Chapter 1390 Those Dog Noses

"Recently about me, about my enemies and other related rumors, I don't want anyone in this room to make irresponsible remarks in response to the media..."

Metropolitan Records Headquarters, with the wall of honor displaying the platinum certification of Jazzy and other signed singers, and various trophy replicas as the background, Song Ya gathered the senior staff and singers under the banner to announce the gag order, "The consequences of fouling will be very serious. , I will only say this time..."

He pointed to his eyes domineeringly, "I'm staring." Then he pointed to the audience.

Everyone was dressed up because they were invited to the party held by the Blade 2 crew. The singers lacked discipline. Groups and singers for global activities are also difficult to gather neatly. For example, the Daft Punk band in the UK did not show up.

"Yeah!" Damon Dash echoed cleverly in the crowd.

"Um."

Song Ya's stern patrolling eyes met Beyoncé who was standing in the C position among the little sisters, and immediately accelerated to pass by.

"Hey! What happened?"

The younger sister, Foxy Brown, came late, and she asked immediately after entering the door: "There are a lot of reporters from Brooklyn, and they are all over the Def Jam record..."

"Please tell each other."

Song Ya didn't bother to pay attention to her, and today she stopped laughing and laughing as she used to call her brothers and sisters with her singers. After finishing what she wanted to say, she patted Foxy Brown on the shoulder and walked out.

The singer and the staff were a little dazed for a while, but immediately after Song Ya's tall figure disappeared, they buzzed and chatted with each other lazily towards the bar counter, buffet counter and other places.

"Let's follow." Damon Dash thought it was a good opportunity and urged Jazzy.

"Fxxk! Don't push me!" Jazzy pushed his hand away impatiently, "I don't need you to teach me what to do!"

The skirmish between the 'two brothers' immediately attracted everyone's attention. Damon Dash, who is pregnant with the popular singer Aaliyah, is in the most embarrassing period, and he can't accept Jazzy's attitude, "Ha! So you still have to delay When is the time? Don't think about missing a penny from me and Biggs M-FXXK!" He was furious at the beginning, and pushed Jazzy hard with both hands on the spot.

The two were born and raised in the same neighborhood, and their attendants were almost all old homies from the neighborhood. After a daze, they stood in two distinct groups to confront each other.

"Hey! Come on!" Arya screamed and stood between the two, separating them.

"SHXT!"

Jazzy touched his chin irritably, and the picture of seeing Lyle Cohen, the president of Def Jam records, completely collapsed and lost his mind yesterday appeared in his mind. He was so courageous that he didn't even dare to ask APLUS to redeem his own record label.

But as a real gangster in the New York rap scene, he couldn't admit to Damon Dash in public, "Isn't it just for that little money? I can afford it, come on! Let's settle the matter today!" "

Forget it, he decided to redeem the shares of Damon Dash and Biggs first, using his own money.

Hearing that he could finally get the money, which was tens of millions, Damon Dash stopped talking harshly and followed Jazzy to the Roc-A-Records office.

Beyoncé watched as the crowd huddled away, "What's going on?" she asked her father, Matthew Norris, owner of Metropolis-owned Music World Entertainment Records.

"I don't know. I just saw Mr. Daniel Glass. Something big might have happened."

Matthew Norris doesn't want to care about the outside world. Now that Destiny's Child Second College has exploded, the other three members of the group have started to complain one after another, saying that his precious daughter, Beyoncé, has gotten all the benefits of the spotlight and income. The front is busy appeasing the inside.

"I don't know the specific content of the short report, but I want to say that our Def Jam is a record company with a long history. We are deeply involved in the East Coast. In the history of hip-hop and rap..."

Metropolitan Records President's Office, Lyle Cohen on the TV screen is not bad except for his pale face. Outsiders can't see that he was really planning to commit suicide before. After being chased by the reporters and intercepted by the car, he suddenly turned around and began to evade the important and ignore the trivial. And talk.

"Is that you APLUS?"

Daniel, who came from Los Angeles, turned off the TV and asked.

"What does it have to do with me?"

