Chapter 829

'Just this paragraph? There is no context, nor is it said when the recording was made, it is inexplicable! '

‘The fact that there are so many people with similar voices doesn’t prove who said this, right? '

'Please pay attention! This California-based website belongs to a+ audio company, and it is not difficult for them to use technical means to adjust the voice of another person. '

'a+ audio company? Is it aplus business? That makes sense, he seems to have a bad relationship with Mr. Motura. '

The recording was played in the early morning. At the beginning, it was a discussion between anonymous whistleblowers and people eating melons, but in the morning, a large number of posts and comments biased towards Motura began to appear. It's been a while." Delay came over and said, "I just received some inquiries from the gossip tabloids, and it should be published in the media by the time of the evening papers."

"Are there only tabloids?" Song Ya asked.

"Only the tabloids. Of course, I can't grasp all of them. That recording was produced by the whistleblower and has nothing to do with our website, right?" DeLay snapped his fingers with a smile.

"Um."

Song Ya nodded, which shows that Motura has studied himself and his media influence in secret, and has prepared in advance on the American website, so the rapid fermentation of this matter in other large media is not optimistic. up. Motura had strong media control when he was the president of Sony Columbia Records. It seems that his tenure as the president of Sony Entertainment has declined a lot, but no one knows how much energy he still has.

"What did Daniel say? Could it really help him?" Delay asked.

"It's hard, Daniel will cooperate with me, but the position of president is not a child's play, and Sony's big change will not be affected by these small things." Song Ya replied.

"It's not a trivial matter, is it?" DeLay said, "blatant discrimination..."

"It's hard to say." If it broke out when I first got the recording, no matter whether I could achieve my goal of driving Motura away at that time, this matter would definitely cause a big problem, but...

After such a long time, Motula knew about the existence of this recording, and a strongman like him will inevitably make a lot of arrangements in order to eliminate the impact of discriminatory remarks on the day when he will tear his face again.

"Anyway, contact me anytime. I'll be leaving first. Bye, Linda, Mike." Delay patted his arm, greeted the other two people in the car, and pushed the door to get out of the car.

Song Ya watched him walk into the airport. After every concert, DeLay has to go back to Silicon Valley to handle business.

He did not come back from the rehearsal until the day before the end of the performance to assemble. His task was not heavy. He appeared in the two songs of remember the name and where is the love. During the singing, William Adams and others helped him paddle.

Old Mike drove the car back to Tribeca's home, "Go to sleep for a while, kid, you have to catch a flight to Los Angeles in the afternoon."

"Well, Linda will notify me immediately of important changes."

The record career was at a critical juncture again. Song Ya slept very lightly and woke up again at ten o'clock, "How is it?" He immediately called Linda into the bedroom to deal with Motura, and the black group could use it again. Do yourself a favor.

"Daniel is about to leave. The news of Motura's return to Sony Columbia Records has spread. Just now Estefan and Gloria called to inquire, as well as Roberto Clivell, nas and others ’” Linda reported.

Motura must have done it on purpose. As long as the news of the substitution didn't spread, Sony would still have a chance to turn around, and the one who didn't want to see this scene was Motura. This guy has grasped the key point, and whether Sony is willing to support it is the key.

"You should have woken me up."

Song Ya yawned. It's great to fight back quickly and decisively, but you can't win easily if you fight against a master. The opponent is not a fool, nor are the bystanders. Motura's return means that he has lost power. And Mariah Carey, there will be a large number of stakeholders affected, such as Newman and nas, Estefan and Shakira, and other artists under the a+ record label.

The final winner must be yourself, even if you can't win big, eh.

"They should still be on the sidelines, not in such a hurry." Linda also wanted the boss to sleep for a while.

Without going to wash up, Song Ya directly turned on the computer and logged on to the American music website. On the homepage of the gossip section, the posts that favored Motura overtly and secretly even had the upper hand. A recording with no beginning and no end is indeed easy to be criticized, and Opponents are more organized.

It seems that De Lay should be asked to keep more "passerby" accounts on his website, after all, it is not convenient for the website to end in person.

"Not waiting for the evening paper..."

The first heavy punch last night seemed to be resolved. Song Ya weighed it while brushing the post, feeling that it would not be good to procrastinate, and the social influence of the Internet is still a bit small these days, "You let Pierre do it Go over there and supervise them yourself."

"OK."

‘This station has obtained some new evidence about a certain bigwig in the entertainment industry. Here I want to ask Sony a question: Do you really want to sit back and watch the discriminatory remarks made by its executives? This is not the first time. '

The inner-city broadcaster New York Radio was in charge of launching the second round of attacks. Pierre Sutton, who had average management ability, was very active in this kind of thing. Song Ya sent Linda to supervise the incident and felt that it was a bit unnecessary.

After he got more recording evidence, he immediately arranged a strong radio program at noon to discuss this matter, and released the recording segment by segment. In the recording, Motura mentioned the record business several times, otherwise he could hear The head of Sony Columbia Records, serious news stations can be more credible than website reports, and the target audience is mainly black.

