China Entertainment 2000

"Well, I don't know what happened yet, but I think you guys are making a fuss out of a molehill."

Faced with the fact that she was also involved in this "struggle", Mariah Carey, who was in Los Angeles to promote her company's artist platform, obviously didn't care. She even completely ignored the reminders of people around her and publicly took sides. The big boy who was willing to help him in his moment of crisis last year——

"Spike is the most wonderful man I've ever met, in terms of personality, talent, and sex appeal.

"Again, he's a kind man, a man you're very comfortable with, a real man.

"In my opinion, it is definitely worthy of praise that he was able to achieve the results he has achieved now despite the pressure of some people's forced interference. He is a hero, a hero who truly broke through racial discrimination. He deserves the world's recognition. All honors.”

After making it clear that she was siding with Zhou Yi, Mariah Carey finally did not forget to sneer at her ex-husband, a Sony executive: Tommy Mottola, the former president of Sony Music who was nicknamed the Old Goat.

The reporters present could be considered to be human beings. When they heard this, they immediately felt that there might be some important information in it. They all felt as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They wanted to put the microphone in her mouth on the spot——

"Maria, Maria, what do you mean by this?"

"Maria, you mean that Spike was suppressed, right?"

"Maria, you said that because you know who is secretly suppressing Spike, right?"

"Are you saying Tommy Mottola is behind this?!"

"..."

In mid-January 2003, Tommy Mottola, the European and American president of Sony Records who had dominated Sony Records for 14 years, resigned amid internal and external criticism due to the losses caused by various failures.

As the president of Sony who single-handedly made world divas such as Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, and Jennifer Lopez famous, and the man who made Sony Records the top spot in the international recording industry in the 1990s, This old goat's network of contacts and relationships in the industry is extremely terrifying, but at the same time, there are always quite anthropomorphic rumors about his personality.

A classic example of racial discrimination.

In 2001, Michael Jackson, the world's number one pop king under Sony Records, released a new album "Invincible", but it suffered a setback in terms of sales and reputation. This also made Michael Jackson count on the new album to win back a victory in public opinion. Michael Jackson was quite disappointed.

The former world number one seems to be really in trouble after entering the new century.

What’s even more exciting is that Michael Jackson, who has always had an external image of being a good gentleman, passionate about charity, and good at forbearing, and who was unwilling to criticize him afterwards even if he was publicly teased by MTV at the awards ceremony broadcast live around the world, after the failure of his album "Invincible", Michael Jackson A public attack on Sony President Tommy Mottola in front of the media——

Not only did he call him a "despicable guy", he even accused him by name of being a "racist" for the first time, blaming the failure of his new album on Tommy Mottola's obstruction.

It can be said that the two sides are completely at odds.

Mariah Carey's decline was also rumored to be related to her powerful ex-husband. According to legend, Tommy Mottola had explicitly requested that major radio stations in the United States not allow large-scale broadcast of Mariah Carey's songs.

In this era where the proportion of radio stations is still very important, this behavior can be said to have directly cost Mariah Carey half her life, causing her new album released in December 2002 to fall directly to the bottom. From then on, it is inevitable Slipping into the abyss of passing.

"Maria!"

"Maria! Maria, can you please answer our questions clearly!"

"Maria!"

"..."

Even though Tommy Mottola resigned in mid-January this year and resigned as president of Sony America, his connections and residual power are still there.

No matter how unhappy she is with her ex-husband, Mariah Carey would not dare to accuse him clearly of being the mastermind behind the so-called suppression of Zhou Yi without any evidence. That would lead to a lawsuit.

Being able to disgust her ex-husband as much as possible and help Zhou Yi feel pitiful is the limit of what Mariah Carey can do.

To be honest, when Zhou Yi contacted her in person before, she agreed immediately, and also made her own request - she also wanted to throw dirty water on her ex-husband.

Being able to become a world-class queen, Mariah Carey is naturally not a bad candidate.

If possible, I hope Zhou Yi can cooperate.

You must know that the core of Zhou Yi's cards played in the United States this year has always been closely related to the two aspects of "racial equality" and "racial discrimination", and Tommy Mottola was deeply involved in the racial discrimination controversy precisely because of Michael Jackson's accusations.

What's more coincidental is that Zhou Yi hooked up with Mariah Carey last year.

In this case, Tommy Mottola, who has always been extremely controlling, was unhappy with Zhou Yi, felt that he had hooked up with his ex-wife, and discriminated against him for being yellow and Chinese, thus suppressing Zhou Yi on radio and other data lists.

As for why Zhou Yi was able to win the Grammy despite being suppressed and discriminated against - that's because Tommy was forced to step down in mid-January!

The Grammys are held at the end of February!

Is this reasonable?

This makes sense.

Tommy Mottola is the president of Sony who has been publicly accused of racial discrimination by Michael Jackson. He is the president of Sony who has a strong desire to control Mariah Carey and forced her to choose divorce. The president of Sony who fights to the death——

And Zhou Yi happens to be the trump card promoted by Warner Records.

Everything came to a close when Mariah Carey was involved in this struggle.

The world queen’s simple words almost bluntly revealed why Zhou Yihui started to say that he encountered racial discrimination when he first came to the United States in February this year - it was all because of the president of Sony who was good at and liked racial discrimination. .

The injustice he suffered was truly unfair, not unjust.

If he were an ordinary person, he would probably have to accept his fate.

Even top celebrities like Michael Jackson and Mariah Carey were tortured to death by Tommy Mottola, and they were defeated one by one.

But Zhouyi didn't.

He has the courage to say no to all injustices, and he has the courage to say no to all unwritten rules;

He fought bravely and finally reaped the results - Tommy Mottola stepped down, and he lost the biggest resistance to reaching the top. Only then took advantage of the internal power transfer within Sony to win the Grammy and the Billboard singles. The song has three crowns.

Warner also temporarily whitewashed herself in this story, and Meimei turned around and became the conscience of American imperialism that supported Zhou Yi in fighting injustice to the end.

"We are not helping Spike just because he is our ace, but because he has indeed suffered injustice, which violates our long-standing moral code at Warner."

As if it was agreed upon, Zhou Jianhui, who has been active in Europe and the United States as the president of Warner Asia during this period, also stood up as an Asian and a Chinese, talking about the company's image and using him as The leading Grammy public relations behavior has become a necessary means to fight injustice——

"Music has no borders, and Spike deserves the respect he deserves. We at Warner have always regarded singers as our foundation and use music as a carrier to convey the equal freedom of everyone..."

Everyone in the Sony company was dumbfounded...

Not a buddy? !
