Chapter 314 No One Dares to Speak Ill of Me

In early September, the group finally returned to Chicago.

"Your beautifulgirls has been on the B chart for three consecutive weeks, and it seems that this week will continue." The people from A Records in the office are standing or sitting, and the atmosphere is a little dignified, "Did you meet people from Motown Records in Detroit?" ?” Hayden asked.

"I've seen it. They are very nervous now, and they are very worried about me and Motura. It's hard to see Motura, so they keep looking for opportunities to chat with me."

Song Ya is also a little helpless. Boyzan's song Endtheroad won the championship for four consecutive weeks, and the momentum still shows no signs of weakening. According to professional predictions, it may even break the Elvis record for more than ten consecutive weeks and leave a name in the record history. Thought-of.

And I am also facing the difference in the historical status of the first two championships and the first three championships. I and Sony Columbia Records spent a lot of resources on the song Beautiful Girls, but I have been stuck in the second place. I can see hope. Look. It is not uncommon in the record industry to have the motivation to engage in other party's black material when there is no hope. But the other party was Motown Records, where Yu Wei was still in the black music circle, and the producer was still Babyface, so it was hard to do business or favor.

"In the old days, Motown would never have worried about this," Yeremov said.

Motown Records, which originated in Detroit, was once one of the strongholds of black music. In its heyday, it had a series of Jackson brothers, Diana Ross, Marvin Gaye, Steve Wanda, Lionel Richie, etc. It can be said that it has changed The top black singer of the world's music trend, the music style of the entire record company has a special title of "Motown Sound", and the boss Berry Gordy has also occupied the throne of the richest black man in the United States for a long time.

It's a pity that in the 1980s, the company began to memorize words. Steve Wanda was out of breath, Marvin Gaye and J left successively, Lionel Richie faded out of the music scene, and finally Berry Gordy in 1988. The record company sold it to CA for a measly $60 million. What's even more unfortunate is that as soon as the company was sold, the script and European money poured into the American record industry.

Of course, when it comes to bad luck, Marvin Gaye who left was the worst. In 1982, he just signed a sky-high contract with Columbia Records at the time. In 1984, he quarreled with his father at home because of a trivial matter, and he was shot and collapsed by his own father... …

"What should we do?" Song Ya asked for their opinions, "If I have been suppressed like this, the industry will laugh at me, and now some music critics have compared boyzan to my singing skills, there is no chance of winning... "

"You are a hip-hop singer-songwriter, and you are not as normal as they are. No fans will care. It is better to listen to Mr. Motura's opinion on this issue? He is a bigwig in the record industry, and he has the best grasp of this delicate state. .” An employee of the propaganda department suggested.

"Motura was looking at the issue in the interests of Sony Columbia Records."

Song Ya shook her head, "He told me to keep going, but that would exhaust me to death. Immediately, Mariah Carey and I will start filming the official version of the epirestated v, and then the v of the four songs Want Want, Showtheoney, Feelstill, and Wherethe Love. Then there is wherethelove's star co-singing..."

In the second half of the year, Nas, Escouber, and Derry will post one after another, and he will at least have to go to the show. There are still a lot of things on the a clothing side, plus the Bain chemical equipment planned with John Liu With regard to the resale case, he is indeed at his wits' end right now.

"I originally planned to end the high-intensity announcement of beautifulgirls in September, but I haven't made it to the top list until now. It's very, very embarrassing."

Everyone here is his own, and he told the truth: "There is an old saying in Huaguo,

It's a pity to eat it tasteless and discard it, which refers to the current situation. Forget it, don't get entangled, I can do what I should be busy with, v must be filmed, nas and their favors must also be given, so the high-intensity publicity and distribution can no longer be maintained. "

"That's right."

Yeremov agreed, "It's just a top single. Anyway, your record sales are there, and the media won't look at you. You know? Now almost no one will speak ill of you in the media. Your popularity is very high. , everyone is chasing popularity, because of the song wherethelove, even those who don’t listen to your music think that you are a young man with good character. People who praise your program have high ratings, but without evidence, people who scold your program I don’t like to watch it, the so-called exalting the high and depressing the low, the media is naturally making their rational choice.”

