Chicago 1990

"I'm sorry, Daniel..."

Daniel may never know that his gaffe has wiped out the last look up and admiration of the life mentor in his mind, and Song Ya even wanted to leave a few words on the spot.

Use Mariah Carey and I as a bargaining chip to help you keep your position?That's ridiculous. If a singer like me usually renews his contract for five years, he knows what will happen during the five years of staying at Sony Columbia?Not to mention that the copyright of songs continues to flow to the ATV/Sony music copyright library, and I can't get through the hurdle in my heart.

And also came up with an idea to give me full control of Mariah Carey... Don't you know I have a bottom line?Besides, she can't control it so well, maybe someday will give me a two-stroke one...

Daniel is not that important now, Song Ya even has to turn around, because he will never renew his contract. He was in front of Sony’s Hirai showdown last time. After Mariah Carey suddenly left alone, he and Sony again. Shuerhofer of North Rice and even CEO Nobuyuki Idei tried to save himself through phone calls, but Sony still insisted on including the copyright of the songs of A+ Records in the transaction with MJ, which shows that Sony must also be prepared to bear its own non-renewal. As the president of Sony Columbia Records, it is impossible for him to understand the psychology of all parties involved.

After venting, he sat decadently on the sofa, holding his forehead in silence.

Song Ya still chose to stay, nothing else, this trouble was brought to everyone by his wife, and he couldn't be blameless.And he just helped himself earn more than 30 million.

"Oh, I almost forgot to talk about business."

Song Ya sat next to him and had nothing to say: "My new Brazilian version of the CD and cassette will be released locally in November? Can you postpone my trip to Latin America to announce the release? The movie I invested in is probably at that time. Premiere."

"Better go there."

Daniel wiped his face and cleaned up his mood, "The people in the South American branch's distribution department like your AiSeEuTePego very much. They won a Brazilian national live singing party for you, and it was very difficult to make a final appearance."

"Platter party?" Song Ya asked.

"Of course." Daniel smiled bitterly. "Don't worry, you are worthy of your coffee position. Besides, you are not well-known there, and you don't listen to hip-hop music very much in the Latin area."

"It's just a slobber song, do I need to sing it specifically? The piracy problem over there is very serious..."

"Go, always look at the market reaction, the US singers take the initiative to sing Portuguese songs, they will buy it." Daniel persuaded.

"OK, but let me know in advance that I don't actually speak Portuguese, so don't make me embarrassed then."

Song Ya shrugged. Most countries in South America speak Spanish, the market is much larger than the Portuguese-speaking area, and there are more Spanish-speaking immigrants in the United States. Therefore, many singers of the United States send Spanish songs, but few speak Portuguese.

"rest assured……"

The two were silent for a while, "APLUS." This time Daniel took the initiative to speak, "The latest thing..."

"I know, everyone has been affected, and I'm sorry." Song Ya apologized again.

"Actually, what I want to say is..." Daniel said: "Have you ever noticed that you have become more and more arrogant recently. I know that you are very successful in the field of technology investment, but the recording industry does not spend any money. Fanxinsi’s network management will cause problems. For example, this time, if you repeatedly explain the seriousness of the matter to Miss Kelly..."

"I said it."

Song Ya said helplessly: "I told her before and analyzed the pros and cons very clearly. Of course, I kept reminding her, and I didn’t use a too harsh tone... plus Sony’s negotiations with MJ dragged on for too long. , I almost forgot about it later, it was my problem."

"Well, I can understand, don't blame yourself. But to be honest, the change in your attitude has been felt by everyone, but no one will say it."

Daniel asked, "Walter fell at home,

"Uh, Mimi has been there, I... I invited him to a party at Bedford Mountain Villa." Song Ya recalled, and he really hadn't visited Walt before.

"He helped a lot when you signed for Sony Columbia Records and wrote so many big-selling songs to Miss Kelly. He has a relatively detached position in the company, but he is respected by everyone. Don’t talk to him. The relationship is frozen. And..."

When Song Yazheng wanted to agree, Daniel added: "This time NAS has also followed us to put the copyright of the song into the transaction. You have to comfort him. He has a lot of influence on the streets of Queens."

"NAS and I are brothers, don't worry, I will call him and apologize later." Song Ya nodded to teach.

"No, it's not that simple. Did you sign Jazzy with your A+ record? After Jazzy got the singer's appointment, he immediately hyped himself up in his hometown Brooklyn, and Newman told me that NAS had always looked down on Jazzy before. You should consider their feelings before deciding on this matter."

Daniel said: "There are some other people. In short, you can't ignore your old friends in the recording industry, otherwise the ghosts know that they are upset and will reveal what you used to be. Be careful. If one day we really fight against Sony, While Sony chose to suppress those little singers who followed us at the time, our relationship with the record industry may suffer a chain reaction, one by one abandoning us, such as Shakira, and her agent Estefan told Miss Kelly I’m very dissatisfied with his sudden betrayal. I heard that Miss Kelly also snatched his wife Gloria’s songs before? Listen to me, don’t be too arrogant APLUS."

"Ok……"

Daniel is really confidant, but now let himself go back to the party and busy socializing, to win others one by one?Although of course I don’t mind doing these things when I have free time, but because I don’t have enough time, it’s not cost-effective...

The new album will be released in October, and A+CN will also start trial broadcasts. In November, there will be an unplugged concert on MTV, the cat and mouse game will begin, and four major concerts will be held in December.You have to run publicity, go to school and manage business...

I have already taken another harder road, Daniel, and become a tycoon. Then all the alienation will not be a problem. Maintain personal friendship by maintaining relationships?It would be better to be someone in awe of others, as long as I crawl fast enough!I never wanted to be a arrogant person, but sometimes inadvertent decision-making is naturally arrogant in the eyes of others. There is no way, because my energy is beyond their imagination, including you...

"I'll fix it, don't worry too much, Daniel, I feel like you didn't rest well last night?"

Daniel couldn't teach himself anything, Song Ya got up and stretched out his hand to say goodbye.

"Your new album will sell well."

Daniel sent him to the door, "The same sentence, reconcile with his wife as soon as possible, and don't talk over the topic of renewal with Sony, especially her."

"Do you think I can still control her?"

"Be hard-hearted APLUS, control, control her, for me!"
