Chapter 430: Positive Example
Is there something big on MJ's side that requires Motura to go to Neverland for a meeting late into the night? He asked Hayden.
Sandy Glenn didn't tell the truth, and it shouldn't be for the sake of touring.
"Didn't read the gossip magazine?" Hayden replied, "They're discussing how to announce their breakup with Brooke Rose, right?" The two hadn't appeared together for a while, and the media had already sensed that something was wrong. ”
"Didn't they all start showing off their rings at the beginning of the year and get ready to get married?" Song Ya asked.
"MJ's personality ...... Don't like Brooke Thread like this? I felt like Brooke was trying to contain his embarrassment when he was showing off his diamond ring. Hayden guessed.
"Xiuxiu diamond ring is nothing, right?"
Song Ya subconsciously touched the jewelry box in her arms, "So MJ proposed to break up?" ”
"Can we stop gossiping? The relationship between a man and a woman is difficult for outsiders to figure out. Hayden began to get down to business, "Yeremov seemed to be intoxicated with the feeling of being back in Hollywood, and he was a bit high-profile there. ”
"It's normal for people to go to Los Angeles to stare after the exam and on vacation, and share more during this time."
Song Ya warned him: "Don't drop the chain of William Morris's packaging service, I just called Donovan, although the cost of two million is not high, but this is my first movie, if something goes wrong with you...... Someone who knows my character, Hayden. ”
"I understand that this money is not the best, but we can have the best value and professional cast and crew for the Dance My Life crew."
Hayden hurriedly assured that his family's two million package fee included the crew in addition to the main creator of the department, as well as some group performers and dancers outside the main dance group, which could save the crew a lot of cumbersome affairs, and for the brokerage company, they were originally professional in this business, as long as they sent a notice to the small brokers below, a steady stream of human resources could be gathered quickly.
The producer saves trouble, the agency can make money, and these resources that are not well-paid but rich in job opportunities can also be used to envelop and stabilize their small and medium-sized agents, a perfect win-win strategy, and Michael Ovitz, president of CAA, who invented this service, is indeed very deep in the study of the film industry.
The two chatted about the audition for a while, and now the audition requirements for all important roles have been announced, and there is no shortage of young men and women in Hollywood who dream of stardom, and now there are a large number of people signing up for each role, and I heard that even the number of female protagonists who have high requirements for dance skills has broken through three hundred.
"There was no shortage of Spielberg and David Geffen who introduced them, and even Harvey Weinstein helped people say hello to APLUS." Hayden reminded him: "Remember the time when the female singer was chosen to De Klerk? The situation is very similar at the moment, if you get too involved in casting and show control over the crew, then the pressure of these requests will fall on you. ”
"It's inevitable to offend people in the end, right?" How could Song Ya not remember.
"Fortunately, there are too many performance opportunities in Hollywood, and the bigwigs are not as good as the record industry." Hayden said: "If you are willing to follow the rules and choose an actor who can convince others, everyone is not surprised." ”
"We're always hinting at Amy."
Song Ya knew what the other party was saying, "Anyway, I'll make sure Amy enters the last two rounds of auditions, okay, don't mention this, before the final selection comes out, the external pressure will not be transmitted so quickly." ”
"Yes." Hayden asked again, "Did Jimmy find it?" ”
"I've found it, he's been helping Phigi settle the income of the first album, but it's still early, her album will be released in March, and according to Sony Columbia Records' regulations, the money is estimated to be available at the end of the year."
Song Ya rubbed his eyebrows, it's still an old problem, if Motura is already preparing to turn his face, the old trick of card income settlement will definitely be used, and it is very useful, "My own Where Is The Love single income has not been settled for half a year, I need this money to be injected into many charitable organizations, fulfill the promise of publicity to the outside world, and save real money directly as before." ”
At the beginning of the year, I saved 30 million to cope with this situation, but seeing that Mariah Carey didn't want to do much before and after the release of the new album, I took it out to invest in my life, buy stocks, houses, rings or something, and now I only have 6 million left......
