was shortlisted for the Grammys for the first time, even if Song Ya did not receive any money, he could accept it.

The award for Best Soul and Rhythm & Blues Band, Chorus and Combo in the two AMA (American Music Awards) on January 27 is very likely to be won, and Yeremov is already using the initial APLUS All-Rice Fan Federation to encourage fans to vote, and Mariah Carey and Sony Columbia Records will also make a difference.

"Your main enemy in Empire State of Mind is the recent very fast black rhythm and blues group Boyz II Men, whose multiplayer harmony is among the best in the world, and their debut time is about the same as yours. THEY HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH BABYFACE, YOU KNOW, THE MOOD STEALING FESTIVAL STARRING HARLEY AND EDDIE MURPHY WILL BE RELEASED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR, THE SOUNDTRACK IS DONE BY BABYFACE'S LAFACE RECORDS, AND THE SOUNDTRACK ALSO INCLUDES ONE OF THEIR SONGS, AS WELL AS TWO BY DONNIE BRESTON. ”

Hayden gave a brief overview of the AMA awards.

"The longer I've been in the music industry, the more the names I hear are associated with acquaintances, and luckily, the AMA has a high percentage of audience votes, and I won't lose to them in popularity...... Right? Hayden? Song Ya asked.

"That's for sure, but you can't convey to the fans that you don't care, and at the canvassing event, you have to hold at least three fan meetings in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles before the 25th, and then add the number of shows according to Yeremov's research on the intentions of fans in other cities. Taraghi ......"

Hayden asked Taragine to bring the schedule, "The 13th, the New York Fan Club, the 17th Back to School, the 20th, the Chicago Fan Club, the 25th, the Los Angeles Fan Club, and then the AMA Awards in Los Angeles on the 27th." ”

"I'm so busy, have you communicated with Sony Columbia Records?"

"Rest assured, they will cooperate in the competition, even if it is for Mariah Carey's sake. Your choice to partner with Mariah Carey on Empire State of Mind is a win-win, albeit at a high cost. ”

Mariah Carey will get five percent of the sales revenue of the song Empire State of Mind, and Song Ya will get five thousandths of a thousand in her first album, while it is uncertain whether the solo version of Empire State of Mind will appear on Mariah Carey's new album '93, which would have been one percent in her new album.

The contract was amended with Song Ya's consent after the Motula attack, and the only thing that is now certain is that a solo female vocal version of Empire State of Mind will appear on Mariah Carey's MTV Unplugged Concert EP in March, where Song Ya can get 15 percent of the single and 2 percent of the EP.

"Don't care, who called Mimi my friend." Song Ya rushed to the recording studio and continued to rehearse with Mariah Kelly.

"So you're going back to Chicago on the 16th, right?" Mariah Kelly asked.

"Yes, I'll be hosting a New York fan party on the 13th before that, are you coming?" Song Ya asked.

"Well, Miss Kelly is going to be your fan who is not appropriate, and it will be spread by reporters."

It's still the upright Walt, he interjected to interrupt Song Ya's invitation, "And your female fans may not be happy to see this scene." ”

"His female fans?" Mariah Carey's focus is completely different, "Hmph, I'm afraid they're numb to their idol's love history, right?" ”

"Hey, Mimi, they're all young people, who hasn't talked about a few girlfriends in high school these days." Song Ya protested.

"How many?"

Mariah Kelly applauded him, "Flowerheart." ”

"Okay, okay, don't be lazy, let's start recording, let's record the studio version first, and the details of the live performance will continue to be perfected when APLUS returns to New York in March." Walt hurriedly stopped the bickering between the two, "You two won't be over talking about this topic now." ”

The thirteenth arrived quickly, and in the evening, Songya came to a familiar place, and the small theater provided by SBK during Mira's audition, this time rented by Yeremov.

"What a coincidence." Hayden laughed, "It's not far from SBK. ”

Song Ya didn't answer, "Hey, Delay, Al." He bumped fists with the two people who were debugging the equipment, "How is the new company renovated?" ”

"It's going well, you have high requirements for the equipment of the big recording studio and mixing studio, Song Asheng is going to finish the decoration of other places first, let us settle in as soon as possible and then slowly install those two houses."

DeLay replied.

"Not a bad idea." Song Ya was very satisfied, "You asked Andrew to choose the latest computer equipment as much as possible, and then DTS also provided some technical help." ”

"I understand that Terry Bild at DTS is glad you offered him this business." "It's been able to ease some of his financial pressure," DeLay said. ”

"Hmm."

Song Ya nodded, and he and Dile's three began to rehearse in advance, and at this time, Yeremov at the door began to put some die-hard fans to enter the venue in advance.

