Chapter 199 Signing with Yongdao

Samuel first carefully asked Song Ya's assets and liabilities, and then took Song Asheng's rough statistics of the sales of the four singles "I Feel It Coming, Remember The Name, Empire State of Mind, Trumpet" and multiplied it by a record in Yongdao. The simple coefficient of business division account, "According to Accountant Song's statistics, the total global sales volume of your four singles is as high as 8 million copies? How is this possible? According to this calculation, your personal royalties and singer and producer's share can be divided into nearly 90% A million dollars, your A+ record as a production company can get more than 20 million dollars in share, and the A+ record is wholly owned by you..."

He turned around and exchanged glances with his entourage, "I don't listen to hip-hop music very much, do you care?"

A group of white elites shook their heads, "Remember The Name, I know, has won the Billboard singles chart for several weeks." Said the youngest-looking male accountant.

"Mr. APLUS, did your accountant make a mistake? It's hard for even a top singer to achieve 8 million sales of four singles. This is usually an achievement that can only be achieved by the top five albums of the year." Samu I don't know anything about the recording industry.

"That's why I found you, didn't I?"

Song Ya pointed to the wall, "I Feel It Coming's platinum album certification is hanging there. As far as I know, the sales volume in the US alone has exceeded two million copies. Remember The Name is one of the hottest singles of the year, Billboard The top single for four weeks, stayed in the first five for eight weeks, and the domestic sales of 3 million copies in the United States is stable. When Sony Columbia and I were still in the honeymoon period, they revealed that the global sales would eventually exceed 5 million copies. Empire State of Mind Motura told me that Everbright’s sales in the New York area had broken through the Platinum Line. Since then, he probably has already launched a plan to do it with me. The follow-up announcement of Empire State of Mind is pitiful, and the opportunities for commercial performances are scarce. Suppressed by his excuse of Mariah Carey's schedule..."

Samuel's eyes on Song Ya changed, as if he was looking at a golden mountain, "According to this calculation, isn't your future first album a masterpiece? Can the sales volume reach tens of millions? You know, the unit price of an album is much higher than The single is high, and the ratio of your personal account and the company's account is extremely high, if the album can be released smoothly..."

"Maybe Motura didn't expect this to happen when he signed with me."

Song Ya smiled wryly. The book executive named Gao Shu said that in the capital jungle society of the United States, people who don’t seize opportunities will be ridiculed. pat your ass and leave,

Motura will definitely be under a lot of pressure, especially if he chooses to switch to another record company.

"But the first album contract you signed with him is also very problematic. If he chooses to freeze your first album, he will only pay 5 million knives, and if you lose a music album with tens of millions of sales, it will be about 50 million. If you agree to his conditions, you will directly get 30 million dollars, and the single income will be further divided into 30 million, plus the 50 million share of the first album in the near future. The bright road of billionaires is beckoning to you APLUS .Even if it was MJ, how many years did it take to achieve this achievement? And you only took one major."

Samuel's first reaction was to accept Motura's conditions.

"But then I will be tied up for about seven years, and the independence and subsequent copyright of A+ Records will be gone." Song Ya retorted, "You have to calculate my loss. The copyright of the song belongs to Sony Music Copyright Company, and the A+ Records This is not an album, but three plus one album in seven years, plus all song copyrights after A+ records."

"Well..." Samuel buried his head in a simple calculation, "First of all, many singers exhausted their talents after the first album, especially after becoming rich after the first album, they lost the motivation to struggle. Motura would spend 30 million Binding a contract is also a big risk. And if you don’t agree with his conditions, your first album will be frozen, he will pay you 5 million, and the remaining 45 million will disappear. As for the A+ record Part of the rights, it's just an annual fixed income that will be reduced year by year, and your own songwriter and singer rights are not affected by this acquisition."

Song Ya said: "This is a game, isn't it? If I would rather lose the 45 million, as the distribution company, he would have to make a lot of less money, lose both, or take a step back and we can achieve a win-win situation. It’s up to you if you can’t offer a good price. I will never accept a seven-year contract, it’s too long, and I’m not a person who stops after getting rich.”

"Well, your opinion is also right, then I will enter Sony Columbia Records as soon as possible to fully audit your single sales, but..." Samuel said: "I suggest you take advantage of my appearance before their headquarters building , prepare working capital as much as possible, the more the better, then there may be accidents with your loans.”

"Our working capital is only about one million yuan." Song Asheng said: "The loanable part of the A+ record is one million yuan, the house mortgage is four million yuan, and the A+ pedal company still has 2.25 million yuan."

"Which bank?"

"A+ Records and A+ Pedal Company borrowed from the First Bank of New Jersey, and the house mortgage loan from the Bank of America." Song Asheng replied.

"I can handle the mortgage from the Bank of America, as long as APLUS continues to supply. What's the situation with First Bank of New Jersey? Why do you want to borrow from such a small bank?" Samuel asked.

"Uh, it's a long story. Anyway, in order to acquire the Warren Brothers Synthesizer Company in New Jersey, which was the predecessor of A+ Pedal Company, I... took a loan from them nearby, and the interest was very good." Song Ya replied .

"In short, we have to prepare for the most difficult in advance."

Samuel carefully asked Song Ya about the allocation of all assets. Goodman also came back from London. Daniel's attitude was still vague. Song Ya didn't want to wait anymore, and signed a paper with Yongdao Office the next day. contract.

"What can we think of for working capital?" Song Asheng, the person who sent away Yongdao, asked Song Ya, "Their charges are very expensive, and we have to put a sum of money into a special account to pay for working hours."

"It's a big deal to sell the house and sell the land. Also, Dilai, take back the RV that I hung up on the rental company. Also, call the big A and prepare the tour plan." Song Ya has no good way now, only to rely on crazy tricks Made money.

"Do you want to hold dozens of fan meetings in Quanmi and charge an entrance fee?" Yeremov asked.

"Harvest fans? Forget it, there's no rush now."

Song Ya has no plans yet, "What is my fan base like?"

Yeremov asked Taraji to bring a statistical form, "Most of them are young people under the age of 30, black and white are about half and half, and women account for two-thirds. Of course, women are more likely to participate in such organizations and activities than men. Fan activities can't explain anything."
