Chile was on a tour, and in order to provide the best logistics for the three major events: Mexico, many of the large stage equipment would be shipped directly from Buenos Aires to Mexico City.

Santiago, Chile will be a concert with a reduced stage effect.

"Shakira, it's time for us to go."

When Song Ya and the touring team were about to travel to San Diego together, Estéphine also came to pick them up.

The guest singer doesn't have to follow the tour the whole way, just come back to participate in the rehearsal the day before the Chilean concert, "You ......" When he saw Shakira sweetly wrapping her arms around Song Ya's neck and resting her legs on the other party's thighs, he sighed silently, "You have a commercial show nearby in the middle of the week." ”

"Can you push it off for me? Mr. Steffen. ”

Sure enough, Shakira refused without hesitation, "I like the atmosphere of the APLUS tour team, I want to play here for a while, okay?" Please. ”

"You insist?"

"I insist."

"Okay, then I'll go on something else......"

Estéphine instructed Song Ya, "Take care of her, I'll go over on the day of my Chilean concert." ”

"Don't worry, oh yes, I have something to talk to you about that day." Song Ya smiled and raised her hand to apologize, signaling that she was so entangled by the girl that she couldn't stand up and shake hands to say goodbye.

"Does it matter?"

"It's important."

"Then I'll advance my trip by a day."

las cartas que escribi

Those letters I wrote,

nunca las envie

But it was never sent.

no querras saber de mi

You won't want to know how I'm doing.

no puedo entender

You can't imagine,

lo tonta que fui

How stupid I am.

Estephine showed up at the Chilean National Stadium in Santiago City that day, Shakira was rehearsing on stage, and the girl sat in a high chair and sang her title song, Estoy Aquí, with a carefree look on her face.

He didn't bother, and went directly to the backstage to find Song Ya.

At the same time, at Sony's North Mi headquarters in New York, Motura sat at Howard Stringer's president's desk again, but this time the opponent changed from Daniel, who was still short of fire, to the old fox John Cali, and there were a few more high-level book executives next to him.

"Hip-hop, R&B, Pop-Punk and Latin-inspired dance music with electronic elements......"

John Carley is holding a small notebook and repeating it: "Overall, I think the trend in the next few years is going to be fusion music, a little bit of everything, like ......"

"Like the APLUS set?" Motura interrupted him with a smirk.

"No one can deny that he's a genius." John Cali countered, "It's just a pity...... He's not going to renew his contract with us. ”

"He's an immature wolf, and he's always working against us, he's investing in VCD factories in Huaguo, increasing his stake in DTS companies in the former SD camp, and I've heard that the 3DFX company he invested in is talking to Sega about the next generation of game console display chip cooperation?"

Motura was aggressive, "He even encouraged the black caucus in the House of Representatives to take up the weapon of trade war and raise taxes on our micromotors, CD motors, laser heads!" ”

"I'm not going to say who he did it for." John Cali took off his reading glasses and said coldly.

"You've reversed John's logic, and he's targeting me because only I can suppress him and stop him from doing anything wrong, so he's afraid I'll have to knock me down! Replace someone else, I'm afraid that he has now hollowed out Sony Columbia Records! Think of all the he's done with Daniel! ”

Motura poked John Cali in the chest with her index finger, "What he did at Sony Columbia Records, is being replicated at your Columbia Pictures, first interfering with the selection of the hostess of the project that has nothing to do with him, and then using the sausage cutting tactic to get inch by step, John, two years...... It only takes two years before you suddenly find that he already thinks you're in the way and wants to get rid of you, remember this prophecy of mine. ”

"Sounds like that."

John Cali smiled instead, "If I don't know that Jennifer Lopez, the heroine of the Anaconda disaster, has an ambiguous relationship with you, and not long ago I can still get the heroine of the Anaconda disaster after messing up the big production money train with another of yours, Wesley Sneps, maybe I will agree with you." It's not a Hollywood way Tommy, at least not in the company I manage......"

"Uh...... Ahem. ”

Howard Stringer glanced at the book executive next to him and stopped the two Mi people from exposing each other in front of them, "I just want to talk about music casually in today's meeting...... Tommy, what do you think? Let's talk about it too. ”

"I said earlier, Latin Storm."

