Chapter 1506 Consolation

"It's no wonder that all kinds of pastors, rabbis, lamas, spiritual masters, and Middle Easterners have been wandering around him all these years..."

MJ still refuses to let go of the copyright library. Song Ya is naturally furious. For this day, he has even arranged for the chairman of Sony in advance!

Disappointed and furious, he got into the car and sprayed MJ furiously along the way, his mouth kept smelling, "The mind is empty and confused, and the brain is a mess! I should have arranged for someone to lurk beside him and brainwash him like David Geffen did before. !"

"Is it late?"

Song Zecheng accompanied Xiaoxin with a smile on his face, "Why don't I find a Taoist priest and try to recommend him? He hasn't tried a Taoist priest yet, has he?"

"Okay! Do it properly!"

After years of fighting, Song Ya's willpower has been tempered to be extremely tenacious. As long as there is still a possibility, she will never give up. Although the frustration is very strong this time, MJ may not change his mind in the future, right?

Maybe it's because I've been fighting with mall veterans for the past few years, and I didn't get used to MJ as an extremely emotional artist for a while. After Song Ya's anger subsided a little, she continued to think unrelentingly, "Also, his family is easier to deal with... "

"His family can't affect his business..."

Song Zecheng's glasses shone coldly, "Unless he can manage his estate."

"Die early!"

Song Ya blurted out, of course, this sentence was angry.

"Back to Chicago?" asked the driving muffler over his shoulder.

"Go to Amy's."

It's all here, I'm in a bad mood, and it's not worth flying around to make myself and my subordinates too tired.

The live-action fairy tale movie Enchanted starring Amy has finished filming. This is the first trial of the live-action fairy tale movie strategy. It is related to the life and death of the leading Linton faction in Disney. Although the production cost is only 80 million, Touchstone Films The level of concern of the industry, Bowei Films, and the head office of all the senior management even surpassed that of Pirates of the Caribbean 2, staring at it tightly, for fear of backstabs from within.

So she also had to stay in Los Angeles and devote herself fully.

'Hey! I just met lure, and this is crazy, But here's my number, So,

Call Me Maybe...'

It was already midnight, and Amy's house was still brightly lit. There was faint rumors from upstairs that she had already recorded the song Call Me Maybe that I wrote... and copied for her.

"Um?"

Song Ya frowned and went straight to the second floor.

When he opened the door, his brows widened. It turned out that Shakira had arrived. She and Amy were wearing pajamas, singing karaoke with the soundtrack of Call Me Maybe.

The music in the room was very loud, and the two hot moms with bare faces and unkempt hair were singing crazily while doing all kinds of exaggerated and funny stage moves, and they were so excited.

"ah!"

Amy was the first to notice someone coming in, and screamed in fright, but soon saw that it was her own man, "Honey!?" Immediately, she threw herself into Song Ya's arms with a giggling smile.

"Really annoying!"

Shakira probably thought that the two of them were deliberately arguing to lure her over to play a multiplayer game, "Boys and girls!" She scolded, and quickly picked up her makeup bag and rushed to the bathroom.

"Today is the Lady's party." Amy explained with a smile.

"hey-hey……"

Song Ya picked her up and followed Shakira, "She is beautiful without makeup, why do you need to put on makeup so late?"

"Not young..."

Shakira pursed her lips and glanced at the mirror, then secretly wiped lipstick on her lips with her ring finger.

"Oh, by the way, congratulations on getting the theme song for next year's World Cup."

Her career is developing very well, especially in Latin countries, flying around, busy with commercial performances, tour commercials, Song Ya put Amy down, and hugged each other.

"Thanks."

Shakira pretended to be disgusted and replied: "Although the song Call Me Maybe you wrote for Amy is very catchy and has a taste of Avril Lavigne, but isn't it too drooling?"

"Amy can't sing difficult ones." Song Ya replied that other songs written by Disney for Amy were more difficult to sing than Call Me Maybe.

"She was helping me practice singing just now." Amy smiled: "Teacher DIVA...I am improving very quickly."

