Chapter 1181

"APLUS, as one of the most popular stars in the world, is being criticized by the record industry and Hollywood for its role in the American music website, which is suspected of condoning piracy. Opening low and going low, the market value fell from the peak of nearly one billion yuan to the opening price and finally closed at 810 million yuan."

In the middle of the next night, a CNBC male reporter on location held a microphone and talked to the camera against the background of the Los Angeles airport, "The record industry deliberately chose this website on the IPO day as a breakthrough point for digital copyright litigation. This move is no less than a declaration of war. , very symbolic."

"Littman Media is suddenly burdened with heavy lawsuits, and the joint venture intention of Huaguo local TV stations in their hands has also been questioned by the capital market. CEO Ms. Sloan can't produce any effective documents except for a thin paper. s things……"

"Ms. Sloan also urgently released a good thing that afternoon. Littman Media and Grove Publishing House reached a strategic cooperation intention of crime literature online. So that the closing price will not be more ugly."

"Is Litman Media's new media story making sense? It remains to be seen. Some analysts believe that the company, which is burdened by traditional publishing houses, print media, and TV stations, should not be used as a reference method for the price-earnings ratio of Internet concept stocks. Then A market value of 800 million is still too high.”

"In any case, I am personally looking forward to how APLUS will respond later. He may choose to come back today because he has to deal with this emergency. He probably owns Littman Media..."

"We were tricked! APLUS is at another exit!"

While the male reporter was talking, someone yelled at the side, and countless interview teams immediately swarmed the scene like a dark cloud, "Aww!" , quickly got up to pick up the microphone, and then ran wildly with the photographer and followed the large team.

"APLUS, you and Mariah Carey..."

"The Great Commander..."

"White House……"

"Lewinsky..."

"The bathroom in the east hall..."

But it was already behind, and none of the clever ghosts who occupied a good position asked serious questions, and all their tongues were all about that stupid thing.

"I'm from CNBC..." The male reporter jumped up behind the human wall and shouted, trying to attract APLUS's attention, but unfortunately he failed. He watched APLUS turn sideways slightly to protect Shakira with his tall body, bowed his head , with a smile on his face, was surrounded by airport guards and bodyguards and walked all the way, and finally disappeared from sight.

"Go to my place, boss."

Hayden in the passenger seat noticed that Song Ya and Shakira, who had just got into the car, were already entangled with each other. It was obvious that the two young people were suffocated.

"No, go to Beverly Hills." Song Ya took the time to answer, "Daniel reserved a room for me."

"OK."

Hayden secretly rejoiced that he did not buy a new house in Beverly Hills,

Focus on showing old Mike the way.

Former life mentor Daniel Glass's current mental state is very similar to that of Ovitz who was just kicked out of Disney. He has lost all influential positions, but he still has savings and connections. He is unwilling to be regarded as a lost dog by the outside world. .

Ovitz attacked and invested everywhere, and after making a lot of limelight, he chose to return to his old job: Hollywood brokerage. The same is true for Daniel. First, he won a manor house next to Eddie Murphy's mansion with a high profile. Beverly Hills is also divided into lots. Top-notch real estate such as Jack Warner Manor owned by David Geffen, and then Eddie Murphy's residence The value of this piece is about tens of millions.

Once again, it is the side where Amy and Halle live, and there are even more times.

Daniel keeps throwing parties, feasting on guests to prove his financial resources and connections, and while helping to fight for Cold Mountain, he is also looking for new opportunities in the record and film industries.

"Welcome! APLUS!"

Daniel was very enthusiastic. Wearing a silk nightgown, he held a drink in one hand and a cigar in the other. Standing slightly drunk on the side of the driveway, he applauded and cheered loudly for the Song Ya motorcade that drove into the manor. Only his wife and domestic servants were around him.

"Thank you for taking me in, Daniel."

Daniel's move to get Grove Publishing, the parent company of Atlantic Monthly, was very good. Otherwise, Cold Mountain would have been acquired by Universal Pictures yesterday. Ron Meyer's all-out attack shouldn't have caused any suspense, but what did Daniel say? He was also a high-end player who had been in charge of one of the Big Six. He even caught a glimpse of Grove Publishing's intention to enter the Internet during the contact process, which led to the cooperation between the other party and Littman Media.

"You're welcome, I'll hold a welcome party for you tomorrow?" The two embraced.

"No, I need to beat the jet lag and get back to Chicago after I finish my work here."

The flight of more than ten hours was really tiring, Song Ya was full of tiredness, with drooping eyelids and a wry smile.

"OK, just treat me as your own home."

Daniel asked the servant to help with the luggage, and personally led the way to the guest room, which was big enough to accommodate Song Ya and his party.

"Uh, can this room be connected to the Internet?"

"certainly."

'At the beginning of last year I was shot six times and was in a coma for five months! The before and after america music site is out of my control, i had to fight a lawsuit to get some money back, now it belongs to Littman media, and you still want me to be responsible for this site! ? What can I be responsible for! ? '

'The thing that is currently being hyped is too boring. I am still annoyed by the media here on the other side of the ocean. I am fed up. Stop here! I will not make any more responses! '

'Also please stop harassing Mimi! '

In the early morning, when he recovered, he got up refreshed and fired three consecutive shots, and then went out to have breakfast.

"What are you going to do, APLUS."

Daniel has finished eating and is sitting at the table drinking coffee. In fact, since the first time the two met, they have never thought about it. On the contrary, in this state, the superficial relationship seems to be the closest, and Daniel seems to be a little bit sober when he is sober. Unable to adapt, he glanced at the pajamas Song Ya was wearing, and then turned his gaze to the newspaper in his hand.

"You mean?"

