Of course I've heard some rumors about Mr. Motula, and I mean the recent recording, but he used to be my mentor, my boss. In case you don't know, when I tried to make my debut in the 90s, it was very hard to go back and forth between major record companies, and I also thought that there was little hope and wanted to give up the path of being a singer, and it was Mr. Motura who gave me the opportunity to have five years of harmonious cooperation with Sony Columbia Records. ”

On the last day of the Christmas holiday, and before the opening of the last of the four tours, Song Ya personally read a public statement, "But for racial discrimination, of course, my position is zero tolerance, which has nothing to do with personal relationships, nor does it have anything to do with my music company, zero tolerance is zero tolerance......

Goodman and Hamlin, two lawyers, Gordon, Pierre Sutton and other well-known African-American media people, as well as Dave Hall, the bitter master who was scolded for being a fat boy in Negro, William, the pastor of Chicago's South City, and Michelle, an equal rights activist, all stood behind him to express their support, "I hereby call on Sony to face up to this problem, and all African-Americans are waiting for an answer......

Although it was already part of his deal with Sony, he still had to win beautifully, and it felt like he was beating Motura head-on, not for anyone else or for any other reason.

He did not participate in the Manhattan protests on the basis of the last concert, but New York rappers such as NAS, Jazzy, Rakim, and Kane Daddy were all present, and the team reached its highest point outside the Sony Building.

Other Sony Columbia Records' African-American artists have had to publicly express their solidarity, including MJ, who also issued a statement through his close lawyer, Aaron Bruegman, and some other ethnic groups.

According to the good script, Sony immediately said that they would take the matter seriously, and they would form an internal team to investigate the incident.

That night, Motura very obediently and cooperatively came forward to apologize publicly, first of all, he confirmed that the phone call was from his mouth, but specifically stated that it was only a private phone call after drinking, and it was an unintentional statement that was out of control, he sincerely apologized to Dave Hall, APLUS and all African Americans and was willing to take responsibility for his words and deeds, and then he announced his resignation on the spot, of course, resigning from his current position as president of Sony Entertainment.

This is a good move after negotiating the conditions, after the opponent pushed the boat down the river and conceded defeat, Song Yacai died down, before he actively and passively cooled down the matter, the inner city broadcaster and A+CN both focused on the Christmas optimism program, according to Gordon's words, this is when everyone wants to hear something happy.

Is this a hearty victory? It may not be counted, first of all, in order to prevent his black basic plate from having problems during the war, he did not dare to pierce the window paper that Motura is the manager of MJ, which is not much concerned by the general public, and secondly, it is still possible that Motura will quietly return in mid-96 after the end of Sony's internal investigation and become the president of Sony Columbia Records, sitting in the position he lost more than two years ago.

But Sony did make very big concessions, in addition to the conditions that John Cali and Takaki agreed to, such as canceling the last record contract for new songs and selections, and guaranteeing the interests of A+ Records and Mariah Carey and close singers within Sony Columbia Records in all ways to prevent being liquidated by Motura in the future.

There are also a series of alliances under the city, such as the settlement of record revenues, the change of managers, the tilt of film industry resources, and the prevention of CBS from releasing Sinaloa feature documentaries.

Maybe now is the best thing to do, John Cali is right when he says that he can't completely make Motura disappear from the record industry, or die socially, or die......

So how to deal with Motura is still a long-term question, and he is not Lori Jr.

Little Lowry's lifetime records, unpublished posthumous works, and his death itself continue to create tangible and intangible benefits for himself, and Song Ya knows that that is called a big victory, the kind where the other party loses and can't turn over at all.

Of course, what can we talk about turning over when people are dead?

However, in order to kill little Lowry and Sinaloa, a lot of hand tails were created at the same time, and it was much more difficult to kill Motura, and how to deal with his death was even more difficult and dangerous, and he might even gamble with his own life and his family's life.

It's a bit of a shame......

In short, the current result is acceptable, Motura and Sony have reserved the back hand to take revenge on Sinaloa in the future, and the same is true for their own side, if Motura can really return to Sony Columbia Records in a low-key manner, all these protests and public opinion attacks can be repeated in the gourd picture, plus the proposal against Sony in the hands of Federal Representative Rrangel.

In the equilibrium theory, the interests of both sides are maximized, fighting without breaking, and the balance of terror is balanced.

"I've arrived."

He finally ended his four-show tour contract with Anschutz's acting department, and the only imperfection was that the ticket prices were set relatively low, and they did not match the superstar coffee spots.

This is the first tour and couldn't have asked for more.

