Chapter 368: Daniel's Dilemma

"Let's talk about the C round later."

David Geffen didn't haggle with him like a child anymore and changed the subject: "Your Where Is The Love star chorus is over?" ”

"Well, it's over, it's basically all singers under Sony Columbia Records, and the degree of cooperation is very high." Song Ya knew it was time to say goodbye, and chatted with him about his record, and was about to get up, but David Geffen's unintentional remark that 'Daniel didn't win you back then, and you may regret it for the rest of your life in the future' caught his attention.

"Why? Is Mr. Daniel Glass in trouble? ”

He asked. Daniel, as his nobleman, is now the president of EMI Beimi, a high-ranking position, at the beginning of the year led the acquisition of Viking records worth a total of one billion dollars, and was just named one of the best executives under the age of 40 in the United States not long ago, even if he misses himself, it should not be a lifelong regret, right?

David Geffen is not obliged to give him popular science, "You can inquire yourself, it's not difficult." ”

Song Ya said goodbye and left, and soon asked William Morris to inquire about the situation.

After Daniel won Viking Records at the beginning of the year, he ambitiously set out to re-spin and integrate all of EMI's labels in Beimi to improve efficiency, but unfortunately, those old giants of EMI Beimi, such as Capitol Records and Viking Beimi, did not buy his account at all. In order to force the whole plan, he confidently spun off companies with strong control, such as SBK Records and Caroline Distribution, which caused all the executives of his cronies to leave Germany, but failed to move the executives of the old giants......

So Daniel is really in a bad situation now, he suddenly lost control of his subordinate labels, and offended the basic plate and followers, the position of president of Baidai Beimi and even the entire Baidai Beimi company has a tendency to be hollowed out, and the small label was dismantled by him into the big label, and the executives of the big label bypassed him and ran to communicate directly with the British head office.

"Now there is a joke in the industry that after Daniel sacrificed the SBK records he made himself, he suddenly found that he was left with nothing, so he planned to sacrifice Momoyo Beimi altogether."

Hayden said: "SBK Records is no longer possible to produce singers like Vanilla Ice and Wilson and Williams sisters, according to Daniel's original plan, SBK Records will end its mission in '95 and merge with other labels, but now it is rumored that in '95, it is difficult to say whether EMI Beimi can exist." ”

"He's a smart guy, why did he make things like this?"

Song Ya was puzzled, he had an instinctive admiration for Daniel, after all, the few chats with Daniel after the first time crossing had too much influence on him.

"Actually, it's very simple, he lost the internal political battle with the president of Capitol Records, and he was halfway through the process, and suddenly lost the support of the British head office, and the Vanilla Ice, the Wilson and Phillips sisters, Paula Abbadu, the three mountains of sales were all over one after another, and he couldn't escape the blame for this." Hayden replied.

"Didn't you just say that Viking North didn't buy his account? How to sign Paula in the Viking bad luck is counted on his head again. Song Ya asked.

Hayden smiled, "This is the problem of the title of president of the North Mi branch, there must be his share in the unfortunate things, and those label executives will run out to grab the credit when they have results." ”

"So how did he get named the best executive?"

"If he dismantles it like this, at least this year's financial statements will look good."

Song Ya stopped talking, Daniel's dynamics must continue to be tracked, he is the only executive in the circle who has a good relationship and is qualified enough to beat Motura.

Hayden also brought some information about Sony Columbia Records' internal executives as he requested, basically Motula's enemies within the company have been gradually cleaned up by him, and according to Takaki, he will have more power in the company next year.

Now only MJ's Epic Records management doesn't buy his account much, and there is a Newman, who is the manager of NAS, and has had a few small feuds with him.

However, MJ must have a lot of friends inside Sony Columbia Records, and Song Ya remembers the day Motura was angry at the content of the music video, and the group of gloating executives he saw outside his office door, but unfortunately he didn't bother to identify who it was at the time.

"Anything else?" Hayden saw that he had been silent.

Song Ya glanced at him, if he changed the agent for Mariah Carey, I'm afraid this guy won't be able to do it, Donovan? Consider......

Song Ya even considered William Morris's rival CAA, William Morris's impression of himself is really average, they are still being hung up and beaten by CAA in Hollywood, and there is no sign of turning over as Goodman said.

In short, no agent would refuse to represent a DIVA, but there is no way to be sure that the other party will be able to withstand Motula's coercion and temptation.

Ferge's agent Jimmy reminded himself that the agent is an extremely important position, and it is the most deeply bound to the interests of the employer, that is, Mariah Carey, at the beginning, because she is the introducer, Mariah Carey is willing to listen to herself, and the tacit relationship between the two parties may be very close. But after she starts to turn around with Motula, her agent will definitely have to consider the practical interests, and maybe then she will be like Jimmy and make choices that do not meet her expectations.

"It's okay." Song Ya pursed her lips.

"Okay, then I'm going to get busy, New York City also wants to invite you and Miss Kelly to Times Square for New Year's Eve." Hayden got up and said goodbye, "I've also been contacted by some advertisers. ”

As soon as the song Empire State Of Mind came out, the New York City government became an ATM for the two, withdrawing a million dollars a year, which was very stable.

"Oh, yes." Song Ya put her arm around his shoulder, "I heard that you will be promoted to senior partner by William Morris next year?" ”

"Yes." Hayden grinned uncontrollably, "It's all APLUS that you brought me, and I was just a small role in the Chicago office when we first met in '90, just over two years. ”

"At that time, I was a poor boy, how much commission did you get for my first income?" Song Ya hugged him and walked to the garage.

"Five hundred dollars, I remember it very well."

"Haha, you're still driving that Dodge?" Song Ya pointed to a new white Buick Boulevard in the garage, the highest-spec version with supercharging, "It's time to throw it away, look there, I gave you, a promotion gift." ”

"Wow." Hayden was moved, "Thank you APLUS, I really, really ......" He went around the car and choked up a little.

"Come on, you can afford to buy a better one yourself, it's nothing to you anymore, they always laugh at me for being Black Grande, but I feel like you're more slamming than I am."

Song Ya took out the car keys from his pocket and threw them to him, "Go try it, I only know that you don't like foreign cars." ”

After spending a little money to deepen his relationship with Hayden, he goes back and asks Tarragi to get Daniel's phone number.

I was stunned for a while at the landline, and finally decided to call out, but just pressed a few buttons and dropped the microphone again.

It's still too early.

He plans to wait for MJ to finish the first phase of his dangerous journey around the world and go to Neverland to find out the wind in person, Takaki said that MJ is dissatisfied with the sales of the new album, which is a good topic to cut into.

"What's wrong with you?"

Amy Adams came, and the bird snuggled into his arms.

"Nothing, by the way, is your agent still Jimmy?" Song Ya asked, "Did he get a new job for you?" ”

"Yes." She counted on her fingers excitedly, "The few days you went to New York, I filmed a TV commercial in Los Angeles, detergent, I played my daughter, there was ...... Probably a shot or two. There are also print ads for Target, whose family is going to open 10 Greatland stores in Chicago next year. ”

"Then this Jimmy is quite capable......"

Song Ya was a little surprised, "Did he plan a career route for you?" ”

"He gave me some addresses and phone numbers for the temporary acting class, but I didn't sign up." The girl laughed sheepishly.

"Then why don't you go?" Song Ya asked.

"I'll talk about it later, I want to accompany you here, it's just the two of us here, and you don't go out much." She said.

"Hmmm......"

Song Ya hugged her and didn't speak again, her mood was a little complicated.
