Chapter 1002 Ibiza Island

Spain, Ibiza, listening to the Chillout music that originated here, Song Ya opened the curtains, looked at the party crowd by the hotel swimming pool, and remained silent.

"Aren't you going to relax?"

Ms. Sloane came in and asked, "It's a nice atmosphere downstairs."

"No."

Song Ya turned her head and saw that she had put on a tropical shirt, which was rare, and was still holding a glass of cocktail in her hand. She must have just played around at the party. So she casually picked up the bow she had tied with the hem of her shirt and joked, "Such a slender and beautiful waistline... It shouldn't have been hidden in your professional suit before, it's a waste of money."

"I'm not young anymore, APLUS. The atmosphere here..."

Ms. Sloan enjoyed it very much. She twisted her waist and took a sip of the wine comfortably. "It's really the ultimate freedom and indulgence. Even my emotions are hard to avoid being infected."

"Ha, since you're so interested, let's go to the nude beach over there? It's not far." Song Ya smiled.

"I don't care, let's go." Ms. Sloan put down her glass, not cowardly at all.

"Forget it."

Then Song Ya had no choice but to persuade, "Just kidding."

"It turned out that the owners of this hotel were David Geffen, George Michael, and friends of the late Queen's lead singer Freddy. They were all present when the hotel first opened in 1984. I saw a group photo at that time on the bar's photo wall. said Sloan.

"Although the carnival atmosphere here is invincible, it is also a high-risk area for HIV. In the group photo you see in the bar, there are many celebrities, such as Freddy, who have died of HIV and drug abuse one after another in recent years. They are here Dare to play and try anything.”

Song Ya reminded her.

"Of course I know."

Ms. Sloan came over with a smile and looked out the window side by side with him, "But it's a bit disappointing to say this now...Forget it, let's talk about the business, William Morris just got Wesley Snipes, and Xue Linfen's photographer's ex-boyfriend."

"Well, Hayden called me to take credit after the IRS tracked down Wesley."

Song Ya nodded, "It's just a small trouble, but it's not bad, at least the situation is improving."

"By the way, who do you think was responsible for the series of snapshots leaked by the Spanish media? Ovitz?"

Sloan asked: "Does he have a motive? With David Geffen, Philip Anschutz, and maybe you at the same time as Eisner was rumored to be kicked out of Disney immediately... Show strength."

"David Geffen has it too, don't forget that the reporter who exposed his art collection just died in a car accident...he is also a bit burnt out at the moment."

It was supposed to be a very secret meeting, but it was made full of loopholes by an insider. Song Ya was a little angry but didn't want to waste his brain cells guessing who was the culprit. "Actually, they can also suspect me. It's not that I don't have a motive for doing this, yes Sloan."

"Well, maybe that's why everyone has their own troubles."

Sloan said with a smile: "How was the conversation with Ovitz just now? Now that the secret meeting between you and him has been exposed by the media, how do you plan to explain it to the Disney Emperor?"

"Ovitz is no longer the agent who will stand on the table and dance to please clients. He can't let go of his figure, although his words are still very deceptive..."

Song Ya and Ovitz talked a lot, and their respective external environments have deteriorated rapidly compared with the last meeting, and there is a basis for hugging each other. After all, there are only three possible next homes for A+ Records, Warner, Universal and Disney, and Ovitz was the first to take the initiative to invite to Disney, and participate in the establishment of a record company that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the big six. The temptation is for the ambitious self. After all, it is not small.

but……

Ovitz is unwilling to give advice or help out of trouble without a clear guarantee. Song Ya knows that the former boss of the first brokerage company is the best potential helper to solve his current troubles, but if neither party sees the rabbit Spread the eagle, mutual trust is out of the question.

"Where's David Geffen?"

"David Geffen's first choice is A+ Records and DreamWorks Records merger,

The second choice is to sign a contract with A+ Records from Geffen Records, a subsidiary of Universal Music. but……"

Song Ya paused, "He offered 60 million on behalf of Universal to get 50% of the A+ record, which is only a little bit stronger than Quincy Jones's offer to Warner, and David Geffen is also here Get some personal benefits from the acquisition. Then give me a personal signing fee of about 30 million."

"120 million or 150 million is not acceptable to me. I am a superstar who has two diamond albums. Fergie's two albums and the two original soundtracks of Dance Out of My Life and Cat and Mouse Game Platinum, Brenda’s platinum album sales, Jazzy’s and FoxBrown’s first albums are all stable above the platinum line according to the current trend. If Al’s first album is not counted, Common also has a gold record and has excellent music reviews. All of these are in line with Sony’s ATV Music Copyright Company shares half of the copyright."

"In addition, A+ Records also has the complete record copyright of Old Joe's music, including a part of Little Lowry's first album. If it is replaced by a relatively old record company, the valuation can easily exceed 200 million, even if the record industry is not good now. Boom."

"A+ Records also has a whole floor with three recording studios, which of course I'll divest when the time comes."

How could the record empire I built with my own hands be willing to hand it over to others so easily? This is all apocalypse cheats, my exclusive rewards from apocalypse cheats! Not to mention the good songs of the apocalypse in the past few years, now A+ Records has Beyoncé, Jazzy, Fergie, William Adams and other contracted singers who will obviously be popular in the future. Both are bargains as buyers are unlikely to pay a premium for the 'future'.

