"How much did Capitol Records promise to give you?"

Song Ya was really a little angry this time, got into the extended Lincoln, and directly dialed Fergie's phone, in the record industry, if a company suddenly has the confidence to poach other singers at a price lower than the liquidated damages, then there is a high probability that it has reached a private deal with the singer himself. Many singers are either unable to bear the company's suppression, or in order to go to a better development platform, or even simply for money, they often engage in troublesome behaviors such as passive confrontation, arousing fans' willingness, exposing and smearing their old club.

In short, the purpose is to force the old club to either let people go obediently, or everyone doesn't want to make money.

"I also want to buy a private jet." Becky on the other end of the line made no secret of it.

She had vowed to have a private jet that would not lose to Mira, which would cost at least five million dollars, and she may have been stimulated by the recent purchase of Gulfstream with Mariah Carey. It seems that Congress Records has set a budget of no less than eight million plus five million in order to get her, which is not low for a female singer who has just become popular, and the audience of her white hip-hop female singer route is limited after all.

Virgin Records spent nearly 40 million to dig Jenny Jackson before, and soon after Warner Records' 60 million to Madonna is the highest price for female singers at present, but that money includes Warner's participation in the acquisition of Madonna's private music studio, if Mariah Carey is now in a state of no contract, the signing fee of the new contract may not be able to reach that amount.

"Didn't you just buy a mansion in Los Angeles?" The former can still be built more than the current one, at least Mariah Carey will not find money to spend in this way.

"Can you set me free?" Fergie pretends to be pitiful.

"No way, you listen, if you're going to make trouble with Capitol Records, I'll freeze you! You know my character very well. ”

Song Ya warned ruthlessly, "You tell Pykinsley for me again, so that she doesn't have a whimsy!" ”

"Eight million can't satisfy your greed! APLUS？ I've made a lot of money for you! Becky screamed, "I'm still with you and ......"

"Calm down! Think about it and talk to me again! ”

"I hate you!" Fergie hung up.

"What's wrong, darling?"

Mariah Carey retracted the ear that was attached to the back of the phone.

"Fergie, Capitol Records wants to poach her." Song Ya replied, "How can there be such a good thing, my record company worked hard to make a singer popular, and this year's awards season just helped her win a bunch of small awards, and she will also have a share in the Source Hip Hop Music Awards in April, all of which were finally brought to PR." ”

In the past two days, he took advantage of being in New York to ask out the two shrewd Jewish bosses behind The Source magazine to chat, just to eliminate all kinds of hidden dangers at the Source Hip Hop Awards in advance for him and Fergey.

"Don't be too strict with her, it's not uncommon for a slightly popular singer to receive this kind of invitation."

Mary Carey didn't take her boyfriend's ex seriously, "I can understand that." "Since 90 years on, the other big five record companies have been sending people to me almost every year, and even if they can't find someone who can't find me, it's good to be a little bothersome for Sony Columbia Records," she said. So you don't have to react so much. ”

"Capitol Records and Viking Rice are the two major labels under Beimi Baidai, and it is because of the failure of the internal struggle with them that Daniel has achieved nothing in the position of president of Beimi Baidai, and there is a big holiday between them."

Song Ya explained, "Capitol Records' move is probably to hit my alliance with Daniel, and that Pyking Sley's attitude is also hateful, Hollywood is her home turf, but she doesn't count in the record industry." ”

"Will Fergie be stupid enough to cooperate with them?" Mariah Carey asked.

"I don't know, Fergie is smart, but her agent obviously wants to take her away, and I'm afraid she won't be able to resist the temptation." Song Ya replied.

"I hope she doesn't make a fool of herself, or can I help you persuade her?" Mariah Carey proposed.

Well? It's a little weird, Song Ya turned her head to stare at her face, and it didn't look like she was making some small calculations, "You...... Don't you care? Fergie is my ex-girlfriend. ”

"But she's also your money printing machine!"

Mariah Carey replied proudly: "How can you help me buy ...... money printing machine is down?"

"You understand that...... huh," the two laughed and joked.

After spending one night together at Tribeca, the two big singers reluctantly went their separate ways, she went to Tokyo to start the Asian distribution of the music box album, and Song Ya returned to Chicago to join the group to shoot the location of my life.

In early March, when the temperature in Chicago was still below freezing, Song Ya finished filming a scene of playing baseball with two brothers, Adam Sandra and Little Fat Dun, in the iconic dilapidated open space of the South City, and quickly rubbed his hands back to a large RV parked not far away.

