Chapter 112

On the way, song Ya's call to Michelle has been busy. It is estimated that she is also full of bags. She can only leave a message in the answering machine and wait for her to come back.

He called Mira again and told her not to go downstairs for the time being, so that she could communicate with her agent before deciding what to do next.

"Well, Mr. Donovan, what do you think?"

Co agent Donovan called in.

"Don't say anything to the reporters. Hayden has already made it. According to the latest information I got, it should be that the local KTLA TV station in Los Angeles released the first version after editing, deliberately creating conflicts between the ethnic groups and the police and people to gain interests. Now you have only two choices. One is to take a firm stand and continue to maintain the image of a pioneer of equal rights. Because the four major news stations that bought the first edition of KTLA video are also very embarrassed now, except for Cuu, the other three will not necessarily turn to it. Moreover, the black community has now been mobilized. This is a total outbreak of contradictions. It is not realistic for them to accept the theory of police officers' innocence. If you just shift the focus to beating and insist that the police officers' excessive enforcement of law can still occupy a moral advantage. "

Donovan said: "the second option is to carry out crisis public relations, and then keep a low profile and get out of this public opinion and media carnival. This option is relatively safe and I personally recommend it. In any case, do not express any words to support white police officers. It is suicide. "

"OK, thanks Donovan. I'll think about it first and keep in touch."

Arriving at Columbia Records headquarters, Sonya meets Walter, David Cole and Roberto clevier, as well as some publicity and legal personnel.

"What are you going to do? APLUS。 Now the black glue and CD production line in the factory has stopped, and money is losing every minute. You have to make a quick decision. According to our previous contract, the loss caused by you or a + record company shall be borne by you. " The Columbia record lawyer, who was in charge of signing the contract last time, was ruthlessly talking about money in the first sentence.

"I know, I know."

In Americana society, Walters and others are powerless. Their identity does not allow them to speak for song Ya's personal loss of money. It is enough for Walter to stop the production line at the first time. After all, the two sides are only cooperative relations, and song Ya is not a signed singer of Columbia's singing films.

"Feel it still" was released as a single

Robert clevier is Sonya's business partner, and his advice is more direct. "Yesterday was a good day, but now it's totally out of date. Especially your song is a little bit provocative. I personally suggest that we stop the production line immediately, destroy the discs that have been made, and incorporate this song into the future album. At that time, the storm must have passed. As long as we don't issue a single, we can make a strong single in an album with a low profile. "

"How much do I have to compensate you for this?" Song Ya asked.

"The black glue, CD and cover have been produced You have to pay for an hour of production line stoppage There are also liquidated damages for suspending the first batch of 100000 production contracts. " The other party gave a rough figure, about 150000 to 200000 yuan. The longer the production line stops, the more compensation will be made. Therefore, a decision should be made as soon as possible.

"I need to consult a broker and a lawyer first." For the time being, Songhua's mind is not too high-key, but there is no way to deal with his soul.

"That's for the moment." Propagandists and lawyers left in a hurry. They will be very busy today. There are many black singers in Columbia Records. Song Ya is not the only one who has rushed to the stage in the media Carnival these days. Of course, it is all his mother's embarrassment.

Taking advantage of the break-up, "where's Mr. motura?" Song Ya and Walter, who stayed in the meeting room, asked, "can he give me some advice?"

"Mr. motura is running propaganda with Miss Kelly." Robert clevell sighed. "Miss Kelly has her own trouble. He'll call back when the station finishes recording at about nine or ten o'clock."

After Grammy, doubts about Maria Kelly reached the peak. Other major record companies should be behind the scenes. Some true and false rumors have been spread. Motura is now busy helping to put out the fire.

"Will you wait for him?" Asked Walter.

"Wait, I can afford to pay for it." Song Ya sighs.

All three of them laughed. A hundred or two hundred thousand is definitely a small sum for the singers, and it may not be a large sum for them, the top songwriters and producers.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Michelle's call came back first.

"We've decided to stand firm. Can you keep up with us?" Michelle may have just held a meeting. As Donovan said, the black community has now been "put on the shelf". From the perspective of ethnic feelings, it is difficult to go back. "We will continue to support Rodney King and condemn the excessive law enforcement by the police."

"I haven't decided yet, and you know, Michelle, my choice involves multiple interests." Song Ya had to wait first.Michelle also said that she understood that, after all, the star had too many things to consider and could not always stick to the front line like her equal rights lawyer.

At 9:30, motura called back. "Aplus, I suggest you make a statement to the outside world through your broker or lawyer, and then deal with it in a low-key way. As a promising creator, there is no need to go to this table."

His words were very brief, but in a moment he convinced song ya that he had a bright future. Why go to the table to gamble? If we choose to continue to support Rodney King with high profile, we can say that the statement after the first edition of the video has been manipulated by the media. If there is a third edition video which is more unfavorable to Rodney King, will it not be because of a lousy guy in Los Angeles that his reputation will be completely lost?

"I've decided. I'll take the line off."

After consulting Goodman, he went to Walter and said, "let your lawyers come."

The discs that have been made will be destroyed by Columbia Records. Songya originally wanted to set up a warehouse in Chicago to store something. However, Goodman told him that if the discs that had not been released through regular channels were leaked out in private, he would have to pay again. He had to give up the idea.

"Due to aplus' personal reasons, a + decided to suspend the release of feel it still's single, and a + will compensate Sony Columbia It's seventeen thousand dollars. " Both parties sign the contract and song Ya hands each other a company check for a + records.

Later, Goodman in Chicago, holding the manuscript paper and using the logo of a + record company as the background, made a brief statement to reporters.

"Mr. aplus severely condemns irresponsible media for misleading the public Er He also expressed firm support for the behavior of black groups to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests. Mr. aplus's support for racial equality and anti violence movements has been consistent... "

He was very restrained in the flash, no wonder he did not want to appear in court, "but in view of the fact that it is difficult for the media to guarantee the authenticity of the news, he will suspend any comments on the Rodney King incident. At present, Mr. aplus will focus on the production of his first album and strive to present a new style and music element CD for the audience and fans... "

It's not appropriate for him to stay in a hotel any more. Now he is being watched by annoying reporters. In order not to give Mira the space to associate with tabloids, song Ya calls her and takes people back to Chicago all night. Even Hayden, who just arrived in New York, doesn't care.
