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

"The boss is waiting for you." The bodyguards who were here took him into the elevator.

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

"When we arrived at the airport, we were told by the crew that they were going to go on strike to protest the recent frequency of flying missions." The bodyguard replied.

"Hehe, no one flies our big stars."

Hayden smiled and spit a little, walked to the door of the hotel's penthouse suite, nodded hello to Mawota, and then walked in with a straight face.

"If your songs are placed in a separate library owned by Sony Music Rights, or in a new company that they have merged with ATV, there is no real loss for you, it's just that the management of the track has been transferred to a different entity."

The light in the suite was a little dim, and Song Ya was leaning on the sofa and listening to Newman intently, "There are benefits in terms of economic interests, the larger the copyright library, the higher the licensing income, because ......"

"I know these Newmans."

Song Ya took a sip of whiskey impatiently, "I thought that you would come here to help me find a way to remedy it, instead of persuading me the other way around, you should understand how much this matter hurts the alliance of me, you, Daniel and others." You're Mimi's manager, and you should try to keep him going. ”

"I didn't try to persuade it, I didn't even know it beforehand, but it's already happened, and we should look forward."

Newman was also helpless, "We can't turn back, Mimi has expressed his attitude to Sony, and now even if she is persuaded to change her mind, Sony will no longer believe the words we and Daniel jointly made, our Maginot Line has been breached, and the so-called remedy is probably to retreat as decently as possible." APLUS, don't let the battle of wills make the situation worse. ”

"Decent? That's me, all the artists under my A+ Records, half of the rights and track management rights to all the songs released by Fergie, Common, and others through Sony Columbia Records, as well as your Mimi and NAS, and Shakira's little singers who follow us. ”

Song Ya raised her voice, "In the future, we will have to pay MJ to sing our own songs, just like what happened to Paul McCartney." ”

"That's just idle gossip, MJ's ATV and Sony Music Rights' merger is just a very ordinary capital operation, didn't you see it very openly before? I remember you made a joke that if you bought one share of each of the big distributors, wouldn't that mean that all the singers would have to pay you for singing their own songs? ”

Newman smiled and persuaded, "Wouldn't it be nice to keep that mentality?" Learn from Paul McCottney, he is now completely acceptable, and every time he is asked a relevant question, he will in turn help clarify that he and MJ have never had a grudge, and even have the mood to make up a few jokes to laugh at himself. ”

"It's different, you know it's not Newman." Song Ya shook his head, his gaze became a little deep, "Why can't the person who made up the joke and laugh at himself be MJ?" ”

"Hah!"

Newman shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Anyway, don't be impulsive APLUS, you shook Mimi's hand in front of the paparazzi and got in the car and left alone, and now the entertainment news is talking about it, can we deal with the trouble in front of us first?" Show affection with Mimi in public tomorrow, and then tell the media that last night was just a little conflict between husband and wife, and everything is over, which is good for both of you. ”

Hayden heard this and walked over to the TV.

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

Hayden put his hand down in embarrassment and smiled.

"What have you been up to lately?" Song Ya asked.

"Well, I flew to the Bahamas, didn't you tell me to renovate the house on the island?" Hayden rubbed his hands together and explained honestly: "It's a big project, it costs a lot of money, and in order to get the construction materials on the island, the dock must be renovated first, and the workers have to ......."

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

"Boss, Ms. Sloane has arrived." Linda pushed the door in.

"I still have to go and persuade Mimi, you should be busy first, don't be impulsive APLUS." Newman hurriedly said goodbye.

"You shouldn't call Gordon and ask him to figure out how to blow some MJ stuff on A+CN."

After firing Eli herself, in addition to political affairs, all public relations affairs are also Ms. Sloane's, this elite woman who always maintains a delicate appearance puts down her coat and bag and immediately enters the work state, "He is a senior African-American media person, working for you for the time being, he may not be loyal to you in this life." That's MJ, he's not going to help an African-American Light backstab another African-American Light, and if you say that to him, you run the risk that he'll break the news or put it in some kind of memoir or something, even if it's ten or twenty years later, it could cause serious damage to your personal image. The African-American community naturally thinks that you and MJ should be united, white ...... Hehe, just look at the jokes. ”

"Solidarity? His lawyer just said something to me, the child king! His means of being the king of children was to make my wife make a very stupid decision? He hurt me, and the feelings between me and Mimi. ”

Song Ya waved his hand irritably, "I'm not the kind of person who will act as if nothing happened if someone is tricked, Gordon told me that MJ is facing a crisis right now, and he and his insurance company ......"