The period from Tiger Fund’s release of the short-selling report to Vivendi Global’s suspension of trading is the most dangerous moment for the revenge plan. Song Ya knows that once it is launched, it is difficult to say that it can be perfectly kept secret, and people like Daniel know themselves well and have always had a keen sense of smell. My close friends are also beginning to have doubts.

He categorically denied it and interrupted, "Daniel, Metropolis Publishing Company will lose a lot of money if it does this again this year. Don't you have a solution?"

"What? You also want to find a home for the distribution company? We have finally established a global distribution network, although it is not perfect..." Daniel asked back.

"No, I will not give up the publishing business easily."

Not only did the self-owned distribution network fail to break through the ceiling of the industry, but it also belonged to an existence that attracted the top five in the record industry and even the top seven in Hollywood. Song Ya was still hesitant to give up, mainly because it was annoying to keep losing money and need continuous blood transfusions, "I'll wait. See Redstone, maybe talk about that."

"The board of directors of Litman Media attacked Viacom's board of directors. Redstone should not be very happy with you now, right?" Daniel was well-informed and also noticed that Viacom collected 100% of Litman Media through the stock market disaster. five or more shares.

"Sure, it's a bad feeling to be targeted by a media mogul like that."

Song Ya dealt with her old friend, and rushed to Lei Shidong's date without stopping.

"Mr. Redstone."

Redstone was watching Blade Runner 2 in his mansion in New York, and when Song Ya arrived, it was almost over, "APLUS, your series is great, Marvel's superheroes... Fox Films' X-Men box office and DVD sales and rentals are also good, right?" The old man glanced back in the dark front row of the viewing room, "Please sit down."

"Yes, but this summer file belongs to you and Liangtang's Mission: Impossible 2..."

Song Ya sat down beside him. This summer, Paramount's Mission: Impossible 2 was sold very well. Although he and the Blade Warrior made a lot of small tricks behind the scenes, in front of the big boss, the compliment should still be Courtesy compliment.

His own Blade series and the X-Men series bought by Fox have been sold continuously to Marvel Comics to adapt the movie, pointing out a broad road. Maybe Lei Shidong has an interest in following suit? But Song Ya didn't have the energy to pay attention to so many extra things for the time being.

"hehe……"

Lei Shidong never concealed his distaste for Liangtang, he accepted the compliment but was not very proud of it, "It won't be sure next week, Littman Media used the kind of 'suspected vampire from a secret experiment in Mao Zi' The online viral marketing method of "Escape Room" to help promote Blade Runner 2 is very effective."

Song Ya smiled bitterly, "I made you laugh."

Compared with the flash mob hype of Dancing My Life 3, the viral marketing strategy formulated by Littman Media's online consulting service department for Blade 2 is a bit too deliberate, which effectively helped the box office and also attracted a lot of criticism. This marketing model has been criticized by vigilant professionals and movie fans.

The videos of the vampires running in the Maozi wilderness captured by infrared cameras caused widespread discussion on the Internet, but they were full of flaws.

"Um."

At this time, the last battle of Blade Warrior 2 began to play on the screen. Lei Shidong stopped talking and concentrated on watching.

Song Ya remembers that this is the second time he has accompanied the media tycoon to watch a movie. The last time he watched the sample of the Titanic with News Corporation boss Murdoch. After life, hold the injured Harley and watch the sunset together.

The skin of Harley, who was revived by the blood of the blade warrior, was broken and healed in the sun, and eventually evolved into a half-human, half-vampire hybrid creature like the blade warrior who is not afraid of the sun. Zack Snyder combined this CG with the actual shot It was shot very beautifully. At the same time, it also left a tail for the plot that caused the third part...

When the red ending subtitles appeared, Lei Shidong signaled to his subordinates that the movie ended and the lights in the viewing room turned on.

"APLUS, Viacom needs a board seat, which is why we invested in Litman Media."

Lei Shidong started to talk about business, "Maybe I didn't communicate with you well before and caused a misjudgment between the two parties. Please rest assured that we are not interested in malicious mergers and acquisitions. It is just a general business behavior to expand our influence."

"With your words, I am relieved, Mr. Lei Shidong." Song Ya replied indifferently.

