Chapter 205: Perfect Knight
"Hallie, John was sent away by me."
After an unpleasant and awkward tear, Song Ya dials Halle Berry.
"Thank you." A sobbing voice came from the microphone, "I'll pay you back as soon as possible." ”
Song Ya rolled her eyes, "Will there be anyone else?" The timing is not good, I still have a reporter at the door, the words of a white dentist are much more credible than those of a hip-hop singer, and fortunately John Roman is not sensitive to entertainment news. ”
"No ......"
"Why do you owe him so much money? You're the best black actress in Hollywood, right? Except for Whoopi Gothenburg. ”
"I ...... Unconsciously ...... In Hollywood, I want to maintain the quality of life of second-tier actresses, where to live, clothes to go out on the street, and hire assistant stylists or something, I ...... I can't stand the ridicule of those gossip tabloids for my embarrassing life, they are too snobbish. ”
"You're not a veteran second-tier, as a newcomer, you're a clothes rack, and you're a little ...... Forget it, the matter is settled, and it won't happen again, right? ”
"No, I promise."
"Okay, I'm a little tired too, bye-bye."
"Bye-bye, thank you APLUS, really, I'm willing to do anything for you......"
Song Ya hung up the phone, "Does she know that you paid 150,000 dollars?" Taragi was slightly upset, "Although the dentist was quite pitiful just now, now is the time when you need to make the most of every penny in your hand." ”
"An unconscious spare tire is not worthy of sympathy, forget about this little turmoil, we have more important things to worry about."
Song Ya shoved her phone into her hand, "I'll go to sleep, let Hayden and them continue to come over for a meeting tomorrow." ”
"Chivalry?" Tarragi quipped.
"Perfect Knight! Also, don't eavesdrop on my phone calls, Tarraghi. Song Ya went back to her room and rested for the night, and the next day, the meeting continued.
"Samur suggested that I show my potential to the outside world in order to increase the confidence of potential buyers, what do you recommend?" Song Ya asked.
"It's simple, don't you have a new symphony?" Yeremov came up with an idea, "This is the best way to show your talent, right?" Symphony, that's all the score of the whole orchestra, it's all done by yourself......"
"I haven't finished arranging yet, this kind of thing has to be slowly run in with the orchestra...... "Apocalypse plugs up to the song and gives the MV but not the score, Song Ya has to do everything by himself, although the symphony of Game of Thrones is very short, only one minute and fifty seconds, but the arrangement and on-site restoration are a big project, except for the trumpet, he can't play other instruments.
"Then slowly run in, don't you have an orchestra in your school? They'll be happy to cooperate, right? Hayden asked.
"But how do you coordinate the timing? I still have to run around......"
"You're just running around to make a little money, and dealing with disputes with Sony Columbia Records is a big business of tens of millions, don't put the cart before the horse."
Goodman warned: "It's not good for you to go to a nightclub like that, although the security is very tight, but once there is an accident, it will be troublesome to be used by Motura to play a little bit, fights, guns, drugs, and rappers who come to touch porcelain, and the public has a stereotype of hip-hop singers, even if you don't do your business, but the damage is caused first." Not to mention that Motura may find someone to block you from finding fault, just like what happened to little Lowry before. ”
"emmmm......" Song Ya looked at Song Asheng, "If I stop walking, will the money be enough until November?" ”
"Enough is enough, we still have stocks to pledge, there is no problem with lending two million, but nothing can happen in the middle." Song Asheng calculated for a while, "The special account on the side of Coopers can't be short of money for a moment, as well as the monthly mortgage ...... of the Bank of China."
"Motura will continue to look for trouble, he will not stop." Hayden reminded.
'What do you guys think about APLUS's recent conflict with the record label?' ’
In a gossip chatter show, several guests talked about Song Ya's affairs, "I think APLUS's previous character design was a little too perfect, and now it's just being beaten back to its original shape......" A middle-aged white man talked eloquently, "He is just an ordinary seventeen-year-old or sixteen-year-old child who once became rich, like other stars, after becoming famous, he began to spend money lavishly, playing big names, no one in the record company can control it, and it is a natural result that this situation has evolved to this day, there are many examples in history, right?" ”
"He's not an ordinary young singer, he's a genius, haven't you read the reports? The total sales of his singles have reached nearly 10 million......" a black woman retorted.
"Who said nearly 10 million? There is no factual support for this statement, RIAA (Recording Industry Association of the United States) certification, second-hand store triple platinum, to Deklerk double platinum, I Feel It Coming single platinum, and there is no data for the rest. ”
"There is a lag in the certification of the RIAA, I think we have all seen the hot scenes of his singles lined up in video stores, I Feel It Coming is already a single platinum, you must know that the song Remember The Name is even more popular, and the four-time Billboard Week champion ......"
"That's all marketing hype, we still use data to speak, the data is APLUS's total career sales of six million, of which five million are not sung by himself, and he didn't cover all the lyrics in second-hand stores."
"Hah! The inside story of the copyright of the lyrics of the second-hand store is known throughout the country, and APLUS is the victim. ”
"I don't know, I only know the results I found from the copyright information database, and the lyrics of him and Lori Jr. are half copyrighted."
Hayden turned off the TV, "Motula has withdrawn all the platinum applications for your songs, and the RIAA database about you is not being updated......"
“FXXK! This bastard! ”
Song Ya knew that this kind of data was submitted by the record company, and how many records she sold, as long as they made a hindrance from it, she didn't even think about the relevant honors on the RIAA side, "This trick is disgusting." ”
"Yes, record sales are a very important indicator for the outside world to get their mouths, and the RIAA data is very authoritative, whether you declare sales on your own or through other channels, you can't change the opinion of the general public."
