Chapter 237 236. The End of Scumbag

"Hill, what are you doing! Didn't you say Janet Jackson wouldn't talk nonsense?"

"She did promise me that, damn it! She's playing tricks on us! Ban her! She must be banned! Janet Jackson will never get a chance to win a Grammy again in her lifetime."

Inside the stadium, the heads of the two TV stations and Jia Renzha were originally discussing how to resolve the matter while achieving their own goals.

As core executives of the two TV stations, Hill Kaufman and Charles Ricklance knew very well that this time they wanted to make a fuss about Janet Jackson.

His boss has reached an agreement with the Conservative Party to use the Super Bowl, which has attracted national attention, to create a big event to promote amendments to the bill and redefine industry standards.

Before they could even come to an agreement, they received a report that Janet Jackson was being interviewed, and what she said was not what they wanted to hear, so the three of them hurried over to stop it.

Why Janet Jackson? Because her various labels are really suitable for taking the blame.

First of all, Jenny herself is one of the pop queens and has a strong influence all over the world. Her influence in the United States is even stronger. She is definitely a top-tier female star who comes with traffic and attention.

Secondly, she is Mike's biological sister. Mike had a big fight with Sony last year, which caused the whole world to boycott Sony for a while.

This caused Sony Group's stock price to plummet by nearly $8 billion. In the end, the company compromised and let Michael leave as a free agent. It has only now barely recovered.

During this period, there were also eye-catching incidents such as sexual assault, suicide, trial, and perjury. The heat was too high.

Even though the case of Mike has been cleared up, there are still some people who stubbornly oppose it. Getting his sister involved can both cater to the needs of these people and please capitals such as Sony.

In addition, compared to veteran singers such as Madonna, Celine Dion, and Mariah Carey, whose influence has gradually weakened, Jenny has maintained relatively good momentum since the millennium.

In other words, she has taken up the position of others, and under her influence, some newcomers with similar image and style have found it very difficult to stand out.

If this situation happened in the Chinese music scene, it would not have much impact, after all, the old people would still be in power more than a decade later.

Even if newcomers are promoted, not many people will buy into them because their business capabilities are simply too poor.

Only a few people like G.E.M. have really emerged, while Xue Zhiqian, Li Ronghao and others belong to the Mesozoic era.

Pop music is the absolute mainstream, and rock, heavy metal, jazz, RB, folk and other genres have never been popularized. The audience is limited, which further reduces the audience's appreciation ability.

The music scene is not only declining, but guava is rampant. Apart from guava, songs of other styles find it difficult to stand out.

This is similar to film and television dramas. No matter whether it is fantasy, martial arts, workplace, or suspense, any type can be made into a melodramatic love drama.

Bad audiences give birth to bad movies, bad listeners give birth to bad songs, it's the same old story.

But it is very bad if this phenomenon happens in the European and American music scene.

Because the music industry here is relatively mature, the professional level of newcomers is also relatively high.

For major companies, they can earn more money by promoting new people than by promoting old customers. The old customer market will affect profits, and continuous iteration is the way to make money.

Therefore, Europe and the United States have a tradition of major blood transfusions every ten years.

In short, for various reasons, they want to bring down Janet Jackson.

As for the scumbag Jia, he certainly doesn't know so many inside stories. He is just an obedient henchman who is used as a gun.

If you get the job done, your master will reward you with some dates.

But if an accident happens like today, it would be hard to say.

"Hill, Charles, what should we do? The situation is not favorable to us!"

Jia Renzha asked as he walked. As the executor, he was the first to bear the brunt of the consequences.

But in the face of his worries, the two said nothing, but hurried to the exit, and then heard the last part.

When they saw the three people show up, dozens of people surrounded them in an instant, and the security personnel had to use all their strength to barely stop them.

Various questions are launched like cannonballs.

"Justin, look here Justin, you're not going to say something?"

"Justin, Jenny accused you of indecent behavior towards her. Is this all part of the show? Can you explain?"

