Chapter 986: Motura's Reaction
The hostess's exclamation was aimed at the guests who had gone, and she had to suppress her unhappiness and help the troublemakers who were carrying the shoulder straps up and scratching their heads and posing for the camera.
The two of them didn't pay attention to the big star who had fainted with their heads on the back of the sofa for the first time.
But the program director noticed, and he ordered the camera to zoom in on the focus and began to give a large close-up of the face.
Due to the angle of the camera, Song Ya's nostrils are right in the center of the picture, her eyes are closed, and her face is as peaceful as if she is taking a nap.
"Hey! Why are you reacting like this, APLUS......"
The female guest thought Song Ya was funny, and pushed him on the shoulder in Spanish.
Song Ya's head shook and tilted to the side.
"Not everyone likes to look at your big pair of ......"
The host just took the opportunity to be sarcastic, and only realized that something was wrong in the middle of the sentence, "APLUS? APLUS? She also came over and pushed a few handfuls, and then looked at the staff in the studio in horror and helplessness.
The camera suddenly shakes violently a few times, and a male staff member rushes into the frame.
Then the local TV station cut the broadcast to the hostess, "Uh, it seems that there was an accident, we are dealing with ......" The host said according to the director's instructions.
Singer APLUS suddenly fainted while participating in a talk show in Mexico the day before yesterday, and his spokesman told our reporter that it was only because of the drug reaction to treat the finger injury, that APLUS was in good health and has now fully recovered. ’
The spokesperson's words were later confirmed that APLUS's Mexico tour was still on time last night, and that he had given a great performance to the local fans, and that he seemed to have recovered from the drug reaction and that his condition was not affected. ’
CUU's news is accompanied by a short clip of Song Ya running around the concert and singing passionately.
"I'm fine, I'm fine......"
Later, the CUU reporter was allowed to have a brief interview after the concert, and Song Ya smiled like no one to show the camera the bandaged middle finger, "I was accidentally injured during the performance, and it may be a little infected, so I took some anti-inflammatory painkillers and other things before recording the show." So...... The doctor said that I might have a greater reaction to certain drugs than normal people due to physical reasons, and I was sleepy or something...... Anyway, it's fine, they changed the treatment plan for me, thank you for your concern......"
"You still have a concert in Mexico, right?"
"Yes, next weekend."
"Will it still go on as scheduled?"
"Of course!"
The CUU reporter didn't ask much in person, and in the next scene, he used the tour venue, Mexico City's Azteca Stadium as the background, and said to the camera sadly: "In recent years, some African-American singers with very good personal images, such as MJ, Whitney Houston, and of course, APLUS, have been more or less involved in drug abuse rumors......
'APLUS FAINTED MORE THAN ONCE IN PUBLIC, MAYBE WE REMEMBER THE SCENE WHEN HE FELL DOWN THE STAIRS BEFORE......
When the picture was given to Song Ya's apocalypse football stunner, the camera of the reporter who interviewed Harvey Weinstein accidentally photographed rolling down the high stairs all the way, and Harvey was miserable as a background board.
'Other rumors about his hospitalization...... ' the reporter continued to give examples.
"Hahaha!"
New York, the headquarters of Epic Records, a subsidiary of Sony Columbia Records, where Motura, the company's most important signing, has its own office in even the most depressed period, laughs and turns off the TV, "Mr. Stringer has just agreed to our plan, and John Cali will leave at the end of the year, in the name that he doesn't have the body and energy to support the management of film and record labels on both the East and West coasts." ”
"Will John Cali tweak the news?" Hollywood Eye, asked Anthony Pelicano.
"He's an old-school guy."
Motura replied, "He's upset, but he doesn't break the rules, and who would be stupid enough to bet on that sick worm now?" ”
“OK。” Anthony Pelicano smiled and got up, "This time ......"
"Give it your all, Anthony, again, if we don't do it first, the other politicians and the media won't really do anything. But on the other hand, that rampant kid has offended countless people in order to get money, and I believe that many of them will follow him and step on him. Now is the best opportunity, this year because of the tight capital chain, in addition to constantly selling Netscape stocks, he even borrowed high-interest rates from David Bowie's insiders who are friends with Pop......"
Motura said: "I know these Nger stars too well, boasting about what they are out, what investments, how to make money, and when they go bankrupt, everyone learns that they have lost their leggings!" ”
"You know who to contact and how to get in touch," he instructed. Anthony, we've been planning for a long time, every day, every night...... I want the most perfect revenge. ”
"I'm sure you'll soon taste the joy of victory."
Anthony Pelicano walked to the door: "You're going to be very, very busy during this time. ”
"My body is a hundred times better than that worm, haha!"
After Motura finished speaking, both of them laughed, "You can go and get busy too." I have to make it clear to the management and Mr. Stringer in this time who is the real king of the record industry. ”
"I have no doubt about that."
