Chapter 116

After all, it's not a problem for Columbia Sony to sign their own company for the sake of Asia. Of course, if Donnie is signed, song Ya is not going to break his promise. She is really a good voice.

As for the other pure female version of Empire State of mind, song Ya hasn't figured out yet. If he doesn't win enough profits for himself, he won't take it out.

He was comfortable in his hotel bed and turned on the TV.

There seems to be another big news in Los Angeles. A few days ago, a teenage black girl was stealing from a new Romanian shop. After being found, she knocked down her 50 year old boss's wife. Unexpectedly, she took out a pistol and shot the black girl who was going out.

According to song Ya's humble understanding, black girls have developed from stealing to beating the shopkeeper, which has constituted robbery, and the shopkeeper has been obviously threatened. According to the local non yielding law, it should be beaten to death. The point of controversy is that the boss's wife shot the girl from the back when she went out, and directly aimed at the head. This should have been a purely legal issue, but it was turned into a racial issue again, between African Americans and Asians.

It would have been embarrassing to have the Rodney King incident reversed and beaten in the face. This time, it was a black man who caused trouble and was killed in the end

Song Ya is too lazy to call and ask Michelle, she is also worried.

"Fortunately, it's Singaporean, not Chinese..."

He is now tired of seeing such news and turns the television on.

Jingling

The room phone rings, "hello." Only song a Sheng knows that he lives in this room. In the evening, the hotel usually doesn't make phone calls to disturb guests, so he picks up the receiver and uses Chinese directly.

There was a silence on the other end of the phone, "aplus?" Asked an old black man with a puzzled voice.

"Are you?" Sonya was a little surprised, and the voice was familiar. "Mr. Steven?" He remembered that it was Steven, an executive at Atlantic Records.

"Yes! I thought I had the wrong number, ha ha... " Steven laughed. "Is it convenient for you now? We'd like to come up and have a chat with you. Of course, if you come down, we'll be in the hotel lobby. "

"How do you know I live in Wait, you guys? Who else? "

“BABYFACE。”

“……”

"Don't hide, boy. I'm tired from New York by him." Steven laughs.

"Well, you come up."

Song Ya feels a little creepy. Is his whereabouts so easy to check? Is it on the news again? No, even journalists don't know exactly which room they live in, do they? Even Hayden and they don't know

Is this babyface too powerful? Can you find it all?

He put down the phone and called song a Sheng to take courage.

"Hello, hello..."

Steven is the advanced gate. A handsome young black man is following him. It is indeed babyface. Song Ya knows that the other party is in his thirties, but he does not look old. He does not know whether the stage name baby face is derived from his looks.

"Is this your elder?" Steven asked, looking at song.

"I think so." Song Ya let them sit down on the sofa in the suite.

"You are How... " He has to figure out the problem first.

"Hey, boy, you've made him anxious. He spent a lot of money to find you as soon as possible." Steven points to babyface and laughs.

"Aplus, you are young and don't know much about how the media and paparazzi work." Babyface leaned on the sofa and didn't hide anything.

The media and paparazzi are cooperative. Paparazzi are like mercenaries. When they take pictures of the whereabouts or news of stars, they will submit them to the media in exchange for remuneration. But the editors of the media also have to choose. They can't buy all kinds of news. There is a process of elimination. For example, song Ya arrived in Sunnyvale and was photographed by paparazzi, but there was no topic. Naturally, it would not be selected by the media.

There is also an underground black market between paparazzi and paparazzi. The trading center is Hollywood. Some unscrupulous paparazzi will send these unsold "useless" news to Hollywood middlemen, such as aplus to Sunnyvale and so on, for the purchase of babyface.

In fact, song Ya has also bought similar services. Last time, Hayden chamira's parents were informed through this kind of middleman. However, the transaction cost only 800 dollars, and Steven was able to say that it was a lot of money. It is estimated that babyface made a lot of money to find him this time.

"Then you don't know which room I live in?" Song Ya asked.

Babyface chuckled. "I added money."

It is estimated that he bought out some hotel internal staff. Song Yali engraved the hotel in his heart and put it into the blacklist, and he will not stay in any more.

"Well, is it for Donnie's sake?" The other party is so looking for the door, song Ya also can't pretend to be stupid.Fortunately, Sonya knows about babyface. He belongs to the musicians like Steven and Quincy Jones. They all have some old jazz style. They are well-dressed, and they focus on the upper class and try to play according to the rules made by the white people. They are not the same as rappers who mix the streets with rakim and big E.

"Of course." Babyface was really in a hurry. She went to Songya and said, "Donnie, I've been optimistic about her since several years ago. I have a whole set of plans to train her. Sony Columbia could not have competed with me."

"To be honest, it has nothing to do with me." Song Ya shrugged. "I don't mean to hurt you. I just write my own songs."

