Chapter 74 First Show
In the last few days of 1990, Song Ya was so busy flying back and forth in the South Pacific, meeting in New York, having a party in Chicago, watching the hype of the football game, and after getting the fourth Apocalypse song, he locked himself in the Hilton suite again, concentrating on Changed the lyrics.
This rap song due to Jordan is full of various names, some are the singer's band and singer names, such as Fort Minor (Dark Fortress), Mike shinoda (Mike Xintian), Tak, RYU, etc., some are Unknown origins, such as S.DOT, such as the Crystal Method band, such as some unheard song titles.
Song Ya intends to apply these names to the people around her. The lead singer Mike Xintian naturally replaced it with his own APLUS. Coincidentally, from the appearance and name of Mike Xintian, it seems that he is also of mixed Asian descent. Of course, Song Ya thinks he is better than him. much handsomer.
For the part of the white singer RYU, Song Ya is going to ask De Lai to sing. This guy lost his girlfriend who has shared joys and sorrows for many years because of the party he held. , just to give him some sweetness to encourage him.
The part of the black singer Tak naturally belongs to Al. This loyal follower is not like De Lai who can get an A+ audio position salary. At present, he only lives on the cash that Song Ya occasionally throws at him. They paid off.
Other parts of the lyrics also need to be revised. He is thinking about it. It is best to hook up with Jordan. After all, he is the key person to get the apocalypse.
"APLUS! Watch the recording of yesterday's game?" Al knocked on the door outside.
"Of course." He temporarily stopped writing and walked into the living room of the suite.
Hayden and Columbia Records' head of publicity were there, along with Tony and Muffler, while Delay was leaning against the window sill, staring blankly into the distance.
"Hey! DeLay! Come on, I've got to play across from Old Joe Records tonight, you gotta pull yourself together and don't screw me up!"
Song Ya hurriedly urged him.
"Oh." He didn't move.
Song Ya can only throw out the reward first, "I watched the game yesterday and conceived a rap song. I plan to sing it together and put it in my first album. If you do this again, you will lose your share." .”
This time Delay moved, and he turned to look over.
"My good brother, do you have my share?" Tony rushed over.
"How about appearing in the MV for you?" Song Ya pushed him away, and glanced at Al, who was looking pitifully at her, "It's Al's share, just the three of us."
"Thank you...cough, thank you, APLUS." Al choked up.
"You deserve it, Al." Tony put his arms around him, "I know, you should have been famous with little Lowry, we owe you."
"Yeah!" Muffler agreed.
"I don't owe him anything!" Song Ya complained in her heart.
"Al, you should also find an agent, the chorus will involve some money matters." He said to Al.
"I'll just listen to you." Al was still so straightforward.
This time it was Hayden's turn to look over eagerly. Song Yazhuang didn't see it. After the New Year, the contract with Hayden was only three months away. He didn't plan to show mercy when the time came for the contract renewal negotiations. Hayden Since I took Mira's line, the service has become less and less good, and the ass is often not on my side.
"Well, it's not in a hurry now, we'll talk about it later." Song Ya put the matter aside first, and concentrated on watching the replay of yesterday's game.
Both Tony and the "Muffler" tacitly did not ask for a song for Little Lowry. They also knew that the relationship between Song Ya and each other was not very good. As Little Lowry's follower and Song Ya's brother, they had no choice but to choose not to intervene.
"I saw you!" Tony yelled.
Not long after the opening,
The camera panned to Song Ya, who was still wearing the usual cool collocation of jacket, T-shirt and jeans, but there was an extra bull black and red hat on his head.
"You're so photogenic my brother!" Tony couldn't stop talking.
"Hehe, it's a bit like a mixture of Denzel Washington and John Lone." The publicity director of Columbia Records said.
"Who is Zunlong?" Denzel Washington Songya knew, but he really didn't know who Zunlong was.
"The protagonist of The Last Emperor won nine awards including best picture and best director at the 60th Oscar in 1988."
"Wow……"
Song Ya complained about the 'muffler', "Why don't you rent this kind of movie? Always show me the plumber."
'Muffler' didn't reply, just smiled very obscenely.
When the game officially started and the screen cut to the direction of the broadcast station, Song Ya had no chance to show his face. The person in charge of publicity fast-forwarded the video tape. It was not until the intermission that Song Ya appeared on the TV screen again.
The two hosts of NBC (National Broadcasting Corporation of the United States) were talking about the gossip of the celebrity audience in the VIP seats on the sidelines. They recognized each of them and came to Song Ya, "Who is this boy? Do you know him?" "I don't know him." Simple The two sentences of the dialogue have passed.
The person in charge of publicity turned off the video recorder, "That's all the achievements of our public relations. At least some people will be interested in you."
"Fine."
Song Ya felt that Columbia Records had done their best. You must know that this was the first year that NBC had just taken away the broadcasting rights from CBS (CBS).
At six o'clock in the afternoon, on MTV, the MV of "I feel it coming" began to air.
After watching the four-minute MV, "Is this the girl you brought to the party that day? It's so hot!" Tony slapped his forehead, "Is she also the girl in the New York hotel last time?"
Both the person in charge of the publicity and Hayden focused their attention on Song Ya.
"Sometimes, I really want to tear your mouth apart, Tony." Song Ya said through gritted teeth.
But today I can't do it without Tony. For the first live concert in an underground nightclub, Song Ya can't hold the venue by relying on Delay and Al.
