Chapter 1178? Impatient
‘Illinois Governor Peter Flock concluded his visit after signing a series of large business orders, and returned to Rice with his wife yesterday, but the accompanying APLUS is still stranded. APLUS seems to want to avoid the limelight. Apart from occasionally responding to this incident through online forums, it is basically playing hide-and-seek with all media. The interview team of the MI Associated Press climbed more than ten kilometers of the Great Wall to 'catch' him who was visiting the local area, and was then arrested. He chatted all afternoon about Huaguo's WTO accession negotiations. '
"Of course I support it. The WTO family needs Huaguo, and the sooner the better."
In the news screen, Song Ya was dressed in bunts and was in high spirits, surrounded by bodyguards, senior executives, people from the US embassy, the "Ministry of Commerce", Chinese police officers, and local officials standing in front of the beacon tower to point out the country. The Chinese people who were separated from the distance to watch the excitement.
"Have you talked about this with the commander-in-chief?" The reporter tried to lead the topic to the White House countless times.
"No!"
Song Ya interrupted severely, "I would like to represent myself and the voice of some American industries!"
"Who does this kid think he is?"
Doug Morris, president of Universal Music, took a sneak peek at the boss, Bronfman Jr., and noticed that the other party's expression was gloomy, and immediately mocked him and turned off the TV with a disdainful expression, "Boss, the **** is here. "
"Um."
Little Bronfman is really in a normal mood, not because Song Ya’s exposure rate has been amazing in recent days. In the eyes of his class, the limelight of the White House bathroom is a joke. The recent tug-of-war negotiations with PolyGram are very difficult. , he needs to prepare more ammunition, and the bank always has a strong posture at this time, and he is very unfamiliar with the job of asking for help.
It can even be said that in the past two months he has suffered more psychological trauma from the banking industry than in his previous life.
"Hello, Mr. Bronfman."
Of course, the attitude of the people in the bank must be respectful to him. After the pleasantries, they will talk about the topic, and they will say some uncomfortable words when discussing the facts. "The record industry is facing a cold winter. Whether it is Polygram or Universal, the situation Neither is good, regarding the profit expectations after the merger..."
"Our Global has no problem, I believe you have read the relevant reports."
Doug Morris responded on behalf of the boss, "The current industry environment is a good time for mergers and acquisitions. When we become the world's largest record company, we will have greater scale and industry influence. In the second half of the year, the Digital Millennium Act will continue Through the piracy problem, at least the piracy problem in developed countries will be reversed to a large extent,
The spring of the recording industry is coming soon. "
"Even if the Digital Millennium Act gets legal provisions that are beneficial to the recording industry, the bulk of piracy is still in the physical field, right? Those cheap CDs that can be transcribed by industrial assembly lines..." In the large **** delegation Someone countered.
"That phenomenon has existed since the cassette era. I don't think there is any fundamental difference between the two. Everyone has come here."
Doug Morris said: "Mr. Bronfman is the leader of the record industry's anti-piracy cause. We have made great efforts. Not long ago, we cooperated with the police in various places to destroy a gang and reduced the piracy on the West Coast by about 30%. Industry chain, our actions are becoming more and more powerful, and you can see from the data that for top singers, physical record sales are not so affected by piracy. On the contrary, in some countries and regions where piracy is rampant, their Exposure and popularity expand much faster than in the early years."
"Haha, speaking of top singers, your new APLUS album will be released this year, right? Can you tell us about the expected sales volume? He is now a man of the hour."
The **** suddenly mentioned Song Ya, and other colleagues laughed heartily, "I just came back from Latin America, and he is quite well-known there, as long as there is a football program, he will play the song he just released. English song, what is it called?"
"The cup of life."
Doug Morris flattered by the way, "In the case of APLUS, the boss made a good deal and helped APLUS a lot. He hadn't appeared in the media for a long time at that time, he had a trend of passing, and he was in the record industry. There are not many true friends here."
"Yes, yes, I heard that you gave him the industry's highest 20.1% artist share, which is 0.1% higher than the contract between MJ and Sony Columbia? MJ is clamoring for Sony Columbia for this matter Fulfilling the terms of his contract that matches the top singer's contract?"
