Chapter 170 You Are My Everything
End of October 1996.
Something happened in the United States that, to many people, was not a big deal.
But in the eyes of Milo and the person involved, it is worth remembering.
Britney's first album was released, and the first hit song also started to chart.
The name of this song is "Confession of Love".
"Hi, how are you all, everyone. I am your loyal Tom Jackson. Every time I read my name, I can't help but complain, why did my father name me Tom instead of Michael? Otherwise, I would be so proud. You know, MJ told me that my singing of "B" was only a little bit worse than his..."
Listening to the voice coming from the radio, one of the girls standing in front couldn't help but complain: "Damn, this guy is so nagging."
"He keeps nagging like that!"
Perhaps after hearing their complaints, the radio host immediately changed the topic: "Okay, okay, let's get down to business. The director is going crazy in front of me. If I don't get to the point, he'll kill me."
"Then the first song I want to recommend today is a work by a new artist, the first song from the debut album of a 15-year-old girl. It's lively and cute, full of energy and a little sweet, and has a strong sense of rhythm, which is very suitable for young people. Then, let's listen to Britney Spears's "Say It Again."
As the rhythmic beat sounded, the girls waiting in front of them immediately began to cheer, and the girl surrounded by them was especially excited.
"Well, this is my new song. I can't wait to know where it will rank on the Billboard chart."
Britney proudly said loudly to her friends, and a group of girls immediately looked at her with either envy or jealousy.
"It should be in the top 20 at least." A girl thought for a moment and said, "The MTV for this song is so good, Britney is so beautiful."
"Definitely more than that, at least the top ten, maybe even the top five or top three!! You have to know that the songs in it were all composed and written by Mr. Blackburn! That's Mr. Blackburn!" Another girl expressed a different opinion.
Britney's sweet voice with a hint of childishness kept floating out from the radio.
I have to admit that her voice is really attractive and quite likable.
Soon the girls began to hum along, and Britney became even more proud.
Soon, the song ended, and the host's funny voice sounded again: "Oh, it's really beautiful, the sweet and magnetic voice makes people think of it. It makes me feel like I see the sweet girl in my middle school again!"
"Also, don't you think the lyrics and music of this song are beautiful? I think just based on the quality of the lyrics and music, it's worth everyone listening to it."
"Now let's look at the author of the lyrics and music - oh, it's all clear. Milo Blackburn, my God, what can our Mr. Blackburn not do!"
"Novels, directing, producing, business, and now music! Is there anything that Mr. Blackburn doesn't know?!"
"I think there must be. I think Mr. Blackburn can't have children!"
"Of course, I mean he can't have children himself. Not that he won't let others have children. Look at his physique, and the huge size of his penis in the photos that were leaked before...Okay, okay, the director is about to call again. I feel like he's going to pull a gun out of his pocket and shoot me in the next second. Let's shift our attention from Mr. Blackburn to our lovely and sweet Britney."
"Speaking of Britney, I have made up my mind. I must invite her as a guest on the next show. I want to know what kind of sweet and lovely girl she is. If you also want to know, then please pray that the dear producer will agree to my request."
In front of the radio.
"Wow, Britney is going to be on Tom Jackson's radio show."
"Tom Jackson, he's the number one among the top ten radio hosts in the United States!"
"He actually wants to know how sweet and lovely you are. I envy you, Brittany."
A group of girls started to make a noise, surrounding Britney and pushing her around.
"Well, didn't he say that we need the consent of the show's producer?" Although Britney said this, her chin was held high and her smug look did not diminish at all.
But she soon thought of something and screamed, then hurriedly packed up, as if preparing to go out.
"What happened?" a girl asked.
"I almost forgot that I have to go to the headquarters this afternoon to discuss some issues with the producer. I'm so sorry that I can't accompany you." Britney said apologetically, and then ran downstairs without stopping.
