“Oooh……”

“Oooh……”

In the 'iron cage' of the recording studio, Song Ya picked out the details with Mariah Carey little by little from the first sentence, "Don't change too much, Oooh, handle it ethereally...... Then, 1, 2, 3, 4......"

“NewYork…… Don't pull the high notes, close it in front, be sure to keep it......"

Mary Carey was naturally more serious, over and over again, "New York......"

"Yes, Grew up in a town,That is famous as a place of movie scenes......"

The two are in front of the piano, fully immersed in the world of music.

"If I could make it here,I could make it anywhere......"

"To have a progressive sense of hierarchy, and then Even if it ain't all it seems, I got a pocketful of dreams......"

“Baby， I'm from…… Well, this is it! ”

"New York......" Mariah Carey took her hands on her headphones and finally began to soar into the high pitch.

After singing a song, "It's not bad, do it again." Song Ya replayed the accompaniment, "Skip the treble part, you did a good job, it's not good for your voice to sing so high all the time." ”

"Just good?" Mariah Kelly asked proudly.

"It's just good, the solo version is a little more soothing and has a more soulful charm." Song Ya replied, "You can handle it, Mimi." ”

"Okay." She sang along to the accompaniment again.

"It's going fast, how long do you think you can practice with the pianist?" Walt, who was beside Song Ya, asked.

"Of course, she and I have been practicing the chorus version for a long time, and the solo version has not changed much, and all that needs to be polished are small details."

Song Ya replied: "About a week." ”

"It's all about American music." Roberto Clevard said.

"I know." Song Ya once asked Walt and Roberto if they were willing to participate, but they were all politely refused, the media trend in New York was very unfavorable to him at first, Russell Simmons wanted to use public opinion to force him to back down, but Song Ya was not afraid of him in the radio battlefield that black people liked, and through the joint ranking action in the past two years, he also had a lot of DJs who spoke for him. Of course, there is a small 'small gift' to receive.

For example, a radio DJ attacked Song Ya, 'Speaking of APLUS, you know what? He's a kid who got rich overnight, with a lot of money in his hand and no idea where to spend it, it's absolutely unwise for him to go against Quincy Jones and Russell Simmons, he has no reverence for the old-timers in the black music industry, and I wait to see him fall into disrepute and go bankrupt. Trust me, that day won't be too far away. ’

Another example: 'APLUS is white, brothers and sisters, you must recognize this, he is a mixed race of African and Chinese, but his psychology thinks that he is white, his lawyer is white, his agent is white, and even the partners who bought the magazine this time are all white. He's a puppet pushed to the front of the stage by white people, coming at your wallets. ’

Song Ya also began to fight back, "I think those old guys should also face the world soberly now, do you think it's still the same as before?" Stand up and shout: Everyone give me a face! Then he scooped everything into his pocket that should be taken and what he shouldn't take. APLUS is obviously the first in line, which is known to all New York, and these guys who rely on the old and sell the old openly cut the line......

'APLUS's song style represents the future, and the old guys are jealous, they can't write Remember The Name, they can't write Empire State of Mind, they are angry about their transgressions. Who the cares about a white man's broken magazine, does it have to be bought by age? ’

And in the predominantly white television and print media, naturally there was Russell Simmons' nemesis, Rick Rubin, who was dealing with him, 'Russell Simmons, he's a villain, and I founded Def Jam in my dorm room at New York University, where I was a student at the time, and it was DJ Jazzy Jay who introduced him to me. I was young and gullible in his nonsense, and now that I think about it, none of them are true, none of them are true......

A total of nine million offers have been submitted to Littleman, and both Shirley Fleming and Rick Rubin have begun to exert their social connections to exert influence on Littleman, and now it is up to Russell Simmons and Quincy Jones to make offers, and they take the initiative, because Song Ya has indicated through various channels that they will not increase the price again.

"Maybe you can write a column for my magazine or something." Song Ya began to invite manuscripts, "Of course, if I can buy it." ”

"No problem." There was no reason why the two of them could not agree.

"But we don't have time until March 17th, there are a lot of things to prepare for the unplugged concert, and the scene can't go wrong, and Mr. Motura values this performance and the subsequent live radio version of the EP."

In addition to singing old songs from the first two albums such as Emotions, Motura also got her the cover rights of MJ's childhood song I'll Be There, as well as the solo female version of Empire State Of Mind, which she forced herself to take out in advance.

You know, this was just an MTV TV show, and Motura was heartbroken for Mariah Carey's 1992 release break, and the quality of the EP will never be low.

"I understand." Song Ya nodded.

"Hey, what are you talking about? Are you listening to me? Don't be lazy! Mariah Carey protested inside.

"Take a break, Miss Kelly." Walter said, asking his assistant to bring him lemonade.

"No wine? Ice is the best. "Mary Carey came out, and kept fanning her face with her hands, and she sang until beads of sweat came out.

Song Ya thoughtfully sent tissues.

"Don't drink that, watch your throat."

Walter wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "This unplugged concert is very ruinous, you must pay attention." ”

"OK, OK, I got Walt, don't nag."

Mary Carey wiped her sweat with a tissue, 'Wow! Song Ya shook off a folding fan again and fanned her again.

"Hey, APLUS, you've got a pretty good set of little things."

Mariah Carey took a fancy to his folding fan, "Can you give this to me?" There are places where the backstage is hot. ”

"I'll just ...... this one" Song Ya said deliberately: "But forget it, since it's you who want to ......"

He handed the folding fan over.

Mariah Carey took it and played with it a few times, "What does this mean?" She asked, pointing to the only Chinese character on the folding fan.

"Love, Love......" Song Ya replied.

She didn't speak, and turned her face, "Walt, give me some advice?" ”

"It's an APLUS song, you should ask him." Walter replied.

"As soon as he came into the studio, he was like a different person, and he didn't allow me to sing like that, he didn't allow me to sing like that......" she pouted and began to complain.

"Hey, I'm not that unreasonable......" Song Ya protested.

“APLUS。” At this time, the door to the recording studio opened, and Hayden probe came in, "Is it convenient?" ”

"What's the matter?" Song Ya saw Hayden's excited look and knew that it was not a bad thing, "If you can say it here, come in." ”

"Okay."

Hayden walked in, "The magazine, now it's yours." ”

“YES！” Song Ya lowered his head and shook his fist fiercely, and a stone in his heart fell.

"CONGRATULATIONS, APLUS." Walt and others congratulated.

"Why would you buy a classical music magazine?" Mariah Kelly asked.

"I love it, it helps me have some influence, and it's ......," Song Ya quipped, "and I heard it's a ticket to high society." ”

Hayden was the only one in the room who understood the meme, and he laughed.

"How did you get results so quickly? There's plenty of time over there. Song Ya asked him.

"They offered 10 million, and Littleman said that even though we only offered 9 million, they would still sell it to us, and then the price was increased to 12 million, and Littleman still refused, so they gave up."

Hayden said: "It's rare that Litman is willing to look at three million and not make money. ”

"He's making a lot of money, how much did he spend on that magazine from ABC? I heard that the purchase price plus the debt burden adds up to less than five million? ”

It seems that the influence of Shirley Fleming and Rick Rubin has worked, and Littman is not willing to ask for trouble for three million.

"Leave that alone, the magazine belongs to you anyway." "It's time to think about the next steps," Hayden said. ”

"Let's do it as planned, and we'll discuss it in detail when I get back." Song Ya sent Hayden away, "Miss Kelly, have you rested enough?" It's time to go back to the studio. ”

"Humph! Despot! ”

Mariah Carey tapped him on the arm with the handle of a fan, flicked her long hair, and walked into the studio.
