Text Chapter 1286: Flash mob and hip-hop competition
Knowing each other too well, Song Ya used various tricks to deal with her ex-wife. In fact, she and the people around her, such as the manager Sandy Glen, knew that keeping in shape and practicing dancing would help her career, and she knew that she was doing it for her , So half push half to see through.
The up-and-coming female singers are not as good as her in singing skills, but they are younger and more beautiful than the other, and they can dance. As the problem of piracy becomes more and more serious, the income from commercial performances, tours, and advertising endorsements accounts for an increasing proportion of the top singer's income. A good personal image and performance effect are required.
With the release of the Billboard charts on January 30, low and can't hold us were double-killed by Britney Spears' first single, baby one more time, on both the single and album charts, and Song Ya's Life has finally entered a relatively peaceful period, going to school, supervising his ex-wife, accompanying little Rega, and taking time out to take care of business.
The business really needs to be settled down. He was busy last year and spent too much time running around the world. He missed a lot of opportunities to make money, such as not paying attention to the online shopping sites in the United States and some e-commerce online payments. The rise of websites, online video sites.
There are also a lot of income settlements. For example, Sony Columbia Records made a lot of money last year from the World Cup platter album with the cup of life and selling their old albums by car. The box office share of the Titanic, the box office share of the world tour, the Madoff Fund The generous dividends and so on and so on.
"Let's buy some Internet stocks in these sectors. Yes, for companies that are not listed, see if there is any opportunity to participate in venture capital. It doesn't matter which round is fine. There are also aol stocks that increase their holdings... I know it is very expensive. .”
Laying a good foundation and planting more futures is better than anything else. Recently, the media began to spread the word, saying that because of the successful acquisition of PolyGram, the third generation of Bronfman’s personal wealth on the rich list this year is likely to exceed 4.5 billion knives. With a 50% increase in net worth in one year, the strength of other Bronfman family members in the Seagram Global Group will also increase in the same proportion.
There was a lot of pressure, and Song Ya didn't want to lose, so she held more and more meetings with stockbroker O'Grady and the president of A+ Venture Capital, Dr. Chen.
"You want to bet AOL wins the Microsoft antitrust case?" O'Grady asked.
After the merger of aol and Netscape, it became the main force to attack Microsoft. In the process of ie defeating Netscape browser, aol's betrayal played a key role, but this also means that aol, as Microsoft's former accomplice, held A lot of evidence of Microsoft's unfair competition has rebounded again, and the pressure of Microsoft's spin-off has increased sharply.
As a veteran telecommunications access provider, aol's energy is far from comparable to that of Netscape. With their joint efforts, after the passage of the Digital Millennium Act and the Internet Tax Exemption Act at the end of last year, the U.S. Department of Justice began to formally file allegations that Microsoft monopolizes the operating system and will browse Server software and Windows operating system software are illegally bundled and sold, antitrust cases have been filed at the federal level, and some states in the United States and foreign governments are also launching their own lawsuits.
In the recording industry, the Ministry of Commerce's investigation into the maintenance of the CD resale price was once again launched vigorously.
"Let's count it as a reason. The main reason is this. I really like this software..."
Song Ya clicked the mouse to open a newly discovered instant messaging software: icq, which was very familiar, but it was a pity that it was acquired by aol last year.
If he had the time and energy he has now last year, he would not let it go, it is not too late to make up for it.
"Okay, I understand."
O'Grady took a quick note, "Oh, by the way, don't say I didn't remind you, there is now a new round of verbal criticism against Internet concept stocks in the financial circles."
"It doesn't matter how many years they will bark."
Song Ya was not worried when there was a revelation from the apocalypse, "In short, it will be done as soon as possible, and I will ask the lawyers to cooperate." He got up and saw him off.
"Okay, let's take our leave then, please stay."
Investing is much easier than singing and dancing rap,
Even more profitable, Song Ya sent the two away, and then concentrated on reading the annual reports of Littman Media and 3dfx to be released next month.
3dfx made a lot of money last year. With the shipment of voodoo2, which outshined its competitors, and voodoorush2, which cooperated with PC machine manufacturers, and voodoo3 chips for Sega DC game consoles, its revenue doubled several times, and its stock price continued to rise. The situation is very good.
But Littman Media is much more miserable, huge losses, the Internet is burning too much money, and it is carrying a lawsuit with the Recording Association. The new opendiary website burns money faster than the American music website, because the weblog network Logs must provide users with free space, and the demand for bandwidth is also greater. Now the costs of network equipment, bandwidth, and storage are very high.
But it won’t work otherwise, weblog websites don’t have a big technical threshold, and the competition is much fiercer than in the niche music field.
Of course, this does not affect the market value of Litman Media to follow the bull market and continue to rise, after all, it is an Internet concept stock.
"We have to raise a sum of money to support OpenDiary's spin-off and listing."
He held a small meeting with Sloan again, and Sloan suggested: "It will be listed in the second half of the year, no problem, and then next year I plan to use the online website Crimereads, which cooperates with Grove Publishing, to spin off and go public. In the year after, modern photography, Stereo Reviews and other niche websites have been hyped up and listed one by one, Mr. Littman has always advised me to do this, and now that I think about it, it is indeed a good idea.”
"Haha, you agree with Litman?"
Song Ya smiled. Sloan had been annoyed by Littman chasing her and nagging her.
"I'm not dead-headed. Internet concepts are easy to go public, and the valuation is high. If you don't make money, you won't make money."
Sloan replied: "The ticket booking website that Barry Diller is in charge of IAC went public last year. How much is its market value now? There is also broadcast online sports video website, and the major giants are chasing each other. Traditional media companies such as Time Warner and Disney know about it. Follow the trend to speculate on concepts, and gain a lot...if they can do it, we can do it too.”
