Chapter 291: Watching the Exhibition
"It turned out to be a woman rapping ......"
Song Ya was shocked by the new Apocalypse song, although this London Bridge (London Bridge) is the first hip-hop song that can't be drooled anymore, and the lyrics and metaphors are quite lewd, but the melody is extremely catchy, and it is still a rap solo (solo) that is basically not involved in female singers now, and the 'future' Fishy skills are very deep.
BABYFACE's TLC is not a girl rap group, only Lisa 'Left Eye' is in charge of the hip-hop part of the song, and their main style is rhythm and blues. Although there are many other elements in London Bridge, there is no doubt that it is dominated by pop rap style.
He quickly figured out a few things.
Whether it is out of friendship, affection, or business, this song must still be handed over to Fergie, and she is the most suitable to sing this song.
In the other world, the future Phigi will definitely be popular, so if you want to hold her firmly in your hands, her next contract must start planning how to get it at the lowest cost. So before getting the next contract, don't take out this song for the time being, once it is taken out, a shrewd girl like Fergie will definitely be able to detect that she will be popular.
Becky's debut album now has two strong singles, i hate u i love u female solo version and London Bridge, and the style is already very fragmented, and other songs can no longer exceed the style of these two songs, saving the mistake of repeating her debut album.
After the advent of this song, I am afraid that after the genre pioneer of rap-sing-speaking and Chicago rap, I am afraid that the name of integrating hip-hop masters will not be able to run, plus the unknown style rhythm and blues song Young Dumb that has existed, and I will definitely have a place in the historical evaluation of the music scene in the United States in the future.
The more I thought about it, the happier I became, when order suddenly got out of control on the dance floor outside, and there seemed to be a commotion.
"Hey, hey! Stop Tony! ”
Song Ya looked up and saw that his henchmen were grabbing a strange white man under the leadership of Tony, Tony's fist had been raised, and he hurriedly shouted to stop him, "What's going on?" ”
"He dares to do something to your chick." Tony said.
Song Ya saw a clear slap mark on that person's face, and turned her eyes to Fei Ji, it should be that Fei Ji's arrogant demeanor just now gave the other party an illusion, thinking that she was a girl who could get started casually.
With tears in her eyes and two tear marks on her face, Petgi lifted her leg and stomped the man's thigh with her pointed heel.
"This young lady, please calm down." The venue's security personnel rushed over to separate the two sides, "Please don't break the rules here. ”
Tarraghi poked his waist in the back, signaling that the BBC reporter was still beside him, Song Ya saw that the guy who was beaten didn't speak, and he didn't say anything, indeed, a few big and three rough black people on his side swarmed up, and chose to work hard without any chance of winning.
"Stop fighting, let's go, Taraghi, settle the bill."
He tucked Phigi under his arm and led the way outside.
"Longer-eyed boy." Tony left the next sentence, and the group hugged each other out, and when they reached the door, the salon manager chased them out.
"MR. APLUS, YOU HAVE BEEN FLAGGED AS AN UNDESIRABLE GUEST AT THIS SALON." The other party said.
"FXXK, whatever you want." Song Ya didn't bite him, and he wouldn't come in the future anyway.
"You've got monitoring, don't you? I'M GOING TO KEEP A BACKUP, MR. APLUS DOESN'T WANT TO BE TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT BY THE MEDIA IN THE FUTURE. Old Mike didn't hurry to leave, and said to the manager.
The manager nodded, went back and got a box of videotapes, and handed them to Old Mike.
"APLUS, I DON'T HAVE TO WRITE THIS PARAGRAPH." The BBC reporter said with a smile.
"It's okay, if you don't write it, I guess the news will get out tomorrow." Song Ya glanced at the paparazzi on the street, it was better to simply sell it, it was not a big deal for a hip-hop singer to fight in a bar or something.
Anyway, the trip to the UK was like this, in the fifth week, Where Is The Love won the first place on the UK Gold Chart in full accordance with Motula's design, and I heard that it also sold well in Germany, Australia and other places, and the results were quite satisfactory to Song Ya.
The group returned to Chicago, and in the fifth week, Where Is The Love was still the first on the Billboard double list, but it was already in jeopardy, and Song Ya was not so popular that she could still maintain her popularity without appearing in the media in the United States for nearly a week, but it didn't matter, due to the delay effect, she won another week next week, and she just successfully handed over the top of the list to Mariah Carey.
Kris Kross is a bit miserable, the singles and albums are all suppressed by Song Ya, Song Ya has won the first place for as many weeks, and the two children have won the second for as many weeks, this is also because they signed a small label under Sony Columbia Records, and there is Motura pressing, otherwise they will change the artists of other big record companies, I am afraid that after finding out that something is wrong, they will start to make small moves against Song Ya behind their backs.
"Rap plus pop, love songs, Fergie's first album should be limited to the following."
In the conference room of A+ Records, Song Ya called Phigi to have a meeting with Dion Wilson, DeLay and others.
"Rap? Fergie alone? ”
Dion Wilson was surprised and confirmed: "There are no girls in this field yet. ”
"Our company happened to be the first one." Song Ya will not reveal the matter of London Bridge to anyone for the time being, "You can choose from the company's lyrics and music reserves." ”
"Well, that's a gimmick." Dion Wilson thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"Jimmy, you also have to help Fergie collect the songs, ask more about her friends in the circle, her relationships, or something, anyway, do your agent's job."
Since there were no objections, Song Ya announced the adjournment of the meeting.
"Thank you, dear." After being well scared in London, Fergie also knew that the trick of getting rid of Song Ya by losing her temper was no longer working, and now she began to change her mind, "I know you are the best for me. She kept using tenderness and sweetness to wear down Song Ya's will.
