Chapter 39: Eating Melons

Due to the requirements of appearance and performance, the second round of auditions was arranged in a small theater nearby, and it was still early before the start time, and the audition singers had already arrived one after another, and they tacitly distanced themselves and sat in the dimly lit auditorium.

Song Ya silently observed behind the curtain of the stage, most of these girls were young and beautiful, most of them had already put on makeup, and used a thin jacket to cover the clothes that were about to go on stage, some were nervously looking around, and some were very calm and concentrated on studying the score in their hands. Since SBK only allowed one person per person to accompany them, most of the agents who were around the girls were their agents, and several agents who knew each other well got together to talk in a low voice while the audition had not yet started.

Mila and Mrs. Jovovich were the last to arrive, and Mila was still a combination of Ray-Ban glasses and a baseball cap, and she still looked down on everyone, but she still walked in an awkward position, and she and Mrs. Jovovich found a seat in the back row.

said that Mrs. Jovovich didn't notice the changes in her daughter who got along day and night after being taken a blood, Song Ya never believed it, but the other party still chose to ignore it silently, and was quietly opening a small bottle of vodka and handing it to Mila according to Song Ya's suggestion, staring at her and taking a big sip.

It was rumored that Mira's parents were greedy, but unlike the father who was far away in Los Angeles and lost all the money his daughter had earned since she was nine years old, Mrs. Jovovich's mother was greedy in a different way, and the large pearl necklace around her neck looked very glaring at this time.

At this time, an SBK staff member stepped forward and called the girl who was the first to perform into the dressing room.

"It's about to start, let's get over."

Daniel led Song Ya and the other SBK executives to the front row of the audience, and the agents who were talking to him also returned to his girl's side, and did not come to disturb them in a very well-behaved manner.

On time, the first girl came on stage, she was a little nervous, and frequently pulled the shoulder straps of her red evening dress, but she didn't forget to keep a sweet smile in the direction of the first row.

The staff handed Daniel a microphone, and the long black audio cable dragged away.

"Are you ready?" Daniel turned on the microphone and asked, and after getting an affirmative reply from the girl on stage, he gave the microphone to Song Ya.

"Then let's get started." Song Ya had practiced what to say in such situations before, and was generally just right to be concise," Erik. He looked at Eric on the side of the stage.

Eric gave him a thumbs up.

"5,4,3,2,1......" Song Ya reported, Eric pressed the button, and the theater stereo began to play the accompaniment of FXXXYOU, which was the original version recorded by Delai.

“Look inside,Look inside your tiny mind……”

After the girl finished singing, her body was already trembling slightly with both hands holding the microphone.

"Don't be too nervous." After Song Ya finished speaking, he stretched out his head and glanced left and right, and saw an SBK executive raise his hand to signal, so he handed over the microphone and passed it over there.

"Uh...... Can you handle it a little bit ......?"

After the executive finished his opinion, the person next to him added two more words, and the microphone was handed back to Song Ya, who again motioned for Eric to play the accompaniment.

There are exactly ten singers in the second round of auditions, seven of whom directly participated in the second round, and only three of them were promoted from the first round, and all of them have one or two chances to sing again.

Time passed slowly, and Song Ya felt that the singing styles of all the singers were leaning towards the three singers who advanced in the first round, and it seemed that the people behind them were keenly aware of their favorites.

Daniel's original singer came to the stage, and she is estimated to be over twenty-five years old, the oldest of all the audition singers, and also the best singing skills, and the most stable typhoon. It's a pity that even without Mira, she is the first to be eliminated in Song Ya's mind, and it is still the old problem, and all the singers who handle this song too 'solemnly' have no need to think about it.

After singing the song, Daniel took the microphone and casually put forward a few opinions, and gave the other party one more chance to sing again, he already knew that Song Ya belonged to him, and this was just an explanation of the relationship behind the singer on stage.

The next place was Mira's turn.

Mila who came out of the dressing room was wearing blue skinny jeans and a half-cut vest in a denim style, her shoulders were bare, and a small section of her navel was exposed, looking youthful and a little sexy, and I don't know how much vodka Mrs. Jovovich drank for her, the usual Mira with a stinky face was gone, and now she was blushing, and the small expressions on her face were also vivid.

"Are you ready?" Song Ya asked.

Thousands of instructions not to expose the relationship between the two during the audition, Mira still smiled and threw a wink at herself, and her little face turned even redder.

"Let's get started, Eric." Song Ya hurriedly asked Eric to play the accompaniment.

“Look inside……”

Mila began to sing, and the effect of the two nights of special training was very good, although her singing skills were much worse than other singers, especially the original singing, but her lazy and casual style was very ear-catching in this era, especially the flower Q, which was one level higher than the handling of other girls, and in terms of performance, she also followed Song Ya's teachings to throw her eyes and bite her lip to the audience, full of sexy kittens.

Song Ya observed that Daniel had been nodding slightly.

After singing the song, an executive on the side coughed, and Song Ya passed the microphone over.

"How do you think about your lyrics with some English accents?" The executive asked.

During the special training, Song Ya compared the accent of the original singing, plus the actual situation, did not copy it all, but asked Mira to add some British style to the word reading and transliteration, the effect was very good, and the audience was all veterans in the industry, and I really noticed it.

"I lived in London for a while."

