"I grew up in Chicago and now I walk in New York......"

Sony Columbia Records acted quickly, and the director and film crew soon came to Chicago for the live part of Chicago, and the police sealed a short section of the street in the black section of the South City for half a day.

"APLUS, YOUR ACTING SKILLS ARE GOOD, IT'S BASICALLY A PASS."

The director complimented Song Ya, a white man in his 50s who was in charge of a documentary project on CBS, and it was also clear from this person's intention to make the official music video for Empire State Of Mind into a New York City propaganda film.

"Passed the prize......"

Song Ya knew that he was a few pounds and a few taels, but he was gesturing hip-hop gestures to the camera in the decaying neighborhood, and then lip-syncing with the accompaniment or something, of course, there was no difficulty in acting, if it weren't for the security in Nancheng, he was always a little worried, and the progress could have been faster.

"The last one."

The director announced that the crew would soon move to the second floor of a private house, which was also a very simple shot, Song Ya stood on the humble balcony on the second floor, just supported the railing with both hands and looked out, and the content of the live shooting in Chicago basically reflected the life in the slums before he became famous.

"OK, all departments ready." The director arranged the camera position in the back of the side, and announced the start of filming when he was satisfied with the angle of the sun.

Song Ya, wearing the cheapest trousers and elastic vest, walked out of the balcony door, emotionally empty, holding on to the railing with both hands, looking out in confusion. This is a real scene, and the nearby environment is similar to his previous residence in Nancheng, but the conditions are slightly better, at least there is a balcony, and the nearby residents like to dry their clothes in the yard, and the background of the lens specially selected by the director is these flags fluttering in the wind.

“OK！ It's over! ”

It's another one, the director looked at the watch, very satisfied, "APLUS, you did a good job!" There's still time, let's do it again. APLUS？ ”

He found that Song Ya was still in this position, looking outside in a daze, "This place has touched you, right?" He smiled and stepped forward to pat Song Ya on the shoulder, "You came out of this kind of place and achieved success, I know that all this is not easy." ”

"Well, yes."

Song Ya casually fooled him over, "Do it again, right?" He walked through the door.

Actually, I didn't feel it at all just now, but it was the apocalypse again, but it was only a few seconds of movie footage, and it was still the handsome white male protagonist in Bout It's wonderful dance performance, and the background of the picture was a place similar to his current environment, and he was looking out from the balcony to the block.

"From the same movie?"

The apocalypse is coming more and more often, and it's a bit of a puzzle puzzle, and it is unknown whether Song Ya feels that it will be a complete movie by then......

By the way, there is also Show me the money, judging from the picture quality, cinematography, and dance style, it seems that it is also in this unknown movie.

"OK, this one is okay, call it a day!"

After filming one more with thought about it, the director had a good impression of Song Ya, "APLUS, you kid is very good, with a high degree of cooperation, you don't play big names on the set, and you don't have all the various quirks of Hollywood stars of the same level." ”

"What quirks?"

"There are too many of them, some of them have to arrange special rooms and people to take care of their cats and dogs, some of them have to redecorate the dressing room according to her ideas, and even the placement of flower arrangements has to be asked, not to mention those who like to be late or get drunk and drunk on the set."

The director seems to be full of resentment against Hollywood, and should have experienced failure there.

"You're going back to New York to shoot Miss Kelly, right?" Song Ya asked.

"Yes, and then we'll see you in New York when you come to New York."

"See you in New York, oh no, see you at A+ Records in the evening, I prepared a party for the crew."

"Haha, okay." The director was very happy, and the crew next to him let out a burst of cheers when they heard it, the party of A coffee stars, there must be no shortage of good wine and beautiful women.

"Get out of here."

Song Ya went to chat with the person in charge of the police force in charge of emptying the block for a while, and the other party urged: "It's not safe here, you are out here, you know better than me." ”

"I know, we'll get out right away." Song Ya smiled at the other party: "Thank you to Peter for me." ”

"Yes, let's go."

