Chicago 1990

The timing of this wave of self-revealing was good. VMA just ended, and it was a blank period between Prince and MJ’s new order. I was attracted by the news that “APLUS is discouraged and will soon fade out of the pop music circle”. The public will look at it. The bet was again outside the gate of the villa in Hyde Park.

"Mr. APLUS has received excessive media attention and interpretation for a long time since the disappearance of Frank, and various irresponsible rumors and attacks have made him deeply tired. Now he just wants to fade out of public attention for a period of time, rest and recharge himself. As for whether Mr. APLUS has not yet made a final decision to withdraw from the pop music circle. In any case, he himself said that the experience of pop music creators and singers over the past year are valuable gains and memories on his life growth."

As Song Ya’s spokesperson, Hamlin held a simple press conference outside the villa.

"May I ask whether his intentional withdrawal is related to the recently rumored record company dispute?" a reporter asked.

"I have no comment." Hamlin replied.

"Recently, Lori released a DISS song..."

"Uh, I won't answer these kinds of questions today, thank you for your cooperation."

"Is the symphony created by APLUS himself? As far as I know, he is less than seventeen years old. Is it too early?"

"Mozart started composing at the age of four. There is nothing early in this industry..."

After the press conference, the media received a good response, and they all began to feel sorry for Song Ya. After all, a popular singer had to leave the circle and stop playing. It was absolutely wronged by the world. For the first time, the wind direction outside began to change. Motura is disadvantageous.

"Motula forced away the talented creators, leaving only four famous songs, not one of them..."

The potential next family is also much more positive than before. BABYFACE is the first one. This time he simply visited with partner LAReid. He repeated the media remarks, "This time you made him a little embarrassed."

BABYFACE, who had a terrible victory in the battle for Donnie Breston last time, was very happy to see Motula deflated, "Can we go to school to watch your new symphony up close? If we can really cooperate, maybe we can Tuck it into the soundtrack of the movie that stole the mood."

"You LAFACE Records really want me to make thirty million?"

Song Ya felt the sincerity of the other party, but had doubts about their company's strength, "Besides, you have to help me retrieve the six singles from Motura."

"Of course you can't rely on us. At that time, Alistar Records will also participate. You know, our LAFACE Records belong to Alistar, and Whitney Houston is also signed by this record company. She is very interested in you... "BABYFACE said.

"Why don't we get in the car and talk again?" LAReid did not speak the whole time. He has been observing Song Ya silently. Compared with BABYFACE, his relationship with Motula is much better. He has cooperated many times in his career, and his current attitude is somewhat ambiguous.

"Okay, please." Song Ya set off with them to the school.

"But Alista just got a big hit, right? I remember that Milli Vanilli's group that just caused the scandal was under Alista Records." Song Ya was still worried.

"This is just a small problem. Alista Records belongs to RCA, and RCA belongs to BMG." BABYFACE patiently explained the background of its own record company. "As one of the six major record companies, you will never doubt the strength of BMG. Right?"

"Why sounds more complicated than feudal enfeoffment, the lord of my lord's lord..." Song Ya wryly smiled: "So you are also here on behalf of BMG?"

"Almost, BMG is very large, with many labels, and we can only represent our own label and Alista Records."

While chatting, a group of people came to the school and watched the nearly two-hour rehearsal. "It's very good." LAReid carefully read all Song Ya's scores. "Maybe you can also be a good player in Hollywood."

"Come on, you can all produce the original soundtracks of Hollywood blockbusters, and I only have such a small work now." Song Ya still knows that the other party is very pitiful, and this is not deliberately modest.

LAReid and BABYFACE took the time to discuss for a while, the two made a few more calls, and came back to formally put forward the terms, "Alista has 50% ownership of A+ records and ten-year distribution rights, and your five-year Two plus one is co-produced by A+ Records and LAFACE Records."

This condition was beyond Song Ya's imagination, and he immediately refused, "I'm sorry, it's a flat price, first-come, first-served, and I don't want to participate in the long-term negotiation."

"Well, let's go back and discuss it again." The two talented producers and the record company owner left disappointedly.

Later, David Geffen called on behalf of MCA Records. He asked in detail about the current situation of the competition around Song Ya and said that it is possible to make an offer at any time, but it seems that it is unlikely to match Song Ya's wishes.

"APLUS, are what you said to the media true? Are you really going to quit the pop music circle?"

In the evening, Mariah Carey also called, "You can't just give up your music career. I can't bear it anymore. I want to talk to Tommy about you."

"No, Mimi, I was just to put a little pressure on Tommy. It's purely because of business, you know, don't mix up, I know it in my heart."

Song Ya didn't want to talk about this with her, "I watched your performance of Mimi at VMA, it was so amazing, it crushed the audience... Yours also reached the top of the bulletin board, congratulations."

