Samuel first carefully inquired about Song Ya's assets and liabilities, and then took Song Asheng's rough statistics of the sales of the four singles I Feel It Coming, Remember The Name, Empire State of Mind, and Trumpet, and multiplied them by a simple coefficient of record industry account sharing within Coopers, "According to the statistics of Accountant Song, the total global sales of your four singles are as high as 8 million copies?" How is this possible? According to this calculation, your personal royalties and singers and producers can be divided into nearly 9 million dollars, and your A+ Records as a production company can get more than 20 million dollars, and A+ Records is wholly owned by you......"

He turned around and exchanged glances with his entourage, "I don't listen to hip-hop music much, do you care?" ”

A group of white elites shook their heads, "Remember The Name, I know, won the Billboard singles chart for weeks." One of the youngest male accountants said.

"MR. APLUS, IS YOUR ACCOUNTANT MISTAKEN? Eight million sales for four singles is difficult for even the top singers to achieve, which is usually possible for the top five best-selling albums of the year. "Samuel doesn't know anything about the record industry.

"That's why I found you, didn't I?"

Song Ya pointed to the wall, "I Feel It Coming's platinum record certification is hanging there, and I understand that the current sales volume in Mi alone is more than two million." Remember The Name is one of the hottest singles of the year, Billboard four top singles, stayed in the first five for eight weeks, the domestic sales of 3 million in the United States are stable, and when Sony Columbia and I were still in the honeymoon phase, they revealed that the final global sales will exceed 5 million. Empire State of Mind, Motura personally told me that the sales in the New York area alone broke through the platinum line, and it was from that time that he estimated that he had already launched a plan to start with me, and the follow-up announcement of Empire State of Mind was pitiful, and the commercial performance opportunities were suppressed by him under the pretext of Mariah Carey's schedule problem......"

Samur's eyes changed when he looked at Song Ya, as if he was looking at a mountain of gold, "According to this calculation, wouldn't your future first college be a god specialty?" Can the sales volume be tens of millions? You know, the unit price of the album is much higher than the single, and the proportion of your personal and company together is extraordinarily high, if the album can be released smoothly......"

"Maybe Motura didn't expect this to happen when he signed with me."

Song Ya smiled bitterly, the book executive named Gao Shu said that in a capital jungle society like rice, people who don't grasp the opportunity will be ridiculed, if they let a newcomer share such a high income, and they can pat their butts and leave after the first monopoly is sold, the pressure on Motura will definitely be very great, especially if he chooses to switch to other record companies.

"But the premier contract you signed with him is also very problematic, if he chooses to freeze your premier album, he will only have to lose 5 million dollars, and you lose a music album with tens of millions of sales, which is about 50 million in revenue. If you agree to his conditions, you will directly get 30 million dollars, and the single income will be divided into 30 million, plus the 50 million shares of the first album in the near future, the bright road of billionaires is beckoning to you APLUS. Even if it was MJ, how many years did it take to achieve this achievement? And you, only used a specialty. ”

Samur's first reaction was to accept Motula's terms.

"But then I will be tied up for about seven years, and the independence and subsequent copyright of A+ Records will be gone." Song Ya retorted, "You also have to calculate my losses, the copyright of the song is transferred to Sony Music Copyright Company, and the follow-up income of A+ Records is all gone, this is not an album, but a three-plus-one album in seven years, plus all the song copyrights after A+ Records." ”

"Well...... Samuel buried his head in a simple calculation, "First of all, many singers have exhausted their talents in the first job, especially after the first job gets rich, they lose the motivation to struggle, and it is also a great risk for Motura to spend 30 million on the contract." And if you don't agree to his terms, your first college will be frozen, he will pay you 5 million, and the remaining 45 million will evaporate from the world. As for the part of the copyright of A+ Records, it is only a fixed income every year, and it will decrease year by year, and your own songwriter and singer rights are not affected by this acquisition. ”

Song Ya said: "This is the game, isn't it? If I would rather lose the 45 million, as a distribution company, he doesn't want to make a lot less money and lose both, or take a step back and we can achieve a win-win situation, and it depends on you whether you can make a good price here. I would never accept a seven-year contract, that's too long, and I'm not one to get rich and then stop there. ”

"Well, you're right, I'll get into Sony Columbia Records as soon as possible and fully audit your single sales, but ......," Samuel said, "I suggest you prepare as much liquidity as you can before I show up at their headquarters, as much as possible, because there may be an accident with your loans." ”

"We only have a little more than a million in liquidity." Song Asheng said: "The loanable part is 1 million A+ records, 4 million house mortgages, and 2.25 million yuan for A+ pedal companies. ”

"Which bank?"

"A+ Records and A+ Pedals are borrowed from First Bank of New Jersey, and the mortgage is from Bank of America." Song Asheng replied.

"I can get the mortgage from the Bank of China, as long as APLUS continues to supply, what is the situation of the First Bank of New Jersey, why do you want to borrow from such a small bank?" Samuel asked.

"Well, that's a long story, but I was ...... to buy the New Jersey-based Warren Brothers synthesizers, the predecessor of A+ Pedals I borrowed from them nearby, and the interest rate was very good. Song Ya replied.

"In short, we need to prepare for the most difficult things in advance."

Samuel carefully inquired about the allocation of all Song Ya's assets, Goodman also returned from London, Daniel's attitude was still very vague, Song Ya didn't want to wait, and signed a contract with Coopers the next day.

"What can we do with liquidity?" Song Asheng asked Song Ya, "They charge very expensive, and we have to put a sum of money into a special account to pay for working hours." ”

"It's a big deal to sell the house and land, and, Delay, take back the RV I hung up on the rental company, and call the big A and prepare the tour plan." Song Ya has no good way now, but to make money by going crazy.

"Do you want to hold dozens of fan meetings in Quanmi and collect some entrance fees or something?" Yeremov asked.

"Harvest the fans? Forget it, there's no rush yet. ”

Song Ya has no plans for the time being, "What is my fan base like?" ”

Yeremov asked Taraghi to bring the statistical table, "Most of them are young people under the age of thirty, about half and half in black and white, and women make up two-thirds, of course, women are more likely than men to participate in such organizations and fan activities, which does not explain anything." ”
