Chicago 1990

"For the time being, I have not found any problems in the first million sales of IFeelItComing. I have asked the people below to take over the information and slowly check the information, and focus my energy on the first million sales of RememberTheName. This is also the earliest you can settle according to the contract. Sony Columbia Records must settle this part before the end of November. This part of your personal and company’s estimated income of more than 4 million yuan will be a key point. According to your financial situation, it will be completely after you get this money. He has the capital to fight against Motula for a long time. If he doesn't make any extra moves."

Three days later, Song Ya received a call from Samuel in the car, "OK, I see, have you got the results of your rough audit of my total record sales?"

"Yes, wait."

Samuel searched for a while, "IFeelItComing, North Rice sales 2.03 million, overseas sales 310,000. RememberTheName, North Rice sales 3.27 million, overseas sales 280,000. EmpireStateofMind, North Rice sales 1.14 million, overseas sales 650,000. Trumpet, North Rice Sales of 860,000 and 110,000 overseas. I have to say that you are the big winner this year, APLUS."

"Wow, I didn't expect there to be so many." Song Ya heard him report these numbers as if he saw the money printing machine turning on, "What about my estimated income?"

"If this figure is true, I guess Sony Columbia will not make false accounts. Your total personal income is about 7.5 million dollars, and the company's income for A+ records is about 20 million!" Samuel replied excitedly.

"Based on this income, what advice do you have for me?" Song Ya asked.

"The first option is that you pay Sony Columbia Records 5 million in compensation and give up the release of the first album. In that case, you can't take any of the six singles except Showmethemoney, and you can only stay in Sony Columbia. Showmethemoney did not sign the single release. The contract, and FeelItStill signed the single release contract but was later voluntarily suspended by you. Motula will be very angry at first. If he freezes the release of your six singles, then your subsequent income will basically be ruined, 2750 If you subtract 5 million, you can probably take less than 22.5 million and go free."

Song Ya made a mental calculation, "If I agree to Motula's terms, not only will the first album be issued smoothly, but I will also get his 30 million contract fee, which is nearly 100 million dollars in income, haven't you calculated it? 100 million to 20 million, this is too bad."

"But you are not willing to agree to his terms."

Samuel murmured, and he said again: "Listen to me, you have not yet counted the signing fees of your free agency with other record companies. Also, I said that Motura would be very angry at first, but wait for him. After replying soberly, there is a high probability that your six singles will be released as an EP, and you can still get the relevant part of the proceeds. So, it is not 100 million to 20 million..."

"Forget it, I won't choose the first choice. Even if I became a freelancer, because I didn't release a single, then six good songs were left in Sony Columbia, and I also faced revenge from Motula, and other record companies signed I will keep the price down. Besides, I’m not sure whether Motula will release those six songs after he calms down. He has a strong desire to control and his personality is the same. He will definitely do everything possible to ruin me. , Without those six songs, I don’t know how long and how long my first album will wait..."

Samuel continued, "OK, the second option. You stick to ihateuiloveu's contract release period. At that time, you will not pay five million to give up the release of the single, but it depends on whether Motura is willing to pay you 500. Wan will also freeze your first major."

"He would definitely do that." Song Ya said.

"Well, 27.5 million plus 5 million. You will leave with more than 30 million dollars after the expiration of the distribution contract with Sony Glenbia, leaving six songs, and then signing with other companies, except for a contract. Extra money... I can also look forward to the income of Motula's release of EP in the future."

"Won't Motula hate me more? He will definitely try to discredit me, and the time will be too long. By then I will be a newcomer who hasn't posted anything, maybe the fan base will be wiped out. "

Samuel said: "That's it, the third option, you pay 20 million, let the next record company pay another 30 million, 50 million to buy those six singles from Sony Columbia Records, and your A+ Records also has to agree to sign a five-year distribution contract with the next company, including your five-year two-special or two-plus-one-special. This way you are almost completely out of the house, but the advantage is that the first album can be released as soon as possible. Then A+ Records is still an independent company, and your relationship with Motura will not be so stale."

"Two majors in five years? Can't one major in two years?" Song Ya asked.

"Then there won't be any next players who are willing to take risks. After all, they paid 30 million to buy six singles. Four of the capitals have been released, and they have basically exhausted their buying. They can only bet on your first college The quality of selling and your sub-specialties has not dropped significantly. There may be 30 million people who are willing to go to the gambling table. No matter how high it is, it is impossible." Samuel said: "This is calculated by our Yongdao through mathematical models. , If you insist on taking those six songs away, but you don’t want to accept that A+ records are controlled by others."

"50 million, will Motula let go?" Song Ya asked.

"It will definitely be released. He freezes you. Originally, your follow-up single plus the first exclusive income of Sony Columbia Records could not get a point. This has caused tens of millions of hidden losses to their company. Rejecting the 50 million, his own seat is absolutely unstable, and MJ's album sales will not save him." Samuel said: "Of course, your attitude must be firm, and you must show it to the management behind Motura. If you take a firm attitude and Motula suppresses you, you will no longer cooperate, you must redeem yourself and leave, and you have to prove to the next company that you are worth the 30 million they gave."

"Redemption..."

This redemption is much more tragic than the one I envisioned a few days ago, "I will think about it again. You should also take advantage of this time to perfect your mathematical model and see if there is anything better. solution."

"OK, I have to remind you that it is increasingly difficult for independent small and medium record companies to survive. The acquisition of Baotuan by the recording industry is the general trend." Samuel hung up.

"I am different, I have apocalypse songs..."

Song Ya still holds the confidence of the traverser. It's just that although an apocalyptic song has been coming, the speed is still a bit too slow. It hasn't even collected an album for a year and a half. "I think it's a bit too greedy... "He shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"APLUS?"

Without realizing that the car had stopped, Old Mike opened the door for him, "Okay, just come." He cleared up his mood and got into under the **** of Old Mike, Marvota and others... the city is called What is it? It doesn't matter anymore. Anyway, I have to catch two nightclubs at night, both of which are not small in scale. I sing a few songs and earn 20,000 dollars. Then I will take a rest and rush to the next city.

In the evening, he had just taken a bath, washed away the exhaustion of running around, and came out to see Fergie was flipping through his manuscript paper, "Is there a new work?" After all, she was only seventeen years old, and she had recovered from the shock of the single being frozen. I came here, maybe there is no recovery, but Song Ya's new work successfully diverted her attention, "What is this?" She flipped through the staves, "Pure music?"

"Yes, symphony, I just wrote it for fun." Song Ya replied.

"Dangdang~www.wuxiaspot.com~Dangdangdang, Dangdangdang..." Fergie snorted a few times, "You are so talented dear..." She turned her head back in admiration, "I hate it, just take a shower and just take a shower. Run out, ugly."

The two kids were about to fight when the phone rang, it was Song Asheng.

"What's wrong?" Song Ya connected.

"There is another new situation. In our 12 rental units in Tribeca, a load-bearing column cracked just now, and the housing management unit asked us to conduct a thorough overhaul." Song Asheng's tone was a little worried.

"It's overhauled, what's the matter?" Song Ya asked.

"Not only must it be overhauled, but it can't be rented out during this period of time! When it will resume, we will have to wait for the acceptance notice from the management unit!" Song Asheng said: "We not only have to bear the cost of all tenants who move to the hotel temporarily and find a house, You have to reduce the rent for one month, maintenance costs, and the rental income from the management unit before the acceptance is gone. That money is an important part of your mortgage."

"Call the police and ask Goodman to report to the local police. What kind of ghost pillar will not crack so coincidentally."
