Song Ya was not carried away by Daniel's praise this time, he calmly considered Daniel's bottom line, and finally decided to get on Daniel's ship again.

The entertainment industry in this era still retains a lot of old rules, just like singers have agents, and record companies also have a set of internal mechanisms for docking with signed singers, and the singer is under which executive's banner can get part of the revenue from the records released by the singer, of course, the gameplay of different companies is slightly different, but in general. Daniel made the bottom line very clear, Mira's mother must transfer Mila to his banner, and as a partner of SBK, although the old Joe Music gang is not bound by this rule, but since Daniel facilitated this cooperation, they should also tacitly support Daniel.

Old Joe is very easy to handle, and it is not much of a problem for Lowry Jr. and Pablo to have Tony to match, and when there is no conflict of interest, it is still very effective to talk more about 'family' and 'brotherhood' among black people.

All that's left is to fight for Mira's mother, and if you can't induce her to turn back, the song FXXXYOU can only have nothing to do with Mira......

After all, the most important red thread hanging over Song Ya's head is the timing given by Michelle, and seizing the time to release the single is the first priority.

He and Hayden stayed in New York to get the copyright done first (the copyright content will not be repeated in the future), and using the limited legal and accounting help provided by BMI to members, he signed a single production contract with SBK, and he officially became the producer of the single FXXXYOU as a non-SBK employee, and at the same time enjoyed about 3% of the proceeds, plus 6% of the lyrics and songs, for a total of 15%.

It took about a week to finish these things, and Song Ya changed her outfit and officially started work.

Hayden was already waiting in SBK's recording studio, and the meeting was a slap in the face, "Are you dressed very energetically today, and finally say goodbye to second-hand goods?" ”

"Really? Thanks, this is New York, and I don't want to be laughed at. ”

Song Ya touched the brown and yellow denim leather jacket on his body, there were angry tassels on the chest and elbows to the cuffs of the jacket, and he wore a black T-shirt with Japanese kanji 'Yong 気' (no mainland font for sale) painted on the chest of the T-shirt, and the lower half was ordinary blue jeans and classic Converse canvas shoes, and the whole set was actually only more than 100 dollars. This combination was stolen from the original MV of the second-hand store in his mind, and since the apocalypse comes from the future, and the future is definitely fashionable, it must be right to wear it like this.

Hayden let him into the recording studio, which was not much bigger than the one of Old Joe Music, and the layout was exactly the same, but the equipment was much more advanced, and it was definitely enough to be responsible for the current main singer auditions.

"Come on, let me introduce you, this is Lisa."

Standing in the control room was a young Caucasian woman, middle-to-top-looking, wearing a standard white-collar women's suit, she was holding a thick file in her hand, and she could only nod and smile, "Hi APLUS, I'm Lisa, and I'll be in charge of all the paperwork and coordination during the production of the single." ”

"This is Isco ......"

In front of the mixer sat a young white man with a rock 'n' roll fan, he flicked his long hair, looked back at Song Ya, and then supported the ground with his feet, let the roller office chair glide for some distance, came to Song Ya, and stretched out his hand expressionlessly.

"Hello." Song Ya smiled and shook hands with him.

Isco slipped back to the mixer.

"The one inside is the keyboardist Dilley......"

In the recording studio, a white man wearing headphones and playing FXXXYOU accompaniment smiled kindly at Song Ya.

Song Ya beckoned, "So what is today's work arrangement?" He asked Lisa.

"Today is the first round of auditions, and here's the list." Lisa took a document from her bosom and handed it to Song Ya.

"So many people?" The list was very long, full of three pages, and Song Ya took it and counted it, and there were more than seventy names, and there was no Millajovovich in it......

"What's going on?" Whether you want to soak Mira or induce Mira's mother to rebel, you need to put pressure on the other party first, and put Mila in the first round of the competitive audition, which is exactly the strategy agreed upon by Song Yazao and Hayden.

Hayden tilted his head and motioned to go out to speak, and Song Ya walked with him to a no-man's land outside, "Mira's mother found a relationship and moved her to the second round. Hayden named the same executive who had competed with Daniel for the position of general manager.

"Daniel is just a vice president, SBK's internal relationships are more complicated than we thought, and the list has changed a lot in my hands, not only Mira......" Hayden went back to Lisa and asked for another document, "Look at this second round audition list. ”

In addition to Daniel's preferred female singer and the list of three people who had been scheduled to accompany him, five handwritten names in different handwriting were added below, and Milla Jovovich was one of them.

