Chicago 1990

In the early hours of that night, Hayden paid for a taxi at the entrance of a hotel not far from the airport in New Jersey. He came down to cover his face with a briefcase, walked through the flashing lights and calls of paparazzi, and was greeted into the lobby by the hotel security.

"The boss is waiting for you." The bodyguard guarding here led him into the elevator.

"Why live here?" Hayden looked at the elevator car. This hotel is not good, at least not for his boss.

"We were only notified by the crew to strike when we arrived at the airport to protest against the frequent flight missions recently." The bodyguard replied.

"Hehe, no one flies a plane for our big star."

Hayden spit out a little with a smile, walked to the door of the hotel's penthouse suite, nodded and greeted Mavota, then straightened his face and walked in lightly.

"Your song is placed in an independent music library under the Sony Music Copyright Corporation, or in the new company after they merge with ATV. There is no actual loss to you. It is nothing more than the management of the track being taken to a different entity. It's just inside."

The light in the suite is a bit dim, and Song Ya is leaning on the sofa and listening to Newman’s words, “On the contrary, there are benefits in terms of economic benefits. The larger the copyright library, the higher the authorized income, because...”

"I know these Newmans."

Song Ya took a sip of whiskey impatiently, "I thought you would help me find a remedy when you came here, instead of persuading me, you should understand how much this matter hurts me, you, Daniel and the others. You are Mimi's manager, you should persuade him."

"I didn't persuade, I didn't even know in advance, but it has already happened, we should look forward."

Newman was also very helpless, "We can't look back, Mimi expressed his opinion to Sony, now even if she persuades her to change her mind, Sony will no longer believe the rhetoric that we and Daniel co-edited, our Maginot line of defense was breached. Now, the so-called remedy is probably to retreat with dignity as much as possible. APLUS, don’t make the situation worse because of the conflict of mood."

"Decent? That's me, all the singers under my A+ record, Fergie, Common and others have half the copyright and track management rights for all songs released through Sony Columbia Records, as well as your Mimi and NAS, and those of Shakira. Follow our little singer."

Song Ya raised the volume, "In the future, we will have to pay MJ to sing our own songs, just like Paul McCartney's experience."

"That's just boring gossip. The merger of MJ's ATV and Sony Music Rights is just a very ordinary capital operation. Didn't you see it very openly before? I remember that you made a joke, saying that if every major distribution company Buying one share of each stock does not mean that all singers have to pay you for singing their songs?"

Newman smiled and persuaded: "Isn't it good to keep that kind of mentality? Learn Paul McCottney, he is completely acceptable now, every time he is asked a related question, he will help clarify that he and MJ I have never had any grievances, and I am even in the mood to make up some jokes and laugh at myself."

"It's different, you know it's different from Newman." Song Ya shook his head, his eyes became a little deep, "Why can't the person who made up the jokes be MJ?"

"what!"

Newman shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Anyway, don't be impulsive. You throw away Mimi's hand in front of the paparazzi and get in the car and leave alone. It's already known to everyone. Now the entertainment news is talking about this. Let's deal with the immediate trouble. Is it okay? You will show off your love with Mimi in public tomorrow, and then tell the media that it was just a small conflict between the husband and wife last night, and everything is over. This is good for both of you."

Hayden heard this and walked to the TV.

"Don't touch that thing Hayden, don't open it! I don't want to see it." Song Ya shouted at him.

Hayden put his hands down awkwardly and smiled.

"What are you doing recently?" Song Ya asked.

"Uh, I flew to the Bahamas. Didn't you confess to renovating the house on the island?" Hayden rubbed his hands and confessed honestly: "That's a big project.

"Shut up, you." Song Ya didn't want to listen to him.

"Boss, Ms. Sloan is here." Linda pushed the door in.

"I have to persuade Mimi, you should be busy, don't be impulsive APLUS." Newman asked a few hurried farewell.

"You shouldn't call Gordon and ask him to find a way to explode some MJ material on A+CN."

After I fired Eli, apart from political affairs, all public relations affairs belonged to Ms. Sloan. This elite woman who kept her exquisite appearance all the time put her coat and bag aside and immediately went to work. "He is a senior non A media person of American descent, temporarily working for you, he may not be loyal to you and keep secrets for you in this life. That is MJ, he will never help one light of African descent to backstab another light of African descent, you show him After this state, you have to risk that he suddenly broke the news in the future or wrote it in some memoirs or other books. Even ten or twenty years later, it may cause serious damage to your personal image. African Americans are natural. I think you and MJ should unite, white people...hehe, just look at the jokes."

