Chapter 1219 Daniel's House

"Laugh, laugh, laugh...Hollywood always laughs so much."

After staying in Hollywood for a few days, to the outside world, Song Ya still lives in Daniel's house "every day". He opened the curtains and looked at the party crowds on the lawn at night, and heard all kinds of things in his ears. laughter.

A few third-rate actresses burst into exaggerated laughter as if they were chatting at a fixed time. They were holding bags in one hand, and they must have a glass of wine in the other. Some people had already bent over laughing, but Never forget to use the hand of the bag to hold the neckline of the evening dress in time and gracefully.

Several unnamed male rock singers were fighting with each other, one of them pushed the other's chest hard, the other took a few steps back, spilled the wine in the glass, they cursed each other, and then went silly with the friends who were watching. happy.

There were also some people who stood in a circle around a certain star, and the star said a few words, which made everyone laugh.

There were also young men and women partying and reveling by the swimming pool. A fat man in shorts jumped into the water, splashing a lot of water, causing a lot of laughter, screaming and booing.

Daniel has a lot of parties, his record company just signed a rock band that Jared Leto plays with, a weird name, 30 ; To Mars, that fits his style, Jared Radletto is considered popular and has been playing music for many years. He has real strength. Under Daniel's operation, this crossover should be able to help the record company earn a sum of money.

Obviously, Jared Leto will not choose Daniel's company to sign for no reason. They should have reached a tacit alliance in the competition for the male lead of Cold Mountain.

Yeremov was very upset, but there was nothing he could do about it. According to his previous agreement with Daniel, the Cold Mountain project would accept investment from Daniel's newly established Glass Films, so he was naturally one of the producers.

Daniel is also really positive and credited, he has high hopes for the cold mountain project, if all goes according to plan, then the shot is a bestseller cold mountain adaptation film and Jared Leto's band, both in Hollywood and in the record industry A strong comeback signal was sent.

Why is he also one of the top six presidents, this kind of handwriting is in line with his status.

"APLUS, people from Touchstone Films are here, do you want to go down and have a chat?"

Thinking of who would appear, the host Daniel knocked on the door and asked in a drunken loud voice: "The Leto brothers' band will perform later."

"I don't want to socialize tonight."

Song Ya opened the door and let him in,

Nodding towards the open computer screen on the table, he signaled that he still had something to do, "If the people from Touchstone want to talk about serious business, can you bring them to me?"

"OK, no problem!"

Daniel readily agreed, bent over drunkenly and stared at the American music website page on the screen, then went out humming a song, and thoughtfully helped close the door.

Speaking of which, Delay was still the keyboard player he gave himself to Mira when he was in charge of SBK records. Maybe he had placed great expectations on Delay. He has consistently signed a lot of street rock bands over the years, digging and discovering , There must be a long-term process of cultivating Dilai...

Of course now he doesn't mention Delay anymore, as if he forgot about him.

In fact, most of the media also chose to forget. Some music and Internet media summarized and recalled Di Lai’s life experience, and posted some condolences or texts introducing the cause of death. Going down soon.

Song Ya casually pressed F5 to refresh the page, everything was as usual, he checked the time again, it was not yet eleven o'clock.

"Zhang, how's the situation over there?" He called William Zhang, president of the American music website.

"It's all ready, and it will start on time at zero o'clock." William Zhang answered briefly.

"OK."

Then he had to wait again, he continued to peep from behind the curtain, this time he saw a luxury car being let straight into the entrance of the villa, the door opened, and Shakira got out.

"Hmph, I'll lose if I catch it."

The behavior of his ex-wife was hehe, he was prepared, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he smiled like a scumbag, and then took a sip of his wine.

"Honey? Why are you here!?" Soon, he opened his arms to the official girlfriend who pushed the door open in surprise and surprise.

"Is that what you do in Hollywood?"

Shakira looked around, touched, smelled, complained but jumped up and hung on the man with satisfaction in her heart.

"Um... you mean the party? There's no way, it's like this almost every day here."

After a lingering long kiss, Song Ya asked back: "Have you had fun with your friends in New York?"

"Generally, I'm not very familiar with those rappers..." She pouted and replied, "But it's really complicated and messy as you said."

