Chicago 1990

"Hey! APLUS, how is it? Is it going well? Have you seen the music video?"

Just after shooting this set of shots, the girls’ boss, Matthew Norris, appeared again at the right time. His life experience was similar to Mariah Carey’s father, and he was considered a highly educated black elite. Mariah Carey’s father was in Houston. As an aeronautical engineer, he used to work for Xerox’s medical equipment department in Houston. Beyoncé was selected by a local children’s TV show when she was eight years old, and she began to focus her career on the recording industry and artist management.

The difference between the two is that Mariah Carey’s father is basically indifferent to his children, while he is on the contrary, staring at him the whole time, and firmly controls Beyoncé and the other girls’ food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. Girls want to do anything. After he nodded in agreement.

The desire to control is stronger, but it’s good for the black father to be able to do so. Song Ya has a good impression of this middle-aged black man with glasses, but...

Just a little good at camping, Song Ya saw his cousin Emily behind him.

This guy found a chance at the Bateford Hills party to fool Emily, who was already a sixteen-year-old girl. Emily liked to sing, but he was persuaded to make a debut.

"I've seen it, it's great, Beyoncé covers Mimi's Hero, I really like it."

Song Ya knows what he is playing. Pay attention to the fact that the Destiny True Girl group lost their source of income after being terminated by Erica Records. The income of the MV heroine cannot solve this imminent problem. What is urgently needed now is to get the contract of the new record company.He probably also knows that A+ Records is not very interested in signing the Destiny Girl, so he wants to take the circuitous route of his family and fool Emily into the group first, so he can still not sign?

"Emily, why are you here?" Song Ya asked.

"I'm here to visit the class."

Emily is now a true princess. She was only ten years old when she passed through. After that, with her rapid fame, she basically lived the life of a typical rich girl and celebrity relatives throughout her adolescence. She was well protected and raised. It's okay, I don't know what sorrow is, "Beyonce, Kelly, hey..." She greeted the girls two years younger than her friendly.

Emily’s singing talent can only be regarded as good among ordinary people, and her body shape developed early in the direction of Aunt Susie's bucket, and her personal image was very different from the four destined women.

"Matthew..."

Song Ya gave Matthew Norris a warning look, "You may not know, I don't like my family members being urged."

"No, no, you are misunderstood, I just... think Emily has a really good talent, so I said a few more words."

Matthew Norris quickly dismissed, "If you mind..."

"I mind." Song Ya said, "Emily is going to college."

"I can't study well, Alex." Emily pursed her lips and said, "I prefer to sing. Maybe I can spend some time with Beyoncé, at least this summer vacation. Okay?"

"Uh……"

Song Ya scratched her head embarrassedly: "Does Aunt Susie know? Where is Connie?"

"Mom is very supportive of me, Connie... She has spent all her energy on changing her boyfriend." Emily replied.

"Huh? Where's that dancer?"

"Is it a former ex? You were changed last time at your wedding. You have become less and less concerned about your family in the past two years."

"I'm very busy... Linda."

Song Ya was a little bit embarrassed. Seeing Linda appearing at the door, she beckoned and called her to the villa to chat alone, "Emily wants to stay with Beyonce and the others for a while, what do you think?"

"Yes, Matthew Norris is very strict with the girls." Linda replied.

"The president of Universal Records said he likes to mess with flowers, and that guy is using Emily." Song Ya expressed his worry.

"He's not the kind of Nger who targets minors. As for using... he's a little desperate now, and Emily's own wishes are the most important thing. He just follows Emily's words. He and my husband have done it before. Yes, my husband knows him. And..."

Linda reminded: "I just came back from DefJam Records. President Lyle Cohen reacted very quickly. The people at PolyGram have already negotiated with Daniel in private. If the deal is negotiated... You also know that the little girl FoxyBrown is helping us. There is a lot of noise inside DefJam. When you exit, she will definitely be retaliated by DefJam up and down. Freezing is all light. No matter what considerations, we cannot treat her badly."

