Chapter 258 Small Talk

It's amazing that Sony Columbia Records' celebration dinner is still arranged at the World Trade Center, which happened to be the place where Song Ya got the apocalypse epirestateofd when talking with Mariah Carey last year, and they won this year's award with this song Grammy for best single and one of the most important awards.

"Mr. Aps, can you get closer to Miss Kelly?"

The photographer interrupted Song Ya's mental activity, and he directed the three grand prize winners to take a group photo, "Mr. Bolton, you too, get closer, and get closer."

Song Ya and Michael Bolton sandwiched Mariah Carey in the middle, and each of the three held a golden Grammy trophy: a golden gramophone, and kept posing various poses to the camera.

The three got closer, Michael Bolton was colder, Song Ya and Mariah Carey hugged each other, smiling brightly.

"Okay, then let's take a few more group photos." The photographer asked the other winners who were waiting on the side to come over, including the Chinese cellist oo whom Song Ya saw before, and the multi-player group he belonged to was also signed. Sony Columbia Records.

"Mr. Motura, you came just in time." After taking a group photo, the photographer saw Motura approaching, "Let's take a photo together."

"ii, Michael, congratulations." Motura first hugged Mariah Carey, and then shook hands with Michael Bolton, "And aps, congratulations, well done." He happily patted Song Ya's Shoulder, of course, refers to Song Ya's role in winning the best record award of the year.

After offending Quincy Jones and Russell Simmons, and Sony Columbia Records has no key public relations, Song Ya relies on Shirley Fleming, Rick Robin, Baren Boy, babfae, Steven, Ace The influence of Cooper, Dre and others, as well as the strong support of William Morris, plus the previous American music magazine "Savior" won the grand prize. Of course, the excellent quality of epirestateofd itself and Mariah Carey and her performance are also important factors, plus Johnson's bet stopped the slander in time.

But winning this award does not show how much influence Song Ya really has. Shirley Fleming, Barenboy, babfae, and Steven all repaid him in this Grammy for various reasons , this year's support can't be extended to the future, Rick Robin has an exchange of benefits, next year he will return the tickets to his singers, and Escube, Dre and others will also give other returns in the future.

Therefore, if his influence does not continue to increase, this year will actually be the year when he has the strongest network in the Grammys. This achievement does not mean anything, let alone superstars like J who no longer care about the Grammy Awards up.

Motura spread his arms behind the winners in a gesture of helm.

"heese..."

After the photo shoot, "ii, I'll take you to meet some people." Motura raised his elbows and gestured to Mariah Carey.

Mariah Carey's face changed, but she didn't respond.

"Uh, well, I know you're angry about the Best Female Pop Singer thing, but I can't help it, I tried my best." Motura thought about it, and didn't bother with the hand-holding thing anymore, "Come on, Babfae and Darryl are there."

Mariah Carey greeted everyone, "Excuse me." She gave Song Ya a knowing look and left behind Motura.

"The guy from Fae Records?"

Michael Bolton was a little surprised, "Is Miss Kelly going to transition to rhythm and blues?"

"Many music critics think that the 1990s will be the era of rhythm and blues." Someone replied.

Michael Bolton curled his lips and didn't express any further opinions, and he also left to find someone he knew.

"oo."

Song Ya didn't expect babfae to come too, but he was not in a hurry to meet, so he took this opportunity to say hello to the Chinese cellist, "Congratulations, shall we go over and have a chat too?" Here he directly used Chinese.

That oo was taken aback by him,

"You... hello." His Chinese was blunt, "How do you speak so fluently?" Everyone knows that Song Ya is half-Chinese, but few people know that he speaks Chinese so well. .

"Haha, not bad."

"Not only is it good... There is no environment for speaking Chinese in the United States, I only speak it at home." He still switched to English midway.

Song Ya stopped showing off, and returned to English, handed the trophy to Taraji for safekeeping, walked to the buffet counter with him to get some food, and chatted.

