Chapter 209: Drag
'Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ’
On the weekend, Song Ya carried a bag on her back, and as soon as she entered the gymnasium, she saw Cassetti there, she was swinging the racket alone, the white shuttlecock was flying up and down in the air, the sports skirt seemed to be deliberately shortened, and the beautiful hip line flashed from time to time with the movement.
"Hey, come practice on the weekends?" Song Ya greeted and walked into the squash court on the side.
Cassidy immediately dropped her racket and followed quickly, at the door, he slowed down slightly, and when he saw old Mike leaning against the door looking down at the newspaper, he ran into the door with a smile, "I knew you would be coming on the weekend." She took the initiative to put her arms around Song Ya's neck and stood on tiptoe.
She has just changed from a girl to a woman, she is very enthusiastic, and when she kisses her body, she sticks her body to Song Ya's body desperately, and when she notices that her big hand is caressing into her short skirt, she immediately lets out a moaning of ecstasy.
"I'm going to prepare for the game, what about you? Do you have to practice on weekends? Song Ya tilted his head back and looked at her meaningfully.
"I just want to be with you." She confessed emotionally.
"You're brave, Cassity." Song Ya put her down, opened the bag by herself, took out the racket, and threw one to her, "Accompany me to play squash?" ”
"Well, I don't know how to."
"I'll teach you."
The two laughed like long-time lovers while practicing, "So you're quitting the orchestra?" Song Ya asked.
"Yes, I ...... Well...... I'm afraid I'll get you in trouble, you know, those girls are terrible to observe. "And I don't want to suffer their cold words anymore." ”
"Actually, it doesn't matter, I'm used to it anyway."
"Uh, what are you going to tell Fergie about us?"
"Huh?" Song Ya stopped, "What's our business?" ”
"That's us...... You, me, the two of us? Cassidi pointed at Songya and then at herself.
"Cassidy, aren't you?"
Song Ya made the words clear and said, "I told you that the relationship between singers is only for the outside to see, isn't it good for us to maintain this relationship?" ”
"Keep it ......," Cassidy understood, biting her lip, "like those girls around rock stars?" ”
"yes, I like you Cassidy." Song Ya went to take her hand and was dodged.
"I thought ......"
"Come on, we're both eleventh graders, it's time to think like adults, when you came to me so actively, did you come here to be my girlfriend?"
"I ...... I'm ......" Cassidi shook her head, tears streaming down her face, and it just so happened that the other students were talking on the pitch outside, "I'm gone, and they'll gossip." ”
The girl covered her eyes with the back of her hand and rushed out of the squash court in despair.
Song Ya sighed, looking at the rained Cassidy in the parking lot at the time, but there was an apocalypse, just like the last time I got a clip of Xiao Lizi's future movie, this time it was a two-minute movie clip, the plot is about a middle-aged man driving a car accosting a white girl who was drenched in the rain on the side of the road, Song Ya did so, and he really succeeded, and he also fulfilled the oath he made last time when her father Vic Mackie took the stormtroopers to make trouble on A+ records.
"You're thinking too much, Cassidy."
Forget it, he's not the kind of person who struggles, picking up the ball and Cassetti's dropped racket, he follows the training plan given by the PE teacher, and concentrates on high-intensity practice.
Cassidi did quit the orchestra later, and the intersection between the two seemed to be gone, and Song Ya didn't have time to care, because the deadline for Sony's Columbia Records release i hate u i love u was getting closer.
At the beginning of November, Song Ya arrived in New York with the strongest squad he can currently have.
Sony Columbia Records Headquarters, "It's been a long time since I've been here." Song Ya and the others were arranged in a small conference room, and Motura naturally couldn't see them, and their opponent was only a lawyer who had never met.
"We are here to carry out the notification procedure, and if Mr. APLUS and Miss Filly's i hate u i love u is not officially issued by you after one business day, Goodman & Howard Law Offices will bring a lawsuit against you on behalf of Mr. APLUS and Miss Filly."
Goodman read into the manuscript.
“OK。” The lawyer said yes nonchalantly, got up and left, leaving everyone to dry in the conference room.
"Now Motura has three choices, don't issue i hate u i love u, we will file a lawsuit immediately, absolutely win, we have prepared the relevant evidence very well, of course, the court tug of war may drag on for a while."
Back in Tribeca's study war room, Samuel said: "Nominally issue i hate u i love u, but deal with it negatively, we have the distribution contract, and we will also gather the relevant evidence with Goodman and Hamlin to collect as much as possible, this kind of handle is easy to grasp, but it will take some time, and the lawsuit will be filed later." ”
"There is also a regular release of i hate u i love u according to the requirements of the contract, then you and Fergi will cooperate, it will be beneficial to you, I don't think Motura will choose this path."
