"How does it sound like it was written to me?"

Mariah Carey was quickly teased, "Suicidal, is your heart broken like this?" ”

"What do you say? My heart is broken...... It's all your fault. ”

Song Ya grabbed her hand and put it on her heart.

"Not a word of truth, little pervert!" Mariah Carey withdrew her hand and rolled her eyes by the way, walked over to Song Ya's makeup mirror and stroked her hair, "The gossip newspaper said you tricked Halle Berry into your house?" ”

“Shxt！ Those tabloids dare to make up anything, and Hallie just went to Chicago to promote and stayed at my house for a few days. Song Ya half-sat and half-leaned on the dressing table next to her, handing over the comb, "How is my new song?" Give some advice. ”

"Che, do Hollywood actresses need to borrow to stay at a friend's house? Warner Pictures can't afford to pay for hotels? ”

Mariah Kelly took the comb, "Alright, let's not pursue this. You just changed several voices to sing this song, do you have any special considerations? ”

For Beautiful Girls, in addition to pulling her voice to imitate the timbre and singing style of the original song, Song Ya also tried two other processing methods, one is the key similar to MJ in I Feel It Coming, and the other is the original voice used in Show me the money and Remember The Name.

"Yes, which one do you prefer?" Song Ya asked her.

"I like the first one." I didn't expect Mariah Carey to like the way the original singer handles the little fat man.

"Why!?" Song Ya was a little surprised, "Don't you feel a little greasy, a little oily?" ”

"But the voice is very recognizable, you know, it is very important whether this kind of saliva song can catch the listener's ears in the first place."

Mariah Carey's views on music are recognized by Song Ya, and as soon as she said this, the three options that Song Ya had hesitated about in her heart have already come to fruition, "You're right Mimi, I think I'm confused." ”

"Right? I've told you a long time ago, and I like the first one too. Hayden interjected inophintently.

Song Ya glared at him and pointed out the door with his hand.

"Alright......" Hayden had to walk out.

"Uh-huh......" Mary Carey scrambled to her feet, "I'm back in my dressing room, too." ”

“Mimi……”

Are you so afraid to be alone with me? Song Ya still wanted to keep it, but the female assistant and entourage of "Miss Kelly......" Maria Kelly all appeared outside the door, and he had to give up.

"BY THE WAY, DON'T CONGRATULATE YOU ON THE APLUS ......"

Mariah Carey walked to the door, turned to Songya and said, "Remember The Name is fifth on the Billboard annual list." ”

In 1991, Songya's four-week single, Remember The Name, ranked fifth on the Billboard annual list, behind Paula Abbadu's Rush Rush, and would probably have moved up the rankings if it weren't for Motula's continuous crackdown for several months. Of course, the number one spot is unassailable, firmly occupied by Brian Adams' I do it for you (Everything I Do), which is also the theme song for the blockbuster Robin Hood, the Prince of Thieves.

"Thank you."

Song Ya knew she was a little unhappy when she saw Mariah Carey's pursed lips as she spoke, and this year's highest song, Someday, was only 14th, while last year's Vision of love finished sixth, which is a step backwards.

"Billboard rankings don't really mean much, don't worry too much." Song Ya had no choice but to coax her.

"Hmph." She disappeared into the doorway with her thoughts on her mind.

"In addition to Remember The Name, your I Feel It Coming is also in the top 50......"

Hayden circled back, "Empire State of Mind is also very popular with professionals, and next year's awards season will depend on this song." ”

"I know, I know, but will Motura cooperate with me?"

Song Ya is all worried, although he and Motura have reconciled in business, the relationship between the two is now much colder, and the previous so-called 'having enough time to slowly mend the relationship' is not true.

"We'll be watching William Morris." Hayden didn't miss any opportunity to make a presence for his company, "Also, you don't cut ties with Steven, Quincy Jones, and BABYFACE, and the sprint for the awards season begins, and the black musicians led by them have a lot of influence on the Grammys, not to mention the Soul Train Music Awards they lead." ”

"These three?"

Song Ya pondered for a while, in the previous conflict with Motura, Quincy Jones shrunk, BABYFACE was rejected several times, and finally chose to reconcile with Sony Columbia Records, he will definitely feel a little mustard in his heart.

"NEXT YEAR'S GRAMMYS AND SOUL TRAIN MUSIC AWARDS, BABYFACE AND ATLANTIC RECORDS' STEVEN HAVE AGREED TO HELP......"

IN THE BATTLE FOR DONNY BRESTON, SONG YA TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE INFORMATION ASYMMETRY TO MAKE A PROMISE FROM BABYFACE AND STEEVEN, AND THE OTHER PARTY SHOULD NOT BREAK ITS PROMISE, BUT IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO SAY WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE.

"Help me find some excuses and get in touch with them."

Quincy Jones, BABYFACE, Steven, the three black musicians' friends had to be maintained, and the other partner of LAFACE Records, Reid, they had a lot of energy, and of course MJ had more energy, but MJ had some old 80s grudges with Billboard magazine and the Grammys, and Song Ya didn't want to ask him for help anymore.

"Okay." Hayden agreed.

Song Ya put on a baseball jacket similar to the little fat man in the original MV of Beautiful Girls, paired with jeans and a shiny A+ tag on her chest, walked out of the dressing room, went to the stage to meet with Mariah Carey and the pianist, and began to rehearse for the New Year's Eve party performance.

"I'll use this version then." The Sony Columbia Records crew began to play the prepared accompaniment tape, "APLUS, are you ready for the improvised words?" ”

"Ready." Song Ya walked to the marked position in the corner of the rehearsal hall and waved to the non-existent audience, "Happy New Year!" Everybody！ ”

"There's a blast of dry ice and colored bars coming out in front of you, don't be scared." Staff reminder.

"Okay. I grew up in Chicago, and now I'm walking around New York......" Song Ya sang as she walked to the second marker and motioned to Mariah Carey, "New York ......" she began to sing.

"It's perfect, Miss Kelly, you pay attention, when APLUS introduces you to the audience, the lights will be given to you, you have to be energetic in your appearance, and it's better to make some moves to the audience." After singing a song, the staff continued to remind.

"I know, I know." Mariah Carey waved her hand impatiently.

"APLUS, THE PRESSURE ON THE LYRICS IS ON YOU."

"I won't forget the words, don't worry."

The two finished the rehearsal after concentrating on preparing for a long time, Times Square is the landmark and center of New York, it is usually very busy, the stage can only be temporary, and it will be built on the same day, and the area will not be very large. In order to create a lively atmosphere on New Year's Eve, the lights, fireworks and accompanying dances will be extraordinarily exaggerated, plus the countless audiences in the audience, the scene is very noisy, so the organizers and the audience can tolerate the singer's lip-syncing, and no one will find fault with the two who choose to sing if they have a little situation.

"Call us, bye."

Walking off the stage, assistants, bodyguards, and some staff who came to ask for autographs, there were a lot of people around them.

"Bye, see you then."

I didn't have a chance to chat alone, so I had to say goodbye to each other, and we were hugged by each other and left.

"Samuel called......" Hayden became very excited when he got into the car, "Motura is going to pay you a large sum of money!" ”

"Is this guy finally willing to settle the record income?"

The news was expected, but Song Ya was still very happy when she learned about it, "YES! It's finally the day! ”

"Congratulations APLUS, you will become a real multi-millionaire ......"
