Chapter 368 Daniel's Predicament

"Let's talk about the C round later."

David Geffen stopped bargaining with him like a child, and changed the subject: "Is your WhereIsTheLove star joint singing over?"

"Well, it's over. They are basically singers under Sony Columbia Records, and they have a high degree of cooperation." Song Ya knew it was time to leave, and chatted with him about her record, and was about to get up, but David Geffen said The unintentional words "Daniel didn't win you back then, he might regret it for the rest of his life" caught his attention.

"Why? Is Mr. Daniel Glass in trouble?"

he asked. As his nobleman, Daniel is now the president of EMI. He is a high-ranking and powerful person. He led the acquisition of Viking Records worth a billion dollars at the beginning of the year. Not long ago, he was named one of the best executives under the age of 40 in the United States. Losing yourself should not be a lifelong regret, right?

David Geffen is not obliged to do science popularization for him, "Go and find out by yourself, it's not difficult."

Song Ya said goodbye and left, and soon asked William Morris to inquire about the situation.

After Daniel took down Viking Records at the beginning of the year, he started to re-split and integrate all EMI labels in Beimi to improve efficiency. Unfortunately, the old giants of EMI, such as Capitol Records and Viking Beimi, did not buy him at all. account. In order to forcefully promote the whole plan, he confidently split up companies with strong control such as SBK Records and Caroline Publishing. As a result, all the trusted executives were alienated, but he failed to move the executives of the old giants. ...

So Daniel is really in a bad situation now. He suddenly lost control over his subordinate label, and offended all the basic board and followers. The position of EMI president and even the entire EMI company has a tendency to be emptied. Small factories The brand was dismantled into a major label by him, but the executives of the major label bypassed him and went directly to communicate with the British head office.

"Now there is a joke circulating in the industry, saying that after Daniel sacrificed the SBK record he made by himself, he suddenly found himself with nothing, so he planned to sacrifice EMI."

Hayden said: "It is impossible for SBK Records to hold singers like Vanilla Ice and the Wilson and Williams sisters. According to Daniel's original plan, SBK Records will end its mission in 1995 and merge into other labels, but now If the rumors are true, in 1995, it is hard to say whether the EMI company will exist."

"He is a smart man, why did he make things like this?"

Song Ya was very puzzled. He had an instinctive admiration for Daniel. After all, the few chats with Daniel after he had just traveled had a great influence on him.

"It's really simple, he lost an internal political battle with the president of Capitol Records, got halfway through, and suddenly lost the support of the UK head office, along with Vanilla Ice, the Wilson and Phillips sisters, Paula Abba Du, the three big sales-carrying mountains have come to an end one after another, and he is to blame for that." Hayden replied.

"Didn't you just say that Viking Beimi didn't buy his account? Why did Paula, who signed with Viking, be blamed for his bad luck?" Song Ya asked.

Hayden smiled, "This is the problem with the title of president of Beimi Branch. He must be responsible for the bad luck. If there is a result, those label executives will all rush out to claim credit."

"Then how did he get selected as the best executive?"

"If he dismantles it like this, at least this year's financial statements will look good."

Song Ya stopped talking, and Daniel's dynamics must continue to be tracked. He is the only executive in the circle who has a good relationship and is qualified enough to top Motura.

Hayden also brought some information about Sony Columbia Records' internal executives according to his request. Basically, Motura's enemies in the company have been gradually wiped out by him. According to Gao Shu, next year he will be in the company. power will be greater.

Now only the management of Epic Records, where MJ works, doesn’t buy much from him. There is also Newman, who is the manager of NAS.

Had a few quarrels with him.

However, MJ must have a lot of friends inside Sony Columbia Records. Song Ya remembers the group of gloating and smirking executives he saw outside his office on the day Motura was angry because he was concealed from the MV content. Deliberately try to identify who it is.

"Is there anything else?" Hayden saw that he had been silent.

Song Ya glanced at him. If Mariah Carey changed her agent, this guy might not be able to do it, Donovan? Can consider it……

Song Ya even considered CAA, William Morris' opponent. William Morris's impression of him was really mediocre. They were still being hanged and beaten by CAA in Hollywood, and there was no sign of turning around as Goodman said.

In short, no agent would refuse to represent a DIVA, but there was no way to be sure that the other party could withstand Motura's coercion and temptation.

Fergie's agent, Jimmy, reminded himself that an agent is an extremely important position, and it is most closely bound to the interests of the employer, that is, Mariah Carey. At first, because he was the introducer, Mariah Carey If you are willing to listen to yourself, the tacit cooperation between the two parties may be very close. But after falling out with Motura, her manager will definitely have to consider the real interests, and maybe at that time, like Jimmy, she will make a choice that does not meet her expectations.

"It's okay." Song Ya pursed her lips.

"Okay, then I'll get busy. New York City wants to invite you and Ms. Kelly to the New Year's Eve in Times Square." Hayden stood up and said goodbye, "Some advertisers have also contacted me."

As soon as the song Empire State Of Mind came out, the New York City Hall became a cash machine for the two of them, withdrawing one million dollars a year, which was very stable.

"Oh, that's right." Song Ya put her arms around his shoulders, "I heard that you will be promoted to a senior partner by William Morris next year?"

"Yes." Hayden grinned uncontrollably, "You brought me all this APLUS. When we first met in 1990, I was just a small role in the Chicago office. Just over two years."

"At that time, I was even a poor boy. How much commission did you get for my first income?" Song Ya walked towards the garage with his arms around him.

"Five hundred knives, I remember it very clearly."

"Haha, are you still driving that broken Dodge?" Song Ya pointed to a new white Buick Boulevard in the garage, the highest version with a supercharger, "It's time to throw it away, look there, I'll give it to you Yes, a promotion gift."

"Wow." Hayden was moved, "Thank you APLUS, I really, really..." He went around the car and choked up a little.

"Come on, you can afford better ones yourself. It's nothing to you. They always laugh at me as Black Grandet, but I feel that you are more stingy than me."

Song Ya took out the car key from his pocket and threw it to him, "Go and try it, I just know you don't like foreign cars."

He spent a small amount of money to deepen his relationship with Hayden, and he went back and asked Taraji to find Daniel's phone number.

After staring at the landline for a while, I finally decided to make a call, but after pressing a few keys, I put down the receiver again.

It's still too early.

He planned to wait for MJ to finish the first stage of the world tour of Dangerous Journey, and go to Neverland to find out the news in person. Gao Shu said that MJ was dissatisfied with the sales of the new franchise, which is a good topic to cut into.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Amy Adams came and the bird snuggled into his arms.

"It's nothing, by the way, is your agent still Jimmy?" Song Ya asked, "Did he get a new job for you?"

"Yes." She counted on her fingers excitedly, "During the few days you went to New York, I shot a TV commercial in Los Angeles, about detergent, I played the daughter, there was... probably one or two shots There are also some print ads, which are used in Target stores, and I heard that his family will open ten stores in Chicago next year."

"Then this Jimmy is quite capable..."

Song Ya was a little surprised, "Did he plan a career path for you?"

"He gave me the address and phone number of some temporary acting classes, but I didn't sign up." The girl smiled sheepishly.

"Then why don't you go?" Song Ya asked.

"Let's talk about it later, I want to stay here with you, there are only two of us here, and you don't go out very much," she said.

"Um……"

Song Ya hugged her and didn't speak anymore, feeling a little complicated.
