It's amazing that Sony Columbia Records' celebration dinner is still scheduled at the World Trade Tower, which happens to be the place where Songya got the Apocalypse Empire State of Mind last year when she was talking to Mariah Carey, and it was with this song that they won this year's Grammy Best Single and one of the most important awards.

"MR. APLUS, CAN YOU GET CLOSER TO MISS KELLY?"

The photographer interrupted Song Ya's mental activity, and he directed the three grand prize winners to take a group photo, "Mr. Burton, you too, all closer, closer." ”

Songya and Michael Burton sandwiched Mary Carey in the middle, each holding a golden Grammy trophy: a golden gramophone, and constantly posing various poses to the camera.

The three of them came closer, Michael Burton was colder, and Songya and Mariah Kelly hugged each other and smiled very brightly.

"OK, then we'll take a couple more group photos." The photographer asked the other winners who were waiting to come over, including the Chinese cellist YOYO that Song Ya had seen earlier, and his multi-ensemble was also signed to Sony Columbia Records.

"Mr. Motula, you've come just in time." After taking a group photo, the photographer saw Motura walking by, "Let's take a picture together." ”

"Mimi, Michael, congratulations." Motura hugged Mariah Carey first, then shook hands with Michael Burton, "And APLUS, congratulations, well done." He happily patted Song Ya on the shoulder, of course, referring to Song Ya's role in winning the Best Record of the Year award.

In the case of offending Quincy Jones and Russell Simmons, and Sony Columbia Records has no key public relations, Song Ya won the award with the influence of Shirley Fleming, Rick Robin, Barenboy, BABYFACE, Steven, Escubber, Drey, etc., as well as the strong support of William Morris, plus the character of the previous American music magazine savior. Of course, the excellent quality of Empire State of Mind itself and the interpretation of Mary Carey and herself are also important factors, plus Johnson's BET stopped the smear in time.

But winning this award does not mean how much influence Song Ya really has, Shirley Fleming, Barenboy, BABYFACE, and Steven all repaid him at this Grammy for various reasons, and this year's support cannot be extended to the future, Rick Robin has an exchange of interests, and he will return the ticket to his singers next year, and the favors of Eskuber, Dre and others will also give other rewards in the future.

So, if his influence doesn't continue to grow, this year will actually be the year of his strongest Grammy connections, and achieving this result doesn't mean anything, not to mention that superstars like MJ don't care about the Grammys anymore.

Motura gestured as a man at the helm with her arms outstretched behind the winners.

“Cheese……”

At the end of the photoshoot, "Mimi, I'll take you to meet a few people." Motura raised her elbows and gestured to Mariah Kelly.

Mariah Carey's face changed, and she didn't respond.

"Uh, well, I know you're mad about the best female pop singer, but I can't help it, I tried my best." MOTURA THOUGHT ABOUT IT AND DIDN'T BOTHER WITH HOLDING HANDS ANYMORE, "COME ON, BABYFACE AND DARRYL ARE HERE." ”

Mariah Carey greeted everyone, "Lost." He shook Song Ya's knowing look at each other and left behind Motula.

"LAFACE RECORDS?"

Michael Burton was a little surprised, "Is Miss Kelly going to make the transition to rhythm and blues?" ”

"A lot of critics think the '90s will be the era of rhythm and blues." Someone replied.

Michael Burton pouted and said no more, and left to find someone he knew.

“YOYO。”

Song Ya didn't expect BABYFACE to come, but he was not in a hurry to meet, and took this opportunity to greet the Chinese cellist, "Congratulations, let's go over and talk too?" Here he used Chinese directly.

That YOYO was startled by him, "You...... Hello. He spoke Chinese in a pitpit manner, "How can you speak so fluently?" "Everyone knows that Song Ya is half Chinese, but few people know that he speaks Chinese so well.

"Haha, it's not bad."

"Isn't that good...... There is no Chinese speaking environment in the United States, I only speak it at home. Halfway through, he switched to English.

Song Ya also stopped showing off, used back to English, handed the trophy to Taragi for safekeeping, walked to the cold dining table with him to get some food, and chatted.

The topic of "I've heard your Game of Thrones, very good sketch ......" naturally revolves around classical music at first.

