Chicago 1990

Chapter 53

Song Ya is not afraid. This is a private school with a strict academic style, and he is in an advanced mathematics class. Those who can come must be children with good grades. If Brad dared to do it first, he would not come here.

The teachers here are also much better than the previous schools, regardless of their level, at least they can manage classroom discipline.

After class, I walked up to Brad who had stared at me for a class, and stabbed him, "Hey, just kidding, don't take it to heart." This guy is a paper tiger, he can only sit there and kill with his eyes. Didn't even dare to stand up!

"They are all good students. It seems that I can be regarded as a thorn here."

Song Ya sneered secretly, and pretended to pass by Brad's little follower's desk casually, grabbed all the books on his desk to the ground, and officially established her dominance of the class.

The club activities in this school are also much richer than the previous one. In addition to art and sports, there are also various scientific, cultural and social activities clubs. However, Song Ya still chose the orchestra. After all, according to his musical achievements, the teacher will definitely give high marks for lying down and playing.

As for sports, he discovered that the school has a squash court. The advantage of this sport is that it can be played alone, which just suits his personality that likes to be alone. Forget about table tennis, although there is a small table tennis club in the school, but the members are only a few weak girls, and they can't stop a random smash, which is boring.

After two weeks of peaceful school life, the accountant Song Asheng called, and it was time to go to SBK to split the money!

Song Ya has been spending money during this period, buying a car, renting a new house, paying for the living expenses of the five people, Emily's tuition fees, and spending on Mira. After being notified, he immediately sent Song Asheng to New York.

On the weekend, he flew to New York in person and came to the familiar SBK headquarters.

Downstairs, he saw Tony, 'Silencer', AK, and Little Lowry following the Iron Triangle who were smoking in the corner.

"Yo!"

Several people bumped their fists to say hello, and exchanged old-fashioned greetings, "Go in, I'll be waiting for you inside, Daniel's office." AK let him into the building.

Stepping into Daniel's office, only Lowry, Pablo, and Joe were there.

"Hey, APLUS! Come here, come here!"

Old Qiao excitedly pulled him to sit beside him, "Today is a good day for harvest, kid."

Little Lowry was still lying half-lying, and Song Ya stretched out her fist to touch him.

"APLUS, you have to support us later, since Daniel has canceled the release of the remixed version of the second-hand shop dance music, then we have to force him to do a good job of promoting the re-release of the Lowry II album..."

Pablo said: "SBK has officially launched Vanilla Ice's album 'To the Extreme'. I'm afraid they will give up on us in order not to let their own people fight. If it drags on, Lowry and Joe have accumulated popularity will gradually disappear.”

Song Ya knows this. Pablo has talked with him on the phone several times in the past two weeks. Vanilla Ice is the son of SBK. It is unrealistic to change the pace of his album promotion and speed up the album of Lowry II. The pre-publicity of the album will inevitably lead to the confrontation of the two albums at the same time. SBK can't agree, Pablo is a bit too whimsical.

"I can't influence Daniel, and the power of life and death of my song 'To De Klerk' is still in the hands of SBK, don't count on me. Of course, I won't help Daniel deal with you, you just treat it like me It's gone." He spread his hands, indicating that the two would not help each other.

"That song of yours is very good, Flower Q~ Flower Q~haha, you must know that most black rap swear words are modal particles, and there are not many people who are as bold as you to mention such an important position." Old Qiao chatted cheerfully , the album sells well and he can make a lot of money,

But right now, he is most concerned about the second-hand store single. After all, Daniel put him on an equal footing with Little Lowry in this single, so he wouldn't rashly break up with Daniel.

Song Ya heard that he has had friction with Pablo and Lowry recently, and the last bit of affection between the two parties is gone, and all that is left is business. The general context of the matter is as follows:

During the months-long promotional itinerary, due to old Joe's physical problems, he had to reduce a lot of "acupuncture" sessions, and little Lowry's income was affected. Judging by his young and vigorous appearance after he became popular, it is naturally not What kind of good would you say to old Joe.

