Chapter 1505 Until Death Is a Teenager
"I guess David will call you soon."
Katzenberg, who had a close relationship with David Geffen and Harvey at the time, should have known something about "harming the alliance". He misunderstood Song Ya's silent move away from the crowd as disappointment.
"I guess so."
As an early member of the Harassing Alliance and a traitor, Song Ya was not disappointed. After sighing, he was already looking forward to the reward for himself after MJ passed the test.
Finally, I want to get back the copyright of those songs...
"Be careful that Katzenberg compromised with Goldman Sachs on the eve of the EGM. Although he was tricked by the Goldman-George Mitchell-Eisner alliance, Goldman Sachs helped his DreamWorks Animation spin off from DreamWorks Studios all the way. After successfully going public, we will not just leave him alone, and we are trying to get him to follow David Geffen and Spielberg to go to Redstone’s Paramount, so that the Big Three of DreamWorks can reunite there.”
As soon as Katzenberg and his party were dealt with, he began to imagine excitedly, when a soft hand was put on his shoulder, and Sloan's flaming red lips approached his ear, "Jobs is also happy to see it, so when the time comes, we and Lin Dayton is likely to face a situation where no one can replace Pixar."
"For him, returning to Disney and accomplishing his personal revenge against Eisner is undoubtedly the best and most beautiful ending..."
The two stared at Katzenberg's back and talked, and Song Ya said: "I don't know him very well, but if it were me, I would only consider other options after this goal is completely impossible to achieve."
"You're paranoid," Sloan said.
"He doesn't have as much money as I do, but he's definitely not short of money. You have to do something positive for life, don't you?"
"A long-established Hollywood tycoon has traveled thousands of miles to meet you in Chicago. It doesn't mean anything positive to him, does it? Don't tell me you didn't try to take the opportunity to take away his troubled animation company."
"How could I not have tried it? I have qualified bloodthirsty instincts."
Opportunities appeared in front of him, and he would not forget to hit a shot, whether it was a date or not. Others did it to him, and he did it to others. Song Ya felt that he was becoming more and more like a vulture.
"That's another point in his heart."
"Business is business, just ask, he can understand."
"Right……"
Sloan laughed.
"Disney's Game of Thrones is getting more and more interesting. Jobs is noncommittal to Eisner's CEO invitation and cooperates with Eisner to prevent Dreamworks Animation from cooperating with Disney, but at the same time he always maintains a temporary shareholder with Roy Disney and us. The tacit understanding of the conference, that is to say, he still intends to drive Eisner away."
"Jobs was aloof from the heart, from the inside out, he hated Eisner, he publicly scolded Eisner, he said he couldn't stand working with Eisner, then he wouldn't end up with Eisner stand under one roof."
"He wants to play Eisner, and Eisner wants to play him. Time may be more favorable for Eisner, and Disney's stock price is recovering."
"It's only about twenty-six dollars. Eisner is finished. Both shareholders and politicians have noticed that Disney has fallen into chaos."
"Underwood's lobbying seems to have had the opposite effect on George Mitchell. We failed to drive a wedge between him and Goldman Sachs. Instead, he used his position as chairman to suppress Linton's live-action movie gang."
"That's only because it's not an election year yet. If we persist until 2008, no, George Mitchell will have to consider his return to politics in about 2007. At that time, he will have to distance himself from Paulson, and No matter what, we have to manage the relationship with AB station better."
"It seems to be true, but long-term complex games often have accidents. Don't forget that in Marvel, the final winner was neither Carl Icahn nor Perelman, but a previously unknown toy seller. Avi Arad, Disney has no shortage of high-level executives with similar potential." Sloan reminded: "Institutions and small and medium shareholders are already tired of fighting with us."
"In any case, drive Eisner away first, let His Majesty the Emperor realize the reality."
"You still insist that Eisner, after giving up the struggle, would choose you and Linton over Jobs and Robert Iger?"
"He hates Jobs more than I do, just like he tried to cut off Katzenberg's return in the end after showing his favor to Katzenberg in every possible way, he hates Katzenberg more than Jobs... Men have It's time to fight."
"You are very confident. While openly rebelling, you also expect to become the successor of His Majesty the Emperor, but I want to say that the Disney incident has already involved too much of your energy." Sloan said: "Actually, after you take Warner Records, you will You can withdraw and retreat at any time, isn't it a little bit upside down now?"
"Yeah, I almost forgot that I was only in it to protect my interests in the record and movie business at Disney... But that's it, I just want to win."
