Chapter 64 Technical Control

"Daniel, how are you thinking? Isn't the current world situation clear enough? It's almost over! You know, my father is a leader in the Ermao military circle. Kill back to Kiev..."

As soon as Mr. Jovovich opened his mouth, he was talking about the situation in the world. Even the master of deception, Daniel, couldn't stand it. "I don't know much about world politics. You should talk to APLUS more." Daniel pointed at Song Ya, causing trouble .

"You are APLUS?"

Mr. Jovovich turned his head and looked Song Ya up and down, with a bad expression on his face.

"Hello, Yue...uh, Mr. Jovovich, we talked on the phone." Song Ya had no choice but to stretch out her hand.

"Humph."

Mr. Jovovich grabbed his hand, secretly exerting force, "You and Hayden and that agent stay away from my daughter, you black Grandet."

"Gron... what?"

Song Ya didn't understand this polite metaphor for a while. He had clearly rejected his investment request on the phone earlier, and then asked Hayden and Mira's agent to prevent the parents from getting involved with Mira's income. I hate it.

"Yi Gangnong is a miser, boss." Song Asheng explained in Chinese.

"I was doing it for Mira's sake." Song Ya curled her lips in disdain, and pulled out her hand. When she saw it, the place pinched by the other party turned white.

"The best people in the world are her parents!"

Mr. Jovovich shook his hand straight, and Song Ya's hand was not weak.

Too lazy to talk nonsense with this guy, Song Ya left after finishing the settlement of the income, leaving Song Asheng to deal with follow-up matters at SBK, he found Hayden and Al outside, and went directly to visit the next cooperation target, Atlantic Records.

Similar to SBK's status in EMI North America, Atlantic Records is also a leader among Warner Records' labels. The president, Doug Morris, is a 50-year-old white man with a kind face.

He treated Song Ya more cautiously than Daniel. He first listened to I feel it coming with several executives in a small projection hall, and after a brief discussion, he invited Song Ya and Hayden in.

Several executives are white and black. As the rumors say, Atlantic Records is very tolerant to the black group.

But this is not necessarily a good thing, "Look, I guessed right? It really is a shiny white guy." An old black man among the executives shouted angrily when he saw Song Ya.

Yes, mixed races are discriminated against by whites and disliked by blacks.

Doug smiled and waved to Song Ya, "Come here, boy, sit here."

Song Ya went to sit down.

The black old man had another opinion on Hayden, "Hire a white agent, pick up a white girl, this kid is not my own, the previous rumors are indeed true."

"Uh, that was a misunderstanding. The last audition in SBK..." Song Ya held back her breath, trying to explain clearly the elimination of black girls in the last audition.

"Shut up, Steven."

The black old man named Steven wanted to refute, but Doug stopped him decisively, "Don't worry about that old guy, I like your second-hand shop, we all like it, and Steven likes it too, isn't it Steven? ?”

“Nice second-hand shop.”

Steven is very matter-of-fact, "To de Klerk... the style is starting to be biased, but we black people like the content of the lyrics, but this song I feel it coming..." He nunu mouthed at the record player in the corner, "the more Going further and further away, what the hell is using so much electronic music? And I also learned from MJ, and I can’t sing well. You know, apart from making records, the main business of singers decades ago was to perform in various places, such as Broadway, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas. Vegas... Good singing skills still require hard work and perseverance. This year is not good enough, singers treat themselves like nobles, and it is more difficult to serve each other, but first-line singers can still sing the song three times.

What about you? The sound of the electronic sound is changed, and the sound is modified in the later stage. It is a fucking fake in the ears of the audience. "

"Uh..." Song Ya was speechless.

"The times are improving Steve." Doug softened his cheeks for Song Ya, "Don't pay attention to this old brain." He pointed to his forehead.

Steve mumbled something and closed his mouth.

Doug’s conditions are similar to Daniel’s. It is a rigid rule to release the album within two years, provide help in post-production, and compare the promotion with second-line singers. It can be said that he is very sincere.

"We'll think about it again and give you an answer as soon as possible."

Song Ya and Hayden left, and Al outside approached mysteriously and whispered, "I saw Pablo in the building just now."

"You read that right?" Song Ya's first reaction was that Pablo came to find him, but it was impossible after another thought.

"That's right, how could I not recognize him." Al said.

"It seems that Pablo's next home for Little Lowry is very likely to be Atlantic Records."

Hayden analyzed: "Before Old Joe and SBK cooperated, Pablo had been connected with Warner Records, and Atlantic Records belonged to Warner, and they took good care of black singers."

"Since that's the case, then this one won't consider it."

Song Ya didn't want to come all the way to New York to go around and work with Little Lowry, "The next stop is Sony Columbia, right?"

"Well……"

Hayden said: "Tommy Motura is busy, so we probably won't see him this time."

"Oh! Go and try."

Half an hour later, the three of them walked into the 30-story black building of Columbia Records. In a small reception room, they saw a male producer and a well-known arranger in the industry, Walter Afanageff. He and Joe Mr. Vovich is also a white man of Mao origin, but he is from Da Mao, while Mr. Jovovich is from Er Mao.

On the contrary, he spoke highly of I feel it coming, "Not bad, it's very innovative, and the arrangement is very well done."

He took off his earphones, "APLUS, Tommy told me about you on purpose, the conditions remain the same, you come, single release and promotion are the same as second-tier singers, there is no limit on the release time, but you still have to sign a release contract , your debut album, and all songs before it, must be released by Columbia Records."

It seems that this condition is the best one can get. "In the later stage..." Song Ya still wanted to fight for it, "Mr. Afanakeff, you know, A+ record technology is not strong enough."

"Just call me Walter."

The other party continued: "We can provide equipment and venues. If it does not affect the normal use of our own people, please note that if it does not affect the normal use of other singers, it means that you cannot even determine the recording time. Other singers use recording during the day. studio, you have to work at night, and the singer suddenly wants to record, you have to give up the recording studio. This is usually the treatment of a third-tier or even lower unknown singer. As for the later stage, I will let my people give you help within their ability , but it was a verbal agreement, and A+ Records had to pay us for the work of the post crew.”

"This is too..." Hayden expressed dissatisfaction.

Walt shook his head, "Sorry, that's all I have."

"Okay, let's think about it again." Song Ya got up and said goodbye.

"APLUS."

Walter sent them downstairs, and suddenly said, "As far as I am concerned, at some point, a verbal agreement will be more useful than a contract in black and white."

"Uh..." Song Ya was a little uncertain about his overtones, "Walter, just say it clearly, I'm still a high school student, and I just celebrated my sixteenth birthday not long ago."

"All right."

Walt thought for a while, and didn't make any detours anymore, "I'm a techie, I like new things, APLUS, I hope you come, but I can't change anything, let alone affect Motura. However, if you join Columbia, I will It is within my authority to help you as much as possible."

He smiled embarrassedly, "Of course, I'm a soft-spoken person here, and I hope you are mentally prepared."
