Chapter 491: An Unsuccessful Concert

The so-called Charles's troubles are still nothing, Song Ya's main purpose is actually for the two thieves.

They were unexpectedly caught by visiting DOJ and FBI agents that day, and then Schulhoff compromised, regardless of whether the two things were related or not, the professional thieves who could make Vicmackey return without success would definitely not work in vain, regardless of the employment fee, and ordinary people would not even be able to find a way to hire such a person, and Motura was seriously suspected.

But the two are about to be released from prison, and Song Ya is always unwilling if he doesn't try, this is Chicago, which he claims to be his own territory.

At another correctional prison affiliated with the state government for petty offenders, Goodman met with the assistant warden as described by someone on Peter's list.

"Don't make a fuss." Naturally, Goodman handed him paper and pen.

"How?" Goodman didn't react.

"Name, give me your name." The assistant warden said, "I will arrange for them to stay in the small cells where the target people are held, and then let the prison guards leave for a while, and you will take care of the rest." ”

"Uh, there's no 'one of ours' in your prison."

Goodman raised his hands, hooked his index and middle fingers, made a 'quotation mark' motion, and returned the pen and paper, "Can't you help a little more?" ”

"I'm sorry then."

The other party threw the pen and paper back in the drawer very unhappily, "Go back and teach your family's big star, that's not how things are done." ”

Goodman had to come back empty-handed to see Songya.

"I'm still too tender for this kind of thing." Song Ya sighed when she learned that she didn't succeed.

"Since you have chosen to stay away from the gang, it is better to have less of this kind of thing unless you have to." Goodman said.

"Hmm."

Song Ya nodded, there was no way, it seemed that he could only let go of the two thieves.

On November 2, he traveled to Miami, where Mariah Carey's first big concert began, and the Miami Arena was held in front of more than 15,000 spectators, almost as much as the indoor stadium could handle, and was home to the NBA team Miami Heat and the NHL (Ice Hockey League) team Miami Panthers.

According to the design of Sony Columbia Records and Performance Agency, Mariah Carey's music box tour had to focus all attention on her alone, so Song Ya did not make a cameo appearance or show up offstage, but sat in the VIP box.

He didn't go to the box next door to Daniel, Newman and other high-level executives of the company, but found a few guests to chat and watch.

"Miss Kelly's appeal is fantastic!"

A male rapper, who is also of mixed Chinese descent but has a more Chinese face than him, exclaimed: "The next step is to try to hold a concert in an outdoor stadium with tens of thousands of people, right?" ”

"Thank you for your good words." Song Ya replied in Chinese.

"What?"

"I said thank you for the compliment." Song Ya said it again in English.

"I can speak a little Cantonese." The other party replied.

"Thunder roar!"

"Thunder Roar ......"

“……”

The conversation could not continue, the two switched back to English communication, the man in front of him is Fresh Kid Ice, Chinese name wong won, so should be called Huang Yuan or Wang Yuan or something, he himself can't tell, it is the descendants of old workers from Xiangjiang to Trinidad and Tobago, and he went to the United States with his family in the seventies.

His rap group 2 Live Crew is the originator of southern erotic rap, debuted very early, was not famous at first, and began to become popular after the second album in 88 to 90 found its positioning, nothing else, relying on the lyrics to be funny and explicit, full of pornography and sarcastic remarks about society, and was even prosecuted by local prosecutors in Miami in 90 for this, and almost suffered a prison sentence.

Of course, this guy himself is not good at stubble, and he is the number one person in the local Chinese gang.

So Song Ya knew that he was Chinese, and he had a very close feeling, but it was because of his gang background that he didn't establish contact for a long time, and this time he asked him to meet very solemnly, mainly because the last time Sugnate came here to organize the Miami conference and tried to confront his Chicago meeting, because he was not careful in his words and deeds, he had a very unpleasant quarrel with the local record company and singers, and he was almost kicked out of Miami, Huang Yuan, let's call him that, was also one of the members at that time.

The new alliance organized by Sugnette and Daddy Boast and others is not dealing with him, so these people in Miami are the ones to fight for, and the third Chicago meeting at the end of the year should be organized again, and Song Ya doesn't mind taking the initiative to show favor and win them over.

"YO, APLUS, WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO SING AGAIN?" His companion asked.

"Next year, next year, my movie will be released, and then the entire soundtrack will be created by me." Song Ya replied.

"Are you relatives?"

"This ......"

"It should have something to do with it, right?" Huang Yuan hugged his shoulders very socially, "Even if my cousin is fine, I will tell you that in Miami in the future, all the people in APLUS will be covered by me!" ”

At this time, the music in the stadium plays, and Mariah Carey takes the stage to open the overture with an old song They Call the Wind Maria, from which her name Mariah is derived, which is significant.

After listening to a few songs, Song Ya frowned, the lighting and sound effects of the scene were a little out of place, in the large empty venue, her voice seemed to be very scattered, and the stage effect was also very average, and the theater configuration of the band accompaniment and harmony group was completely unheated in front of more than 10,000 people.

She can't dance as a Vocal (a singer known for her vocal talent and singing skills), not to mention the stage effects compared to MJ, Madonna, Jenny Jackson and even the outdated Paula Abbadu are all singing and dancing experts, and the visual effects are very good.