"Mom, I'm going out for a while and may be back late." She ran to several rooms before finding her mother in the corner of the kitchen. To her surprise, her father was also there.
"What's wrong, honey?" Lynn asked her daughter.
Britney repeated what she had said before.
"Let me take you there." Jamie Spears said at this time.
"No need, Dad. I can just find a taxi. It's not a big deal. If it's fast, I'll be back in a while. If it's slow, it might be a little later." Britney refused.
"Hey, Britney, can we follow?" Several other girls also ran down from upstairs.
Paladin Music's headquarters address has changed again.
Originally in Los Angeles, but since Milo successfully acquired MCA Group.
Because MCA Music's headquarters is in New York, Minogue asked Paladin Music to move there from Los Angeles.
After all, compared with Paladin Music, which is composed entirely of potential newcomers, the music department of MCA Group can be called a world giant.
It is one of the largest music companies in the world, carrying out a full range of businesses including music production and distribution, copyright management, licensed merchandise sales and audio-visual content in more than 60 countries and regions.
With such a giant already in place, Milo naturally chose to place Paladin Music under the management of MCA Music Group.
Britney, her group of new friends, and their families naturally moved from Los Angeles to New York.
The main reason is that many of these newcomers are not yet sixteen years old.
According to US law, it is not allowed to be away from guardians.
So parents can naturally be around.
This is the case with Britney and her friends.
They now live in a building in Queens, New York.
This building has 28 floors, and the bottom eight floors are all dormitories and apartments. The upper floors are directly the studio and training ground of the MCA Group's music department.
I heard that the other girls, including Christina, who I had always been wary of, wanted to go with me.
Britney quickly refused.
"Oh, no, I have something to discuss with the producer today. If you want to visit, I can apply for you. If the company agrees, you can go anytime."
As Britney's voice faded away, the girls quickly left the kitchen, and the two adults withdrew their gazes.
"You should go with you, Jamie," Lynn said now dissatisfiedly.
"Don't worry, she's not a child. If I go with her, she'll only be disgusted." Jamie shrugged indifferently.
"But..." Lynn wanted to say something, but she closed her mouth after uttering two words.
"What are you worried about? Are you worried that she has a boyfriend?" Jamie said jokingly.
"Maybe it's my illusion." Lynn didn't deny it. She frowned and sighed, "I always feel that she has been..."
"Okay, don't worry about it. Let's wait until the album's performance comes out. Who knows, maybe it won't be that great." Jamie said in a relaxed tone, but the excitement in his eyes betrayed his thoughts.
"Well, at least be careful," Lynn said without saying anything more. "If Bubu really becomes a big star..."
"I know what to do," Jamie said immediately. "This is our family's chance."
When Britney's father thinks about that possibility, he still feels like he is dreaming.
Manhattan, New York.
In the headquarters building of MCA Group.
"…This is the basic schedule. I have already faxed a copy to your parents and your agent. They both have no objections. Do you have anything else to add?"
Eric Norton said this as he flipped through the documents in his hand.
He is a producer in the MCA music department and is responsible for Britney's new album.
As a well-known producer who has personally brought out several superstars.
Eric Norton originally didn't think much of a small-time celebrity like Britney.
But...MCA was just acquired from Japan a few months ago.
We are still in the adjustment period.
And this little shrimp whom he looked down upon, the new lyrics and music in her album.
It was actually written by Mr. Blackburn, the super boss at the top.
Never mind that Eric Norton is just a producer under the music department.
Even the current head of the MCA Group attaches great importance to this matter.
I ask about it almost every day.
Eric Norton naturally showed a level of gentleness far beyond his normal level towards Britney, a small fry.
If it were a new female singer who debuted normally.
Haha, unless he has a backer, he wouldn’t take it so seriously even if you sleep with him every day.
"No, not at all. In fact, I can't wait any longer."
Britney shook her head like a rattle, clenched her hands into fists, and an excited smile was clearly visible on her face.
"Well, then..."
