Chapter 888 I Didn't Do What That Person Can Do
The experience was not good, very bad, and the end of the show was the most difficult time. Mariah Carey was invited to have a review with the Boyz II man quartet not far away and the people from Motown Records, and Song Ya was full of thoughts. It's a matter of running tickets.
"Go back and talk about it."
Newman pressed his shoulder in reassurance, and then joined Mariah Carey's group after Boyz II man's Sean Stockman angrily shoved the president of Motown Records, formerly Uptown Records. President Harrell gave it a hand.
Mariah Carey won six nominations, and two of them belonged to One Sweet Day, which they collaborated with. Forget about the annual song that passed the grand prize, and didn't get a prize like the best pop vocal collaboration? Motown Records, the joint awarding party, is to blame! Sean Stockman naturally wants to vent his grievances to the company president Harrell.
As the groundbreaking and most popular rhythm and blues group C, he has become more and more competitive and face-saving in recent years, because Whitney Houston's I'll Always Love You broke their End of Road's consecutive B-list record, he Vowed to take back the throne, so there is this strong alliance between cross-company and Mariah Carey who is also favored by the B list. The song "One Sweet Day" is about to set a new record, so professional honors are also indispensable.
They and Mariah Carey prepared and rehearsed the opening performance very seriously. They gave the organizers enough respect in all aspects and spent the most energy on public relations awards. Now it's nothing? How can I accept it.
People were coming and going after the show, and the live TV broadcast must have ended. Song Yadi's instinct was to show his indifference to the outside world. He got up, unbuttoned his dress pretending to be relaxed, smiled with the corners of his mouth up and looked up. People, try to find a friend or two to chat with before talking.
But... today is a bit different. Other celebrities are avoiding eye contact with themselves. Some people walk past with their heads down and smiling, as if they can't wait to go a little farther away, so that they can have a joke about the couple. Some guys with a good relationship clearly wanted to observe their own reactions, but after meeting their own eyes, they nodded and smiled embarrassedly, and turned their faces away.
A sense of embarrassment and isolation that is hard to appreciate...
Song Ya even had the cowardly thought of fleeing the scene for a moment.
Fortunately, the annoying Russell Simmons didn't come this time, otherwise, if the old guy came here and said something weird, I'm afraid I would really be unbearable and lose my temper on the spot.
After about two or three minutes,
The kind BABYFACE came to the rescue. He won the honor of best producer this year as he wished. "What accident happened?" He took the initiative to pat Song Ya on the back and asked.
"I don't know, some votes should have been lost."
Song Ya suddenly felt the pressure on his shoulders lighten. He really couldn't figure it out. He teamed up with Mariah Carey and Motown Records, which is very influential in the black judge group. It is almost impossible to escape the black vote. This lineup wants to get A small Grammy or two is solid, not to mention Sony Columbia Records and Polygram behind both sides.
Even if the relationship between Polygram and me is extremely bad, it is no problem to maintain a tacit understanding on the issue of interests related to record sales. Besides, I still have strong allies such as Dre, BABYFACE, Shirley Fleming, etc. Polygram All kinds of factors, such as enemies such as Motura, Quincy Jones, and their competitors in the recording industry, have long been considered. No matter how the couple is calculated, it is impossible for the couple to make a total of nine points.
That is, some allies have quietly betrayed the water, who is it? You must find out, it is normal for the enemy to oppose you, and it is even more abominable to eat the inside out! It must be caught out as an example to others!
He looked at Shirley Fleming. The old lady was socializing in the classical music circle. No, it couldn't be her. Her position as the editor-in-chief of the American Music Magazine could be easily dismissed by him. But... not necessarily, anything can happen in the entertainment industry.
"I did my best anyway."
BABYFACE sensed that the young and vigorous urban legend's face was cloudy and uncertain, and his gaze gradually became fierce, so he quickly put himself aside.
"Oh, sure, I'll keep that in mind anyway, thanks."
Song Ya reacted, quickly concealed her emotions, and shook hands with each other affectionately.
"Well, let's go first, let's talk after leaving here." BABYFACE reminded.
"Okay, Mimi..."
Song Ya went to Mariah Carey's side to rescue Motown President Harrell and Newman, and was shown in public by her top singer. For them... it should be a bad experience, "Let's go, let's go backstage first Say it again."
"What are you worried about? Do you think I will go backstage weakly like MJ and wipe away tears?"
Mariah Carey is very strong at the moment, he shook off the man's hand impatiently, "Don't bother me. I prepared seven sets of clothes, and it turned out... You told me that everything is under control!" The latter sentence seemed to be Looking at Newman to express doubts, but it should also be said to himself.
"SHXT!"
