Chicago 1990

Senator Warren was really direct in private, and he didn't even pay much attention to political correctness. He just opened his mouth when he pointed to the African Americans and said the joke about growing cotton. Of course, Song Ya didn't want to express his dissatisfaction in a pretentious manner.

"Have you heard of the smile curve theory? One head and one tail have two high profits. The raw materials and technology patents at the source, the sales, brand value-added and services of the tail are all local, and other low-value-added assembly and processing are dirty and tiring. Just leave it to others and show it on the graph, which is a curve that looks a bit like a smile... Besides, even if you can keep those job opportunities in the United States, no one here wants to do it."

It is inconvenient to talk about what specific help is needed. Senator Warren shifted the topic to job opportunities, and Song Ya showed off a few words of theoretical knowledge very broadly.

"Did the old guys at the University of Chicago teach you?" the other party asked.

"Uh, I saw it at the airport bookstore..." Song Ya replied.

"Ha!" Warren smiled.

"The original text talked about the electronics industry, but there is nothing wrong with using it in the textile industry." Song Ya added.

"Do you really intend to make the brand the same as GAP?" Senator Warren shook his head: "I never heard of any celebrities doing this kind of business well."

"GAP lobbyists are not nearby, right?" Song Yazuo looked up and looked up.

This time I am amused by the two senators, Underwood and Sloan, "Most of my clothes are sold in outlets, Wal-Mart, Sears, Target and other stores. For the time being, I have not imitated GAP's massive self-employment. There are plans for stores." Song Ya said.

Warren and McKean looked at each other.

"APLUS." Underwood patted Song Ya on the shoulder, reminding him that it was time to leave, "Sorry, Mr. Senator, APLUS is here to visit the Capitol and cannot stay for too long."

"Bye, you're funny, perfect boy." Warren dealt with the steak in front of him again.

"Nice to meet you, Senator Warren, Senator McKean." I stood up and followed Underwood out of the restaurant, leaving no attention to Ms. Sloan who was staying in it. "Is there any hope?" He asked Underwood.

"Just try your best. Other big companies are also watching this. Don't rush to the conspicuous position." Underwood reminded, "Doug." He returned him to Doug's hands.

"Thank you very much, Congressman Underwood, thank you very much." After he solemnly thanked Underwood, he followed Doug back to the choir children, 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 a public relations fee, and Ogilvy will pay her lobbying company in the form of consulting fees. The rest has nothing to do with us."

I called Scout, then looked back at the towering Capitol, even if I had completed my mission, "Linda, how about the box office of my life?"

"Bei Mi was released for five weeks, with a box office of about $53 million. In the sixth week, there were less than 900 theaters. It has already turned to long-term screenings. The box office ranking is expected to drop to more than ten." Linda reported.

"not bad?"

"Very good, plus the global box office can easily reach 100 million." Linda smiled: "You got a good start in Hollywood, boss."

"Follow-up sheet."

Song Ya wants to take a closer look at the form. The long-term screening of the first stage of the world will last a full month, and the number of theaters will be reduced from more than 800 to 500 weekly, until their blockbuster space-time special police () starts painting. They will conduct another evaluation and decide whether to continue with the second round of long-term screening.

However, the cost of long-term screenings is very low, and the producers can't get much. It is only helpful to pile up beautiful total box office numbers. For myself, it is a problem of personal reputation.

"Shangge Yundun is the starring role of SPAT?"

When Song Ya saw the name on the form, he remembered that the Jedi Double Zun crew where the other party was located had sniped and returned to the Blue Coral Reef, and used the means of exposing Mira black material and his love affair, which indirectly caused the two to break up.

"Yes, how?" Linda didn't understand the past. "Shangge Yunton has developed well in the field of hardcore action movies. The ultimate target he took over last year was very well received. It was directed by Hong Kong director John Wu. of."

"Is it red?"

"Forget it, although the production cost of these types of action movies is generally not high, but it is particularly necessary for the tough guys to carry the box office alone. The time and space special police, like the disguised geeks, are all comics of dark horse comics, and the production cost is 2,700. Ten thousand," Linda replied.

