Chapter 202 The third option

"I haven't found any problems with I Feel It Coming's first million sales for the time being. I have asked the people below to take over the data and slowly check it, and focus on turning my focus to Remember The Name's first million sales. This is also according to the contract

The earliest income you can settle, Sony Columbia Records must settle this part before the end of November. This income of more than 4 million that you personally and the company expects will be a critical point. Depending on your financial situation, getting this

After a lot of money, we finally have the capital to fight Motura for a long time. If he doesn't use any extra tricks."

Three days later, Song Ya received a call from Samuel in the car, "OK, I understand, have you got any results from your rough audit of my total record sales?"

"Yes, just wait."

Samuel rummaged for a while, "I Feel It Coming, sales volume in North America is 2.03 million, sales abroad are 310,000. Remember The Name, sales volume in North America is 3.27 million, sales abroad are 280,000. Empire State of Mind, sales volume in North America is 1.14 million, overseas sales

The sales volume is 650,000. Small size, 860,000 in North America and 110,000 overseas. I have to say that you are the big winner this year, APLUS."

"Wow, I didn't expect there to be so many." Song Ya heard him report these figures as if she saw the money printing machine running, "Where is my estimated income?"

"If this number is true, I estimate that Sony Columbia will not falsify its accounts. Your total personal income is about 7.5 million dollars, and A+ Records' company income is about 20 million!" Samuel replied excitedly.

"Based on this income, what advice do you have for me?" Song Ya asked.

"The first option is that you pay Sony Columbia Records 5 million in compensation and give up the release of your first album. In that case, you can't take away the six singles except Show me the money, and you can only keep them at Sony Columbia. Show me the money

Money did not sign a single release contract, and Feel It Still signed a single release contract, but it was later terminated by you. Motura will be very angry at first. If he freezes the release of your six singles, then your

The subsequent income will basically be lost. 27.5 million is reduced by 5 million, and you can probably walk away free with less than 22.5 million."

Song Ya did some mental math, "If I agree to Motura's conditions, not only will my debut album be released smoothly, but I will also get his 30 million signing fee. That's nearly 100 million dollars in revenue. You've done the math, haven't you? One

One hundred million versus twenty million, this is such a loss."

"But you are unwilling to agree to his conditions."

Samuel complained, and he added: "Listen to me, you have not yet counted the signing fees with other record companies as a free agent. Also, I said Motura will be very angry at first, but wait until he

After you regain your consciousness, there is a high probability that your six singles will be released as an EP, and you will still be able to get the relevant part of the income. So, it is not 100 million versus 20 million..."

"Forget it, I won't choose the first choice, even if I become a free agent, because I haven't released a single single, and then six good songs were left at Sony Columbia, and I also faced retaliation from Motura, and other record companies signed

I will lower the price severely. Besides, I'm not sure whether Motula will calm down and release those six songs as an EP. He is too controlling and has a very strong personality. He will definitely do everything possible to destroy me.

, without those six songs, I still don’t know when it will be until my first album..."

Samuel continued, "OK, second option. You insist on the release period of i hate u i love u's contract. At that time, it will not be you who pay 5 million to give up the single release, but it will depend on whether Motura is willing to

Even if you pay 5 million, your first album will be frozen."

"He will definitely do that." Song Ya said.

"Okay, 27.5 million plus 5 million. When your publishing contract with Sony Grumbia expires, you can walk away with more than 30 million dollars, leaving six songs behind, and then sign a contract with another company. In addition to earning a fortune from signing the contract,

In addition to the fee... we can also look forward to the income from the release of EPs when Motura calms down."

"Wouldn't Motura hate me even more? He will definitely use any means to discredit me, and the time will be delayed even longer. By then, I will still be a newcomer who has not released a single, and maybe all my fan base will be wiped out.

