Chicago 1990

On June 15th, another DIVA Paula Abdul’s single Rush Rush and the album Spellbound both reached the top of the bulletin board. Song Ya and Mariah Carey’s rankings fell sharply.

In the first five weeks of the eighth week, four weeks of which were No. 1, the song Remember The Name brought so much to Song Ya. At the end of the year, he can even hope to be the champion of the annual chart.

The news that Lori entered the local police station to cooperate with the investigation also came out. As for the other protagonist in the conflict bragging about his father, because he was not well-known, he was completely ignored by the media.

According to Goodman's judgment, the police and the FBI should not have any strong evidence. The demo cannot be used as an exhibit. It can assist in case handling, but it is useless to get it in court.

"Don't do that, APLUS."

In the hip-hop classroom, the black female dancer was looking at Song Ya awkwardly.

"What's the matter?" Song Ya jumped off the handle. He just grabbed the handle and hung himself in the air, imitating the body movements of the original singer.

"Your action will remind people of a monkey on a tree." said the female dancer.

Song Ya understands that maybe the black singers in the future don't care about this kind of action, but in this era, imitating monkey dance steps will be considered by the sensitive black community to be inferior.

"Ok."

Song Ya secretly killed the action, looked at the watch, time was almost up, "Let's stop here today."

He is going to meet the director of the'Queen' MV today, Zach Schneider.

Empire State of Mind’s MV Sony Columbia has not yet made a decision. He intends to put the'Small’ MV shooting on the schedule first. The old style, this MV only has a few scenes, and the trumpeters participating in it are readily available. Apart from hiring a few dancers, it doesn't cost much money.

"Your figure is getting more and more stylish." Hayden, who waited for a while, smiled and complimented.

"What about me?" Fergie turned around in front of him.

"Ahem, you too."

The two took the car boarded in Shanghai and returned to A+ Records.

Zach Schneider has arrived. He is studying the script written by Song Ya. "Is this the heroine?" He looked at Fergie and asked.

"Yes."

In the original MV, the heroine in the original MV had a scene of wriggling and coquettish in her lace underwear. Song Ya didn’t plan to copy it. She was only sixteen years old, and the atmosphere of this era was conservative. It would not be worth the loss if MTV didn’t broadcast it. .

And it's time to give Fergie some sweetness. The heroine must be hers. She has just turned seventeen, and her actions are still those actions. When that happens, it won't be a big problem for her to wear more.

"no problem."

The two discussed the Taiwanese thoroughly, and Zach Schneider agreed to take over the job. "I will start preparations when I return to New York." He smiled and said, "Sony Columbia must like you very much. You can help them save money so I don't know what Time to have a chance to shoot your big production."

"There will be." Song Ya said with a smile: "Let's go to New York together. I'm going to record the official version of the'trumpet', just to chat more on the plane."

Song Ya and Sony Columbia passed the gap. Now that the popularity of Remember The Name has begun to decline, they do not plan to launch a large-scale promotion of Empire State of Mind in the near future. The single release of'Small' just fills the gap.

"APLUS!"

"APLUS, what do you think about the shooting of Little Lowry?"

"Do you think this has something to do with the gangs in Chicago and New York?"

"Some sources pointed out that you and Lori have gang backgrounds. Can you clarify? APLUS!"

As soon as he left LaGuardia Airport, the annoying reporters gathered around. Al and Dile approached him in a familiar way. He didn't want to say anything to reporters at sensitive moments.

"Let let, let let..."

It was Hayden driving, and the penthouse was still being renovated, so the group had to stay in the hotel again.

"What does Atlantic Records think of Lori?"

There was only Hayden left in the house, Song Ya put down his luggage and asked.

"They are waiting and watching. You know, since they let Lori transform into gangster rap, they must be prepared for this kind of thing. For gangster rappers, it's not necessarily a bad thing to touch this kind of news." Hayden smiled meaningfully: "There is a saying: The person I like is the best."

"Ugh!"

Song Ya sighed. Indeed, gangster rappers just want to give outsiders the impression that they are brave and gang-connected, because their audience is the lower-class blacks. These people have very different moral concepts from the mainstream, and they don’t reject them. Violence, drugs, gangs, women and other elements, the more fierce singers are, the more powerful they are on the road, the more they like them.

For Atlantic Records, Little Lori kicked it off after playing off. They didn’t lose much. If they could actually release a big-selling gangster rap album, just like Efil4zaggin, which is now selling at NWA, it was paid to Joe. The buyout fee was earned back, and now it is the most stupid to give up Lori.

Only in this case, Little Lori will lose the last force to discourage, and his behavior will inevitably tend to please the target audience more and more.

Even if he can escape this shooting, what about next time?Next time?

Anyway, Song Ya knew that he had been targeted by the FBI, and they would not let it go easily. Just like NWA, when he was the most famous, he was troubled by the FBI in two days.

"Let's take care of our own business."

He and Hayden went to the fourth-floor apartment the next day and chatted with the building manager there. After buying these twelve units, he was responsible for the management and property costs. Now the rental income is here. It is very important to him. If he really wants to buy land and factories in Silicon Valley, his liquidity will be very tight.

"Your investment in Tribeca looks good now, and I take back my previous views."

After coming out, Hayden said with a smile: "The economy is not good, and housing prices in most areas are freezing up, so it seems that there is not much difference between here and the Upper West Side."

Mariah Carey was still running for publicity. On June 20th, Song Ya finished recording the official version of the'trumpet'.

In the second week of Jungle Fever, the box office remained at more than 7 million, but the number of theaters increased by more than 100, so the box office of single venues fell.

"Hey, Cooper."

Song Ya received a call from Escube. This guy is under great pressure. The movie is about to be released and the future is uncertain. The album of the enemy NWA is selling again. With the songs that attack him on radio stations all over the country, he is now …In short, it's a lot of pressure.

"APLUS, are you coming for the premiere? July 12th." Escobe was still trying to pull people.

"Don't worry, Cooper, haven't I promised? I will come, but you should not use me to support your propaganda. I cooperate with NWA and I don't want to get involved in your affairs." Song Ya replied.

"Yes, you can come as long as you can. Your kid is very popular now. I will write down this love."

Escobe is very happy, "Don't be afraid of NWA, they are almost finished, you believe me, watch then..."

Song Ya said haha ​​to deal with him, hung up the phone, and sneered, "This kid is stunned. NWA's album is now the second best seller in all meters, and he told me that they are almost finished."
