Chapter 204 1 Price

Within a day, William Morris conveyed the news to all the large and medium-sized record companies in the whole meter, that is, the executives of potential buyers.

"Now, you have been put on the shelf with a clear price tag."

Song Ya placed the command center at his home in Hyde Park, far away from New York, and Samuel also returned to Chicago, "My colleagues will continue to audit the remaining content."

"Thanks, Samuel." Song Ya knew that the other party could not stay in New York all the time.

"In short, there are many minor problems, and overseas income is the hardest hit area, but Sony Columbia Records can use various reasons such as account periods, settlement time differences, and exchange differences to prevaricate the past. There are probably no major problems. Of course, the current progress is only up to now. For the two singles, it will take about 20 days to complete the follow-up work.”

"Okay, I get it." Song Ya's mouth twitched. In terms of working hours, he would have to pay Yongdao about 20,000 knives per working day, not counting other consulting fees and service fees charged annually in proportion.

Samuel said: "Now there is a critical node. In November, your i hate u i love u single release will face a deadline. If Motura freezes, or does not freeze but releases negatively, you can Initiate a lawsuit, and the probability of winning the lawsuit and getting five million liquidated damages is very high."

"Once your lawsuit is initiated, bystanders will fully see the situation and let go of their worries. If other companies are willing to come forward to match your contract, they should start to take action. The entire end of September and October will be between you and They are in the stage of constant testing, evaluation and negotiation. You have to constantly show and sell yourself to the outside world, try to dispel the concerns of potential buyers, and improve your personal value. Unless... there is something like Richard Branson, the owner of Viking Records. A gambler who plays with common sense."

"Isn't Viking Records going to sell soon?" Song Ya asked, "Richard Branson is about to leave, otherwise it would be nice to be a colleague with MJ's sister. We had a good chat when we visited MJ last time."

"Yeah, so every less spoiler in the recording industry is not good for the bargaining power of the singers."

Samuel asked, "Do you have any other questions?"

"Hamlin suggested that I could do this. I have prepared three songs, which are the remix version of i hate u i love u, the studio version of I Feel It Coming, and a pure music song. I put these three songs together. The song was submitted to Sony Columbia Records, and the album release process was officially launched." Song Ya said: "This can speed up the showdown time to the end of September or early October, and I really want to shorten the time of see-saw.

Motura has been bothering me..."

"Don't, how can you be sure that Motura would rather break the contract than stop your album? Singles and albums are not the same thing, what if Motura agrees instead? Your first album is half-baked, and the first It is also difficult to negotiate a good result on the special release contract, he can maneuver for a long time just by delaying the negotiation, and then get stuck when it comes to the release... There are too many variables."

After Samuel left, the first person to ask the price appeared.

"BABYFACE, hey, how's it going?" Song Ya didn't expect it to be a small company like LAFACE Records. Although they competed with Sony Columbia Records for Donnie Braston, they still have the strength and strength to break up with singers of their level. Do you have the guts to mix it up?

"Thirty million ah?"

BABYFACE asked in a joking tone: "I heard that you will still pay 20 million out of your own pocket?"

"Yes, my attitude is very clear. I think William Morris has conveyed it for me very accurately." Song Ya was not in the mood for joking.

"I know, I know, I heard about it through the guys at Alistar Records..."

BABYFACE asked again: "They said that you offered a one-stop price, whoever offered 30 million, and then helped you bring out your six singles from Sony Columbia Records, who would you sign with?"

"It's not who I signed with. It's my five-year record distribution rights for A+ Records. At the same time, I will sign A+ Records for five years and two specialties."

Song Ya couldn't tell from the relaxed tone of the other party that he was just calling to care about him, or if he really had intentions, so he could only speak clearly in a business-like manner.

"OK, I see...you're fine, right?"

After exchanging some pleasantries, BABYFACE hung up the phone.

A little later, the second call came. Song Ya frowned immediately after hearing the other party's highly recognizable crisp voice, "Hey, APLUS, it's me, Big E."

"Damn it!" He cursed secretly in his heart. It is a foregone conclusion that Dre will leave Big E's Ruthless Records. Apart from Snoop Dogg, there are probably a lot of people who will follow him. If Big E wants to sign himself to make up for it at this time It would be embarrassing for Derry and the others to leave the vacancy. I would never go to a record company that focuses on gangster rap, let alone the other party is still a lame gang.

"Is your leaving condition true? I haven't heard the news, or did other friends tell me?" Big E asked very familiarly.

