The so-called Childs looking for trouble is still nothing, Song Ya's main purpose is actually for the two thieves.
They were accidentally caught by the visiting Justice Department and FBI officers that day, and then Schulhoff compromised. Regardless of whether the two incidents are related or not, the professional thieves who can make Vic McGee return without success must not be in vain Regardless of the employment fee, ordinary people can't even find a way to hire such a person. Motula has a serious suspicion.
But the two will be released from prison soon, and Song Ya will not be reconciled if he doesn't try. This is Chicago, which he claims to be his own territory.
In another correctional prison affiliated with the state government that detains petty criminals, Goodman met the assistant warden inside according to the introduction of the people on Peter's list.
"Don't kill anyone." The other party handed Goodman paper and pen naturally.
"What?" Goodman didn't respond.
"Names, give me the names of your people." The assistant warden said, "I will arrange for them to live in the cells where the target persons are held separately, and then let the prison guards leave for a while, and you will take care of the rest."
"Well, there are no 'our people' in your prison."
Goodman raised his hands, hooked his index finger and middle finger, and returned the pen and paper after making a 'quotation mark' movement, "Can't you help a little more?"
"Sorry about that."
The other party threw the pen and paper back into the drawer very unhappy, "Teach your big star later, that's not how things are done."
Goodman had to come back empty-handed to see Song Ya.
"I'm still too young for this kind of thing." Song Ya sighed after learning that she hadn't succeeded.
"Since you have chosen to stay away from the gang, it is better not to have such a thing as a last resort," Goodman said.
"Um."
Song Ya nodded, he had no choice but to let the two thieves go.
On November 2nd, he went to Miami. Mariah Carey's first large-scale concert in her life began. More than 15,000 spectators poured into the Miami Arena, which almost reached the indoor level. The upper limit that the stadium can bear, here is also the home court of the NBA team Miami Heat and the NHL (Ice Hockey League) team Miami Panthers.
According to the design of Sony Columbia Records and Performance Agency, Mariah Carey's music box tour should focus all the attention on her alone, so Song Ya did not perform guest performance tasks, nor did she appear in the audience, but sat on the stage. Into the VIP box.
He didn't go to the box next door to Daniel, Newman and other company executives, but found a few guests to chat and watch.
"Miss Kelly's charisma is amazing!"
A male rapper who is also of Chinese-African descent, but his face is more Chinese than his, praised: "The next step is to try to hold a concert in an outdoor stadium with tens of thousands of people?"
"Thank you for your kind words." Song Ya replied in Chinese.
"What?"
"I said thank you for your compliment." Song Ya said it again in English.
"I can speak a little Cantonese." The other party replied.
"Thunder roar!"
"Thunder Roar..."
"..."
The conversation could not continue, and the two switched back to English communication. The stage name of the man in front of him was Wongwon in Chinese, so he should be called Huang Yuan or Wang Yuan. He is a descendant of an old laborer in Datobago and moved to the United States with his family in the 1970s.
The rap group he belongs to, 2LiveCrew, is the originator of erotic rap in the south. They made their debut very early and were not well-known at the beginning. His yellow accent and satirical remarks on society are outstanding. In 1990, he was even prosecuted by the local prosecutors in Miami because of this, and he was almost imprisoned.
Of course, this guy is not good at himself, and he is considered the number one figure in the local Chinese gang.
So Song Ya knew that he was of Chinese descent, and he was very close to him.
But it is because of his gang background that he has not established contact for a long time. This time I solemnly asked him to meet, mainly because last time Su Ge Knight came here to organize the Miami meeting and tried to confront his own Chicago meeting, because of his words and deeds. , but had a very unpleasant fight with the local record company and the singer, and was almost kicked out of Miami. Huang Yuan, let’s call him that, was also one of them at that time.
If the new alliance organized by Su Ge Knight, Puff Daddy and others is not against him, the people in Miami should be the ones to fight for. The third Chicago meeting at the end of the year should be organized again. Song Ya doesn't mind taking the initiative to show favor , to draw them over.
"YO, APLUS, when will you release another song?" His companion asked.
"Next year, my movie will be released next year, and the whole soundtrack will be created by me." Song Ya replied.
"Are you relatives?"
"this……"
"Should we have something to do with it?" Huang Yuan put his arms around his shoulders socially, "Even if my cousin is fine, let me tell you, in Miami from now on, I will cover everyone in APLUS!"
At this time, the music in the gymnasium sounded, and Mariah Carey stepped onto the stage. She used an old song They Call the Wind Maria as the opening prelude. Her name Mariah is derived from this song, which is of great significance.
After listening to a few songs, Song Ya frowned. The lighting and sound effects of the scene were a bit behind. The theater configuration in front of more than 10,000 people did not stir up the atmosphere at all.
DIVA of her Vocal type (a singer known for her voice talent and singing skills) can't dance, and her stage effect is not to mention compared with MJ. Madonna, Janet Jackson and even the outdated Paula Abdul in the same period are all Singing and dancing experts, the visual effects are very good.
Different from the needs of the audience in the theater, the audience who come to this kind of large-scale concert is basically to join in the fun, and she can't meet everyone's needs like this.
