Chapter 803: Unplugged Concert
The end of the year was the couple's work cycle, Mariah Carey went to Tokyo, and Song Ya appeared in the small theater prepared for him by MTV to rehearse for the first unplugged concert in his life.
"The musicians are over, and the chorus stands here......"
The old Larry, who directed Mariah Carey's last unplugged concert, was obligated to come over to help, "the piano is there......" He still maintained his habit, standing in the corner looking at the monitor, and letting the assistant do the specific work, after filming the dance out of my life, he resigned from his teaching position, and the cheap and easy-to-use students around him gradually flew solo, so he had to change to professional assistants.
MTV's big-name host and producer, Lesgarland, was also there, "The audience can rest assured that at least the ones in the front row are professional." β
In recent years, there is a paradigm in his family's concerts, that is, the audience in the front row is close enough to lie on the edge of the stage to watch the singing, pop stars use young men and women, and old country and rock bands use older white people, these 'professional audiences' can perform emotions such as worship, excitement, and nymphomaniacs according to the rhythm of the song, and they are very good at setting off the atmosphere. At the same time, it can also prevent those passers-by who actually buy tickets from making trouble in front of the camera.
For MTV, the broadcast effect on their own TV station is the most important, as long as they don't fake the bottom line of 'unplugged real singing', everything else can be accommodating.
"Thanks, Rice."
He was not the same as before, and Song Ya patted his arm in a friendly manner.
"The concert is a one-shot deal, and there is no possibility of remedial treatment." Lesgarand reminded, "At most, we'll quietly help you fix the sound afterwards......"
"I understand, thank you very much, say hello to Mr. Lei Shidong for me." Song Ya said with a smile.
"Okay, don't bother with your rehearsals."
Lesgarand saw Brenda appear with a microphone in hand, so she took her leave.
"Ahem, the old lady is finally coming back."
Brenda is very proud, and the original soundtrack of my life has sold well, but she sang several songs in it solo, and she has not had many opportunities to appear, and she has always been a singer who is not popular, she values this opportunity very much, "Try my part first." She said to the pianists and musicians.
Unplugged concerts are generally a show for singers or bands, and they don't use too many choral tracks to distract the audience's attention, this time Song Ya only brought her and the Chicago Children's Choir in addition to the necessary live co-production, she was responsible for the female part of No Make-Up, and the lyrics were not much, concentrated in the second half.
βConcentrating on the way myβ¦β¦β
The music played, and she sang to the right beat.
The voice is really good, and the singing skills are not as good as Mariah Carey, but it is not bad, and the voice is extremely clear and has a strong sense of youth. Song Ya closed her eyes and listened intently, if she hadn't seen Brenda herself, just listening to her singing, she would definitely imagine her as a very beautiful sweetheart girl.
In fact, having said that, Brenda was very good-looking when she was young, and she could definitely do it, but unfortunately now she is in the shape of a black spicy bucket aunt......
"Whew!"
After a short period of singing, she happily high-fived and celebrated with the musicians, "APLUS, COME UP, THIS SECTION CAN'T DO WITHOUT YOU!" We'll come again! She shouted.
Emotional intelligence is too rushed......
couldn't meet his wife's best friend in general, Song Ya smiled on stage and began to rehearse with her.
"The overall effect is good, the song No Make-Up is in solidarity with women who have been abused by domestic violence, right?" At the end of a day of intense rehearsals, Larry Sr. came over and said, "The last song Be What You want Be Be is even better, and it works well with the children of the children's vocal group." β
The thin-skinned old man took the initiative to compliment, Song Ya's emotional intelligence can fully grasp what the other party's subtext is, "Thank you, Larry, what have you been busy with lately?" Is there a project for next year? β
"Yes, CBS TV biographical documentary, it's a TV movie."
Larry Sr. replied that it seems that he didn't find a good opportunity in Hollywood after a pounce, but in any case, he is much better mixed than when he used to teach and shoot music videos for singers, "By the way, A+ Film Studio recently has a Blade project, I asked Yeremov to put you on the list of alternative directors, and it is estimated that he will call your agent soon." β
Song Ya took the initiative to say: "But this time I can't control the project team like dancing my life, you know, Catherine wants to use her husband's ......"
