Chapter 1092? The Collapse of the Empire
"This year's Legend Award winner is: APLUS!"
At the Grammy Awards Ceremony (the time is a bit wrong considering the plot), Fergie took the card in Dre's hand, choked up and read out the award winners, and the mixed cuts of many "famous songs" by APLUS sounded, and the big screen behind Started flashing back photos of his childhood, concert photos, stills, etc. His voice and smile.
The stars and audience in the audience applauded enthusiastically, and their eyes and expressions accurately showed incomparable pain and regret.
Fergie opened her arms to Linda, who was accepting the award on her behalf, and the two hugged affectionately for a long time...
"Uh...thank you to the Council of the Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences for presenting this award to APLUS."
Linda took over Song Ya's fourth Grammy gold record player from Derry. She knew that APLUS and his ex-wife had already fallen out with Grammy, and she also knew that Grammy had other considerations for this award, but this is a legend. Award, at the age of 22, she won the same honor as MJ, Quincy Jones, Barbra Streisand, and Lloyd Webber. If she misses it, APLUS does not know if there will be a second chance in this life. After hesitation, she still comes up.
"Hi, MC..."
She waved to her ex-employer in the audience. Now that she thinks about it, although the MC has made all the money, she is still alive and kicking! From this point of view, it seems to be stronger than APLUS?
Her thoughts were a little confused, and everyone waited patiently, "I'm sorry, I'm just, just a little emotional... APLUS is a great artist. I know that some media call him the brightest shooting star in the 90s, but I personally don't agree, because... because he still has the possibility of waking up..."
After reading the award speech while crying, she took the golden record player and walked off the stage mournfully amidst even more enthusiastic applause.
Then came the performances of other stars, the world does not revolve around a certain person, the sad atmosphere on the stage is fleeting, cheers and whistles, applause for the next person.
"Linda! Linda!"
Fergie chased up from behind, "It's time to give me the title song of the new album!"
"You record the other songs on the album first."
Linda replied impatiently.
"Did you write about APLUS!? You won't be lying to me all the time, right?" Fergie asked.
"Listen! White girl!"
Linda turned around suddenly, and pushed Fergie back against the wall with the strength of a black aunt, "Don't be dissatisfied! He is good enough for you! He praises you, writes songs for you, what penny do you live in now? He didn't get it!" She cursed in a gaffe: "He left you a song, I'll keep it, and I'll give it to you when it's time, don't M-FXXK keep annoying me!"
"snort!"
Fergie turned her face away, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, Geffen Records is going crazy right now, and will go to you soon to find his posthumous work."
"Shut up! APLUS is not dead yet!"
As Fergie said, as soon as Linda returned to Chicago, Doug Morris, president of Universal Music, brought someone to the door.
"We gave APLUS a signing fee of 60 million yuan, and bought 50% of this company for 80 million yuan. Linda, do you understand how much money this is?"
Doug Morris said angrily.
"CNA insurance company said that it will pay for your losses if APLUS can't wake up." Linda replied.
"That wasn't enough...and now we're the unlucky bastards laughed at by the world, and Sony Columbia Records is making a lot of money selling his old songs!"
Doug Morris gave an ultimatum: "In short, you must hand over the APLUS song today, or we will fire you."
"You have no right to do that."
Linda frowned, "A+ Records is certainly your label, but the management right is in the hands of APLUS."
"You really want to be an enemy of our world!?"
Doug Morris ordered the men he brought, "You guys can use force handoffs, make sure all financial handoffs are done before that.
"
"security guard!"
Linda had seen this kind of scene before when she was working under the MC, she was completely unafraid, and called the black security guard of A+ records into the president's office loudly, "These customers want to steal something, please leave the company."
The two sides, who had been laughing and laughing at the Chicago Symphony Center in early January, now have a violent confrontation with clear distinctions.
"etc."
Doug Morris didn't trick Linda, "You all go out, let me talk to her alone."
