"You're diva, I'm a b-list, I'm not happy to have won, right?" Song Ya smiled back and sneered, "The song that reached the top is from your last album. Isn't the second album still hard? ?"
The microphone fell silent.
"What?" Song Ya realized that he had said something wrong, "The second master's announcement issued a problem?"
"Hmm..."
Mariah Carey snorted dissatisfiedly, "Sales momentum is not very good."
"Don't mind, it will be okay, just like your first degree, it will not be fully used until after Grammy. I guess the situation in the second degree will be similar. As long as you seize the opportunity, sales will improve."
Song Ya comforted her.
Mariah Carey’s second specialization is too dazzling. Song Ya was very curious when recording epirestateofd together. He couldn’t help but rejoice that he chose to insist on recording according to his own ideas and didn’t let her use the extremely difficult dazzle again in the chorus. Techniques of singing.
The two chatted for a while, Song Ya hung up the phone and turned on the TV, paying attention to the latest development of the vanilla ice incident.
Vanilla Ice’s crisis public relations are also very fast. Yesterday he took the initiative to apologize to the public sincerely in front of the camera lens, and then said that he would stop the sales of his memoirs, and made excuses and clarifications for the discrepancies between the memoirs and the facts.
‘Let’s look at this paragraph. ’
It’s the small TV station under cbs~www.mtlnovel.com~, the host replayed Vanilla Ice’s explanation about his iceicebaby sampling Queen’s song underpressure,’ he said he got permission from the copyright owner, so let’s Looking back...'
This TV station didn’t know where it got the first edition iceicebaby of vanilla ice the year before. At that time, he had not been discovered by Daniel. He released an album containing the song on a small record company. The promotion and sales were very unsuccessful. Leave any impression on the outside world.
The process of discovering second-hand stores was almost the same as Daniel's. He discovered the potential of Vanilla Ice's song, signed him to sbk, and re-packaged the album. With Daniel's invincible publicity ability, he won the iceicebaby and ' The huge success of'To the Limit' album.
The time to purchase the sampling rights from the copyright owner of underpressure was after he signed the sbk, that is to say, when the first iceicebaby version was released, the song was definitely infringing.
In fact, it’s nothing. Small record companies are also rappers. It’s common to sample other people’s music without buying a sampling license because of economic problems. It’s not that you don’t want to buy it, but you really can’t afford it. This is somewhat excusable. , And later sbk also made up.
But the key point is not in the copyright, but Vanilla Bing lied again in the apology statement about her lying...
This error is fatal, and it is impossible for Motura to let it go.
Chicago 1990 Chapter 146: New York Real Estate
In a short period of time, Vanilla Bing doesn’t want to show up anymore. A singer who has sold more than 10 million singles and albums last month was still at the peak of his life. He went on business and published his autobiography. Now he can only get through his agency. People made a painless re-statement, claiming to focus on the next album, and then disappear from the public eye.
If the man behind Mariah Carey is really Daniel, then his ability in this area is simply not worthy of Motula's disciples.
According to Song Ya's current knowledge, Daniel's ability in publicity is not necessarily better than that of Motura. Daniel's promulgation methods are changeable and creative, and he likes to go slant. For example, he helped De Klerk touch the South African government, which is a magical touch. However, the disadvantage is that it is easy to over-consuming the singer's audience and lead to lack of support.
Motura is a typical traditional record publisher. The publicity and distribution have taken the path of being dignified and straightforward. They have cultivated singers very solidly. For example, Mariah Carey, who was discovered by him in 1988, began to spend money to cultivate various In terms of quality, after debuting two years later, he is already a mature star with perfect singing voice, steady typhoon, and able to accurately deal with the difficulties of various media.
Of course, Motula also has shortcomings. It may be because of his long-term high-level relationship. He was unable to negotiate conditions such as a low profile with Song Ya, who was a poor boy in Nancheng at the time, to win the old man with a gang background. Joe and the like. Therefore, it is Daniel, not Motura, who can unearth the jade from Iceicebaby, second-hand stores, Wilson sisters, and Phillips in the garbage dump of losers.
"Spike Lee sent you an invitation to attend the Jungle Fever premiere on the 7th of next month, are you going?" Hayden found him.
"He is so embarrassed to find me?"
Song Ya was a little strange, "Why did it premiere again, haven't we seen it in Los Angeles last time?"
"I don't know, it may be a small-scale screening to meet the conditions of participation in some film exhibitions?"
Hayden said: "This time he was nominated for the Cannes Humanitarian Award, the Fabich Award, and the Palme d’Or, with great momentum. Samuel Jackson also won the Best Supporting Actor in Cannes. The box office is guaranteed, at least not. You will lose money. After all, with Universal Pictures’ investment of 1400, the scale of the premiere will not be worthy of your coffee position."
"Not going."
Song Ya didn't bother to get involved with that big mouth anymore, "What should I do if I go and he arranges it again?"
"Don't you want to make friends with people in Hollywood? There will be many celebrities and practitioners present at that time." Hayden reminded.
"There is no shortage of him. In July, the premiere of the Block Boys with Escuber, the premiere of Mira’s Return to the Blue Reef in August, and the premiere of Halle Berry’s Ultimate Vanguard in December, all invited Up me."
Song Ya broke his fingers and calculated, "I will appear in Hollywood frequently in the second half of the year."
"That's all right."
Hayden dismissed the idea of continuing to persuade, "It's time for you to go back to New York, and the house will wait for you to sign, and the New York City authorization contract has been negotiated."
"Back..."
Song Ya shook his head and smiled bitterly. There is no way, the focus of the record industry is still in New York, and his time in New York is increasing.
When he went to New York, he first signed a licensing agreement with New York City and a contract for a New Year's Eve performance in Times Square, with a total price of one million.
However, the cooperation with a certain clothing brand's pants broke up. His family has no intention of introducing a joint fund share, and is only willing to pay a sum of money to buy it out, and even Hayden's suggestion to find Song Ya as an endorsement is rejected. His family is a civilian brand. , I don’t like Song Ya’s style. Just so, Song Ya still thinks his style is not enough.
The cooperation with other brands has basically come to an end. Basically, the prices have not been negotiated. The clothing industry is full of imitations and the product manufacturing cycle is short. However, more than half a month has been wasted. Similar styles have begun to appear on the market, many even From garment factories in Mexico and other Latin American regions, the value of this pair of trousers is rapidly losing, and Song Ya has missed a very good opportunity to make money.
