The industry generally knew about Motura's relationship with Mariah Carey at the time, and after being betrayed at the height of his power and ousting Sony Columbia Records, he was immediately confronted with a very unbearable rumor for men, that women betrayed him precisely because he was not 'strong' enough.

This kind of conjecture is malicious and 'normal', but the psychological trauma caused to a man may be greater than the failure of a career.

So Motula, who didn't think so much at the time, hurriedly found a new love, and regained his dignity by 'breaking the news' through his new love's big mouth, and later may have reacted that this lace is not good for his personal image, and basically eliminated the traces through strong public relations.

But in these years, it is easy to leave evidence for anything to say, Song Ya has left the bottom early, and now it has exploded two years later, just right.

He also deliberately let the tabloids add fuel and vinegar to the mouth of the third-rate actress to expose Motula's evaluation of Mariah Carey, of course, not through his own Louise report, California tabloids often 'help each other', and the network of trusted relationships has been established in the past two years.

"It's disgusting!"

Mariah Carey, who was quickly smashed back to the bottom by reality from self-absorption, was rummaging through the morning newspaper's evaluation of Xingmeng's tears, but she didn't expect to eat this fly, she threw the newspaper on the ground in a frustrated manner, "I have to be disgusting at this time!" ”

"Don't get too excited, it's not good for the fetus."

The old god Song Ya was putting down the coffee, humming, in the past two years, Motura has hurt himself so much that he doesn't even dare to try leveraged investment, and he is forced to be so cautious, how can he not count every loophole? And that includes her......

I know her myself, this kind of news broke out, and now she will definitely not fall to Motura again.

"Busy with your tour!"

She pushed Song Yaqiao's feet away on the coffee table, "I'm angry when I see you so leisurely!" She ordered the female assistant, "In the afternoon, I will participate in the promotion of the chart with Boyz II man, and I will run one more screening in the evening, and Boyz II man will also agree to go!" ”

"Pay attention to the ......combination of work and rest," Song Ya shouted to her busy back.

Motula's patience during this time made him see his weakness, and according to the collective analysis of his men, he was now facing an embarrassing situation. On the one hand, the accusations of discrimination are very serious, and neither Sony Entertainment, which sells records and movie tickets, nor Sony Electronics, which sells mass electronic products, can really ignore it.

Sony should now regret a little, they are hesitating.

On the other hand, Motura can't fully rely on the power of former CBS president Howard Stringer, who has not yet officially joined the president of North Missoni, and he can't afford to get too involved in this muddy water, as a top professional manager, I heard that Sony promised to 'clean up' the house before he joined the company, just like after driving out Columbia Pictures' Gubel, Sony immediately wrote off 2.7 billion dollars of bad debts, otherwise it would be difficult for a reliable new manager to be the family again.

At this juncture, I made a fuss, is the house clean now? No, so why bother with Stringer?

And in front of MJ, he is MJ's manager, and now he is not afraid that MJ will be forced to replace him under the pressure of boiling public opinion? Although this is unlikely, because MJ has known about the existence of that recording for a long time, it always takes energy to appease MJ, right?

Last night, Barry Siegel, the manager of Elvis Presley's trust company, still had his words in his ears, but after he fired the first shot, there still seemed to be no counterattack in the media.

He fell into the long exam.

"On schedule?" It wasn't until noon that Linda came over to help pack up her things and asked, "I'm going to rehearsal in the afternoon, why don't you slow down and focus on tomorrow's concert?" ”

"I still decided to go as planned, the recording was delayed for two years, and the effectiveness was greatly reduced, and now the other party obviously wants to delay again, so I won't delay." Song Ya made a decision that he wanted to learn from Underwood's methods against himself back then, and put on a triple threat pose.

In New York, an old friend of Dinkins, the city police commissioner took out a document in his office and ordered: "Wasn't that recent audio recording in the case of Mariah Carey's wiretapping?" I remember that the city government sent a special prosecutor, why did the case end inexplicably?"

"I guess no new evidence has been found." The subordinate replied.

"Bring the file out, I'll take a look at it."

"This ...... Not okay? The special prosecutor at the time was the mayor's ......"

"Go tune it up."

"Okay."

