Chapter 70 South Pacific

Harley lived in a hotel, but she was rarely there during the day. Even if she was so poor that she lived in a homeless shelter, she still had a few exquisite audition clothes in her bag and ran around looking for opportunities, and she still spent a large part of her meager income. Attending short-term training classes with famous performers, he still insists on physical exercise with a large amount of exercise every day to keep in shape.

"You work so hard, it's unreasonable not to be popular!"

Song Ya has seen a ruthless person who works a hundred times harder than himself. He knows that his aesthetics are a little different from this era, but it is definitely not that big. Harley is very beautiful, and she can even be called a stunner. She can get Miss America also fully proved this point. Even if you only take on vase roles, even if the youthful years spent in beauty pageants are not of much help to your career as an actor, how can you not be like this at the age of 24? If it weren't for the insurance that the Screen Actors Union bought on behalf of members, she wouldn't even be able to pay for medical treatment.

"The film and television industry is not like the music industry. There are very few opportunities for black people."

After so many years, Harley has seen it through, "It is true that now, regardless of film and television, black people will be given opportunities, but it is like a fixed quota given by white people. One or two black people are included in the crew to show that they are not racially discriminatory. Since those The quota is to please black people, and white people will naturally not give me this kind of mixed race opportunity, otherwise it wouldn't be..."

"The ass was patted on the horse's leg, right?"

"Horse what? Hahaha, your analogy is so funny..."

The two laughed and fought for a while. Song Ya knew that the flattering woman in front of her was quite unrestrained, and she had no intention of developing any deeper relationship, but she decided to help her, "When you go to Los Angeles, maybe I can give it to you." Find some opportunities." He told about his involvement in investing in two low-budget films for Xiao Lizi, "Which agency did you sign with?"

"CAA."

"If you'd like to switch to William Morris, maybe I can get you a role in those two plays." He gave her Hayden's phone number, "But maybe you won't need it, after Christmas , our MV will be aired on MTV, and your image will amaze everyone."

From night to early morning, Song Ya accepted several thanks from Harley, left the hotel with shaking feet, and went to the temporarily rented CBS (CBS) small editing room to participate in the editing of the MV.

Although Columbia Records has been sold to Sony by CBS, the cooperative relationship between the two parties has been maintained.

"APLUS, isn't your posture a bit inappropriate?"

Zack Snyder pointed to the small screen, and when Song Ya sang the line 'And the heat between your legs', she moved her hands slightly apart in front of her chest.

The editor on the side laughed.

"Can the audience smile knowingly?" Song Ya pointed to the editor.

"If the audience thinks of your age, there is a problem." Zack Snyder said.

"Okay, then lose it."

Song Ya is still very concerned about her own image, and it is really not suitable for this action at the age of sixteen.

The other part of the two people have no objection, this is a simple MV that couldn't be simpler, the first half of Song Ya's solo was shot from various angles, the second half is Song Ya and Hari's performance, the last picture, a The snake walks away from the ground, which is a metaphor for the allusion of Adam and Eve stealing the forbidden fruit.

Song Ya is still dressed in an open jacket with a T-shirt and jeans. The original singer's outfit is also imitating MJ, which will attract people's ridicule in this era.

Zack Snyder took a beautiful picture of Harley, and Song Ya's promise to surprise Quanmi is not empty words.

The resources of second-tier singers promised by Columbia Records, that is, resources at the B-List level, include MTV broadcasts on MTV, release of singles at major audio-visual stores across the country, exclusive interviews with radio stations with top audience ratings in major cities, appropriate posters and other advertisements The publicity, and the hype of the appearances at some events.

For example, in the NBA Christmas game, it is still the Bulls vs. Pistons, but this time it is the Bulls' home court. Song Ya will sit on the side of the court, which is where Lowry sat last time, and Bo will take the scene.

"Don't you think about cooperating with the hype? If you appear on the scene alone, there is no topic, and the entertainment media will not give you a page."

