Chapter 212
After hearing the rumors that Song Ya signed a contract with Sony Columbia Records in a hurry, the various record companies that had been slowly raising their prices before suddenly became "bold". Warner Records.
"Mr. Geffen, yes, I have reached an agreement with Mr. Motura, and he matched... Yes, the conditions have not changed."
People close to MJ, such as David Geffen and Sandy Glenn, have made various statements before. Looking back, they are all suspected of pushing themselves out and interfering with Motura’s attention, including David Geffen encouraging Song Ya to become a potential The buyers made an offer, and they got their wish. The dispute between Song Ya and Motura continued after the release of MJ's single MV.
Shopping malls are like battlefields, Song Ya has nothing to complain about, it's all business, if he can't support it early, then he is the idiot that Gao Shu said God bestowed on the other party, but he has survived until this moment, then David Geffen, including MJ His behaviors have reached a win-win situation with himself. The once common enemy Motura was caught off guard. He was very angry, but he also rationally chose to decisively match his offer to end the multi-line battle.
Everything is motivated by profit. Motura is the most impulsive among the three parties. He can actually get better conditions from himself. The sooner he makes concessions to himself, the more it shows how much he hates M** *****lackorwhite's MV has aroused widespread repercussions around the world, and almost received unanimous praise, including the black group who attacked his skin color change before, and he was also very happy with his clear and strong statement this time. On the contrary, some big The media expressed dissatisfaction with the self-touching and violent scenes in the last four minutes of the MV. "
Yeremov reported the collected information one by one, "MJ's new album Dangerous is a foregone conclusion, Motura can only cooperate and wipe the ass of MJ's media image."
"Then what shall we do?"
Now everyone can see clearly who is the No.1 in Sony Columbia Records. Motura will have to suffer in the future, but this has nothing to do with Song Ya. He started to look at the future, "According to the agreement, Ihateuiloveu's distribution case has been settled , but at this time the listing is not going to win the heat.”
"Yeah, it stands to reason that Mira's first album should have been released a long time ago. SBK didn't know why it was delayed. Otherwise, with the relationship between the two of you before, sending love songs to each other at the same time can still bring some buzz."
Hayden said: "Your contract dispute has dragged on for too long. It is very likely that Daniel has noticed your Ihateuiloveu, so he also pressed Mira to release the song. Whoever releases later this time will benefit."
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if we released it earlier. We should find a gap in MJ's new album and post the song. Mira will not care about it. I don't believe that the song prepared by SBK for Mira can be released. Fight against Ihateuiloveu." Song Ya is very confident.
"Indeed." Hayden went to communicate with the announcement department of Sony Columbia Records.
MJ's popularity overwhelmed everything, and Queen Twenty-Four's lead singer Freddy died of HIV. These two major events that shook the music circle prevented Song Ya's signing news from causing any disturbance.
He had a dinner party with Walter, David Cole, and Roberto Clivell. The three brothers were in a bit of an awkward situation during the previous turmoil. Song Ya also wisely didn't go to them, and now he can finally sit down We came down to chat, but Mariah Carey did not come because she was preparing to go abroad for publicity.
He then set off back to Chicago to continue his studies and polish his first symphony: Game of Thrones.
"Boss, do you know what happened in Los Angeles? It spread to Chicago not long ago."
One day, Song Asheng came to the door in a hurry.
"What's the matter?" Song Ya was puzzled.
"The case of a shopkeeper of Silla descent."
Song Asheng introduced that in the first half of the year, a female shopkeeper of Silla descent shot and killed a black girl who was stealing in her shop.
The case fell silent after a wave of hype, but the court pronounced it not long ago. When the jury found the female shopkeeper guilty, the judge greatly reduced the sentence and only sentenced the female shopkeeper to a fine and community service.
This verdict made the black community in Los Angeles once again outraged. They stormed some Silla stores, and the Chinese stores with East Asian faces were also affected. Even several Chinese stores in Chicago were smashed and looted.
"Normal energy release."
Song Ya rolled her eyes. In fact, blacks in this era have a good impression of Chinese Americans. Xiangjiang movies, especially Kung Fu movies, are widely spread among black people. In Xiangjiang movies at this time, Chinese people are often oppressed by British white colonists and The plot of resistance, which is very empathetic to the black Americans who have been enslaved for hundreds of years.