"There's still an hour to go."
Taragy came in and reminded that he would go to the Chicago Coliseum to cheer for his 'good brother' Jordan later, and by the way, the Chicago Bulls broke into the NBA Finals again and were beating the Portland Trail Blazers.
"Hmm." Song Ya looked at them and told Taraghi to close the door, "There's still some time, do you remember the two main towers in Tower Bridge?" ”
"Remember, what?" Fergie asked.
"We ...... Taragi you come here, Phigi you come here......"
After watching the NBA, the next day he went to the International Summer Consumer Electronics Show in Chicago to stand up for innovative technology.
"The PCs of my record company also use sound cards from innovative companies, which are very easy to use."
Song Ya smiled and said to the reporters who came to see the exhibition, Tony and the others spread around the booth to protect, but it didn't seem to be necessary, and the IT man who came here was not very enthusiastic about him.
"Yes, I love the sound card."
"Haha, of course not, the record production is not civilian equipment. Which one? I'm not going to advertise for them, and they don't give me money. ”
Twenty minutes passed quickly, and the people at the innovative company were happy with the results.
"Thank you APLUS, our cooperation has been successful." Mr. Hu, one of the bosses, happily shook hands with him.
"Of course, I will continue to support you." In April, Innovative Technology was listed on the NASDAQ, and Song Ya bought a million dollars of stock, basically smashing the advertising money that the other party gave him twice, and still looking for it.
"It seems that there are a lot of investment opportunities here...... "It seems that there are a lot of small companies." ”
"Yes, the tech industry is very promising, there are a lot of startups." Mr. Hu smiled: "Why don't I take you around?" ”
"Yes."
Song Ya visited the electronics exhibition with relish under his leadership, and the booths of large companies such as Apple that have no investment possibilities will naturally not go, he specifically looks for small companies that are not listed, and while watching, he tries to screen the Apocalypse MV in his mind, intending to copy the miracle of 'Huiyan' investment in DTS.
"The kind of visual effects that make movies?" Mr. Hu is an insider, and when he heard about the demand, he took him to the SGI booth, "Many big Hollywood movie companies use their products, and a server sells for hundreds of thousands of dollars. ”
"Really?" Song Ya watched the demo for a while with the help of the other party's staff, and indeed, he could see the shadow of many Hollywood blockbusters.
However, the other party is a listed company, and he thinks very highly of himself, and he is not very enthusiastic about himself as a hip-hop singer, so he stopped for a while, and then walked away.
“C-CUBE?” In front of a shabby booth as big as a small hot dog stand, Song Ya stopped, not because there was anything found in the music video of Apocalypse, but because the company was too similar to Ice Cube's stage name.
"Interested?" Mr. Hu smiled, "The boss of this company is also Chinese, Sun Yansheng, Yansheng!" Over here! ”
Unexpectedly, the boss of the company was looking at the booth in person, "Hello Mr. Sun." Song Ya shook hands with the other party, of course, in Chinese.
"Hello, hello."
The other party's Chinese is very good among Chinese, and there is no obstacle to communication between the two, but he doesn't seem to recognize the famous APLUS, who is worthy of being a friend of Mr. Hu.
"MPEG chips are they? What is it for? Song Ya asked about his products.
"Image decompression, that is, the compressed data stored in the disc can be decoded into sounds and images that can be viewed...... the other party asked his subordinates to start the show.
"This thing is amazing!" Song Ya didn't expect that CDs could not only be used to listen to songs, but also to watch movies! However, the other party's presentation effect is not very good, and the sound and picture quality effects coming out of the monitor are very rough.
"Yes, due to the limitation of the amount of data stored on the disc, the data needs to be compressed in advance, and some of the sound and image quality will be lost, and some will be lost when decoding...... "The other party said very sincerely about the shortcomings of his product.
"Do you accept investment? Angel investing? Song Ya's heart was moved.
"This ......" the other party was a little embarrassed.
"Hahaha, Mr. Sun's net worth doesn't need that kind of investment anymore." Mr. Hu laughed, "He is the founder of many technology companies. ”
"Uh......"
Song Ya's face darkened, why did he come to the front line with money and dress like an ordinary engineer? It's embarrassing for me, really! "So do we have a chance to work together? I'm interested in this technology. ”
"Of course, we are looking for partners who can help us use our chips in consumer electronics." Sun Yansheng said.
"Play the manufacturer of this format? That's easy to find, aren't big companies like Sony and Panasonic interested? Song Ya asked.
The other party was embarrassed again.
"Big companies have their own industry standards to promote, and they don't want people to get a piece of the pie." Mr. Hu broke the siege again.
"And the source is a big problem." Sun Yansheng added.
"I see." Just like the record industry, Sony companies control the upstream record resources, it's not that no other company has tried to build another set of music players, but there are no songs to listen to, what is the use of just manufacturing machines?
"In short, if there is an opportunity to cooperate, please remember me." The two sides left phone calls and said goodbye to each other.
"Graphics ......"
Mr. Hu brought it to the booth of LSI Logic, in short, there are many Asians in the consumer electronics industry, especially the proportion of East Asians such as notebooks, Silla Americans, and Chinese Americans is very high, and there is also a Chinese American standing in front of the company's booth.
"Hello, Huang Xun." The Chinese-American, whose Chinese was not good, switched to English after reporting to his home.
'Cang! ’
When the two held hands together, Song Ya's mind suddenly heard a golden and iron clash, and the sound effect of drawing a knife sounded like in a movie.
"This person seems to be a little dangerous, I'd better stay away from him."
After chatting for a while, Song Ya hurriedly pulled out his legs and left.
