Chapter 829: Fly Away
'That's it?' There is no context before and after, and it is not said that it is a recording of when, inexplicable! β
The fact that there are many people with similar voices does not prove who said this, does it? β
'Please pay attention! The California-based website belongs to A+ Audio, and it wasn't difficult for them to use technology to tune the sound to another person. β
'A+ Audio? Is it APLUS's business? That makes sense, he seems to have a bad relationship with Mr. Motura. β
The recording was played in the early hours of the morning, and at first it was a discussion between anonymous whistleblowers and melon-eating people, but in the morning, a large number of posts and posts began to appear on the side of Motura, "Two or three of them are still familiar faces of the forum, and they should have been raised for a while." DeLay came over and said, "I just received some gossip inquiries, and I should be able to see it in the print media at the evening newspaper time today." β
"Is it only tabloids?" Song Ya asked.
"It's only tabloids, of course I can't grasp it all, and that recording was taken out by the whistleblower, and it has nothing to do with our website, isn't it?" DeLay laughed and snapped his fingers.
"Hmm."
Song Ya nodded, which shows that Motura has secretly studied herself and her own media influence, and has prepared in advance on the American website, so the rapid fermentation of this matter in other large media is not optimistic. Motura had a strong media control when he was president of Sony Columbia Records, and it seems that there has been a big decline in the presidency of Sony Entertainment, but no one knows how much energy he still retains.
"What did Daniel say? Can it really help him? Delay asked.
"It's difficult, Daniel will cooperate with me, but the position of president is not child's play, and Sony's big change will not be affected by these small things." Song Ya replied.
"It's not a trivial matter, is it?" Delay said: "Blatantly discriminatory against ......"
"It's hard to say." If it broke out when he first got the recording, then no matter whether he could achieve the goal of driving Motura away at that time, this matter would definitely make a big fuss, but ......
After such a long time, Motura knew about the existence of this recording, and his kind of strongman must have made a lot of arrangements to eliminate the impact of discriminatory remarks on the day when he tore his face again.
"Anyway, feel free to contact, I'll go first, bye, Linda, Mike." DeLay patted him on the arm, said hello to the other two people in the car, and pushed the door to get out of the car.
Song Yamu sent him into the airport. After each concert, DeLay has to go back to Silicon Valley to deal with official business, until the day before the rehearsal and then come back to gather, his task is not heavy, he appears in the two songs "Remember The Name" and "Where Is The Love", and William Adams and other helpers help him paddle during the singing.
Old Michael drove the car back to Tribeca's house, "Go get some sleep, kid, you're going to catch a flight to Los Angeles in the afternoon." β
"Well, Linda has an important change to notify me immediately."
The record career has reached a major juncture again, Song Ya slept very lightly, and woke up again at ten o'clock, "How is it?" He immediately called Linda into the bedroom and dealt with Motula, and the black community was able to take advantage of it again, which was good for him.
"Daniel is leaving, the news of Motula's return to Sony Columbia Records has spread, and just now EstΓ©phine and Gloria have called to ask, as well as Roberto Clevard, NAS and others." Linda reports.
It should be Motura on purpose, as long as the news of the replacement does not spread, then Sony still has a chance to turn back, and the last thing I want to see this scene is Motula. This guy has grasped the point, and whether Sony is willing to support it is the key.
"You should wake me up."
Song Ya yawned, a quick and decisive counterattack is certainly cool, but it is impossible to win easily with a master, the opponent is not a fool, and neither are the bystanders, and Motura's return represents his loss of power, so in addition to himself and Mariah Carey, there will be a large number of stakeholders affected, such as Newman and NAS, EstΓ©phine and Shakira, and other singers under A+ Records.
The winner in the end has to be himself, even if he can't win big, well.
"They should still be in a wait-and-see mode, not so urgent." Linda also wants her boss to sleep more.
didn't go to wash, Song Ya directly turned on the computer and logged in to the Amerika Music website, the posts on the homepage of the gossip section that openly and secretly helped Motura can even vaguely gain the upper hand, a recording without a beginning or end is indeed easy to be refuted, and the opponent is more organized.
It seems that Delai has to raise more 'passers-by' on his website, after all, it is inconvenient for the website to end up in person.
"Don't wait for the evening newspaper......"
The first punch last night seemed to have been defused, Song Ya weighed it while swiping through the post, feeling that it was not good to drag it out any longer, and the social influence of the Internet was still a little small in these years, "You let Pierre do it, and go over there to supervise them personally." β
"Okay."
"This station has obtained some new evidence, about a certain entertainment industry bigwig, here I want to ask Sony a question: Do you really want to sit idly by and watch the discriminatory remarks of its executives? This is not the first time. β
The inner city broadcaster, Radio New York, was in charge of launching a second round of attacks, and Pierre Sutton, who was mediocre in his management skills, was very active in this kind of thing, and Song Ya sent Linda to supervise it afterwards, which felt a bit redundant.
After getting more evidence of the recording, he immediately arranged a midday radio program to discuss the matter, and released the recording in sections, in which Motura mentioned the record business several times, and it was not heard that he was the owner of Sony Columbia Records, and the serious news radio station was more credible than the website revelations, and the target audience was mainly black.
