Chapter 785 Fly Away

In the early hours of the night, at the entrance of a hotel not far from the airport in New Jersey, Hayden paid for a taxi, got down and covered his face with his briefcase, walked quickly past the flashing lights and shouts of paparazzi, and was welcomed into the lobby by hotel security.

"The boss is waiting for you." The bodyguard guarding here led him into the elevator.

"Why do you live here?" Hayden looked at the elevator car. This hotel is not good, at least not for his boss.

"It was only when we arrived at the airport that the flight crew informed them that they were going on strike, protesting that they were flying too frequently recently," the bodyguard replied.

"Hehe, no one is flying a plane for our big star."

Hayden grumbled a little with a smile, walked outside the door of the hotel's penthouse suite, and greeted Mawota with a nod, then put on a straight face, and walked in lightly.

"There is no real loss to you if your song is placed in one of the independent library under the Sony Music Copyright Company, or in the new company after their merger with ATV, except that the management rights of the track are transferred to a different entity. It's just inside."

The light in the suite was a bit dim, and Song Ya was leaning on the sofa and listening to Newman's words, "It is beneficial in terms of economic interests. The larger the copyright library, the higher the licensing income, because..."

"I know these Newmans."

Song Ya took a sip of whiskey impatiently, "I thought you would come here to help me find a way to remedy it, instead of persuading me the other way around, you should understand how much this matter has hurt the alliance of me, you, Daniel and others. You are Mimi's manager, you should talk him down."

"I didn't persuade it, I didn't even know it beforehand, but it happened and we should move on."

Newman was also very helpless, "We can't look back. Mimi has expressed her position to Sony. Now even if she is persuaded to change her mind, Sony will no longer believe the rhetoric we made up with Daniel. Our Maginot line of defense has been broken. Well, the so-called remedy is probably to retreat as decently as possible. APLUS, don't make the situation worse because of the emotional dispute."

"Decent? That's me, all the singers under my A+ records, half of the copyright and track management rights of all songs released by Fergie, Common and others through Sony Columbia Records, as well as your Mimi and NAS, and Shakira's Follow our little singer."

Song Ya raised the volume, "In the future, we will have to pay MJ for singing our own songs, just like what happened to Paul McCartney."

"That's just nonsense. MJ's ATV and Sony Music Rights merger is just a very common capital operation. Didn't you take it very seriously? I remember you made a joke that if every major distribution company's If you buy one share of each stock, doesn't that mean that all singers have to pay you for singing their own songs?"

Newman persuaded with a smile: "Isn't it good to maintain that mentality? Learn from Paul McCartney, he is completely acceptable now, and every time he is asked a related question, he will in turn help clarify the relationship between him and MJ. There has never been any grievances in the past, and I even have the mood to make up a few jokes to laugh at myself."

"It's different, you know it's different from Newman." Song Ya shook her head, her gaze became a little deep, "Why can't the person making up jokes to laugh at himself be MJ?"

"ha!"

Newman shook his head and smiled wryly, "Anyway, don't be impulsive about APLUS, you got into the car and left without Mimi's hand in front of the paparazzi. It's already a big deal in Mimi. Now the entertainment news is talking about it. Let's deal with the immediate troubles first. Is it okay? Tomorrow, I will show off my love to Mimi in public, and then tell the media that last night was just a little dispute between husband and wife, and everything is over, which is good for both of you."

Hayden heard the words and walked towards the TV.

"Don't touch that thing Hayden, don't open it! I don't want to see it." Song Ya yelled at him.

Hayden puts his hands down in embarrassment and smiles apologetically.

"What have you been doing recently?" Song Ya asked.

"Uh, I flew to the Bahamas, didn't you confess that you want to renovate the house on the island?" Hayden rubbed his hands and confessed honestly: "That's a big project,

It costs a lot of money, the pier has to be refurbished in order to get the building materials onto the island, and the workers have to come from..."

"Shut up, you." Song Ya didn't want to listen to him anymore.

"Boss, Ms. Sloan is here." Linda opened the door and entered.

"I still have to persuade Mimi, you should do your work first, and don't be impulsive about APLUS." Newman ordered a few words to leave in a hurry.

"You shouldn't be calling Gordon and asking him to find a way to blow up some MJ material on A+CN."

