‘1234，2234…… Stop for a moment. ’

The dancing fingers shouted loudly to beat the beat, "APLUS, watch your movements, be faster, more powerful, and have more amplitude!" ”

She came over to correct Song Ya's movements, "1234...... So, when you take the microphone away from your mouth and start dancing, you have to show the audience that you're different, that you're a star, that you've got to be the center of attention...... Of course, the importance of keeping the movements in sync with the backup dancers comes first, and it is important to grasp the degree well. ”

"I see."

Song Ya followed the beat of the music, increasing the amplitude and intensity of her movements according to her instructions, and began to speed up the frequency to make up for the loss of time with the backup dancers.

"Good, good! More free play of small movements, expressions, pay attention to facial expressions. Dancing fingers continued to pick faults.

"That's all for today."

The concert director, who was leaning against the back wall of the dance studio, looked at his watch, "Everyone else can leave." ”

"See you tomorrow with APLUS." The dancers went to pack their things, put their bags on their backs and left in an orderly manner, "See you tomorrow." Song Ya smiled and shook hands with them and touched fists.

There are only a few main creators left in the dance studio, "APLUS, you really have to pay attention to facial expressions, natural, cool, discharge, you don't need me to teach these, right?" Also, in between songs, you can wipe sweat, drink water, stretch and move your muscles on stage in front of tens of thousands of people, but don't show a tired expression, the kind of face twisting, panting, or holding your knees with your hands to slow down, like you are now. ”

Song Ya is supporting her knees with her hands like an NBA star, lowering her head, letting the sweat drip on the floor and taking the opportunity to rest, "Why? He asked.

"You're tall and fit, and in the eyes of the public, you're a tough guy, or that kind of ...... Hip-hop singers, you know, don't be afraid of heaven and earth, don't expose your weak side in front of their eyes, you can sweat, you can say I'm tired, but you have to maintain a consistent image, it's good for you. The director said.

“OK。”

Song Ya was taught, straightened his waist, brushed his hand from his forehead, and shook off the sweat, "Whew!" I'm a little tired. "Put the microphone to your mouth and simulate an understatement smile to the audience.

"That's it, the little girls will love you to death." Everyone else present laughed.

At this time, a fragrant wind suddenly hit, and someone hugged Song Ya from the side, and his soft lips were printed on his cheeks at the same time.

"WTF ......" He turned his head to see that the girl who was playing the surprise attack was Amy Acker, who was wearing an unseasonable thick leather jacket, looking up at him with adoring eyes, and jumping and screaming happily like a starchaser.

Someone in the room came over and pulled Amy Ake out of the door, she laughed and grabbed Song Ya's arm and refused to let go, her body struggled desperately, "No, you guys...... What are you doing here? Song Ya asked inexplicably.

"Your reaction is not rightAPLUS, the big concert of the male star is likely to have the kind of crazy girl who suddenly runs on stage and kisses strongly, what should you do at that time? Well? ”

It turned out to be a practical drill arranged by the director, "First of all, you can be surprised, but don't show a scared or scared expression, and start responding with a smile after reacting, or take advantage of the situation to hug the girl to show that you accept this kindness, crazy fans also love you, don't they?" ”

"And then when the security guards come to maintain order and drag the girl off the stage, you immediately tell her not to hurt her," he said. Of course, you can't shout at the security guards, and the order can't be chaotic, but you have to show a caring side to the song mini, you love them very much, and the audience will like your demeanor, gentleness and care to take care of everyone's feelings at the same time......"

"I get it again."

Song Ya picked up the microphone and continued to say to the 'security': "Be careful......" and then turned to the 'audience' and choked up and said, "I feel your enthusiasm, but please pay attention to the order, okay?" I love you all and I don't want you to do risky things because of me, you don't have to be hurt, otherwise I'm very, very sad......"

"Very good, a little tighter, be rude, don't make it like you're going to cry your nose, you're not MJ's kind of character, hip-hop singer's style should be more man......" the director reminded.

"Uh...... Think about it. Song Ya pondered for a moment, "I feel your enthusiasm, but please pay attention to the order, OK?" I love you, don't risk it for me, I don't want you to be like this, OK? Let's sing and dance together! Beat! Get high! He responded in a darker tone, and his hands began to stir up the atmosphere.

"Good, very good." The director and others applauded.

"Thank you." Song Ya hugged Amy Ake, who had completed the performance task, "It turns out that you are practicing this behind my back, and your acting skills are good." ”

"Your concert is sure to be a great success." Amy Ake smiled a little shyly, "Actually, I was playing myself just now......"

"Hey......

Song Yazheng was happy and saw Newman smiling and applauding himself at the door, "You go to Linda first, I have something to do." "Hurry up and send the girl in your arms away," when did you come?" ”

"Just now."

Newman walked in, "Talk? ”

"Okay, I'm going to rush and come with me." Song Ya walked to the shower outside the dance room.

"Mimi can't come to Chicago for the time being, and the host asked you about your relationship several times in a TV interview yesterday, and she responded very hard." Newman leaned out of the shower and asked, "Did you see that?" ”

"I watched it, congratulations, her Fantasy won the top list of the B list."

