Chapter 986? Motura's Response

The female hostess' exclamation was aimed at the guests who had disappeared, and she had to suppress her discomfort and smooth things over for the troublemaker who was holding up her shoulder straps and posing for the camera.

For the first time, the two of them didn't pay attention to the big star who had passed out with his head on the back of the sofa.

But the show director noticed, and he ordered the camera to zoom in, and began to take close-ups of the face.

Due to the angle of the camera, Song Ya's nostrils are exactly in the center of the picture, his eyes are closed, and his face is as peaceful as if he is taking a nap.

"Hey! Why are you reacting like this APLUS..."

The female guest thought that Song Ya was making a joke, so she pushed his shoulder angrily in Spanish.

Song Ya's head shook accordingly, and turned to one side.

"Not everyone likes to see your pair of big..."

The host took the opportunity to sarcasm, and realized something was wrong in the middle of the sentence, "APLUS? APLUS?" She also came over and pushed a few times, and then looked at the staff in the studio in horror and helplessness.

The camera shakes violently a few times suddenly, and a male staff member rushes into the frame.

Then the local TV station cut the live broadcast to the hostess, "Uh, it seems that something happened, we are dealing with it..." the host said according to the director's instructions.

'Singer APLUS suddenly fainted while participating in a talk show in Mexico the day before yesterday. His spokesperson told our reporter that it was only because of a drug reaction to treat his finger injury. APLUS is in good health and has fully recovered. '

'The spokesperson's words were later confirmed. Last night APLUS's Mexico tour was still on time. He contributed a wonderful performance to the local fans. He seems to have recovered from the drug reaction and his state has not been affected. '

CUU's news here is accompanied by a short clip of Song Ya running around the concert and singing passionately.

"I'm fine, I'm fine..."

Then the CUU reporter was allowed a brief interview after the concert. Song Ya smiled and showed the bandaged middle finger to the camera, "I accidentally injured it during the performance. It might be a bit infected, so I ate some before recording the show." Anti-inflammatory painkillers and other things. So...the doctor said that I may have a greater reaction to certain drugs due to physical reasons, and I feel sleepy or something...In short, I am fine. They changed the treatment plan for me, thank you everyone care……"

"Do you have another concert in Mexico?"

"Yes,

next weekend. "

"Will it still be held as scheduled?"

"certainly!"

The CUU reporter didn't ask much in person. In the next scene, he used the tour venue and the Aztec Stadium in Mexico City as the background, and said to the camera with sorrow: "In recent years, some African-American singers with very good personal images, such as MJ, Whit Houston, and of course APLUS, are more or less involved in drug abuse rumors...'

"APLUS has fainted more than once in public. Maybe we still remember the scene where he fell down the stairs..."

The picture shows that when Song Ya Tianqi football stunner was back then, the reporter who was interviewing Harvey Weinstein accidentally photographed rolling down the high steps all the way, and Harvey was used as the background board.

"About other rumors about his hospitalization..." The reporter continued with examples.

"Hahaha!"

New York, the headquarters of Epic Records, a subsidiary of Sony Columbia Records. As the manager of the company’s most important signed singer, MJ, Motura also had his own exclusive office here even in the worst period. He laughed and turned off the TV , smug, "Mr. Stringer has just agreed to our plan. John Carley will leave at the end of the year, in the name of his body and energy not enough to support the simultaneous management of film and record companies on the east and west coasts."

"Will John Carley tip off?" Hollywood Eye, Anthony Pelicano asked.

"He's old-fashioned."

Motura replied, "He's pissed, but he won't break the rules. Now who would be stupid enough to bet on that sick worm?"

"OK." Anthony Pelicano stood up with a smile, "This time..."

"Give your best, Anthony, that's the same sentence, if we don't get rid of him first, other politicians and the media won't really take action. But on the other hand, that rampant kid has offended countless people for money, I believe that many will follow and step on him. Now is the best opportunity. This year, due to the tight capital chain, he has not only kept selling Netscape stocks, but even wooed David Bowie and those insiders who have a good relationship with him. Loan with interest..."

Motura said: "I know these Nger stars too well. They are bragging about how to invest and how to make money. When they go bankrupt, everyone finds out that they even lost their underwear!"

He instructed: "You know who to contact and how to contact them. Anthony, we have been planning for this for a long time, every day, every night... I want the most perfect revenge."

"I believe you will taste the joy of victory soon."

Anthony Pelicano walked to the door: "You will be very, very busy during this time."

"My body is a hundred times better than that worm, haha!"

After Motula finished speaking, both of them laughed, "You should also go to work. I have to let the management and Mr. Stringer recognize who is the real king of the record industry within this period of time."

"I have no doubts about that."

Anthony Pelicano pushed the door and went out.

"Welcome, welcome everyone..."

