Chapter 1186?

"APLUS, is your relationship with Miss Shakira stable?"

"Of course, of course..."

On the second day, Song Ya and Shakira clasped their fingers together, dressed up grandly and accepted Harvey Weinstein's Talk magazine interview at Daniel's house.

After Song Ya finished answering, she looked at Shakira sweetly.

As Harvey poached the New Yorker magazine's elite staff and entered the traditional print media's ambition, Talk magazine certainly did not come here to eat dog food, "You will release new issues in the second half of the year, and you will also perform for the World Cup in France, right? "The editor-in-chief, former New Yorker editor Tina Brown, personally conducted the interview.

Song Ya signaled Shakira to answer, "Yes, my new album will probably be released at the end of the year." Shakira replied in English with a Latin accent.

"? Is it a Spanish album?"

"Yes, where is the thief."

"Is it the kind that steals hearts?" Tina Brown blinked.

Shakira and Song Ya also laughed for a while, Shakira continued to answer: "Part, part is talking about my hometown Colombia."

"About politics?"

"Well, let me keep a little mystery first, and you can buy the album and listen to it when it comes out."

"Haha, I will definitely buy it."

Both the guests and the host laughed, and the atmosphere of the interview was very good, "What about you, APLUS?" Tina Brown asked again, "I heard that you will postpone the release of the new album?"

"Yes, Tina, you know I'm a perfectionist." Song Ya nodded, "I haven't posted a post for a long time, I must be 100% sure."

"The fourth of July..."

"July 4th is just a critical moment, but I don't think we are ready yet." Song Ya replied.

"Is this related to the recent accusations against you by the president of Universal Music, Doug Morris and Mr. Geffen?"

"No, they and I are old people in the recording industry. Our attitude in this regard is professional, and we have a consensus."

Shit, in the current situation, I'm not sure that the July 4th conference will go smoothly. Whether Bronfman knows it or not, it's a violation of my fundamental interests for someone to lure Delay. Then I can't say anything and have nothing, I have to make trouble. Before the acquisition of PolyGram is finalized, Universal Music can't get the benefit of the new album release from itself.

"Postponed until the end of the year, releasing the song at the same time as Miss Shakira?"

"Actually, I really didn't think about it. You know I was in a coma for five months last year. After I woke up, I was angry and emotional. After nearly a year of calmness, I felt that I had to make major changes to some songs. I Can't give fans any guarantees."

"That's regretful."

"I believe the wait must be worth it."

"Then the tour plan..."

"certainly,

will be held as scheduled. "

"OK, here is a question that might be a little offensive, APLUS, did you post yesterday denying Miss Lewinsky's revelation?"

"Yes, me and Mimi..."

Song Ya first gave Shakira an apologetic look, "I didn't expect things to be so complicated at first. This is just the content of that lady's private conversation with her friends, and it has no credibility at all, but after this period of fermentation, we have endured it." There are so many rumors and criticisms, I think we have to stand up and say it clearly: there is absolutely no such thing, she cannot be trusted."

"Then what do you think between her and the Grand Commander..."

"It's not credible, you know, it's normal to boast and exaggerate in private conversations with little sisters. Ms. Lewinsky lied at least about me and Mimi. Her credibility is question."

"Then do you know that the Whitewater prosecutor is following up on this incident?"

"Hopefully the Elephant Party can spend taxpayers' money on more meaningful things."

"Ha ha!"

Harvey cleans up the incumbent president even harder, and Tina Brown, also a staunch liberal, is happy with this answer, "Uh, APLUS, tell me about your other ventures? Your investments in the Internet and technology industries... ...You are now the chairman of two listed companies, 3DFX and Littman Media, right?"

"Yes, I cooperate very well with 3DFX. Everyone is firmly moving towards the same ideal. If you know Tina in the technology industry, you will know our position in the field of 3D display chips. We are the best. Riding Juechen."

"What about Litman Media? You seem to have a bit of a disagreement with the board of directors and CEO Ms. Sloan."

