Chicago 1990

Chapter 53

Song Ya is not afraid. This is a private school with a strict style of study, and he is in an advanced class in mathematics. Those who can come are surely children with good grades. If Brad dared to do it first, he would not come here.

The teachers here are also much better than the previous schools, regardless of their level, at least they can manage classroom discipline.

After class, I walked to Brad who had stared at him for a lesson, and stabbed him with a hand, "Hey, just kidding, don't go to your heart." This guy is a paper tiger, just sitting there and killing people with his eyes. I didn't even dare to stand up!

"They are all good students, it seems that I can be considered a thorn here."

Song Ya sneered to herself, and pretended to pass by Brad's little attendant's desk inadvertently. He picked it up and called all the books on his desk to the ground, officially establishing his class dominance.

The club activities in this school are much richer than the previous ones. In addition to arts and sports, there are also various scientific, cultural and social activities clubs.However, Song Ya still chose the orchestra. After all, according to his musical achievements, the teacher will definitely give high marks when lying down.

As for sports, he discovered that there is a squash court in the school. The advantage of this sport is that it can be played by one person, which suits his personality like being alone.Forget the table tennis. Although there is a small table tennis club in the school, the members are just a few weak girls, and they can't stop any smash.

After two weeks of peaceful school life comfortably, accountant Song Asheng called and it was time to go to SBK to divide the money!

During this period of time, Song Ya has been spending money on buying cars, renting new houses, living expenses for five people, Emily’s tuition fees, and spending on Mila. His savings are dwindling.When informed, he immediately sent Song Asheng to New York.

Over the weekend, he personally flew to New York and came to the familiar SBK headquarters.

Downstairs, he saw Tony,'Muffler', AK, and Little Lori's follower Iron Triangle who were smoking in the corner.

"YO!"

A few people fisted and greeted them with an old-fashioned greeting, "Go in, I'll wait for you inside, Daniel's office." AK let him into the building.

Stepping into Daniel's office, there are only three, Lori, Pablo, and Joe.

"Hey, APLUS! Come here, come here!"

Old Qiao excitedly pulled him to his side and sat down, "Today is a good day for harvest, kid."

Little Lori was still lying half-heartedly, Song Ya stretched out his fist and touched him.

"APLUS, wait for you to support us. Since Daniel has cancelled the release of the remixed version of the second-hand shop dance music, then we have to force him to promote the next release of the Lowry II album..."

Pablo said: "SBK has officially launched Vanilla Bing's album'To the Extreme'. I'm afraid they will give up us in order to prevent their opponents from fighting. If it continues, Lori and Joe have accumulated Will gradually lose popularity."

Song Ya knows about this. Pablo has talked to himself on the phone several times in the past two weeks. Vanilla Bing is the son of SBK. It is unrealistic to change the pace of his album promotion and accelerate the album of Lori II. The early publicity of the two albums will inevitably cause the two albums to fight at the same time. SBK can't agree. Pablo is a little too whimsical.

"I can't influence Daniel, and the life and death power of my song "To De Klerk" is still in the hands of SBK. Don't count on me. Of course, I won't help Daniel deal with you. You should be better than me. Now." He spread his hands and motioned for the two not to help each other.

"That song of yours is very good. Flower Q~ Flower Q~ haha, you know that most of the swear words of black rap are tonality, not many mention such an important position as boldly as you." Old Joe chatted cheerfully. , He can make a lot of album sales,

Song Ya heard that he had recently had friction with Pablo and Lori again, and the last bit of love between the two sides was gone, and only business was left. The general context of the matter was like this:

During the months-long publicity itinerary, because of old Qiao’s physical strength, he had to reduce a lot of “hole walks”. Little Lori’s income was affected. According to his young and energetic look after his popularity, he naturally did not What kind of things would you say to Old Joe.

In order to solve his physical problems, Old Qiao tried to bring back the worse old Morgan as a shield, and participated in the recording of the second-hand store studio version shortly before the recording. Of course, Pablo and Lori refused to do it. , So the contradiction between the two sides has been intensified.

