Chicago 1990

"How much did Capitol Records promise you?"

Song Ya was really angry this time. He got into the extended Lincoln and directly dialed Fergie's phone. In the record industry, if a company suddenly had the confidence to dig other singers at an asking price lower than the penalty, there is a high probability. A private deal has been reached with the singer himself.Many singers, either because they can't stand the company's suppression, or in order to develop a better platform, or even simply for money, often engage in disturbances such as passive confrontation, arousing fan wishes, exposing and discrediting their old clubs.

In short, the purpose is to force the old club to either let go of others obediently, or everyone does not want to make money.

"I also want to buy a private jet." Fergie made no secret of the call.

She had previously vowed to own a private jet that would not lose to Mira. It would cost at least five million dollars. Maybe she was stimulated by the recent Gulfstream purchase with Mariah Carey.It seems that in order to get her, Capitol Records has set a budget of no less than 8 million plus 5 million. This price is not low for a female singer who has just become popular. After all, the audience of her white hip-hop female singer line limited.

Previously, Viking Records spent nearly 40 million on Janet Jackson. Not long after, the 60 million that Warner Records gave to Madonna was the highest quotation for a female singer. But that money included Warner’s participation in the acquisition of Madonna’s private music studio. If Mariah Carey is in a no-contract state, the signing of the new contract may not reach that amount.

"Didn't you just buy a luxury house in Los Angeles?" The predecessor can build more than the current one, at least Mariah Carey would not use this method to find money to spend.

"Can you give me freedom?" Fergie pretended to be pathetic.

"Impossible, listen carefully. If you plan to cooperate with Capitol Records, I will freeze you! You know my character very well."

Song Ya warned mercilessly, "You will tell Kingsley for me again and let her not be whimsical!"

"Can't eight million satisfy your greed! APLUS? I made a lot of money for you!" Fergie screamed, "I'm still with you and ha..."

"You calm down! Think about it before you talk to me!"

"I hate you!" Fergie hung up.

"What's wrong, dear?"

Mariah Carey retracted her ear from the back of the phone.

"Fuji, Capitol Records wants to dig her." Song Ya replied, "How can there be such a good thing? My record company has worked so hard to become a singer. This year, the awards season just helped her win a bunch of small awards. The Source Hip-Hop Music Awards in April also had her share, and it was all due to the difficulty of PR."

In the past two days, while he was in New York, he invited the two shrewd Jewish bosses behind TheSource magazine out to chat, so as to help him and Fergie eliminate all hidden dangers at the Source Hip Hop Music Awards.

"Don't be too strict with her. It's common for singers who are a little popular to receive such invitations."

Mariah Carey didn’t get into trouble with her boyfriend’s ex. “I can understand.” She said, “Since 90 years later, the other five major record companies will send people to contact me almost every year. It’s okay to cause some trouble for Sony Columbia Records. So you don’t need to react that much."

"Capitol Records and Viking America are the two major labels of Beimi EMI. It was because of the failure of their internal struggles that Daniel was able to achieve nothing as the president of Beimi EMI. There was a big holiday between them."

Song Ya explained, “Capitol Records is probably trying to attack the alliance between Daniel and me. The attitude of Pai Kingsley is also very hateful. Hollywood is her home field, but in the recording industry, she doesn’t count.”

"Will Fergie cooperate with them stupidly?" Mariah Carey asked.

"I don't know, Fergie is very smart, but her agent obviously wants to take her away. I'm afraid she can't stand the temptation." Song Ya replied.

"I hope she won't be stupid, or should I help you persuade her?" Mariah Carey suggested.

Ok?It’s a little weird, Song Ya turned to stare at her face, and didn’t seem to be doing a little abacus.

"But she is also your banknote printing machine!"

Mariah Carey replied triumphantly: "How can you help me buy the money printing machine..."

"You really understand..." The two laughed and started fighting.

After spending a night in Tribeca, the two big singers reluctantly rushed to each other. She will go to Tokyo to start the Asian promotion tour of the music box album, and Song Ya will return to Chicago to join the group shooting. Dance out the location scenes of my life.

In early March, the temperature in Chicago was still below freezing. After Song Ya filmed a scene of playing baseball with Adam Sandra and Xiao Pangdun on the iconic run-down clearing in South City, he quickly rubbed his hands and got back to stop not far. A large RV at the location.