“APLUS！” At the head of the New York fan club, a white woman in her twenties, she ran to the stage at the speed of a 100-meter sprint when she saw Song Ya, and just wanted to climb up, she was stopped by Mawota and a silencer guarding there.

"Let her come up." Song Ya smiled at the other party with a friendly smile.

"Her name is ......," Taraji whispered the woman's name in Songya's ear.

"Hello......" Song Ya called out the other party's name and took a big hug.

"I'M SO HAPPY, APLUS, I'VE GOT YOUR POSTERS ALL OVER THE HOUSE." The other party leaned on him like a little girl and refused to come down.

"Thank you for your support, you are my best friend."

"Can we date then?"

"Uh, ahem......"

Taragi stepped forward, "All right, lady. ”

At the point, the fans of the New York Fan Club filled this small theater one after another, Song Ya looked at it, and indeed as Yeremov said, there are mostly young people and most women, probably because the venue is a little far away from the black residential area, and the number of whites is also more than blacks, "Everybody!" I love you! ”

He worked very hard in this performance, singing all the tracks except i hate u i love u, and even the finished version of Beautiful Girls, which has not yet been released.

“You're way too beautiful girl……”

He squatted on the edge of the stage, pointed to the female fans in the audience, and performed with love.

Naturally, there are countless high-decibel screams accompanied by tears, "I love you, APLUS!" "There were also girls who threw their hair bands and other belongings on the stage.

"Don't forget to vote for me in the AMA!" Song Ya took a moment to speak loudly.

"We will!" The audience responded in unison, "APLUS! APLUS！ ”

On January 15th, Song Ya was still reminiscing about the frenzied atmosphere of the performance the day before yesterday, he was lying on the sofa in the recording studio, thinking of the paper balls with phone numbers written on them left on the stage after the fans left, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl slightly......

"What good things are you thinking? BOY。 Mary Carey asked as she entered the door and saw the scene.

"It's nothing, my fans will be very successful the day before yesterday......" Song Ya replied, he raised his eyes to look at Mariah Carey, who was dressed very sexy today, black slim pants narrowed abruptly at the waist, the beautiful curves were fully outlined, the small vest on the upper body exposed the deep scenery on the chest, and the high-shoulder jacket on the jacket brought her some neutral beauty, "You are so beautiful today, Mimi." ”

"Thanks, this is the stylist's design for the MTV concert, do you think it's okay too?"

"Very good."

"Then I'll be wearing this outfit then, are you leaving New York tomorrow?"

"Yes, I'll start school on the seventeenth."

"Alas, poor high school student."

"Why, don't you miss high school life?"

"There's nothing to miss, except for practicing songs in the club, I'm bored and hard to pass the time."

"Then you must have bad grades."

"Aha, the contempt from the honor students?"

At this time, Walt pushed the door in, "Don't talk about the two of you, APLUS will leave tomorrow, and I must record the studio version today!" ”

The two of them were in their places, and after so many days of practice, Mariah Carey had completely captured the atmosphere that Song Ya was about to express, "OOH...... NewYork……”

In the evening, accompanied by the pianist's solo, she closed her eyes and sang the whole song from beginning to end.

Outside the recording studio, Song Ya and Walter chattered their chins at the same time, "What do you think of this time?" Walter asked.

"Perfect, I can't fault it." Song Ya replied that Maria Kelly's treatment was fuller than the original song, and the climax was also higher, and the soul music taste was slightly inferior, but that was only related to personal style, and Song Ya had no hope of completely reproducing the original. Besides, Mariah Carey is already more skilled than the original singer, and the deliberate restriction is completely a snake.

"And this version?"

"I'm okay with that."

"Okay."

Walt turned on the intercom, "It's over!" Miss Kelly. ”

“Oh！” Mariah Kelly stretched and turned back to high-five the pianist in celebration, "What to eat at night?" I'm in for a treat! ”

"Italian?" Song Ya asked.

"Italian food is fine, I'll call David and Roberto." Walter walked to the phone.

"What Italian food?" At this time, the door of the recording studio was opened, and Motura walked in with a large group of suits and leather shoes, and Song Ya saw Gao Shu inside.

"Are you done recording? Going to dinner? ”

Motura was in a good mood and always had a smile on her face, "Mimi? Is it finished? He was lip-syncing.

"Tommy, wait." Mariah Carey pointed to her personal belongings on the studio table and motioned for her to clean up.

"Okay, pack up and come out, there are a lot of people here who are your fans." Motura pressed the intercom, then pointed this way, "This is our composer, arranger, and producer, Walt, who has produced many of Miss Kelly's songs, and APLUS, you must know, a talented young musician." They have done a lot for our company last year. ”

"That's right." Gao Shu and the others came up to shake hands with Walt and Song Ya in a friendly manner, Motura led the notebook and greeted the people in the recording studio, and his assistant went to the corner to turn on the small TV.

