Chapter 1073 Outline Spectrum
On the morning of January 2, 1997, several cars drove into Highland Park.
"Brother, don't be so nervous, it doesn't matter if APLUS can't speak."
Al held the steering wheel and smiled to Delay beside him: "It's you, who agreed to hold a wedding with me last year?"
"I'm so busy that I don't have time to sleep every day."
Di Lai smiled wryly, "Often O&M will call me at three o'clock in the middle of the night to report that the server is down, and I have to get up immediately... Wait for the website to go public this year, and then I can hire more people after the listing is done, so I have free time to prepare wedding," he said.
"To be honest, you might as well have continued to keep your singer appointments on A+ records. This time we switched from Sony Columbia Records to Universal. As long as the artists within the contract period have received signing fees of varying amounts, I A bastard who doesn't have a plan for a second college has a haha."
Al is very honest, "If you don't pick money, you won't pick white."
"Forget it, it's not suitable." Di Lai smiled, he didn't care much about that kind of small windfall.
The two brothers came down outside the villa, Al threw the car keys to the car boy, Delay gestured to his personal lawyer in the back car, and the two walked into the gate together.
"Hey, Al, Delay, he's having a meeting in the study, please wait a moment, take a stroll, it should be over there soon."
Xue Linfen knew the relationship between the two of them and Song Ya, so she went to work without saying hello.
"OK, Delay and I will go to the recording studio for a while."
Al used to be someone who couldn't get rid of Song Ya's lower berth. Entering Highland Park is almost the same as entering his own home, "You don't forget how to play the piano, do you?" He made fun of Delay Climb the stairs, "How about I test you?"
"Just kidding, I used to be a super rock rookie who was favored by SBK." Dilai patted his small beer belly, boasting a little self-deprecatingly.
"ha!"
"Igotyou, Igotyou on my mind..."
As soon as the two brothers walked out of the recording room on the top floor, they heard a woman's singing voice coming from inside. The voice was very sweet, but they didn't even get a single word in tune after singing a short section, which was also very powerful.
Fortunately, the singing stopped abruptly, probably interrupted by the conversation between the two.
The door was not closed, and I knew it when I went in. Mira was holding the guitar and laughing wildly with her head down, so it was Charis who sang just now. Dilai then thought of Xuelin Fen who was the hostess downstairs, and Harley playing with little Robb in the hall...
Four top-notch beauties with different styles are enjoying themselves together, I'm really envious of their real names!
Get up and say, "I'm sorry, Mira, Charis, you continue."
"Stop singing, stop singing, I'm tone deaf." Charis was a little self-aware.
"It's been a lot of progress," Meera said.
Is this a big improvement? How ugly was my singing before...
"What are you singing? Is it written by APLUS?" Al grinned and turned over the score in front of Mira.
"right."
The four of them played music in the recording studio for a while, until Xue Linfen came to inform.
"What's wrong with you? Didn't sleep well?"
Dilai called his lawyer to enter the study, and saw Song Ya sitting at the table in a daze with a listless face, his eyelids seemed to be unable to lift.
"The rehearsal of the symphony is too tiring, alas! I have to perform tonight..."
Song Ya yawned and waved her hands, "Let's get down to business, Alicia is just here."
"Oh, hello, Mrs. Flock, Ms. Sloane." Delay greeted the two serious and indifferent professional female elites in the study.
"Delay, uh, I'm sorry Argus couldn't..."
Alicia apologized again when shaking hands, "My law firm has merged with a local Silicon Valley law firm, and I believe it can win the appeal."
"That game must not be lost."
Delay has a lot of opinions on the service of this woman's law firm, but... there is no way, who called her the governor's wife? The most important words in person can only be emphasized in this way, and the tone is not good and too aggressive.
"I know, never will." Alicia solemnly promised.
"Sit down, let's get down to business first." Ms. Sloan spread out several documents on the table.
Finally, this day came. Delay looked at the documents that would allow him to officially get 15% of the shares of A+ Audio Company. He tried his best to restrain his ups and downs. When writing the text, he asked: "Isn't Goodman here?"
"No, he drew up the contract two years ago and kept it in my safe. Look, it's all dust."
