Chicago 1990
Chapter 275 BET Interview
The current commander, Song Ya, knew a little bit about him. He was born in a Wall Street banker family, his father was a senator, and he was closely related to the Rockefeller and Morgan consortium.His wife came from a famous door on the East Coast. The couple’s ancestors can be traced back to one of the 102 passengers of the Mayflower, a typical blue blood (derived from the blue veins clearly visible on the snow-white arm of the Spanish royal family, It was later used as a metaphor for someone with extraordinary blood) Bumblebee (WASP: white, Anglo-Saxon, Presbyterian)' family background.According to the statistics of the publication "Social Directory", until this year, there were only more than 20,000 Blue Blood Hornets in all meters, all of whom have names and surnames, and have genealogy to check.
The husband and wife are very far away from ordinary people. Not to mention the prices of some mass consumer goods, and sometimes they can’t even name them. However, the two of them like to pretend to be close to the people, so they naturally made a lot of jokes.For example, when he returned from the post of ambassador to China, someone asked him, have you talked with ordinary people in China?
He replied: "Of course we talked."
What have you talked about?
"Please pick up my tennis ball."
"..."
He also served as the director of the CIA, so Song Ya deleted the CIA from the lyrics.
In contrast, the father of the highly anticipated Donkey Party candidate for the governor of Arkansas is just an ordinary salesman. He has also done a good job in the Arkansas economy during his tenure. As Donkey Party primaries move forward, he has become more and more. Liked by ordinary people who are dissatisfied with the current economic situation.However, this guy always attacks the current commander's policy toward China as being too "weak," and has repeatedly claimed that once elected, China's MFN status will be cancelled.
Although the upper-level relationship comes from the donkey party, Song Ya is not too cold with the governor in terms of personal feelings and business interests.
Of course, he cannot control this level of situation, and it is not the time to think about politics. "Has Yeremov not finished communicating with BET?" He only cares about how to promote Where Is The Love as soon as possible.
"The communication passed, news host Gordon went to Los Angeles, BET promised to broadcast Where Is The Love after his special report, just like FOX." A staff member replied.
"That's it?" Song Ya was a little dissatisfied. His relationship with BET was much closer than FOX. How could BET also be the black TV station.
"Uh..." another employee said embarrassingly, "Gordon will also do interviews with the chief in the past two days. I may not have much time for you, boss."
"Oh, forget it then."
It seems that the general leader is now dedicated to comforting the black community, and is even willing to do interviews with small cable stations with low coverage, just because BET is a black TV station.
"I didn't expect BET to get such a large resource." The staff exclaimed: "After this incident, their subscribers are estimated to increase significantly."
"Humph." Song Yaxin said that it's no wonder that Johnson has started the Rodney King trial a long time ago, and even as the owner of a listed company on the New York Stock Exchange, he still does not hesitate to seek intimidation and temptation himself.
"Hey, APLUS."
Leon Wilson and Common Sense appeared at the door, and they were very positive about the recording work of Where Is The Love.
In fact, Common Sense's rap level is much higher than Al, but Song Ya still gave Al the RAP part of the last part of the song. After all, Al has been diligent with himself for so many years.
"Taraji, go and wake Fergie."
Song Ya himself went to the small recording studio to hang her voice. The singer in the chorus part of the original version did not appear to appear in the MV, but the timbre type is similar to the original singers such as I Feel It Coming and Feel It Still, and it is far less difficult than Want. to Want Me, he can handle it easily.
"1234..."
In the morning, all the signed singers of A+ Records gathered in the Deep Sea Recording Studio. Dion Wilson was outside counting the beats, "What's wrong with the world, mama? People livin' like they ain't got no mamas......"
Song Ya pressed the monitor earphones with both hands and sang along with the accompaniment. The first segment was basically his. Dile and Common Sense divided the second segment, Al's third segment, Fergie maintained her In the part of the original song, a camera was placed in the corner of the recording studio, and a photographer was watching and silently recording the historical scene of the song's birth.
