Chapter 207 Fan Club

The timing of this wave of self-expression is not bad. The VMA has just ended, and there is another gap period between the new singles of Prince and MJ. Attracted by the news that "APLUS is disheartened and will soon fade out of the pop music circle", the public will pay attention Bet again outside the villa in Hyde Park.

"Since the disappearance of Frank, Mr. APLUS has been subjected to excessive media attention and interpretation for a long time, as well as all kinds of irresponsible rumors. Will quit the pop music circle, Mr. APLUS has not made a final decision, in any case, he himself said that the experience of pop music creator and singer over the past year is a precious harvest and memory on his growth path in life."

As Song Ya's spokesperson, Hamlin held a simple press conference outside the villa.

"Is his intention to withdraw related to the recently rumored record company dispute?" a reporter asked.

"I have no comment," Hamlin replied.

"Lowry Jr. released a DISS song recently..."

"Um, I won't answer this kind of questions today, thank you for your cooperation."

"Was that symphony composed by APLUS himself? As far as I know, he is only under seventeen years old, isn't it a little too early?"

"Mozart started composing music when he was four years old. There is nothing too early in this industry..."

After the press conference, the response from the media was good, and they all began to feel sorry for Song Ya. After all, letting a popular singer quit the circle, he must have suffered a great grievance. For the first time, the wind direction outside began to change Motura is bad.

"Motura forced away the talented creator, leaving only four famous songs, one of which has not been published..."

The potential next door is also much more positive than before. BABYFACE is the first one. This time he simply visited with his partner L.A. Reid. He repeated the media's remarks, "This time you made him a little embarrassed."

BABYFACE, who won the last battle about Donnie Braston, was very happy to see Motura deflated, "Can we go to the school to have a close look at your new symphony? If we can really reach a cooperation, maybe we can Tuck it into the soundtrack to Stealing the Holy Spirit.”

"You LAFACE Records really want me to pay you 30 million?"

Song Ya felt the sincerity of the other party, but had doubts about their company's strength, "In addition, you have to help me get those six singles back from Motura."

"Of course not by us,

At that time Alista Records will also participate, you know, our LAFACE record belongs to Alista, and Whitney Houston is also signed to this record company, she is very interested in you..." BABYFACE said.

"Why don't we get in the car and talk again?" L.A. Reid didn't speak the whole time. He has been observing Song Ya silently. Compared with BABYFACE, he has a much better relationship with Motura. He has cooperated many times in his career. His current attitude Some ambiguous.

"Okay, please." Song Ya set off with them to the school.

"But Alista just suffered a major blow, right? I remember that the Milli Vanilli's group that just caused a scandal is under Alista Records." Song Ya is still not at ease.

"This is just a small problem. Alistar Records belongs to RCA, and RCA belongs to BMG." BABYFACE patiently explained the background of his own record company, "As one of the six major record companies, you will never doubt the strength of BMG. Bar?"

"Why does it sound more complicated than feudal enfeoffment, my lord's lord's lord..." Song Ya smiled wryly: "So you are also here on behalf of BMG?"

"Basically, BMG is huge, with so many labels, we can only represent our own label and Alistar Records."

Chatting and chatting, a group of people came to the school and watched the rehearsal for nearly two hours, "It's very good." L.A. Reid carefully read all Song Ya's scores, "Maybe you are also good at making soundtracks in Hollywood."

"Come on, you can all contract the soundtrack production of Hollywood blockbusters, and I only have such a small work now." Song Ya still knew that the other party was very important, and this was not deliberately modest.

L.A. Reid and BABYFACE took the time to discuss for a while, and the two made several phone calls, and came back to formally propose conditions, "Alista has 50% ownership of A+ Records and ten years of distribution rights, and you Two Plus One is co-produced by A+ Records and LAFACE Records."

This condition was harsher than Song Ya imagined, and he immediately refused, "I'm sorry, I'm a one-off price, first come, first served, and I don't want to participate in long-term negotiations."

"Okay, let's go back and discuss it." The two talented producers and record company bosses left in disappointment.

Then David Geffen called on behalf of MCA Records. He asked in detail about the current competition surrounding Song Ya, and said that it is possible to make an offer at any time, but it seems impossible to fully match Song Ya's wishes.

"APLUS, is what you said to the media true? Do you really want to quit the pop music circle?"

In the evening, Mariah Carey also called, "You can't just give up your music career, I can't take it anymore, I want to have a good talk with Tommy about you."

"No, Mimi, I just wanted to put some pressure on Tommy, it's purely because of business, you know, don't mix it up, I know it."

Song Ya didn't want to talk to her about this, "I watched your performance Mimi at the VMA, it was so amazing, it crushed the audience... Yours also topped the bulletin board, congratulations."

At the VMA party, Mariah Carey sang a super-difficult song, which surprised everyone. The second album of the same name also reversed the flat sales situation and began to sell well. Motura said nothing about her career plan, she walked steadily, step by step, very solid.

