Chicago 1990

"1234, 2234..."

In a blink of an eye, I came to a large dance studio in Chicago in late September. Song Ya has already started to practice with the concert dance group. His first album of the same name so far, the second album of '21' and the dance of my life soundtrack total three. In this album, there are not many songs suitable for singing and dancing, and fewer songs and dances are needed, and the task is not too heavy.

Hip-hop songs such as, WhereIsTheLove, WhateverYouLike, IgottaFeeling, etc. generally choose DJ plus musicians plus MC (in hip-hop culture, people who just helped DJing DJ at the beginning yelled some momentum to help, and later specifically referred to rappers who wrote lyrics and performed in person) Adding Feat is a way of cooperating singers and gang singers all on the battlefield.There will not be few people on stage at that time, and with the sound and light special effects of the stage, there is no problem with a gang of old blacks making the atmosphere lively.

Then, slow song love songs like BeautifulGirls, SayGoodbye, etc. will use him to stand in front of a vertical microphone. The band and backing group are at the far end, and the dance group dances from the side without rehearsing with the team.

So the co-training mainly focused on the two songs of Chu Tianqi from the very good black man: Trumpets and Trumpets. Now the songs played in the dance studio are Trumpets.

"OK, here, APLUS, you must synchronize with the dance group's movements during the concert, and continue! 1234..."

Under the loud command of Wuzhi slapped and slapped, several male dancers walked forward while performing dance moves, just in the gap between the singing passages and Song Ya, Song Ya immediately pulled the microphone from the stand Come down, stretch your arms, kick your legs, and dance in sync with them.

He practiced for a while during the filming of Dancing Out of My Life, and the movements designed by Dancing Fingers are mainly street dancing, which is easy to pick up.

"Very good, very good! This is it!" Wu Zhi shouted.

Song Ya's body was short in response, supported by strong arms, and performed a complex floor movement. This is the most difficult dance part in his concert and one of the emotional heights of the audience designed by the director.

It was a slight improvement on the basis of the last dance scene in my life. He did a good job. After the set was over, everyone in the dance studio began to scream and cheer for him.

"Wow, beautiful! APLUS!"

Sony Columbia Records President Daniel, concert organizer Anschutz Performing Arts Company executives, concert director and producer and other creators, as well as Dile, Al, Yeremov, Linda, Hayden and others all sat on the wall of the dance studio They applauded for a long time, and Dile also blew a loud whistle.

"call!"

The rehearsal intensity is still very high, a little tired, Song Ya smiled on the floor in response to them while panting, and then got up after a while.

"Come here today, we have arrangements for the evening." Daniel looked at his watch and stood up and said.

"OK, I'm here today." Wu nodded, "Tomorrow will be APLUS at this time, everyone else! Go on!"

"Wait for me to rush first."

The cat and mouse game is going to be screened in Chicago tonight, because there are still two months left before the Thanksgiving holiday schedule. This early screening is not for ordinary audiences. It's just one, in a single-hall art theater in Chicago. Entertain professionals such as members of the Chicago Film Critics Association.

Hollywood Pictures President Linton led the director Ridley Scott and other crew chiefs to public relations with local professional film critics in Los Angeles. Harvey Weinstein led the team in New York, and he invited Paul Allen, who has a good relationship. , Spike Lee and other famous New York gang leaders.Old Larry and Stanbulakhitch will also show up to help.

These public relations activities are all for the film's momentum and awards, not too many.

"Yelemov, how much did you spend on Roger Albert? Is there two hundred and fifty thousand?"

Before attending the screening, the group went to a high-end restaurant for dinner, Daniel asked during the dinner.

He is not a person in the film industry, but he knows a lot of insiders. The price is as good as eight or nine. That own Chicago University alumnus, Chicago and even the most famous film critic in Chicago, have always dared to accept it. Yeremov I sent a large consumption card for the Los Angeles Country Golf Club, as well as some great hospitality in luxury hotels and vacations.

"Excuse me for nothing to comment." Yeremov certainly wouldn't admit it, and he took a sip of wine with a smile on his face.

"APLUS, the soundtrack of the cat and mouse game is good, but the sequel to my life is almost meaningless."

Daniel did not get the bottom line. He said to Song Ya: "But the sales should not be too high. There are too many pure music in the original soundtrack of the cat and mouse game, and it is still in the 1940s style."

"Well, I am prepared."

Cat and Mouse game soundtrack, A+ Records won the re-distribution rights of those old songs according to the original songs of the Apocalypse. After he roughly produced a simple melody for the pure music, he gave it to professional Hollywood orchestral composers and soundtracks, old songs Most of it is the rock music of the 1960s where the story took place. Pure music imitated the witty style of the 1940s red animated series Cat and Mouse. Now that kind of pure music, no one will buy it home and listen to it. There is still sales revenue. A large part of it will be allocated to the songwriters of the old rock songs and the music copyright company that owns the song. Together, he and Daniel are not motivated to promote the original soundtrack.

Song Ya has no apocalypse in the sequel to dance my life. The investors are very mixed. In addition, it is a youth idol drama of white high school students. He is very busy and has no motivation to polish it.A+ Records filled the first and second colleges. He reflected that YoungDumb who graduated from high school, and then the weak singles of Fergie and Brenda in the new college, and then invited some songs from friends such as Babyface. The quality is average and it is already very popular. Donnie Breston also has a favor, which is also the weak single in her album.

"By the way, look at this APLUS." Dile wiped his mouth, took out an HP laptop from his bag and opened it on the dining table.

"Mr. President, do you have to do this in a French restaurant?"

Al was chewing steak beside him and complained: "It's better to worry about whether you can come on stage to sing with us."

"Don't worry, I haven't lost my old craftsmanship." Having gained a lot of weight, Dilei, in a suit and leather shoes, exaggeratedly gesticulated a few hip-hop gestures.

Song Ya and the others in the room were amused by him.

But he himself was not happy. After the laptop started slowly, he opened a program on the Windows 95 desktop, and then Song Ya's singing came out.

"Tape?" Daniel asked. Most of the people here are music connoisseurs. The sound quality is terrible at first ear, and it certainly won't be a CD.

"No, a playing program, called, just a few days ago."

Dile took out Sony's Walkman headset and plugged it in, "Listen carefully, the sound quality is not as good as CD or MD, but not worse than tape."

Daniel listened for half a minute, then handed the earphones to Song Ya, and asked Dilei while he was listening, "The medium is..."

"Data files are just like those in CDs, but much smaller. They can be easily distributed and downloaded via the Internet, and listened to on their personal computers." Dile replied: "What is the MP3 compression format? "

"Does it have anything to do with the MPEG1 format of VCD?" Song Ya asked after listening, "It's really good, it loses a lot of details, but if you are not a professional musician, I don't think it will feel much."

"Of course, MP3 is the third-generation compression coding standard." Dile replied.

Song Ya shrugged and looked at Daniel. The emotions in their eyes were a bit bad. Originally, the pressure of tape transcription and CD piracy made the recording industry more and more difficult. Now this thing can be passed more freely. The faster spreading internet...

"My people seem to have talked about this yesterday, but they haven't had time to see it personally. Find a professional to ask about APLUS. I will go back to New York tomorrow and have a meeting to see if I can unite several major record companies through legal means. deal with."

Daniel said.