At nine o'clock, everyone drove to Old Qiao Music, but Hayden and the person in charge of publicity didn't let them follow.
Karl was still guarding the door, but this time, his fierce face showed some embarrassment, "It's not convenient today, there's a quarrel at the higher levels." He said standing inside the door.
"Who's arguing with whom?" Tony asked.
Everyone heard the rap accent unique to black women, and the voice came down from the upstairs, and words such as roll, pour voice, and drug use could be heard clearly.
"1, 2, 3, 4..." Carl snapped the fingers of his left hand.
"1, 2, 3..." Then he retracted a finger, "1." The right hand stretched out a finger.
It seems that the four aunts had internal strife, and Song Ya always slipped away when encountering 'drugs', "Then we won't go up, Tony, just go to the underground nightclub." He bumped his fist at Carl: "Take me to Greetings from Old Joe."
Carl nodded and closed the door.
Everyone walked around to the back door of the underground nightclub opposite, where Big A was smoking a cigarette and bragging with someone at the door.
"Why did you come so early?" He led Song Ya in, "I planned to have your turn at ten o'clock, APLUS."
"It's okay, are you safe today?"
Song Ya walked into this nightclub for the first time. The inside was broken, with mottled walls, random graffiti, dim lighting, and even no professional dance floor. It was just an ordinary basement structure, with a small stage in the middle of the front, and other In the space where the crowd gathers, there are still several load-bearing pillars stuck, causing the stage to not even be seen from certain angles behind the pillars. The ratio of men to women in the venue is seriously skewed, and the vast majority are young black men.
This kind of club is actually not a nightclub, but an old-style dance hall, because it is impossible to get a license from the city government to sell alcohol, but in this lawless place in Nancheng, no one will follow the government's regulations. Song Ya noticed that many people have Not to mention the beer in a paper cup, not to mention the smell of leaves, and the one who blatantly took out colorful small 'sugar pills' from his arms and licked them into his mouth.
But this time Song Ya couldn't slip away.
"There's no such thing as unsafe here." Big A said, pointing to the load-bearing pillar closest to the stage, "Did you see that pillar? Don't mess with those who lean on it, that's the only rule here."
Song Ya took a closer look and saw Kenneth, the hell bobtail boss, lazily leaning against the pillar. Indeed, it had the best view of the stage and was closest to the back door, but it happened to be in the blind spot when viewed from the front door. It can be said that both advance and retreat are suitable.
"YO! APLUS!"
The boss also saw Song Ya, and he waved, so Song Ya had to go over.
The boss pulled him into his arms and patted his back, "Son, thank you for helping Lao Qiao make money from music, and you didn't forget this place after you became famous."
"Of course, I'm from Nancheng." Song Ya quickly expressed his loyalty.
"Go ahead and show off on stage."
The big guy is the big guy, and he had no grievances about Song Ya's refusal of Lao Qiao's solicitation last time, pointing to the stage.
Tony took Delay and they have moved the equipment in and set it up.
Big A jumped onto the stage, picked up the microphone, and said, "Everybody!" The rough voice of the host of the boxing match was imitated by him.
After attracting the attention of the people in the venue, "Second-hand store!" He raised a hand, making GD's gang gesture.
The crowd responded with the sound of 'HO', and the atmosphere of the venue became lively.
"To De Klerk!"
'HOOOOOO!' was shouted again.
"The songwriter!"
'HOOOOOOO! '
"APLUS!" The big A pointed at Song Ya, and Song Ya jumped onto the stage.
"Bring us a song I feel it coming!"
'HOOOOOOOOOOO! '
Song Ya took the microphone from him and sang in front of the crowd for the first time. His heart was pounding. Looking at the NGers below, he was much more nervous than the last time he gave a speech in school. And I've been too busy recently, but I really haven't sat down and fully prepared. When I think about this, I get even more nervous.
"Don't be nervous, I'll play the version with pads (some passages in the accompaniment are original voices, usually those lines that are difficult to sing)." Delay leaned closer to his ear and said from behind.
"OK." Song Ya nodded at him.
Delay went back, adjusted with Al a little, and the prelude sounded.
Song Ya's body swayed slightly with the singing, controlling herself to enter the state, "Tell me what you really like, Baby I can take my time..."
The four-minute song was sung quickly, and he was swaying his body throughout the whole process, without any interaction with the audience.
Fortunately, everyone is very face-saving, the boss took the lead, and everyone applauded.
Of course, with this style of songs, don't expect the atmosphere in the audience to be so exciting.
Suddenly, a young black man climbed up from the stage and got a microphone out of nowhere, "YO! APLUS! You bitch! What kind of music are you singing! I..."
As soon as Song Ya heard his rapping voice, Song Ya knew that he was going to be challenged by the stunned Qingpengci. Fortunately, he was prepared, and he would not be almost cried on stage like little Lowry.
Tony jumped up, hugged the man by the waist, and tore him off the stage.
"You messed with my brother!? Huh?"
The iron fists of him and the two ex-rugby players in "Muffler" rained down, "I told you to disturb my brother's field, you disturbed my brother's field."
The crowd below moved away from a large circle to watch the excitement, all of them were overjoyed, the two beat and scolded, it was a fat beating, the boss even went into battle and kicked twice himself.
"call……"
Song Ya let out a long sigh of relief, turned around and met Di Lai and Al's eyes, this debut... is considered a success...
Bar?
