chapter 029

Back in Los Angeles, Martin began to get busy.

To continue shooting the remaining fragments of "Born a Couple".

Talk to Random House about the publication of his next book, Ready Player One.

There are also new developments in the review of his new screenplay "Paranormal Sixth Sense" in several major film companies.

Fortunately, there is Jeff, a reliable agent, who takes on most of the things for him.

When "Born a Couple" was finished, he flew to New York with his father Grant to meet Motura.

...

New York.

Columbia Records Headquarters.

In his palace-like office on the top floor, Martin met the tall, handsome head of Columbia Records.

"Hi, Motura."

"Hi, Grant."

The two handsome men hugged each other tightly and patted each other's backs, showing unusual friendship.

After parting, Motula looked at Martin on the side.

Martin quickly said hello, "Hello Mr. Motula." "

"Harrow, little Martin, do you remember, I met you when you were a child. If your father is willing to join Judaism, maybe I will be your godfather now. "

"Don't even think about it, our family is devout Christians."

"Yes, then, devout Mr. Christian, what do you want to do now when you find me a heretic? Burn me? "

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.

Martin laughed awkwardly, and couldn't get the laughter of these two at all.

"Okay, Motula, let's get down to business, you should have heard my son's music, what do you think?"

"How? You actually asked me what I thought? Haven't you heard? "

"Uh——!"

Grant showed an embarrassed expression.

He really hadn't heard of it, he was a little busy a while ago, and he only recently took time out.

In order not to lose time, Martin sent the sample directly to Motula.

Mortula shook his head and sighed: "If you had heard it, you wouldn't have asked such a question, you know, I envy you, you have a genius son." His music—"

Motula paused and organized the language, "How to say, his a cappella musical expression is a pioneer, not like the 'Acapella' oratorio or vocal imitation of musical instruments, but a new form of music that expresses rhythm completely with a variety of guttural sounds." "

"And what is even more shocking is his level of composition, every piece of music in this EP is a classic, the kind that can be passed down."

"Let me put it this way, his musical talent is no less than that of Mozart, Beethoven, Liszt, these accomplished masters."

Grant has been dumbfounded, and my son's musical talent is also so awesome?

"Motula, is it such an exaggeration?"

"No, I'm definitely not exaggerating."

Motula walked up to the bar and asked, "Grant, what would you like to drink?" Bourbon? Gin? Or agave? "

"Tequila."

"Little Martin, what about you?"

"Milk."

"Uh-"

Motula scratched his head with his little finger in embarrassment, "I don't have milk here." "

"So, juice?"

"Uh, no."

Martin looked at Grant, "If my father allows me, I'd like to taste some of your wine." "

"Don't even think about it!"

Grant flatly refused.

Then he said to Motula, "Just give him a glass of ice water." "

"Well, ice water has."

Modula poured Martin a glass and said apologetically, "Sauri, I forgot I don't have a child's drink here." "

"It's okay." Martin took the ice water and took a sip.

"Okay, let's get down to business."

Motula sat down on the opposite sofa, showing a good demeanor, and said lightly:

"Let's make sure of one thing now, Martin Jr. is a songwriter and he owns all the rights to the five pieces on this mini album?"

"Yes, he has." Grant nodded and said.

"Very good, then the second question, Martin Jr.'s record contract should not have been signed yet, right?"

"Nope!"

"Very good!"

"Then Columbia is willing to sign Martin Jr.'s record contract, but we also want to own 50% of all of Martin's original works."

"This can't be!"

Grant jumped.

Then the two began to talk and fight, completely without the enthusiasm of the reunion of friends just now.

Martin watched with interest as the two argued.

In the end, it was Motula who compromised.

Martin will sign a 3-year contract with Columbia Records, during which all the works created by Martin will be 20% copyrighted by Columbia Records, and Columbia Records will help Martin produce and distribute records….

Because now the record Martin has been produced, Colombia is only responsible for distribution and promotion.

Soon, Motula's assistant drew up the contract, which was signed by both parties.

Then Motula and Grant became good friends again, chatting passionately as if the previous dispute did not exist.

Martin blinked, thinking that this scene was quite magical.

...

After negotiating the record, Martin returned to Los Angeles and got busy again.

It's just busy with school, dealing with inquiries from classmates who are very curious about movies, and harassment by Dorothy and Lindsay.

"Martin, try the chocolate I brought."

"What's so delicious about chocolate, Martin, you see, this is a cookie made by my mother, it's delicious."

"Martin, I don't know this question, can you teach me?"

"Dorothy, you're not from our class, why do you always come over."

"Lindsay, believe it or not, I beat you up."

"Martin, she's going to beat me up, this rude woman."

Martin: "Shut up and let me be quiet for a while." "

The surrounding was quiet.

Mark Zackerberg looked at this scene enviously, thinking how nice it would be to have two girls fighting for me, and I didn't care if they were beautiful.

Back home, Martin received another call, it was Jessica's.

This little girl is going to join the group again recently, an unknown crew, playing a small supporting role similar to a background board.

"Martin, I had already won the supporting role with the lines, but was forced away by a guy with a background. It is said that the little bitch and the casting director did something that shouldn't have been done, that damn shameless guy. "

Since Martin returned to Los Angeles, Jessica has often called him, and after the two got acquainted, Jessica was too lazy to pretend to be well-behaved, and she spoke much more casually.

Martin didn't care, if she was really a well-behaved girl, how could she be mixed up in Hollywood until now, she would have been eaten dry and wiped clean or eliminated because she couldn't adapt.