During the negotiation between MJ's ATV and Sony Music Rights, the reporter asked MJ why he insisted that Sony must pay him a huge sum of hundreds of millions to balance the deal, whether it was because of the settlement compensation in the '93 case that caused his cash flow to be tight, and his response was that the settlement was not large, and his insurance company was willing to help pay it.

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, and the stock price of that insurance company plummeted, and the company's executives rushed to clarify that it was impossible to pay this money for MJ.

This matter has now evolved into the same Rashomon as the 93 case, the insurance company said that it did not pay, and MJ knew that he had lost his words and did not make any response, but the outside world speculated that the insurance company was actually willing to pay, because MJ continued to fight the lawsuit and stop work, they would lose more, so a tabloid broke the news that the two sides reached a secret deal at that time, and the insurance company helped pay part of the settlement money in violation of regulations, and MJ agreed to end the civil lawsuit as soon as possible.

This matter is not much of a stir under the heat of the upcoming verdict in the Simpson case in October, but if he can really get the prosecutor to intervene through the media, it will definitely be enough to take revenge.

"So Gordon is willing to do it?" Ms. Sloan asked.

"He doesn't want to." Song Ya sighed, "You're right, he doesn't want to help me deal with another African Light, I shouldn't have opened this mouth to him." ”

"Even if he wants to, you can't operate through his media, that's stupid."

"It's true that you're the boss of a lot of media, but it's a real person who does things for you, and you can't just click a mouse in a game, and the more people you give to deal with MJ, the more knives you give, and one day they may turn around and stab you in the back," Ms. Sloan said. I understand you're angry right now, but the more times like this happen, the more you need to keep a cool head. ”

"Two top African-American superstars can't get this far, boss." Linda also advised, "Business is business, MJ has pressed you in business, if you viciously retaliate against him, this is a bit of a breakthrough in the bottom line, others are not bad, right?" You also said before that his case in '93 was absolutely innocent and that he should not be treated like this by us. ”

Song Ya turned her face to look out the window and did not answer.

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

Louise's report, the American music magazine, and the website are basically white, but first, the outside world knows that it is their own industry, and second, the tabloids and new media have very little influence on the public service, far less credible than the big radio stations of the inner city broadcasters and the A+CN that will be broadcast, and if they can't achieve their goals, they will cause a lot of commotion.

If you want to fight back against MJ, you must not go through them, even if the reputation has been hit hard, even if there are countless malicious rumors about him among the low-level blacks, MJ's basic plate is still very stable, and he is very strong. Unless he joins forces with the gang that dealt with him at the time, although it is not clear whether there is a behind-the-scenes organization himself, Oprah should be involved......

But I also hate that woman......

Forget it, Ms. Sloan is right, the handle of the knife can't be handed to that kind of person, even if she got some conclusive evidence of her fraudulent donation after injecting money into the inner city broadcasting company, Song Ya shook her head and drove the idea out.

"Is there no possibility of salvage from the copyright merger between Sony and ATV?" Ms. Sloan asked.

Song Ya didn't say anything with a gloomy face, and Linda nodded to her, "We were on the phone with Sony's Mr. Hirai just now, and he told us that we have reached an agreement with MJ, and Sony's decision will not change again." With the copyright of the boss, Mimi, Ferge, NAS and others joining, MJ made a major concession in balancing the amount of the transaction, and Sony dragged it with him because of this money, and the book company is having a hard time. ”

"In addition to the fact that we are all happy to see this deal come to fruition, the committee behind MJ's wife, Elvis Presley's daughter Lisa Pressley, has been looking forward to it for a long time, as well as many popular stars and old singers whose tracks are in the rights pools of both parties."

Hayden also joined in, "These people can understand that we have been delaying the transaction for a while by keeping the copyright out of the deal, but now, if we want to make the deal yellow, then MJ is not the only one who is offended." ”

Song Yafu took a deep breath, his wife's hand was too big, too ruthless and too sudden, "Put this matter aside, who gave Mimi this idea?" That person I have to find! Sandy Glenn? ”

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

"Maybe he's just looking forward to the boss fighting with MJ?" Hayden said.

