Chicago 1990

"Prepare the deep ocean studio for me. I want to record a song. This is the melody and other requirements."

After the Grammy Night, public opinion quickly polarized. Some people ridiculed the jokes of the couple, and some attacked Grammys deliberately and opaquely, saying that they wanted to be popular groups to cheer, perform hard, and show that they were superior. Taste.

The two declined most of the interviews. Mariah Carey took the Gulfstream 4SP back to her hometown of New York to lick her wounds that night, and Song Ya also took a flight back to the Chicago campus the next day.

After school, he called Dieng Wilson, the production director of A+ Records, to his home in Highland Park and gave him Iknowyousowell's song draft, "At the fastest speed."

"Ok."

Dion Wilson flipped over, "The melody is too simple, isn't it? You want to deliberately increase the noise and distortion? Do you want to play low-fidelity (Low-Fidelity, corresponding to high-fidelity) retro sound effects? What's the point? Do you think this will be a new trend?"

"Nothing to say, go and prepare."

Song Ya was not in the mood to explain too much, "Oh, yes, have the chorus conductor and vocal coach I asked you to prepare for the church in the northern suburbs to work?"

"Go, according to your request, I found a young symphony conductor and a friend who is a vocal coach." Dion Wilson replied, "They are all white people, and the level is absolutely fine."

"Well, I will look for opportunities to check the progress." To continue to create opportunities to meet Old Barn, I am not a person who gives up after a setback.

"Understood. Uh... the Grammys last night..." Dion Wilson reported hesitantly: "A+ Records has received countless interview invitations, and they all want you to talk about your views on the Grammy judges."

"I know, I'm asking Linda to choose the right media, and you will reject it for me for the time being."

As soon as Dion Wilson was dismissed, Linda walked into the study again, "Quincy Jones' youngest daughter, Rashida Jones, who works for VIBE magazine, is outside the villa. She drove by herself. Please be sure to see her. "

Song Ya laughed blankly, "My enemies are now afraid of me going crazy, aren't they?"

"Given your past behavior, yes."

Linda looked at the young owner worriedly: "How are you going to retaliate against Riklubin?"

"I'm not going to do anything to him..."

Song Ya feels a little guilty about Riklubin. Calculated according to the big bull market this year, especially the big bull market of online stocks, if Dilai succeeds in listing the America music website next year, even if the market value is estimated at 100 million, this website The right to use the name is absolutely valuable.

Rick Rubin owns 49% of Amerika Music Magazine’s shares, and if the editor-in-chief Shirley Fleming loses almost $1 million a year, he will lose five hundred and ten thousand dollars. 490,000 yuan has been paid for several years. Now the biggest piece of fat, the right to use the name of this magazine was stolen from him by himself and Dile by using information asymmetry. The previous issue of Centennial Magazine has been networked. It also brought the first wave of high-end traffic from classical musicians and professional enthusiasts to the website. According to Dilai, many of their long posts are still being talked about by new users.

"You mean... just let him go?" Linda was surprised that the boss who had to report to her suddenly changed sex.

"His bluffing and bluffing character wants to attribute the collective power to himself to avenge me and show off. He can't make me and Mimi win nine zeros on his own. That's fine. I will pay a sum of money. , Buy back his shares in American Music Magazine, so that I can sweep him out of the magazine, and then we can unilaterally declare victory."

Song Ya said, "I think this is enough."

"Wow, it's like Polygram's so-called'kick you out' DefJam? That magazine is still losing money, and he can still take cash and leave without losing money. Just like you did, you lost face but got real benefits. ..."

Linda smiled relievedly, "This response is so mature that it's not like you. Rick Rubin is really not very active. Don't say Warner, just the rock music circle that he has been with, the white people... Sometimes I I think we are about to offend the six major record companies."

"Three million, I remember that he bought the magazine shares one after another for almost this price."

Song Ya shook his head and didn't want to talk more about it, "Up to 3.5 million, tell him, if he doesn't accept it, he will go to war. He should know what kind of person I am after being cruel."

"Ok."

After that, Song Ya met Rashida Jones in the living room. The daughter of Quincy Jones and Jewish actress Peggy Lipton was a little surprisingly beautiful. The skin is white in a mixed race, and it should not be inherited. With too many genes in Quincy Jones, it's no wonder that he would fight in the media to protect the reputation of white mothers and 2PAC.

"My dad said it's not his business this time, believe it or not, APLUS."

However, she and her sister, the ex-girlfriend of LLCoolJ and the current girlfriend of 2PAC, Kidada Jones, suffer from the same ignorance and princess disease. They have just turned 20, and they heard that they relied on the power of their boss and father to treat VIBE. The editorial department of the magazine was furious.

