Chicago 1990

The hostess's exclamation was aimed at the guests who had disappeared. She had to suppress the unpleasantness, and she helped to bring up the shoulder strap and scratch the camera to make trouble.

The two of them didn't pay attention to the superstar who had fainted with their heads on the back of the sofa.

But the program director noticed, he ordered the camera to zoom in and start close-ups of the face.

Due to the angle of the camera, Song Ya's nostrils are located right in the center of the picture, her eyes are closed tightly, and her face is as peaceful as she is taking a nap.

"Hey! Why do you react like this APLUS..."

The female guest thought that Song Ya was making a fool of herself, and she pushed his shoulder down with a whiff in Spanish.

Song Ya shook his head and tilted to one side.

"Not everyone likes watching your big pair..."

The host took the opportunity to ridicule, and found that something was wrong in the middle of the sentence, "APLUS? APLUS?" She also came over and pushed a few, then looked at the staff in the studio in panic and helplessness.

The camera shook violently a few times, and a male staff member rushed into the screen.

Then the local TV station cut the broadcast screen to the hostess, "Uh, there seems to be some accident, we are dealing with it..." the host said according to the director's instructions.

'The singer APLUS suddenly fainted during a talk show in Mexico the day before yesterday. His spokesperson told our reporter that it was only because of the drug reaction to treat finger injuries. APLUS is in good health and has now fully recovered.'

'The spokesperson's remarks were subsequently confirmed that the APLUS Mexico tour last night was still on time. He contributed a wonderful performance to the local fans. It seems that he has recovered from the drug reaction and his state has not been affected.'

CUU’s news is here with a short segment of Song Ya running around the concert and singing passionately.

"I'm fine, I'm fine..."

Afterwards, the CUU reporter was allowed a brief interview after the concert. Song Ya smiled and showed her bandaged middle finger to the camera, "It was accidentally injured during the performance. It may be a bit infected, so I ate some before recording the show. Anti-inflammatory and painkillers. So... the doctor said that I might react more to some medicines than normal people due to physical reasons. I was sleepy or something... Anyway, it was all right. They changed the treatment plan for me. Thank you everyone. concern……"

"Do you have another concert in Mexico?"

"Yes, next weekend."

"It will still be held as scheduled?"

"of course!"

The CUU reporter didn’t ask much in front of him. In the next scene, he used the touring venue, Mexico City’s Aztec Stadium as the background, and said painfully to the camera: “In recent years, some African-American singers with very good personal images, such as MJ and Whitt Ni Houston, including APLUS of course, are more or less involved in drug abuse rumors...'

'APLUS fainted more than once in public only, maybe we still remember the scene when he fell down the stairs...'

When the scene was given to Songya Tianqi football stunner, the reporter who was interviewed by Harvey Weinstein accidentally shot the camera rolling down the high steps, with Harvey as the background board.

"Other rumors about his medical treatment..." The reporter continued to give examples.

"Hahaha!"

New York, the headquarters of Epic Records, a subsidiary of Sony Columbia Records. As the manager of MJ, the company’s most important contracted singer, Motura had his own office here even in the most desolate period. He laughed and turned off the TV. , Smug, "Mr. Stringer just agreed to our plan. John Carly left at the end of the year, in the name of his body and energy not enough to support the film and record companies that manage both the east and west coasts."

"Will John Carley whistleblowing?" Anthony Pelicano asked Hollywood Eye.

"He is an old-school man."

Motula replied: "He is very upset, but he won't break the rules. Now who is stupid enough to bet on that sick bug?"

"OK." Anthony Pellicano smiled and stood up, "this time..."

"Go all out, Anthony, that's the same thing. We don't get rid of him first, and other politicians and the media will not really act. But on the other hand, that crazy kid offended countless people for his money. I believe that many will follow him. Now is the best opportunity. This year, because of the tight capital chain, he has not only kept selling Netscape stocks, but also even slapped David Bowie’s friends with pop-up circles. Interest borrowing..."

Motula said: "I know these Nger stars too well, what they brag about are what investments and how to make money. When they go bankrupt, everyone learns that they have lost their panties!"

He instructed: "You know who to call and how to contact. Anthony, we have been planning for it for a long time, every day, every night...I want the perfect revenge."

"I believe you will taste the joy of victory soon."

Anthony Pellicano walked to the door: "You will be very, very busy this time."

"My body is a hundred times better than that worm, haha!"

After Motula finished speaking, both of them laughed, "You too. I have to let the management and Mr. Stringer know who is the real king of the record industry during this time."

"I have no doubt about this."

Anthony Pellicano pushed the door out.

"Welcome, welcome everyone..."