In fact, the old Larry is definitely not in the scope of the director's choice of Blade, Yeremov thinks that he is not suitable for making superhero action movies, and even inferior to Zack Snyder, but it doesn't matter if this kind of convenient favor is given one, it's just an alternative, even if it is brushed down, the old Larry has to thank himself for his care.
"Okay, thanks APLUS, I'll wait for him to call." Larry Sr. was naturally happy, but he also had self-knowledge, "that kind of superhero action movie...... It shouldn't be very likely that I'll get the barrel. He said.
"I'm going to have that big project next year."
Song Ya shrugged, "Oh yes, there is also a small-budget black film project, very small, the investment will not exceed a million, if you are also interested......"
"Oh? So who do I go to? Old Larry asked.
"Uh......" Song Ya glanced at Brenda who was nearby, pulled old Larry to the corner, and whispered: "The producer is currently Xue Linfen, and she is still choosing the script." β
You've always been so beautiful, you're beautiful without makeup......
When the unplugged concert was broadcast on MTV, Xue Linfen also sat in front of the TV, and when he saw and heard the song written to him by little Robb and his father on the screen, his heart was almost gone, and tears flowed out of the corners of his eyes unconsciously.
"His on-site strength is okay, not as bad as I thought."
Tim, the agent who accompanied Robb Jr. to run around in the oversized living room, came over and laughed: "Does this song remind you of the punch he gave to your photographer's ex-boyfriend before?" β
"Don't mention that disgusting guy, Tim." Xue Linfen wiped her tears and complained.
The photographer's ex-boyfriend has been squeezed by Song Ya so much that he can't get along in Hollywood, and he doesn't know where he went.
"Have you chosen the script?" Tim noticed the stacks of bound manuscripts she had in hand, "Don't take your eyes on it. β
"It's okay, you know Tim, I used to envy the producers who gave me what I wanted on the set, and you know how much I cherished this opportunity."
Xue Linfen said the truth to her male girlfriend, "I can't let my first project fail. β
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, the investment for this film is low." Tim said.
"yes......"
The budget for the project was not high, so most of the plot could only take place in a fixed room, so as to save the money of renting a studio and venue, and not using too many actors and crew, and occasionally filming the location, nothing more than walking down the street, or standing on a street corner and talking.
Then the range of scripts available is very narrow, either romance, or low-budget horror films, and then the subject matter is limited to black movies, and Robb Jr. and his father also confessed to add equal rights, women's rights and other content, so there is only one choice left, black men and women emotional entanglement plus domestic violence scenes......
And A+ Film Studio Production, 500,000 cost, starring Taraghi, this year's 'How do I stop all this' is this genre, Xue Linfen doesn't want to go through the road of failure again.
"Is this kid the boss of A+CN? A young black rich man who is just red? β
In Washington, an old white man walked into the living room and happened to see his family watching the concert.
"It's him, I love this song Be What You want to Be......"
His wife laughed and joked with her husband, "Why not the Grand Commander?" Be a person with a dream, remember? You used to say that you were going to choose a commander, why don't you mention it now? β
"I'm too angry, and now those Senate colleagues claim to be mainstream one by one, just to get votes!"
The old white man was glad to see the NGer stars on the TV and a group of angelic white boys and girls, "This guy's well-known news anchor Gordon is causing trouble for my constituency, and he keeps attacking the police officers for over-enforcing the law against black people. β
"Aren't you going to fight back?" The wife asked.
"I'm too angry, my dear, I only raised more than 100,000 dollars in the next election, and it is becoming more and more difficult to keep my seat." He replied.
"That's the big company you blamed for wanting to invest in China, I warned you, now it has become more and more obvious to enter the Chinese market, multinational companies are unwilling to lag behind, after all, the population is large, the market is ......" The wife who has been with him for many years understands politics very well.
"Hmph, this kid also has Chinese ancestry, right?"
"Seems to be."
"Uh-huh......" the old white man groaned and walked into the study.
