Chapter 1074 It's Just Work

"APLUS..."

For the second finale, Barenboy called out when Song Ya stepped down, "I wanted to chat with you yesterday, but I was interrupted by the fundraising. Come to my room when you are free?"

"OK."

Song Ya could guess what Barenboy wanted to talk to him about. After BabaYetu's backstage performance, he trained a few chorus students. They probably didn't have time to follow the previous sentence, and then they gave up on lip-syncing. Shui, still grinning and looking around, although the chorus of hundreds of people can't make a big impact, but I don't want someone to start herding sheep in the second scene.

Maybe it was a bit heavy, which made those children cry.

"It's just a job. Singing is a job, playing the violin is a job, and conducting is a job."

Sure enough, when I went to Barenboy's lounge, the other party came up and said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself and everyone, APLUS."

"I just want to be perfect."

When I used to record albums, shoot MVs, and shoot movies, I always held the attitude that it was almost enough, but maybe it was because I didn’t have the confidence to conduct the work, or I barely counted it as my first skill that had to be studied and honed entirely by my own efforts? Song Ya was very caring, and said that old man, you cursed people much more cruelly than me during rehearsal, and now you are telling me this again? So he shrugged his shoulders and replied perfunctorily: "Sorry, I will pay attention to the way I speak next time."

"Our industry is the fastest to become famous, and it is also tolerant of geniuses..."

Barenboy also said: "Mozart tried to compose at the age of five, began touring in European countries at the age of six, wrote his first symphony at the age of eight, and became a court musician at the age of sixteen. I was recognized as a piano genius at the age of fourteen, and I was on the stage with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at the age of fourteen. My late ex-wife Du Pré became famous at the age of eleven, and stepped on the top stage at the age of sixteen... But the geniuses in this industry are also the fastest. Mostly due to personality and psychological problems caused by becoming famous at a young age, as well as drug abuse, and the madness and paranoia of artists who constantly compete with themselves... Kurt Cobain, the lead singer of the Nirvana band under your new company Geffen Records, committed suicide in 1994 He was only twenty-seven years old."

"I see."

Song Ya knew what the other party was worried about, and it was really for her own good, she said with a smile: "I won't, I actually don't have high demands on myself."

"Uh, not to let you relax in your artistic pursuits..."

Barenboy was afraid that the "genius" in front of him would lose his aggressiveness, so he hurriedly made amends, "I mean, of course you need to reach the peak with the highest standard during creative rehearsal, but when you have dedicated yesterday's high performance After a perfect performance at the level, don’t be too persistent. Everyone in the team has ups and downs. The following work should just be regarded as work. You must adjust your mentality in time and relax. The Czech leader and writer Havel said : When a writer is twenty years old...he reaches a more serious understanding of himself, begins to see the world with his own eyes, and finds his own way to bear the world and himself. Then, he almost Another decade to investigate, to figure things out, to unleash this primal experience of the world from every angle. It's been a big decade of progress, heroic self-confidence and relative bravery and optimism period..."

"I understand, I understand." Song Ya was taught sincerely.

"In short, don't put too much pressure on yourself, and stay optimistic."

"I'm optimistic."

Song Yaxin said that there is nothing optimistic about a time traveler, although in the eyes of outsiders, I often faint for no reason...

"Well, that's good..." Barenboy was slightly relieved.

"By the way, what Mr. Geffen said yesterday...is it safe to name the building?" Song Ya changed the subject.

"It looks like Mr. Bronfman Jr. has made up his mind."

Barenboy's mood improved immediately, "This solves a big problem for me, the Symphony Center and the City of Chicago."

He has been criticized by the outside world for being too far behind his predecessor Solti in terms of fundraising ability and philosophy.

Now suddenly there is a top rich man making a move, then all the previous problems will not be a problem, it is 50 million dollars. His fundraising effort was easy, the Symphony Center renovation was off the table, and the City of Chicago didn't have to worry about being pressured by the arts lobby to fill holes with public funds.

In fact, Song Ya did some mental calculation yesterday when she was listening in. There should be 10 million funds left? Anyway, he decided to play dumb.

This kind of donation is tax deductible, but it should not be needed this year. In fact, thanks to last year’s divorce property division, the losses of A+CN and inner city broadcasting companies, and high legal and security expenses, it is estimated that this year’s tax season can still enjoy Some tax rebates.

Besides, I have already donated 200,000 knives, and brought out BabaYetu. I have contributed money and hard work, and I don’t have the spare money to play after the super rich three generations. This place is renamed Bronfman Symphony. Not the APLUS Symphony Center...

When he was driving away from the Symphony Center, he looked at the musicians on the side of the road who were struggling to stuff the huge double bass into the car, and he couldn't help but smiled in relief. Indeed, art is just a job, and everyone leaves the stage. have a life of their own.

With a calm mind, Old Mike stopped the car at the red light.

