Chapter 113: Sending a Girl
"Hey, NAS bro...... Yes, I'm back in Chicago, I can't go to the party, say hello to Rakim for me. ”
The pre-arranged party in New York can only be pushed off, "Is it?" Big Professor's album on sale in July? Publicity is about to start in May? Okay, I see, no problem, I'll get the DJs in Chicago and Detroit then......"
As a result of Cooper's theory of bringing goods, the resources borrowed by Rakim and others in New York during the I feel it coming propaganda were about to be rewarded. After all, it's a mutually beneficial cooperation, the other party helped first, and he had to repay the debt, the big professor was brought out by Rakim, and he was the boss of NAS, and his Main Source band's debut album Breaking Atoms was about to be released, and the single promotion began in May.
"Big A, N.W.A's new album Niggaz4Life is also being promoted in May, right?"
After receiving a positive answer, he found a problem, his network promotion on the east and west coasts had crashed, and Remember The Name was also in the promotion period at that time......
"The ideal is beautiful, the reality is fucked up......"
It's late March, and he has to get rid of this problem before May comes, or the lame gang behind N.W.A. and the one-fifth country behind Rakim will never be vegetarian.
"What should I do?" He asked Big A, "One cake is not enough for three people." ”
"Don't be offended, you know that I support N.W.A. anyway." Big A is a fan brother of N.W.A., and he was beaten by Eskuber for this before.
"Push at the same time?" Song Ya asked.
"How to push at the same time? Three songs plus ten minutes together, plus the advertising time has to be close to twenty minutes, how long is a radio column? DJs collect money and collect money, but they can't devote all their energy to this kind of work, which will cause the radio station to be vigilant......"
Big A came up with the idea, "Chicago and Detroit are not enough to eat, we have to make the cake as big as possible, in addition to expanding the influence of Illinois, where Chicago is located, and Michigan, where Detroit is located, we can also try to include the neighboring states of Wisconsin and Indiana." ”
"Hmm." Song Ya nodded, the resources of the four states are definitely enough to satisfy the N.W.A. and the big professors, and in this way, his influence will be greater and the cost will be more......
"Big A, it's all up to you to do this."
He opened the schedule and said to Hayden: "Columbia Records arranged for me to start a large-scale promotion of Remember The Name in mid-April, which is the first round of the NBA playoffs, and you communicate with them to try to schedule the next events in these four states, and we will try to run all the cities to lay the groundwork for the publicity in May." ”
"Okay." Hai checks in, and then goes out to call.
"Hey, I'm not cheap." Big A is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he began to put forward conditions, in addition to giving enough money, he also begged Song Ya to arrange a heavyweight person to participate in his radio interview and raise the listening rate.
If possible, Song Ya even wants to buy his radio station, if the guy Big A can be his follower, he will be invincible when he goes out to promote in the future, but unfortunately he can't completely suppress him now, after all, the other party is a local celebrity in Chicago, and the two younger brothers follow him.
"Heavyweight?" Song Ya touched his chin and thought about it.
Two nights later, Mariah Carey came to A+ Records, Xinke DIVA, definitely heavy enough, right?
"Thank you for coming, Miss Kelly." Song Ya said, holding her hand.
"Is this your record label? Not bad. Curious, Mariah Carey walked around the studio.
"Where, it's a small place, and there's no comparison to Columbia Records." Song Ya introduced the employees in the studio to her one by one, "This is Andrew, this is Henry...... Al and DeLay, you know each other. ”
"Hello, Miss Kelly, we're your fans." The two technophils wiped their hands on their plaid shirts and shook hands with each other excitedly.
"Thank you." Mariah Carey is very approachable.
"The reporters are downstairs." Her assistant looked down from the window and smiled at Song Ya.
This is also part of this trip, the recent media attacks on Mariah Carey have been very fierce, the point is that she won two awards in the Grammys for the first time, around this, such as Mariah Carey's singing skills, the music style is not innovative, and the old problem lyrics are too plain, in short, she is not worthy of the Grammys for Best Pop Female Singer.
And Motura made the same mistake as Pablo, and he cared about it, just like Pablo was confused when he touched little Lowry, and he behaved very crazy in order to quell the media attacks. For doubts about his singing skills, he held a small unplugged concert for Mariah Carey, and in terms of music style and lyrics, he operated Mariah Carey to appear on ABC's heavyweight talk show, and asked the hostess to help wash the floor very hard.
As a result, this approach has attracted more skepticism, and the media people have a keen sense, and they smell a different smell from Motula's help, and the subsequent attack focuses on his relationship with Mariah Carey, and the president of Sony Columbia Records praises his girlfriend, which does not help Mariah Carey's star career in the slightest.
This kind of fact is not easy to wash, besides, the relationship between the two is not a secret in the circle at all, and Song Ya has heard similar statements from Daniel a long time ago.
This time, Motura had a whimsical idea to ask Mariah Carey, who was doing publicity in Chicago, to come to Songya to create some scandals between the two, so as to fool the media doubts during this time.
This practice of sending his girlfriend to the door made Song Ya speechless, and it happened that Big A made that request, so he agreed to it. Of course, he didn't dare to really give Motura green (for now), and he said hello to Mira and her agent beforehand.
“tell by my attitude that I most definitely from…”
In the recording studio, Songya finished rapping her part and gestured to Mariah Carey.
“In New York,Concrete jungle where dreams are made of Theres nothing you can’t do……”
Mariah Carey quickly picked up with the music, her treatment was very different from the original, but she sang the soul flavor very well, and the treble part was very relaxed, with some flowery notes and angry notes with a strong personal touch.
After hiding back in Chicago, Song Ya had nothing to do anyway, and took the time to produce the accompaniment of Empire State of Mind, and the first version of the lyrics of the RAP part was also made. Anyway, this song is also an apocalypse that I got with the other party, and I was still worried about how to talk to Moturati, but now that Maria Kelly is here, I just try it first.
"This song is great, it's amazing!"
After singing the song, Mariah Carey couldn't get enough of it, "New York, New York, New York~" She hummed a few more words, "I especially like the chorus." ”
"How about we work together to get this song out?" Song Ya took the opportunity to ask.
"Uh...... I'm going to ask Tommy first. ”
Mariah Carey is very simple, but the person who can be DIVA will not be stupid, she asked Song Ya for the recording version of the two singing just now, and said to take it back and ask Motura.
The two then went to Big A's broadcast studio to record a radio interview.
The participation of the popular DIVA made the listeners of Big A's program skyrocket, and he was happy.
However, Song Ya stood behind him the whole time, clenched his fists, and once Big A said something that shouldn't be said, he would punch him directly, and there was no price to say.
Under his military coercion, Big A was very honest and cooperated with Mariah Carey to successfully complete the interview.
In the early hours of the morning, Songya drops Mariah Carey to the door of the building.
A large group of reporters were stopped by her bodyguards, flashing lights.
"Come on......" she suddenly became nervous, her body tensing and whispering a reminder.
"I'm coming."
Song Ya smiled and stepped forward to wrap his arms around her waist, left and right, and rubbed his face on both cheeks of her, "See you in New York." He let go of his hand.
The flash illuminated the two of them as if it were daylight.
"Bye~" Mariah Carey waved at him, and was escorted by the bodyguards to get into the car and leave.
