The matter of clothing OEM, it seems that it is not in a hurry, the more affordable styles that go to the volume are naturally the more produced, the more the cost can be reduced, and the factory that can take orders in Guanghuaguo is not easy to find, plus you have to communicate with the designer about the style, make patterns, send samples back and forth, formal production, and finally spread out sales in the rice market, and I don't know when it will be delayed.

"Anyway, you can't go directly to law school in college, just bachelor's degree in fashion design, does the University of Chicago have this major?" Song Ya muttered in her heart.

"Fergie's first production budget is tentatively set at 1.8 million, and Al's 500,000 will be released in the first half of '93."

In mid-June, he gave up the high-intensity publicity, and the joint promotion of the East and West Coasts and the South was also withdrawn, and he began to turn his attention to company management and music music video shooting, "Common said that his album will not be on the plan until '94. ”

There are more and more singers under it, and the relevant management capabilities have to keep up, such as the current 'deep sea' recording studio, the time that A+ records are not used for external leasing, the rental price for a day is about 1,000 dollars, and the internal price is 800 dollars, without giving some financial pressure, their own singers will definitely tend to dominate this high-level recording studio for personal use at the first opportunity.

Got the news that Becky was going to release his first album, Al suddenly came to Song Ya, saying that he also wanted to release a special, he is now often mixed with Big A, in addition to being a radio guest, the two also go in and out of Chicago's black music circle parties from time to time, and their friends are getting wider and wider, as Remember The Name and Where Is The Love, two rappers who sell singles, everyone still recognizes his status, and there are more and more people who talk to him, so he also collects a lot of songs in private.

According to his design, the first album is, of course, rap, and the main feature is his old profession: hip-hop ventriloquist (beat-box), which is not popular now, and Dion Wilson, Dile, Yeremov and others are not optimistic. Song Ya didn't have a song for him, after all, the apocalypse song, Song Ya who he could sing must be able to sing it himself, but after all, he is an old brother, and he is a contracted singer, since he proposed to make his first album, Song Ya still has to help, and the 500,000 production fee should be given to an explanation.

Dion Wilson will be the main producer of Ferge's albums, and he will help Fergie record five rap singles, which he will mix and arrange with the scores he has received, plus some old songs that he has bought the rights to sample.

Song Ya tentatively decided on the producer of two songs, i hate u i love u girl solo version, and London Bridge that has not been taken out.

Delay has two or three songs, and he is in charge of the direction of the pop, again with the collected tunes or the tunes he composed himself.

Roberto Clevell and David Cole's C+C Music Factory provides a friendship production that is also a pop song.

In terms of lyrics, Phiggie herself will also write some lyrics, and then Dion Wilson and Song Ya and others will help revise and polish, white girls sing hip-hop, many things such as street life, gangs, violence, etc. cannot be involved, Beckie's life experience is not enough, the lyrics are generally 'I am the most eye-catching girl at the prom', 'The old lady makes a phone call, and Pudara will deliver clothes to the door' and other consumerist boasts about parties, carnivals and the luxury life of celebrities.

In fact, rappers basically sing this, which is much more 'healthy' than the guns, drugs, and women that are full of guns in the songs of male singers.

Since Song Ya promised to send out a birthday gift in March next year, Fei Ji is going to start getting busy now.

Fei Ji, who ate the reassuring pill, naturally 'thanked her a thousand thanks', but Song Ya encountered some trouble here.

"It's just the right to sample, are they so big open?"

Song Ya secretly went to the copyright unit to retrieve the melody of London Bridge, and released this song to sample Down to The Nightclub of Tower of Power in the early seventies (the following apocalypse song sampling rights will not be repeated, and it will be done by default). Now APLUS is different from the past, I heard that the group that sold the sampling rights to A+ records before, and then Song Ya produced the Grammy single of the year Empire State Of Mind, regretted that their intestines were blue, and now when the outside copyright owners heard that Song Ya wanted to buy the sampling rights, they all had the idea of knocking on a hard stroke, for fear of being missed again.

"Didn't you say it was for Fergie?" He asked DeLay.

"Having said that, the quotation received by Dion Wilson to buy the sample is very fair, but almost all copyright owners have added a clause that once it is used in your single or adapted by you, the quotation must be greatly increased, and it must also participate in the follow-up sales share."

Delay was also a little helpless, "The track management of this song is Warner Music, and we can't take advantage of the loopholes." ”

"Then you tell them I don't need that song anymore, I'm not in a hurry anyway."

Ferge's album will not be released until March next year, and it will be too late to get the sampling rights before the end of this year.

"Do you think a company as big as Warner Music would be in a hurry?" DeLay smiled wryly.

Song Ya thought for a while, "Ignore them first, and then I'll think of a way." "After giving Fergie two strong orders, he won't give the other party any sales share.

"Okay." Delay went out, and Cassidi walked in with her coffee.

"You don't have to do that."

Song Ya looked at Cassidy, who was dressed as an office girl and was doing a summer job on A+ Records, and said with a smile: "Do you want to appear in Beautiful Girls?" If you want to, I'm going to start dancing with Anne Fletcher. ”

"No, I can't dance."

Cassidy naturally sat in his arms and put her arms around his neck, "It's enough for me to know in my heart that you wrote that song to me." ”

"Good." Song Ya is very satisfied, although the good girl is a little cautious, she is still very well-behaved and caring.

"Shall we go to the movies in a few days?" Cassidy affectionately suggested, "I see you were a little absent-minded the last time you watched the Black and White Dragon, right?" ”

"Well, I hate that male protagonist."

"Why?"

"It's a bit of a holiday with him." Song Ya has no affection for the violent man Wesley Streep who hit the woman.

"That's right." Cassidy took out two tickets from her pocket, "Nineteen Batman returns for the premiere, how about we go and see it?" Secretly, not privately? ”

"Nineteen?"

Song Ya knows that teenagers and even some adults in the United States like to watch long-established comic book hero movies, "Maybe not." He flipped through the schedule, "On the 19th, I will probably hold a pre-MV meeting in Los Angeles......"

"Oh."

Cassidy took the ticket back, showing a slight expression of disappointment before squeezing out a smile, "Then forget it, you have your own career." ”

"Okay, why don't you just go to Los Angeles with me? We're looking at Los Angeles. Song Ya's heart softened.

"But I still have a job for the fan organization here......" Cassidy hesitated.

"I'm the boss."

While the two were getting tired, Cassidy knocked on the door and came in, she glanced at Cassidy passing by and reported, "APLUS, Week 7 Billboard Predictions." ”

"You're going to fall off the top spot, aren't you?"

Song Ya knew it when she saw her face, took the magazine and flipped through it, and sure enough, Where Is The Love is expected to fall to third place, by Mariah Carey's Empire? State? Of? Mind? Part II completed the handover as desired, and the two children's Jump Jump stubbornly remained in second place.

"Mr. Motura ......" Song Ya immediately called Motura to inquire about the situation.

"The six-week crown single, it is estimated that the follow-up will continue to hover at a high level, and the annual crown is estimated to be ours!"

Its singers took the top three, and Motura was in a very good mood, "Your album sold four million copies in six weeks!" He laughed: "Big star, you can spend as much as you want!" Go and enjoy what you deserve! ”
