"This is the California Music Charts that are broadcast on time every Saturday by California Music Television.

Well, after this week's lackluster charts, I'm yawning.

George, what about you? ”

On the large LCD screen in the living room, the host Gary. Gary rubbed his eyes and turned to the guest next to him, the president of the California Music Association, George. Bruce.

As soon as the camera position in the studio changed, a close-up of George's front was placed on the screen.

This is a silver-haired old man, probably in his sixties, with sharp eyes and a very stern facial expression: "This week's performance album in California is a disaster.

Not every time the result of pulling a general in a dump, there will be Napoleon. This week's sixteen albums, on tiptoe, can go under the table, not only without highlights, but also tiresome. ”

"Wow, old George is still so spicy." Marina sat on the carpet in front of the sofa in the living room, doing yoga and laughing.

Song Yan sat on a single sofa chair with a glass of red wine in her hand: "The president of the California Music Association, isn't he afraid of offending people?" ”

"Of course he's not afraid, he's the deputy director of EMI Music, and the California record company can't wait to climb his thighs so that he can enter the national music market." Merina explained.

Qin Shiyue sat on the sofa on the other side, her legs curled up, covered her feet with a long skirt, and said with a smile: "He's right, this week's performance records are not very good."

However, one thing that is stronger here than in China is that there are at least sixteen albums that can be on the list, and there is no such performance list in China. ”

"In terms of musical diversity, there is still a long way to go in China." Ye Luo, who was sitting on the sofa in the middle, smiled, took a sip of red wine, and then tilted his head slightly and said. "Sister Mai, you're blocking my view."

"Which part is in the way?" Merina asked.

Ye Luo rolled his eyes: "Knowingly asked." ”

"Merry, your hip line is so good." Qin Shiyue asked at this time, "Is there any secret?" ”

"Do yoga." As she stretched, she said, "Yoga is very helpful for shaping the lower body. Shi Yue, Song Yan, do you want to learn? ”

"I'm not old enough to stay in shape with yoga." Song Yan said lightly.

Merina and Qin Shiyue's expressions changed slightly at the same time, these two women are twenty-five years old this year, the other is twenty-six years old, and Song Yan has just turned twenty.

Song Yan's sentence undoubtedly poked at their sore spots, compared to Ye Luo, their age is a little over-standard.

Ye Luo coughed. glanced at Song Yan.

Song Yan took a sip of red wine contentedly.

"OK, the last list to be revealed this week is the pop music chart." On the TV, Gary looked slightly perked up and continued, "Recently, the pop music scene in California has been full of good songs.

Previously, Marina's "Fighter" sold 6.5 million copies in California within a week. This is the best California has achieved in the traditional record market in recent years, following the introduction of the online fee-based download model.

I thought this album by Merina. will stand out for a long time.

As a result, a week later, the little-known Angel Boys, the first album of their career, ran out of six million copies. Considering the difference in fame between them and Marina, this achievement. Almost unimaginable.

Then this week, another very strong album came out, and this week's sales reached an eye-popping 7.1 million copies.

This rookie female singer from the East actually killed Marina.

George. From your professional point of view, is it possible that this result is mixed with some water? ”

"Absolutely not." "In fact, after I noticed the album, it was on a loop in my car stereo for three days.

The song "Someonelikeyou" seems to have a special magic, which is an auditory experience that cannot be refused. Although the female singer is a newcomer, she is very experienced in singing. ”

"George, you shouldn't have said the title track of the album before I could name it. You robbed me of my lines. Gary grumbled with a laugh.

"Haha, I'm sorry, I can't help it." George also laughed.

Song Yan picked up the remote control, and the TV screen dimmed: "That's it." Xiao Qiong's record has been a huge success in the California market. Ye Luo, now I have been contacted by a major label record company to authorize us to operate this record in the national market, including EMI Records. ”

"Congratulations, Ye Luo." "I didn't expect you to conquer California's music market so quickly. ”

"One or two albums, it doesn't mean much." Ye Luo said modestly.

"I'm miserable." Merina said with a sad face, "You see, I have become the object of comparison for your beauty records, and they are all stepping on my position. ”

"Don't make a fuss." Ye Luo smiled, "I also made that record of yours." ”

"But you didn't write most of the songs." "I don't care, you're going to help me write a new album." ”

"That's not appropriate, is it?" Song Yan said lightly, "Mai Rui, you are cooperating with Liyin, your album can be directly promoted by Liyin to the world, our Beauty Records can only cover the music market in California, and you will suffer a loss if you cooperate with us." ”

Merina smiled slightly and said to Song Yan: "If I terminate my contract with Liyin and then jump to Beauty Records, President Song, do you dare to accept it?" ”

"What don't you dare." Song Yan smiled slightly.

"I signed a ten-year contract with Liyin, and now there are more than three years left." "There are more than $60 million in liquidated damages, and of course I will bear these liquidated damages." ”

"Wait......" Ye Luo felt wrong when he heard it, "Merry, are you serious?" ”

"Seriously, of course." "Liyin is currently obsessed with running records selected by major labels, and they are more focused on operating in the capital sector, while their own creative team is not very good at what the company is."

Now the pressure of record production is basically on my side, and Liyin can contribute very little, which I am very dissatisfied with.

I had to put together a private team to make the record, and I put a lot of effort into it.

Originally, I was invited to come over, and they had better musicians, such as Hanguan. ”

Speaking of this, Merina glanced at Qin Shiyue, but found that Qin Shiyue's expression did not fluctuate at all, so she continued: "Now that Yeluo has his own company in the United States, although it is only the scale of the Chinese label at present, I believe that under his leadership, the beauty company will definitely have a more ambitious future."

And I think that although you are both very talented, you are still newcomers in the American music industry and may need the help of me and my team. ”

Merina's words were very solemn, which made Ye Luo a little confused.

"You have to think about it." After a brief period of surprise, Ye Luo immediately came back to his senses and said in a deep voice, "Leaving Liyin and joining the beauty, you are tantamount to giving up the music market in the world." ”

"Just give it up for now." Merina smiled slightly.

"Okay." Without waiting for Ye Luo to express her position, Song Yan put down her wine glass and said, "Since Mai Rui has the sincerity to join us, then we will pay the liquidated damages of 60 million US dollars, which is our sincerity."

Ye Dong, what do you think? ”

Ye Luo rolled her eyes, her heart was really a rich girl who spent money without blinking, this sentence of 60 million US dollars is gone, where can I find money now?

Xiao Qiong's record profits have not been confiscated, and even if they are collected, the current sales of more than 700 million copies will only be about 20 million US dollars, and what about the other 40 million?

But then again, for a world-class singer like Merina to join Beauty, the liquidated damages should indeed be paid by the Beauty Company, which is equivalent to a transfer fee.

And the addition of Merina is very beneficial for the beauty company. Her private team can professionally improve the beauty company. And her joining is undoubtedly a huge boost to the reputation of Beauty Company in the United States and even the world.

Not to mention that she herself is one of the best singing women in the world, and even the best at writing songs, there is no one.

Song Yan was obviously aware of this qiē, so although she didn't have much eye to eye with Mai Rena in terms of personal feelings, she immediately proposed it to Ye Luo.

This decisiveness and courage made Ye Luo secretly heartbroken.

So at this moment, Ye Luo didn't hesitate for long, and immediately clapped: "Then it's decided." (To be continued......)
