Chapter 457 Conversation Outside Neverland
"MJ said that he lacks to be treated sincerely. In front of such emotional people, maybe I should give up saying those calculative words and choose to cry bitterly and beg for help."
On the way out of Neverland, Song Ya complained.
"Will you?" Donovan asked.
"Nonsense, of course I can't do it." Song Ya rolled her eyes.
The old Mike who was driving suddenly reported, "There is a car following behind."
The two people in the back seat turned their heads and looked through the rear window, "It's okay, it's Sandy Glenn's car." Donovan said.
"They're flashing lights, do you want to stop?" Old Mike asked.
The headlights of Sandy Glenn's car flickered, "Stop." Song Ya glanced ahead, just not far from the roadside guard post outside Neverland, "Stop there."
Old Mike pulled the car over at the sentry post.
"You're out Sandy." Donovan got out of the car with a smirk, and said to Sandy Glenn who got out of the back car: "I think Aplus made it very clear just now."
After seeing MJ, the disappointed Song Ya was very dissatisfied with Sandy Glenn's failure to help get support, so naturally she would not ask Mariah Carey's agent to him again.
"Congratulations, but I didn't come after Mariah Carey."
Sandy Glenn and Lee Phillips also got out of the car, "Mr. David Geffen is on the way ahead, I told him that you are also there, and he plans to talk to you first."
"Talking here?" Song Ya asked out of the car.
"That's it."
"Okay." In mid-July, the light in California was very strong. Fortunately, this private driveway was located on the edge of the Priest National Forest, and several people hid in the shade of the nearby trees.
"Aplus, what did you talk to MJ just now?" Sandy Glenn asked.
"Didn't he tell you? You are his manager." Song Ya asked back.
"Look, this is the problem." Sandy Glenn and Lee Phillips looked at each other with a worried look. Lee Phillips took out a delicate cigarette case and gestured for it. Everyone waved their hands, and he lit himself. I started to smoke.
The conversation was interrupted by such an interruption, and soon, a Rolls-Royce Phantom 6 drove up from the opposite direction, and David Geffen arrived, "Hey, Sandy, Lee, Donovan." The tycoon Wearing a Hawaiian shirt, it's like I'm on vacation.
"Aplus, how is the film preparation going?" He asked for words.
"Uh, it's hard to say. It's much more complicated than making records. I'm working hard." Song Ya shook hands with him.
"Haha, yes, I had the same experience as you back then." David Geffen tilted his head and motioned, "Come with me."
The two chatted while walking far away, "What will Motura do to you?" he asked.
"I don't know, our Mr. President always has a lot of imagination when he is behind the scenes." Song Ya humorously.
"Haha, I appreciate your mentality, keep it up." David Geffen smiled, "You pried her woman away."
"mimi is free."
"Yes, she's free, but everyone knows she's from Motura, and it'll embarrass him."
"Wow, your words are a bit discriminatory. Women are not anyone's property." Song Ya said.
"Okay, pretend I didn't say it." David Geffen's personal image is a pioneer of same-sex equality. Of course, this does not affect this two-way plug in Hollywood and the record industry.
"Sorry, I overreacted a bit."
"It's okay." David Geffen smiled and waved his hands, "So...you came to MJ for support, right?"
"Yes, I need support, maybe you can help me when I launch a rebellion." Song Ya said.
"We are willing to do anything that can make Sony Columbia Records unlucky." David Geffen did not deny that most of his business is in cooperation with Universal, including Universal Pictures and MCA Records, "but we must not make MJ Hurt."
"I understand, he and I are friends, and besides, I still need his help." Song Ya nodded, "He is the king of pop, and I'm just a rookie singer who just released a single.
"
"Ha! Newcomer singer..." David Geffen gave a short laugh, "Maybe we have a chance to work together when you look for your next job. Remember, the door of Geffen Records is always open to you."
"Thank you, Mr. Geffen." Song Ya heard that the other party was not optimistic about the rebellion he launched, but he still didn't want to reveal the tape. This kind of boss is an absolutely uncontrollable factor.
"You don't like men's, do you?" David Geffen turned back to the car.
"Of course." Song Ya followed him.
"That's good, no one likes to pry their own woman and plan to overthrow their subordinates, and I have no scruples in this regard." David Geffen blinked at him, "Maybe you will find yourself There are not many choices.”
"Maybe."
Song Ya smiled bitterly. The other party was not very polite today, but what he said was not unreasonable. If he failed the rebellion and was kicked out of Sony Columbia Records, it would be hard for the other five major record companies to accept such a thorn in his side.
"OK, that's it."
David Geffen patted him on the shoulder, sat back in the Rolls-Royce, and went to Neverland with Sandy Glenn.
"Donovan."
Song Ya was not in a hurry to get into the car, looked at the taillights of the two cars and asked: "Just now MJ was inside and told me that he was tired of people always saying things like win-win in front of him, David Geffen was mentioned among them With the example of Madonna, do you have any explanations? MJ doesn't seem to trust him very much."
"He and Madonna?"
Donovan thought for a while, "Madonna has her own record company under Warner, and she often helps Warner recruit singers. David Geffen is similar. After he sold Geffen Records to Universal's MCA, he also has interests in MCA Records. So both have an incentive to try and lure the King of Pop to their side."
"Sony gave mj such a big contract, and the liquidated damages must be sky-high. Others can't dig it?" Song Ya asked.
"Who knows, David Geffen helped MJ get rid of former manager Dirio and marginalized lawyer Blanca. In return, he gave MCA the right to manage Beimi's tracks in the ATV copyright library, which used to belong to EMI .”
Donovan recalled: "MJ also forced Sony to get rid of the former Columbia Records president, the homophobic Yetnikov, so Sony chose Motura. To a certain extent, Motura is David Gerard A direct beneficiary of Finn's and Yetnikov's feud."
"They shouldn't be friends, right? David Geffen was watching the theater when I was fighting Motura in 1991, and he taught me a lot." Song Ya asked.
"Friends? Hehe, friends don't matter in front of interests. He has interests in MJ, but not in Sony Columbia Records." Donovan replied: "Of course, I don't know how they do it in private. It's hard to say. .He controls his business very well, and the distribution of benefits is extremely complicated and delicate, like a cloud of fog, no one can clearly explain how this huge empire works."
"In short, David Geffen is his ally, right?" Song Ya asked again.
"But you saw it just now. Several friends of David Geffen, Sandy Glenn, Lee Phillips and Bott Fields were all shut out, leaving only the shallower and more detached Aaron Grubman," Donovan said.
"Political balance technique ah?"
"Anyway, I think the honeymoon period between MJ and David Geffen should be over. They will not let the people around them be friends of another industry tycoon." Donovan said: "MJ has a clear ideal, he To build his own record empire, he is willing to get rid of everyone who tries to control him, Dilio, Quincy Jones, and now it's David Geffen's turn."
"fxxk, in this case he won't help me deal with Motura." Song Ya scolded.
"What are you going to do?" Donovan asked, "We William Morris are on your side in this rebellion. If you fail, many of the singers under my manager may also be liquidated by Sony Columbia Records." , Massaging Tula's character can definitely be done."
"Don't worry, I will renew your contract with you next year. Mariah Carey's agent can also discuss with you, and I will also provide support."
Song Ya comforted him.
At this time, the phone rang, and it was Gao Shu, "Come to the headquarters, Mr. Schulhoff wants to see you."
