Chapter 1169? Don't Kneel

On March 15, 1998, after winning the box office of Beimi Zhou for 12 consecutive times, Dachuan finally ushered in a strong enemy. The British-Mimi co-produced film: The Man in the Iron Mask, which was also starring Xiao Lizi, was adapted from Alexandre Dumas. Describes the story of Prince Philip, the twin brother of Louis XIV.

At present, the Titanic is only ahead with a slight advantage of 300,000 dollars, and the record is likely to be ended.

Xiao Lizi is undoubtedly the most popular male star in the world.

MGM Pictures, the distributor of Man in the Iron Mask, is in a worse situation than Fox Pictures before the big ship set sail, and has entered bankruptcy protection. Now that it has a movie starring the super popular little plum in its hands, it is naturally eager to start filming while it is hot. save yourself.

On the same day, the riaa Copyright Dispute Committee narrowly failed to pass the proposal to issue the second round of advertising ban.

"Daniel Glass? Wasn't he the president of Sony Columbia Records? How did he become the chairman of the Copyright Dispute Committee? He has a close relationship with AS, right?"

Bronfman Jr. was very dissatisfied when he heard the news, and began to care about the details, "Your old friend too?" He questioned Greg Morris.

"Daniel supports us. He and AS have already fallen out. It's Warner and Disney."

Doug Morris was sweating in his heart. He thought that Sony Columbia would definitely join the ranks of opponents. Rick Rubin said the same to himself that day, but no. Fortunately, Disney also ran out of votes, one positive and the other negative.

"No matter, kill him." Bronfman Jr. picked up the phone.

"What?" Doug Morris misunderstood.

"Screw that Daniel Glass out."

Fortunately, Fu Sandai didn't want to play the gangster game, so he directly called the chairman of riaa.

The board of riaa has more than 20 seats. Due to the untimely change of power caused by fierce mergers and acquisitions and internal bureaucracy in the 1990s, except for a few directors who have been installed in recent years, the other members are basically from the original CA, Warner Music, former Columbia Records, Disney, ABC, BC and other old American giants.

"But Daniel's term is not over yet, and he won't be re-elected until the end of the year..." Doug Morris reminded.

"Then by the end of the year, there must be something wrong with him." Bronfman Jr. had a good intuition, and told the chairman of riaa on the phone to replace Daniel by the end of the year.

But after putting down the phone, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, "No, let them vote again next week. If the result is still the same, Daniel must step down immediately. Tell him for me."

"Okay...okay."

With his energy, it can definitely be done if he surpasses himself and asks Riaa himself, Doug Morris can only agree.

"Boss, the crew is waiting." The assistant came in to remind.

"Um."

Little Bronfman grabbed his coat, "Don't disappoint me again." He left in a hurry.

He was going to visit the book, and Doug Morris seized this opportunity to report,

Originally, I felt that with his personality, his attention would be diverted quickly, but unfortunately he failed to do so.

"What? Have you talked to Mr. Bronfman Jr.?"

He had to turn to David Geffen again.

"Talked." David Geffen really looked for an opportunity to chat, but he would not risk being suspected of saying anything more, otherwise it would affect the plan, "I know? Let's talk about it when I find a chance to meet with AS. "

"Okay? Please."

"I'll be in Los Angeles on the 20th." With Daniel's cooperation, riaa won the first match. Song Ya was in a good mood? He answered David Geffen's meeting invitation on the phone.

"That might be a little late..." David Geffen relayed the seriousness of his case.

"I can't help it? The study task is too heavy." Even if someone helps, law school is not so easy to mess with? "I really don't have time before the twentieth."

"Then I'll go there, you arrange a suitable reason." David Geffen was very active? He was also very cautious.

"No problem? Please Mr. Geffen."

The next day, David Geffen received an invitation to the inauguration of the headquarters of A+ Records. On March 18th, he arrived in Chicago.

Neither of them in the mood for a party? After a ceremony and a photo interview, they slipped into the brand new chairman's office on the top floor.

"Sorry? I haven't decorated this place yet." Song Ya poured him a glass of wine graciously.

"I didn't see Milla Jovovich?" David Geffen asked.

The new headquarters was unveiled, and naturally the singers under the banner would come to support her, but Mira refused, "She got the heroine of Warner's sci-fi blockbuster Soldier, so busy? Can't be separated."

Song Ya guessed it was because of his official announcement that Shakira hadn't contacted him for a long time, so he couldn't take care of it? "Please sit down."

"Ha ha."

David Geffen was allowed to sit down at the soft owner's table, and looked around the empty office. "Do you have a room opposite?" He smiled and pointed to the building a+ outside the window.

"There's a small one, and it should stay here. The big one is for Ms. Sloan, CEO of Littman Media."

Song Ya sat across from him.

"Okay? Tight time? No more small talk."

David Geffen switched his expression to positive? Said: "It will be difficult for you to get a satisfactory result in riaa again in a few days of re-voting, as, if Littman Media's listing goes wrong, how do you plan to deal with it?"

