Chicago 1990

"It's no wonder that he has been walking around with various priests, rabbis, lamas, spiritualists, Middle Easterners..."

MJ has refused to let go of the copyright library until now, so Song Ya is naturally frustrated. For this day, even the chairman of Sony has done it in advance!

The disappointed anger rushed into the car, spitting MJ along the way, and his mouth kept stinking, "The spirit is empty and confused, and my brain is a mess! I should have arranged for someone to go to him to lurch and brainwash like David Geffen did before. !"

"Is it late now?"

Song Zecheng smiled and accompanied him carefully, "Or...I'll find a Taoist priest and find a way to recommend him? He hasn't tried a Taoist priest yet, right?"

"Yes! Do it properly!"

After years of fighting, Song Ya's willpower has been tempered to be extremely tenacious. As long as there is still a possibility, he will never give up. Although this frustration is extremely strong, MJ may not change his mind in the future, right?

Maybe it’s because I have been fighting with veterans in shopping malls in the past few years, and for a while I didn’t get used to the extremely emotional artist of MJ. After Song Ya's anger diminished a little, he continued to think indomitably, "Also, his family can handle it better..."

"His family can't affect his business..."

Song Zecheng's glasses shone coldly, "Unless he waits until he can manage his inheritance."

"Die early!"

Song Ya blurted out, of course this sentence was angry.

"Back to Chicago?" The muffler of the car turned around and asked.

"Go to Amy."

It's all here, and I'm in a bad mood, and I'm flying around to make myself and his subordinates too tired.

The filming of the live-action fairy tale movie Enchanted Romance starring Amy has ended. This is the first trial of the live-action fairy tale movie strategy. It is related to the life and death of the leader Linton faction in Disney. Although the production cost is only 80 million, it is a touchstone. The attention level of all senior executives of the industry, Bowei Pictures, and the head office even surpassed Pirates of the Caribbean 2, staring at them for fear of backstabs from within.

So she must stay in Los Angeles and be fully committed.

‘Hey! Ijustmet, andthisisrazy, Buthere’smynumber, So, CallMeMaybe...’

It was midnight, and Amy's house was still brightly lit, and it was faintly heard from upstairs that it had been recorded, and I wrote it myself...the CallMeMaybe I copied to her.

"Um?"

Song Ya frowned and went straight to the second floor.

Pushing the door open, his brows stretched out. It turned out that Shakira was here. She and Amy were wearing pajamas and singing karaoke with CallMeMaybe's soundtrack.

The music in the room was very loud, and the two little ladies with their faces facing the sky and their hair was not taken care of.

"what!"

Amy first noticed the person coming in and screamed in fright, but quickly saw that it was her own man, "Honey!?" At once, the little bird giggled quietly and plunged into Song Ya's arms.

"Really annoying!"

Shakira probably thought that the two were deliberately playing a multiplayer game with her again, "Dog man and woman!" As she scolded, she quickly picked up her cosmetic bag and rushed to the bathroom.

"Today is a Lady's party." Amy explained with a smile.

"Hey-hey…"

Song Ya picked her up and followed Shakira, "The makeup is beautiful without makeup, so what makeup can I add at this night."

"Not young..."

Shakira pursed her lips and glanced at the mirror, then secretly put lipstick on her lips with her ring finger.

"Oh, by the way, congratulations on getting the theme song for next year's World Cup."

Her career is developing very well, especially in Latin countries, where she is flying everywhere, and she is busy with commercial tour advertisements. Song Ya put Amy down and held Amy one by one.

"thanks."

Shakira feigned disapproval and replied: "The CallMeMaybe you wrote for Amy is very catchy and has a bit of Avril's taste, but isn't it too drooling?"

"Amy can't sing difficult again." Song Ya replied. The other songs that Disney wrote for Amy were harder to sing than CallMeMaybe.

"She was just helping me practice singing." Amy smiled: "Teacher DIVA...I'm improving very quickly."

