Chicago 1990

Not only that, after the show was broadcast, Song Ya's long-silent first single Ifeelitcoming sales trend has obviously recovered. Many listeners who support his remarks have chosen to buy singles to express their attitudes, even second-hand stores and To De Klerk. Got a good point.

　　 "Don't you think this time is a bit weird? The four major TV networks collectively reported that there are a lot of discrimination incidents all over the country, right?"

　　 Song Ya later felt something was wrong, and when she had a dinner with Mariah Carey and others, she said her thoughts.

　　 “There are a lot of discrimination incidents, but it’s rare to see such a clear shot.”

　　 David Cole flipped through the newspaper and said, "The photographer was very close to the scene of the beating, and the level of photography is good."

"In short, this matter should have a result soon. Although the Los Angeles police are still stubborn, they can't stand it. As long as normal people who have watched the video, it is impossible to stand on the side of the police regardless of black and white. Even white supremacy Do not dare to speak out at this moment."

　　 Walter said: "Now that your new APLUS order has been produced, please publish it as soon as possible. Taking advantage of the enthusiasm for no money, Mr. Motura has already asked it once."

　　 Song Ya was a little surprised, "But the MV hasn't started shooting yet?"

"That's not a rush. Many singles are released first and then supplemented with MVs. Your rememberthename is very optimistic. It will not have a one-month publicity period like Ifeelitcoming. The plan made by the publicity department lasts for several months. , In short, we will first let it appear on the shelves of major video stores." Walter replied.

　　 "Let's do it." There is no doubt about the marketing strength of Sony Columbia Records, and Song Ya agreed.

　　 "Is it a money-saving MV again this time?" Roberto Klevell asked with a smile.

"Roughly the same."

　　 Rememberthename’s original MV is not much more expensive than Ifeelitcoming, except for more people. Song Ya plans to go back to Chicago to shoot, hold a party at A+ Records, and get things done by the way.

　　 "Our propaganda department really loves you." After David Cole finished speaking, the four men all laughed.

"Ok?"

　　 Only Mariah Carey didn't smile, she was still depressed and drinking wine. The four found out that they had a good chat and left her out.

　　 "Miss Kelly, you don't have to be willing to criticize people, they are jealous." David Cole persuaded.

Since the Grammy’s five mention two, and it was a very heavyweight best newcomer and best pop female singer, during this period of time music critics began to criticize Mariah Carey. The attacks were mainly on two points. One is her. The lyrics in the song are too plain, and secondly, she thinks that behind her winning the award are Sony Columbia Records and Motura's off-disk means.

　　 There is nothing to say about these two points. Although Song Ya and her are friends, they won two awards when they participated in the Grammys for the first time. No one believed that Motura did not work hard behind his back. As for the lyrics...it’s true, but there is a reason. Most of the lyrics are done by Mariah Carey herself, in order to sing the most difficult song for her good voice, not literature. Sex is the first purpose, and it is inevitable to be simple.

But those music critics, especially the NARAS (National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences) members who are eligible to vote in Grammys, criticized each of them very unsparingly, as if they did not vote for Maria at the time. Kelly, the question is coming, and she didn't vote. How did she get the prize?

　　 The guys were put in place by Motula's public relations before the awards, and now they have begun to dismiss them.

　　 "What are those people doing?"

　　 Song Ya also said: "After you got the award, your record sales have exploded. The album and singles are rushing for 10 million, right?"

　　 "Humph." Mariah Carey hummed a little bit of contentment.

"But you can't be too obsessed with dazzling skills. The second album's same-listed songs are still going the old way of the first special. Then the group will use this to make things easier." The honest Walter poured cold water." Besides, it’s not good for your voice to keep playing this kind of song. There will always be a concert day."

　　 Mariah Carey pouted.

　　 "Walter, shut up, we know our songs in our hearts."

　　 David Cole smiled and cursed. It was written by him and Roberto Cleverville. They added Songya, and the three made Mariah Carey happy. They ended the dinner and went home separately.

