Within a day, William Morris delivered the news to all of the large and medium-sized record labels in the country, that is, the top management of potential buyers.

"Now, you've been put on the shelf, with a price tag."

Song Ya set up the command center at his home in Hyde Park, far from New York, and Samuel returned to Chicago, "My colleagues will continue to audit the rest." ”

"Thanks, Samur." Song Ya knew that the other party couldn't stay in New York all the time.

"In short, there are many minor problems, and overseas income is the hardest hit area, but Sony Columbia Records can prevaricate the past with various reasons such as account periods, settlement time differences and exchange differences, and it is estimated that there are no major problems. Of course, the current progress is only to the first two singles, and it will take about 20 days to complete the follow-up work. ”

"Okay, I got it." The corners of Song Ya's mouth twitched, and the cost of working hours alone would cost Coopers about 20,000 dollars in one working day, not counting other consulting fees and service fees charged on a pro-rata basis every year in the future.

Samuel said: "Now there is a critical juncture, in November, your I HATE U I LOVE U single release will face a deadline, if Motura is frozen, or not frozen but passively released, you can file a lawsuit, and the chances of winning the lawsuit and getting five million liquidated damages are very high." ”

"Once your lawsuit is filed, bystanders will see the situation thoroughly, let go of their worries, and if other companies are willing to come forward to match your contract, they should be ready to act. The whole month of September and October will be a period of constant probing, evaluation and negotiation with them, and you will have to constantly present and sell yourself to the outside world, try to dispel the concerns of potential buyers, and increase your personal value. Unless...... There is a gambler like Richard Branson, the owner of Viking records, who plays his cards out of the ordinary. ”

"Aren't Viking records selling out fast?" Song Ya asked, "Richard Branson is leaving, otherwise it would be good to be a colleague with MJ's sister, we had a good chat the last time we visited MJ." ”

"Yes, so every one less spoiler in the record industry is not a good thing for the bargaining power of the singers."

Samur asked, "Do you have any other questions?" ”

"Hamlin suggested that I should not do this, I prepared three songs, a remixed version of i hate u i love u, a studio version of I Feel It Coming, and a piece of pure music, and I presented these three songs to Sony Columbia Records to officially start the album release process." "This will speed up the showdown to the end of September or the beginning of October, and I really want to shorten the time of the see-saw, and Motura has been bothering me ......"

"Don't, how can you be sure that Motura would rather break the contract than stop your album? A single and an album are not the same thing, what if Motura instead agrees? Your first title is half-scrapped, and it is difficult to negotiate a good result in the issuance contract of the first album, he can maneuver for a long time with just a trick of delaying negotiations, and then the issuance will be stuck again...... There are too many variables. ”

After Samuel left, the first person to ask for a price appeared.

"BABYFACE, HEY, HOW'S IT GOING?" Song Ya didn't expect it to be a small company like LAFACE Records, although they competed with Sony Columbia Records for Donnie Breston, but do singers of their level have the strength and guts to break up?

"Thirty million?"

BABYFACE ASKED IN A JOKING TONE, "I HEARD THAT YOU WILL PAY 20 MILLION OUT OF YOUR OWN POCKET?" ”

"Yes, my attitude is clear, and I think William Morris has conveyed it for me very accurately." Song Yake was not in the mood to joke.

"I know, I know, I heard about it through the people at Alista Records......"

BABYFACE ASKED AGAIN: "THEY SAID THAT IF YOU OFFER A FIXED PRICE, WHOEVER PAYS 30 MILLION WILL HELP YOU BRING OUT YOUR SIX SINGLES FROM SONY COLUMBIA RECORDS, AND YOU WILL SIGN WITH WHOMEVER YOU WANT, RIGHT?" ”

"It's not about signing a contract with anyone, it's about the five-year record distribution rights of my A+ records, and at the same time I will sign with A+ records for five years, two specializations."

Song Ya couldn't tell from the other party's relaxed tone that he was just calling to care about him, or if he really had intentions, so he could only say everything clearly.

"OK, I see...... You're fine, right? ”

BABYFACE HUNG UP THE PHONE AFTER A FEW MORE PLEASANTRIES.

A little later, the second call came, and after hearing the other party's highly recognizable crisp voice, Song Ya immediately frowned, "Hey, APLUS, it's me, Big E." ”

"Damn it!" He secretly cursed in his heart, it is a foregone conclusion that Dre will leave Big E's ruthless record, in addition to Snoop Dogg, it is estimated that there are still a large number of people with him, if Big E wants to sign himself at this time to make up for the vacancy of Drew's departure, it will be embarrassing, and he will never focus on the record company of the gang's rap, let alone the other party is still lame.

