Chapter 56 The Money Tree

"Hollywood is far deeper than the music industry."

Ever since Song Ya revealed that he wanted to invest in the film, Hayden began to persuade him constantly, "The way it operates is incompatible with this era, and the unknown ways in it are probably longer than the Talmud. Let me put it this way, even the black hand The party has all conceded and left. Sony in this book paid a purchase price much higher than the market for Columbia Pictures, and then what? A manufacturing company with the world's top management capabilities is now being played around by several professional managers in Hollywood. Losing money every second..."

"I didn't ask you that."

Song Ya interrupted his nagging, "Just help me find out what filming plans Leonardo DiCaprio has next year."

"All right."

Hayden agreed, "By the way, Daniel invites you to sing. It's better to add another heavyweight song to Mira's first album."

"Heavyweight songs, can I conjure them up?" Without Tianqi, Song Ya didn't have the confidence to come up with any "heavyweight" songs.

"Isn't it okay to write a proposition? You can just take some half-finished products, and I can make a deal with Daniel. The conditions he offers are very good, as long as it is your song... Do you understand what I mean? You are still young, there is no need to be so entangled in songs quality."

Song Ya heard that Hayden was implying that he would take out some goods and hand over the papers, and earn Daniel's money first. It stands to reason that if a composer doesn't worry about quality, the production capacity can indeed be guaranteed, but isn't this 'composer' a counterfeit? , so he still refused.

Before school was over the next day, he asked his teacher for leave to go to Yellowstone Park. When he walked out of the school gate, Aunt Susie had already picked up Emily in a Nissan Bluebird and stopped at a familiar place.

He was about to walk over, "APLUS!" Suddenly someone shouted his nickname loudly.

He looked over, AK was poking out the driver's seat window of the Volvo 760, waving to himself.

"FXXX!"

Before coming to this school, he had already made an agreement with his family and the senior management of this school, not to reveal his identity as APLUS in the new school, but he was ruined by AK's voice, and there happened to be a few people beside him The girls in the same class passed by, and they followed AK's line of sight, and had already focused their attention on themselves.

"Let's go first." He hurriedly greeted Aunt Susie, and then ran into AK's car.

"Sit in the back and come to APLUS." Tony and the others were not there, only Pablo was in the back seat with a cigarette holder in his mouth.

Song Ya switched to the back seat, "What's the matter?" he asked.

"I know you support Old Joe, but Little Lowry and Tony are brothers..."

Pablo didn't mean to let AK drive, but turned his body sideways and said, "I'm straight to the point. Little Lowry transferred to SBK. Do you think there is a chance?"

"How do I know, I'm just a high school student..." Song Ya skillfully used his high school student status to block arrows.

"Stop pretending, I know you are very clear in your heart." Pablo didn't accept this trick, "You are so smart, APLUS..."

"I really don't know, EMI spent 300 million dollars to buy SBK last year, and SBK released so many hit albums and singles this year, do you think that Daniel, the vice president and general manager, is very close to me?"

"I don't want you to know, just tell me if there is a chance according to your judgment, what do you think..." Pablo still didn't give up.

Song Ya would not tell Daniel's evaluation of Little Lowry, "I don't think I know..."

"Ha!" Pablo let out a short laugh, took off his cigarette butt and threw it out of the window, "Old Joe is nice to you, but that's all. There are some things you don't know at all, little Lowry's first album, Before SBK entered the market, he billed us 68,000 copies, actually? He sold at least 80,000 copies, and there may be more! Now you may think that is a small amount of money, but it fully demonstrates Old Joe is not a good bird, I know him too well,

Al, wasn't he the one who kicked him out? "

"I don't understand what you want to express?" Looking at Pablo in front of him, Song Ya felt that the day when he and Old Joe had another showdown was not far away.

"Continue to cooperate with Little Lowry, you two are a match made in heaven." Pablo said: "You write, he sings, let's change the company for the next album, and do a big job!"

Song Ya was almost amused by these words. Really, he almost laughed out loud on the spot. For some reason, Pablo was still dreaming that Lowry was a top rapper.

"I'm not that capable, and I don't want to get involved with you and Old Joe."

He pushed the car door directly, "Also, AK, don't call me APLUS next time near the school, I just want to go to school quietly, okay?"

After closing the car door, Aunt Susie left early, so she simply walked towards home. Anyway, after choosing a school, she purposely rented a nearby house, which was not far away.

Along the way, he was in a very irritable mood. Old Joe asked for a song, and Daniel asked Hayden to ask for a song for Mira. Now Pablo is bluntly asking for a song for little Lowry, and it’s not all for money. Millions, they earn tens of millions, this feeling is very bad, really bad...

In the first apocalypse, he took out the song and gave up part of the copyright. There was no way for him to enter the industry. Old Joe made a lot of money, Little Lowry made a lot of money, and SBK made a lot of money. He recognized it. To put it bluntly, it was a win-win business. Even though Little Lowry's attitude made him uncomfortable later, he could still admit it. At that time, he took the initiative to insert the single into Little Lowry's album, and Little Lowry did it for Tony's sake. Opportunity, after all, Little Lowry is not a prophet, and he is willing to give his partner's younger brother a chance during the release of his first album that is so important to him.

In the second apocalypse, he took out the song, but there was no way. A girl’s song, if not for Mira, would be sung for other audition girls. If not for SBK, it would fall to Warner, Columbia and other major record companies. In his hand, after all, he has no capital. Daniel's 12% royalties and the single producer's 3% share are quite a lot, not to mention relying on this X to get a girl who wants to X. If Mira becomes popular, she will be much richer than he is now. He can still recognize that singers naturally make more money than songwriters. Besides, Mira’s popularity is due to SBK’s ingenious marketing, and her original popularity in the fashion industry. The accumulation has nothing to do with oneself.

But what's up with this idea that everyone is using themselves as a cash cow now?

"Do you really think I'm a fool?!"

"FXXX!"

Walking on the road, he opened his mouth and made a rough sentence, which startled the passers-by nearby.

"Next time Apocalypse, if you can sing by yourself, you can sing it yourself. If you can't sing it yourself, you can set up a record company as the producer. The singer must also be firmly controlled."

He could feel the motivation in his body coming back, which was completely different from the last time he wanted to escape from Nancheng. Song Ya, who had been satisfied with "low desire" for the past two months, disappeared. He felt very hungry now, very Hunger is not physical, but psychological, not human hunger, but wolf...
