Chapter 782 ?
The worst thing now is that she and I are both busy. The first single DeadAndGone was released early on the 21st. The promotion period is long, so things don’t pile up together, but I still have to go to school and prepare for the concert at the end of the year.
Her Daydream was only launched in December, and her first single Fantasy has just been released. The release cycle has been compressed to a very short time, and the pressure to hit the charts is very high. She also has to start preparing for a large-scale global tour concert throughout the year next year.
As a result, the two of them didn't have much time to meet each other, and she was still angry because she struck up a conversation with Mira, she didn't answer the phone, or she answered it just to talk about some serious business, ignoring all the sweet words and gags.
"Are you still angry? Mimi, I've said so many times I'm sorry."
After being honest for a week, the phone call had already been hung up.
"What about this weekend? Still going to New York?" Linda asked.
"Forget it, she said she was going to go to other places to run publicity." Song Ya sighed, "I feel that this time it will be difficult for Linda."
"If you just say a few words to Mira, she will calm down, but you really need to restrain yourself recently." Linda gave a rare warning of a suggestive nature.
"I know, I know." Song Ya blushed.
"There's a lot of good news this week... Yeremov and Dilai will come over later, maybe Alicia will come too." Linda continued to report on her work.
"This week, the various interest alliances in the United States and the DVD camp and the SD camp have negotiated the results. The DVD camp won without accident, but the SD camp took a lot of advantages in terms of various technical standards. Lee. Sony and Philips are extremely dissatisfied..."
The first good news came from DTS, which belongs to the SD camp, and its listing was postponed. DTS, which was already on the verge of bankruptcy, suddenly got great good news. The DVD camp did win, but the SD camp did not lose at all. Stereo format is smoothly compatible with the new DVD standard. In this way, most of the market doubts are gone, and the listing plan can be restarted.
"Well, institutional investors will definitely grasp the actual situation, but ordinary investors can hardly distinguish the details of the standard. They only know that the DVD camp has won, and DTS belongs to the SD camp. In their eyes, DTS stock is Rubbish."
De Lay frowned and said at the impromptu meeting: "Goldman Sachs estimates that after listing on NASDAQ, the total market value of DTS will not exceed 300 million, so our diluted 3.2% of the shares will be less than 10 million. knife."
The shares of DTS are in the hands of his A+ Audio, the price is too far from his expectations, "The new listing time of Goldman Sachs plan is in early December, so we still have more than two months, you have to use APLUS His own influence helps DTS to publicize to ordinary shareholders, just like Netscape’s listing, Mr. Spielberg will personally participate in the road show to help.”
"Don't be depressed De Lai, think about it, we thought DTS would go bankrupt before? Wouldn't it be fine to just pretend that the ten million was picked up on the side of the road?" Song Ya comforted him with a smile, but since there is only such a little money, she can It won’t be as diligent and hardworking as Netscape’s time, and Netscape’s stock price went to a hundred dollars, “I will try my best to help, but you know, Spielberg has more shares in DTS than me , he should have contributed more.”
"He cherishes feathers more. After all, when Universal Pictures accepted the DTS format for Jurassic Park, he and Simberg had a private deal." DeLay shook his head with a wry smile.
"The 0.2% of your 3.2% shares are B shares with high voting rights. When DTS goes public, you can get 5% of the voting rights of a Nasdaq-listed company and a director."
Alicia, who was sitting far away, reminded her to ask for credit for herself. This condition was something she managed to get at the beginning, "You don't have such a status as APLUS in Netscape."
"I know, it's all thanks to Alicia." Song Ya blinked at her with a smile.
In short, this is the case. By December, DTS will become one of the small companies that are not eye-catching on Nasdaq. If there is another major benefit, it will only depend on the founder and CEO Terry Beard. Can't play new tricks.
There is also good news from Yeremov and Hollywood that Marvel has agreed to cooperate.
"Fifteen years of ownership of Blade Warrior and related characters, 100 million investment, three movies, and a symbolic knife for the transfer fee. They participate in the distribution of accounts, and the peripherals must also cooperate with us to launch. We and Catherine's KM Films will each contribute half The production fee, the trilogy will be handed over to Universal Distribution, this is the details of the contract."
Yeremov cheerfully pushed a stack of documents over, "Goodman and Hamlin Law Firm have already reviewed it."
Now Goodman and Hamlin are in charge of their own A+ assets and copyright company, American Music Magazine, Louise reports, A+ records, wine industry, pedals, clothing and other companies' legal affairs, hanging in their law firm Jimmy below is in charge of A+ venture capital, and A+ venture capital has his own major holdings in Netscape, Wanyan, Palm, and 3DFX.