"I haven't heard your song, but it must be wonderful to make Donnie give up my two songs and switch to Colombia for one of your songs."

This seems to make babyface a little frustrated. "I know that I'm very bold to come to you, but I still want to work with you. In private, if you can get me to sign downy, you can make an offer."

"My album is released in Colombia. How can I help you? Yin motura? Joking about my own future? " Song Ya does not want to open, it is really the price he can not afford, "you have the energy to buy me, it is better to simply bid with Colombia."

"Donnie is twenty-four years old, and her singing style is so bad that she wants a song to be famous, not the hundreds of thousands of dollars." Babyface replied, "I don't have no way. I won't bother to come to you personally. Donnie will sign with Colombia in two days."

"Aplus, we have a good friendship. I heard from rakim about your action in New York. You have an appointment to join hands again in May, right?" Steven said, "babyface has been working hard in Atlanta for many years. His laface records and the last allista records are also in Atlanta. They will be your good helpers in the southern United States. We can help each other."

Song Ya has some regrets and easily agreed to motura's involvement in this matter. This time, the pot on his back is really not light. If babyface is disappointed, it seems that the music circle in the south of the United States will make trouble for itself in the future, "I really can't do anything about it! Think for me. What can I do to meet your requirements? "

"Don't give your song to Donnie!" Babyface is straightforward.

"It's impossible!" Song Ya stood up and said excitedly, "that's motura! I can't afford to offend him! " He motioned to Steven, "Steven, you don't deny that, do you? Why don't I tell motura that you made me do it? "

Steven leaned back and raised his hands. "No, I'm just a middleman. I'll finish the job if I bring babyface to meet you."

Motura is very powerful in today's American music circle, not only because MJ and Maria Kelly are under his banner, he was a powerful figure before he became the president of Sony Colombia. He has a strong personality and vicious means. Otherwise, Sony will not ask him to take the helm and buy the company for billions of dollars. Except for the occasional stupidity in Maria Kelly

"Look

Song Ya sat back and said, "I'm a small role. The first issue contract is still in the hands of motura."

Babyface refused to give up, "aplus, have you heard the Soul Train Music Award?"

Song ya, of course, has heard of it. It's a music award only given to black people, and generally only to jazz, soul and R & B musicians. They seem to have a prejudice against hip-hop music, let alone rock and country played by white people. Maria Kelly won the award last year.

"We, my partners in laface records, L.A. Reid, Steven, Quincy Jones, we have a lot of influence on this award, and Grammy, we also..."

Halfway through, he was interrupted by Steven coughing. "You know, just work with us and help me get Donnie, and you'll get paid for all these awards."

"I don't offend motura."

"And, Hollywood, I also have a relationship, Eddie Murphy, next year his movies will all use my soundtrack, do you have any favorite actors..."

"I don't offend motura."

"Ah! FXXK！” Babyface lost track of song Ya's attitude and was so angry that he punched him on the sofa.

"Everybody has to be reasonable, right? Steven. " Sonya looks at Steven.

Steven smiles bitterly and nods.

"There are a lot of excellent female singers, not necessarily..." Song Ya wants to cheat again, don't make the relationship too rigid, suddenly the mobile phone rings, the number is Maria Kelly.

"Sorry, I'll take the call."

He ducked into the bedroom and pressed the answer button, "aplus! Are you my friend? " Maria Kelly said.

"When Of course, isn't that nonsense? " Song Ya didn't understand why she was not happy there.

"Then why do you give my songs to other female singers?" She asked.

"Your Can't you sing? There is a rap element... ""I don't care. I like that song. I want to sing it!" She got angry. "Tommy, you tell him!"

It turned out that motura was by her side, "Er, aplus..."

"Well, Mary, she wants to sing that song. We have to do something about it."

"I want to What can I do? " Song Ya was baffled.

"In short Just try to find a way... " Motura's words are not clear, "you know, women's jealousy is unreasonable. She has heard Donnie's version of Empire State of mind Just, I don't know what's crazy. I'm not allowed to sign Oh! You don't fight, don't fight, don't do it! Don't drop things... "

Song Ya listened to the banging noise over there, and her mind was full of life.

After talking to motura, he went back to the two men waiting outside. "Where did we just talk about?"

Babyface didn't speak and handed over a check for $200000.

"I don't offend motura."

Babyface gave Steven a wink. He stood up with a sullen face and went to collect the check. However, there was no stirrup movement. Song Ya's fingers were firmly on the other corner.

"Well, otherwise, in May, I'll go to Atlanta for publicity."

"Yes, and the big professor and the n.w.a. album, the publicity has all come together."

"Hey, hey, awards..."

"In Hollywood, I have a female friend who worked with me in the MV. Yes, it's black..."
