Chapter 132: The First Chicago Conference

"The good news is that the magazine does intend to change hands, and the bad news is that he's now in the hands of ABC, and he's already being targeted, much more financially than you."

After the last stop on the West Coast, Seattle, Song Ya returned to Chicago for a short rest, and Hayden also figured out the current situation of the magazine.

ABC (米国播地地) has been in a state of indigestion after being swallowed by the Metropolitan Communications Company with only a quarter of its market value in 86, and for this reason, ABC began to merge, spin off, reboot, and sell off its various brands...... In short, they tried all kinds of ways to try to revitalize their assets.

The unfortunate bastard of America Music was the first to be haphazardly incorporated into a hi-fi magazine focused on audio equipment, with only a few pages left in the magazine. Before the hi-fi magazine was to be sold, ABC spun off America Music and restarted its distribution, starting with a monthly magazine and then turning into a bi-monthly magazine with a loss. ABC quickly lost confidence and announced that it could be sold, and the buyer who is now openly interested in taking over is the well-known investor Littleman.

"ABC, this is going to be over......" Song Ya was amused by ABC's suffocating operation.

"Yes, ABC can't protect itself."

Hayden threw Song Ya a few copies of the previous issue of the American music magazine, "The version you see is a bi-monthly magazine, and at this time the magazine is already compromising on the market, otherwise Columbia Records will not be able to stuff the advertorial that touted you, and you can look at the previous version." ”

Song Ya flipped through it casually, and the monthly edition at that time could be said to have collected all the elements that were not suitable for the times, and the main content of the magazine was mainly focused on classical music, opera and musicals, and there was only a small space on popular music, which undoubtedly limited its audience. And because most of the celebrities in these industries are old, there will be obituaries in the magazine every now and then, and I don't know whether it is tradition or other reasons, his family also likes to put the obituary in a conspicuous position, and the reader turns the first few pages, and the first thing that catches his eye is the news of the death of a musician who is 80 or 90 years old, which greatly affects the mood.

"What does the editor-in-chief of this magazine think?" Song Ya thought to herself that if she really bought it, the first thing she would do was to open the editor-in-chief.

"The editors-in-chief of the magazines founded in the last century are all over 60 years old and stick to tradition." Hayden said.

"Then the price of this magazine should not be very high, right?" Song Ya asked.

Hayden shook his head with a smile, "First of all, the name MusicalAmerica is worth a lot of money, and then it will publish an annual directory every year, which is analogous to the Billboard annual list in the classical music industry, which is very authoritative in the industry." The potential buyer, Littman, also has deep pockets, and if you bid for it, you will definitely not be able to make a bargain. ”

"Anyway, let's ask for a quote first......"

Song Ya left the matter to Hayden and went to his new home in Hyde Park with Song Ah Sheng.

There is nothing to move in the house, in a week, Song Asheng found someone to clean up the house simply, in addition to the recording studio in the attic is still under construction, there is no big problem with the residents on the first and second floors, and the people from the party service company are busy inside and out.

"Ari, I never dared to think of living in a house like this."

Aunt Susie was also there, she had been helping to decorate the room for the past few days, and Emily ran down from the stairs excitedly, "I have picked the room, and no one is allowed to rob it!" ”

More than a year has passed, and at the age of thirteen, she is no longer small, and she gradually looks like a big girl.

"There are so many rooms in M-FXXK, and no one is robbing you!" Aunt Susie scolded, and her attitude towards Song Ya was much gentler as soon as she turned her head, "Her grades are not good, do you know?" ”

"I know."

Emily's grades are probably in the middle and lower reaches of the class, but Song Ya doesn't care, it's good that she doesn't have all the bad habits like the girls in Southtown Public School, and maybe because of herself, she is interested in music, is already a member of the school choir, and is quite appreciated by her teachers.

“YO……”

Al walked in from the outside, "This place is really nice, but unfortunately there is no swimming pool." He always had something to say, "It's always weird for a hip-hop star to buy a mansion without a pool." ”

"em......" Song Ya said.

