Chapter 714?
The latest website: I don’t know how to be serious about the Eight Classics, do you want to experience another kind of Kung Fu?
hum...
Regardless of the death of Marvel, Song Ya will accompany his wife in Hollywood, and occasionally visit her on the set of Star Dream Tears or go to the set of Cat and Mouse Game. When the rough cut version of the sequel of Dancing Out of My Life comes out, he will immediately start directing A+ Records affords the production of movie soundtracks.
In addition to fitting into high school life, young dumb will appear in his second album, he also selected a few new songs from Brenda and Fergie's new album, plus some songs invited from outside, trying to make the style unified and compatible on the plot.
Of course, the quality of the original soundtrack is far from comparable to the first one of the direct apocalypse. The sequel led by Universal is quite satisfactory, and it is younger and more middle-school than the first starring face of him and Amy, and the performance of the screen is not bad. Dance Finger Anne Fletcher's level is still the guarantee of the dance sequence, the scene is grander and more sophisticated, only the editing is more procrastinated than the first one, and the plot is much more empty.
The sequel project is progressing smoothly. It is still early next year's Valentine's Day schedule. He is not in a hurry, and he feels that the current internal atmosphere of Universal Pictures is a bit weird, like an overstretched guitar string. I was still nervous when I was undecided. On the one hand, there were related personnel of the Apollo 13 project who were happy and happy every day as if they were celebrating a festival. People fight very hard.
The future water world has repeatedly increased investment, and the production cost has reached as high as 170 million. The magnificent giant production has really affected the interests of too many people. Sinberg has meetings with the publicity department and the main creator of the film every day. I heard that The lights in the president's office stay on until the wee hours of the morning.
However, these have nothing to do with me. At the end of June, Song Ya went to Washington again.
"You betrayed me, Gordon."
At the BET headquarters, Johnson signed the document and said to Gordon who was sitting opposite: "You are nothing when you leave BET's big stage, remember my words."
Gordon behaved awkwardly in front of his boss for many years, "I admire you, Mr. Johnson, but... I need a platform that focuses more on the serious news field, and it's time for my personal career to take another step up... "
"I've been resenting me for putting my direction in entertainment content, I know, but the future will prove me right, always."
Johnson stopped writing, raised his eyelids to look at him, and then turned his gaze to Song Ya beside him, "Why do you think he can always get the best news entry points? It's because of me.
Without me, he couldn't have done that wonderful report on the Los Angeles riots. Without me, he couldn't interview the Grand Commander, MJ, and Simpson in prison, and then what? You'll soon find out that the acclaimed best Nger news anchor is just a useless embroidered pillow. "
Gordon is not young anymore, and his face is very ugly by Johnson's merciless face, but he still can't attack.
"Come on, Mr. Johnson, why don't you bless me and Gordon's new TV station together."
Song Ya picked up the wine glass on the table and gestured to Johnson.
"APLUS, you are a very good young man. I hope that one day in the future we will not become enemies." Johnson ignored his overtures, "I will always keep an eye on you."
"Oh Come on!"
Song Ya felt that this guy had returned to the disgusting look he had many years ago, "I don't want to be your enemy, and so is Gordon. My TV station content does not conflict with BET, and I don't dig from you except Gordon. Man, we don't even have a connection with BET as a cable service provider, and I'll spend a lot of money on advertising with you every year in the future! I'm a friend, not an enemy!"
"Don't talk about these useless APLUS, if it is not because I know very well that Gordon instigated you to open this station of yours, I will never maintain such a degree of restraint this time."
Johnson pointed the finger at Gordon again, "I said, why did you rush to go in person whenever you had an opportunity to visit APLUS in the past, no matter how far you were, how tired you were... You are such a fucking eater..."
"Okay, let's go Gordon."
Song Ya was too lazy to endure the arrogance in the old man's bones, and directly led Gordon, who was about to become his subordinate, out of the other's office.
The reason why I say "soon to be" is because according to the official agreement compromised by Johnson and Washington this time, Gordon can only appear on his A+CN after the big news of the Simpson case sentencing day in early October, and that will also It was the opening day of A+CN, a forty-five-minute evening news program on Comcast's channel resources.
"I've now been relegated to being a guest host on the BET Nightly News, and Johnson won't give me any exposure until August..."
Gordon was stunned by Johnson.
"Normal operation, Gordon, keep your spirits up. Johnson is right. You instigated me to set up this TV station. You have to bear the heaviest responsibility. It can't be like this..."