His attitude immediately softened and turned into a lure, "You are just a senior manager Linda, your career does not need to be completely tied to A+ records, give us all the completed and unfinished song drafts of APLUS, let us take advantage of it now The heat is still there, send him an album, I promise, you will be the vice president of Universal Music in the second half of the year... There is also an option, this is our agreement."
"What am I afraid of? I don't care about any vice president. APLUS is like that, and my sustenance is gone. At worst, I will be a director of the association in the future like Gordon."
Linda smiled relievedly, "I'll wait for him to wake up, if he doesn't wake up, I'll resign myself."
"He owes us five years, two plus one!"
"That's right, let's wait for five years. If the lawyers have not exhausted all the money he repaid by then, he will pay you liquidated damages. Besides, there are insurance companies... Of course, you'd better hope that he can wake up as soon as possible and continue to perform his duties." contract."
"M-FXXK don't mention any insurance company to me!"
Doug Morris was so angry that he jumped up and walked around the room. After a few big circles, he let go, "At least get out the title song of Fergie and Mira first?"
"Those damn white girls are lying on APLUS and sucking blood!" Linda is now angry when she hears about Fergie and Mira.
"That little pervert volunteered! Who is to blame!? Damn it! Give it to me quickly! Mira's football stunner and new album have already been released in March, because APLUS is the male lead, and Columbia Pictures will forcefully catch up with the popularity." Released before Mira's Anaconda disaster! They don't want to wait for Mira's new album, and the new album has to be released at the same time as the movie, you know? The loss of the title song is our Universal and your A+ record !"
Doug Morris roared.
"Damn white girl..."
This is a normal business, Linda cursed but compromised, and took out the two song manuscripts that she had prepared a long time ago from the drawer. After finishing the draft of the song left by APLUS, she chose the CopyCat by Song Ya Tianqi when Mira satirized Fergie following the wind ghost, and she thought it was the right one.
"So they do exist?" Doug Morris felt much better and reached for it.
"You know the rigorous style of APLUS, and his outstanding white people can't compare." Linda refused to let him succeed, "Just let Fergie and Mira record the song."
"OK, I'll have them come to Chicago right away, but me and the Geffen Records guys are going into the studio to watch."
"no problem."
Meanwhile, in Hollywood, the office of the president of A+ Film Studios.
"Listen, Yeremov! Hurry up and get the 10 million this month! Otherwise, you won't be in Hollywood in the future! I don't care if you are Jewish or not!"
Twentieth Century Fox president Bill McKennick was yelling at him.
Without the support of his boss, Yeremov trembled under the anger of the other party, "But...But Director Cameron didn't reach our previous agreement, the Titanic summer file can't be started, you have already breached the contract..."
"Money! Money! We need the damn money in your hand!" Bill McKennick continued to shout: "I don't care if I break the contract or not!"
"You should protect APLUS, he saved you...and you let him be shot..."
"What's the use of saying this now!? I'm not a roundworm in the gunner's belly! You fucking sign it for me! Who do you think you are?! You are nothing Eremov! I will endure you for a long time , I’ve been meaning to say this for a long time.”
"I'm no longer the little Xuanfa..."
"Stop rambling, sign it, I know what you want, and a commission will be transferred to an anonymous bank account on a small island later."
"I'm not……"
"Do you fucking sign it or not!?"
"Okay, I'll sign, I'll sign..."
And at Northern Trust headquarters, Hamlin is visiting O'Grady.
"APLUS is in this situation now, we want to convert his stock in you into a safer investment method."
Hamlin put the relevant documents on O'Grady's desk.
"No." O'Grady, wearing a baseball glove, threw the ball into the sky and caught it.
Hamlin was taken aback, "I'm not here to discuss with you, I'm here to inform you."
"No!"
"We're not going to transfer APLUS's money out of Northern Trust's management, but to other investment products." Hamlin held back his breath and continued.
