Chapter 525: APLUS's Quotes and New Songs
After two years of running-in, A+ Records' hip-hop and rhythm-blues music production capabilities have been very mature, and they can be counted to the upper middle level in the whole meter, and the direction of synthetic electronic music even belongs to the leading batch.
Although Say Goodbye is an apocalyptic song, the style and technique are not beyond the current era, and the pure standard partial pop style is contemporary rhythm and blues, so the recording went smoothly.
After expressing satisfaction with the official studio version, Song Ya, who felt a little tired and felt a little tired from entering the group again, did not choose to record her solo song again, but started another Get Up recording with a female voice.
hi, my name is so and so baby can you tell me yours
you look like you came to do
one thing
i started on the left
and i had to take him to the right
he was out of breath
but he kept on dancin' all night
In the Deep Sea Recording Studio, several teenage girls such as cousin Emily Jr., and Foxy Brown, recommended by Huang Yuan, lined up as backup singers, and after singing their harmonic parts, "You Try In......" lead singer Brenda opened her voice.
On the other side, Song Ya, Al and Common waited silently in front of the microphone to beat the beat, and when it was their turn to rap part, they immediately picked it up.
"Good, it feels good this time."
As soon as the song was sung, Dion Wilson's voice was heard from the speaker of the intercom into the studio, and the crowd and the musicians in the back row cheered and high-fived.
"Yo, thank you APLUS."
Foxy brown came over very socially to thank her, and Song Ya, in order to win over Huang Yuan, and should also take care of her little Chinese ancestry, so she asked Def Jam Records President Lyle Cohen to give her a rookie contract, and then gave her the opportunity to sing part of the original soundtrack of Dancing My Life.
She lives in Brooklyn, New York, where the descendants of immigrants from Trinidad and Tobago have their own little music circles and Miami, and their predecessors will take care of her.
"After returning to New York, I have a good relationship with Def Jam's veteran singers, and LL Cool J has a good relationship with me, so I can find him for anything."
However, this little girl's personality is a little unlikable to Song Ya, and she has been contaminated with too many bad street habits, Def Jam has sunk for several years, and the internal atmosphere is already very poor, LL Cool J is the big-name rapper with the best style and character in it, I hope to help her, but the favor will help here.
"LL Cool J, huh? I will. "The only thing that this kind of street girl lacks is self-confidence, and her actions and conversations always have the feeling of being the best in the world.
"Emily, come here." Song Ya calls little Emily out, she has a good conversation with Foxy Brown of the same age, but she can't follow the bad school.
"I still need to deal with it here, and ...... here" and Dion Wilson carefully studied the recording effect just now, Song Ya proposed revisions according to the original version.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh......"
Dion Wilson nodded and took notes.
"APLUS, IT'S TIME TO GO." Linda came in with a new suit to remind.
"Oh, here it is." After Song Ya finished the rest of the comments, she left A+ Records with her and rushed to the Sears Building, where he will be interviewed by the two media today.
The real estate industry is booming on the East and West coasts, but Chicago and Detroit are still in the Midwest, and Sears Group sold the building to a Boston-backed company after suffering a huge loss, but since last year, one-third of the building's floors have been vacant, making it a very difficult situation.
"Long time no see, Miss Barnes."
He met Chicago Tribune Barnes in a room in the building overlooking Lake Michigan.
She has had a good relationship with herself for many years, and recently seems to have caught up with the Underwoods, who often have first-hand knowledge of Washington and Chicago politics, and is now a current affairs and financial columnist for the Tribune, and is well-known in the all-American press circles.
"Just call me Zoe." This girl with a wealthy background in the sports world shook hands with him generously.
"Your career is getting more and more successful." Song Ya complimented: "What's next, reporter at the White House?" ”
Becoming a correspondent in the White House generally means that the journalist is the top political mouthpiece of the media he or she works for, and his salary and social status are among the top in the journalist industry.
"It's too early to talk about that."
Zoe Barnes laughs, "Your career is really getting more and more successful." ”
Song Ya smiled, "I'm sorry, I'll go change my clothes first." ”
"Okay, please."
Go to change into suits, the two sit facing each other, there is no cover between the sofas, the camera of WGN TV in Chicago sets up the camera on the side, and the lens can incorporate the lake view outside the glass curtain wall into the picture, the standard high-end interview configuration.
The interview will be featured exclusively in Zoe Barnes' column at the Chicago Tribune, with footage of the event appearing in WGN's Finance section at a later date.
This is the first battle of the Dancing My Life Movie Publicity Action, the crew will first establish his investment genius as a male lead actor, stir up the topic of him in the financial industry, bring a wave of free popularity, and by the way, lead to his film plan, and pull people who care about financial news into the potential movie-watching group and increase their interest.
"APLUS, LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT DEAL YOU MADE WITH DOW."
After a few humorous pleasantries, Zoe Barnes gets straight to the point.
"You know Zoe, I'm a singer......"
Song Ya smiled slightly self-deprecatingly, "Actually, buying that fluorescent agent factory is not a very rational investment, I was still very young at that time, and I made a lot of money from music......"
"So you didn't buy that company in advance because you found out about the unique use cases of fluorescent agents, do I understand that correctly?" The topics were all agreed beforehand, Zoe Barnes asked.
"Yes, that's right." Song Ya nodded.
"And then you found out it works for parties?"
"Coincidentally, I had a rave party at the time......"
The duo certainly won't talk about every aspect of that equipment deal, but will start straight to the popularity of fluorescent parties.