The **** people didn’t know whether it was their homework for financing or the side information they got when they ate the melon in the White House bathroom, so they chatted in depth with great interest, “Mr. The comeback of APLUS created enough momentum, and also stimulated internal conflicts among competitors. Haha, speaking of which, APLUS is really a great treasure, and no one knows how to attract everyone’s attention better than him.”
The other members of the negotiating delegation burst into laughter.
What's with this happy atmosphere! ? Doug Morris noticed that Bronfman Jr. started to hold his eyebrows in a daze, and knew that this was a habitual little gesture of the boss when he was impatient, so he couldn't help sweating on his forehead, "Let's talk about the acquisition of Polygram, do you have any questions?" Interested in joining the financing team?"
"Of course, otherwise we wouldn't have come."
The **** people entered the negotiation state very professionally.
"APLUS, can you respond positively to Ms. Lewinsky's remarks?"
In the end, the reporter from the Mil Associated Press also became impatient with Song Ya's Tai Chi Kung Fu, so he simply asked directly and rudely, and then put the microphone to the other party's mouth.
"Uh, uh..."
The Americans beside him were all suppressing their smiles, Song Ya glanced at the reporter, "It's a boring question."
"Didn't you deny it before? You said Ms. Lewinsky was a liar."
"Then what are you asking!?"
"I want to get your own confirmation."
"I am not obliged to confirm anything, this is a private matter between Mimi and I, we were husband and wife at the time!"
"So, it does exist?"
"I didn't say..."
"and you……"
"I mean she and I have been popular for so many years, there is no need to reply to every rumor one by one, then we will be exhausted."
"So it's a rumor?"
"Don't try to tempt me to give an affirmative answer, I know that the lady's remarks are very sensitive in the United States... er, the country!"
"It's not about other people, we're only interested in what's about you."
"Hey! Don't you guys do business at the Milian Press? Staring at the bathroom all day long!?"
Song Ya showed an angry expression of being overwhelmed, and reached for the camera lens, "Don't shoot, don't shoot! The interview is over!"
In Los Angeles, Xue Linfen saw the TV screen covering Song Ya's palm, pouted and turned off the TV, "What's the progress of the girl next door?" She asked Yeremov.
"The audition for the heroine has already started. I heard that I will play with Xiao Lizi. The girls in Hollywood are going crazy, haha."
The resumes on Yeremov's desk piled up like a mountain. "Not only in Hollywood, but many ordinary young girls want to get this opportunity in a whimsical way."
"oh?"
With a smile, Xue Linfen flicked through the pile of resumes that Yeremov placed alone, and soon saw Charis's pretty face, she picked it up and hugged it in her arms, "I'll keep this one."
"Charis is very suitable, Xuelin." Yeremov looked at Xuelin with a straight face, and warned: "Anyway, she has been exposed in the Devil's Advocate, and there is no pressure to act in an R-rated movie. Now her image and reputation are enough .”
"She wants to rely on her personal ability, and she has expressed her opinion to both me and APLUS, so let her work hard in Hollywood."
The posture was so high before, but now you want to touch the curve quietly and turn around? Not so good! Xue Linfen replied with a sneer.
"Okay, how's your progress on Lengshan?"
Xue Linfen was not on the producer list of the girl next door, but Yeremov only knew that the boss was now in love with this woman again, so he didn't insist anymore, but he used a question to hint that the other party should not cross the line again.
"Daniel is on the move, he's trying to get around." Xue Linfen replied proudly: "The former president of Sony Columbia Records has a lot of connections."
"Well, you should also pay attention to follow up, our opponent is very strong."
"Oh, by the way, Natasha Kinski asked me to ask her about the audition results." Xue Linfen said again.
"She can't. Old Larry said that she is too beautiful and doesn't look as old as she actually is. She is not suitable for playing the hero's mother, and she is a bit expensive for that role."
Yeremov replied. Song Ya's "Queen's Great Director" old Larry shot a 30 million-level production of Universal Pictures after the football stunner, so when he heard that the girl next door was Song Ya's script, he immediately touched his nose Come back and continue working for A+ Film Studios.
"OK, I'm just asking for help."
Xue Linfen didn't insist any more. To be honest, she didn't think she was familiar with Natasha Kinski, so it was good enough to ask for help.