Mira replied that after all, it was Song Ya who got the apocalypse of the song, and if Song Ya, a slum boy who grew up in Chicago, asked the other party to use British pronunciation, it would undoubtedly reveal a flaw.

The executive nodded and handed over the microphone.

The others made a few more comments, and Mira sang it again, then staggered off the stage.

After the ten girls finished singing, Daniel stood up, "Announce the results before seven o'clock." He said succinctly.

This is something that has been notified a long time ago, and the girl's agents have signaled to understand, Daniel left the theater and returned to his office, and Song Ya naturally followed.

"Mira?" I don't know how many times Daniel asked.

"Don't you think she's a good fit?" Mira's performance gave Song Ya the confidence to ask rhetorical questions.

Daniel pouted, "Indeed, your special training is very effective, go get something to eat, I'll announce the results at seven o'clock." ”

Song Ya returned to the recording studio and looked at his watch, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and Hayden had prepared the Chinese takeaway of the pagoda logo.

"We'll be rehearsing in two days, if there's nothing else to do......," Hayden said he was going back to Chicago, where he had more than one client under him, and there must be a lot of work to be done in Chicago.

"No problem." Song Ya gave him a hug, "Our trip to New York was very successful. ”

"APLUS......" Lisa knocked on the door and told him that someone was looking outside.

Song Ya followed her out into a small reception room, where stood an old white man, who had the impression that he was one of the agents of the ten audition singers.

"I'm sorry, it's not convenient for me to see you at this time."

He glanced at Lisa, who was about to close the door, and turned to leave.

"Hey! …… Music classroom, remember? The old man shouted behind his back, which was exactly where he gave Mila special training.

Lisa closed the door, Song Ya turned her head back, staring at the old man, "You follow me?" He had underestimated the intensity of competition in New York, but he also overestimated the bottom line of competition in New York.

"A friend of mine, I saw it by chance." The old man took out a photo from his pocket, which was the scene of Mira sneaking out to say goodbye and the two kissing when he left the music classroom in the early hours of yesterday morning.

"Your friend's camera is professional." Song Ya said coldly.

"Daniel said to follow your advice exactly, I think my girl is the best choice, isn't it?" The old man was very direct.

Song Ya frowned and thought about it, even if he was found out that he had sneaked Mira, so what? There's a lot of stuff in the film and record industry, "I'm sorry, your girl didn't get a chance." He decisively refused.

"Hah!"

The old man's laughter was short, "You know, Mira is a minor!" ”

Song Ya had a black question mark on his face when he heard this, "So? ”

"So what!? Aren't you afraid of being in prison? The old man stared at him in astonishment.

Song Yaquan understood, and couldn't help laughing, "But I'm the same age as Mira!" You have the heart to do all these tricks......" he pointed to the picture in the old man's hand, "don't you know how old I am?" ”

"You too...... What the!? The old man finally lost his temper, his face full of disbelief, "You're only fifteen!?" It doesn't look like it at all, I think you're at least twenty! ”

Song Ya touched her face, "Is it wrong for black people to be mature?" Regardless of the old man who stayed where he was, he dropped a sentence, "I hope you won't appear in front of me again in the future." "Leave.

Halfway through, he was stopped by a bespectacled, somewhat bowed SBK executive, Song Ya had seen him in Daniel's office, as if his name was Robert or something, "APLUS, I think...... Yes, what about you? He called out a girl's name.

As soon as Song Ya heard it, she could tell that this Robert was the one who said in the bathroom before, 'The reason why the White House is called the White House', "I'm sorry, my candidate is not her." ”

"Hey!"

Robert grabbed Song Ya's arm with one hand and looked directly into Song Ya's eyes sharply, "Work with me, I promise you won't regret it, and Mira will still get her album, it's an album!" It's a good deal, otherwise your path with her at SBK will be very difficult, I promise. ”

"I'm sorry." Song Ya broke his hand away and walked straight away.

At seven o'clock, Song Ya's pager rang, and he dialed it back, and Mira's excited shouts came from inside, "MUA! Thank you dear, I love you! MUA! ”

"I love you too." He replied.

There was a knock at the door, "I'm going to be busy here, I'll see you in the studio tomorrow baby......" he smiled and hung up the phone, "Come in." ”

A strange blonde clerk walked in, she was holding a fruit bowl, and when she saw Song Ya's face suddenly change, she turned around and walked back.

"Send it in!" Robert's command was heard outside.

The clerk hesitated, turned around and put the fruit bowl on the table, and trotted away with his high heels.

"Son of a bitch!" Eric was furious when he saw the fruit bowl and sprang out a few steps from the mixer.

"What's wrong?" Song Ya looked at the neatly stacked slices of watermelon in the fruit bowl and didn't react for a long time.

There was an argument outside, and Eric was pushed back by DeLay and closed the door with his backhand.

Song Ya finally remembered that watermelons were planted in barren places by slave owners in the plantation era to replenish water for the black slaves who worked in the sun every day, and later they were frequently used in propaganda against black discrimination, so ......

“APLUS! We can't let him go! Eric shouted.

"I'll tell Daniel."

In this era, beating people is illegal, and there is actually no good way to deal with this kind of light discrimination," Robert is...... I remember you. Song Ya picked up a slice of watermelon, "Actually, I used to like to eat this." He took a bite, "Huh, before?" ”