Norton then looked at Britney's agent, Lawrence Wick, who was sitting next to her. The latter also shook his head to indicate that he had nothing more to say. "That's it."
"Is it over? It seems I'm late." A voice came from the door of the meeting room.
"Hi, Milo." Britney greeted him immediately with an excited look on her face. If there weren't other people here, she might have pounced on him.
"Hi, Bubu, it's great to see you. You look much prettier now. Did you hear any good news?"
Milo walked over with a laugh and waved his hand to signal Eric Norton and Lawrence Wick not to be too nervous.
"Oh, of course. This is the itinerary for the book signing event. It goes from Los Angeles to New York, and also passes through New Orleans." Britney picked up the document and waved it excitedly. "Although it can't pass through my hometown, it's already pretty good."
"Really?" Milo chuckled, then looked at Norton, "Why, haven't you told her the news yet?"
"I think it would be more appropriate for you to tell her in person." Norton smiled and looked at Milo and Britney. "I think Miss Spears will be happier this way."
"What is it?" Britney asked, looking at Milo with anticipation and hope in her eyes.
"Okay, since you're done now, give us some private space." Milo nodded and waved to Britney.
The girl jumped up immediately, greeted Norton and her agent, and followed Milo with a smile on her face.
After the two left, Britney's agent Lawrence Wick looked at Eric Norton.
The two looked at each other, shrugged, and then laughed together.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
That's why they are one of the industry's gold medal producers and one of the industry's super agents.
When facing a small-time celebrity who has no fame, has just debuted and seems to have no background.
Both of them were extremely respectful.
It was as if Britney was not their new person, but their most beloved daughter.
No background?
Oh……
On the contrary, she has the biggest background in the entire record industry!
In the music industry, there is simply no one with a bigger background than hers.
It’s just…how old is she?
This big boss is really... But if you think about it, there are many more perverted things in the industry.
Britney is almost fifteen years old after all, and some American girls have already given birth to children by this age.
So it's understandable.
Not to mention the spiritual exchanges between Eric Norton and Lawrence Wick.
Milo and Britney left the conference room and took the elevator to Milo's private lounge.
This is the MCA Group's headquarters in New York, located in a building on Seventh Avenue in Manhattan.
The ownership of the building belongs to the MCA Group, which bought it three years ago.
Of the 13 billion U.S. dollars that the Japanese invested in the MCA Group, 300 million U.S. dollars were used to purchase this building with a particularly strategic location.
As the big boss, he certainly has his own office in the MCA Group.
Although he seldom came here, he would ask people from the MCA Group to report to the Rockefeller Building if there was anything.
As soon as the door closed with a click, Britney jumped up and threw her arms around Milo's neck.
"Wait, Bubu..."
Before he could finish his words, his mouth was blocked by the other party.
Britney pried open his teeth skillfully and reached in flexibly.
Amid the crackling sound, Milo locked the door while dealing with Britney.
The girl then clamped her legs around his waist, and Milo lifted her up... and just like that, he held her up and walked towards the sofa next to him.
With a thud, the girl was pushed onto the sofa. Although Milo counterattacked and broke through her defense, she hummed with excitement and two blushes appeared on her pretty face.
After a long time, and with an indistinct sigh, the two finally separated.
Milo sat up and pulled his collar, looking at her with satisfaction: "You are so cute, Bubu."
Britney didn't say anything, just panted with her mouth slightly open.
Looking at him, his eyes were watery and he seemed unsatisfied.
Sure enough, she suddenly turned over and climbed up, crawling on the sofa in a "F" shape, and put her hands on Milo's shoulders. Her breathing became more rapid: "Come on, Milo, come on."
A girl who has just experienced the feeling has become addicted to it even though she has not really experienced it yet.
Of course, it may also be that she understands why she can stand out in a behemoth like MCA Music.
That's why she was so proactive.
"Wait, Bubu, don't be so impatient, okay?"