In order to solve his own physical problems, Old Joe brought up the old story again, and wanted to recruit old Morgan, who had even worse physical strength, as a shield to participate in the recording of the second-hand store studio version not long ago. Of course, Pablo and Little Lowry refused to do it. , thus intensifying the contradiction between the two sides.

Later, the studio version was not recognized by the market. Old Joe complained that it was the lack of old Morgan's participation in the saxophone, and the lack of improvement in Little Lowry's rap performance, which led to the encounter with Waterloo. Little Lowry naturally refused to admit it. Another quarrel broke out.

During the quarrel, Little Lowry accidentally revealed the truth, saying that he would not choose Old Joe Music for the next contract renewal, but would switch to a major record company.

He signed a five-year contract with Lao Qiao. The first album Lao Qiao Music must be produced and released, and the second album will be released based on the performance of the first album. Lao Qiao trained him for two years, and it took almost half a year for the first album to be released. Since the results of the first album can definitely meet the conditions set in the contract, there are still more than two years left in the contract period, and Lao Qiao has to give him another one. Send a post.

But if Little Lowry doesn't plan to renew his contract, one can imagine the quality of the second album produced by Lao Qiao Music.

Pablo just kept on doing nothing. Since Little Lowry's slip of the tongue made Old Joe take precautions, he wanted to find a major record company to buy out the remaining two years of Lowry's contract. The second album is not in your It's over, let's live separately.

Old Qiao said that he can leave if he wants to, so take the money!

The two sides are currently at a stage where they cannot agree on a price.

This kind of shit has nothing to do with Song Ya, the songwriter. He made up his mind before he came. And he clearly remembered that Daniel's evaluation of this album was rubbish, and it was completely impossible for SBK to spend a lot of energy on it. Pablo and Little Lowry were doomed to fail.

Of course, the three parties have common interests in forcing SBK to settle the accounts as soon as possible. As soon as Daniel came in, they tacitly put on a common front.

Secretary Daniel put several thick documents in front of the three of them.

Song Asheng, Xiao Luo Rui, Lao Qiao, and financial personnel from SBK came in one after another, filling the sofa.

Song Ya roughly flipped through it. This is SBK's settlement document for the sales of 1.5 million singles. Due to different sales prices such as discounts, events, and publicity releases, the entire account is very complicated. In order to prevent SBK from "stealing sales", There must be more in-depth audit work, and it is impossible to play without professionals.

Song Ya can get nearly 10% of the single sales revenue, 1.5 million sales, and the average single price is about $6, which is about a million dollars. Of course, the specific calculation method is not so simple. In fact, this figure cannot be reached. The specific amount on the document is more than 930,000 dollars, with some zeros and some wholes.

"Don't worry, Boss, it's all right." Song Asheng whispered to Song Ya.

Song Ya looked at Little Lowry and Old Qiao. They were already signing, so they also signed their names one by one.

At that time, I sold 5,000 knives to Lowry for 2% of the royalties. Now the money is worth nearly 200,000 knives. This is only the settlement figure when 1.5 million sales were made. Wait for the next 1.5 million Ten thousand, it will be nearly two hundred thousand dollars again.

Five thousand to four hundred thousand, Song Ya felt a little sour.

Daniel has already poured several glasses of champagne and handed them to everyone in person, "It's a pleasant cooperation."

"Happy cooperation!"

As the producer, Lao Qiao received the most money today. Song Ya didn't see the specific amount, but estimated that there would be five million. He took a sip, "I hope the next 1.5 million share will come as soon as possible."

"Yes, triple platinum is not a big problem." Daniel has brought a huge amount of income to SBK by relying on this business. Three-thirds, minus the cost of publicity and distribution, it is still a big profit, "A very classic win-win situation, cheers for our successful cooperation!" He drank the wine in his glass.

"Cheers!" Everyone finished together, Pablo winked at Lao Qiao and Song Ya, "Next, SBK's release of Lowry II's album..."

"The publicity efforts are scheduled for December."

Daniel didn't mean to beat around the bush at all, "Our SBK's main energy in the next two months will be on Vanilla Ice's To the Extreme album."

"But..." Pablo didn't want to give up yet.

Song Ya put the wine glass back on the table, "Let's go." He directly led Song Asheng to leave.
