Palm was only established in January this year, and the founder Jeffrey Hawkins and DTS's Terry Beard are both engineers, but this Jeffrey Hawkins has worked at Intel and has a wide range of contacts, and has successively pulled several angel investments totaling more than one million, and the company's valuation is about five million dollars.

"I bought a house in Highland Park, I don't have much money to spare now, you first have preliminary contact with Palm, find out the situation of the other company, and wait for Sony Columbia Records to settle the next record revenue at the beginning of next year, and then I will decide whether to enter the market."

The angel round didn't catch up, and if the A round entered, it would have to pay some money, Song Ya explained to Delai, "Let's concentrate on shooting the MV in front of us first." ”

The MV script of Where Is The Love has been polished for a long time, with the CBS TV broadcast version of Zhuyu in front, and Song Ya doesn't like the way the original MV is performed, so the overall structure of the TV broadcast version is completely retained, but it will be shot more exquisitely, and then the interspersed news pictures can't be replaced by CBS's, and can only be replaced with BET TV's poor materials.

"123, jump!"

After about a week of studio and exterior shooting, inside the Beverly Hills mansion, everyone was working on the last set of shots, which was Song Ya's temporary fluorescent party shooting. He has recently been more low-key in Los Angeles, basically not going out, and going to the Columbia set to shoot the MV.

In the strong music and the bright and dim laser lights, Song Ya and other lead singers and Amy Adams and some beautiful girls hired began to twist their bodies, and their hands and faces were smeared with Bath Chemical, which is now called the fluorescent agent produced by Barn Company, and the whole picture was about ten seconds in the MV, and it only took about half an hour for director Larry to announce that this period was over after the official start of filming.

He also invited Xue Linfen to make a cameo under the pretext of filming a MV, but the other party is now concentrating on a lawsuit with her ex-boyfriend, and politely refused, Goodman also submitted testimony to the court on behalf of herself, if nothing else, she can get a restraining order against her ex-boyfriend very smoothly, and if the other party harasses her again in the future, she will be imprisoned.

Jennifer Lynch no longer fights with him in the media, Xue Linfen's ex-boyfriend has a lot of drama, and when he was interviewed by reporters outside the courtroom, he claimed that he had begun to prepare to publish a book to expose his relationship with Xue Linfen and the truth of the incident of being beaten by APLUS, and he didn't want the last bottom line for money.

Song Ya is ready to wait for his book to come out before suing him for bankruptcy.

Brother Tony, as the discoverer of 'creativity', also got a one-man show, basically Song Ya translated a similar passage from I Gotta Feeling, he was riding a bicycle, and there was a fluorescent metal can with the Barn logo on the back seat, and the prop master made a hole in the lower part of the can, leaving a thin green line on the ground as he rode, and then he rode behind the three girls, reached out and patted one of them on the neck, which took up about five seconds in the music video.

"There's a bit of an advertisement in this section." The producers of Sony Columbia Records quickly discovered this.

Somewhat? Chi Guoguo's okay, "Hehe, do me a favor, my company is losing money." Song Ya smiled at him.

"IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL, APLUS, YOU THINK IT'S OKAY FOR ME." The other party is very talkative, "It's your MV anyway, and then you give half of the money." He said.

"By the way, how much did you spend on the eight million publicity expenses?" Song Ya asked.

"Probably early next year, the promotion of your music video will be spent, and your four million will be deducted from the settlement at the end of the year, and you can discuss the publicity and distribution expenses with Mr. Motura after that." He replied.

"So fast?" Song Ya was a little painful.

"How many records have you sold? Do the math, it's worth it. "And this is your first order, it has to be an instant hit, MJ has spent 20 million on his side, and if he hadn't toured the world, I'm afraid it would have cost even more now." ”

"That's MJ, how can I compare." Song Ya said with a smile.

"Don't be so unconfident."

He whispered, "Your debut album will probably be the fourth best-selling album in '92 according to the RIAA, behind only the albums of Gasbrooks, MJ and Nirvana, and ahead of Billy Recellus and U2." ”

"Wow." Song Ya knows that this is usually a result that only superstars can get, although the statistical accuracy of the RIAA has always been criticized by the outside world.

"By the way, Miss Mariah Kelly came to Los Angeles on the 28th for a commercial performance, and you will go too, right?" He asked.

"Yes."

It's not good to sing Empire State Of Mind in Los Angeles, and the two have a lot of trouble getting into the same commercial show.

"You and she need to be careful." The other party suddenly came to say this.

"How?" Song Ya's heart tightened, and she didn't feel like she was referring to that aspect of things.