After leaving CBS, he entered the headquarters of Columbia Records. The person in charge of the promotion of the single release said: "We can find a 16- or 17-year-old girl singer or actor, and join hands with you to hype the romance. It is cheap and effective."

"Forget it, I have a girlfriend." Song Ya thought of Mira and felt a little guilty.

"The topic between you and her, can you..." the person in charge of publicity hinted.

"Absolutely not. I signed a non-disclosure agreement with Columbia Pictures, and I won't let the relationship be exposed until the movie is released. I also stated this in the contract with your company." Song Ya refused.

"What about those TV interviews? Did you decide not to do it anyway?"

"Unless the first-line shows, such as Saturday Night Live, Oprah's talk show, etc., although I only have B-List resources, my agent suggested that I still measure myself according to A-List standards. I won’t cooperate. And when the next semester starts, my participation in publicity activities will be greatly reduced.”

"Okay." The person in charge of publicity looked at Walt helplessly. "In this case, I really have nothing to do." He complained.

"It's just the first single, just follow what APLUS said."

Walt doesn't care, Song Ya is under his banner, but the relationship between the two is basically equal. "Singer-songwriters should maintain a high style, and it's not suitable to play idol singers."

In New York, we kept discussing the promotional strategy and itinerary, the single cover, the release of the official MV, etc. Unknowingly, the time came the day before Mira's birthday.

Hayden sent his birthday present, a beautiful Swiss handmade gold enamel music box.

"Well, my biggest expense now is picking up girls. There is no entry, only exit."

Song Ya signed a check for more than 16,000 dollars in distress.

"Next year, when Mira's movie is released, she will be a star in music, film and advertising. William Morris predicts that she will at least not be lower than Brooke Shields." Hayden is full of hope, "Even trying to touch Madonna's taillights It's not impossible, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford the gift by then."

"Fine."

Song Ya put the gift in the bag, "I've changed the course of history."

"What historical track?"

"nothing."

"Remember to write another song for Mira."

"I know Hayden, don't force me, or I will fire you."

"By the way, our next brokerage contract."

"Hehe, you should be mentally prepared, the negotiation of the next contract will be very difficult."

"Don't, APLUS, it's because I introduced Daniel for you!"

"See you."

He got rid of Hayden and walked into the VIP lounge of the airport alone. This time he went to Fiji, and Hayden bought him a first-class ticket.

Columbia Pictures was very nervous about his visit this time. In addition to helping Song Ya keep it a secret from Mira, he also sent someone to pick him up at the airport, cover him all the way, transfer to the speedboat rented by the crew, and send him directly to the shooting location. The work permit has already been completed, and naturally, it is still a pseudonym.

In the evening, accompanied by the slightly fishy sea breeze from the South Pacific, Mira saw Song Ya smiling and watching her on the narrow path back to her residence after filming.

"Honey!"

The girl was overjoyed and threw herself into Song Ya's arms, "I knew you would come, I knew it." She was moved and cried again.

"Let's go back to the house. To surprise you, I was almost killed by mosquitoes outside." Song Ya smiled wryly.

"hug me."

The girl pushed her feet hard, jumped up and hung on Song Ya's body.

"You seem to be getting lighter."

Song Ya easily hugged the princess and walked to Mira's residence.

"I'm not used to the food here."

Mila's breath became warmer and warmer, and she moved her mouth close to Song Ya's ear, "We're going to have a big fight tonight." She said boldly, but she blushed after saying this, and buried her head in the bed shyly. In Song Ya's neck.

Song Ya grinned grimly.

However, when he saw Mira's dark residence from a distance, he thought of the scene on his birthday, "It seems something is not quite right."

"What's wrong?"

"Go in by yourself first, I'll hide here for a while."

"Why?"

"Hey, listen to me, you go in first."

Mira jumped off the ground and walked into the residence alone. Sure enough, the lights suddenly turned on, 'Surprise! ’ There were loud congratulations from men and women.