Getting in the car and returning to A+ Records, Hayden was already waiting in the office, and he hurriedly asked, "What do you say about the star-studded chorus at the end of the year?" ”

"MJ is definitely not coming, he is not equal to Escuber, and the gang rapper is contrary to his philosophy, and besides, he has to bring his own royal rap ......" Song Ya replied, "and I can't release Escuber pigeons." ”

"Is this MJ's attitude?" Hayden asked.

"How could MJ possibly show this attitude, it was hinted at by Sandy Gren on the phone."

"That's the best, if MJ doesn't come, our selection will be much easier, and we don't need to invite those old singers with equal coffee positions."

Yeremov roughly sorted out the list, "Mariah Carey sings one round of chorus, BABYFACE sings another, you are responsible for the opening part of the rap and the ending lyrics, Fergi's is in charge of Celine Dion, Al is shared by Escubus and Dre, and Dillay's part is given to Kris Kross, NAS and Sir Mix-A-Lot and others, and then a few bits and pieces and some other young singers who are under Sony Columbia Records, and Fergie, Al, DeLay, Common: Their status at the time of filming is probably the equivalent of a background wall. ”

"Yes."

This candidate Song Ya is very satisfied, except for some candidates who want to repay the favor, the others are basically arranged by Motura, and naturally all of them are singers under Sony Columbia Records.

In this way, the influence will be weakened, but all parties will be satisfied, "MJ will not have an opinion, right?" Hayden asked.

"He always holds the shelf and doesn't speak formally, what can I do." Song Ya shrugged, "And he doesn't necessarily have time to tour the world." ”

"I heard that HBO spent 12 million pounds to buy the rights to broadcast his Bucharest concert on the first of next month." Yeremov said.

"Well, who called him MJ?"

In terms of commercial value, Song Ya couldn't see the other party's taillights, and she couldn't be envious and jealous.

"You have less drinks at the evening party, tomorrow is Gore's fundraising dinner in Chicago." Hayden reminded.

"I know, there's no way I'm going to mess up this kind of thing." Song Ya gestured to the brand-new dress that had been prepared, and was putting the finishing touches on Taraghi's hands.

At this time, the phone rings, "APLUS, is it convenient to speak?" The other party didn't greet him, and asked like this in the first sentence, as if there was an urgent matter.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Motula." Song Ya held down the microphone and motioned to Hayden and the others, "It's Motula." ”

"Okay." Hayden and the others got up and left, Taraghi also pointed at herself, Song Ya nodded, she carefully put down the dress, and left with her.

"That's it." Song Ya said.

"Uh...... APLUS, I MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO ASK YOU AGAIN. ”

Normally, Motura doesn't speak to herself in this tone, unless it's because of Mariah Carey, "When are you coming to New York?" ”

"According to the schedule, when I was filming the MV with Miss Kelly, a few days later, what's wrong?" Song Ya asked.

"Can you come to New York sooner? It's like this......"

It turns out that Mariah Carey has recently begun to make frequent contact with black artists in New York in order to collect another rhythm and blues song, and Motura has no idea which tendon is wrong, and wants to find herself to help watch her.

"You are one of Mimi's few true friends in the circle, and I am very relieved of you......"

"But the African-Americans in New York, you know, people like Daddy Kane, they're all reckless scumbags, and they take pleasure in hooking up with women, and the more famous they are, the more energetic they get, and they're going to brag in circles about sleeping with DIVA or something," Motura said. Mimi is too simple, I'm afraid she won't be able to guard against it when the time comes, especially since she still likes to drink a little, but I can't limit her too much, she already has a big opinion of me in this regard. ”

“……”

Songya and Mariah Kelly had already learned of her idea when they were talking on the phone, and she was missing a song for her new album, and she wanted a rhythm and blues style, and a little more brisk and hip-hop than BABYFACE's signature genre. As a result, she had to start working with black artists who acted in a street-like way.

"And how do you want me to keep an eye on her? She'll have a problem with me, too. "Song Yaya knows Mariah Carey, she is very assertive about her music, she thinks that the new album still lacks a song, then she must try her best to get it.

"It's to accompany her to an appointment or something, parties, nightclubs, especially nightclubs, you have to keep an eye on her, just do me a favor, and I'll show you something when I get back."