"

Samuel said: "That's it. The third option is that you pay 20 million and let the next record company pay another 30 million or 50 million to buy the six singles from Sony Columbia Records. At the same time, your

A+ Records also has to agree to sign a five-year distribution contract with the next company, which includes your two albums or two plus one album in five years. In this way, you are almost ready to leave home, but the advantage is that the first album can be released as soon as possible.

Then A+ Records is still an independent company, and the relationship between you and Motura will not be so tense."

"Two majors in five years? Can't we have one major in two years?" Song Ya asked.

"Then no one will be willing to take the risk. After all, they paid 30 million to buy six singles, four of which have been released before. They have basically exhausted their purchasing power. They can only bet on your first major.

The quality of sales and your sub-specialty has not dropped significantly. Someone may be willing to gamble at 30 million, but it will be impossible to go higher." Samuel said: "This is calculated by our cooperation through mathematical models.

, if you insist on taking those six songs away, but are not willing to accept A+ Records being controlled by others."

"Fifty million, will Motula let go?" Song Ya asked.

"I will definitely release it. He will freeze you. Your follow-up single and first album were successfully included in Sony Columbia Records and you won't get a cent. This has already caused tens of millions of hidden losses to their company. If you continue

If he refuses the 50 million, his position will definitely not be secure, and MJ's album sales will not save him." Samuel said: "Of course, your attitude must be firm, and you must show it to the management behind Motura.

If you show a firm attitude and Motula suppresses you, you will no longer cooperate and must redeem yourself and leave. You must also prove to the next company that you are worth the 30 million they paid."

"Redemption..."

This redemption and leaving the house is much more tragic than the one I imagined a few days ago. "I'll think about it again. You can also take this time to improve your mathematical model and see if there is anything better."

untie."

"OK, I have to remind you that it is increasingly difficult for independent small and medium-sized record companies to survive. Acquisitions and grouping are the general trend in the recording industry." Samuel hung up the phone.

"I'm different, I have apocalyptic songs..."

Song Ya still holds the confidence of a time traveler. Although the apocalyptic songs have been coming, the speed is still a bit slow. It has been a year and a half since she even put together an album. "I think I am a bit too greedy..."

"He shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"APLUS?"

Unaware that the car had stopped, Old Mike opened the door for him and said, "Okay, come on." He gathered his mood and got into it under the escort of Old Mike, Ma Watta and others... This city is called

What's going on? It doesn't matter anymore. Anyway, I have to go to two nightclubs in the evening, both of which are large nightclubs. I can sing a few songs and earn 20,000 US dollars, and then I can rest for a while before rushing to the next city.

In the evening, he had just taken a shower to wash away the fatigue from running around. When he came out, he saw Fergie flipping through his manuscript paper and asked, "Are there any new works?" After all, she was only seventeen years old, and she had already recovered from the shock of her single being frozen.

She came over, maybe not recovered, but Song Ya's new work successfully diverted her attention, "What is this?" She flipped through the staffs, "Pure music?"

"Yes, symphony, I just wrote it for fun." Song Ya replied.

"Dang-dang, dang-dang-dang, dang-dang, dang-dang..." Fergie snorted a few times, "You are so talented, my dear..." She turned back with admiration on her face, "It's disgusting, you run out naked after taking a shower, you're so ugly.

."

The two boys were about to have a fight when their cell phone rang and it was Song Asheng.

"What's wrong?" Song Ya answered the phone.

"There is a new situation. In the twelve rental units we have in Tribeca, a load-bearing column has just cracked. The housing management unit requires us to conduct a thorough overhaul." Song Asheng's tone was a little anxious.

"It's just maintenance, what's wrong?" Song Ya asked.

"Not only does it need to be overhauled, but it can no longer be rented out during this period! When it will be restored, we have to wait for the acceptance notice from the management unit!" Song Asheng said: "Not only do we have to bear the cost of all the tenants moving to the hotel temporarily and then looking for housing,

You also have to reduce one month's rent, maintenance costs, and the rental income before the management unit's acceptance is gone. That money is an important part of your mortgage payment."