"Yeah, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief." Mariah Carey also felt relieved, "Do you really don't need me to talk to Tommy about you?"

"It's really not necessary, if you treat me as a friend." Song Ya could only divert the topic again, "But what happened to that white top you wore at the VMA? I thought you were wearing it at first glance. The pajamas are on stage."

"Hahaha..." She was indeed distracted, "It's just silk, do you think so? I knew I wouldn't listen to the stylist..."

"But the black silk on the legs is very nice, people can't help but want to touch it, it must feel good..." Song Ya started talking.

"Hey! You're still a child, don't be bad..." Mariah Carey didn't think too much about it, "No one cares what I wear, now everyone is talking about the prince's pants..."

"Oh I know, I was dumbfounded when he turned around and exposed those two holes..."

The prince wore a pair of buttock pants during the live performance, that is, two holes were hollowed out behind the buttocks, which just exposed the naked buttocks. Now it has become a hot topic in the whole meter. The tradition of VMA's troubles every year is well-deserved.

"Really? I was backstage and didn't know what was going on outside, I just heard a lot of people screaming..."

The two talked on the phone for a long time before saying goodnight to each other and hanging up.

Motura seems to have really prepared some conspiracy for Song Ya at the VMA, because William Morris found out that Sony Columbia Records had publicized some media in advance, preparing to reserve a place for related reports after the VMA, but that is not important anymore, Song Ya didn't go at all, and all the plots naturally collapsed.

On October 14th, MJ's new single "or white" was released globally. This nearly four-minute song actually appeared on different occasions a few years ago, but it was just a re-arrangement and improvement of the lyrics. MJ did not choose the first time. Playing on the charts, although the momentum still caused shock in the music circle like a typhoon and tsunami, it didn't seem to match MJ's status as the king of pop.

The lyrics are not very popular with the black community. Although MJ responded to some doubts about him and his consistent anti-war and anti-racist attitude in the song, he also said, "I don't live for a certain skin color in this life." It doesn't matter if you are white', how can the black group be satisfied with such words.

I don't know what Sony Columbia Records has to do to deal with it. I think Motura must not have the energy to take care of himself in a short time. Song Ya held a birthday party under Yeremov's suggestion, and the All Mi Fans Association first The first batch of elected 'leaders' were called together, as well as some lucky fans in Chicago.

Although the declaration of leaving the pop music circle is a powerful blow to Motura, the negative effect is that it is easy to disperse the precious popularity that has just been gathered, and holding a fan event is also a means of retaining core fans.

Yeremov rented out a small local theater in Chicago. About two or three hundred fans came. Song Ya was very close to them, and many of them sat on the ground close to the stage.

"This?is?definitely?the?wickedest?thing?I?ever?hear?in?my?life!"

The performance started with Show Me The Money, and De Lai’s voice just fit Song Ya’s current situation. Fans started screaming when they saw Song Ya jumping onto the stage with these words, and the female fans were so excited that they cried With tears all over his face, he shouted: "APLUS! Don't go! Don't leave us!"

"I won't leave y'all! Show?off?that?body?you?got, You?got?that?dance, ?glow?so?hot, You?workin'?that, ?you?twerkin'?that, You? ?tickin'?that?like?a?clock..."

Song Ya made a promise and started to sing. After Show Me The Money cheered up the audience, he sometimes expressed himself with Remember The Name, and sometimes expressed his affection with I Feel It Coming. He kept shaking hands with fans and interacted very much. Work hard.

"Very good, the effect is superb!" After the performance, Yeremov rubbed his hands excitedly in the dressing room, "Your few rap songs are not inferior to those rock bands in terms of stage performance."

"Hi, APLUS." Taraji walked in with the black elder sister Denise whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Hey, Denise, how was today's performance? Tell the truth." According to Yeremov's account, Song Ya has a very good attitude towards such ultra-activists among fans and wins over with her heart.

"Cool man..." Denise came over and bumped fists with Song Ya. The two 'fist styles' were quite different because of their gang origins. A set of fist bumps was done and they did air-to-air several times. "It's a pity that Kasiti didn't Come, or she will faint from crying." Denise said regretfully to hide her embarrassment.

"By the way, why didn't Kasiti come? I heard from her that she is your right-hand man at the Chicago fan club..." Song Ya also remembered that she hadn't seen Kasiti at the scene.

Denise said, "Looks like something happened to his father."

"Oh?" Song Ya rolled his eyes, "What happened? Can I help?"

"You can't help." Denise waved her hand socially, "Her father was a black policeman in the stormtroopers, and now there are rumors that because there was a traitor in the police force, his father 'executed' one of his men , has now been suspended pending investigation."

"Wow, it's so explosive..." Song Ya's eyes lit up, "Is the source reliable?"
