Chapter 134 Premiere Invitation

Before Dre left, he warned not to reveal what he had just said to anyone.

The person was brought by Lao Qiao, and Song Ya was not sure what Lao Qiao had said to the other party, which caused Derry to communicate so shallowly when they first met.

Derry is a gangster himself, and N.W.A's Big E is a drug dealer. To find the gunman, he needs to travel thousands of miles to Chicago to find a sixteen-year-old boy he has never met for help?

It's unreasonable no matter how you think about it, what if you have a big mouth like Spike Lee? Song Ya thought of some scenes in crime movies, and he couldn't help but wonder if the other party had a bug hidden on his body and was helping the police fish.

"Hey, old Joe."

Although it is normal for a black rapper to cause trouble, it is still too serious to come to Chicago to find a gunman, especially if you find yourself here...

In the middle of the night, he was lying on the bed with his eyes open and suspicious, unable to fall asleep at all. He really didn't want to be involved in a certain murder case in the future, so he got up and dialed Old Qiao's phone, trying to find out.

"this late……"

Old Qiao drank a lot at night, and he didn't seem very sober when he answered the phone.

After a few pleasantries, Song Ya began to insinuate, "Uh, did Derry and the others tell you anything before they came to me?"

"I know what you want to ask."

Old Qiao seemed to know the inside story, "Derry is in trouble now, if you don't want to deal with it, just ignore him, if you want to deal with it, you can ask Mr. Kenneth for help."

"How could it be my turn to take care of his affairs?" Song Ya asked.

"Hey." Old Qiao laughed twice, "In fact, it might be a good thing for you. Forget it, are you leaving for New York tomorrow? Go to sleep, don't tire yourself out, the child."

"Okay, good night, old Joe."

Early the next morning, Song Ya yawned and got on the flight to New York. His performance at the Billboard Awards was approaching, and he had to rehearse with Mariah Carey.

"ABC's response to your acquisition of American Music."

Hayden next to him handed over an official document, "They said that the magazine cannot be sold to singers or record companies."

"oh?"

Song Ya looked at the document, "Because the readership group of this publication overlaps seriously with the judges group of the music awards..." Read a few words accordingly, "Is there such a thing?" He asked Hayden.

"Basically, if you think about it, who would subscribe to this niche classical music magazine? Members of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences are a good target group, right? Grammys are selected by them." Hayden answer.

"Is this a surprise? What if I can buy this magazine?" Song Ya became more interested.

"What are you going to do?" Hayden asked.

"Um……"

Song Ya thought for a while, "I now have four companies, A+ Records and A+ Copyright and Investment Management Company are definitely not good, A+ Pedal Company is counted, only A+ Audio Company, probably can be related to music magazines, and it is not a record. company."

"But you are the owner of the equity, and the general manager Delay is also a singer." Hayden reminded.

"The legal affairs of A+ Audio are handled by Will Gardner's law firm. I will let him try to see if he can bypass the ABC's regulation.

Song Ya said so, but he still didn't want to give up in his heart. This time he came to New York, his income increased again.

Sony Columbia Records will settle the first one million sales of I feel it coming this time. The average price of each record is 6.7 yuan. After deducting 30% of the distribution fee charged by the other party and some miscellaneous costs, the remaining about 10% Sixty-seven, 50% of the A+ record is distributed as the producer, and 17% of Song Ya's personal royalties and singer-producer income, which is more than 1.1 million, and Hayden Song Ashenggood Man and others distributed part of it, and actually got a little over a million dollars.

The one million Song Ya can't eat it, because the personal income of I feel it coming is mortgaged to the First Bank of New Jersey,

So it will be used to repay part of that three million loan.

The income from A+ Records is 3.35 million, and Hayden will not be able to share this money. Similarly, because this income is also involved in the mortgage, after repaying the 1 million loan and interest from the First Bank of New Jersey, the remaining Two hundred and thirty thousand.

Last time, the two million song licensing income was tossed by Song Ya to buy a house and a car to less than one million. Now he has about three and a half million working capital. In terms of debt, he still owes New Jersey No. 1 The bank is two million, and the A+ pedal company owes one million.

"Mr. Song, it's a happy cooperation. Our bank is still ready to issue loans to you."

The cooperation between the two parties went smoothly, and the people of the First Bank of New Jersey were very satisfied with Song Ya, a high-quality customer.

"It shouldn't be too long."

Song Ya shook hands with the other party and said goodbye. His Remember The Name sales momentum is very hot, and the sales volume of one million has already broken through, and there is no need to worry about collateral.

"So how much ammo have you prepared this time?" Will Gardner said on the phone, "Even if I can get around ABC's rules, AMERICAN MUSIC MAGAZINE will be losing money for years to come, and you have to Be mentally prepared."

"I know that I don't have a perfect idea of ​​the magazine yet. Everything depends on our opponent, that is, the quotation of the well-known investor Littman. We are not in a hurry to enter the market." Song Ya replied.

"OK, I understand."

As soon as Will Gardner hung up the phone, the cell phone rang. It was Eskub's number.

"Hey, Cooper."

"YO, Brother APLUS, I heard that Derry went to your place yesterday?"

Cooper opened his mouth to ask this, Song Ya was a little surprised at his well-informed, but there were too many guests participating in the party, it was really hard to know who revealed it to him, "Yeah, what?"

"It's nothing, just ask, be careful with that guy..."

As expected, Escouber said a lot of bad things about Dre and N.W.A, "They have been publicizing for months that I switched to Hollywood movies because I couldn't make it in the record industry, and they were full of lies. "

The sales volume of Cooper's last album was about 500,000 to 800,000. For N.W.A, this result is naturally not impressive. Claiming to have successfully driven him out of the record business made Cooper very passive.

This year, a female radio host who supported him was violently beaten by Dre. Although Dre was inevitably punished by public opinion and the law, it was always a shame for Cooper, who regarded himself as a street gangster. The grievances deepened.

"Does Derry want to find the shooter just to deal with you?" Song Ya thought in his heart, of course he would not say this.

"I can't get around them, I will free up my hands after the movie is released..."

Cooper finished speaking harshly, "Can you come? APLUS? Just think of it as a favor to my brother." Well, the real purpose of his long-winded calls is actually to attract celebrity guests for the film's premiere in July .

"Is it coming out in July? Where is the premiere?"

In Hollywood, Song Ya certainly wants to get in touch, but he really doesn't like Cooper's 6 million-budget all-black movie.

"Los Angeles, Compton."

"Compton?"

Compton is the place with the worst law and order in Los Angeles. Black gangs have been fighting there since the 1970s. The folk customs are more 'simple' than the Southside of Chicago. After all, there are interests behind the big shopping of gangsters in the Southside. Sometimes two gangs of NGers look at each other more while walking, "what"s up? What "s up..." They shot each other without finishing a few words, nothing else, the temper came up, that's the reason.

Song Ya went there once, and heard that the rugby team members of a middle school there made an appointment to reunite at the age of twenty-five, but when everyone was twenty-five, twelve of them were dead, and eight were in prison, And that rugby team only has about 30 players...

"If there is no problem with the schedule, I will go."

Song Ya decided to look at the situation first.
