Chapter 341 The media bows its head

2010 2 Month 26 Day.

Christine's home in the Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles.

Kristen and her best friend Dakota Fanning were looking at the Reddit forum where Taylor and Logic had broken off in the past few days to sort out the posts in the media.

Taylor: "My father owns 3% of Big Machine Records. Logic did not notify my father or even me as a singer when they acquired Big Machine Records."

Logic: “That’s the responsibility of former Big Machine Records CEO Scott Borchetta, and it’s none of my business as the acquirer.”

Taylor: "Scott Borchetta didn't notify my father, and he didn't notify me. He must have deliberately cooperated with Logic's actions to sell my rights to someone I didn't want to sell them to."

Scott Borchetta: "In response to Tyler's post earlier today, it's time for me to come clean and make some public statements. The sale of my company is legal and compliant."

Taylor: "Logic showed his power by depriving me of the copyright to my music. He is an asshole!"

Logic: "What does deprivation mean? This is normal business behavior. I spent 3.6 million yuan."

Taylor: "Logic bought my music rights just to make me sick."

Logic: "Please reply on Twitter, it's faster. Otherwise, I'll have to look for your comments in the media."

Taylor: "I will not use Twitter to contribute to Logic's career."

Logic: "Twitter is not my company, I'm just a minority shareholder."

Taylor: "When I was in a relationship with Logic before, I found that he was a child who didn't grow up. As long as something didn't suit his mind, he would find ways to control it."

Dakota Fanning laughed after reading it: "Hahaha, I didn't expect the two of them to really quarrel in the media. It's been really hot these days."

"Yeah." Kristen replied casually, looking a little uninterested.

Dakota could see that her best friend was feeling a little depressed: "What's wrong with you? You don't look happy."

Kristen said: "Well, how should I put it? I feel that Logic has been a little alienated from me during this time. He has time to go to the UK to participate in the lawsuit with The Sun, and he is not willing to come see me."

Dakota looked shocked: "Is it the British media company owned by News Corporation?"

"Yes." Kristen said: "After The Sun exposed our relationship, he followed the Sun closely."

Dakota looked shocked: "How long has it been?"

"It's been months."

“Is News Corp. over?”

"No, they don't seem to want to make this matter a big deal, and Logic also intends to control the heat of this matter."

Dakota couldn't believe it: "That's News Corporation! Is Logic so irrational?"

Kristen said with some resentment: "Do you think he is a sane person? He spent 3.6 million yuan to acquire his ex-girlfriend's record company."

"This..." Dakota thought for a moment: "Don't you like Logic being like this? He even had a quarrel with his ex-girlfriend."

"Of course I don't like it!" Christine said: "No matter what the reason is, a man is willing to spend 3.6 million yuan to buy something of yours regardless of the loss. Do you know what this means?"

Dakota thought for a while: "This means that he loves you or hates you. In short, it can cause his mood swings, and he is an important person to him."

"That's the truth."

Kristen said angrily: "Logic directly quarreled with Taylor in the media regardless of his image. That bitch has already broken up, so why is he still pestering my boyfriend!"

new York.

Broadway Home.

Luo Ji had just returned from England after attending the trial of The Sun. I slept until 10 noon and saw the news about Taylor when I woke up in the morning.

Taylor: "When I was in a relationship with Logic before, I found that he was a child who didn't grow up. As long as something didn't suit his mind, he would find ways to control it."

Fxxk!

Luo Ji immediately couldn't restrain his anger, took out his cell phone and started writing a short composition on Twitter.

"Who is the child who never grows up? In her song, she writes about hanging out with her ex-boyfriend's friends. I am good enough to you, and we can still be good friends even if we break up. But you don't care about us at all. The friendship between us! It was you who ruined it all, you Bichi, you are the one..."

Luo Ji was halfway through writing when he stopped typing. This tweet refutes his previous statement that acquiring Big Machine Records is a normal business practice.

"Fxxk!"

Luo Ji cursed loudly, deleted the words he just typed, and began to think rationally about how to reply.

But now he couldn't think rationally at all. He hammered the bed with both hands, got up angrily and started to wash up.

Wait until you finish breakfast and replenish your energy! Maybe I'll be able to think of a more clever reply by then.

……

Thirty minutes later!

Luo Ji pushed the fried egg into his mouth with his fork, then chewed hard. The nanny was busy in the kitchen, glancing over from the corner of her eye from time to time.

Jingle Bell!

At this time, the doorbell of the villa door rang, which meant that a visitor was coming. The nanny immediately trotted over to the display and took a look.