"Justin Timberlake, are you doing this to create hype? You want to overshadow Britney and Madonna's kiss, right?"

"Justin, what were you thinking? What prompted you to tear your clothes? What does it feel like to be slapped?"

"Hill, as the producer of this show, does MTV know the reason? Is Jenny right? Was it Justin who took the initiative?"

"Charles, as the broadcaster, what does CBS have to say about this? Is it a show or an emergency?"

Faced with these tough questions, the three have yet to come up with perfect answers.

Originally, Hill Kaufman wanted to release the rehearsal video to prove that Jenny was involved, but the accident happened because she changed her mind at the last minute and refused to cooperate.

But all this is based on the premise that one's own side first accepts the interview and expresses its views to the outside world.

The problem was that Jenny fooled him and made her own position clear: "I did participate in the rehearsal, but after the rehearsal, I felt it was inappropriate so I refused."

Then it’s normal that you have video recordings of me participating in the rehearsal. How would I know that the results would be so bad if we hadn’t rehearsed?

As for why there is only the rehearsal video but no rejection video.

Is there any need to say more?

The TV station must have hidden this part on purpose, trying to put the blame on me.

Facing two important TV stations, how much say can a small singer like me have? I can only cry alone! And once the video is released, it will bring a bigger problem.

That would be tantamount to admitting that CBS and MTV were also involved, confirming that the two TV stations took the lead in putting on vulgar performances to attract attention.

It is obviously not a wise move to trap yourself in this, so this road is a dead end.

If the video is not released, it would be even more unrealistic to force Jenny to take all the responsibility alone, given the current situation.

In the end, it will turn into a verbal battle, with everyone blaming each other.

It is uncertain who will benefit, but the most unlucky one must be Justin Timberlake, because he did it in public.

Noticing that the three were being blamed, Jenny looked over and said with pretended kindness: "Hill, Charles, we are all victims in this matter. We have all been used."

"I hope you can tell the truth and I hope you can handle this fairly."

"This is not a complicated dispute. Millions of people have seen it clearly and everyone understands what happened."

"Please don't let an innocent woman get hurt, don't let a person who wants to bring happiness to the audience suffer, please!"

Oh. This tearful plea immediately won the sympathy of all the female reporters present, as they have all suffered a certain degree of unfair treatment in the workplace.

Serious cases include sexual harassment by superiors, while minor cases include issues such as salary, working hours, and workload.

While expressing sympathy, he questioned the three grown men more sharply.

"FUCK! That bitch's disgusting expression, she's just like a she-wolf!"

Hill Kaufman cursed in his heart and was about to retort when he was hit in the back by Charles Ricklance.

After looking at the other person, Hillkaufman swallowed his words.

Charles Ricklands nodded slightly. "Jenny, Jenny is right. We have no idea why this happened. CBS and MTV did not expect it at all."

"Hill and I have very heavy hearts after what happened."

“Knowing that Jenny was about to leave, we rushed over here just to express our apologies to her.”

"Just in the conference room just now, Justin Timberlake has admitted to us that he made a mistake. He did everything on his own."

"Justin, you should apologize to Jenny and the national audience. This kind of behavior of attracting attention and traffic is completely contrary to public order and morality."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

When Jia Renzai was suddenly stabbed by his teammate, his eyes widened immediately. He was not really a fool. If he was blamed for this, he would be in trouble.

In anger, Jia Renzha pushed Charles Ricklands and yelled, "What are you talking about! What the hell are you talking about!"

"When did I ever admit my mistakes? You are framing me! We were all involved in this show. We planned it together."

"A trap! I get it, it's all a trap! You and Janet Jackson teamed up to frame me!"

"I asked to see the video, I asked to release the video of the rehearsal. This is not my fault alone."

"So you admit you were wrong, right? Justin?" The New York Times reporter keenly caught the loophole in Justin's words.

"What! No, it has nothing to do with me! I am the real victim. This has been a trap from the beginning. Everyone wants to harm me."

