　　 In the Motura office, Song Ya sang a long RAP with a strong beat, and then pointed to Al, "Ale'spickin'itup, let'sgo!"

　　 Al picks up right away, Whothehellisheanyway

　　 Then there is Dile, Thisistwentypercentskill, eightypercentbeer...

After singing a song, the audience in the office was cheered, "Wow!" Mariah Carey stood up and applauded and said: "The music melody is powerful and passionate, and the words are also very good. APLUS, you have completed another one. A good song, Thisistenpercentluck, twentytypercentskill, Fifteenpercentconcentratedpowerofwill, Fivepercentpleasure, fiftypercentpain, Andahundredpercentreason..."

　　 She improvised gestures and sang a few words with hip-hop gestures. As expected, she was amazingly talented, and she learned a lot after hearing it.

　　 Motura looked at her with a smile, "Why don't you just switch to a rapper, Mary."

　　 "I hate it." Mariah Carey slapped him in the arm.

　　 Motura laughed very popularly.

　　 "The accompaniment is wonderful, but it's a bit short..." Walter still said something like that: "I basically repeat it all the time."

　　 "Rap music is like this, rhythm and rhyme are the most important." Song Ya replied, in order to make the changed lyrics rhyme, he burned a lot of brain cells.

　　 "Indeed." David Cole handed him champagne and Al and Dile. "This rememberthename is much better than your first IFeelItComing."

　　 "Will it be a big hit?" Song Ya asked.

"Absolutely." Motura raised his wine glass. "You made me very impressed by the promotion of the first single. I didn't expect that such a practice that did not cooperate with the traditional distribution method would sell platinum records, and this song would be more successful. APLUS. Walter, continue to provide help for the production of his official version, and the follow-up promotion is the same..."

　　 "Of course." Walter and the person in charge of propaganda agreed.

　　 Everyone drank their drinks and left. Roberto Clever took Song Ya’s shoulders and took him to the recording studio. He eagerly asked, "What are you going to do about Warren Brothers?"

　　 "I have commissioned a well-known law firm in Chicago to negotiate with AW Investment Company. After the Grammy Awards ceremony, I will go to New Jersey myself." Song Ya replied.

　　 "Okay, call me then."

"no problem."

　　 "By the way..." Roberto Klevell stopped in front of the studio. "We are also planning to sign some rappers this year. Anyone who is optimistic can recommend them."

　　 "Really? Can I recommend it?" Song Ya looked at the other party, wondering whether he was talking casually or for the sake of the subsequent acquisition.

　　 "Of course, we are friends." Roberto Clerville replied.

　　 Then it’s okay, which shows that the other party may have other thoughts about this acquisition, "Okay, I will pay attention, thanks, Robert."

Saying goodbye to Roberto Cleverville, Song Ya walked into the recording studio prepared for him by Columbia Records. The characteristics of this song are not suitable for Mariah Carey’s "Iron Cage" recording studio, and she will release her second album in May. I couldn't coordinate the use time, so I switched to another recording studio with regular specifications. Of course, the equipment is still top-notch, and there is no need to share it with other singers.

　　 "Columbia Records is getting better and better for you." Hayden complimented, waiting in the studio.

　　 "But they still don't want to settle the payment in advance for IFeelItComing's millions of sales, and the rental fees and staff remuneration here still have to be paid at market prices." Song Ya shook his head.

　　 "There is not much room for maneuver in the financial aspects of large companies. Fortunately, there is a result on SBK." Hayden laughed.

　　 "Oh? What do you say?"

　　 "I have sent Song Asheng to SBK."

　　 "YES!" Song Ya was overjoyed. He is too short of money now. "This money is too crucial for me to acquire Warren Brothers!"

"I said, you and them are not the same kind of people. Both Lori and Mira bought the first property, and the first big money you spent on becoming famous was to buy the company." Hayden took out the bottle from the wine cabinet. Champagne, "Wish our success?"

　　 "Stop drinking, I have already had a drink just now." Song Ya heard the news of Mila buying a house for the first time, "Mila bought a house?"

"Yes, near Beverly Hills, we, William Morris, suggested that she buy it and put the money in real estate under her name. It's better than being misused by her father who opened an investment company." Hayden said: "And the people in Hollywood are too snobbish. The actress on the list like Mira doesn't buy a better property to live in. The tabloids will speculate wildly."

　　 Song Ya thinks about it, so he put it aside, he can’t wait, "Let’s go to SBK..."

The average price of the second-hand store’s first 1.5 million sales was more than RMB six, and the average price of the second 1.5 million sales could not reach that high, because the subsequent sales of goods, discounts and marketing costs will increase The higher the price, the average price calculated by SBK is five dollars. Song Ya’s 10% royalties are calculated to be 82,500, but this amount of money is not enough, and the actual amount is less than 770,000, minus Hayden’s 10% and Song Asheng, For Goodman’s compensation, less than 700,000 went into Songya’s account.

The same goes for De Klerk. The average sales price for the first million is RMB 6 and a half, and the average sales price for the second million is RMB 5.8. Song Ya’s royalties are 12% plus 3% of the producer. Fifteen percent, counting down to 870,000, actually got around 830,000, and subtracting the distribution to Hayden and others, it entered Song Ya’s account in the early 700,000.

Second-hand stores and the overseas sales of De Klerk are also given. Second-hand stores only sold 200,000 to 300,000 sales. De Klerk is very popular in Europe and English-speaking countries such as Australia and New Zealand. The total sales volume is even higher than that of the United States. The combined sales volume of the two albums is 3 million. Unfortunately, the average price given by SBK is only more than three yuan. According to them, the cost of overseas marketing is high, and it has to be shared with the local agency. Song Asheng has some doubts but there is no good way. This is beyond his auditing ability. If you want to figure it out thoroughly, unless you contract with the top international The accounting firm signed a contract, otherwise the EMI Records behind SBK could not be used.

　　 The three million overseas sales volume, Song Yaneng, received about 1.5 million, and actually entered the account 1.3 million. UU Reading www.uukanashu.com

　　 The first million of Lori II's album sales, the average price is about seven yuan, Song Yaneng scored less than 1%, and finally made 60,000 yuan.

　　The remaining sales share SBK will not adopt this centralized settlement method. They will settle the accounts after the end of the annual accounting period, and then directly transfer them to Songya's A+ copyright and investment management company account.

In addition to these four, there are also royalties collected by BMI based on the broadcast volume of its merchants and radio stations, etc., which are settled once a year. This calculation method is more complicated. Fortunately, it is a small amount of less than 20,000 dollars. This kind of organization won't mess with it.

　　 These totaled 2.78 million. Song Ya made up the difference from his deposit and made up a total of four million dollars as ammunition for the acquisition of Warren Brothers. Basically, all his working capital is here. These should not be enough. At that time, it is estimated that IFeelItComing's expected personal income will have to be mortgaged to the bank. 70% of his income in this song is roughly divided into two parts, and more than 50% is the producer A+ For the record, the remaining ten percent is his personal royalties and the income of the producer and singer. The collateral will only be his personal income. After all, A+ Records and A+ Audio are two independent companies.

　　If it is not enough, the subsequent income from SBK and BMI can also be used as collateral.

　　 Song Ya can even use his identity as a popular singer to ask the bank to make unsecured loans, but the interest rate will be much higher, and he is not going to do that. Stop the acquisition if it doesn't work, he is not willing to carry the risk of bankruptcy.

　　 After all this was done, Song Ya devoted himself to the recording of the song.

　　 On the evening of the 19th, Hayden came to him with a suitcase in his dress. Tomorrow is the Grammy Awards ceremony.