"You don't need to worry about that, just don't get involved, is the recording of the new album going well?"

The two were chatting, and Daniel appeared again, this time with people from Touchstone Films, "Excuse me, APLUS?"

"No, please come in."

Shakira let go of her arms around the man's neck and jumped down.

"Miss Shakira, it's an honor..."

After exchanging pleasantries, we got to the point. People from Touchstone Films heard the news that the girl next door will be scheduled for October, which means that they will be competing with their darling project, which they have invested heavily in. All of them will be released by Bowei Films. Both parties will definitely be affected, so I came here.

"As a partner of the Cold Mountain project, can you slightly adjust the opening date of the girl next door in your company?"

They can't do anything with the girl next door, but they have leverage on the Cold Mountain project.

"There's no way, old Larry is recuperating in the hospital, he can't cut the girl next door in September, and another film of Xiao Li's movie Celebrity is about to start painting during Thanksgiving, we have to be ahead of Celebrity... ..."

Song Ya's rereading the prepared excuses is no longer an excuse, as it is.

"Switch to early November?" Someone from Touchstone Films suggested.

"I don't know, you should talk to Yeremov." Naturally, Yeremov will bear the pressure on such trivial matters. Song Ya sat down, held the Latin girl in his arms and asked: "But we always thought that you and Yeremov Oprah's Favorite will be drawing on Thanksgiving."

"Um."

The people from Touchstone Films looked at each other, "I made some adjustments according to the actual situation..." They were all tight-lipped, and they didn't say anything inside except this sentence.

"I understand that for an 80 million project, we should be cautious."

Then there is nothing to talk about. Daniel was speaking for the people of Goldstone Films because of Leng Shan. Song Ya felt a little unhappy and quickly sent the other party away.

At zero o'clock, the alarm clock rang, he stopped laughing and playing with Shakira in the bathroom, put on his bathrobe and went to the computer to refresh.

'Click...'

There are two red posts at the top of the forum homepage of the American music website. One is to inform users that the community rules have been revised, and the other is a notice for emergency maintenance of the attachment server.

"Have you started yet?" He called again.

"Yes, other communities have also started." William Zhang replied.

So he logged into the music section of large websites such as YAHOO, AOL, and WebChat. The method was similar, and he clicked on a sharing post of his own song, and those attachments in MP3 and other audio formats couldn't be opened one after another...

"Um?"

At noon the next day, in New York, Rashida Jones was logging onto the website with a cup of coffee in her hand, preparing to perform daily maintenance on her popular posts. She had developed this habit for a long time, very regularly, and was more serious than her studies and work.

But this time something was wrong, she found that some pictures in her post could not be opened.

The latest and hottest is the post of her showing a photo with APLUS in France. In the photo, the two are laughing at the camera under the romantic sunshine of France. She pouted at APLUS's cheek, wanting to kiss him or not.

The posts were full of messages from neat APLUS fans expressing envy, jealousy and hatred. She couldn't help admiring them again, and then turning into self-pity.

"Damn! I almost forgot the business!"

She woke up from the girl's dream and clicked on other posts. Indeed, many pictures were gone, and turned into little red crosses one by one. There were many new notifications in the background of the website, which were posted at midnight last night.

'Because of the notification from the copyright owner...Sports Photo Agency, the website has now deleted your...picture. '

'Based on the new version of the community agreement, this site believes that the pictures you posted in... are suspected of copyright infringement, and have now deleted them...If you have any questions, please send an email to...'

Much the same with minor differences, all of these words.

"What the hell! They worked so hard to get it!" She threw the mouse angrily.

At the same time, two freshmen at Northeastern University in Massachusetts also noticed this change. Both of them are active users of the American music website. Unlike Rashida, they mainly hang out on the music sharing board and prefer rock.

"WTF!?"

Sean Parker hugged his head in pain. All the songs he worked so hard to upload were wiped out, and his emotions quickly turned into anger, "Is it legal for them to do this? This violates our freedom!"

"The website space provided by private companies is not a public place, so it is not protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution?" Sean Fanning, also called Sean's companion, should be calmer, "Other websites seem to be blocking similar sharing behaviors. This seems to be a unified action."

"FXXK! These bandits!!"