Later, several Sony Columbia Records and Epic Records executives filed in. The so-called "his people" were not very happy in the Daniel era, but the John Carley era has been gradually restored to power.

"Tommy, Tommy Motura, congratulations." These veterans all complimented, "Why don't you have a celebration party?"

"Wait until next year. Pour your own wine, we're busy."

Motura began to take over John Carley's work ahead of schedule. In fact, he was secretly involved in many decisions this year, such as Epic Records joining the competition for the Boyz II man group. "What does Boyz II man say?" he asked.

"Uh, they want to learn from APLUS and set up their own record company. This point has gradually been agreed within the group, and the company's address must be in their hometown of Philadelphia."

The executive of Epic Records in charge of this matter replied: "At the same time, the four of them don't want to give up the long-term cooperative relationship with the gold medal producer Babyface, so they will give some shares to LAFACE Records. We... only have a release contract left, and we have to bid with other big companies. .”

"No matter what the cost, take them down!"

Motura showed his usual swiftness.

"Well, according to the survey, their contemporary rhythm and blues is becoming less and less popular among fans, and now some white teenage pop groups are becoming popular in Europe, as well as fusion hip-hop like APLUS." The executive said hesitantly.

"We need the No. 1 boy group and awards season darling, the cornerstone and heritage of a big label, like Barbra Streisand is to Sony Columbia Records."

Motura waved his hand in dissatisfaction, "Just give us a good start for next year, it will be big news in the industry." He took out Balotelli's personal information from the drawer, "Sony Columbia Records signed this newcomer immediately , based on APLUS’s personality, comprehensive and focused on packaging and creation, and a little more ‘bandit’, I want his debut album next year to drop a shock bomb in the urban African-American circle!”

"Bgod...looks good."

The executive looked at Balotelli's photo, "You need to have a Buff opponent to play gangsta rap, and now the east and west coasts..."

"If you don't play with West Coast, Death Row records won't work, and West Coast hip-hop will die."

Motura made his own judgment, "Just pick our own singers, NAS is a good candidate, Balotelli is from Brooklyn, NAS is from Queens, New York Civil War. It's good for both of them, we just sell records .”

Newman, the administrator of NAS, was not present, and the executives would all smile knowingly. They knew that Motura had begun to take revenge on Daniel's 'inheritance', an old friend of APLUS, and they were very happy to see it.

"This Bgod... can he beat the NAS in battle?" Someone asked worriedly.

"He's not worthy of our resources if he can't confront NAS head-on, simple as that."

Motura replied: "Of course, you should give him a little bit of resources."

"Understood." It's a stretch within the company, and all the people present are veterans.

"Mariah Carey..." someone said.

"She doesn't care."

Motura doesn't want to hear that woman's name, and he still has half of the management rights of the other party, and as a money printing machine for Sony Columbia Records, the most popular American female singers in this book, whether it is Sony Howard Stringer or John Cali doesn't allow her to touch her for the time being, revenge will be avenged sooner or later, when he thinks of the past of being betrayed by that woman, he will throw things like crazy, curse, swear... But for now, he has to talk about strategy.

"Where's Shakira?" Someone asked again, "She's a guest singer at the APLUS concert, they must have had sex..."

"Same thing. I'll have a good talk with Estefan, we need the support of the Latin gang right now, oh yes, not only her, but also these Latino singers, all signed, we at Sony Columbia Records are going to create a Latino Storm, this is my core strategy for the next few years, and all resources must be allocated!"

He took out several resumes of singers from the drawer, "An Likui, Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin, Tanlia..." Whether they are popular or not, they are all Latino.

"Wow, the stakes are high."

"Yes, I gamble it all, I believe in my own vision, how about you?" Motula looked over one by one with firm eyes.

"certainly."

"Your judgment is never wrong."

"We trust you, Tommy."

Executives have pledged their allegiance.

"Okay, what other good seedlings do you have? Let's decide together today." Satisfied, Motura half-lyed on the boss's chair and began to share the benefits.

The power is back, signing this, not signing that, favoring this and not that, he has roughly read and heard the singer resumes and singing demos submitted by the executives, and quickly makes judgments, becoming more and more swift, and the more moody come better.

"This is a newcomer from Alista Records. He failed to renew his contract after three years. He was admitted to Columbia University before he was 16 years old. He is also from Brooklyn. He has very good singing and writing skills. Ability. I think it can be created as a talented female creative newcomer, and it can be signed very cheaply."

An executive hands over a resume.

"Alicia Keys?" Motura saw the little girl in the photo, "Looks good, listen to it."

"Okay." The executive started to play the girl's singing demo.

"How can anyone listen to such old-school R&B soul!"

Motula curled his lips in dissatisfaction just after hearing a few sentences, and directly threw his resume into the trash can, "Next!"