Song Ya opened her five fingers and clenched her fists again, "Simply winning may mean nothing to a businessman, but it means everything to a man..."
"Oh, man..."
A hundred-dollar bill suddenly appeared in Sloan's hand, and he hooked his chin with his index finger and middle finger to tease him.
Without further ado, Song Ya tore off the loose T-shirt from the neckline.
"Cluck..."
"Hahaha! Hayden! Zecheng! Hurry up! Let's go!"
In the evening, Song Ya and Sloan walked out of the room laughing, and he slapped his hands loudly and urged, "Hurry up! Zecheng, are you ready? Take all the people and documents you need to bring! Don't miss anything! "
"Almost all right, boss."
Song Zecheng appeared with a briefcase in his arms, "Can't you wait any longer? Give me a little more time so I can prepare more thoroughly."
"GOGOGO!"
Song Ya rubbed her hands and trotted into the car excitedly, "Can't wait, Hayden said that after MJ wins the lawsuit, he plans to leave the United States as soon as possible, there is no time, hurry up!"
The value of Sony Columbia's song copyright is now a secondary factor for him, meaning, the most important thing is meaning.
A group of people went to the airport by car, reversed the 757, reversed the car, and rushed to the place where MJ was temporarily staying at the speed of light.
"Congratulations, Michael."
It was very late, and MJ's physical condition was also very bad, his pale face collapsed even more, but his spirit looked much stronger than when he just left the court, and his eyes were still innocent like a child.
Originally, no matter what, it is always a happy thing to win the lawsuit completely. Song Ya can't remember when the two of them faced each other last time. The traces of time on MJ's body are too obvious, but after all, the other party is almost fifty years old , he congratulated loudly. When hugging, he felt that MJ’s nightgown was empty, and he weighed less than Amy. MJ is 1.8 meters tall. “Haha, I knew you could pass the test. How do you feel?”
"very tired……"
MJ replied with his trademark gentle soft voice: "Thank you for your help AP Lou S."
"I know, I know, I should..."
It is indeed too miserable to be harmed by the alliance. David Geffen and Howard Stringer should be very disappointed today. Because of his secret warning, MJ should not let David Geffen and the others get too much during the court offense and defense. These Song Ya didn't care either, it had nothing to do with him.
But winning this lawsuit does not mean the end of everything for MJ. As long as he still has half of the Sony/copyright library in his hand, Sony has been adding weight to the copyright library through natural growth and acquisitions, and he can only borrow Nishi Minato held on to that half of the share.
He won and was acquitted of all 14 counts. Nothing can mean more to a person than getting his wronged wronged. This time he didn't compromise again. His family basically united and stood by him, DIVA His younger sister Jenny went to the court to testify for him in person. The elder sister who caused trouble in the last lawsuit has recollected it, and she is still a moth. There are also many friends in Hollywood and the record industry who have firmly supported him under tremendous pressure.
But he also lost everything, all his capital: his body was even more broken, and Jenny was overwhelmed by the Super Bowl incident halfway through. After the incident, countless people fell into trouble. They ridiculed him, he was heavily in debt, his personal music career was hopeless, and he even had doubts about the country itself.
Just like in the movie Kingdom of Heaven, Saladin described what Jerusalem, which lost countless lives and took back at countless costs, meant to him and the people in the Middle East. Nothing, it’s just a city, no different from other cities, and it doesn’t represent anything. Everything, it also represents everything, the lost holy place, the long-untasted victory, the joy of revenge, dignity, glory, all...
When the two met this time, there was no one else around, except Hayden and Song Zecheng on Song Ya's side. The owner MJ had only followed him for many years and had proved his loyal private lawyer Blanca. Song Ya could speak freely, "Why didn't you come back?" Neverland, live here?"
After ten years of entanglement, he didn't even have time to care about the surrounding environment, but he keenly caught a large stack of documents in the hands of the smiling Branca, and his eyes wandered there from time to time.
"If I go this time, I may never come back."
MJ replied with a wry smile. Neverland Ranch, where all his good feelings were entrusted, has also lost his feelings because of the vicious persecution of the local prosecutor. "I will fly to Bahrain and live there."
"Come on, Michael, it's okay to go there to recuperate for a while, but..."
Song Ya thought he wanted to switch to another religion, "Doing that would not be good for you in the eyes of Americans. You just won the lawsuit, and it was time to take advantage of the victory to pursue it. You can't escape... Do you, do you hate me?" What do you think about the Jewish rabbis and spiritual masters who framed you in this case, who defected to the Middle East at this time and controlled the American media?"