Song Ya was a little annoyed by him, "In order to catch up with the schedule, I spent a lot of money to ask Morningstar to help you build the company framework and management system, rented an entire floor of office buildings in Chicago, ordered a brand new OB van, and Clean up the president's office and make room for it! You should change your thinking to that of a manager now, I'll bring the meal to you, do you want me to hand you a pair of chopsticks?"
"Chopsticks?"
"You just need to understand what I mean!"
"I understand, I understand." Gordon courteously sent him and his entourage out of the BET headquarters.
Just after returning to the hotel where she was staying, Linda reported that Pierre Sutton had brought him here from New York. "He also brought a few people you might not want to meet," Linda said.
"who?"
"Quincy Jones, Russell Simmons, LL Cool J, Puff Daddy..."
"Fxxk, what do you mean? The Avengers?" Song Ya laughed.
"They may be the new competitors of the Inner City Broadcasting Company, and the Sutton family is going to have a showdown with us." Linda reminded.
"Then see you here, oh yes, Linda, call the future governor's wife over."
Song Ya suppressed her smile and decided to stand up.
"Oh, APLUS, APLUS, my little APLUS..."
As soon as Quincy Jones entered the door, he stretched out his hand in a strange way, "Have we not seen each other for a while?"
"It should be, I miss your old face very much, Mr. Jones." Song Ya squeezed out a smile and shook hands with him casually, "Pierre, Mr. Simmons..."
"Dad, have you solved your New York case?"
"Yo, LL Cool J brother."
Then he bumped fists with LL Cool J and Puff Daddy, and gave LL Cool J a hug, "Sit down, please, Alicia, sit down too."
"You have become much more polite, APLUS." Russell Simmons also took precautions, and was a little surprised to see that Song Ya had no intention of shaking hands vigorously.
"It depends." Song Ya sat down by herself, "Well, so many people came to Washington suddenly, I guess there is something very important?"
"Don't waste everyone's time, I'll just say it."
Pierre Sutton said: "Mr. Jones, Mr. Russell, and Puff Daddy and LL Cool J, and some friends in New York formed a new company, and the inner city broadcasting company under my management received their request not long ago. The capital injection quotation, like yours, still has a gap with the price in my heart. After discussing with my father, I think it is better for you to get together again? The inner city broadcasting company has no intention of swinging between the two bids, and the reality is not. Allow me to do this, I must get more than 30 million capital injections as soon as possible to avoid bankruptcy of the company..."
"Let's join hands and play together?"
Quincy Jones smiled and said, "APLUS, it's time to repair the relationship. Your new TV station is in Chicago, right? I can help."
"Sounds good? But you should say hello to me first, you don't have to come in person." Song Ya and Alicia glanced at each other, and she took the conversation, "So the inner city broadcasting company still maintains the original The conditions remain the same? 30 million capital injection..."
"Well, please wait Mrs. Flock."
Pierre Sutton stopped him from revealing the specific conditions to others, "The inner city broadcasting company is willing to accept higher capital injection and sell more board seats, but you both have to share the capital equally, and there are board seats."
"Then the manager is still you." Song Ya asked.
"Of course, there is no room for discussion in this regard," Pierre Sutton said.
"Okay, I agree, let's continue talking." Song Ya nodded, "Business is business, I understand."
"Are you willing to cooperate with me and Russell?" Quincy Jones was surprised.
"Why don't I want to?" Song Ya shrugged, "Now I am no longer the impulsive little boy I used to be."
Why don't I want to? I only need the influence on the inner city broadcasting company. Anyway, the Sutton family will never give up the management right, so it is a good thing to pay less money to ensure the influence, and it is always separated from Quincy Jones and the others. Cursing and scolding is also very annoying, their VIBE magazine is not well managed, but they already have a certain influence in the hip-hop circle, and it is always good to have fewer enemies.
"You have finally grown up APLUS."
Russell Simmons smiled a little weirdly, "I like you now, oh yes, to prove my sincerity, I have already sold 9.8% of my shares in Def Jam to PolyGram, the price is very good .”
"For... What?" Song Ya was so surprised that she almost spoke Chinese, "How did you do it? You can't sell it, so Polygram's shareholding in Def Jam Records exceeds 50%. Absolute control, which is not in line with the acquisition agreement we signed before."
"Haha, before you and Daniel relied on Lyle Cohen's cooperation to force me to transfer the equity of Def Jam at a low price. Now he can also cooperate with me to open the door and let Polygram in. Remember? You only have 17.6% of the shares , and I, Galilee Cohen, own more than 20% of the shares."