At the same time, Scott, president of A+ Apparel, personally supervised the shipment of a batch of T-shirts to the warehouse closest to Manhattan. After Scott left, a white man appeared sneakily, exchanged the money for a white shirt in the treasury manager's hand, and opened it to see that the four letters of SONY on the chest were marked with a large red cross.

Local black activists began to be organized by Manhattan Gang political forces, and rumors of a big operation began to spread.

Former New York City Mayor Dinkins implicitly criticized BET's performance at both ends of the discriminatory incident on a talk show on the Washington branch of the Inner City Broadcasting Corporation.

Then BET couldn't bear the pressure of his own people, and Johnson ordered that the feature story that had been prepared should be brought to the evening press preparation meeting for discussion, and at the same time, he also greeted the people who had asked to suppress the news in advance.

"And Jesse Jackson, the leader of black equality, took the opportunity to blackmail us through an intermediary, what should we do?"

Sony Building, one by one news was summarized, after listening to the report, Hirai immediately called the CEO who had returned to the headquarters to report to the well, and after receiving the reply, he rushed to Howard Stringer's house for a while.

"APLUS, OUR ACTIONS HAVE FINALLY WORKED, MR. STRINGER TOOK THE INITIATIVE TO ASK ME TO COME AND MEET!"

Stringer was finally willing to meet Daniel before taking office, and he excitedly called Song Ya, "I'll talk to him later!" ”

"Okay, Daniel, don't forget what I've done for you." Song Ya smiled and hung up the phone.

However, Stringer not only invited Daniel, but also found Motura at the same time, and did not let the two meet directly, front and back.

"Daniel, please be seated."

The former CBS president, a journalist-turned-media veteran who has won nine Emmy Awards alone, leaned on his glasses and said as he watched Daniel: "You know, I haven't gotten into the role yet, we're just talking this time, I don't know much about the record industry, I can't do much." ”

"You're too modest, Mr. Stringer." Daniel complimented: "You are an icon in the media industry, and you are my own. ”

"What do you think about the future of the record industry? I'll start with a little bit of what I know, it's hard for the publishing company right now, right? On the one hand, the record sales data continues to decline, and on the other hand, the signing fees and marketing costs of artists are getting higher and higher......"

"That's right."

Daniel naturally felt that the other party was deliberately competing, knowing that this was his last chance, he replied after calming down: "The salary allocation of artists needs to be continuously adjusted reasonably, and we and the other five major record companies are planning to join forces to lower the salary, especially the signing fee, so that they will no longer be so easy to use the competition between us to blackmail, and the news of the huge signing fee of the head singer will not appear again year after year." Of course, I won't be so rude, just like Hollywood has begun to hype up the 20 million club in recent years, we will fix the signing price range of the top singers, but promote it as a good thing, a kind of honor. ”

"As for the sales revenue, in fact, there is only one root cause, which is the increasingly rampant piracy, including the emerging piracy model on the Internet. I've also led a coalition led by Mr. Bronfman Jr., who is arching Universal Music, to force the government to enact a draconian copyright bill, which is just beginning, and I believe that if I am given some time, this will be fundamentally reversed. ”

"Good, good." Stringer was intrigued, and nodded his head in approval.

"Tommy, what do you think about the future of the record industry?"

After Daniel left the house in a huff, he asked Motura the same question.

"Grasp the trend of music, always ahead of people, as long as our profitability is in the top six positions, then all the trouble of declining income and rising salaries of artists is someone else's. It's like a counter-cyclical investment in the industry, winning or losing has nothing to do with how much money I can make, for example, I made a dollar last year, and I made ten dollars this year, as a manager, I made the company's profit tenfold, but the competitor made a hundred this year, then my company will continue to lag behind. And if I lose ten dollars this year and others lose a hundred, then I win too! You might even be able to take the opportunity to make an acquisition. Motura replied.

"It's good, it's good, but how do you keep track of it? Can you grasp it? Stringer asked.

"Of course I can." Motura replied.

"New rhythm blues? Or is it a rock 'n' roll revival? I'm an old-school guy who likes rock 'n' roll, not hip-hop. Stringer laughed.

"Neither."

Motura was categorical, "It's the Latin Storm!" ”