Forget it, that matter may not be related to Shang Gyunton himself. Since it is still popular, then I can't step on it casually...

Song Ya threw off the thoughts in his head.

Next, there is a very important decision to make, whether to go to the VMA awards ceremony in early September.

This is different from 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 the world. He also asked Les Galand of MTV in front of him. Over time, this year... but there is nothing. I and Mariah Carey have no awards to receive. The VMA awards party still likes to make trouble...

"Fergie won the best rap MV nomination by LondonBridge, but it is unlikely to win." Linda said: "I heard that MJ and Lisa Presley will go. This is his first appearance from a criminal lawsuit. ."

"Then we won't go, Fergie can go alone."

I don't want to accept the award, but there are still cooperation projects with MTV. Now most movie soundtracks MV will be recorded by using the film's wonderful plot editing interspersed with the singer's picture, saving money and trouble, and can also borrow the pictures and popularity of the movie.

There is no official MV for this series of Apocalypse music. Song Ya simply packaged the music video to the production department of MTV, which is also considered to complete his commitment to Redstone. After all, the original soundtrack of Lightning Dance that helped MTV a lot back then It was played in his house in this way. Lei Shidong also said that I would give some resources if I shoot well in my life, but the old man doesn't seem to remember this.

Currently MTV is negotiating with Universal Pictures and Sony Columbia Records, both of which are large companies. Such cooperation has certain rules and should be negotiated soon.

"Then the day when you go to school is not far away."

The summer vacation is over, and the summer vacation is over. "You ran back to Chicago to go to school. Miss Kelly will definitely lose her temper. She will stop taking a school season? BeWhatYouWannaBe is still at the top of the B list, and we also need high-intensity announcements. Consolidate album buying."

Linda knew he didn't want to interrupt his studies again, so she cautiously advised.

"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. "How are my original soundtracks selling?"

"Very well... uh, uh..." Daniel on the other end of the phone seemed to be in a trance. "We need you to continue to announce the APLUS rhythm."

"What's wrong? Is something wrong?" Song Ya asked.

"There is a very unexpected situation..." Daniel said: "MJ seems to want to become the owner of Sony Music Rights..."

"What?"

Song Ya was even more surprised. "Getting in? Sony is willing to sell? That is the core asset of the record company."

"MJ proposed to merge his ATV music copyright library with Sony..." Daniel said.

This is the shocking news of the music market, "ATV owns the copyright of many Beatles songs, right?" Song Ya asked.

"Sony also has Elvis, Barbra Streisand, Kelly King, Michael Bolton and others..." Daniel said: "And you and Miss Kelly..."

"Ha! So if the merger is reached, won't I have to pay MJ to sing my own songs in the future?" Song Ya chuckles, "Same as Paul McCartney."

"Although it's a joke, it's not wrong to say that seriously..."

Daniel said: "MJ has just got rid of the case and is eager to show the power of the king of pop to the music market."

"This has nothing to do with you? Anyway, Sony Music Copyright is independent 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’ Song Copyright Management Committee has a great say in Sony’s music copyright library... So MJ’s joint venture with Elvis’s daughter made Sony very passive."

"Political marriage? So that's it!" Song Ya took a breath, "Lisa went to accompany the MJ in the lawsuit last year, right?"

"Yes, that woman may have come with a mission, the Elvis Copyright Management Committee behind her, and Scientology..."

"It's no wonder that Elizabeth Taylor said Lisa Presley had ulterior motives and took the initiative to come to the door when MJ was the most difficult and helpless. If it was 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’ copyright assets. The idea will only come from the committee behind her. This transaction is beneficial to them, because Elvis’ copyright committee is in Sony’s copyright library has a lot of voice and can profit from the transaction..." Daniel said.

Shopping malls are like battlefields. These people really do everything, even marriage can be used as a transaction.

Song Ya hung up the phone, and it was a pity that if he agreed to Elizabeth Taylor before, he might be able to influence MJ in this transaction and seek his own benefit...
