Chapter 473

The three looked at each other's backs and smiled, "It's a beautiful end, almost a total victory." Hamlin said.

"yes."

Although he always put on a tough and indifferent attitude to the outside world, Song Ya also gradually realized the feeling of being entangled in lawsuits. There is always a worry of fear of losing that pops up in his thoughts from time to time, which affects his mood very much. It's an a-list, it's very troublesome to go to the court, for example, now, people walking around in the corridors of the court are pointing at themselves, not all of them are legal elites, many of them are specially here to observe or the family members of prisoners, Long Snakes are mixed, very unsafe.

Since the relationship with Mariah Carey became the darling of the media again after the exposure, I have the opportunity to chat with reporters, and it is not a good choice to accept the interview with the local court in New York as the background of the screen.

The other party's lawyer got 250,000 yuan in settlement money, and then divided it with the plaintiff group according to the agreement. I'm afraid I won't even be able to recover the cost of the lawsuit, but for me, it's far more than the two. 150,000, excluding the expenses of going to and from the court, Hamlin and his law firm alone earned nearly one million in working hours, legal fees, court fees, and hiring private investigators, so the lawsuit should be less. better.

"What other lawsuits do I have?" he asked.

"You have no personal defendants. As the plaintiff, it is mainly a warning lawsuit against two unknown people's song copyright."

Hamlin recalled, "But the companies under your name have a lot of lawsuits. A Audio has several lawsuits against the infringement of the copyright library of synthetic sounds, and A Apparel has lawsuits against pirated T-shirts. Bath, DTS and Palm have all filed lawsuits. Patent lawsuit, defendant or sue. Your dance out of my life crew also has a lawsuit, but it should be a farce. A young actor didn’t get the role promised by someone, so he sued the crew in a fit of rage. There was also a dancer who was rehearsing When I fell down, I also sued the crew."

"This kind of thing is very common in Hollywood." Hayden explained.

Each company has its own legal affairs, and Song Ya also knows that this is basically the daily life of American companies. After careful questioning, he didn't notice any danger, so he dropped his hand. No matter how energetic he is, he can't figure out all the inside information.

"Oh, by the way, and Delay mentioned to me that you want to buy the right to cover a song." Hayden said, "Do you still want him to follow up?"

"Of course, I'll go back to Chicago and talk to him myself."

The accompaniment copyright of mambono.5 is in the hands of the deceased pérezprado family. As the former 'King of Mambo', pérezprado's family knows the value of his works. They are not outsiders in the music circle, and they know the market well. They inquired When it came to the movie project of Dancing Out of My Life, I thought that Song Ya bought the cover rights to be included in the soundtrack of Dancing Out of My Life, so the asking price was increased. In addition to the 6% of the copyright of the composition, I also asked for a lot of money A one-time cover transfer fee.

Song Ya hurried back to Chicago, and immediately called Dilai to talk about it.

"What should I do? Direct copyright infringement, release the song first and then file a lawsuit?" DeLay asked, "They have too high expectations now."

"I don't want to do this, keep procrastinating, no, just cut off contact, and you also pretend that you will no longer cooperate. When the soundtrack of Dance Out of My Life is released, don't they think I want to use the song in the soundtrack of the movie? "Song Ya made a decision.

"Dance Out of My Life soundtrack won't be released until next summer, right?" DeLay laughed. "They won't be able to hold their breath by then."

"I think so too."

Song Ya replied, at this time Linda brought in the phone, "Miss Kelly."

Mariah Carey asked her mother and Aunt Susie the exact time to meet on the phone, and Song Ya used this excuse to go back to Chicago.

Song Ya has already figured out her inner thoughts very clearly. She is very willing to marry herself, and she also looks forward to marriage, but she didn't say it out of arrogance. I'm afraid she is already waiting for her to surprise her. .

"I just arrived in Chicago,

I haven't had time to tell Aunt Susie yet, so don't worry. "Song Ya laughed.

"I'm not in a hurry." She immediately cleared up, "It's my mother who wants to meet."

"Yeah, I understand." Song Ya chatted with her, and naturally talked about her brother Morgan's recommendation of Brenda, "If Brenda really meets the qualifications, maybe I will sing the song I wrote to her , Put it in the soundtrack of the movie "Dance Out of My Life", you have seen the score, and the few songs with stepup."

"Brenda is good to me, and I want to repay her as much as my brother. But she will remind me of the singing time, to be honest, it's not a good memory." Mariah Carey said: "You first How about asking Donovan?"

Diva's sensitivity in the music business is very strong, "If Brenda becomes popular, my little singer past will be brought up again by the media." She said.

Donovan will also be her agent since 1994, and has already taken over some affairs in advance.

"The quality of those songs won't threaten your status." Song Ya explained, "Well, I'll ask Donovan first."