"Is that condition of your departure real? I didn't get the message, or did some other friend tell me? Big E asked very familiarly.

"I don't know, it was William Morris who helped me inform you, FXXK, I promise I got them to inform you, Big E." Song Ya threw the pot to the agent, "yes, it's really ......"

"Hahahaha!" Big E was so happy over there, "You have to press the price down brother, I'm very optimistic about you, we can definitely do a big job together." ”

"Uh, I'm sorry about this, I'm not going to reduce the price, I can't do anything below that condition."

Song Yacai, who is full of brothers, is too lazy to talk nonsense, Big E can't even take advantage of the 'real' brother, let alone a superficial brother like himself.

"Hey, let's have a good chat, when are you coming to Los Angeles?"

Big E rambled a lot, and Song Ya felt that he didn't want to take out 30 million at all, but he put his mind at ease and waited patiently for the opportunity to hang up the phone.

"The news is really fast enough......"

Indeed, the news spread quickly, but apart from these two, no record company called to inquire, and in the evening, it was the entertainment news columns of several TV stations that broke the matter first.

'The latest news, Sony Columbia Records' singer APLUS was rumored to be deliberately jumping out of the contract, and in the case of its unreleased monograph, this impulsive and willful behavior will face tens of millions of liquidated damages......

Needless to say, this must be a good friendship with Motula, and the wicked sue first.

According to industry insiders, in just over a year, several singles created by him have created nearly 10 million record sales, and this time he suddenly fell out with the parent company, most likely because of financial or contract disputes......

This was publicized by William Morris, both sides were prepared and restrained, the incident was not too fermented, these media spoke very carefully, even if they were slightly on the side of Motula, they only stopped at guessing in the direction of Song Ya's breach of contract, and the words and sentences were not very inflammatory.

Soon, some friends such as Hallie, Escubber, Walt, Roberto Clevell, etc., called to greet them.

"Telephone, Miss Kelly."

In the early hours of the morning, Song Ya was already a little tired from coping, and Taragi came in with his mobile phone.

"Hey, Mimi, what's the matter at this late hour?" Of course, Mariah Carey called about this, and Song Ya pretended to be okay and smiled, "What did he say to you?" ”

"He said it's your man's business, and I'm not allowed to interfere!" Mariah Kelly snorted as if she had a fight with Motula, "What the hell is wrong with you?" Why is the news saying you're leaving the company? ”

"It's all because of business, there's no personal problem between me and him, we'll take care of it, like he said, it's a man's business, and I believe he's a very chivalrous person like me." Song Ya had no intention of involving her, and if she won Motura, there would be no sense of accomplishment at all.

"Hey, what's the age! There's really no way to do it with your machismo! ”

Mariah Carey asked a few more questions, but Song Ya still refused to say, "Is it really okay?" ”

"It's really fine."

"Okay, you guys have to be good." She hung up.

"Boss, another reporter is here." Vigorously come in and report.

Since the reversal of the Frank case last time, the reporters and paparazzi have reined in a lot, no longer driving to the periphery of the villa as usual and deliberately banging the motorcycle accelerator, "Hey, Mrs. Susie! "There are people who come often, and they are all familiar with the heads," It's really unlucky to be sent by the company so late, do you have coffee?" ”

"Not many people came." After waiting for a while, seeing that the reporters outside were still two or three kittens, Song Ya was relieved.

"It's Halle Berry again." Taraji came here.

"I'm fine, Hallie......" Song Ya picked up the phone, subconsciously thinking that the other party was still here to show concern.

"I've got something!" Hallie was anxious, "John just spoke to me on the phone, he should be looking for you now!" ”

"What John, who is John?" Song Ya was inexplicable.

"John, John Roman!" Halle Berry shouted, "He's angry when he saw our scandal in the newspaper, he should be almost at your door now!" ”

"Oh......" Song Ya remembered the spare tire of the dentist in Chicago at Hallie.

"There's a white guy out there who wants to see you, boss, and he's very excited! Stopped by force. The maid came in and shouted.

"It should be him." Song Ya was afraid of what the other party would say in front of the reporter, "Tell Dali, let him in, old Mike, pay attention to the ...... Hallie, he's already here, is there anything I don't know? ”

"Can you lend me 80,000 dollars first? I should be able to send him away. Harley didn't care about anything else, "I'll pay you back when I get paid." ”

"Okay, okay, eighty thousand knives, right?"

"Well, he probably asked for more than that, and I spent a dozen ...... on him 200,000 yuan, I can't remember the specific amount, but I consulted with a lawyer, and the part of the gift does not need to be returned, only the 80,000 dollars borrowed by the verbal agreement need to be returned, so you only give him 80,000 yuan! ”

"Wow......"