Song Ya said in the sound of rushing water, he later learned that Mariah Carey chased him to the airport, and he was still in his sleep to say an Apocalypse Airplanes, but he also knew that his wife would not be humble enough to continue chasing to Chicago......

"You should say this to her personally, answer the phone, APLUS, stop the childish cold war." Newman persuaded.

"Let's calm down for a moment, shall we?"

Song Ya is now reluctant to continue the topic, "How is the merger of MJ and Sony going?" ”

"I've signed a contract today." Newman looked at his watch, "Probably the financial news will talk about this on the hour in a while." ”

The two returned to Highland Park, Newman and Song Ya's men sat in the study together and watched TV, according to reports, this deal involves Sony Music Copyright's entire music rights library except for the book area, including Elvis Presley, Barbra Streisand, George Michael, Michael Burton, Kelly Kim and other Columbia record superstars, as well as Sony since the eighties have been acquired, of course, the copyright library is not necessarily all the rights of these singers, It is very complicated to have exclusive copyrights for a part of certain people or for a certain period of time and a certain area.

MJ's ATV owns the copyright of hundreds of Beatles songs, some of which are only valid in North America, and some are global, in addition to ATV's own huge copyright library comparable to Sony, as well as part of the music rights of MJ and his family, plus some of the music rights that MJ acquired one after another after getting the ATV.

All the copyrights that belonged to Sony Music Rights before the trade deadline with Mariah Carey, Witch and others were also included in this shocking deal.

The two companies each own 50 percent of the new company, and Sony paid MJ an additional $50 million in cash to balance the deal.

"The industry estimates that this huge music copyright library is worth more than 2 billion dollars, and after the transaction is completed, MJ's personal worth will exceed one billion yuan for this alone."

The news anchor said excitedly.

"I'm very happy, I'm very, very excited right now, you know, the negotiations with them have been going on for so long......"

MJ still said in his unique gentle tone, he should have just been interviewed after signing the contract, "Now we can finally run this music temple wholeheartedly, the Beatles, Elvis, and my ......"

"Other than that, who do you like about their songs? Now, it is fashionable. The reporter asked.

"Many, many things, George Michael, Kelly King, Mariah Carey, oh yes and APLUS, I love him and his songs, very, very much ......"

'MJ really stood at the top of the record industry this time, and he did it! ’

On the other side, BET's black streamers are going crazy with joy, 'He's now the owner of half of the world's largest music library!' It was a momentous moment for African-American musicians, and it will go down in history! He's our forever King of Pop! ’

"Linda, it's okay."

Song Ya watched the news with a black face throughout the whole process, and ordered Linda, who was depressed and happy with honor on the screen, to turn off the TV, "So now half of the copyrights of my first and second majors are included in this copyright library?" ”

"That's right." Newman replied.

"And what about the new songs and compilations that are left in my deal with Sony Columbia?"

His contract with Sony Columbia Records ended in '97, and now the two albums are completed, and there is still one last new song plus selection to be released in the contract year, and the release contract between A+ Records and the other party is also ending at that point in time. Since things have turned out like this, he will definitely not be ready to renew his contract at that time, otherwise as long as it is released through Sony Columbia Records, then part of the copyright of the song will inevitably go into MJ's hands.

"Since then, Sony will only own half of the new rights library, and after the trade deadline, all songs released by Sony Columbia Records will be poured into the new rights library at market price, and MJ and Sony will each pay half of it."

Newman replied: "If there is any intention to acquire the new copyright library, the acquisition fee will be half of that of Sony and MJ." ”

"Didn't your second album be released after the trade deadline?" Ms. Sloan asked.

"The issuance contract was signed before, and it shall prevail." Hamlin replied.

"Then can I not include new songs and selected albums in the copyright library in the future?" Song Ya asked.

"No, Sony Colombia is the distributor and has the right to manage the tracks, and they are not allowed to sell to third parties according to their agreement with MJ." Hamlin replied.

"In other words, MJ will continue to inject funds into this copyright library in the future to match the inflow of new song copyrights?" Goodman asked, "If he wants to maintain that half of the equity." ”

"Yes, according to his character, he won't let go." Newman nodded, "MJ can afford it......" He glanced at Song Ya, "The outside world doesn't know how much property MJ's business empire has, but there is no doubt that it is definitely worth more than APLUS at the moment." ”

There is no doubt that he was finally pressed by MJ, although that copyright library does not include his own songwriting copyright, nor does it include the part of the singer's performance rights, but half of the music copyright of singers under A+ Records, such as himself, his wife, and Phigie and other songs released through Sony Columbia, are included in this copyright library.

In the future, you have to pay MJ for singing your own songs, and the words that the good people teased Paul McCottney back then also apply to themselves, because even if they sing their own songs in concerts, commercial performances and other profitable activities, the income will be paid to the music copyright owner in proportion, the proportion is very low, just a small amount of money, but it can't be relied on......

"That's it, thank you for coming to Newman."

Everyone's mood was a little depressed by themselves, and Song Ya could only choose to hold a grudge, squeeze out a smile, and get up to send Newman.

"Answer her call." Newman continued to nag.

"Wait a little longer."
