Chapter 33 Fascinated
The next afternoon, Song Ya was still lying on the bed, staring blankly at the mottled ceiling, not wanting to eat or move.
Ellie had been picked up by the 'silencer' in the morning to continue filming the MV, and she was the only one left in the guest room.
It has been more than two months since he traveled here, and he is basically in a fast-paced state, intensively re-understanding all aspects of the new environment, intensively studying, racking his brains in order to maximize the benefits of Apocalypse, and constantly running around.
Now, he can finally catch his breath. After the first apocalypse came, he was afraid that it would be the only time. When the second apocalypse came yesterday, he finally felt stable. There is no reason why there is no three...
Manor villas, high society, extravagant life, all the attention, as long as you don't do it...
And there is no Al here, so I can finally sleep well.
'Dididi...'
The pager rang, he looked at the number on it, and picked up the phone next to the bed, "Please transfer to..." The cheap hotel phone has no outside line, and the front desk has to charge for the transfer.
"Hey, I've already met Daniel."
Hayden's voice came from the receiver. He revealed to Hayden yesterday that he had prepared the second song, and after roughly discussing the relevant decisions, he flew directly to New York to meet Daniel, full of enthusiasm.
"You have to be mentally prepared. Daniel is very opposed to letting Mira sing this song. He has great opinions on Mira." Hayden spoke very quickly, "Daniel recommended another female singer under his banner."
"Did he agree to my request?" Song Ya asked.
"He agrees with you in principle to be the producer of this single, but opposes the inclusion of Mira in the audition..." Hayden replied: "But he didn't mean it, APLUS, you know in your heart that this is not a song. Regarding the first single, if Mira sings your single, then SBK will have to put Mira’s album on track within a year, which means at least ten songs have to be tailored for her. According to SBK’s It is said that Mira is very rebellious and difficult to deal with, and she keeps accepting movies, TV, commercials and catwalks, don't expect her to cooperate well with the publicity after she releases a special."
"What about releasing a mini-album? Five songs, the kind that can be done on one piece of vinyl." Song Ya still didn't give up. "Her mother told me that Mira gave up a lot of opportunities in movies and commercials for her music dream..."
"Are you fascinated by her!?" Hayden shouted into the phone, "Mira's parents soon went to the United States to work as a housekeeper and servant in a big director's house. When Mira was nine years old, she Her parents used the director's contacts to get her the resources of print advertisements, and then they kept taking commercials for her. They sent her into the modeling circle at the age of eleven. In the past two years, Mira was no longer accepted by advertisers. They let her develop into Hollywood, and she also accepted small supporting roles in B-level movies, and cameo appearances in TV series. Daniel said that she had to join the filming team in the second half of the year, and most of the performances consisted of walking around the beach in cool clothes. She is only fifteen years old now! You can’t believe a word from parents who treat their children like cash cows! How can a child who grows up in this family environment have a good personality!?”
"This..." Song Ya was dumbfounded.
"It's not clear on the phone, you'd better come to New York and have an interview with Daniel." Hayden suggested.
"I can't go." Song Ya said honestly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to resist seeing Daniel. Do you remember the last time we had dinner together? He played a song and stunned me with a few words Circled."
Hayden smiled bitterly, "Then you still have to come, Daniel didn't close the door, I feel he has something he doesn't want to say to me."
"Daniel told you what you just said? I don't think he can believe what he said. For example, for a company as big as SBK, they didn't prepare a single song for Mira during the two-year signing period? Then their approach is not very authentic. ..."
"You're really fucking fascinated by her!"
"..."
Putting down the phone, Song Ya lay back again,
That's what he thought yesterday. Since Mira signed with SBK Records, other record companies such as Old Joe Music definitely don't have to think about it. Cooperation with SBK is the only choice. But judging from the feedback received today, if SBK is unwilling to sing the song to Mira, then what's the point of him hugging to death on a tree? Simply put, without SBK, there is no way to get close to Mira, and without Mira, there is no need to choose SBK.
