Chapter 33: Fascinated
The next afternoon, Song Ya was still lying on the bed, staring blankly at the mottled ceiling, not wanting to eat or move.
Ellie has been picked up by the 'silencer' in the morning to continue filming the music video, and she is the only one left in the guest room.
It has been more than two months since he crossed over, and he is basically in a fast-paced state, re-acquainting himself with all aspects of the new environment with high intensity, studying with high intensity, racking his brains in order to maximize the benefits of the apocalypse, and constantly running.
Now, he can finally take a breath, after the first apocalypse came, he was afraid that it was the only time, and when the second apocalypse came yesterday, he finally felt stable, there are two of them, there is no reason for no three......
Manor villa, high society, extravagant life, all eyes on it, as long as you don't do it......
And there's no El here, so I can finally get a good night's sleep.
'Didi ......'
The pager rang, he looked at the number on it, picked up the phone next to the bed, "Please transfer ......" The phone of the cheap hotel has no outside line, and the front desk has to record and collect money when transferring.
"Hey, I've already met Daniel."
Hayden's voice came from the other end of the earpiece, and yesterday he revealed to Hayden that he had prepared a second song, and after roughly agreeing on the relevant decision, he flew straight to New York to meet Daniel, full of enthusiasm.
"You have to be mentally prepared, Daniel is very much against having Mila sing this song, he has a big opinion of Mira." Hayden spoke very quickly, "Daniel recommended another female singer under his umbrella. ”
"Did he agree to my request?" Song Ya asked.
"He agrees in principle with you being the producer of the single, but opposes the inclusion of Mila in the audition ......" Hayden replied, "But he didn't say anything to death, Aplus, you have to know in your heart that this is not a single thing, and if Mila sings your single, then SBK will have to put Mira's album release on track within a year, which means that at least ten or so songs will have to be tailored for her." According to SBK, Mira is very rebellious and difficult to do, and she is constantly receiving movies, TV, commercials and catwalks, so she can't expect her to cooperate well with the publicity after the album is released. ”
"What about a mini-album? Five songs, the kind that can be done with one piece of vinyl. "Song Ya is still not giving up," her mother told me, that Mira gave up a lot of film and advertising opportunities for her music dream......
"Are you smitten by her!?" Hayden shouted loudly into the phone, "Mira's parents soon went to a big director's house as a housekeeper and servant after arriving in the United States, when Mila was nine years old, her parents used the director's connections to get her print advertising resources, and then kept shooting advertisements for her, and sent her into the modeling circle at the age of eleven, in the past two years, Mila is no longer favored by advertisers, and they let her develop in Hollywood, B-grade film small supporting roles are also accepted, TV series cameos are also received, Daniel said that she has to join the group to shoot movies in the second half of the year, Most of the performance consisted of walking around the beach in cool clothes, and she's only fifteen years old now! You can't believe a word of what this kind of parent who treats his child as a cash cow says! Can a child who grows up in such a family environment have a good personality!? ”
"This ......" Song Ya was dumbfounded.
"It's not clear on the phone, you better come to New York and meet Daniel." Hayden proposed.
"I can't go." Song Ya said honestly, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to resist when I see Daniel, do you remember the last time we had dinner together?" He played a song, and a few words left me in a circle. ”
Hayden smiled wryly, "Then you still have to come, Daniel didn't close the door, I feel like he doesn't want to say something to me." ”
"What you just said was told by Daniel, right? I don't think he can be fully believed in his words, for example, a company as big as SBK, and he didn't prepare a single song for Mira during the two years of signing? Then their approach is not very authentic......"
"You're smitten by her!"
“……”
Putting down the phone, Song Ya lay back again, he thought so yesterday, since Mira signed with SBK Records, other record companies such as Lao Qiao Music definitely don't have to think about it, and cooperating with SBK is the only choice. But judging from the feedback we got today, if SBK is not willing to sing the song to Mira, then what's the point of him holding on to a tree? To put it simply, without Mira, you can't get close to Mira, and without Mira, there's no need to choose SBK.
