Chapter 202 The Third Choice

"For the time being, I haven't found any problems in the first million sales of I Feel It Coming. I have asked the people below to take over the information and check slowly, and focus on the first million sales of Remember The Name. This is also according to the contract. The earliest income you can settle, Sony Columbia Records must settle this part before the end of November, this amount of your personal and company’s estimated income of more than 4 million will be a key point, according to your financial situation, get this After a sum of money, he has the capital to fight against Motura for a long time. If he doesn't make any outside moves."

Three days later, Song Ya received a call from Samuel in the car, "OK, I understand, have you got any results from your rough audit of my total record sales?"

"Yes, you wait."

Samuel searched for a while, "I Feel It Coming, Beimi sold 2.03 million, overseas sales 310,000. Remember The Name, Beimi sold 3.27 million, overseas sales 280,000. Empire State of Mind, Beimi sold 1.14 million, overseas The sales volume is 650,000. Small size, Beimi sales volume is 860,000, and overseas sales are 110,000. I have to say that you are the big winner this year, APLUS.”

"Wow, I didn't expect there to be so many." Listening to him reporting these figures, Song Ya seemed to see the money printing machine running, "Where is my estimated income?"

"If this number is true, I estimate that Sony Columbia will not make false accounts. Your total personal income is about 7.5 million dollars, and the company's income of A+ Records is about 20 million!" Samuel replied excitedly.

"According to this income, what advice do you have for me?" Song Ya asked.

"The first option is that you pay Sony Columbia Records 5 million compensation and give up the release of the first album. In that case, you can't take the six singles except Show me the money, and you can only stay in Sony Columbia. Show me the money did not sign a single release contract, and Feel It Still signed a single release contract but was later terminated by you. Motura will be very angry at first. If he freezes the release of your six singles, then your Subsequent income is basically ruined, 27.5 million minus 5 million, you can probably leave with less than 22.5 million.”

Song Ya thought about it, "If I agree to Motura's conditions, not only will the first album be released smoothly, but also his signing fee of 30 million yuan, which is nearly 100 million yuan in income, haven't you calculated it? One hundred million against twenty million, this is too bad."

"But you don't want to agree to his terms.

"

Samuel complained, and he said: "Listen to me, you haven't counted your signing fee with other record companies as a free agent, and I said that Motura will be very angry at first, but wait for him After regaining consciousness, there is a high probability that you will use your six singles to make an EP release, and you will still get the relevant part of the proceeds at that time. So, it is not 100 million to 20 million..."

"Forget it, I won't choose the first choice, even if I become a free agent, because I haven't released a single, and then six good songs were left in Sony Columbia, and I also faced revenge from Motura, and other record companies signed I will lower the price severely. Besides, I don't know if Motura will calm down and release those six songs as an EP. He is too controlling and has a one-sided personality. He will definitely do everything possible to destroy me. , Without those six songs, I still don’t know what year and month I will wait for my first album..."

Samuel continued, "OK, the second choice. You insist until the release date of i hate u i love u's contract. At that time, you will not pay five million to give up the release of the single, but it will depend on Motura's willingness. May you pay you 5 million and freeze your first album."

"He will definitely do that." Song Ya said.

"Okay, 27.5 million plus 5 million. After the release contract with Sony Glenbia expires, you will leave with more than 30 million dollars, leave six songs, and then sign with other companies. In addition to earning a signing In addition to fees...you can also look forward to the income from the release of EP after Motura calms down."

"Wouldn't Motura hate me even more then? He will definitely use all means to smear me, and the time will be dragged on for too long. By then, I will still be a newcomer who hasn't posted anything yet. Maybe my fan base will be wiped out. "

Samuel said: "That's it, the third option, you pay 20 million, let the next record company pay another 30 million, 50 million to buy the six singles from Sony Columbia Records, and your A+ Records has to agree to sign a five-year publishing contract with the next company, which includes your five-year two albums or two plus one album. In this way, you are almost out of the house, but the advantage is that the first album can be released as soon as possible, Then A+ Records is still an independent label, and your relationship with Motura will not be so tense."

"Two colleges in five years? Can't there be one college in two years?" Song Ya asked.

"Then no next player is willing to take the risk. After all, they paid 30 million yuan to buy six singles, four of which have already been released. They have basically exhausted their money. They can only bet on your first major. Selling and the quality of your sub-professionals will not drop significantly, there may be someone who is willing to play at the table for 30 million, and it will be impossible if it is higher." Samuel said: "This is calculated by our Yongdao through mathematical models. , if you insist on taking those six songs and leaving, and you don't want to accept A+ records being controlled by someone."

"Fifty million, will Motura let go?" Song Ya asked.

"Absolutely, he will freeze you. Originally, your successful follow-up single plus the first special income Sony Columbia Records could not get a cent. This has already caused tens of millions of hidden losses to their company. If you continue If he refuses the 50 million, his own seat will definitely not be secure, and MJ's album will not save him." Samuel said: "Of course, your attitude must be firm, and you must show the management behind Motura If you show a firm attitude and Motura suppresses you, you will no longer cooperate, you must redeem yourself and leave, and you have to prove to the next company that you are worth the 30 million they paid you."

"Redemption..."

This redemption and leaving the house is much more tragic than the one I imagined a few days ago, "Let me think about it again, you should also take this time to perfect your mathematical model and see if there is anything better." untie."

"OK, I have to remind you that it is becoming more and more difficult for independent small and medium-sized record companies to survive. It is the general trend for the record industry to acquire groups." Samuel hung up the phone.

"I'm different, I have an apocalypse song..."

Song Ya is still holding the confidence of a traveler, but although the apocalypse song has been coming, the speed is still a bit too slow. It has been a year and a half since I haven't even got an album, "I think it's a bit too greedy... "He shook his head and smiled wryly.

"APLUS?"

Unaware that the car had stopped, Old Mike opened the car door for him, "Okay, come here." He calmed down, and under the escort of Old Mike, Mawota and others, he got into the car... This city is called What's going on? It doesn't matter, anyway, I have to go to two shows at night, both of which are large-scale nightclubs, sing a few songs and earn 20,000 dollars, and then take a short rest before rushing to the next city.

In the evening, he had just taken a shower to wash away the exhaustion of running around, and when he came out, he saw Fergie flipping through his manuscript, "Another new work?" After all, she was only seventeen years old, and she had already recovered from the shock of freezing her single. Came over, maybe not recovered, but Song Ya's new work successfully diverted her attention, "What is this?" She flipped through the staves, "Pure music?"

"Yes, symphony, I just wrote it for fun." Song Ya replied.

"Dangdang, Dangdangdang, Dangdangdang..." Fergie snorted a few times, "You are so talented dear..." She turned her head admiringly, "Damn it, you ran out naked after taking a shower, it's so ugly .”

The two boys were about to fight when the cell phone rang. It was Song Asheng.

"What's wrong?" Song Ya answered the phone.

"There is a new situation. In our twelve rental units in Tribeca, a load-bearing column cracked just now, and the housing management unit asked us to carry out a thorough overhaul." Song Asheng's tone was a little anxious.

"Just overhaul, what's the matter?" Song Ya asked.

"Not only will it be overhauled, but it will not be rented out again during this period! When it will be restored, we have to wait for the acceptance notice from the management unit!" Song Asheng said: "Not only do we have to bear the expenses of all tenants moving to the hotel for a while and then looking for a house, You have to reduce one month’s rent, maintenance costs, and the rental income before the management unit’s acceptance is gone, and that money is an important part of your mortgage.”

"Call the police and ask Goodman to call the local police, so the ghost pillar won't crack so coincidentally."