But unlike Kidada Jones, who is infatuated with hip-hop stars and enjoys media attention, her dress and demeanor are more biased towards the mainstream high-end fashion circle. It seems that she is not in the music and fashion circles of Manhattan, which is more closely connected with Europe. "He said that this Grammy treats you and your wife too much. If you are willing to accept it, he will show it at the Oscars. You know, my dad is also the producer of the Oscars this year. Oh, you Are you competing for prizes for the cat and mouse game?" she asked.

"Yes."

The sequel to Dancing My Life is still not showing much improvement. The 30 million North meter box office forecast remains unchanged. The cat and mouse game has entered the long-term screening period of less than 100 theaters, waiting for the Oscars to win again. "That's it. I'm waiting for the good news of the Oscars." Song Ya nodded.

This Rashida Jones was also surprised, "Uh, my dad also said..."

"That old thing is quite verbose." Song Ya was amused by her.

"you!"

She was irritated, "It seems that everyone is right, you are a complete **** APLUS." She stood up and flicked her long hair: "The manor is nice, but the furnishings are not tasteful, goodbye!" Then she kicked and stomped on high heels. The land just left.

Quincy Jones, he didn’t want to entangle any more. That old thing made an album for the legendary white singer Frank Sinatra. It was an important contributor to the glorious era of "Voice of Motown" and a bunch of popular singers such as MJ and R Kelly. Bole has a good relationship with Chicago politics and the Donkey Party. He is too senior. If it weren't for the mouthful and bad character, his achievements would be much greater than now, and he would not be able to fully step on his feet. Song Ya didn't want to do meaningless things.

Besides, he also has to guard against the trick that Motura made to himself before the money train was released, and used the male protagonist Wesley Snipes to design himself, stimulate himself, and use his mentality of quick revenge to worsen the movie. The relationship between the management and the publisher Sony, Motura knows himself too well, and his conspiracy is more than one layer.

Now I have three more urgent issues before me. I have to deal with the divorce, find a way to get old Barn, and successfully graduated from the University of Chicago.

No, there is one more thing. After the Netscape equity transaction, the tycoon Picauer seems to have forgotten about introducing himself into the Madoff Fund. He has not found himself yet, and he is not too anxious. Call to ask, shouldn't it be regrettable?

At the weekend, he started recording Iknowyousowell on A+ Records.

Very simple lyrics and music. He played the guitar by himself. He finished it in a long time. After the recording, he opened the door of the recording studio. Goodman, Hamlin, Sloan and others all arrived, "Is it just these two lyrics? Simple and rough, but it can clearly convey a very sad emotion." Sloan commented.

"Ok."

Song Ya smiled at her, and then confessed to Dion Wilson: "It is compressed into...what MP3 format and sent to Dilei by someone he can trust. He knows when it can be released on the American Music website. . Then save the master tape."

"What do you mean?"

Dion Wilson didn't understand, "Do you plan to release this song through regular channels?"

"Yes, it's probably an underground distribution model through online channels." Song Ya explained: "Actually, it's similar to underground distribution through radio channels, with different media."

"OK."

"You all go out." Sending away Dion Wilson and the others in the recording studio, Song Ya closed the soundproof door of the recording studio and said to his most trusted lawyer and publicist: "I expect Mimi will announce and The news of my divorce did not last more than a week."

Goodman and Hamlin were naturally prepared, but Ms. Sloan was still kept in the dark, "What!? This is too surprising, because of the failure of the Grammys?"

"No, we actually signed the agreement long ago."

Song Ya explained: "In fact, the primary problem facing her and I are the same as that of MJ and Elvis’ daughter. Whoever announces the news first takes the initiative. This is about who dumps whom. According to game theory, I and her interact with each other. The final result of not communicating is that the date of announcement of this news is infinitely closer to now, today."

"Are you going to announce it before her?" Sloan asked~www.wuxiaspot.com~No, I wait for her to announce first, I am a man, I have to be polite. "Song Ya points to the recording studio," but I will release this song via the Internet as soon as she announces it. "

"A very sad song, I understand, do you want to create your own lover, APLUS." Sloan responded quickly.

"Forget it, I'm really in a bad mood right now, otherwise I won't be able to write this song." Song Ya babbled casually.

"That's good, it's good for you." Goodman and Hamlin looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

"Let's do it, Ms. Sloan, prepare for my divorce PR, and Hamlin will continue to act as my spokesperson." Song Ya said, "Goodman, stay for a while, and we will discuss and discuss going to Old Barn again. thing."

At the end of the meeting, Hamlin pushed open the door of the recording studio, said goodbye to Ms. Sloan, and hurriedly walked towards his car, "Tim, is Miss Finn there? Well, let her listen..."

He dialed Xue Linfen's phone, "Miss Finn, are you still in Ireland? Take Robb back to Los Angeles as soon as possible, the time is right."