Later, the studio version was not recognized by the market. Old Joe complained that it was the saxophone that lacked the taste of Old Morgan's participation, and that Lori's RAP performance did not improve, which led to the encounter with Waterloo. Lori naturally refused to recognize it. Quarrel broke out again.

During the quarrel, Little Lori accidentally shook the truth out, saying that he would not choose Old Joe Music for the next contract renewal, but would switch to a major record company.

He and Lao Qiao signed a five-year contract. The first album Lao Qiao music must be produced and released, and the second album will be released based on the first album's score.Old Qiao trained him for two years, and the first album was released for almost half a year. Since the first album results can definitely meet the conditions set in the contract, there are about two years left in the contract period, and Old Qiao has to give him more Send a special.

But if Lori does not plan to renew the contract, the quality of the second album that Lao Qiao Music is responsible for will be conceivable.

Pablo simply didn’t do two things at all. Since Little Lori’s failure made Old Joe prepared, he wanted to find a big record company to buy out the remaining two-year contract for Little Lori, and the second album was not yours. This is posted, let's split up.

Old Qiao said that if you want to leave, you can take the money!

The two sides are currently at a stage where prices cannot be negotiated.

This kind of mess has nothing to do with Song Ya, the songwriter. He had made up his mind before he came. It's my shit that you bother you.And he clearly remembered that Daniel's evaluation of this album was rubbish, and it was completely impossible for SBK to spend a lot of energy on it. Pablo and Lori were destined to fail.

Of course, the three parties have a common interest in forcing SBK to settle accounts as soon as possible. When Daniel enters the door, they will tacitly assume a common front posture.

Secretary Daniel put several thick documents in front of the three.

Song Asheng, Xiao Lori, Lao Qiao, and SBK's financial staff came in one after another and filled the sofa.

Song Ya roughly flipped through it. This is SBK's settlement document on the sales of 1.5 million singles. Due to different sales prices such as discounts, events, and promotional releases, the entire account is very complicated. In order to prevent SBK from'stealing sales', There must be more in-depth auditing work, and there is no such thing as a professional.

Song Yaneng got nearly 10% of the single sales revenue, 1.5 million sales, and the average price of a single was about $6, which is about one million in revenue.Of course, the specific calculation method is not so simple. In fact, this figure cannot be reached. The specific amount on the document is more than nine hundred and thirty thousand dollars.

"Boss, don't worry, it's all right." Song Asheng whispered to Song Ya.

Song Ya looked at Little Lori and Old Qiao, they were already signing, so they signed their names one by one.

At that time, I sold five thousand dollars to Little Lowry with 2% royalties. Now this money is worth nearly two hundred thousand dollars. This is only the settlement figure when the 1.5 million sales are sold. Wait for the next one hundred and fifty. Ten thousand, it will be nearly two hundred thousand dollars.

Five thousand to four hundred thousand, Song Ya felt a little bit sore.

Daniel has poured several glasses of champagne and handed them to everyone in person, "Happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation!"

As a producer, Lao Qiao took the most money today. Song Ya didn't see the specific amount. He estimated that there would be five million. He took a sip, "I hope the next 1.5 million will come soon."

"Yes, the three platinum problem is not big." Daniel relied on this business to bring a huge amount of income to SBK, and only 30% of the issue could be distributed. The first one million copies were secretly given to Song Ya. Three-thirds, minus the cost of publicity and distribution is still a big profit, "A classic win-win, toast to our successful cooperation!" He drank the wine in one cup.

"Cheers!" Everyone did it together, Pablo winked at Old Joe and Song Ya, "Next, SBK will release the album of Lowry II..."

"The publicity effort is scheduled for December."

Daniel didn't mean to be ambiguous, "The main focus of SBK in the next two months will be on vanilla ice's To the Extreme album."

"But..." Pablo didn't want to give up yet.

Song Ya put the wine glass back on the table, "Let's go." Directly led Song Asheng to leave.