"It sounds like it was just an accident that you earned that 100 million." Zoe smiled: "I also want to encounter this kind of accident, but unfortunately it can't be, are you optimistic about the prospects of Dow after buying the company?" ”
"Yes, very optimistic, maybe you already know that the patent of the light stick has expired, the competition in this industry will be very fierce, but the product has a broad space for development in the field of concert support. Bath's patents, combined with Dow's manufacturing and marketing capabilities, will give them a head start in the industry. ”
"So do you regret giving up this business? After all, you also said that the business prospects of glowsticks are very promising. ”
"Of course not, as a singer, I don't have the energy or the ability to compete on a large scale in a completely unfamiliar market, Dow is the best, and I trust them."
"The winds in Washington have been working in their favor lately, right? Regarding legislation, some shoddy glow sticks are prohibited from entering the market. ”
"Yes, because there are a lot of children watching the concert, and ordinary fans will not consciously guard against the support toys in their hands, I heard that the parents of the little girl who was hurt by the unscrupulous brand of glow sticks have recruited many victims who have suffered the same thing, and the scale of the class action lawsuit may be very large, I support them and stand by them."
With so much endorsement fee, Song Ya doesn't mind helping Tao boast more and say what they like to hear.
"As a 19-year-old billionaire, do you have any advice or advice on investment and financial management for the readers of Tribune's Finance section?" After beating the side drum for Dow, Zoe Barnes changed the subject.
"I don't have much to say......"
Song Ya smiled, "You know, my main business is still music, and the money to buy Barn Company also comes from record income, and my impulsive investment at that time has nothing to imitate, no, I don't recommend anyone to imitate me at all." If I hadn't been inspired by the Rave Party and had noticed a new idea to use fluoresceros, it would have been a standard failed investment. ”
"You're so humble that only makes people more jealous of APLUS, you've done a great job and you have reason to be proud of it."
"Thank you...... Uh......"
A plastic bag flew over outside the glass curtain wall, disrupting Song Ya's thoughts, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "Actually, it can't be said that I am humble, my idea is from the heart, although it seems that I have made a very good business...... Let's put it this way, for example, you know that Chicago is also known as the Windy City, and it is windy all year round......"
"Sometimes, as long as the wind is strong enough, pigs can fly. ”
"What do you mean?" Zoe Barnes looked down and flipped through the script in his hand, there was no such sentence.
"In fact, doing business is like this, the luck factor will occupy a major position at a certain point in time, and when you encounter a good outlet, the pig can fly, but do you think that pig has a lot of vision and ability? Not necessarily. Song Ya explained.
"So you're likening your success to a pig on the cusp?" Zoe Barnes understood, and she laughed, "It's an interesting argument, and it might become a quote in the investment world." ”
"That's pretty much it."
The interview lasted about half an hour, and Song Ya saw Delay appear behind the camera, and he must have found it in a hurry, "Let's take a break?" He proposed to Zoe Barnes.
"Okay." Zoe Barnes agreed, and the WGN people turned off the cameras.
"What's the matter?" Song Ya left the couch and walked to the corner with Delay.
"Pérez Prado's family reached out to me to inquire about the recording progress of your film's soundtrack, and they couldn't hold back, Mambo No. 5 of the transfer of cover rights have a play. DeLay was excited, "How do I get back to them?" ”
"Really? Don't worry, tell them that I don't need the cover rights to that song anymore, my movie soundtrack is almost finished, and I don't have a copy of that song. ”
This is indeed good news, and Song Ya replied: "You ask Dion Wilson to get the track list of my soundtrack, show them it, and make them completely dead." ”
Anyway, the Apocalypse song originally belonged to the movie soundtrack, but Song Ya was going to put it in the reserve of the second college, but Pérez Prado's family didn't know, and they definitely didn't want to lose a big buyer like themselves, and the compromise was predictable.
"What if they agree to transfer the cover rights? Where is your psychological price? Half of the composition royalty? Delay asked, "Are you OK with this condition?" ”
Whew...... Are you ok!?
Song Ya's ears suddenly sounded with a demonic Chinese accent of English.
“APLUS?” Delai looked at Song Ya, who was holding his forehead and pondering, a little strange, "Do you want to seize this opportunity?" ”
Whoo!
Angelina baby please, Please baby be mine
Angelina do your chacha, forget about the time
Sign your name across my heart, honey ain't that smart
Angelina ready, steady-start
"Uh, is there someone named Angelina here?" Instead of answering Delay's question, Songya asked Zoe Barnes out loud about them.
Zoe Barnes and the WGN people looked at each other blankly and shook their heads.
We can chacha on the floor, we can chacha on the couch
Baby, we can chacha, all around my house
We can chacha in the night, chacha till two
And if you chacha me, I have to chacha you
Oh Angelina, Angelina, Angelina
The sudden arrival of the apocalypse music, the content of the lyrics and the names of the people have nothing to do with the scene, and Song Ya feels a little abnormal.
“APLUS? How so? Pérez Prado's family is waiting for our reply, and they seem to be in a hurry to complete the deal, which is a good opportunity for us. "Is it okay to pay half of the royalty for the composition?" ”
"Yes."
Song Ya pulls her thoughts back to reality, the original voice of the New Apocalypse song and the singing Mambo No. The singer of 5 is exactly the same, it should be a person, maybe it is the connection to get the apocalypse, "So, if you ask Pérez Prado's family again, I want more than one song." ”
He asked Zoe Barnes for a pen and paper, and simply wrote down the tune of the apocalypse song Angelina that he had just gotten, "Two songs, half of the royalty of the composition, give it and trade it, if you don't give it, forget it." ”
"Okay, I'll do it." Delay hurried away.