"Yes, Spike Lee, who had a confrontation with you last week, said good things about you on the talk show. Even Quincy Jones, when asked about you, only said that you are a young man who does things better. Impulsive, and Wesley Streep, who you beat up at Spielberg's house, didn't say a word, he is now the most rising trend among black Hollywood stars." Hayden echoed.

"Does he dare to say it?" Song Ya curled her lips in disdain. As long as Wesley Streep dared to talk nonsense to the media, Halle Berry would dare to jump out and tear his violent tendencies.

"So change the high-intensity announcement schedule next week?" Taraji asked.

"Well, contact the people at Sony Columbia Records." Song Ya rubbed his brows and ordered.

The publicity staff went out, and the office was swept away, leaving only Yongdao's accountant and Chuck Goodman.

"Your beautifulgirls commercial authorization, and some commercial performance income."

After checking the documents, Song Ya signed the income documents totaling more than 3 million yuan. Many stores like the song "beautiful girls", especially those who specialize in young people. According to Yeremov's survey, this song has become The so-called Bad Street Divine Comedy, that is, when you walk on the street, you will hear the melody of this song from a certain store from time to time. According to the calculations of Sony Columbia Records, the sales volume of this single alone is likely to surpass that of Reberthena, who won the B Gang's four-week crown, that is, more than 5 million copies.

"I happened to meet a monster."

Song Ya muttered, sent Goodman and others out, and walked around in his company by the way.

"How's it going?" Pushing open the door of Deep Sea Recording Studio, Dion Wilson and others were nervously busy recording songs for Fergie.

"all the best."

Dion Wilson took off his earphones, "aps, I think Fergie's new album is still short of a strong single."

"Didn't I say that? Don't think about that strong single, it's mine, just treat it as if that strong single already exists." Song Ya replied.

"Are you ready?" Dion asked.

"No." Song Ya doesn't plan to take London

id out.

"Honey." Fergie saw Song Ya and ran out of the recording studio, "How do you think I handled it just now?"

"Very nice, but..."

but london

The rap skills in id have to be taught to Fergie in advance, she is far more immature than her in the 'future', especially in hip-hop, articulation, breathing, etc., and she has to start making up lessons.

"Well, well..." Fergie nodded her head like a chicken pecking rice, obediently and patiently being taught.

Song Ya knew that her current cuteness was completely opposite to Amy Adams's cuteness. He took Amy Adams with him these days to run publicity campaigns, and it was impossible not to be photographed by the paparazzi. Fergie didn't say anything about the gossip. Ya knew that the shrewd girl in front of her was enduring, and she probably would endure until the first album was released.

"Go ahead."

After coming out of the recording studio, he went to the door of the practice room and stood there to observe.

Amy Adams and the dancers are practicing with the dance coach. Song Ya has watched it for a long time. It is true that this girl has a ballet foundation, and her body movements can be done well, but her expressiveness is very problematic. It feels a bit like dancing into aerobics ...

Although the heroine v of the song wantwant doesn't have many dance moves, she is short on the one hand, and on the other hand she looks too young. For a character who needs to show the ultimate sexy charm, I'm afraid she can't be as I thought before So easy to do.

"It's not enough just to have capital." Song Ya thought of Charlize Theron again, so a girl who is suitable for the role, why just...

"The epirestated script." Taraji approached.

"Has Sony Columbia finally made up its mind?"

Song Ya took over the script, and Motura told Mariah Carey that he was making up his mind about the v of this song.

"So few shots of us together?"

Song Ya flipped through it casually. The director Motura found had many similarities with the original director's ideas. The close-ups of New York's skyscrapers and various crowds accounted for a high proportion in the v, and she and Mariah Carey spent most of their time together Each sang separately, and there was no picture in the same frame until the last paragraph. The core idea is also similar, basically it can be regarded as a promotional film for New York City.

The difference is mainly in three aspects. Because Song Ya changed the lyrics, part of his scenes will be filmed in Chicago. Mariah Carey does not have the original female singer playing the piano on the street, and then does not use black and white pictures at all.

"That's it, tell them I agree."

Song Ya didn't want to reach out and change anything about the project that Motura personally asked about.
