Chapter 275: BET Interview

Song Ya, the current commander, knows a little, comes from a family of Wall Street bankers, his father is a senator, and he has close ties with the Rockefeller and Morgan consortiums. His wife came from a prominent East Coast family, and the couple's ancestry can be traced back to one of the 102 passengers of the Mayflower, with a typical 'blue-blooded (from the blue veins clearly visible on the snow-white forearms of the Spanish royal family, which was later used as a metaphor for someone's extraordinary blood) Bumblebee (WASP: white, Anglo-Saxon, Presbyterian)' family background. According to the statistics of the publication 'Social Register', until this year, there were more than 20,000 blue-blooded bumblebees in Quanmi, all of whom had names and surnames and genealogies to check.

The husband and wife are very far away from the general public, not to mention the prices of some mass consumer goods, and sometimes they can't even name them, but the two like to pretend to be close to the people, so naturally they have made a lot of jokes. For example, when he came back from his tenure as ambassador to China, someone asked him, have you talked to ordinary people in China?

He replied, "Of course." ”

What did you talk about?

"Please pick up my tennis ball."

“……”

He also served as the director of the CIA, so Song Ya deleted the CIA in the lyrics.

By contrast, the much-anticipated Donkey candidate for governor of Arkansas, whose father was just an ordinary salesman who did well in Arkansas' economy during his tenure, has become increasingly popular with ordinary people who are dissatisfied with the state of the economy as the Donkey Party primary progresses. However, this guy has always attacked the current president's China policy as too 'weak', and has repeatedly claimed that if elected, he will cancel China's most-favored-nation trade status.

Although the upper-level relationships are all from the Donkey Party, Song Ya is not very interested in this governor in terms of personal feelings and business interests.

Of course, he can't control the situation at this level, and now is not the time to think about politics, "Hasn't Yeremov finished communicating with BET?" All he cares about now is how to get Where Is The Love out there as quickly as possible.

"After the communication, the news host Gordon went to Los Angeles, and BET promised to play Where Is The Love after his feature, just like FOX." A staff member replied.

"That's it?" Song Ya is a little dissatisfied, his relationship with BET is much closer than FOX, and BET is also the black man's own TV station.

"Uh......" another staff member said embarrassedly, "Gordon will be interviewing the Grand Commander in the next two days, so I may not have much time for you, boss." ”

"Oh, forget it."

It seems that the Grand Commander is now bent on appeasing the black community, and is willing to do interviews with small cable stations with low coverage, just because BET is a black television station.

"I didn't expect BET to get such a big resource." The clerk lamented: "They are expected to have a significant increase in subscribers after this incident. ”

"Hmph." Song Yaxin said that it is no wonder that Johnson has long been involved in the trial of the Rodney King case, and even as the owner of a listed company on the New York Stock Exchange, he still does not hesitate to personally find himself to coerce and lure.

"HEY, APLUS."

Leon Wilson and Common Sense showed up at the door, and they were very active in the recording of Where Is The Love.

In fact, Common Sense's rap level is much higher than Al's, but Song Ya still handed over the RAP part of the last part of the song to Al, after all, Al has been diligent with him for so many years.

"Tarraghi, go wake up Fergi."

Song Ya himself also went to the small recording studio to hang his voice, and the singer of the chorus part of the original version did not seem to appear in the MV, but the timbre type is more similar to the original songs such as I Feel It Coming and Feel It Still, and the difficulty is far less than Want to Want Me, he can easily deal with it.

“1234……”

In the morning, all the contracted singers of A+ Records gathered at the Deep Sea Recording Studio, and Dion Wilson counted the beats outside, "What's wrong with the world, mama?" People livin' like they ain't got no mamas……”

Song Ya pressed the monitor headphones with both hands and sang along with the accompaniment, the first section was basically his, DeLay and Common Sense divided the second section, El the third section, Fergie maintained her part of the original song, and there was a camera in the corner of the recording studio, and a photographer took care of it, silently recording the historical picture of the birth of this piece step by step.