"Ms. Finn! What a coincidence, you also came to see Mr. Yeremov?"
A strong competitor of Leng Shan, and everyone thinks that she can exert influence on the girl next door project, Xue Linfen is now a popular producer in Hollywood, and she was pretended to be by a big-name agent with ulterior motives as soon as she stepped out of the A+ film studio. Chances of chatting up, compliments: "Wow, you are still so beautiful, if you ask me, the girl next door and the heroine of Lengshan should be yours, there is no need for casting."
"No, no, I won't act anymore."
Xue Linfen smiled and waved her hands.
"That's a huge loss for Hollywood! Such a pity."
"It's not that exaggerated."
"Remember back then? We almost cooperated." The other party sighed and brought up an old friendship, "It's been almost ten years in a flash, alas, time flies so fast."
"Yeah?"
It's okay not to mention this, Xue Linfen was immediately brought back memories, the other party was so arrogant that she was looking at her with her nostrils, now? hehe.
"Uh, where are you going?"
"The salon party at Mr. Daniel Glass's house, he just bought a house in Beverly Hills." Xue Linfen didn't stop at all.
"Is the former president of Sony Columbia Records right? I know where he lives, so I happened to drop by and give you a ride?" Once the manager got involved, it was hard to get rid of him, with a thick skin.
"Need not……"
She pointed to the members of the Lengshan preparatory team, personal assistants and driver's bodyguards gathered in the distance, "Bye?"
"Goodbye, oh yes, I have an artist in my hand who is auditioning for the girl next door..."
Before the manager finished speaking, Xue Linfen had already closed the car door, "Go to Mr. Glass's house." She ordered the driver, and by the way, tore up Charis' resume into pieces and stuffed it into her bag.
"Boss, they're leaving."
Doug Morris over there just sent off the **** and came back to report to Bronfman Jr.
"Just messing around."
Little Bronfman looked at his watch unhappily, "It seems that no bank is willing to provide financing for the acquisition of Polygram unless I take out Seagram Liquor. Cut! No good news all day long!"
"Good news... there is one."
Doug Morris took the opportunity to say: "Litman Media has just revised the issue price of new shares again, which is 10% lower than the previous price."
"ha!"
It is indeed good news. This is equivalent to a loss of more than 60 million dollars in the valuation of Littman Media. Little Bronfman smiled, "This is what should happen if you condone piracy. Of course, I didn't deliberately target anyone. I just believe justice must prevail."
"Of course, when the Digital Millennium Act is passed, they still have a hurdle to pass."
Doug Morris laughed along the lines.
Naturally, he would not say that because of the 'East Hall Restroom Incident', the reactivation of APLUS on the website caused Littman Media's price drop to be less than Wall Street's previous forecast. The original figure should be more than 60 million, at least 100 million Knife left and right.
"tired."
Little Bronfman stretched his waist, "Help me get rid of David Geffen's dinner party tonight."
"Good boss."
Doug Morris graciously escorted him all the way to the car.
The driver tuned the radio to the financial station he often listens to recently, 'APLUS just left a message on the forum saying...'
"Swap another one." He ordered, fed up with the recent bombardment of information about the pervasiveness of this bastard.
'APLUS announced on the American music website that he and a local TV station in Huaguo are close to reaching a franchise joint venture agreement. Success, this will equal the hard-won results that News Corporation has spent more than ten years of hard work, leaving Viacom far behind! '
The host of another radio station also said excitedly: "This may be the real purpose of his new investment of tens of millions of dollars and donation of hundreds of millions of soft sister coins during his visit to China!"
"Or it's just a fake positive to save Littman Media's IPO."
Bronfman Jr. and the radio guest uttered the same sentence.
"In any case, he came from behind. Compared with Mr. Murdoch, he obviously trusts APLUS with Chinese descent more!" The host retorted, "He does have unique advantages, and he is willing to spend money!"
"Will Wall Street buy it?" Bronfman Jr. agreed with the guests again.
"Absolutely!" The host's answer was firm.
"Close it!"
Anyway, there was no one else in the car except the most trusted driver and himself, and Bronfman, who was too lazy to maintain the avatar of your son, suddenly yelled furiously.
