Chapter 788? The Last Lesson
"I'm sorry, Daniel..."
Daniel may never know that his gaffe wiped out his last mentality of admiration and admiration for that life mentor back then, and Song Ya even wanted to say a few perfunctory words and leave on the spot.
Using my contract renewal issue with Mariah Carey as leverage to help you keep your job? That's ridiculous. According to the five-year contract extension for a celebrity singer like me, who knows what will happen during the five-year stay at Sony Columbia? Not to mention the fact that the song copyright continues to flow to the ATV/Sony music copyright library, just that little hurdle in my heart is hard to get over.
And he also suggested that I have full control over Mariah Carey... Don't you know that I have a bottom line? Besides, how can she be so easy to control, maybe one day she will give me a two paragraph...
Daniel is not so important now, and Song Ya even has to be on guard in reverse, because he will never renew his contract. He was in front of Hirai when he had a showdown with Sony last time. After Mariah Carey suddenly left alone, she and Sony Schulhoff of Beimi and even the CEO Mr. Nobuyuki Idei talked on the phone to try to save it, but Sony still insisted on including the song copyright of A+ Records in the deal with MJ, so it shows that Sony is definitely ready to bear its own non-renewal. , as the president of Sony Columbia Records, it is impossible for him to be unaware of the psychology of all parties involved in the incident.
After venting, he sat down on the sofa decadently, covering his forehead in silence.
Song Ya chose to stay, nothing else, this trouble was brought to everyone by his wife, and he was not responsible for it. And he just helped himself earn more than 30 million yuan.
"Oh, I almost forgot to mention the business."
Song Ya sat next to him, and had nothing to say: "The Brazilian version of my new album CD and cassette will be released locally in November? Can you postpone my promotion trip to Latin America? The movie I invested in will probably be at that time Premiere."
"Better go."
Daniel wiped his face and calmed down, "The distribution department of the South American branch likes your AiSeEuTePego very much. They won a live broadcast singing show for you across the country in Brazil, and it was very difficult for you to appear as the finale."
"A platter party?" Song Ya asked.
"Of course." Daniel smiled wryly, "Don't worry, you are worthy of your coffee position. Besides, you are not well-known there, and hip-hop music is not heard much in Latin-speaking areas."
"It's just a slobbery song, do I need to make a special song? The piracy problem over there is very serious..."
"Go ahead, we always have to look at the market reaction. American singers take the initiative to sing Portuguese songs, and they will buy it." Daniel persuaded.
"OK, but let me explain in advance that I don't actually speak Portuguese, so don't embarrass me then."
Song Ya shrugged. Most countries in South America speak Spanish, and the market is much larger than the Portuguese-speaking area. There are also a large number of Spanish-speaking immigrants in the United States, so there are many American singers who sing songs in Spanish, but very few sing in Portuguese.
"rest assured……"
The two were silent for a while, "APLUS." This time, it was Daniel who took the initiative to speak, "Recently..."
"I know, everyone has been affected, I'm sorry." Song Ya apologized again.
"Actually, what I want to say is..." Daniel said: "Have you noticed that you have become more and more arrogant recently? I know that you are very successful in the field of technology investment, but the record industry does not cost a dollar. There will be problems if you spend a lot of time managing contacts, for example, this time, if you repeatedly explain the seriousness of the matter to Miss Kelly..."
"I said so."
Song Ya said helplessly: "I told her before, and I also analyzed the pros and cons clearly. Of course, I didn't keep reminding her, and I didn't use an overly harsh tone... In addition, the negotiation between Sony and MJ dragged on for too long , Later I almost forgot about it, it was my problem.”
"Well, I can understand, and don't blame yourself. But to be honest, your change of attitude has been felt by everyone, but no one will announce it."
Daniel asked, "Walt fell and hurt at home,
Have you ever visited? "
"Uh, Mimi has been there, I... I invited him to a party at Bedford Hills." Song Ya recalled that she had never visited Walt at home.
"He was a great help when you signed to Sony Columbia Records, and he wrote so many hit songs for Miss Kelly. He has a relatively detached status in the company, but he is respected by everyone. You must not treat him like that. Relations are strained. And..."
When Song Ya was about to agree, Daniel said again: "This time NAS also followed us in dishonestly bringing the copyright of the song into the transaction, and you have to appease him. He has a lot of influence on the streets of Queens."
"NAS and I are brothers, don't worry, I'll call him later and apologize." Song Ya nodded in resignation.
"No, it's not that simple. Your A+ record signed Jazzy, right? Jazzy immediately hyped himself in his hometown of Brooklyn after getting a singer contract, and Newman told me that NAS had always looked down on Jazzy before. You should consider their feelings before deciding on this matter.”
Daniel said: "There are some other people. In short, you can't ignore your old friends in the record industry, otherwise they will get upset and reveal something about you. Be careful. If one day we really turn against Sony, And Sony chose to suppress those little singers who followed us at that time, and our relationship in the record industry may suffer a chain reaction, one by one all betray us, such as Shakira, her manager Estefan said to Miss Kelly I’m very dissatisfied with his sudden betrayal. I heard that Miss Kelly used to steal his wife Gloria’s song? Listen to me, don’t be too proud of APLUS.”
"Um……"
Daniel is indeed very confided, but now let himself go back to the party to socialize and win over others one by one? Although I certainly don't mind doing these things when I have free time, but because I don't have enough time, the cost-effectiveness is not cost-effective...
A new album will be released in October, and A+CN will also start a trial broadcast. In November, MTV will have an unplugged concert, and Cat and Mouse Game will start drawing. In December, there will be four large-scale concerts, and DTS will be launched. I have to go to publicity, go to school and take care of business...
I've taken the other, harder road Daniel, becoming a tycoon, so all the estrangement won't be a problem, by maintaining relationships to guard personal friendships? It's better to be a feared existence of others, as long as I climb fast enough! I never wanted to be an arrogant person, but sometimes inadvertent decisions are naturally arrogant in the eyes of others. There is no way, because my energy is beyond their imagination, including you...
"I'll fix it, don't worry too much, Daniel, I feel like you didn't rest well last night?"
Daniel couldn't teach himself anything, Song Ya got up and stretched out his hand to say goodbye.
"Your new album will be a hit."
Daniel sent him to the door, "It's still the same sentence, reconcile with your wife as soon as possible, and don't talk about contract renewal with Sony over me, especially her."
"Do you think I can still control her?"
"Be cruel to APLUS, control, control her, for me!"
