Chapter 106 The Chaos Caused by Butterfly Wings
"Why didn't you sign someone when you were in Chicago?" After signing the contract, Fergie called quickly, her voice deliberately made a whiny voice.
"I don't like that agent. I can't trust a guy who lets his clients run around outside."
Song Ya made up a reason, "You come to Chicago as soon as possible, I have a MV to record right now."
"real!?"
Fergie exclaimed in surprise: "Is it the one from Halle Berry in I feel it coming?"
"No, the kind that shows your face." Song Ya replied.
"Oh." The other end of the phone answered in disappointment.
As the leading role in the children's music program of a regional TV station, although Fergie's title of "child star" is not comparable to that of Mila who appeared on the cover of a fashion magazine at the age of eleven, a small role that appeared in the MV, Definitely won't interest her.
"You don't need to call me directly in the future, call Hayden if you have something to do." Song Ya put on the majesty of the boss indifferently, and hung up the phone without waiting for an answer. The strategy was the same as when we were in Pao Mila, we must put enough pressure first, and we couldn't let the little girl kick her nose in the face, even though Fergie was a few months older than him.
Thinking of Mira, Mira's news came, Hayden called and asked Song Ya to turn on the TV quickly.
"Last night, seven people were injured in riots at a local protest in Los Angeles..."
The news anchor is broadcasting the news with a solemn face. The picture shows the scene of a medieval war. The police officers hold batons and shields to form a long snake formation to block the crowd of protesters. The high-pressure water cannon keeps hitting the crowd Then there are some mounted police on tall horses monitoring the situation, ready to support at any time.
As soon as the picture turned, Mira was getting into the car under the protection of a large group of police officers, and Song Ya saw Mrs. Jovovich beside her.
"I saw you on the news. What happened yesterday? The news is endless." Song Ya called Mira.
"It scared me to death. I sang well yesterday. The audience atmosphere was very good. Countless people yelled Hua Q Hua Q to me, and then I don’t know why they called FXXX Tha Police again, which is the song by N.W.A. member's song, and then the scene suddenly got out of control..."
Mira complained, "I miss you." In fact, she has no feeling for anti-discrimination or anything else. She just participated in the event and sang a song for the occasion according to William Morris's arrangement. Liao Jiao: "Los Angeles is so boring."
"As long as you are fine, by the way, I bought a mobile phone, you write down the number."
Song Ya estimated that the day when the two met would not be far away, so she reported her mobile phone number, "How to arrange the next step?"
"It's time for you to buy a mobile phone. Hmph, it's been a long time since you called me back." Mira said, "I don't know, I probably won't be able to participate in the event... I want to go to Chicago, but there are countless guards outside my house now." The reporter..."
Alas, Song Ya has nothing to do with the troubles of celebrities, "You should go to SBK to record songs. I heard from Hayden that Daniel has almost prepared the songs for the album."
"You don't write for me, I don't like those songs."
"I can't help it. You're not around, and I don't have the inspiration to write girls' songs." Song Ya coaxed her a few words and made her very happy.
If I hadn't given Mira the song to de Klerk, Mira wouldn't have sung it at the protest, so wouldn't the riots have happened? I don't know to what extent the butterfly wings of the traverser will change history... Song Ya hung up the phone, thought wildly for a while, then shook his head with a wry smile, and shook off these distracting thoughts. Can not remember.
"Boss." Mawota knocked on the door outside the office, "There is Mr. Schneider and..."
"Oh, Zach? Let him in."
Song Ya stood up,
Smiling, Zack Snyder and the producer of Remember The Name from Sony Columbia Records were ushered in the door, "Just waiting for you to arrive."
The other party came to the MV shooting preparation meeting. After the last cooperation, Song Ya was very satisfied with them. Zack Schneider was junior, very obedient, and the pictures were shot beautifully. Song Ya has the full right to speak.
The three of them discussed around Song Ya's preliminary script drafted by the original MV. At school, Song Ya deliberately found some books on script writing to study.
"So you want a wide format, film-like look?" The producer frowned. "It's easy to overrun the film once it's used."
"It's okay. I don't need to shoot repeatedly for this MV. What is captured is what is captured." Song Ya explained a little bit, "For some shots, I will shoot the street scene in Chicago's South City, and then I will shoot a section outside the underground nightclub. There is a party here, just take pictures of the party scene."
"That's fine." The producer smiled, "I just like your style of APLUS."
"There will be a lot of long shots." Zack Schneider looked at the script and said, "This kind of long-shot follow-up of the singer has a movie quality, so I have to rent a Steadicam, and the photographer has to be hired from Hollywood. Master here."
"No problem, I will ask Sony Columbia Pictures for resources." The producer smiled at him: "Don't you want to go to Hollywood? Just practice in advance, but you also heard what APLUS just said, What you shoot is what you get, don’t waste film, it’s very expensive.”
"Then I'm fine." Zack Schneider shook the script towards Song Ya, "The script is well written, I'll go back and add it to be more detailed."
"Uh..." Song Ya was afraid that he would think of making it into a comic style again, "I want the dilapidated and withered atmosphere of Chicago's South Side, so the tone is mainly dark."
"I understand." Zack Schneider also knew what Song Ya was worried about.
The MV was announced, and the single of Remember The Name was quietly put on the shelves of major audio-visual stores. Motura has set a long-term publicity plan, so except for some in-store posters, there is no promotional effort for the time being. In order to cooperate with him, Song Ya did not give "promotion fees" to black DJs in major cities, and now the whole society is paying attention to the incident in Los Angeles, and spending a lot of money may not necessarily win attention.
On the contrary, because of the uproar during Mira's performance became national news, her two old songs "To de Klerk" and "FXXX Tha Police" by N.W.A were revived in the new year, and the sales momentum obviously picked up. Especially to De Klerk, last time because of Song Ya's participation in the late-night show, he had a wave of recovery, this time it was even more icing on the cake, maybe Daniel was smiling from ear to ear in the general manager's office of SBK.
A week later, Zack Schneider started to drive around the Nancheng neighborhood, picking his favorite shooting locations. Of course, Song Ya didn't forget to remind him to choose all shooting locations in GD, preferably in the territory of Hell Bobtail.
Mira, who was no longer fit to participate in activities in Los Angeles, went to New York and hid in SBK's recording studio.
And Fergie also moved to Chicago. Whether it was intentional or not, his sister chose the same school as Song Ya for her. Dance classes and vocal music private lessons have also been arranged.
After recording Feel? It? Still, Song Ya, Di Lai, and Al reviewed Remember The Name again and again. Their first show will still be in the underground nightclub opposite Old Joe Music. In addition to cooperating with the MV shooting, Song Ya also wanted to test the true quality of the song in that place. After all, black people at the bottom are the largest audience of rap music, and the first show of I feel it coming was not very effective.
