The three of them looked at each other's backs and smiled, "Beautiful finish, almost all wins." Hamlin said.

"yes."

Although he has always put on a tough and indifferent posture to the outside world, Song Ya has gradually experienced the feeling of being entangled in lawsuits, and there is always a kind of fear of losing from time to time in his thoughts, which affects his mood very much, how can he also be an A-List, it is very troublesome to run the court, for example, now, people walking around the court corridor see that they are all pointing fingers, not necessarily all of them are legal elites, many of them are specially here to observe or the families of prisoners, and it is very unsafe.

Since his relationship with Mariah Carey became a media darling again after it was exposed, he had the opportunity to chat with reporters, and it was not a good choice to be interviewed in the background of a local court in New York.

The opposing lawyer got the settlement money of 250,000 yuan, and then divided it with the plaintiff group according to the agreement, I am afraid that he will not even be able to recover the cost of the lawsuit that dragged on the shed, but for himself, it is far more than the 250,000 yuan, not including the expenses for traveling to and from the court, and the working hours, lawyer fees, court fees and the money for hiring private detectives earned by Hamlin and his law firm from him are nearly one million, so it is better to fight less lawsuits.

"What other lawsuits do I have?" He asked.

"You are personally the defendant is gone, as a plaintiff, mainly two song copyright lawsuits against two nobodies, warning nature."

Hamlin recalled, "But there are a lot of lawsuits for the companies under your name, A+ Audio has several lawsuits against infringement of synthesized sound copyright libraries, A+ Apparel has lawsuits against pirated T-shirts, and Barn & Company, DTS, and Palm have patent lawsuits, defendants or defendants." There is also a lawsuit in the crew of your dance out of my life, but it should be a farce, there is a young actor who didn't get the role that someone promised, and he was angry and sued the crew, and a dancer fell and injured himself during rehearsal, and also sued the crew. ”

"It's a common thing in Hollywood." Hayden explained.

Each company has its own legal affairs, and Song Ya also knew that this was basically the daily life of a Mi country's enterprise, so he asked carefully, and he didn't notice any danger and threw away his hand, no matter how energetic he was, he couldn't figure out all the inside information.

"Oh, yes, and Delay told me that you wanted to buy the rights to cover a piece of music." Hayden said, "Do you want him to follow up?" ”

"Of course, I'll go back to Chicago and tell him personally."

The rights to the accompaniment of Mambo No. 5 are in the hands of the family of the deceased Pérez Prado, who was once the ' The King of Mambo', the value of the work is clear to his family, they are not outsiders in the music industry, and they also know the market very well, they inquired about the film plan of Dancing My Life, thinking that Song Ya bought the cover rights in order to put it in the original soundtrack of Dancing My Life, so the price was also raised, in addition to the six percent composition copyright must be taken in full, and also asked for a one-time transfer fee for cover rights.

Song Ya rushed back to Chicago and immediately brought Delay to talk about it.

"What to do? Direct infringement, send the song out first and then file a lawsuit? "They are expecting too much now. ”

"I don't want to do this, keep dragging, no, just cut off contact, and you also put on a posture of no longer cooperating. When the soundtrack of My Life was released, didn't they think I wanted to use the song on the soundtrack? Song Ya made a decision.

"Dance My Life Soundtrack will be released until next summer, right?" DeLay smiled, "They're going to lose their breath by then." ”

"That's what I thought too."

Song Ya replied, and at this time Linda sent her phone in, "Miss Kelly." ”

Mariah Carey asked her mother on the phone when she would meet Aunt Susie, and Song Ya used that excuse to go back to Chicago.

Her inner thoughts, Song Ya has already felt very clearly, she is willing to marry herself, and she is also looking forward to marriage, but she didn't say it out of arrogance, I'm afraid she is already waiting for herself to surprise.

"I've just arrived in Chicago, and I haven't had time to tell Aunt Susie, so don't worry." Song Ya said with a smile.

"I'm not in a hurry." She immediately brushed it off, "It's my mom who wants to meet." ”

"Uh-huh, I understand." Song Ya chatted with her, and naturally talked about her brother Morgan's recommendation of Brenda, "If Brenda really meets the conditions, maybe I will sing the songs I wrote to her and put them in the soundtrack of the dance out of my life movie, you have seen the scores, and the ones with Step UP." ”

"Brenda is nice to me, and I want to repay her just as much as my brother. But she reminds me of that backing singing time, and honestly, it's not a good memory. Mariah Kelly said, "Would you like to ask Donovan first?" ”

DIVA is very sensitive in the music industry, "If Brenda becomes popular, my little singer's past will be revisited by the media." She said.

Donovan would also be her agent since '94 and has now taken over some of the things ahead of schedule.

"The quality of those songs doesn't threaten your position." Song Ya explained, "Okay, I'll ask Donovan first. ”

He didn't actually rush to make this call, but asked Dion Wilson to report to him about the female singer's audition first.