There is an audiovisual chain store on the corner of the street, and the posters at the entrance have been replaced by a bunch of stars, including the thriving black girl rhythm and blues group TLC, as well as the up-and-coming female singer Pearl, the country queen Shania Twain, and of course Jiuliu. The artist of the year on the B list, the champion of album sales.

"Last year was a bit yin and yang..." he sighed in Chinese.

"What?" Linda, who was in the same car, naturally couldn't understand.

"It's nothing, this awards season is none of my business, is it?"

Song Ya asked Linda that he and his ex-wife broke up with Grammy, and because he was discredited, his ex-wife's popularity dropped a lot because of the birth of Rega, and he didn't release a new album in 1996...

"Yes, in fact, Universal Music has not done anything for you these two days. I originally thought that the 60 million signing fee would create a lot of momentum." Linda complained: "If it is replaced by Sony Columbia Records, such a big news ..."

"Stop missing Sony Columbia."

Song Ya interrupted her displeasedly, "After I finish the groundbreaking ceremony and go to Los Angeles to meet Mr. Bronfman, I will talk about it first. I will also make a good plan with Universal Music President Doug Morris."

The predecessor of Universal Music is MCA Records. It used to be a ticket booking service. Later, it acquired the American branch and Geffen Records and other large and small labels to squeeze into the top six. Naturally, its background is not as good as its old club. Sony Columbia's hype ability can't compare with the peak SBK when Daniel was in power before, and neither of these two places pays much attention to ranking.

Another problem is that the management of its singers is relatively chaotic. The suicide of Kurt Cobain, which Barenboy exemplified before, led to the disbandment of Geffen Records' super money printing machine Nirvana. The label record even withdrew from 2PAC, Marilyn Manson and other singers who caused countless criticisms for the company.

Universal Music's foreign distribution ability is probably the bottom of the six majors, and its ability to win awards is also in the latter class. However, because of the relationship between the old ticket booking company and the fact that most of its subsidiaries are rock singers, his family's specialty is concert promotion, fan organization construction and Domestic record sales and so on are very good.

In short, there must be gains and losses. Anyway, the record distribution field is not high, and the six big ones are having a harder time than the other. On the contrary, the top singers are still making good money. Song Ya is determined to work honestly under the new boss. After the five-year singer's contract is over, at least he can't form a life-and-death feud with Motura like before.

And finally with a new umbrella, after signing him with a lot of money, Universal didn't want to let tens of millions go to waste, so it would save his life anyway. The strength of Universal is not as good as Sony Columbia Records, but the influence of the Bronfman family in the United States is not comparable to the capital of Sony Columbia.

Of course, this also means that rebellion is extremely difficult.

"Huh? Where are you thinking, no rebellion, no rebellion... just work... I'm not born with a rebellious back, just take care of my A+ records."

Song Ya shook her head and said a few words to herself, then asked Linda, "What's the next job?"

"Metropolis Records needs to determine a foreign distributor, and we will start negotiations when we return to work tomorrow. Or according to your previous opinion, should EMI and Polygram choose a pair?"

Linda replied: "It is estimated that the results will be available soon."

"OK, remember that the premise of publishing it to EMI is to ask them to get rid of that Robert."

Song Ya never forgot about Robert who gave him watermelon, and chased him to the ends of the world.

Tomorrow will be the 3rd, the stock market will open, and all walks of life will go back to work. The first ones to leave Highland Park are Charis and Mira. Going to make up shots and dubbing for the Calamity of the Python, the destination of both of them is Hollywood.

"Goodbye! Honey!"

Just as Mira, who was carrying a guitar on her back, got into the car, South African Diamond hugged her and rushed into the car to leave, "I will go with Jared Leto on the 6th to meet up with the production crew of Apu's True Story." Xue Linfen appeared behind her: "Start the publicity schedule for the opening of the 24th film."

"OK."

Xue Linfen is really a bit of a pest now, she always finds excuses to appear by her side on various occasions, and she can take a breath when she leaves.

"You're very happy to see it. How about I talk to Mr. Linton? Anyway, I'm not the only producer." Xue Linfen continued to pretend not to leave.

"No, I can do it, I just think you like the job of being a producer..."

"Robb and Jon will let you go."

"Yeah, no problem, I'll hire a private early childhood teacher for Robb."

"Don't let Susie teach him swear words."

"Will not."

Xue Linfen went back to the house to explain things to the nanny, the governor's wife kept coming here without any excuses, and suddenly there was only Halle left...

Song Ya couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

No, there is also Sloan, this workaholic who is talking on the phone with A+CN's Gordon in the study, discussing the details of the groundbreaking ceremony on the 5th. draft, but...

There was already a brand new Twenty Knife on the desk.

"Just work, just work..."

Having failed in the price negotiation yesterday, he comforted himself and pocketed the money casually.