"what do you mean……"

"Maid of Destiny used to have six people in the lineup." Linda looked at the four girls who were talking and laughing with Emily next to Lincoln.

"Sign?" Song Ya understood her intention.

"Those girls have good singing skills, and Beyoncé has a good image and can be qualified for the C position. Emily has no problem mixing with them. FoxyBrown is responsible for the rap part. This is also the mainstream configuration of black girl groups now, just like TLC. "

Linda did not answer positively, but the tendency was very clear, and there was already a very rough plan.

"But TLC has too many follow suits, and this market is saturated." Song Ya said.

"Comeon! APLUS, A+ records can afford a girl group that doesn't make money." Linda smiled helplessly.

"But then Emily will make her debut. I don't want to let her family enter the entertainment circle." Song Ya mainly struggled with this.

Linda warned: "You have to be more cautious, Emily is in the rebellious period, too much control will be counterproductive."

"Okay, okay, just as you designed, go talk to Matthew. Then... let your husband be Emily's agent, and guard against Matthew."

Song Ya thought for a while and nodded in agreement, "Are you here to do anything else?"

"Sony Columbia Records has completed the first draft of your new album 21 cover."

Linda took out a cover design draft from her bag, with black and gold as the main color, her upper body photo occupies most of the layout, inside her forty-five degrees side facing the camera, wearing an A+ brand T-shirt, holding in one hand With a stack of green rice knives and a bottle of Grey Goose vodka in one hand, he lowered his head with a smile and twisted his body. There is no shortage of gold chains, gold watches, and gold rings, and it is full of show-off temperament.

"The ultimate hedonistic theme you asked for." Linda said.

"not bad."

Grey Goose Vodka has not been produced yet, but the bottle has been set up early. The wine bottle in the photo is filled with water. It is colorless and transparent like vodka anyway.This meaning corresponds to the album title 21, because young Americans are not allowed to buy and drink alcoholic beverages publicly until they are 21 years old. When the album is released, they just celebrate their 21st birthday.

"Is the intention to bring the goods a bit obvious?" Linda asked.

"Hip-hop singers are justified and don't need to be as secretive as other music circles."

Song Ya took a closer look again, and became more satisfied as he looked at it, "I have expressed everything I want to express. Very good. Let Sony Columbia Records use this cover."

I have piles of money, bullet glasses and ice, MV shooting continues. Song Ya doesn’t have to show affectionate expressions to Kelly Rowland. It’s so straightforward and rough for rich people to pick up girls. He is always in front of the camera. He raised his head slightly and looked down at the girl who had no scheming in front of him with a sense of looking down and proud, who had been completely stunned by the extravagant life and luxurious gifts.

The girl loves the one-hundred-dollar tip he handed over at the fast food restaurant, loves the phone number he secretly left, loves to be taken by him to the luxury jewelry store, is surrounded by all the clerks, and loves to come by the jeweller who serves celebrities I send you a custom diamond necklace that I can choose, I can go to another city to watch a musical, I love a private jet, I love luxury cars, I love a swimming pool with a fountain, I love a big villa with invincible sea views, I love you Enjoying a candlelight dinner served by an English waiter on the antique long table, loves this man who is far away from the table, the sudden life is like a dream, she is caught in a sudden and extremely dreamy paradise, I thought it would be permanent.

And men look at all this indifferently and with rich experience. I can give you whatever you want, and I can give you whatever you want. Money is not a problem. No matter how valuable a gift is, it’s just a leak from your fingers. A little bit, but sooner or later he gets tired of the woman in front of him, maybe tomorrow.

Kelly Rowland didn't need to act, she suddenly changed from the unnamed singer who was terminated to the heroine in the superstar MV. She was in just right shape.

He doesn't need to...

"Hello, Amy, are you still in Europe? The media didn't criticize you anymore, did they? Come back with Fergie? It's in New York? What a coincidence... Maybe we can get together? Just tomorrow? "