"Heart of Empire" is a local radio station in Manhattan, a highly credible black media, an executive of the American cultural industry branch of a multinational company, and one of the big names in the entertainment industry. Let it boil.

'The recording industry is already one of the most influential industries for us African-Americans, but it still can't stop the continuous, arrogant discrimination. I can cite a lot of examples. This is unacceptable, absolutely unacceptable! '

’ I’ve dealt with this Mr. Motura, quite a bit, you know, Sony Music used to be Columbia Records, it’s headquartered here, in Manhattan, I never thought they’d show their true colors as soon as they turned around and let me Felt back to the fifties. They haven't changed at all! '

‘A basic company still reuses executives who discriminate against us in the United States, which shows that they are the same as white people. It is said that Motura is even the manager of MJ! Was mj also deceived by this kind of person? It's time for him to listen to this recording carefully, the inner ghost is by his side! '

The radio guests, who were played by African-American cultural celebrities in Manhattan, were filled with righteous indignation, and there was no need to do more incitement. There were threats of protests, calls for serious handling, old scores, and everything from white people to cars and electronic products.

"That's right."

Even Song Ya didn't let them talk about MJ, they took the initiative to talk about the black light and the king of pop, at two o'clock in the afternoon, when I heard that other Manhattan radio stations also started talking about this matter, then the public opinion on the website followed Delay After arriving at the job in Silicon Valley, starting to supplement the recording passages and choosing a helper to fight back against Motura's accusations, Song Ya was in a much better mood. He put his hands behind his head and lay on the sofa, "Do you really think my media bought it for nothing? "

"Reporters started coming to Sony to confirm. The following is a very important moment to see if he and Sony will give in. Many of the reporters are from authoritative media." Linda came to report: "Charles called, she Back to South Africa."

"Oh? So fast?" Song Ya took the phone, "Charis."

"Aplus..."

The girl's attitude was much more relaxed than when she signed the cold document to give money last time. She asked with a soft cry, "Can you come and see me off? My mother is also here, and she is here to pick me up back to South Africa."

"Now?" Song Ya glanced at Linda, she was shaking her head slightly, "It should be inconvenient for Charis, I'm sorry."

"She wants to meet you." Charis said timidly, "There is no other meaning."

"Really not, now is an extraordinary period, we cannot be caught by the media."

Her mother once killed her husband with a single shot, and Song Ya didn't dare to bet on how she would react to the married nger who made her daughter pregnant, "I will send someone to take care of you, and so will your manager and I." I often visit South Africa."

"Oh." She should be very disappointed, and cried out on the spot, "Are you really not coming? My mother is very fierce to me..."

"After a while, wait for me to deal with the affairs of the United States and my family, please Charliss? After a while, I should be able to find an excuse to go to South Africa. I have business there, and I have equal rights and charity activities." Song Ya did not Good way, "Be strong, everything will be fine, just keep going."

"Okay, goodbye then, I'm leaving..." She hung up the phone helplessly.

"Bye, have a nice trip."

The girl seemed to be made by herself... Poor thing, Song Ya scratched her head, and her thoughts returned to her romantic debt, "I thought of one thing, even if Sony doesn't settle the record income for me early next year, my cash flow shouldn't show up. Question?"

"A+ Records has two more labels, Music World Entertainment and ro-a- Records, and it will also increase your exclusive dance troupe, backup singers and other manpower, and the regular expenses will be raised to a higher level."

Linda said: "Fergie is definitely going to make trouble again. Her daily life in Los Angeles is very luxurious. But we can easily get the loan, so it's not a big problem. A+ audio and inner city broadcasting companies will definitely have no profits at the end of the year, a+ The film studio, a+ wine industry and a+cn will continue to invest. The blade warrior will need at least 15 million. A+cn's free subscription next year plus promotional expenses will also be tens of millions. A+ wine industry will expand its production Add other products such as champagne. A+ Pedal Company and Louise reported profits, but not much, probably enough to balance the losses of other small businesses such as American music magazines. Only a+ clothing made more profits, but other shareholders wanted A lot is divided, Wal-Mart, Miss Kelly, Hayden, Song Asheng..."

"Yeah." Song Ya closed her eyes and thought about it. It's really not a big problem. Didn't she just not step on Motura to death, so she has maintained a very good financial discipline? "The new product line plan of a+ wine industry should be suspended. It is not French champagne that can only be called sparkling wine, and the United States does not recognize it. Focus on gray goose vodka and expand production. It is still the same, and the expansion funds come from a + clothing Transfer part of the income from the soft sister currency, let them both negotiate. The rest can be borrowed."

"There Seth has to quarrel with Scout again," said Linda.

"We quarrel every year, as long as there is a result in the quarrel."

"Well, I'm not your assistant anymore, Dr. Mei should be responsible for these matters..." Linda didn't want to meddle too much.

"Well, I called him back from 3dfx when I went to Los Angeles."

"Okay, let's go when you're ready. We still have to catch the flight. Daniel will call me soon, and I'm almost annoyed by him. It's quieter on the plane." Linda complained.

