Chapter 575 So It Was Marriage
Senator Warren was really straightforward in private, and he didn't even pay much attention to political correctness. He just opened his mouth and opened his mouth by pointing at African-Americans and making jokes about growing cotton.
"Have you ever heard of the theory of the smile curve? There are two high profit positions at the beginning and one at the end. The raw materials and technical patents at the source, and the sales, brand value-added and services at the end are all local. Just hand it over to someone else, and it will show up on the graph, which is a curve that looks a bit like a smile... Besides, even if those job opportunities can be kept in the United States, no one here is willing to do them."
It is inconvenient to continue talking about the specific help needed. Senator Warren shifted the topic to job opportunities, and Song Ya showed off a few theoretical knowledge in a broad way.
"Did the old guys at the University of Chicago teach you?" the other asked.
"Uh, I saw it at the airport bookstore..." Song Ya replied.
"Ha!" Warren laughed.
"The original text is about the electronics industry, but it is not a problem to apply it to the textile industry." Song Ya added.
"Are you really planning to make the brand like GAP?" Senator Warren shook his head: "I have never heard of any celebrity who has done this kind of business well."
"The GAP lobbyist isn't around, is he?" Song Ya gestured to look up.
This time, the two senators, Underwood, and Sloan were amused, "Most of my clothes are sold through outlets, Wal-Mart, Sears, Target and other shopping malls. There are plans for stores." Song Ya said.
Warren and McCann exchanged glances.
"APLUS." Underwood patted Song Ya on the shoulder, reminding him to leave, "Sorry, two senators, APLUS is here to visit the Capitol and cannot stay for too long."
"Bye, you're very interesting, full marks boy." Warren dealt with the steak in front of him again.
"Nice to meet you, Senator Warren, Senator McCann." He stood up and followed Underwood out of the restaurant, ignoring Ms. Sloan who stayed inside. "Is there hope?" he asked Underwood.
"Just do your best, other big companies are also watching this, don't rush to a conspicuous position." Underwood reminded, "Doug." He handed him back to Doug.
"Thank you very much, Congressman Underwood, thank you very much." After he solemnly thanked Underwood, he returned to the children of the choir with Doug, and then went through the normal open visit process and left the Capitol.
"Ms. Sloan will list an expense later, and then we will pay Ogilvy in the name of public relations fees, and Ogilvy will pay her lobbying firm in the form of consulting fees. The rest will have nothing to do with us."
Called Scout, and looked back at the majestic Capitol, even if he had completed his task, "Linda, how is the box office of dancing out of my life?"
"Beimi has been released for five weeks, with a box office of around 53 million dollars. In the sixth week, there are less than 900 theaters for the film. It has already been considered as a long-term screening. The box office ranking is expected to drop below the top ten." Linda reported.
"not bad?"
"Very good, plus the global box office can easily reach hundreds of millions." Linda said with a smile: "You got off to a good start in Hollywood, boss."
"Form for follow-up filming."
Song Ya wants to come to the form to take a closer look. The long-term screening of the first phase of Universal will last for a whole month, and the number of theaters will be reduced from more than 800 to 500 every week, until their blockbuster Time and Space Special Police () opens, after that They will conduct another evaluation and decide whether to continue the second round of long-term screenings.
However, the share of long-term screenings is very low, and the producers can't get much. It only helps to pile up a beautiful total box office figure. For me, it is a matter of personal reputation.
"The leading role of Time and Space Special Police is Jean-Claude Van Damme?"
Seeing the name on the form, Song Ya remembered that the Jedi Shuangzun crew where the other party was in had sniped and returned to the blue coral reef, and used the method of exposing Mira's black information and her relationship with him, which indirectly caused the two to break up.
"Yes, why?" Linda didn't understand the past, "Jean-Claude Van Damme has developed well in the field of hard-core action movies. Last year he took over the shooting of Ultimate Target, which was directed by Hong Kong director John Wu. of."
"Is it red?"
"Forget it, although the production cost of that kind of action movie is generally not high, but it especially needs a tough male protagonist to carry the box office alone. The space-time special police, like Grizzly in Masquerade, are both comic adaptations of Dark Horse Comics, and the production cost is 2,700 Wan." Linda replied.
Forget it, that incident is not necessarily related to Jean-Claude Van Damme himself. Since he is still popular, the current self can't step on it casually...
Song Ya shook off the thoughts in her head.
Next, I still need to make a very important decision, whether to go to the VMA Awards Ceremony in early September.
