Chapter 758 CD Cover
"Hey! APLUS, how's it going? How's it going? Have you seen the music video?"
Just after filming this group of shots, the girls’ boss, Matthew Norris, appeared again at the right time. His life experience is similar to that of Mariah Carey’s father, and he is considered a highly educated black elite. An aerospace engineer who also used to work in Houston for Xerox's medical-device division, Beyoncé turned her attention to the record business and artist management when she was cast on a local children's TV show at age eight.
The difference between the two is that Mariah Carey's father is basically indifferent to his children, while he is the opposite, staring at him all the time, firmly controlling the basic necessities of life of Beyoncé and other girls, and the girls want to do everything. After his nod in agreement.
The desire to control is a bit strong, but it is very good for a black father to be able to do so. Song Ya has a good impression of this middle-aged black man wearing glasses, but...
Just a little good at drilling, Song Ya saw his cousin Emily behind him.
This guy found an opportunity to fool Emily, a sixteen-year-old girl, at a party at Bedford Heights. Emily liked to sing, but he persuaded her to think about debuting.
"I've seen it. It's great. I like Beyoncé's cover of Mimi's Hero."
Song Ya knew what he was paying attention to. Destiny's Child lost their source of income after being terminated by Erica Records. The income of the MV heroine could not solve this imminent problem. What is urgently needed now is to get a contract with a new record company. He probably also knew that A+ Records had little interest in signing Destiny's Child, so he wanted to use his family's detour to lure Emily into the group first, so how could he not sign?
"Emily, why are you here?" Song Ya asked.
"I'm here to visit."
Emily is now a real princess. She was only ten years old when she time-traveled. Afterwards, as she quickly became famous, she basically lived the life of a typical rich girl and celebrity relatives throughout her adolescence. She was well protected and educated. It's okay, I don't know what sadness is, "Beyoncé, Kelly, hey..." She greeted the girls two years younger than her in a friendly way.
Emily's singing talent can only be regarded as good among ordinary people, and her body shape has developed in the direction of Aunt Susie's bucket early on. There is a big gap between her personal image and the four Destiny's Child.
"Matthew..."
Song Ya gave Matthew Norris a warning look, "Maybe you don't know, I don't like my family members to be targeted."
"No, you misunderstood, I just... think Emily's talent is really good, so I said a few more words."
Matthew Norris hurriedly said, "If you mind..."
"I mind." Song Ya said, "Emily is going to college."
"I'm not good at studying, Alex." Emily pouted and said, "I like singing more, maybe I can spend some time with Beyoncé and the others, at least this summer vacation. Okay?"
"Well……"
Song Ya scratched her head in embarrassment: "Does Aunt Susie know? Where's Connie?"
"Mommy is very supportive, Connie...she's all about changing boyfriends," Emily replied.
"Huh? Where's the dancer?"
"It's already your ex, okay? You were replaced at your wedding last time, and you have become less and less concerned about your family in the past two years."
"I'm busy...Linda."
Song Ya felt a little sorry, and when she saw Linda appearing at the door, she quickly beckoned her to the villa for a private chat, "Emily wants to stay with Beyoncé and the others for a while, what do you think?"
"Okay, Matthew Norris is very strict with the girls," Linda replied.
"The president of Universal Music said he likes to mess with women,
And that guy is using Emily. "Song Ya expressed her worries.
"He's not the kind of nger who preys on minors. As for using...he's a bit desperate now, and Emily's own wishes are the most important thing. He just followed Emily's words. He and my husband used to be Yes, my husband knows him. And..."
Linda reminded: "I just came back from DefJam Records. President Lyle Cohen responded very quickly. People from Polygram have already negotiated with Daniel in private. If the deal is negotiated...you know that little girl FoxyBrown is helping us There is a lot of trouble inside DefJam, and when you leave the stage, she will definitely be retaliated by DefJam from top to bottom, freezing is light, no matter what the reason is, we can't treat her badly."