"It's so cold... It's still warm in the car."

During the location shooting, the RV rented by the crew was his exclusive lounge and dressing room. "What is this?" He took off his old jacket and saw a new mobile phone on the dressing table. .

"New mobile phone from Nokia." Linda who was busy replied, "The model is 2110i. It can only be used in the urban areas of some major cities across the country and can send and receive text messages."

"SMS?"

Song Ya picked up this black candy bar phone and looked at it carefully. The black and white LCD screen is quite large and smaller than the Motorola flip phone he is used to, but there is no advantage in appearance. The antenna is exposed and even thicker. The Nordic skin is enough. The sense of industrial design used is blown away.In addition to the numbers, the dial keys are arranged neatly with twenty-six English letters such as abc and def, from 2 to 0, with three on each number key.

"SMS, they call it that, and I don't quite understand it. Should I ask their people to teach you?" Linda asked. "But wait, the Nokia staff is teaching her at Amy."

"No need to."

Nokia let Amperin Entertainment take the initiative to contact. They just entered the American market. They learned that a youth idol song and dance heroine intends to use its latest mobile phone to appear in the movie, so they sent someone over to negotiate, but they were stingy. The Scandinavians are only willing to donate $300,000 plus the sponsorship of dozens of top-equipped mobile phones.

Since other competitors did not have any firm will, they won this opportunity.

No way, in this show, the heroine alone can afford to pick up a mobile phone, and only one scene in the whole movie will use it.

"How much is this phone?" Song Ya asked.

"A thousand dollars," Linda replied.

"Well, Motorola is going to be sad..."

Song Ya remembered that it took more than 3,000 dollars to complete all of his Motorola phones, and skillfully pressed the function button under the word Menu in the lower left corner of the screen, found the contact menu that Linda had set up, and selected O'Grady’s name. He dialed the phone, "It's me, APLUS, who sold out all Motorola stocks in my account."

"But now Motorola is in a good situation. Apple's new PowerBook notebook with its processor is already on the market, and the sales momentum is very good. Haven't you been looking forward to it since last year?"

O'Grady was a little surprised, "His stocks and Apple's are both rising, and Apple has risen to a thirty-five cents, which just exceeds your cost line. The situation is very good..."

"Uh...Sell it. Didn't Nokia just go public on the NYSE? Use that money to exchange some of his rice stocks." After a little consideration, Song Ya still insisted on trusting his'intuition'. After all, Apocalypse has used Nokia's mobile phone products, and is inexplicably familiar with the buttons of this 2110i. He knows what that means.

"Haha, I see, is it right based on your judgment on the telecommunications market? Not bad. The recent gains of Nokia stocks on the Helsinki Stock Exchange in your hands are indeed very good. Wait, I will help you out of Motorola. , Open a position in Nokia." O'Grady began to prepare for the transaction, "Want to buy more?"

"No."

In the stock market, Song Ya has suppressed more than 80 million of funds. Except for the two million shares of Dow that have not yet been lifted, the technology stocks in his hands are either like Microsoft and Cisco that have been rising all the way. I started to panic, either Apple, EA, etc. are hovering on the edge of the cost line, but overall they still outperformed the market. He has no intention of adding more investment, and will only change slightly depending on the situation.

As soon as I hung up the phone, the phone rang twice, and an envelope symbol was displayed on the screen.

Song Ya opened, the sender was Amy, and the content contained only a long string of numbers '11111111'.

Hold the phone with both hands, fly with two thumbs skillfully on the keyboard, long press to select a word, 1 is a space,'What are you doing?'Back to the past.

'Didi...didi...' After a while, Amy received this text message.

"card!"

Old Larry immediately stopped, "What sound!?" He was angry, "Who!? The recording crew?"

"Uh……"

Wearing designer coats, Amy, who is walking in front of the camera with Taraji, raised her hand pitifully, "I'm sorry, it's my phone."

"That's just a prop! Didn't you just take a close-up of the screen? What are you doing with it on!? Shut it off! No one can turn on the phone at the shooting scene! Don't waste everyone's time in the ghostly weather of Chicago! You still It's not red!"

Old Larry's head and face was a curse.
