Chapter 114: Sent Again

"I saw the news." Mira's call came the next day, "You and Mariah Carey. ”

"I reported it to you."

Song Ya smiled: "And I also made a statement today, I am just good friends with her, I am just helping to share some media focus, a little wave." ”

"Hmph, when are you coming back to New York?" She asked.

"April, soon."

The two chatted casually, Mira's career is very smooth, after CK, she has just won the spokesperson of Revlon, and hard photos continue to appear in major fashion magazines. Mrs. Jovovich and William Morris also got her auditions for the films 'Smell a Woman' and 'Lamb in Peril'.

Both movies will be released next year, but there is no conflict in the time of entering the group, Lamb in Danger is directed by the great director de Palma, Mira's parents worked as servants in his house, Mira's achievements today are inseparable from the help of the other party, and Mile people like this kind of story of the dream of Mi, Mila will play the heroine, there will be a good topicality.

The star of Smell and Know Woman is the famous Al Pacino, he and De Palma work well together in Scarface, through De Palma's introduction, he asked Mira to participate in an audition for an important supporting actress, only one dance, but I heard that it will be very good.

"Doesn't taking on so many jobs affect your song recording?" Song Ya asked.

"Hmph, I'm so annoying to record it, it's all saliva songs." Mira complained.

"There are also big red saliva songs."

As soon as the song was mentioned, the conversation between the two became a little awkward, although Mira didn't mention asking Song Ya to send the song now.

The landline on the boss's desk rang, "Next time, love you." Song Ya hung up the phone and picked up the microphone.

"I hear your new song, it's good, and Miss Kelly likes it too, but ......"

It was Roberto Claywell's voice, "The rap part is too high, which doesn't fit with her target audience." ”

"What about Mr. Motula?"

"Of course, that's what he thinks too." Walter replied.

"Thanks, Roberto, I didn't mean anything else, the song wasn't completely finished, but I tried it with Miss Kelly when she came to me, and it worked out unexpectedly." Song Ya was disappointed, and was afraid that he would have a 'misunderstanding' with Walt and David Cole, and explained: "I didn't plan to find Miss Kelly, and I also knew that it was not convenient for her to participate in rap songs. ”

"It's okay, it's a good song."

Roberto Clevell didn't care, either, "Did you find a female singer in the chorus section?" He asked.

"No, it doesn't have to be a female singer singing a chorus, I haven't completely finalized it yet." Song Yasheng was afraid that the other party would push a related household to himself, if it was Walt, who had fewer eyes, there was no need to say this.

"That's ......"

But Roberto Clevard still spoke, "We're competing with someone else for a female singer, and if you're willing to let her sing this chorus, I think we'll have a good chance of winning." ”

He briefly introduced that a black female singer named Donnie Breston recently terminated her contract with Arista Records, and Sony Columbia has long been eyeing this 'newcomer' who is good at singing soul and rhythm and blues music, in fact, he is not a newcomer, after all, he is twenty-four years old, and his contract with the first record company expired, but he did not get the results and did not renew his contract.

Sony Columbia originally thought that according to the conditions of its top record company, it would be able to get Donnie Breston by beckoning, but he never expected to kill the well-known black musicians BABYFACE and L.A. Reid halfway, and the LAFACE records they co-founded are under the banner of Alista, close to the water, and they also issued a contract to Donny Breston.

AFTER A BIT OF CONTENTION BETWEEN THE TWO SIDES, BABYFACE CAME UP WITH TWO SONGS THE OTHER DAY, CLAIMING THAT AS LONG AS CONNIE BLESSON KEN SIGNED WITH THEM, THE TWO SONGS WOULD BE HERS. DONNIE BLESSON'S AGENT HAS INFORMED SONY COLOMBIA OF THE OFFER FOR LAFACE RECORDS, AND IF THE CONDITIONS ARE NOT RAISED, SHE WILL SIGN WITH BABYFACE'S LAFACE RECORDS.

"BABYFACE, BABYFACE, WHO WOULD USE THIS STAGE NAME." Song Ya snorted.

"A well-known musician, a R&B genius, has been nominated for Grammys for three years in a row, you don't know him, do you?" Roberto Clevard said.

Of course Song Ya knew, he just pretended not to know, Mariah Carey can't sing the chorus of Empire State of Mind, and Phigi and Mira can't sing with their personal abilities, so he might as well use this to sign another powerful female singer for A+ records, why marry Sony Colombia.

"Uh......"

He was thinking of an excuse to refuse, when someone changed on the microphone, and Motula's voice came, "APLUS, can you help with this?" ”

"Mr. Motula, can you let me think about it first?"

Motura himself spoke, and Song Ya couldn't just find any excuse to prevaricate.