In the evening, the group arrived in Los Angeles with the tour group, and now they can temporarily live in the Malibu seaside villa. "After you get divorced next year, you will have to buy a new place to stay." Linda said.

"Don't worry about it." At worst, I will live with Xue Linfen, save some money, and won't be afraid of gossip after the divorce, "Daniel, what's the matter?" Just as the phone was turned on, Daniel's death ring rang again.

"Have you talked to anyone at Sony? Have they approached you?" Daniel asked.

"Didn't I just be on the plane Daniel?" Song Ya was a little helpless, "I don't know the latest situation either."

"The African-American radio station in Manhattan scolded all afternoon, but the mainstream media didn't respond. They were all pretending to be dead! They were all there! The news spread that I was leaving, and I couldn't mobilize the resources of Sony Columbia Records. , so we should make things bigger! For example, as a radio guest said, organize African-American groups to go downstairs to Sony Electronics to protest." Daniel came up with an idea hastily.

"I will, but not for protests or anything."

Song Ya frowned: "If I play too much, even if you can stay, it will be temporary. Even if Sony repents and refuses to let Motura come back, it will still find a chance to let you go in the future."

"I know, give me some more time!" Daniel said loudly.

"What does he want?" Song Ya asked Linda after hanging up the phone.

"Maybe want to learn what Guber and Peters did at Columbia Pictures."

On the contrary, Linda saw it more clearly, "Dig more for the capital of financial freedom for the rest of my life, maybe he is already taking action, after all, after Miss Kelly suddenly changed her attitude towards the copyright library transaction last time, his position is in jeopardy. It's just Sony's actions still exceeded expectations, and his early dismissal caused his plan to not be completed in time... There should be a limit to his support, boss."

"I know, I didn't intend to renew my contract with Sony Columbia Records, did I? My revenge is more for myself now."

Song Ya smiled wryly, his wife's decision had too much follow-up impact... In one word, stupid! It's still stupid to think about it now!

"Cassidy." Tarajina had another cell phone.

"I'm leaving, leaving Chicago." Kasiti was also depressed on the other end of the phone, "I'm leaving in a few days, where are you? Can you go back to Chicago and meet?"

"I'm in Los Angeles. It's inconvenient right now. The media is paying attention to me." Song Ya could only give the same answer to another Lin. He knew that Kasiti planned to return to the university campus. ?"

"Well, disbanding the organization early can save some money, and there are not many street activities to participate in in Chicago's winter..." Cassidy replied.

"Where are you going?"

"Alaska..."

"so far?"

"Didn't I say that I would go far away? And many universities have rejected my application." Cassie said.

"It's much colder there than in Chicago, Kasiti." Song Ya couldn't help but feel distressed, "It's not even the mainland of the United States."

"Hmm." She stopped talking.

"Maybe..." Song Ya took a breath, "I should arrange some activities in Alaska in the future."

She burst out laughing, "There are not many people there, and I don't like listening to nger singing."

Alaska is very white and conservative, and there is less pressure on the universities there to accept her than in the United States. "Then you have to take care of yourself in the past. The case in Chicago..."

"I asked Lawyer Tashawny, starting from next year, the pressure on my father will be much less." Kasiti is now very sensitive to politics, and Peter will immediately find a way to completely solve the hidden danger of the FBI detective being killed after taking office. Now, Vic has a chance to get a better end, and Peter won't be able to kill the FBI with the help of conventional means to solve the trouble.

"Yes."

"That's it? I'll call you when I get there."

"Okay, be careful all the way."

Charis, Kasiti... have all gone away, Song Ya sighed for a while, but it is not the time to calmly mourn the spring and autumn, "Daniel said that the mainstream media is silent, is it still like this?"

"Seems to be."

I just got off the plane and didn't know the situation. After returning to Malibu, after a nervous investigation, I can probably confirm that what Daniel said is true. Few of the tabloids who asked DeLay for news reported it when they returned. Some of them were all tofu. The article has no influence, and the mainstream TV stations and paper media are collectively silent. I don’t know if they want to wait for more definite news or they are covering up for Motura and Sony.

"Go on, I'm going full fire this time, calling Gordon."

a+cn has completed the first milestone node of cooperation with Comcast, and the performance is very poor. The 45-minute evening news in the next stage is still on the free station of the other party, and only 15 minutes of finance and economics have been expanded. news. It's a bit late now, and this hot spot time period can't catch up.

However, during the early hours of the morning when the 24-hour news station and ordinary stations are most different, Comcast gave a+cn a full six hours of time in another channel resource with lower ratings in his house. Anyway, that station There is nothing to play late at night.

What Gordon filled in were foreign news and talk shows, mainly talk shows, where the host and a few black guests could chat for hours with a piece of news and a picture, and occasionally they would open late-night shows Common yellow cavity. The situation is stronger than people, and Gordon, who is determined to do serious news, is also making a small compromise.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today's topic is discrimination in the recording industry. Let's listen to a recording first." After zero o'clock, the host said seriously to the camera.