"So I can look forward to the next board meeting?" Redstone would not let him get away with it.

"Uh, although I am the chairman of Litman Media, I can't give you a 100% guarantee. You know that my actual control over that company is not as high as the outside world expected." Song Ya continued to perfunctory.

"On the contrary, after my own research, I got a completely different result from yours."

Lei Shidong said: "Your time and mine are precious, there is no need to be too hypocritical."

"I know, so let's just say Mr. Redstone, Litman Media is an African-American co-founded company, we are also very interested in Johnson's Black Entertainment Television Network, and I know your Viacom Mu is a potential competitor."

Create one without negotiating chips, Song Ya replied: "For example, Gordon from Taiwan was formerly Johnson's old subordinate, and there are many employees from ACE..."

"Ha! Can you raise the funds to bid with us?" Lei Shidong was a little angry when he heard his hidden sharp words, "BET is not cheap."

"You know, I've been trying to raise money recently," Song Ya replied.

I am indeed raising money, the clothing company and the wine business are looking for a next home, and David Letterman has said that he does not rule out selling the stocks of companies such as YAHOO, and the outside world has already spread a lot.

Compared with Litman Media's board of directors, it is obviously more important for Lei Shidong to win the BET that is already on his lips. He turned his head and looked at Song Ya with sly eyes, "So this is your offer?"

"Yes."

"I rarely accept threats to APLUS." The old man said domineeringly.

"I'm very unlucky this year, and I'm organizing a second line of defense. I don't want to threaten anyone at this moment." Song Ya used irony to clarify the bottom line.

"Well, the matter of the board of directors can be slowed down. Recently, the Microsoft monopoly case is about to come to a conclusion in the federal appeals court. Gore's poll also leads George Jr. by a large margin. I believe your investment in the New York stock market will improve."

Redstone held out his hand.

"Thank you, Mr. Lei Shidong." Song Ya shook hands with him, then got up to leave.

"Are you and Tiger Fund dealing with the Bronfman family and the French?" Redstone asked suddenly without getting up to see him off.

"I don't have the energy to play that kind of game right now, even though I hate Bronfman Jr."

These people's noses are sharper than dogs, and Song Ya reacted very quickly with a wry smile.

"Really? I heard from my friends on Capitol Hill that Congressman Underwood cares a little bit about the approval process of the Vivendi Universal merger. That's none of his business. He has a long-term friendship with you, right? "

Lei Shidong's words really hit the nail on the head.

There is no way, the more dangerous it is on the eve of the launch, the smell of the capital's flesh and blood will definitely attract flies from all walks of life, Song Ya shrugged his shoulders pretending to be relaxed to express his confusion, "Goodbye, Mr. Lei Shidong."

"See you later." Lei Shidong said meaningfully.

Can a person born in 1923 still be so aggressive after half of his body buried in the ground? After Song Ya left, the muscles at the corners of her mouth twitched because of her nervousness, and she complained silently at the same time.

"APLUS, your schedule... Beimi is running all over the place, and he will go to the book next week, don't you want to keep an eye on them yourself?"

Milton Davis, the chairman of South Bank Bank, who joined in halfway, was more nervous than him. South Bank Bank's main business is to provide microfinance for poor residents in the black community. Preferential policies and projects for voters, but in the final analysis, it is a small and medium-sized bank whose business scope has almost never left the United States. Seeing that the launch is imminent, Milton Davis actually chased all the way to New York.

"Damn it, you shouldn't be by my side!" Song Ya, who was upset by Lei Shidong, reprimanded him, "Go back to where you should be! I'm running the announcement of Blade Warrior 2! Don't you Want me to be reported by the media for suddenly disappearing from playing at a time like this!?"

"Don't worry about APLUS, I have a good reason to be here today."

Milton Davis followed suit and refused to let go, and he had good reasons, because the place where the two appeared was a fundraising dinner hosted by the first lady for running for the New York State Senate. It is the banking ally and staunch supporter of the two.

Song Ya had no choice but to wipe her face with her hands and switch to a smile, and greeted the first lady and Alicia.