"Take a break, everyone." By the time Dion Wilson announced his break, everyone's throats were a little dry, and Song Ya looked up and saw that it was already noon.

Taragi had already prepared the pizza, boxes stacked on top of each other in the control room.

“APLUS。”

Taking advantage of the opportunity to replenish his strength, DeLay and Al came over, "Let's talk?" ”

The three of them entered the office and closed the door, "I'm sorry APLUS, I had a lot of problems in the morning. Al said ashamedly.

Indeed, the progress of the morning was basically slowed down by him.

"Al, it's okay, grasp the emotions, accuse, be confused, and interrogate." Song Ya patted him on the shoulder absently, "You are my brother, do you think I will sing a large part of the lyrics to the new guy?" It's the same as in Remember The Name, you did a good job in that song, uh, at least better than DeLay......"

DeLay laughed.

"We'll have to help Al figure out how to dile." Song Ya said to him.

"Shall we help at the end of the sentence?" Before coming, Delay should have discussed it with Al.

"Okay, let's shout for Al more." Song Ya nodded and agreed.

The two of them were completely relieved, and at this time there was a knock on the door, "Come in." "Taraghi and the people from the publicity department pushed the door and walked in," BET recently featured. ”

In a play called '? In the special report of Black Men Speak Out: The Aftermath', BET host Gordon went to the front line of Los Angeles to deeply analyze everything that happened there as a black person, such as poverty in the black community, the proliferation of drugs and guns, the causes of conflicts between various ethnic groups, the various misbehaviors of white law enforcement agencies before and after the riots, and some touching good people and good deeds that happened during the riots.

Basically, the report revealed that ethnic tensions have been around for a long time, and that the outbreak of black hatred was not without cause, and that local white-dominated law enforcement was to blame, such as what happened before and after the Rodney King case, and that they chose to abandon the governance of some ordinary neighborhoods in favor of the roads leading to Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and some affluent neighborhoods in the immediate aftermath of the riots...... In the end, thanks to the timely response of the Great Commander, the riot is now under control.

"Let's end this feature with the singing of APLUS and his companions! And stay tuned for a special session of in-depth dialogue with the Grand Commander that I will bring to you tomorrow. ”

After Gordon finished speaking, the TV once again appeared on the TV with a video of Song Ya singing Where Is The Love.

"This episode worked really well, much better than the blunt FOX." The staff of the publicity department said: "This Gordon is a very good media person. ”

"BET's stock is going to rise sharply, why didn't I think of buying some in advance?" Song Ya was thinking about this.

It didn't take long for a call from BET boss Johnson to call.

"APLUS, GO TO LOS ANGELES TOMORROW? The Commander wants to shake your hand and say a few words or something, in front of the TV cameras. Johnson said.

"Uh...... Forget it, Johnson, don't embarrass me, you know, that would embarrass me. ”

It's nothing for a song to be used by the elephant party to hype, and I went to share the stage with the commander at this time? That is almost equivalent to endorsing the other party's election, and all of Song Ya's donkey party relations will not be happy to see this 'defection to the enemy' behavior, he can distinguish the severity.

"Well, your song is good, it's going to be all-mitigating. In the future, we will strengthen cooperation, and leave us an interview when your album starts to be announced. Johnson didn't force it, "Also, a Silla lawyer named John Yoo asked me for your contact information, and he may be visiting you in a few days." ”

"No problem with the interview, Silla lawyer? Is there something he's looking for me? Song Ya asked.

"Say thank you or something, he'll give you a little honor on behalf of the Silla and something, I heard that there are some Silla people living on Clark Street, and your songs have helped calm things down in Los Angeles." Johnson finally added, "He is not an ordinary practicing lawyer, he is more of a legal expert, and he has a very good relationship with the top brass of the Elephant Party, especially Cheney." ”

"Mr. Secretary of Defense? Okay, I got it, I'll entertain him. ”
