Chapter 49
At the Chicago Music Festival a few days later, Mira rose to fame almost hourly. The moment she entered Grant Park, the reporters who had been waiting for a long time swarmed up, and the photographers kept flashing their guns and short cannons. None of the propagandists accompanying SBK expected that Song Ya and Al hurriedly acted as guest bodyguards, carrying the crowd from left to right.
"Meera! Meera! What do you think of the South African Diplomatic Service's protest?"
"Mira! Do you have time for an interview? I'm a reporter for the Chicago... newspaper!"
"I heard that white supremacists sent you death threats. Is that true, Meera?"
"Mira! Stop and say something!"
"Mira, look this way!"
"Mira! What is your opinion on the current situation in the Middle East?"
"Meter……"
Escorting Mira into the backstage, Song Ya rubbed his sore shoulders, "The situation in the Middle East, what the hell..." The two looked at each other helplessly and smiled.
Not long after, a representative of the distribution department of Columbia Pictures came to visit. He first had a long private talk with Mrs. Jovovich, and then recruited SBK's publicists to find Song Ya.
"APLUS, your relationship will not be made public, right?" he asked Song Ya.
"Yes." Song Ya gave an affirmative answer. I had communicated with Daniel on this point before. There is no benefit for teenage idols in this era to open their relationship, which is the case all over the world.
He also asked, "Is it convenient to sign a non-disclosure agreement? At least before returning to Blue Coral Reef, because of Mira, Columbia Pictures decided to increase the promotional expenses of this film. We must ensure that there will be no accidents."
"You talk to my agent, I agree in principle."
Song Ya called Hayden.
When Hayden came, he also brought an executive from the William Morris agency, who also came to find Mrs. Jovovich, and they wanted to win Mira's agency contract.
"Mrs. Jovovich, if things go on like this, you alone won't be able to deal with Mira's brokerage affairs. We William Morris has a long history, and in terms of professionalism..." The executive began to fool around.
"Let me hear your conditions. I also received a call from CAA (Creative Elite Cultural Agency) just now." Mrs. Jovovich proudly reported the name of another top agency in the whole meter.
"Of course, let's talk alone."
Watching the two walk away, Hayden said to Song Ya with regret: "I'll just do it first, and now... oh! Why didn't I think of it earlier!"
Song Ya smiled, is it CAA? It seems that when negotiating the next contract with Hayden, it is necessary to learn from Mrs. Jovovich's trick.
"Hey, APLUS, do you have time? Let's talk." At this time, DeLay came over.
The two found a clean place, and Di Lai was straightforward, "A+, why don't you have my share? I came up with the idea, and I also contributed. I thought you would take me with you."
"Is such that."
In fact, when Song Ya started this company, he thought about giving Di Lai a position, and it was not impossible to even sell some shares, but Song Asheng stopped him later, "My accountant suggested that I use this company to avoid taxes reasonably, so...you I understand, it’s not convenient for other shareholders to exist. And I haven’t made any big plans for this company yet, and there are not many new synthesized sounds that I plan to make. Only this recording of “To De Klerk”, two SBK only paid less than 1,000 knives for Yin’s authorization fee, which is not enough for my company’s registration cost, should I let you join and lose money together?”
Dilai thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, I agree with your explanation, sorry, APLUS, I'm a straightforward person, I just say whatever comes to mind. I'm just a little confused about the future, you know, Mira is about to be popular Now, and this song has no status of our band members, it is yours, it is Mira's, not ours, we are just accompaniment paid according to the number of performances,
SBK can replace whoever it wants. "
Song Ya understood his distress, smiled and stretched out his fist, "It's okay, I like your character, rock and roll youth, right? Haha, Dilai, someday you don't want to do it, come to me anytime."
Di Lai smiled embarrassedly and gave a fist bump, "Thanks, APLUS."
"Mila, get ready! There are still fifteen minutes!" The staff of the music festival came in to inform, and Dele and the others hurriedly started to make preparations before the performance.
As soon as Mira went out from the backstage, Song Ya heard the cheers like a tsunami outside.
"Alex, thank you!"
Today, Mrs. Jovovich's pager rang non-stop. She was very excited after a phone call, and her address to Song Ya became a nickname, "The song you gave to Mira saved us and me Husband, just now the bank suddenly agreed to continue lending to his company."
Song Ya frowned greatly, "My song is for Mrs. Jovovich of Milla, you can no longer use her money unrestrainedly."
"I know, Mira's father just had bad luck..."
Mrs. Jovovich's pager rang again.
"When Mira is eighteen years old, I have to persuade her to get rid of these greedy parents." Song Ya secretly planned in her heart.
Every day in the music festival, Mira received a warmer welcome than the previous day. On the fourth and last day, her momentum even overwhelmed all the rock bands present. But mostly rock fans. Whenever she sang Hua Q, the audience's echoes were already neat as if they had been trained. In order to please the audience, the organizers begged her to perform again.
The increasingly distant fashion and advertising circles seemed to remember such a person in an instant. Mrs. Jovovich received constant invitations. On the third morning, the pager in her hand disappeared and was replaced by a Motorola brick. .
SBK's publicists were also very excited. All the remaining promotional itineraries were cancelled. The invitations from all over the city alone gave them plenty of choice, which means that all follow-up activities will be charged, and the asking price is not cheap.
"I'm exhausted!"
After Mira sang the encore, she went backstage, pouted and complained, "There is an idiot who calls me flower Q in the front row every day, can the police arrest him?"
"Honey!" Mrs. Jovovich rushed to hug her, jumping up and down like a little girl, and shouted: "Do you know who I just got a call from? Anna Wintour! VOGUE (famous fashion Magazine) Editor-in-Chief!"
After sending them on the plane, Song Ya returned to his new home alone.
When he opened the door, subscriptions to Billboard and Rolling Stone magazines were neatly placed beside the small basket where the keys were placed. He picked up the Billboard magazine, turned on the newly bought Sony TV, and then put himself on the comfortable leather sofa.
'Trinitron' technology makes this TV very colorful, and it's playing the national sitcom: Growing Pains.
Song Ya had no interest in the TV dramas of this era, so he turned on the TV, turned to the singles list, and glanced roughly.
The second-hand store has not yet fallen out of the top 50, and is currently at 44. I heard that the studio version of Old Joe and Little Lowry has been recorded in SBK and will be released next week to save the market.
To de Klerk, who jumped from seventeen to third in a week, behind 'SNAP!''s The Power.
And the first place is Mariah Carey's of love.
"Boring..."
Song Ya suddenly felt that he had lost his goal, and lazily walked back to his room, sat down at the desk and opened a calculus exercise book, and soon, the fun of doing the exercises made him involuntarily addicted to it, fascinated .