Different from the needs of the audience in the theater, the audience who comes to this kind of large-scale concert is basically to have a good time, and she can't meet everyone's needs.

And more than 10,000 people can't all listen to the whole concert honestly and quietly, and the annoying humming noise has affected her on stage.

"There's a new style of rap in the South now, it's called Trap, have you studied APLUS?"

Huang Yuan gradually felt bored, and he began to ramble.

"Of course, I love it."

Song Ya replied that some of the apocalypse songs he was going to put in the second college, such as "Whatever You Like", have a strong Trap style, which can be said to be a new style of Trap in the future that integrates other rap styles and rhythm and blues, "I have also done some research and plan to integrate it into future songs." ”

Just borrowed the mouths of these southern rappers in front of him to give the outside world a preventive shot in advance.

"Wow, young people just learn things fast."

Huang Yuan sighed.

"What about you? Do you have any plans to change the style for your next album? Song Ya asked him.

"We?" He and his group mates looked at each other, "Let's forget it, seriously, it's hard for us to change when we get older." ”

That is, it will not change, and it is true that the audience of erotic rap is very narrow, and it is more difficult for it to appear in the mainstream than gang rap, but their status in the small circle is good, and it is not so easy to give up the basic plate.

"Well, I'll be waiting for you in Chicago at the end of the year, and there will be a lot of friends coming, East Coast, West Coast, Atlanta."

This very unsuccessful concert came to an end, and Song Ya could see the obvious loss on Mariah Carey's face when she left, and she was a little distressed, and she was eager to go backstage to comfort her.

"Hey! In the evening we have a party for you! ”

Huang Yuan saw that he wanted to slip away, so he hurriedly grabbed him.

"I'm not going." Song Ya waved her hand, "I'm going to accompany Mimi." ”

"Don't spoil APLUS, in this way, you go to accompany your girlfriend first, we will wait for you as many nights as possible, you must come!" Huang Yuan shouted at his back.

"I will, don't worry."

This kind of social person is afraid of losing face, and Huang Yuan is the key person in establishing contact with the Miami rap circle, since he wants to win over the other party, he must not even give this face, otherwise it is estimated that the end will not be much better than Sugnette.

After being delayed for a while, when Song Ah walked into her dressing room, she happened to see her losing her temper with Daniel and the people at the show agency.

"The live acoustics are terrible, you shouldn't have left me in such a place and ignored it!"

Stylists, makeup artists, assistants and others were putting the finishing touches on her after the show, and she threw her hair wand in front of the dressing table, "I'm so angry!" I'm going to ...... if it's all like this for the next few games. I'm going to fire someone! ”

"It seems that the next large-scale concert must learn the lessons of this time, and the stage design, stage design, sound, and lighting must be comprehensively strengthened......"

Daniel had no choice but to shift the fire to the people at the acting agency.

"There are only a few games planned this year, and the remaining five venues are similar to the situation here, so it's hard for us to change anything in such a short period of time." The people in the acting agency can't help it, so they said honestly.

"Oh my God!" She lamented.

"In this way, we will sell fewer tickets, and we will not give up some of the stands on the scale of today......"

Daniel had no choice but to make amends, "changing the scene to the theater mode that Miss Kelly is most comfortable with." ”

"But the meaning is different, if Miss Kelly can take this step steadily, the future outdoor large-scale global tour ......"

The people at the acting agency were reluctant.

"Go for it, it's my decision." Daniel waved his hand impatiently, and he saw Song Ya who had just entered the door, "Let's go out and talk specifically." ”

The boyfriend came, and the assistant and the others quickly finished the work in hand and retired with Daniel and the others.

"Honey!" She cried, "My concert was a failure, right? ”

"No......"

In fact, Song Ya only met Newman in the corridor, and he took the random questionnaire that the audience participated in when they left the venue, and the evaluation was indeed not very good, and Philby, who came with Newman, also said that he could not give a positive review in the magazine.

She sniffed, "Pour me a drink." ”

"Don't drink, you just sang so hard, let your throat rest." Song Ya stopped.

"I'm in a bad mood right now!" She shouted.

"Alright, alright, just half a cup." Song Ya poured her half a glass of champagne, coaxed her with words, and persuaded her while she was in a better mood: "Daniel is the president of the company, you can't talk to him like this in front of outsiders, you have to save some face for him." ”

"I've always been like this." She said.

"It was Motura ......," Song Ya said.

"If it were Tommy, maybe this concert wouldn't be like this!" She blurted out, and when she saw Song Ya's face, she immediately reacted and said the wrong thing, and quickly changed her little eyes to pitiful eyes.

"On the contrary, these were all planned by Motura, and neither Daniel nor Newman had time to change them." Song Ya knew that she was very persistent and assertive about her music career, and she didn't get angry, Wen Yan explained.

"Hah, I told you!"

She pinched the dark evening dress on her body and trembled, "You still use the old Motura style to manage me, styling, personality, music style, media image, etc.!" No, even eating and drinking these are not free than before! ”

"That's what I told them to do to you, trust me, I'm for your good." Song Yaban raised his face, "Obedient." ”

"Sometimes I feel like you're an enhanced Motura!" She shouted again, "Obedient, obedient!" Even the tone is exactly the same! ”
