At the beginning of recording songs with Mariah Kelly, Song Yasuan saw the second woman who worked harder than herself after the crossing, singing, discussing, singing, discussing, humming while discussing, all the attention and energy revolved around the song, and the work intensity was terrifying.

"APLUS, I THINK, THIS SENTENCE CAN BE SUNG LIKE THIS, ISN'T IT BETTER?"

And she is very in control of the studio, and her status in Sony Columbia Records is far from being comparable to Song Ya, when she asks questions like 'yes', she has actually made up her mind, but she just expresses it politely.

"I still like the old way, can we stop it?"

Song Ya asked listlessly, from a good friend to a partner, I didn't expect this to be such a situation, Mariah Carey has been trying to carve the singing method and even the lyrics in various ways, this is not that she has any idea about the copyright income of the lyrics, it is purely based on the pursuit of artistic perfection.

After a few days of recording, Song Ya was very painful, he did not force 100% restoration of the original song, but suffered from the other party's disagreement with his own ideas.

Mariah Carey ranks second in the vocal range of current pop singers (the first is Axl Rose, the lead singer of Gun Flower), and her singing skills are top-notch, which leads to her need to increase the difficulty of singing in order to fully play her good voice.

In fact, those criticisms are not unreasonable, back and forth, the chorus part of Empire State of Mind was changed by her to a straight line of difficulty, but it is not as good as the original, that is, the commonly known singing is too full and too showy.

For example, the single of the same kind in her new album Emotions to be released in May, the difficulty of singing is close to the human limit, ten consecutive E5 scales, up to G7, continuous jumps, dolphin sound bite standing, etc., a complete cover nightmare.

Of course, the original intention of recording that song was to establish her status as a top female singer, as well as to completely shatter the rumors that she was a studio singer, sacrificing some things is understandable, but Empire State of Mind has no need to play like that.

"HEY, DON'T DO THAT, APLUS!"

Mariah Carey smiled and tapped Song Ya's arm with the music sheet in her hand, "Cheer up, I'm not sleepy yet!" She pressed the pager, "BRING ANOTHER CUP OF COFFEE TO APLUS." Then he trotted back to the studio.

"Don't, I'm full, let's change Bourbon."

Song Ya felt that only strong whiskey could make her refreshed...... Or fall asleep after drinking, and she still doesn't give up trying despite the attitude that she has clearly stated that she doesn't want to change, which is a bit annoying, after all, she is the producer of this song.

"Roberto, let's talk."

By the time she finished recording this paragraph, Song Ya had swallowed a large glass of bourbon, woke up Roberto Clevard, who was napping on the sofa, and pulled him to the sink outside.

"You've got to help me, Roberto." He rinsed his head with cold water, "If you record it like this, the finished product is completely different from the song in my heart." ”

"You have to have the majesty of a producer, Miss Kelly is very simple, her mental age is definitely not as old as yours, she is more like a child in the studio, music is her toy, she can't stop playing......"

Roberto Clevard also washed his face, "Be strict, what do you say, control her with self-heat, and of course coax her appropriately, just like a father treats his daughter, understand?" ”

"But she ......"

In the middle of Songya's words, Mariah Carey poked her head out of the studio, "APLUS~Roberto~ I caught you lazy......"

The two looked at each other and smiled wryly, and returned to the studio, "APLUS has something to say to you, Miss Kelly." Roberto helped speak.

"How?" Mariah Carey looked at Songya.

"Miss Kelly, I decided to use the original lyrics and singing, and I won't discuss that anymore." After Song Ya finished speaking, he took his personal belongings, "Let's record it today, I'm a little tired, I'll have a day off tomorrow and continue the day after tomorrow." ”

"The day after tomorrow!?" Mariah Carey's eyes widened.

Song Ya ignored him, turned around and left.

“APLUS！ Are you going to steal a day of laziness? You can't do this! She shouted loudly behind her.

"I'm a producer, and the studio is rented by my company, and I'm willing to leave it empty for a day, and I'm up to me here." Song Ya didn't look back.

Before he arrived at the hotel, he received a call from Motula, who should have been accused, "Mr. Motula, you promised me the power to be a producer, and these are all written into the contract." ”

"I know, I know, I'll just make a phone call and ask and complete the task." Motura laughed and chatted nonsense, then hung up the phone.

