Chapter 113 Sending a Daughter
"Hey, NAS brother... yes, I'm back in Chicago, I can't go to the party, say hello to Kakim for me."
The pre-arranged entertainment in New York can only be turned down, "Really? The album of the Large Professor (Large Professor) will be released in July? The promotion will start in May? Okay, I get it, no problem, when the time comes I'll take care of DJ's in Chicago and Detroit..."
Due to the adherence to Cooper's theory of carrying goods, the resources of Kakim and others in New York that were borrowed during the promotion of I feel it coming are about to return. After all, it is a mutually beneficial cooperation. The other party helped first, and I have to pay back the debt. The Great Professor was brought out by Kamin, and he is also the boss of NAS. His band Main Source's first album Breaking Atoms will be released soon, and the promotion of the single will start in May. .
"Big A, N.W.A's new album Niggaz4Life also started promoting in May, right?"
After getting an affirmative answer, he discovered a problem. His promotional network on the east and west coasts crashed, and Remember The Name was also in the publicity period...
"The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is fucking..."
It is now the end of March, and he must solve this problem before May, otherwise the lame gang behind N.W.A and one-fifth of the country behind Kakim will never be vegetarians.
"What should I do?" He asked Big A, "One cake is not enough for three people."
"Don't offend me, you know I support N.W.A anyway." Big A is a fan of N.W.A, and was beaten by Escube for this.
"Push at the same time?" Song Ya asked.
"How to push at the same time? Three songs add up to more than ten minutes, plus the advertising time is close to 20 minutes. How long is a radio column? DJs charge money, but they can't spend all their energy Specializing in this kind of work will arouse the vigilance of the radio station..."
Big A came up with an idea, "Chicago and Detroit are not enough to eat, we have to make the cake as big as possible. In addition to expanding the influence of Illinois, where Chicago is located, and Michigan, where Detroit is located, we can also try to expand Wisconsin, which is next to it. and Indiana included."
"Well." Song Ya nodded, the resources of the four states are definitely enough to satisfy N.W.A and the big professor, and in this way, his influence will be greater and his capital will be more...
"Big A, it's all up to you in this regard."
He opened the schedule and said to Hayden: "Columbia Records arranged for me to start the large-scale promotion of Remember The Name in mid-April, which is the first round of the NBA playoffs. You communicate with them and try to arrange the subsequent activities in In these four states, we strive to run in all cities to lay a good foundation for the promotion in May."
"Okay." Hai registered, and then went out to make a phone call.
"Hey, I'm not cheap." Big A is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He began to raise conditions. In addition to giving enough money, he also asked Song Ya to arrange an important person to participate in an exclusive interview on his radio station to increase the audience rating.
If possible, Song Ya even wants to buy his radio station. If Big A can be his follower, he will be invincible when he goes out to run publicity in the future. Unfortunately, he can't completely suppress him now. After all, the other party is a Chicago local. The little celebrity was followed by the two younger brothers.
"Is it a heavy person?" Song Ya stroked her chin and thought about it.
Two nights later, Mariah Carey came to A+ Records, Xinke DIVA, definitely heavy enough, right?
"Thank you for coming, Miss Kelly." Song Ya said holding her hand.
"Is this your record company? It's not bad." Mariah Carey walked around the recording studio curiously.
"Where, it's a small place, and it's incomparable to Columbia Records." Song Ya introduced the employees in the recording studio to her one by one, "This is Andrew, this is Henry... Al and Delay, you both acknoledged."
"Hello, Ms. Kelly, we are your fans." The two technical geeks wiped their hands on the plaid shirts first, and shook hands with each other excitedly.
"Thank you." Mariah Carey was very approachable.
"The reporters are all downstairs." Her assistant looked down from the window and smiled at Song Ya.
This is also part of this trip. Recently, various media have attacked Mariah Carey very fiercely. The main point is that she won two awards at the Grammys for the first time. Around this, such as Mariah Carey's singing skills and music style No innovation, and the old problem that the lyrics are too simple, in short, it is not worthy of the Grammy for Best Pop Female Singer.
And Motura made the same mistake as Pablo, and his care was chaotic, just like Pablo became confused when he encountered the little Lowry. In order to quell the attacks of the media, it can be said that his behavior was very crazy. Questioned about his singing skills, he held small unplugged concerts for Mariah Carey, and in terms of music style and lyrics, he managed Mariah Carey to appear on ABC's heavyweight talk show, and let the hostess Very hard to help wash the floor.
As a result, this approach has attracted even greater doubts. The media people have a keen sense. They smelled something different from Motura's all-out help. The subsequent attacks focused on him and Maria Kai. Mariah Carey's relationship with Mariah Carey, the president of Sony Columbia Records praised his girlfriend. This statement did not help Mariah Carey's stardom in the slightest.
This kind of fact is not easy to wash away. Besides, the relationship between the two of them is no secret in the circle. Song Ya has heard similar statements from Daniel a long time ago.
This time, Motura had another whim, and asked Mariah Carey, who was doing publicity in Chicago, to come to Song Ya's place to create some scandals between the two, so as to fool the media's doubts during this period.
This way of sending his girlfriend to the door made Song Ya speechless. It happened that Big A made that request, so he agreed. Of course, he didn't dare to green Motura (temporarily), and he had made a deal with Mira and her manager in advance.
“tell by my attitude that I most definitely from…”
In the recording studio, Song Ya rapped her part and gestured to Mariah Carey.
“In New York, Concrete jungle where dreams are made of Theres nothing you can’t do…”
Mariah Carey quickly picked up with the music. Her processing was very different from the original singing, but she sang the taste of soul music very well, and the treble part was very relaxed, and added some strong Coloratura and angry sounds with personal style.
After hiding back in Chicago, Song Ya had nothing to do anyway, so she took the time to make the accompaniment of Empire State of Mind, and also made the first version of the lyrics of the RAP part. Taking advantage of Mariah Carey's presence, she happened to invite her to record together. Anyway, this song is also the apocalypse I got with the other party. I was worried about how to talk to Motulati, but now that Mariah Carey is here, I might as well try it first.
"This song is great, very good!"
After singing a song, Mariah Carey couldn't get enough of it, "New York, New York, New York~" She hummed a few more words, "I especially like the chorus part."
"How about we work together to get this song out?" Song Ya took the opportunity to ask.
"Uh... I'm going to ask Tommy first."
Mariah Carey is very simple, but someone who can be a DIVA is not an idiot. She asked Song Ya for the recorded version of the two singing just now, and said that she would take it back and ask Motura.
The two then went to Big A's studio to record radio interviews.
The participation of the popular DIVA made Big A's program ratings skyrocket, and he was overjoyed.
But Song Ya stood behind him the whole time, clenching his fists tightly. Once Big A said something that shouldn't be said, he would punch him directly, and there was no price to talk about.
Under his coercion, Big A was very honest and cooperated with Mariah Carey to finish the interview smoothly.
In the early morning, Song Ya sent Mariah Carey to the gate of the building.
A large group of reporters was stopped outside by her bodyguard, and the flashing lights kept blinking.
"Come on..." She suddenly became very nervous, her body tensed and she reminded in a low voice.
"I am coming."
Song Ya smiled and stepped forward to put her arms around her waist, left and right, and rubbed her cheeks on both sides, "See you in New York." He let go of his hands politely.
The flashlight illuminated the surroundings of the two of them like daylight.
"Bye~" Mariah Carey beckoned to him, and was escorted by the bodyguards into the car and left.
