Chapter 156

"You have six songs now. Are you going to make a mini album?"

Outside motura's office at Sony's Columbia Records headquarters, Walter and Sonya are chatting in a whisper.

"I have to think it over."

A mini album usually has five or six songs, which is exactly the capacity of a high-density vinyl record. The advantage is that it can make a profit first. If it is operated well, it can also warm up for future albums. The disadvantage is that it will divert the buying of albums, which may lead to the failure of both sides.

According to the examples of singers in the past, the latter one is more likely, but the sky is not stable. Ghost knows when the next few songs will come. For song ya, it's not bad for song ya to get the real benefits first by issuing Mini albums.

"Don't think about it too long. It's July, and MJ's first album will be on sale in October." Walter reminds me.

"I know." Song Ya nods.

At this time, the door of motura's office was pushed open and Lee Phillips, the lawyer in charge of MJ's distribution business, came out.

"Don't play tricks with me! Lee Motura roared angrily from inside, "I must see his first MV before August!"

Lee Phillips did not reply, nodded politely to Sonya and Walter and strode away.

The rumor outside is true. Although MJ is under motura, motura has weak control over him.

Both of them pretended not to have heard what mantura had just said, and opened the door with a smile as usual.

“FXXK！”

Motura is pouring wine with his neck up, but he has no intention of covering up. "One agent, four lawyers. I have to communicate with the singers, and I have to pass on the message through them!"

Song Ya and Walter looked at each other, and when nothing happened, "that's his own album. He should know it in his mind." Walter advised.

MJ's new album this time is also the first album he released after he transferred to motura. According to past experience, his album will continue to sell well for several years, and with the global tour concert, it is a big business worth at least hundreds of millions of dollars. How can motura not worry.

"Hoo."

Motura gasped and put the glass back on the table. "His shitty lawyers and agents haven't agreed yet." He waved his hand. "Forget it. Let's talk about us."

Walter presented song Ya's "trumpet" single cover and some documents to him.

The cover is still song Ya's favorite unified style. The brass color blocks of wind instruments occupy most of the area, and then in the corner is the silhouette of Songya playing the trumpet. The cover of the last single of Empire State of mind was dominated by the color blocks after the virtual skyscrapers in New York City. In the corner, there is a silhouette of song Ya and Maria Kelly singing against each other. There is a piano outline behind them.

"Mr. motura, when will the massive promotion of Empire State of mind begin?" Song Ya asked, taking advantage of motura's signature on the document.

“emmm……”

Motura stopped writing and pondered for a few seconds. "It's a little troublesome. This song has a good response in the professional media and music critics, but it can't be sold out of the big New York area. I've called back the publicity department's plan and wait for them to make something that I'm satisfied with."

"All right."

Song Ya agrees with him. It's really difficult to sell this New York single to all rice.

Motura signed quickly and the two left.

"Is MJ's own lawyer at odds with his agent?" Song Ya remembers that at the Grammy celebration dinner earlier this year, MJ's lawyer Branca and agent sandy Glenn had a fight in front of him.

Walter chuckled. "It's MJ's art of management. Do you want to see your agent and lawyer work together?" He asked.

"Er..." Hayden and Goodman do have a good relationship, but song Ya reckons that they will not get together. "Even in order to prevent one hand, it's not necessary to have such a tight relationship, right? If it affects the sale of the new specialty, isn't everyone finished? "

"That's not our business." Walter shook his head. "Stop talking about MJ, especially in this building." He cautioned.

"Well, thank you, Walter."

Song Ya knows that the other party is out of good intentions. The best relationship between Sony Columbia Records and him is Roberto clevier. After all, they have commercial cooperation, but he is most assured of Walter's character.

Sony Columbia's expectations of the song "trumpet" are much lower than that of remember the name. They plan to launch a single in early July, and let song Ya start the interview program synchronously. With the advance publicity of B-list level, then adjust the publicity strategy according to the sales situation. This is a very standard process.

Even song Ya doesn't plan to push this song with all her strength. There are too many electronic sound modification parts in the song, which will definitely be criticized in this era. Maria Kelly is deeply troubled by the doubts about the sound modification. She is very upset when she doesn't modify the sound. She should keep a low profile.However, there are also bright spots in this song. Both in America and around the world, the higher the singer's talent, the more popular he will be. Song Ya will play the trumpet in the TV program, and then cooperate with Sony Columbia's propaganda and promotion to further consolidate his talent set-up.

So now, in addition to shooting MV, his main task is to practice trumpet.

After several preparatory meetings with Zach Schneider and the producers, Sonya changed his plan and decided to shoot most of the MV scenes in a studio in New York, which saved money and was convenient. Those classical trumpeters I can only say sorry to them. Their role will be replaced by dancers. After all, it's MV. It doesn't matter if you can't play trumpet. It's OK to perform with musical instruments to the mouth. After all, professional classical musicians don't have the lens sense and dance skills of dancers.

"Yes, not bad."

In the studio, song ya, who came to confirm the setting, said he was satisfied, "the furnishings next to the bed should be more futuristic." He made a few suggestions, and the props master wrote them down one by one.

"Here comes the dancers."

The producer himself brought a white man in his twenties and said, "aplus, you know that. Aplus, this is Adam Shankman. "

"Hello." They shake hands.

"For 90 years, he studied hip hop at Oscars." Introduction to the producer.

Song Ya talked to each other for a few words and pulled the producer aside to speak alone. "I don't have to use such a professional dance team, and there are a lot of people in this team. It's too white." Just now, there were twenty or thirty young men and women behind him, most of them white.

"We'll pay, you can use it." The producer said in a low voice, "this dance team has not been able to get any work recently. It's going to be a help to them." He winked at Song ya.

"You want to help them?" Song Ya secretly secretly Tucao, this has always appreciated his money saving style producers accidentally to plug into the entire large dance team, is definitely taking the Columbia record make complaints about MV production.

"All right."

Song Ya agreed to come down, there is no need to expose the other side of the private transactions, anyway, do not spend their own money, "but it is really too" white ", this can not be, I can not offend the black community."

It's the same old problem. Even if all the dancers use white people, they can't please the white people because they won't focus on it. But if they do that, they will certainly offend the black people. He originally planned to let his dance coach come from Chicago.

"I see." The producer takes song Ya back to communicate with Shankman.

"I want four to six dancers dressed as trumpeters, and then there are four to six hip hop dancers, half of whom must be female and half African American." Song Ya put forward the demand.

"I see." Shankman had no bargaining capital, so he could only agree, "I can produce about ten dancers who meet the requirements."

"OK, I'll send someone from Chicago to add the rest. You can bring people into the group as soon as possible."

Song ya just finished the dancer, and Roberto clevier's heroine called again. "Aplus, do you remember the latin girl Shakira I told you about once when we had a dinner party talking about the actress of Ifeel it coming?"

"Well, Roberto, the heroine is set."

Feiji is already on the plane to New York. Song Ya doesn't want a fire in the backyard at this time