"I am a part of the recording industry and Hollywood. I am sitting here, living here, and developing my career here. My position on anti-piracy will remain the same as here." Song Ya replied.

"A subsidiary of Littman Media, the America Music website you regularly use is caught in a lawsuit with the recording industry?" Tina Brown asked.

"Yes." Song Ya nodded.

"Do you think……"

"The specific legal issues should be handled by professionals. It is not convenient for me to express my opinion at present."

"OK, then... let's talk about the big ship."

"OK……"

The two sides had a tacit understanding. After talking about the anecdote about investing in Titanic and the box office miracle, the topic was shifted to Hollywood, and Leng Shan would not be mentioned at all. "What is your next goal? Have you got it?" Na Brown asked.

"Well……"

Continuing to make trouble, Song Ya pretended to ponder for a while, "I met with Jodie Foster yesterday, and we talked for a long time about the Anna and the King project. I really like the script and the cast."

"Do you think it's going to be the next big ship?"

"It's hard to tell at the moment, but there's potential, and I want to salvage the project, you know it's had a bit of a problem lately."

"I just heard that the project stalled."

"Yes, it's very troublesome. Judy told me that Polygram Films refused to allocate funds because she felt painful and helpless in the face of drastic changes in the parent company, because Egg Films under her name was controlled by Polygram. .I said to her 'Hey, Judy, then why don't we just go big? How about buying Polygram?' Haha, she was freaked out by the idea."

"Wow, that's big news."

Tina Brown was very surprised. Even though she was mentally prepared, she was still surprised when Song Ya said this in person. Of course she knew that Universal was going all out to compete for Polygram, and of course she knew that Song Ya's move was revenge, a very aggressive revenge . The young man in front of him is much more entertaining than his boss, Harvey Weinstein, and he is worthy of the rumored name of the anti-bones boy of the record industry who is dishonest everywhere.

"I've been fed up with distribution companies for a long time, Hollywood, the record industry, and I think it's time to own my own distribution company. I hate being controlled by others. I hated it from the beginning."

What Song Yaquan said was a lie, because according to the information Jodie Foster obtained this morning, the distribution system of Polygram Pictures relies on the century-old global layout of Polygram Records that started from Deutsche Grammophon (DG). The words are meaningless, and PolyGram is already a master at playing capital games and blowing bubbles. A company that spent hundreds of millions of dollars last year to acquire others at a premium is eager to change hands this year. Who knows how much thunder is hidden in it. Judy Foss The special energy is not clear at all.

But as long as it can make trouble, I believe it will cause some troubles for Bronfman Jr.'s acquisition. Now PolyGram hopes to have as many buyers as possible, and they will definitely take the opportunity to "take Joe". If you can make Universal spend an extra 200 million, you can even avenge the loss of Litman Media's market value. If you spend an extra 350 million, you can avenge other vengeances, and the calculation will be made later.

"Is the distribution system the last piece of the puzzle in your media empire?" Tina Brown asked.

"It's always going to come to this point. Sooner or later, DreamWorks gave me confidence. I respect Mr. Spielberg, Katzenberg and Mr. David Geffen. Master Yun said that three people must have my teacher. They are teachers."

Song Yayan's text.

The next day, when Song Ya and Shakira set off to return to Chicago, Tina Brown published the full text of the interview in Talk magazine, and her statement to Lewinsky was naturally the key point. Of course, she also postponed the release of APLUS’s new album and Intention to acquire Polygram Films, support for the continuation of the Anna and the King project, etc. have been published.

"Mr. Bronfman Jr. was very angry, he issued a gag order..."

Linda of A+ Records came to pick up the plane and set off for Los Angeles by the way, responding to Bronfman Jr.’s order to call a meeting of its senior management, “He said that he does not allow any staff and artists under the Universal system to discuss the acquisition of Polygram without permission. Make any remarks, or you will be unconditionally suspended from some work, and you will bear the consequences."

Linda is worried.

"cut!"

Song Ya let out a snort from his nostrils.
