突然想起這篇新聞，就把它翻了出來 2010～2017要發十張專輯， 目前已經發了五張(TII、Michael、Immortal、Bad25、Xscape) Immortal不確定算不算在內 剩下的三年會再發五張？太密集了吧... ※ 引述《ChesterB (很難想)》之銘言： : http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/16/arts/music/16jackson.html : Michael Jackson’s Estate Signs Sweeping Contract : !!!!!驚歎號不夠用 翻個大意 印象之前是說MJ跟錢尼合約是到今年還明年 : Nine months after Michael Jackson’s death, his estate has signed one of the : biggest recording contracts in history, giving Sony, Mr. Jackson’s longtime : label, the rights to sell his back catalog and draw on a large vault of : unheard recordings. : MJ遺產公司 在MJ死後九個月 跟MJ長期的唱片公司錢尼簽下音樂史上最驚人的合約 : $ONY能發行MJ所有沒發行過新歌的權利 : Michael Jackson during a concert in Vienna in 1997. Mr. Jackson, who died in : June at 50, was the top-selling artist in the United States last year. : MJ是去年全美銷量最好的歌手 : The deal, for about 10 recordings through 2017, will guarantee the Jackson : estate up to $250 million in advances and other payments and offer an : especially high royalty rate for sales both inside and outside the United : States, according to people with knowledge of the contract who spoke : anonymously because they were not authorized to speak about it publicly. : 這合約將簽到2017年!! 包括十張專輯!!!! 保障了MJ遺產公司兩億五千萬的預付款!!!!!!! : 而在美國和國際版稅還會另外有高額收入 (遺產執行人抽成賺死) : It also allows Sony and the estate to collaborate on a wide range of : lucrative licensing arrangements, like the use of Jackson music for films, : television and stage shows and lines of memorabilia that will be limited only : by the imagination of the estate and the demand of a hungry worldwide market. : 同時同意$ONY能夠和各項產業合作 像是把MJ的歌用在電影 電視 舞台劇 紀念品 : 因為全世界現在都瘋狂想要MJ相關的東西 : “We think that recordings will always be an important part of the estate,” : John Branca, an entertainment lawyer who is one of the estate’s executors, : said in an interview on Monday. “New generations of kids are discovering : Michael.” : John Brance在本週一的訪問說 那些新專輯是遺產中很重要的一部分 新一代的小孩 : 將會重新發現MJ : “A lot of the people that went to see ‘This Is It’ were families,” he : added, referring to the Jackson concert film released in October. “ ‘This : Is It’ was one of the few films allowed into China. So we think there are : growing and untapped markets for Michael’s music.” : 去看TII很多是家庭 也是少數殺入大陸市場的電影 我想MJ的音樂市場價值水漲船高 : The first recording covered by the new contract is the “This Is It” : soundtrack, released last year, and Sony plans a new album of unreleased : recordings for November. : 第一張合約包含的專輯是TII的原聲帶 去年發行的 錢尼打算在今年十一月發行新專輯!!! : Sony’s contract is a bet on the continued appeal of Mr. Jackson, whose sales : spiked after his death in June at the age of 50. With overall record sales on : a decade-long plunge, mega-deals like this one have become rare, and Mr. : Branca said the deal “exceeds all previous industry benchmarks.” Five years : ago Bruce Springsteen signed a deal with Sony worth a reported $110 million, : and in 2008 Live Nation and Jay-Z struck a $150 million deal for recordings, : concert tours and other rights. : 錢尼的賭注是看好 MJ過世後瘋狂的CD銷量 像這樣的好交易可是很少見的= = : Branca說 這次的交易是打破音樂史紀錄 五年前Bruce Springsteen跟錢尼簽了一億一千萬 : 08年Live Nation和Jay-Z簽了一億五千萬的唱片合約和巡迴演唱權 : Demand for Jackson music has leveled off after the initial rush — in the : weeks after his death Sony scrambled to replenish retailers’ stock of any : and all Jackson titles — but remains high. Last year Mr. Jackson was the : biggest-selling artist in the United States by a wide margin, with 8.3 : million combined album sales and 12.4 million downloads of single tracks, : according to Nielsen SoundScan. Mr. Branca said that since his death Mr. : Jackson has sold more than 31 million albums, about two-thirds of them : outside the United States. : 這段 MJ唱片去年賣翻 美國賣了八百三十萬張 一千兩百四十萬次下載 : Nielson統計在去年就賣了三千一百萬張 2/3是在美國境外賣的 : But as record sales have tapered off over the last decade, licensing has : emerged as the biggest growth area for revenue from recorded music. And given : the success of the Beatles and the Elvis Presley estate in reissuing and : repackaging old albums as well as finding new uses for their music — like “ : Love,” the Beatles’ hit theatrical show by Cirque du Soleil — it is not : hard to imagine the direction that the Jackson estate might take in using old : recordings in new ways. : 有鑒於像貓王和披頭四重發專輯都賣很好 披頭四還在太陽馬戲團有秀 : MJ遺產公司也考慮拿舊唱片做新用途 : “It’s not just a record deal,” said Rob Stringer, chairman of the : Columbia/Epic Label Group, a Sony division. “We’re not just basing this on : how many CDs we sell or how many downloads. There are also audio rights for : theater, movies, computer games. I don’t know how an audio soundtrack will : be used in 2017, but you’ve got to bet on Michael Jackson in any new : platform.” : 錢尼底下Epic分布的老闆說 這不只只是個唱片合約 我們不只是關心唱片賣多少 : 下載量有多少 我們還有權利把音樂用在電影 電動遊樂器材 : 我不知道2017年音樂會被怎麼使用 但你可以猜想MJ到時絕對有新的平台 : 看完新聞不知該喜還該悲 : 喜的是果然是King 幹甚麼都破紀錄 Branca真的很會生財 不要把MJ招牌給砸了倒是 : 悲的是又被MJ討厭的錢尼分好大一杯羹阿~~~~~ : 今年有新專輯!!! 也不知該喜還該悲 七年出十張會不會太誇張阿~~~精選滿天?? -- always help the children, love them. --
