Song Ya doesn't want to travel all the way to New York to go around and work with Lori, "The next stop is Sony Columbia, right?"
"Uh……"
Hayden said: "Tommy Motula is very busy, so we don't expect to see him this time."
"Oh! Go and try."
Half an hour later, the three of them walked into the 30-storey black building of Columbia Records. In a small reception room, they met a male producer who was also a well-known arranger in the industry, Walter Afanagif. He and Joe Mr. Lowovich is also a white Maoist, but he is from Big Mao, while Mr. Jovovich is from Er Mao.
He spoke highly of Ifeelitcoming, "It's good, very innovative, and the completion of the arrangement is very high."
He took off his headphones and said, "APLUS, Tommy told me specifically about you, and the conditions remain unchanged. Come here. The release and promotion of the singles will follow the second-tier singers. There is no limitation on the release time, but you still have to sign a distribution contract. , Your first album and all songs before its release must be released by Columbia Records."
It looks like, UU reading www. The condition of uukanshu.com is the best. "In the later stage..." Song Ya still wants to fight for it. "Mr. Afa Najif, you know, A+ record technology is insufficient."
"Just call me Walter."
The other party continued: "We can provide equipment and venues. Without affecting the normal use of our own people, please note that if it does not affect the normal use of other singers, it means that you can't even determine the recording time. Other singers use recording during the day. Studio, you have to work at night, the singer suddenly wants to record, you have to give up the recording studio, this is usually the third-line or even lower nameless singer treatment. As for the later stage, I will let my people give you help as much as possible , But this is an oral agreement, and A+ Records has to pay corresponding remuneration for the work of our later staff."
"This is too..." Hayden expressed dissatisfaction.
Walter shook his head, "Sorry, I only have these permissions."
"Well, let's think about it again." Song Ya got up and left.
"APLUS."
Walter sent them downstairs and suddenly said, "As far as I am concerned, at some point, an verbal agreement will be more useful than a contract clause in black and white."
"Uh..." Song Ya was a little bit unsure of his overtones, "Walter, just tell me, I'm still a high school student, and I just passed my sixteenth birthday not long ago."
"Ok."
Walter thought for a while, and didn’t go around. “I’m a technical controller, I like new things, APLUS, I want you to come, but I can’t change anything, let alone influence Motura. However, if you join Colombia, I will Try to provide you with help, within my authority."
He smiled embarrassedly, "Of course, I am quiet here, and I hope you are mentally prepared."

"So, you intend to make the sound clearer and more penetrating, but you also want to give the listener a far-end feeling in certain parts?"
Walter’s small office, he led his men to discuss technical issues with Song Ya, a Columbia Records lawyer and Hayden sat in the other corner, chatting quietly.
"Probably so, how do you describe it? Hmm...like...like there is a mist between me and the audience, you know what I mean?"
Song Ya tried his best to accurately describe the feelings of the original song.
"I understand, I understand." Walter glanced at the sound mixer beside him.
"Try it with the iron cage first." Mixing Daniel shrugged.
"Help me look up Miss Kelly's itinerary." Walter immediately picked up the phone and said.
‘Zizi...’ The fax machine in the room started working, and contracts were spat out.
Song Ya took it from Al, and looked through it carefully. The contract that Goodman reviewed has been revised in many places, most of which are minor details, but there is a sentence in "The first single and all the songs created before the release of the first album" His'creation' was changed to a'lead singer', which greatly reduced the scope of his responsibility.
"No, why didn't I notice this before? Fortunately there is Goodman, otherwise I won't be able to write songs to other record companies before the release of the first album..."
He glanced at the opposing lawyer who was walking towards him and handed him the contract.
"Not bad."
After reading the revised version, the lawyer did not have the slightest embarrassment of being exposed, and flicked the contract with his finger, "Yes, I will press this to print out the official text."
Waiting for him to leave the room, the phone rang again, Walter answered and said to Song Ya: "It just so happens that the iron cage has three days of free time, and Kylie went to promote it."
"Wow, so I will use Mariah Carey's studio, right?"
Song Ya heard what Walter meant. Four of Mariah Carey’s first singles have the momentum to win the billboard chart in turn. She is currently the fastest rising female singer in the whole meter and is also recognized as DIVA. Successor, think about the first time I met her in Detroit, the other person was still a newcomer, and it was only a few months...
Sony Columbia is so highly praised, and the ambiguous relationship with the president Motura, the recording studio she uses is undoubtedly the world's top.
"There are only three days, you have to hurry up, it's better to start tonight." Walter reminded.
"Thank you anyway, Walter."
The two sides also communicated many technical issues, mainly at the request of Song Yati. The other side's big cow outlined the way to achieve it. After a few hours passed without knowing it, the lawyer sent the text of the contract with Motula signed on it .
"So Motura is in this building..."
It seems that he is still a small character for Motura, Song Ya carefully checked all the text again before signing the name on it.
The first album with no deadline is considered to be sold to Colombia. For the first single of Ifeelitcoming, the producer A+ Records and Song Ya, the songwriter, singer and producer, can get a total of 70%, and the publisher Sony Columbia Records scores 30%, which is a standard distribution contract. Of course, Song Ya also has to pay for the temporary help of Walt's great men, as well as the rental fee for borrowing Sony Columbia Records equipment, and some other miscellaneous costs.
"Happy cooperation." Everyone shook hands in greeting.
"Is this what people say lightly?" Hayden smiled with Song Ya privately.
"Maybe Sony Columbia has a different definition of people's humility." Song Ya also smiled.
At night, Song Ya stood at the recording studio code-named "Iron Cage"...below.
He walked into a large old-style fence elevator. It was not that Sony Columbia could not afford to replace it with a new elevator, but he deliberately made it into an old-style model, just to conform to the overall style of the "iron cage" and spare no expense.
Taken to the upper floor by the elevator, it really deserves the name of the iron cage. The semi-circular recording studio is very small, and you have a feeling of being locked in a cage when you stand in it. According to Walt, this is according to Mariah Carey. The sound characteristics are designed.
Because of its small size, apart from the microphone, there is only a long table behind the glass facing the control room outside, with some small objects on it, nothing else.
Song Ya picked up a calendar beside the white porcelain cup. In addition to the handwritten itinerary, it also contained some self-encouraging capital words.
"Don't touch any of Miss Kelly's personal items APLUS!" Walter warned outside.
