"Uh, gin is good."
Motula poured two glasses of wine, took them and handed them to Song Ya. After the two had a taste, he said, "I heard Walter said that you and Mary can talk very well."
"Uh……"
Song Ya watched each other carefully, as if he didn't mean to ask the teacher, "Yes, Miss Kelly and I had a little misunderstanding before, but then we became good friends."
"She doesn't have many friends in New York, you can get together more if you have nothing to do." Motura put down her glass.
"Okay." Song Yaxin said that you told me to get together more.
"emmmm……"
Motula crossed her fingers on her lap, showing a look of embarrassment. After thinking about it for a long time, she said: "Something, we have a little dispute, can you help me persuade her?"
"You say."
"Is such that……"
Through Motula’s narration, Song Ya understood that with Mariah Carey’s popularity, the usual demeanor of the black community began. Like MJ’s current dilemma, “not black enough”, this has become The black group attacked her target.
In some aspects, I guess I will be attacked by this kind of attack in the future, and I can't avoid it.
But Mariah Carey’s way of dealing with it is a little different. She thinks that since I'm all said that I am not dark enough, why should I just go for a tanning? Just at the end of the month, the Grammy Awards made a new appearance, suppressing the negative comments of the black community. Anyway, this kind of tanning behavior is very common in the United States, because the wealthy white people have money and leisure to go to the beach, and at the same time they sunburn themselves. Those who have no money and no leisure have to use a kind of sunbathing equipment in the city. His skin also looks like he just came back from the beach.
And this idea was firmly opposed by Motula, and the two quarreled.
Mariah Carey thinks that since she is half black anyway, it’s okay to be a tanner, and no one would say she’s ‘black enough’.
"You know, I like her, I like her now..."
Motula carefully said, "Of course, this does not mean that I am a racist who dislikes black skin and ugly. I signed MJ, signed you, signed a large number of African-American singers, and this year I plan to give some street singers Rapper opportunity. And Mary, she has overreacted, do you know what I mean?"
"I understand, I understand, I am also a mixed race, I feel the same as Miss Kelly's attack." Song Ya comforted him.
"Yes, that's why I came to you."
"Don't worry, I will persuade Miss Kelly."
Song Ya took over this errand. In the evening, Walter had already arranged to have another dinner together. It was still a few of them, or the French restaurant.
But this time, Walt, David Cole and Roberto Clevere have made excuses to leave early.
"They are so boring."
Mariah Carey complained, raised her hand to greet the waiter and poured another glass of red wine, "Ha, Walt is not here, you are not allowed to inform." She winked at Song Ya.
"Don't worry, am I that kind of person?" Song Ya pulled the chair closer, "Are you busy lately?"
"In addition to recording songs, I am preparing to participate in the Grammys. By the way, you can give me some advice..."
She took out a Gucci catalogue of fine evening wear from her bag, "I plan to wear this one." She pointed to a white evening wear.
"Why don't you choose the black one next to it, it suits your skin." Song Ya deliberately pointed to another black style with diamond trim and shoulder straps and said: "And it's very shiny~www.mtlnovel.com~ judges You won’t be able to look away."
"Wow, you have the same eyes as my stylist."
She unknowingly entered Song Ya's language trap, "But my skin will become a little darker by then, this one is not so suitable."
"A little bit darker?"
"Yeah, I plan to do tanning during this time."
"Why? In my eyes, you are the perfect woman now!"
"Hehe, your kid, your mouth is so sweet." Mariah Carey smiled and hit him on the shoulder, "You don't know what those DJs say about me."
"What are you talking about? Not dark enough?"
"Yes." She took a sip of red wine.
"Hahaha!"
Song Ya laughed pretentiously, "Why don't I know, I am also a mixed race, they also said that I am not dark enough."
"is it?"
"Of course, you don't care about them, really, you don't understand those DJs."
Song Ya said: "I'm not like you, the princess of Columbia Records. I often deal with these big and small DJs when running B-List promotion. I know them too well. As long as they are mixed, they will say you. If you’re not dark enough, you’re not your own person. If you make yourself dark, do you know what they will say about you?"
"What do you say about me?"
"They will say that you are a'fake' black man! Believe me, you are destined to not please them. How can they shut up because of the DISS beat rate? And if you let them know that you care about their comments, They will only become more and more unscrupulous, and nothing else, just to provoke your reaction, just like a neighbor’s little boy likes to deliberately cry a girl, they are so cheap.
Chicago 1990 Chapter 82: Back to school
Mariah Carey gave up the idea of doing tanning, Song Ya soon got a thank you from Motula Quietly Mimi, NBC's David Letterman sent an invitation from the late night show, absolute first-line TV show, four Minutes of performances and ten-minutes of interviews, past guests are basically film and television songs and even political celebrities.
But not now, probably in February or March after the Grammy Awards, David Letterman has very high requirements for the quality of the program, and he must be burdened within the ten-minute interview. Song Ya notified Hayden and asked William Morris to communicate with the late night show crew to an excellent script. He is not a joke player who can play on the spot. The energy of NBC is not comparable to that of small and medium-sized radio DJs. The ratings of this top-brand program have lost two points, and it is estimated that there will be no one-line interviews daring to invite him for a long time. And NBC still has NBA broadcasting rights, offending them is not good for future promotion of RememberTheName.
The four-minute performance is not easy to fool, really sing, and at the same time have to improvise interaction with the comedians of the show group, this is Song Ya's own order, he has to spend his free time to practice hard.
After the four-week promotion period, his singles immediately disappeared from the eye-catching spots in the major audiovisual stores. Customers had to go around the shelves and look for it to see it. Ifeelitcoming was not included in the background music list that was looping in the store. , The delivery of rice knives to small and medium-sized black DJs also stopped, and most of them were too lazy to swallow the praise that had been said. After all, the heat was over, and the curse also increased the exposure of Song Ya.
Bulletin board rankings will definitely suffer a cliff-like decline, and sales feedback will be later. Judging from the estimation of Columbia Records, the platinum line will definitely be crossed by the end of the fifth week, and then the Grammy effect will be met head on (award-winning song captures the audience) Attention, sales skyrocketing), Song Ya and Ifeelitcoming, who had no harvest, were sad. They could only wait for the last wave of rebound after the broadcast of David Letterman's late night show, and then completely cool off.
Don’t blame Columbia Records. Song Ya doesn’t want to make some news or gossip or other hype. He is going back to Chicago and school starts.
Chicago was much colder than New York in mid-January. When the three of them got out of the airport, they were so cold that they didn't want to talk. After returning to the recording studio with big bags and small bags, Dile took off his jacket and exclaimed, "Chicago is so cold."
