"In the public school I used to study, the guy who was beaten by the group would often grab a dead hand and fight back, so that he would not be seen as a bad breed in the future, and he could make the other party bullying the next time, and maybe Motura had a similar idea."

The media has always had no lower limit, and if there are big companies behind it, the smear target is clear, the black material spreads rapidly, and then the rumors are spread to gain attention, gossip and rumors, eat melons, and beat the water dogs...... It's going to be a media binge right away.

Song Ya put himself in his shoes, a little shuddering, his energy is far inferior to Mariah Carey and Vanilla Ice, if he is also done like this, the damage will inevitably be greater.

"Maybe."

Hayden also understood Song Ya's thoughts, "If it were you, this kind of intensity of smearing would not be able to cope with us William Morris alone." ”

"Of course, you are very careful, and that is what we can most assured," he said matter-of-factly. And vanilla ice has a big disadvantage, he is white, he used to have a good personal image, black DJs have no way to speak, as soon as this incident comes out, it is estimated that black DJs will no longer be polite to him, after all, he is a white man who raps. ”

"yes......"

Song Yacai won't pity Vanilla Bing, that guy is really stupid, he has only been popular for a year and started selling autobiographies, just sell it, and make it up, is it inflated or inflated?

"It's estimated that this matter will ferment for a while, so we just need to keep an eye on it, and just learn from the public relations methods on both sides. Let's go, let's go about our own business. ”

It's okay today, just went to Tribeca to see the property.

"Mr. Aplus, this penthouse is in a good location, you see ......"

After nearly seven hours of walking around Tribeca with Song Ya and Hayden, the real estate agent was still full of energy, he pushed open the window and worked hard to sell the unit, "The park is in front, buy here, the roof is also yours, the previous owner has obtained permission to renovate it, you can renovate it into a garden, a party venue or a helipad or something, you like." ”

"Well, in general."

Song Ya pretended not to be interested, and looked at his watch again, "That's all for today, if you are interested, I will let Hayden contact you again." ”

The two said goodbye to the disappointed real estate agent and sat back in the car to discuss.

Song Ya prefers this penthouse, which has five bedrooms, an exclusive open-air rooftop and an elevator, is located next to the park, and is within walking distance of Soho Street and Chinatown.

Two other places also came into his sights, one on the top four floors of an old five-story apartment building down the street, with twelve units, all owned by the same owner, not far from Wall Street, all rented to white-collar workers who worked on Wall Street. There is also an abandoned warehouse by the Hudson River, which is very troublesome, not only is the land extremely expensive, but also has to sign a contract with New York City for the development of high-rise buildings, and the project will be repossessed by the government if it does not start for a certain period of time.

"So, have you thought it through?" Hayden also wanted to persuade again, "The prospect of investing this money in Long Island or the Upper West Side should be better, this was a former industrial area, and depending on the speed of renovation, it is difficult for housing prices to increase in the short term." ”

"Almost, forget about that warehouse, I don't think I can play it without a net worth of tens of millions."

After all, it is the place where the lyrics are sung, although Song Ya does not dare to gamble, but the other two investments seem to be very safe, "You can help me ask the price for the remaining two units, the priority of the penthouse just now is higher, but be careful not to let the other party know my tendency." ”

&Hename has been at the top of the Billboard chart for three weeks in a row, EmpireStateofMind's upward momentum is also amazing, sales plus licensing is expected to be a big number, and the other two singles are still providing income, if he used to hear the jingle of the cash register every time he received a sum of money, he is afraid that a symphony is playing in his ears now.

Why can McHammer make 20 million in a year with an album, singers in this era are too profitable, but the premise is that they have the same production company as themselves and McHammer, and can get most of the revenue from the songs.

Other singers who are signed in record companies are definitely not good, purely relying on record sales shares, the highest in the industry is MJ, which is only 20 percent, and most singers can only get 10 percent or even 5 percent.

Of course, these singers have a huge signing fee in addition to commercial performances, and MJ is not even suitable for inclusion in the calculation of singers, he not only has his own production company, but also has a huge ATV copyright library, a slightly smaller personal copyright library, and the relationship with Sony Columbia is more similar to a partner than a signed singer.

“mchammer……”

Hayden and he now have a faint heart-to-heart connection, Song Ya just thought of this name in his mind, and Hayden said it, "He brought the trend of flying squirrel pants and made a lot of money from that, you know?" ”

"Really?"