After I fired Eli, apart from political affairs, all public relations affairs belonged to Ms. Sloan. This elite woman who kept a delicate appearance at all times put down her coat and bag and immediately went to work. "He is a very senior An American media person, working for you temporarily, he may not be loyal to you for the rest of his life and keep secrets for you. That is MJ, he will never help an African-American light to backstab another African-American light, you express to him If you go through this attitude, you have to take the risk that he will suddenly break the news or write it in some memoir or other book. Even ten or twenty years later, it may cause serious damage to your personal image. African-American groups are naturally Think you and MJ should stick together, white people... huh, just look at the joke."

"Unity? What did his lawyer just say to me about being a kid king! His way of being a kid king is to make my wife make a very stupid decision? He hurt me and my relationship with Mimi."

Song Ya waved her hand irritably, "I'm not the kind of person who will act as if nothing happened after being tricked. Gordon told me that MJ is facing a crisis now. He and his insurance company..."

During the stalemate negotiation between MJ's ATV and Sony Music Copyright Company, the reporter asked why MJ insisted that Sony must pay him a huge sum of hundreds of millions to balance the deal, and whether it was because the settlement of the 1993 case caused his cash flow Nervous, he responded that the settlement was a small amount and that his insurance company was willing to help pay.

This sentence immediately caused a lot of turmoil, because according to California law, insurance companies are not allowed to pay premiums for vicious cases committed by customers, otherwise they will face legal sanctions and huge fines. The company's executives quickly jumped out to clarify, saying that it was impossible to pay the money for MJ.

This matter has now evolved into the same Rashomon case as in the 1993 case. The insurance company said it did not pay, and MJ knew that he had made a slip of the tongue and did not make any response. They will lose more if the lawsuit is suspended, so some tabloids broke the news that the two parties reached a secret deal at that time.

This incident has not caused much trouble under the cover of the imminent sentencing of the Simpson case in October, but if he can really use the media to prompt the prosecution to intervene again, it will definitely be enough for revenge.

"So Gordon's willing to do it?" Ms. Sloan asked.

"He doesn't want to." Song Ya sighed, "You are right, he doesn't want to help me deal with another African-American light, I shouldn't have said that to him rashly."

"Even if he wants to, you can't operate through his media, that's too stupid."

Ms. Sloan said: "It's true that you are the boss of many media, but the people who work for you are real people, and you can't click the mouse in the game to respond to the sound. The more people you give orders to deal with MJ , It’s like distributing the knives, and one day they may turn around and give you a backstab after they switch jobs. I understand that you are very angry now, but the more you need a calm head at this time.”

"Two top African-American superstars must not come to this point, boss." Linda also persuaded, "Business is business, MJ overwhelmed you in business, if you retaliate against him viciously, it will break the bottom line , he is not bad, right? You also said before that he was absolutely innocent in the 1993 case, and he should not be treated like this by us."

Song Ya turned her face and looked out of the window without answering.

Inner City Broadcasting Company, A+CN...there are too many Ngers in their media, he thought to himself, including Linda, Gordon...

The Louise Report, American Music Magazine, and the website are basically run by white people, but first, the outside world knows that it is their own industry, and second, tabloids and new media have very little influence on government agencies, far less than inner-city radio. The company's big radio stations and the upcoming A+CN have credibility, and if they fail to achieve their goals, they will cause a commotion.

If you want to fight back against MJ, you must not go through them. Even if your reputation has suffered a major blow, and even though there are many malicious rumors about him among the black people at the bottom, MJ's fundamentals are still very stable and he is very strong. Unless he joins forces with the gang who dealt with him at that time, although I don't know whether there is a behind-the-scenes organization, Oprah should be involved...

But I also hate that woman...

Forget it, Ms. Sloan is right, the handle of the knife cannot be handed to that kind of person, even if she got some conclusive evidence of her fraudulent donation after injecting capital into the inner city broadcasting company, Song Ya shook her head and thought Get out.

"Is it impossible to recover the copyright merger between Sony and ATV?" Ms. Sloan asked.

Song Ya didn't speak with a sullen face, Linda nodded to her, "Just now we talked with Sony's Mr. Hirai on the phone, and he told us that we are close to reaching an agreement with MJ, and Sony's decision will not change. With the boss , Mimi, Fergie, NAS and others' copyrights, MJ made a major concession in balancing the amount of the transaction, and it was because of this money that Sony dragged him until now, and the sub-companies are having a hard time."

"Except that we are all very happy to see this deal come to fruition, MJ's wife, the committee behind Elvis Presley's daughter Lisa Presley, has long been looking forward to it, and there are many popular stars and veterans whose tracks are in the copyright library of both parties. Singer."

