Chicago 1990

"I see, Pierre, but it is not convenient for me to get involved in the legacy of 2PAC..."

"Mr. Geffen also asked for it. Universal has... some benefits in the death row record. To a certain extent they are also afraid of me getting involved in bad things..."

"Well, A+ Records has a high probability of joining the Universal Department..."

"Yes, most of the people in the Global Department are more friendly to me, it can only be so... Let's talk about it after 2PAC's posthumous work comes out."

Pierre Sutton immediately called to inform him of the news, and Song Ya carefully spoke with him in detail, "When will the case of Sugnat violate the parole regulations be pronounced?"

"Wait until late November!"

Pierre Sutton said anxiously: "Sugnett just sent 2PAC the first posthumous single'ToLiveandDieInL.A.' after his death. It definitely meant something. 2PAC DISS Biggie in the lyrics. With California Governor Pete Wilson, this shows that he actually has a way to get 2PAC's legacy and select them carefully."

"I know too, I've heard it."

According to what 2PAC sang in that song, it was obviously implying that the culprit was the alliance between the rivals of the East Coast and the white power in California. At the end of the song, 2PAC also called Dre a bitch and a bummer. The original words were'WithoutgayassDre'. This caused Dray's reputation on the West Coast to plummet.

Consider the counterattack of Sugnett after suffering the overwhelming suspicion of murdering 2PAC. He used the mouth of 2PAC to speak out the suspect, and then stomped the "big traitor" Dre in his eyes.

Judging from Sugnet’s performance after the death of 2PAC, Song Ya’s view of this man has changed. Apart from anything else, he did prove that he was a'true bandit' with actions, but he spoke a little bit about the rules of the world. It is too rigid and it is not the time. For example, the creed of never cooperating with Tiaozi is clung to the fact that the Las Vegas police, which has a very high rate of solving crimes, have not found out the death of 2PAC because of lack of information.

On the contrary, he was planted with others, saying that he was unwilling to cooperate with the police because of his guilty conscience.

Then Sugnet spoke loudly and wanted to pay blood for blood. According to the status of death row records in the minds of the West Coast and the bottom blacks in Los Angeles, the Donkey Party must be afraid of being instigated by him to cause a second Los Angeles incident, which will make the general election secure. An accident occurred, which made the government departments that suppress him extremely efficient.

His living habits are the same as when MC was popular. He spends a lot of money on weekdays. He is blinded when he needs cash. Death row records are likely to repeat the mistakes of MC and ruthless records, and be taken advantage of by various "wishful people" inside and outside. If you don't make money, buy and sell assets cheaply.

Ironically, the Big E of Ruthless Records was forced to terminate the contract with singers such as Derry by force by Sugnet.

"That said, let's not spoil other people's affairs. Let Sugonite fend for himself. I don't ask him or help him. Although he can't move, but the blood gang is very powerful, 2PAC younger brother Kadafi is not claiming Have you ever seen the face of the driver who helped the gunman drive? Sugnat should have his own clue, and the retaliation plan is probably already being implemented..."

Street gangsters really can't do big things. Sugnet was still proud of what violent theory to himself back then. Can violence beat the state apparatus?You violated the parole regulations, go to jail obediently!What gang background is not good.

Sugnat has a high probability of losing the lawsuit or even going bankrupt. Song Ya didn’t want to provoke the trapped beast at this time, and said to Pierre: “Of course I’ll try to get the legacy that can clarify for me through Universal. Just take a photo of the original manuscript, right? In addition, in the media, the publisher Universal is downplayed, saying that I signed with Geffen Records. Ordinary people don’t care or understand the affiliation between these companies."

Song Ya asked: "Because death row records are also indirectly part of Universal, I didn't want to consider Universal at first, but since the matter has reached this point, be careful not to let the outside world spread that I want to take advantage of it.

"I understand." Pierre agreed.

"Oh, by the way, thank Rashida Jones for me."

