Chapter 836

"Did Daniel betray you too?" asked the old Mike who was driving.

"Why did you say 'also'? Mike." He put his chin on his face and smiled at Song Ya, who was in a daze outside the window.

"I'm old, but I'm not blind or deaf." Old Mike tugged at his earlobes.

"It's not enough to say betrayal. Business is business. It's just that I can't accept it for a while. I don't mean that I can't accept his choice based on reason and interests..."

Song Ya shook his head. Old Mike almost never asked about his career. It was rare that he was willing to talk. There were only two people in the car, so he simply said a little more, "But I really can't accept that he took his own small record company and A+ Record Come to tie, I have put a lot of effort into this record company, you know Mike, it has been five years since the small studio that I shared with Big A."

"Yeah, five years." Old Mike closed his mouth and continued to concentrate on driving.

"Maybe Daniel is right, I am really paranoid..."

Last week's movie box office list also came out. Due to the accelerated decline of 007 GoldenEye, Cat and Mouse Game won the runner-up list with 13 million box office, a slight increase from last week's 11 million. There is no doubt that Toy Story First.

This is related to the deal between Linton and Bowei Films. He asked the other party to postpone the opening of the comedy series New Father-in-Law 2, and the two sides exchanged theater resources. Then the next cat and mouse game must give up some resources in return for the Christmas file when the new father-in-law 2 is going to work hard.

The reason for this operation is that Linton is not very confident in the performance of the Christmas file of the game of cat and mouse. After all, it has been released for a month by then, and it is uncertain whether it can compete with the new strong movie. Taking advantage of the third week The proportion of the theater account sharing is not bad, let's get the ones in front of us first.

In this way, the total box office revenue of the cat and mouse game in three weeks has reached about 41.5 million. According to this trend, Beimi's box office alone can guarantee that the project will not lose money, and it is almost a foregone conclusion that the world's hundreds of millions will be reached.

Coupled with the previous collaborations with Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer Film Studio Red Tide and Dangerous Games, Linton has completely removed the hat of Hollywood Films for making one film and losing one film.

"As a film company that retains the heritage of the major Hollywood studios, in order to make the configuration of the Hollywood film industry healthier, Linton thinks that A+ Film Studios will be the same as Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer Film Studios, with them. Sign a long-term cooperation agreement, one or two per year."

After Yeremov called to announce the good news, he told about Linton's new idea, "I think it's an opportunity. The cooperation conditions Linton gave are basically the best in Hollywood.

It is difficult for us to get it from other film companies. I will sort out the terms and fax them over? "

"What do you think?" Song Ya asked back.

"You can sign, boss. While Linton is in a good mood, don't you still want to start filming and star in a football youth campus movie with Anschutz? In this way, we can at least have two long-term cooperation with powerful companies in the future. Linton and Katherine are the kind of people who can exert a lot of influence on Disney and Universal distribution companies. In addition, we still have a contract with Universal to produce the third part of my life. Come on, our allocation is also very healthy, and no one can hold A+ Films in a tight grip."

Yeremov said: "Linton also wants to join us to buy the film adaptation rights of Abagnell's new book 'The Art of Stealing' as a sequel to the game of cat and mouse. But the legendary liar is now a lion, He said that he has been contacted by many competitors, including a large number of studios and some top male movie stars, such as Tom Hanks."

"If your plan is achieved, we won't be able to touch the distribution field for at least a few years." Song Ya said: "My recent dilemma in the record industry is to put it bluntly because I don't have the ability to distribute, right?"

"Boss, distribution is a thankless job, as long as we don't get cheated by the distribution company."

Yeremov is not that ambitious, "You can take this as a long-term goal, for example, let's see if DreamWorks can become one of the new eight big Hollywood, if Paul Allen's money plus Spielberg, big If Wei Gefen and Katzenberg can't do something, then we have absolutely nothing to do."

Yes, step by step.

"Also, next year's Valentine's Day schedule for the sequel to Dance Out of My Life will also start. Ron Meyer, the new president of Universal Pictures, will personally ask about it, and theater resources should be guaranteed." Yeremov added.

"I remember that this movie has been closed for almost a year? Time flies so fast..." Song Ya sighed.

"Hurry up? The actor Ryan Gosling's agent is about to die." Yeremov said with a smile: "They haven't received any valuable jobs this year, so they expect to become famous in one fell swoop with this film."

"Where's the heroine?" Song Ya asked.

"The heroine Jennifer Love Hewitt will be the focus of the publicity. She got rid of the bad luck in the past few years by relying on the TV series "Family of Five". It's also important that she breaks into film, but I hear the girl is restless and just signed to Atlantic Records."

Yeremov said: "After all, she debuted on the same children's program as Fergie, and her music dream has not been extinguished. Her momentum this year reminds me of Mira before. She has attacked many habitats, and her momentum is still good. I don't know what will happen in the future. Will it also..."

"Mila..." Song Ya's thoughts had already flown into the sky.

After Schulhoff announced that he would no longer be at the helm of Sony North America due to physical reasons, Daniel Glass, president of Sony Columbia Records, also suddenly announced today that he would resign. His explanation was that he wanted to spend more time with his family and was fed up with big companies. After being tortured by cumbersome bureaucratic procedures, he will focus on managing his personal record company. He told reporters that he looks forward to a freer and more creative music production model...'

Perhaps because he was angry with his attitude when he left, Daniel officially announced his decision to leave the next day. The mainstream media were shocked by Sony's determination to make a big change this year, and they started heated discussions.

This year's Sony, Nobuyuki Idei, who was criticized by the book as "Akio Morita's sycophant", was promoted as the only CEO, and Schulhoff, who was ridiculed as an "unlicensed operator" by the US side, resigned. This spans consumer electronics and The future of the top multinational corporations in the entertainment industry became uncertain in an instant, and there was little discussion about Daniel himself. The American media rumored that after several years of testing, the book would finally send local executives to manage the Americans by air.

They never mentioned how senior managers in the United States poached the corners of their own companies over the years. This kind of double standards and arrogance are the specialty of the American media. Even if the business competition cannot be beaten, even the company is bought, and the managers of the country are so cheating. , but it is impossible to obey the management of the defeated subordinates. It’s okay for the head office to manage the president of the North Rice branch, but a large number of local middle-level managers in the United States don’t want their immediate boss to be a yellow-skinned book.

For example, during the announcement of the movie "Future Water World", which deceived countless people, Kevin Costner, the lead actor and director who was still complacent at the time, went to the book to attend the event. His private jet did not even have air traffic control permission Without an application, it is natural that the air traffic control department will refuse to enter the airspace.

So he simply ordered the private plane to forcibly land on the rice army base over there...

A movie star trespassing in the airspace of the world's second largest economy, such a rampant and nonsensical behavior, no matter the local rice army or the US side, think it's no big deal, it's good to talk about, that's all.

What's even more magical is that Benzi even endured touching his nose, and Kevin Scotner was not punished in any way.

"I don't care about Daniel, I decided to step up my efforts and fight the book to the end." Song Ya felt that the current public opinion atmosphere was available, and decisively called Gordon to issue new orders.