"You are really my good wife."
"Notice……"
"My words, ok, no problem." Song Ya answered quickly. His career and net worth were booming, he was in a good mood, and the second salary negotiation was successfully won, and Sloan agreed to raise his salary by five dollars.
"Oh, by the way, how was your chat with Alicia?"
At the end of the meeting, Sloan took out a fifty-dollar piece from his bag and put it down, asking questions while taking care of his posture.
"well!"
This matter was a bit of a headache. The governor and the mayor began to fight fiercely, and the governor's wife gradually began to help her husband in law. At this time, their interests were the same. Without the power of the governor, she would lose a lot of legal business.
Alicia was nothing more than helping Peter seek support, Song Ya sighed.
After all, Peter’s background is far inferior to Daly’s. At the time of the internal split in Chicago’s political circle, Daly clearly had the upper hand. Peter’s close friend of the real estate developer, Kozko, took shit. Daly caught him and then introduced him to the FBI. Ben forced Kozko to turn against the water, and punished Peter's black material.
"I don't want to stand in line, and I have the qualifications not to stand in line. Alicia dare not take the risk of her personal relationship being exposed. Now she can only play the emotional card to beg me." Song Ya said.
"So what do you think?" Sloan asked.
"I can't help much. Even if I am willing to publicly endorse Peter, so what if I provide more financial support? Now Daly Jr. is running for re-election and not Peter. His threat comes from whether Kozko can withstand the pressure, or in Get little Daly down before then."
Song Ya replied: "I still have a headache about the pressure on Daly. He will officially start his re-election campaign in April, and he has invited me to help stand on the platform."
"Little Daly wasn't as aggressive as Peter," Sloan said.
"But this time he seems to want everyone to express their opinions... Forget about this, it's very annoying."
Song Ya helped her get her long hair out of her neckline, "Anyway, I can handle it, you just need to concentrate on managing Litman Media."
"Well, then I'm leaving."
"No, I still have a plan."
Don't worry about the two TV stations under Littman Media. The ratings and subscribers have continued to grow through the Lewinsky case. The original a+cn and the current entertainment complex ace have been half-dead. The variety shows didn't make any waves, and the style that suddenly fell below the bottom line was criticized by the former middle-class black subscribers.
"Hip-hop competition show? mob... what is this?" Sloan flipped through it.
"Flash mob, that is, a group of dancers suddenly gathered in public places such as subways or parks to perform a group dance, and then it was recorded and broadcast on the Internet or the media. I think it will become popular. This allows people to see the real reaction of the people on the scene. Like those street prank shows."
During this period of time, Song Ya was also looking for new wealth growth points in the Apocalypse film. The original dance out of my life is a sequel, which has not yet appeared in this world line. He investigated the hip-hop competition they participated in, but found no similar activities or variety shows. There were dance competitions, but none focused on hip-hop.
Then do it, "just to fill out the quality of the program of ace, don't you think?"
"You are a fashion star, you know more about this than me..."
Sloan replied.
"Then it's decided? It will be released simultaneously with Dancing Out of My Life 3 movies. The flash mob event can be used as a means of publicity for the movie, playing suspense, gimmicks, arousing people's curiosity to warm up the movie, and then launching it simultaneously when the movie is broadcast. A street dance competition hosted by ace? The TV station can also attract attention and earn ratings."
"Okay, I let the people from ACE prepare?" Sloan also thought it was feasible, "Is it to cooperate with your a+ film studio?"
"Hmm. Also, I think the name is outdated after the a+ movie studio got involved in the production of variety shows. How about a+ entertainment? Be more formal, like Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment. In addition to making movies, they also Shooting TV series, TV movies, variety shows, everything."
"Then discuss it with Yeremov."
Sloan is increasingly unwilling to take care of affairs other than Littman Media. She is already tired of having a big business in her hands. She also wants to participate in the affairs of the Council on Foreign Relations, gaining qualifications, exposure and contacts in top think tanks.
"Um."
"Hey! Don't touch your dirty hands! Be quiet when you're not calling service!"
The two were flirting, and the phone on the boss's desk rang.
"What's the matter Hayden." Song Ya answered, "Is there any progress on Gotti's side?"
"Not yet... The news just came out that Seagram Global Group used 600 million dollars to buy back all the shares of Geffen Records and MCA Records owned by David Geffen. Hollywood is rumored that Bronfman Jr. will kick him out. Already!" Hayden reported excitedly.
"Get out? Is there anything wrong with the business itself?" Song Ya asked.
"We at William Morris have calculated that David Geffen must have made a lot of money compared to the value of David Geffen when he sold Geffen records a few years ago. However, it is rumored that Bronfman Jr. and Merrill Lynch are planning an IPO. The valuation of Graham Global Group is 50 billion, and according to that valuation, David Geffen's shares should be able to sell for 750 million instead of 600 million." Hayden replied.
"They were worth 50 billion in their dreams, right?"
Song Ya sneered, and the three generations of crazy rich tossed and lost hundreds of millions of dollars. It was a good idea. For this matter, it must be messed up. Don't give up if you don't take revenge. "Don't worry about it, keep urging Gotti, I need him I will prove his ability!"
"yes!"
"Huh? By the way, what is David Geffen doing these days? Where did he go? No sound or picture..."
Song Ya turned to think of this Hollywood bigwig 'friend', as one of the Big Three of DreamWorks, who had hardly seen anyone else during the awards season of Saving Private Ryan, the Golden Globes on January 25 I watched the broadcast of the award ceremony myself, and Spielberg and Katzenberg were there, but I really didn't see David Geffen.
