Chapter 308: SNL

"APLUS, YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR SHOULD BE STRENGTHENED."

After recording the Saturday Night Live (SNL) on NBC as a guest, the program director complained unhappily when he came out with him: "Celebrities still have to have a little fun on our show, otherwise it will not be easy to shine, and the audience will think that you are on the shelf." ”

"I'm sorry, my agent advised me to be cautious, I'm only seventeen years old and I'm afraid of saying the wrong thing."

The old trick, Song Ya put all the responsibility on Hayden.

"You? Saying the wrong thing? I might as well believe that King George would have said the wrong thing. ”

"Are you complimenting me?"

“NO!” The other party couldn't bear it anymore and said loudly: "We want the effect of the show!" ”

"Uh, sorry, I'll be a little better prepared next time."

"Next time?" The other party sneered and stretched out his hand.

I feel that there is no next time, Song Ya can only shake hands with him and leave, SNL's ratings and influence in the United States are very high, the average rating of the last season is 12.37%, the column director is not a small role, this show is still the cradle of comedy stars, and it is from here that Eddie Murphy became famous and transferred to Hollywood.

"I feel like you'll have to learn how to be on the show from Snoop Dogg, he's just a newcomer, and you've been debuting for two years." Yeremov was also not very satisfied.

"SNL's style is too spoofed, and I don't fit in." Song Ya sat in the car.

"The most important thing for celebrities to come here is not to take care of the image, and the audience doesn't think that you have anything to play unrestrained on this kind of show, your episode may be worse than the episode of Little Lowry and Old Jona!"

Yeremov kept nagging, "I hope they can edit it a little better." ”

In early August, Beautiful Girls premiered on MTV, and a single disc containing three singing styles and a remixed version of dance music was also released, and Sony Columbia Records won Song Ya the opportunity to participate in SNL, but it seems that she was screwed up.

The next night, SNL aired on time, and because of the blessing of the popular singer APLUS, the ratings of the opening period rushed to 15% in one fell swoop.

"APLUS, WELCOME." The host stood on the SNL stage to interview Song Ya.

"Hello." Song Ya grimaced.

"Wow, I just remember now that you're a high school student." The host began to ridicule Song Ya's dress.

Bright sports jacket, Chinese character element T-shirt and a simple pair of jeans, this time Song Ya did not wear a gold three-piece suit, it is indeed an ordinary high school student dress.

"Yes." Song Ya said with a smile.

"I heard you skipped twelfth grade and are going to the University of Chicago next semester?" The moderator asked.

"Yes, next spring." Song Ya replied.

"Then I'm going to test you." The host posed as if he was going to be tested, and then a basketball rolled in from outside the TV screen, and he picked it up, and the audience began to laugh wildly.

"I thought you were going to take a math test or something." Song Ya also smiled.

"Mathematics? Who would want to see math on our show? The host said, and the audience laughed again. He handed the basketball to Song Ya, "Come on, show us a few moves, you are of good height, can you dunk?" ”

"Uh, I'll try." Song Ya picked up the basketball.

"Wow! He picked it up, and he picked it up with one hand! The host screamed in a funny tone.

"It's nothing, is it?" Song Ya straightened her arm and waved the basketball in one hand a few times.

"It's amazing." A fixed actor dressed as an ugly man walked into the stage with a simple plastic basketball hoop.

Of course, the height is much lower than the standard basketball hoop, Song Ya began to try to slam the dunk, the guy kept moving the basketball hoop to make Song Ya dunk failed, and after making some show effects, Song Ya finally poured one, and then learned Jordan to stick out his tongue and rush to the camera to celebrate, but soon the style of painting changed, and Song Ya's tongue began to circle against the TV camera......

The male and female audience members at the scene immediately let out a strange laugh.

At this point, the ratings of the show rushed to the highest 16.7, and after the dunk performance, the host took out a 100-yuan bill, "Good job, APLUS, for you." ”

This is a meme from Lori Jr.'s MV, and the audience laughs again.

"Didn't I tell SNL to cut this one?" Song Ya said unhappily to Yeremov.

"I informed, but they are SNL." Yeremov couldn't help it either.

"Uh......" The face of the self in the TV camera has obviously changed.

"Take it, take it, take it......" The host began to learn from Lowry Jr.'s money-stuffing action in the MV.

Song Ya reluctantly took the money and stuffed it into his pocket.

"He took it, he took it!" The host waved hip-hop gestures and sang 'I comforted you crying, I gave you a Franklin ......'

Song Yapestle stayed in place, looking at him with a waff on his face.

"Okay, okay, let's stop playing, let's welcome the Beautiful Girls brought to us by APLUS!"

The music performance begins, "You're way too beautiful girl......"

Song Ah began to sing Beautiful Girls with the accompaniment of the SNL band, and all the resident comedian actresses took the stage and began to 'scratch their heads and pose' around him, posing in all kinds of funny poses. Then the ratings began to plummet all the way in Song Ya's boring performance, and after the outdoor sketch with his two resident comedians on SNL, the ratings fell below 10, which also affected the political satire column later.

