Chicago 1990

Anschutz has great ambitions. If they can develop loyal fans and mature professional leagues in the world's largest economy, the United States, they will make money.

Therefore, in order to accelerate the expansion of the major leagues, they simply and rudely directly inject capital to support teams from all over the world. Some nominal bosses have less team shares than them, but they still give up the management rights. There is no way, no point. Blood cannot attract wealthy people into the game. Everyone generally agrees with Song Ya's opinion that the United States does not have the soil for the development of football.

　　 Considering the apocalypse and the fairly favorable conditions, Song Ya was a little moved, so he didn't say anything to death, and temporarily left Anshuzi's people.

　　 A few days later, Donovan led a team of William Morris to Bedford Hills to help. He and Mariah Carey temporarily got rid of the heavy preparatory work and went to Sony Columbia Records to settle their recording income.

　　 Like Spielberg preparing for Universal’s post-Simberg era, the two now dare not risk Daniel’s sudden resignation by Sony. It is possible.

　　 And this money should have been settled last year. To support Daniel, it has been done so far.

"Common's new album is at a loss. Both we and you have invested considerable resources for publicity and distribution, but the sales are not good, but the number of circulation in underground channels and the influence of the radio are very large, which is the victim of the increasingly rampant piracy problem. By."

　　 Last year, A+ Records rushed to the albums of Al, Common and William Adams. Among them, the Common new album feedback was very good, and the publicity was the strongest. Therefore, it caused some losses for A+ Records and Sony Columbia Records.

But those are small money. Song Ya and Fergie’s first album of the same name and singles such as LondonBridge are still selling in a long way. The original soundtrack of My Life and the BeWhatYouWannaBe single released later, as of the end of February, sold a total of 7 million copies Around this time, Song Ya himself and A+ Records settled the net income of nearly 50 million yuan to eliminate other costs, which made him even after buying the Malibu seaside mansion and holding a vigorous wedding, and after the tax season in April It can still keep hundreds of millions of cash.

　　 "Huh! Congratulations, APLUS, now I'm looking forward to your second single, DeadAndGone, and I believe I can achieve great results again."

Daniel was relieved. He was even weaker in front of Song Ya. He proactively stretched out his hand and asked a little flatteringly, "According to the agreement between you and LAFACE Records, Donnie Bryston will dance on the soundtrack of my life next year. Put UMustBe in her new album? Also, will Brenda’s solo album be released next year, right? All the songs she sang in my life will be included?"

　　 "Yes, I have already discussed with Babyface over Tangni, Brenda's new album...Will I be able to buy the soundtrack of my life, let's talk about it, the second half of next year?" Song Ya shook his hand.

　　 "OK, the second half will be fine, no problem, I will stare."

　　 After finishing talking, Daniel hurried to the next door, where Mariah Carey also settled with Donovan and other professionals.

　　 "It's finally something exciting." Song Ya smiled at Samuel next to him.

　　 "Somewhat?"

　　 Samuel happily packed up the files, “The more successful your record business is, the more the benefits of the distribution agreement we won from Motula back then will be highlighted, otherwise you don’t want to get this kind of split.”

"The release agreement is good, but the singer contract is not top-notch. Both MJ and Madonna enjoy the highest singer share of 20%. Only the pure singer share can get so much. Both Mimi and I are far from reaching this. digital."

　　 Song Yade looked at Shu's prospects: "If everything goes well, I will have to challenge myself when I change my contract in 1997."

　　 "Haha, you are indeed almost qualified."

Samuel complimented. The two were chatting in a low voice. On the opposite side of the conference table, a silent book face approached the two and offered to extend his hand, "Hello Mr. APLUS, introduce yourself, Hirai, Deputy General Manager of Sony Electronics Beimi ."

　　 "Hello, I remember that it used to be Mr. Takaki's position?"

　　 Song Ya responded politely. This person is about the same age as Gao Shu, but his English pronunciation is more authentic, "Where did he go?"

　　 "Yes, Takashusan was transferred back to the Tokyo headquarters." Hirai smiled and sat on the empty seat next to him.

　　 "Wow, have you been promoted?" Song Ya knows that executives of the company are usually transferred abroad even if they are exiled, except for the United States, but they may also be deliberately staying away from the center of power.

　　 "Uh, it should be counted."

