Chapter 126 (1/2)
It seems that Philby is warming up the Empire State of mind. Motura has scheduled his premiere at the all meter Billboard Awards in May. At the same time, BMI Association will announce awards. Sony Columbia expects Sonya to be shortlisted for one or two creative awards. As for whether he can win the prize or not, it depends on luck. Songya is not a signed singer. They can't do their best in public relations.
Song Ya's only sure prize is the Soul Train Music Award for black people, which is part of the last deal with babyface. Unfortunately, the next one will wait until next year.
”The joint publicity with n.w.a. and university professors, an award party, an award ceremony, two songs on the billboard, and the recording work of trumpets, which was so busy that it exploded...” Song Ya simply calculated that it would be no easier than this half month's tour.
They managed to get rid of the barbecue. The residents nearby smelled the barbecue and thought it was a stall vendor. So they came to the queue with money. After learning that it was a black singer's treat, they came back home with some grills and meat. They also provided free meat chops not far away, which greatly transformed the music festival into a barbecue competition More and more people joined the party, and even attracted the local police.
”These red necks...”
Song Ya asked feiji to go and get some pieces back. After a bite, the meat was fragrant. He hummed with satisfaction, ”the ribs are really well baked. The sauce seems to be made by ourselves, and the meat is fresh. Our supermarket has lost the goods.”
”Hey, aplus, I heard you're driving back to Chicago from Indianapolis?” Big a led a local black DJ to meet him. He looked at the police officer who had just left and asked.
Song Ya nodded, ”yes, this tour is in a hurry.”
”I don't recommend it.” The other side kindly reminded, ”that road is the main way to smuggle guns into Chicago's south city. The road patrol is strict in checking, and is very unfriendly to black people. Moreover, they have the performance pressure of traffic fines, so they will have nothing to look for.”
”Does the U.S. play the same game? Eh Also? ” A thought flashed through song Ya's brain.
”Aplus, why don't we fly back to Chicago in Indianapolis and give it to the driver to drive back.” Big a suggested, ”that road is not peaceful indeed.”
”Just two or three hours' drive...” Song Ya thought and agreed, ”OK, safety first.”
Rural America has always been dominated by white people. This warning reminded him. He stood up and observed the sea of cowboy hat troops in the field. Then he went to find Daley and Al, ”change the plan temporarily. Don't perform the name. I'm going to sing ifeelitcom.”
”Why?” Al doesn't know why.
But the white man, delay, realized, ”OK, I'll talk to the organizers. Anyway, the audience here won't like rap much.”
In the country music circle, the most popular one is gas Brooks. This country singer has achieved diamond (more than 10 million sales) last year and the year before last. This year's new specialty is coming, and it is expected to achieve diamond sales without any problem.
Of course, there is almost no intersection between country music and hip-hop music, and there is no competition between them. However, the purchasing power of white people still makes song Ya salivate. After all, they are the mainstream audience. Nowadays, even top black singers, such as MJ, Janet Jackson, Maria Kelly, Whitney Houston and so on, are actually singing what white people like from the perspective of their basic music style.
Song Ya is the biggest star in Riga. In addition, he is careful not to offend the local people. The audience is very proud. After a piece of ifeelitcom, the audience is very enthusiastic.
With the improvement of singing skills, he has almost mastered the song.
At the end of the performance, the music festival was not over, and the team set off again for the next town.
On the weekend, they flew back to Chicago from Indianapolis. In the evening, the three appeared at the Bulls' home court.
This New York Knicks is not a rival of the bulls. The audience's mentality is very relaxed. However, Spike Lee, sitting on the sideline, snatched a lot of shots. He cheered for the Knicks in a hurry and harassed the bulls in the field, trying to help a little bit.
”Why doesn't this guy stay in New York?” Eyre in the aisle make complaints about the famous black man Tucao, Spike Lee is a regular guest on Madison Square Garden, and Lakers fans Nicholson, the white star Nicholson, is also called the two east side mascots.
”Who knows, Hayden, give me the phone.”
Sonya wants to come to her cell phone and calls Halle Berry. ”Harry, I see Spike Lee.”
Spike Lee is an important person in Hollywood for Hally. As soon as she went to Hollywood from New York, she was liked by the other party and participated in making his own film, directed and acted in jungle fever. It was also there that she met the actor Wesley Streep, and then made another film. In that group, she was beaten up for quarrels.”I got the news in the magazine, Cannes liked him very much OK, I'll ask for you. ”