This is different from the situation last year. At this time last year, Redstone had not won Paramount, and he had no conflict of interest with himself who was close to Universal. He asked MTV's Les Garland in front of him to express I'm sorry, this year... But there is nothing, I and Mariah Carey have no awards to receive, and the VMA awards party still likes to make trouble...
"Fergie is nominated for best rap music video for London Bridge, but it's unlikely to win." Linda said: "I heard that MJ and Lisa Presley will go, this is his first appearance out of criminal lawsuits .”
"Then we won't go, Fergie can go alone."
I don’t want to accept the award, but I still have a cooperation project with MTV. Now most of the original soundtrack MVs will be recorded with the film’s wonderful plot clips interspersed with the singer’s pictures, which saves money and trouble, and can also borrow the pictures and popularity that come with the film.
This series of apocalypse music has no official MV to copy. Song Ya simply packaged the music video to the production department of MTV, which can be regarded as fulfilling his promise to Lei Shidong. After all, the original soundtrack MV of Lightning Dance that helped MTV a lot This method was used to play it in a loop at his home. Lei Shidong also said that if the filming of "Dancing My Life" is done well, certain resources will be given, but the old man doesn't seem to remember this.
MTV is currently negotiating with Universal Pictures and Sony Columbia Records, both of which are big companies. This kind of cooperation has certain rules and should be settled soon.
"Then it's not too far from your school day."
The summer vacation is over, and the summer vacation is over, "You ran back to Chicago to go to school again, Miss Kelly will definitely lose her temper, why don't you suspend school for another semester? BeWhatYouWannaBe is still at the top of the B list, and we also need high-intensity publicity Consolidate album sales."
Linda knew that he didn't want to interrupt his studies again, so he persuaded him carefully.
"What does Daniel mean?" Song Ya asked.
"Of course he wants you to sell more records, this is his first year at Sony Columbia Records," Linda said.
"Hey, Daniel." Song Ya called the other party, "How is my soundtrack selling?"
"Very good...uh, uh..." Daniel on the other end of the phone seemed to be in a trance, "We need you to continue to maintain the rhythm of APLUS."
"What's the matter? Did something happen?" Song Ya asked.
"There is a very unexpected situation..." Daniel said: "MJ seems to want to be in charge of Sony Music Copyright Company..."
"What?"
Song Ya was even more surprised, "Owned? Sony is willing to sell? That is the core asset of the record company."
"MJ offered to merge his ATV music library with Sony..." Daniel said.
This is shocking news in the music market, "ATV owns the copyright of many Beatles songs, right?" Song Ya asked.
"Sony also has Elvis Presley, Barbra Streisand, Kelly King, Michael Bolton, etc..." Daniel said, "And you and Miss Kelly..."
"Ha! So if the merger is achieved, wouldn't I have to pay MJ for singing my own songs in the future?" Song Ya laughed, "Same as Paul McCartney."
"Although it's a joke, it's true to say it seriously..."
Daniel said: "MJ just got out of the case and couldn't wait to show the music market that he was the king of pop."
"It has nothing to do with you, right? Anyway, Sony Music Copyright Company exists independently of Sony Columbia Records." Song Ya asked.
"It's really irrelevant, but I finally understand why Lisa Presley married him."
Daniel said: "Due to historical reasons, Elvis Presley's song copyright management committee has a great say in Sony's music copyright library...so MJ's joint action with Elvis Presley's daughter made the entire Sony very passive."
"Political marriage? That's how it is!" Song Ya gasped, "Lisa went to accompany MJ who was in a lawsuit last year, right?"
"Yes, that woman may have brought a mission, the Elvis Copyright Management Committee behind her, and Scientology..."
"No wonder Elizabeth Taylor said that Lisa Presley had ulterior motives and came to MJ's door when he was the most difficult and helpless. If it had been planned, it would be too calculated." Song Ya sighed, "At that time, she hadn't Divorce?"
"Yes, but the woman's brain is not so bright, and she has not fully grasped Elvis Presley's copyright assets. The idea will only come from the committee behind her. This deal is beneficial to them, because Elvis Presley's copyright committee is in Sony’s copyright library has a lot of power to speak and can benefit from the transaction...” Daniel said.
Shopping malls are like battlefields, these people really do everything they can, even marriage can be used as a bargain.
Song Ya hung up the phone, feeling a little pity. If she had agreed to Elizabeth Taylor before, she might be able to influence MJ in this transaction and seek benefits for herself...
