Chapter 308 SNL
"Aplus, your sense of humor needs to be strengthened. ????A`"
After recording Saturday Night Live (SNL) on nbc as a guest, the editor and director of the program complained unhappily when he came out with him: "Stars should have a little fun on our show, otherwise it will not be easy to shine, and the audience will feel that you I'm putting on airs."
"Sorry, my agent advised me to be more cautious. I'm only seventeen years old, and I'm afraid of saying the wrong thing."
The old trick, Song Ya put all the responsibility on Hayden.
"You? Say the wrong thing? I might as well believe that King George can say the wrong thing."
"Are you complimenting me?"
"No!" The other party couldn't bear it anymore, and said loudly: "We want the program effect!"
"Uh, sorry, I'll be more prepared next time."
"Next time ah?" The other party sneered and stretched out his hand.
It feels like there will be no next time, Song Ya can only shake hands with him and leave. SNL's ratings and influence in the United States are very high. The average ratings of the last season were 12.37%. The column director is not a small role. This show is still a comedy star The cradle, where Eddie Murphy became famous and went to Hollywood.
"I feel that you have to learn how to be on the show with Snoop Dogg. He is just a newcomer, and you have been on the show for two years." Yeremov was not very satisfied.
"SNL's style is too spoof, I can't get used to it." Song Ya got into the car.
"The most important thing for celebrities to come here is not to worry about their image, and the audience doesn't think it's any good for you to play a little bit more freely on this kind of show. Maybe this episode of yours is not as effective as that episode of Little Lowry and Old Qiaona back then! "
Yeremov babbled, "I hope they edit it better."
At the beginning of August, beautifulgirls premiered on mtv, and a single disc containing three singing styles and a dance music remix version was also released simultaneously. Sony Columbia Records won the opportunity for Song Ya to participate in SNL, but it seemed that he screwed up.
The next night, SNL aired on time, and because of the support of the popular singer Aplus, the ratings for the first episode soared to 15%.
"Aplus, welcome." The host stood on the SNL stage and visited Song Ya.
"Hello." Song Ya made a face.
"Wow, I just remembered that you are still a high school student." The host began to tease Song Ya's clothes.
A bright sports jacket, a t-shirt with Chinese characters and a pair of simple jeans. Song Ya didn't wear a gold three-piece suit this time, and she was indeed dressed like an ordinary high school student.
"Yes." Song Ya smiled.
"I heard that you skipped the twelfth grade and you are going to study at the University of Chicago next semester?" the host asked.
"Yes, I will enroll next spring." Song Ya replied.
"Then I'm going to test you." The host put on a pose to test knowledge, and then a basketball rolled in from outside the TV screen. He picked it up, and the audience began to laugh wildly.
"I thought you were going to take a math test." Song Ya also smiled.
"Math? Who wants to see math on our show?" the host said, and the audience laughed again. He handed the basketball to Song Ya, "Come on, show us some tricks, you are tall, can you dunk?"
"Uh, let me try." Song Ya picked up the basketball.
"Wow! He picked it up, he picked it up with one hand!" the host screamed in a funny tone.
"It's nothing, right?" Song Ya straightened her arms and waved the basketball a few times with one hand.
"It's amazing." A regular actor pretending to be ugly walked into the stage holding a simple plastic basketball hoop.
Of course, the height is much lower than the standard basketball stand. Song Ya started to try to dunk, but the guy kept moving the basketball stand to make Song Ya's dunk fail. After some program effects, Song Ya finally dunked one, and then imitated Jordan Tongue out and rushing to the camera to celebrate,
But soon the painting style changed, and Song Ya's tongue began to circle the TV camera...
The male and female audience at the scene immediately let out a knowing smile.
Right here, the ratings of the show reached the highest of 16.7. After the dunk performance, the host took out a hundred-yuan bill, "Good job, aplus, here it is for you."
This is a stalk in the MV of Little Lowry, and the audience laughed again.
"Didn't I ask you to notify SNL to cut this paragraph?" Song Ya said to Yeremov unhappily.
"I notified, but they are SNL." Yeremov had no choice.
"Uh..." The face of myself in the TV camera obviously changed.
"Take it, take it, take it..." The host began to imitate Little Lowry's action of stuffing money in the MV.
Song Ya reluctantly took the money and stuffed it into his pocket.
"He accepted it, he accepted it!" The host waved hip-hop gestures and imitated Little Lowry and sang, "I comforted you who were crying, and I gave you a Franklin..."
Song Ya stood still, looking at him with wtf.
"Okay, let's stop playing, let's welcome the beautifulgirls brought to us by aplus!"
The music show begins, "you'rewaytoobeautifulgirl..."
