Chapter 242 Bet

Coming back from Old Joe’s record, “Uh…” Song Ya looked around from the people around her, and still picked her brother Tony, “Tony, you can go with Goodman to discuss the contract with Old Joe tomorrow, and keep an eye on him.” , Don’t make the situation stiff, just finalize it when you think it’s almost done. I don’t want a good-hearted help, but in the end it turns out to be an enemy because of money. I can’t write a few songs a year, and you know it.”

Tony by my side can handle the relationship with people like Old Joe. Although Al has solved the knot with Old Joe, it is not as good as Tony can ease the atmosphere.

"Don't worry about Alex, wrap it on me." Tony was very happy, "Shall I bring the silencer?"

"Okay, don't make trouble."

The next day, Song Ya and Fei Ji appeared at the gate of the campus. Song Ya was wearing a leather jacket, wearing a pair of school uniform pants, and carrying a schoolbag on one shoulder. Fei Ji was dressed in a campus style, holding a few books in her hand. Book. The two acted affectionate and joking, but actually hummed 1, 2, 1 to coordinate their steps. Yeremov believed that the same steps can best reflect the feeling of a couple between the two.

After walking back and forth for more than ten minutes, when the invited street photographer was satisfied, the two got into the car and went home. Going to school? I'm too busy before sending out the order, so let's wait until I have time.

"How's the award going? Hayden."

Walking into the study, Song Ya saw Hayden sitting silently in front of the TV, as if he was struggling with something.

Hayden didn't answer, and pressed the remote control in his hand.

"BET News, I'm Gordon, welcome back, about the Grammys..."

"We have noticed that there is a rumor circulating recently that in the best single of the year award, since only APLUS and Mariah Carey are black among the five groups of nominated singers, the majority of black judges should vote for them .Huh? Wait, let's not discuss their much fairer complexion. I also think it is completely unreasonable based on this logic. Music does not distinguish between races and national boundaries, and this should be the case when it comes to awards... "

The full name of BET, Black Entertainment Television, was founded by Robert Johnson, a senior black media person, and its target audience is also black. Because it is a cable station, its coverage is not large, but its influence in the black community is getting higher and higher, especially since it went public last year. This TV station also has a certain influence in the music industry, because he started by playing various music MVs for free to attract subscribers.

"WTF?"

This backstab made Song Ya baffled, "Because of the relationship between Quincy Jones and Russell Simmons, I didn't get many black votes, but now I'm being attacked because of this?"

"Totally disregard the facts, but it is fatal. If this rumor spreads, oh no, it has already spread. The black judges will think before voting, and the white judges will hate you." Hayden rubbed his brows, "I give Donovan called and he admitted it was tricky. Primarily BET is a black voices network and they're more believable when they take the initiative to say that."

"Even if I can refute the rumors, it's too late, right? The judges will send out ballots one after another in two days." Song Ya's face turned cold, "Can I sue this TV station?"

"I can't sue. It will take a long time to win the sue even by name and name, not to mention he hasn't yet."

Hayden said: "I called Yeremov and Eli, and they will come right away. Now it's time to use crisis communication."

Taraji rushed in, "Motura."

"Hello, Mr. Motura." Song Ya picked up the phone, "I don't, I won't use that kind of canvassing method, and I'm not a fool!"

"Really?" Motura was very upset, "You know the price of deceiving me, right?"

Uh...brother, I didn't just deceive you...

"I know, I won't do such a stupid thing!" Song Ya said: "I'm completely baffled now! Not only have I never dealt with BET, but I will not spread the stupid remarks that black judges must vote for black people.

You know, I didn't expect many black judges to vote for me because of the relationship between Quincy Jones and Russell Simmons! "

"Well. Roberto Johnson, the president of BET, studied at the University of Illinois, and Gordon, the host, also started in the Detroit media. They have a good relationship with Quincy Jones."

Motura said: "I'll talk to Johnson, Quincy Jones has gone too far this time!" He hung up angrily.

Song Ya called Hamlin over, and when Yeremov and Eli arrived, they immediately started a meeting to discuss.

"Mapping racial issues in reverse, but I have to admit that Quincy Jones has a beautiful hand, very beautiful."

Eli couldn't think of any good solution for a while, "Do you have to win this award? APLUS?"

"It's just an award. I'm still young, and there are still many opportunities in the future. I have to win it."

Song Ya replied: "But if you want to, then I really want to take it."

"In short, let's make a statement to clarify." Hamlin suggested.

"No." Hayden disagreed: "Have you forgotten the Rodney King case? The reversal news of the most influential cable station CUU was deliberately ignored by all parties, and there were not many disturbances, and the coverage of BET was even greater. Low, as long as the wireless stations and paper media do not reprint it widely, the public opinion turmoil caused by it can be controlled. If we take the initiative to clarify, then this news will attract the attention of the public instead, and the loss outweighs the gain.”

"Playing dead?" Song Ya shook his head straight, "This is not a good strategy for crisis public relations."

"Sometimes it's the best way to deal with it."

Eli snapped his fingers suddenly, "The current situation is like this. The other party's smearing point is very powerful. We really can't deal with it. Clarification? It will expand the influence, and what should we clarify? Didn't we make that kind of public relations rhetoric? No How many people believe it? After all, it’s something that African-Americans can do. What’s the use of a public relations battle? Our goal is to win the Grammy Award. Even if the public relations battle is successful, the votes of the judges have already been sent out .So our public relations target must be BET, as long as they don’t authorize other media to reprint it, and then issue a false statement to minimize the negative impact. It’s just bad luck to lose some votes.”

"Is BET boss Johnson a member of the donkey party?" Song Ya asked.

Hayden called Donovan, "William Morris will fax his information."

Not long after, the fax machine began to squeak, "Whoa...a bachelor's degree from the University of Illinois and a master's degree from Princeton University. With an educational background that leans towards the donkey party, Johnson is actually an elephant party. He and the godfather of cable TV, TCI CEO John Ma Long's relationship is very good, and he is the most successful black man in the business field in the United States, not one of them."

"FXXK, there are not many black people in the Elephant Party, but none of them are easy to deal with..."

Song Ya’s social relations are all useless. This era is as tough as the blacks in the party, with conservative political tendencies. They don’t have much affection for black compatriots who seek benefits through equal rights issues, and they are more willing to integrate into the white system and rely on personal struggle. He is in the top position, so he is often scolded for being black-skinned and white-hearted, such as Condoleezza and Colin who are currently working in the Elephant Party government, such as the black police officers scolded by N.W.A in FXXKthaPolice.

He remembered that Michelle had also studied at Princeton, so he made a phone call, but the other party was not familiar with Johnson.

It was Motura who solved the problem, "APLUS, go to Washington, Johnson is interested in you, let's talk to him face to face."
