"So, APLUS, your single is set to release at the end of December, right?"

Mariah Carey asked after chewing on the vegetable salad in her mouth, sipping her red wine comfortably.

"yes, that's the plan at the moment, if the MV shoot goes well."

Song Ya replied that since the last 'iron cage conflict' incident, he hurriedly launched crisis public relations, and in more than ten days, he and the other party have developed into good friends who can often have dinners, the kind that talks about everything.

As for the trick, it's very simple, although Mariah Carey is five years older than him, she is actually a very simple girl, and she is a singing idiot, and in addition to singing in her head, she can sing easily, as long as she uses this topic as a breakthrough, it is easy to talk about it, such as now.

“I feel it coming…… I feel it coming。 ”

She improvised two sentences, in all fairness, her skills are a hundred times stronger than Song Ya, who has been working very hard recently, and it is really as the Atlantic Records' Steve said, just a few words were expressed by her flowery voice, and the effect recorded by Song Ya is completely two styles.

“Bravo！ Bravo！ Song Ya applauded lightly and complimented him profusely.

The other three white men in the room could only clap along with him, except for Walt, the other two being David Cole and Roberto Clevier, the producers and composers of her next album. It stands to reason that they and Song Ya are all high-level people in the music industry who can compose music and produce, so they don't have to be so attentive to a female singer, but don't forget her other identity, the girlfriend of the president of Sony Columbia, so she can be regarded as half of their bosses.

"Hmph." She triumphantly picked up her cup and took another big sip.

"Your voice, Miss Kelly." The more upright Walt stepped forward to be a villain.

"I know, I know, I won't drink this cup after drinking."

She put down her cup and laughed at the thought of something, "It was so funny just now, that Slash (guitarist of Guns N' Roses) has been FXXX this FXXX that has been in FXXX when he received the award, and the AMA's face is green." ”

Several people had just finished attending the AMA (American Music Awards) ceremony, and Slash was drunk and kept swearing when he accepted the award, which made the organizer very embarrassed and directly pinched the audio of the live broadcast of the whole meter.

"Popular rock stars, all like birds." David Cole pouted with disdain, "And Bon Jovi [another rock band] whose personal lives are all in shambles. ”

"We didn't harvest the grain this time." Mariah Carey ruffled her hair and pretended to be casual.

"The AMA isn't professional enough (according to listeners' preferences), and the Grammys (judged by professionals) give you a chance." Walter hurried to coax her.

She was immediately happy, "Really? Is there a real chance? ”

"There's a great chance, you're totally qualified to win the best newcomer, and it's not impossible to be the best female pop singer, we have Tommy." Roberto Clevard said.

"yes, Mr. Motura can do anything."

Song Ya didn't miss any chance to pat himself on the back, even if the target was not present, he raised his glass, "We salute Mr. Motula." He gestured to Maria Kelly, "To you, Miss Kelly." ”

Everyone clinked glasses and drank a round, and Walter smiled: "APLUS, where did you learn this set, aren't you a kid from the Chicago ghetto?" ”

"I'm different, I'm good at both character and learning, and I often participate in affirmative action activities." Of course, Song Ya will not forget to brag about herself, "I also went to South Africa a few months ago and took a photo with Mr. Mandela. ”

"Boy, you're good."

Being able to sit together for dinner, everyone naturally admired each other, and David Cole boasted: "Your first letter to De Klerk is about South Africa, right?" ”

"Daniel's marketing tactics for the South African government on that song are also a must." Walter boasted.

"Ahem." Roberto Clevard coughed dryly twice and turned the topic to Song Ya's MV shooting, "I have seen the MV shooting plan of I feel it coming, is it necessary to be so simple?" Don't save money for us Colombia. ”

In this era, filming MVs is just a means of promoting the song, and the cost is the responsibility of the distributor.

Song Ya naturally won't say that the original version is like this, "I personally don't like that kind of extravagant MV, and the MV to De Klerk is also my idea, the camera follows Mira all the way to shoot, even if I listen to the song, the response is not bad." ”

"It's also a philosophy, but don't say that to the media, lest they overdo it and imply that you mean something." Walter reminded.

"Uh...... I see, thank you, Walt. ”

The MJ brothers and sisters have always taken the path of making MVs, and MJ is the top brand in the top brand of Columbia Records, Song Ya understands that her words are indeed easy to be interpreted by the media 'freely'.

Roberto Clevell asked, "What about the heroine?" Are you sure? ”

"No, I don't." Song Ya looked at Mariah Carey, "Miss Carey is willing to be the heroine of my MV?" You're the most beautiful woman of my friends......"

"Hahaha...... Thank you. "The other party was very happy.

"Miss Kelly, no, List (privately the name of grading according to the degree of celebrities, there is a word called coffee position, one meaning) is not right."

Walter was afraid that Mariah Carey would happily agree, "APLUS, you can find a young female singer or actress with a C-List or below, and if you are a model, you can raise it to a B-List." ”

"Do you have any recommendations?" Mira is from SBK and can't participate in the music video for Columbia, and Song Ya doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of offending people last time.

"Our South American branch is promoting a Latin girl singer named Shakira."

Roberto Clevell mentioned a name, and it seems that he took the initiative to provoke the topic with a purpose.

"Shakira can't do it, can she?" Walter questioned, "The APLUS song has a little color, Shakira is only fourteen years old, and she is still underage. ”

"Yes." Roberto Clevard accepted Walter's claim.

The four men exchanged glances with each other, and there was no suitable candidate, and it seems that the relationship between men and women in Colombian executives is much simpler than that of SBK.

"APLUS, you can decide for yourself." Roberto Clevell said, "Need we do an audition for you?" ”

"I don't want to offend a big deal again."

Song Ya didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he quickly refused, and when he saw the incomprehensible eyes of several people present, he reacted that the other party might not have cared about SBK's internal affairs, so he described the dilemma of the last audition again.

"This kind of thing is inevitable in New York, as long as there is business to do, those agents will come back to the circle." David Cole smiled: "Since you're afraid of dealing with them, hurry up and settle the heroine, it's just a low-budget MV." ”

At the end of the dinner, the group left the high-end French restaurant and went home.

Mariah Carey was now A-List, and the bodyguards and assistants rushed out the back door of the restaurant.

Song Ya returned to the hotel and remembered the girl she met in South Africa, but unfortunately she and her agent never took the initiative to contact her, and then forgot to ask for their contact information at that time, and the clue was completely interrupted.

After a moment's consideration, he picked up the phone and called Hayden.

"Doesn't the black music scene in New York have an opinion about you? Wouldn't it be just right to mend the relationship with one of their people this time? Hayden had a very good idea.

"yes, but who am I looking for?" There is no such thing as a big man in the black music scene in New York, and Song Ya is worried.

Coincidentally, someone brought a pillow while he was dozing off, and the phone call from Steve, the black executive of Atlantic Records, reached the hotel.