Motura complained to Howard Stringer first, "The Latin single Macarena, which is now a hit, has proved my foresight at the time. If my opinion had been taken earlier, Sony Columbia Records, in addition to Gloria and Shakira, would have been able to take advantage of the Latin trend at this time to become popular with a large number of newcomers, and I have taken a fancy to many good seedlings, including Jennifer Lopez...... It's a pity. ”

"I agree, and I said I'm optimistic about Latin dance." John Cali said.

"Hmm. What else? Tommy. Howard Stringer asked again.

"Everyone else is pretty much the same, a mix of electronic, pop rap and blues, hip-hop, rock...... Wait a minute. Motura said.

John Cali sneered slightly, and slipped the small notebook into his pocket.

"No, no, no, we say the same noun, but the actual meaning is different, you are the layman John."

Motura hurriedly added, "This is actually industry, and the record industry is also industry, and ...... It's not fundamentally different from making electronic products. "Top scientists are responsible for discovering new theories, new technologies, and then companies are using that knowledge to make products, right?" ”

"Now that I have unified this understanding, I can take it now...... funk music is an analogy. ”

"We all know that James Brown invented funk music, and our composers and arrangers are going to start summarizing what creative changes he made," he says. Oh, and it turns out that he accentuated the first beat of the 4/4 melody, which is what we now call 'The One,' and blended elements of jazz, ramp-blues, and gospel music, as well as a detailed syncopated rhythm, electric bass, and ...... The rhythm of the whole song starts with The One and returns to The One. ”

"After figuring this out, the major record companies can quickly package and create their own funk stars, and new talents will appear in the whole system, and they will be redeveloped according to this foundation, such as psychedelic funk, gangster funk, ......"

"APLUS is a genius at fusion music, I admit it. But he can't always stay ahead of the learning ability of big companies like Sony Columbia Records, and he's not irreplaceable. I've noticed that the other big five record companies are starting to build his kind of good-looking, mixed-race, gang-like, creative personality of hip-hop stars, please wait......"

Motura went to open the office door and said, "Call Balotelli in." ”

He brought in a young man of mixed black and white race, 1.9 meters tall, and more handsome than Song Ya, "How is it?" He's something I discovered in Little Italy, Brooklyn, gang-bastard, big-place on the block, and amazing creative and singing talent. Give us a paragraph, Balotelli......"

"Okay." The boy was not stage frightened at all, and snapped his fingers to beat the beat, and did a rap with excellent rhythm and rhyme.

"It's okay, you go out first. He himself also took a stage name, called B-GOD, hehe...... I think it's going to be interesting. ”

Motura closed the door and said to John Cali, "Actually, you should have done these things a long time ago." ”

John Cali didn't know how to refute and looked at Howard Stringer.

Earlier in the day, in Chicago, Quincy Jones was calling her eldest daughter at home.

"2PAC funerals are over, come back, Kidada, you're just his girlfriend, her mother doesn't need your company......"

"I understand you, don't show off your desire to perform at such a time, I've told you countless times about the seriousness of this matter."

"M-fxxk, who do you think you are? Never talk to the media about revenge, what is really murderous...... If you don't know the, don't talk nonsense, you really know that people will die? ”

"Come on, it's like 2PAC loves you so much, everyone knows he's messing around in Las Vegas, and he doesn't respect or care about you at all."

"Go home! Kidada ...... Do you want me to beg you? Well? I say this because I love you......"

"Thinking in a good direction, now as long as you want, you can use his girlfriend as a girlfriend for the rest of your life, whether it is an interview with the media, or a quarrel with others, whatever you want. As long as this time gives me a good ...... What do you think? 2If PAC doesn't hang, sooner or later it will dump you! ”

"Don't talk to me like that! Come back with my people! Immediately! ”

The father and daughter broke down, and Quincy Jones slammed the microphone on the phone in a huff.

"You were mean, Daddy." The second daughter, Rashida Jones, placed the steaming coffee cup in front of her father.

"I don't drink."

Quincy Jones picked up his vintage top hat, "I'm going to a record label meeting too, what the fuck ......"

The old man scolded and took the car to the Chicago branch of JIVE Records, where the main managers were all there, as well as R Kelly.

"The theme song you wrote for Jordan's basketball movie, I Believe I Can Fly, is perfect, and that song is going to be a hit all over the world." Quincy Jones complimented R Kelly and sat down beside him.

"Thanks, are you alright?" R Kelly and the other executives cared a few words, and the meeting began.

"With regard to the future, an opportunity has arisen in front of us......"

