Chapter 605 Total Ban

Michael Jackson has joined Avril Records as a freely contracted artist, which is definitely news that shocks the world.

When Michael Jackson announced that he had joined Avril Records, all the reporters at the scene were dumbfounded. Through the live broadcast on television, major record companies around the world who were paying attention to the matter were also dumbfounded.

EMI Records, BMG Records, Warner Records, and many other record companies were paying close attention to this matter. If Michael Jackson really fell out with Sony Records, they would definitely not mind extending an olive branch to Michael Jackson.

Thinking about the 50% copyright of Sony Records owned by Michael, it is a hot commodity for any record company. As long as it obtains this 50% copyright, it can immediately become the largest record company in the world. Unexpectedly, there is no waiting.

They took action, and Michael Jackson had already signed with Avril Records in advance. This was undoubtedly a blow to all record companies trying to get 50% of the copyright of Sony Records.

Of course, the real hit was not them, but Sony Records.

When Sony Records President Moto La heard the news, he was so angry that his whole body was shaking and his face was ashen.

Originally, Sony Records' contract with Michael Jackson was about to expire, but it was reluctant to renew it. The top management had many opinions, some said it would adopt a soft policy, and some said it would adopt a tough policy. In short, there were different opinions. In the end, President Motola made the decision to terminate Michael Jackson's contract.

Jackson took a tough stance and warned his other artists not to challenge the authority of the record company.

A very important reason why President Motola did this was because of his ex-wife, the pop queen Mariah Carey. When Motola married the pop queen who was 22 years younger than him, he was very proud. Unexpectedly, in the end, the two of them fell out because of each other.

They divorced due to musical differences, and Mariah Carey also denounced his domineering and arrogant nature to the media, which made Mottola very dissatisfied. During the divorce process, Mottola believed that Michael Jackson was the mastermind.

Because Mariah Carey's best friend is Michael Jackson, Motola speculated that Mariah Carey was bewitched by Michael Jackson and finally decided to divorce her. Especially the original reason for the divorce between the two.

Because Mariah Carey wants to record black music, this is obviously related to Michael Jackson's always advocating black music.

Tangled up in various issues, Motorola decided to take tough measures against Michael, forcing him to return to Sony Records and helping Sony obtain the 50% copyright. Unexpectedly, Lin Feng first gave Michael Jackson a record worth 300 million

The US dollar contract was enough to pay off the loan, and then Michael Jackson voluntarily joined Avril Records. This made Motorola so angry that he wanted the bodyguard to beat up Lin Feng on the spot.

Of course, this idea is just a thought. Lin Feng is currently surrounded by eight bodyguards at any time, and all of them have sharp eyesight and a tall body. They are stronger than the security system of ordinary small countries. If these bodyguards want to disturb Lin Feng, that is

Delusion.

Damn the Chinese! - Motola grabbed the phone angrily and started dialing the numbers of the presidents of major record companies. Although Michael Jackson joined Avril Records based on his personal wishes, for global record companies,

But it was an earthquake.

At first, Alista Records was very optimistic about Avril and wanted to sign her. Unexpectedly, before they could make a decision, Avril had already received funding from Lin Feng to set up her own record company to release her album. At that time, although Arista Records was regretful,

But it’s just a pity. Even if Avril’s record became a hit later and she instantly became a pop queen, other record companies didn’t pay much attention to this matter. After all, Avril’s record company has been focusing on her own

Music is not competing with other record companies for business. But now that Michael Jackson is signed to Avril's record company, it is different.

This means that Avril Records will become a new company in the record industry, and with the charm of Michael Jackson, it will become an upstart in the record industry. In particular, this free signing model will greatly destroy the rules of the record industry. The record company

Profits are mainly obtained by squeezing its artists to maximize profits, but now Avril's signing conditions have obviously broken the rules.

Of course, the major record companies are not only worried about this. What they are afraid of is that the arrival of Michael Jackson will cause other artists to follow suit. That will be the real trouble. Although the current strength of Avril Records is still

It is very weak, whether it is production talents, marketing talents, or relationships with radio stations, it cannot compete with established companies like Sony Records, but this trend is not good.

