Chapter 407 Resignation
In any case, NCSAMosaic hasn't even released the 1.0 beta version yet, "I'll wait until June, and I'll see the situation." He saw Taraji gesturing to himself with his mobile phone, so he ended the conversation with Riser.
"Motura," Taraji said.
"Hello, Mr. Motura."
Motura was very annoyed about Mariah Carey buying Tribeca real estate, but not for that this time, "APLUS, we just cooperated with the New York police to destroy a pirated cassette warehouse in Brooklyn, and you have 50,000 cassettes Your first album accounted for more than 10,000 copies." He said: "According to this ratio, your number of pirated cassettes in Quanmi is already very high. There is no way but to advance the schedule for the release of genuine cassettes."
The price of the cassette is low, five dollars, and it will be discounted every now and then, "Okay, I will listen to your Mr. Motura." Song Ya agreed, and piracy has been rampant for a long time, even in Times Square at night. Many of them are specifically for sale, and since they have been targeted by pirates, they should start selling the genuine ones no matter how cheap they are, so there is nothing to worry about.
Moreover, the sales volume of his first album has already exceeded 7 million, and the rest of his historical status still depends on cassette tapes. This is the same for everyone in the record industry.
"OK." Motura hung up the phone.
The current relationship between the two has entered a trough again after Song Ya chose Newman as Fergie's manager, and Mariah Carey bought a house. They are too lazy to be polite to each other.
But as long as Motura doesn't find out the real relationship between himself and Mariah Carey, I believe he can still treat it rationally with interests first. Now that A+ Records has released two albums for Sony Columbia Records, one of his own has sold more than 10 million Shenzhuan, Fergie has at least a double-platinum album. This kind of achievement is definitely beneficial to him, so the cooperation is still considered a tacit understanding.
"What else is there to invest in..."
Continuing to fret about investing, there's a vague Mosaic browser goal for the web, but it's not something that can be done right away, "the rest..."
He remembered the AllMusic database mentioned by Andrew and Henry before. Has this kind of music information database that completely puts data online has any ideas?
Whether there is or not, ask the price first, and as always, call Delay and ask him to check the situation first.
And then what? I really can't think of any other investment direction. I bought a lot of computer software and hardware stocks, and invested in a lot of industrial companies. But why is it so difficult to replicate the success of DTS?
"Taraji, when is the premiere of Jurassic Park?"
By the way, the last time I heard Catherine say that the construction of DTS theaters has been rolled out on a large scale. Universal Pictures has not completed the goal of 1,000 theaters requested by Spielberg, but the distance is not far away. Nine hundred companies, this income is a very good tonic for DTS's plan to go public. Even if it can't go public in the short term, it will be more confident in the future technology competition with Dolby, Sony and other companies that continue to burn money.
"June eleventh."
Taraji found the schedule, "Catherine suggested that you don't go to the Los Angeles premiere, but participate in the simultaneous premiere here in Chicago, the effect will be better. Then there are two Harley's films in August and September this year. For the premiere, she said that you promised her that she would go to Los Angeles, in October, for the premiere of Xue Linfen's Deadly Instinct, and you also told me to arrange the itinerary."
It was all agreed a long time ago, "Isn't Xuelin still having a movie Three Hearts released this year?" Song Ya asked.
"She and the director had a falling out over exposure, so..." Taraji shrugged.
"I see."
I have indeed heard Xue Linfen mention this, so there is no need to help the Three Hearts crew. A trip to his own A+ label.
"Hey, Al, Dion, Common..." In the deep-sea recording studio, Al and others are recording his Ain'tCha,
The Apocalypse Movie dances to a song from the soundtrack of My Life.
The quality of this song is very average, and the accompaniment is relatively mediocre. He simply let Al and the others change the lyrics, so it has been recorded until now.
"Yo!"
The three people in the recording studio greeted him one after another. The original song was sung by three people. Delay has gradually faded out of the recording studio to concentrate on the management of A+ Audio Company, so Al simply brought Dion and Common to join him.
"Hey, Eric, Big A." He bumped fists again with Eric and Big A in front of the mixer.