Russell Simmons smiled triumphantly: "PolyGram offered 100 million for the 20% shares, that's 100 million knives ah APLUS, Lyle Cohen and I couldn't refuse at all, sorry, we didn't inform you in advance, But now PolyGram probably won't be willing to pay more for the remaining shares, they hate you, and Daniel."
"WTF..."
Song Ya understands that 51% and 100% of the shares have absolute control, and it is meaningless for Polygram to buy more, which means they bought Def Jam from Sony Columbia Records for 50 million. After 50% of the shares, now I have bought an additional 100 million and bought about 21% of Russell Simmons and Lyle Cohen's shares, becoming the largest single shareholder. The 17.6% in my hand is empty to enjoy... 8 The valuation of more than tens of millions is irrelevant, and PolyGram will not be so stupid as to acquire it at this valuation!
That damn Lyle Cohen! He used himself and Daniel to squeeze out Russell Simmons in front of him, and then turned around and formed an alliance with Russell Simmons to get more than 50 million dollars from Polygram at one time!
Damn Polygram! They became insiders in the anti-monopoly lawsuit of the record industry, and now they have a lot of money to pay 100 million for the complete control of Polygram, a full 100 million. Without this money, Lyle Cohen would not have been knocked out. will submit.
What are the shares in your own hands? Isn't it embarrassing now? Oh, by the way, Mimi also bought a little bit, a little bit.
If PolyGram is willing to talk to me, maybe I will sell it if it is cheaper. 17.6 is not too much for 70 million, right? How much did you pay for it? It's only over seven million dollars. I didn't expect the record industry to be taken advantage of like this? Philips, behind PolyGram, is in the DVD camp opposite DTS and Panasonic. During the process of acquiring Def Jam, they approached themselves, but at that time, they cooperated with Daniel to handle the other side, plus the antitrust case...
His face darkened, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
"Don't be surprised, Polygram wouldn't have thought of it if I hadn't raised money to buy the Inner City Broadcasting Company and Polygram hadn't mentioned it. They hate you and Daniel."
Russell Simmons was finally satisfied with his reaction, and continued to increase the intensity of stimulation, "I heard that Daniel seems to be in trouble recently?"
"I see."
Song Ya suddenly realized, looked at him and Quincy Jones, "Did you come here on purpose to laugh at me face to face today?"
"Hahaha, your expression just now was very funny, very funny." Quincy Jones laughed.
"Fxxk You!" Song Ya scolded him, then turned to look at Puff Daddy.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Puff Daddy raised his hands and said, "Hey, Russell, aren't we here to talk about cooperation? LL Cool J, what about you?" I just don't know if it's true or not.
LL Cool J pouted, "The Def Jam shares in my hand were also sold to Polygram."
Pierre Sutton was really out of the situation, "Mr. Quincy Jones, are you using me?"
"No, we want to cooperate, okay, let's not talk about the topic, continue?" Russell Simmons looked at Song Ya with a smile.
"Fxxk!"
Song Yaxin said how cheap I was and continued with you, stood up and glared at him and said, "Maybe you just made a lot of money by taking advantage of Polygram's dislike of me and Daniel, and also put my investment in a very embarrassing situation , but... so what? I can't even remember when I was in Def Jam and had a penny, and you managed to disgust me even more, Russell Simmons, and you, old man..."
He pointed at Quincy Jones, "Trust me, I'll beat you, beat you, all of you..."
He pointed to them one by one with cold eyes, "LL Cool J, you are no longer my friend."
"Sorry, I have been friends with Mr. Simmons for many years." LL Cool J shrugged.
"Don't look at me, I don't know anything, I will reconsider cooperation, sorry, I'm leaving first."
Puff Daddy gave positive feedback, "M-Fxxk, don't drag me all the way to play such childish things..." He opened the door cursingly, "Let's go!" He called the followers to leave.
"Okay, okay, calm down, Quincy, I have a problem with what you did today." Pierre Sutton said to Quincy Jones.
"Beat me? How? I'll wait no matter what you plan to do."
Quincy Jones got up triumphantly, and walked out with Russell Simmons and LL Cool J, "Haha, did you see that kid's expression just now? It's funny, right? I haven't been this happy for a long time..."
"APLUS, you..."
Pierre Sutton also stood up hesitantly, "I don't know about them..."
"Please leave my room first, I don't want to chat now." Song Ya turned impatiently and looked out the window, the fighting spirit that hadn't appeared in her eyes for a long time was rekindled.