In particular, Michael Jackson joined Avril Records as a freely contracted artist. The so-called freely contracted artist means that the artist and the company have an equal partnership, and there is no binding force. And the most important thing is that in terms of sharing, the artist usually agrees with the company.

Each accounts for 50%, and even the artist accounts for the majority. Most record companies make profits by exploiting artists. There is only one Michael Jackson in the world.

If Avril Records adopts this kind of condition to sign artists in the future, it will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to other record companies. Especially now, Michael Jackson still holds 50% of the copyright of Sony Records.

Motorola will naturally not let this happen, let alone let 50% of the copyright of Sony Records go out in the future (for example, to Avril Records), which will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to Sony Records. Therefore,

Motorola now hopes to take advantage of Avril Records' unstable foothold to unite the power of major record companies to block Avril Records.

After the press conference, an undercurrent followed Motola's phone calls to major record companies around the world, and a conspiracy against Avril's record company pounced on Avril and Michael Jackson.

Naturally, many fans are unaware of this conspiracy. They are now happy that the dispute between Michael Jackson and Sony Records has finally come to an end, and Michael Jackson has also found a record company that can deliver more classic songs to all fans.

Especially Chinese fans, Lin Feng doesn’t know exactly how many fans Michael Jackson has in China, but with the charm of the “King of Pop”, Lin Feng believes that it is at least in the hundreds of millions. These hundreds of millions of fans will have a huge impact on Michael Jackson in the next ten years.

He performed thirty concerts in China and received enthusiastic cheers. In the past, Michael Jackson's concerts could only be watched through VCD, but now you can watch them with your own eyes, which is enough to satisfy the wishes of most fans.

But at this moment, Lin Feng received bad news.

"Lin, all the major radio stations and music channels refused to play my new single." Avril frowned and said.

During this time, Avril was immersed in the recording studio. In addition to perfecting "When-You-Are-Gone", she also recorded a new single "Girlfriend", which was also an extremely popular hit. Avril was very interested in

The two singles were extremely confident and believed that the sales volume would be at least 3 million copies. Unexpectedly, when the public relations department of her record company wanted to send the records to major radio stations, they were rejected. All major radio stations and music channels in the United States refused.

With one exception, reject all.

When Lin Feng heard this, he frowned. He already secretly guessed that this matter should be related to Michael Jackson's freedom to join Avril Records.

At this moment, Sam, the head of the public relations department of Avril Records, walked in hurriedly.

"Avril, I received an inside message. The reason why major radio stations and music channels in the United States do not play your single this time is because other record companies have jointly put pressure on all radio stations not to play your single.

Not only your singles, but also Michael's. In short, as long as they are songs by artists signed by Avril Records, they are not allowed to be played. And it's not just the United States, including Europe and Asia. It seems that except for mainland China, the rest of the

We have received secret letters from major record companies around the world." Sam's face turned red. He had never seen such a dirty thing. The major record companies refused to do this. It was so shameless.

"I think it's because of me. I also received news that the initiator of this incident was Sony Records. I'm afraid Motorola wants to force me to leave Avril Records." Michael Jackson shook his head helplessly.

"I'm sorry, Avril, I think I'd better leave. Otherwise it will be bad if your company is implicated." Michael Jackson shrugged and said. If Motorola really bullied people too much, Michael Jackson wouldn't mind using his own property.

If you take a gamble with him, the worst he can do is produce your own records and sell them yourself. And if you choose a company such as Warner Records, Michael Jackson believes that this so-called alliance will inevitably collapse.

The reason is very simple, he is the "King of Pop" - Michael Jackson, and many companies are rushing to sign him. The reason why these companies are now united to put pressure on Avril Records, the most important one is Avril Records

The company is too small, too weak, and it is a record company composed of artists. This is the last thing any record company wants to see.

"No, if you leave like this, wouldn't you be bowing to them?" Avril became stubborn. The more others forced her like this, the more unconvinced she became.

"Hmph, the worst we can do is go to China to publish the film." Avril loves her family and has a good impression of China.

Sam's eyes lit up after hearing this. China is the country with the largest population in the world and the best economic situation among developing countries. It will be the world's largest consumer market in the future. If a movie is released in China, even if it only has 1% of the market, it will
