Chapter 100 Late Night Show

Not long after, Hayden also received a call. Late Night Show wanted to advance the interview with Song Ya, just two days later.

"They probably want to take advantage of this hot spot and invite a black star to be there." Hayden analyzed.

Song Ya was a little uncertain, "Is it a good thing or a bad thing?"

"It shouldn't be a bad thing. Let's have a meeting. We have to give an answer there before twelve o'clock." Hayden looked at his watch.

Call Roberto Clivell, then dial Donovan, and turn on the speakerphone.

"Of course it's a good thing, it's David Letterman's late-night show! And it will definitely talk about the current all-meter focus event!" Donovan said loudly, "There is nothing to hesitate. At this time, even a top player like David Letterman People in the media also dare not dig holes for black guests."

Roberto Clivell suggested that Song Ya ask Motura.

Song Ya found a place where there was no one and called Motura.

Motura and Donovan had the same opinion, but he saw it more clearly, "You have already communicated the script with the late night show and the performance is almost ready. To be offensive, your list is not enough to match David. Letterman talks about big issues like racial discrimination. If you are not the fastest black star on his show, he probably would not choose you at this critical moment. This is a great opportunity, your luck is overwhelming APLUS, Perform well and get a high impression score in the black group of the whole meter."

Song Ya no longer hesitated, hung up the phone and asked Hayden to reply to the late-night show program group, informing her decision to participate in the interview as scheduled. Indeed, if I hadn't been scheduled to attend the late-night show in early March, how could the other party think of me at this time, Quan Mi has a lot of famous and charismatic black stars and politicians than me.

The next day, he and Hayden rushed to the NBC headquarters in New York's Rockefeller Center to participate in interviews and performance rehearsals tomorrow night. The whole process was very serious and modest. Since List is not enough, it must be made up by making a good impression on the other party.

Sure enough, the script of the interview has been drastically changed, some amusing jokes have been cut out, and many racial issues have been added. Of course, the beating incident is indispensable.

Song Ya called Michelle again, and communicated with her about the tone of her statement. In short, there was no room to look at it calmly or sit on the wall. For such a well-documented atrocity, he must stand on the side of the blacks and condemn the white police officers.

During the period, David Letterman came to attend the rehearsal, and Song Ya chatted with him a few words. Basically, the positions of both sides were the same.

In addition to hosting, David Letterman is also a very good screenwriter. He is very satisfied with Song Ya's professional attitude. And the speaking speed is too fast, I can only deliberately slow down the speaking speed, and then..."

He made a gesture of holding a cup to drink water, "This is the only way to delay time. So when you see me picking up the cup, you have to pay attention to the speed of speech."

"I will, thank you David."

On the evening of March 6th, Song Ya appeared on the late-night show on time. Through NBC, the four-minute performance clip was recorded in advance. There are slight flaws to avoid, but NBC helped him solve them through post-production sound modification.

"Today we have invited a very young star. He is only sixteen years old but has created several platinum singles. Of course, I will not admit that I am worse than him. I was already very famous when I was sixteen years old. The host is now...in our middle school."

The audience laughed.

The live band of the famous musician Paul Schaefer played a mixed cut from I feel it coming to the second-hand store and then to De Klerk.

"Hearing these familiar music, everyone can guess who it is? Yes, APLUS! Let us welcome him!"

Song Ya stepped on the rhythm of the background music,

Stepping lightly onto the stage, he first waved to the audience, then shook hands with David Letterman, then sat on the sofa next to his studio, moved his buttocks and changed to a more relaxed sitting position, and then watched the studio naturally after the opponent.

"Thank you for being here, the performance is perfect." David Letterman followed the script and began to lead the topic...

"So you grew up in Chicago, right?"

"Yes, I'm from Chicago."

"Tell me, tell me about your teenage life."

"Uh, very poor. I have been living in my aunt's house since I was a child. We are very poor. I remember once..."

Children from poor families are extremely talented, and audiences like to achieve achievements through personal struggle. Song Ya tried her best to suppress her nervousness and spoke calmly.

The older audience looked at him with soft eyes.

"Let's take a look at a photo." David Letterman took out Song Ya and Mandela's "grandfather and grandson relationship", and the photographer zoomed in. "When was this taken?"

"Well, this was a teen event I went to last year..."

Song Ya introduced the background of the meeting between the two, "Chicago...Dr. Michelle of the equal rights organization, she provided me with this opportunity." He mentioned Michelle, and Daniel's points talked about him But I never forgot.

"Have you two chatted? How is he?" David Letterman pointed to Mandela in the photo.

"In fact, I only chatted a few words (not at all). He is a very kind old man, but I can feel the infinite spiritual power in his heart. He is a role model of anti-racism. I love him like my grandfather..."

"I remember you wrote the song that scolded De Klerk, right? Didn't the South African government embarrass you?"

"Hahaha, I didn't scold you. I think I just offended me a little. Fortunately, they didn't seem to recognize me..." Song Ya patted his heart, and made a gesture of lingering fear after he escaped by chance. A good set of baggage.

Both men and the audience laughed.

"Speaking of discrimination, do you know what happened on the night of the third?"

"I know, I watched the news, and I couldn't imagine the anger I felt when I saw the scene of the police brutality in Los Angeles..."

Song Ya tried to slow down her speech as much as possible, looking at the camera lens with the green light on, Su Rong said: "It is the 1990s, less than ten years away from the next century, Dr. Jin's speech... in America It is absolutely unforgivable for such atrocities to occur. Although I am a young man of 16 years old, I would like to take this opportunity to appeal, please stop the discrimination immediately and punish the perpetrators of violence..."

"Very good, my colleagues and I also agree with your above remarks, ladies and gentlemen..."

David Letterman spoke emotionally about anti-discrimination thinking based on the standpoint of white people, "Although we are not a very serious program, we will still work with everyone to pay attention to the follow-up progress of this matter, please don't go away... "

Just ten minutes into the commercial, "Excellent performance." David Letterman shook hands with Song Ya, gave a few words of encouragement, and Song Ya left the studio hall.

"Perfect!"

Hayden, who was waiting outside, applauded him and said, "Your performance just now was a perfect score. The tears in the corners of your eyes, and the emotional chanting made me almost cry."

"Okay, this matter is over, I should go back to record songs next."

Song Ya shook her head and smiled wryly, she had too many things to do, remember the name hadn't finished recording yet, the revision of Empire?State?of?Mind's lyrics was a big project, and she had to go back to Chicago to participate in the protests in a few days, the production of A+ Pedal Company It's not on track either.

The response after the broadcast of the program was very good. He has always been the star of ratings, and he raised the ratings of NBC by more than three points in a talk show that was much less funny than usual. Of course, it is mainly because of hot issues, but the credit will still go to him.

Song Ya took the initiative to call Motura and thank him. After all, the opportunity to participate in the late-night show was provided by the other party.

Back at the hotel, his phone and pager kept ringing. Not only Michelle and other acquaintances, but also some friendly black singers called to express their support. He was filming in Los Angeles, where the atrocities took place, and there were more protests there.

Quincy Jones, who had met once at the Grammys, also called, and the two made an appointment to meet and chat again at an event in Chicago.
