Chapter 205 Perfect Knight

"Harry, I sent John away."

After an unpleasant and embarrassing confrontation, Song Ya called Halle Berry.

"Thank you." There was a sobbing sound from the microphone, "I will pay you back as soon as possible."

Song Ya rolled her eyes, "Will there be anyone else? Today's timing is very bad. There are reporters at my door. The words of white dentists are much more credible than hip-hop singers. Fortunately, John Roman is not sensitive to entertainment news. .”

"there is none left……"

"Why do you owe him so much money? You're one of the best-developed black actresses in Hollywood right now? Except Whoopi Goldberg."

"I...unknowingly... in Hollywood, I have to maintain the quality of life of a second-tier actress in Hollywood, where I live, the clothes I go out in the street, and the hiring of assistant stylists. The mockery of my miserable life, they're so snobby."

"You're not a veteran second-tier. As a newcomer, you're also a clothes hanger, dressed a little... Forget it, the matter is settled, and this kind of thing won't happen again, right?"

"No, I promise."

"Okay, I'm a little tired too, bye."

"Bye, thank you aPLus, really, I would do anything for you..."

Song Ya hung up the phone, "Does she know that you paid $150,000?" Taraji was slightly upset, "Although the dentist just now was very poor, but now is the time when you need to make good use of every penny in your hand. "

"A spare tire without awareness is not worthy of sympathy. Forget about this small incident. We have more important things to worry about."

Song Ya stuffed the phone into her hand, "I'm going to sleep, let Hayden and the others continue to come to the meeting tomorrow."

"Chivalry ah?" Taraji quipped.

"Perfect Knight, Perfect Knight! Also, don't keep eavesdropping on my phone calls, Taraji." Song Ya went back to her room and had a good night's rest. The next day, the meeting continued.

"Samuel suggested that I show my potential to the outside world to increase the confidence of potential buyers. What suggestions do you have?" Song Ya asked.

"It's very simple. Didn't you create a new symphony?" Yeremov came up with an idea, "Isn't this the thing that best showcases your talent? Symphony,

That's all the scores of the entire orchestra, and it's all done by you alone..."

"I haven't finished the arrangement yet. This kind of thing needs to be tested slowly with the orchestra..." Apocalypse gave the song to the mV but not the score. Song Ya had to do everything by himself, although the symphony of Game of Thrones is very short , only 1 minute and 50 seconds, but it is a big project to arrange the music and restore it on the spot. Except for the trumpet, he can't play other instruments.

"Then let's get used to it slowly. Isn't there an orchestra in your school? They will be happy to cooperate?" Hayden asked.

"But how to coordinate the time? I still have to run around..."

"You're just making a little money running around, but handling disputes with Sony Columbia Records is a big business worth tens of millions. Don't put the cart before the horse."

Goodman warned: "It's not good for you to go to places like nightclubs all the time. Although the security is very strict, once an accident occurs, it will be troublesome if Motura uses it to make use of it. There are fights, guns, drugs, and others. The rapper who came to Pengci was provocative. The public has a stereotype of hip-hop singers. Even if they don’t do your business, the damage will be done first. Not to mention that Motura may find someone to stop you and find fault, just like Little Lowry encountered before like that."

"Emmmm..." Song Ya looked at Song Asheng, "If I stop walking acupuncture points, will I have enough money to last until November?"

"Enough is enough, we still have stocks that can be mortgaged, and there is no problem in lending two million, but nothing can happen in the middle." Song Asheng calculated for a while, "The special account at Yongdao can't be short of money for a moment, and we can't pay it back. With a monthly mortgage from the Bank of America..."

"Motura will continue to look for trouble, he will not stop." Hayden reminded.

'What do you think of aPLus' recent conflict with the record company? '

In a gossip chat show, several guests talked about Song Ya, "I think aPLus's previous character design was a bit too perfect, but now it's just being beaten back to its original shape..." A middle-aged white man talked eloquently "He's just an ordinary 17-year-old or 16-year-old kid who suddenly became rich. Like other stars, after he became famous, he began to spend a lot of money and play big names. No one in the record company can control it. It has evolved to the current situation. It's a natural consequence, there are many examples in history, right?"

"He is not an ordinary young singer, he is a genius, haven't you read the reports? The total sales of his singles have reached nearly 10 million..." A black woman retorted.

"Who said nearly ten million? There is no factual support for this statement. RIaa certification, triple platinum for second-hand stores, double platinum for De Klerk, single platinum for IFeelIting, and no data for the rest."

"RIaa's certification has a lag. I think we have all seen his singles lined up in the video store. IFeelIting is already a single platinum. You know, the song RememberThename is even more popular, four times on the billboard. Zhou Champion..."

"That's all marketing hype. We'd better use the data to speak. According to the data, the total sales volume of aPLus is 6 million, of which 5 million is not sung by himself, and he didn't write all the lyrics for the second-hand store."

"Ha! The inside story of the copyright of the lyrics of the second-hand store is known throughout the United States, and aPLus is the victim."

"I don't know, I only know the results I found from the copyright information database. He and Little Lowry's lyrics are copyrighted by one person and half."

Hayden turned off the TV, "Motura has withdrawn all the platinum applications for your song, and all the databases about you in RIaa are not available..."

"FXXK! The bastard!"

Song Ya knows that this kind of data is submitted by the record company, and how many records he has sold. As long as they make trouble, RIaa will not even think about any related honors, "This trick is disgusting."

"Yes, record sales are a very important indicator for the outside world to talk about. RIaa's data is very authoritative. Whether you announce the sales by yourself or through other channels, it can't change the general public's opinion."