Sean Stockman seemed to have completely broken up with Harrell, "It's time for us to clarify everything, this year!" He seemed to threaten to terminate the contract, and then cursed in the combination of other The coaxing of the three pulled them down the stage.
Harrell turned around with a livid face and walked towards the exit of the theater silently.
"Don't accept interviews later, everyone is very emotional now." Newman was afraid that the two would say the wrong thing outside, "Get a good night's rest first."
"I don't care about anything anymore, damn Grammy, never again!"
Mariah Carey was half-pushed by Newman back to the exclusive lounge for the two of them. With the help of Sandy Glenn, the female assistant was hurriedly collecting the remaining four haute couture evening gowns that had no chance to wear them from the mobile hanger, and randomly stuffed them into the In her Chanel suitcase, the rest of the staff were silent as well.
"M-Fxxk!"
She did not cry, she cursed in a black accent, took off the white ribbon around her neck and threw it on the ground, "We have been tricked! I, you...Alexander Song." She directly used the full expression of alienation Name call, got into the locker room.
"I know I know."
Song Ya gave orders to Linda, Hayden and other men who followed in, "I want to know who ran the ticket, as quickly as possible!"
"Okay." Linda, Hayden, and Taraji started talking on the phone.
"Esteffen, call Estefan, his wife Gloria won the Latin category."
After thinking about it, the Latin gang at Sony Columbia Records is the most suspicious. After Shakira's contract changed hands, his and Estefan's interests have been decoupled, and they are prosperous this year.
"No, Mr. John Carley, acting president, and I will not allow this to happen," Newman said.
"Hehe." Song Ya sneered.
"Why don't you reflect on yourself first?" Mariah Carey poked her head out from the dressing room, "Sean Stockman said something right just now, that treason case is likely to be rejected by the silent majority of the judges. You, can you find the reason from yourself first?"
"Ha! So you mean that you were implicated by me today?" Song Ya didn't expect her to pin the blame on herself, "I paid for your award this year..."
"I don't want to quarrel with you!" She shrank her head back.
"So who is the first to blame things this time!?"
"Let's not say a few words!" Newman raised his forehead.
"Newman, take me to the celebration party, Estefan and his wife must be there." Originally, the celebration party was mainly reserved for himself and her, but now it's all yellow.
"What are you doing there? Another public execution!?" she shouted in the locker room.
"I'll go alone!"
The more this happened, the more paranoid Song Ya became and the more vigorous his fighting spirit was, he slammed the door and went out, and it was useless for Newman or whoever followed behind to persuade him.
There are a lot of artists under Sony Columbia Records, and the only ones who made the nine mentions are the husband and wife. The annual celebration party cannot be canceled temporarily, and it is still held normally in a nearby hotel. Except for the award winners and other first-line stars who will be interviewed at the Holy Grand Theater, those starlets, managers, songwriters, arrangers, producers and various staff who can't appear in the Holy Grand Theater have long been there. Drinking and socializing.
"Did you see Mariah Carey's face in front of the live camera? Haha, it's so funny."
"I don't even have the basic demeanor, making the scene ugly, but APLUS is much more mature than her, she seems to be several years younger!"
"Six mentions zero, APLUS three mentions zero, a pair of unlucky ones!"
"Ha ha!"
Almost everyone was talking about the live broadcast of the awards ceremony just now. Those young singers must wish that the two superstars of the company would fall. Song Ya straightened her back and walked through countless gossips, turning a deaf ear to them. His arrival was early, no, maybe these people didn't expect him to be there at all, and the party scene that was still noisy just now gradually quieted down.
When he walked to the buffet table, everyone was watching him, and the huge banquet hall could hear a needle drop.
"What's the matter? Everyone?"
He casually picked up a cherries wrapped in sweet and sour icing and put it into his mouth, sucked off the small handle, while chewing, he looked around with a smile on his face, damn it, he frowned, his playful eyes revealed domineering Zhang Zhang's face flitted across, pretending to notice the strangeness in the atmosphere only now.
With a buzzing sound, these people turned their faces away to avoid eye contact, and continued to talk. The topic... naturally had to be changed.
"Gloria, congratulations on your award, Mr. Estefan... Wow, and little Shakira, you're here too? I didn't see you in the theater just now."
Song Ya stayed at the place observing the entrance from the side, chatting with Newman and Linda, who were not at ease and worried, until a large group of Latin gangs arrived, surrounded by Estefan and Gloria.
Grabbing a glass of wine, he went up to meet him head-on, scratched Shakira's nose in an old-fashioned way, and successfully got a supercilious look, "This is An Likui, right?" He stretched out his hand to a very handsome Latin-style man beside her.