Song Ya really didn't know, he had only heard of McHammer's rap music that inspired Xiangjiang's Shubai Olive and Book to a certain extent.

"Your pants are also well received in the fashion industry, and many clothing brands want to co-brand with you."

Hayden asked, "Do you want to pick one to work with?" However, there are no first-line brands to contact me yet, but I suggest that it is still fast, the copyright of clothing is difficult to explain, and others can avoid it by changing it slightly, and it is estimated that there will be imitation versions on the market soon. ”

"Why didn't I think of this ......"

Song Yaxin said that he made a mistake, he didn't think much about clothing, he just liked the pants and put them on stage, but he didn't expect that this was also a way to make money.

"It's a pity that except for the 'trumpet', the characters in several Apocalypse Music MVs are not very fashionable......" he secretly regretted in his heart.

Leaving the house and the pants to be co-branded, Hayden returned to school in Chicago to complete his exams, and produced the final official version of showmethemoney and the near-finished version of 'Trumpet', and piggyback represented the school in a youth squash tournament, where he finished fourth with a total of eight participants.

On May 25, his RememberTheName finally dropped off the top of the singles chart, and it was Mariah Carey's idon'twannacry that squeezed it out.

"I'm sorry, the food seller." Mariah Carey triumphantly called over to show off.

Her mood completely improved, Motula's counterattack seemed to be working, and the outside world's attacks on her gradually subsided, and they all turned their attention to Vanilla Ice. However, it was still cheaper for the pit girl's sister, and after getting a large amount of hush money from her, she finally disappeared in front of the mass media and enjoyed life.

"You're Diva, I'm B-List, there's nothing to be happy about winning me, right?" Song Ya smiled and sneered, "The song that reached the top is still from your last album, hasn't the second album made any effort yet?" ”

There was silence on the other end of the microphone.

"How?" Song Ya realized that she had said the wrong thing, "Is there a problem with the announcement of the second specialty?" ”

"Humph......"

Mariah Carey snorted dissatisfied, "The sales momentum is not very good. ”

"Don't care, it'll be fine, just like your first specialty, it won't be completely effective until after the Grammys, I estimate that the situation of the second major is similar, as long as you seize the opportunity, sales will improve."

Song Ya comforted her.

Mariah Carey's second album is too showy, and Song Ya complained a lot when they recorded EmpireStateofMind together, and he couldn't help but be glad that she chose to insist on recording according to her own ideas, and didn't let her use that kind of extremely difficult dazzling singing method in the chorus again.

The two chatted for a while, Song Ya hung up the phone and turned on the TV, paying attention to the latest developments in the vanilla ice incident.

Vanilla Bing's crisis PR was also swift, and yesterday he took the initiative to sincerely apologize to the public in front of the camera lens, and then said that he would stop the sale of the memoir, and justified and clarified the discrepancies between the memoirs and the facts.

Let's look at this paragraph. ’

Or the little TV station owned by CBS, the host replayed Vanilla Ice's explanation of his Iceicebaby sampled Queen song Underpressure, 'He said he got permission from the copyright owner, so let's recap......

The TV station didn't know where to get the first version of Iceicebaby the year before Vanilla Bing, who had not yet been discovered by Daniel, and released an album containing the song on a small record label, which was a very unsuccessful publicity and sales failure, and barely made any impression on the outside world.

Almost exactly the same as Daniel's discovery of the second-hand store, he discovered the potential of the song Vanilla Ice, signed him into SBK, and then remade the album and repackaged it, with Daniel's invincible publicity ability, it was only then that the huge success of the Iceicebaby and 'Extreme' albums was achieved.

And the time to buy the sampling rights from the Underpressure copyright owner was after he signed the SBK, that is, when the first version of Iceicebaby was released, the song must have been infringed.

In fact, it's nothing, a small record company, and a rapper, because of economic problems, it is common to sample other people's music but not buy a sampling license, not because I don't want to buy it, but because I really can't afford it, which is understandable to a certain extent, and later SBK also made up for it.

But the key point is not actually copyright, but Vanilla Bing's apology statement about lying again......

This mistake was fatal, and Motura could not have let it go. I want to talk about "Chicago 1990" with more like-minded people, "Chat with more book friends about your favorite books."