"I think it's better for you to make this call yourself."

"Well, I will. It's a hard work, Pierre."

Song Ya hung up, "Has Ovitz returned the rice?"

"Yes, these are probably the results."

Ms. Sloan spread out the negotiation documents for the second record company.

Because David Geffen insisted on Mira, FoxyBrown was released as a condition, so the new company carrying Song Ya's future hopes will have Jazzy, Beyoncé and her Destiny Girl group, William Adams group, and unsigned Stupid punk group and other'Apocalypse artists', plus a FoxyBrown.

The black and rap labels of this new company are very obvious, and the two white electronic music players of the dumb punk group insist on living in the UK, so the best location for the studio is in New York on the east coast, saving FoxyBrown and Destiny, Jazzy always wanted to rent the recording studios of Atlantic Records or Sony Columbia Records, and the dumb punk flew closer.

Ovitz promised that Disney will take out a record label in New York and upgrade the studio equipment. Song Ya will pay some contract exchange costs. Disney will take 20% of the equity. Song Ya's A+ copyright and asset management Eighty percent of the company is clear.

The new company will use the balance of interests of AM records that year. Because Disney is not strong in the recording industry, it will only give them the domestic distribution rights in the United States, and foreign distribution will have a deeper layout in the global recording industry. Polygram and EMI. Choose one of them.

The advantage of this model is that it can maintain a relatively high degree of independence. The public relations ability is better under the benefit of equalization, but the disadvantages are also obvious. The issuance cost is high. No domestic and foreign publishers will help with the announcement unless...

Unless the singer is popular, both domestic and foreign distributors are obviously profitable and the risk is low.

So AM Records had a boom when they owned Janet Jackson, Carpenter, Sting and the police band, and the sex pistol band, and quickly declined after their singers left or passed away.

In short, it is very high when the upper limit is high, and very low when the lower limit is low.

I hope that the singer who has transferred to the past can follow the original historical trajectory in the apocalypse. Jazzy Song Ya is the least worried about it. That guy is born to eat rap. The first album is about to pass the platinum line. It has already taken off in New York. Signs up.

Ovitz’s personal public relations services and other cooperation are calculated separately, which naturally includes the obligation to help him through this crisis, but it will have to wait for him to leave Disney, otherwise there will be major legal issues, which will not be able to quench his thirst.

As Tangtang's current joint CEO of Disney, he made a special trip to Spain to stay for several days. Ovitz only got some "leftovers" newcomers in his eyes. He was definitely not satisfied. Fortunately, the cooperation was achieved.

Of course, the release agreement of the old A+ Records and Sony Columbia Records has not yet expired. At present, regardless of whether it is signed with Universal or Ovitz, they are only intentional documents, but everyone is a figure with a good face, and it is impossible to regret it.

"That's it, it's good." Song Ya was satisfied after reading the document.

"Did Ovitz reveal anything?" Sloan asked.

"Said some Shirley Lansing's gossip."

As the president who was in office before the tycoon Redstone bought Paramount Pictures, Shirley Lansing is one of the few managers in Hollywood who firmly follow the old-school superstar route.

Liangtang relied on the remuneration of a Mission: Impossible movie plus the box office share plus his CW film production company's share, and it lost a full 70 million from the global box office of 450 million at one time, plus Liangtang’s CW movie The long-term contract that Yee signed with Paramount in his early years can get more than 10 million Paramount for free each year.

Another Tom, Tom Hanks, due to the budget overrun of the crew during the filming of Forrest Gump, Shirley Lansing agreed to convert half of the film's salary into 10% of the box office revenue, so after the movie's box office burst, Paramount was actually divided into 70 million yuan by the honest man Tom Hanks.

Therefore, the stingy Lei Shidong loves and hates her. Naturally, she loves her ability to make money. What she hates is that she is too conniving to celebrities, especially leading male stars.