"I don't know, Mr. Geffen, that's a loss of tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions..."

How to deal with it? If I lose so much money, why don't I go back? Let's make trouble, anyway, he is familiar with the road and has sufficient experience in rebellion.

Song Ya thought to herself.

"You can't resist little Bronfman's, as, the energy of the Bronfman family..."

David Geffen can probably guess it, and warned: "Don't mention politicians and upper-level resources. Before the old Bronfman was whitewashed, his family supplied goods to Al Capone and other Chicago mafia bosses during the Prohibition era. , even in Chicago, it's easy to get you into trouble."

"It's really fxxk's inexplicable!" Song Ya repeated this sentence during this time, "I know, but who would have thought that he would be offended?"

"You still don't know Mr. Bronfman Jr.," David Geffen said.

"I regret it to death, but I really only went to him to buy a Latin TV station once!" Song Ya was very wronged, "Ms. Sloan encouraged me, I knew he was so sensitive..."

"Oh?" David Geffen secretly wrote down the Latin TV station.

"Help me, Mr. Geffen."

Song Ya also knew that since the other party was willing to come, there must be a way, and offered a price: "After the matter is completed, I am willing to hand over the girl next door to your DreamWorks for distribution."

"What... what girl next door?"

"I'm going to take the movie that Xiao Lizi made an appointment with, an R-rated youth sex comedy." Song Ya replied, "According to his current popularity, he will definitely help you make money."

"puff……"

David Geffen took a sip of wine, "I thought it was Cold Mountain...everything is rumored in Hollywood."

"Leng Shan's film adaptation rights may not be won."

Cold Mountain has decided to co-produce with Disney's Touchstone Films. As the president of Disney Copyright Company, Big Mouth Linton thanked him for his help in the riaa voting. As for why he didn't cooperate with another label under Disney, Hollywood Pictures, Linton They all disappeared in time, and naturally they would not provide any performance to the manager who inherited the mess he left behind.

"R-rated sex comedy...Wow, Xiao Lizi is willing to sign? How much is the salary?" David Geffen asked.

"Anyway, he signed it, and the salary is capped at five million."

Song Ya didn't answer in a polite way. After fighting like this, he spent a lot of money just to buy these forces that help to move around. If Leng Shan can get it, the production and production of Tianqi's pure music soundtrack will also be handed over to Daniel's personal label. .

"puff!"

Pick up money! David Geffen gave a thumbs up, and then carefully looked up and down the mixed-race guy in front of him, the billionaire, "You are very good at seizing opportunities."

"Yes, at that time they all begged me to invest in the Titanic, now? Hehe." Fox Films and Xiao Lizi have a lot of glory, but they are already avoiding themselves and Yeremov, the human relationship is cold and warm...

Da Chuan is the number one in the history of new film, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of money in the future for the box office, but it is not annoying for the time being.

"In fact, I still advise you to endure this time, and even take the initiative, such as taking down the song files uploaded by users privately like the 3 website. After all, it is piracy, and you don't take it for granted."

David Geffen said: "Is it really impossible to find a way to let Bronfman Jr. get what he wants and minimize the losses as much as possible?"

"Now even if I want to kneel down, Wall Street and the Internet industry will not allow me to kneel."

Song Ya didn't tell a lie, he found a document from the safe and showed it to David Geffen, "This is the Digital Millennium Copyright Act currently being planned, which involves some clauses in the copyright of records and movies. Repeatedly competing with Hollywood and the recording industry. If the American Music 3 website takes the initiative to remove user data when the law is still in a gray area, it will set a bad example for the bill, and colleagues will go crazy! They will definitely exclude them afterwards Traitor! Litman Media has offended Wall Street and the Internet industry, and the result of forced listing will be even worse!"

"Um."

David Geffen certainly knew about this, "Bronfman Jr. and I have interests in the entertainment industry, and we are both one of the promoters of this bill, and you, as, are now in an embarrassing position."

"Who says it's not, but no matter what the details of the bill are, I can actually accept it, as long as it's not now! It's less than twenty days away from io!"

David Geffen observed a sudden ferocity in Song Ya's eyes, and knew that this young man was indeed a little rushed, and he also didn't want to make matters worse and cause a+ records to rebel!

He knew that the eye drops would not be too harsh, and he didn't expect that Bronfman would be so persistent. He pretended to rub his brows in front of Song Ya in distress, "In short, do you know Bronfman's character now? You have learned your lesson." ?"

"I won't go to him to talk about bad business in the future, just be careful!"

Song Ya didn't know that this complaint of hers had induced David Geffen to really make up his mind to help, "Okay, anyway, I will help Litman Media go public, but you must secretly support us in the Digital Millennium Act, and you are not allowed to Be a fool. Otherwise..."

"Of course, of course."

Song Ya was overjoyed, "Really?"

"Of course it's true, but we need to plan the details. Little Bronfman's character... needs to be followed, understand? We're like this..."

The two heads moved together, and their voices became lower and lower.