The local radio station in Manhattan, the highly credible black media, the executive of the America cultural industry branch of the book multinational company, and one of the bigwigs in the entertainment industry are really discriminatory, which instantly spread the whole thing on the all-rice media.
The record industry is already one of the most influential industries for us African-Americans, but it still can't stop the continuous, arrogant discrimination, and I can give a whole bunch of examples, which is unacceptable, completely unacceptable! β
I've dealt with this Mr. Motura, a lot of them, you know, Sony Music used to be Columbia Records, it's headquartered here, in Manhattan, and I didn't expect them to turn around and show their true colors, and it made me feel like I'm back in the fifties. They haven't changed at all! β
'A book company still reuses and discriminates against our executives in the United States, which shows that they are all the same as white people, and I heard that Motura is even the manager of MJ! Is MJ also deceived by this kind of person? It's time for him to listen to this recording, the inner ghost is around! β
The radio guests, played by Manhattan's African-American cultural celebrities, were filled with indignation, and there was no need to do much to incite, any protest threats, shouting over the air for serious treatment, ripping off old accounts, scolding all the way from white people to cars and electronics in notebooks.
"That's right."
At two o'clock in the afternoon, when I heard that other Manhattan radio stations also started talking about it, and then the public opinion of the website began to supplement the recording passages with Delay arriving at his job in Silicon Valley, and chose a helper to start fighting back against the accusations of the Motura side, Song Ya was in a much better mood, he put his hands behind his head and lay on the sofa, "Is it true that my media bought it for nothing?" β
"Some reporters began to come to Sony to confirm, the following is a very important moment, to see if he and Sony will be compliant, many of the reporters are from authoritative media." Linda came over and reported: "Charlise called, she is back in South Africa today. β
"Oh? So fast? Song Ya took the phone, "Charis. β
βAPLUSβ¦β¦β
The girl's attitude was much more relaxed than the last time she signed the cold document to give the money, and she asked with a soft cry, "Can you come and send me?" My mom was also there, and she came to pick me up and take me back to South Africa. β
"Now?" Song Ya glanced at Linda, she was shaking her head slightly, "It shouldn't be convenient Charis, I'm sorry." β
"She wants to meet you." Charlise said timidly, "There is no other meaning. β
"It's really not good, it's an extraordinary time, and we can't be caught by the media."
Her mother once broke her husband with one shot, and now in the face of what the married Nger will do to make her eldest daughter's belly, Song Ya didn't dare to bet, "I will send someone to take care of you, and your agent and I will often visit South Africa." β
"Oh." She should have been so disappointed that she cried on the spot, "Is it really not coming?" My mom was very fierce to me......
"After a while, when I take care of the affairs of the rice country and the family, will Charis? After a while I should be able to find an excuse to go to South Africa, where I have a business, equality and charity. Song Ya didn't have a good way, "Be strong, everything will be fine, and then insist on it." β
"Okay, goodbye then, I'm leaving......" She hung up the phone helplessly.
"Bye, have a nice trip."
The girl seems to have been by herself...... It's pitiful, Song Ya scratched her head, and her thoughts returned to her romantic debt, "I thought of something, even if Sony doesn't settle my record income at the beginning of next year, my cash flow shouldn't be a problem, right?" β
"A+ Records has two more labels, Music World Entertainment and Roc-A-Fella Records, and it will also add exclusive dance troupes, backup singers and other manpower for you, and the regular expenditure will be raised to a higher level."
"Fergie is definitely going to be in trouble again, and her daily life in Los Angeles is extravagant," Linda said. However, we can easily get the loan, and it is not a big problem. A+ Audio, Inner City Broadcasting Company will definitely not hand over profits at the end of the year, A+ Film Studios, A+ Wine and A+CN will continue to invest, Blade Warrior will be at least 15 million, A+CN next year's free subscription plus promotion expenditure is also tens of millions, A+ Wine will expand production and prepare other products such as champagne. A+ Pedal Company and Louise reported that there were profits, but not much, probably enough to balance the losses of other small businesses such as America Music Magazine, only A+ Clothing was more profitable, but the other shareholders had to divide a lot, Wal-Mart, Miss Kelly, Hayden, Song Asheng ......"
"Hmm." Song Ya closed his eyes and thought about it, it's really not a big problem, didn't he just not step on Motura, so he has always maintained very good financial discipline? "The new product line of A+ Liquor is planned to be suspended, not French champagne can only be called sparkling wine, and the United States does not recognize it, focusing on the expansion of gray goose vodka, it is still the same, and the expansion funds are transferred from the soft sister coin income of A+ clothing, so that they can talk about it themselves. Others can be loaned. β
"There's going to have to be a quarrel with Scott again." Linda said.
"It's noisy every year, and in the end, it's okay to get a result."
"Well, I'm not your assistant anymore, and Dr. May should take care of all of this......" Linda didn't want to worry about it.
"Well, I'll call him back from 3DFX when I go to Los Angeles."
"Yes, let's get ready and go, we still have to catch a flight. Daniel made a phone call in a while, and I was almost annoyed by him, and I could still be quiet on the plane. Linda complained.
