Chicago 1990

Chapter 1448: Ordinary people's bottom line

‘Sony Columbia Records suddenly announced the cancellation of its global tour plan for the second half of the year, triggering large-scale protests from MJ fans...’

‘The company didn’t care about Wanfu’s invincibility. MJ told reporters that he complained that Sony Columbia Records President Rick Klubin was primarily responsible for the poor sales of the new album. ’

'MJ's sudden public bombardment of the company's senior management caused a major earthquake inside Sony Columbia Records and Epic Records. President Rick Rubin then responded that there was no such situation as MJ said. He vowed to prepare for the announcement of Wanfu. The invincible fleet has burned $25 million in publicity costs in just six months. Poor album sales and the suspension of the global tour plan are due to the September 11th Incident and the subsequent security issues. Ricklubin also admitted that there is not much confidence within the company in the box office of the tour. It is a combination of factors that led to the final result. ’

‘MJ’s personal lawyer Blanca then refuted Riclubin’s claim of 25 million. He believed that the production and distribution costs of the Wan Fu Mo Di album were deliberately overestimated. ’

'Rikrubin's claim of scolding Blanca is groundless. He argued that the high production cost was due to MJ's high and weird requirements for recording. We are ready to welcome the best of the artists from the production team at any time, including setting up a professional recording studio and a full set of recording team members in the underground parking garage of a luxurious villa... But in fact, MJ has never been there once. The company had to run to satisfy his quirks. ’

‘This earthquake has brought to the surface the internal contradictions of Sony Columbia Records. Riclubin, the helm of the outside world who is unanimously considered mediocre, has recently suffered from the lack of sales of MJ Wanfu’s albums as expected, and his internal and external difficulties. In five years, Sony Columbia Records has become the third largest record company from No. 1 in the industry. It completely missed the trend of youth pop and failed to win any local first-line star... Just as Blanca said, if the former president Motu Pulling alive, this will never happen. ’

The TV picture in the hotel shows Rikrupin leaving the Sony Columbia Record headquarters building in embarrassment. His iconic big beard is flying in the wind, protected by security personnel, and is squeezed away from reporters, not far away. It's MJ fans holding protest signs and shouting slogans neatly.

"Dismiss Riklubin! We want to tour! Dismiss Riklubin! We want to tour!"

Ricklubin glanced hurriedly at the protest crowd and got into the car.

Song Ya frowned when she saw this scene.

Hayden turned off the TV, holding his breath and waiting for his master's command.

"You climb the backstage window again?"

Song Ya spoke. He remembered that Hayden once saw MJ by climbing a window in the background.

"I..." Hayden lowered his head and looked at the big beer belly on his feet that had already blocked his view. "I doubt if I can do it... The global tour in the second half of the year was cancelled. We will also see the whereabouts of MJ, William Morris. I’m not sure, and having been your agent for so many years, I am now considered a relatively big goal. Too many people and the media can recognize me."

"Climbing the backstage window is just a metaphor for Hayden!"

Song Ya did not say anything and emphasized: "If you don't pass William Morris, don't tell anyone about this matter, and arrange for someone to do it with ease."

"Of course, of course...I will figure out a solution." Hayden had no choice but to agree.

"In any case, before speaking, make sure that there is no other person around MJ, and that his mental state is normal." Song Ya exhorted again.

"I try my best not to mess up."

"Never screw it up..."

"Yes."

At this time, the phone rang, and the caller's number was Riclubin's. Song Ya walked to the window to answer.

"Damn it! APLUS!"

Riclubin complained loudly: "Have you not told MJ that we are on his side?"

"Nonsense, there are people around MJ with epic records and David Geffen, and Blanca's position is also very confused. He himself...just like Motula said back then: Anyone who punctures a balloon will not be by his side. Staying for too long, even if it is right. He has been a king in the deep palace for too long, and even if he can accept a little bit of unpleasant advice, he will not force the new album to be released as scheduled after the outbreak of September 11th."

Song Ya had already seen through MJ, "You and I don't need to be betrayed by the helper in order to be good people, even if the other party is unintentional... that would be too wrong."

"That's right, but I'm so wronged right now! MJ sprinkled on me the anger of the cancelled tour and poor sales of new albums. Damn it! I've always treated him well..."

Riclubin said pitifully, "Now I don't know what to do, aren't you omnipotent APLUS? At least communicate with MJ before he gets angry at me."

"I told you, I have to find a chance! Rick, you suddenly became a saint with a flood of conscience, so you should have the consciousness to sacrifice yourself..." Song Ya laughed and teased him.

"You are a rich man, and you can still laugh... saints and sacrifices are not enough. I'm just an ordinary person with a slightly higher bottom line in this circle."

Riclubin replied in frustration: "That's okay, I'm going to take the opportunity to run away anyway, and I can be worthy of my conscience. The rest of the work is yours to APLUS."

