Chapter 49: Popularity

A few days later, at the Chicago Music Festival, Mira became popular almost every hour, and the moment she entered Grant Park, the reporters who had been waiting for a long time rushed up, and the photographer's long guns and short guns flashed non-stop.

"Mira! Mira! What do you think of the protest by the South African Foreign Service? ”

"Mira! Do you have time for an interview? I'm Chicago...... Newspaper reporters! ”

"I've heard that white supremacists have sent you death threats, is that true? Mira? ”

"Mira! Let's stop and say a few words! ”

"Mira, look this way!"

"Mira! What is your view on the current situation in the Middle East? ”

"Rice ......"

Escorting Mira into the backstage, Song Ya rubbed her somewhat sore shoulders, "The situation in the Middle East, what the hell is ......" The two looked at each other a little helplessly and smiled.

Not long after, a representative from Columbia Pictures' distribution department arrived, and he first talked to Mrs. Jovovich alone for a long time, and then pulled SBK's publicity staff to find Song Ya.

"APLUS, YOUR ROMANCE WON'T BE PUBLIC, WILL YOU?" He asked Song Ya.

"Yes." Song Ya gave an affirmative answer, which she had communicated with Daniel before, and there is no benefit in the public relationship of a girl idol in this era, and this is the case all over the world.

He also asked, "Is it convenient to sign a non-disclosure agreement?" At least until we get back to Blue Reef, because of Mira, Columbia Pictures decided to raise the film's promotional budget, and we had to make sure there were no surprises. ”

"You talk to my agent, I agree in principle."

Song Ya called Hayden to find him.

Hayden also brought with him an executive from William Morris's agency, who also came to Mrs. Jovovich, and they wanted to get Mira's deal.

"Mrs. Jovovich, if this continues, you alone will not have enough energy to deal with Mira's brokerage affairs, and our William Morris has a long history, and in terms of professionalism ......," the executive began to flicker.

"Let me hear your conditions, I also received a call from CAA (Innovative Elite Culture Agency)." Mrs. Jovovich proudly gave the name of another top brokerage firm in the whole country.

"Of course, let's talk about it alone."

Watching the two walk away, Hayden said to Song Ya with annoyance: "I'll just do it first, now ...... Alas! Why didn't I think of it earlier! ”

Song Ya smiled, CAA is it? It seems that when negotiating the next contract with Hayden, it will be necessary to learn the trick of Mrs. Jovovich.

"HEY, APLUS, DO YOU HAVE TIME? Let's talk. That's when Delay came over.

The two found a clean place, and Dillay was very direct, "A+ Audio, why don't you have my share?" I came up with the idea, and I did it, and I thought you would take mine. ”

"That's right."

Song Ya actually thought about giving Dilai a position when he was running this company, and it was not impossible to even sell a little share, but he was later stopped by Song Asheng, "My accountant suggested that I use this company to avoid taxes reasonably, so ...... You know, it's not very convenient to have other shareholders around. And I don't have any plans to make a big deal about this company for the time being, and there are not many new synthesized sounds that I am currently going to make, just this time I recorded 'To De Klerk', and the licensing fee for the two tones SBK only gave less than a thousand dollars, which is not enough for me to register the cost of the company, do you want to join in and lose money? ”

Delay thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I agree with your explanation, sorry, APLUS, I'm a straight guy and said whatever comes to mind." I'm just a little confused about the future, you know, Mira is going to be popular, and this song doesn't have the status of our band members, it's yours, it's Mira's, it's not ours, we're just paid accompaniment for the number of performances, and SBK can replace whoever he wants. ”

Song Ya understood his distress, smiled and stretched out his fist, "It's okay, I like your character, rock and roll youth, right?" Haha, Delay, if you don't want to do it one day, come to me at any time. ”

Delay smiled embarrassedly and bumped his fist, "Thanks, APLUS." ”

"Mira, prepare! Fifteen minutes to go! The festival staff came in to inform them that they had hurriedly started preparing for the show.

As soon as Mira went out of the backstage, Song Ya heard the tsunami-like cheers outside.

"Yali, thank you!"

Today, Mrs. Jovovich's pager rang non-stop, and after she finished a phone call, she was very excited, and her name for Song Ya became a nickname, "Your song to Mira saved us and saved my husband, and just now the bank suddenly agreed to continue lending to his company." ”

Song Ya frowned, "My song is for Mila's Mrs. Jovovich, you can't use her money uncontrollably." ”

"I know, Mira's father was just unlucky......"

Mrs. Jovovich's pager rang again.

"When Mira is eighteen years old, persuade her to get rid of her greedy parents." Song Ya secretly planned in her heart.

Every day of the festival, Mira was more popular than the day before, and on the fourth and final day, she even overpowered all the rock bands in attendance, considering that the festival was mostly attended by rock fans. Whenever she sang Hua Q, the response harmony in the audience was already neat as if she had been trained, and the organizer came to ask her to perform again in order to please the audience.

The fashion and advertising circles, which were getting farther and farther away, seemed to remember such a person in an instant, and Mrs. Jovovich received constant invitations, and on the morning of the third day, the pager in her hand was gone, replaced by a Motorola brick.

SBK's publicists were also very excited, and all the remaining promotional trips were cancelled, and the invitations from all over the country alone gave them plenty of choice, which meant that all follow-up activities would be charged and expensive.

"I'm tired!"

Mira went down to the backstage after singing Encore, pouting and complaining, "There is an idiot who shouts at me in the front row every day, can you ask the police to arrest him?" ”

"Honey!" Mrs. Jovovich rushed over and hugged her, bouncing up and down like a little girl, shouting: "Do you know whose call I just received? Anna Wintour! Editor-in-chief of VOGUE (well-known fashion magazine)! ”

Putting them on the plane, Song Ya returned to his new home alone.

Opening the door, the small basket where the keys were placed neatly arranged with the two magazines of the Bulletin Board and the Rolling Stones, he picked up the Billboard magazine, opened the newly purchased Sony TV, and then put himself into the comfortable leather sofa.

The 'Trilon' technology makes the TV very bright, and the national sitcom "Growing Up" is being played inside.

Song Ya was not interested in the TV series of this era, so he turned on the TV, flipped to the singles list, and glanced at it roughly.

The second-hand store has not yet fallen out of the top 50 and is currently in the 44th place, and I heard that the studio version of Old Joe and Little Lowry has been recorded at SBK and will be released next week to save the market.

To De Klerk, who jumped from seventeen to third in one week in 'SNAP!' After The Power.

And the first one is Mariah Carey's Vision of love.

"Boring ......"

Song Ya suddenly felt that he had lost his goal a little, and lazily paced back to his room, sat down at his desk and opened a calculus exercise book.
