Chicago 1990

Chapter 66: Dinner

   "So, APLUS, is your single scheduled to be released at the end of December?"

   Mariah Carey finished chewing the vegetable salad in her mouth, took another sip of red wine and asked.

   "Yeah, this is the plan at present, if the MV shooting goes well."

   Song Ya replied that since the last ‘iron cage conflict’ incident, he hastily launched a crisis public relations. In ten days’ time, he has developed into good friends who can often have dinner with him, the kind that can talk about everything.

As for the trick, it’s very simple. Although Mariah Carey is five years older than him, she is actually a very innocent girl and a song idiot. In addition to singing, she is singing in her mind. As long as she starts from this topic, she can easily Chat, like now.

   "Ifeelitcoming……Ifeelitcoming."

She sang a couple of improvisations. To be fair, her skills are a hundred times stronger than Song Ya, who has been very hard recently. As the Atlantic Records’ Steve said, just a few words were chanted and sighed by her flowery accent. Song Ya recorded two styles.

   "Bravo! Bravo!" Song Ya applauded softly and flattered.

  The other three white men present can only clap with him. In addition to Walter, the other two are David Cole and Roberto Klevell, the producer and composer of her next album. It stands to reason that the three of them and Song Ya are all senior people in the music industry who can compose and produce. You don’t have to be so attentive to a female singer, but don’t forget her other identity, the girlfriend of the president of Sony Columbia. At any rate, it can be regarded as their half boss.

   "Huh." She triumphed and took another sip.

   "Your voice, Miss Kelly." The more straightforward Walter came forward to be a villain.

   "I know, I know, I won't drink this cup."

She put down the cup, and suddenly thought of something puffed and laughed, "It was so funny just now, the GunsN\'Roses (GunsN\'Roses, rock band guitarist), who was always at FXXX when receiving the award FXXX, AMA's face is green."

   A few people have just attended the AMA (National Music Awards) awards ceremony. When they received the award, they were drunk and kept talking swear words, which embarrassed the organizer and directly choked off the audio of the live broadcast of Quanmi.

   "Popular rock stars are all like birds." David Cole curled his lips with disdain. "And Bon Jovi (another rock band), their personal lives are all messed up."

   "We haven't collected the pellets this time." Mariah Carey lifted her hair and said casually.

   "The AMA selection method is not professional enough (according to the preferences of the audience), Grammy (selected by professionals) you have a chance." Walter hurriedly coaxed her.

   She was immediately happy, "Really? Is there really a chance?"

   "The opportunity is great, you are fully qualified to get the best newcomer, the best female pop singer is not impossible, we have Tommy." Roberto Clerville said.

   "Yeah, Mr. Motura is omnipotent."

   Song Ya did not let go of any chance of flattering. Even if the target person was not present, he raised his glass and said, "We respect Mr. Motura." Then he gestured to Mariah Carey, "Also to you, Miss Carey."

   Everyone clinked glasses and drank a round, and Walter laughed and said, "APLUS, where did you learn this set, aren't you a kid from the slums of Chicago?"

   "I'm an alternative, I have good character and academics, and I often participate in equal rights activities." Of course, Song Ya will not forget to brag about himself, "I went to South Africa a few months ago and took a photo with Mr. Mandela."

   "Boy, you are very nice."

   Being able to sit and have a dinner together, everyone naturally appreciates each other, David Cole said: "Your poem to De Klerk is about South Africa, right?"

   "Daniel's marketing tactics of the South African government on that song is also a must." Walter boasted.

"Ahem." Roberto Clever coughed dryly and turned the topic to Song Ya's MV shooting. "I saw the MV shooting plan of Ifeelitcoming. Is it necessary to be so simple? No need to save money for our Columbia. "

   In this era, MV shooting is just a means of publicity for the song, and the distributor is responsible for the cost.

Song Ya naturally doesn’t say that the original version is like this. “I personally don’t like that kind of extravagant MV. The MV to De Klerk is also my idea. The camera follows Mila all the way to shoot, even after listening to the song. , The response is pretty good."

   "It's also a concept, but don't say this to the media, lest you be overplayed by them and imply that you mean something." Walter reminded.

   "Uh...I see, thank you, Walter."

   The MJ brothers and sisters have always taken the path of making big music videos, and MJ is the number one on Columbia Records. Song Ya understands that his words are indeed easy to be interpreted by the media.

   Roberto Clavier asked: "Where is the heroine? Are you sure?"

   "Nothing." Song Ya looked at Mariah Carey, "Ms. Carey would like to be the heroine of my MV? You are the most beautiful woman among my friends..."

   "Hahaha...thank you." The other party was so happy.

   "Miss Kelly can't do it, List (privately named according to the level of celebrity big names, Wanwan has a word for coffee, which means) is wrong."

   Walter is afraid that Mariah Carey agrees, "APLUS you can find a young female singer or actress with C-List or below. If you are a model, you can increase to B-List."

   "Do you have any recommendations?" Mira is from SBK and cannot participate in the Colombian MV. Song Ya doesn't want to repeat all the mistakes that offended people during the audition last time.

   "Our South American branch is pushing a Latin girl singer named Shakira."

   Roberto Clerville mentioned a name, and it seems that he provoked the topic with a purpose.

"Shakira can't do it?" Walter questioned, "APLUS is a little bit of color. Shakira is only fourteen years old and she is a minor ~www.wuxiaspot.com~." Roberto Clerville Accepted Walter's statement.

   The four men exchanged glances, and there are no suitable candidates. It seems that the relationship between men and women of Columbia executives is much simpler than that of SBK.

   "APLUS, you decide on your own." Roberto Klevell said: "Do you need us to do an audition for you?"

   "I don't want to offend a large number of brokers again."

   Song Ya didn't want to cause trouble anymore, and quickly refused. Seeing the unintelligible eyes of several people present, he realized that the other party might not have cared about the internal affairs of SBK, so he described the predicament of the last audition again.

"This kind of thing is inevitable in New York. As long as there is business to do, those agents will come back." David Cole laughed: "Since you are afraid of dealing with them, hurry up and settle the heroine, a low-cost MV only."

   After the dinner, several people left this high-end French restaurant and went home.

   Mariah Carey is now configured for A-List, and the bodyguards and assistants hurriedly left through the back door of the restaurant.

   Song Ya returned to the hotel and remembered the girl she had met in South Africa. Unfortunately, she and her agent had not actively contacted them, and then forgot to ask for their contact information. The clue was completely interrupted.

   After thinking about it, he picked up the phone and called Hayden.

   "Doesn't the New York black music circle have an opinion on you? This time using one of their people will just repair the relationship?" Hayden gave a very good idea.

   "That's right, but who am I looking for?" There is no big guy or the like in the New York black music scene, and Song Ya is worried.

   Very coincidentally, someone gave pillows while dozing off, and the black executive Steve from Atlantic Records called the hotel.