"I did not expect……"
Of course, MJ couldn't be free from pimples, "I just want to ease the relationship with them. After the incident of discriminatory lyrics..."
"Haha, you are different."
Now that MJ is leaving, Song Ya simply said a little more sincerely, "You are not like Escube and Rakim's gang of rap street Ngers, they are just superficially religious, and they don't abide by alcohol, meat, and other precepts. It’s almost impossible to get rid of the Middle Eastern people...Escube scolded the Jews in the song, but they still have a good time in Hollywood...Actually, I am the same, and I can’t scold them, let alone join the Middle East.”
"It's okay, I'm just going to live there." MJ didn't want to talk about this topic, he raised his hand wearily and motioned to Blanca.
Blanca took the document to the small table in front of the two of them.
Song Ya licked her lips, her eyes lit up, and her hands hidden under the table began to rub together again.
"I know you are participating in Disney's struggle, this is my gift to you." MJ smiled and made a gesture of invitation.
Disney? Sony, hehe, your mental state is poor, and you mispronounced the name, Song Ya looked down...
Um?
Really Disney, this looks like a document pledging Disney stock to Citibank...
"No, you..."
This time, Song Ya herself was also punished. Still in disbelief, she stretched out her hand and flipped through it. There was no sign of her song copyright. She turned her head and looked at Hayden and Song Zecheng who were equally at a loss, "It's gone?"
"Let's say thank you."
MJ smiled sincerely, "I invested some money in Disney in the late 1980s, hoping to help your business. Of course, these stocks have been mortgaged, but you can find Citi to redeem them at a slightly lower price than the current price. "
"The current price is exactly 100 million knives. Based on the current market value of Disney, the shareholding ratio is a little over 0.2%."
Song Zecheng picked up the document and said after a brief review.
"Three times more than when I bought it."
MJ even started to brag about his investment vision like a child, raised his hand triumphantly and gestured for the number 'three', and his tone was rarely joyful.
Damn! How many times do I care about you! I want this 0.2% dry egg!
Song Ya was furious on the spot, and the tens of billionaires jumped up without grace, barking their teeth at the weak MJ who was stuck on the sofa, "Where are my songs? Where are my copyrights? I want the copyrights of my songs!" The middle school student at Ling's desk clenched his fists as big as sand bowls and roared, "I thought we had a tacit understanding on this matter!"
"Hey! Hey! Calm down AP dew!"
Blanca hurriedly pushed him back, and the 1.92-meter-long man punched down MJ, who would definitely die, "How could you do this!? Giving you this foreclosure means that he gave you thousands of dollars for nothing. Thousands of dollars! Isn’t that enough to express his gratitude? Besides, isn’t Disney’s stock very important to you now? Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it now!”
"I don't need that little money!"
Coming here on a whim, Song Ya was really pissed off this time, and threw away Hayden who was hugging her from behind, "Besides, does he have the money to redeem him? You are all in debt! Don't think I don't know!" Swearing at MJ's nose.
"I still have the copyright library, and I only have the copyright library AP Lus, I'm not in good health, I want to leave it to my family and children..."
MJ turned his face away, and said as thinly as a mosquito: "I'm sorry AP Lu S."
"As long as you and your family own it for a day, Sony will keep deliberately lowering its price, and there will be no holes for you to fill!"
Song Ya retorted: "And I don't want all of them, I just want to get back my own things! This time I helped you so much!"
MJ was very stubborn, still shaking his head, "I'm sorry AP Lus."
"Children...hehe, can your family and children keep it? That's right..."
Song Ya suddenly thought of what Aaron Brugman, who was MJ's lawyer at the time, said in his ear when he failed to take away the copyright of these songs because of his ex-wife's revenge, "For so many years After suffering so many blows, you haven't changed MJ at all...You expect to hold the copyright library in your hands, and you are still the king of kids...Right?"
"Sorry AP Lou S, I really don't know how to say it. I want to accompany those classic songs that will go down in history to complete the journey of life. I don't want to say goodbye at all. The songs of the Pied Warriors, the songs of Barbra Streisand, Cher's, Michael Bolton's, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion... yours, mine." MJ didn't answer directly, and apologized repeatedly.
"Right?!" Song Ya pressed.
"After I leave, Neverland will also be deserted, but the one in my heart will always be there..."
MJ solemnly pressed his heart to answer.
