Celebration banquet scene—

For Song Zhichao—

"You are not just a clown, but also a hateful guy! A Chinese, a Chinese businessman who only knows how to take advantage of things! In the eyes of us Japanese, you are just a little clever Hong Kong guy who has lost his luck! As for music, what do you know, the allusion of just filling in numbers is for him!" The vicious sarcastic voice echoed at the banquet.

Seeing that his boss was humiliated in public like this, Luo Bachen, Bi Wenfeng and Qi Wanda looked extremely ugly.

Jin Jiu and Niu Xiong were furious and went forward to the left and right, crossed Song Zhichao, and were about to face each other.

But Song Zhichao reached out to stop them, shook his head, looked at his opponent without saying a word.

At this time, the group of people who suddenly broke in caused a commotion at the scene.

After all, this is Beverly Hills, and the person who initiated the celebration banquet is the famous Hollywood king Mike Jackson. Who is so bold that he dares to come here?

"Who are you? This is a private place. How can you break in?" Mike didn't know the other person and immediately asked loudly.

"Who am I?" The man with a short body smiled proudly, and the person next to him replied, "This is Mr. Nakao Kimura, the president of our Sony headquarters in Los Angeles. As for him, the one next to him is Mr. Steve, the CEO of Sony Entertainment Company in the United States." The Japanese standing next to Nakao Kimura introduced proudly in English, "As for me, you can call me Tanakakun, I am also one of the person in charge of Sony Electronics."

At this time, the president of Sony Entertainment, Steve, spoke up and emphasized that he was very arrogant: "Dear Mike, you should know that our Sony Entertainment has Sony Film Entertainment and Sony Records Entertainment, and our record company seems to have signed a long-term contract with you - as a partner, how can we not come when you hold a celebration this time?" After saying that, Steve with Steve clapped his hands and saw someone around him carrying something up, covering a black cloth curtain, looking half a person tall, and he didn't know what it was.

"This is a gift from Japan that Mr. Kimura brought to you from Japan to celebrate the success of your concert - Mike, open it and take a look!" Steve signaled. Before Mike answered, someone had already stepped forward to help uncover the black cloth. He saw that it was a pair of "armor" from the Warring States Period in Japan - black, black iron face, and devil horns, which looked very ferocious, but for many Americans, it felt ferocious and full of power and mystery.

"How about it, do you still like this gift? This is the black tiger armor used by our famous general Takeda Shingen in the Warring States Period when the world was in the world. Of course, it is a high imitation product. The real armor is the national treasure of our Japan..." Kimura Nakao said proudly, "But even a pair of imitation armor is precious. It represents invincibility, and courage and loyalty!"

Mike: "…"

He was a little at a loss about the sudden change.

You should know that Sony Entertainment is a super powerful existence in the United States - how huge is it? Most of the Hollywood superstars at the scene have more or less cooperative relationships with Sony, including Mike himself.

It can be said that no matter who offended Sony, there will be no good results in the future.

...

Speaking of which, in the late 1980s, after Sony Electronics failed in the video record competition, Akio Morita believed that it was necessary to combine the highest-end hardware with the most advanced content to master the market. On September 25, 1989, under the leadership of Akio Morita, Sony Japan spent a huge amount of US$6 billion to acquire the Columbia Film and Music department, which has the symbol of Torch Goddess and Unicorns, making it a subsidiary of Sony Electronics.

In the context of time and space at that time, Japan's economy grew sharply, establishing its position as the world's second largest economy, while the US economy was sluggish as a decline; due to Japan's defeat to the United States in World War II, many Japanese companies frantically acquired American companies for national self-esteem, while many American companies were unable to fight back. Among them, Japan's Mitsubishi Group bought the landmark Rockefeller Building in New York and Sony's Suning Samsung Film Company for a sky-high price of 6 billion US dollars, setting the largest overseas merger case in Japan at that time, and the Americans regarded it as the Japanese invading the United States. However, this acquisition case with the highest amount in Japan's history also became the company with the highest loss in Japan's history. In the late 1980s, Japan began to break out in a bubble economic crisis, and Sony's film business group also lost several years due to poor box office, which became the main obstacle to Sony's profit at that time.

But even Sony's largest "money-lossing product", Sony Entertainment in the United States is still very awesome in Hollywood. Among them, the king Mike signed a ten-year contract with Sony Records, which also led to huge conflicts between Sony and Mike in the future, and eventually became exhausted and died young.

...

Logically speaking, since Mike Jackson is a contracted artist at Sony Records, he should have heard of this Steve President. But in fact, most of Mike's signings were handled by his agent. Mike didn't come forward, so he was not very familiar with Steve. He just knew his name. Unexpectedly, he actually came to the door on his own and even gave him a "gift".

Of course Mike understands what this means.

Sure enough, at this time, at Nakao Kimura's hint, Steve Big Nose smiled slightly and said coldly: "Oh, dear Mike, do you know the meaning of courage and loyalty I just said? Maybe you know very well, what about loyalty?"

There is obviously something in the words.

"If you remember well, you Mike has a year-round agreement with our Sony Records. Your records, including the recordings you make at your concert, must give priority to us Sony - but what's the truth?" Steve stared at Mike Jackson with a slight sarcastic sarcastic look.

That’s right, Mike is very popular and awesome, but a contract is a contract. No matter how popular or awesome you are, you must do things according to the contract.

Mike Jackson has been popular for so long, but has never been mocked like this before - let alone being criticized like this in front of so many people.

Seeing that Mike Jackson was extremely embarrassed, a voice said, "Can I stand up and say a few words?"

Steve is secretly happy that he can beat the famous American Mike King so badly. This kind of record will be guaranteed to be on the headlines tomorrow. Unexpectedly, someone suddenly spoke and said without looking back: "Who are you?"