Anthony Pelicano pushed the door and went out.
"Welcome, welcome everyone......"
Then came several Sony Columbia Records and Epic Records executives, the so-called 'his people', who had not had a good time in the Daniel era, but the John Cali era had been restored to power one after another.
"Tommy, Tommy Motula, congratulations." These old ministers complimented, "Why don't you have a celebration party?" ”
"Wait until next year. Pour your own wine, we'll have to be busy. ”
Motura began to take over John Kali's work early, in fact, he was secretly involved in many decisions this year, such as Epic Records joining the competition for the Boyz II man group, "What does Boyz II man say? He asked.
"Well, they want to learn from APLUS and start their own record label, and that's gradually getting consensus within the group, and the company has to be located in their hometown of Philadelphia."
The executive of Epic Records, who was in charge of the matter, replied: "At the same time, the four of them don't want to give up their long-term relationship with the gold producer Babyface, so they will give LAFACE Records some shares, and we ...... There is only a contract to be issued, and you have to bid with other large companies. ”
"Whatever the cost, take them!"
Motura showed his usual vigor.
"Well, according to surveys, their kind of contemporary rhythm and blues is becoming less popular with fans, and now some of the white groups of teen pop are starting to become popular in Europe, as well as the fusion hip-hop of the APLUS kind." The executive hesitated.
"We need top boy bands and awards season darlings, which are the cornerstone and heritage of big companies, just like Barbra Streisand is to Sony Columbia Records."
Motura waved his hand dissatisfiedly, "Let's get us off to a good start next year, it's going to be big news in the industry." He took out Balotelli's profile from the drawer, "Sony Columbia Records immediately signed this newcomer, based on APLUS's personality, and comprehensively focused on packaging and building, a little more 'bandit', I want his first album next year to drop a shock bomb in the urban African American circle!" ”
“Bgod…… Looks good. ”
The executive looked at Balotelli's photo, "Playing gangster rap requires a buff opponent, and now the east and west coasts are ......"
"If you don't play with the West Coast, West Coast hip-hop will be over after the death row records don't work."
Motura made her own judgment, "Just pick the company's singers, NAS is a good candidate, Balotelli is from Brooklyn, NAS is from Queens, New York Civil War. It's good for both of them, we just sell records. ”
Newman, the manager of NAS, was not present, and the executives laughed knowingly, knowing that Motura was starting to take revenge on Daniel's 'legacy', an old friend of APLUS, and they were happy to see it.
"This Bgod...... Can you beat NAS? Someone asked worriedly.
"If he can't confront NAS head-on, it's no longer worth our resources, it's very simple."
Motura replied, "Of course, you should be a little more inclined to him in terms of resources. ”
"Understood." Pulling the bias within the company, all the people present are veterans.
"Mariah Carey......" someone mentioned.
"She doesn't care."
Motura didn't want to hear that woman's name, he still had half of the other party's managerial rights, and as the money printer of Sony Columbia Records, the favorite female singer of the United States, whether it was Sony Howard Stringer and John Cali, was not allowed to touch her for the time being, and the revenge would be avenged sooner or later, and he would smash things, scold, and swear like crazy when he thought of being betrayed by that woman...... But for now, it's about strategy.
"Where's Shakira?" Someone else asked, "She is a guest singer at an APLUS concert, they must have slept ......"
"It's the same. I'll have a good talk with Estéphine, we need the support of the Latin gang at the moment, oh yes, not only her, but also these Latino singers, all signed, we at Sony Columbia Records are going to create a Latin storm, this is my core strategy for the next few years, and the resources should be all tilted! ”
He took out several more singer resumes from the drawer, "Enrique, Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin, Tanlia...... "Whether they are popular or not, they are all Latinos."
"Wow, the stakes are huge."
"Yes, it's all about it, I believe in my own vision, what about you?" Motura looked at each other with a determined gaze.
"Of course."
"Your judgment has never been wrong."
"We believe in you, Tommy."
Executives are showing their loyalty.
"Okay, what good seedlings do you have in your hands? Let's decide together today. Motura was satisfied, and he half lay down in the boss's chair and began to share the benefits.
The power is back, this sign, that doesn't sign, this doesn't win, he has roughly read and heard the singers' resumes and singing samples submitted by the executives, and Ma Li made a judgment, more and more Mali, and his mood is getting better and better.
"This is a newcomer to Alista Records, who has not been renewed at the end of three years, and has been admitted to Columbia University before the age of sixteen. I think I can create it as a talented female creator, and I can sign it very cheaply. ”
An executive hands over a resume.
“Alicia Keys?” Motura saw the little girl in the photo and said, "Looks good, listen to it." ”
"Okay." The executive began to play the girl's singing demo.
"How could anyone listen to such an old-school rhythm bluesga soul music!"
Motura pouted in dissatisfaction as soon as she heard two sentences, and threw her resume directly into the trash, "Next!" ”
