The style of this song is similar to that of the trumpet, but it’s more difficult to sing. The male singer has a few tails that are very sharp, "sohigh, sohigh...cough cough." Song Ya tried casually, as if reluctantly. Yes, after all, his singing skills have been improving, and singing with this kind of shrill voice has some advantages in age.
I asked for a cell phone from the old Mike and called Dile, "How is the decoration? Can the small recording studio be activated?"
"It's okay." Diley replied, "What about Dieng Wilson and CommonSense? You said you will meet them after Grammy."
"Are they waiting?" Song Ya asked.
"They seem to be hanging other companies, waiting to make a decision after talking with you, but it won't be too long." Dile replied.
"Well, I'll see them when I come back."
The Grammy Awards are over, and the rest are just unimportant awards. Song Ya’s busy schedule in the awards season has basically come to an end. There are a few things to do later: one is to decide whether to sign CommonSense, and the other is to record BeautifulGirls and WanttoWantMe's recording studio completed the version, and then returned to New York in early March to help Mariah Carey rehearse the EmpireState&nbind pure female version at the MTV unplugged concert, and go to Los Angeles on the 10th to participate in the Soul Train Music Festival held in the Holy Auditorium. At the same time, A+ Records, A+ Audio and Big A Radio officially entered the new office building.
The ten songs were still the last one, and he couldn't wait.
"Mimi, I'm back to Chicago, see you in the studio in a few days?"
He simply chose to go back to Chicago first, and he was always uncomfortable with those uncertainties.
"Hello."
Accompanied by Dile and Al, I met Dion Wilson and CommonSense in the company’s new building. Both of them were black. Dion Wilson was taught to be short and stout. Song Ya realized that he was actually at the party at his home. I have seen that his manners are no different from ordinary Chicago small and medium-sized DJs, while CommonSense is taller and thinner. The conversation is indeed well-educated, but both of them are still dressed in the street.
"Hey, APLUS, congratulations on your Grammy Annual Single Award. We admire you very much."
Dion Wilson got close.
The two parties talked about the contract while visiting the new building, "Thank you, do you have any doubts about my terms?" Song Ya asked.
"There's nothing wrong with me, the key is him." Dion Wilson pointed to CommonSense.
"I still want to retain certain production rights, and I heard that your company is completely independent? Just signed a distribution agreement with Sony Columbia Records, so that the other party will fully help with the distribution?" CommonSense asked two questions.
"Don't you have an agent?" Song Ya asked ~www.mtlnovel.com~ I don't think you brought anyone here. "
"Yes, but I think I'd better come to talk to you in person first." Although CommonSense is a rapper, his style is more like Quincy Jones, BABYFACE and other old-school black musicians. Although it is indeed a bit arrogant, Song Ya feels harmonious. This kind of cooperation should be able to rest assured a lot.
"Is such that……"
Song Ya stopped in the completed recording studio No. 1, "As a small record company, I don't want to sign too complicated contracts with subordinate singers, including the sharing of production rights. Then the release of Sony Columbia Records... indeed, I can’t guarantee that I will get better distribution resources than Sony’s Columbia Records label, but it’s not bad. As you can see, I won the Grammy Award yesterday. Their support for me is still quite enough. ."
His remarks are basically false, but it is enough to bluff the two in front of them, "I can increase the signing fee to 700,000."
The two looked at each other, "Well, let me go back and discuss with the agent." CommonSense concealed its tendency well.
"can."
The group continued to visit and walked to the unfinished large recording studio. All the sound-absorbing materials on the wall have been painted into the deep blue of the sea according to Song Ya’s idea. The high-priced design studio took advantage of the opportunity to move the entire recording studio. It has become a simple style, and the recording studio is very empty with a large area. A microphone is hung from the top without any extra microphone holders and the like.
"Wow, cool, it's great here."
Dion Wilson seemed to like the design of this studio very much. "Have you named this studio? APLUS."
"Of course, it's called Deep Sea."
Chicago 1990 Chapter 261: Recruit
After visiting the office building, Dion Wilson and CommonSense left. Looking at CommonSense's posture, they should use their own quotes to negotiate with other record companies.
"APLUS you should be pro-hot to them, so things will be easier to handle."
Al sent them downstairs and came back complaining.
Hug more, talk more about the family, like brothers? Song Ya didn't want to do this very much. CommonSense didn't mix the streets. The two greeted them by shaking hands just now.
"The 700,000 signing fee may still be a bit low." Dile also said.
"That's it, I bought a big A radio station for only half a million."
Taking advantage of these days’ free time, Song Ya began to interview and select more than a dozen employees recruited by the company. Chicago is the birthplace of HOUSE music. A+ audio company is very convenient to recruit talents. There is also technical assistance from DTS, which will soon reach The expected number of people. The publicity department Yeremov recruited two old subordinates from Columbia Pictures. In addition to finance, they were clerks and security guards with very low technical content. As for clerks, Song Ya recruited some well-educated staff in this section. African and Chinese women, so that the company does not appear too "white".
With the addition of the original ten people in his early years, Song Ya will have about thirty employees, if not counted as an A+ pedal company.
"A+ Records, A+ Audio, A+ Copyright and Asset Management companies spend more than two million yuan in wages and benefits each year, as well as charitable organizations under Susie’s name, because most of your donations and donations are transferred to this organization. As well as Susie and Connie’s pocket money, they spend about one million yuan each year. This is still the case when Fergie, the only customer of the economic company, has begun to make money. In addition, the publicity and operating expenses, and the payment to Gu Related commissions from Deman and Hamlin, Lockhard and Gardner, Wing Dao CPA, William Morris, and Song Asheng CPA..."
Song Asheng and Yongdao’s accountants came to check together, “You spent nearly four million on the decoration costs on this floor and the top equipment of the big recording studio, and the tax season in April is coming again.”
"I know."
Song Ya aligned with them one by one, "Have you found Fergie's assistant and bodyguard?"
"Figi’s sister recommended a woman from California and worked in Hollywood. Jimmy also agreed to let her be Fergie’s assistant. The bodyguard, driver and car were also taken care of. This is the bill." Song Asheng handed over several documents. "It's all company expenses of A+ Records."
"Well, depreciate the top equipment in the big studio a lot, so that I can handle the tax season more easily next year."
Song Yana’s experience in the cable TV industry is now selling.
"Yes." Yongdao's accountant nodded and agreed, "America Music Magazine's part of your 250,000 start-up funds will soon be burned. What do you plan to do with the follow-up funds?"
"Wow, it's so fast..."
Song Ya sighed, "If my first major income is not settled this year, can the liquidity be maintained?"
