Chicago 1990

"Matthew Norris just called me. It seems a bit new."

The next day, Linda reported on the company’s affairs as usual, “He is testing the possibility of transferring the Music World Entertainment label to other record companies.”

"I want to be beautiful, I begged me to take in like a dog..."

At present, a+ Records has two small affiliated labels, basically following the traditional model of the recording industry. A+ Records owns 50% of the two labels and provides assistance in production, distribution, promotion and other aspects, but does not interfere with the specifics. Operating.

One of them is Matthew Norris’s bluffing Music World Entertainment Records, which mainly manages the rhythm and blues girl group Destiny’s True Girl, one is Damon Dash and jazzy’s roc-a- record, and there is a minority shareholder card. Rimpok has been in jail, and there is only one rapper under his banner, jazzy.

Needless to say, jazzy, according to the apocalypse, should be the first person in the original world line, and the c-bit of Destiny, the eldest daughter of Matthew Norris, Beyoncé, is the if i were a boy singer who just got the apocalypse yesterday!

Beyoncé's singing skills in "if i were a boy" are perfect, and her figure will evolve from the current lean to the mature wind of the apocalypse mv, which is protruding and curving. The comfort of this omission is always ahead of the apocalypse. , So how can he foolishly let go of the future gold mine now.

This is also different from the 20% singer who let Shakira let go. At that time, I agreed with Estefan’s request mainly because he didn’t want Shakira to be dragged down by her troubles, and for Matthew Norris, he was Without this moral burden, my cousin Emily is already an official member of the Destiny Girl team.

"Matthew Norris should have heard something, right?" he asked Linda.

"Does this still need to be heard? The rumors that Motura will come back after Daniel resigns are already well known." Linda replied: "The smart guy like Matthew Norris must be worried that we will be dragged down by the release. neck."

"Think beautifully." Song Ya pouted.

"Foxy brown is here." Taraji pushed in and reported.

"Yo." It didn't matter with his face full, foxy brown, who was a hip-hop girl, followed Taraji and played a complicated set of punches with Song Ya.

"From next year, you will also join the Destiny True Girl group and be responsible for the rap part." Song Ya confessed the arrangements for the girls. "Then my a+ record will also help you release a solo album next year, and the track is ready. right?"

Foxy Brown helped himself mess up, messed up, and created internal conflicts on the def jam record. At a young age, he had a lot of toss. The major shareholder of def jam, Polygem, was troubled by her. They were willing to give in and pay a lot of money. One of the factors to buy yourself and Daniel leave.

Huang Yuan, who was also of Chinese descent, had promised to take care of her. Of course, he could not cross the river and demolish the bridge. He had to give the girl in return. After Polygem lost the constraints of the minority shareholder of def jam, it is likely to be disadvantageous to her. The singer appointment was transferred to a+ records.

This is part of the transaction that I withdrew from def jam. "I bought some additional lyrics and music from def jam that they prepared for you, and it will be your sixteen-year-old gift." He said to foxy brown, "You first Go back to Chicago to make an album, and I will let jazzy in New York take care of you while I am playing.

"Jazzy, cool."

The girl is not afraid of everything, and she is thankful for raising her chin to the boss.

"Well, that's it, go ahead and do it well."

Song Ya encouraged Taraji to take her away, "Uh, she adds Emily, so that the Destiny Mother will return to the early configuration of the six people. Give Matthew Norris a little sweetness. After all He wants to help me take care of two restless girls." He rubbed his brows and confessed to Linda.

Although Matthew Norris is cunning, despite the fact that teenage rebellious girls are very clever, the overall atmosphere of the Destiny True Girl can be regarded as a clear stream in the black girl group. This is also because he can trust Emily and foxy brown to hand over. The reason in his hand.

"Matthew Norris likes to stay in Los Angeles, he thinks there are more opportunities there, because his eldest daughter Beyonce wants to try to develop into the film industry." Linda said.

"Well, he told me about this before..."

