Chapter 1005

In the early morning, song Ya accompanied David Geffen to sit in the shadow for a drink and listen to the negotiations among his subordinates.

"Why isn't Dean Wilson on the list?"

Only the lamp on the round table in the middle of the suite was on, and Ms. Sloan sat opposite a white old man who felt very stubborn.

The old white man rummaged through the papers and asked, he should be David Geffen's absolute confidant.

"Why do you ask Linda's voice came from the landline handsfree.

"What?"

The old white man put his mouth close to the receiver and repeated in an emphatic tone, "Dion Wilson! The music director of your a + records, the head of the production department, is he not included in the deal? "

"Dion is not a singer. His management position is not very binding. The record maker is always free. He sometimes makes records for singers of other record companies." Linda replied.

The old white man looks at David Geffen.

"We need Dion, at least keep him on his post until he gets through the turbulent period after the deal. I think the success of a + records has a lot to do with this music director, right? APLUS。” David Geffen asked Sonya.

"Of course, he's been involved in almost all of our records since he joined us."

Song Ya replied: "I will try my best to persuade him, but he has a small fortune now, so I can't give you a hundred percent guarantee. "

"Can't you sign a singer's contract and tie him up?"

The old white man asked again, "is he trying to use the stage name noi. D. to test the water for a rap single? He should have a development plan next year, right? "

"Er..." Linda's language is not good.

In the future, you don't know, the current situation of a + records is quite clear, "almost, noi. D. on the contrary, Dion..."

The other party comes prepared, but the little trick doesn't move. Song Ya admits generously for Linda who doesn't know how to respond.

"So after you talk to him about binding, add it to the deal." Said the old white man.

"At that time, the new a + records will give him another post of executive vice president." David Geffen added.

Song Ya nodded to Sloan who looked at him. "OK." Sloan agreed to add and modify the document with the old white man.

"And Mira Jovovich?" Asked the old white man.

"Mila will have two major female movies coming out next year. Faxin is just for fun, so she will be assigned to another small record company under aplus, which is more free for her." Linda replied.

"We don't want to let Mira go."

The old white man continued to debunk the lie: "I have a friend who has heard Mila sing a new song that aplus wrote to her on a Florida set. That kind of pop rock music is on the trend and we love it. And a + has a very good band for Mila. It costs a lot, right? I don't think you and she are trying to play with tickets

"So far, Mila has not released any albums or singles on a + records, nor does she have the copyright of any tracks under the name of a +. Her five-year singer won't take effect until early next year. In fact, she won't be included in this deal at all."

Sloan refused: "there is no such thing as" let go. "

"We can raise some of the acquisition amount because of her."

After getting permission from David Geffen, the white old man said, "aplus, because we know your character, we will definitely write songs and praise our ex girlfriend who is back in our arms Her singing skills are * * *, but we believe in your creative genius. It's expensive to maintain a class rock and roll accompaniment group. So those songs and even the entire album are already in existence and planned. Is my analysis right?

"Ex girlfriend."

Song Ya was not happy to correct him. "It seems that you already know my company like the palm of your hand. It would be better if you could pay more attention to my troubles and make more suggestions."

"I'm aplus in this business. When I sold most of the shares in Gefen records, many people laughed at me for making a loss because globegroup immediately won Nirvana after getting Gefen records..."

David Geffen laughed, "but now? The hot money from books and Europeans was gone, piracy was rampant, and the record industry was in recession. People who laughed at me began to extol my original foresight We have become very nervous about every big acquisition of the film industry. We can't help but do a good job of investigation in advance. "

"The current offer is 50 percent of the 75 million a + record, and the deal list includes the full range of equipment in three studios such as deep sea, as well as the land you've prepared for your new headquarters in the outskirts of Chicago. In addition to the old music copyrights you own and share with Sony Columbia Records, you also include the old records of old Joe's music and some of the copyrights of little Lori's first monograph... "

The white old man picked up the document he had just prepared and read: "we will also pay 60 million signature fee for the top box, aplus. This money is actually for all the singers of a + records, but it will declare that it belongs to you only, so that the news will come out and completely establish your top star. Then the money will be allocated by you. As long as you can ensure that the contract is smoothly exchanged, we will recognize it. ""It still doesn't sound very good." Ms. Sloan said.

"Give me the list of singers."

David Geffen got up and went to the round table and simply glanced at the papers. "We want Mira, so foxy Brown can give up and take your new company. This woman rapper from Brooklyn, N.Y., is a tough guy, and Geffen records is based in California

"How are you talking to owitz?" He asked.

"It's slower than here." Song Ya replied.

"The 60 million signing fee is not the top box. MJ signed a long contract with Sony Columbia last time, which is much more than that." Linda's voice came from the hands-free, "not to mention it's not for aplus alone."

"That's the book in those days, and now? Not even MJ. " David Geffen said.

"There is a number that can be shared by MJ and Madonna, that is, singers share. Aplus' creative ability is worth 20% more than them." Linda said.

"Yes."

David Geffen was very happy to agree, "even a little higher, how about 21%? Maybe you don't know, when MJ signed a contract with the chief editor of the book, there was a rigid rule that he must be the one with the highest proportion of singers among the first-line singers in the United States. If he is surpassed by other singers, there must be a new contract automatically matching. "

He said with a smile: "maybe this trick can give motura a little headache, because after we sign the contract, MJ will certainly quarrel to change the contract. As the manager of MJ, he will be caught between the company and the singer and get angry at both ends."