This amount of money to start a 'rebellion' is not necessarily enough, but fortunately, the stock and real industries are making money, and he is not worried about not being able to mobilize sufficient funds.
"What does Phigi want to do with so much money? I watched her crazy list and commercial performances in the past three months, and basically didn't call me anymore. He asked Hayden.
"Looks like I want to buy a luxury house in Los Angeles." Hayden said: "The second single that Roberto Clywell made for her was a failure, and the market didn't buy it, that's known, and now it's the strong period of Jenny Jackson's album, which has an impact on female singers." ”
Fergie's self-titled debut album would release three singles, in addition to London Bridge, as well as an adult lyric produced for her by Roberto Clevell, which has now proven to be a big failure by the market. The third song is the solo version of i hate u i love u, this song was originally released according to Yeremov's plan to cooperate with the hype of the two people, but it is no longer possible, so it can only be planned separately.
"The thunder is loud and the rain is small, isn't it?"
The London Bridge started too high, and now it seems that there are many benefits, but it is not without its disadvantages.
"Maybe instead of using that lyrical song by Roberto Clywell, it should be a hip-hop song that Dion Wilson made for her to completely solidify her line." "A+ Records has a lot to learn from big companies when it comes to promoting new talent," Hayden said. ”
"Sony Columbia Records didn't do much for me, and many of the hot spots were actively or passively brought by myself." Song Ya said that the release trick, that time SBK helped Mila touch the porcelain South African white government, it was called a stroke of genius to borrow the situation, so he admired Daniel very much, of course, Daniel's approach will mostly consume the singer's popularity in advance, and now Vanilla Bing, Wilson and Phillips sisters, Mila, Little Lowry, these singers who were once launched by SBK are not finished.
"The quality of the songs on the first album is too high, and the conventional publicity and distribution methods are sufficient, so there is no need to risk the popularity by making trouble." Hayden took the opportunity to compliment.
"How's the record industry going now? I haven't looked into it in a long time. Song Ya asked.
"The wind is calm, and if you look at the rankings, you can know that they are basically old faces." Hayden replied: "The rhythm and blues genre continues to dominate the charts, and there is only one Tag Tea Whoo in terms of hip-hop songs, which is very strong, from Atlanta. 's popularity and discussion have decreased significantly, the number of activities of the Mi Fan Federation and the participation of fans have declined to varying degrees, and many music critics have begun to say strange things again. ”
"Well, I'll have time to find and listen to it." Song Ya doesn't care about the decline in popularity at all for a while, and it is impossible to concentrate on school and maintain popularity, there are so many good songs in the apocalypse, and as soon as the next album is released, it will definitely slap those music critics in the face, "By the way, I will also prepare an interview announcement for a female singer, in the name of A+ records, I want blacks and newcomers, and the template is TLC's Luo Songda." ”
"LOSONDA IS VERY POPULAR NOW, AND OTHERS WILL SAY THAT HE IS TRYING TO IMITATE BABYFACE'S SUCCESS." Hayden said.
"Whatever, there are male and female rhythm and blues groups or singers on the market that imitate TLC and Boyz ll n, and there are not many more than me." Song Ya didn't care, someone always had to sing the songs in my life, and when I felt that the original female singer of Eire State Of Mind might still be very young, I couldn't find someone else.
After a long conversation with Hayden, in addition to some serious things, Hayden also reported on Death Row Records and Bad Boy Records, 2PAC continued to interact with Biggie frequently, and Snoop Dogg had a Beef with another rapper on the West Coast, which was basically a bit of gang rapping, nothing new.
The next day, Old Mike returned to Song Ya.
"What are you doing back?" Song Ya was a little surprised, "You should stay in that house and not go anywhere." ”
"I'm afraid I'm going to fight Vic and them if they stay there, and no one will make it out of that door alive." Old Mike threw a box of cassettes in front of Song Ya, "I can't hold them down, but I think the four of them can successfully complete the task, they are professional." ”
"What is this?" Song Ya picked up the cassette.
