Chapter 1439 There Are Always Those Who Are Disappointed

Compared with William White's struggles, Somi's life was a bit bitter. Although Howard Stringer's arrival has changed some stubborn problems, this guy's luck doesn't seem to be very good.

With the death of Somi's founder, such a vibrant company suddenly seemed to have lost its soul.

"How is it? Is there any possibility of cooperation?" Yamadakura was speechless in response to the boss's inquiry. You are also fanciful. The relationship between the two families is so bad, how can there be any cooperation?

“Boss, not so good. I never got a chance to meet William White.

I have met Ms. Kinski, but I don’t know if it’s true or not. Spider-Man’s live-action movie has already been launched, and we seem to be a little late.

I just asked someone to check with the Editors Guild, and I don’t know the result yet. However, our other requests have also been rejected, and they are not even interested in listening to the quotation. "

"Damn, why is this happening?" Even though he said this, Howard Stringer knew it very well. The two companies originally had a lot of complementarities. Even if they weren't a perfect match, there wouldn't be any big obstacles to making money through cooperation.

It's a pity that I really can't understand the Japanese head. Why should you insist on something that is not necessary?

William White knew exactly what he wanted. But it was precisely because of the clarity that he understood a fact. It is impossible for Somi to give up the music format of MD, nor to join the so-called high-definition alliance of DVD.

This attempt was just a desperate test. In fact, not only Colombian Somi is interested, Hollywood giants have finally recognized the value of IP.

But when these guys looked around, they suddenly discovered that a large number of comic characters were in the hands of William White.

"Yamada-kun, how are the CD releases in Japan this year? I heard that AVEX and EMI are making big moves."

Yamadakura was somewhat disapproving of the boss's question. The Japanese record market is relatively niche. Selling one million copies is outrageous, but so what if it sells one million copies? It's just one thing in the world.

"Boss, they are just two female singers. Due to the sluggish record market, these two have not released new records for a while.

I feel that AVEX and EMI are very stupid. They are basically on the same level and have some overlap in their fans. They need to spread out the release time of new albums appropriately so as not to interfere with each other. "

Howard Stringer still somewhat agrees with Yamadakura's statement. But this was not what he paid attention to. As the legendary MP3 continued to fill the screen, he had a vague feeling of ominousness. When your thing was just a technical exchange, it severely hit the record industry. Now that it is officially commercialized, the consequences may be even more serious.

The most ridiculous thing is that the so-called music mall does not have any singers under Somi Music.

Digitalization and virtualization of records is a trend, and this will not change because of Suomi's preferences. He even vaguely noticed that the current MTV has also reduced the appearance rate of Suomi's singers.

If that's all, they don't care. Suomi has his own music station, and even if it is not as good as MTV, it still has some die-hard fans.

But if you turn your attention to the Internet, Suomi's weakness is too obvious.

William White extended an olive branch, but you rejected it. Because you own numerous music copyrights, you take it for granted that William White will be the one who ultimately chooses to compromise.

Unfortunately, you seem to have overlooked an issue. He was a very, very rich man. Somi Music was great, but EMI and BMG were not bad either. Today's record market is in a trough, but isn't this a good opportunity for acquisition?

Yes, the old guy was indeed right. William White certainly had this idea. The previous acquisition of music copyrights is very illustrative of the problem.

Or, after this guy gathers these resources, the sales volume of physical records may drop to a very low level. From now on, it won’t be about hundreds of millions. If you are over 10 million, you will definitely be a singer at the level of king and queen.

"Boss, the initial contact was not successful."

"Unexpected and reasonable." William White shrugged disapprovingly. These guys haven't given up yet, so of course they will be more entangled. Old records don't matter, these things can be sold for money, but they are just waste. But for those signed singers, such a change is a disaster.

"So, let's put it aside for now. The record company is about to face a cold winter. If we don't sell it now, it will only be lower in the future.

If they have no grudge against money, they will compromise sooner or later. "William White doesn't care about the current situation. Under his repeated blows, Suomi's strength is far inferior to that of his previous life. In this way, what qualifications do they have to participate in the competition.

Although the various MP3 players on the street will affect Legend's sales, the rapidly increasing market share will inevitably have an impact on the existing market. He remembered clearly that after the new millennium, there were no more hit records.

"By the way, Natasha, what does Colombia say? Are these guys dreaming?"

Natasha rolled her eyes, since you don't plan to sell, why bother teasing others. Besides, leave this boring thing to me, what do you think? “They have a lot on their minds, or they’re a little hungry.

I also heard that they are also in contact with other comic companies. "

"Um, others? Except for us, well, they are planning to buy the license for Japanese comics.

Humph, they are so beautiful, if I can't give them some trouble, I would really feel sorry for them. "

William White doesn't care about the film adaptation rights of Japanese comics. Huh, if there wasn't a comic book modification system, you'd think it would be so simple. Just watch Superman and you will understand. The IP is certainly very good, but is it interesting?

The big screen and cartoons are different. If it is just a simple copy, William White is very much looking forward to them playing themselves to death.

Seeing the joking look on this guy's face, Natasha was speechless. I really don’t understand, do you and the Japanese have such a big hatred?

It shouldn't be the case. There is one thing that many people cannot deny. William White's three views are very correct. You can see from his employment system that there are no taboos on race or belief here.

Even the Japanese have very complicated feelings for this guy. In the eyes of many ordinary Japanese, William White has absolutely no prejudice against them. Because from the very beginning, this guy chose Japan as his partner.

It's a pity that those damn bastards started anew.

It seems that he was the first to choose to betray. So, isn't it normal that people don't like Japanese companies now?
