Thinking about it in hindsight, Song Ya had a chill down his spine, what would have happened if he casually agreed to come down at that time? It was definitely a tentative remark by two Elephant Party senators, who deliberately attacked while they were chatting until their emotions relaxed, with very sinister intentions, they were both from military backgrounds, and they were deeply supported by the military-industrial complex and the All-Meter Rifle Association, so how could they speak for outsiders when it came to the import of civilian weapons.

Regardless of the fact that the quota for the sale of chemical equipment and the import of textiles is related to his own interests, if he also expresses his preference for China on the completely unbounded issue of arms imports, then it is likely that the senators who are always tightening the strings of struggle will find out their position, and the conservatives who have a lot of connections with the powerful departments are very ruthless towards the traitor.

"The quota issue is settled, and the negotiation at the beginning of next year will probably bring a few cents of room for an increase of 3.0 percent for China's textile quota."

Scott, president of A+ Apparel, called, "It was even better than we expected. ”

He only set the target at two percent, and Song Ya deliberately mentioned five out of eight, and he was already very satisfied with this result.

"How's it going this year?"

The time has come to the end of October of 94, and he is going to start summarizing this year's business activities.

"It's very good, our long-sleeved T-shirts have sold out several times, and the sales of short-sleeved T-shirts have doubled, and there are glowing belts, which don't sell well, but the profits are good." Scott said excitedly, "We have withdrawn the autumn and winter clothing product line, focused on T-shirts, the production and marketing costs are well controlled, and the year-end report will be very beautiful, boss." ”

"Good."

He didn't know if the subtle facial expressions on his face had been hidden from the two senators at that time, but judging from the results, they should have let go of their worries, otherwise they would not refuse to refuse the transfer of interests from the lobbying firm, especially McKeen, who had just been out of a similar trouble for a few years and was very cautious.

Praise for his impromptu response, Song Ya hung up the phone with satisfaction, the clothing business is in full swing, and the film and record business is also extremely successful, Dancing My Life has just been withdrawn from the Beimi Cinema Line, with a box office of 65 million dollars, and the overseas box office is also this number, with a total global box office of 130 million. The soundtrack of the film did not release a single, and it has sold more than 4 million copies in three months after its release, Be What You want to Be 4 weeks, and Say Goodbye, which will hit the follow-up chart, will wait for the end of the year to settle with Universal and Sony Columbia Records.

The fly in the ointment is the first album released for William Adams, obviously the quality of the record is good, but the market just doesn't buy it, and the gangster funk music without gangsterism hasn't even made a little wave, even with the full support of the Chicago conference, it can't sell more than 500,000 copies.

A+ Records and Sony Columbia Records later summed up the reason, still lacking claw ears and singles that can create hot spots, even if the overall level is good.

There is a good precedent is Mariah Carey's royal backing singer Trey Lorenz's first album, the production lineup is strong, DIVA personally co-sounds, the style is unified, and the level is medium to high, but when it comes to the market, it is mediocre and dies, and it can't attract any desire to buy from the audience.

"The release of Common's album Resurrection in November must be held to the death, no mistakes can be made, and I don't want William Adams' failure to repeat it."

He complained to Linda beside him, "He cost me a million signing fees." ”

"I understand."

Linda is a little more confident about Common's new album, "His new songs can't be short of topics at least. ”

"yes, but that's what I'm worried about."

As one of the few jazz rappers, Common has been dormant since he joined A+ Records in early 93 and carefully polished the new album Resurrection, and in this new song he continues his consistent position, lashing out at gang rap, especially the gang rap represented by the West Coast death row records, and after Sugnette and the braggart dad turned their faces at the end of April, now the mutual DISS of the East and West Coast gang rap circles has reached the stage of all-out war, Suddenly, such a singer who scolded together on the east and west coasts appeared in Chicago in the Midwest, and you can imagine how big the repercussions will be at that time.

There is a topic, but the pressure on all sides will increase suddenly, and Sugnette, who is on death row records, is not afraid of himself, but afraid of the street fans of the gang rapping.

"After Common's song was released, he immediately added security personnel, and he should pay more attention when he left Chicago to run the announcement." He told Linda: "What to say and what not to say, what to say where to go......

"I'll tell Common, and Dion Wilson and Al will be with him the whole time." Linda nodded: "What about you?" Will you openly support him? ”

"Its singers include Phigi who sings hip-hop, William Adams who sings funk, and Common who raps DISS gangs, and I'm not good at expressing my stance on this, but I can support Common himself." Song Ya said: "I said hello to Daniel, and when it was released, I tried to downplay the background of Common's A+ record signing singers. ”

“OK。”

Linda wrote them down one by one, "There are still ......"

"Honey!" At this time, Mariah Carey, who was dressed like a red envelope, ran in from outside with a stylist, "Quick! Change your clothes, it's your turn. ”

"Okay, okay."

He reluctantly began to take the Santa Claus suit handed by the stylist, as well as leather boots and pointed Little Red Riding Hood, which were also red, and had to be changed into.

It's already snowing in Chicago, and Mariah Carey is here to make a music video for the Christmas album.

"Wait a minute." The makeup artist touched up his face, and because Mariah Carey insisted that he make a cameo appearance in the music video, Sony Columbia Records was afraid that a black Santa Claus would have a negative impact on the album's sales, so it deliberately asked the makeup artist to cover up his complexion to the kind of bronzer that white people tanned.

"Actually, you don't have to bother, haven't you heard? According to the latest research, Jesus himself had a rather dark complexion, so it makes sense that Santa Claus had a black spot, right? Song Ya quipped.

"Hehe......" The white makeup artist didn't pick up the stubble and continued to work.

"That's right." Linda agreed, "Why can't we play white fairy tale characters, in the future, not only Black God, Black Pharaoh, Black Santa Claus, even Snow White, Cinderella, and Mermaids can also use black actors." ”

"Uh......" Song Ya made up the picture, wiped his sweat and nodded, "That's right." ”

Putting on clothes, putting on a hat, and putting the white beard and white eyebrows together, he and Mariah Carey walked out of the dressing room with two red envelopes, and the film crew outside was already waiting.

I don't want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need

I don't care about presents

Underneath the Christmas tree

"All departments are ready, start shooting!"

At the edge of a snowy forest, the two happily rush into the Chicago snow decorated with Christmas trees and small colorful light bulbs, and run and play in front of the camera.

The album and MV were planned very hastily, there was no specific script, and Mariah Carey held the snow in both hands and 'splashed' it on Song Ya's face, so he also fought back.

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true...

All I want for Christmas

Is you...

"Pay attention to lip-syncing, Miss Kelly." The director reminded her that she had a lot of fun.

The accompaniment of All I Want For Christmas Is You floated on the set, and she was infected by the festive atmosphere on the set, singing and dancing around Song Ya like a heifer, which was very joyful.

"Pick her up, pick her up APLUS!"

Song Ya skillfully picked up his fiancée with a princess hug.

Well? Why is it heavier? It must be that the Christmas costume is too heavy, it must be......

All the lights are shining

So brightly everywhere

And the sound of children's

Laughter fills the air

And everyone is singing

I hear those sleigh bells ringing

Santa won't you bring me the one I really need - won't you please bring my

baby to me

The two laughed like children.