Moreover, more than 10,000 people couldn't all listen to the whole concert quietly, and the disturbing buzzing noise affected her on the stage. She had the old problem of stage fright when facing too many people. Now it's all right, the more disturbed I am, the worse I can sing, and even my subsequent performances start to be inaccurate.
"There is a new rap style in the south now, called Trap, have you studied APLUS?"
Huang Yuan gradually became bored, and he began to ramble.
"Of course, I like it very much."
Song Ya replied that some apocalyptic songs he plans to put in the second college, such as WhateverYouLike, have a very strong Trap style, which can be said to be a new style of Trap that combines other rap styles and R&B in the future. "I have also done some research. , intending to incorporate it into future songs.”
I just took advantage of the mouths of these southern rappers in front of me to give an inoculation to the outside world in advance.
"Wow, young people are just quick learners."
Huang Yuan sighed.
"What about you? Do you plan to change the style of the next album?" Song Ya asked him.
"Us?" He and his teammate exchanged glances, "Let's just forget about it. To be honest, it's hard for us to change when we're older."
That is, it will not change, and it is true that the audience of erotic rap is very narrow, and it is harder to appear in the mainstream sight than gangsta rap, but they have a good position in the small circle, and it is not so easy to give up the basic market.
"Well then, I'll wait for you in Chicago at the end of the year, and there will be many friends from the East Coast, West Coast, and Atlanta."
This very unsuccessful concert came to an end. Song Ya could see the obvious loss on Mariah Carey's face when she left the venue. She was a little distressed and eager to go backstage to comfort her.
"Hey! We have a party for you tonight!"
Seeing that he wanted to slip away, Huang Yuan hurriedly stopped him.
"I won't go." Song Ya waved his hand, "I want to accompany Mimi."
"Don't disappoint APLUS, like this, you go to accompany your girlfriend first, we will be waiting for you all night, you must come!" Huang Yuan shouted to his back.
"I will, don't worry."
People in this kind of society are afraid of losing face, and Huang Yuan is the key figure in his relationship with the Miami rap circle. Since he wants to win over the other party, he must not even give this bit of face, otherwise he may end up not much better than Su Ge Knight. .
After being delayed for a while, when Song Ya walked into her dressing room, she happened to see her losing her temper with Daniel and the people from the show agency.
"The acoustics are terrible, you shouldn't have thrown me in such a crappy place and ignored me!"
Stylists, makeup artists, assistants and others were surrounding her doing finishing work after the performance. She threw the hair stick in her hand to the dressing table, "I'm so mad! If the next few scenes are like this, I will... I They are about to fire people!"
"It seems that the next big concert must learn from this lesson. The stage design, choreography, sound, and lighting must be comprehensively strengthened..."
Daniel had to transfer the fire to the people in the acting agency.
"There are only a few shows planned this year, and the remaining five venues are similar to the situation here. In such a short time, we can hardly change anything." The people from the performing arts agency said honestly.
"Oh my God!" she wailed.
"In this way, let's sell less tickets, don't want to be on a scale like today, and give up some stands..."
Daniel could only make up for it, "Change the scene to the theater mode that Miss Kelly is most comfortable with."
"But the meaning is different. If Miss Kelly can take this step steadily, the future outdoor large-scale global tour..."
The people in the performing arts agency were very reluctant.
"Go ahead, it's my decision." Daniel waved his hand impatiently, he saw Song Ya who had just entered the door, "Let's go out and talk about it."
The boyfriend came, and the assistant and others quickly finished the work in hand, and then retreated with Daniel and others.
"Honey!" she cried, "my concert was a failure, wasn't it?"
"No la……"
In fact, Song Ya only met Newman in the corridor. He took the random questionnaire survey that the audience participated in when they left the venue, and the evaluation was indeed not very good. Philby, who came with Newman, also said that he could not give a positive evaluation in the magazine.
She sniffed, "Pour me a glass of wine."
"Stop drinking, you sang so hard just now, let your voice rest." Song Ya stopped.
"I'm in a bad mood right now!" she cried.
"Okay, okay, just half a glass." Song Ya poured her half a glass of champagne, and coaxed her, taking advantage of her better mood, persuaded: "Daniel is the president of the company, you can't be in front of outsiders Talk to him like this, save him some face."
"I've always been like that," she said.
"It was Motura at that time..." Song Ya said.
"If it were Tommy, maybe this concert wouldn't be like this!" She blurted out, and after seeing Song Ya's face, she immediately realized that she had said something wrong, and quickly changed to pitiful little eyes.
"On the contrary, these were all planned by Motura before, and neither Daniel nor Newman had time to make changes." Song Ya knew that she was very persistent and assertive about her music career, so she didn't get angry, Wen Yan explained.
"Ha, I said so!"
She shook the dark evening dress on her body, "You still manage me in the same old Motura way, styling, character design, music style, media image, etc.! No, even eating and drinking are better than before. Not free yet!"
"That's what I let them care about you. Believe me, I'm doing it for your own good." Song Ya frowned, "Be obedient."
"Sometimes I feel like you are an enhanced version of Motura!" She shouted again, "Be obedient, be obedient! Even the tone of voice is exactly the same!"