"Unity? What did his lawyer just tell me about the kid king! His way of being kid king is to make my wife make a very stupid decision? He hurt me and the relationship between me and Mimi."

Song Ya waved his hand irritably, "I'm not the kind of person who is fooled and nothing happens. Gordon told me that MJ is facing a crisis now, he and his insurance company..."

During the negotiations between MJ’s ATV and Sony Music Copyright, the reporter asked why MJ insisted that Sony had to pay him a huge sum of hundreds of millions to balance the transaction. Is it because the settlement of the 1993 case caused his cash flow. Nervous, his response was that the settlement amount was not large, and his insurance company was willing to help pay.

This sentence immediately caused a lot of turmoil, because according to California law, insurance companies are not allowed to pay premiums for vicious cases committed by customers, otherwise they will face legal sanctions and huge fines. The stock price of that insurance company fell sharply and was frightened. The company's executives hurriedly jumped out to clarify, saying that it is impossible to pay the money for MJ.

This incident has now evolved into the same Rashomon case as in the 1993 case. The insurance company said that it did not pay. MJ knew that he had made a mistake and did not respond. However, outsiders speculated that the insurance company was actually willing to pay because MJ continued to fight. They will lose even more if the lawsuit is suspended, so a tabloid broke the news that the two parties had reached a secret transaction at that time. The insurance company violated the regulations and helped to pay a part of the settlement. MJ agreed to end the civil lawsuit as soon as possible.

This matter has been concealed by the heat that the Simpson case is about to be pronounced in October, and it hasn't been a big deal, but if you can really get involved in the prosecution through the media, it will definitely be enough for revenge.

"So Gordon would do it?" Ms. Sloan asked.

"He doesn't want to." Song Ya sighed, "You are right. He doesn't want to help me deal with another African-American light. I shouldn't have said this to him rashly."

"Even if he wants you, you can't do it through the affiliated media. That's stupid."

Ms. Sloan said: "You are the boss of a lot of media, but the people who do things for you are all living people. You can't respond with the click of a mouse in the game. The more people you give orders to deal with MJ. , It is equivalent to handing out the knives. One day after they quit, they might turn their heads and give you a back stabbing. I understand that you are very angry now, but the more this is the time, the more you need a cool head."

"Two top African-American superstars must not get to this point, boss." Linda also persuaded, "Business is business. MJ has overwhelmed you in business. If you retaliate against him viciously, it will break the bottom line. , Others are not bad, right? You used to say that his case in 1993 was absolutely innocent, and he should not be treated like this by us."

Song Ya turned his face and looked out the window without answering.

Inner City Broadcasting Company, A+CN...There are too many Ngers in its media, he thought to himself, including Linda, Gordon...

The Louise report, American music magazine and website are mostly white people, but the outside world also knows that it is their own industry. Secondly, the influence of tabloids and new media on public institutions is very low, far inferior to inner city radio. The company’s several big radio stations and the upcoming A+CN have credibility, and they will cause trouble if they fail to achieve their goals.

If you want to fight back against MJ, you must never go through them. Even if your reputation has been severely hit, even if there are countless malicious rumors about him among the black people at the bottom, MJ's basic disk is still very stable and he is very strong.Unless you join forces with the group of people who dealt with him at the time, although it is not clear whether there is a behind-the-scenes organization, Oprah should be involved...

But I also hate that woman...

Forget it, Ms. Sloan is right. The hilt of the knife can't be passed to that kind of person, even if she got some conclusive evidence of her fraudulent donation after injecting capital into the Inner City Broadcasting Corporation, Song Ya shook her head and thought. Get out.

"Is it possible that the copyright merger between Sony and ATV is not restored?" Ms. Sloan asked.

Song Ya said with a sullen face, Linda nodded to her, "Just now we had a phone call with Sony’s Mr. Hirai, and he told us that we have reached an agreement with MJ, and Sony’s decision will not change. With a boss The copyright of Mimi, Fergie, NAS and others were added, and MJ made major concessions in balancing the amount of the transaction. It is because of this money that Sony has dragged him to the present, and the company’s life is not easy."

"Except for all of us who are very happy to see this deal concluded, the committee behind MJ’s wife, Elvis’ daughter Lisa Presley, has long been looking forward to it. There are also many popular stars and old stars in the copyright libraries of both parties. Singer."