After Song Ya finished speaking, she opened her mouth and yawned loudly again, "Sit down, don't even stand."
"By the way, I brought it to you."
Dilai took out some newspapers he had collected in his personal lawyer's briefcase, threw them to Song Ya, and walked to the window where the cold wind from Chicago poured straight in. He calmed down by looking at the scenery.
"What."
Song Ya picked it up and glanced at it. Some local Chicago morning newspapers have one thing in common that they all published their BabaYetu-related news last night.
‘The Chicago Symphony Orchestra, together with APLUS, dedicated a glorious hymn to all our believers, with the lyrics of the Lord’s Prayer in Swahili…’
‘May God be with us! Laity APLUS writes a new Gospel...'
This is basically the content, because these kinds of newspapers are missionary publications issued by religious groups, with low influence and basically no news value.
Last night's performance was very successful, but because of the niche nature of PBS's classical music program, the speed and breadth of its spread were not very good, except that A+CN then published a news report to help itself boast that it was former New York Mayor Dinkins Mentioned excitedly on his inner-city broadcast radio talk show, which the old man admired because the station itself had an evangelical background.
Speaking of Protestant churches, there are really many churches. For example, the church I grew up with belongs to the Baptist American African-American school. The church belongs to another Lutheran union, and Dingkins also belongs to the Lutheran sect, but there is a faction that is dominated by African Americans. Isn't there a saying that colleagues are enemies? Sometimes they compete fiercely for believers, sometimes they face the pressure of other more alienated religious competitors, and sometimes they cooperate sincerely.
Fortunately, everyone has a very high opinion of my Babayetu...
Because it is indeed too correct. At present, whether a certain church is in Africa or North America, it is very attractive to the black community. Therefore, for Christian churches, no matter which church is large or small, the creation of the American mixed-race singer is based on the long history of East Africa. The Gospel symphony chants sung in Vasili are very helpful for them to launch defense or offense. In this kind of battle for the "flock" in peacetime, every cultural advantage is very valuable.
Over the years, Song Ya has clearly realized that in the United States, if there is no ethnic or religious background, people may tattoo Japanese Chinese characters or Chinese characters on their bodies out of early adopters, show their individuality, or arty psychology, and hang some Chinese calligraphy in their rooms. The works are used as decoration, but few people take the initiative to tattoo the philosophical words of the Middle Eastern alphabet on their bodies, or hang some Middle Eastern calligraphy, even if it is actually Hafez's Persian poem praising wine.
They are all heterogeneous civilizations, the book of Huaguo is still too far away from their hearts, and the threat of religion is relatively insufficient, so that in history, Europe and the United States are often used as fable backgrounds to place beautiful imaginations, or to decorate exotic customs. Perfect topic.
And the other opponent is a thousand-year-old enemy in the field of religion...
In short, this time the conservatives will definitely not be able to find out their own faults, and have to read their own good.
Taking advantage of the time when Dilai's lawyer reviewed the contract, Song Ya was thinking wildly.
"No problem," said the lawyer after a long time.
Of course, no problem. After yawning for the third time, Song Ya signed it casually, then exchanged the sign with Dilai, and finally handed it to Alicia for confirmation.
DeLay's expression was calm, but he was trying to suppress his inner excitement. It was easy to see. "Is the listing going well?" he asked.
"It's okay, it should be the same people from Netscape, KPCB, Morgan Stanley, Yongdao..." DeLay replied: "The main risk is the lawsuit with the entire music website."
"My law firm will go all out." Alicia had no choice but to reassure.
After chatting for a while about the listing of the American music website, "Are you eating here at noon?" Xue Linfen appeared at the door of the study.
"I still have something to do."
Only Alicia refused, and she left in a hurry after finishing the contract.
"Are you coming to the groundbreaking ceremony with Peter on the 5th?" Song Ya asked her back.
"No, I don't like that kind of occasion." She dropped the sentence and left.
"By the way, I invited Jared Leto to come over as a guest on the 5th. Is it okay to show up at the groundbreaking ceremony?"
Xue Linfen took the opportunity to suggest, "The True Story of Apu will be drawn on Prefontaine's birthday, and it's been less than a month. He needs to be exposed."