In the mirror, one is black and the other is white, one is tall and the other is short, Song Ya buried her head in smelling the two fluffy blond hairs, "Okay, don't mess with it, anyway, it will bloom again later, hehe..."

Eloquently urged Shakira who was busy, and couldn't wait to push Amy onto the washstand.

Tonight he was brutal and had a good time.

But still not enough.

Not enough consolation for the disappointment and anger suffered at MJ's...

"Hayden, let Doug prepare, I want to go to Warner Records today." After Meimei fell asleep, he called Hayden.

Go to bed with your rights! King of kids!

Compared with me Music Empire? Hmph, do you have the strength?

"Here's a few of the Rolling Stones' releases from us, here's ABBA's, Billy Joel, the Bee Gees Brothers, AC/DC..."

Warner Music Group currently has two major princes, Warner Records Headquarters in Los Angeles, and Atlantic Records in New York. In its long history, countless musicians have left a rich library of music copyrights. Doug Morris, at his voluntary request Next, take him into the showroom and introduce them one by one.

However, Warner Music has historically been known for its chaotic management. Many well-known singers, groups, and bands have been around for a long time and come and go. Therefore, many collections often only have the copyrights of some albums and songs in their careers, or are jointly owned by other companies. , the right of ownership is also messed up like a heavenly book.

"Of course, there's also Madonna's..."

In terms of status, Madonna is undoubtedly Warner's top brand, and she has the longest cooperation time. Naturally, she has the most vinyl records and various honors in the exhibition hall, occupying half of the wall in a conspicuous position.

"Green Day's..."

"Hmm, ummm."

Doug Morris said that Song Ya listened with interest behind her back and nodded with satisfaction from time to time. The Green Day band is also very popular, and it is considered one of the top names in the rock circle.

However, the manager of the Green Day band is considered a victim of the personnel earthquake after the acquisition. In addition, he and Doug Morris have been at odds with each other for a long time, and they are instigating Green Day to quit.

"Madonna's contract expires next year?"

Song Ya didn't care about these things, and he didn't doubt whether to employ people or not, and left it all to Doug Morris.

Doug Morris was kicked out of Warner last time, which shows that he has many enemies here, and they are very strong. According to Daniel’s report, after he came back with his firm support this time, he did not do little to get revenge. , but this is also human nature, everyone has a temper, who can be exempt from vulgarity? Song Yazhuang didn't know and it was over.

"Yes, at the end of next year, we have already started contacting her to test for contract renewal..."

Madonna is very shrewd, and her team is also very professional. Every time she negotiates a contract renewal, she can cut a piece of meat from Warner Records, but it will be hard to say next year. As a dancing singer, her tour income still belongs to the top group, but the record company doesn't get much money.

The new management, the bad environment and other issues are all obstacles, but Doug Morris, an industry veteran and tinkerer, can gradually straighten out the global mess that merged with Polygram, and he has worked in Warner for many years. Being loyal to herself, Song Ya felt relieved, "Well, you can judge for yourself."

The big boss came for the first time, and all the executives were present. The legendary African-American musician and president Antonio Reid (LA Reid) led the team and moved forward slowly following Song Ya's footsteps.

Donny Braston, TLk, Usher, Avril Lavigne and other singers were all discovered by him or his old partner BABYFACE.

"Quincy Jones'..."

"Haha!" Song Ya was happy seeing Quincy Jones' old face, and reached out and flicked him on the forehead.

But this old thing was really invincible back then, and the replicas of Grammy Gold record players in the showcase were piled up like wholesale ones.

"Haha! This way, Bo SS, this side belongs to Atlantic Records..."

And Atlantic Records is where Doug Morris really started, so he is naturally more familiar with it, like a few treasures, "Led Zeppelin, Phil Collins, Velvet Underground, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles..."

In an era when discrimination was still prevalent, Atlantic Records was one of the most friendly labels to African-American musicians besides Motown Records and other African-American self-owned labels. Therefore, whether Doug Morris went to Universal or Warner With the firm support of African-American musicians, he lives above Antonio Reid, and black people will not have an opinion.