"Sony Columbia Records had a good record in '91, and profits will rise in '92 with the release of MJ's album." Motura kept boasting to the management books, "Today is the day when MJ's new album second single comes out, and you will be able to see his new MV on MTV later." ”

An interpreter whispered his words into Japanese, and the notebooks nodded their heads repeatedly.

Then a large crowd gathered in front of the TV, "Mr. Motura, there won't be another ...... this time," Takaki whispered.

"No, don't worry." Motura replied firmly.

MJ's new MV started playing on time on the TV.,Remember The Time is followed by an hourglass CG.,It should be considered a leader in this era.,The books are amazed when they see it.。

All eyes were on the TV screen, and Mariah Carey came out silently, leaning against the door of the recording studio, and Song Ya went over to stand beside her, and the two of them watched intently.

In this MV, MJ seems to be walking in Egyptian style, the Sphinx, and the stunning head sculpture of the female pharaoh Nefertiti are all turned into Xisha.

This time it's finally not a panther anymore, a cat appears in front of the camera.

Then the scene shifts to the Egyptian court, where the pharaoh played by Eddie Murphy and the princess played by black supermodel Iman sit side by side on the golden throne.

NBA superstar Magic Johnson plays a shouting palace guard, and this kind of all-star lineup can only be taken by MJ.

After pleasing the princess and the two performers were killed, MJ, who was dressed in black and covered his face, appeared.

He dropped the sand in his pocket in front of the throne, and the CG-generated sand automatically made a circle.

MJ walked into the circle, and suddenly, the person disappeared, and the empty black clothes fell.

The audience in front of the TV and the actors inside were taken aback.

Mariah Carey's body also stood up straight, attracted by the MV plot.

The grains of sand gradually coalesced into a golden human form, and it was only after more than three minutes of the MV that MJ revealed his true face in a very amazing way in this era, and the music sounded, "I know, that you want to try me, every time you see it......"

He twisted his body charmingly, began to read provocative lyrics to the princess, and then sang, "Do you remember, when we fell in love, we were young and innocent then......"

While singing, he began to point his finger at the princess, and without any scruples, he began to flirt with his sister in front of the pharaoh.

Supermodel Iman did a good job of acting out the emotion of the heartstrings being plucked, and she couldn't help but reach out to shake it back in the face of MJ's outstretched hand to her.

How does Song Ya feel that this situation on the TV is a bit similar to her relationship with Mariah Carey? Motura and the others were staring intently at the TV, and she and Mariah Carey were leaning against the wall, not afraid of being discovered.

He stretched out his paws and swam along the wall to shake Mariah Carey's hand behind him.

The fingertips of the two of them were like electricity, and Mariah Carey felt it, her body stiffened suddenly, her eyes rolled in this direction, and she hurriedly went back to stare at the TV.

Song Ya squeezed it steadily, and his thumb began to flutter on the back of his hand.

Mariah Carey took a deep breath, her heart should be beating fast now, and Song Ya could see her chest rising and falling.

Pharaoh became enraged and began to order the guards to hunt down MJ.

MJ hides in the palace with a playful attitude, and in the end, he escapes the pursuit of the guards and finds the princess in the palace, "When We First Met, When We Fell In Love......" Then, the princess is soft enough to be in his arms, and the two kiss affectionately.

Mariah Carey glanced at Song Ya at this time, and the two looked at each other, and all the subtle emotions were in this eye.

Eventually, MJ turned into a cloud of sand and flew away with the wind.

Realizing that the MV was coming to an end, Mariah Carey finally withdrew her hand.

"Wonderful! Very exciting! Mr. Motura! ”

No political graffiti, no suggestive actions, no violence, no race and other sensitive issues, the books were very satisfied with this MV and applauded to congratulate Motura.

"Thank you." Motura raised her hands, "Night, izakaya!" ”

The notebooks laughed heartily and collectively raised their hands, "Full game!" ”

"Mimi, come on too." Motura accompanied the notebooks to Mariah Carey's side and opened her mouth to invite.

"Well, it's my dinner time with APLUS and Walt." Mary Carey replied in embarrassment.

"The restaurant is booked, Mr. Motula." Song Ya helped.

"Forget it, you play yours." Motura led the books away.

During the dinner, both of them seemed to have something on their minds, and they rarely even made eye contact with each other, and they both distracted themselves with the food in front of them.

"Well, I think the afternoon version is a bit unsatisfying."

Mariah Carey took the initiative to speak.

"Just now? It's getting late, huh? Walt looked at his watch, "And APLUS has a plane to catch tomorrow." ”

"I just remembered." Mariah Kelly looked at Songya.

"I'm fine, just work overtime at night." Song Ya shrugged and replied in a relaxed tone.
