Chicago 1990

"Mj said that he lacks being treated sincerely. In front of such emotional people, maybe I should give up talking about the interests and choose to cry and beg for help."

On the way out of Dream Manor, Song Ya complained.

"Will you?" Donovan asked.

"Nonsense, of course I can't do it." Song Ya rolled his eyes.

The old Mike who was driving suddenly reported, "There is a car following behind."

The two in the back seat turned their heads and looked through the rear window, "It's okay, it's Sandy Glen's car," Donovan said.

"They are flashing the lights, do you want to stop?" Old Mike asked.

The headlights of Sandy Glen’s car flickered, "Stop it." Song Ya glanced ahead, just not far from the roadside guard post outside Dream Manor, "stop there."

Old Mike pulled the car over at the guard post.

"You are out of Sandy." Donovan got out of the car with a smirk, and said to Sandy Glen, who got out of the back car, "I think aplus made it very clear just now."

After seeing mj, disappointed Song Ya was very dissatisfied with Sandy Glenn's failure to help support her, and naturally would not ask him for Mariah Carey's agent.

"Congratulations, but I didn't make an appointment for Mariah Carey."

Sandy Glen and Lee Phillips also got out of the car, "Mr. David Geffen is on the way up front. I told him that you are also there. He plans to talk to you first."

"Talk here?" Song Ya asked, looking out of the car.

"That's it."

"Okay." California was very bright in mid-July. Fortunately, this private driveway was located on the edge of the Priest National Forest, and several people hid in the shade of the nearby trees.

"Aplus, what did you talk to mj just now?" Sandy Glen asked.

"Didn't he tell you? You are his agent." Song Ya asked back.

"Look, this is the problem." Sandy Glenn and Lee Phillips looked at each other with a rather worried taste. Lee Phillips took out the exquisite cigarette case and gestured for it. Everyone waved their hands, and he ordered it himself. It started to smoke.

The conversation was interrupted so much and could not continue. Soon, a Rolls-Royce Phantom 6 drove from the opposite direction, and David Geffen arrived, "Hey, Sandy, Lee, Donovan." The tycoon Wearing a Hawaiian shirt is like coming to vacation.

"Aplus, how is the preparation of the movie?" he asked for a greeting.

"Uh, it's hard to say, it's much more complicated than making a record. I'm working hard." Song Ya shook his hand.

"Haha, yes, I had the same experience as you." David Geffen tilted his head and motioned, "Come with me."

The two talked while walking far away, "What will Motula do to you?" he asked.

"I don't know, our Mr. President always has a lot of imagination when doing bad things behind his back." Song Ya humorously.

"Haha, I appreciate your mentality and keep it up." David Geffen smiled, "You pried her woman away."

"Mimi is free."

"Yes, she is free, but everyone knows that she belongs to Motura, which will embarrass him."

"Wow, your words are a bit discriminatory, women are not someone's property." Song Ya said.

"Ok, when I didn't say it." David Geffen's personal image is a pioneer of same-sex equality, of course, it does not affect this two-way plug in Hollywood and the record industry.

"Sorry, I overreacted a bit."

"It's okay." David Geffen waved his hand with a smile, "So... you came to mj for support, right?"

"Yes, I need support, maybe you can help me when I launch a rebellion," Song Ya said.

"Anything that can make Sony Columbia Records bad we are willing to do." David Geffen also said that most of his business is in cooperation with the Universal Department, including Universal Studios and mca Records. "But we must not make mj Hurt."

"I understand that I am friends with him, and besides, I still need his help." Song Ya nodded, "He is the king of pop. I'm just a newcomer singer who has just posted a special.

"Ha! Newcomer singer..." David Geffen laughed shortly, "Perhaps we will have a chance to cooperate when you find your next job. Remember, the door of Geffen Records is always open to you."

"Thank you, Mr. Geffen." Song Ya heard that the other party was not optimistic about the rebellion he launched, but still didn't want to reveal the tapes. This kind of boss is absolutely uncontrollable.

"You don't like men, do you?" David Geffen turned back to the car.

"Of course." Song Ya followed him.

"That's good, no one likes to pry their own women and plan to overthrow their own subordinates, and I have no scruples in this regard." David Geffen blinked at him, "Maybe you will find yourself There are not many choices."

"Perhaps."

Song Ya smiled bitterly. The other party was not very polite today, but what he said is not unreasonable. If he is driven out of Sony Columbia Records if the rebellion fails, it is really hard for the other five major record companies to dare to accept such a sting.

"Ok, that's it."

David Geffen patted him on the shoulder, sat back in Rolls Royce, and went to Dreamland with Sandy Glen.

"Donovan."

Song Ya was not in a hurry to get into the car, looked at the taillights of the two cars and asked: "Just now MJ was inside and told me that he was tired of someone saying win-win things in front of him. Among them was David Geffen. Is there anything to say with the example of Madonna? Mj doesn't seem to trust him much."

"He and Madonna?"

Donovan thought for a while, "Madonna has her own record company under Warner's banner, and often helps Warner recruit singers. David Geffen is similar. After he sold Geffen Records to mca of the Universal Department, he also has interests in mca records. So both of them have the motive to try to seduce the King of Pop to their side."

"Sony gave mj such a big contract, the liquidated damages must be sky-high, others can't dig it?" Song Ya asked.

"Who knows, David Geffen helped mj drive away the former agent Dirio and marginalized the lawyer Blanca in return. He gave mca the management rights of the North Rice tracks in the atv copyright library, which used to be EMI ."

Donovan recalled: "mj also forced Sony to drive away the homophobic Yetnikov, the former president of Columbia Records. Sony then chose Motora. To some extent, Motora is David Ge. Finn and Yetnikov are the direct beneficiaries of their grievances."

"They shouldn't be friends, right? David Geffen was watching a show when I was fighting with Motula in 1991, and he taught me a lot of things." Song Ya asked.

"Friends? Hehe, friends don’t matter in the face of interests. He has interests in mj, but not in Sony Columbia Records." Donovan replied, "Of course, I don’t know how they do it in private. All this is hard to say. He controls his business very well, and the distribution of benefits is extremely complicated and subtle, like a cloud of fog, no one can tell how this huge empire works."

"Anyway, David Geffen is his ally, right?" Song Ya asked again.

"But you just saw it. Several friends of David Geffen, Sandy Glen, Lee Phillips, and Botfields are all locked out, leaving only Aaron, who is relatively shallow and detached. Grubman," Donovan said.

"Political balance ah?"

"Anyway, I guess the honeymoon period between mj and David Geffen will be over. I won't let the people around you be friends of another industry tycoon." Donovan said: "Mj has clear ideals, he To build his own recording empire, he would not hesitate to get rid of the people who tried to control him, Dirio, Quincy Jones, and now it's David Geffen's turn."

"Fxxk, in this case, he will not help me deal with Motura." Song Ya scolded.

"What are you going to do?" Donovan asked, "William Morris is on your side in this rebellion. If it fails, many singers under my agent may also be liquidated by Sony Columbia Records. , Massage Tula’s character is definitely done."

"Don't worry, I will renew the contract with you next year. Mariah Carey’s agent has asked you to talk, and I will also provide support."

Song Ya comforted him.

At this time, the phone rang, it was Gao Shu, "Come to the headquarters, Mr. Shuerhof wants to see you."