"Wh...what's going on? You have to hold on for a while, hello!"

"Ah? What are you talking about? Your signal is not good! Are you in Silla, right? Too far...Hello!? APLUS? Hello!?" Riclubin yelled deliberately.

"Dududu..."

There was a busy tone on the other end of the phone.

"Huh! Really..." Song Ya shook his head helplessly at Hayden and smiled bitterly, "You and old Mike will fly back to the U.S. to get it done, and he will fully cooperate with you."

"Okay." Hayden led hurriedly to pack up with Old Mike, and then returned to say goodbye.

"Be clever Hayden, this time you must not expose us." Song Ya warned for the last time, and exchanged comprehensive glances with Old Mike at the same time.

"Don't worry, boss." Hayden and Old Mike left.

"Hey!"

Song Ya continued to meditate in the hotel room alone. If he followed the action plan that David Geffen and Harvey fudged before, then he would definitely sit back and watch MJ unlucky, because according to David Geffen and the others, it was nothing more than waiting for MJ's economy. The hidden danger broke out, and then he stood by and did not give MJ any financial help. The media under it also remained silent and did not speak to him.

Although it should not be as bankrupt as the tabloid rumors, but MJ did in order to keep half of the shares of Sony’s copyright library, in recent years, he has continued to follow Sony’s newly added song copyrights and new acquisitions in recent years. He now owes David Gefen, Sony, and banks have a lot of money, and the specific number is at least 200 million.

When MJ sold half of Sony's copyright library under the pressure of bankruptcy, he took the opportunity to buy back the copyright of the previous songs according to their agreement with David Geffen.

But it is obvious that David Geffen and the others have lied. Their real plan is a hundred times more vicious, and they are rushing to uncover the old scars of the MJ 1992 case, and the method is still planted and framed. The trap has been dug, which is impossible. It was a simple rush to let MJ go bankrupt.

After Riklubin’s conscience discovered that he had quietly turned back, Song Ya knew that David Geffen's so-called "buy back" copyright library was not true, and the word grabbing might be more accurate.

On the one hand, Song Ya considers himself to be a person with a bottom line, and disdains to do such insidious things with David Geffen and others. On the other hand, David Geffen and their plans may not be perfectly executed. MJ is in a certain Some places are still very shrewd and have the ability to counterattack. If you cooperate with them to do this, there is a risk of being exposed later. A black light and a white persecute another black light... This kind of material is too ruinous. .

The most important thing is that Song Ya smelled the familiar shadow of Motula from the plan that Riklubin told him when he dealt with him, and Motula was already dead, Howard Stringer, now I want to come, the shooting of the year. Howard Stringer is likely to know in advance, and there is even a certain probability that he is the boss behind the scenes, because Motura must be a top mine. He was able to command Motula back then, and he also holds the power to let Motula see hope. .

In the investigation of the FBI trio, the leaders of the trio Steve Hines and Howard Stringer also had an intersection. As the host of the FBI's law popularization column, Steve Hines served as the president of CBS at Howard Stringer. Shi had dealt with him.

If it weren't for Riclubin's backlash, David Geffen could not have told themselves that Howard Stringer was also involved in the plan for MJ, and it might even be the actual commander in chief.

There is also one of his most annoying people in this game: Oprah.

I wouldn't be involved in that kind of thing and get along with the enemies, and it's tantamount to handing out another handle for nothing.

So does David Geffen know the role and true intentions of Howard Stringer? After all, the close relationship between David Geffen and himself is well known in the industry, and Howard Stringer may have also deceived David Geffen.

"Hmm..." Song Ya groaned lightly.

Whether David Geffen knows it or not, he will definitely be furious if this plan is destroyed by himself, and the good relationship he has been doing for many years will also be destroyed. He and Harvey have also cooperated with him in extorting former Prime Minister Lazarenko of Ermao. Once, they were the kind of Hollywood scavengers who just replaced the new target with MJ.

MJ is unlucky, will it be his turn immediately next? I have much more money than MJ...

It was too much for granted that David and Harvey readily agreed. These media industry Jews are too powerful, and it is very dangerous and unnecessary to turn their faces with them.

This point can't be ignored, and a defensive heart is indispensable.

Anyway, follow his own heart first, Song Ya strengthened his conviction, and it was just this time that he could hide away and watch the development of things.

‘Earlier, Riclubin announced through his personal lawyer that he will be responsible for Sony Columbia Records’ business difficulties and internal disturbances in recent years, resign as President of Sony Columbia Records, and bid farewell to the record company that has served him for five years...’

‘Rikrubin’s friend told our reporter that he had been under pressure beyond the imagination of the outside world during this period and was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Now is the time to give himself a good vacation...’