Because of Old Joe's entrustment, he finally accepted Eric, the original tuner of Old Joe Records, and he is still in charge of tuning, but basically he is not allowed to participate in the company's singer's record business, which is Dion Wilson's territory. Only when the recording studio is rented out, let him serve the singer who rented the recording studio or the money owner who just came to play for fun.
Of course, acquaintances like Eric and Big A like to enter the control room to join in the fun when their own people are recording songs.
"Ayer's first album will be released in July?" Big A asked.
"This is the temporary plan." Song Ya nodded, "What do you think? Have you heard all the songs?"
"They're all brothers, and I'm not telling lies, they're just average."
After all, Big A has been a well-known DJ for so many years, so he still has at least some judgment, "The song you gave has limited strengths, and it is far from London Bridge."
"How can there be so many London Bridges?"
Al's fame grew from WhereIsTheLove to WhereIsTheLove, and he became popular all the way. In the hip-hop circle in Chicago, he can already be regarded as a person. If he wants to release his first album, he will help him release it with his own budget and give him a song.
"That's the same thing." As onlookers, Big A and the others can't fault it. Al's talent is limited, and it's far from being comparable to Common, and Common doesn't have as many resources as him.
"Have you been concerned about the recent news about the gangster rap scene? 2PAC, they are becoming popular very quickly. His and Janet Jackson's movies will be released in July, and the new monopoly is also selling well." Big A said: "There are also Dre and Ace. Cooper’s albums have exploded one after another, huh! Now that the west coast has completely overwhelmed the east coast with M-Fxxk, I know there is nothing wrong with supporting NWA, and Dre and Escube are the souls of NWA.”
A few people helped Al and the others to record songs while chatting about the music industry. Big A is a loyal fan of NWA. After Derry turned out of NWA and reconciled with Cooper, he completely let go of his psychological struggle and stood up to them. On the one hand, the big E has not been maintained very much.
"Their records can't sell APLUS, our Chicago rap is the strongest." Eric suddenly flattered.
"I mean gangsta rap." Big A gave him a sideways look.
"Don't say anything like that to the outside world, we don't compare with them, and I don't mix in that circle." Song Ya also warned him.
"Okay, I got it." Eric is very honest now. He is actually the oldest with his qualifications. In the end, he left his side on a whim, and went back to enjoy the commercial show with Little Lowry and Old Joe. Now he is coming back , It's nothing anymore, Big A dares to show him face casually, but he will never do this to Al.
"Boss." Taraji called Song Ya to the office, "Catherine is looking for you, she seems very angry."
"What's wrong?"
Song Ya picked up the microphone, "APLUS, what happened to Xue Linfen you recommended? The crew is about to gather and suddenly resign!? Mr. Spielberg is very upset!" she said.
"Resignation? I don't know?" Song Ya was stunned, giving up such a good starring opportunity? Didn't you notify yourself in advance?
"Ask her, I'll give you..."
Catherine paused, "Six hours!"
"Okay, I'll contact her right away."
Song Ya hurriedly called Xue Linfen's mobile phone, which seemed to be turned off, "Tim, what's going on? Why did Xue Lin resign from the modern stone family? Where is she?" He called Xue Linfen's agent again.
"Uh, I can't disclose the details. Anyway, she doesn't want to act anymore. We just informed Amblin Entertainment." Tim replied.
"What are you doing!?"
Song Ya was very upset, Xue Linfen's decision was too contemptuous of herself, and finally gave her the chance to audition, and it was the female lead of the 40 million production, Harley's saliva was about to drip, but she said she would not act if she didn't act. Play, but also play disappear! Why didn't I see that she was such a willful woman before!
"Ask her to call me back immediately!" Hang up directly.
Then the bell rang, "Well, it's still Mr. APLUS." It was still Tim, "You have to believe Miss Finn, she is not the kind of little girl who doesn't care about her importance, she must have her reasons for resigning."
"Where is she!? In Three Hearts, or the Fatal Instinct crew!?"
"She's finished those two shows, and she's out of the country now," Tim said.
"Where did you go?" Song Ya asked angrily.
"Sorry, I don't know, and she doesn't want anyone to know."