The president of JIVE Records, who presided over the meeting, looked at Quincy Jones: "2PAC is dead, and APLUS is hiding far away and desperately whitewashing, this is an opportunity for us to enter the far backward rap music field, right?" There's a lot of room in the market right now, Quincy, I know you have a good relationship with the people at Death Row Records, and Suguenight is riddled with lawsuits, do we have a chance to poach Snoop Dogg? Help pull a string? ”

“Shit！ Don't mention that soft ass to me! ”

Quincy Jones was still angry, "I'm not involved in this kind of, you can find someone else!" ”

"Is there a future for gangster rap? I suspect that they are killing and killing, too violent. Some high-level people questioned, "It may be that the money earned by individuals is not enough for us to pay for lawyers." ”

"So what else? Latin? Now everyone is confused, and the little clever ghost of APLUS has started to write industrial metal and heavy metal rock for David Bowie! Another executive's words made everyone laugh.

Quincy Jones wasn't laughing, he wasn't in the mood, neither was R Kelly, "Uh, I've noticed that the Backstreet Boys in our European division have been doing a lot lately, and they're singing that kind of ...... Is teen dance pop right? There are also the hot girls who have just made a name for themselves in the UK, and I really like their song Wannabe, which is a bit like the London Bridge that APLUS wrote for Phigi before, which is more distinct and catchy. ”

"Do you think they can eat well in the country? The professional music critics here look down on ......," some people questioned.

"Yes, right? I feel that it will, and there is still innovation. ”

"I even feel that this genre could become a third British invasion, if we continue to do nothing like the first two," said R Kelly. ”

"The five of the spice girls? It's not good-looking, it's hard to become an idol in the United States when you take it out alone, and the pretty hottie Victoria is okay, but I heard that her singing skills are very poor. An executive said.

"What do you think, Quincy?" The president asked Quincy Jones, who was gradually calming down.

"You can try it, call the backstreet boys back to the United States to test the water first, and then sign a few beautiful boys and girls, take the idol route, mass production, bet on it is earned, and you can't lose much money anyway."

Quincy Jones said: "I personally don't like it, but I trust R Kelly's judgment, right, is there a definition of that genre? ”

"It's called Teen POP!"

In Santiago, Shakira has finished rehearsals, and she is almost running backstage, wanting to return to her lover immediately.

She thinks that her current situation is not a moth to a fire love brain, about the future, she has carefully thought and observed, this time she 'surprised' to find that APLUS and Phigie have really separated, they are in charge of their own work except for work, and they have never played as absurdly as before.

During the entire tour, APLUS except for the two Xue Linfen and Mariah Carey who gave birth to his children, he did not find out that he was dating other women, and the conversation on the phone was mainly concerned about the children.

She feels like there's a chance, and she loves APLUS too, just drown him with all her enthusiasm! APLUS has been married, and she is willing to get married!

"I'll make a deal, Mr. Estéphine, if you help me invite a satisfactory Spanish World Cup theme song, I'll give Shakira an English theme song I composed, and the male and female chorus is just me and her."

Like a happy bird, she grinned as she walked under Mawota's raised arm, and as soon as she pushed open the door to the lounge, she heard APLUS having a serious conversation with her agent inside.

She put her hands behind her back and walked lightly.

"Didn't I already promise you about the invitation to sing?" "There are no strings attached," Estéphen said. ”

"I need more active help, I guess, you still have a lot of Latin singer friends vying for this opportunity, right? I want to make our partnership a little bit closer. Song Ya said.

"That's ......"

Both of them tacitly agreed, and Estéphine muttered for a while, "Shakira is very assertive, she rejected the song you composed, I don't know ......"

“Ole ole ole ola……”

Song Ya hummed the melody of the newly obtained Apocalypse song, and the reason why she has a showdown with the other party now is because she wants Hayden to take it back to the United States for copyright filing first, "Don't you want her to appear on the World Cup album?" Although I'm an English song. ”

"Sounds good, but ...... You know APLUS, she likes you, maybe it's a better option for the two of you to find a chance to make your relationship public. ”

Estéphine made an offer: "At the time of the release of this song?" This is also beneficial for her to open up the rice market. ”

"I don't want this kind of news for a while."

Song Ya shook his head, "I think the current state is very good, happy bachelor, wait until you are thirty years old before considering staying in a certain treetop." ”
