“APLUS……”

At the curtain call of the second finale, when Song Ya stepped down, Barenboy stopped again, "I wanted to talk to you a little more yesterday, but I was interrupted by fundraising, wait until I have time to come to my room?" ”

"Okay."

Song Ya could guess what Barenboy wanted to talk to him, after the Baba Yetu mat performance, he trained a few choir students, probably because they didn't have time to keep up with the previous sentence, and then they gave up on themselves and paddled to the lip shape, and looked left and right with a smile, although it didn't make a big impact in the chorus of hundreds of people, but he didn't want someone to start herding sheep in the second scene.

Maybe it was a bit heavy that made the children cry.

"It's just a job, it's a job to sing, it's a job to play the violin, it's a job to conduct."

Sure enough, when I went to Barenboy's lounge, the other party came up and said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself and everyone, APLUS." ”

"I just want to be perfect."

I used to record albums, make music videos, and make movies with an attitude of almost just doing it, but maybe it's because I don't have the confidence of the apocalypse in conducting work, or I can barely count myself as the first skill that I have to rely on my personal efforts to study and practice? Song Ya was very attentive, and said in her heart, old man, you scolded people more fiercely than me during rehearsals, and now tell me this? So he shrugged his shoulders and replied perfunctorily: "I'm sorry, next time I'll pay attention to the way I speak." ”

"Our industry is the fastest to become famous, and it is also a ...... of genius and tolerance"

"Mozart tried his hand at composing at the age of five, toured Europe at the age of six, wrote his first symphony at the age of eight, and became a court musician at the age of sixteen. I gave solo concerts at the age of seven, was recognized as a piano genius at the age of eleven, shared the stage with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at the age of fourteen, and my late ex-wife Dupree became famous at the age of eleven and appeared on the top stage at the age of sixteen...... But the geniuses in this industry also fell the fastest, mostly due to the psychological problems of personality caused by fame at a young age, as well as the abuse of drugs, and the madness and paranoia of artists who constantly compete with themselves...... Kurt Cobain, the lead singer of the band Nirvana under your new company, Geffen Records, was only twenty-seven years old when he committed suicide in '94. ”

"I understand."

Song Ya knew what the other party was worried about, and it was indeed for her own good, and said with a smile: "I won't, I'm actually not very demanding of myself." ”

"Well, it's not for you to relax your artistic pursuits......"

Barenboy was afraid that the enterprising spirit of the 'genius' in front of him would be gone, so he hurriedly remedied, "I mean, of course, you need to hit the peak with the highest standards when creating and rehearsing, but when you have dedicated to yesterday's high-level perfect performance, don't be too persistent, everyone in the team has ups and downs, and the rest of the work should just be regarded as work, and you must adjust your mentality in time and relax." The Czech Commander-in-Chief, the writer Havel said: When a writer is twenty years old...... He reached a more serious understanding of himself, began to see the world with his own eyes, and found his own way to bear the world and himself. Then, he spent about another decade researching and researching, figuring things out and unleashing this initial experience of the world from all angles. It has been an important decade, a period of progress, heroic self-confidence and relative bravery and optimism......"

"I understand, I understand." Song Ya was taught sincerely.

"In short, don't put too much pressure on yourself, stay optimistic."

"I'm optimistic."

Song Yaxin said that there is nothing optimistic about a traverser, although in the eyes of outsiders, I often faint for no reason......

"Well, that's good......" Barenboy relented slightly.

"By the way, what Mr. Geffen said yesterday...... Title building, grasp the big? Song Ya changed the subject.

"Looks like little Mr. Bronfman has decided."

Barenboy's mood immediately improved, "This is a big problem for me, the Symphony Center, and the City of Chicago." ”

He has always been criticized by the outside world for his fundraising ability and concept that there is too much gap with his predecessor Solti, and now suddenly a top rich man makes a move, then all the previous problems are not a problem, that is 50 million dollars. His fundraising mission was easily met, the Symphony Center renovation project was no longer a problem, and the city of Chicago no longer had to worry about lobbying pressure from the literary and artistic circles to fill the hole with public funds.

In fact, when Song Ya was listening to it yesterday, he did some mental calculations, there should be 10 million left in the funding gap? Anyway, he decisively pretended to be stupid.

This kind of donation is tax deductible, but it should not be needed this year, in fact, thanks to last year's divorce property division, A+CN and the losses of the inner city broadcaster, and high legal and security expenses, it is estimated that there will be some tax rebates this tax season.

Besides, he has donated 200,000 dollars, and he also brought out Baba Yetu, which has contributed money and hard work, and there is no spare money to play behind the three generations of the super rich......

As the driver left the symphony center, he looked at the musicians on the side of the road who were struggling to stuff the huge double bass into the car, and couldn't help but smile with relief.

Calming down, Old Mac pulled the car to a stop at the red light.