Motura said: "In this way, I asked Donnie Bladstone to go to Chicago to find you, you let her audition Empire State of Mind first, I don't want you to sing the song to her, but let you help stabilize her first, delay her signing with LAFACE, and buy us time!" ”

"Okay, that's okay for me."

He said so, of course Song Ya couldn't refuse.

Motura handed the microphone back to Roberto Clevell, and the two discussed a delaying strategy, "If you don't sing this song to her in the end, and we successfully sign a contract with her, then the trick must not be exposed." Roberto Clever reminded.

"I see."

Song Ya hung up the phone, "I just finished delivering it yesterday, and I sent another ...... today," he muttered quietly.

As a result, I didn't expect that it was not one, but three that were 'sent'.

Donnie Breston also has two sisters, and their Breston sister group was terminated by Alista Records, and all three are now unemployed.

"Hello." Bringing the three of them over was their agent, a very old-fashioned old black man.

Song Ya withdrew her fist, shook hands with him instead, and then shook hands with the three sisters separately, "My place is very small, please don't mind." He smiled and looked for a target, and soon set his sights on the most beautiful one, and sure enough, this black female singer with super short hair has the feeling of Halle Berry, a little shorter than Halle Berry, and a little more 'black' in appearance, but the body is very perfect like Halle, and the convex places are more convex, and the warped places are more warped, "You're Donnie, am I right?" ”

Of course, according to Song Ya's aesthetics, it is still Harley's more pleasing to the eye.

“Yep! We admire you and your music APLUS...... 1、2、3…… Let’s go! ”

Donnie snapped her fingers at a disagreement, "yes, for those of you that want to know what we're all about......"

She hummed Remember the Name, and the other two sisters improvised some chorus, and then Al's passage was replaced, and DeLay's passage was replaced, and it was exactly three, and she sang it in one go, and she sang it very well, and in their own style.

"Wow......" Song Ya applauded again and again, it was really a bit from the heart, this kind of music cell is really powerful.

"Yay!" The three of them sang high, and the atmosphere became warm, "You have wine, right?" I don't know if it's Sister Donnie or my sister, so I walked into the studio while twisting.

"Of course, Al." Songya asked Al to bring out the wine and treat them to them.

"Drink less, we're here to get down to business." The agent persuaded him, and reluctantly took the wine glass handed over by Song Ya, "Their father is a very good pastor, and he told me to take care of them." He explained to Song Ya.

"Hey, how old are we!" The sisters protested dissatisfied.

"It's okay, just have fun with me." Song Ya smiled and chatted with them for a while, "Mawota, bring in the small bar." Then he walked into the studio with Donnie.

Mawota walked in with a small bar and placed it in front of the two of them.

Song Ya put the wine glass on it, and began to explain the song Empire State of Mind to Donnie on the music stand, BABYFACE is a very talented musician, and he will not be bad with the song that Sony Colombia snatches people, Song Ya knows that it is precisely because of the quality of his song that Motu has the idea of using this song as a bargaining chip to stabilize Donnie and help them compete with LAFACE Records.

"Well, I'll sing it to you first." Song Ya sang it first, and he obviously felt that the other party's interest had risen, and his eyes were different.

"Yes, you just sing with soul music, and then, forget it, you are a master, I won't give advice first, you can do it yourself, how you think it is suitable, you don't have to be stubborn."

Song Yazhao outside Delai beckoned, "Delai, let's start." ”

Delay played the accompaniment, and Song Ya half-hummed and half-sang his part, "From...", he motioned to Donnie.

“In New York,Concrete jungle where dreams are made of Theres nothing you can’t do……”

As soon as Donnie spoke, Song Ya's eyes lit up, compared to Mariah Carey, Donnie's voice was thicker, her singing style was closer to the original song, and her skills were even deeper......

“One hand in the air for the big city……”

Singing this part, Donnie had a little problem, not a technical problem, but a change in the singing style of this paragraph, her handling did not turn a corner, Song Ya listened quietly, and then put forward her own opinions on this part.

The second time, the third time, Song Ya became more and more satisfied, if it weren't for the fact that this female singer who was chased by many parties would not have been able to sign an A+ record, he would have wanted to take Donnie's singer contract on the spot.

"Very good song, very good song......"

When they came out of the studio, Donnie's manager kept nagging, "Young man, you're such a great musician, great." ”

Song Ya was a little ashamed, after all, she relied on the apocalypse to cheat, "This song sampled Love on a Two Way Street by The Moments, and it's not all my personal credit. ”

"Really? I didn't hear, wow, you're so young, you're only sixteen, aren't you? Really young......"

The other party seemed to be completely convinced.

"Donnie's performance is also very good, I am very satisfied." Song Ya said with a smile.

"Yay!" Her two sisters cheered first.

"Donnie." The agent tilted his head at Donnie and took her out for a private discussion.
