Chapter 359 He Signed

Palm was only established in January this year. The founder Jeffrey Hawkins and Terry Beard of DTS are both engineers. A total of one million yuan in angel investment, the company's valuation is about five million dollars.

"I bought a house in Highland Park. I don't have much spare money now. You should make preliminary contact with Palm to find out the situation of the other company. I will make a decision after Sony Columbia Records settles the next record revenue at the beginning of next year. Enter or not."

The angel round did not catch up, and if the A round enters the stage, it will cost some money. Song Ya confessed to Dilai, "Let's concentrate on shooting the MV in front of us first."

The MV script of WhereIsTheLove has been polished for a long time. There is a version broadcast by CBS TV station in the front. Song Ya doesn't like the expression of the original MV, so the structure of the version broadcast by the TV station is completely retained on the whole, but it will be shot more beautifully. Then the interspersed news footage cannot be used by CBS, and can only be replaced by inferior material from BET TV station.

"123, jump!"

After about a week of in-studio and exterior shooting, in the mansion in Beverly Hills, everyone is working on the last set of shots, which is Song Ya's temporary addition of fluorescent party shooting. He has been more low-key in Los Angeles recently, basically not going out, and he also goes to Columbia Studios to shoot MVs.

In the powerful music and the laser lights that flicker from time to time, Song Ya and other lead singers, Amy Adams, and some beautiful girls hired began to twist their bodies, with Bahn Chemicals on their hands and faces, now called Ba For the fluorescent agent produced by En Company, the entire scene in the MV took about ten seconds, and director Larry announced that the scene was over in about half an hour after the official start of filming.

He also invited Xuelin Fen to come as a cameo on the pretext of filming the MV, but the other party is now concentrating on a lawsuit with her ex-boyfriend, so she declined. Goodman also submitted a testimony to the court on his behalf. Get a restraining order against the ex-boyfriend, if the other party harass her in the future, there will be a prison sentence.

Jennifer Lynch has stopped arguing with him in the media. Xue Linfen’s ex-boyfriend has a lot of dramas. When interviewed by reporters outside the court, she claimed that she has started to prepare a book, exposing his relationship with Xue Linfen and how she was beaten by APLUS. The truth of the incident, for the sake of money is really the last bit of the bottom line.

Song Ya is going to wait for his book to come out before suing him for bankruptcy.

Brother Tony, as the discoverer of 'creativity', also got a one-man show. Basically, Song Ya translated the similar passage of IGottaFeeling. He was riding a bicycle with a metal can of fluorescent agent with the logo of Bahn Company on the back seat. A hole was punched in the lower part of the jar, leaving a thin green line on the ground as he rode, and then he rode behind the three girls, reached out and patted one of the necks, which took about five seconds in the MV left and right length.

"It's a bit of an ad," the producer at Sony Columbia Records quickly discovered.

a bit? Chi Guoguo is fine, "Hey, do me a favor, my company is losing money." Song Ya smiled at him.

"It's not a big deal for APLUS, if you think it's okay, I'll be fine." The other party spoke very well, "Anyway, it's your MV, and then you paid half of the money." He said.

"By the way, how much did the 8 million publicity fee cost?" Song Ya asked.

"Probably the publicity and distribution of your music video will be spent early next year, and your 4 million will be deducted from the settlement at the end of the year. After that, you can discuss the publicity fee with Mr. Motura," he replied. .

"So fast?" Song Ya felt a little pained.

"How much did your record sell? Let's do the math, it's a good deal." He said, "And this is your first single, it must be a hit. MJ spent 20 million. If he didn't have the global I'm afraid it will cost more now for the tour.

"

"That's MJ, how can I compare." Song Ya laughed.

"Don't be so insecure."

He revealed in a low voice, "Your debut album will probably rank fourth in the RIAA's 1992 album sales, only behind the albums of Garth Brooks, MJ and Nirvana, and behind Billy Ray Cyrus and U2. Before."

"Wow." Song Ya knows that this is usually a result that only superstars can get, although the statistical accuracy of RIAA has always been criticized by the outside world.

"By the way, Miss Mariah Carey is coming to Los Angeles for a commercial performance on the 28th, and you will be there too, right?" he asked.

"Yes."

It is not easy to sing Empire State Of Mind in Los Angeles, and it took a lot of trouble for the two to get together for the same commercial performance.

"Both you and her should pay attention." The other party said suddenly.

"What?" Song Ya's heart tightened, observing his words and expressions, he didn't feel like he was referring to that aspect.

"Some complaints from the organizers of commercial performances have reached the media, saying that you and she are now more and more fond of playing big names, asking for a bigger and more private dressing room, and it has to be a suite or something..."

The other party didn't think about that at all, "Miss Kelly doesn't care, it's okay for DIVA to ask for these things. As a young male singer who just released his first album, you don't look so good to others."

