Chapter 918 Difficult
Harley left Chicago the next day with the high-risk crew who had a busy schedule, and there was a small episode in the middle. After Steven Seagal had a rest, he offered to teach himself some fighting skills and record a short video, but got rejected.
As a superstar who also wants to star in tough action movies and is much more popular than him, Song Ya will not give him the opportunity to show off to the media that he has worshiped him as a teacher. There's too much of this kind of thing in Hollywood.
Meera stayed at Highland Park until mid-April.
"I won't release the draft for now. It might be better to release this news when the Calamity of the Python is released."
In the office of the president of A+ Records, Song Ya watched Mira sign her five-year two-specialty singer contract, and asked, "Are you going to the airport later?"
"Yes, Hayden will send me to South America." Mira stared blankly at the wet ink on the contract.
"Congratulations, Mira, you've returned to the music industry again. I know it's not easy." Hayden complimented her, "It's a great honor to represent you again, don't worry, the boss and I are here, in the future..."
"Another five years..." Mira looked up at Song Ya melancholy, with complicated eyes.
"For now, let's just concentrate on shooting the Calamity of the Python, Mira, it's actually not easy to get the heroine of this project with a production cost of 45 million."
Song Ya could understand everything in her eyes, "I will ask Linda to start preparing for your new album immediately, starting with forming your rock accompaniment band, A+ records are not SBK, I have the final say here."
"Um."
She got up and threw herself into Song Ya's arms for a while, "Then... let's go!" Then she suddenly smiled cheerfully at the female manager and Hayden.
"Don't be intimidated by the tropical rainforest. Director Luis Rocha is not a sadist. The crew will spend most of their time in the studio in his hometown of Peru, where the scenery is beautiful..."
Sending them to the parking lot, Hayden's nagging fades away as the doors close.
Mira rolled down the car window and stared at herself in a depressed mood. Song Ya raised her hand and waved it as a farewell.
"At present, many record companies have joined the competition for Boyz II man. Boyz II man's inclination is unknown. Is it possible for us..." Back to the office, Linda asked.
"Don't get fancy Linda,
Boyz II man is more popular than me, with higher record sales, better music reviews, and even farther rankings than me. From 1992 to now, they have won almost a quarter of all the weekly B charts. , with their proud personalities, how could they be signed to an A+ record..."
Song Ya shook her head, "And I can't afford their sky-high signing bonus. However, I do have a signing goal..."
Take out the printed documents and a CD from the bag and hand them to Linda, "These two Frenchmen, you have to do your best to get them signed in, the first priority, the sooner the better."
"Daft Punk?"
Linda flipped through the files, "Two white DJs playing Garage and House?"
"Yes."
Song Ya nodded. When watching the European DJ tour program on MTV a few days ago, I happened to see the DJing scene and interviews of these two young Frenchmen. I Feel It Coming is quite similar to the apocalypse in Yellowstone Park. Although there are many mediocre followers of that song over the years, I have been in the industry for six years, and the gap between artistic imprint and musical talent can be felt.
He immediately let William Morris get their information, and thought that in the last scene of the original MV of I Feel It Coming, two people wearing helmets appeared inexplicably, and they should be the two of them, although there is no sign of them wearing helmets yet.
"They are rapidly becoming popular in Europe. The French call them the new wave of the new wave of music. One of their songs has also entered the British single gold chart. It seems that they have signed a record company. It is called... Soma Quality? Anyway, William Morris It was this name that was found, so it should not be strong."
After finally meeting the original characters of Apocalypse Music, of course we are determined to win, "We have some advantages, they like me, the US market is the largest, and Chicago is the birthplace of House music, and I also asked David Bowie to help spread the word. "
I’m ashamed to say it, but it was seeing them frankly like I Feel It Coming in the interview, saying that the song inspired them a lot and adored themselves, Song Ya was 100% determined to poach people.
"Okay, I'll contact their manager right away." Linda wrote it down carefully, "Boss, speaking of which, you should be chased like Boyz II man this year. It's almost May, and you and Sony Columbia Records The contract expires early next year. But I..."
"William Morris is doing his best to get me in touch."
People are deader than people, and Boyz II man is the sweet pastry that the six major record companies are chasing this year, but he...
After accusing SBK of discriminating against Robert and poaching Daniel, the president of their North Rice District, he has long been a stranger to EMI.
For the Def Jam record of the Polygram series, after cooperating with Daniel and making a lot of money, the beam has already been settled.
Not to mention Sony Columbia, they chased Motura, poached him, meddled in the appointment and dismissal of the president, discriminated against recording threats, and even threatened Sony Electronics with legislation. Everyone knows their own thorns.
The Warner Department, not long ago, just fell out with the friend of Def American boss Rick Rubin, and his family has a Madonna who has always wanted to collect stamps...
Now only BMG and Universal are not offended, but now that I have a 'reputation', I don't want to sign directly. If I want to sign, I have to sign the entire A+ record release contract. Gao, both of them should have doubts at the moment.
The energy of the BMG department in the United States is slightly lower, but they still have the DIVA of Whitney Houston, and their own friend BABYFACE, but since BABYFACE asked about Boyz II man last time, he didn’t ask if he could sign himself. Very pessimistic. Besides, Pladdy's Bad Boys record also belongs to the BMG department, so I don't really want to be in the same company as him.
The only one left is Universal Music. The big boss of Universal, Bronfman Jr., is currently the only one who actively asked if he would like to sign a contract. The two parties have cooperated in the film and wine industry, and the relationship is harmonious. David Geffen was also quite influential with Universal.
But... business is business. The two tycoons of Universal are not vegetarians. If there is only one buyer, the price of A+ records cannot be raised. In fact, we must be in a weak position, and the feedback from William Morris is also the same.
After so many years of tossing and being tough in the record industry, I have earned a share that most singers can't earn. The price is that I almost blamed everyone without knowing it!
Song Ya also probably knows the wind comment that he circulated among the executives of the six major record companies, two words: 'difficult to deal with! '
With her paranoid character, Song Ya is also afraid that when she goes to Universal, she will turn against Bronfman and David Geffen... Then even other businesses will be affected.
Thinking of these, his brows frowned.
"Let's talk about something happy, your 21st album music video will be released tomorrow." Linda comforted the boss.