"You want a female singer who meets the requirements."

Dion Wilson brought in a bunch of resumes and videos, "The template is the LLC combination of Losunda, right?" ”

"What about the resumes of the unsuccessful girls?" Song Ya asked while flipping, but she didn't find any female singers in the apocalypse songs.

"Then you'll have to watch for a long time." Dion Wilson said.

"Take them all, I'll see what they look like." Song Ya replied, in fact, he was afraid of missing someone, A+ Records wanted to sign a rookie female singer who sang rhythm and blues, and there was an endless stream of girls coming, according to the small reports of other employees of A+ Records, Dion Wilson, who was in charge of the audition, was very 'cool', and let Big A and others also get a piece of the pie.

As long as it is not excessive, Song Ya has no intention of pursuing it, Dion Wilson's character is still reliable, and the music production director auditions for female singers, this kind of thing is too normal in the industry.

"Then you'll have to come to the warehouse with me." Dion Wilson took him to the warehouse, and carefully rummaged through several large file boxes, but there was still no one, so he had to die.

"Actually, there is a girl who fits your requirements perfectly, but unfortunately she has signed to another record company." Seeing that he was a little disappointed, Dion Wilson took the initiative to say, "Do you want to see it?" ”

"Who?"

"Arya Howton, who is only thirteen years old this year, but whose voice is really ......," Dion Wilson exclaimed, "is no worse than Losunda who is born to sing rhythm and blues." ”

"Let me see."

Song Ya asked Dieng to find the video and go back to the office to take a closer look, indeed, the thirteen-year-old black girl has grown very mature, looks like a mixed race, is very beautiful, sings really well, and fully meets her requirements for those songs.

It's a pity that as soon as Song Ya saw the logo of JIVA Records on the corner of the video, her heart was crossed, JIVA Records and Quincy Jones have a close relationship, and she will never be able to dig anyone, in New York, Daniel has begun to deprive Russell Simmons of control of Def Jam Records, and the feud between the two sides will become deeper and deeper.

"FORGET IT, JIVA'S GUYS." He said regretfully.

"Indeed, JIVA is already planning to praise her, especially Lau Kelly, and it is estimated that she will launch her first album next year." Dion Wilson nodded.

"It's up to you who you choose." Song Ya waved his hand.

"If you say it in advance, it's not as good as Arya, it's not as good as Losunda, it's even far worse."

Dion Wilson vaccinated him, it's still an old problem, really talented female singers are about ten years old, they will show a quality that is higher than their peers in choir or intercollegiate performances, etc., mature record companies will cast a wide net, sign people very early, and then support them to go on the road of music, under the high base of talent resources and fierce competition with each other, cultivate real potential new stars.

A+ records are still far from the talent pool, and now they can only 'pick up the leaks'.

"Let's see." But Song Ya didn't plan to do that, the synonym of just scattering resources is to spend money extensively, and he has the help of the Apocalypse, didn't he just snatch William Adams and his group companions under his command? It's much easier and more efficient.

The two chatted while watching the tape, "How about the album that William Adams brought?" Song Ya asked.

The last time I went back to Chicago, I was very tight, and he only had a brief chat with William Adams, and it was very good.

In addition to grabbing people from Big E, he also grabbed the first album where the William Adams combination was killed.

"Rap and funk on the West Coast are basically the number of Drew's roads, and there is just a lack of gangster elements."

Dion Wilson complimented: "You have a better vision than I do, they have a lot of potential, and although they are still lacking in popularity, if that record is released, it should sell better than Al's first album." Their musical route is also in line with the design of your stay away from the gangster rap circle. ”

Al's debut album was also released in August, and he has already started to go to some radio stations and nightclubs to test the waters of Song Ya's first single from the original Dance My Life soundtrack, and he hasn't come back yet.

"Then put this album into the '94 release plan." Song Ya said: "In addition to dancing the soundtrack of my life in 94, there is also Common's new album and their first album, the task is a bit heavy. ”

The two jumped and watched it, but they didn't find a female singer with great red potential, it was indeed far behind, Song Ya cleaned up some disappointment and dialed Donovan's phone.

"It doesn't matter, if you can help Brenda become popular, the public will only praise Mariah Carey for remembering the old love, and your kindness to your girlfriend and friends."

Donovan responded, "This will be a good story, as long as we properly guide public opinion and replace the recommender who opened up to you from Morgan to Miss Kelly herself, her brother Morgan is not a big mouth, it should be fine." Of course, the premise is that Brenda must not be more popular than her. ”

"Probably not."

Song Ya replied that the solo female vocals in the Dancing My Life Soundtrack are all good rhythm and blues music, but the pop potential is not as good as Becky's London Bridge.

"Sorry excuse me, just on the news, Jordan's father was killed." Linda pushes the door open and reports an unexpected message.