"Mr. Logic, it's Mr. Braun visiting."

"Let him in."

Two minutes later, Braun walked to the dining table, sat down, and started questioning directly.

"Logic, you said you were going to take away Taylor's most precious possessions. Now Big Machine Records belongs to you. It was useless no matter how much I tried to persuade you. Now you and Jamie are going to England for a few days and you don't listen to my advice. , and Taylor quarreled in the media every day.”

Luo Ji took a bite of the omelette: "I was so angry. Taylor scolded me directly in the media. I couldn't bear it and so I fought back."

Braun was a little angry: "Do you know that the media's opinion of you is very bad now? The media naturally sympathizes with the disadvantaged groups. You are a record company owner, and you are a man. Taylor is a singer, and you are a woman. Now it has already happened one after another. Some singers have supported Taylor in the media, and the more you make noise, the worse it will be for your image."

Luo Ji was furious and said without hesitation: "What the hell, I don't care about any of this!"

Braun looked in disbelief: "Do you know what the media is saying about you now? They say you are a capitalist, that you are from Wall Street, that you are like those rich people who exploit the disadvantaged. What on earth do you think? You He doesn’t look like a sane person at all now.”

Luo Ji stopped eating, threw his fork aside, looked directly at Braun and said, "I'm not a rational person to begin with!"

Seeing Luo Ji's attitude, Braun softened his tone: "Logic, don't be angry, I'm on your side."

"Then you think of a way for me to respond to Taylor's interview today."

"This……"

Braun thought for a while and smiled: "Tyler attacked you for being a child and very controlling, but that's not true! The fact is that Taylor is busy with his career and rarely stays with you. Didn't you still Have you ever complained that she spends very little time with you?"

Luo Ji cursed: "Are you stupid? If you say she spends less time with me, this will lead to my cheating on Robin and having a child. Could it be that the less time she spends with me is the reason for my cheating? ? In the end, I won’t take it any further.”

"Uh...that's true." Braun shrank his neck.

"Keep thinking."

"Then just deny it and say what she said is not true. Anyway, there are no cameras to record your daily life."

"What I want is a fight back, not a denial!"

"You eat first, and I'll go out and get some fresh air. Maybe I can think of a good way to fight back."

……

Ten minutes, twenty minutes.

Luo Ji had already finished his breakfast and Braun hadn't come back yet. When I walked into the yard, I saw that Braun had run away.

M-Fxxk, what's going on?

Braun, who had already run outside, hung up the phone.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I can't convince you when you are so angry, but someone can persuade you." Braun has contacted all Luo Ji's friends. Let them do some ideological work on Luo Ji, and one of them will always be able to make sense.

…………

"Stop talking, I have to fight back. Taylor said that about me in the media, does that make me a coward?"

"Logic, please be sensible!" Xu Youyu on the other end of the phone continued: "Now go read the comments on the Internet, everyone says..."

"I won't talk to you anymore."

Luo Ji hung up the phone without hesitation. After hanging up the phone, he couldn't help but be very angry with Braun. This guy asked his friends to persuade him. It has been two hours since he finished breakfast, and his phone has not been disconnected during this time.

Yang Jian, Xu Youyu, Musk, Lin Qingji, Jamie, Zhu Haowei, Sammy, Queenie, Fiona... Even Ms. Clinton called.

However, Ms. Clinton was not contacted by Braun but took the initiative. She asked herself to calm down and not to make too much trouble, which was very unseemly.

With so many people persuading him, he felt a little pressure.

But he couldn't calm down at all. His heart was surrounded by negative emotions such as grievance, incomprehension, sadness, and anger.

"Fxxk!"

Without hesitation, Luo Ji took out his cell phone and started writing a short composition on Twitter.

"Taylor, you called me a child, and I called you the naive one."

"One of the foundations of modern civilization is business operations. My acquisition of Big Machine Records is a normal business behavior, and this is how the entire record industry operates."

"This is also one of the reasons why the American music industry is so strong. Without the investment of corporate capital, there would be no prosperous recording industry."

"If you have the capital, you can also buy my record company."

"Of course, I won't sell it because I'm not short of money. If you want to buy my record company, just pray that I go bankrupt one day!"

Four p.m.

After Luo Ji finished handling various company matters in the study room, he felt exhausted.

His work intensity was not very high during this period. He first went to Washington to stay with Psaki for a few days to calm her down. Then he went to the UK to deal with the lawsuit with The Sun.

Everything was going well, but he had never felt worse.

