Chapter 889: Bitter Lover
"Get the deep-sea studio ready for me, I'm going to record a song, it's the melody and other requirements."
After the Grammys night, public opinion quickly polarized, with some sneering at the couple's jokes, and some attacking the Grammys for deliberately playing tricks and being opaque, saying that they wanted to be popular groups to support and perform hard, but also to show their superior taste.
The two themselves declined most of the interviews, and Mariah Carey took the Gulfstream 4SP back to her hometown of New York that night to lick her wounds, and Song Ya took a flight back to Chicago the next day.
After school, he called Dion Wilson, the production director of A+ Records, to his home in Highland Park and gave him a I know you so well script, "as fast as he could." ”
"Okay."
Dion Wilson flipped through it casually, "The melody is too simple, isn't it?" Also deliberately increase the noise floor and distortion? Do you want to play with Low-Fidelity (as opposed to High-Fidelity) retro sound? Any explanation? Do you think this will be the new trend? ”
"There's nothing to say, let's go and prepare."
Song Ya was not in the mood to explain too much, "Oh yes, have the choral conductors and vocal instructors I asked you to prepare for that church in the northern suburbs already gone to work?" ”
"Go, at your request, I found a young symphony conductor and a friend who is a vocal coach." Dion Wilson replied: "It's all white, and the level is absolutely fine." ”
"Well, I'll look for a chance to check on the progress." To continue to create opportunities to meet with old Barne, he is not a person who gives up after encountering a setback.
"Understood. Belch...... Last night's Grammy ......" Dion Wilson hesitantly reported: "A+ Records has received numerous interviews and they want you to talk about what they think of the Grammy judges. ”
"I know, I'm asking Linda to pick the right media, and you will reject it all for me for the time being."
As soon as Dion Wilson was dismissed, Linda walked into the study again, "Quincy Jones's youngest daughter, Rashida Jones, who works for VIBE magazine, is outside the cottage, she drove herself, please be sure to meet her." ”
Song Ya smiled dumbly, "My enemies are afraid that I'm going crazy now, aren't they?" ”
"Given your past ways, yes."
Linda looked worriedly at her young boss, "How are you going to get revenge on Rick Rubin?" ”
"I'm not going to ...... him"
Song Ya really feels a little guilty about Rick Rubin, according to this year's big bull market, especially the big bull market of Internet stocks, if DeLay successfully lists the Amerika music website next year, even if the market value is estimated to be 100 million, the value of the name right of this website is definitely expensive.
And Rick Rubin owns 49% of the shares of the American music magazine, and then according to the editor-in-chief Shirley Fleming almost loses 1 million dollars a year, he loses 510,000, and he also has to pay 490,000 yuan, which has been a loss for several years, and now the biggest piece of fat, the right to use the name of this magazine was stolen from him by himself and DeLay using information asymmetry, and the previous content networking of Centennial Magazine also brought the first wave of high-end traffic to the website of classical musicians and professional enthusiasts, according to Delay, Many of their long posts are still being talked about by new users.
"What do you mean...... Just let him go? Linda was surprised that the boss who had to repay her suddenly changed sex.
"His babbling personality wants to take revenge and show off to me by attributing the power of the collective to himself, and he alone can't make me and Mimi nine zero. Well, I'll pay a sum of money to buy back his stake in the American music magazine, so that I can sweep him out of the magazine, and then we can unilaterally claim victory. ”
Song Ya said: "I think that's enough. ”
"Wow, it's like PolyGram is calling you 'out' of Def Jam? That magazine is still losing money, and he can still take a sum of cash and leave without losing at all, just like you did at the beginning, you lost face but got real profits......"
Linda smiled with relief, "This should be a little less mature than you, Rick Rubin is really not very active, Warner don't say, just the rock music circle with his friends, those white people...... Sometimes I feel like we're going to fire the Big Six. ”
"Three million, I remember that he bought the shares of those magazines one after another, and it was about the same price."
Song Ya shook his head and didn't want to talk about this matter more, "At most, three and a half million, tell him that if he doesn't accept it, he will start a war, and he should know what kind of person I am after I am ruthless." ”
"Okay."
Later, Song Ya met Rashida Jones in the living room, the daughter born to Quincy Jones and Jewish actress Pegil Pulipton is a little surprisingly beautiful, her skin is white in mixed race, and she should not have inherited too many genes from Quincy Jones, no wonder she fought a pen battle in the media to protect the reputation of white mothers and 2PAC.
"My dad said it's none of his business this time, believe it or not, APLUS."
However, she and her sister, LL Cool J's ex-girlfriend and 2PAC's current girlfriend Kida Jones, who have just turned 20 years old, have just turned 20 years old, and they have used the power of their boss and father to make the editorial department of VIBE magazine a chicken.
