Chapter 234

In addition to pianists and other musicians, there are about a dozen harmony singers and one or two heavy accompaniment singers. Maria Kelly is very busy, and the recording room is full of people. Song YALAO has no chance to be alone.

"The battle for Americana magazine is a bit unexpected. It's like a brilliant and anticipated event. It's just a good start and then it's over in a hurry. With the announcement of Littman group's transfer of the magazine to a new company composed of new singer aplus former magazine editor Shirley Fleming and defamerican record company owner Rick krubin, the two sides of the event suddenly remained silent. In the face of the reporter's request for an interview, the main figures on the victory side all refused without exception. "

"Quincy Jones and Russell Simmons, two record industry giants, accepted the failure. They said that the reason for the bidding failure had nothing to do with money. Instead, they found that this century old magazine could not afford their new ideas and plans for music magazines."

"They announced that they would not give up their efforts to enter the publishing industry. Soon, a brand new magazine, vibe, will be launched "We're going to focus on hip-hop and other forms of music."

"This is the new office for Americana music," says Tribeca, in an old multi-storey building

Song Ya kicks a broken piece of wood on the ground to the corner, and a thick mark will be drawn on the wooden floor.

"Cough." Shirley Fleming covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief. "All right, let's get out of here. It's too dirty."

"It doesn't matter, Ms. Fleming. The start-up funds are in place. A simple cleaning and decoration will make a new look."

Song Ya held back her smile and walked out with her elbow. "I promise you will be a very good office location next time you come here."

The 500000 starting capital of the magazine office is allocated by the equity proportion. Song Ya needs to put forward 255000, and the magazine will be published in the form of a monthly magazine, "I will let the deputy chief editor to focus on the decoration. You can rest assured."

"Ah, huh?" Deputy editor in chief is a professional from Chicago that song ya got through headhunting company. Shirley Fleming is very vigilant. "All office layout must be approved before construction."

"Of course, that's for sure."

Song Ya said with a smile, "it's very cold in New York recently. I'm afraid you're working too hard, Ms. Fleming."

"Still hold on to him," said Fleming. By the way, aplus, what are your suggestions for the first issue of the magazine in 1992? "

"If the cover needs to be changed, the boring live photos of the grey haired performer or conductor are too much for the audience. Maybe we can focus on the younger artists."

Song Ya said: "Miss Saigon's heroine, Leia saronga, is very suitable. She is young, beautiful, Asian and has won the Tony prize. Maybe there is an exclusive interview with her on the inside page. Some people will like to see it, and the style is also good. What do you think, Ms. Fleming? "

Song Ya saw last time that Shirley Fleming liked the heroine of the musical and took the initiative to fall in love with her. At the early stage, he didn't want to have big differences with the other side.

"I think so. Her personal experience is very inspiring."

Shirley Fleming walked to the car. "I'll have her invited. I hope the deputy editor you choose won't drag me down. And, you have to remind rycrubin, I heard that he was the owner of Americana music magazine at high-end parties in New York

"Ha ha, he is really the boss, but only one of them. Well, I'll say hello to him. As for the deputy editor in chief, I will ask him to visit you on the upper east side as soon as possible. "

Song Yamu sent Shirley Fleming and her personal consultant to the car and leave. "In any case, I have my own mouthpiece now. It's a classic magazine with a history of over 100 years, and its style is very high." He said to Hayden beside him.

"Yes, and the audience will have an impact on you in the award season."

Hayden was also satisfied, with a smile on his face all the time. "If it wasn't for Litterman, you might not have gotten such a high-profile magazine so soon."

"It's not that the guy didn't make money, but it's not bad. Why didn't he agree with Quincy Jones and Russell Simmons's 12 million bid?"

This doubt has been lingering in Song Ya's mind.

"Who knows what the tycoon really thinks?"

Hayden didn't know, "maybe you can get the message out by playing golf with him in the future, but the personal relationship of rickrubin and Shirley Fleming and her friends must have played a decisive role."

"Come on, I can't play that."

Although the rich in the United States are very keen on the sport, other celebrities from the black class, except sports, sometimes think that they are cutting their heads into the white class. Moreover, Sonya doesn't like the experience very much. After playing with Jordan, he was involved in gambling, and the experience with Littman was not very good and lost too badly.

In mid January, fujiby gave the list of singers in 1991. Song Ya ranked 17 in the singer list for more than 30 million years. The top stars were MJ brother and sister, Madonna, Garth Brooks, Paula, gunflowers, Maria Kelly, Wilson sisters and Phillips."Now the media treat you at the A-list level. I didn't expect that you came to this position not by music, but by making money."

Hayden urged: "your album seems to be only two songs short. Do you really have to wait? Or put that pure music in. "

"No, in that case, the music styles in the album are too different."

After all, it's not the right time for the black people to listen to the blues or the country music when they are listening to the music , and I.... "

Show me the money, remember the name is a hip-hop rap with strong rhythm, ihateuiloveu is a sad love song, ifeel it coming is sad but the lyrics are a little yellow, the trumpet lyrics are also a little yellow but very happy, feel it still has beautiful melody but equal rights songs, plus the very special style of Empire State of mind, his Apocalypse song style is too messy, which is not to attract buyers Good strategy at home.

"It doesn't matter."

"Your songs win by quality, and I don't think the American audience will mind taking one at home as long as it is combined with various awards and publicity methods," Hayden said

When the two returned to Tribeca, yelemov told Sonya that he had been shortlisted for the best rap singer at the Grammy Awards for "remember the name." his main rival was llcoolj, the number one figure on defjam records. No way, there are only two rap awards. The other is the best rap combination award. Because song Ya's status to delay and Al is not high in the rememberthename, it is not considered as a rap group by the jury.

He and Maria Kelly's empire state of mind were shortlisted for best single of the year.

"Simmons won't let me stop buying the magazine this time, even if it doesn't stop me from buying it."

Song Ya calls babyface and Steven again to canvass for herself.

The two men agreed very happily. After all, they had already agreed in the last transaction. However, song Ya was keenly aware of the change in their tone. Last time, they promised to help with their influence. This time, they agreed to vote for themselves. That's all. It seems Quincy Jones and Russell Simmons are playing their part in black music.

"Didn't Shirley Fleming promise you'd help during the awards season?"

Hayden reminded.

"Is it really up to white people to win rap awards?"

Song Ya pondered for a moment, "fxxk, mind his, anyway, the voting is just like that, in a word, more than whose people." He called Shirley Fleming.