"I've heard your Game of Thrones song, it's a very good skit..." The topic naturally revolved around classical music at first.

"So you have a good relationship with Mr. Barenboy?" Song Ya asked when he heard that the other party said that he had also cooperated with Barenboy.

"Of course, this circle is very small." Oo sighed, "and it's getting smaller and smaller."

Song Ya's chatting level was very high if he deliberately cliched, and soon he learned that Barenboy's ex-wife, the British national treasure cellist Dupree, passed on a famous violin she owned to oo before her death. He also found out what Asian Americans think of Miss Saigon the musical.

"You mean... do Asians in the United States like this musical very much?" Song Ya was a little surprised, "Why?"

"You don't like it?" oo asked back, as if Barenboy had asked this question before.

"Uh, don't you think the perspective of this drama is a bit too American-centric? Vietnamese girls love American soldiers to death or something." Since the other party is pure Chinese, Song Ya has no scruples in speaking.

"It's true, but the presence of Asians in the United States is too low. Miss Saigon is the first Broadway musical with Asian artists as the majority, so of course, everyone likes it." oo said: "Everyone thinks This is a major improvement, at least much better than the image of Fu Manzhou or jap (a discriminatory title for the book), and many Asians will even make a special trip to watch the show on Broadway."

"That's it." Song Ya didn't take it seriously, "It's like stepping on a person first and then helping him up and throwing a bone?"

"Ha!" oo laughed, "That's why I asked in advance 'do you not like it', according to our experience, only people who came to Huaguo mainland after the opening of the country will have similar views on this musical as you do, With few exceptions."

"Yeah?"

fxxk, almost exposed, "Hehe, I'm a native of Chicago South City." Song Ya hurriedly covered it up.

"I know, so I talked about it when I was talking to Barenboy about you."

"Really? I didn't expect you to talk about me."

"Of course, we're not stubborn people who never listen to pop music." Oo blinked and said with a smile, "And we all voted for you, many people."

"I know, I'm very grateful, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten that award."

At this time Walt came over, "aps, come to chat with us?"

"Okay, sorry, let's talk again when we have a chance. Oh, by the way, can you do an interview for American Music, write a manuscript or something?"

After getting an affirmative answer, Song Ya followed Walt to join Roberto Clivell, David Cole and other old friends.

"Where's your wife?" Song Ya never saw Walter's wife.

"Oh!" Walter sighed, "I'm going through the divorce procedure with me, so don't mention her."

"Well, why did Mr. Motura take Miss Kelly to meet Babfae and the others?" Song Ya took the opportunity to inquire.

"Why else, Miss Carey wants to try some rhythm and blues style for her 9-year album." Roberto Clivell was a little unhappy about this, and Motura found another producer for Mariah Carey. The production content of the three of them will be compressed.

"I heard people say that the 1990s will be the era of rhythm and blues?" Song Ya asked.

"Maybe, who knows, those music critics are just betting. If they get it right, they jump out and shout that they are ahead of their time. If they get it wrong, they rub their noses and play dead. David Bowie (rock star) also said that hip-hop music It represents the future, because other music styles are stagnant in the old framework, only hip-hop music is always trying new things."

David Cole replied.

"By the way, I heard that David Bowie is pursuing the supermodel Iman? Is that the one where j's v appeared?" Walter asked.

"Your news is too closed Walter, they are getting married, in April."

Roberto Clivell said: "By the way, when will your new album release aps? Is there a chance for Shakira in the remaining songs?"

This guy mentioned Shakira to himself whenever he got a chance, "It's not decided yet, don't worry, I won't forget her as long as I have a chance." Song Ya could only promise to be perfunctory.

"How about your partnership business?" Walter asked.

"It's not bad." Roberto Clivell was very satisfied with Song Ya on this point, "The land that Riise bought in Silicon Valley is a very successful investment, and the factory is also making money."

The four of them got together and chatted from one topic to another, "Hi...can I join?" Mariah Carey leaned over.