But that's all. After watching the movies of the lower-level black group, if you are short of money, you should grab it. After all, everyone knows that Chinese people like cash. In addition, whether it is the Chinese in Hong Kong or the blacks in the United States, the oppression and discrimination they have encountered in recent years have begun to decrease, and the "common language" of the two sides has gradually disappeared.
And it’s about to die, the US’s vigorous smear target will move to China without accident, and with the full power of the media machine, blacks will only become more and more prejudiced against Chinese. Of course, Chinese have never looked down on blacks.
"This time is a bit different. The Rodney King case will be sentenced in April next year. There are rumors that there is a big one in Los Angeles, and there is danger in Chicago." Song Asheng said, "Boss, you can exert some influence. Do you want to take care of Chinatown?"
"I sure didn't say that."
Song Ya is naturally obliged to do this kind of thing, "But how can I express it to the outside world? Tell the blacks that you only grab Xinluo people, and don't touch Chinese shops?"
"In fact, it's all the same. Silla people came to the United States late. The small supermarkets, restaurants, and laundry businesses they mainly operate belonged to Chinese people. Now many of their stores are rented from retired Chinese people. When the time comes I'm afraid it will be bad luck." Song Asheng said.
"Well, you can talk to an acquaintance, Eskub is very active in this matter," he suggested.
"Eskub?"
Escuber reflected that the movie Boys on the Block in the black neighborhood of Los Angeles was a big hit. A small production of 6.5 million earned more than 57 million box office worldwide, and then he hit the gang hard with NoVaseline The face of the rap group N.W.A, even after Derry fell out with Big E, he was considered by the outside world to be "disbanding N.W.A with one song", and his personal reputation reached an unprecedented peak. He has always regarded himself as a member of the neighborhood, and it is no surprise to get involved in this kind of thing. According to his current influence, maybe he can really help.
"Hey, Cooper, how are you doing?" Song Ya immediately called Eskub.
"YO, what else can I do, prepare for a new album, have your problems been resolved?"
It appears Cooper doesn't know yet about his signing with Sony Columbia Records.
"solved."
The two first chatted about records, and Cooper's new album next year will also be included in Song Ya's joint charting campaign, and then Song Ya talked about Song Asheng's concerns.
"Don't worry, we can distinguish between Chinese and Gook (Americans' discriminatory term for Silla and some Southeast Asians)." Eskub patted his chest and assured.
"Can you really tell the difference?" Song Yaxin was a ghost, "Did you hear any rumors?"
"It's nothing to say, as long as white people protect the four police officers who beat Rodney King, then we will have a big fight with M-FXXK." Eskub said, "Many organizations will be involved, so you too! By the time."
"Well……"
Song Ya scratched his head straight, "Look, I'm advancing and retreating with the equal rights organization here..." He found a reason to perfunctory, and turned the topic back to the music circle, "So, what happened to N.W.A? Rumor has it that Big E himself said yes He was pointed at the head with a gun and forced to agree to terminate the singer contract of Derry and others?"
"Basically, Sugnett did it. Dre and the others were taken in by Sugnett's Death Row Records, haha! It makes me laugh when I think about it."
Eskub gloated, "Sugnett is the titular boss of the Compton Blood Gang in Los Angeles, but Derry and the others, as members of the Lame Gang, went to seek refuge with the rival Blood Gang, don't even think about raising your head when you see me in the future! "
"What is the nominal boss?" Song Ya was a little curious.
"The Blood Gang is different from the Lame Gang..."
According to Eskuber, the Blood Gang has fewer members than the Lame Gang, but they are more organized and more brutal, so the real bosses generally don't dare to show their faces, and it is often Su Ge Knight who can eat well in the neighborhood but can't be caught by the police. The person who comes to the criminal evidence will be the 'big man'.
"If you want me to say, Derry jumped from one pit into another. Suge Knight is determined to make his nephew 2PAC popular. How much resources can Derry and his brothers get? Sugnet It's not a small drug dealer like Big E, and it may be difficult for Dre to get away again."