　　 Hirai smiled and said, "Don't you remember me? I worked in the predecessor of Sony Columbia Records in the 1980s."

　　 "Oh, I remember."

Song Ya looked at his face, and remembered that he had actually seen him in this building before, but at that time Motula was very strong, and the sense of presence of local executives was a bit thin, which was basically the same as the decoration at the meeting, Sony Columbia Records The predecessor, that should be the joint venture period between Sony and CBS, "Then I congratulate you on your promotion, Mr. Hirai."

　　 "Thank you."

　　 Hirai doesn’t seem to be as polite as Takashi, bows less often, and is very friendly when he laughs, "Can I take up your time a little?"

　　 "Of course you can, please say it." To the senior management of the capital, Song Ya gave a lot of face. In Sony Beimi, Gao Shu had not little power before.

　　 "I want to ask, why are you unwilling to accept the copyright of your song and Miss Kelly to participate in the merger of our ATV copyright library with MJ?" Hirai asked straightforwardly.

"Uh……"

　　 Song Ya and Samuel looked at each other, "I think Daniel has told you the reason for me."

　　 "I want to hear your personal confirmation." Hirai said.

　　 "Which step is the negotiation between you and MJ?" Song Ya asked rhetorically, and at the same time turned to look at Linda. Her female assistant knew exactly what he meant and left the meeting room to call Daniel next door.

　　 "It's almost done."

Hirai replied straightforwardly: "But this is the situation now. If we merge with MJ's copyright library to exclude you, Miss Kelly, and singers who have the same idea as yours, then we need to pay MJ more. cash……"

　　 "But it's good for you too, isn't it? You will have an independent copyright library in addition to the merged copyright library at that time." Song Ya replied, "Sony doesn't lack this cash, right?"

　　 Hirai smiled bitterly, "We are fighting a car trade war with the U.S. government, and domestic companies are not doing very well now."

"But it does not include Sony, right? You just launched a new generation of game consoles locally at the end of last year. I heard that the sales are very hot. I have a small amount of EA (Electronic Arts) company stock in my hand. The financial report said that it will start to develop new games based on your platform, and other game companies are the same. They are very optimistic that they will also succeed in the United States."

Song Ya tried to pull the topic away, but failed. Hirai replied: "That's right, but Mr. APLUS, this has nothing to do with my doubts. You know, generally speaking, having a unified copyright library can reduce Sony. The copyright company has a lot of operating costs."

　　 "Hey, APLUS, what are you talking about?"

　　 Daniel rushed in at this time and stood behind Song Ya affectionately, putting his hands on his shoulders, "Mr. Hirai, APLUS is one of our most important singers."

　　 "Of course, I like Mr. APLUS's song very much..."

　　 Hirai still did not give up. He is much more difficult than Takasuki. "We were just talking about the copyright library. I asked APLUS why it is not willing to participate in the copyright merger between us and ATV."

"Uh……"

Daniel was a little caught off guard, "You go out, Samuel, sorry." He cleared everyone else including Samuel from the conference room~www.wuxiaspot.com~ There are only three of us here, so I'll speak directly. One point, APLUS does not want its copyright to fall into the hands of MJ, otherwise the outside world will laugh at APLUS and pay MJ to sing its own songs, just like Paul McCartney's experience before. "

　　 "We all know that those are just boring attacks. Now the structure of music copyright is very complicated, which is inevitable for singers." Hirai said.

　　 "I am the manager of APLUS, this is our common decision, okay? Mr. Hirai." Daniel was too lazy to bend around with him, and replied straightforwardly.

　　 Hirai ignored him and looked at Song Ya.

　　 "I just don't want to, do you know? I just don't want to."

Song Ya knows that I can’t deal with it today if I don’t give an attitude, "I didn’t give him strong support when I was unlucky for MJ. Now my relationship with him... is a bit subtle. I don’t want to see my songs anyway. The copyright is placed under his ATV management. Of course, out of this door, I will not admit that I had this idea."

　　 "The management rights of the merged tracks should belong to Sony Music Copyright." Hirai revealed, "Can this dispel some of your doubts? Mr. APLUS. Maybe we can start a separate negotiation."

　　 "I have decided, okay?" Song Ya refused again.

　　 "Okay, I'm sorry, I'm bothering you." Hirai stood up, finally bowed in a book, and left.