“FXXX！” Song Ya's good mood when he came was all ruined, "Damn office politics." ”

"No way, office politics is indispensable for this kind of big company." Hayden said: "Fortunately, it doesn't affect the big picture. ”

"I hate to get caught up in the boring vortex of office politics again." Song Ya rubbed her brows in annoyance.

"Again?" Hayden could tell what was wrong with the sentence.

Hey? Why should I say again? Song Ya shook his head, "It's just a slip of the tongue, there are too many people on the list in this first round, is SBK's appeal so strong?" ”

"This is New York, since Madonna made a huge amount of money for Warner, countless record companies want to have their own trend DIVA (diva), SBK signed Mila the year before last probably has a similar idea, Mila is beautiful, born as a child star, has a certain status in the fashion industry, and can sing, if it weren't for her bad temper and greedy parents, she would indeed be a good seedling. There is a serious oversupply of white girls on the market right now, and any song that suits them will be snatched up. ”

Hayden nodded his finger at the names added to the second-round list, "This song of yours is not difficult to sing and has a relationship with equality, and the female swear song has a good topicality...... Again, this is New York, and when the news is released, there are always some people with good backgrounds who will see the opportunity one step ahead. ”

"Oversupply...... Song Ya shook her head and smiled, "You talk about this like human trafficking." ”

"Don't you know, when there are a bunch of nobodies under the agent's hands, it does feel like human trafficking, and it's the kind that can't be sold." Hayden smiled wryly, he had a lot to say about it.

The two didn't think of a good solution, so they had to go back to the control room.

"Section 4, can you handle it more simply?" Isco was talking into the microphone with a suggestion.

"OK, I'll try again." Dillay in the studio is back playing.

Song Ya's face was gloomy, Isco ignored himself, and dared to criticize his song in front of him.

He went out again and slowly wandered around the SBK, trying to calm his mind.

"Give up, your girl is black, she can't make it through the first round." Walking to a secluded place, a man's words caught his attention.

"You idiot, don't you know? The songwriter and producer of this song is APLUS from Chicago, who is black! According to the principle of one drop of blood. Another woman retorted confrontally, "Your girl will have no fun, there are so many white girls here today." ”

"What! APLUS IS BLACK!? The man's tone was visibly flustered.

"It's time for you to update your feed." The woman triumphed, "Negroes will definitely favor their own people." ”

Taking advantage of the fact that the two agents didn't notice him, Song Ya turned around and left.

"Enough, I hate this feeling that everything is out of control!" He rushed to the studio and pulled Hayden out, and said in a deep voice, "You can help me make another appointment with Daniel." ”

"Hey...... You are still young, and you will get used to the complexity of society after experiencing it a few more times, and everything is a process of compromise. Hayden laughed instead, he misunderstood what Song Ya meant, and played the first round list in his hand, "For the more than seventy girls in this list, you are already a big shot, and whoever you like, as long as you say a word, no, a hint, most of them will strip naked and climb into your bed." I went to the waiting room to see it, and among those who came in the morning alone were those who looked and figured like Mira, so why be so inflexible? ”

“BULLSHXT！”

Song Ya burst into foul language, "The real big man is who thinks about X, who X is, and if X is not enough, will it be the big man who can only adapt another target?" Give your call! ”

He rushed Hayden to call, and he also dialed Old Joe's number, "Boss, are you already running publicity?" That one...... Is Eric available? I'd like to borrow him for a while...... Okay, thank you boss. ”

The next day, standing at the door and looking at the back of Isco who was leaving with the cardboard box, Song Ya said to Eric beside him, "I handed this place over to you, Eric. ”

"Thank you APLUS, thank you for giving me this opportunity." Excited, Eric walked into the control room and started playing with the mixer.

"The equipment here is very new, you can use it, right?"

"No problem, it's just a few new features, and I'm getting used to it quickly."

"By the way, you shouldn't touch any of the girls here without my permission, this is New York, not Chicago Southside."

"I understand."

"Good."

Ending the conversation, Song Ya looked at the list in his hand with satisfaction, Mira's name reappeared in the first round of auditions, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he sneered slightly.

"By the way, you'll see MTV later." Eric reminded.

There was a small TV in the control room, Song Ya turned it on on time, twisted to the MTV channel, and the familiar music sounded, it was his own song 'second-hand store'.