Hayden also joined in, "We left the copyright independent and did not participate in the transaction, which caused the transaction to be delayed for a period of time. These people can still understand it, but now, if we want to make the transaction pornographic, then it is not MJ that offended. "

Song Yafu took a deep breath, and his wife played too hard, too suddenly, and said, "Set this aside beforehand. Who on earth gave Mimi this idea? I must find that person! Sandy Glenn?"

"Sandy Glenn was the one who was swept out by MJ, is he so kind?" Linda asked.

"Perhaps he is expecting the boss to fight MJ?" Hayden said.

"Impossible, Miss Kelly is APLUS's wife, and the two may turn around and reconcile, so can Sandy Glen continue to be Miss Kelly's agent?" Sloan said.

"Then let's rule it out one by one. Mimi is not stupid. She will not listen to the slanders of those who are in the same relationship." Song Ya thought for a while, "Brenda?"

"It's even more impossible, Brenda has no brains, she can't even think of going up there." Linda smiled.

"Why do you pretend to reconcile the boss first and tell the truth from Mimi?" Several people found out the people close to Mariah Carey and eliminated them one by one. They all felt not, and Hayden came up with an idea.

"What then? Turn your face and start revenge and divorce?" Linda glared at him. "That's too scumbag."

Song Ya was in a bad mood, the atmosphere in the room was dignified, and Daniel called when it was about to dawn.

"Sorry APLUS, I was a bit gaffe yesterday."

Daniel said in a lonely tone: "I talked to Mr. Shuerhoff, the president of Sony Beimi overnight, and that's it for the merger. We can't do anything. The headquarter has already decided. I believe they will sign with MJ soon. ."

"I know."

Song Ya talked with him for a long time, basically it was some nonsense to warm up each other. Daniel did not deny that Sony's trust crisis in him has deepened, but he feels that it can be maintained for now. In turn, he also persuaded Song Ya and Mariah Carey to show publicly. Xiu Enai, business is business, at least two people should not make negative news on the stage during the new monopoly.

"Boss, the captain woke up, he agreed to go around." Linda reported.

"Do you want to go back to Chicago?" Ms. Sloan was a little surprised, "Not with your wife today..."

"For the time being, let everyone calm down." Song Ya got up, "Linda, pack things up."

Shortly after his motorcade drove out of the hotel towards the airport, an extended Lincoln stopped outside the hotel.

Mariah Carey pouted her mouth in the car and refused to get out. Newman next to her kept persuading her: "Miss Kelly, bow her head and admit her mistake. APLUS was only in anger last night, and he will forgive you."

"I don't need his forgiveness, he... he's bothered, asshole, and treats me badly... it's being played repeatedly on TV. He throws my hand away, I'm ashamed!"

She cursed while arranging her hair, "Now I want to apologize to him!?"

"You can do it well."

Brenda complained on the other side, "My album will be released early next year."

"You think of yourself at this time!?" Mariah Carey glared at her.

"Haha..." Brenda curled his mouth and shook his head, "Yes, I think about myself, and I don't know who portrayed the character based on me in the movie as a vicious bitch that suppresses newcomers! This account I haven't asked you to count it! When you weren't red before, I was good to you. When Xing Meng Tears was released, I would become a bad guy instead?"

"Uh... it's a movie, it's art, and the plot needs to be considered..."

Mariah Carey retorted weakly, "It’s the director and screenwriter who did that. Don’t blame me. The big deal is that you will be brought with you when the movie is announced, and I will clarify it for you personally. In the movie, it’s Patty who plays my mother. Well, my mother did not complain that she was written as a black man..."

"Really? Oh, I get it."

Sandy Glen put down the phone at this time, "Don't bother the two ladies, APLUS has already set off for the airport, and he seems to be going back to Chicago this morning."

"That little bastard!"

Mariah Carey cried immediately, "I was never willing to coax me more..."

"Then we..." the driver asked back.

"What are you doing, driving, let's go to the airport!" Mariah Carey patted her hands on the wide seat.

The black car drove into the familiar tarmac. Mariah Carey ran out of the car and almost tripped over her high heels. She simply threw off her shoes. Regardless of the crying makeup and the wind at the airport, she carried her skirt to Song Ya’s motorcade. , "What about others?" she asked the drivers who were smoking and chatting next to the car.

A driver pointed to the sky, and the beautiful Gulfstream plane was whizzing into the white clouds.