Hayden said: "You have to be careful about Motura going to support Little Lowry, or find Mira to say something, then you will feel even more disgusting. I remind you that the second song of Little Lowry's new album The single is about to be released."

"No way? He wouldn't act like that, right?" Song Ya's expression turned cold, "If he really did that, I would never stay at Sony Columbia Records again, even if he begged me to go back .”

"Don't you make a knight's agreement or something?" Taraji said with a smile at the door, "It will be very hard to be a one-sided good person."

"I've decided, go back to school first, Hayden, and accompany me to see the principal and music teacher, don't go out of your way, I'm going to get that symphony out!"

Song Ya and Hayden returned to school. The principal and music teacher naturally welcomed his request.

"Wow, it's hard to imagine what it would be like if we performed the original symphony pieces of our school's students in inter-school performances." The music teacher said with longing, she directly brought Song Ya back to the orchestra, excited He announced in public: "Everyone, let us welcome aPLus back! We will rehearse a new, no! Brand new symphony!"

All the students applauded politely.

"Hi..." Song Ya raised her hand to greet them, and when her eyes moved to the good girl Kasiti, she deliberately smiled at her.

The girl beside Kasiti immediately cast complicated gazes at her.

She hugged the violin in her hand a little tighter, and happily mouthed 'hi' to Song Ya.

"Okay, let's get started, aPLus' time is limited!"

The music teacher was so active that she personally took charge of the most important part of the cello. Song Ya also promised that he would give her the title of art director after the symphony was officially released.

Everything has to start from scratch. Song Ya roughly prepared some violin and cello scores, and the rest needs to be slowly adjusted and added. Finally, there is a vocal chorus part. The music teacher promised to bring in the school choir.

The rehearsal on the first day basically spent two hours in the chaos of adjusting seats. The school couldn't restrict the children to work overtime for rehearsal outside of club activities, so that's it.

After the teacher announced that the rehearsal was over, the first violinist who had laughed at Kasiti came up. The girl kept asking some technical questions and leaned her body gently on Song Ya's arm, "Here, and here, It should be dealt with... ouch!"

She suddenly held her head and yelled.

"I'm sorry." Kasiti pointed to the exquisite piano case on her back, as if turning around, the piano case knocked on her head.

"Hmph." She couldn't get angry, and Kasiti took the opportunity to wave to Song Ya, "See you tomorrow, bye."

"bye."

When Song Ya saw the piano box, she thought of the other party's father...

Back home, what Hayden was worried about during the day seemed to have become a reality. The notorious little Lowry disappeared for a while, and really worked out the second single.

Hayden stuffed the videotape into the machine, "He sent it directly through underground channels, and the MV will be released simultaneously. You have to be mentally prepared."

The simple to rough background melody is useless except for the strong rhythm. It is much inferior to the production of his first single, but the lyrics are very explosive, 'Yo... those who questioned me, those brothers and enemies I used to Guys, here's what I'm going to say to you...'

Very 'classic' DIss song opening line, a basketball court and the song title 'What I Want to Say' appeared on the screen.

Lowry, with dreadlocks and a basketball in his hand, was performing fancy dribbling skills. A black man who looked a bit like Song Ya made very obscene movements and expressions, walked up to him, bent down and put on defense posture.

The corners of Song Ya's mouth turned up, "Are you out of breath ah?"

Then there is the action clip of Little Lowry repeatedly knocking down the 'fake aPLus'.

'Master of my court, I am invincible, behold! The coward knelt at my feet, gnawing the mud on the ground...'

The fake aPLus was shaken down again, then lay on the ground and didn't get up again. First, he stuck out his tongue and licked the concrete floor of the stadium, then wiped his eyes with his hands, and kept kicking his feet, acting like a three-year-old would do that. A kind of 'playing tricks' action.

‘I comforted you who were crying, I gave you a Franklin’ Little Lowry took out a green bill from his pocket and threw it on the ground.

The fake aPLus picked up the money, his eyes gleamed with joy, and he held the money in front of his eyes and kept looking at it, with saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth.

"FXXK!"

Song Ya couldn't take it anymore, and turned off the video camera, "Is Motura involved?"

"It's not clear yet. Please note that the production company of Little Lowry's single has changed from Atlantic Records to an unknown company called 33rd Street Records, but the distribution company is Warner Records, the publisher of Atlantic Records."

"Give me the phone."

Song Ya asked for a mobile phone from Taraji, and directly dialed Motura's office.

"You have crossed the line! Motura!" After Motura's voice came from the receiver, he yelled directly: "I thought this was a man's battle! You shouldn't have done this! Through Little Luo Rui came to attack me? Did you run out of tricks!?"

"FXXK You!"

Motura swears a rare swear word, "Don't go crazy boy, I won't go to find some little Lowry, I can kill you right away, fair and honest! I have heard mimi tell you what you said, the battle between knights Right? I'll give you a fight between knights! Guess what, get ready to roll back to me and kneel and kiss my ring!"

'Snapped! ’ After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone severely.

"It's not Motura." Song Ya breathed a sigh of relief, he was not happy to see little Lowry make a comeback.

"Then there's no need to worry? Little Lori's DIss can't turn the tide if there is no pusher behind it." Hayden dialed another number and handed it to Song Ya after connecting, "Steven."

"Hey, Steven, you have to keep an eye on Little Lowry's mad dog, don't let him out to bite people!" Song Ya didn't bother to be polite to the people from Atlantic Records, although she had a good personal relationship with Steven.

"Don't be angry with aPLus, we transferred Little Lowry to a small record company, and he is no longer a threat to you." Steven responded.