Song Ya thought for a while, according to the age of Apocalypse mv Li Beyonce, it should be a long time later, maybe more than ten years later, then when will she become popular?Now we can’t be too harsh on her and her father. Try to maintain a long-term cooperation. It should be coaxed, and the flower should be spent. "Allocate a certain amount of money to announce the name of the Music World Entertainment Records and pay for the basic expenses of the Destiny Girl in Los Angeles Sell ​​it, if they want to record songs there... Just let Mr. David Geffen help. Although his Geffen records are sold, they still have a good recording studio in Los Angeles. The studio rent is included in the album. We will pay half of the production costs, and the other half will also help them to advance. As for the film opportunities...I will consider it after I finish this time."

"OK." Linda noted, "Mr. Takaki changed the meeting place between you and John Cali to the golf club near Bedford Hills."

This is the business, Song Ya slowly thought about it for a while, and asked, "What do you think of Linda."

"Promise, I think this is an opportunity. It is 100% that John Carly will replace Motula as the president of North Missoni Entertainment. He is likely to be in charge of Columbia Pictures at the same time. No matter how reserved you are, it will be unnecessary to make enemies."

Linda persuaded: "After taking office, he will inevitably try to eliminate Motula's influence at Sony Entertainment in the past two years. Just like Daniel before, you have a natural foundation for cooperation. And..."

"And what?" Song Ya asked after seeing her hesitating to speak.

"Moreover, our a+cn and Inner City Broadcasting Company’s attack on Motura cannot continue in this way. The audience is a bit bored now. Gordon said that everyone wants to see something happy during Christmas, otherwise, and The ratings task of Comcast's second milestone node will be completely broken, which is very detrimental to the follow-up channel resources of a+cn." Linda said.

"It's already very unfavorable. Gordon's focus on the Simpson case was a big mistake from the beginning, I just didn't pursue it." Song Ya is a bit disgusted with this Gordon now, mj refuses to do that. Don't forget the helper, now your attitude is changing halfway through the Motura discrimination incident?He turned up the old account in his heart.

"Now that the basic investment areas such as the Internet and telecommunications lines are very prosperous, Comcast has decided to focus the group's energy in that direction, and the speed of expanding TV network users has obviously stagnated..."

Linda said: "The promotion plan we will prepare for a+cn next year will also rely on their and Northern Trust’s co-investment. If they account for 29% of the shares, 2.9 million of the 10 million promotion fee is They have to bear the additional."

"It's all a small amount of money for them." Song Ya said that the big head is still on his own.

"But now the situation is different. A+cn didn't show the potential that everyone thought it was. They definitely didn't pay the money." Linda smiled bitterly.

"Incompetent Gordon, you give him a hint for me, I will only give him another year."

Song Ya felt that Johnson, the boss of bet, had all praised Gordon. After all, after many years of cooperation, Johnson knew more about his subordinates than he did. "Okay, I will meet John Carley."

"I called Elizabeth Taylor last night and she relayed Mj's attitude on her behalf. Mj didn't think that Motula would go to work with hard copy."

After working in Warner Bros. Pictures for many years, John Carley must have a good relationship with Elizabeth Taylor. He is a fat white man with round glasses. He is sixty-five years old this year. He is not very old. The outside world judges that his style is very old-fashioned and dogmatic. After a brief understanding, I found a chance to be alone on the green and started talking about business with a golf club. "So this time your threats to each other should stop here. It's a little bit beyond the bottom line. Motula's ex-wife is an abc record. The daughter of the former president, she also called Mr. Stringer and me to express her concern."

"So Sony is ready to confuse the mud again?" Song Yajie asked: "When my anti-discrimination speech comes out, what will mj do?"

"I don't know, I don't know much about the recording industry."

John Carli helped his glasses and glanced at Gao Shu who was waiting in the distance. "I don't want to guess. In short, it seems that MJ doesn't want to give up his manager, and the people basically don't care about the people behind the star or what the senior record company is. Who, unless you are like you, pull out Motula and stare at the attack. If you remove the hard-copy article, Motula is maintaining amazing restraint in Sony’s eyes, which is not good for you aplus, you and Mariah Carey is a star, and now the follow-up fermentation of that article has begun."

"I think I have an advantage now."

Song Ya is not a person who gave in by a little bit of art. "From the timing and content of that article, I don't think anyone else but Motula would do this. I advise you and mj to continue to investigate, although he This time it may be very hidden..."