"No way, Miss Kelly is APLUS's wife, maybe the two will turn around and reconcile, so can Sandy Glenn continue to be Miss Kelly's agent?" Sloan said.

"Then let's rule it out one by one, Mimi is not usually stupid, she will not listen to the slander of those who are not well-connected." Song Ya thought for a moment, "Brenda? ”

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

"Why don't you pretend to reconcile first, boss, and get the truth out from Mimi?" Several people found out the people close to Mariah Kelly and eliminated them one by one, but they all felt that it was not, and Hayden came up with an idea.

"And then? Turn your face and start revenge and divorce? Linda glared at him, "That's scummy." ”

Song Ya was in a bad mood, the atmosphere in the room was solemn, and Daniel called when it was almost dawn.

"SORRY APLUS, I WAS OUT OF SHAPE YESTERDAY."

Daniel said in a lonely tone: "I talked to Mr. Schulhoff, president of Sony North Rice overnight, the merger is like this, we can't do anything, the headquarters has already decided, I believe they will sign a contract with MJ soon." ”

"I see."

Song Ya chatted with him for a long time, basically some nonsense to warm each other, Daniel did not shy away from saying that Sony's crisis of trust in him was deeper, but he felt that it could be maintained at present, and in turn persuaded Song Ya and Mariah Carey to show their affection publicly, business is business, at least they can't bring negative news to the table during the sale of their new specialty.

"Boss, the captain woke up, and he agreed to go back to flight." Linda reports.

"Are you going back to Chicago?" Ms. Sloan was a little surprised, "I won't ...... with your wife today."

"Let's calm down for the time being." Song Ya got up, "Linda, pack your things." ”

Shortly after his motorcade left the hotel toward the airport, an extended Lincoln pulled up outside the hotel.

Mariah Carey pouted in the car and refused to get out of the car, and Newman beside her kept persuading: "Miss Carey, bow your head and admit your mistake, APLUS was just angry last night, he will forgive you." ”

"I don't need his forgiveness, he ...... He's a heartyman, a bastard, and treats me badly...... The TV was playing over and over again that he shook my hand away, and I was so ashamed to die! ”

She scolded as she straightened her hair, "And now you want me to apologize to him!?" ”

"You can do it."

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

"At this time, you think of yourself!?" Mariah Carey glared at her.

"Haha......" Brenda pouted and shook her head, "yes, I'm thinking about myself, and I don't know who portrayed the character based on me in the movie as a vicious Bichi who suppresses newcomers!" I haven't asked you to settle this account yet! I didn't treat you badly when you weren't popular before, but when Xingmeng Tears was released, I became a bad person? ”

"Uh...... That's the movie, it's the art, you need to take into account the plot ......"

Mariah Carey retorted weakly, "It's the director and screenwriter who want to do that, don't blame me." It's a big deal to bring you with you when the movie is released, and I'll clarify it for you personally, it's still Patty who plays my mom in the movie, and my mom didn't complain about writing her as a black ......."

"Really? Oh, I see. ”

Sandy Glenn put down the phone at this time, "Don't argue with the two ladies, APLUS has already left for the airport, and he seems to be planning to go back to Chicago this morning." ”

I could use a dream or a genie or a wish

To go back to a place much simpler than this

Cause after all the partyin and smashin and crashin

And all the glitz and the glam and the fashion

And all the pandemonium and all the madness

There comes a time where you fade to the blackness

And when you're staring at that phone in your lap

And you hoping but them people never call you back

"That little bastard!"

Mariah Carey immediately cried, "Never coaxed me more......"

"So ...... we," the driver asked, looking back.

"What are you doing in a daze, drive, let's go to the airport!" Mariah Carey slapped her hands heavily on the wide seat.

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

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

But that's just how the story unfolds

You get another hand soon after you fold

And when your plans unravel

And they sayin what would you wish for

If you had one chance

So airplane airplane sorry I'm late

I'm on my way so don't close that gate

If I don't make that then I'll switch my flight

And I'll be right back at it by the end of the night
