Chapter 458: Cornered
Seeing that Schulhoff, the president of Sonome, is the most critical battle, Song Ya does not have many hole cards, and if the meeting reached through Hamlin's repeated urging does not come true, he will officially launch it and make Motula's discriminatory remarks known to the world.
Under tight security, he rushed back to New York early the next morning.
'APLUS, CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH MARAH KELLY?' ’
'Did you end up with Miss Kelly after you broke up with Fergie?' ’
Or was Mariah Carey the trigger for your breakup with Fergey? ’
'Is that diamond ring you gave her really seventeen carats?' Are diamonds natural? ’
'APLUS, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT PICTURE OF EATING MELONS?' ’
"What melons to eat?" The romance between the two big-name singers has become a top topic, and the number of reporters who come to the airport is several times more than when she and Mira used to date, and he finally got into the car under the siege, and he was puzzled by one of the issues.
"See for yourself." Linda handed him a tabloid photograph of him sitting next to the camera, holding a spoon and holding half a watermelon, with a satisfied smile on his lips.
"WTF ......" he was stunned for a moment at the photo, "how did this get out?" He saw a student of Old Larry next to him, which should have been taken by insiders of the crew during the filming of Where Is The Love or other MVs with Old Larry.
"Can you not eat that openly?" Linda wasn't too happy.
"I kind of like watermelon, isn't it? No one else can give it away, but you can buy it yourself and eat it, just like fried chicken. ”
"Watermelon is as delicious as fried chicken." Linda said.
"Don't worry about which one is delicious! This shows that someone is starting to manipulate the media to give targeted vaccinations, you accuse others of discrimination, and the other person will take out this picture, you see! APLUS eats watermelon himself and has fun! Hamlin said.
"Something leaked?" Song Ya reacted immediately, "My MV was filmed with Sony Columbia Records, and the internal photos of the crew were definitely deliberately leaked by their people." ”
"Definitely, it's not a smear, but it will undo a lot of the effects of our killer moves." Hamlin said.
"In any case, we'll see later, and I'll give you the answer as soon as I walk out the door of Mr. Schufferhall's office." Song Ya rubbed her eyebrows, "Did Motura finally remember what he said on the phone?" ”
"You didn't say much in Los Angeles, did you?" Hamlin asked.
"Of course I have to tell MJ about it, otherwise how can I win his support." Song Ya replied.
"Mr. Daniel is calling." Linda handed over the phone.
"Hey, Daniel, yes, I'm in New York, I'm going to see Suffhall right away." Song Ya took the phone.
"APLUS, YOU'VE LEAKED OUR BUSINESS!" Daniel was furious, "I was called to London, and I was humiliated by the gang at headquarters!" What just happened! ”
"It's impossible on my side, my secrecy work is top-notch, and I don't even have an assistant and crisis PR yet." Song Ya frowned, shirking responsibility on her lips, and secretly began to look for the possibility of leaking secrets.
"I think I'll have to re-evaluate my work with you." Daniel said angrily: "Doug Morris should get the news immediately, are you deliberately cutting off my back road?" ”
"Now?! No! Daniel, I'm about to have a showdown with the boss of Sonome, and that's when you tell me you're quit!? ”
Song Ya was also anxious, "Don't fool me Daniel, you must not drop the chain now." ”
"And guess what, I think you're playing tricks on me!"
"Okay, okay, let's not worry about who is playing whom, you have been cut off, shouldn't you work more closely with me?" Song Ya thought of a person, MJ, no, MJ can't be so talkative, then there is only the only third person present, lawyer Aaron Grubman.
"I lost the power in Momoyo Beimi, and I can't help a lot of things now, you know, APLUS! We planned! I used the last of my influence in Momoyo Beimi to fight Motura, and now it's all over! ”
Daniel was so angry that he shouted into the phone: "My friendship with Doug Morris is also over, and he may even turn his head to help Motura in order to get revenge on me, which is the Atlantic Records, which is the most important at Warner!" So now we're going to lose two of the Big Five, EMI and Warner! ”
"Fxxk, don't be impulsive Daniel, there's no turning back, understand? I'm going to have a showdown with Schuff Hall right away, and there's no turning back! Song Ya also yelled at him.