"I transcribed some of the conversations from the phone recordings, and I thought those might be useful." Old Mike said.
Song Ya stuffed the cassette into the tape recorder, "Mi......" was Motura's voice, "I saw Dave Hall again at the headquarters today, what's going on?" He asked in a stern tone.
"I really don't know why I look at him so with colored eyes, Dave Hall is here to do the post-production for Dreaover, I want to modify the final effect again!" Mariah Carey replied impatiently.
"Colored eyes? Last time I didn't ask APLUS to go there, I was drunk by them! Motura said.
Uh-huh? The corners of Song Ya's mouth turned up slightly, it seems that Motura really didn't doubt herself? On the contrary, they are more wary of the people in Harlem.
"I just drank a little too much, I know where I was and what I was doing!" Mariah Kelly replied unhappily.
"Obedient Mi."
"I've had enough, will I use any other words besides obedient and obedient?"
After a few words, they quarreled, and after repeatedly entangled in the question of disobedience, "I'm doing this for good!" I don't know what kind of scum that Negro fat boy in Harlem is! Motura began to get more and more agitated, and he yelled angrily.
Song Yateng sat up straight, pressed the pause button, and exchanged glances with Old Mike, Negro is not a good word in the ears of black people, it is generally considered to be discriminatory, and the degree is lighter than Nger, and the word fat boy is also obviously unfriendly to obese people, this is a good handle, "Good job Mike." ”
"Don't get too excited, it's hard for this kind of recording to be accepted as evidence in court." Old Mike reminded him.
"It doesn't matter, public opinion alone is enough for him to drink a pot." Song Ya replied.
The argument continued, and perhaps the word was not used much in private, but Mariah Carey, who is of black descent, did not protest, "I just need him to help finish the song, is that okay?" I just want him to make music, and I'm not making friends with them. ”
"I don't know why Mi changed his mind to reject my proposal, but I warn you not to believe the sweet words of those black people, they have low self-esteem, they have low self-esteem, so they tend to overexert themselves when chasing girls, you know? Open your mouth is to spend a lifetime together, love for a lifetime, give birth to a lot of babies and the like, they can't actually do anything, they spend money indiscriminately, and it is difficult to support themselves! Just like his father......" Motura calmed down and kept persuading.
"Don't make an analogy with him!" Mariah Carey hung up the phone.
"Alas! Actually......"
Song Ya sighed, "I didn't say anything wrong with this, I just didn't like it." ”
Old Mike bowed his head, probably holding back a smile.
"I don't want to go on tour in that kind of clothes, nothing but black?"
The second phone call transcribed by Mike Sr. happened not long ago, and Mariah Carey was supposed to be protesting the touring costume, "I feel like revenge for my unagreed proposal!" ”
"I don't understand Mi." "The style has to be conservative to get a good impression of the mainstream audience, otherwise why do you think those formal occasions like memorial evenings, military events, inaugurations, etc., are so fond of singing with Whitney Houston or even Barbra Streisand?" Because we meet the expectations of the mainstream population, this is the most important thing. ”
"What about Madonna? She's ...... ball."
"There's only one Madonna, and she's not easy to learn, mavericks always take risks." "Didn't she and MJ come under fire for their anti-war remarks? Just because they can withstand it doesn't mean they can. ”
"I just don't want to wear clothes that ugly and conservative!"
"Will you die if you don't show two more pieces of meat? Don't argue with me about these frivolous things! APLUS is more sensible than small! Motura's emotions were out of control again, "Who do you want to learn?" Wearing a full set of photos like those ugly women in TLC!? ”
It's discriminatory again, but it's ......
"This is the feeling of using me as a positive example......" Song Ya was in a complicated mood, could it be that Motura really didn't doubt himself at all?
