Chicago 1990
Chapter 233: Finalist Grammy
There are many people participating in this MTV unplugged concert. In addition to the pianist and other musicians, there are also a dozen chords, one or two heavy backing vocals. Mariah Carey is very busy and the studio people With people coming and going, Song Ya couldn't find a good opportunity to be alone.
‘The Amerika magazine dispute is a bit unexpected. It is like a splendid and anticipated chapter that ends in a hurry after a good start. As the Littman Group announced the transfer of the magazine to a new company formed by the new singer APLUS original magazine editor-in-chief Shirley Fleming and Def Records owner Rick Rubin, both parties to the incident suddenly fell silent and faced reporters’ requests for interviews. The main figures of the winning side refused without exception. ’
'And the two recording industry leaders, Quincy Jones and Russell Simmons, also accepted the failure. They said that the reason for the failure of the bid has nothing to do with money, but found that this century-old magazine could not afford their New ideas and plans. ’
‘They announced that they will not give up their efforts to enter the publishing industry. Soon, a brand new magazine: VIBE will be available... This magazine will focus on hip-hop, rhythm and blues and other music forms and trends in the times. ’
Tribeca, in a very old multi-story building, "This is the new office of Amerika Music."
Song Ya kicked a broken piece of wood on the ground to the corner, and a thick mark was drawn on the wooden floor.
"Ahem." Shirley Fleming covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief. "It's alright, let's go out. It's too dirty here."
"It doesn't matter, Ms. Fleming, if the start-up funds are in place, simply clean up and renovate."
Song Ya held back her smile and walked out with her elbow, "I promise you will be a very good office place next time you come."
The magazine’s 500,000 start-up capital will be allocated by the equity. Song Ya will spend 250,000. The magazine will be published as a monthly publication. "I will let the deputy editor-in-chief look at the decoration. You can rest assured. Up."
"Huh huh?" The deputy editor-in-chief is a professional that Song Ya recruited from Chicago through a headhunting company. Shirley Fleming was very vigilant. "All office layouts must be approved by me before construction can be carried out."
"Of course, that's for sure."
Song Ya smiled and said, "The weather in New York has been very cold recently. I'm afraid you will be too **** your trip, Ms. Fleming."
Shirley Fleming shook off his support and said, "I can still keep an eye on my body. By the way, APLUS, what advice do you have for the first issue of the magazine in 1992?"
"The cover has to be changed. The boring live photos of the gray-haired performer or conductor are too rushing. Perhaps we can focus on relatively young artists."
Song Ya said: "Miss Saigon’s heroine Leia Salonga is very suitable. She is young, beautiful, Asian, and has won a Tony Award. Maybe there will be a large-scale interview with her on the inside page. Like to watch, the style is also good. What do you think of Ms. Fleming?"
Last time Song Ya saw that Shirley Fleming liked the heroine of the musical very much and took the initiative to do what she liked. In the early stage, he did not want to have a big disagreement with the other party.
"I think so, her personal experience is very inspirational."
Shirley Fleming walked to the car and said, "At that time, I will let someone invite her. I hope that the deputy editor you choose will not slow me down. Also, you have to remind Rick Rubin, I heard about him At a high-end banquet in New York, I am the owner of American Music Magazine."
"Haha, he is indeed the boss, but it's just one of them. Well, I will say hello to him. As for the deputy editor, I will also ask him to visit you in the Upper East Side as soon as possible."
Song Ya watched Shirley Fleming and her personal consultant get in the car and leave, "In any case, I now have my own mouthpiece, and it is a classic magazine with a history of over a hundred years, and the style is also very high." He said to the sea around him. Den said.
"Yes, and the audience will give you a certain influence during the awards season."
Hayden was also very satisfied, with a smile on his face, "If it weren't for Litman tossing like this, you might not get such a high-profile magazine so quickly."
"It's not that the guy is not making money, but it's not bad. Why didn't he agree to the 12 million bid of Quincy Jones and Russell Simmons?"
This doubt has been lingering in Song Ya's heart.
"Who knows what the tycoon really thinks?"
Hayden is also not clear, "Maybe you can play more golf with him in the future, but Rick Rubin's personal relationship, and Shirley Fleming and her friends must have played a decisive role. "
"Come on, I can't play that stuff."
Although the rich people in the U.S. are very keen on that sport, except for the sports world, other celebrities in the black class are sometimes considered to be sharpening their heads and drilling into the white class, and Song Ya doesn’t like that. Experience, played with Jordan once and was involved in the gambling storm, the experience playing with Litman was not very good, and the loss was too bad.
In mid-January, Fujibee gave the 1991 singer chart. Song Ya ranked 17th on the singer chart for more than 30 million years. The front is all MJ brothers and sisters, Madonna, Garth Brooks, Paula, and Gun. Superstars such as the Flower Band, Mariah Carey, the Wilson Sisters and Phillips.
"Now the media treats you with an A-list rating. I didn't expect you to gain this position not by music, but by the speed of making money."
Hayden urged: "Your album seems to be only two songs away, do you really have to wait? Or put that pure music in."
"No, in that case, the music styles on the album are too different."
Song Ya is not in a hurry. After all, under the super heat of MJ, it is not the right time to post a special. "Walt told me that listeners often play music albums under specific scenes or emotions, such as driving. At times, white people would listen to the country, black people would listen to hip-hop or rhythm and blues, and when they were broken in love, people would play some sad love songs and so on, and I..."
Showmethemoney, The is a hip-hop rap with a strong rhythm, ihateuiloveu is a sad love song, sad but the lyrics are a little yellow, the lyrics of the trumpet are also a little yellow but very cheerful, FeelItStill has a beautiful melody but an equal right song, plus a very special style of EmpireStateofMind, he Apocalypse’s song style is too messy~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This is not a good strategy to attract buyers.
"it's OK."
Hayden said: "Your song wins by quality. As long as you cooperate with various awards and publicity methods, I don't think American listeners will mind accepting one at home."
The two returned to Tribeca, Yeremov told Song Ya that he was nominated for the Grammy Awards for Best RAP Singer, and his main opponent was the top figure of DefJam Records. No way, there are only two RAP awards, and the other Best RAP Combination Award is considered by the jury to not belong to a rap group because of the low status of Song Ya to Dile and Al in The Middle.
He and Mariah Carey’s Empire State of Mind were nominated for the single of the year.
"What I said, even if the purchase of the magazine gave way to Russell Simmons, this time the other party will not send the Grammy to me at all. The struggle will not stop for a moment and will continue forever."
Song Ya called Babyface and Steven again to canvass for himself.
The two agreed very happily. After all, they had already agreed in the last transaction, but Song Ya keenly sensed the change in their tone. Last time they promised to use their influence to help, but this time they agreed. Said that he would vote for himself, nothing more. It seems that Quincy Jones and Russell Simmons are secretly exerting their influence in the black music circle.
"Didn't Shirley Fleming promise that you would help during the awards season?"
Hayden reminded.
"Does it really depend on white people to win RAP awards?"
Song Ya pondered for a while, "FXXK, don't care about him, it's all about voting anyway, after all, there are more people than anyone else." He called Shirley Fleming.