Alicia is also here today. As the wife who is about to inherit Peter's political legacy, she has been frequently exposed in various public events recently, preparing for the next year's run for Cook County State Attorney.

"APLUS, Milton, thank you for coming."

They are all benefactors. Although it is a bit embarrassing to meet again because of the East Hall bathroom incident, this is not the White House after all. The first lady and Alicia entertained the two benefactors with joy. The election situation here is much more stable, and the opponents of the Elephant Party hardly pose much threat. She is obviously in a good mood.

"It's an honor to see you again, First Lady."

Song Ya stepped forward, "Maybe next year it's time to call you Ms. Senator. Alicia, Hi..." He shook hands with the two ladies who were about to shed their names as politicians' wives and get rid of the shadow of men.

"Hello, APLUS." Alicia seemed a little reserved on the contrary, and she couldn't let go of it on such occasions.

"Do you want to take a photo together?" There was a photographer at the scene, holding a camera and asking.

"OK." The first lady readily agreed.

Song Ya stretched her arms around her and Alicia, and grinned at the camera with white teeth.

"Ahahaha!" The first lady raised her head and laughed out loud at his artistic gesture, while Alicia turned her head slightly to him and smiled brightly.

The photographer presses the shutter and freezes this scene.

"Peter said you may have been secretly involved in this Def Jam record incident, is that true APLUS?"

After finally getting rid of the entangled Milton Davis, Song Ya and Alicia found an opportunity to quickly check in somewhere at the fundraising dinner. Alicia asked while facing the mirror of the sink to apply makeup.

Why does it seem like the whole world knows about it? Song Ya rolled her eyes, Peter has a keen sense of politics, and Alicia had represented the legal affairs of some companies he invested in New York, and the couple knew themselves very well, "It's nothing like Alicia, I'm bothering myself now Business can't be bothered..."

"Take it easy, Peter and I won't spoil your business," Alicia said.

"Then let's not talk about this." Song Ya stepped forward and helped her arrange her beautiful long chestnut hair in a gentlemanly manner.

"Why don't Lyle Cohen die!"

In Paris, Bronfman Jr. became more and more aware of the seriousness. As soon as he sent Vivendi CEO Messier away, he yelled at his subordinates: "That bastard! Scum! He deceived me and failed me! I still let go Let him buy Universal and Polygram's east coast hip-hop label to fill his hole!"

After his subordinates carefully studied and judged the short-selling report of Tiger Fund, he finally found that many bubbles in Def Jam records had blown up as early as the Polygram period. He asked Doug Morris angrily, "Am I the last one?" knew!?"

As the president of Universal Music Group, Doug Morris will never get rid of the blame, and he will not answer stupidly, "Isn't it caused by your eagerness to acquire Polygram?" ’ For such low EQ words, grab your coat and briefcase, “I’ll go back to New York and handle it myself.” It’s best to go with thirty-six tricks.

"Don't admit any accusations!" Little Bronfman yelled at the back of his subordinates who hurried out: "Criticism, stigmatization, cold treatment, diversion of investors' attention, no matter what, in short, minimize the impact of that short-selling report! It's a death order! If you can't do it, don't come back to see me!"

"Don't worry, boss."

Doug Morris kept walking, and before he closed the door casually, he heard the sound of the TV being smashed in the room.

Didn't expect to get out so easily? On the way to the airport, he rejoiced secretly, and then smiled wryly, the wisdom of the French red-clothed protagonist Richelieu, under the hands of a mean and narcissistic boss like the rich three generations, this time's difficulties will never be overcome, and he wants to keep jobs unless...

It's time, and when he was constantly disturbed, he took out his mobile phone and called Messier, "Mr. Messier, I'm sorry that this happened... Yes, I'm going back to the United States to deal with it, uh ...Mr. Bronfman is very emotional, yes, he is still young after all...I think it might be better for you to ask yourself this time..."

After getting a positive answer from Messier, he breathed a sigh of relief, saying that Vivendi Universal is already in the shape of the French, and the source of power for Bronfman Jr. in the subsidiary Seagram Global is Messi. The head office managed by Er.

He thought calmly in the car, then found out Daniel's number and dialed it, "Daniel...is it APLUS?"