"So you have a good relationship with Mr. Barenboy, too?" Hearing that the other party said that he had also cooperated with Barenboy, Song Ya asked.

"Of course, the circle is small." "And it's getting smaller." ”

Song Ya deliberately talked at a very high level, and soon he learned that Barenboy's ex-wife, the British national treasure cellist Dupree, passed on a famous piano she owned to YOYO before her death. He also learned what Asians in the United States think of Miss Saigon the musical.

"What do you mean...... Do Asian Americans like this musical very much? Song Ya was a little surprised, "Why?" ”

"You don't like it?" YOYO ASKED RHETORICALLY, AS IF BARENBOY HAD ASKED THIS QUESTION BEFORE.

"Uh, don't you think the perspective of this play is a bit too central to the United States? The Vietnamese girl loved the soldiers of the United States to death or something. Since the other party is pure Chinese, Song Ya has no scruples when he speaks.

"It's a bit of a thing, but the presence of Asians in the United States is too low, and Miss Saigon is the first Broadway musical with a majority of Asian artists, so, of course, everyone loves it." "EVERYBODY THINKS IT'S A BIG STEP FORWARD, AT LEAST IT'S MUCH BETTER THAN THE IMAGE OF FU PUZHOU OR JAP (A DISCRIMINATORY TERM FOR A BOOK), AND A LOT OF ASIANS EVEN GO TO Broadway to see a show," YOYO said. ”

"That's right." Song Ya disagreed, "It's like stepping on someone under their feet first and then picking them up and throwing a bone?" ”

"Hah!" YOYO laughed, "That's why I asked 'you don't like it' in advance, according to our experience, only people who came after the opening of the mainland of China will have a similar opinion to you about this musical, with almost no exceptions." ”

"Really?"

FXXK, almost exposed, "Hehe, I'm a native of Chicago's South Side. Song Ya hurriedly covered up.

"I know, so I talked about it when I talked to Barenboy about you."

"Really? I didn't expect you to talk about me. ”

"Of course, we're not old diehards who never listen to pop music." YOYO blinked, smiled and said, "And we all voted for you, a lot of people." ”

"I know, I'm very grateful, otherwise I wouldn't have won that award."

At this time, Walt walked over, "APLUS, come and talk to us?" ”

"Okay, I'm not going to be with you, I'll have a chance to talk again. Oh, by the way, can you do an interview with America Music, write a script or something? ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Song Ya followed Walter to join up with old friends such as Roberto Clevell and David Cole.

"Where's your wife?" Song Ya never saw Walt's wife from beginning to end.

"Alas!" Walter sighed, "I'm going through the divorce process with me, don't mention her." ”

"WELL, WHY DID MR. MOTURA BRING MISS KELLY TO MEET BABYFACE THEM?" Song Ya took the opportunity to investigate.

"What else could Miss Kelly's '93 album try some rhythm and blues style." Roberto Clevard wasn't a little happy about this, and Motura finding another producer for Mariah Kelly meant that the three of them would be condensed.

"I've heard people say that the 90s will be the era of rhythm and blues?" Song Ya asked.

"Maybe, who knows, those music critics are just gambling, jumping out and shouting that they are ahead of their sights, touching their noses and pretending to be dead when they bet wrong. David Bowie (rock star) also said that hip-hop represents the future, because other music styles are stuck in the old framework, and only hip-hop is always trying new things. ”

David Cole replied.

"By the way, I heard that David Bowie is pursuing supermodel Iman? Is that the one where MJ's MV appears? Walter asked.

"Your news is too closed Walt, they're getting married, April."

Roberto Clever said: "By the way, when will your new album be released with APLUS?" Is there a chance of Shakira in the rest of the songs? ”

This guy mentioned Shakira to himself as soon as he had the chance, "It's not decided yet, don't worry, I won't forget her if I have the chance." Song Ya can only hang a perfunctory guarantee.

"How's your partnership going?" Walter asked.

"Not bad." In this regard, Roberto Clevard is very satisfied with Song Ya, "The land that Lighter bought in Silicon Valley is a very successful investment, and the factory is also making money. ”

The four of them got together and chatted from this topic to that topic for a while, "Hi...... Can I join? Maria Kelly leaned in.
