Chapter 156 (1/2)

”You have six songs now. Are you going to make a mini album?”

Outside motura's office at Sony's Columbia Records headquarters, Walter and Sonya are chatting in a whisper.

”I have to think it over.”

A mini album usually has five or six songs, which is exactly the capacity of a high-density vinyl record. The advantage is that it can make a profit first. If it is operated well, it can also warm up for future albums. The disadvantage is that it will divert the buying of albums, which may lead to the failure of both sides.

According to the examples of singers in the past, the latter one is more likely, but the sky is not stable. Ghost knows when the next few songs will come. For song ya, it's not bad for song ya to get the real benefits first by issuing Mini albums.

”Don't think about it too long. It's July, and MJ's first album will be on sale in October.” Walter reminds me.

”I know.” Song Ya nods.

At this time, the door of motura's office was pushed open and Lee Phillips, the lawyer in charge of MJ's distribution business, came out.

”Don't play tricks with me! Lee Motura roared angrily from inside, ”I must see his first MV before August!”

Lee Phillips did not reply, nodded politely to Sonya and Walter and strode away.

The rumor outside is true. Although MJ is under motura, motura has weak control over him.

Both of them pretended not to have heard what mantura had just said, and opened the door with a smile as usual.

“FXXK！”

Motura is pouring wine with his neck up, but he has no intention of covering up. ”One agent, four lawyers. I have to communicate with the singers, and I have to pass on the message through them!”

Song Ya and Walter looked at each other, and when nothing happened, ”that's his own album. He should know it in his mind.” Walter advised.

MJ's new album this time is also the first album he released after he transferred to motura. According to past experience, his album will continue to sell well for several years, and with the global tour concert, it is a big business worth at least hundreds of millions of dollars. How can motura not worry.

”Hoo.”

Motura gasped and put the glass back on the table. ”His shitty lawyers and agents haven't agreed yet.” He waved his hand. ”Forget it. Let's talk about us.”

Walter presented song Ya's ”trumpet” single cover and some documents to him.

The cover is still song Ya's favorite unified style. The brass color blocks of wind instruments occupy most of the area, and then in the corner is the silhouette of Songya playing the trumpet. The cover of the last single of Empire State of mind was dominated by the color blocks after the virtual skyscrapers in New York City. In the corner, there is a silhouette of song Ya and Maria Kelly singing against each other. There is a piano outline behind them.

”Mr. motura, when will the massive promotion of Empire State of mind begin?” Song Ya asked, taking advantage of motura's signature on the document.

“emmm……”

Motura stopped writing and pondered for a few seconds. ”It's a little troublesome. This song has a good response in the professional media and music critics, but it can't be sold out of the big New York area. I've called back the publicity department's plan and wait for them to make something that I'm satisfied with.”

”All right.”

Song Ya agrees with him. It's really difficult to sell this New York single to all rice.

Motura signed quickly and the two left.

”Is MJ's own lawyer at odds with his agent?” Song Ya remembers that at the Grammy celebration dinner earlier this year, MJ's lawyer Branca and agent sandy Glenn had a fight in front of him.

Walter chuckled. ”It's MJ's art of management. Do you want to see your agent and lawyer work together?” He asked.