The next day, Song Ya did have something to do, and she went on a date.

Mira had just returned from auditions for the Hollywood Lambs in Danger crew, but it was not the heroine who was negotiated at the beginning, but the daughter of the heroine, an important supporting actress role, who went directly to the final round of auditions, and then ...... was eliminated.

De Palma, an old director who has helped his family, bluntly said that her acting skills can't bear the role of an important supporting actress, and this film has a budget of more than 10 million, which is a big investment for a suspense thriller, and the old man who is used to making crime films attaches great importance to this new field of testing the waters, so he can't provide excessive care.

And according to Mira's crying on the phone, the old man only let her audition for five minutes, and then read her for half an hour, saying that he was very disappointed in her, she had no acting talent, her expression should be vivid, and if she really wanted to be a good actor, she had to practice her acting skills and so on.

"It's just the nagging of the elders, which means that he doesn't treat you as an outsider." Song Ya persuaded her on the phone.

Mira's acting skills are really not good, after many years of modeling career, she seems to be posing forever, either frowning coolly, or showing all kinds of sweet smiles, and has been led by Song Ya to the road of singer in the past year, how can she have time to study acting skills. What a vivid expression...... Song Ya could only say in her heart, old man, that you think too much.

The two met at a private dance studio on Manhattan's Upper West Side.

Hayden drove a rented car and took Song Ya downstairs to a private dance studio, which is a gallery and theater where artists gather, where stars come and go, and they won't be particularly noticed, and recently, except for Los Angeles, which is still struggling with Rodney King, the trend in other parts of the country has gradually subsided, and the paparazzi are not as tight as before.

Song Ya and Hayden went up to the second floor and met Mira's agent and Mrs. Jovovich at the door of the dance studio.

The four of them greeted each other, "Wait, Mira is trying on clothes." Mrs. Jovovich seemed to be in a good mood, and she rushed into the dance room, where Mira was surrounded by several people, busily changing Mira's gorgeous rococo dress, and stopping from time to time to discuss.

"Remember? APLUS？ Mrs. Jovovich looked out the window at Central Park in the distance, "When Mira auditioned for De Klerk, we could only afford to rent a small, dilapidated music room like Brooklyn. ”

"Of course I do, Mrs. Jovovich." Song Ya smiled, how could he not remember.

"The most difficult days are finally over." Mrs. Jovovich sighed for some reason, "Those snobbish fellows, hmph, XXXX......" She finally seemed to curse in Maozi language.

"Mrs. Jovovich met her old man just now." Mira smiled and winked at Chong Songya.

Song Yanao made up the plot of the down-and-out child star's parents being ridiculed and then turned red and slapped in the face, probably thinking that eight or nine is not far from ten, and it is estimated that this is also the reason why Mrs. Jovovich is in a good mood today.

"Shall we also buy a house in New York?" Mrs. Jovovich pointed across Central Park and said, "Mira's career is in New York and Los Angeles. ”

"Upper East Side?" Mira's agent frowned, "It's very expensive there, and the sale of houses that meet Mira's status not only needs to be reviewed and approved by the community council, but also has to submit tens of millions of dollars in asset certificates." It's not easy to review that level, and the old money doesn't welcome celebrities to stay. ”

"So troublesome?" Mrs. Jovovich was stunned.

Mira's agent replied: "Almost, the old money is that virtuous, in fact, it is very good here, many artists and celebrities are buying properties in the Upper West Side." ”

Mrs. Jovovich glanced reluctantly in the direction of the Upper East Side, and she turned to Song Ya and asked, "APLUS, do you have any plans to buy a house in New York?" ”

"No, I don't know much about this aspect...... "Where does Song Ya get the spare money to buy a house now."

"Where do you think the Upper East Side is right for here?" Mrs. Jovovich asked.

"I don't know much about real estate ......" Song Ya suddenly remembered that Tribeca was mentioned in the original lyrics of Empire State of Mind, since she took it out and boasted about it, she must be able to live there with either rich or expensive, "How about Tribeca?" ”

"Tribeca ......"

All three of them laughed, "It's not a star to live in Tribeca......
