Chapter 114

"I saw the news." Meera called the next day, "You and Mariah Carey."

"I reported it to you."

Song Ya smiled and said: "And I also issued a statement today, and she is just a good friend, I just help share some media focus, a little bit of waves."

"Hmph, when are you coming to New York again?" she asked.

"April, soon."

The two chatted casually, and Mira's career was going very well. After CK, she just won the spokesperson of Revlon, and her photos kept appearing in major fashion magazines. Mrs. Jovovich and William Morris also secured her auditions for the films "Scent of a Woman" and "Lambs".

Both films will be released next year, but the time of joining the group does not conflict. Dangerous Lamb is directed by the great director De Palma. Mira's parents worked as servants in his house. Mira's current achievements cannot be separated from the help of the other party. And American people like this kind of story about the American dream. If Mira plays the heroine, it will be quite topical.

The leading role of Scent of a Woman is the famous Al Pacino. He and De Palma worked well together in Scarface. Through De Palma's introduction, he asked Mira to audition for an important supporting actress. Dance, but I heard it will be very brilliant.

"Does taking on so many jobs affect your song recording?" Song Ya asked.

"Hmph, I'm so annoyed when recording, it's all saliva songs." Mira complained.

"Saliva songs are also popular."

As soon as the song was mentioned, the chat between the two became a bit awkward, although Mira didn't mention Song Ya's song now.

The fixed phone on the boss's desk rang, "Let's talk next time, I love you." Song Ya hung up the phone and picked up the receiver.

"I heard your new song, it's very good, and Miss Kelly likes it very much, but..."

It's Roberto Clavell's voice, "too much rapping for her target audience."

"Where's Mr. Motura?"

"Of course, he also has the same opinion." Walter replied.

"Thanks, Roberto, I have no other intentions. This song has not been fully completed. I just tried it with Miss Kelly when she came to me, and it turned out to be good." Song Ya was quite disappointed. Afraid that he would have a 'misunderstanding' with Walter and David Cole, he explained: "I didn't intend to find Miss Kelly, and I also know that it is not convenient for her to participate in rap songs."

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

Roberto Clivell didn't care either, "Did you find a female singer for the chorus?" he asked.

"No, it's not necessary for a female singer to sing the chorus. I haven't finalized the draft yet." Song Ya was afraid that the other party would push a related account to him. If it was Walt who had a relatively small mind, there was no need to say this sentence .

"Is such that……"

But Roberto Clivell still spoke out, "We are competing with other companies for a female singer. If you are willing to let her sing this chorus, I think we will have a good chance of winning."

He briefly introduced that a black female singer named Donny Braston recently terminated her contract with Arista Records. Sony Columbia has long been eyeing this singer who is good at singing soul and rhythm blues music. "Rookie" is actually not considered a newcomer, after all, he is already 24 years old, and his contract with the first record company has expired, but the result has not been renewed.

Sony Columbia originally thought that according to the conditions of its own top record company, it would be able to deal with Donnie Braston by waving casually. It never expected that the well-known black musicians BABYFACE and L.A.Reid would come out halfway. Under the banner of Alistar, it is close to the water and has also issued a contract to Donnie Braston.

After a battle between the two sides, BABYFACE released two songs a few days ago, claiming that as long as Connie Braston signs a contract with them,

These two songs are hers. Donnie Braston's agent has informed Sony Columbia of the offer from LAFACE Records, and if the conditions are not raised, she will sign a contract with BABYFACE's LAFACE Records.

"BABYFACE, baby face, who would use such a stage name." Song Ya laughed.

"A famous musician, R&B genius, who has been nominated for Grammy for three consecutive years, you don't know him?" said Roberto Clivell.

Of course Song Ya knew, but she just pretended not to know. Mariah Carey couldn't sing the chorus part of Empire State of Mind, and Fergie and Mira couldn't sing with their personal abilities. He might as well use this for an A+ record Sign a powerful female singer, why marry Sony Columbia.

"Well……"

He was thinking of an excuse to decline, when someone changed the microphone, Motura's voice came over, "APLUS, can you help me with this?"