"It's so cold...... Still warm in the car. ”

During the filming on location, the RV rented by the crew was his exclusive lounge and dressing room, "What is this?" He took off his old worn jacket and saw a new phone on the dressing table.

"A new phone from Nokia." Linda, who was busy, replied, "The model is 2110i, which is currently only available in urban areas of some major cities in Quanmi, and can send and receive text messages. ”

"Text message?"

Song Ya picked up this black straight mobile phone and looked at it carefully, the black and white LCD screen is quite large, and it is smaller than the Motorola clamshell machine that he is used to, but the appearance is not advantageous, the antenna is exposed, and it is even thicker, and the industrial design sense of Nordic leather is enough. In addition to numbers, the dial key is also neatly arranged with 26 English letters such as ABC and DEF, from 2 to 0, with three on each numeric key.

"SMS, that's what they call it, I don't know much, do you want to call someone from theirs to teach you?" Linda asked, "But wait, the Nokia staff is teaching her at Amy's." ”

"No, you don't."

Nokia asked Amperin Entertainment to take the initiative to contact them, and they just entered the rice market when they learned that the heroine of a youth idol song and dance film intended to use its latest mobile phone to appear in the movie, so they sent someone to negotiate, but the Nordic people who cut the door were only willing to pay 300,000 dollars and dozens of highest-equipped mobile phones to sponsor.

Since the other competitors did not have any firm will, they still won the opportunity.

There's no way, in this drama, the heroine can afford to hold a mobile phone alone, and there is only one scene in the whole movie that will be used.

"How much does this phone cost?" Song Ya asked.

"A thousand dollars." Linda replied.

"Well, Motorola is going to be sad......"

Song Ya remembered that it took more than 3,000 dollars to get her Motorola mobile phone all right, skillfully pressing the function key under the word Menu in the lower left corner of the screen, finding the contact menu that Linda had set up, selecting O'Grady's name, and dialing the phone, "It's me, APLUS, get all the Motorola stocks in my account." ”

"But now Motorola is in a good situation, Apple's new PowerBook notebook with his processor has been launched, and the sales momentum is very good, haven't you been looking forward to it since last year?"

O'Grady was a little surprised, "His stock and Apple's are rising, and Apple has risen to three cents and a half, which is just more than your cost line, and the situation is ......very good."

"Uh...... Or sell it, didn't Nokia just go public on the New York Stock Exchange? Exchange that money for some of his family's rice shares. After a little consideration, Song Ya still insisted on trusting his 'intuition', after all, the apocalypse had been Nokia's mobile phone products, and he was inexplicably familiar with the buttons of this 2110i, and he knew what that meant.

"Haha, I see, based on your judgment of the telecom market, right? It's not bad, the Nokia stock in your hand on the Helsinki Exchange has risen very well recently, and so on, I'll help you get out of Motorola and open a position in Nokia. O'Grady began to prepare for the trade, "Do you want to buy a little more?" ”

"Nope."

In the stock market, Song Ya has pressed down more than 80 million funds, in addition to the two million shares of Dow shares that have not yet been lifted, the technology stocks in his hands are either like Microsoft and Cisco, which have risen all the way to make people panic, or Apple, EA and others hovering on the edge of the cost line, but overall still outperforming the market, he has no intention of adding new investment, and will only move slightly depending on the situation.

Just hung up the phone, the phone 'Didi...... Didi ...... rang twice, and the symbol of an envelope appeared on the screen.

Song Ya opened it, and the sender was Amy, and the content was only a long list of '11111111' numbers.

Holding the phone with both hands, two thumbs skillfully flying on the keyboard, long press to select words, 1 is a space, 'What are you doing?' 'Went back.

'Didi...... Didi ...... 'It took a while for Amy to get this text message.

"Cards!"

Old Larry immediately stopped, "What sound!?" He was out of anger, "Who!?" Recording crew? ”

"Uh......"

Amy, who was wearing a designer coat and strolling in front of the camera with Tarraghi, raised her hand pitifully, "I'm sorry, it's my phone." ”

"That's just props! Didn't you just take a close-up of the screen? What are you still on!? Shutdown! Do it all over again! No one is allowed to use their phones on the set! Chicago is the hell weather, don't waste everyone's time on the crew! You're not red yet! ”

Old Larry is a scolding for scolding.
