Chapter 456: Revisiting the Dream Manor
As Eli expected, Motura's move was to fight a public relations war to discredit him, and the relevant news could be seen in the evening newspaper, which greatly dissipated the shocking effect of Song Ya and Mariah Carey's official announcement of their relationship, and vice versa, although Motura may not have known that the two decided to make an official announcement today.
'APLUS AND MARIYAH KELLY!? Can you think of it? β
The newspaper that Louise reported was released around this time, and received numerous requests for reprints, and sweet hand-holding and kissing photos of Songya and Mariah Carey outside the Procott Theater appeared everywhere, and the tabloid, which had been losing money since its purchase, turned profitable within a day.
A channel under the ABC is discussing this, "The two have a lot of cooperation in music, their status is very compatible, and so are their looks and talents, but APLUS is four years younger than Mariah Carey, right?" β
"It's not surprising that they often appear together, such as New Year's Eve, award ceremonies and commercial performances, and they also do a clothing business together."
"That's because they sang Empire State Of Mind."
"This song has gotten a Grammy year."
"So ......"
"They're just a good match, see the ring on Mariah Carey's hand?"
The picture gives a photo of Song Ya kissing Mariah Carey's cheek, and she smiled and held Song Ya's face, just showing off the ring on her right hand, "Seventeen carats, I heard that it is worth two million, it was bought by APLUS at a charity auction, maybe the two are already engaged." β
"So fast?"
"I guess they've been around for a while."
The host and guests gossiped, "APLUS makes no less than Mariah Carey, he has his own record label. β
"But I heard that his money ......," one of the guests began.
"Can you believe it? He's helping Mira's father launder money, and the case is now over. β
"According to reliable sources, he has been summoned by the police, and I don't think law enforcement will find him for no reason......"
"So now the official announcement may be that he is playing a trick to divert the public's attention from his involvement in a Ponzi scheme?"
"Probably."
Song Ya didn't want to watch it anymore and turned off the TV, "Fortunately, Motura generally only spends its efforts on those media that have a lot of influence. Other small TV stations and tabloids basically focused on the official announcement of my relationship with Mimi, and the response was so great that the limelight even overshadowed Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder, and you became a top topic of conversation for the first time. β
"Is this called?" Eli smiled wryly: "The world is still the world of the mainstream media. β
"You can't let him go on like this, Newman just called, and your record was suddenly put on the shelves by a lot of audiovisual product chains and it's hard to find it. Motura also ordered a move on Ferge's records, which he used to override Fergie's authority as the manager of Sony Columbia Records. Linda reports.
"Fxxk, it's still a clichΓ©." Song Ya scolded.
"Old-fashioned but useful, your record income settlement is going to be delayed again, exactly the same as in '91." Goodman said.
"yes, exactly the same." Song Ya sighed.
"So now what should we do?" Eli asked, "What about the killer feature you said in APLUS?" β
"My killer weapon must be coordinated with the management before it can be released." Song Ya said.
"What if the management were on the side of Motura now?" Hamlin questioned: "We have already brought the recordings to the employers. β
"What tape?" Eli asked.
"It's nothing, if the management is on his side, then I will even be black with the management, anyway, now the black book is the whole rice trend." Song Ya said.
"Then we can't do nothing now, can we?" Linda asked.
"Donovan will take me on a trip to Neverland, and I'll leave for California right away." Song Ya replied.
The second time I came to Neverland, it was a little quieter than the last time I came, perhaps because M was going to start a world tour in August and leave the United States.
"Sandy." He met Sandy Glenn again, as well as MJ's lawyers, Lee Phillips and Botfield.
"You said earlier, you're with Mariah Carey, is she dependent on you now, my agent ......" Sandy Gren asked anxiously as she shook hands and asked in front of Donovan.
"I'll see MJ and talk about it, okay?" Song Ya replied with a smile.
"What will Tommy do to you, have you thought about it?" When shaking hands with Lee Phillips, the other party asked, these people are aware of Motura's previous relationship with Mariah Kelly, and they also know what kind of character Motura is.
"He's already done it, those money laundering suspects or something, but I'm not afraid, it's not like I haven't fought with him." Song Ya replied.
"What a young man is fearless." Botfield sneered.