"I don't know, it was William Morris who notified me, FXXK, I promise I let them notify you, Big E." Song Ya blamed the agent, "Yeah, really..."

"Hahahaha!" Big E was overjoyed at the other end, "You have to lower the price brother, I am very optimistic about you, we can definitely do a big job together."

"Uh, I'm sorry, Big E, I won't lower the price, I can't do anything below that condition."

Song Ya is too lazy to talk nonsense about this kind of brother. Big E can't even take advantage of the "real" brother, let alone his superficial brother.

"Hey, let's have a chat, when are you coming to Los Angeles?"

Big E talked a lot, and Song Ya felt that he didn't want to spend 30 million at all, but he was relieved and waited patiently for the opportunity to hang up.

"The news spread really fast enough..."

Indeed, the news spread quickly, but apart from these two, no record company called to inquire. In the evening, the entertainment news columns of several TV stations broke the matter first.

"The latest news is that APLUS, a singer under Sony Columbia Records, is rumored to want to jump out of the contract. In the absence of a single release, such impulsive and willful behavior will face liquidated damages of up to tens of millions..."

Needless to say, this must be on good terms with Motura, the villain will sue first.

"APLUS, a talented boy in the music industry, is not an exaggeration to call him the best creative newcomer in 1991. According to industry insiders, the few singles he created in just over a year have created nearly 10 million record sales. This time Sudden falling out with the parent company, most likely because of financial or contract disputes...'

This was publicized by William Morris. Both parties were prepared and restrained. The incident has not been greatly fermented. These media are very careful in what they say. Even if they are slightly on the side of Motura, they are only limited to Songya's breach of contract. The direction of guessing, the choice of words and sentences are not very provocative.

Soon, some friends such as Halle, Escouber, Walter, Roberto Clivell and others called to say hello.

"Call, Miss Kelly."

In the early morning, Song Ya was a little tired from dealing with it, so Taraji came in with his mobile phone.

"Hey, Mimi, it's so late, what's the matter?" Of course Mariah Carey called for this matter, Song Ya pretended to be okay and smiled, "What did he say to you?"

"He said it's your men's business, don't allow me to interfere!" Mariah Carey said angrily, as if she had quarreled with Motura, "What's wrong with you? Why is the news saying that you are leaving the company?"

"It's all about business, I have no personal issues with him, we'll work it out, as he said, it's a man's business, I believe he is as chivalrous as I am. "Song Ya didn't intend to involve her, and if she defeated Motura through her, there would be no sense of accomplishment at all.

"Hey, what year is it! There's really nothing you can do about your male chauvinism!"

Mariah Carey asked a few more questions, but Song Ya still refused to say, "Is it really all right?"

"It's really fine."

"Okay, you guys have to be good." She hung up the phone.

"Boss, another reporter is here." Dali came in to report.

Since the reversal of Frank's case last time, the reporters and paparazzi have restrained themselves a lot. They no longer drove around the villa and deliberately hit the accelerator pedal of the motorcycle as usual, "Hey, Mrs. Susie!" "It's unlucky to be sent by the company again so late, is there any coffee?"

"There aren't many people here." After waiting for a while, Song Ya was relieved to see that the reporters outside were still two or three kittens.

"Halle Berry again." Taraji came over.

"I'm fine, Harley..." Song Ya picked up the phone, subconsciously thinking that the other party was still here to show concern.

"I have something to do!" Harry was anxious, "John just talked to me on the phone, he should go to you now!"

"What John, who is John?" Song Ya was puzzled.

"John, John Roman!" Halle Berry shouted loudly, "He saw our scandal in the newspaper, and he was very angry. He should be almost at your door now!"

"Oh..." Song Ya remembered the spare tire of Harley's dentist in Chicago.

"There is a white man who wants to see you outside, boss, he is very excited! He was stopped vigorously." The maid came in and shouted.

"It should be him." Song Ya was afraid of what the other party would say in front of the reporter, "Tell Dali to let him in, old Mike, keep an eye on it...Halley, he's already arrived, is there anything I don't know?"

"Can you lend me 80,000 dollars first? He should be able to get rid of him." Harley couldn't care less about anything else, "I will pay you back when my salary arrives."

"Okay, 80,000 dollars, right?"

"Uh, he probably asked for more than that. I spent a total of ten... two hundred thousand on him. I can't remember the exact amount, but I have consulted with a lawyer. The part given as a gift does not need to be returned. Only the 80,000 knives borrowed by verbal agreement need to be returned, and you just give him 80,000 knives!"

"Wow……"