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

Motura spoke in person, so Song Ya couldn't find any excuses to prevaricate.

Motura said: "Well, I will ask Donnie Braston to go to Chicago to find you, and you will let her audition for Empire State of Mind first. I don't have to ask you to sing the song to her, but I want you to help stabilize the song first." Stop her, delay her signing with LAFACE, and buy us time!"

"Well, I'm fine with that."

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

Motura returned the microphone to Roberto Clivell, and the two discussed a delaying strategy, "If you don't sing this song to her in the end, and we succeed in signing her, then it's a fool's errand." But it must not be exposed." Roberto Clivell reminded.

"I see."

Song Ya hung up the phone, "I just finished delivering it yesterday, and I'm delivering another one today..." He whispered.

In the end, I didn't expect that not one was 'sent', but three.

Donnie Braston has two other sisters, three of whom are now out of a job after the Braston Sisters were terminated by Alista Records.

"Hello." It was their manager, a very old-fashioned black old man, who brought the three of them over.

Song Ya withdrew his fist, shook hands with him instead, and then shook hands with the three sisters respectively, "My place is small, please don't mind." He smiled and looked for the target, and quickly set his sights on the most beautiful one. A black female singer with ultra-short hair looks like Halle Berry. She is a little shorter than Halle Berry and has a more 'black' appearance, but her figure is as perfect as Halle's, and the convex part is more convex and curled up. "You are Donnie, am I right?"

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

"Yep! We admire you and your music APLUS... 1, 2, 3... Let's go!"

Tang Ni snapped her fingers when she disagreed, "Yeah, 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 harmonies, and then Al's passage was changed, and Delay's passage was changed again, exactly three, and they sang in one breath, and They sing very well, and they have their own style.

"Wow..." Song Ya applauded again and again, really from the heart, this kind of music is indeed powerful.

"Yeah!" The three of them sang hilariously, and the atmosphere became lively, "You have wine, right?" Donnie didn't know whether it was Tang Ni's sister or her sister, and walked into the recording studio while twisting.

"Of course, Al." Song Ya asked Al to entertain them with wine.

"Drink less, we are here to deal with business." The manager persuaded, 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 three 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 she walked into the recording studio with Tang Ni.

Mawota came in with a small bar and put 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 Tang Ni on the music stand. BABYFACE is a very talented musician. Knowing that it was because of the quality of his song, Motu came up with the idea of ​​using this song as a bargaining chip to stabilize Tang Ni and help them compete with LAFACE Records.

"Well, I'll sing it for you first." Song Ya sang it first, and he obviously felt that the other party's interest had increased, and he looked at himself differently.

"Yes, you can sing with soul music, and then, forget it, you are a master, I will not give any advice, you can do it yourself, and do whatever you think is suitable, don't be rigid."

Song Yachao waved Dilai outside, "Dilai, let's start."

De Lai played the accompaniment, and Song Ya half hummed and half sang his part, "from..." he gestured to Tang Ni.

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

As soon as Tang Ni spoke, Song Ya's eyes lit up. Compared with Mariah Carey, Tang Ni's voice was thicker, her singing was closer to the original song, and she even seemed to have a deeper skill...

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

When singing this part, Tang Ni had a little problem, not a technical problem, but a change in the singing method of this part, and her handling did not turn around. Song Ya listened quietly, and then put forward her own opinion on this part. Opinion.

The second time, and 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 could not sign with A+ Records, he almost wanted to make a decision on the spot to win Tang Ni's singer appointment.

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

When the two of them came out of the recording studio, Downey's manager kept nagging, "Young man, you are such a great musician, great."

Song Ya was a little ashamed, after all, he relied on Tianqi's plug-in, "This song samples Love on a Two Way Street by The Moments, and it's not all my personal credit."

"Really? I didn't hear it, wow, you are so young, you are only sixteen years old, right? Really young..."

The other party seemed to be completely convinced.

"Donnie's performance is also very good, I am very satisfied." Song Ya smiled.

"Yeah!" Her two sisters cheered first.

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