"I can't help it, I'm with Mimi, and I don't have regret pills for this kind of thing." Song Ya said.
"Will MJ support us?" Donovan asked.
The three of them shook their heads at the same time, "He'll meet you, but don't get your hopes up." Lee Phillips said.
"Okay." Song Ya nodded, and walked to the inside of the villa under the leadership of the three of them, MJ was still waiting at the old place, and there were two other lawyers standing beside him, Aaron Grubman, who was in charge of record affairs, and his old partner Blanca.
"MJ wants to see him alone." When Song Ya came in, Blanca walked out and locked himself and Donovan and Sandy Gren from the door.
This move surprised Song Ya a little, first, MJ's lawyers were all present, and second, the only lawyer left behind was Aaron Grubman, who had the weakest sense of existence.
"APLUS, LONG TIME NO SEE." MJ still looked a little shy, took the initiative to come over and hugged Song Ya, "Sit down, I heard about you and Mariah Carey." The King of Pop sat down, held his forehead and laughed to himself for a moment, "You're going to embarrass Tommy." β
"Uh......"
In the eyes of those in the know, Song Ya knew that his practice of prying the corner of the wall and driving Motura away might not seem very authentic, and he asked embarrassedly: "Will you support me?" β
"I will bless you." MJ replied.
"Taking the opportunity to get Motura away is good for both of us MJ, he hates you so much, you may not know, his crazy reaction after the release of your first black or white MV, he smashed everything in the office......"
There aren't many opportunities to see each other, and MJ doesn't like to talk for a long time, so he has to get straight to the point and provoke wildly.
"I know, I know." MJ raised his hand and motioned for him to stop talking, "Actually, I can understand that I did treat him a little too much at the time. β
"MJ and Mr. Motura have reached a mutual understanding." Aaron Grubman added for him.
"You know, when a bunch of kids get together, there's always someone who's going to make themselves the kids king with a little trick."
MJ hinted at his motives, it seems that he really didn't target Motula, but wanted to establish a strong relationship with Motula before the album was released, which seems to be his success, and Motura is also his manager, but Motula really rarely seems to point fingers at him after that.
"We have a senior manager who is more pleasant to work with, who is weaker than Motura, and it's a win-win for us." It's not Song Ya's way of doing things to give up easily, and he still tries to continue to fight.
"Who?" Aaron Grubman asked.
Song Ya saw that MJ also raised his head, revealing an interested gaze, "Daniel, Daniel Glass." β
"The guy who made a mess of Momyo Kitome?" Aaron Grubman scoffed.
"He did well in SBK, in 90 or 91, it was a failure for him to be the president of EMI Beimi, but it was not his sin." Song Ya replied.
"So you think you can take down Motura with Mariah Carey?" Aaron Grubman asked.
"I've got a killer feature, a recording." Song Ya took out the Walkman and played the recording on the spot.
'You don't know what kind of scum that Harlem Negro Fat Boy is!' β
As soon as this sentence came out, MJ and Aaron Grubman were moved, and they exchanged a look with each other.
"When I release this recording, you still have to publicly support me MJ." Song Ya said: "After all, you are also black, and you and I, like Mimi, are of mixed race, and we have also been subjected to some pressure from the black community. β
MJ stopped talking, and lowered his head again to think.
"Are you sure it's Motura himself?" Aaron Grubman asked.
"The eavesdropping case was done by someone he sent, although I can't catch the connection with him yet, but soon, an intermediary has arrived." Song Ya replied.
"That Antonio?"
"Yes, they're all Italian, the private investigator who planted the bugging device is, and so is the Motula."
"I still won't say anything about APLUS."
MJ suddenly spoke, "This recording may come out later, but not now, and it won't help you put pressure on management." He seemed a little distracted, "APLUS, THERE ARE OFTEN PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THE SO-CALLED WIN-WIN IN FRONT OF ME, I'M TIRED, I CAN'T TELL THEIR TRUE PURPOSE, WHETHER IT'S YOU, MADONNA, MR. GEFFEN, INCLUDING TOMY MOTURA......"
"Maybe it's hard for me to find true friends in this industry, so I don't dare to give anything easily, I'm a person who only treats people sincerely but lacks to be treated sincerely, so, I'm sorry APLUS." He said.