After Redstone, Murdoch, Little Bronfman and other Jewish bosses entered Hollywood in the 1990s, the Big Seven should have a secretly executed plan to suppress the swelling of film stars with box office appeal. For example, the so-called 20 million club made by speculation is the ceiling. If you get 20 million for a film, you are a top movie star. Don't think too much.

But now Redstone’s own Paramount Pictures frequently fouls, making him very embarrassed in front of several bosses, and for some reason, he dislikes the soup very much, even if it does not make a profit for Paramount. Less money.

"Does this gossip have any use for us? As long as Shirley Lansing and Liangtang can continue to make money for Redstone, Redstone will continue to bear it."

Ms. Sloan complained.

"Like David Geffen, Ovitz will start to help, but will not say too much for the time being. After all, the contract has not taken effect and the interests have not been bound."

After finishing the spin-off of A+ Records, Song Ya has a new problem in front of him, that is, how to convince those singers who are arranged to go to the new company. Disney is not one of the top six in the recording industry. The distributor switched from Sony Columbia Records to Disney. At present, it is obviously hindering their personal development.

The black girl FoxyBrown has a simple mind, just pay enough for the signing fee. William Adams and others can say, after all, they have not become popular after raising them for several years. Now a large part of the income is from business and acting as a helper, and has no confidence in fighting. what.

Stupid punk is a newcomer from abroad, just follow the normal signing process.

Then the problem comes from the Destiny's True Girl group. They have not released their first album yet, and it is not red or red. But Beyoncé’s father, Matthew Norris, is very shrewd and can be a friend of the former New York Mayor Dingkins. For people, social energy is nothing to them, but they can never be regarded as ordinary people.

Then there was Jazzy, and that guy was even harder to be fooled.

It just so happens that Ms. Destiny and Jazzy are not directly affiliated artists of A+ Records. Ms. Destiny is signed by Matthew Norris' Music World Entertainment Records, and Jazzy is signed by him and his brother Damon Dash and Karim Boke. Roc-A-records.

The two companies A+ Records account for 50% of the shares and are not responsible for specific management.

If you want to successfully complete the spin-off, you must first deal with them, otherwise the promise to the big guys will not be fulfilled, and time is very tight.

The reason why Ovitz is willing to cooperate is that Jazzy and Foxybrown's current albums are selling well, and the new record company has certain prospects.

"Hey, Matthew, one thing, I decided to transfer your Music World Entertainment Records company to a new label. Linda will talk to you about the details."

Song Ya first called Matthew Norris, who should be easier to deal with. He is the boss and has an absolute advantage in the game. It is enough to implement the will with a notice tone. If the opponent wants to resist, he can only use the non-cooperative way of losing both sides. They hurt more when they started.

"Who did you transfer 50% of A+ records to? Who is the distribution company?"

Matthew Norris’s first reaction was that he sold the Destiny Girl, and he was very panicked, "We are going to publish our first post next year. Give me more time and confidence, APLUS, my Beyoncé will not let you down. Of..." he begged.

"No, where do you want to go, I plan to spin off A+ Records and establish a new company, headquartered in New York, focusing on the hip-hop market. This is more convenient for you and me. You don’t want to come to Chicago, don’t you? ?? And Linda has no energy and can't control the East Coast rappers, FoxyBrown and Jazzy... You know, they are too messy and cause a lot of trouble for me."

Song Ya said half-truth.

"Oh, so... So both FoxyBrown and Jazzy will go to the new company? How about you?" Matthew Norris breathed a sigh of relief.

"I and Fergie still stay on A+ records, mainly Chicago and West Coast singers." Song Ya replied.

"The publisher is..."

"I can't reveal the details yet. Wait until our release agreement with Sony Columbia Records ends. Your Music World Entertainment Records company will change the agreement first."

"Isn't it the Big Six?"

Matthew Norris really guessed, "What is the name of the new label you are going to let us go to?"

"Uh……"

Song Ya glanced at the files in Sloan's hands, "CapitalCities, Metropolis Records."
