Chapter 154 The Person I Like the Most

On June 15th, another DIVA Paula Abdul's single Rush Rush and album Spellbound both topped the Billboard, and Song Ya and Mariah Carey's rankings dropped sharply.

In the first five of eight weeks, the first four weeks, the song Remember The Name brought Song Ya too much, and he can even hope to win the annual list at the end of the year.

The news that Lowry entered the local police station to cooperate with the investigation also came out. As for the other protagonist in the conflict, Puff Daddy, because of his lack of fame, he was completely ignored by the media.

According to Goodman's judgment, the police and the FBI should not have any strong evidence. The demo cannot be used as evidence.

"Come on, APLUS."

In the hip-hop dance classroom, the black female dancer was looking at Song Ya in embarrassment.

"What's wrong?" Song Ya jumped off the handle. He just grabbed the handle and hung himself in the air, imitating the original singer's body movements.

"Your movements remind people of monkeys in trees," said the female dancer.

Song Ya understands that maybe future black singers don't care much about this kind of movement, but in this era, imitating monkey dance steps will be considered self-deprecating by sensitive black groups.

"All right."

Song Ya secretly killed this action, looked at the watch, the time was almost up, "Let's stop here today."

He is going to meet with the director of the MV for "Queen" today, Zack Schneider.

The MV of Empire State of Mind Sony Columbia has not made a decision for a long time, he plans to put the MV shooting of 'Trumpet' on the agenda first, the old style, this MV only has a few scenes, and the participating trumpeters are ready-made, Except for a few dancers, it doesn't cost a lot of money.

"Your figure is getting more and more stylish." Hayden, who had waited for a while, complimented with a smile.

"What about me?" Fergie circled in front of him.

"Ahem, you too."

The two returned to A+ Records in Hayden's car.

Zack Schneider has arrived, he is studying the script written by Song Ya,

"Is this the heroine?" he asked, looking at Fergie.

"Yes."

In the original MV, the heroine is wearing lace underwear and twisting coquettishly on the bed. Song Ya doesn’t plan to copy it. She is only sixteen years old, and the atmosphere of this era is conservative. If MTV doesn’t broadcast it, the loss outweighs the gain. .

And it's time to give Fergie some sweetness. The heroine must be hers. She has just turned seventeen, and her movements are still those movements. It will not be a big problem to let her wear more.

"no problem."

The two discussed the script thoroughly, and Zack Schneider agreed to take the job, "I'll start preparations when I get back to New York." He smiled and said, "Sony Columbia must like you very much. You can save them money like this, but I don't know what it is." It’s time to have the opportunity to shoot your big production.”

"There will be." Song Ya said with a smile: "Let's go to New York together, I'm going to record the official version of 'Trumpet', and I happen to chat more on the plane."

Song Ya communicated with Sony Columbia. Now that the popularity of Remember The Name has begun to decline, they do not plan to launch a large-scale promotion of Empire State of Mind in the near future. The release of the single "Trumpet" just fills the gap.

"APLUS!"

"APLUS, what do you think about the Lowry Jr. shooting?"

"Do you think this has anything to do with the gangs in Chicago and New York?"

"A source pointed out that you and Lowry Jr. both have gang backgrounds. Can you clarify? APLUS!"

As soon as he got out of LaGuardia Airport, annoying reporters surrounded him, and Al and Delay stopped him for him. At a sensitive moment, he didn't want to say anything to the reporters.

"Let Rang, Rang Rang..."

Hayden was still driving, and the penthouse was still being renovated, so the group had to stay in the hotel again.

"What does Atlantic Records think of Little Lowry?"

Hayden was the only one left in the room, Song Ya put down her luggage and asked.

"They're watching, you know, since they've turned Lowry into gangsta rap, they must be prepared for something like this to happen, and it's not necessarily a bad thing for gangsta rappers to get a bit of this kind of news." Hayden smiled meaningfully: "There is a saying: the person I like the most."

"well!"

Song Ya sighed, indeed, gangster rappers just want to give outsiders the impression of being aggressive and gang-connected, because their audience is low-level black people. The moral values ​​of these people are very different from the mainstream, and they do not reject Violence, drugs, gangs, women and other elements, the more famous the singer is, the more powerful they are on the road, the more they like it.

For Atlantic Records, Little Lowry kicked it away when he played off, and they didn't lose much. If they can really release a big-selling gangsta rap album, just like the Efil4zaggin that N.W.A is selling now, pay Old Joe The buyout fee is earned back, and it is the most stupid to give up little Lowry now.

It's just that if this is the case, little Lowry will lose the last force of dissuasion, and his behavior will inevitably tend to please the target audience more and more.

He could have escaped the shooting this time, what about the next time? What about next time?

Anyway, Song Ya knows that he has been targeted by the FBI, and they will not let go easily, just like N.W.A, when he was most famous, he was troubled by the FBI every three days.

"Let's go about our own business."

The next day, he and Hayden went to the fourth-floor apartment, chatted with the building manager there, and bought the twelve units. The management and property costs were also borne by him. Now the rental income here It is very important to him. If he really wants to buy land and factories in Silicon Valley, his liquidity will be very tight at that time.

"Your investment in Tribeca looks good now, I retract my previous opinion."

After coming out, Hayden said with a smile: "The economy is not good, and housing prices in most areas have risen, so it seems that there is not much difference between this place and the Upper West Side."

Mariah Carey is still running to promote. On June 20, Song Ya finished recording the official version of "Trumpet".

The box office of Jungle Fever in the second week remained at more than 7 million yuan, but the number of theaters increased by more than 100, so the box office of a single theater dropped.

"Hey, Cooper."

Song Ya received a call from Escube. This guy is under a lot of pressure now. The movie is about to be released and the future is uncertain. The album of the enemy N.W.A is also selling well. With the songs that attack him in it being played on radio stations all over the country, he is now ...in short, it is a lot of pressure.

"APLUS, are you coming to the premiere? July 12th." Eskub was still trying to attract people.

"Don't worry, Cooper, didn't I promise? I will come, but don't use me to support your propaganda. I have cooperation with N.W.A. I don't want to get involved in your affairs." Song Ya replied.

"Okay, as long as you can come, your kid is very popular now, I will remember this love."

Eskub was very happy, "Don't be afraid of N.W.A, they are almost finished, you believe me, then watch..."

Song Ya dealt with him with a haha, hung up the phone, and sneered, "This kid is stunned, N.W.A's album is now the second best-selling album in the whole meter, and he actually told me that they are almost finished."