Sean Parker is a genius programmer, also quite business-minded, and bold, he had a flash of inspiration, "These Internet capitals are too arrogant, and users' sharing needs are still there after they are blocked. This is a vast market! They I would rather not...then we just took the opportunity to develop our own software that is purely user-to-user sharing songs!"

"Napster!"

The two spoke in unison, expressing the dreams they had long had in their hearts.

"APLUS, are you still sleeping?" At Daniel's house, Song Ya answered the phone with a lot of missed calls in a daze. Optimistic about us giving up these users..."

"Hehe, haven't you been mentally prepared for a long time? Do you regret it?" Song Ya asked with a smile.

"It's not that I regret it, it's just that the stock price... the market value has fallen below 800 million, and it may fall again in the afternoon... Well, I do regret it now." Sloan admitted.

"There are no traitors on other websites, right?"

"But they are large in size, and the proportion of clicks affected is not high..." Sloan said: "AOL and WebChat only dropped slightly, and YAHOO also increased."

"oh?"

Song Ya got up and logged into YAHOO, "Their music community is also deleted?" He also found that many attachments could not be opened.

"You try his search engine." Sloan reminded.

Well, Song Ya casually typed the title of her own song, and searched for a lot of web pages that provide sharing and downloading.

"External stations, YAHOO can use search engines to divert traffic to those small websites and small sharing servers set up by individuals." Sloan complained unsteadily, "It's really cunning, it's hard to say whether it's a loss or a gain, I suspect they are already prepared , traitors! I will protest to them later."

"Who told them to have this function, it's a portal."

Song Ya smiled wryly, "Besides, it's not them who are being held by Universal, it's the American music website."

"Hehe, by the way, Jim Clark is looking for you, it's best to call back as soon as possible."

"OK."

Song Ya glanced at Shakira who was still sleeping soundly after washing, and went out alone to find something to eat, "Morning, Daniel." He met Daniel who was reading the newspaper in the restaurant, and greeted casually.

"Early?" Daniel smiled and pointed to the clock that was approaching twelve o'clock.

"hey-hey……"

Song Ya sat down opposite him, first asked the servant for a cup of coffee, and then called Jim Clark.

"What are your plans for Touchstone's opinion yesterday? I suggest that Yeremov change his schedule to early November, which is good for everyone." Daniel recalled what happened last night.

Song Ya pointed to the phone and made a gesture of calling.

"We feel we need to continue to put some pressure on the recording industry."

Jim Clark said over there, "Just to be on the safe side."

"Please say."

"It's APLUS, do you remember that there was a monopoly case with the six major record companies, and it is still pending?" Jim Clark asked, "The maximum fine may be as high as billions?"

"It seems that there is such a thing."

Song Ya was surprised and immediately glanced at Daniel. The other party was unconscious and was already concentrating on reading the newspaper. "Wait a moment." He got up and walked outside the restaurant.

"We all regret it a bit, this is too passive. I remember that the record industry joined forces to form a CD record price alliance, which triggered the RPM (resale price maintenance) in monopoly behavior, right? All six majors participated? Lead the initiative Or was your friend Daniel Glass, then president of Sony Columbia Records?"

Jim Clark said domineeringly: "We are going to provide some help to the plaintiff in private, tighten the noose for the recording industry, and let them be honest in the Digital Millennium Act. How about you persuade that Daniel Glass to become a tainted witness? He is The central figure, this way the progress will be much faster."

"That lawsuit is almost over."

Song Ya looked back at Daniel at the table again, and lowered her voice, "Going to court to testify against the record industry...will kill him socially."

"Haha, don't pretend to be a kind and tender guy, APLUS, we know it's not difficult for you."

Jim Clark laughed, "Isn't it? People have always admired your ruthlessness...and decisiveness."

"I'll think about it." Song Ya left a sentence and hung up.

"APLUS, why don't I ask the touchstone person today, let's talk to Yeremov together? Or did you ask him to come here?"

Daniel, who knew nothing about the conversation he had with Jim Clark just now, was still struggling with how to please Touchstone Films and not offend Leng Shan's partner.

"Let's talk about it." Song Ya perfunctory with complicated emotions, immersed in the food.
