Rebirth of the Evil Life

297 Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety-Six The King of Pop's War

The Japanese season will officially end on December 1, 2019. The team that most frequently changes and surprises fans the most is undoubtedly the Houston Rockets.

First, trade away All-Star guard Francis in exchange for next year's almost certain lottery team, the Cleveland Cavaliers' first-round pick, and Witch rookie Boozer, and then trade for a first-round pick from the Detroit Pistons next year, and then use the team's blue-collar center card In exchange for "the twilight years." The "big dream" Olajuwon, who was also injured, was attacked by the media as "stupid. Idiot." The combination of Jordan "The Bug" Rodman and the signing of Billups as a free agent is breathtaking.

Although Jordan is old, he is still the most popular superstar superstar at present, and he has cooperated with "Dream", one of the best centers in the era, and with Rodman's assistance, he even made a bet with the media before the season. Threatening that the Houston Rockets will enter the playoffs this season and attack the championship, these rhetoric have aroused the expectations of all fans.

In particular, the Houston Rockets also signed Yao Ming, the first foreign champion in history, from China. It also makes people look forward to what kind of performance this tall and flying center will have. In particular, many media have received news from internal employees of the Houston Rockets. Yao Ming received a personal pass from Rodman and Olajuwon. "Fantasy Footsteps" has seven points of heat from Rodman and Olajuwon.

A tall center forward. Possess Rodman's rebound prediction ability plus Olajuwon's "dream footsteps". Plus the unique soft touch of Chinese players. How scary would such a center be?

Zhao’s president, Stern, is definitely a person who is good at grasping hot spots in the market. Otherwise, Zhao would not have grown from a small league that was about to close down to one of the most popular sports in the world today, second only to football, and even more popular than football in some countries. . Therefore, Stern's very ingenious arrangement still opened the season in the Houston Rockets' newly established arena. The Houston Rockets challenged the Los Angeles Lakers, who won three consecutive championships.

Jordan to Kobe Olajuwon ten Yao Ming to O'Neal.

Known as the person closest to Jordan, Jordan is still in the league. Challenge Jordan again. Now Peng is the scariest and even the scariest super center in history to challenge the former seat center forward and the future "seat center forward." This opening game is full of gimmicks.

Such an important opening game, as the owner of the team and Lin Feng, who actually manipulated the transfer of the Houston Rockets in the summer, naturally cannot be absent. The moment Lin Feng got Dawson's phone call, he immediately arranged everything in the country and set off for the United States in his "Wing of the Wind".

Originally, Lin Feng hoped to bring Li Zhiyou and others to watch the opening match, but the crew of "The Legend of Condor Heroes" filmed the scenes of Li Zhiyou and others, and Lin Feng will definitely meet Avril when he goes to the United States. Li Zhiyou, who opened it, gave up.

Lin Feng could only feel helpless about this. But this kind of thing can't be rushed.

After bidding farewell to Li Zhiyou, Lin Feng took Lin Chiling to Luoxiguan. Originally, Lin Feng was going to fly directly to the Houston Rockets, but before leaving, he received a call from Marceline to fly to Luoyang, saying that he had a surprise for Lin Feng.

Lin Feng originally wanted to ask what the surprise was, but the eccentric Avril just said mysteriously that this gift would definitely surprise Feng Feng, and refused to say anything else. Lin Feng could only suppress his curiosity and enjoy the comfortable direct flight of the special plane. Lost love.

A few hours later, Lin Feng arrived in Luoyang after the old moon rose and the sun rose.

"Hi. Lin. This way!" Marceline rushed over after detecting the private airport passage.

"Avril. You seem to be a little thinner again." Lin Feng hugged Avril who rushed over and hurt

Avril smiled and looked at Lin Chiling behind Lin Feng. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and then he turned away Lin Feng. Walked straight over, looked up and down, Lin Chiling snorted, "You are beautiful. You have a good figure, and many Western women can't match you, which makes me jealous. But Lin is not yours, she is mine."