Alicia's Flock and Argus law firm is responsible for the inner city broadcasting company, A+CN and A+ Audio, DTS's equity is under the management of A+ Audio, and the other is the synthetic sound copyright library and the American music website.
A+ Assets and Copyright Company manages the records produced by A+ Records, including all the music copyrights of its own songs, as well as its own real estate, stocks and other large assets, and is also responsible for donating to the charitable organization under the name of Aunt Susie, where is my love charity organization Most of the donations to politicians also go from these two organizations.
A+ Audio and A+ Pedal also own several lands in Sunnyvale, Silicon Valley, and A+ Audio has a much larger area in its hands.
"Um."
Song Ya carefully flipped through the documents and knew why the smirk on Yeremov's face came from. According to this contract, if he and Catherine are willing, they can make it so that Marvel can't split a penny I realized that the initiative is completely on my side, and I will see how much the box office of the first part of Blade Runner is, and whether the profit is worth falling out with Marvel.
Marvel has its own film company. Although it is not completely Hollywood, it does not feel indifferent to the pits buried in this contract. It seems that it is really desperate, otherwise there is no other reason why they are willing to bow their heads and sign this kind of contract. .
"It's a good job. Since the contract stipulates that the first film will be released before the end of 1996, the work of finding a director, script, and casting must start as soon as possible." Song Ya praised.
"Don't worry, boss."
Yeremov took the opportunity to flatter him, "The success of Netscape and Dow has greatly helped your reputation in the world, and you have danced out my life project. I have felt this more and more recently. Now there are some good opportunities. It didn't need us to chase it hard, it ran over with its own legs."
"Hahaha." Everyone at the meeting laughed.
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing, is it okay to talk to APLUS in private?" Alicia asked after the meeting.
"Can."
At the same time in Los Angeles, Charlize Theron was lying in the room with her fat assistant watching TV, "Don't put on a bad face all day long, you're going to New York to shoot Spike Lee's movie soon, maybe you can be in You won the Best Supporting Actress at the European Film Awards, I have read the script, you have a lot of lines, and you must have a lot of screen time."
The fat assistant stuffed potato chips into his mouth and said, "Study the script more, don't mess it up, this is a good opportunity."
"Um."
She lazily agreed, her mind was filled with the absurd scenes of that night with APLUS, Fergie, Alan Pompeo, and Amy Acker...
She knew what she was angry with. Over the years, she had resisted, accepted, and fell in love with APLUS. One day I gave myself cars, necklaces and other small things worth two to three hundred thousand dollars.
This disappointed and saddened her.
At this time the phone rang, "Charles!" His main agent was very excited, "There is another good news, the unstoppable Miracle crew sent me an audition invitation, the second female! There are a lot of roles, they named I want you to participate! Haha, call girl No. 6, an unstoppable miracle, plus the rumored Blade Runner project that Yeremov is about to finalize... 1996! Charis in 1996, it's you, No, it will definitely be our take-off year!"
"The Unstoppable Miracle? What movie? Is it related to A+ Films?"
Charis was also very happy when she was told, but after thinking about it, APLUS was completely manipulating herself by doing this, but she couldn't resist at all, there was no way, she wanted to be popular, it seems that kind of multiplayer game...
"It's okay! Haven't you heard of it? It's the directorial debut of the superstar Tom Hanks, and it's spread all over Hollywood. He wants to play it, but he can direct it!" The agent replied: "This movie is very important to him, very important. Important! Haha, lucky girl, if you have time and chance, you will come here quietly with long legs."
"oh?"
Charis sat up all of a sudden, "He asked me to audition by name?"
"Uh, I don't know if he appointed it himself, but the casting director seems to like you."
"You asked for my new MV clip from APLUS to show us?" Charis asked.
"No, A+ Records didn't give me that kind of thing, the music video you participated in was kept strictly confidential until it was released, I just submitted a copy of your regular resume, oh yes, there is a self-introduction video of the music video you auditioned back then. "
"that's it?"
"that's it."
"Is Mr. Yeremov helping behind the scenes?"
"No, how could it be? This is a major turning point in Tom Hanks' career path. It is impossible for him to accept the request. He must find the most suitable actor! You have a great chance, you are so beautiful, and the second female role is just like that. The one planned by Monroe must be very suitable for you, absolutely!"
The agent yelled excitedly, "Get ready, the crew has arranged for you to start from the second round, and I'll send you the audition materials right away, right now, I'm going out, I'll be there soon!"
"So, if I persist, I don't need to..." Charis held the receiver, feeling a little dazed for a while.