"Free? That's no problem, come on, the more people the better."
This is a good thing, Leto is considered popular, and when the time comes, including himself and other singers who have re-signed the new A+ record, every entertainment news will definitely report an article.
After lunch, Delay, who was finally relieved, also left. He was going back to Silicon Valley to stare at the company. Other executives such as Yeremov also renewed their equity awards at the end of last year, but they will no longer In the case of opening your mouth, you will be given 5% or 15%. Song Ya was not yet mature at that time.
"What did the managing director of Littman Press say about our educational film program?"
Sloan was the only one left in the study in the afternoon, but he was powerless to earn twenty knives, so he continued to deal with official duties.
"He's not stuffy, he's interested, but he wants to talk to you again in person."
Sloan looked at him with a smile and said, "Is it because you have been thinking about those things all day long that you can discover the potential market in that area? Well, APLUS?"
"Be professional, Ms. Sloan, who swears that there is no talk about that outside of the transaction?"
Song Ya fought back.
"Okay, okay, the general manager of Littman Publishing House feels that you have compressed the schedule of lobbying the state education departments too tightly. They are not big publishing houses, and they have certain channels, but it is difficult to get a breakthrough in a short period of time, unless..." Sloane winked playfully.
"Unless there is a demonstration effect in a certain state?"
The two thought of going together, and they both laughed sympathetically, who else could be the breakthrough, Peter Flock from 'Acting Fast' said, "Let the general manager of Litman Publishing House No. 5 also come to the groundbreaking ceremony, and I will introduce our governor. Let the adults know him."
"By the way, what else did you and David Geffen talk about at night besides the little Bronfman naming the Symphony Center?"
Sloan asked.
"It's nothing, just chatting."
Song Ya shook her head, "Why do I, as a Chinese, listen to Jews showing off their history..."
"What?" He complained about the last sentence in Chinese, but Sloan didn't understand it.
"No, I wrote a gospel song, David Geffen and Barenboy are Jewish..."
Song Ya said.
"As soon as BabaYetu posted, plus David Geffen's previous speech, your current political spectrum can be clearly outlined by the outside world."
Sloan reminded: "A progressive person with a Protestant background, apart from believing in God, the difference between you and the conservatives in the United States is that you support gun bans. At least you have publicly expressed support for conditional gun bans, women's rights and various equal rights. , These are actually not a big problem for conservatives. You are still young, and this kind of thinking may be "corrected" in the future. Then the last point of disagreement is whether you support abortion. If you publicly express your support, then still offend them."
"Do you really want to pass this level one by one?" Song Ya continued to complain.
"Do you support it?" Sloan asked.
"Of course." Song Ya asked back: "I don't need to say anything extra, right? Shouldn't all those who support women's rights support women's right to choose freely?"
"At least in the United States, there is a difference. No matter what kind of religion, it is very important to complete the imprisonment of women, because religions naturally have the driving force to expand their followers, so they don't like abortion. Because most men have sex in their youth. They are relatively rebellious and will not be so close to religious life due to the pressure of life, so there is a domesticated and loyal believer mother in the family. When they reach middle age or old age, they will recall the so-called goodness of their mother's kindness, patience, piety, etc. One of the major reasons why I went to religion to find spiritual solace after the quality of life.”
Sloan said: "Women's freedom and emancipation have not come easily. Don't look at some moderate conservative ideas that disguise themselves very well, but they are already fighting back. They will not let women go. When they gain the advantage again, the situation will change. It will be much faster than expected. Do you think it will develop step by step from 51% to 52? No, it is very likely to jump directly from 51% to 90%.
"OK, OK."
Song Ya's eyelids almost drooped after a long speech, "I agree with you, but I need to take a good rest now, there is a performance tonight, go out, go out..." He waved away people, and they went to the sofa lie down.
"Come on, just stand there and swing the little stick for more than three minutes, how tiring can it be?" Sloan rolled his eyes and complained before his desire to speak was satisfied.
"If you don't understand art, don't make random comments, okay?"
"Wow, great artist."
"Juicer!"
"..."
"I want to increase the price!"
