Chapter 510: A Soccer Chick
'A deal that spawns a new Billionaire!' Singer APLUS did it all at the age of nineteen! ’
Song Ya was very comfortable with the large headline on the inside page of Time magazine, and he had just come out of the airport terminal, and Hayden had already sorted out all the reactions of the mainstream media and handed them to him.
"Why are there no billboards and rolling stones, what do they say?" He cares more about the reaction of the music industry.
"Uh......" Hayden's smile froze on his face, "nothing good to say." ”
"Oh?"
"They said you didn't accomplish anything last year." Hayden replied.
Last year's No. 1 Billboard chart belonged to hip-hop music, which was Whoomp of the southern rap group Tag Team!
Ace of Base's All that she wants came in second, and the third and fourth were Mariah Carey's Dreamlover and Hero.
Last year's album sales chart was numbered first by Soundtrack's The Bodyguard, followed by Kelly King's Breathless.
"Oh...... They'll change their tune in the second half of the year. "Song Ya is very confident in the quality of the soundtrack of the movie Dancing My Life.
"Definitely, you're always going to surprise people." Hayden complimented.
The group drove back to Beverly Hills, the car drove to the door of the villa, and as soon as it stopped, Song Ya saw several people playing football on the lawn.
"Pass it, pass it!" The familiar Latin accent of English came to my ears.
"Shakira?" He saw the short girl, happily running around the lawn, and before he got out of the car, a new song, a movie scene flooded into his mind.
i got you, i got you on my mind and it's time to make you see……
The apocalypse hasn't come for a long time, and there was no apocalypse when 100 million was signed, but I didn't expect it to appear in a mediocre scene today.
Some coolly dressed girls happily played football on the beach.
It seems to be from another movie, there was a scene before the apocalypse, when Mira and Ferge were fighting at the airport, accompanied by the Canon Overture, and the three girls were fighting in the bathroom.
"APLUS, HI!" She kicked the ball at her feet and waved it in this direction, "Let's play?" ”
so i'll just make this a little more obvious
'cos i get what i want and i want you to get with me
"Hey, Shakira, why are you here?"
The girl hadn't been in touch with herself for a long time, but she didn't expect to kill Beverly Hills directly this time, "Oh, I see." He saw Gloria and Daniel standing on the edge of the lawn, and her music producer, Ochoa, chatting.
"Are you coming?" She asked.
"No, I won't."
In this era, except for Latinos, football is not very popular in the United States, and boys will be ridiculed by their classmates for playing this sport, and it is to football (American football) what softball is to baseball, and it is generally stereotyped as a sport that girls only play.
"Oh, don't spoil the fun, come on!" She dragged several Latin servants from the villa to play with her.
"No, no."
how far i'm gonna go
you can't stop this feeling
you can't run away
baby i'm what's on your mind
The girl wore a tight vest heating pants, and her body revealed invincible youth and fitness from the inside out, and Song Ya bit her tongue lightly to drive out the dirty thoughts in her head.
"Did you cast any magic on her?" Mr. Estéphine, Gloria's husband and agent of two women, one older and one younger, questioned himself angrily.
"What's wrong?" Song Ya asked humbly.
"She insisted on signing some singers to A+ Records." Daniel unravels the mystery.
"Oh! I see......"
Song Ya suddenly realized, "No wonder Roberto is so angry with me, he even ended all business cooperation with me." ”
"Roberto Clevell?" Estéphine asked.
"Yes."
Song Ya briefly introduced the conflict between Roberto Clevell and himself, "He has long been optimistic about Shakira, just waiting for the contract with Sony Columbia Records to expire this year, but I didn't expect to be robbed of the agency contract by you, and now I have a share in the singer contract......"
"You should have informed me in advance." He complained to Estéphine.
"We don't want to, haha." Daniel laughs: "Sony Columbia Records doesn't usually share artist appointments with other labels, but she insists. ”
"Yes, Miss Shakira trusts you APLUS, and she says it's more comfortable for you to manage some of her singers and ask him out." Gloria said that she has also rejuvenated this year, and her new Latin album has sold very well in Spanish-speaking regions such as Spain and Argentina, and the couple is in a good mood.
"Come in and talk, the lawyer is inside." Daniel said.
"Okay, Goodman!" Song Ya stopped Goodman, who was walking inside with his suitcase.
"APLUS, WAIT." Shakira sped over with a soccer ball in her hand, tilting her head and passing on a message for a one-man conversation.
"Go in first." Song Ya stayed alone.
The girl still had dyed blonde hair, the tips of which were wet with sweat sticking to her forehead, and she looked crazy for a while.
"You should discuss this decision with me first." Song Ya smiled at her.
"I don't want Sony Columbia Records to be in complete control of me." She looked around carefully before replying, "The cooperation with the South American branch was not pleasant before, you know, now that Mr. Estéphen has asked me to become a potential head office in the United States, I am still not very reassured." ”
"What are you going to do?" Song Ya asked.
"You help me." She threw the football into Song Ya's hands, "I don't have anyone I can trust here." ”
"You trust me?" Song Ya asked again.
"OF COURSE, YOU CAN BE TRUSTED, YOU ARE A GOOD PERSON APLUS." She said generously: "Regardless of your absurdity, you are still a good person." ”
Well, being issued, "I know what to do, how much?" ”
"Twenty percent, you're going to have twenty percent of me." She replied.
"Isn't it 100 percent?" Song Ya didn't control her mouth, and her mouth was spent.
Her smile faded, her expression suddenly became a little sad, and she said sadly: "Don't tease me anymore APLUS, you have a girlfriend." ”
you can't stop this feeling
there's no escape
no sleep tonight!
"Haha, I'm kidding, I'm sorry, don't take it to heart."
Song Ya fled back to the villa, and when she walked to the door, she found a football in her hand, so she had to use a long pass of a rugby ball to throw it to the nearby servant.
"A+ Records and Sony Columbia Records share Shakira's singer contract, and you make up 20 percent."
Daniel asked the lawyer to take out the prepared documents and "bear the proportional cost and benefit of sending the song for her." ”
It's not uncommon for the recording industry to share a singer's contract, but large companies generally don't sign this kind of contract with other small labels, and in addition to Shakira's own insistence, Daniel's willingness to give the green light all the way is also important.
Daniel doesn't mind helping out now, after all, Shakira is just a newcomer to Latin who only sold 3,000 records in his first two albums.
"I agree."
Song Ya asked Goodman to sign the contract directly after reviewing it, and Estéphine, who had her brokerage contract, was also willing to do so, which means that she also signed it happily.
"APLUS, COME."
Daniel called him upstairs to his study, "You've done a good job, this deal will help us win over the Gloria couple, who are the same as the Latina gang on Sony Columbia Records." ”
"I didn't do anything, I didn't even know it, it was her ......," Song Ya said as she looked at the girl who continued to run happily on the lawn.
"You did it." Daniel is a pun.
"Uh, well, I'll admit it......" Song Yalao blushed.
"Don't think I'm blaming you, just like those agencies don't mind their agents hooking up with artists or artists' families, it's not bad to have a stallion to help me entrap female singers, Motura puts a lot of pressure on me within the company, and it's important for me to fight for every bit of support." Daniel said bluntly.
"I'm not sorry for Mimi." Song Ya said.
"Of course, Miss Kelly is the most important thing, continue to maintain APLUS, don't capsize." Daniel blinked, "You're a billionaire now, and this word has a fatal attraction in the United States, especially for women." ”
"The world of capital?"
"The world of capitalists."