Lin Chiling felt embarrassed when she heard this, but surprised in her heart. She had heard about Marceline's straightforward character, but she didn't expect to see it today until she realized what it means to hear once. Marceline's forthrightness is definitely better than the rumors. This also made Lin Chiling couldn't help comparing Li Zhiyou and Avril.

Li Zhiyou saw that although he was dissatisfied, he hid it in his heart. Marceline's dissatisfaction was directly expressed. The two belong to two extremes. Think about it. Lin Chiling couldn't help but glanced at Lin Feng, wondering how Lin Feng was able to deal with these two women, and these two women knew each other's existence, yet they could secretly acquiesce to each other.

The boss is the boss! Lin Chiling sighed.

Seeing Lin Chiling's slightly embarrassed face at this moment, Lin Feng hurriedly cleared the siege to prevent Avril from finally pointing the finger at him.

"By the way. Avril, you came to pick me up today without any make-up, aren't you afraid of being followed by the media?" Sao Feng asked. Marceline hates the paparazzi's stalking the most. It was not seen before that the report of paparazzi stalking and directly raising the middle finger was published in major gossip magazines. Lin Feng was really surprised that he came to pick him up without even wearing sunglasses after becoming the front page.

"Hehe. Lin, the reporters don't have the time to talk to me now. Now they are all on Sony and Michael Jackson's side." Marceline said with a sigh.

"What's the matter? Lin Feng heard the displeasure in Jianweier's tone and hurriedly asked.

"Lin. Michael declared war on Sony." Marceline said.

"Declaration of war!" Lin Feng was taken aback.

"En. Come to Lin Feng and get in the car. I'll take you to a place a little far from Los Angeles. I'll tell you the details in the car." Marceline pulled Lin Feng into a Rolls Royce, but she was arrogant Lin Chiling was kept out.

"Zhiling, sit in the back, take the same car with Li Rui and the others. Xiao Linfeng smiled helplessly and then ordered.

Witnessing Lin Chiling walking slightly depressed to the back of a car, Marceline giggled in astonishment. She drove Lin Chiling to the car behind for a demonstration. Tell Lin Chiling who is Lin Feng's real girlfriend. Second, there are some things that are inconvenient to tell outsiders, so she can only tell Lin Feng.

"Okay. Tell me what happened to Michael and Sony." Lin Feng held Marceline's hand. asked softly.

"Hmph. Don't you blame me for taking your sexy female secretary Yuan?" Avril looked into Lin Feng's eyes and asked

"Ha. What are you talking about. I admit that she is very beautiful and attractive, but I do know who is the most important woman to me, and who I like in my heart." Lin Feng pinched Marceline's firm nose Taro said.

"Hee hee!" Avril Le's heart seemed to be as sweet as drinking honey. Then in the car. Marceline told Lin Feng about the grievances between Michael Jackson and Sony.

It turns out that the feud between Michael Jackson and Sony started last year.

In the new year, when Jackson released his new album "Invincible", Sony did not promote it a lot, and even neglected it, especially during the promotion of "Invincible". The news channel that Michael Jackson owed $100 million broke out. The rumor that the huge debt was about to go bankrupt made Michael Jackson very embarrassed at the time.

In the end, "Invincible" sold over 10,000 copies, which is already an astonishing statistic in the eyes of other singers, but in the eyes of "King of Pop" Michael Jackson, it was a failure or even a dismal result. After all, Michael-Jackson put a lot of effort into this album, and the whole process was funded by himself. The sales of tens of thousands can only just recover the cost. If Sony and Michael want to make money, they must sell at least 10,000 milk.

So there was a war of words between Michael Jackson and Sony Records. Michael Jackson reprimanded Sony Records for its unfavorable publicity, but Sony Records accused Michael Jackson of being out of date. There's a reason why companies don't spend huge sums on publicity. Record sales will prove it all!

These words naturally made Michael Jackson extremely dissatisfied and the conflict between the two parties gradually escalated. Finally, on the 6th of this year in New York, Michael Jackson held a press conference to declare war on Sony Records, pointing directly at the shady record industry, racial discrimination and discrimination against black singers and recording artists.