Later, he filed into several senior Sony Columbia Records and Epic Records. The so-called "his people" did not go well in the Daniel era, but the John Carley era has been gradually restored to power.

"Tommy, Tommy Motula, congratulations." These veterans complimented, "Don't you have a celebration party?"

"Wait for next year. Pour our own wine, we are busy."

Motula began to take over John Carly's work ahead of time. In fact, he secretly participated in many decisions this year, such as Epic Records joining the fight for the Boyz II man combination. "What did Boyz II man say?" he asked.

"Uh, they want to learn from APLUS and set up their own record company. This point has gradually been agreed within the group, and the company address must be in their hometown of Philadelphia."

The Epic Records executive in charge of this matter replied: "At the same time, the four of them do not want to give up the long-term relationship with the gold medal producer Babyface, so they will give some shares to LAFACE Records. We... only the release contract, we have to bid with other big companies. ."

"No matter what the price is, take them down!"

Motura showed his consistent vigor and decisiveness.

"Uh, according to the survey, their contemporary rhythm and blues is becoming less and less popular with fans. Now some white groups of teenage pop music have become popular in Europe, as well as the APLUS type of fusion hip-hop." The executive said hesitantly.

"We need the top men's group and the darling of the award season. This is the cornerstone and heritage of big companies, just like Barbra Streisand to Sony Columbia Records."

Motula waved his hand dissatisfied, "Just give us a good start next year, it will be big news in the industry." He took out Balotelli's personal information from the drawer, "Sony Columbia Records immediately signed the newcomer. , Based on the people of APLUS, comprehensively focused on packaging and building, and more "bandit", I want him to cast a shocking bomb in the urban African circle next year for his first major!"

"Bgod...looks good."

The executive looked at Balotelli's photo, "You need a Buff opponent to play gangster rap. Now the east and west coasts..."

"If you don't take the West Coast to play, the West Coast hip-hop will be over after the death row record fails."

Motula made his own judgment, "Just pick the singer of the company. NAS is a good candidate. Balotelli is from Brooklyn, NAS is from Queens, and the New York Civil War. It's good for both of them. We just sell records. ."

Newman, the administrator of NAS, was not present. The executives all laughed. They knew that Motura had begun to retaliate against Daniel's "legacy", an old friend of APLUS, and they were very happy to see it.

"This Bgod... can battle get NAS?" someone asked worriedly.

"If he can't confront NAS head-on, it's no longer worth our resources. It's a simple matter."

Motula replied: "Of course you have to lean towards him in terms of resources."

"Understood." In the company, there are veteran hands.

"Mariah Carey..." someone mentioned.

"She doesn't care."

Motula didn’t want to hear the name of that woman. He still had half of the other’s manager’s rights, and as the money printing machine of Sony Columbia Records, the people’s favorite American female singer, whether it was Sony Howard Stringer or John. Kali is not allowed to move her for the time being, and his grudges will be reported sooner or later. When he thinks of the past betrayed by that woman, he will go crazy like smashing things, cursing, swearing... but for now he has to talk about strategy.

"Where is Shakira?" someone asked again, "She is now a guest singer at the APLUS concert. They must have been in bed..."

"It's the same. I will talk to Estefan. We currently need the support of the Latino Gang. Oh, yes, not only her, but also these Latino singers, all are signed. We at Sony Columbia Records are going to make a Latina Storm, this is my core strategy for the next few years. All resources must be tilted!"

He took out several singer resumes from the drawer, "Enrique, Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin, Tanya..." Whether it is red or not, they are all Latino.

"Wow, the stakes are high."

"Yes, bet it all, I believe in my own eyes, what about you?" Motura looked at him with firm eyes.

"of course."

"Your judgment has never been wrong."

"We trust you, Tommy."

The executives showed their loyalty.

"Well, what good seed do you have in your hands? Decide together today." Motula was very satisfied. He half-lied on the boss chair and began to share the benefits.

The power is back. This sign, that doesn’t sign, he doesn’t support that. He has roughly read and heard the singer resumes and singing demos submitted by executives. He made his judgments swiftly. The better.

"This is a newcomer to Alista Records. He didn't get a contract extension after three years. He was admitted to Columbia University before he was sixteen. He was also from Brooklyn. He has a very good singing ability and has a creative writing. Ability. I think it can be created as a talented female creative newcomer and can be signed at a very cheap price."

An executive handed in a resume.

"Alicia Keys?" Motura saw the little girl in the photo, "She looks good, listen."

"Okay." The executive started playing the girl's singing Demo.

"How can anyone listen to such old-school rhythm and blues plus soul music!"

After hearing two sentences, Motula curled his lips with dissatisfaction and threw his resume in the trash can, "Next!"