Song Ya began to sing beautiful girls with the accompaniment of the SNL band, and all the resident comedians came on stage, and began to "scratch their heads and poses" around him, posing various funny poses. Then the ratings began to plummet during Song Ya's boring performance. After the outdoor skit between him and the two SNL resident comedians, the ratings fell below 10, which also affected the following political satire columns.
"It's not bad. The average ratings are only a little lower than the average ratings of the previous season." Hayden put down the phone after asking the ratings survey agency.
"Can it be the same?"
Yeremov continued to babble: "Every paragraph of political satire in SNL is purposeful. According to the survey, they can even influence the voting tendency of many voters to a certain extent, and they tend to the donkey party. This issue is aimed at satirizing and Attack the current commander in chief, but all of this was ruined by aplus."
"It seems that you have a big opinion on me?" Song Ya looked at him.
"No, no, no..." Yeremov waved his hands again and again, "But you really need to strengthen your ability in this area."
"Take your time." Song Ya waved his hand, "I'm going to rest, and it's the ranking cycle again, I'm busy this month."
The second day of the all-mi tour promotion and ranking began non-stop. Song Ya left the Greater New York area, and the first stop this time was Atlanta and other places in the south.
"In the first week, it airborne at No. 8 on the Billboard Singles Chart, which is a good result."
On August 8th, Yeremov walked in with the latest Billboard magazine. This week's top single is Mariah Carey's cover of The Jackson Five's "l'llthere". Apart from her, Song Ya is ranked first. It's all tough, Madonna, sirmix-a-lot, tlc, Guns N' Roses, Billy Ray Cyrus.
Mariah Carey has already won seven titles since her debut, four titles in the first album, and one title in the second album. The EP of this mtv unplugged concert won two titles, l'llthere even won the title with a cover song, empirestatemindpartii It's actually half a cover.
"It shouldn't be a problem for beautifulgirls to hit the top list, right?" Song Ya asked.
This song "beautifulgirls" quickly swept across the country, and many places that teenagers like to go to, such as theaters, roller skating rinks, beaches, department stores, etc., are all playing this song with no connotation.
"The melody is catchy, and many people like to hum along to it." Yeremov summed it up a little bit, "Once you are familiar with it, you often go through it in your mind, and then want to listen again... So, since your debut, There should be no problem with the third championship single after "wherethelove" and "wherethelove."
"That's three championships in one college." Song Ya couldn't help but feel complacent.
"Your main enemy is endtheroad, should we unite with Sony Columbia Records..." Hayden began to come up with bad ideas.
"don't want."
Song Ya doesn't want to do anything to Babyface's song, and the Motown Records he belongs to have a huge influence in the black community, although they can't be considered a big record company since MJ left.
He didn't intend to make trouble here, but Motown Records can't rest assured. After all, the singers under Sony Columbia Records dominated the charts in the first half of the year, and the momentum was too compelling.
In Atlanta, the executives of Motown Records, accompanied by Babyface, took the initiative to meet Song Ya at Laface Records.
"Then we have agreed?" The two sides chatted happily and confirmed again before Song Ya left.
"Let's put it down, I'm not the kind of person who will use dirty tricks." Song Ya gave him a guarantee.
"Okay, thanks, aplus."
Song Ya left Laface Records, and Donnie Braston's manager suddenly appeared.
"Has your MV heroine been decided yet?" the other party cut to the chase.
"It's been decided, why?" Song Ya pretended to be stupid, not because he didn't want to give Tang Ni a chance, but if she was allowed to appear in his mv, Mariah Carey's backyard might catch fire.
"That's it, that's a pity. I still want to find opportunities for Tang Ni." Her manager asked again, "What about the MVs of other songs? Like showthemoney?"
"The filming plans and candidates for other mvs have been confirmed."
In fact, no, but Song Ya can only say this, "Does Tang Ni still need this kind of opportunity? Her single with babyface has received a good response. She has already become popular now, and it is not suitable to appear in other singers' mvs." right?"
"Laface Records arranged for her first album to be in the second half of 1993." The manager sighed, "She is very confused, can you find a chance to meet in these two days?"
"Don't worry, with the babyface covering her, she is sure to become popular."
Song Ya tactfully refused. Although Tang Ni's explosive figure is very memorable, Song Ya has no intention of developing a long-term relationship with her.
"I saw the mv!"
In the evening, Shakira, a South American lover, called. She was very excited, "Now all Colombians know me."
After the MV spread to Colombia, she quickly became popular and became a hotly discussed figure in the country. Aplus's MV's reputation as a heroine continued. Even in the United States, many media began to ask, "Who has a particularly twisted waist?" Who are the good Latin girls? '
"Then you still want to show off the new album?" Song Ya asked.
"I don't know anymore. The South American branch decided to give me more resources. It's hard for me to make a choice," Shakira said.
"Think about it yourself, it's about your future, and I can't give you any advice."