"Thank you for reminding me of this. I will pay attention to it in the future." Song Yaxin said, what do you think I want the suite for, but I really need to keep a low profile. Anyway, I will only use a dressing room, so I will use hers. Alright hee hee.

"Go back and concentrate on recording the album."

At the end of November, the MV filming ended, Song Ya appeared at the gate of the airport with her real girlfriend Fergie under the watchful eyes of the reporters.

"Where's your song? Didn't you prepare one for me?" Fergie took the opportunity to ask for what Song Ya had promised.

"Uh, there's a bit of trouble with sampling rights. I'll let Delay handle it."

In the early 1970s, Tower of Power's Down to The Night club was sampled for Fergie's first single London Bridge, which was in the hands of Warner Records.

Song Ya frowned. Warner Records has been negotiating with Dilai. The bargaining rights such as sampling rights or cover rights may be very cheap or expensive. It all depends on the value of the buyer. As a genius music that has sprung up in the past two years People, if you want to use these yourself, the asking price from the track management side is very high.

"You know, I don't have a relationship with Warner Records."

Although Warner Records was infinitely close to winning him, but after failing to cooperate, the relationship between the two parties quickly turned cold. If the other party does not get a satisfactory offer, they are absolutely unwilling to use the song sampling rights to 'capitalize' the enemy. Therefore, major record companies have a huge repertoire copyright library. Covered or sampled songs by well-known singers are usually selected from the repertoire copyright library of their own companies, but Song Ya did not withdraw them when the apocalypse was given randomly.

"I don't care, I don't care, I still have four months to release the album, and the first order has not yet been determined!"

Fergie shook her shoulders and shook his hands away, "I want to see that song before the end of the year."

"It should be fine, go in quickly, the flight is about to take off."

Song Ya coaxed her away and called De Lai, "If you can't agree with Warner Records, you can get the consent of the composer of DowntoTheNightclub, but that will be more difficult. Big companies have to consider all aspects, the composer Just pointing to those old songs to live." Delay said: "And let's contact the songwriter, Warner Records will be more sure about your desire for the sampling rights of that song."

"Anyway, let's get it done before the end of the year. I really need the sampling rights of that song, and I can make appropriate concessions to Warner Records."

Song Ya rushed to announce the platform for Escuber's new album. The two sang Song Ya's WhereIsTheLove and the other side's It WasAGoodDay together on the stage. After the last basketball court incident, the relationship between the two became weaker. , but when they meet each other, they still call each other very affectionately.

"Congratulations, Cooper, your new album has won the number one album on the B chart."

Escube's new album won this week's album chart champion, and there is no suspense to sell the platinum thread. Although there is no strong enemy, this result has exceeded Song Ya's expectations. The popularity of Rui's new album is also very high. The two leading figures in West Coast gangsta rap and former teammates of NWA have developed very well.

On the east coast, the first monopoly of NAS was not bad, but it was not enough for Eskub and Dre.

"Yeah, don't forget about the joint propaganda." Cooper hugged him, "Can you handle it in the Midwest?" He was testing the impact of GD's incident on Song Ya again.

"There will be a little setback, but it should be fine, you just wait and see."

The stink of GD's reputation and the disintegration of Hell's bobtail cats have greatly reduced Song Ya's influence on small and medium-sized DJs in several states around Chicago, but he has to maintain the Chicago meeting no matter what, which is of great benefit to himself. If it is not possible, Even if he spends money, he will continue to win over DJs.

"Okay, see you in New York next month." Escouber was referring to the WhereIsTheLove co-star.

"See you in New York."

Song Ya said goodbye to him, "This guy, you must have heard something?" Brother Tony had a bad impression of Cooper.

"definitely."

After the disappearance of Big Boss Kenneth, other gangs started to take action on the Hell Bobtail cat's territory a few days ago, and they have already eroded two-thirds of it. Get off the surrounding area of ​​the underground nightclub opposite Old Joe Music.

The imbalance of Chicago's underground forces has caused similar land grabbing incidents to occur in other neighborhoods one after another, and the violent cases have escalated again. Looking back now, the previous large-scale joint law enforcement operations seem to be a bit of a hornet's nest. The only effect is now The gang fights in China are very taboo against harming the innocent, so it can be considered somewhat effective. After all, as long as the innocent are not harmed, the law enforcement units don't care about the killing of gang members. They just want to die a few more.

"No one on the road is afraid of us now, right? Brother." Tony asked.

"We don't mess around, so why should we care what they think?"

Song Ya replied, but how could he really not care? People like Escouber are fine, but if Puff Daddy can't keep it under control, there will be new troubles, "Oh!" He sighed, he had no choice but to take one step at a time.

"Willow." Taraji handed over the phone.

"Hey, John, how are you doing?" He wiped his face, calmed down, and answered the phone with a cheerful smile.

"He signed it." The phone was hung up.