Milo smiled and grabbed her slender waist.
"But I want you."
Britney spoke rapidly, leaning forward and rubbing her head against Milo's face, sniffing at it from time to time like a puppy.
This made Milo feel relaxed and happy.
Although his older women were all obedient to him, it was more like the feeling between lovers.
Junko and the others in Japan are gentle and submissive, but that is a traditional trait of oriental women when facing strong men.
As for Britney, she is indeed the little pet he specially cultivated.
Even so, he still pushed her up gently, and then asked in her eager and confused eyes: "Don't you want to know some good news?"
Britney was stunned for a moment before she responded, but then she posted again: "What good news could be more important than you?"
Milo chuckled twice and pinched her chin lovingly: "That's true, but I think you should know the news first."
"Okay." Although a little disappointed, Britney did not insist. After all, Milo said so.
He took out a piece of paper from his arms, shook it in his hand, and smiled: "Although the Billboard chart will not be released until tomorrow, I have already obtained it through some channels."
"You mean..." Britney took a deep breath and looked at the thing in his hand with surprise and disbelief.
Milo smiled and handed the paper to her. The girl took it, took a deep breath again, and opened it tremblingly.
At first her eyes looked down, then moved upwards. The higher she looked, the more disappointed the look in her eyes became, until she reached the top.
She was stunned, blinked, then her eyes widened in disbelief, and her body began to tremble.
“Is this…really?”
She put the paper down quickly, looked at Milo uncontrollably, then picked it up again and looked at it. She felt dizzy and bit her lips as if she was afraid that she was in a dream and might wake up at any time.
"Of course, congratulations, Bubu, you did a great job." Milo smiled and nodded.
"Great, great, I'm number one, I'm number one!" Britney suddenly cheered, jumped up from the sofa, and jumped up and down excitedly in the lounge, as excited as a...
She had reasons to do so.
Because the first hit song of the first album, "Confession of Love Again", was just released and it topped the Billboard Top 100.
This is a great honor for any new singer.
Or it should be said that this is a milestone and great honor for any singer.
"I knew it, I knew it! Milo, you are the best! As long as it is yours, whether it is a movie or a novel, whether it is a kiss or a caress, it is the best!"
"Number one, I'm number one, number one on the billboard!"
"Ahh, I'm number one!"
Britney kept jumping and cheering, her unbridled look seemed to want to shake down the floor. Her innocent and lovely side was fully revealed at this moment.
Then, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at Milo, her eyes filled with overwhelming emotions.
The next second, she threw herself into his arms and rained her kisses on him: "I love you, Milo, I love you, I love you, I love you, you are the light, you are my God, you are my only one!"
She shouted in ecstasy, choking up at the end, and kept kissing Milo, as if she couldn't express her gratitude without doing so.
Britney kept yelling like this for a while, until she had almost used up all her strength. She finally stopped and snuggled up to Milo, breathing softly.
"Are you finally calm now?" Milo asked teasingly, patting her back gently.
The girl smiled a little sheepishly: "I just... didn't expect to be on the top of the Billboard chart. Oh, this is like a dream."
"Billboard is not something that is out of reach. The MTV was well shot, the pre-production was perfect, and we went all out to promote it when it was released. It's not surprising that we got such a result."
"And the lyrics and music I prepared for you."
Milo said lightly, "Remember what I told you, Bubu? What kind of singer am I going to train?"
"Of course I remember, the next Madonna, and... I have that potential." Britney's eyes sparkled, and her breathing became much faster when she said this. Which female singer doesn't want to be the second Madonna? Michael for men, Madonna for women.
They are simply two symbols of American pop music in the last decade! Even for other countries in the world, they have become cultural symbols.
"That's right," Milo nodded with a smile, "Do you believe it now?"
"I always believe in you, Milo. I believe everything you say." The girl said coquettishly. She suddenly came across and rode on his body, laughing, "I love you, Milo. You are everything to me."
