"I want to be a part of it too."

"Really? Then I'm welcome, but is it okay to enter with your financial situation? ”

"Uh, ahem......"

Rick Rubin stopped pretending, quickly took the phone back from Song Ya's ear, got up and paced into the distance to whisper to Littleman.

"It looks like he can really influence Littleman." Yeremov whispered: "His Def American is under Warner Records, and in '90 he got his feet on Shake Your Money Maker, the big-hit album of The Black Crowes. ”

"But his addition would also increase Russell Simmons' hostility." Song Ya is making a choice in her heart, and there are pros and cons to accepting the other party's money, depending on whether the pros outweigh the disadvantages, or the disadvantages outweigh the pros.

"Russell Simmons' Def Jam Records is 50 percent owned by Sony Columbia Records." Yeremov said: "Maybe you can ask Motura for help, after all, you are now red." ”

"My record label isn't owned by Sony Columbia, and Def Jam is much closer than A+." Song Ya shook her head.

"It can't be counted like that...... Rick Rubin hung up the phone and came back, and Yeremov did not continue.

"Let's be honest, APLUS, you also heard it just now, I can't take out too much cash, so let's not go around in circles, I will contribute 100 to 1.5 million, but I have to take a little more equity, because ......"

He shook his phone, "My special influence." ”

"No problem, but it's really just a little bit more." Song Ya used her thumb and index finger to make a distance of the thickness of a hair.

"More?"

"Unless you can verify your special influence."

"That's too much trouble, I'm just here to see for myself Russell Simmons' angry expression......" Rick Rubin shook his head.

"Is this really all there is to it?" "Def American, Musical American, the names of these two brands go hand in hand, don't they?" said Yeremov. ”

"Okay, okay, let's officially start the details of the negotiations, little by little."

The motive was unmasked by fellow Jews, and Rick Rubin impatiently ended the conversation.

Shirley Fleming was glad to have more people in the room, and her main goal was to buy the magazine back and become her editor-in-chief again.

"After the adjustment after the tripartite negotiations, you will contribute 5.5 million to 51 percent of the equity, Shirley Fleming and her friends will contribute 2 million, accounting for 29 percent of the equity, and Rick Rubin will contribute 1.5 million, accounting for 20 percent of the equity, and there will be corresponding management powers. You give up part of the equity, but the controlling stake is still yours, and by and large the magazine will have the final say in the future, except for those stipulated by Shirley Fleming, such as maintaining the independence of the annual list jury. ”

The Coopers accountant handed the prepared documents to Song Ya, "They have signed it." ”

"Motura told you to go to his office." Taraji came in to report.

Song Ya put down the pen that was about to sign, "Will he come to me for this matter?" ”

"I don't know." Taragi replied, "It was his secretary who called me." ”

"Do you want to wait until you're done talking to him?" Yeremov asked.

"Well, wait for me to come back, anyway, don't worry about these few hours."

Song Ya rushed to Sony's Columbia Records headquarters and met Motura in the president's office on the top floor.

This is the first time the two have met here since the conflict, and the relationship between the two sides is not as good as before, Motura did not pour wine and chat as before, but sat behind the desk, always with a straight face and a businesslike attitude.

"Russell Simmons called me and said you were fighting him for the Amerika Music Magazine?"

Sure enough, it's because of this.

"Yes, but this magazine is my first target, he is a latecomer, and our bid will be for nothing to cheapen the magazine owner, Littman." Song Ya sat down in front of him and crossed Erlang's legs.

"He asked me for help and wanted you to cancel the operation, he is a very good producer and label owner under our umbrella."

Motura picked up the microphone and handed it over, "You can talk to him right here." ”

"I don't think so, do I?" Song Ya didn't answer, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I've promised him not to cause extra trouble, I'll only make an offer once, and then I won't bid with him again." ”

Motura put the microphone back, "But you're going to work with Warner's Rick Rubin, and it's not in Sony's Columbia Records." ”

"He's working with Quincy Jones, and the old guy has been slandering our MJ, and Quincy Jones' entertainment company is also under Warner."

Song Ya competed against each other.

Motura sneered through her nostrils, "So you think you can ignore my opinion?" ”

"Do you also have to take care of business activities other than records?"

"So you want another war?" Motura stared straight over.

"I thought we were already mending our relationship, not drifting apart......" Song Ya felt that the situation was not right and said softly.

Motura laughed, "That depends on how hard you try." ”

"I've been trying, Mr. Motula."

"That's good." Motura tossed over a document, "Mimi is going to have an unplugged concert on MTV in March, and I want to make that Empire State Of Mind (Part II), an all-female version of Empire State Of Mind, one of her songs, and then release an EP in a live recording version." ”

"But we agreed that the song would be on her '93 album."

Song Ya got the other party's exchange conditions, and felt a little unhappy, "My chorus version with Mimi has been suppressed by you for a few months, and her solo version comes out so early, so how can the sales loss of my chorus version be calculated?" Times Square's New Year's Eve and the next AMA live performances will be diverted by the solo version in March, don't think I don't understand this. ”

"Aren't you and Mimi best friends? Don't worry about that. ”

"What if I don't agree?"

"Then you can't get that magazine, and even if you do, you'll be smeared by Russell Simmons and Quincy Jones later, maybe I'll help too."

"What if I agree?"

"Then I can guarantee Russell Simmons that they will calmly accept defeat."

"FXXK......" The conditions are actually not bad, Song Ya scolded in a low voice, got up and walked out the door, "I will sign, but this is not because I am afraid of your threat, but for Mimi's singing career." ”

"Hahaha! When you're concentrating on your opponent, be careful not to show your ass, BOY! ”

Motula, who thought he had a plan, suddenly laughed maniacally, "Go into the studio as soon as possible and accompany Mimi to record!" He shouted loudly at Song Ya's back.

"I will, I will accompany her well......" Song Ya glanced back at him and muttered to herself.

"Hi, Mimi."

He chatted and called back to Tribeca's house, "Are you ready?" Empire State Of Mind's solo version ...... "casually signed the acquisition papers.

"Thank you, APLUS!"

Mariah Carey was so happy that she even whispered on the other end of the phone, "I just heard Tommy's news, and I'm not ready yet." But I'm going to change some of the way that song is sung, okay? ”

"No, no Mimi, don't think about it."

"Just a little, a little bit ......"

"Don't think about it at all!"

"Why are you like this!?"

"I've always been like that in the studio, I'm the producer."

"Tyrant."

"Say whatever you want."

"Then I'll raise the key."

"Nope."

"Just one."

“Mimi……”

"Please......
