America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM...

Chapter 236, Section 235: Don't underestimate singers!

Rellant Stadium, Houston.

Snapped!

A crisp slap echoed throughout the room.

More than 40,000 spectators in the stands and in the center of the field heard the sound clearly and saw the scene even more clearly on the big screen.

Everyone was stunned and dumbfounded. They looked at each other, speechless with shock at this spectacle.

This is the Super Bowl, often referred to as the American equivalent of the Spring Festival Gala, the number one program watched by over 80 million people simultaneously.

Can you imagine the damage that a sudden, dramatic confrontation could cause on the Spring Festival Gala? The consequences are simply unimaginable.

On stage, Justin Black was clearly stunned by the slap. He covered his face with one hand, his eyes wide open, and just stood there dumbfounded, looking at Jenny.

Jia Renzha's eyes were filled with incomprehension, astonishment, anger, and speechlessness; he was completely bewildered.

Faced with such a complex and unexpected situation, his mind was in complete disarray.

"Wait a minute, this isn't right! It wasn't like this during rehearsal! We agreed that I would tear my clothes, so why?"

"What the hell! What did that slap mean? What does this bitch want?"

"She actually dared to slap me! Good heavens! She actually dared to slap me in front of everyone!"

"FUCK! What am I thinking? What should I do? What should I say?"

"Damn it! What's with that expression? Why do you look so angry and embarrassed? Wasn't this part of the plan?"

"The audience saw it all, what does this mean? Can anyone tell me? Someone's trying to frame me! What should I do?"

Jia Renzha's thoughts were incredibly chaotic, jumping from one idea to another.

Just like a man about to ejaculate, desperately trying to recall a few terrifying or disgusting images to suppress his desire, but these images always flash by so quickly that he can't grasp the main point.

In contrast, Jenny's expression was quite intriguing.

She clutched her torn bra tightly with one hand, her face filled with grievance, astonishment, confusion, and shame, as if she had suffered a great humiliation.

The contrast in their expressions, coupled with the dance moves they had just performed, especially Jia the scumbag's clothes-tearing action, was striking.

The impression given is that the woman was assaulted and subjected to violence, and in her extreme anger, she finally lost control and was forced to slap the other person.

Eric glanced at the expressions of the surrounding audience; everyone was utterly astonished. Carol was pinching her thigh hard, as if only in this way could she convince herself that what was happening before her eyes was not an illusion.

Not to mention them, even Mike next to him had the same expression.

"I'll teach him a lesson he won't forget!"

Suddenly, that phone call came to mind; those were the last words Jenny said.

She didn't say how she was going to teach Jia a lesson, which seems like she was already showing him who she was going to get.

"Cool!"

Eric roared inwardly, thinking, "That slap was well done, a perfect strike. It's revenge for the girl who was hurt by that scumbag transvestite."

But while he enjoyed himself, a whole host of follow-up issues flashed through Eric's mind.

Although Jenny appears to be the victim based on the situation at the scene, and her retaliation could be considered legitimate self-defense, it was, after all, the Super Bowl, a public event.

The Republicans are currently looking for an opportunity to make a major change to the bill, and if this opportunity is exploited, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Even if you acted in self-defense, anyone who wants to find fault with you can still find a reason.

The key now is to take the initiative. We must first express our position through the media and stand on the moral high ground.

"What do you want to do! Why are you tearing my clothes!"

Jenny let out a sharp accusation, then turned and left, covering her face, without giving Jia, the scumbag, a chance to defend himself.

"What! No... I didn't."

Beep!

"Cut the screen! Quickly cut the screen! There's still sound, cut it off!"

The director roared angrily, and the staff who realized what was happening quickly looked away, hoping to salvage the situation.

Jia, that scoundrel, failed to convey a single word of his explanation. Enraged, he slammed the microphone on the ground and chased after Jenny.

He was thinking that he had to clarify the matter as soon as possible, and he couldn't take the blame for this.

But to the audience, it was like, "Holy crap! You actually want to continue assaulting Jenny? You've got some nerve! You really don't respect tens of thousands of us!"

"Jenny! He's catching up! Run!"

"FUCK! Has Justin gone mad? He's absolutely insane!"

"Stop him! Are you just going to stand there and watch? Go and stop this guy!"

