Chapter 920 Thick-Skinned

After participating in David Letterman's show, Song Ya's motorcade drove to the hotel to attract the paparazzi, and he himself asked Old Mike to drive back to Bedford Hills.

The car was stopped outside the side gate of the nearly forty-acre villa, and the security guard said that they would wait for Miss Kelly's order.

"This is the first time since the official divorce." Sandy Glenn had promised before, and I don't know why she changed her mind temporarily, Song Ya looked at the surveillance probe on the iron gate and sighed.

Old Mike didn't answer, and tapped his fingers on the steering wheel boredly.

After waiting for a long time, the iron door finally clicked open.

Old Mike drove the car to the gate of the villa, and the surroundings were very quiet. I don't know if it was a psychological effect. The lights here were dimmer than before. I heard that she hadn't held her favorite party for a long time.

"Please come with me." The female assistant led the way. Except for the addition of some maids, there was no major change in the villa. Of course, the traces of his existence have been completely cleared. At the stairs, Song Ya saw his ex-wife standing on the second floor.

"Should I personally thank you for your generosity?" She was expressionless in her loose nightgown.

"Don't care what those tabloids say, Mimi." Song Ya knew that this was blaming herself for being rumored to have paid more than 50 million breakup fees, "I am willing."

"Hmph." She turned around arrogantly and walked in.

Song Ya went up the stairs and saw that she was already carrying a fruit platter, lying on the sofa and watching the TV series Friends, and there were some magazines and song manuscripts for pregnant women piled up next to her.

"How's it going?" Song Ya asked.

"Life is wonderful without you." She continued to complain.

"It's hard work, isn't it?"

"It's okay."

"What month is the due date?"

"August? Anyway, that's what the doctor said."

"Are you resting well?"

"Especially easy to get sleepy."

"Are you preparing for a new album?" Song Ya pointed to the song draft, looking for something to say.

"Well, Butterfly."

"Butterfly..." should mean breaking out of a cocoon and becoming a butterfly,

Everything starts again, free?

"Then your daydream album Always Be My Baby isn't on the charts?"

"How am I going to hit the rankings like this now?!" The question was wrong, she threw the fruit plate away to reveal a more bulging stomach, "I really envy you men, you don't have to worry about anything after you're done! It's really annoying, do you know who the top list belongs to last week? ?”

"Don't get excited, don't get excited..."

Of course Song Ya knows that it belongs to Celine Dion, who also belongs to Sony Columbia Records. The movie because you loved me has the theme song because you love me. The new album Falling into You that includes this song is a global hit. It has already secured the position of Xinke DIVA What's worse is that the style of this album is still the adult lyric she firmly abandoned.

That means she will face tougher competition within Sony Columbia Records when she returns after giving birth.

"Don't worry, my Earned It will kill her immediately."

Song Ya patted her chest to assure that she was indeed a little bit confident, and the popularity of this song rose very fast because of the eclectic MV that exceeded the level of this era (not counting Madonna).

Although I have also encountered a lot of doubts, because the hip-hop circles on the east and west coasts have been so disgraceful recently, the mainstream media has also begun to assume moral responsibility under the pressure of politicians. I and LL Cool J are hip-hop singers whose songs do not contain violent elements. They are being quietly taken care of. For example, LL Cool J's single Doin It has climbed to the ninth place in the B list last week, while the gangster rap songs that frequently appear in the East and West Coast Big Beef are all ignored.

"Hmph! None of my business!"

It looks pretty good, you can eat and sleep, your personality hasn't changed much, and you don't find any signs of still drinking. The mother and child are safe, and Song Ya is relieved, "Uh... oh, by the way, I brought some supplements." Let the old Mike come up with the reason for his visit, "The bird's nest bought in the Asian supermarket, they said..."

"Leave it alone." She yawned without looking at it, "It's late, I want to rest, you can go."

"oh……"

Song Ya turned around obediently, and suddenly leaned back with a hippie smile and put her ear on her stomach, "Should it move now? Let me listen!"