"Some of the complaints of the commercial performance organizers have reached the media, saying that you and she are now more and more fond of playing big names, and they are asking for bigger, more private dressing rooms, and they have to be suites or something......"

The other party didn't think about it at all, "Miss Kelly doesn't care, it's okay for DIVA to ask for these, as a young male singer who has just released his first album, you don't have such a good impression." ”

"Thank you for reminding me of this, I'll pay attention to it later." Song Yaxin said What do you think I want a suite for, but I really have to keep a low profile, anyway, I will only use a dressing room at that time, so I will use her good hehe.

"Go back and concentrate on the album."

At the end of November, the MV shooting ended, and Song Ya appeared at the airport gate with his real girlfriend Phigi under the gaze of reporters.

"Where's your song? Didn't you have one for me? Fergie took the opportunity to ask for what Song Ya had promised.

"Well, it's a bit of a hassle with the right to sample, so I'll let Delay do it."

Ready to give Becky's debut single London Bridge a sample of Down to The Nightclub by Tower of Power in the early '70s, in the hands of Warner Records.

Song Ya rubbed his eyebrows, Warner Records has been grinding with Dile, the bargaining for sampling rights or cover rights may be very cheap or expensive, everything depends on the value of the buyer, as a talented musician who has risen in the past two years, if he wants to use these, the price of the track management is very high.

"You know, I don't have much to do with Warner Records."

Although Warner Records was infinitely close to winning itself, after failing to cooperate, the relationship between the two parties quickly turned cold, and the other party did not get a satisfactory offer, and was never willing to take the song sampling rights to 'rival'. Therefore, big record companies have a huge repertoire copyright library, and well-known singers cover or sample songs, which are generally selected from their own company's repertoire copyright library, but the apocalypse is chaotic, and Song Ya has not withdrawn.

"I don't care, I don't care, I still have four months to send a special, and the first order has not yet been decided!"

Fergie shook her shoulders and shook his hand away, "Before the end of the year, I'm going to see that song." ”

"It should be fine, let's get in, the flight is about to take off."

Song Ya coaxed her away and called DeLay, "If you can't get along with Warner Records, you can get the consent of the composer of Down to The Nightclub, but it will be more difficult, and the big companies have to consider all aspects, and the songwriter will live by those old songs." "And let's contact the songwriter, and Warner Records will be more sure of how much you want the right to sample that song." ”

"Anyway, let's get it done before the end of the year, I do need the sampling rights for that song, and I can make appropriate concessions to Warner Records."

Song Ya rushed to the platform for Escubber's new album announcement, and the two sang Song Ya's Where Is The Love and each other's It Was A Good Day on stage.

"Congratulations to Cooper, the new album has won the number one album on the B list."

Escuber's new album won the album chart top this week, and there is no suspense that he has sold platinum thread, although in the absence of strong opponents, this result has been very unexpected by Song Ya, and next month Dorry's new album is also very popular, and the two leading figures of the West Coast gang's rap and former teammates of NWA have developed very well.

The first NAS on the East Coast sells well, but it's not enough in front of Escubus and Dre.

"yes, don't forget about the joint propaganda." Cooper hugged him, "Can you still handle it in the Midwest?" He was testing the impact of the GD incident on Song Ya again.

"It's going to be a bit of a setback, but it should be fine, you wait and see."

The stinking of GD's reputation and the disintegration of the Bobtail of Hell have greatly reduced Song Ya's influence on small and medium-sized DJs in several states around Chicago, but he has to maintain the Chicago meeting no matter what, which is a lot of good for himself, and if it really doesn't work, he will continue to trap DJs even if he spends money.

"Okay, see you next month in New York." Escubus is referring to Where Is The Love star chorus.

"See you in New York."

Song Ya said goodbye to him, "This guy, you should have heard something, right?" "Brother Tony has a bad impression of Cooper.

"Definitely."

After Kenneth disappeared, the other gangs began to attack the territory of the Hell Bobtail a few days ago, and the process was very smooth, the Hell Bobtail barely organized effective resistance, and now the only thing left is the area around the underground nightclub opposite Old Joe's music.

The imbalance of Chicago's underground forces has caused similar turf grabbing incidents to occur in other neighborhoods one after another, and the violent cases have escalated again.

"No one in the road is afraid of us now, is it? Brother. Tony asked.

"We don't mess around, so why should we care what they think?"

Song Ya replied, but how could she really not care? It's okay for someone like Escuber, but if the braggart daddy can't hold it down, there will be new trouble, "Alas! He sighed, there was nothing he could do but take one step at a time.

"Willow." Taragi handed over the phone.

"Hey, John, how's it going?" wiped his face, cleaned up his mood, and answered the phone with a cheerful smile.

"He signed it." The phone was hung up.
