Chapter 451 Basic Disk
The next day, early morning.
"Number 16, the Proctor Theater, isn't it?"
Song Ya and Mariah Carey chatted happily together. It was rare for them to have the opportunity to spend the whole night so sweetly before.
"It's a pity you couldn't come to the scene."
Mariah Carey was lying on her back with her hands raised high, looking at the sparkling seventeen-carat diamond ring happily, she couldn't get enough of it. Sony Columbia Records is fully prepared for his first tour in '93 due to a live music video, with a live audience handpicked from her fanbase and a front row arrangement of 'true' emotions young men and women. There are no guest performers in the entire concert, and no friends from the industry to join in, all the focus can only be on her.
"Aren't you worried about Motura? Your new monopoly is coming soon, which is earlier than I planned." Song Ya asked.
"I just want you." The woman in love is blind, she puts her hand down and wraps it around Song Ya's chest, "My athlete, have you rested yet?"
"hey-hey……"
Underestimate me? Song Ya smiled, but unfortunately there was a knock on the bedroom door at this time, "Aplus, Miss Kelly? Breakfast." It was Linda's voice.
"Come in." Song Ya replied.
The door was pushed open, and Linda and her female assistant each held a small dining table for the bed, and placed it in front of them after they sat up.
"Miss Kelly, it's time to go, rehearsal." Her female assistant said, "The makeup artist and stylist are waiting upstairs."
"Okay, soon."
She picked up her fork and began to concentrate on the small portion.
There was the sound of leather shoes hitting the floor outside the bedroom. It was very messy. It seemed that Old Mike was talking to her captain of the bodyguard, and they should also be waiting.
The sport had to be canceled, "We will win, right?" After eating, she got up and kissed Song Ya on the forehead.
"I will." Song Ya smiled and said, "I'll visit the class later."
"Well, wait for you."
She went back upstairs, and Linda looked out nervously, then came back and closed the bedroom door, "Do you know what you're doing, aplus." She asked as she cleared away the dishes.
"Didn't you see it all?"
Song Ya handed her the small table, "We want to be together and launch a rebellion to bring down Motura."
"My God, you're freaking me out," Linda complained. "Motura is not easy to mess with, no, he's the worst, and everyone in the record industry knows that."
"Don't be afraid of Linda, I have more money than him, and I have already prepared." Song Ya replied.
"It can't be calculated like this. Bill Gates has more money than Welch (General Electric CEO), but his influence is far less, and there are differences between rich people and rich people. For example, they are all worth billions. Some people only have the value of the stock, and if they actually sell it, they can’t get back a billion at all, let alone non-tradable shares. Some people have all the cash that can be called at any time, and some people not only have a billion themselves, but also command Mobilizing tens of billions of corporate and financial capital..."
Linda kept nagging, her experience and knowledge were much higher than Taraji's, Song Ya also listened silently, he knew that the other party's point of view was very reasonable, and after MJ did not participate in the rebellion, his chances of winning had also been greatly reduced , but not in front of others.
"Okay, okay, Linda..."
When she said enough, Song Ya raised her hand to stop, "I've already done it, ok? As you can see, I got involved with Mimi a long time ago, so now you should stop complaining and come up with more constructive ideas for me .”
"Do you have any weapons? Join her to force the palace? I'm afraid you will be slandered by Motura before there is any disturbance." Linda questioned.
"He tried this on me in 1991, and it didn't work," Song Ya said.
"What about now? He hasn't made a move yet, right?" Linda asked, "You, I know you are very strong and have almost no weaknesses to catch, but Mariah Carey has no weaknesses? Her unreliable sister... ..."
"You reminded me." Song Ya pointed at her,
"Very good, continue."
"Her brother?"
"I met her brother once, and he is a very normal person." Song Ya said: "She and her brother grew up with white mothers, so they are well educated."
"Wow, so you're discriminating against her black father?" Linda immediately put her arms around her and made a standard psychological guard posture.
"It's a fact. Look at the daughter raised by her father." Song Ya said.
"You must never say this publicly. Your base is still black, aplus." Linda said seriously, "Even if that is the truth."
"I have a lot of white fans. According to the statistics made by Yeremov not long ago, it is about half and half. The majority of those who buy my records are still white." Song Ya said.
"It's a matter of population ratio." Linda said: "Black people account for half of your fans with 10% of the population. Isn't it clear where your basic base is? American society is divided, and Italians support Italians, Irish people support Irish people, black people help each other, isn't it obvious in the Rodney King case?"
"Don't mention that alcoholic, he embarrassed the black community, and he was ashamed to sue the Los Angeles government afterwards. I heard that he received more than 8 million dollars in compensation from the public? Damn, how many houses were destroyed because of him, dozens of people died and injured. There are countless people." Song Ya said: "In the end, he retreated unscathed and made a lot of money."
"I heard that after he got the money, he opened a hip-hop music label in Los Angeles and entered the record industry," Linda said.
Song Ya sneered, "Look, believe me, he will squander the money in a short time, just like mc."
"So now you can mention mc?" Linda still has feelings for the old owner.
"Well, I apologize, I shouldn't have compared him to Rodney King."
Linda didn't struggle anymore, "In short, there are some things you must never say publicly."
"Of course I won't commit that kind of stupidity. In this way, I really should strengthen my basic base. Are there any affirmative action activities recently? You can help me arrange the schedule."
"The kid who died in Chicago was killed by gd, do you know?" Linda asked.
"Of course I know, that incident led to a massive enforcement sweep of public housing estates."
"The road where he died recently, the Chicago city government wants to name it after him, you can show your face and make a speech or something."
"Good idea, don't worry, I will definitely win. Motura has a fatal trick in my hands. Old Mike, show Linda the recording." Song Ya got up and began to wash.
When she came out, Linda had already finished listening to the tape, "Unexpectedly, Motura called the black man Negro in private." She circled the room excitedly, "Indeed, a good operation can make the management behind him Very embarrassing."
"I told you, don't be so nervous."
Song Ya wiped her body with a towel, "When do you think it will be best to play the recording?"
"As soon as possible, a fatal blow." Linda suddenly showed embarrassment: "However, Miss Kelly did not say anything about this word in the tape, and her reputation will suffer a major blow when the tape is released, and the black community will dislike it even more. her."
"I've considered this a long time ago. I won't let her get hurt, so the version that will be released will only be a cropped version." Song Ya said.
"That would have dealt a major blow to the credibility of the tape," Linda cautioned.
"This is a paradox. I launched a rebellion against Motura for mimi, but if the rebellion was at the price of hurting her, why would I do it?" Song Ya said: "This is a public relations battle, not going to court , the loss of credibility is nothing, as long as the operation is good, he will focus on publicizing his phrase "Negro Fat Boy in Harlem", so that everyone in Mimi will know it."
"Will the management be happy to see this scene? The managers they hired with high salaries are racially discriminatory." Linda asked.
"So I went to see the owner of the book in the afternoon and brought a copy of the tape with me," Song Ya said.
Linda stopped questioning and thought it would work well.
At noon, Hamlin called, "Aplus, the plaintiff's lawyer in the fluorescer case rejected my settlement proposal. He said he had gained a strong new supporter and he must sue us."
"Motura."
"It should be him."
