time being, he intends to record an original version according to the old method, and then talk to Motula frankly, not because of a song. Sony Columbia's established network of contacts was completely ruined.

But now that the song is not on the agenda, he is not in a hurry.

Then, after spending half a day, he and Dile and Al cooperated with the publicity department to shoot the cover of Remember the name's single.

Mira’s movie has also been closed, but the two still can’t get together. William Morris arranged for her to take part in the protest in Los Angeles and gave her the title of affirmative pioneer that De Klerk packaged for her. It would be too stupid to not use it at this time. .

Song Ya also has his own protests to participate in in Chicago. It just so happened that he had to go back to shoot the MV.

"Okay, so be it."

He returned the final version of the album cover in his hand to the person in charge of publicity. The black silhouettes of him, Dile and Al occupies only a small part of the picture. The background is a mottled color block on a white wall. The single name and other information are condensed in One corner, simple and recognizable.This is consistent with the style of I feel it coming before. On the cover of that single is the black silhouette of him and Halle Berry embracing. The background color block is composed of the dim red of the sunset in the MV and the black of some strange rocks.Singles and albums in the future will also be in this style.

Then he met with Mavota, Andrew and Hunt who were going to work at A+ Records. The three of them would drive to Chicago together. After all, the job changed and all the belongings in New Jersey had to be taken with them.

"Hayden has returned to Chicago. He will help you rent a house there." Song Ya briefly confessed, then bid them farewell and rushed to the airport with Dile and Al.

"After participating in tomorrow's protests, when the crew arrives, we will immediately start shooting the MV."

Back downstairs at A+ Records in Chicago, Song Ya couldn't help but feel more relaxed. His work pace is always fast every time he visits New York, which is really tiring.

"Maybe you should sign one or two new singers. Every time we go, we will be in a state where people go to the building. It is wasteful to rent a recording studio but not use it." Dile smiled and pushed down the elevator. switch.

"Let's talk about it later... When the three of Mawota come to work, it's a bit too small here, maybe wait for a bigger place." Song Ya replied.

"Old Joe Music's old equipment can't keep up with the times."

Al, who had seen equipment in Columbia's recording studio, warned.

"Yeah." Song Ya nodded, wondering if I could use A+ records to borrow some money from the bank to upgrade the equipment from the expected income of I feel it coming, "Alas! The bank's money is spent well, and I owe a few million dollars It doesn't feel like..."

While talking, the elevator stopped on the fourth floor and the door opened.

Song Ya looked up and saw the two girls running towards the elevator.

"Hey! APLUS! Stop them for me!" Big A once again clutched his bleeding nose and chased out from behind, shouting loudly.

Song Ya frowned, so he wouldn't help Big A stop people, let alone a girl, and hurried out of the elevator.

Unexpectedly, one of the girls also changed the running direction, and just hit his arms.