"Pervert, Justin is a pervert!"

In the stands, the shouts of the audience almost lifted the stadium upside down. Some angrily cursed Jia as a scumbag, while others urged the bewildered security guards to step in and help.

Someone reminded Jenny to run, and another hot-tempered guy angrily wanted to go inside and take matters into his own hands.

Hearing the shouts, Jenny turned around and saw Justin rushing towards her. She quickly fled towards the escape route.

Chasing after Jia was one thing, not chasing him was another; he felt like crying but had no tears left. Even if it wasn't excrement, it was still excrement.

He approached a staff member and asked them to turn on their microphone to explain, but no one dared to do so without the director's orders.

Behind them, the executives from CBS and MTV stared at the screen with grim expressions.

"Hill, what's going on? Can you give me an explanation?"

"You're asking me? Who should I ask? We were all there during rehearsals. It was Janet Jackson who didn't follow the script; she made the decision on her own."

"A decision made on her own? I don't think so. She doesn't have the guts. Do you think Janet Jackson would dare offend us?"

"Charles, there's no point in discussing this now. Didn't you notice the enthusiastic crowd? We need to figure out a way to handle this quickly."

What are your thoughts?

"First, calm the audience down and get the team back to the game to shift their focus. At the same time, I need to find Janet Jackson and Justin; I need their cooperation."

"Justin will definitely cooperate, but what about Janet Jackson?"

"Let's persuade her to leave the stadium first. We can't let her give any media interviews and talk nonsense. We need to take the initiative."

"That's just your assumption. What if she doesn't cooperate?"

"Then put pressure on her. A complete ban from both TV stations, and she can forget about ever participating in the Grammys again. I don't believe Janet Jackson isn't scared!"

On set, the cameraman looked towards where Eric and Mike were, only to realize that in the blink of an eye, they had disappeared.

The two had already returned to the car, and Mike was on the phone with his sister.

"Jenny, you acted impulsively. Where are you now?"

"Michael, now is not the time to say such things. If they want to sacrifice me, they should be prepared to be killed in return."

"I know, but things have gotten too big of a mess now. What are you planning to do?"

"I don't know, but Hillkaufman called me and told me to go home and not to do any media interviews. He said they would handle it."

"But I don't trust him at all. I ruined their plans, and he'll definitely retaliate."

"By the way, didn't Eric come with you? Is he here?"

"I'm with Jenny, do you need any advice?" Eric asked.

"Yes, it's best to have a reliable suggestion."

"The best advice is not to listen to their nonsense. The more they try to keep you from speaking, the more you should speak up first."

"Moreover, you need to steer the issue toward women's rights, women's oppression, and women's discrimination. Only then can you gain public sympathy and increase your chances of winning."

"Jenny, agree to their request first, and give an interview as soon as you come out. My car is outside the stadium, and the exit is blocked by reporters. Many people are waiting for you to show up."

Jenny nodded and said, "I understand."

Eric suddenly chuckled: "Also, I must commend you, you did a fantastic job! How did that slap feel?"

"Very comfortable, hahaha. How was my acting? You, the great director, give me your opinion."

"Oscar level, I'd give you an Oscar, especially for your expression, it was absolutely perfect."

"Really? Actually, I've practiced many times in secret. Don't underestimate a singer's acting skills."

"Of course, your brother is the founder of MV."

MV is an abbreviation for Music Video.

Anything related to film requires the performers to have a certain level of acting skills.

So don't underestimate the value of a steamed bun, and don't underestimate the value of a singer.

Outside the Reilant Stadium, a large number of media reporters were waiting.

Although the match was exciting, no one cared anymore; everyone's attention was focused on the slap.

"No, I still can't get in touch with Janet Jackson's manager; her phone is switched off."

"Me too, I can't get in touch with her. Her makeup artist and stylist are also switched off."

"What should we do? Keep waiting?"

"Wait! We'll wait until she comes out, no matter what. We haven't seen her leave from any of the exits, so she must still be inside."

"Are you sure it was an accident?"

"Haha... Whether it is or not, it has definitely surpassed the hype of last year's 'Kiss of the Century,' and Justin Blake's wish has come true."

The "kiss of the century" that reporters are discussing here took place at last year's MTV Awards.

Britney Spears and Madonna, as guest performers, shared a passionate kiss during their performance.