"Take a break, everyone." When Dion Wilson announced the rest, everyone's voices were a little dry, Song Ya looked up and it was noon.
Taraji had prepared the pizza, and boxes were stacked in the control room.
"APLUS."
Taking advantage of the opportunity to replenish their stamina, Dile and Al came over, "Shall we talk?"
The three of people entered the office and closed the door, "I'm sorry APLUS, I had a lot of problems this morning." Al said with shame.
Indeed, the progress in the morning was basically slowed by him.
"It's okay Al, take care of your emotions, complain, be confused, and interrogate." Song Ya patted him on the shoulder carelessly, "You are my brother, do you think I will sing a lot of lyrics to the new guy? and It’s the same with Remember The Name, you performed well in that song, uh, at least better than Dile..."
Dile laughed.
"We have to help Al find a way to Dilei." Song Ya said to him.
"Shall we help out at the end of the sentence?" Before coming, Dile should have discussed with Al.
"Yes, let's yell more for Al." Song Ya nodded and agreed.
The two were completely relieved. At this time, the door was knocked, "Come in." Taraji and the publicity department pushed the door and walked in. "A recent special report by BET."
In this special report called'Black Men Speak Out: The Aftermath', Gordon, the host of BET, visited the front line of Los Angeles and analyzed everything that happened there, poverty and drugs in the black community as a black. , The problem of the proliferation of guns, the reasons for the contradictions of various ethnic groups, the various improper behaviors of the white law enforcement agencies before and after the riots, and the good things that moved people's hearts during the riots.
Basically, the report revealed that ethnic conflicts have been in existence for a long time, and the outbreak of black hatred is not without cause. Local white law enforcement agencies are the main culprit, such as what they did before and after the Rodney King case and shortly after the riots. They chose to abandon the governance of some ordinary neighborhoods and arrange the police force on the roads leading to Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and some wealthy areas, etc... Finally, fortunately, the commander’s emergency response was very timely, and now the riots have been resolved. control.
"Let's end this special report with the singing of APLUS and his companions! At the same time, please look forward to the special program that I will bring to you tomorrow: In-depth dialogue with the leader."
After Gordon finished speaking, a video of Clark Street and Song Yagao singing Where Is The Love appeared on the TV again.
"The effect of this episode is very good, much better than the blunt FOX." An employee of the publicity department said: "This Gordon is a very good media person."
"BET's stock is going to rise sharply, why didn't I expect to buy some in advance?" Song Ya was thinking about this.
Before long, BET boss Johnson called.
"APLUS, go to Los Angeles tomorrow? The chief wants to shake your hand and chat with you, in front of the TV camera." Johnson said.
"Uh... forget it Johnson, don't make me embarrassing, you know, that would embarrass me."
It’s okay for a song to be used by the Elephant Party to publicize it. I am going on the same stage with the leader at this time?That is almost tantamount to endorsing the other party's election campaign. All the donkey party relations in Song Ya would not be happy to see this'rebellion to the enemy' behavior. He distinguished the importance.
"Well, your song is very good. It will be popular all over the country. We will strengthen our cooperation in the future and leave us an exclusive interview when your album is announced." Johnson did not force it, "Also, one is named Liu John’s New Roman lawyer asked me for your contact information. He may visit you in a few days."
"The interview is okay, lawyer Xin Luo Yi? Is there anything he wants me to do?" Song Ya asked.
"Express your gratitude or something. He will give you some small honors on behalf of the New Romans. I heard that there are also some New Romans living in Clark Street, and your songs have helped to calm the situation in Los Angeles." Johnson added one last sentence, "He is not an ordinary practicing lawyer, but a legal expert. He has a very good relationship with the top leaders of the Elephant Party, especially Cheney."
"Mr. Secretary of Defense? Okay, I see, I will entertain him."