"If it wasn't for Michelle's request for the release time of the single, I'd just set up a record company myself. Isn't there usually only two or three kittens in Old Joe's music? When recording songs, outside hire a lot of musicians. Just look for it, it won’t delay things.” An idea popped into his mind, but soon he thought of a new problem, playing records in the south city would definitely not get rid of the gangs, and going to the north of the city would cost too much to play, so there was still a dilemma.
"No amount of money is enough to spend..."
He sighed, regained motivation in an instant, got up and cleaned up the litter that was scattered everywhere in the room, and went straight to the MV shooting location.
Today is the second day of MV shooting, and it is also the last day of shooting in this second-hand store. The rest will go to the studio to shoot. Ellie and Connie are seizing the last chance to concentrate on performing. Old Joe said That's right, every girl has a star dream.
At this time, the crew has already begun to dismantle various equipment.
"Honey."
When Ellie's performance was over, she flew into Song Ya's arms, "Are you here to pick me up?"
"Go back? Where?" Song Ya smirked.
Ellie buried her face in his coat, "Where we were yesterday, of course. "
"You little goblin..." Song Ya hugged her and flicked her forehead lightly.
The next scene happened to be Mira’s scene. The camera was facing the curtain of the fitting room. She was wearing a cool sling on her upper body. She stopped again in front of her face, and she smiled professionally at the camera. The smile dispelled the somewhat boyish and stubborn brows, and the girlish charm exuded. The brown-red long hair with a little bit of gold was as pure as gems. Green eyes, beautiful collarbones, and a little baby fat on the cheeks, it's really youthful.
"Uh... I just remembered, I can't do it today, I have to go to New York later, I have business to do."
Song Ya said goodbye to Ellie and found the 'silencer', "Can you check me out first before going to the airport?"
It was already late when we got off the plane, but Daniel knew that he had arrived in New York and immediately invited him to meet him at a French restaurant. This time, it must be a big meal.
Hayden was not there, there were only two of them. Song Ya said while dealing with the Provence roast lamb chops, "I am very grateful for the way you taught me how to live in the world. Without your words, I would not have been able to get the BMI done so quickly."
"I said those words not to teach you anything, but to win trust and make a deal." At this point, Daniel should have had dinner, and he was sipping red wine most of the time, "A business deal is concluded." Now, we all have to move on.”
"Yes, you are right."
Song Ya agreed, if the sales of singles in the second-hand store can really exceed one million copies, then this business Daniel can increase the income of SBK by millions of dollars, and under the covetousness of Warner Records, he chose to get his own strategy first. Success, "Let's move forward, about the new song..."
"The music is yours, and the lyrics are yours. Since you want to be the producer, I have no problem." Daniel put down his glass, "But Milla Jovovich..."
"You don't have to worry about me, I'm your fan."
"Haha, thank you..." Daniel smiled, "Well, I'll just say what I have to say, Mira, I don't think she will be a successful singer, and...she's not mine, do you understand me? She was not signed by me, her agent, that is, her mother, has a relationship with another senior executive of SBK, and that person intends to compete for the position of general manager of SBK in the second half of the year."
"I understand, I understand, you are also interested..." Song Ya picked up the goblet in hand and raised her neck, grasping the key point.
Daniel nodded slightly, "I have a big-selling vanilla ice, and I have the No. 1 Billboard, and maybe even the Wilson sisters and Phillips combination that won the No. 1 annual list. I have a very big advantage. I don't want to..."
"Extraordinary problems?" Song Ya wiped her mouth with a napkin, "Then what should I do to..."
"unless……"
"Unless? Uh... Let me think about it, let me think about it..." Song Ya thought for a while, "I have to make Mira's mother turn her back and support you..."
"It's close, and..."
Song Ya recalled the few times the two met, "Don't worry, I will also take care of Old Qiao, Little Lowry, and Pablo."
"APLUS, you are very smart, you are very smart..."