No matter what he encountered in the past, he could come out of it quickly. But now all kinds of negative emotions are filling his mind and cannot be dissipated for a long time, which makes him uncomfortable.

He finally understood the feelings of those who were immersed in alcohol or drugs. The bad state in reality was too unbearable.

Luo Ji walked to the kitchen, took out the red wine that Fiona occasionally drank, and took another glass. I came to the study alone, poured a large glass and took a sip.

"It doesn't taste good at all."

Luo Ji murmured to himself, and then he drank the full glass in one go. After finishing the drink, he poured himself another large glass.

Jingle bell, jingle bell!

Luo Ji was very irritated when he heard the phone ringing today. He was ready to answer the phone and curse. When I looked at the caller ID, it was Justin Bieber calling.

He hurriedly calmed down his emotions. This guy is currently one of the top electronic music records, and he is also well-known around the world.

Luo Ji still has to give some face to those who make a lot of money for themselves. Moreover, Bieber is four years younger than him and cannot lose his temper with children.

"Hey Bieber, what's up?"

"Logic, have you recently..."

Luo Ji interrupted directly: "By the way, let me explain first. If you are here to persuade Taylor and I not to quarrel in the media, then don't say it."

"Uh……"

Luo Ji said, "So, you didn't come here for what I said, right?"

"Yes...yes." Bieber stuttered a little.

"Then what do you want from me?"

Bieber thought for a while and said in a cheerful tone: "Logic, March 3st is my birthday. I want to hold a party at home to celebrate it. I hope you can come."

Luo Ji thought about his itinerary: "No problem, I will be there that day. By the way, when will the party be held?"

"Six p.m."

"Ok." Luo Ji continued, "Are you still living in the apartment?"

"No, I changed to a bigger house."

"Then you can send me the address later."

"Okay."

…………

Six p.m.

Fiona, Queenie, and Sammy came to the house to watch Luo Ji. After searching around, they found Luo Ji in the study, who was already drunk into a puddle.

Sami looked distressed and hurriedly walked over to Luo Ji and sat down, stroking his face with concern, but his son was completely drunk and in a daze.

Sammy, Fiona and Queenie could only send Luo Ji to the bedroom to let him rest. After finishing, the three of them went to the living room to sit down and rest.

Sammy looked angry: "I have never seen Feili behave like this. Fiona, please contact Taylor and ask her to restrain herself and stop provoking Feili in the media."

Fiona quickly shook her head: "I don't dare. Feili seriously warned me that I'm not allowed to tell Taylor our inside information. Feili is really angry this time, and I don't dare touch his brow."

Sami said unhappily: "Then give me Taylor's contact information and I will contact her."

Fiona did not agree: "What are you going to say? Do you plan to tell Taylor directly about Feili's current situation?"

"Of course, what else would you say?"

"What if Taylor just blows it up in the media?"

"She dares!"

"Why doesn't she dare? Haven't you seen that Taylor isn't afraid of Logic at all?"

Fiona then added: "Don't look at Taylor, who is weak and weak. Her image in the media is very gentle and polite. Taylor is actually very paranoid at heart and will not give up until he achieves his goal."

"Really?" Sami didn't believe it. Taylor was a good girl in her eyes.

"of course."

Fiona explained: "You have relatively little contact with Taylor. Her character is actually very similar to Fili, with a special kind of paranoia. Otherwise, if you think she is not very beautiful, how could she attract Fili. The characteristics of the two of them are actually very similar, and their paranoia can even be called crazy."

"This, I really don't know." Sami was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I didn't even know that Fili had this kind of trait. I always thought he was a good boy."

"Mothers generally don't understand their children's true personalities."

Queenie looked at Sami seriously: "I told you before not to interfere in Feili's affairs, but why didn't you listen? Feli is much smarter than you, and he knows what he wants more than you do. What."

"But, he is my child, and it makes me uncomfortable to see him in pain." Sami then felt extremely disappointed: "Today, I learned that he still has this side."

Queenie looked at her daughter speechlessly: "Isn't this inherited from you? You are sometimes very paranoid, even crazy. Fili told me before that in order to prevent him from leaving, you pointed a gun directly at you. Himself. He said that he could clearly feel at that time that if he left you, he would definitely shoot himself. If you bring Fili's character into yourself, you should be able to understand him. "

"Okay." Sammy continued: "But what if Taylor keeps stimulating him? You can't do it like this. Fili is in a bad state now."

A smile appeared on Fiona's face: "I've already let someone handle it, so don't worry."
