Chapter 122 Tour Promotion Plan

“It feels so good to be back in Chicago.”

Song Ya lay on the boss's chair, with her hands behind her head, and let out a long breath of comfort.

Fergie got out from under the boss's desk, covered her mouth, opened the door and rushed out.

"What's wrong with her?" Hayden and Goodman happened to walk to the door.

"I just came back from Atlanta, so I'm not used to it." Song Ya replied, "So, how are our results this week?"

"Boosts from No. 87 to No. 4 on the Billboard Singles Chart, with Latin diva Gloria's Coming Out Of The Dark, Londonbeat's I've Been Thinking About You and The Wilson Sisters and Phillips' You' After re In Love. No. 1 in hip-hop.”

Hayden smiled and put a lot of documents in front of Song Ya, "Congratulations, sign it, it's all money."

"SBK's Wilson sisters and Phillips combination is still on sale?"

Song Ya really admires Daniel. An album has been sold for more than a year, and the singles in it can still occupy the top of the charts.

"The album is almost tens of millions sold worldwide, and the combined sales of all singles is more than 10 million. It is normal for an album of this level to sell for two or three years. We are not envious." Hayden said: "SBK is Last year's most successful record company, Daniel seems to be making a big move again, he has joined the pursuit of Janet Jackson, as long as he signs MJ's sister, SBK will not lack DIVA, and it can completely compete with all the old record companies."

"Jenny Jackson?" Song Ya had never paid attention to news in this area, "She wants to change companies?"

"Yes, her contract with her old club expired in May. Currently, many record companies want to sign her. The industry estimates that the signing fee alone is at least 20 million dollars." Hayden replied.

"Wow."

Song Ya sighed, just like what Hayden said, he is still not envious of these things. He lowered his head and read the documents intently. They are all large and small song long-term authorization contracts. , universities, enterprises, etc., the total licensing fee adds up to about 1.5 million knives.

Song Ya signed the signature briskly. He himself didn't expect Remember The Name to be so popular, "What's the matter with this restaurant chain? I remember that their main business areas are not in various airports? Generally, they don't put Remember The Name This kind of song with a strong rhythm, right?"

"They are open 24 hours a day. Many passengers who miss their night flight will go to his store and order a meal to sit on the table for the whole night. Maybe they want to use your song to drive people away." Hai Deng explained.

"WTF... There is still this kind of operation." Song Ya shook his head and laughed, and signed the document.

Affected by the attention of Remember The Name, his first single "I feel it coming" also received a second business. Siren chain coffee shops will buy this song and add it to the background playlist of stores around the world. Even Feel? It? Still, which almost caused trouble, was noticed through the Sony Columbia channel. NeXT Computer offered a high price of 400,000 dollars to use this single that has not yet been officially released as an advertisement for their new computer. Song.

"NeXT computer? His boss is that Apple computer..." Song Ya couldn't remember the name of the company's boss for a while.

"Steve Jobs," Hayden replied, "the ex-CEO who was kicked out of Apple, and he founded NeXT Computer Company after he got out of Apple."

"How about these two companies?" Song Yaxin asked if he should buy some of their stocks.

"It's not good." Hayden guessed Song Ya's thoughts, "If it wasn't for the poor performance, Apple would not drive away Jobs, the founder of the company.

Of course, after Jobs was driven out, their business conditions were even worse. And Jobs was also half-hearted about the management of NeXT computers, he entered the Hollywood bureau, and went to some animation company..."

"That's it." Song Ya put off her investment plan.

A total of more than two million dollars in income, signed and signed. Song Ya was in a great mood, humming a song and sent Hayden out, and then saw Song Asheng who was walking in a hurry, and his face collapsed instantly. The tax season in April is here. ...

Fortunately, we only need to calculate the income of last year. The income of the first four months of this year will be included in the tax settlement of next year. After Song Asheng’s series of reasonable tax avoidance operations, plus some investments that meet the tax refund conditions, some of them can be deducted. Tax charitable donations, companies and individuals are added together, and the actual tax rate that Song Ya bears is even lower than that of the average American middle class. Of course, the amount of tax paid is still far higher.

"Make no mistake."

Song Ya carefully checked the documents and recalled every income he made last year. Except for the cash he earned from taking away money to offset the bribes given to black DJs, basically every income must be taxed legally. He doesn't want to be caught by the horrible IRS (The Internal Revenue Service) is on the lookout.

"Don't worry, Boss." Song Asheng pushed the monocle, "This is the most important thing every year, and I won't make mistakes."

After Goodman's interrogation, Song Ya signed it carefully, and left him with a knife of more than 300,000 meters.

The phone rang, and he took the receiver, "Hey! APLUS! The trailer has arrived, come down and try it!" Delay's excited voice came from inside.

"So fast?" Song Ya went downstairs, one big and one small, two white RVs parked outside, and Di Lai, NAS and others were visiting inside and out, "Because you are in a hurry, so our company directly I sent the sample car over, but don’t worry, except for a little wear and tear, it’s completely indistinguishable from the new one, and there’s a discount.”

The staff of the RV customization company handed over a file board.

For two RVs, the big one was bought and the small one was rented. For this reason, A+ Records bought another F150, which cost more than 50,000 dollars in total.

The bigger one is smaller than the one in Mira in Yellowstone Park, and the decoration is also worse. The sample car is generally simple and easy to refit. There are many foldable and pull-out electrical appliances and daily appliances inside. I can’t wait for every inch Use the space. The big one can sleep five people in it, and the small one can only accommodate two.

Song Ya checked it again, confirmed that there was no problem, and signed and settled the bill.

"Uh, can I have another autograph?"

Song Ya signed him again, and he planned to run through Illinois and the large and medium-sized cities in four surrounding states in half a month with these two RVs, and get rid of the black DJs in these cities before the joint publicity in May.

"Cool!" Big A came over, "I can even move the mobile station here and broadcast your promotional tour live."

"Okay, you also know what not to say." Song Ya warned him.

For half a month, he plans to bring Fergie and NAS by his side. The two of them can be used as substitutes for himself, Delay, and Al. Half a month of high-intensity publicity is very tiring, and the iron can't even spin and maintain A high-level performance, and the opportunity to push them to the audience and DJ, even if it is a sweetener. This itinerary is not part of Sony Columbia's publicity plan, so except for the overlapping parts, a lot of money has to be paid by itself, and a lot of resources have to be done by ourselves.

"Of course, don't you worry about me?"

Big A fully agreed, and then asked the younger brother to go upstairs to move the radio station. He is the key person, and Song Ya can only compromise on many demands. For this promotional trip, he had to pay Big A a lot of money.

"Okay, hey! NAS!"

Song Ya called NAS, "Let's go upstairs for a meeting."

He called the people who participated in the promotional tour into the office, held a meeting together, confirmed the configuration and itinerary, and then called everyone to move the musical instruments and belongings into the RV. A younger brother of Big A will drive Big A's car as the lead, followed by two F150s dragging one large and one small RV, Big A lives with Delay, Al and NAS in the big one, Song Ya Live with Fergie in the small one.

On the second day, when it was dawn, all the personnel and the two hired RV drivers were in place, and the convoy slowly left downtown Chicago and headed north to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where they would stay for a day and a night.