Song Ya never mentioned Empire? State? of Mind. Although this song is an apocalypse when I was with Mariah Carey, if I rashly proposed that I want to sing with the other party, there are too many things involved. Up.

　　 First of all, Mariah Carey is Shinco DIVA, but it is not comparable to the status of Lori or Mila at the time. If she proposes a chorus by herself, it is easy to be misunderstood and want to take advantage.

　　Secondly, Mariah Carey’s album was basically arranged by Walt and the three of them. It is easy to cause conflicts of interests by inserting a foot in it.

Also, Mariah Carey is now in the adult lyric style. The main audience group is white. Most of them don't listen to it at all, and even hate rap music. If you can really put Empire? State? of? Mind into the other party's album. Maybe it will cause sales to fall.

In short, Song Ya hasn’t figured out how to mention this to Sony Columbia. For the time being, he intends to record an original version according to the old method, and then talk to Motula frankly, not because of a song. Sony Columbia's established network of contacts was completely ruined.

　　 But now the song is not on the agenda, he is not in a hurry.

　　 Then, after spending half a day, he, Dile and Al cooperated with the publicity department to shoot the cover of Rememberthename's single.

Mira’s movie has also been closed, but the two still can’t get together. William Morris arranged for her to take part in the protest in Los Angeles and gave her the title of affirmative pioneer that De Klerk packaged for her. It would be too stupid to not use it at this time. .

　　 Song Ya also had his own protest in Chicago to participate in, and it happened that he had to go back to shoot the MV.

　　 "Sure, so be it."

He returned the final version of the album cover in his hand to the person in charge of publicity. The black silhouettes of him, Dile and Al occupies only a small part of the picture. The background is a mottled color block on a white wall. The single name and other information are condensed in One corner, simple and recognizable. This is consistent with the style of Ifeelitcoming before. On the cover of that single is the black silhouette of him and Halle Berry embracing each other. The background color block is composed of the dim red of the sunset in the MV and the black of some strange rocks. Singles and albums in the future will also be in this style.

Then he met with Mavota, Andrew and Hunter who are going to work at A+ Records. The three of them will drive to Chicago together~www.wuxiaspot.com~ After all, the job has changed, and all the belongings in New Jersey are also You have to take it there.

　　 "Hayden has returned to Chicago, and he will help you rent the house there." Song Ya briefly confessed, then said goodbye to them and rushed to the airport with Dile and Al.

　　 "After participating in tomorrow's protests, we will start shooting the MV as soon as the crew arrives."

　　 Back downstairs at A+ Records in Chicago, Song Ya couldn't help but feel more relaxed. His work pace is always fast every time he visits New York, which is really tiring.

"Maybe you should sign one or two new singers. Every time we leave, we will be in a state where people go to the building. It is wasteful to rent a recording studio but not use it." Dile smiled and pushed down the elevator. switch.

　　 "Let's talk about it later... When the Mavota three people come to work, it will be a little too small here, maybe we will wait for a bigger place." Song Ya replied.

　　 "Old Joe Music's old equipment can't keep up with the times."

　　 reminded Al, who had seen the equipment of Columbia's recording studio.

"Yeah." Song Ya nodded, wondering if he could use the expected income from A+ records in Ifeelitcoming to borrow some money from the bank to upgrade the equipment, "Hey! The bank's money is spent well, I don't feel that I owe millions. ..."

　　 was talking, the elevator stopped on the fourth floor and the door opened.

　　 Song Ya looked up and saw two girls running towards the elevator.

　　 "Hey! APLUS! Help me stop them!" Big A once again clutched his bleeding nose and chased out from behind, shouting loudly.

　　 Song Ya frowned, so he wouldn't help Big A stop people, let alone a girl, and hurried out of the elevator.

　　 Unexpectedly, one of the girls also changed the running direction and hit him with a head.