"Go pick a room, Al." Aunt Susie looked at him much more pleasing to the eye now.

"Uh...... I want to ......."

Al scratched his head, "APLUS, isn't your apartment leased yet?" ”

Song Ya knew that Al met a black girl on the way to the promotion, not flesh and blood, but probably following a friend who chased stars to come over to play, and the personality and family conditions seemed to be okay, "The lease is probably a few months away, and you can live in it when we move in." ”

Al and Delai's income has also come up now, go out to go to the cave, they can also share as much as Song Ya shares, and in the future RememberTheName's commercial performances, Song Ya will give them a share that is not low, plus he and Delai can also get a few tenths of a single income, and they are also a little singer.

Now that they are a little famous, it is not appropriate to rub against themselves anymore, mainly because he and Delai are not short of women now, and Delai seems to be preparing to buy a house.

"Thank you." Al smiled and fist clammed with Song Ya, "By the way, people from Los Angeles, New York, and Atlanta will come over at night." ”

"I know, it's almost ready here."

May is finally coming, and the tripartite joint propaganda will start immediately, and Song Ya just happened to move to a new house to celebrate the party, get to know several groups of people together, and hold a meeting by the way.

It was not dark yet, the lights inside and outside the villa were fully turned on, and the people of the party company set up a cold dining table and grill on the lawn outside, and made an inflatable rainbow door to stand at the door, and the low fence was hung with colored light bulbs, and the small reception desk was placed next to the rainbow door, and an old white man in a white dress stood guard there with a guest list, followed by a car boy.

De Lai pulled the stereo equipment over, and it didn't take long for soft music to sound inside and outside the villa.

The first to come was Michelle and his boyfriend, they lived in the University of Chicago not far away, the two walked over, and Song Ya hugged the two at the door.

"You're really fast." Michelle smiled and handed over a bottle of champagne.

"Thank you." Song Ya took the bottle, "It's your suggestion." ”

All three laughed, "Ugh...... The guests at my meetings are all people from the music industry and can go crazy. Song Ya was afraid that they would not be able to adapt to the atmosphere when they waited.

"It's okay, it's the same when we were younger."

Michelle pointed to her boyfriend next to her, "You can't imagine how crazy he used to be." ”

His boyfriend smiled shyly.

Not long after the two went in, Old Joe's extended Lincoln arrived, and Eric, who was driving, threw the key to the little brother who was in the car, and trotted to open the door for Old Joe.

Old Joe led the two black men out of the car, "Hey, APLUS, let me introduce you, this is Dr. Dre, do you know each other?" ”

. How could Song Ya, the main member of A, not know, "Hello. He shook hands with the gang-rapping old-timer, "I have long admired the great name." ”

"This is SnoopDogg."

"Hello."

"We all love your RememberTheName." Dre pointed at Song Ya, "Really?" He asked Snoop Dogg.

"Yay." This henchman of his seemed to be very reticent.

Goodman, Hayden and others also arrived by car, as well as Will Gardner, who was in charge of A+ Audio's legal affairs.

NAS then led the professor and the entire MainSource band to the show.

AND BABYFACE WHO CAME FROM ATLANTA WITH FERGE.

When the musicians and DJs in Chicago's local music scene were almost there, a shuttle bus slowly stopped at the door, "Yay! That's right, this is it! Come down, girls! There's wine, there's stars, let's have a good time tonight! Delay! ”

DeLay gave him a middle finger and worked on the DJ booth as the rhythm of the music began to turn loud.

In the study room on the second floor, "Let's welcome Dre and Snoop Dogg from Los Angeles, as well as professors and NAS ...... in New York."

Excluding idle people, Song Ya introduced the target people to each other, "and BABYFACE ...... Atlanta"

"I've prepared a joint communications plan for May, and we'll discuss it and see if there's anything missing."