After listening to Avril's words, Lin Feng was speechless for a while, but he didn't expect the whole thing. The incident is so complicated and there are so many shady scenes in the record industry. It's no wonder that many of the pop superstars who once set records for unlimited record sales have always heard about the dismal prospect of bankruptcy. In addition to the extravagance of some stars themselves, it is more because of the record company's recording. especially blacks

.

Although. The appearance of Michael Jackson in his spare time broke the racial shackles of radio and television music programs and the record industry with a piece of "Van Pi", but it did not smash the racial discrimination still hidden in the music industry, especially the record company and the cruel recording of artists.

.

"Lin. Thank you for your willingness to invest in me to set up my own record company, otherwise I would have been ruthlessly recorded by the record company." Avril said as she leaned into Lin Feng's arms with a lucky and grateful expression.

If it wasn't for Lin Feng's investment to let Marceline set up her own record company to operate her own records. I'm afraid Marceline will not be like this after she just sold two albums and held a global concert. Has a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars. If you sign a contract with the record company Marceline, you can get a share of the name at most. Of course, the superstars of the emperor will have a share.

However, even if it is divided into Marceline’s second album and seven singles, the total sales are less than 10,000 copies, and the global concerts have brought in a total of US$400 million in revenue. In addition to transportation costs, company commissions, brokers’ dividends, and her own band, etc. Aiwei At most, Vail can earn around $40,000. And now Avril relies on her own operating company to operate her own records and has become an out-and-out little rich woman in the United States. Half of the profits were distributed to Lin Feng.

"Hehe. Of course, how can I let my woman be cut off!" Lin Feng said proudly with his arms around Marceline.

"Hee hee!" Avril said sweetly.

"By the way, Michael Jackson is really going bankrupt?" Lin Feng asked curiously. Although Lin Feng was a fan of Michael Jackson in the past, the domestic news at that time was full of negative news about Michael Jackson, whether it was bankruptcy, business boy or his extravagance, which made Lin Feng very dissatisfied.

A person who has donated more than 100 million US dollars to the charity of the Blade House will definitely not be as miserable as the media said. Therefore, Lin Feng didn't bother to read related news later, but concentrated on enjoying the pure music brought by Michael Jackson.

"A lot. Not really. Michael Jackson's personal property and assets are at least more than two dollars. How can he go bankrupt. He owns the copyright of Sony Music Publishing Company and also owns parts of The Beatles and Elvis Presley The copyright does not count his real estate, but he owns nearly 100 million dollars in assets, how could he go bankrupt. It’s just that he doesn’t have the liquidity to repay a 100 million dollar arrears!” Avril sneered. "Lin, you don't know that the real reason why Michael decided to turn against Sony Records is because last year when he promoted "Invincible" it was revealed that the man behind the money he owed was the president of Sony Records, Mottola."

Lin Feng was startled.

"Lin. Because the contract between Michael and Sony is about to expire. And Michael has already stated that he will not renew the contract, so Sony is doing this in the hope that it will destroy Michael and eventually force Michael to return to Sony Records due to debt problems and get back Naxi's copyright. .Because the loan was mortgaged by Michael’s copyright of Sony Records, and the price was set by Sony at the time. NetForex was a little more than $100 million. The loan contract stipulated that if Michael failed to repay the loan, Sony Records would The right to buy back the copyright of this blade." Marceline said angrily.

Lin Feng listened. After thinking about it, Wei Wei understood the reason for all this. Record copyright is the foundation for a record company. If Michael leaves Sony Records with this o copyright, the blow to Sony Records is self-evident.

I see! After thinking about it carefully, Mo Feng finally understood all of this.

Benefit. This war is ultimately about profit. However, Michael wanted to protect his own interests, but Sony Records wanted to get back the benefits that had been lost due to a wrong decision.

"Lin. Can I ask you to help Michael with one thing." Avril looked at Lin Feng and said.
