Chapter 129 Buying a House
'APLUS, a genius boy, will bring us unlimited surprises every time, from To de Klerk, to I feel it coming, from second-hand stores, to this song Remember The Name, I even suspect that he has a few lines in his mind The production lines are parallel, freely switching between pop, hip-hop, rhythm and blues and other elements, making the audience unpredictable, but they have to admire it. According to reliable sources, his next new single will be released in May, this time he skillfully combines rap and soul music, and cooperates with Mariah Carey who is in the limelight...’
"All right……"
Song Ya left the 'America Music' magazine in her hand. Every time the big-name media praised her, there must be a few words to warm up the Empire State of Mind. Don't even think about it. There is definitely Sony Columbia behind it. The shadow of their publicity and distribution ability is indeed top-notch.
"Why are you reading such an old-fashioned magazine?" Fergie opened the door and came in, sat down on his lap naturally, wrapped her hands around her neck, and said casually when she saw the magazine.
"Old-fashioned?" Song Ya was taken aback.
"Yeah, it's not cool at all." Fergie said: "When I joined the TV program a few years ago, a director hated this magazine very much. He said that the magazine was about to go bankrupt."
"Really?" Song Ya picked up the magazine and flipped through it again. From the format to the writing, it was indeed full of staleness. Except for the soft articles like the one I read just now, other music reviews seemed to have an old white man chattering about the old days. Time's classical music style is seriously out of touch with the trend.
"Musical America... With such a prestigious name, it would be difficult to close down, right?" he said.
"Anyway, no one wants to watch it." Fergie offered her fragrant lips.
"Um."
Song Ya groped in along the hem of her clothes...
Before the two could move further, there was a knock on the office door, "Come in." Song Ya replied.
When Hayden came in, Fergie was already in front of the honor corner, pretending to admire the trophies.
"How's the publicity going this week?" Hayden asked with a smile.
"That's it. Everyone was fresh and excited in the first week, and only tired after the second week."
Song Ya yawned. This kind of high-intensity publicity is really tiring. In the first week, everyone enjoyed the scenery along the road with great interest.
While chatting and farting, I don’t feel tired at all, and when I stop to rest, I still have the energy to grab everything and have fun. Halfway through the journey in the second week, they all looked out of the window with dull faces like eggplants beaten by frost. As soon as the car stopped, they only thought about washing up and going to sleep.
"The house near Hyde Park you want." Hayden put the collected real estate agency information in front of him.
"No swimming pool at all?" There were not many properties for sale over there. Song Ya briefly browsed through them, and the most expensive one was only priced at more than 800,000 dollars.
"It's next to the university, or the urban area." Hayden said, "Don't you want to look at places like the Highland Park in the north of the city? Apart from swimming pools, houses with tennis courts and private beaches are not hard to find."
"Hyde Park first, I plan to keep a house in Nancheng all the time, and the voter registration information will also be filled in Nancheng in the future." Song Ya said.
"I see, let's go and have a look? The real estate agent is always on hand." Hayden laughed.
"All right, call Song Asheng."
Song Ya said to Fergie, who was looking at him eagerly, "You are also ready, we will go to Atlanta next week." He planned to keep Fergie at LAFACE Records, and not let her follow on the trip to the West Coast next week. up.
There were not many choices, so Song Ya chose the most expensive single-family villa with a history of more than 100 years. The classic Georgian architectural style covers an area of nearly 1,000 square meters, with an indoor area of more than 600, seven bedrooms and six bathrooms. Dark gray exterior wall, beautiful spire and fireplace chimney, separated from the outside world by woods, very private. Of course, there is no swimming pool, and the outside is just a lawn, and the city government does not allow it to be used for other purposes.
The price was talked about $790,000, with most of the furniture included, and the seller was an elderly white couple who only showed up, and the transaction was conducted through a real estate agent.
"You can do the follow-up procedures for me."
Song Ya made a decision on the spot to pay the deposit, walked out of the house briskly, and told Song Asheng: "Then find someone to repair the house. The furniture is all old solid wood. I like it very much, so I don't need to move it. Then change the attic into a small one." In the recording studio, I'll have someone give you the blueprint later."
"Don't worry, Boss." Song Asheng followed behind and kept taking notes with a pen.
"Your speed of buying a house..." Hayden sighed.
"It's not worth wasting too much time on this kind of thing, I'm too busy."
Song Ya got into Hayden's car, this guy was still driving the Dodge Dynasty, "You should change your car, Hayden."
This guy has made a lot of money from himself, otherwise he wouldn't have been so frightened during the last contract renewal negotiation, "This car is still very new." Hayden didn't mean to change the car for the time being, "You should add more It's a car." He pointed to the old-fashioned villa, "The temperament of the F150 is not suitable for this place."
"Hmm..." Pablo's Volvo 760 immediately appeared in Song Ya's mind. At that time, he had just traveled through it, and he felt very friendly when he saw that car. "What is the latest Volvo luxury car model?" ?”
"Volvo?" Hayden is an expert in this field, "It seems to be 960?"
"You can order one for me, black is fine."
After finishing all this, Song Ya took people to catch the flight to Atlanta.
The rented small car has already been returned, and Song Asheng sent the newly bought F150 and the big car to a car rental company, offering them to people for rent. Anyway, they are idle, so they can get back their money.
"Fergie has a good foundation and her voice is very explosive. As long as she trains well according to the plan we set before, she will achieve something."
BABYFACE held a welcome party for Song Ya at LAFACE Records, and invited many famous people in the local music industry. The party was very formal, but it was more like a white party, and the party was not crazy.
"Thank you so much."
Song Ya has a good impression of BABYFACE. Fergie's training plan is very detailed. In addition to breath and vocalization, it also includes a lot of dance and physical exercise. And the amount of exercise is not small. He really put his heart into it. After visiting the recording studio "Tree House" of LAFACE Records, the two found a place to chat, "My resources in Chicago are always open to you." Song Ya said.
BABYFACE raised his glass, "I wish us a happy cooperation."
"Pleasant cooperation."
The two drank the wine in their glasses.
At this moment, Donnie Braston came over...
"Hi, Donnie." The incident last time was over, and Song Ya, who got a bargain, took the initiative to greet her.
But Tang Ni still seemed to be a little concerned. She leaned against BABYFACE coldly, "Is the song that Sony Columbia is desperately warming up to be Empire State of Mind?"
"Yes." It will be released in May, and Song Ya has no intention of hiding it.
Tang Ni took a sip of wine expressionlessly, turned and left.
"Don't mind, she sang your song to me, it was great and gave me some inspiration." BABYFACE apologized on her behalf, "She just has some regrets."
"It's okay, I understand."
With the help of BABYFACE, Song Ya’s trip to the south this time went very smoothly. He now has a small book, which is filled with the addresses of radio stations in various places and the names and phone numbers of DJs he met. Resources cannot always be provided through agents. In terms of rankings , he has to be prepared for the backhand.
His billboard rankings are also struggling to move forward, one position a week, and in the third week he came to No. 2 on the singles chart. The Wilson sisters and Phillips' You're in love unexpectedly jumped back to No. 1, dead Die put Remember The Name below.