"No!"
"Don't you read the file?"
"No!"
"Patience is limited O'Grady." Hamlin said coldly.
O'Grady tilted his head while playing with the ball and glanced at the document, "Without the signature of APLUS, you have no right to move those stocks."
"Goodman and I are responsible for his A+ copyright and asset management company. These stocks are under the management of the company. We are lawyers, O'Grady, and we will not come to you rashly." Hamlin said.
"You only have management rights, but not custody rights, stocks worth hundreds of millions, huh? You think I won't stare at them?" O'Grady laughed.
"Well, let's make a deal."
"No!"
"Listen, our asking price is..."
"No!"
Watching Hamlin leave without finding anything, O'Grady took off his baseball glove, "Ms. Sloan, it's me, they started to attack my side..."
University of Chicago Medical Center, intensive care unit, "I'm so tired, Mike." Sloan finally showed his fatigue in front of outsiders, "Yongdao's Samuel and Song Asheng have sent me warnings several times, Goodman They have been working secretly with Hamlin for a long time, they frequently meet with the wolf of Wall Street, Carl Icahn and others, and use APLUS money to buy the junk stocks they secretly acquired, the mouse moved..."
She looked at the sunset outside the window distressedly and confided: "I know you are from New Mexico just like the two of them, but I am willing to trust you and can't go on like this... APLUS is very shrewd. He asked Morningstar to help build a series of management The system and the checks and balances of senior managers are also very strict. But those people always have a way... Mike, who always has a way, Riise, the president of A+ Liquor, suddenly signed a long-term exclusive underwriting contract with Seagram, and Scout of A+ Apparel also started Being close to the old owner Sears Department Store, their doing so means that there must be a sky-high commission transaction under the water, and Yeremov is more loyal, but he told me that he is almost unable to withstand the pressure of the Hollywood giants.”
Old Mike looked at the newspaper silently, as if he didn't hear her.
"We have to stop them, Mike!" Sloan exhorted loudly.
"I have consulted some other lawyers anonymously." Old Mike said: "I don't care what Goodman and Hamlin are doing, at least they don't want this kid to die..."
He pouts at Song Yanu on the hospital bed, "It's more in their interest for him to be like this now, and my task is only to save his life. I don't care about other money matters, and I don't understand."
"When they evacuate APLUS's money, do you think they will let APLUS go?" Sloan asked.
"Then let's talk about it at that time. It's better than falling into the hands of those who want to divide his inheritance." Old Mike knew very well.
"Damn woman! You cross the river and destroy the bridge!? Open the door! Sloan, open the door for me!"
At this time Alicia appeared angrily outside the door, knocking on the door and glass angrily.
"What's the matter?" Sloane let her in.
"Littman Press just got an order from the Illinois Department of Education, and A+ Audio suddenly fired my law firm? I just took out a loan to merge a law firm in Silicon Valley for this business! I will go bankrupt! Bitch! "
The governor's wife cursed with a ferocious expression.
"I haven't heard of it."
"See for yourself!"
'America music site just raised a successful round of funding...'
In the screen, the smug DeLay is shaking hands with Goodman and Wall Street bankers. They are all unfamiliar faces. Sloan only recognizes one Carl Icahn. , the shareholding ratio of the asset management company under APLUS dropped from 85% to 49%. Due to the excessive investment in website infrastructure, its parent company was already on the verge of bankruptcy this year. Many investors, he claimed that the site will also conduct a final round of financing before going public. '
Recognizing one is enough, she instantly understood, "I didn't expect Dilai to..."
"In addition to firing my law firm, they just replaced Wing Dao with Arthur Andersen, and Morgan Stanley with DeMingson and Carl Icahn's firm..." Alicia cried.
"What can I do..."
Sloan muttered to himself, unexpectedly, Alicia rushed to the hospital bed, raised her hand and slapped Song Ya's head to one side.