Song Ya nodded after listening, "That's it, it's up to Motura to move tomorrow." ”
The next day, everyone waited in the war room until 24 o'clock and did not receive any reaction from Sony Columbia Records.
"This Motula, he really would rather lose five million knives than destroy me!" Song Ya was so angry that he slammed his fist on the wall, "I don't have a choice, let's go to war!" ”
In the morning, Goodman and others formally filed a lawsuit in a local court in New York, and after it was accepted, the Chicago Tribune simultaneously published a scoop.
Chicago Tribune, Zoe Barnes column, this morning, APLUS's attorneys filed a lawsuit against Sony Columbia Records, alleging that Sony Columbia Records did not release the single i hate u i love u as contractually required. According to insiders, APLUS has high hopes for this love song sung by A+ Records, a singer who signed with A+ Records and is also his girlfriend Ferge, and APLUS and Sony Columbia Records President Motura had a violent conflict over the release of this song, which is speculated to be the fuse that caused APLUS to be disheartened not long ago and issued a statement through his lawyer intending to quit the pop music industry...... This column will continue to follow the latest developments in this lawsuit. ’
The incident did not ferment in the media as quickly as expected, and Hayden received a lot of interview invitations, but there was a lack of powerful media, such as MTV and others who had conspired with Motura to make trouble, and Song Ya did not dare to accept their exclusive interview rashly.
HOWEVER, THE RESOLUTE ATTITUDE OF BOTH SIDES OF THE INCIDENT STRENGTHENED THE CONFIDENCE OF OTHER POTENTIAL BUYERS, AND THE OFFER POURED IN, AND BABYFACE CALLED AGAIN, AND HE RAISED THE OFFER TO FIVE YEARS, TWO PLUS ONE, CO-PRODUCED BY A+ RECORDS AND LAFACE RECORDS, AND RELEASED BY ALISTA RECORDS.
The same is true for leading Warner Records, which has lowered their original 49 percent stake in A+ Records to 30 percent.
“FXXK! First come, first served, I've said the umpteenth time that it's a bargain at all! ”
Song Ya couldn't lose his temper with them, so he could only explode at the negotiator of a small record company that was messing around, "Don't bother me again, you're out!" ”
Unlike during the visit, Sony Columbia Records sent a powerful team of lawyers to respond to the lawsuit, and in the first round of the confrontation, they succeeded in delaying the deadline for the oral and written investigation until November 23, and Goodman and Hamlin returned with a little ugly face.
"MJ's album Dangerous is officially released worldwide on November 24th! At the same time, the music video for his Black or White single will also be broadcast simultaneously around the world on that day and participate in the Billboard chart! Then it's a Thanksgiving holiday! We won't have any heat at all! ”
Song Ya finally got anxious, "Didn't your mathematical model say that my offer was a win-win for the next family?" Why haven't they acted? He asked Samur loudly, "Motura obviously wants to drag me to death, at this pace, it is estimated that it will be ninety-three years when the five million are really lost!" ”
"Calm down, child! This has nothing to do with the five million! ”
Samur also raised his voice, "Matching bids is only a matter of a second, now all the executives in the record industry are absolutely paying attention to your every move, they are enduring, you have to be able to hold back, don't give the outside world a willful and impulsive image of an African-American singer, in the darkness before the dawn, you have to show maturity beyond your years!" ”
"APLUS, MJ's agent Sandy Glenn." Taragi pressed on the phone microphone and walked in.
"Hello, Mr. Glenn." Song Ya took a few deep breaths and took the phone.
"I'm keeping an eye on you APLUS, and the court session is undecided, right?"
"Yes, the investigation deadline is November 23, and the first trial is estimated to be in December, and according to my lawyer, Motura will still play tricks at that time, appeal to cancel the trial in absentia, challenge jurisdiction or something, and it will take months to drag it out."
"Motura doesn't have the energy to deal with you right now, so he's going to procrastinate, all his attention is on MJ's new album right now, and so is MJ and I, when we're done with this while, maybe we'll have Epic Records match your offer, and MJ will go and talk to Motura personally." Sandy Glenn said.
"This news is so good, when do you think you will be busy?" Song Ya is overjoyed, so at least there are people who have the bottom line, "But I want to explain, if there are other record companies that match the offer before Epic Records......"
"I understand, I'm just informing you first, and that's what MJ himself meant." Sandy Glenn hung up.