There is an audio-visual chain store on the street corner, and the poster at the door has changed stars, including the black girl rhythm and blues group TLC, as well as the up-and-coming female singer Pearl, the country diva Shania Towne, and of course, the B-chart artist of the year in '96, the album sales champion Alanis Morissete.

"Last year was a bit of a yin and a little bit of a yang decline......," he sighed in Chinese.

"What?" Linda, who was in the same car, naturally couldn't understand.

"It's nothing, it's none of my business this season, right?"

Song Ya asked Linda that she and her ex-wife had a falling out with the Grammys, and because she was smeared, her ex-wife's popularity dropped because of the birth of Little Reggar, and she didn't release a new album in 96 years......

"Yes, in fact, Universal Music hasn't done anything for you in the past two days, I originally thought that the 60 million signing fee would create a big wave of momentum." Linda complained: "If you change to Sony Columbia Records, such a big news ......"

"Don't miss Sony Colombia anymore."

Song Ya interrupted her unhappily, "When I'm done with the groundbreaking ceremony, I'll go to Los Angeles to meet Mr. Bronfman first, and I'll plan well with Doug Morris, the president of Universal Music." ”

The predecessor of Universal Music's main body was MCA Records, which used to start as a ticket booking service, and later successively acquired large and small labels such as Decca and Geffen Records before squeezing into the Big Six.

It also has a problem, that is, the management of its singers is more chaotic, before Barenboy exemplified the suicide of Kurt Cobain, which led to the dissolution of Geffen Records' super money printing machine Nirvana, and now there is gunfire and infighting, and another label Interscope Records has withdrawn from singers such as 2PAC and Marilyn Manson, who have caused countless criticisms for the company.

Universal Music's foreign distribution ability is about the bottom of the six majors, and the ability to win awards is also in the latter class, but because of the relationship between the old bank and most of its rock singers, his family's specialty concert promotion, fan organization construction and domestic record marketing are very good.

In short, there are gains and losses, anyway, the oil and water in the field of record distribution are not high now, and the six major ones are having a hard time one by one, but the head singer is still easy to earn, Song Ya made up his mind to work honestly under the new boss for five years, and then the singer's contract expires, at least he can't form a life-and-death feud like he used to do with Motula.

And finally has a new umbrella, after signing himself with a lot of money, Universal doesn't want tens of millions of dollars to save his life. Universal's strength is not as good as Sony Columbia's records, but the Bronfman family's influence in the United States is not comparable to Sony Columbia's books.

Of course, this also means that it is extremely difficult to rebel.

"Huh? Where did you think of it, not to rebel, not to rebel...... Just work...... I wasn't born with a backbone in the back of my head, just take care of my A+ record. ”

Song Ya shook her head and muttered to herself a few words before asking Linda, "What work is going to happen next?" ”

"Metropolitan Records wants to confirm a foreign distributor and start negotiations tomorrow when we return to work, or according to your previous opinion, will EMI and Polygram choose a pair?"

Linda replied: "It is estimated that the results will be available soon." ”

"OK, remember to give it to Momoyo only if they were asked to get rid of that Robert."

Song Ya never forgot Robert who had given him a watermelon, and chased him to the ends of the earth.

Tomorrow is the 3rd, the stock market opens, all walks of life return to work, the first to leave Highland Park are Charis and Mira, Charlis has to rush back to the extremely demanding devil spokesperson crew to start work again, Mira is going to make up shots and dubbing for the Python disaster, both of them are destined for Hollywood.

"Goodbye! My dear! ”

Seeing Mira with a guitar on her back get into the car, South African Diamond hugged her and rushed into the car to leave, "I'm going to join the Apu crew with Jared Leto on the sixth." Xue Linfen appeared behind her: "Start the publicity itinerary for the opening of the 24th film." ”

"Okay."

Xue Linfen is really a bit pestering now, always looking for excuses to appear by her side on various occasions, and she can breathe a sigh when she leaves.

"Would you like to see it, why don't I talk to Mr. Linton?" Anyway, I'm not the only producer. Xue Linfen didn't leave again.

"No, no, I can, I just think you like the job of a producer......"

"Robb and Jon will let you go here."

"Mm-hmm, no problem, I'll hire a private early childhood teacher for Robb."

"Don't let Susie teach him to swear."

"No, it won't."

Xue Linfen went back to the house to explain things to the nanny, and the governor's wife didn't have such an excuse to come all the time, so suddenly there was only Harley left......

Song Ya couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

No, there's Sloane, a workaholic, who is on the phone with Gordon at A+CN in his study, talking about the specifics of the foundation stone laying ceremony on the fifth day, and at the same time he can do two things, and he keeps writing his speech when he arrives, but ......

There was already a brand new twenty knives on the desk.

"Just work, just work......"

Yesterday, when the price negotiation failed, he comforted himself and put the money in his pocket.
