Chapter 221: Number 5 in the Annual Ranking

"Why does it sound like it was written to me?"

Mariah Carey was very excited, "Suicidal, is your heart hurt like this?"

"What do you think? My heart is broken...it's all your fault."

Song Ya grabbed her hand and put it on his heart.

"Not a single word of truth, little pervert!" Mariah Carey withdrew her hand and rolled her eyes, walked to Song Ya's makeup mirror and fiddled with her hair, "The gossip newspaper said you tricked Halle Berry into my home?"

"Shxt! Those tabloids dare to make up anything, Harley just went to Chicago to promote, and she just stayed at my house for a few days." Song Ya half sat and half leaned on the dressing table next to her, and handed her a comb, "How about my new song?" ? Give me some advice."

"Tch, do Hollywood actresses need to stay at a friend's house? Warner Pictures can't afford the hotel?"

Mariah Carey took the comb, "Okay, let's not pursue this. You just changed several voices to sing this song. Do you have any special considerations?"

Ifulgirls, Song Ya, in addition to using her voice to imitate the timbre and singing method of the original singer, also tried two other processing methods, one is ifeelitj's tune, and the other is the original voice used in showmethemohe.

"Yes, which one do you like?" Song Ya asked her.

"I like the first one." I didn't expect Mariah Carey to like the original singer's way of handling it.

"Why!?" Song Ya was a little surprised, "Don't you think it's a little greasy, a little glib?"

"But the sound is very recognizable. You know, it is very important whether this kind of saliva song can catch the audience's ears in the first place."

Mariah Carey's insight into music is recognized by Song Ya. When she said this, the three options that Song Ya was hesitant in her heart had already come to fruition, "You are right mimi, I think I am a fan of the authorities. gone."

"Is it? I told you already, I like the first one too." Lightbulb Hayden interrupted inappropriately.

Song Ya glared at him and pointed out the door.

"Okay, okay..." Hayden had no choice but to walk out.

"Ah..." Mariah Carey stood up in a panic, "I'm going back to my dressing room too."

"mimi..."

Are you so afraid of being alone with me? Song Ya still wanted to stay, "Miss Kelly..." Mariah Carey's female assistant and entourage all appeared outside the door, so he had no choice but to give up.

"By the way, I haven't congratulated you aplus yet..."

Mariah Carey walked to the door, turned around and said to Song Ya: "the won the fifth place on the Billboard annual list."

In 1991, Song Ya's four-week champion single the ranked fifth on the Billboard annual list, second only to Paula Abdul's rush. If it weren't for Motura's continuous suppression for several months, it would probably be able to move forward. Shift times. Of course, the number one position is unshakable, firmly occupied by Bryan Adams' idoitforyido), which is also the theme song of the blockbuster Prince of Thieves Robin Hood.

"Thanks."

Song Ya saw Mariah Carey pouted when she spoke, and knew that she was a little unhappy. This year, her highest song was only at the fourteenth place, but last year she got the sixth. Regressed.

"The ranking on the billboard doesn't really mean anything, so don't worry too much about it." Song Ya had no choice but to coax her.

"Hmph." She disappeared at the door with her thoughts on her mind.

"In addition to the, your ifeeliting also ranks in the top fifty..."

Hayden came back again, "Empirestateofmind is also well received by professionals, and next year's awards season will depend on this song."

"I know, I know, but will Motura cooperate with me?"

Song Ya is all worried. Although he and Motura have reconciled in business, the relationship between the two is much colder now. The previous saying of "enough time to mend the relationship slowly" cannot be taken as true.

"We William Morris will keep an eye on it." Hayden didn't miss any chance to gain a presence for his company,

"Also, don't cut off contact with Steven, Quincy Jones, and babyface. The sprint for the awards season has begun. Black musicians headed by them have a lot of influence on the Grammys, not to mention They dominated the Soul Train Music Awards."

"These three people?"

Song Ya pondered for a while. During the previous conflict with Motura, Quincy Jones flinched. Babyface rejected several offers. In the end, he chose to reconcile with Sony Columbia Records. He must have a bit of a grudge.

"Next year's Grammys and Soul Train music awards, babyface and Steven from Atlantic Records have agreed to help..."

In the battle for Donny Braston, Song Ya used information asymmetry to earn a promise from babyface and Steven, and the other party should not break their promises, but it will be difficult to say what will happen in the future.

"Help me find some excuses and get in touch with them."

Quincy Jones, Babyface, Steven, the friendship between these three black musicians must be maintained, as well as another partner of Laface Records, L.A. Reid, they have a lot of energy. Of course, MJ has even more energy, but MJ has some old grievances with Billboard Magazine and the Grammy Awards in the 1980s, and Song Ya doesn't want to ask him for help anymore.

"Okay." Hayden agreed.

Song Ya put on a baseball jacket similar to the fat guy in the original beautifulgirls mv, paired it with jeans and a shiny a+ tag on her chest, walked out of the dressing room, went to the stage to join Mariah Carey and the pianist, and began to perform for the trans Annual gala rehearsal.

"Use this version at that time." The staff of Sony Columbia Records began to play the prepared accompaniment tape, "Aplus, are you ready for the temporary words?"

"Get ready." Song Ya walked to the marked position in the corner of the rehearsal field, and waved to the nonexistent audience, "Happy New Year! Everybody!"

"When the time comes, there will be jets of dry ice and color bars coming out in front of you, don't be frightened." The staff reminded.

"Okay. I grew up in Chicago, and now I walk in New York..." Song Ya walked to the second marked place while singing, and motioned to Mariah Carey, "New York..." She began to sing.

"It's perfect, Ms. Kelly, please pay attention. When aplus introduces you to the audience, the lights will shine on you. You should be more energetic in your appearance, and you'd better make some moves to the audience." After the song was sung, the staff continued to remind.

"I know I know." Mariah Carey waved her hand impatiently.

"Aplus, the pressure on the lyrics is all on you."

"I won't forget the words, don't worry."

The two finished the rehearsal after concentrating on preparing for half a day. Times Square is the landmark and center of New York. It is usually very busy. The stage can only be temporary, and it will be set up on the same day, and the area will not be very large. In order to create a lively New Year's Eve atmosphere, the lights, fireworks and supporting dancers will be exaggerated. With the countless audiences in the audience, the scene is very noisy, so the organizers and audiences can tolerate the singer's lip-synch, and choose two real singers. If a person has a small situation, no one will find something to find fault with.

"Call me, bye."

Walking off the stage, assistants, bodyguards, and some staff who came to ask for autographs were surrounded by a lot of people.

"Bye, see you then."

There was no chance to chat alone again, so we had to say goodbye to each other, and each left surrounded by the front and back.

"Samuel is calling..." Hayden became very excited when he got in the car, "Motura is going to pay you a lot of money!"

"Is this guy finally willing to settle the record revenue?"

The news was expected, but Song Ya was still very happy after learning about it, "yes! It's finally come to this day!"

"Congratulations aplus, you will become a real multi-millionaire..."
