"Okay." Hayden agreed.
Song Ya put on a baseball jacket similar to the little fat man in the original MV of beautifulgirls, coupled with jeans and a shiny a+ tag on the chest, walked out of the dressing room, went to the stage to meet with Mariah Carey and the pianist, and began to cross. Rehearsal for the annual party performance.
"I will use this version then." The staff of Sony Columbia Records began to play the prepared accompaniment tape, "aplus, are you ready for the temporary addition?"
"Ready." Song Ya walked to the marked position in the corner of the rehearsal hall and waved to the non-existent audience, "Happy New Year! Everybody!"
"At that time, dry ice and color bars will come out in front of you, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, don't be scared." The staff reminded.
"Okay. I grew up in Chicago, and now I am walking in New York..." Song Ya sang and walked to the second marked location, and gestured to Mariah Carey, "New York..." She began to sing.
"It's perfect, Miss Kelly, please pay attention. When aplus introduces you to the audience, the lights will show you. You need to be more energetic when you show up. It's best to do something to the audience." After the song was finished, the staff continued to remind.
"I know I know." Mariah Carey waved impatiently.
"Aplus, the pressure on the lyrics is all with you."
"I won't forget the words, don't worry."
The two concentrated on preparing for a long time before finishing the rehearsal. Times Square is a landmark and central area of New York. It is usually very busy. The stage can only be temporary and will be completed on the same day, and the area will not be large. In order to create a lively atmosphere for the New Year’s Eve, the lights, fireworks and backing dancers will be extraordinarily exaggerated. In addition to the countless audiences in the audience, the scene is very noisy, so the organizers and audiences can tolerate the singer’s lip-synching and choose the two that are true No one will be okay to find faults when someone is in a small situation.
"Call, bye."
When they stepped off the stage, assistants, bodyguards, and some staff members who came to sign, surrounded them with a lot of people.
"Bye, see you then."
There was no chance to chat alone anymore, so they had to say goodbye to each other, and each was hugged and left.
"Samuel is calling..." Hayden became very excited when he got in the car, "Motura is going to pay you a lot of money!"
"Is this guy finally willing to settle the record revenue?"
The news was expected, but Song Ya was still very happy after learning, "Yes! It's finally this day!"
"Congratulations aplus, you will become a real multimillionaire..."

Samuel closed the document, "A total of 26.5 million, APLUS. This does not include the first 1 million sales share, and your business performance and advertising revenue for the whole year of 1991. Congratulations."
He, Hayden, and everyone present looked at Song Ya and began to applaud.
"Thank you."
Song Ya now feels as refreshing as eating ice cream in the sun in summer, "I also thank you for your efforts to defend this income for me."
In the second half of 1991, the two wars with Little Lori and Motula caused him more than four million dollars in financial losses, and he was forced to introduce the money-sharing monster Wing Dao Accounting Firm, but now everything is It's worth it, if you don't have to try your best to defend with more than 26 million meters of knives, how can it be eaten in your mouth like it is now.
"Next year will still need everyone's joint efforts." There will be a first album release next year, which will definitely be another tough battle.
"How do you plan to spend this money?"
Samuel asked when the group returned to Tribeca's house.
"The top priority is to change the place for A+ Records."
Song Ya had some preliminary considerations, "Big A can no longer meet its needs. By the way, A+ Records will also acquire Big A Radio. Then...see if you can buy a small company like DTS that has surround sound patents. Next year Innovative technology is listed on the Nasdaq. I will also collect some of his stocks in the open market, and I will diversify investment in other IT stocks. For the rest, I may buy some small media. I need to have some in the media industry. Helping voice."
"The idea is very clear, you really are not a star who will spend money."
Samuel appreciates it very much, "If you need help, you can come to me. Next year, I will be the managing partner of Yongdao Firm in Midwestern America."
"Then I would like to congratulate you too." Song Ya toasted him.
The two drank the wine in their glasses with a smile.
"YES!"
When everyone was gone, Song Ya raised his arms and shouted in the room alone. The growth this year has made him unexpected. Apocalypse songs are powerful enough, but in order to make good use of and protect all of this, he has also worked extremely hard. , He is finally not the shame of the traveler.
He doesn't need others to share his happiness, all this belongs to himself.
After drinking a lot of wine, he suppressed his extreme high mood and fell asleep on the big bed of the top-level mansion.
"APLUS?"
At noon the next day, she was awakened by Taraji's knock on the door.