"If it weren't for Michelle's requirements for the release time of the single, I would have just started a record company by myself, and Lao Joe usually has two or three kittens in music? When recording songs, there are a lot of musicians hired outside, and there is no delay. An idea popped into his head, but soon a new problem came to mind, playing records in the south city would never get rid of gangs, and going to the north of the city would be too expensive to play, or a dilemma.
"No amount of money is enough to spend ......"
He sighed, instantly had the motivation again, got up and cleaned up the clutter that was thrown everywhere in the room, and went out straight to the MV shooting location.
Today is the second day of MV shooting, and the last day of filming in this second-hand store, and the rest is going to shoot in the studio, Ellie and Connie are seizing the last chance to concentrate on acting, and Old Joe is right, girls have a star dream.
At this time, the crew has already begun to dismantle various equipment.
"Honey."
When Ellie's performance was over, she flew into Song Ya's arms, "Are you here to pick me up?" ”
"Go back? Where to go? Song Ya smiled evilly.
Ellie buried her face in her coat, "Of course where we were yesterday. ”
"You little goblin......" Song Ya hugged her and flicked it lightly on her forehead.
Next happened to be Mira's scene, the camera was facing the curtain in the fitting room, she was wearing a cool little suspender on her upper body, neatly opened the curtain, appeared, posed, the cameraman immediately pushed closer, the camera stopped again in front of her face, she smiled at the camera very professionally, the smile dispelled some boyish and stubborn eyebrows, the girlish charm spread, the brown-red long hair with a little bit of gold, the jewel-like pure green eyes, the beautiful collarbones, and the cheeks are a little baby fat, it is really youthful.
"Uh...... I remembered, not today, I'm going to New York later, I have to go to New York later, I have something to do. ”
Song Ya said goodbye to Ellie and found the 'silencer', "Can you check me out before going to the airport?" ”
It was late when he got off the plane, but Daniel learned that he had arrived in New York and immediately invited him to meet him at a French restaurant.
Hayden was not present, there were only two of them, and Song Ya said while dealing with Provencal roast lamb chops: "I am very grateful to you for teaching me how to behave in the world, without your words, I would not have been able to get my BMI so quickly." ”
"I don't say those words to teach you anything, but to gain trust and negotiate business." At this point, Daniel should have had dinner, and he spent most of his time sipping red wine, "A business is done, we all have to look forward." ”
"Yes, you're right."
Song Ya agreed, if the second-hand store single can really sell more than one million copies, then this business Daniel can add millions of dollars to SBK's revenue, and under the coveting of Warner Records, he chose to get his own strategy first is very successful, "Let's look forward, about the new song ......"
"The song is yours, the words are yours, since you want to be a producer, I have no problem with that." Daniel put down his glass, "But Milla Jovovich ......"
"You don't have to worry about me, I'm your fan."
"Haha, thank you...... Daniel smiled, "So, I'll be straight to the point, Mira, I don't think she's going to be a successful singer, and ...... She's not my person, you know what I mean? She wasn't signed by me, her agent, her mother, had something to do with another senior SBK executive, and that person, who was interested in running for the position of general manager of SBK, was in the second half of the year. ”
"I understand, I understand, you also mean to ......" Song Ya picked up the goblet in his hand and tilted his neck, grasping the key.
Daniel nodded slightly, "I have the best-selling vanilla ice, the No. 1 Billboard team, and the Wilson sisters and Phillips combination who may even get the No. 1 on the annual list, my advantage is very big, I don't want to ......"
"Extraneous branches?" Song Ya wiped her mouth with a napkin, "So what can I do to ......"
"Unless ......"
"Unless? Belch...... I think about it, let me think about it......" Song Ya thought for a while, "I have to go and make Mother Mira turn against you and support you......"
"It's close, there's still ......"
Song Ya recalled the few times the two met, "Don't worry, I'll also take care of Old Joe, Little Lowry, and Pablo." ”
"APLUS, YOU'RE SMART, YOU'RE VERY SMART......"
