Chicago 1990

"Ms. Fleming, it's me, APLUS."

Everything was settled, Kunes pleaded guilty, Simon Schuster paid his wife and broke down, public opinion died down, and the friendship with Johnny Carson was restored.The old man is very shrewd, knowing that he is a kind and honest person who advocates win-win, and he is not harsh on gambling agreements. His autobiography will definitely make money, so the next step is the buyer's publishing house.

You don’t need to buy it right away. The old man slowly recalls the memoir and doesn’t know how long it will take. If you hire a trustworthy writer and look forward to staying with him in Banbury, you will talk about it when the manuscript is finished.Publishing houses are a distribution channel, which is very expensive to raise, and the situation of paper media is worse than that of a year, so buying early and losing early.

Radio stations, TV stations, record companies, film companies, websites, magazines, tabloids, unknowingly, the puzzle of A+ Media Group, which is small and well-equipped, is about to gather its teeth!

What is missing?Theater?Publisher?Song Ya hummed and called Shirley Fleming, editor-in-chief of American Music Magazine, "I heard that Litman is going bankrupt?"

It just so happened that there was something more coke. The paper media tycoon Henry Literman who sold his own American music magazine back then... Well, he was worth more than 100 million at the time. Now I don’t need to call him a tycoon. Not long ago, he was already The financial news reported that it was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Song Ya remembers that he has a publishing house, so if he is familiar with his business, he should ask for the price first. Hehe, now is different.

"What do you mean? Are you taunting me?" The old lady's sensitive high-class self-esteem broke out.

At the beginning, you were fooled by Litman, and almost didn't even have to do the editor-in-chief. Didn't it rely on me in the end?Humph!

"You are misunderstood, I just heard that he is selling his company to survive. He has a small publishing house, right?" Song Ya asked.

"Yes, the family business is called Litman Publishing."

Xuelin Fleming said: "That is his lifeblood and family totem. It will never be sold if it is not necessary. In order to bail out, he sold the soap opera Digest magazine to News Corporation the year before last, and recently sold high-fidelity magazines."

Look, a review and gossip magazine around soap operas, a magazine that introduces professional audio equipment and advertising and promotion, specializing in these niche paper media. With the rise of the Internet today, who does not go bankrupt?

"Do you want to buy a high-fidelity magazine?"

Shalyn Fleming asked: "Liitman put it in a package with his modern photography, stereo review, gun and hunting magazine shares, and the current asking price seems to be 100 million."

puff!Photography, stereo... still hunting?I want to sell it for 100 million!

"Forget it, I'm just asking. By the way, do you know a senior biographer in New York? I want the best and entrust him to write a memoir for Johnny Carson."

The old lady is the daughter of Bailey Fleming. After so many years of cooperation, her character and contacts are fine. "Of course I know! You wait for my news!"

Writing a memoir to Johnny Carson is a beautiful job with a chance to become famous at one stroke, and the old lady is very active in contacting friends.

Song Ya put down the microphone in a good mood, and then saw Linton and a group of men in suits rushing into the meeting room, and immediately went black.

"Mr. Alexander Song, this is the script confidentiality agreement signed between you and your wholly-owned A+ Film Studio and Hollywood Pictures. This is related evidence that A+ Film Studio leaked the original script content to the Los Angeles prosecutors. It is Hollywood Pictures that has the right to adapt the cat and mouse game, the right to adapt and the ownership of the script..."

The men in suits blankly took out a copy of the documents and spread them on the table.

"I am cooperating with the police investigation."

The trouble is resolved, and the cost of public relations in the crisis is best. Song Ya looked at Linton, "I eliminated a big scandal for Hollywood Pictures and even Disney!"

Linton raised his hand to surrender, indicating that he could not be the master.

"But according to the confidentiality agreement, the leak of the original script must be unanimously agreed by the partners, that is, A+ Film Studio and Hollywood Pictures. This is the specific provision at the time and has been marked." The man in the suit opened the contract and pointed to it. somewhere.

"Then let's start a lawsuit slowly." Song Ya showed a nonchalantly tired look.

"That's it...that's okay." The other party was not verbose, putting away the files and standing up collectively.

"Forget it……"

Yeremov hurriedly stopped, "Don't be the boss, they are Disney's legal department."

Song Ya pouted, not wanting to speak.

"Forget it, APLUS, in the courtroom, we both spent a lot of litigation fees and you still have to lose money in the end." Linton also persuaded.

"As a friend, you should have firmly supported me at that time." Song Ya blamed him, "I will do this all by myself. Isn't it good for you in the end?"

"It's boring to say this, you don't know my problem." Linton smiled bitterly, "and you are also guarding me? You didn't tell me at all!"

"I'm not guarding you, I just want to as soon as possible... Forget it, how much do I have to lose?"

As an executive of Disney, Linton is really inconvenient to pull sideways, after all, Johnny Carson and Kunes are also members of the screenwriter.Moreover, the situation seemed calm at the time, but the time window for resolving the peace between Kunes and Johnny Carson was only two days. Waiting for him to report layer by layer, if he is involved in the internal power struggle of Ovitz who wants to take advantage of the fire, it will be a yellow flower. The dishes are cold.

"Ten times of half a million, the contract terms are here, and I have made a mark." Disney's legal department pointed out.

"Then it's better to fight a lawsuit!" Song Ya was furious, "See you! I went to the studio!"

"Don't do this, don't do this..."

Hamlin quickly pushed the boss down and said to the other party: "We are willing to pay reasonable compensation. Today, everyone is negotiating for the specific amount, isn't it?"

Linton also began to whisper to the head of the Legal Department.

"Okay." The other party agreed.

In the end, Song Ya gritted his teeth, signed the pen nib below the 3.5 million number, and finally cut the paper because of too much force.

"It's a 30% discount, not bad." Hamlin said after Linton sent the people from the Legal Department out.

"Yes, it's pretty good."

"Yep."

Yeremov, Hayden and Sloan all nodded.

Song Ya closed his eyes and settled accounts, twelve million reserves, lost money, hired Cochran, and other costs such as donating campaign funds to Los Angeles District Attorney Gilgahiti, for such a crisis public relations that he completely took control of. Only seven million left.

Daniel was right when he said to himself that if he were replaced by white people, this so-called crisis would really be a small problem, but he would have to pay a price far higher than that of white people of the same level!

He can't wait for Karl to just get rid of Kunes!

Only Ms. Sloan understood herself, stretched her hand over and held her shoulder, "Don't worry about APLUS, it will get better and better in the future."

"I doubt it."

Song Ya didn't struggle anymore: "Forget it, just get it done. Hayden, help Amy find a new house in Beverly Hills. All you need to do is to budget within 7 million."