"Yes, it's a great honor to meet you, APLUS." Enrique was born in a singing family and is personable. His father, Julio Iglesias, the king of Latin love songs, was also nominated this year, but he was not present in person.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, so you are already colleagues?" Song Ya pointed at Shakira and asked him.
"Yes, we are now both Fonovisa Records and Sony Columbia Records jointly owned artists." Enrique replied.
"I know that Fonovisa Records belongs to Televisa, the second largest media group in Mexico, right?"
"Yes."
Chatting with them for nothing, Estefan guessed his purpose, "APLUS, chat alone?"
"I have had this intention for a long time."
The two walked to a remote place, "You don't have to doubt me APLUS at all, I have definitely fulfilled the previous agreement." Estefan promised directly.
"You know my character, Mr. Estefan, I have a small mind." Song Ya raised his wine glass to him.
"Today is not a good day for you and your wife. You are in a bad mood, I understand, but please don't be suspicious, otherwise something that neither you nor I would like to see may happen." Estefan is not easily threatened the Lord.
"I'll find out."
The two broke up unhappy, but they shouldn't be the ones who stabbed in the back, at least Song Ya's intuition was so from Estefan's reaction.
He uses the method of elimination, and he will always find it.
"APLUS, give Rick Rubin a call," Shirley Fleming called midway.
"Why didn't he call me directly?" Song Ya was a little surprised. He had always had a close relationship with the owner of Warner's label Def American Records, and he didn't need to send messages through Shirley Fleming.
"Call him." Shirley Fleming did not explain.
"Hey! Rick? Why didn't you come to the scene? You saw the awards ceremony live on TV, right? It's really embarrassing. I let you watch a joke this year..." Song Ya asked Linda to call the other party.
"It's me." Rick Rubin, who has always been out of shape, said seriously on the other end of the phone: "I heard that you were 'solving the case' at Sony Columbia Records' celebration party? Don't look for it, it's me."
"you?"
Song Ya was stunned, "No... why? I think the friendship between us has always been..."
"You take me for an idiot, APLUS."
Rick Rubin said: "You took advantage of my ignorance of the Internet business and took the age-old magazine title and the Internet rights to old articles from our shared American Music Magazine, remember? For a small price Well, a traditional paper matchmaker like Shirley Fleming can ignore it, but I can’t, when Netscape went public and mentioned this, my friends all laughed at me for being tricked by you, I’m a complete idiot!”
"Can……"
Song Ya opened her mouth, and never expected that it was Rick Rubin who betrayed him. He didn't even include the other party in the 'list of suspects' before, "But the American music website hasn't made me any money now. , and a lot of them were posted upside down, and Netscape was not listed when we traded, who knew that Internet stocks would skyrocket?"
"Still pretending to be stupid, don't think I don't know what happens when a website with some traffic goes public!"
Rick Rubin scolded angrily, this should be a general outburst of grievances, "You are still fooling me, you say you don't know!? Who would believe it? What Negroponte's digital survival set in front of the camera! You I have done deep research on the Internet industry for a long time!"
"That's what Jim Clark forced me to memorize by rote, saying that it's good for the company to go public..."
Song Ya wanted to cry without tears, and was really wronged, "Hey, let me say, Rick, listen to me, we have always had a good relationship, even if there is any misunderstanding, you can explain it openly and honestly, I believe we can talk about anything, there is no need Use this bad practice of surprise attack?"
"Can't you feel it yourself? You are getting more and more arrogant. I need to make an appointment to see you, M-Fxxk! Is it the 300th richest person in the whole meter? If so, you and your woman accept that I am in the record industry lesson!"
Rick Rubin hung up the phone with a bang.
Song Ya returned the phone to Linda with a complicated expression, Rick Rubin and Warner he belonged to, the rock circle and even Madonna under Warner... plus Motura, Quincy Jones and other enemies and competitors, said Maybe it's really like Sean Stockman said that his treason case also affected some Grammy judges, so nine mentions and zero...
It's a bit reasonable.
Before Daniel resigned, he warned himself not to be too arrogant with his old friends, and he tried his best to maintain those old relationships as he said, but he didn't expect to mention Rick Rubin! Really.
"We have to look forward to APLUS, and tonight is over."
Newman persuaded: "In short, all this has become history and is irreversible."
I know you so well, so well
i know you so well
I mean, I can do anything that he can
I mean, I can do anything he can too...
"Mimi will definitely divorce me."
Song Ya knew that he was afraid that he would do irrational things impulsively, but now his desire for revenge suddenly faded a lot, and the song of the apocalypse when he expressed his attitude to her once again lingered in his mind, which was short, melancholy, low To be honest, I didn’t even intend to include the song I know you so well in the release plan, and a deep sadness suddenly came to my heart, “I didn’t do what that person could do for her, the relationship between me and Mimi The foundation is gone, we're done..."