"you mean……"
"The previous lineup of Destiny's Child was six people." Linda looked at the four girls who were chatting and laughing with Emily next to Lincoln.
"Sign?" Song Ya understood her intention.
"Those girls are very good at singing, Beyoncé is also good, she can play the C position, Emily can mix with them, and Foxy Brown is in charge of the rap part, which is also the mainstream configuration of black girl groups, just like TLC. "
Linda didn't answer directly, but her tendency was clearly expressed, and she already had a rough plan.
"But TLC has too many follow-up combinations, and the market is already saturated." Song Ya said.
"Comeon! APLUS, A+ records can support a girl group that doesn't make money." Linda smiled helplessly.
"But then Emily will debut, and I don't really want my family to enter the entertainment industry." Song Ya was mainly entangled in this.
Linda warned: "You have to be more careful, Emily is in a rebellious period, and if you control too much, it will be counterproductive."
"Okay, okay, just follow your plan, go talk to Matthew. Then... let your husband be Emily's manager, and be more on guard against Matthew."
Song Ya thought for a while and nodded in agreement, "Are you here for anything else?"
"Sony Columbia Records has finished the first draft of the cover for your new album 21."
Linda took out a cover design draft from her bag, with black and gold as the main colors, her upper body photo took up more than half of the page, inside it she was facing the camera at a 45-degree angle, wearing an A+ T-shirt, holding a Holding a stack of green rice knives, holding a bottle of Gray Goose vodka in one hand, bowing his head and twisting his body with a smile on his face, gold chains, gold watches and gold rings are all available, full of flamboyant temperament.
"The ultimate hedonistic theme you asked for," Linda said.
"not bad."
Gray Goose Vodka hasn't been produced yet, but the bottle has already been finished. The bottle in the photo is filled with water, which is colorless and transparent like vodka anyway. This meaning just corresponds to the album name 21, because young people in the United States are not allowed to buy and drink alcoholic beverages until they are 21 years old. When the album was released, I just passed my 21st birthday.
"Is the intention to bring the goods a bit obvious?" Linda asked.
"It's only natural for hip-hop singers to bring goods, and they don't need to be as secretive as other music circles."
Song Ya looked at it carefully again, and the more she looked, the more she was satisfied, "I have expressed all the things I want to express, very good, let Sony Columbia Records use this cover."
My money is piled up, the bullet cup is filled with ice, and the MV filming continues. Song Ya doesn't need to show any affectionate expressions to Kelly Rowland. Rich people are so straightforward and rough when they pick up girls. Slightly raising her head, she looked at the girl in front of her who had no intentions and was completely stunned by the extravagant life and luxurious gifts with a bit of overlooking feeling showing off and complacency.
Girls love the one-hundred-dollar tip he handed over at the fast food restaurant, love the phone number he left quietly, love being taken to a luxury jewelry store by him and being surrounded by all the shop assistants, love being visited by a jeweler who specializes in serving celebrities Send any custom diamond necklace you choose, love a private jet that can go to another city just to watch a musical, love a luxury car gift, love a swimming pool with a fountain, love a big villa with an invincible sea view, love being in the Enjoying a candlelight dinner served by an English waiter on a long antique table, I love this man who is far away from the table, the sudden life is like a dream, and she is trapped in the sudden and incomparable dreamy paradise, Thought it would be permanent.
Men, on the other hand, look at all this indifferently and with experience, I can give you whatever you want, I can give you whatever you want, money is not a problem, no matter how expensive a gift is, it is just something that slips through the fingers. A little bit, but sooner or later he will get tired of the woman in front of him, maybe tomorrow.
Kelly Rowland didn't need to act, she suddenly changed from an unknown little singer who was terminated to the heroine in the superstar MV, she was in perfect condition.
He doesn't have to...
"Hello, Amy, are you still in Europe? The media isn't criticizing you anymore, is it? Back with Fergie? In New York? What a coincidence... Maybe we can get together? Tomorrow? "