In fact, he was not in a hurry to make this call, but asked Dion Wilson to report to him about the audition of the female singer first.

"A female singer who meets the requirements you want."

Dion Wilson brought a lot of resumes and video tapes, "The template is Losonda from tlc group, right?"

"Where's the resume of the unsuccessful girl?" Song Ya asked as she flipped through the pages, but she didn't find the female singer who appeared in the Apocalypse song.

"Then you'll have to watch it for a long time," Dion Wilson said.

"Bring them all, let me see their looks." Song Ya replied, in fact, he was afraid of missing someone. A record wanted to sign a rookie female singer who sang rhythm and blues, and there was an endless stream of girls coming. According to the staff's small report, Dion Wilson, who was in charge of the sound audition, was very 'cool', and even let Big A and others get a share of the action.

As long as it is not too much, Song Ya has no intention of pursuing it. Dion Wilson's character is still reliable. The music production director sneaks to audition for female singers. This kind of thing is too normal in the industry.

"Then you have to come with me to the warehouse." Dion Wilson took him to the warehouse, carefully rummaged through several large file boxes, but there was still nothing, so he had to give up.

"In fact, there is a girl who perfectly meets your requirements, but it's a pity that she has already signed to another record company." Seeing him disappointed, Dion Wilson took the initiative to say, "Want to see it?"

"who?"

"Alia Howden is only thirteen years old this year, but her voice is really..." Dion Wilson gasped in admiration, "A born rhythm and blues singer is no worse than Lossonda."

"let me see."

Song Ya asked Dion to find the information video, and went back to the office to take a closer look. Indeed, the 13-year-old black girl was already very mature, her face was also of mixed race, she was very beautiful, she sang really well, and fully met her requirements for those songs.

It's a pity that when Song Ya saw the logo of Jiva Records on the corner of the video tape, she felt crossed in her heart. Jiva Records and Quincy Jones were closely related, and she would never be able to poach anyone. In New York, Daniel had already started to deprive Russell Simmons' control of defjam records, the feud between the two sides will deepen.

"Forget it, people from Jiva." He said regretfully.

"Indeed, Jiva has already planned to support her, especially Lau Kelly, who is expected to release her debut album next year." Dion Wilson nodded.

"It depends on who you choose." Song Ya waved his hand.

"Let's say it in advance, it's not as good as Aaliyah, and it's not as good as Lossonda, and it's even far behind."

It's still an old problem that Dion Wilson vaccinated him. A truly talented female singer will show a higher quality and maturity than the surrounding peers in the choir or interschool performances when she is about ten years old. The record company will cast a wide net, sign people early, and then support them on the road of music, and cultivate real potential new stars under the high-base talent resources and fierce competition.

A Records is still far behind in terms of talent reserves, and now they can only 'pick up the leaks'.

"Let's see." But Song Ya didn't plan to do that. The synonym of lightly spreading resources is to spend money extensively. He has the help of Tianqi. Didn't he just snatch William Adams and his teammate under his command? Much simpler and more efficient.

The two chatted while watching the video, "How about the album brought by William Adams?" Song Ya asked.

The last time he returned to Chicago was very tight, he only chatted with William Adams and the others, and the impression was very good.

In addition to robbing people from Big E, he also grabbed the first album of the William Adams group that was killed.

"Rap and funk on the West Coast is basically Dre's way, without the gangster element."

Dion Wilson complimented: "Your vision is better than mine. They have great potential. Although they are still lacking in popularity, if that record is released, it should sell better than Al's first album. Their music line is also in line with what you are staying away from. Gangsta rap design."

Al's first album was also released in August, and he has already started to go to some radio stations and nightclubs to test the waters. Song Ya danced the first single aintcha given in the soundtrack of my life from the original version, and has not returned yet.

"Then include this album in the 1994 release plan." Song Ya said: "In 1994, in addition to dancing the soundtrack of my life, there was also mon's new album and their first album. The task was a bit heavy."

The two danced and watched, but they didn't find a female singer with great potential. They were indeed far behind. Song Ya packed up her disappointment and called Donovan.

"It doesn't matter, if you can help Brenda become popular, the public will only praise Mariah Carey for nostalgia, and your kindness in helping your girlfriend and friends."

Donovan responded, "This will be a good story. As long as we properly guide the public opinion and replace the recommender who spoke to you from Morgan to Miss Kelly herself, her brother Morgan is not a big mouther. It should be fine. Of course, the premise is Brenda must not be more popular than her."

"probably not."

Song Ya replied that the female solo songs in the soundtrack of Dancing Out of My Life are all good rhythm and blues music, but they are not as popular as Fergie's.

"Sorry to excuse me, the news just now, Jordan's father was killed." Linda opened the door and came in, reporting an unexpected news.
