Chicago 1990

Chapter 125: Spike Lee

It seems that Philby is warming up the empire state of mind. Motura has scheduled the premiere at the all-meter billboard awards show in May. At the same time, the BMI Association will also announce the awards. Sony Columbia expects Songya to probably Shortlisted for one or two creative awards. As for whether or not to win, it depends on luck. Song Ya is not a contracted singer, and they cannot do their best to PR.

The only award Song Ya can be sure of is the Soul Train Music Award for black people. It was part of the last deal with Babyface. Unfortunately, the next one will have to wait for the coming year.

"The joint promotion with nwa and professors, an awards show, an awards ceremony, two songs on the charts, and the recording of trumpets are so busy..." Song Ya simply calculated it, and it will never compare. This half-month tour is easy.

Dile and the others successfully started the barbecue party. The nearby residents smelled the barbecue and thought it was a vendor, so they came to line up with the money. After learning that it was a black singer who was hosting the party, out of a very subtle white cowboy psychology, They moved home with a few grills and meat, and they also provided free steaks not far away. They turned the music festival into a barbecue competition. There were more and more people joining in the fun, and they even attracted the intervention of local police officers. .

"These red necks..."

Song Ya asked Fergie to get a few pieces back, and took a bite. The meat was fragrant. He snorted with satisfaction, "The ribs are grilled really well. The sauce seems to be made by himself and the meat is fresh. Our supermarket The goods are lost."

"Hey, aplus, I heard that you are going to drive back to Chicago from Indianapolis?" Big a led a local black dj over to meet him. He looked at the police officer who had just left and asked.

Song Ya nodded, "Yes, this tour is in a hurry."

"I don't recommend you to do this." The other party kindly reminded, "That road is the main way for smuggling guns into the South City of Chicago. The highway patrol is very strict and it is very unfriendly to black people. Moreover, they are under the pressure of traffic fines and will be fine. Looking for something."

"The U.S. also plays this set? Huh... also?" A thought flashed in Song Ya's mind.

"Aplus, or let's fly back to Chicago in Indianapolis and leave the car to the driver to drive back." Big a suggested, "The road is really not level."

"It's only two or three hours' drive..." Song Ya agreed after thinking about it, "All right, safety first."

The American countryside has always been a white country. This warning reminded him. He stood up and observed the ocean-like army of cowboy hats in the ground, and then went to find Dile and Al, "Change the plan temporarily, no The performance remember the name, I plan to sing i feel it ing."

"Why?" Al didn't know why.

It was the white man Dile who realized, "Okay, I'll talk to the organizer. Anyway, the audience here won't like rap music much."

In the country music circle, Gas Brooks is currently the most popular. The country singer has achieved diamonds (over 10 million sales) in his albums released last year and the year before. This year's new album is coming again and is expected to reach diamond sales. No problem.

Of course, there is almost no intersection between country music and hip-hop music, and the two cannot form a competitive relationship, but the purchasing power of white people still makes Song Ya salivate, after all, they are the mainstream audience group.Now even the top black singers, such as mj, Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, etc., are actually singing what white people like in terms of fundamental music style.

This music festival is a temporary decision. Song Ya is regarded as the biggest star among the participants. In addition, he was careful not to offend the locals. The audience was considered to be very face-saving. I feel it ing and sang it. The response was very enthusiastic.

With the improvement of singing skills, he is almost able to master this song.

After the performance was over, the festival was not over yet, and the convoy set off again, rushing to the next town.

Over the weekend, flying back to Chicago from Indianapolis, the three appeared at the Bulls' home court in the evening.

This New York Knicks is not an opponent of the Bulls. The audience's mentality is very relaxed, but Spike Lee, who sat on the sidelines, grabbed a lot of shots. He eagerly cheered for the Knicks and harassed the Bulls on the field. Try to help a little bit.

"Why isn't this guy staying in New York?" Al was complaining to this well-known black compatriot in the aisle. Spike Lee was a regular on the sidelines of Madison Square Garden, and he and the Lakers fan white star Nicholson were called East and West. The big side mascot.

"Who knows, Hayden, give me the phone."

Song Ya asked for her cell phone, walked to the side and dialed Halle Berry's phone, "Harry, I saw Spike Lee."

Spike Lee is regarded as Halle’s noble person in Hollywood. She was spotted by him as soon as she went to Hollywood from New York. She participated in the filming of his self-written, directed and acted movie Jungle Fever. It was also there that she met the actor Weslist Rip then followed to make another movie and was beaten up for quarrels in that crew.

"I learned the news in a magazine, Cannes likes him very much... OK, let me ask for you."

Jungle Fever was shortlisted for several awards at the Cannes Film Festival. Hallie mentioned last time that she wanted to go to France with the crew, but because of Wesley Streep’s relationship, her relationship with Spike Lee also weakened a lot. , I can't speak much anymore.

Returning the phone to Hayden, the midfield whistle sounded, Song Ya walked to the side of the aisle as planned, and greeted the exiting Jordan, Pippen and others affectionately.

"Hey, David Falk asked me to say hello to you." Jordan, who was greeted, hugged Yu Songya very face-to-face, and beat each other on the back. The live camera recorded this scene faithfully.

"Yeah, tell him for me..."

Before Song Ya had finished speaking, Jordan turned his head and cursed at the Knicks team members, "Does your grandma come here without giving you enough food? Huh?"

"Uh..." Song Ya watched the darling of Chicago who had agreed to be a very good-looking Chicago disappear into the aisle, and gained a new understanding of him.

When the cheerleading team finished their performance, "Welcome to our Chicago aplus! Remember the name!"

Song Ya kissed the tag on his chest and rushed into the arena with Dile and Al with the prelude.

"Yo~This song is dedicated to the Bulls, to Michael, and to you!" Song Ya came up with a flattering, "you ready!?"

"Ready!" Needless to say, the audience from hometown stood up and applauded. The atmosphere was immediately ignited.

They cooperated very well with Song Ya. When they reached the second passage, "ten percent..." Song Ya pointed the microphone at the audience, "luck!" everyone shouted in unison.

"Twenty percent!"

"Skill!"

The performance ended in the mountain whistling tsunami, Song Ya naturally walked over to greet Spike Lee, and took the initiative to make an appointment to get together at night. The other party was a bit surprised, but still agreed.

"I know, Halle Berry is the heroine of your mv." In a high-end restaurant in Chicago, Spike Lee stared at Song Ya and shook his head slowly, "She can't go to France, not only because of Wesley, she is in the movie Li is just a small role, I gave her the opportunity to be unable to explain to other actors. And I heard that she is interested in participating in Eddie Murphy's big production. I hate that guy."

Like the unforgiving image on the court and in Hollywood, Spike Lee speaks very directly in private, "You asked me to eat for this?"

"of course not."

Song Ya’s main goal is to get involved with the black director in front of him who has flourished in Hollywood. Just like Hayden said, don’t enter Hollywood without a reliable guide. Maybe the other party It will be the guide.

He said his thoughts.

"Investment?" Spike Lee came to the spirit, "The black power in Hollywood is far inferior to the music circle. Of course we welcome young people like you to invest in black movies."

"Black movies?" Song Ya was taken aback.

"You don't want to give money to the white man?" Spike Lee asked.

"Uh, this is an investment. Of course I want to make money. I would like to invest in movies that make money." Song Ya replied that black Hollywood movies don’t make much money. Strictly speaking, Eddie Murphy’s comedies It's not a black movie, just a movie starring a black comedy star.

"Then you and Eddie Murphy may have a more common language."

Spike Lee's words began to be thorny.
