Chapter 208 (1/2)
This wave of self-expression is not bad. Just after VMA is over, it is the gap between Prince and MJ's new single. Attracted by the news that aplus is disillusioned and about to fade out of the pop music circle, the public once again turn their attention to the villa outside Hyde Park.
”Since Frank's disappearance, Mr. aplus has been excessively concerned and interpreted by the media for a long time, as well as various irresponsible rumor attacks. He is deeply tired. Now he just wants to fade out of the public's sight for a while, rest temporarily and recharge himself. As for whether or not he will quit the pop music circle, Mr. aplus has not made a final decision. In any case, he said that the experience of pop music creators and singers over the past year is a valuable harvest and memory in his life
As song Ya's spokesman, Hamlin held a simple press conference outside the villa.
”May I ask if his intention to withdraw is related to the recently rumored dispute between the record companies?” A reporter asked.
”I have no comment.” Hamlin replied.
”Little Lori recently released a diss song...”
”Well, I won't answer such questions today. Thank you for your cooperation.”
”Was that symphony written by aplus himself? As far as I know, he is not seventeen. Is it too early? ”
”Mozart began to compose music when he was four years old. There is nothing too early in this industry...”
After the press conference, the response of the media was good, and they all began to feel sorry for song ya. After all, it was a great injustice to let a popular singer quit playing. For the first time, the wind outside began to be unfavorable to motura.
”Motura forced away the talented creators, leaving only four famous songs, and one of them has not been published...”
The potential family is also much more positive than before. Babyface is the first one. This time, he simply visited the house with his partner, L.A.REID. He repeated media comments, ”this time, you've made him a little embarrassed.”
Babyface, who won the last battle over Donnie brewston, was happy to see motura eat. ”Can we go to school and have a close look at your new symphony? If we can really work together, maybe we can put it into the soundtrack of the movie
”Do you really want me to make 30 million for laface records?”
Song Ya felt the sincerity of each other, but had doubts about the strength of their company. ”In addition, you have to help me get those six singles back from motura.”
”We can't, of course. When that happens, alista records will also be involved. You know, our laface records belong to allista, and Whitney Houston is also signed by this record company. She is very interested in you...” Babyface said.
”Why don't we get in the car and talk?” 50. A. Reid did not speak during the whole process. He has been observing song Ya silently. Compared with babyface, he has a much better relationship with motura. He has cooperated many times in his career, and his attitude is somewhat ambiguous.
”Yes, please.” Song Ya and the two set out for the school.
”But alista has just been hit hard, right? I remember that milli Vanilli's, who had just been involved in the scandal, was under alista records. ” Song Ya is still worried.
”It's just a small problem. Alista belongs to RCA, and RCA belongs to BMG.” Babyface patiently explained the background of his record company, ”as one of the six major record companies, you will not doubt the strength of BMG?”
”How can it be more complicated than feudal enfeoffment, my Lord's Lord, Lord...” Song Ya wryly smile: ”so you also represent BMG to come?”
”Almost. BMG is very large and has many brands. We can only represent our own brand and allista records.”
Chatting and chatting, the party came to the school and watched the rehearsal for nearly two hours, ”very good.” 50. A. Reid carefully read all song Ya's music. ”Maybe you're a good musician in Hollywood.”
”Come on, you can all package the soundtrack production of Hollywood blockbusters, and I have only one little work now.” Song Ya is still aware of the other side's weight, and this is not intended to be modest.
50. A. Reid and babyface took time to discuss, and they made several phone calls and came back to make a formal condition: ”alista owns 50% ownership of a + records and 10-year distribution rights, and two plus one of your five years is jointly produced by a + and laface records.”
This condition was beyond song Ya's imagination. He immediately refused, ”I'm sorry, it's a buy it now price. First come, first served. I don't want to participate in a long-term negotiation.”
”Well, let's go back and discuss it.” Two talented producers and record company owners left in disappointment.
Then David Geffen called on behalf of MCA records. He inquired in detail about the current competition for Songya and said that it was possible to make an offer at any time, but it seemed impossible to match song Ya's will completely.”Aplus, is that true what you said to the media? Do you really want to quit pop music? ”
In the evening, Maria Kelly also called. ”You can't just give up your music career. I can't bear it. I want to talk to Tommy about you.”
”No, Mimi, I was trying to put some pressure on Tommy, just because of the business. You know, don't get involved. I know it.”