He boasted, "I have studied some hard copy backgrounds. Their TV station has been using Paramount channel resources, and Motura and Paramount have long-term cooperation with Viacom’s mtv station. He once tried to get The mtv guys yin on me. I will find the opportunity to ask Viacom boss Mr. Redstone. He admires me very much."

"We will check."

John Carley smiled, "I will also ask Paramount President Shirley Lansing. In short, you can rest assured that I, Mr. Stringer and Sony have enough ways to find out the truth. "

"But won't you check it for me? You just want to talk about the public relations storm that I'm about to launch." Song Ya said.

"In addition to you, there is also the pressure of MJ. He also wants to know if his manager is doing what he is doing, and other African singers and actors under our banner. Your energy is very big aplus, the extreme pressure makes Sony It's a headache, they...gave me some power to make peace with you."

John Carly replied: "Of course, everyone doesn't want any protests, speeches, and parliamentary proposals. You can't be too tough on this point, otherwise you are everyone's enemy, and the situation will develop beyond control. Of course, Motura himself ...I don't want my two children to be involved in this matter, and because of the pressure from us and Sony, he has already expressed on some occasion this morning that he is willing to give up." John Carley broke the news.

Persuaded?Hehe, as expected, the corners of Song Ya's mouth curled up slightly, "So..."

"There is a good solution at the moment."

John Carly said: "Motula will admit that he said that sentence, and of course he will also state that it was just a mistake made privately and after drinking. He will not try to expose a complete recording to hurt your wife again. All people of African descent apologize. At the same time, he will resign from the position of president of Sony Entertainment and take responsibility for this."

"what is this?"

Song Ya almost laughed angrily, "You originally planned to let him step down, how can you use a certain thing as punishment?"

"But the public doesn't know that losing such a prominent position can't show your victory?" John Carley said: "He publicly admitted that recording, so don't even think about becoming president of Sony Columbia Records in a short time. We will conduct an internal investigation on him. Mj’s people and epic records will also participate, and the conclusion will be reached until the middle of next year at the earliest."

"You are going to pretend to be dead first, and then let Motula quietly return to take office after the middle of next year?" Song Ya grasped the main point of the other party's words.

"Forget it, Ben insisted on him. Mr. Stringer was more inclined to choose him after evaluating him and Daniel. He had done a very good job in the record industry before. You can't think of letting Motura die socially. As long as he is alive, he will always exist in the recording industry. His past performance is not difficult to find a next home. The struggle between you two in the recording industry will last for a long time. As long as he can survive the internal investigation, we and mj will take this The matter is very serious."

John Carly said: "And when you have only half a year left for the release of your a+ record, what are you worried about? Even if you plan to renew the contract, you dare not accept the book. The rift between our two parties is so big that it is almost irreparable. Now, the old consultants at Sony’s headquarters think you are just a thorn and a trouble maker. No matter how much money can be made for Sony’s CEO, Mr. Nobuyuki Idei would rather pay a price to buy a clean one."

"The price? What price are they willing to pay for me to leave?"

Song Ya saw the opportunity to solve her heart knot, "Then I want to take back my personal song copyright from the Sony/atv copyright library, I am willing to spend money to buy it, and I want to cancel my new song and selected album next year Issuance contract."

"Okay, let me chat with Gao Shu privately. It may take some time." John Carley nodded.

"Ok."

For the second time, Motula deflated, Song Ya hit the ball high and far with one shot, eh?This is the fucking green!No way, he had to chase it alone.

"The new song plus the selected album can be cancelled. The copyright of your song is not sold. We are willing to sell it, but mj is not willing. I feel that if you insist on this matter, you will push mj to the side of Motura. Very, very paranoid, you know the aplus of his character, he is much more emotional."

It was a long time later that John Carley came to bargain, "Columbia Pictures will give you some rewards in the film industry in the future. I will also be the manager of your remaining year. I will guarantee your a+ records and Mariah Carey, as well as the company's internal The interests of those artists who have a good relationship with you."

"Next year's awards season..."

"Next year's awards season, yes." John Carly nodded without asking if it was an Oscar or a Grammy. "Motura is willing to bow his head to you, of course, privately."

"is it?"

"Yes, can you understand how difficult this is for a man?"