On June 30, 2002, the good guy Rick Klubin slipped on the soles of his feet. The reporters and paparazzi rushed towards what they believed to be the winner: using a simple public opinion offensive to fire the company boss MJ in one fell swoop.

‘MJ! Do you have anything to say to Rikrupin? ’

Faced with a reporter’s question, MJ, who was holding his four-month-old son in his arms, smiled and said: “I am shocked by Rick’s choice. I don’t deny that I have had some unhappiness with him recently, but it’s just a work disagreement. In private, we are friends. My family and colleagues like him, and Rick is a good person. I wish him a quick recovery."

‘MJ! Is your global tour expected to resume in the second half of the year? Another reporter asked.

"I don't know, I'm working hard for it, I don't want to disappoint fans all over the world..." MJ can handle it with ease, "Anyway, I'm working hard, please don't give up hope."

"Sony executives are persuading Riklubin to change his mind. His move is probably to retreat to advance..."

Turning his face, just leaving the camera, his personal lawyer Blanca came to report: "Everything is not easy to say, we can't be careless."

"The new president candidate is very important to us, right? You start related activities as soon as possible to see if you can exert some influence on Sony. Some of our friends are also eligible to be considered by Sony, right?"

MJ’s thinking is very clear. Rick Rubin’s resignation caused his deterrence to skyrocket. The current situation is very favorable. As long as the global tour resumes in the second half of the year, the sales of Wanfu’s albums will be greatly improved. We need this expected income." He said to Blanca.

"I understand."

Blanca and other subordinates called and left the errand to do the errand. MJ carried his young son and walked into the mansion of Elizabeth Taylor, his long-forgotten friend Jade Po, under heavy protection.

"British paparazzi are still so annoying..." Elizabeth Taylor was reading the newspaper, and rumors such as the president of MJ Bullying Records were spreading in the UK.

The British tabloids always didn't wait to see him. MJ knew this well, and it didn't matter. He looked at the TV set in front of Elizabeth Taylor.

It's the MV of Shakira's hit single WheneverWherever.

"How did this girl do it? Her waist twisted like a water snake, so young..." Yupo noticed his gaze and said with some envy.

"Yeah."

Shakira’s new album released at the end of last year has become popular all over the world except for the United States. It is a rare and popular singer under Sony Columbia Records. In fact, Mi J doesn’t really like this colleague. It’s not that she has a relationship with APLUS. Mainly hate the Latin gang behind her.

But today I was in a good mood, so I smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Congratulations, you defeated Riklubin." Yu Po said again.

"I'm not that bad..." He would no longer conceal his little pride in front of his close friends, but he was embarrassed by this kind of pride, and he lowered his head and smiled.

"By the way, someone wants to see you inside." In Yupo's place, his subordinates will not surround him, but the personal bodyguards and the nanny and nurses who take care of his younger son are there.

"Go in and have a chat with them." Yupo pointed to a door of the room, "Hold the child for me."

"Who is it?" MJ asked in confusion.

"Go in. You guys, just wait outside..." Yupo pointed to the bodyguards and prevented them from following.

"Yo, MJ! Seriously, it's not easy to want to see you."

A familiar vigorous old black almost frightened the king of pop. At first he thought it was his bodyguard, but he seemed to be familiar, especially his voice.

"I seem to have heard of you..."

"Is my song right? I have collaborated with APLUS a lot of famous songs!"

Old Hei's boasting reminded him, "Oh, you are..."

"Al! Ha!"

Old Hei patted his chest to introduce himself, and then suddenly approached, "Someone asked me to tell you..."

Half an hour later, MJ walked out of the room with frowning brows. At this time, his subordinates came in and reported, "British director Martin Baschel is waiting for you at Dreamland. He wants to talk about the documentary "Life with Michael Jackson"."

"Tell him that I don't have time for the time being, and I'll make an appointment later." MJ replied.

"But Martin Baschel's documentary team has been waiting for a long time. The director introduced by Mr. Weinstein from UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is the most suitable in the industry." The subordinates said again.

"I don't have the energy to deal with the film crew now, you know." MJ took a deep look at this subordinate who had worked for David Geffenner. "For the time being, postpone it indefinitely. Just apologize to Harvey for me. ."

"Okay."

Silla, Song Ya, who is holding the microphone in his hand, is closing his eyes and resting. The silencer handed the phone over, "Who? David? What? Is something wrong?"

He estimated that he took the phone away and shouted: "The signal here is not good! Who resigned? Can't hear it! I'm going to go back and talk again? Yes! The World Cup closing ceremony! OK, hang up!"

Throwing the phone back to the silencer, he ran out of the stadium channel under the **** of the staff, waved his hands and rushed straight to the stage amidst the frenzied cheers of the audience, where he met with other local Silla singers and sang in unison: " Arirang, Arirang, ah, Lilang..."
