Chapter 275 BET Interview
Song Ya, the current commander in chief, knew something about him. He was born in a Wall Street banker family, his father was a senator, and he had close ties with the Rockefeller and Morgan consortia. His wife came from a well-known family on the east coast, and the ancestry of the couple can be traced back to one of the 102 passengers of the Mayflower, the typical 'blue blood' (derived from the blue veins clearly visible on the snow-white forearm of the Spanish royal family, It was later used to describe someone of extraordinary blood) Bumblebee (WASP: White, Anglo-Saxon, Presbyterian)' family background. According to the statistics of the publication "Social Roster", until this year, there were only more than 20,000 blue-blooded bumblebees in Quanmi.
Both the husband and wife are far away from ordinary people, not to mention the prices of some mass consumer goods, and sometimes they can't even pronounce their names, but they like to pretend to be close to the people, so naturally they made a lot of jokes. For example, when he returned from his tenure as the ambassador of the country of China, someone asked him, have you talked with ordinary people in the country of China?
He replied, "Of course we did."
What did you talk about?
"Please pick up my tennis ball."
"..."
He also served as the director of the CIA, so Song Ya deleted the CIA in the lyrics.
In contrast, the father of the governor of Arkansas, the highly anticipated Donkey Party candidate, is just an ordinary salesman. Popular with ordinary people dissatisfied with the status quo of the economy. However, this guy always attacks the incumbent commander-in-chief's policy towards China as being too "soft", and has repeatedly claimed that once elected, he will cancel China's most-favored-nation trade status.
Although the upper-level relations all come from the donkey party, Song Ya is not too cold about the governor, whether in terms of personal feelings or business interests.
Of course, he can't control the situation at this level, and now is not the time to think about politics, "Has Yeremov finished communicating with BET yet?" He is only concerned about how to promote Where Is The Love as soon as possible.
"It's been communicated, the news anchor Gordon went to Los Angeles, and BET promised to play Where Is The Love after his special report, just like FOX." A staff member replied.
"That's it?" Song Ya was a little dissatisfied. His relationship with BET was much closer than that of FOX. Why is BET also a TV station for black people.
"Uh..." Another staff member said in embarrassment: "Gordon will have an exclusive interview with the commander-in-chief in the next two days, and there may not be much time left for you, boss."
"oh,
Forget it. "
It seems that the commander-in-chief is now focused on appeasing the black community, even willing to do interviews with small cable TV stations with low coverage, just because BET is a black TV station.
"I didn't expect BET to get such a large amount of resources." The staff sighed: "After this incident, their subscribers are estimated to increase significantly."
"Hmph." Song Yaxin said that it's no wonder that Johnson has been busy with the trial of the Rodney King case for a long time, and even as the owner of a company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, he still does not hesitate to come to him personally to threaten and lure him.
"Hey, APLUS."
Leon Wilson and Common Sense showed up at the door, and they were very active on the recording of Where Is The Love.
In fact, the rap level of Common Sense is much higher than that of Al, but Song Ya still handed over the rap part of the last part of the song to Al. After all, Al has been working diligently with him for so many years.
"Taraji, go wake Fergie up."
Song Ya himself went to the small recording studio to hang his voice. The singer in the chorus part of the original version does not seem to appear in the MV, but the type of timbre is similar to the original singers such as I Feel It Coming and Feel It Still, and the difficulty is far less than Want to Want Me, he can handle it with ease.
"1234..."
In the morning, all the signed singers of A+ Records gathered in the deep sea recording studio, and Dion Wilson was counting the beat outside, "What's wrong with the world, mama? People livin' like they ain't got no mamas..."
Song Ya pressed the monitor earphones with both hands, and sang along with the accompaniment. The first part was basically his. Delay and Common Sense split the second part, Al the third part, and Fergie maintained her In the part of the original song, a camera was placed in the corner of the recording studio, and a photographer watched over it, silently recording the historical picture of the step-by-step birth of this song.
"Take a break, everyone." When Dion Wilson announced the break, everyone's throats were a little dry. Song Ya looked up and saw that it was already noon.
Taraji had already prepared the pizza, stacked in boxes in the control room.
"APLUS."
Taking advantage of the opportunity to replenish their strength, Delay and Al came over, "Shall we chat?"
The three entered the office and closed the door, "I'm sorry APLUS, I had a lot of problems this morning." Al said shamefully.
Indeed, the progress in the morning was basically slowed down by him.
"It's okay Al, hold your emotions, accuse, be confused, and question." Song Ya patted him on the shoulder nonchalantly, "You are my brother, do you think I will sing a large part of the lyrics to the new guy? Just the same as Remember The Name, you were so good on that song, uh, better than DeLay at least..."
Dillie laughed.
"We have to help Al find a way to Dilai." Song Ya said to him.
"Shall we help at the end of the sentence?" Delay should have discussed it with Al before coming.
"Okay, let's help Al shout a few more times." Song Ya nodded and agreed.
The two were completely relieved, when the door was knocked, "Come in." Taraji and the people from the publicity department pushed the door and walked in, "BET's latest special report."
In this special report titled "? Black Men Speak Out: The Aftermath", BET host Gordon personally visited the front line of Los Angeles, and deeply analyzed everything that happened there as a black man, including poverty, drugs in the black community , the problem of the proliferation of guns, the reasons for the conflicts of various ethnic groups, the various inappropriate behaviors of white law enforcement agencies before and after the riots, and some touching good people and good things that happened during the riots.
Basically, the report reveals that ethnic conflicts have existed for a long time. The outbreak of black hatred is not without reason. The local white-dominated law enforcement agencies are the culprit. They chose to give up the governance of some ordinary neighborhoods, and put the police force on the roads leading to Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and some wealthy areas, etc... Finally, thanks to the timely emergency response by the commander, the riots have now been resolved control.
"Let's end this special report with the singing of APLUS and his companions! At the same time, please look forward to the special program I will bring to you tomorrow: an in-depth dialogue with the general."
After Gordon finished speaking, the video of Song Ya singing Where Is The Love appeared on the TV again at the intersection of Clark Street.
"The effect of this program is very good, much better than the blunt FOX." The publicity department staff said: "This Gordon is a very good media person."
"BET's stock is going to soar, why didn't I think of buying some in advance?" Song Ya was thinking about this.
Not long after, BET boss Johnson called.
"APLUS, are you going to Los Angeles tomorrow? The Commander wants to shake hands with you and chat with you, in front of the TV camera." Johnson said.
"Uh... come on Johnson, don't make it hard for me, you know, it would embarrass me."
It's okay for a song to be used by the Elephant Party to publicize it. I am going to share the stage with the commander-in-chief at this time? That was almost an endorsement of the other party's election support. Song Ya's relationship with the donkey party would not be happy to see this "betrayal and defection" behavior, and he could tell the difference between the serious and the serious.
"Okay, your song is very good, it will be popular in Quanmi. We will strengthen our cooperation in the future, and when your album starts to be announced, leave us an exclusive interview." Johnson didn't force it, "Also, a girl named Liu John's Shilla lawyer asked me for your contact information, he may visit you in a few days."
"The interview is okay, lawyer from Xinluo? Is there anything he can do with me?" Song Ya asked.
"Please express your gratitude. He will give you some small honors on behalf of the Xinluo people. I heard that there are some Xinluo people living on Clark Street, and your song also helped to calm the situation in Los Angeles." Johnson added at the end, "He is not an ordinary practicing lawyer, but rather a legal expert. He has a very good relationship with the senior leaders of the Elephant Party, especially Cheney."
"Mr. Minister of Defense? Yes, I see. I'll entertain him."