"Owning your own record company and only giving distribution rights to big companies is something that many white singers, even superstars, dare not think about APLUS."

Ms. Sloan persuaded, "The reason why this phenomenon is more common in the rap circle, I think you understand the truth better than me. In the eyes of early record industry executives, rap music was a mosquito that couldn't sell many records. Legs, and rappers from the bottom have street violence as a check and balance weapon, executives are too lazy to put in a lot of effort and don’t want to take too much personal risk to suppress and control. That’s why MC can achieve historic achievements under various circumstances, but…”

He continued: "From him to you, and then to Death Row Records, rap music has gradually risen in the past few years. Even if you are not a pure rapper, then 2PAC is always right? According to the trend after his death, the album will definitely be sold during his lifetime. The diamond line is over, and no executive will take hip-hop labels lightly anymore. People with their own record labels, such as Su Ge Knight, isn't the current situation your best warning?"

"I know, I know, I just feel..."

Song Ya muttered to herself, "I can be that exception, I have worked hard for it, those political and business relations..."

"You need the help of a big company, APLUS, if the storm of public opinion continues like this, you are likely to pass away soon like Paula Abdul. I asked Linda to do a questionnaire survey a few days ago. The result is that compared with the first half of the year, Your dislike in the eyes of the American public has skyrocketed."

Sloan persuaded: "Judging from Mr. Philip Anschutz's attitude, Anschutz can even accept that you will not be popular in Beimi, and just agreed to our request to reduce the burden of next year's tour and reduce the number of Beimi shows. This deal is over. They can talk about it depending on the situation.”

"It doesn't really matter to me, I can retreat behind the scenes."

Song Ya really doesn't care about this, the task of the recording industry to earn a pot of gold for the time traveler has been perfectly achieved, and now he is not even the largest proportion of his own assets, "But I don't want to share half of the future with others."

"Half of the future?" No matter how smart Ms. Sloan was, she couldn't understand the determination of the owner of the apocalypse cheat.

"literal meaning."

Song Ya waved her hand, she didn't want to explain anymore, and she couldn't explain it to others.

There was a knock on the door, "Mr. Les Garland." Old Mike said outside.

"Come in! Hello, Les."

For the Paramount department that is currently suppressing itself, the most important thing in the mind of the parent company Viacom boss Lei Shidong is his investment courage, artistic vision, media influence and the witness of his career take-off: MTV.

What Paramount, Simon & Schuster Publishing House, and Blockbuster were all later leveraged buyouts with large capitals, and industries such as theaters are his father’s legacy and brilliant transcripts. Only MTV has accompanied and supported them all the way. It is an open secret that he has evolved from the second-generation ancestor of the movie theater chain to a media tycoon. There is no business under his banner that can compare.

Moreover, large companies such as Paramount, Simon & Schuster, and Blockbuster have not been acquired by Viacom for a few years. During the period when Shantou was playing power games, only MTV was the only one who really instructed and personally intervened. He may have met with this MTV executive, Les Garland, more times than Paramount president Shirley Lansing.

"Why did the photos of our meeting get exposed by the media!"

Unlike himself, David Geffen, and Ovitz, who have different motives, being exposed by the media in Ibiza will only bring negative effects to senior wage earners like Les Garland, and he is now quite angry.

"It has nothing to do with me."

Believe it or not, Song Ya wants to get rid of it anyway, and it is true that he did not do it by himself, so he is confident.

"Then let's finish what we want to talk about quickly. I will fly back to the United States tomorrow."

Les Garland said. He has a good relationship with Motura, but this meeting was ordered by the big boss himself after William Morris managed to contact Redstone, and he had to come.

"Less, that's the same thing, we want to make peace." Ms. Sloan lowered her posture on her behalf.

"I'm just a producer on MTV." Les Garland shrugged.

"You played black material prepared by Motura to suppress APLUS in a funny show." Ms. Sloan reminded.

"The scene of the car accident at the concert? What is this? You are not a singer APLUS who relies entirely on singing skills, and has even begun to develop into a singing and dancing artist. This is not a big problem for you. You must have an entertaining spirit." Les Garland De said.

"But at this point in time? You have become participants in the conspiracy." Sloan pressed.

Les Garland waved his hand impatiently, "I don't know, and I don't want to hear any conspiracy theories. Many artists always think that it's because the whole world is murdering them, but it's just...the audience's tastes have changed."

"Don't worry about it, Rice, I have a lot of respect for Mr. Redstone. Uh, maybe I'm not that active in participating in your MTV activities, but I think I have done my part over the years. I don't know Pai La Why would Montenegro smear me so intensively like it is now? This is unreasonable and inconsistent with Mr. Redstone’s interests, right? Viacom does not play in the record industry, and I do not refuse to cooperate with Paramount in the future. Collaborate in Hollywood." Song Ya said.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Les Garland replied: "Well, since the big boss asked me to come, then I will be responsible for helping you bring the news, that's all."

"Just for you to come?" Sloane asked.

"Just let me do it." Les Garland nodded.

"Oh well……"

Both Song Ya and Sloan looked at each other in disappointment, "Thank you for your hard work, please tell Mr. Lei Shidong for us..."