At the VMA party, Mariah Carey sang super difficult and surprised four people. The second master of the same name also reversed the flat sales situation and started selling all rice.Motula said nothing about her career plan, she walked steadily, step by step, and very solid.

"Yeah, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief." Mariah Carey was also relieved, "Do you really need me to talk to Tommy about you?"

"It's really not necessary, if you treat me as a friend." Song Ya could only divert the topic again, "but what's the matter with the white shirt you wore on VMA? I thought you were wearing it at first glance. The pajamas are on stage."

"Hahaha..." She was really drawn away, "It's just silk, do you think so too? I knew I didn't listen to the stylist..."

"But the black thread on the leg is very good, people can't help but want to touch it, it must feel very good..." Song Ya began to talk.

"Hey! You're still a kid, don't learn badly..." Mariah Carey didn't think so much. "No one cares about what I wear. Now all the prince's pants are discussed outside..."

"Oh, I know, I looked silly when he turned around and exposed those two holes..."

The prince wore a pair of exposed buttocks during the live performance. Two holes were hollowed out at the back of his buttocks, which happened to expose the naked buttocks. Now it has become a hot topic all over the country. VMA's tradition of doing things every year is well-known.

"Right? I didn't know what was happening outside at the backstage, I only heard many people screaming..."

The two talked on the phone for a long time before they said goodnight to each other and hung up the phone.

It seems that Motula really prepared some conspiracy for Song Ya on the VMA, because William Morris discovered that Sony Columbia Records had publicized some media in advance, and prepared to reserve a place for related reports after the VMA, but that is not important anymore, Song Ya didn't go, and all the conspiracies naturally collapsed.

On October 14, MJ’s new single; or white was released globally. This nearly four-minute song actually appeared on different occasions a few years ago. It was just a re-arrangement and improvement of the lyrics. MJ did not choose the first time. In the chart, although the momentum is still like a typhoon and tsunami, it has caused a shock in the music circle, but it does not seem to match the identity of MJ Pop King.

The lyrics are not very popular with the black community. Although MJ responded to some doubts about him in the song and his consistent anti-war and anti-racism attitude, he also said, "I don't live for a certain color in this life". It doesn't matter whether it's white', how can the black community be satisfied with this.

I don’t know what measures Sony Columbia Records has. I think Motula definitely has no energy to take care of himself in a short time. Song Ya organized a birthday party under Yeremov’s suggestion and put the All-Mi Fan Association first. The elected'leaders' were all gathered together, as well as some lucky fans in Chicago.

Although this declaration of leaving the pop music circle is a powerful blow to Motula, the negative impact is that it is easy to disperse the precious popularity that has just gathered, and a fan activity is also a means to retain core fans.

Yeremov contracted a local small theater in Chicago. About two or three hundred fans came. Song Ya was very close to them, and many people were sitting on the ground near the stage.

"This?is?definitely?the?wickedest?thing?I?ever?hear?in?my?life!"

The performance opened with Show Me The Money. Di Lai’s voice fits Song Ya’s current situation. When the fans saw Song Ya who jumped onto the stage with this sentence, they started screaming and the female fans burst into tears. He was full of face and shouted: "APLUS! Don't go! Don't leave us!"

"I will not leave you! Show?off?that?body?you?got, You?got?that?dance,?glow?so?hot, You?workin'?that,?you?twerkin'?that, You ?tickin'?that?like?a?clock......"

Song Ya hung a promise and began to sing. After the show Show Me The Money drove the audience, he sometimes used Remember The Name to express himself, sometimes I Feel It Coming to show his affection, and he kept shaking hands with the fans. Hard work.

"Very good, the effect is super!" At the end of the performance, Yeremov rubbed his hands in the dressing room excitedly. "A few of your rap songs do not lose to those rock bands in terms of stage performance."

"Hi, APLUS." Taraji walked in with the black eldest sister Big Denise who hadn't seen him for a long time.

"Hey, Denise, how about today's performance? To tell the truth." According to Yeremov's account, Song Ya has a very good attitude towards this kind of special activist among fans, and he is very careful.

"Cool man..." Denise came over and fisted Song Ya. The two of them had very different'fist techniques' because of their gang origins. One set of fist fists was done air-to-air several times, "Unfortunately, Cassiti didn't Come, otherwise she will cry and faint." Denise said regretfully to hide her embarrassment.

"By the way, why didn't Cassidy come? I heard her say that she is your right-hand man in the Chicago Fan Club..." Song Ya also remembered that he hadn't seen Cassidy at the scene.

Denise said, "It seems that something happened to his father."

"Oh?" Song Ya's eyes rolled, "What's wrong? Can I help?"

"You can't help." Denise waved her hand socially. "Her father is a black police officer in the stormtrooper. Now it is rumored that because a traitor has emerged from the police force, his father will execute one of his subordinates. , Has now been suspended for investigation."

"Wow, it's so explosive..." Song Ya's eyes lit up, "Is the source of the information reliable?"
