Motula stopped writing and pondered for a few seconds, "It's a bit troublesome. This song has received a good response from professional media and music critics. It can't be sold if it's out of the greater New York area. I'm back, and wait until they make something that can satisfy me."
"Ok."
Song Ya also agreed with him that it is indeed a bit difficult for this single to celebrate New York to sell all over the country.
Motura quickly signed, and the two left.
"Is MJ's own lawyer and his agent at odds?" Song Ya remembered that at the Grammy celebration dinner at the beginning of the year, MJ's lawyer Blanca and his agent Sandy Glen had a fight in front of him.
Walter laughed a few times, "This is MJ's management art, don't you want to see your agent and attorney together?" He asked back.
"Uh..." Hayden and Goodman are indeed in a good relationship, but Song Ya guessed that they would not be able to pit himself together. "Even for defense, there is no need to make the relationship so tight? Isn't everyone over the sale?"
"That's not something we can manage." Walter shook his head, "Stop talking about MJ, especially in this building." He reminded.
"Okay, thank you, Walter."
Song Ya knows that the other party is out of good intentions. The person with Sony Columbia Records who has the best relationship with him is Roberto Clever. After all, the two have a business cooperation, but he is most assured of Walter's character.
Sony Columbia’s expectations for the song "Small" are much lower than RememberTheName. They plan to release the single in early July, so that Song Ya will start the talk show at the same time, with the B-list level pre-publicity, and then watch the sales adjustment announcement. Development strategy, a very standard set of procedures.
Even Song Ya herself does not plan to spend all her effort on pushing this song. There are too many electro-modified parts in the song, and it will definitely be criticized in this era. Mariah Carey's lesson of being overwhelmed by the suspicion of the music is still experienced. At present, she was tossed too hard without repairing her voice. It is better to keep a low profile for her own frequent offender.
However, this song also has highlights. Whether in the United States or the world, the higher the talent of the singer, the more popular the general public will be. Song Ya will perform a trumpet on the TV show, and then cooperate with Sony Columbia’s publicity to praise his genius. The juvenile character set is further consolidated.
So besides shooting the MV, his main task is to practice the trumpet.
Having held several preparatory meetings with Zach Schneider and the producer, Song Ya changed the plan and decided to shoot most of the MV scenes in a studio in New York, which can save a little money and is convenient. Those classical band trumpeters... I can only say sorry to them. Their role will be replaced by dancers. After all, it’s a MV. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to play the trumpet. Just hold the instrument and perform with your mouth. After all, the dancer’s camera sense And dance skills, professional classical musicians do not have.
"Yes, not bad."
In the studio, Song Ya, who came to confirm the setting, expressed satisfaction, “The furnishings next to the bed should be more futuristic.” He made a few tips, and the props master wrote them down.
"The dancers are here."
The producer personally brought a white man in his twenties over to say hello, "APLUS, you know. APLUS, this is Adam Shankman."
"Hello." The two shook hands.
"Shandman's dance team performed on the stage at the 90th Oscars. He has a deep research on the direction of hip-hop dance." The producer introduced.
Song Ya chatted with the other party for a few words and pulled the producer aside to speak alone, "I don't have to use such a professional dance team, and this team is a bit too crowded and too'white'." Shankman followed just now. Twenty to thirty young men and women, mostly white.
"We pay the money, and you can use it." The producer whispered: "This dance team has not been able to take care of work recently, and it is almost impossible to maintain it, so we should do them a favor." He blinked at Song Ya Blinked.
"You want to help them, right?" Song Ya secretly complained. This producer, who has always admired his own money-saving style, abnormally fortifies the entire huge dance team. He must be using Columbia Records' MV production fee. Favors.
"Fine."
Song Ya agreed, there was no need to expose the other party's private transactions, anyway, he did not spend his own money, "but it is really too ‘white’, this is not good, I can’t offend the black community."
It’s still an old problem. Even if the dancers use all whites, they can’t please the whites, because they don’t focus on this, but doing so will definitely offend the blacks~www.mtlnovel.com~ He originally planned to get his dance coach from Chicago Pull people here.
"I see." The producer took Song Ya back to communicate with Shankman.
"I want four to six dancers dressed as trumpeters, and then there are four to six hip-hop dancers. Half of them must be women and half of African descent." Song Ya asked.
"I understand." Shankman has no bargaining capital and can only agree, "I can probably come up with ten dancers that meet the requirements."
"Okay, I will call someone from Chicago to add the rest, so you can bring someone into the team as soon as possible."
Song Yagang takes care of the dancers, and Roberto Clerville’s heroine asks to call again, "APLUS, I remember one time when we talked about IFeelItComing’s heroine casting, the Latin girl Shaqi I mentioned to you Pull?"
"Uh, Roberto, the heroine has been set."
Fergie is already excited on the plane coming to New York, Song Ya doesn't want a fire in the backyard...
Chicago 1990 Chapter 156: Tell a play
Song Ya has seen Shakira’s mv. She just released a rough Latin album recently. The little girl is black and short, with her eyeliner drawn like an Egyptian pharaoh, with a rustic explosion. head.
"Next time you have a chance, you must think of her first." Roberto Clerville was a little unhappy. He only helped Song Ya to get Sony Columbia Records to sign NAS.
"Sure, don't worry Roberto."
Song Ya could only fool him first.
The mv producer has a very big appetite. He not only paid the Shankman dancers a lot of performance, but also asked Shankman to put on several titles such as dance **** and choreographer. Naturally, the production costs of MV must be paid accordingly. The job salary, this'busy' can be of great help.
This made Song Ya a little unhappy, although it was spent on record company money.
If there is another time, he is not going to work with this producer again, but unfortunately the cooperation between the two is quite tacit.
In the first scene, the trumpet is playing the music of ‘trumpet’. Song Ya wearing a sleeveless T-shirt lies casually halfway on the bed, lip-synching to the lyrics, while looking at Fergie in front of him with admiring eyes.
Fergie drew a very mature makeup today, wearing a short skirt covering the hips, twisting her waist greatly, stepping on high heels and approaching the bed.
"Puff......" Climbing onto the bed, she lay down to the rhythm of the music, and just turned her buttocks up to the camera, she suddenly laughed, "My goose bumps are all up."
"Card!" Zach Schneider shouted to stop behind the monitor, "What's the matter? Fergie!? Come here!"
Fergie sticks out her tongue at Song Ya and obediently walks up to Zach Schneider for training.
"You are an old actor!"
Zach Schneider was very merciless, "How many times have you laughed with a simple lens!?"
"I used to play a children's show." Fergie refused.
"You..." Zach Schneider was speechless, "aplus, we're going to talk."
He pulled Song Ya aside, "Where was the black girl last time? Halle Berry, she is more suitable for this **** role than Fergie, and she has better acting skills."
