"I haven't found any problems in the first million sales of I Feel It Coming for the time being, and I have asked the people below to take over the information and slowly check it, and turn their main efforts to the first million sales of Remember The Name. This is also the earliest income you can settle according to the contract, Sony Columbia Records must settle this part by the end of November, this personal plus the company's estimated income of more than four million will be a key point, according to your financial situation, after getting this money, you will completely have the capital to fight against Motura for a long time. If he doesn't make any extraneous moves. ”

Three days later, Songya received a call from Samuel in the car, "OK, I see, do you have a result of a rough audit of my total record sales?" ”

"There you have, you wait."

Samur rummaged for a while, "I Feel It Coming, North rice sales are 2.03 million, overseas sales are 310,000." Remember The Name, North Mi sold 3.27 million and overseas sales of 280,000. Empire State of Mind, North Mi sales of 1.14 million, overseas sales of 650,000. Small, North rice sales 860,000, overseas 110,000. I have to say you're the big winner this year, APLUS. ”

"Wow, I didn't expect there to be so many." Song Ya listened to him report these numbers as if he saw the money printing machine running, "What about my estimated income?" ”

"If this figure is true, I guess Sony Columbia will not make false accounts, your total personal income is about 7.5 million dollars, and the company income of A+ Records is about 20 million!" Samur replied excitedly.

"What advice do you have for me based on this income?" Song Ya asked.

"The first option, you pay Sony Columbia Records 5 million in compensation and give up the first release. In that case, you can't take the six singles except Show me the money with you, and you can only stay at Sony Columbia, Show me the money didn't sign a single distribution contract, and Feel It Still signed a single distribution contract only to be terminated by you later. Motura will be very angry at first, if he freezes the release of your six singles, then your follow-up income will basically be lost, 27.5 million minus 5 million, you can probably take less than 22.5 million money to leave freely. ”

Song Ya did the math in his heart, "If I agree to Motula's conditions, not only will the first album be released smoothly, but I will also get his signing fee of 30 million, which is nearly 100 million dollars, haven't you calculated?" 100 million against 20 million, that's a loss. ”

"But you don't want to agree to his terms."

Samuel complained, and he said: "Listen to me, you haven't counted the signing fee of you and other record companies to become a free body, and I said that Motura will be very angry at first, but when he comes back to his senses, there is a high probability that he will use your six singles to make an EP release, and you will still be able to get some of the proceeds at that time." So, it's not 100 million versus 20 million......"

"Forget it, I won't choose the first choice, even if I become a free agent, because I didn't release a single order, and then six good songs were left in Sony Columbia, and I also faced Motula's revenge, and other record companies would have severely lowered the price when they signed me. Besides, I'm not sure if Motura will release those six songs on EP after calming down, he's too controlling, and his personality is the same, he'll definitely do everything possible to ruin me, without those six songs, I don't know what year or month my first album will ......."

Samuel continued, "OK, second option. You stick to the release period of the i hate u i love u contract, and at that time it is not that you pay 5 million to give up the release of the single, but that it depends on whether Motura is willing to pay you 5 million and freeze your first album. ”

"He'll definitely do that." Song Ya said.

"That's good, 27.5 million plus 5 million, you wait for the expiration of the special contract with Sony Glumbia to leave with more than 30 million dollars, leave six songs, and then sign contracts with other companies, in addition to earning a signing fee...... I can also look forward to the income from the release of EP when Motura calms down in the future. ”

"Wouldn't Motula hate me even more? He will definitely do whatever it takes to discredit me, and the time will be dragged on for too long, and I will still be a newcomer who has not yet released a specialty, and maybe the fan base will be wiped out. ”

Samuel said: "That's it, the third option, you pay 20 million, let the next record company pay another 30 million, 50 million to buy those six singles from Sony Columbia Records, and at the same time, your A+ records have to promise to sign a five-year distribution contract with the next company, including your five years of two albums or two plus one album." You're pretty much out of the house, but the upside is that the first album will be released as soon as possible, and then A+ Records will still be an independent company, and your relationship with Motura won't be so stiff. ”

"Two specializations in five years? Can't you do it every two years or something? Song Ya asked.

"Then no one will be willing to take the risk, after all, they paid 30 million to buy four of the six singles that have been released, and they have basically run out of gas. They can only bet on the big sale of your first specialty and the quality of your secondary specialty will not drop significantly, and 30 million people may be willing to go to the gambling table, no matter how high it is, it will be impossible. Samuel said: "This is what we have calculated through mathematical modeling, if you insist on taking those six songs and you don't want to accept that A+ records are being controlled." ”

"Fifty million, will Motura let go?" Song Ya asked.

"Absolutely will put it, he froze you, you didn't get a single point for your smooth follow-up single plus debut album Sony Columbia Records, which has caused tens of millions of hidden losses to their company, if he refuses the 50 million, his own position will definitely not be stable, and MJ's album sales can't save him." Samuel said: "Of course, your attitude must be resolute, you must show a resolute attitude to the management behind Motura, Motura suppresses you, you will not cooperate anymore, you must redeem yourself and leave, and you have to prove to the next company that you are worth the 30 million they paid." ”

"Redemption ......"

This redemption is much more tragic than the pure exit I imagined a few days ago, "I'll think about it again, you can also take this time to improve your mathematical model, and see if there is a better solution." ”

"OK, I have to remind you that it is becoming more and more difficult for independent small and medium-sized record companies to survive now, and the record industry is the general trend of acquisitions." Samur hung up.

"I'm different, I have the Apocalypse Song ......"

Song Ya still holds the confidence of the traverser, but although the apocalypse song has been coming, the speed is still a little slow, and he hasn't even made up an album for a year and a half, "Isn't it a little too greedy for me to think so......" He shook his head and smiled bitterly.

“APLUS？”

Before he knew that the car had stopped, Old Mike opened the door for him, "Okay, come on." He collected his mood and slipped into the ...... under the escort of Old Mike and Mawota and others What is the city called? It doesn't matter, anyway, I have to catch two shows in the evening, both of which are not small nightclubs, sing a few songs and get 20,000 dollars into the account, and then take a break and then rush to the next city.

In the evening, he had just taken a shower to wash away the fatigue of running around, and came out to see Phigi flipping through his manuscript paper, "There is a new work again?" After all, she is only seventeen years old, and she has already recovered from the blow of the single being frozen, and maybe not yet, but Song Ya's new work has successfully diverted her attention, "What is this? She flipped through the staves, "Pure music? ”

"Yes, the symphony, I wrote it for fun." Song Ya replied.

"Dangdang, Dangdang, Dangdang......" Fei Ji snorted a few times, "You're so talented, dear ......" she looked back with a look of adoration, "I hate it, I ran out after taking a shower, and I was ugly." ”

The two were about to fight, and the mobile phone rang, it was Song Asheng.

"What's wrong?" Song Ya answered the phone.

"In a new situation, one of the 12 rental units we have in Tribeca has just had a crack in the load-bearing column, and the housing management unit has asked us to carry out a complete overhaul." Song Asheng's tone was a little anxious.

"That's it, what's wrong?" Song Ya asked.

"Not only do you have to overhaul it, but you can't rent it out again during this time! When to restore it will have to wait for the acceptance notice of the management unit! "Not only do we have to bear the cost of all tenants moving to the hotel to find a house temporarily, but we also have to reduce the rent for one month, maintenance costs, and the rental income before the acceptance of the management unit is gone, which is an important part of your mortgage." ”

"Call the police, let Goodman report to the local police, then what the hell the pillar won't crack so coincidentally."