New York, John Cali's manor mansion on Long Island, and the last one-man victory was not obtained, no, it should be said that there was no taste.

Hearing that the mansion had thirty-five rooms, large and small, he led Old Mike through the hallways under the guidance of John Cali, and into the large and elegant library of old fashion, "Sandy, Mr. Cali. He greeted two of the three who were waiting.

The faint scent of ink and wood wafted in the library, and the light was dim, "Aplus, welcome, please take a seat." John Cali shook hands with him as host, and Sandy Glenn sat on the couch a little farther away, crossed his legs, and raised his hand to greet him in return.

The last man sat deeper, with a bottle of whiskey and a wine glass on the low table in front of him, a lamp lit, and the upper part of his body hidden in the darkness that the lamp did not illuminate, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

“APLUS…… It's been a long time since we've seen each other. ”

It was Motula's voice, very tired, but this practice of hiding himself in the dark made Song Ya feel a little dangerous and uncomfortable, "Mr. Motula, is that you?" He didn't go any further, he didn't sit down.

"Hmm."

Motura reached for the glass, took it up and drank it down, then got up and took a few steps forward, his face looked very haggard, the collar of his shirt was unbuttoned, his suit was open, he seemed to have drunk too much, and he seemed to be under great mental torture, and his whole person was a little 'shaky'.

Indeed, as John Cali said, this may be the most difficult time for a man, and certainly not for himself, who has come here to taste victory.

"No, it's still a little bit away from a hearty win." Song Ya secretly woke up to herself, and waited quietly beside John Kali.

Motura raised her eyebrows, exchanged words with herself for a few seconds, and then moved away, his fingers tweaking his short beard, which was already a little gray, and his lips moved, as if he were considering the words.

Song Ya is not in a hurry, this is the third struggle between himself and Motula, and the three times he has more or less achieved his goal, and he won the second time.

He wasn't sure if the hard-copied article was instructed by Motula, but it was clear that his subsequent series of counterattacks had worked, and Motura was scared, and now he ...... Just wait.

"Tommy......" Sandy Gren, who was watching coldly, seemed a little unbearable, and he looked at Motura melancholy and reminded softly.

As MJ's former agent and Mariah Carey's current agent, Sandy Glenn had a good personal relationship with Motura in the past, but with his backlash with MJ, he is a good witness candidate.

The owner John Cali is also, he will replace Motura as president of Sony Entertainment, replacing Daniel as his manager, he and Motura may have conflicts in the future, but at present he also hopes that this turmoil can end as soon as possible, so that his work and interests next year will not have a big unpredictable risk.

"I'M SORRY, APLUS, I APOLOGIZE FOR MY PREVIOUS WRONG REMARKS." Motura finally spoke, and it was calm.

Song Ya slowly stretched out his hand, of course he didn't care about Motula's so-called wrong remarks, he just wanted to see Motula face to face and formally bow his head to himself.

"Our previous feud was just between the two of us, so don't affect our family." Motura suddenly looked a little broken, he grabbed Song Ya's hand, and said in a trembling voice.

"We all have families, and no one wants to see that happen." Song Yacai will not let him have a moral advantage at such a time, "And you broke through the bottom line first." ”

"I didn't ...... Forget it, anyway I apologize to you, in the presence of Mr. Cali and Sandy. ”

What's the point of arguing with this now? Motura said: "This is the end of our feud, and I hereby promise you and them that I swear by the life of the one I love most." ”

"Well, that's fine, let's stop here."

Song Ya was satisfied, it seems that the turning point is that the article about her ex-wife and daughter played the most critical role, Motura had misunderstood his underworld relationship before, he didn't dare to bet, he was afraid.

It's good to be afraid, hum, "Thank you, Mr. Cali, Sandy, then I'll go first." ”

Motula's performance today made him feel good, but he was a little inexplicably melancholy, this enemy was not enough to see, indeed, his money and energy had already thrown him away, how could a senior manager fight with the 300th richest man in the whole meter?

And the opponent is soft because he cares about the safety of his family, and he feels a little bit like he is the villain, which is not very comfortable.

So be it.

"Mike." He and Old Mike just walked away.

"Tommy......" Sandy Gren walked up to Motula, who was as silent as a defeated rooster, as if to say something comforting, but eventually left silently.

"Take a break here, and don't meet Tommy like a spoiled star." John Cali was considerate enough to catch up with Sandy Gren and leave Motura alone for a while.

Motura slumped back into his lamp, lifted his other hand, which had been hidden in his pocket, looked blankly at his crossed index and middle fingers, and then continued to drink.