Hayden said, "You'll have to be careful that Motura goes to pick up little Lori, or asks Mira to come out and say something, you're going to feel even more disgusting." I remind you that the second single of Lowry Jr.'s new album is about to be released. ”
"Wouldn't it? He's not going to do that, is he? Song Ya's expression froze, "If he really did that, I would never stay at Sony Columbia Records again, even if he begged me to go back." ”
"Don't you make a knight's covenant or something?" Taragi smiled at the door and said, "A one-sided good guy will be very hard." ”
"I've decided, go back to school first, Hayden, accompany me to meet the principal and the music teacher, don't go to the hole, I'm going to make that symphony!"
Song Ya and Hayden returned to school, and the principal and music teacher naturally welcomed his request.
"Wow, it's hard to imagine what it would be like if we played our students' original symphonic passages in an inter-school performance." The music teacher said wistfully, she directly brought Song Ya back to the orchestra, and excitedly announced in public: "Everyone, let's welcome APLUS back!" We're going to rehearse a new one, no! A new symphony! ”
All the students applauded politely.
"Hi ......" Song Ya raised her hand to greet them, and when her eyes moved to the good girl Cassity, she smiled at her deliberately.
The girl next to Cassidy immediately cast a complicated look at her.
She hugged the violin in her hand tightly, and happily made a 'hi' mouth gesture to Song Ya.
"Okay, let's get started, APLUS has a limited amount of time!"
The music teacher was so enthusiastic that she personally went down to take charge of the most important cello part, and Song Ya promised him that he would give her the title of artistic director after the symphony was officially released.
Everything has to start all over again, Song Ya roughly prepared some scores for violin and cello, and the rest needs to be slowly adjusted and added, and finally there is a vocal chorus part, and the music teacher promised to bring in the school choir at that time.
The first day of rehearsals was basically spent two hours in the chaos of changing seats, and the school could not restrict the children from working overtime to rehearse outside of club activities, so that's it.
When the teacher announced that the rehearsal was over, the principal violinist who had laughed at Cassiti came up, and the girl kept asking some technical questions and leaned lightly on Song Ya's arm, "Here, here, it should be handled...... Oh! ”
She suddenly clutched her head and shouted.
"I'm sorry." Cassidi pointed to the beautiful case on her back, as if she had turned around, and the case had slammed into her head.
"Hmph." She couldn't have a seizure, and Cassidy took the opportunity to beckon to Song Ya, "See you tomorrow, bye." ”
"Bye."
When Song Ya saw the piano case, she thought of the other party's father again......
Back home, what Hayden had feared during the day seemed to come true, and the infamous little Lowry disappeared for a while, and he really made a second single.
Hayden stuffed the tape into the machine, "He sent it directly through underground channels, and the MV was released simultaneously, you have to be mentally prepared." ”
The background melody is so simple that it is a little rough, and it is nothing but a strong rhythm, much inferior to his first single, but the lyrics are very powerful, 'YO...... Those who have questioned me, my former brothers and enemies, here's what I have to say to you......
Very 'classic' DISS song opening line, with the basketball court and the song title 'I'm going to say' in the picture.
Little Lowry was wearing dreadlocks, holding a basketball, and performing fancy dribbling skills, and a black man who looked a little like Song Ya made very obscene movements and expressions, walked up to him, bent down and took a defensive pose.
The corners of Song Ya's mouth curled, "Angry?" ”
And then there's the action clip of Lori Jr. repeatedly shaking down that 'pseudo-APLUS'.
'My master of this course, I am invincible, look! The bastard fell to his knees at my feet, gnawing on the mud in the ground......
Pseudo-APLUS was shaken down again, then lay on the ground and never got up again, first stuck out his tongue and licked the concrete floor of the court, then wiped his eyes with both hands, and kept kicking his feet, making the kind of 'trick' that only a three-year-old child would do.
'I comforted you weeping, I gave you a copy of Franklin (the figure on a hundred knives)," little Lowry pulled out a green bill from his pocket and threw it on the ground.
Pseudo APLUS picked up the money, his eyes lit up, and he took the money in front of him and kept looking at it, saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth.
“FXXK!”
Song Ya couldn't stand it anymore and turned off the video, "Is Motura involved?" ”
"It's not clear yet, but you should notice that the production company for Lowry Jr.'s single was changed from Atlantic Records to an unknown company called 33 Block Records, but the distribution company is still Warner Records, the distributor of Atlantic Records."
"Give me your phone."
Song Ya asked for a cell phone from Taragi and dialed the Motura office directly.
"You've crossed the line! Motula! After Motula's voice came from the earpiece, he shouted directly: "I thought it was a man's battle!" You shouldn't do that! Hit me with little Lori? Are you out of the picture!? ”
“FXXKYOU!”
Motura cursed a rare swearing, "Don't be crazy boy, I won't go to find some little Lori, I can kill you directly, above board!" I've heard Mimi relay your words, is the battle between knights right? I'll give you the battle between the knights! And guess what, get ready to get back to me, get down on your knees and kiss my ring! ”
'Smack! He hung up the phone with that.
"Not Motula." Song Ya breathed a sigh of relief, he was not happy to see Xiao Luorui make a comeback.
"Then there's no need to worry, right? Little Lowry's DISS can't make waves without a pusher. Hayden dialed another number, connected and handed it to Songya," Steven. ”
"Hey, Steven, you have to take care of little Lowry's mad dog, don't let him out and bite people!" Song Ya was too lazy to be polite to the people of Atlantic Records, although he had a good personal relationship with Steven.
"Don't be angry APLUS, we sent little Lowry to a small record label, and he can't be a threat to you." Steven responded.
