Chapter 487: A Head Shorter

The next morning, the two lay in bed and talked about the house.

"It has to be in New York, I only live in New York, at least ten times the size of here, with our own farm......"

She crossed her fingers and counted wistfully.

"Ten times bigger, isn't that the Bedford Hill you and Motura planned?" Song Ya complained: "Is that piece of land still there?" ”

"Hate ......"

She rolled her eyes, "It should still be there, but wouldn't it be good for us to buy it again?" ”

"Of course not, he's been stimulated enough." Song Ya replied to one.

A slap in the chest, "And the summer cottages of the Hamptons, rich New Yorkers go to the Hamptons in the summer, plus winter, well, go to the Bahamas in the winter, we will have our own island there too......"

With 25 million records and less than 5 million in liquidity, it cost 7.7 million plus other costs to buy Def Jam shares, and now there are only more than 20 million left, two houses and a small island, and there must be a house on the island......

According to her plan, even if the two share it, the money may not be enough.

How much does it cost to spend about 40 acres of land around New York?

Northern Trust's O'Grady, for his part, has been persuading himself to cover his stock of Apple......

"You spend some money to save a little...... Song Ya warned her, "I heard that you just spent 600,000 dollars to buy a piano that Monroe used before her death?" ”

"Hmm."

"That piano wasn't worth that much money, and Monroe wasn't a musician." Song Ya complained.

"People like it." She said.

DIVA has money and can't help it, and Song Ya doesn't want to interfere with how she spends her money, as long as she doesn't have to eat and drink.

"The telephone and telegraph company wants to compensate me 2.5 million dollars as a pre-trial settlement of the wiretapping case." She said.

"Not bad!"

Song Ya nodded, Hamlin was helping in that case, and the telephone and telegraph company didn't really have much responsibility, but still didn't want to go to court with a popular DIVA because of the word 'wiretapping', and their New York headquarters was also located in Tribeca.

"The house ......" she refused.

"Okay, okay, I'll let people start looking for a place, buy land first, and build their own house, right?" Song Ya raised his hand in surrender.

"Uh-huh." She nodded her head like a chick pecking rice.

"No Hamptons, no Bahamian ......," Song Ya said, looking into her eyes.

"Well, step by step."

"Step by step ......"

Forget it, let's do it first, get up after a while, both of them are very busy, and she can't stay in Chicago for long.

In the evening, after a group discussion with her classmates, she returned to Highland Park, and the beauty had already left, so Song Ya said hello to Hayden and Donovan, and asked William Morris to look for it.

"LL Cool J won't come to Chicago." Linda reported: "He didn't say it explicitly, but he just didn't want to come. ”

"You can't let my boss go to New York to meet him, can you?"

Song Ya was not very happy.

"He's an old-timer in the rap industry...... "Linda advises, "you can lower your posture, no problem." Now some DJs in New York are laughing at McCartney for him, saying that he has to pay you to sing his own songs. ”

In '85, Beatles member and rock star Paul McCartney failed to bid MJ for the ATV rights library, which contained dozens of Beatles songs, and since then some people have been using this to stimulate him, saying that he will pay MJ to sing his own songs in the future.

He was upset, and it was rumored that he told his friends that MJ had taken advantage of the good relationship he had with him when he collaborated on the song Say Say Say to find out the reserve price he would offer.

The rumor put a lot of pressure on MJ at the time, and MJ hit back with a racial argument to the effect that 'if a white guy does a good business, then it's fine, and everyone will praise him for his vision.'" But if a black man did the same thing, everyone would wonder if he was using some bad means. ’

The response was so beautiful that Paul McCotney didn't say anything more, but the meme has been around since then.

"It's boring, like a person buys one share, just one share of Sony Electronics stock, because Sony Electronics owns Sony Columbia Records and Sony Copyrights, so I can also say that Barbra Streisand, Michael Burton, Mimi, they all have to pay that person when they sing their own songs? The man who is shorter? ”

Song Ya complained.

Linda laughed, she took the note and wrote it down, "Your words are very reasonable, maybe you can make a joke and shake it out when you are on a talk show." ”

"What about LL Cool J?"

Song Ya asked her: "I, the largest individual shareholder of Def Jam Records, am always qualified to be respected as a boss?" Don't say that I am higher than him, and my records are not sold less than him, so I don't want to surrender my identity and take the initiative to visit him in New York. ”

"Looking for another chance? He often goes to Hollywood for cameo roles or fun, and maybe I can arrange for you to meet at a party or something. Linda said, "It's still early next April, waiting for you to finish this school season?" ”

"Yes, you can stare at the point."

Song Ya nodded in approval.

Speaking of MJ, a new twist arose in MJ's case, where his former security guard sold some of the revelations for 150,000 dollars to Hard Copy, a small gossip TV station known for its undisciplined conduct, which mentioned that MJ had asked him to destroy some photos of boys without clothes.

Interestingly, the station uses Paramount's channel resources, and the plaintiff, Evan Chandler, worked as a dentist for Paramount President Shirley Lansing.

MJ's side was quick to accuse the former security guard of being fired with a grudge and making things up for money.

But the real money of 150,000 dollars had a very large demonstration effect, and the servants, security guards and other staff who worked in Dream Mountain Resort or used to work in Dream Mountain Resort instantly found themselves sitting on a huge gold mine, and according to rumors, many revelations were sold by them to various media, and the situation on the MJ side took a sharp turn for the worse for a while.

Song Ya continued to attend his school, practicing his vocal music, acting and dancing, completely out of the matter, and his love affair with Mariah Carey had long been overshadowed by a series of hot events, and fans who had not looked good together before had gradually accepted this reality.

I promised Harley that I didn't go to the premiere of the two movies before, and both movies lost money, and the latter one, The Program starring her, was very miserable, a sports inspirational film with a production cost of 15 to 20 million dollars, and the box office was only 23 million......

After losing money on such films, her star career has dimmed a lot, and according to the small report of Talagita who lives with her, she cried after the box office of the movie, and many auditions after that also failed. Now she can only count on the Modern Stone Clan, which will be released next year, to help her turn over, but no one has much confidence in how much box office a spoof comedy with an animated film can have.

In October, on Song Ya's nineteenth birthday, he went to New York, and with Mariah Carey, he bought a total of 9 million acres of land in Bedford Hills, not far from the land she and Motura fancied, and signed a contract with a well-known designer and a builder, the design and construction cost was about 9 million, and a series of other costs, a total of about 22 million, which lasted nearly a year, before they could really own their 'dream manor'.

"It's beautiful."

The two stood side by side, and Mariah Carey took a deep breath as she looked out at the vast turquoise meadows in front of her.

Song Ya's eyes were covered with green rice knives, "Yes......" he sighed softly.