In the mirror, one black and two white, one tall and two short, Song Ya immersed himself in the two bunches of fluffy blonde hair and smelled it, "Okay, don't do it, anyway, I'll spend it later, hehe..."

Shakira hurriedly urged Shakira, who was busy, and pressed Amy to the washstand impatiently.

Tonight he is very tyrannical and very happy.

But still not enough.

Not enough to comfort the disappointment and anger suffered at MJ...

"Hayden, let Doug prepare. I want to go to Warner Records today." After Mimi slept, he called Hayden.

Sleep with your copyright! King of Kids!

Comparing me to the music empire? Hum, do you have this strength?

"Here are a few of the Rolling Stones posted here. These are ABBA, Billy Joe, Bee Gees Brothers, AC/DC..."

Warner Music Group currently has two major princes, Warner Records in Los Angeles, and Atlantic Records in New York. In its long history, countless musicians have left a rich library of music copyrights. Doug Morris asked for Next, take him into the exhibition hall and introduce them one by one.

However, Warner Records has historically been known for its management chaos. Many well-known singers, groups, and bands stayed for a while, coming and going, so many collections often only have the copyrights of some albums and songs in their careers, or jointly owned by other companies. , The right of ownership is as chaotic as the heavenly book.

"Of course, Madonna's..."

In terms of status, Madonna is undoubtedly Warner's top card, and has the longest cooperation time. In the exhibition hall, her vinyl records and various honors are naturally the most, occupying half of the wall in a conspicuous position.

"The Green Day..."

"Uh, uh uh."

Doug Morris said that Song Ya listened with great interest and nodded with satisfaction from time to time. The Green Day band is also very popular, which is considered one of the top cards in the rock circle.

However, the manager of the Green Day band is considered a victim of the massive personnel earthquake after the acquisition. In addition, he and Doug Morris had not dealt with each other a long time ago, and they are instigating Green Day to quit.

"Madonna's contract expires next year?"

Song Ya didn't care about these things, and he didn't doubt whether he was using people or not.

The last time Doug Morris was kicked out of Warner shows that he has a lot of enemies here, and they are very strong. According to Daniel’s informant, this time after he came back with his firm support, he didn’t do anything for revenge. , But this is also human nature, all have temperament, who can avoid vulgarity? Song Yazhuang was over if he didn't know.

"Yes, at the end of next year, we have already started contacting her to try to renew the contract..."

Madonna is very shrewd and her team is also very professional. She can cut a piece of meat from Warner Records every time she negotiates a contract extension. Jumping singer, her tour income still belongs to the top group, but the record company doesn't pay much.

The new management, the bad environment and other issues are all obstacles, but Doug Morris, an industry veteran and tinker, can gradually straighten out the global mess of the merger with Polygram, and has worked at Warner for many years. Loyal to herself, Song Ya feels relieved, "Well, you can judge for yourself."

When the big boss came for the first time, all the executives were there, and the legendary African-American musician and president Antonio Reid (LAReid) led the team and moved slowly forward following Song Ya's footsteps.

Donnie Breston, TLk, Arthur, Avril and other singers were all discovered by him or his old partner BABYFACE.

"Quincy Jones's..."

"Haha!" Song Ya saw Quincy Jones' old face with joy, and stretched out a hand to flick his forehead.

But this old thing was indeed invincible back then, and the replicas of the Grammy record player in the showcase were piled up like the wholesale ones.

"Haha! Here, Bo SS, this side belongs to Atlantic Records..."

The Atlantic Records is where Doug Morris really started. He is naturally more familiar with it, like a few treasures, "Zeppelin, Phil Collins, Velvet Underground, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles..."

In an era when discrimination is still prevalent, Atlantic Records is one of the most friendly labels to African-American musicians, except for Motown Records and other African-American labels. Therefore, Doug Morris can do it regardless of whether he goes to Universal or Warner. With the firm support of African-American musicians, he is above Antonio Reid, and blacks have no opinion.

