Chapter 130 (1/2)
The meeting lasted until five o'clock, and everyone was off work.
Simon comes to the parking lot from the side door of the office building with the record company information compiled by Jennifer, only to see the female assistant standing in front of her car with the hood turned over and Neil Bennett bending over to help her check something.
Simon went over, looked at the engine and asked, ”what's the matter?”
Neil Bennett pulled his hand back from the engine and said to Simon, ”it won't start. It should be something wrong with the electronic control system.”
Simon listened to Neil Bennett's explanation, glanced at the engine again, felt that Jennifer was looking at herself expectantly, and said to the female assistant with a smile, ”don't you think I can repair a car?”
Jennifer felt Simon look at herself up close, shrunk her neck a little shyly, and said, ”you should know everything.”
Simon nodded with empathy and said, ”it seems a little. However, if I repair your car at this time, will my EQ be too low? ”
”Why?” said Jennifer
Simon pointed to his car and said, ”let's go. I'll take you home. Your car will be sent to the garage tomorrow.”
Her white cheeks turned red and she couldn't help looking out of the parking lot, where paparazzi were already taking pictures with their cameras. I felt dizzy. Unconsciously, I got on his SUV. When he asked me where I lived, I woke up and said, ”I'm still living in my uncle's house.”
Simon said with a smile, ”Georges, I don't think I've been there yet.”
So he told him the address of his uncle's house, reacted to it, and quickly explained it to Neil Bennett in the front row.
Like a restless fawn in a trap.
He noticed that the man beside him was smiling. He obviously enjoyed the disgusting appearance of her flustered state. Suddenly, he felt a little embarrassed and wanted to reach out and pinch him.
After a moment of awkwardness, or just a moment of awkwardness for her, he looked down at the papers in his hand and found another topic: ”how's Miss Johnston doing?”
Words export immediately feel, he is really stupid.
I know that.
Besides, it's a stupid question.
Simon did not turn his head, his eyes still fell on the document in front of him, and said, ”she is still in New York, and I will go there next week to spend Christmas with her. By the way, you can go there together, and you should go back to New York, too? ”
She nodded, quickly turned the topic away, looked at the record company files he had collected these days, and asked, ”are you going to open a record company?”
Simon shook his head and said, ”look first, but you'd better buy one. It's too much trouble to start from scratch.”
I think of it because of the song I wrote for Madonna.
Although it is an additional condition to persuade Madonna to take part in vulgar novel, this song can't be written in vain.
The specific contract was negotiated between Jonathan and Madonna's production company, with a basic salary of $100000, which is nothing for Simon. However, when the album hit the market, Simon's personal income immediately doubled.
Due to the popularity of ”celebration”, Madonna's current album is expected to sell more than 10 million copies worldwide.
As the songwriter of ”celebration”, Simon's personal position is similar to that of the screenwriter of Hollywood movies. According to the regulations of the American Records Association, songwriters can get a certain percentage of the revenue from the sale of each album. This rule has been implemented since the beginning of the 20th century, much earlier than the scriptwriters Union's video sharing clause. The original score of songwriters was 2 cents per record. After more than half a century of negotiation and revision, it has now risen to 7.5 cents.
So.
According to the global sales of 10 million copies of you can dance, Simon is expected to get a share of $750000.
Just like the share of TV broadcasting rights of film writers in addition to the income from video tapes, Simon can continue to obtain income from the TV broadcasting, concert performance, film and television episode authorization and other channels of ”celebration” in addition to the share of album sales.
