The legend of rebirth

Chapter 468 Job-hopping
"Here's the California music charts that air on time every Saturday on California Music Television.

Alright, I'm yawning after this week's lackluster playlist.

George, how about you? "

On the large LCD screen in Ye Luo's living room, the host Gary Gary rubbed his eyes, then turned to the guest beside him, George Bruce, the president of the California Music Association.

As soon as the seats in the studio were changed, a close-up of George's front was placed on the screen.

This is a silver-haired old man, probably in his 60s, with sharp eyes and a serious facial expression: "This week's performance album in California is a disaster.

Not every time a general is pulled out of the box, there will be Napoleon.This week's sixteen albums, which go under the table on tiptoe, are not only lackluster, but boring. "

"Wow, old George is still so spicy." Mai Ruina sat on the carpet in front of the sofa in the living room, doing yoga while laughing.

Song Yan was sitting on a single sofa chair, shaking a glass of red wine in her hand: "The president of the California Music Association, isn't he afraid of offending everyone?"

"Of course he is not afraid. He is the deputy director of EMI, and the record company in California is eager to climb into his lap so that he can enter the national music market." Melina explained.

Qin Shiyue sat on the sofa on the other side, her legs curled up, and she covered her feet with a long skirt, and said with a smile: "He is right, this week's performance records are not very good.

But what makes this place better than domestic ones is that there are at least [-] other albums that can be on the list, and there is no such kind of performance list in China. "

"In terms of music diversity, there is still a long way to go in China." Ye Luo, who was sitting on the sofa in the middle, smiled, drank a sip of red wine, then tilted her head slightly and said, "Sister Mai, you are blocking my view gone."

"Which part is blocked?" Melina asked.

Ye Luo rolled her eyes: "Ask knowingly."

"Mai Rui, your hips are so nice." Qin Shiyue asked at this time, "Do you have any secrets?"

"Do yoga." Mai Ruina said while stretching, "Yoga is very helpful for shaping the lower body. Shiyue, Song Yan, do you want to learn?"

"I haven't reached the age to rely on yoga to keep my figure." Song Yan said lightly.

The expressions of Mai Ruina and Qin Shiyue changed slightly at the same time. These two women are 25 years old and 26 years old this year, and Song Yan has just turned [-].

Song Yan's words undoubtedly touched their sore spot. Compared to Ye Luo, their age was a bit beyond the standard.

Ye Luo coughed and gave Song Yan a blank look.

Song Yan took a sip of red wine contentedly.

"OK, the last list to be announced this week is the pop music chart." On the TV, Gary's expression lifted slightly, and he continued, "Recently, there are many good songs in the pop music scene in California.

Previously, Mai Ruina's "Fighter" sold 650 million copies in California within a week. After the network fee download mode was launched, this is the best result California has achieved in the traditional record market in recent years.

I thought that Melina's album would stand out from the crowd for a long time.

As a result, a week later, the first album of their career, the little-known angel boys, sold 600 million copies.Considering the difference in fame between them and Mai Ruina, this result is almost unimaginable.

Then this week, another very strong album was released, and the sales this week reached a jaw-dropping 710 million copies.

This new female singer from the East actually killed Mai Ruina.

George, from your professional point of view, is it possible that this result has been mixed with some water? "

"Absolutely not," says George, "in fact the album was playing on loop in my car stereo for three days after I noticed it.

The song "Someone like you" seems to have a special magic power, which is an irresistible listening experience.Although the female singer is a newcomer, she is very experienced in singing. "

"George, you shouldn't have said the title track of the same name before I said the title of the album. You stole my lines," Gary grumbled, laughing.

"Haha, I'm sorry, I can't help it." George also laughed.

Song Yan picked up the remote control, and the TV screen went dark: "That's it. Xiao Qiong's record has been a huge success in the California market. Ye Luo, now a major record company has contacted me. We authorized the operation of this record in the national market, including EMI Records."

"Congratulations, Ye Luo." Melina said, "I didn't expect you to conquer the music market in California so quickly."

"One or two albums won't explain much." Ye Luo said modestly.

"It's going to be miserable for me." Melina said with a sad face, "Look, I've already become the object of comparison for your beauty records, and they all stepped on me."

"Don't make trouble." Ye Luo smiled, "I also made your record."

"But you didn't write most of the songs." Melina said, "I don't care, you have to help me write a new album."

"Isn't this appropriate?" Song Yan said lightly, "Mai Rui, you are working with Li Yin, your album can be directly promoted by Li Yin to the world, our Beauty Records can only cover the music market in the whole of California, If you cooperate with us, you will suffer."

Mai Ruina smiled slightly, and said to Song Yan: "If I terminate the contract with Liyin and then switch to Beauty Records, President Song, do you dare to accept it?"

"There's nothing you dare not do." Song Yan smiled slightly.

"I signed a ten-year contract with Liyin, and there are still more than three years left." Mai Ruina said, "The amount involved in the breach of contract is more than 6000 million U.S. dollars. Of course, I will bear the liquidated damages myself."

"Wait..." Ye Luo felt wrong, "Mai Rui, are you serious?"

"Of course it is serious." Mai Ruina said, "Liyin is currently obsessed with operating the records selected by major labels. They pay more attention to the operation of the capital field, while their own creative team has high-sightedness and low-handedness. match.

Now the pressure of record production is basically on my side, Liyin can contribute very little, I am very dissatisfied with this.

I had to form a private team for this, to be in charge of the production of the record, and I put a lot of energy into it.

They invited me over when they were originally rolling, they have better music producers, such as Hanguan. "

Speaking of this, Mai Ruina glanced at Qin Shiyue, but found that Qin Shiyue's expression did not fluctuate at all, so she continued: "Now that Ye Luo has his own company in the United States, although it is currently only a medium-sized label, But I believe that Beauty Company will have a brighter future under his leadership.

And I think, whether it's Ye Luo or Song Yan, although you are very talented, in the American music circle, you are still newcomers after all, and you may need the help of me and my team. "

Mai Ruina's words were very serious, which made Ye Luo a little confused.

"You have to think clearly." Ye Luo immediately came back to his senses after a brief surprise, and said in a deep voice, "Leaving Liyin and joining Meiren, you are equivalent to giving up the world's music market."

"Just give up for the time being." Melina said with a slight smile.

"Okay." Before Ye Luo could say anything, Song Yan put down her wine glass and said, "Since Mai Rui is sincere enough to join us, we will pay the 6000 million US dollars in liquidated damages. This is our sincerity.

Dong Ye, what do you think? "

Ye Luo rolled her eyes, and thought to herself that she is indeed a rich girl who spends money without blinking an eye. With this sentence, 6000 million US dollars will be gone. Where can I find money now?
Xiao Qiong's record profits have not been confiscated, and even if they are collected, the current sales volume of more than 700 million copies is only about 2000 million US dollars, what about the other 4000 million?
But having said that, for a world-class singer like Melina to join the beauty, the liquidated damages should indeed be paid by the beauty company, which is equivalent to the transfer fee.

Moreover, Mai Ruina's joining is of great benefit to Beauty Company.Her private team can improve the beauty company a lot professionally.Moreover, her joining will undoubtedly greatly enhance the reputation of the beauty company in the United States and even the world.

Not to mention that she herself is one of the most singing women in the world, and even the best songwriting woman, bar none.

Song Yan was obviously aware of all of this, so even though she didn't agree with Mai Ruina personally, she immediately made a suggestion to Ye Luo.

This decisiveness and courage made Ye Luo secretly heartbroken.

So at this moment, Ye Luo didn't hesitate for long, and immediately made a decision: "Then it's settled."
