Chapter 145 Fatal Error
"In the public school I was studying in the past, the guy who was gang-beaten would grab a killer and fight back, so that he would not be regarded as a coward in the future, and it would also make the other party's next bullying a slap in the face. Maybe Motura Had similar thoughts too. щww.”
The media has always had no lower limit, and if there are big companies behind it, the target of smearing is clear, the black material spreads quickly, and then take advantage of the trend to create rumors to gain attention, gossip spread rumors, eat melons, and beat the dog who is in the water... It will soon be a battle Media orgy.
Song Ya put himself into it, a little shuddering, his energy is far inferior to Mariah Carey and Vanilla Ice, if he is also messed with like this, he will suffer more damage.
"Maybe."
Hayden also understood Song Ya's thoughts, "If it were you, we, William Morris, would not be able to handle this level of slander."
He said matter-of-factly: "Of course, you are very careful in your actions. This is what we are most assured of. But Vanilla Ice has a big disadvantage. He is white. He used to have a good personal image, and black DJs can't say anything about it. Once it comes out, it is estimated that black DJs will not be polite to him, after all, he is a white man who sings and raps."
"yes……"
Song Ya wouldn't take pity on Vanilla Ice. That guy is really stupid. He started selling his autobiography after only a year of popularity. Sell it as soon as he sells it. He even makes it up. Is it inflated or inflated?
"It's estimated that this matter will be fermented for a period of time. We just need to keep an eye on it, just to learn the public relations methods of both sides. Let's go, let's go about our own business."
I have nothing to do today, I just went to Tribeca to see the house.
"Mr. Aps, the location of this penthouse is very good, look..."
Leading Song Ya and Hayden around Tribeca for nearly seven hours, the real estate agent was still full of energy. He opened the window and tried hard to sell this unit, "There is a park in front, buy this place, the roof terrace It’s yours too, the previous owner has permission to remodel it, you can turn it into a garden, a party space, a helipad, you name it.”
"Well, generally."
Song Ya pretended not to be very interested, and looked at her watch again, "Come here today, if you are interested, I will ask Hayden to contact you again."
The two bid farewell to the disappointed real estate agent, and sat back in the car to discuss.
Song Ya is more interested in this penthouse. It has five bedrooms, an exclusive terrace and an elevator. It is located next to the park and within walking distance to Soho Street and Chinatown. One of the few high end properties in the Becca.
There are two other places that also came into his sight, one is the upper four floors of the five-story old apartment building on the street, with twelve units, all belonging to the same owner, not far from Wall Street, all the units are rented To the white-collar workers who work on Wall Street. Another is an abandoned warehouse by the Hudson River, which is very troublesome. Not only is the land extremely expensive, but also a high-rise development contract must be signed with New York City. If the project does not start within a certain period of time, it will be taken back by the government.
"So, have you thought it through?" Hayden wanted to persuade him again, "The prospect of investing this money in Long Island or the Upper West Side should be better. This area used to be an industrial area. Judging by the speed of renovation, it is difficult for housing prices to change in the short term. internal improvement."
"Almost, the warehouse is fine,
Without a net worth of tens of millions, it is estimated that you can't play well. "
After all, it is the place that was sung in the lyrics. Although Song Ya dare not bet big, the other two investments seem to be very safe. "Please ask me about the price of the remaining two units. The priority of the penthouse just now is Higher, but be careful not to let the other party know my inclinations."
Reberthena has topped the billboard charts for three consecutive weeks, and epirestateofd is also on the rise. The sales plus authorization is expected to be a large number. In addition, the other two singles are still providing income in a steady stream. If it is said that every time he received He would hear the jingle of the cash register in his ear, and now he may have a symphony in his ear.
Why can char make 20 million in a year with just one album? Singers in this era are really making too much money, but the premise is that they have to own a production company like myself and char, and can get most of the revenue from the song.
Other singers who are signed to record companies will definitely not be able to do it. If it is purely based on record sales, the highest in the industry is J, which is only 20%. Most singers can only get 10% or even 100%. within five.
Of course, these singers have huge signing fees besides commercial performances, and J is no longer suitable for being included in the calculation of singers. He not only has his own production company, but also has a huge ATV copyright library. His personal copyright library, the relationship with Sony Columbia is more similar to a partnership than a signed singer.