The display space of Atlantic Records is naturally much darker than Warner Records. Since the Jazz Age, countless legendary black singers have stayed here. The earlier the time, the lower the mobility, and the more loyal the singer will stay for decades. There are a lot of them, and they are also diligent in sending songs, so every superstar has a large number of vinyl discs.

"call!"

This is his real territory, and he can leave ‘marks’ everywhere. Song Ya’s mood gradually improved a lot, "What a great treasure!"

Don't listen to the commentary and stroll down, and even start to understand why the Little Bronfman, MJ, Sony, etc. have a perverted collector's addiction to these treasures.

He intuitively felt that the price of 2.5 billion dollars and the burden of 500 million dollars in debt would not lose money here, although as entertainment methods become more abundant and piracy is rampant, people are less likely to spend money on these old songs.

"Yeah yeah…"

The executives behind echoed.

Everyone has a very good attitude, and many of them are really sincere and not just flattering. Nonsense, I came here for the first time after more than half a month after the acquisition, and I am very restrained from the big boss who never dictates. Rich man, idol of idols.

As for the layoffs and the huge personnel earthquake that complained about outside? The executives who can appear here are all ‘survived’ themselves, aren’t they?

"Over there is our label in Nashville..."

Both Warner Records and Atlantic Records have a large number of small and medium-sized labels in the country music town of Nashville, and this part is also the most ‘white’, white country singers in the same water.

"Hahaha!"

Coaxed into comfort, Song Ya smiled all the way and ended the visit, and walked into the chairman's office reserved for him, "Doug, I have been chairman of too many companies, wait for your side to successfully complete the acquisition of Metropolis by the end of the year. The distribution company and Daniel’s Glass Records, I’m going to let you lose this position altogether, how about it?"

As a major shareholder holding more than 50% of the shares, the position of chairman is just a fake name, and his energy is indeed insufficient. Song Ya generously throws out his favor.

"Please rest assured, Bo SS."

Doug Morris had seen it a lot, and thanked him without surprise, "Is it finished before the end of the year?"

"Yes, the time point is about before Disney's extraordinary shareholders meeting. The timely announcement of this news will help me fight over there."

Daniel, the small record company that has been losing money all the year round, is insignificant. Doug Morris deliberately hangs on Daniel but he knows Daniel too well. If there are no obstacles, Daniel's appetite will only be greater.

The Metropolitan Distribution Company is completely different. It has the distribution rights of some Metropolitan Records and A+ Records. After the merger, it means that Warner Records has formally intervened in the distribution affairs of the two banknote printing press labels under Songya, which represents itself. The probability of leaving is greater, and Disney will naturally have to bear more pressure.

"I see."

Don't talk nonsense, Doug Morris knows it well, "I will do it."

"Can you turn losses next year?" Song Ya asked.

"Not too possible."

Doug Morris shook his head, "Give me a little more time, the environment also needs a turnaround..."

"Okay. UU reading www.uukanshu.com"

There is a reason why AOL Time Warner Group sells Warner Records so cheaply. The longer the history, the heavier the burden. The layoffs are not a panacea that will work in a second, and to rush the executives away, many of them have to pay varying amounts. Sexual resignation compensation.

The two had an in-depth communication on the company’s future development. After the talk, Song Ya had already started to play with the mobile phone quietly. It was all coming. The trauma was a little flat, and the color complexion reappeared. He needed more comfort, such as contact. Scarlett Johansson or Kate Dalins have another friendly match or something...

Perhaps it is a coincidence that there are so many new Hollywood actresses who are born in 1986, which can make people picky.

The age of the forest is gradually getting up, but he is a flower of thirty men.

Of course, Song Ya usually flirts when she meets the opposite eye by chance, and will not deliberately chase the target, let alone use coercion and other dirty methods like Harvey's fat man.

For example, a few days later, when he went to the Disney studio to visit Amy, he met another heroine in the Apocalypse movie, and another starring football stunner in the world line: Amanda Benis...
