Chapter 889

"Get the deep sea recording studio ready for me. I want to record a song. This is the melody and other requirements."

After the Grammy night, the public opinion quickly polarized. There were those who sneered at the couple’s jokes, while others attacked the Grammy for deliberately playing tricks and being opaque. taste.

The two themselves declined most of the interviews. Mariah Carey took the Gulfstream 4SP back to her hometown of New York to lick her wounds that night, and Song Ya also took a flight to return to the campus in Chicago the next day.

After school, he called Dion Wilson, the production director of A+ Records, to his Highland Park home and gave him the song draft of I know you so well, "as fast as possible."

"OK."

Dion Wilson flipped through it casually, "Is the melody too simple? Do you want to deliberately increase the background noise and distortion? You want to play low-fidelity (Low-Fidelity, corresponding to high-fidelity High-Fidelity) retro sound effects? What do you say? Do you think this will be the new trend?"

"Nothing to say, go get ready."

Song Ya was not in the mood to explain too much, "Oh, by the way, have the chorus conductor and vocal coach I asked you to prepare for the church in the northern suburbs gone to work?"

"Go, according to your request, I found a young symphony conductor and a friend who is a vocal coach." Dion Wilson replied: "They are all white, and their level is absolutely fine."

"Well, I will find a chance to check the progress." To continue to create opportunities to meet Old Barn, I am not a person who will give up after a setback.

"Understood. Uh...Last night's Grammy..." Dion Wilson reported hesitantly, "A+ Records has received countless interview invitations, and they all want you to talk about your opinion on the Grammy judges."

"I know, I'm asking Linda to choose the right media, and you will reject all of them for me for the time being."

As soon as Dion Wilson was dismissed, Linda walked into the study again, "Quincy Jones' youngest daughter, Rashida Jones who works for VIBE magazine, is just outside the villa, she drove here by herself, please be sure to meet her. "

Song Ya laughed dumbly, "My enemies are afraid that I will go crazy now, aren't they?"

"Given your past conduct, yes."

Linda looked at her young boss worriedly: "How are you going to get revenge on Rick Rubin?"

"I'm not going to do anything to him..."

Song Ya really felt a little guilty towards Rick Rubin,

Based on this year's big bull market, especially the big bull market of Internet stocks, if DeLay succeeds in listing the American music website next year, even if the market value is estimated at 100 million, the right to use the name of this website will definitely be worth a lot.

And Rick Rubin owns 49% of the shares of American Music Magazine. Based on the calculation that the editor-in-chief Shirley Fleming loses almost one million dollars a year, if he loses 510,000 dollars, he will also follow suit. Four hundred and ninety thousand yuan has been lost for several years. Now the biggest piece of fat, the right to use the name of this magazine was stolen from him by myself and Di Lai by using information asymmetry. It also brought the first and very high-end traffic of classical musicians and professional enthusiasts to the website. According to Delay, many of their long posts are still talked about by new users.

"You mean...just let him go like this?" Linda was surprised that the boss, who was always vengeful, suddenly changed his temper.

"His bluffing character wants to attribute the power of the collective to himself to revenge and show off to me. He alone can't make me and Mimi nine out of nine. That's good, I will pay a sum of money , buy back his shares in American Music Magazine, so I can count him out of the magazine, and then we can unilaterally claim victory."

Song Ya said: "I think this is enough."

"Wow, it's like Polygram called you 'out' of Def Jam? That magazine is still losing money, and he can walk away with cash. It's not a loss, just like you, losing face but gaining reality profit……"

Linda smiled gratifiedly, "This response is a bit unlike you. Rick Rubin is indeed not very active. Warner doesn't say anything, just the rock music circle he has made friends with, those white people... Sometimes I feel like Felt like we were going to kill the big six record companies."

"Three million. I remember that it was about the same price he bought the shares of those magazines one after another."

Song Ya shook her head and didn't want to talk about it, "Up to 3.5 million, tell him, if you don't accept it, you will go to war. He should know what kind of person I am after I am ruthless."

"OK."

Afterwards, Song Ya met Rashida Jones in the living room. The daughter of Quincy Jones and Jewish actress Peggy Lipton was a bit surprisingly beautiful. Her skin was considered white in the mixed race, so she should have no inheritance. There are too many genes in Quincy Jones, no wonder there was a pen war in the media to protect the reputation of white mothers and 2PAC.

"My dad said it wasn't much of his business this time, believe it or not, APLUS."

However, she and her sister, LL Cool J's ex-girlfriend and 2PAC's current girlfriend Kedada Jones, suffer from the same type of ignorance and princess disease. They have just turned 20, and they are said to be relying on the power of their boss and father It made the editorial department of VIBE Magazine go crazy.