"With Universal... Now everyone knows that Universal is very dissatisfied with you. Doug Morris and Ron Meyer spoke at almost the same time. It is not difficult to guess whose will is at work behind them." Daniel answer.

"What do you think?" Song Ya asked back.

"The Bronfman family is still irresistible," Daniel said. "We can play small tricks, but you have to understand their energy, especially the energy of old Mr. Bronfman."

"I found some relationships and tried to establish direct communication with the old Mr. Bronfman." Song Ya said.

Daniel smiled and shook his head, but did not continue this topic, and instead mentioned the Cold Mountain Project, "The Atlantic Monthly is one of the iconic publications where the American local media began to develop self-awareness in the 19th century. Emerson once said, 'We listen Europe's gentle goddess of literature and art has been listening for too long', it and its parent company, Grove Press, both have a long history and are currently leaning towards conservatives. The Atlantic Monthly's political spectrum is on the other side of the liberal New Yorker magazine... "

He said: "One thing that is beneficial to us is that although Grove Publishing wants to continue to be independent, it has become increasingly weak in the context of the mergers and acquisitions in the media industry and the continuous emergence of new media. They have a sense of crisis."

"That's why Leng Shan's southern perspective book was published by them." Song Ya laughed.

"APLUS, although we attacked Universal the day before yesterday, Leng Shan hasn't got it yet."

Daniel said: "I think we already know each other very well. You know my character and I know yours. Now I want more. Your Shelin Fen is completely out of the situation. Yeremov is also addicted to giving He enjoyed the girl-next-door looking for a female lead, and was inundated with girls wanting to play with Leo. Only Touchstone and Ms. Sloan helped."

Song Ya certainly understands the other party. Daniel regrets this problem very much. He is too short-sighted. He knows that it is absolutely inconvenient for him to show up on the Cold Mountain project. Now he has gained the trust of Grove Publishing House during the contact process and has become a In terms of communication between the two parties, they found a middleman who could not be replaced in a short time, so they hurriedly began to ask for more benefits.

It's okay, clearly marked the price, "Then what do you want?" Song Ya tore a piece of bread and threw it into his mouth to chew, "I'm staying here to quickly solve the problems of the film industry."

"OK, I started a new company, Glass Films." Daniel offered.

"Then in addition to handing over the original soundtrack to your record company for distribution, your film company will also assist A+ Film Studio and Touchstone Films in producing Cold Mountain. You will have a meeting to decide the specific ratio. I will say hello to Yeremov."

"Good."

Smart people don’t need too much nonsense. Daniel raised the newspaper, and behind it was an interview with a second-tier musician. He described the whole process of seeing someone sharing his work on the American website by accident while surfing the Internet, and was filled with righteous indignation.

Song Ya continued to eat to replenish her strength, "The Bronfman family is still irresistible", and Daniel's words kept lingering in her mind. The inexplicably hateful rich three generations, if you hit the young ones and attract the old ones, it is really a headache, and let alone your own strength, you can't even beat the young ones.

"Is there any room for us to relax?" He called Sloan after eating, "After all, we have already gone public, and the process is going smoothly. The piracy problem must be solved, and now we don't have to be greedy for that part of the traffic. Short-term pain is worse than long-term pain."

"Things are already like this, even if we bow our heads and delete the song files uploaded privately by users, there may be other troubles. Think about it, for example, those users were encouraged to initiate a class action lawsuit under the First Amendment."

Sloan replied: "Then I would rather go to court with the six major record companies and wait until the Digital Millennium Act clearly defines the legal gray area. There will definitely be a result within this year...We cannot replace it with a sharper knife. The handle in the enemy's hand is to deceive oneself."

"Anyway, it's to my advantage to put on a conciliatory stance first, isn't it?"

Song Ya asked back: "It's just a gesture. The current public opinion trend is not good for me. Many people are scolding me, and because of the political correctness of protecting intellectual property rights, the Internet industry will not publicly speak for me."

"What do you want to do? Retreat to advance?"

"Almost, we are like this..."

After the two discussed it, Song Ya returned to the room. The three new posts in the morning had already had an impact. Of course, most of the posts on the American music website were supportive, but the external feedback was completely different.

"I've been helping him with firepower for more than half a month. You know I still have troubles in the record industry and film industry. Let's call it a day. I don't have enough energy to handle that much."

First of all, the current commander-in-chief, of course they hope that the media's attention will continue to stay on their side, so they immediately contacted themselves when they saw the post in the morning, but Song Ya felt that he had exhausted his benevolence, "Mimi's spirit is also on the verge of collapse. "

"She? Wasn't she in great shape at the Divas concert?"

The person who came to deliver a message for the commander-in-chief was a person Song Ya did not expect, Harvey Weinstein, but it is reasonable to think about it. Harvey is one of the people who have the closest relationship with the current commander-in-chief in Hollywood, and he has just invested in it. A Talk magazine, when it came up, it clearly praised the great commander, and forcibly wiped out the White House intern scandal.

"In short, I can only do this, and I need to get paid for my efforts later, such as helping me solve the current problem."

Taking a step back, Song Ya made an offer.

"Cold Mountain?" Big Fat Harvey asked with squinted eyes. His Miramax has no hope of winning the Cold Mountain project after Universal's strong intervention.

"Don't play dumb Harvey, I'm not interested in Leng Shan at all." Song Yaxin couldn't beat him, he was too cunning.

"OKOK, we are APLUS on one side anyway."

Harvey probably only had the task of passing on the message. He didn't make any guarantees for the commander, and left Daniel's house in a hurry.

It seemed that this strategy had some effect, so Song Ya continued to be a keyboard warrior.

'I just asked the people on the website, so that's what happened! Of course I stand with the record industry! delete! that's all! I have ordered all infringing songs to be deleted! '