In the evening, the tour group arrived in Los Angeles, and now they can temporarily stay in a Malibu beach villa, "and you will buy a new place to stay after your divorce next year." Linda said.
"Don't worry." It's a big deal to live with Xue Linfen, save some money, and after the divorce, you won't be afraid of gossip, "Daniel, what's the matter?" As soon as the phone was turned on, Daniel's life-chasing ringtone rang again.
"Have you talked to anyone at Sony? Are they looking for you?" Daniel asked.
"Didn't I just be on the plane, Daniel?" Song Ya was a little helpless, "I don't have the latest situation." β
"The African-American radio station in Manhattan scolded all afternoon, but the mainstream media didn't give any reaction, they were all playing dead! It's all there! The news that I'm leaving, and I can't mobilize the resources of Sony Columbia Records, so we should make things bigger! For example, as one radio guest said, organizing African-American groups to protest downstairs at Sony Electronics. Daniel came up with an idea.
"I will, but not for the time being."
Song Ya frowned: "If I play too much, even if you can stay, it will be temporary, even if Sony regrets not letting Motura come back, he will still find a chance to let you go in the future." β
"I know, give me a little more time!" Daniel said loudly.
"What does he want to do?" Song Ya asked Linda after hanging up the phone.
"Maybe you want to learn what Guebel and Peters did at Columbia Pictures."
Linda saw it more thoroughly, "Dig up more money for financial freedom in the second half of his life, maybe he is already acting, after all, Miss Kelly's position is in jeopardy after the last sudden change of attitude towards copyright library transactions." It's just that Sony's actions still exceeded expectations, and his early dismissal caused his plan to be completed in time...... It's time to set a limit to your support, boss. β
"I know, I didn't plan to renew my contract with Sony Columbia Records, did I? I'm getting revenge more for myself now. β
Song Ya smiled bitterly, his wife's decision had too much impact in the future...... One word, stupid! It's still stupid to think about it now!
"Cassity." There is another cell phone in Taragina.
"I'm leaving, leaving Chicago." Cassidy was also in a depressed mood on the other end of the phone, "I'll be leaving in a few days, where are you?" Can you go back to Chicago and see each other? β
"I'm in Los Angeles, it's inconvenient right now, the media is paying attention to me." Song Ya could only give the same reply to the other forest, he knew that Cassidi was going to go back to the university campus, "Let's go?" Isn't it yet spring enrollment time? β
"Well, you can save some money by disbanding the organization sooner, and there's not much street activity to do in Chicago in the winter......" Cassidy replied.
"Where are you going?"
"Alaska ......"
"So far?"
"Didn't I say I'd go far away? And a lot of universities rejected my application. Cassie said.
"It's a lot colder there than Chicago, Cassidy." Song Ya couldn't help but feel a little distressed, "It's not even a native of the United States." β
"Hmm." She stopped talking.
"Maybe ......," Song Ya took a breath, "I should arrange some Alaskan events in the future." β
She burst out laughing, "There aren't many people over there, and they don't like to hear Nger's singing." β
Alaska is very white and conservative, and the university there is less pressure to accept her than in the United States, "Then you have to take care of yourself in the past, the case here in Chicago is ......"
"I asked lawyer Tashwani that from next year onwards there will be a lot less pressure on my dad." Cassidy is now very politically sensitive, Peter will immediately find a way to completely solve the hidden danger of the FBI detective's murder after he officially takes office, Vic has a chance to get a better end, and Peter will not be able to use conventional means to solve the trouble with the FBI to kill people.
"Yes."
"So that's it? I'll call you again over there. β
"Okay, be careful all the way."
Charis, Cassity...... Song Ya sighed for a while, but it is not yet the time to be able to calmly hurt the spring and autumn," Daniel said that the mainstream media are silent, is this still the case? β
"Seems to be."
I just got off the plane and didn't know the situation, I returned to Malibu, and after a nervous understanding, I could probably confirm that what Daniel said was true, and the tabloids that asked for news from Delay went back to a few reports, and some of them were all tofu block articles, which had little influence, and the mainstream TV stations and print media were collectively silent, not knowing whether they wanted to wait for more accurate news or to cover up for Motura and Sony.
"Go on, I'm going to fire all the way this time, call Gordon."
A+CN has completed the first milestone of its cooperation with Comcast, but the performance is very poor, and the next stage of 45 minutes of evening news remains on the other party's free channel, and only 15 minutes of financial news has been expanded. It's a bit late now, and I can't catch up with this hot time period.
But the 24-hour news station has the biggest difference from the ordinary station in the early morning time period, and Comcast gave A+CN a full six hours in his family's other channel resource with lower ratings, and that station had nothing to broadcast late at night anyway.
Gordon stuffed in foreign news and talk shows, mainly talk shows, where the host and a few black guests could chat for hours on a news picture and occasionally open the usual yellow accents in late-night shows. The situation is stronger than people, and Gordon, who aspires to do serious journalism, is also making small compromises.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today's topic is discrimination in the record industry, so let's listen to a recording first." After midnight, the host said seriously to the camera.