"It's hard to imagine how I could be moved by the slum boy who could buy it for only 10,000 dollars back then, to do such a shocking thing!" Daniel lamented.
"Revealing my old scars doesn't help you at all now, Daniel." Song Ya was not happy, she was poor back then, and Aunt Susie gave seventy-five knives to someone who had to be carefully hidden in the soles of her shoes, and she could still walk when she saw ten thousand knives? Really.
"After seeing Schuff Hall, call me as soon as possible, if it fails, I can only find a new job, or accept the assignment of Momoyo, Fxxk
! Daniel hung up.
Old Mike parked the car steadily, Song Ya got out of the car with bared teeth, and walked quickly into the Sony Building.
In '91, his fight with Motura also alarmed Schuffer, but that time only Takaki was with him, and this time he prepared a large team, all of which were elderly lawyers and executives, and Takaki was still there, and he sat at the far end of the long conference table with the two book executives.
"Welcome, APLUS, problem boy!" Schuffhall obviously had a big opinion on this matter, and when he saw Song Ya appear at the door of the conference room surrounded by Hamlin and others, the old white man slapped his face twice exaggeratedly, "Please come in, sit down!" The tone is also contemptuous.
"Mr. APLUS, I heard Deputy Manager Gao Shu's message, what is your appeal?" A silver-haired white man dominated the meeting.
"Who are you?"
"Head of the Legal Department of Beimi, Vice President."
"My appeal is very clear, and I believe that Mr. Takaki has also conveyed it all, and there is no other option for Motura to leave." Song Ya replied.
The other party threw away the papers and pen in his hand, leaned back, leaned back in his chair, and looked at Schuffhall.
"What made you think that?" Schuff Hall asked, "Who do you think you are, MJ?" ”
"MJ will also support me, after the tape is released, and Mariah Carey." "All the black singers at Sony Columbia Records will be on my side, and there will be other black musicians, and all the black groups and the general public who have mainstream values. ”
"Boy, you want to discredit us, you're still early!" Schuff Hall, the president of North Rice, an engineer who is more than rigorous and does not know much about the entertainment industry, pointed his finger here domineeringly, "You are playing a big joke with us!" ”
"So many of you are waiting to hear me joke when you see me?"
There's no way, Daniel's phone call just now drove him to a dead end, "My demands must be met, I don't ask for much, it's also good for you that Motura racist to leave Sony Columbia Records, that guy not only discriminates, but also likes to use the company's resources to suppress its singers, what is this called?" Communiqué personal vendetta? ”
"As far as I know, you're not even our contracted singer APLUS, your record company only has a distribution contract with us, Motura gave you one of the best signing conditions, except for MJ and Madonna, no other singer can get such good terms, and Mr. Motura gave it to you." An executive chimed in.
"What I fought for, my head has created countless values for you, and Motula's smear in 91 cost me millions of meters, and that incident has also caused trouble here." Song Ya looked at Schuffhall, "Really?" Mr. Schuff Hall. ”
"Isn't it good for you to continue to work together? In considering that it was you who intervened in his relationship with Miss Mariah Carey. The executive continued.
"Continue to work with a racist?"
"The source of your recording is very questionable, and we have applied to the court for a restraining order."
"I have a lot of friends who have a deep sense of justice."
"Hah!" The head of the legal department scoffed, "You can't even prove that the person in the recording is him." ”
"Really? The New York wiretapping case has caught the key person, and you must be prepared to be recognized by the key person in the future by the key person in the future, and the public relations crisis will not be limited to Sony's record company. ”
"The one named Antonio?"
"Yes, and two private investigators, all of them of Italian origin, what a coincidence." Song Ya sneered: "Do you really dare to pack tickets for Motura?" You should know who he is, or you don't know him well enough. If you want me to say, he's really lawless......"
"APLUS, HOW OLD ARE YOU?" Schuffhall asked suddenly.
"Almost nineteen."
