Chapter 582 Black Santa Claus
Thinking about it later, Song Ya felt a little cold in her spine. What would happen if she had agreed casually at that time? That was definitely the tentative words of two senators of the Party. She deliberately attacked her when she was chatting and her emotions were relaxed. The intention was very sinister. They were both military and were deeply supported by the Military Industry Federation and the All-Meter Rifle Association. How could they speak for outsiders on the import of civilian weapons?
Forget it, Bahn's chemical equipment sales and textile import quotas are related to his own interests. If he also expressed his inclination to China on the issue of completely unrelated weapons imports, then he would likely be explored by the senators who are always nervous about struggle. Conservatives who have a close relationship with powerful departments are very cruel to the traitor.
"The quota issue has been settled. At the beginning of next year, the negotiations will probably bring about three percent of the increase in China's textile quota."
A+Clothing President Scott called and said, "It's better than we expected."
He only set his target for two percent, which was Song Ya who deliberately mentioned five-eighth, and he was very satisfied with the result.
“How is the business this year?”
It has come to the end of October 1994, and he is about to start summarizing this year's business activities.
"Very good. Our long-sleeved T-shirts were sold out several times, and the sales of short-sleeved T-shirts have doubled. There are also luminous belts. The sales are not high, but the profit is good." Scott said excitedly, "We have withdrawn the autumn and winter clothing product line and focus on T-shirts. The production and marketing costs are well controlled. The report at the end of the year will be very beautiful, boss."
"very good."
He didn't know if his subtle expression on his face was hidden from the two senators at that time, but judging from the results, they should have put aside their worries about themselves, otherwise they would not refuse to lobby for the company's transfer of interests. Especially McCeon, who had just escaped from a similar trouble for a few years, was very cautious.
To give me a thumbs up for my response, Song Ya hung up the phone with satisfaction, the clothing business is booming, and the film and record career is extremely successful. I just drew my life at Beimi Theater, with a box office of 65 million yuan, and the overseas box office is the same, with a total global box office of 130 million yuan. The movie soundtrack has not released a single, and more than 4 million have been sold in three months of its launch. Be what you wanna be the four-week champion. The subsequent ranking says goodbye is one-week champion, and it will be waiting for the end of the year to settle with Universal and Sony Columbia Records.
The only drawback is the first album released for William Adams and others. Although the record quality is good, the market just doesn't buy it. The bandit funk music without banditry has not even been filled with the waves. Even with the strong support of the Chicago Conference, it cannot sell more than 500,000 copies.
A+ Records and Sony Columbia Records later summarized the reasons, but the lack of claws and singles that can create hot topics, even if the overall level is good.
A good example is Mariah Carey's first album with the backing singer Trey Laurenz. It has a strong production lineup, diva personally combines the sound, has a unified style, and is medium to top, but when it comes to the market, it will be mediocre and cannot attract any desire for buying.
"The November Mon's album resurretion must be kept close and not make any mistakes again. I don't want William Adams' failure to be repeated."
He complained to Linda beside him, "He spent a million signing fee."
"I see."
Linda is more confident about Mon's new album, "The topic of his new songs is at least impossible."
"Yes, but that's what I'm worried about."
As a few jazz rappers, Mon has been dormant since joining A+ records in early 1993. In this new song, he continues his usual position and criticizes gangster rap, especially gangster rap represented by the West Coast Death Lieutenant Records. After Sugnett and his bragging father turned against each other at the end of April, the mutual diss of the East Coast gangster rap circles have reached a stage of full-scale war. Suddenly, such a singer who scolds the East Coast rap together appeared in Chicago in the Midwest. It is conceivable how much the response will be.
The topic has come, but the pressure in all aspects will suddenly increase. Sognett, who is a death row record, is not afraid of the street fans who are gangsters rap.
"Mon immediately added security personnel to him after he posted the song, and he should pay more attention when leaving Chicago to run for promotion." He reminded Linda: "What should you say and what should you not say, and what you say in the place..."
"I will tell Mon that Dion Wilson and Al will accompany him to the whole time to carry out publicity and promotion." Linda nodded: "Where are you? Will you publicly support him?"
"The singers under it include Ferge, who sings hip-hop, William Adams, who sings gangster funk, and Mon who rambles gangsters. I'm not good at expressing my opinion on this aspect, but I can support Mon himself appropriately." Song Ya said: "I greeted Daniel. When it was released, try to downplay Mon's A+ record contracted singer background."
“Ok.”
Linda wrote down one by one, "And..."
"Dear!" At this time, Mariah Carey, dressed like a red envelope, ran in from outside with her stylist excitedly, "Quick! Change your clothes, it's your turn to play."
"Okay OK."
He had no choice but to take the Santa Claus suit, leather boots and pointed little Red Riding Hood handed over by the stylist, and he was also dressed in red and had to change it all.
It's already snowing in Chicago, and Mariah Carey is here to shoot MV for Christmas albums.
"Wait." The makeup artist put on his face. Because Mariah Carey insisted on letting him play Santa Claus in MV, Sony Columbia Records was afraid that a black Santa Claus would have a negative impact on album sales, so he specifically asked the makeup artist to cover up his skin tone into the bronze color of white tanned.
"Actually, there is no need to be such trouble. Haven't you heard of it? According to the latest research results, Jesus himself has a very dark skin color, so it is reasonable for Santa Claus to have a black spot, right?" Song Ya joked.
"Haha..." The white makeup artist didn't do anything and continued to work.
"That's right." Linda agreed very much, "Why can't we play fairy tales in white? In the future, not only Black God, Black Pharaoh, Black Santa, but also Snow White, Cinderella, and Mermaid can also use black actors."
"Uh..." Song Ya made up for the picture and nodded in sweat, "You're right."
Put on his clothes, put on his hat, and put on his white beard and white eyebrows. He and Mariah Carey walked out of the dressing room with two red envelopes. The crew outside was already waiting.
i dont want a lot for christmas
There is just one thing i need
i dont are about presents
underneath the christmas tree
"Each department is ready to start shooting!"
On the edge of the snowy forest, the two happily rushed into the Chicago snow decorated with Christmas trees and colorful light bulbs, running and fighting in front of the camera.
The album and mv were planned in a very hasty manner, and there was no specific script. Mariah Carey held up the snow in both hands and 'spoiled' on Song Ya's face, so he also fought back.
i just want you for my own
More than you ould ever know
make my wish e true
all i want for christmas
is you
"Please pay attention to the lip-syncing, Miss Kelly." The director reminded her that she had a lot of fun.
All i want for christmas is you's accompaniment floating on the set. She was infected by the festive atmosphere on the set. She sang and danced around Song Ya like a heifer, which was very funny.
"Pick it up, pick her up aplus!"
Song Ya skillfully picked up her fiancée with a princess hug.
Well? Why is it getting heavier? It must be that the Christmas costumes are too heavy, it must be...
all the lights are shining o brightly everywhere
and the sound of hiddenns
laughter fills the air
and everyone is singing
i hear those sleigh bells ringing anta wont you bring me the one i really need - wont you please bring my
baby to me
