Chicago 1990

"is this real?"

Until he left Sony Columbia Records headquarters, Song Ya still couldn't believe it in the car, flipping through the copy of the contract in his hand, for fear that there was some thunder buried in it.

"The contract is okay. It is exactly the same as what we submitted last time." Hamlin said: "In other words, Motula fully accepted your conditions. Your five years and two specialties, and the five years of A+ records. Distribution rights, nothing else."

"Shall we go back to have champagne?" Goodman suggested.

"Yeah, it's like dreaming, we should open a bottle of champagne...this is the best result, APLUS."

Samuel was also a little unbelievable, "I was thinking, if Motula proposed two plus one special, or a little more interest, I also intend to suggest that you recognize it, and reconciliation between your two parties is in your interest."

"Why! Why?"

Song Ya got a bargain, but he definitely couldn't fall asleep today if he didn't clarify the inside story. He dialed Mariah Carey's phone, "Mimi, are you at home? Are you asleep?"

"You..." Mariah Carey was flustered, "Don't come here..."

"Uh, I didn't mean that, did you say something to Tommy afterwards?" Song Ya was embarrassed. "He suddenly decided to match my offer. We are all set again!"

"Wow, that's right!"

Mariah Carey was very happy, "I left without telling him anything, what do you think I will tell him? Say you are in the office..."

"Uh, okay, forget it, you go to bed first, I still have a little reaction, I will be very busy tonight."

"Okay, bye."

"worship."

The two ended the call and returned to Tribeca, "What happened in these tens of minutes!? We have to find out!" Song Ya said loudly.

"What can happen, except for the world premiere of MJ's single MV." Hayden replied, and he reacted first. He rushed to the TV and kept changing channels to look for replays.

The picture moves from the block to the window of a family at a very fast speed. The popular child star Macaulay King is jumping and jumping in the room on the second floor, imitating the guitar solo in the stereo. This solo is actually by the gun flower band guitarist Finished, very exciting.

The father character downstairs was overwhelmed. He walked upstairs, taught Macaulay King a few words, and then unplugged his stereo power cord. When the door was closed, he was shaken by the MJ poster behind the door and fell off. On the ground, the glass shattered.

Macaulay King continued the style of being a house with an imp, pushing the giant speaker out, turning the volume to the maximum, flicking the guitar, and shaking his dad with the sofa, smashing through the roof exaggeratedly and flying to the sky above the earth. .

Afterwards, the main melody of the song sounded. MJ appeared accompanied by African tribe dancers, singing and dancing. He danced with Southeast Asian dancers, and turned into Indian style, and was surrounded by Indian riders. With the Slavic Kapac dance in the background of the Winter Palace, at the same time, MJ's dance steps will be transformed into the corresponding style, and the choreography is very innovative.

"The concept of world harmony." Hayden said.

"It's MJ, every MV is a work of art." Taraji looked at MJ on the TV with admiration.

After the middle rap, MJ stood on the torch of the Statue of Liberty,'But if you're thinkin' about my baby It don't matter If you're ;or white', after singing, people of all kinds appeared again This kind of constantly'changing face' under the processing of computer special effects still expresses his concept of the same world regardless of race and color.

"Is this the one in the legend that burned millions of knives in one minute?" Song Ya asked, and the computer special effects are just like that now. He remembers that the special effects in the original I Feel It Coming can completely crush the level in front of him.

"It should be." Hayden was closed with his mouth open, and he and the people present were shocked.

"It's more than two minutes longer than the single version."

The picture returned to the busy filming studio, which in the current movie language is probably equivalent to announcing the end, Yeremov said while looking at the watch.

"It's not over yet!" Taraji exclaimed, and a vigorous black panther appeared in front of the busy crowd.

"Black Panther?" Samuel frowned. It is easy for Americans to think of the Black Panther Party, a black society that was influenced by Chinese thought and tried to fight violently. It was active in the 1960s and 1970s.

"Wow, people don't like this now." Hamlin murmured.

"That is what you white people don't like." Taraji said.

Then there was MJ solo without accompaniment...

"Uh..." When the camera showed MJ a close-up of the dance steps under his crotch, even Taraji frowned. "Although this is MJ's iconic action, it is too..."

Indeed, this time I did too much. In the past, MJ's hand was still placed on the top of that part. This time he directly pressed it on the key part, and the other hand was still stroking the body, accompanied by shaking butt and Quite crotch.

"Is this broadcast simultaneously worldwide? Including wireless stations?"

Song Ya observed that as a standard resource-holding white elite, Samuel disliked this segment very much. The radio station marked that children in front of TV sets all over the world could also see this scene.

"Yes." Hayden replied.

Everyone's expressions are beginning to be a bit subtle. As MJ started to smash a car with racism slogans and KKK (white supremacist group) signs, and the glass windows of street shops, differences appeared...

The entire MV was eleven minutes long, and the four minutes after the Black Panther appeared seemed completely unnecessary. Once MJ tore his shirt and turned into a Black Panther and left, the MV was over, and the internal dispute between Song Ya's small group began.

"Violence, smashing cars, smashing shops, Chi Guoguo preached violence." Hamlin said.

"Hey, white man, it was a car with racist slogans. As a black man, didn't MJ smash it to show his attitude? As the most popular black man, he should have done this long ago." Taraji retorted.

The other white people stopped talking, and this topic is not easy to answer.

"APLUS, right?" Taraji looked at Song Ya.

"It's my shit." Song Ya didn't bother to analyze these incidents. "The question we need to know now is whether Motula was furious because of this MV, which caused him to suddenly switch to match my contract."

Everyone, look at me, and I look at you, but I can’t give an answer.

It was Yeremov who solved the problem.

"Gao Shusang." Song Ya saw Yeremov's old relationship for the third time.

"APLUS Sang, I'm glad you signed a contract with Sony, and our advertising cooperation can continue."

After the greeting, Gao Shu said: "As far as I know, MJ submitted a modified version to Motortura to pass the review of Sony Columbia Records. In that version, the smashed car did not have those slogans..."

"This difference is very small, right?"

"This represents two things. First, MJ didn't pay attention to Motura. In such an important event, MJ did it without telling Motura and many people in the record company. There are some content in the MV that the company president didn’t even know, which made Motula’s prestige completely lost and made us very shameless."

Gao Shu said: "Secondly, MJ can fight against racial discrimination and support disadvantaged racial groups, but he cannot make himself as if he has been racially discriminated against. He is fighting against racial discrimination. Looking around the world, who can discriminate against him? I'm afraid there is only Motula, and only our capital."

"So..." Song Ya understood. He immediately thought of David Geffen and Sandy Glenn, who are closely related to MJ, in their fights with Motula and kept communicating with him. Maybe they want to continue their struggle to this moment or even longer, so as to weaken Motura, so that Motura can't concentrate on dealing with them immediately...

"APLUS Sang, you know, we made big purchases in the United States. It was very irrational at the beginning. It can even be said that it was purely a temporary preference. Buying the Empire State Building gave the American people a hard blow. Buying impressionist paintings, because Impressionists have suffered from us. Ukiyo-e has a great influence, especially Van Gogh. No matter how much money he pays, he is willing to take his paintings to the book. There is a very subtle national psychology in it. And MJ, we like him, like him very much, we provide him The super contract, power, and trust that American whites will never give him..."

Song Ya felt that Gao Shu, who was calmly speaking in front of him, was actually very angry, very angry.

"No one accuses him. Some black people accuse him of getting whiter and whiter. It is good for him to openly explain the reason for the whitening of his skin. There is no need for him to please those black people in this way. And Motula as far as the way in a very embarrassing situation."
