Chicago 1990

　　 Close the door and get dressed with Ellie, Song Ya cleaned up the sofa and some leftover things before going out to look for Eric.

　　 "Where is Old Joe?" he asked.

　　 Bringing a girl over last night was only part of the plan. He needed an excuse to come to old Joe’s music, and then ‘encounter’ the old Joe who ran the promotion.

　　 "He won't be back this week, he is going to Los Angeles."

　　 I didn't expect to get bad news.

　　 Song Ya could only ask Eric to drive him and Ellie home, and by the way, he was talking on the road. Eric didn't have much defense against him, and explained what happened during the announcement.

　　 In Atlanta, Old Joe didn't know who he heard. He planned to invite a Hollywood public relations company to intervene in the album announcement. Of course, Pablo, who was interested in cooperating with Warner Records, opposed fiercely. Then Pablo took Lori, AK, Tony, and the "silencer" and they suddenly left. He didn't even say hello to Old Joe where he was going, and Old Joe didn't bother to care about them, so he got on the flight to Los Angeles alone.

　　 "Hollywood's PR agency?"

　　 Song Ya's heart sank. He doesn't understand what PR companies do, but since they can also be responsible for the release of the album, Lao Qiao obviously wants to completely cut off the possibility of cooperating with big record companies. What about the agreement between himself and Daniel? Wouldn't the introduction fee of 10,000 knives and the commission of 150,000 be completely lost?

　　 First send Ellie home, and soon there is a woman's quarrel.

　　Well, the family environment in the slum is similar, even the words used by Ellie’s mother to scold Ellie are exactly the same as those used by Aunt Susie to Connie.

　　 Song Ya hurriedly asked Eric to start the car and ran the road, and immediately dialed Daniel's phone when he got home.

　　 "Public relations companies are like mercenaries. They are generally used for short-term cooperation. They prefer to take the sideways. It is a good trick to make a big news for employers and media attention."

Daniel is a veteran, and he quickly made a judgment, "Good public relations agencies in Hollywood are very expensive. Based on the current album sales, Old Joe doesn’t make enough money to pay their bills! I feel that Old Joe is losing his mind. , We have to hurry to Los Angeles, race against time, and step in before he reaches an agreement with the PR agency!"

　　 Song Ya frustrated, and dialed Old Qiao’s cell phone again. The "Encounter" scene failed, so he had to have a direct showdown. Anyway, he wanted to earn Daniel's $10,000 referral fee.

　　 "Hey, APLUS, what's the matter?" Old Joe's voice was very tired.

　　 Song Ya didn’t go in circles anymore, and explained his intentions directly, “Daniel Glass, the vice president of SBK Records, found me and said that he wanted to see you. Look...”

　　 "FXXX! You son of a bitch!"

　　 Unexpectedly, Old Joe directly scolded, "You all betray me!" After scolding, he planned to directly hold the phone.

　　 "Hey! Hey! Wait! Don't hang up! Boss, for the sake of that song I wrote for you! Okay?" Song Ya quickly played the emotional card.

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, "Maybe we are happier without that song..." Old Joe slowly said: "The seven thousand cassettes are sold out, and I will leave the market. Pablo is still my friend. Lowry is still that good boy...Money is all about money, and money is all about..."

　　 "Isn't the hand that you drove Al out of the game quite ruthless?" Song Ya secretly complained.

But I still have to persuade, "Then you have to have a good chat with Daniel. He is a very thoughtful person about record release. He convinced me and I believe he can convince you too. Money is the problem, and the song is Problem, so we have to find professional people to solve the problem, and we will meet every time, okay?"

　　 Old Qiao took a deep breath, his attitude finally softened, "One side?"

　　 "One side!"

　　 "Well, I only give you this face." Old Joe reported the name of the hotel.

　　 "Thank you, boss!"

　　 Song Yayo went to Daniel, and the two took the nearest flight to the Angel City on the west coast.

　　 After the crossing, it was the first time to fly and to Los Angeles. Song Ya had no mood to appreciate the scenery along the way. He led Daniel to the hotel where Old Joe was staying by taxi and knocked on the door.

　　 When Daniel and Old Joe met, he seemed to hear the tink of the supermarket cash register in his mind, ten thousand dollars in his hand, beautiful!

　　 There are two other guests. The combination of a short black man and a fat white man is saying goodbye to Old Joe.

　　 After a brief introduction, "Is that EAZY-E of N.W.A?" Daniel asked.

　　 "Yeah, sit down, Big E is also here to talk about cooperation with me." Old Joe replied. He opened a bottle of wine, took out the glass from the wine cabinet, and poured it on the two.

　　 "Thank you, the reputation of Big E..." Daniel stopped talking.

"I know what you want to say, Big E is dangerous and greedy, but he has nothing to do with music. NWA is based on the money he earned from drug trafficking." Old Joe lay back on the sofa and raised a glass to Daniel. And he has rich experience in dealing with big record companies."

Hearing the thorn in Old Joe’s words, Daniel smiled, “I’ve heard APLUS talk about Pablo’s theology about big record companies. Unfortunately, he is just a layman in this business. The simple fact is that big record companies Can’t control everything. For example..." He stretched out his hand to Old Joe, "You can listen to music produced by any company or individual almost anytime, anytime, and anywhere. The big record companies can’t control you. Monopoly? Distribution? Are you not just releasing records? No one can stop you. Of course I will not deny the advantages of big record companies, they can control some channels, some awards, some media, but nothing more, many big record companies There are hundreds of labels under it, and everyone of them can play their own brains~www.wuxiaspot.com~How to monopolize? Our SBK did not belong to EMI before, and we are not living well. In fact, the giants who can really control an industry are not in records Industry, but here, Los Angeles, Hollywood..."

　　 Daniel is a biography... Marketing master, "Go on." Old Joe really became interested in what he said.

"Unlike the recording industry, there is a limit on the number of cinemas and screens in the country. If you want to see a new movie, you have to go to the cinema. You can't see it anywhere else. This is the soil that really breeds monopoly. So here The seven major film companies of Universal, Warner Bros., MGM, Paramount, Twentieth Century Fox, Disney and Columbia, oh no, it should be called Sony Columbia now. They are the ones that can truly monopolize an industry." Daniel Said: "Old Joe, cooperate with us, we are not Warner, we are more suitable to release rap music, have you heard of ICEICEBABY?"

　　 Old Joe smiled disdainfully, "A white man."

　　 "Yes! Vanilla ice is a white man! A white man who sings **** rap! We sell out like singles!"

　　Daniel's words are too lethal, and Old Joe is lost in thought.

　　 Song Ya on the side can definitely feel the same way. The last time he was fooled by Daniel, he couldn't tell the difference between the north and south.

"Guess what." Daniel will never give a chance to hustle the subject. "We plan to promote the APLUS single and promote you to the same status as Lori. The industry knows that your refrain is better than His RAP part level is much better! He is the lead singer of this song, so are you! If you want, our SBK can even sign a singer contract with you, every concert, every business performance, every awards party in the future As long as you want, Lori will never want to leave you alone! Forever..."