Look, I saw the rabbit. I started to scatter eagles?

"How could Ben agree to such a request? Ha ha, more stuff, Mr. Geffen. " Song Ya also laughed.

"So we have a deal?" David Geffen asked.

"Well, I prefer the number eight."

"Yes." David Geffen and the old white man looked at each other and agreed, "fax back to the U.S. and leave the work behind to the lawyers. After the official signing, universal music and I will firmly support you. Don't worry, aplus. "

"I'll thank you in advance." Don't worry. I won't sell a + records. Song Ya shakes hands with him.

The next day in Boston, near Harvard campus.

"Don't follow me. Don't follow me, Pierre!"

Quincy Jones was annoyed by Pierre Sutton. "I'm here to see my daughter. I'm not working now!"

The old man walked quickly into the new villa he had just set up here, trying to shut Pierre out of the door, but failed.

"Quincy, you can't! I heard that you created obstacles in Warner's pursuit of aplus for Atlantic Records. Can't you forget the contradiction with him after so many years? "

Pierre Sutton led his briefcase through the door and asked, "otherwise, he would not have no choice but to sign a League under the city with David Geffen."

"Why forget? I'm an old man, and that kid has never respected me since he was 15 years old. Many people in Warner don't like him. Look at how he messes up Sony Columbia Records

Quincy Jones retorted, "I just said a few bad things about him at the meeting. I can't be the owner of Warner records. Your inner city broadcasting company is well-informed."

"Just? We black people should help each other. You are betrayal! Aplus is being attacked by white people in the media industry, and you are falling into trouble

Pierre Sutton yelled at him, "didn't aplus make a lot of money for Sony Columbia?"

"Ha! Look, look, this is the moral kidnapping. "

The old man was even more angry. "You Manhattan gang can do this!"

"Don't think I don't know you're in a good mood, Quincy."

Pierre Sutton said: "2pac is dead. His mother is a good control bug. Sugnette is going to jail. Now your daughter Kidada is an ex girlfriend of 2pac, and your son Jones III is a former death row record signing singer. If you make any confession with Derry and Snoopy dog who are close to you recently, you will have a firm grasp of the explanation of 2pac's death Right, as far as possible to sit on the ground to make a deal with some people. Is my guess right? "

"You guys in the media are well informed. I don't care. It's not that I haven't been scolded by MJ fans for years. I'm used to it. I can say it with your mouth." Quincy Jones poured himself a glass full of wine.

"At least help aplus clarify."

Pierre Sutton said, "don't think I didn't know you sent Rachida to take this and blackmail aplus."

"Why help him clarify? He doesn't respect me. " Quincy Jones didn't want to.

"Well, you look like an old black musician!" Pierre Sutton raised the volume again.

"Let the boy come and beg me in person. By the way, I'll apologize to Rashida and dare to bully my daughter...""You old nger..."

"Hey, didn't the boy say he never accepted threats?"

Quincy Jones took a big gulp of wine. The more angry Pierre became, the better he was. "Don't think I don't know. You've just made a rebellion against his will on the inner city broadcasting company, investing in XXL magazine against his will, and fighting against my vibe..."

"It's not a matter of level. Now we have to stand up for the black light."

"Yes, go ahead. Give me this old man a little clean. Thank you."

"You

"Daddy!" They were talking to each other when Rashida Jones, dressed in a Harvard uniform, pushed in. "You can hear you fighting outside the door. Watch your blood pressure."

"I didn't fight. I was fine." Quincy Jones said to Pierre, "help me deliver Mr. Sutton."

"Aplus is a vengeful Quincy."

Pierre Sutton did not know what to do with the old man, so he left a word and went out.

"Wait, is this for aplus, Mr. Sutton? I just heard something outside the door... "

Rashida Jones suddenly stopped him. "In fact, it's easy to clarify his murder suspicion..."

"No, you..."

Quincy Jones couldn't understand her daughter. "Rachida!" "Why help that annoying little nger!" he yelled

Rashida did not listen to his father, and continued: "aplus found 2pac's mother through the widow of Malcolm AIX, and asked her son to delete the lyrics of diss in hit'emup, right?"

"Yes, I'm the middleman." Pierre Sutton nodded.

"Shut up!" Quincy Jones yelled at her daughter.

Rachida Jones ignored him. "2pac's mother found hit'emup's lyrics after reading it. She was very angry. She slapped 2pac at home and told him that aplus people are very good. Her son shouldn't maliciously curse that such an excellent black compatriot's son is not big, so 2pac had to delete the lyrics. My sister was there and saw it with her own eyes. "

Pierre Sutton's eyes lit up! But is your sister willing to say that to the media? "

"Rashida..." Quincy Jones had nothing to do with her favorite daughter and tried to stop it again pathetically.

"Actually no, there is such a song in 2pac's legacy."

Rashida shook off his father's hand. "It was he who wrote down his anger after being beaten by his mother. There were lyrics like" aplus, you are a mother gun who only goes home crying for her mother. "Although the words are not very nice, they can absolutely prove that there is no hatred between them

"Great! Where is the original song? " Asked Pierre Sutton.

"In one of the safes of death row records, along with the rest of 2pac's posthumous works, which are already under the control of Interscope, the publisher of the CD, and 2pac's mother and sugnette are competing for them."

Rashda Jones said it all at once.