It wasn't a simple, fleeting kiss, but a deep, seductive, and provocative one, almost to the point of entanglement.

The camera also showed Jia Renzha sitting in the audience, and he could only watch with a livid face. No one knew what Jia Renzha was thinking at that moment.

Therefore, some reporters even speculated that today's scene was orchestrated by Jia himself, hoping to overshadow his ex-girlfriend.

wow...

"She's here! Janet Jackson is out! Camera, get the camera on her!"

Suddenly, the crowd stirred, and the reporters, carrying their cameras and microphones, charged forward, instantly breaking through the security lines.

Dozens of microphones were practically shoved into Jenny's mouth.

"Jenny, what exactly happened with that slap? Please give everyone an explanation."

"Jenny, what exactly happened? Was this part of the plan or an accident?"

"Jane Jackson, why did you attack Justin Timberlake? Was it for attention? Was it to promote your new album?"

"Jane Jackson, have you considered the consequences of that slap? Hitting someone in front of everyone, don't you think it has a negative impact on the children?"

Jenny pressed her palm down, signaling everyone to calm down.

Her face still showed shame and indignation: "Please be quiet, please be quiet. I know what you want to ask, and I will give a unified explanation now."

"First of all, this was not an accident. I mean, it wasn't a performance mishap, or rather, it wasn't part of the performance content."

"I think everyone has seen that ever since Justin Black came to power, he has always wanted to get close to me."

"And as you can see, their purpose in getting close to me was to tear my clothes and expose my breasts."

"Everyone knows what kind of terrible impact it would have if it were really exposed."

"So I've been trying to avoid it; I didn't want this to happen, but I never expected that I still couldn't prevent it in the end."

"I never expected Justin Din Black to dare to tear it twice in a row, especially after the performance was over."

"That's why I couldn't control my emotions, I hit him, that's how it is."

"I'm angry, I'm ashamed. Should women have to endure this kind of injustice? Should women expose themselves to gain attention? Should women have to please others in this way?"

"This is an insult, I absolutely refuse to accept it!"

Following Eric's advice, Jenny shifted the focus of the conflict to the issues of women's status and power.

In the United States, the women's rights movement began to emerge and flourish in the mid-19th century, and has never declined to this day.

Many people think that feminism has only emerged in recent years, but this idea is wrong.

By the 1990s, we had actually entered the era of the third feminist movement.

It's just that there was no internet before, so the relevant information didn't spread to the other side of the ocean, but the tactics and technology have already changed two generations.

More than a decade later, the feminist movement has evolved into its fourth generation, influencing fields closely related to ordinary people, such as games, movies, paintings, and stage plays.

But if you think that's scary, you're wrong.

Compared to the third generation, the power of the fourth generation of feminist movements has actually weakened rather than increased.

One point alone is enough to illustrate that the third-generation feminist movement has brought down many political heavyweights and business executives, and has propelled many women to important positions in parliament.

Although 2004 marked ten years since the start of the third generation of feminism, its peak had passed but its influence remained strong, and few fools dared to spout nonsense on such a topic.

So when Jenny said that, the reporters immediately became cautious and carefully chose their words when asking questions.

An ABC reporter asked, "Jenny, do you mean you didn't know beforehand that Justin Black would do something so indecent?"

Jenny hesitated for a moment: "I have to tell you, Justin Din Black did make the suggestion; he wanted to create some big, sensational news."

"We rehearsed it, but I wasn't satisfied with the results, so I ultimately rejected the suggestion."

"I just didn't expect him to be so bold as to act recklessly without my consent."

"So it's all Justin Black's fault? Do the NFL, CBS, and MTV know anything about this?" a reporter continued to press.

Jenny had anticipated this problem. Although CBS and MTV were also involved, after careful consideration, Jenny decided to exclude both television stations.

She is just one person, and it is unwise for her to offend two television stations at the same time; it would seriously damage her career.

Be a man to stay on the line and meet each other in the future.

It would be enough to vent my anger by ruining Justin Timberlake, that scumbag.

"No, they were unaware of it. We are all victims. I hope everyone will not misunderstand anyone and will not take their anger out on innocent people."

As soon as Jenny finished speaking, Jia Renzha and the heads of the two TV stations rushed over and looked at each other in bewilderment.