The scumbag Jia was both angry and anxious. The plot was going in the wrong direction. It shouldn't be like this. It should have been the three of them who framed Janet Jackson, but now the situation was reversed.

Charles Ricklands said with a heavy face: "Justin, it's not that hard to admit your mistakes. You should act like a man."

"Have some courage and say those words again to everyone, just like you did in the lounge just now."

Although Hill Kaufman didn't understand it yet, he also said, "That's right, Justin, you should act like a man and take responsibility for your actions!"

Justin Timberlake was speechless because of the two old Bidens who kept bullying him. Surrounded by reporters' criticism, he was furious.

You betrayed me and want me to take the blame. I'm not going to shoot this fucking gun anymore. It's useless for anyone to want to live.

"Justin, don't."

Bang! Sneak attack!

As soon as Charles Ricklands opened his mouth, he felt a sharp pain in his head, then his eyes went black and he fell to the ground.

After knocking down an old man in his fifties with one punch, the furious Jia Renzha aimed at Hill Kaufman next to him and said, "Don't even think about running away, you damn thing."

Another old punch was thrown, and Hill Kaufman was also knocked to the ground. He was 69 years old this year, older than Charles Ricklands.

OH!!!

The sudden fight caused even greater commotion. Security personnel hurriedly pinned down Jia Renzha, while reporters frantically pressed their shutter buttons.

Big news, this is so exciting, this Super Bowl was so damn fun to watch.

At the same time, some people advised Jenny to leave quickly to prevent the crazy Justin Timberlake from hurting her again.

Jenny had said everything she needed to say and was looking for an opportunity to get away, so she immediately pushed through the crowd, got into the car, and drove away.

On the way to the airport, cheerful laughter rang out from the Lincoln sedan.

"OMG! I really didn't expect this scene. Justin Timberlake actually dared to hit someone. He is really crazy, hahahaha."

Eric watched the secretly recorded video and said, "Wow! The force of these two punches looks quite strong. Look carefully, Hill Kaufman's cheeks are deformed."

"I think he got a concussion, at least. If it's serious, he'll have to stay in bed for several months."

"Hahaha, replay it. I need to watch it a few more times. I didn't mean to drag CBS and MTV into this, but it looks like they've learned their lesson."

Michael shook his head slightly: "Justin Timberlake's career is completely over, but it's a good thing that these two punches were thrown, confirming his mistake."

"It seems like he was really angry. He probably thought you were setting him up. He was played badly and acted like a clown the whole time. In the end, his mentality exploded."

"Definitely. I would think so too." Eric agreed.

"What surprised me was that Hill Kaufman and Charles Ricklands were so decisive in sacrificing their rooks to save their kings."

Jenny: "But this approach is the best solution for the current environment. Although they can't sacrifice me, they can sacrifice Justin Timberlake as well."

"Eric, didn't you say that someone wanted to do something big? Now the impact of this incident is probably beyond the expectations of many people."

“Even if the process may be different from what you expected, the results are not all unacceptable.”

Eric took a deep breath. "Yes, I guess that's why they suddenly turned their guns around."

"It's okay, as long as it doesn't have a negative impact on you. I'm sure a lot of media want to interview you recently, so do your best."

"Well, by the way, Eric, if you look at it this way, do we win directly?"

"Victory? You mean The Voice?"

"What else could it be? Justin is a new judge for American Idol this year. Now he's in trouble, and there's only less than a month left before the show airs. There's no time for re-recording."

“How will the audience react when this scumbag appears on the TV screen?”

"Don't even think about waiting until the show airs. I'm afraid Fox will receive a huge amount of complaints in the next few days. Isn't that equivalent to us winning?"

Michael nodded: "It seems that this war has ended early. American Idol will definitely claim compensation from Justin Timberlake."

"There are also endorsements, advertisers, and his contract company, JIVE Records. Since Superboy went solo, JIVE has spent a lot of money to promote him."

"This happened before he even made his money back. Justin Timberlake is likely to face hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation."

"You deserve it! Scum!" Eric and Jenny spat in unison.
