Not only that, but after the show aired, Song Ya's long-dormant first single I feel it coming sales trend has a clear recovery, and many listeners who support his remarks have chosen to buy singles to express their attitude, and even second-hand stores and to De Klerk have also gained some benefits.

"Don't you think it's a little strange this time? The four major TV networks collectively reported that there are a lot of discrimination incidents in Quanmi, right? ”

Song Ya later felt that something was wrong, and when she had dinner with Mariah Carey and the others, she said her thoughts.

"There are a lot of discrimination incidents, but it's rare to see them so clearly."

David Cole said while flipping through the newspaper: "The photographer is very close to the scene of the beating, and the level of photography is also good. ”

"In short, this matter should have a result soon, although the Los Angeles police are still stubborn, but they can't stand it, as long as a normal person who has seen the video, no matter black or white, it is impossible to stand on the side of the police. Even white supremacists don't dare to speak out. ”

Walter said: "APLUS, since your new order has been produced, please release it as soon as possible, while there is no need to spend money now, Mr. Motura has already asked once." ”

Song Ya was a little surprised, "But the MV hasn't started filming yet?" ”

"That's not in a hurry, many singles are released first and then supplemented with MVs, your song remember the name is very optimistic to everyone, there will no longer be only a one-month promotion period like I feel it coming, the plan formulated by the publicity department is as long as several months, in short, we will let it appear on the shelves of major video stores first." Walter replied.

"Okay." The marketing strength of Sony Columbia Records is undoubted, and Song Ya agreed.

"Is this time another money-saving MV?" Roberto Clevard asked with a smile.

"Pretty much."

Remember the name's original MV will not cost much more than I feel it coming, except for more people, Song Ya plans to go back to Chicago to shoot, and party at the A+ record office, and by the way, he will do it.

"Our propaganda department really loves you to death." After David Cole finished speaking, all four men laughed.

"Huh?"

Only Mariah Carey didn't laugh, she was still drinking sullenly, and the four of them realized that they had just chatted happily and left her out in the cold.

"Miss Kelly, you don't have to worry about the critics' criticism, they're jealous." David Cole persuaded.

Since the Grammys were two of the best newcomers and best female pop singers, music critics have begun to find fault with Mariah Carey, and the attacks have mainly focused on two points, one is that the lyrics in her songs are too plain, and the other is that she thinks that Sony Columbia Records and Motura are behind her awards.

There is nothing to say about these two points, although Song Ya and her are friends, but the first time she participated in the Grammys, she won two awards, and no one believed that Motura was not working hard behind her back. As for the lyrics...... It's a bit plain, but there's a reason for that, most of the lyrics are done by Mary Carey herself, in order to sing the most difficult song for her good voice, and it doesn't take literature as the first purpose, and it's inevitable to be plain.

But those music critics, especially the members of the NARAS (National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences) who are eligible to vote at the Grammys, criticized them one by one very mercilessly, as if they didn't vote for Mariah Carey at that time, and the question is, they didn't vote, how did she get the award?

Those guys were in place by Motura PR before the awards, and now they are starting to clear up again.

"What are you doing with those people?"

Song Ya also said: "After winning the award, your record sales exploded, and the album and singles went to 10 million, right?" ”

"Hmph." Mariah Carey snorted softly in a smug voice.

"But you can't be too obsessed with showmanship, the single of the same on the second album Emotions still follows the old path of the first album, and those people will still talk about it when the time comes." The honest Walt poured a basin of cold water, "Besides, it's not good for your voice to keep posting this kind of song, there will always be a day when the concert will be held." ”

Mariah Carey pouted.

"Walt, shut up, we know our songs."

David Cole laughed and scolded that Emotions was written by him and Roberto Claywell, and they added Songya, and the three of them made Mariah Carey happy, and then finished the dinner and went home.

Song Ya never mentioned the Empire State of Mind, although this song was an apocalypse when she was with Mariah Carey, but if she rashly proposed to sing with the other party, there were too many things involved.

First of all, Mariah Carey is a new DIVA, but it is not comparable to the status of Lowry Jr. or Mira at that time, and it is easy to be mistaken for wanting to take advantage of the chorus when she proposes to sing it herself.

Secondly, Mariah Carey's album is basically organized by Walter and the three of them, and it is easy to cause conflicts of interest if they insert a foot into it.

Also, Mariah Carey is now in an adult lyrical style, and the main audience is white, most of whom don't listen to it at all, and even hate rap music, and if they can really cram Empire State of Mind into their albums, it may cause sales to drop.

In short, Song Ya hasn't figured out how to mention this matter to Sony Colombia yet, he plans to record an original version according to the old method for the time being, and then talk to Motula honestly, and he can't destroy all the connections he has built in Sony Colombia because of a song.

But now that the song is not on the agenda, he is not in a hurry.

Next, it took him half a day to work with DeLay and Al to work with the publicity department to shoot the cover of Remember the Name's single.

Mila's film has also been filmed, but the two still can't get together, and William Morris arranges for her to participate in a protest in Los Angeles, giving De Klerk the name of the equal rights pioneer she packs, which is stupid not to use at this time.

Song Ya also has his own protests to participate in in Chicago, and it just so happens that he has to go back to shoot the music video.

"Okay, so be it."

He handed back the final version of the album cover in his hand to the head of publicity, and the black silhouette of him, DeLay, and Al took up only a small part of the picture, with the mottled color blocks of the white walls in the background, and the single's name and other information shrunk in a corner, simple but recognizable. This is in line with the previous I feel it coming, with a black silhouette of him and Halle Berry embracing each other on the cover of the single, and the background color block is made up of the dim red of the sunset in the MV and the black of some strange rocks. Subsequent singles and albums will be in this style.

Then he met up with Marvota, Andrew, and Hunter, who were going to work at A+ Records, and the three of them would drive to Chicago together, after all, all the belongings in New Jersey would have to be brought with them.

"Hayden has gone back to Chicago, and he'll help you rent a house over there." After a brief explanation, Song Ya said goodbye to them and rushed to the airport with DeLay and Al.

"After participating in tomorrow's protest, as soon as the crew arrives, we will immediately start filming the MV."

Back downstairs at A+ Records in Chicago, Song Ya couldn't help but feel much more relaxed, his work rhythm was always fast on every trip to New York, which was really tiring.

"Maybe you should sign one or two new singers, every time we leave, this place will be in a state of empty buildings, spending money to rent a recording studio but not using it, it's too wasteful." DeLay smiled and pressed the elevator switch.

"Let's talk about it later...... When the three of Mawota come to work, this place is a bit too small, maybe wait for a bigger place. Song Ya replied.

"Old Joe's old equipment is almost out of date."

Al, who has seen Columbia's recording studio equipment, reminds.

"Hmm." Song Ya nodded, thinking about whether she could use the expected income of A+ Records in I feel it coming to borrow some money from the bank to upgrade the equipment, "Alas! Or the bank's money is well spent, and I don't feel ...... at all if I owe millions."

As he spoke, the elevator stopped on the fourth floor and the door opened.

Song Ya looked up and saw two girls running towards the elevator.

"Hey! APLUS！ Help me stop them! Big A chased out from behind again with his bleeding nose and shouted loudly.

Song Ya frowned, he wouldn't help Big A stop people, let alone girls, and hurriedly dodged out of the elevator.

Unexpectedly, one of the girls also changed the direction of running, and happened to hit his head in his arms.