"Scumbag! Thick-skinned! Die!" He received a severe blow on the head.

The next day, at the Blockbuster flagship store in New York, a large poster with the cover of the 21 album was hung under the Blockbuster store logo with yellow characters on a blue background, and there was a long line of people outside.

"Charles, Hey..."

There was still a while before the music video signing began, Song Ya hid between two rows of tall video tape racks and talked on the phone.

"Hi!"

The girl's surprised voice came from over there, but it immediately turned into a plaintive voice, "I thought you forgot about me..."

"How come, how are you doing recently?" Song Ya asked.

"It's... not bad, but very boring!" Charis replied.

"Then I'm relieved, just bear with it, uh...what did the doctor say?"

"It's all good. I'm healthy, and so is the little baby. He can move, and I can feel it haha. It's just the stomach... it's becoming more and more inconvenient to move."

"Has the doctor confirmed the due date?"

"July! Will you... come?"

There is no problem with time management, "Yes, of course, I will find an opportunity to go to South Africa to do activities at that time, but... it may not be so coincidental that I can accompany you into the delivery room."

"It's okay, I'm very happy that you can come, I know you are very busy..."

"Um."

Why did Charis become so gentle, Song Ya continued: "Uh... there is one more thing, the MV of Earned It has been broadcast in the United States, you are very attractive, and many media have become interested in you... Although The possibility is very small, but during this period of time, pay more attention to suspicious people wandering outside your residence, do not accept any interviews, and your mother..."

"I know, Pai Kingsley has told me that I am with my mother who is seriously ill and don't want to be disturbed."

"Well, that's fine..."

"Did you call specifically for this?"

"No, how come, I mainly care about you... Uh, let's talk about Charis first, the signing will start soon."

"okay, bye……"

"Bye." Song Ya hung up the phone.

"Can I call more often? I want to hear more from you..." Charis was halfway through speaking before she noticed the busy tone on the receiver, and sulked angrily.

Song Ya looked at the environment in this store. It was simply an audio-visual kingdom. Countless video tapes were sorted and stacked on the shelves like books. The scale of Blockbuster, which was bought by Lei Shidong for 8.4 billion, was naturally not small. Its main business is renting and selling movie videos, as well as selling records and other audio-visual peripherals. It even has its own production company, record company, distribution company, theater chain and other messy affiliated enterprises.

Although it suffered a huge loss in the past two years, part of the reason is that its exhibition stores are expanding very fast. Direct sales and franchise stores are dotted all over the Mimi, and they have already gained absolute market advantages, especially in the direction of film and video rental.

VCD players have not been popularized in the United States due to copyright and various reasons. DVD players have not yet appeared on the market, and video tapes are no smaller than books. Street pirates generally need to hide their cartons nearby when they solicit business, which makes them arrested. risk increased.

What about light and thin music CDs? A man of medium build can hide a lot in his coat, concealed, and it is very convenient to run.

At Blockbuster, you can rent a new videotape home for five to seven days for three to four dollars, and old movies for less than two dollars. With various member discounts and point rebates, the actual cost is even lower. Ordinary families can afford it. Americans are very accustomed to this model of renting movies to watch at home, and the number of home video recorders is very high. At a time when the record industry is being overwhelmed by pirated CDs, the movie and video rental industry is currently doing well.

"Hi, APLUS."

"Hello."

"Can you sign me?"

"Okay, where is it?"

"It's on the tape..."

"no problem."

He concentrated on signing the sale. Today, most of them are men. It may be mainly to buy this music video for collection. Asking for an autograph is only incidental. It is more rational for men to chase stars. In addition, those who can buy this video must be adults. good order,

There was only a small episode in the middle. A middle-aged white man with a wretched smile first handed over a videotape of cheating on the moon and asked for his signature. He said 'I'm sorry, I'm only signing autographs for the fans who bought the music video of the 21 album' and beckoned to the security to handle it, but the other party showed the music video as if by magic, so they generously signed it for him.