The display space of Atlantic Records is naturally much darker than that of Warner Records. Since the Jazz Age, countless legendary black singers have stayed here. The earlier the time, the lower the mobility, and the more loyal the singers will be. There are quite a few, and they are diligent in releasing songs, so every superstar has a large number of vinyl discs under his name.

"call!"

This is his real territory, and he can leave 'marks' everywhere. Song Ya's mood gradually improved a lot, "It's really a great treasure!"

Don't listen to the commentary while strolling down, and even begin to understand why Bronfman Jr., MJ, and Sony have a perverted collection of these treasures.

He intuitively felt that it would not be a loss to win here at the price of 2.5 billion knives plus 500 million knives in debt, although as entertainment methods become more abundant and piracy is rampant, people are less likely to spend money on these old songs.

"Yeah yeah……"

The executives behind echoed.

Everyone's attitude is very good, and many of them are really out of sincerity, not just flattery. Nonsense, I came here for the first time after more than half a month after the acquisition, and who doesn’t like the big boss who is very restrained and never dictates. He is also a super creative genius. The rich man, the idol of the idol.

As for the layoffs and personnel earthquake that are complaining outside? The executives who can appear here are all their own people who have 'survived', aren't they?

"Over there is our label in Nashville..."

Both Warner Records and Atlantic Records have a large number of small and medium-sized labels in Nashville, an important country music city, and this part is also the most 'white', a white country singer.

"Hahaha!"

Being coaxed comfortably, Song Ya ended the visit with a smile all the way, and walked into the chairman's office reserved for herself, "Doug, I have already served as the chairman of too many companies, and you will successfully complete the acquisition of Metropolis by the end of the year." Publishing company and Daniel's Glass Records, I'm going to let you take the position, okay?"

As a major shareholder holding more than 50% of the shares, the position of chairman is just a false name, and he really doesn't have enough energy, so Song Ya generously threw it out as a show of favor.

"Please rest assured, Bo SS."

Doug Morris has seen a lot, and thanked him flatly, "Is it going to be completed before the end of the year?"

"Yes, the timing is about before Disney's EGM, and getting this message out in time will help my fight there."

Daniel's small record company that has been losing money all year round is insignificant. Doug Morris deliberately left Daniel alone because he is too aware of Daniel's personality. If he doesn't set up some obstacles, Daniel's appetite will only grow bigger.

The Metropolis Publishing Company is completely different. It has the distribution rights of some Metropolis Records and A+ Records. After the merger, it means that Warner Records has officially intervened in the distribution of Songya's two money printing machine labels. This represents its own The probability of leaving is greater, and Disney will naturally bear greater pressure.

"I see."

Without further ado, Doug Morris gets it right, "I'll get it done."

"Can we turn around next year?" Song Ya asked.

"Not too possible."

Doug Morris shook his head, "Give me more time, the general environment also needs a turnaround..."

"All right. "

There is a reason why AOL Time Warner Group sells Warner Records so cheaply. The longer the history, the heavier the burden. Layoffs are not a panacea that will take effect in a second. Moreover, many executives have to pay different amounts once. Sexual severance compensation.

The two had an in-depth communication on the future development of the company. After the chat, Song Ya had already started to play with his mobile phone quietly. He came all over again. Scarlett Johansson or Kat Dennings for another friendly match or something...

Maybe it's a coincidence, among this wave of new Hollywood actresses, there are a lot of people who were born in 1986 or so, which can be confusing.

Lin Lin is gradually getting older, but he is a flower for thirty men.

Of course, Song Ya usually only flirts when he meets the right eye by chance, and he will not deliberately chase the target, let alone use coercion and other dirty methods like Harvey, the fat man.

For example, a few days later, when he went to visit Amy on the Disney set, he met another heroine in the Apocalypse movie, another star football stunner in the world line: Amanda Bynes...