But unlike Kidada Jones, who enjoys the attention of the media and is intoxicated with hip-hop stars, her dress and demeanor are more in favor of the mainstream high-end fashion circle. , "He said that this time the Grammys did treat you and your wife a little too much. If you are willing to accept it, he will show it at the Oscars. You know, my dad is also the producer of the Oscars this year. Oh, you Competing for a cat-and-mouse game, right?" she asked.

"Yes."

The sequel of Dancing Out of My Life is still not showing much improvement. The box office forecast of 30 million yuan remains unchanged. The game of cat and mouse has entered the long-term screening period of less than a hundred theaters. Just wait for the Oscars to win and fight again. "Then it's settled, I'll wait for the good news from the Oscars." Song Ya nodded.

This time Rashida Jones was also surprised, "Uh, my dad also said..."

"That old thing is quite wordy." Song Ya was amused by her.

"you!"

She was irritated, "It seems that everyone is right, you are a complete bastard APLUS." She stood up and flicked her long hair: "The manor is nice, but the furnishings are very tasteless, goodbye!" So it went.

Quincy Jones, he didn't want to get entangled anymore. That old thing made an album for the legendary white singer Frank Sinatra. Bole has a good relationship with the Chicago political circle and the donkey party. He has too many qualifications. If it weren't for his mouth and bad character, his achievements would be much higher than now, and he couldn't completely step on the soles of his feet. Song Ya didn't want to do meaningless things.

Besides, he has to guard against the trick that Motura used to himself before the release of the money train, using the hero Wesley Snipes to design himself, stimulate himself, use his psychology of quick revenge, and worsen the relationship with that movie. As for the relationship between the employer and Sony, the publisher, Motura knows himself too well, and his conspiracy routines are Italian-style, with more than one layer.

Now there are three more urgent matters in front of me, to deal with the divorce, to find a way to get old Barn, and to successfully graduate with a bachelor's degree from the University of Chicago.

No, there is one more thing. The tycoon Picower seems to have forgotten the trouble of introducing himself to the Madoff Fund after he finished the Netscape equity transaction. I called and asked, could it be that I regretted it, damn it.

Over the weekend, he opened I know you so well on A+ Records.

Very simple lyrics and music, he played the guitar by himself, finished it in half a day, after recording, he pushed open the door of the recording studio, Goodman, Hamlin, Sloan and others all arrived, "Is it just these two lines of lyrics over and over again? Simple and rough, but it can clearly convey a very sad emotion." Sloan commented.

"Um."

Song Ya smiled at her, and then confessed to Dion Wilson: "Compress it into...that MP3 format, send someone you can trust to bring it to Delay, he knows when it can be released on the American music website .and save the master tape.”

"What's the meaning?"

Dion Wilson didn't understand, "Aren't you going to release this song through regular channels?"

"Yes, it is probably an underground distribution model through the Internet channel." Song Ya explained: "Actually, it is similar to the underground distribution channel of the radio channel, and the media is different."

"OK."

"You all go out." Sending away Dion Wilson and other people in the recording studio, Song Ya closed the door of the recording studio with a high sound insulation level, and said to her most trusted lawyer and publicist: "I expect that Mimi will announce a reconciliation in the near future. The news of my divorce is less than a week old."

Goodman and Hamlin were naturally prepared, but Ms. Sloan was still kept in the dark, "What!? This is too surprising, because of the failure of the Grammys?"

"No, we actually signed the agreement a long time ago."

Song Ya explained: "Actually, the primary problem that she and I face now is the same as that of MJ and Elvis Presley's daughter. Whoever announces the news first will take the initiative. It is about who dumped whom. According to game theory, she and I interact with each other. The end result of not communicating is that the date of the announcement is infinitely closer to now, today."

"You're going to announce it before she does?" Sloan asked.

"No, I'll wait for her to announce first, I'm a man, I have to be graceful." Song Ya pointed to the recording studio, "But I will release this song through the Internet immediately after she announces."

"It's a very sad song, I understand, you want to create your own bitter lover, right APLUS." Sloan responded quickly.

"Forget it, I'm really in a bad mood right now, otherwise I wouldn't be able to write this song." Song Ya babbled casually.

"That's good, it's good for you all." Goodman and Hamlin looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

"That's how it is, Ms. Sloan, prepare the divorce public relations for me, and Hamlin will continue to act as my spokesperson." Song Ya said: "Goodman, please stay, we will discuss and discuss going to Old Barn again thing."

After the meeting ended, Hamlin pushed open the door of the recording studio, said goodbye to Ms. Sloan, and hurried to his car, "Tim, is Miss Finn there? Well, let her listen..."

He called Xue Linfen, "Miss Finn, are you still in Ireland? Take little Robb back to Los Angeles as soon as possible, the timing is just right."