But unlike Kidda Jones, who is obsessed with dating hip-hop stars and enjoying media attention, her dress and demeanor aesthetics are more inclined to the mainstream high-end fashion circle, and it seems that she is not in vain in the music and fashion circles of Manhattan, which is more closely connected to Europe, "He said that this time the Grammys are really a bit too much with you and your wife, and if you are willing to accept it, he will say something at the Oscars, you know, my dad is also the producer of the Oscars this year, oh, you are competing for the cat-and-mouse game, right?" She asked.
"Yes."
The sequel to Dance My Life is still not much better, the box office forecast of 30 million North meters remains unchanged, and the cat-and-mouse game has entered a long-term screening period of less than 100 theaters, just waiting for the Oscars to win and fight again, "Then it's decided, I'm waiting for the good news of the Oscars." Song Ya nodded.
Now Rashida Jones was also surprised, "Uh, my dad still said ......"
"That old thing is quite verbose." Song Ya was amused by her.
"You!"
She was enraged, "Looks like everyone is right, you're a complete bastard APLUS." Standing up and flicking his long hair: "The manor is good, but the furnishings are very tasteless, goodbye!" Then he stepped on his high heels and kicked the ground and walked away.
Quincy Jones he didn't want to dwell on it anymore, that old thing made an album for the legendary white singer Frank Sinatra, he was an important contributor to the glory days of the 'Motown Sound', or the Bole of a bunch of popular singers such as MJ and R Kelly, and he also had a good relationship with Chicago politics and the Donkey Party, and he was too senior, if it weren't for his bad character, his achievements would be much bigger than now, and he couldn't completely step on the soles of his feet, Song Ya didn't want to do meaningless things.
Besides, he also has to guard against the trick that Motura made to himself before the release of the money train, using the male protagonist Wesley Snepes to design himself, stimulate himself, use his psychology of liking quick revenge, and deteriorate the relationship with the film's investor and distributor Sony, Motura knows himself too well, and his conspiracy routine is Italian, more than one layer.
Now there are three more urgent things in front of me, deal with the divorce, find a way to get the old Barne, and successfully get a bachelor's degree from the University of Chicago.
No, there is another thing, the tycoon Picaul seems to have forgotten about the stubble that introduced him to the Madoff Fund after completing the Netscape equity transaction, and he has not found himself yet, and he is not too anxious to call and ask, should it be a remorse.
Over the weekend, he started recording I know you so well on A+ Records.
It's a very simple song, he played the guitar himself, and he got it done in half a day, and after the recording, he pushed open the door of the recording studio, and Goodman, Hamlin, Sloan, and others arrived, "Are you just going to have these two lyrics over and over again?" It's simple and crude, but it clearly conveys a very sad emotion. Sloan commented.
"Hmm."
Song Ya smiled at her, and then confessed to Dion Wilson: "Pressed into ...... What kind of MP3 format, send someone he can trust to bring to DeLay, he knows when he can release it on the Amerika Music website. Then save the master tape. ”
"What do you mean?"
Dion Wilson didn't understand a little, "You don't plan to release this song through regular channels?" ”
"Yes, it's probably an underground distribution model through online channels." Song Ya explained: "Actually, it's similar to the underground distribution of radio channels, but the medium is different. ”
“OK。”
"Let's all get out." Sending Dion Wilson and the others in the studio away, Song Ya closed the door of the studio with a high level of soundproofing, and said to his most trusted lawyer and publicist: "I expect Mimi to announce the news of his divorce from me in the near future, no more than a week." ”
Goodman and Hamlin were naturally mentally prepared, but Ms. Sloan was still in the dark, "What!? This is so surprising because of the failure of the Grammys? ”
"No, we've already signed an agreement."
Song Ya explained: "In fact, the primary problem facing me and her now is the same as MJ and Elvis Presley's daughter, who announced the news first will take the initiative, which is about who dumped whom, according to game theory, the final result of me and her not communicating with each other is that the date of announcing the news is infinitely close to now, today." ”
"You're going to announce it before she does?" Sloan asked.
"No, I'll wait for her to announce first, I'm a man, and I have to be gracious." Song Ya pointed to the recording studio, "But I'll release the song on the Internet as soon as she announces it." ”
"A very sad song, I understand, you want to create your own bitter lover character, right?" Sloan reacted quickly.
"Sort of, I'm really in a bad mood right now, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to write this song." Song Ya talked casually.
"That's good, it's good for all of you." Goodman and Hamlin looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
"So be it, Ms. Sloan, you prepare the divorce PR for me, and Hamlin continues to act as my spokesperson." Song Ya said, "Goodman, you stay for a while, and we will discuss the matter of going to old Barn again." ”
At the end of the meeting, Hamlin pushed open the studio door, said goodbye to Ms. Sloane, and hurried to his car, "Tim, is Miss Finn there?" Well, let her listen ......"
He dialed Sherin Fen's phone, "Miss Finn, are you still in Ireland?" Take Robb Jr. back to Los Angeles as soon as possible, the timing is just right. ”