"It's not bad, on average, it's only a little bit lower than the average ratings of the previous season." Hayden put down the phone after asking the ratings survey agency.

"Can it be the same?"

Yeremov continued to nag: "Every political satire paragraph of the SNL is purposeful, according to the survey, they can even influence the voting inclination of many voters to a certain extent, and they are inclined to the Donkey Party, this issue is intended to satirize and attack the current commander-in-chief, but all this is ruined by APLUS. ”

"Looks like you have a big opinion of me, huh?" Song Ya looked at him.

"No, no, no......," Yeremov waved his hand, "but you really need to strengthen your skills." ”

"Take your time." Song Ya waved his hand, "I'm going to rest, it's the ranking cycle again, I've been busy this month." ”

The second day of the all-meter tour and the rankings began non-stop, and Song Ya left the greater New York area, and this time the first stop was Atlanta and other places in the south.

"No. 8 on the Billboard singles chart in the first week, and the results are good."

On August 8th, Yeremov walked in with the latest Billboard magazine, and this week's crown list was Maria Carey's cover of the Jackson Five Brothers' l'll be there, except for her, all the hard bones in front of Song Ya, Madonna, Sir Mix-A-Lot, TLC, Boyz II Men, Gun Flower, Billy Recellus.

Mariah Carey has had seven crowns since her debut, four crowns for the first album, one crown for the second album, and the EP of this MTV unplugged concert actually won two crowns, l'll be there even won the championship with a cover track, and Empire State Of Mind Part II is actually half a cover.

"Beautiful Girls should have no problem hitting the crown singles, right?" Song Ya asked.

This Beautiful Girls song quickly swept the whole country, and many teenagers like to go to places, such as theaters, roller skating rinks, beaches, department stores and other places, are playing this saliva song with no connotation.

"The melody is catchy, and many people like to hum along." Yeremov summed it up a little, "After listening to it, I often go through it in my head, and then I want to listen to it again...... So, it shouldn't be a problem to get your third crown single since your debut, after Remember The Name and Where Is The Love. ”

"That's also a three-crown job." Song Ya couldn't help but start to feel complacent.

"Your main enemy is Boyz II Men's End Of The Road, do you want us to join forces with Sony Columbia Records......" Hayden began to have a bad idea.

"Don't."

Song Ah didn't want to do anything with BABYFACE's songs, and Boyz II Men's Motown Records had a huge influence on the black community, even though they weren't a big record label since MJ left.

He didn't plan to make trouble here, but Motown Records was not at ease, after all, Sony Columbia Records' singers dominated the charts in the first half of the year, and the momentum was too compelling.

IN ATLANTA, THE EXECUTIVES OF MOTOWN RECORDS, ACCOMPANIED BY BABYFACE, TOOK THE INITIATIVE TO MEET WITH SONGYA AT LAFACE RECORDS.

"Shall we say so?" The two sides chatted happily and reconfirmed before Song Ya left.

"Put it down, I'm not the kind of person who will do tricks." Song Ya gave him a guarantee.

"OKAY, THANKS, APLUS."

Song Ya leaves LAFACE Records, and Donnie Breston's agent suddenly appears.

"Have you decided on the MV heroine of Want to Want Me?" The other party gets straight to the point.

"It's decided, what?" Song Ya pretended to be stupid, not because he didn't want to give Donnie, who had a one-night stand, a chance, but if she was allowed to appear in his MV, Maria Carey might have a fire in the backyard.

"Well, that's a pity, I still want to find a chance for Donnie." Her agent asked, "What about the music videos for other songs?" Like Show me the money? ”

"The shooting plans and candidates for the other MVs have been confirmed."

Actually, no, but Song Ya could only say, "Does Donny still need this kind of opportunity?" The single she teamed up with BABYFACE received a good response, and now that she has started to become popular, it is not suitable to appear in the MVs of other singers, right? ”

"LAFACE RECORDS GAVE HER HER FIRST ALBUM IN THE SECOND HALF OF '93." The agent sighed, "She's very confused, find a chance for you to meet in the past two days?" ”

"Don't worry, with BABYFACE, it's certain that she will become popular."

Song Ya politely refused, although Donnie's explosive figure is very memorable, Song Ya has no intention of developing a long-term relationship with the other party.

"I saw the MV!"

In the evening, Shakira, a young South American lover, called, and she was very excited, "Now everyone in Colombia knows me." ”

After the MV spread to Colombia, she quickly became popular and became a hot topic in the country, and APLUS's MV can continue to praise the reputation of the heroine, even on the side of the United States, many media have begun to ask, 'Who is the Latin girl with a particularly good waist twist?' ’

"Then do you still want to put up a new album?" Song Ya asked.

"I don't know, the South American branch decided to give me more resources, and it was difficult for me to choose." Shakira said.

"Think about it yourself, it's about the future, and I can't give you any advice."
