Chicago 1990

"The good news is that this magazine does change hands intentionally. The bad news is that he is now in the hands of abc and has already been targeted. It is much stronger than your financial resources."

At the end of the propaganda trip of Seattle, the last stop on the West Coast, Song Ya returned to Chicago for a short rest. Hayden also found out the current status of the magazine.

ABC has been in a state of indigestion after being swallowed by a metropolitan communications company with only a quarter of its market capitalization in 1986. For this reason, ABC began to merge, split, restart, and sell its various brands... Just tried every means to try to revitalize assets.

The hapless Amerika Music has received a full set of toss. First, it was randomly merged into a high-fidelity magazine focusing on audio equipment, and only a few pages of space were kept in the magazine.Before the high-fidelity magazine was about to be sold, ABC spun off Amerika Music and restarted its distribution. At first, it was a single monthly magazine, but it turned into a bimonthly magazine after poor sales and still suffered losses.Abc quickly lost confidence and announced that it could be sold. The current buyer who publicly intends to take over is the well-known investor Litman.

"ABC is going to finish..." Song Ya was amused by the suffocating operation of abc.

"Yes, abc itself cannot be guaranteed."

Hayden threw to Song Yaji’s previous American music magazine, “The version you see is a bimonthly issue. At this time, the magazine is already compromising the market, otherwise Columbia Records will not be able to stop the advocacy that praised you. Go in, and you can take a look at the previous version."

Song Ya turned it around and looked at it casually. At that time, the single-monthly edition contained all elements that were not adapted to the times. The magazine focused on classical music, opera and musicals, and only had a small space on popular music. This undoubtedly limits its audience.And because most of the celebrities in these industries are old, there will be obituaries in magazines about who passed away from time to time. I don't know if it is traditional or other reasons. His family also likes to put obituaries prominently. Location, when the reader turns the first few pages, the news about the death of a certain 80- or 90-year-old performer is the news that affects the mood.

"What does the editor-in-chief of this magazine think?" Song Ya thought if he really bought it, the editor-in-chief would be opened the first thing.

"The editor-in-chief of the magazines that were first published in the last century is more than 60 years old and sticks to tradition." Hayden said.

"Then the resale price of this magazine shouldn't be very high, right?" Song Ya asked.

Hayden smiled and shook his head, "First of all, this name is worth a lot of money, and then his family will publish an annual list every year. The analogy is the annual bulletin board of the classical music industry, which is very authoritative in the industry. Potential buyer Lit Man's financial resources are also strong enough, if you bid, you will definitely not be cheap."

"Anyway, make an inquiry first..."

Song Ya threw the incident to Hayden and went to the new home in Hyde Park with Song Asheng.

There was nothing to move the house. In a week, Song Asheng asked someone to clean up the house. At present, except for the attic recording studio which is still under construction, the residents on the first and second floors have no major problems. The people from the party service company are working. Busy inside and out.

"Alex, I never dared to live in such a house."

Aunt Susie is also there. She has been helping to decorate the room these days. Emily ran down from the stairs excitedly, "I have chosen the room, no one is allowed to grab it!"

After more than a year, she was no longer small at the age of thirteen, and gradually became a big girl.

"There are so many rooms in mfxxk that no one will grab you!" Aunt Susie scolded, and her attitude towards Song Ya became much gentler when she turned her head, "Her grades are not good, you know?"

"I know."

Emily’s grades are probably in the middle and lower reaches of the class, but Song Ya doesn’t matter. She doesn’t have the same bad habits as the girls in Nancheng Public School. I am very interested. I am already a member of the school choir, and I am very much appreciated by the teacher.

"Yo..."

Al came in from the outside, "This place is really good, but there is no swimming pool." He has always said bluntly, "It's always weird for a hip-hop star to buy a mansion without a swimming pool."

"Em..." Song Ya was speechless.

"You go pick a room too, Al." Aunt Susie looks at him much more pleasing now.

"Uh...I want to be with..."

Al scratched his head, "apls your apartment is not the lease term yet?"

Song Ya got it. Al met a black girl during the promotion. It wasn't the flesh and blood, she probably followed a star-chaser friend to play with. The personality and family conditions seemed to be OK. "The lease is about a few months away. , You can live in when we move in."

Al and Dilai’s income has also risen now. They can share as much as Song Ya divides. In the future, rememberthename’s commercial performances, Song Ya’s share for them is not low. In addition, in the single income, he and Dile can also be divided to a few tenths of a point, and he is also a small singer.

Now that they have gained a bit of fame, it would be inappropriate to stay with themselves. The main thing is that he and Dile are not short of women now, and Dile seems to be preparing to buy a house.

"Thanks." Al smiled and fisted Song Ya. "By the way, people from Los Angeles, New York and Atlanta will come over at night."

"I know, it's almost ready here."

After all, May came, and the tripartite joint propaganda started immediately. Song Ya happened to have a celebration party by moving to a new house, to get to know a few groups of people and hold a meeting by the way.

It’s still dark, the lights inside and outside the villa are all on. The party company’s people set up a buffet and grill on the lawn outside, and they also built an inflatable rainbow door at the door, which was hung on the low fence. With colored light bulbs on, the small reception desk was placed next to the rainbow door. An old white man in a white dress was standing there with a guest roster, followed by a little brother in the car.

Dile pulled the audio equipment over, and it didn't take long for soft music to sound inside and outside the villa.

The first to come was Michelle and his boyfriend. They lived in the University of Chicago not far away. The two came by walking, and Song Ya hugged them at the door.

"You move really fast." Michelle smiled and handed over a bottle of champagne.

"Thank you." Song Ya took the bottle, "Is it your suggestion."

The three of them all laughed, "Uh... the guests in my meeting are all from the music industry, and they may play crazy." Song Ya was afraid that they would not be able to adapt to the atmosphere.

"It doesn't matter, it's the same when we were young."

Michelle pointed to her boyfriend next to him, "You can't imagine how crazy he played before."

His boyfriend smiled shyly.

It didn't take long for the two to enter, when Old Joe's extended Lincoln arrived, and Eric, who was driving, threw the key to the car boy, and trot to open the door for Old Joe.

Old Qiao led the two black men out of the car, "Hey, apls, let me introduce to you, this is Derry, do you know him?"

How could Na’s main member Song Ya not know him, "Hello." He shook hands with the gangster rap old senior, "Looking up to the name for a long time."

"This is Snoop Dogg."

"Hello there."

"We all like your rememberthename." Derry pointed to Song Ya. "Really?" He asked Snoop Dogg.

"Yeah." His attendant seemed very taciturn.

Goodman, Hayden and others also arrived by car one after another, as well as Will Gardner, who is in charge of audio legal affairs.

Then nas led the big professor and all members of the mainsorce band where the big professor was present.

And the babyface who came from Atlanta with Fergie.

This kind of occasion is so small. When the musicians of the local Chicago music circle were almost there, a shuttle bus slowly stopped at the door, "Yeah! That's right, that's it! Girls, come down." There is wine and stars here, let’s have a good time tonight! Dilai!"

Dile raised his middle finger to him and manipulated it on the stage, and the music rhythm began to turn to the best.

In the study on the second floor, "Let’s welcome Derry, Snoop Dogg from Los Angeles and the professor and nas from New York..."

Excluding miscellaneous people, Song Ya introduced the target people to each other, "And the babyface in Atlanta..."

"I have prepared a joint publicity plan for May. Let's discuss it and see if there is anything missing."