"char..."
Hayden and him are now vaguely connected. As soon as Song Ya thought of the name in his mind, Hayden said it out of his mouth, "He started the flying mouse pants trend and made a lot of money from it, you know ?”
"Yeah?"
Song Ya really didn't know, he only heard that char inspired Xiangjiang's Shu Bailan and Benzi's rap music to a certain extent.
"Your pair of pants are also well received in the fashion industry, and many clothing brands want to collaborate with you on styles."
Hayden asked, "Do you want to choose a partner? However, no first-line brand has contacted me yet, but I suggest that it should be done quickly. It is difficult to clarify the copyright of clothing. Others can avoid it with a little change. It is estimated that it will be soon. There will be copycat versions going on sale."
"Why didn't I think of this..."
Song Yaxin said that it was a mistake. He didn't think much about clothing. He only liked the pair of pants and put them on the stage. He didn't expect that this was also a way to make money.
"Unfortunately, except for 'Trumpet', the clothes of the characters in the Apocalypse Music v are not very trendy..." He secretly regretted.
He gave Hayden the purchase of a house and joint-branded pants. He returned to the school in Chicago to complete the exam, and made the final official version of shotheoney and the near-finished version of 'Trumpet'. He also participated in the school on behalf of the school A youth squash competition, won the fourth place, a total of eight participants.
On May 25, his Reberthena finally dropped to the top of the singles chart, and it was Mariah Carey's Idon Tannacry that knocked it out.
"Sorry, the food seller." Mariah Carey called proudly to show off.
Her mood improved completely, and Motura's counterattack seemed to be very effective. The attacks on her from the outside world gradually calmed down, and they all turned their attention to Vanilla Ice. But it's still cheaper. The sister of the pit girl, after getting her a large amount of hush money, finally disappeared in front of the mass media and enjoyed her life.
"You're a diva, I'm a b-list, there's nothing to be happy about winning, right?" Song Ya smiled and retorted, "The song that reached the top is still from your last album, hasn't the second album worked hard yet? ?”
There was silence on the other end of the microphone.
"What?" Song Ya realized that she had said something wrong, "Is there a problem with the publicity of the second college?"
"Hmph..."
Mariah Carey snorted twice in dissatisfaction, "The sales momentum is not very good."
"Don't worry about it, it will be fine. Just like your first album, you didn't make full use of it until after the Grammys. I guess the situation with your second album is similar. By then, as long as you seize the opportunity, sales will improve."
Song Ya comforted her.
Mariah Carey's second album was too showy. Song Ya was quite critical when they recorded epistateofd together. He couldn't help but rejoice that he chose to stick to his own ideas and didn't let her use the extremely difficult showy in the chorus again. Art singing.
The two chatted for a while, Song Ya hung up the phone and turned on the TV, paying attention to the latest developments of the vanilla ice incident.
Vanilla Ice’s crisis public relations were also very quick. Yesterday he took the initiative to sincerely apologize to the public in front of the camera lens, and then said that he would stop the sale of the memoir, and explained and clarified the discrepancy between the memoir and the facts.
'Let's look at this passage. '
It was still the small TV station under CBS, the host replayed Vanilla Ice’s explanation of his Iceicebaby sampling Queen’s song underpressure, ‘He said he got permission from the copyright owner, so let’s review it…’
The TV station did not know where to get the first version of iceicebaby from Vanilla Ice the year before. At that time, he had not been discovered by Daniel, and he released an album containing this song in a small record company. Make no impression on the outside world.
It was almost the same as Daniel’s process of discovering second-hand stores. He discovered the potential of the song Vanilla Ice, signed him to sbk, and then repackaged the album. With Daniel’s invincible publicity ability, he won the later iceicebaby and ' To the Limit' album was a huge success.
The time to purchase the sampling rights from Underpressure's copyright owner was after he signed with sbk, that is to say, when the first iceicebaby version was released, this song must be in a copyright infringement state.
In fact, it’s nothing. Small record companies and rappers often sample other people’s music but don’t buy sampling licenses due to financial problems. , and later sbk also made up.
But the key point is not the copyright, but Vanilla Ice lied again in the apology statement about her lying...
This mistake was fatal, and Motura could not let it go.