Hayden also joined in, "We separated the copyright and did not participate in the transaction, which caused the transaction to delay for a period of time. These people can understand it, but now, if we want to make the transaction dirty, then MJ is not the one who offends. "

Song Ya took a deep breath, her wife's move was too big, too hard and too sudden, "Leave this matter aside, who gave Mimi this idea? I have to find that person! Sandy Glenn?"

"Sandy Glenn is the one who got kicked out by MJ, does he have such kindness?" Linda asked.

"Maybe he's just looking forward to the boss fighting MJ?" Hayden said.

"Impossible. Miss Kelly is the wife of APLUS. The two may get back together again. Can Sandy Glenn continue to be Miss Kelly's manager?" Sloan said.

"Then let's eliminate them one by one. Mimi is not stupid at ordinary times, and she won't listen to the slander of people with ordinary relationships." Song Ya thought for a while, "Brenda?"

"It's even more impossible, Brenda has no brains, she can't think of it at all." Linda smiled.

"Why don't you pretend to be reconciled first, boss, and get the truth out of Mimi?" Several people found out those who were close to Mariah Carey and excluded them one by one, but they didn't think so. Hayden came up with an idea.

"And then? Turn around and start revenge and then divorce?" Linda glared at him, "That's too scumbag."

Song Ya was in a bad mood, and the atmosphere in the room was dignified. When it was almost dawn, Daniel called.

"Sorry APLUS, I lost my composure yesterday."

Daniel said in a desolate tone: "I talked to Mr. Schulhoff, the president of Sony Beimi overnight. The merger case is just like this. We can't do much. The headquarters has already decided. I believe they will sign with MJ soon. .”

"I see."

Song Ya chatted with him for a long time, and it was basically nonsense to keep each other warm. Daniel did not deny that Sony's trust crisis in him had deepened, but he felt that it could be maintained at present, and in turn persuaded Song Ya and Mariah Carey to make a public show Show affection, business is business, at least the two of them can't bring negative news to the stage during the sale of their new album.

"Boss, the captain woke up, and he agreed to go around." Linda reported.

"Are you going back to Chicago?" Ms. Sloan was a little surprised, "Not with your wife today..."

"Let everyone calm down for a while." Song Ya got up, "Linda, pack your things."

Shortly after his convoy left the hotel towards the airport, an extended Lincoln stopped outside the hotel.

Mariah Carey pouted in the car and refused to get out of the car. Newman beside her kept persuading: "Miss Kelly, bow your head and admit your mistake. APLUS was just angry last night. He will forgive you."

"I don't need his forgiveness, he...he's a playboy, an asshole, and treats me badly...the TV shows him repeatedly playing him throwing my hand away, I'm ashamed to death!"

She tidied her hair while cursing, "Now you want me to apologize to him!?"

"You can do it."

Brenda complained on the opposite side, "My album will be released early next year."

"You're thinking of yourself at a time like this!?" Mariah Carey glared at her.

"Haha..." Brenda pursed her lips and shook her head, "Yes, I was thinking about myself, and I don't know who portrayed the character based on me as a vicious bitch who suppressed newcomers in the movie! This account I haven't settled with you yet! I was good to you when you were not popular before, but when the tears of Xingmeng are released, I will become a bad person instead?"

"Uh... that's a movie, it's art, you need to consider the plot..."

Mariah Carey retorted weakly, "It's the director and screenwriter who want to do that, don't blame me. It's a big deal to bring you with me when the movie is announced, and I'll just clarify for you. Patty is still playing my mother in the movie." Well, my mother didn't complain about making her a black man..."

"Really? Oh, I see."

Sandy Glen put down the phone at this time, "Don't disturb the two ladies, APLUS has already left for the airport, and he seems to be planning to return to Chicago this morning."

Cause after all the partyinand smashinandcrashin

Andallthepandemoniumandallthemadness

And when you'

And you hope but the people never call you back

"That little bastard!"

Mariah Carey cried immediately, "I've never been willing to coax me so much..."

"Then we..." the driver asked back.

"What are you still doing in a daze, drive, let's go to the airport!" Mariah Carey clapped her hands heavily on the large seat.

The black car drove into the familiar tarmac. Mariah Carey ran out of the car and almost tripped over her high heels. She simply threw off her shoes and ran towards Song Ya's convoy with her skirt in spite of her crying makeup and the strong wind at the airport. , "What about others?" She asked the drivers who were smoking and chatting beside the car.

A driver pointed to the sky, and the beautiful Gulfstream plane was roaring towards the white clouds.
