Chicago 1990

Spain, Ibiza, listening to the Chillout music that originated here, Song Ya opened the curtains and looked at the party crowd by the hotel swimming pool, silent.

"Don't you just relax?"

Ms. Sloan came in and asked, "The atmosphere downstairs is great."

"No."

Song Ya turned her head and saw that she had changed into a tropical shirt, with a glass of cocktail in her hand. She must have just played at a party.So she joked with the bow tied around the hem of her shirt, "Such a slender and beautiful waistline... It shouldn't have been hidden in your professional suit before. It's a violent thing."

"I'm not young anymore, APLUS. The atmosphere here..."

Ms. Sloan was very useful, twisting her waist and taking a sip of wine comfortably, "It's the ultimate freedom and indulgence. Even me, it's hard to avoid being infected with emotion."

"Ha, since you are so interested, let's go to the celestial beach over there? Not far." Song Ya smiled.

"I don't care, let's go." Ms. Sloan put down her glass, not at all shocked.

"Forget it."

Song Ya had no choice but to persuade, "Just kidding."

"It turns out that the owners of this hotel are friends of David Geffen, George Michael, and the late Queen's lead singer Freddy. They were all there when it opened in 1984. I saw a group photo on the photo wall of the bar. "Sloan said.

"Although the carnival atmosphere here is invincible, it is also a high-risk area for HIV. There are many celebrities in the group photo you see in the bar, such as Freddie, who have successively passed away due to HIV and abuse of drugs in recent years. They are here. Dare to play and try anything."

Song Ya reminded her.

"Of course I know."

Ms. Sloan smiled and walked over and looked out the window side by side with him, "But it's a bit disappointing to say this now...Forget it, let's talk about business, William Morris just got Wesley Snipes, and Xue Linfen’s photographer ex-boyfriend."

"Well, Hayden called Wesley to ask me for credit after IRS contacted Wesley."

Song Ya nodded, "It's only solved some minor problems, but it's not bad, at least things are getting better."

"By the way, who do you think did the series of captures leaked by the Spanish media? Ovitz?"

Sloan asked, "Is he motivated? When it is rumored that Eisner will soon be kicked out of Disney with David Geffen, Philip Anschutz, and maybe you... At the same time, we will have a close meeting here and take the opportunity to the outside world. Show your strength."

"David Geffen also has it. Don't forget that the reporter who exposed his art collection just died in a car accident... He is also a little bit burnt."

It was supposed to be a very secret meeting, but a certain inner ghost made a lot of loopholes. Song Ya was a little angry but didn't want to waste brain cells guessing who was the culprit. "Actually, they can also suspect me. I have no motivation to do this, right Sloan."

"Ha, maybe this makes everyone have their own distress."

Sloan laughed and said, "How did you talk with Ovitz? Now that the media about your secret meeting with him has been exposed by the media, how do you plan to confess to the Disney Emperor?"

"Ovitz is no longer the agent who would stand on the table and dance to please customers. He can't put down his figure, although his words are still very confusing..."

Song Ya and Ovitz have talked a lot, and their external environment has deteriorated rapidly compared with the last time they met, and they have the foundation of being together.After all, there are only three possible next homes for A+ Records, Warner, Universal, and Disney, and Ovitz was the first to invite to Disney, to participate in the establishment of a record company that can rival the Big Six. The temptation to ambitious self After all, it is not small.

but……

Ovitz is unwilling to give his own ideas or help out without getting a clear guarantee. Song Ya knows that the former No. 1 brokerage company boss is the best potential helper to solve his current troubles, but if neither party sees a rabbit There is no way to talk about mutual trust if you spread an eagle.

"What about David Geffen?"

"David Geffen preferred the merger of A+ Records and DreamWorks Records.

Song Ya paused, "He offered a price of 60 million to get 50% of the A+ record on behalf of Universal. This is only a little better than Quincy Jones's condition to go to Warner. David Geffen will also be here. I got some personal benefits from the acquisition. Then I gave me a personal signature fee of about 30 million yuan."

"I can't accept the valuation of 120 or 150 million. I am a superstar who has two diamond albums. Fergie's two specials and two other dances show my life and cat and mouse game movie soundtracks. Platinum, Brenda first platinum sales, Jazzy and FoxBrown's first albums have stabilized above the platinum line according to current trends. If Al's first album is not counted, Common also has gold records and super good music reviews, all of which are in line with Sony ATV Music Rights Company shares half of the copyright."

"In addition, A+ Records also has the complete record copyright of Lao Qiao’s music, including a part of Little Lowry’s first album. If you change to a more established record company, the valuation can easily rise to 200 million, even if the record industry does not. Boom."

"A+ Records also has a whole floor containing three recording studios. Of course, I will strip it out at that time."

How can the record empire I built by myself be willing to hand over people easily? These are all Apocalypse plug-ins, my exclusive meal for the Apocalypse plug-ins!Not to mention the good songs of the apocalypse in the past few years, now A+ Records has the combination of Beyoncé, Jazzy, Fergie, and William Adams, which will obviously become popular in the future. It is not yet the harvest season. How much is sold in Song Ya’s heart. They are all low sales, because buyers cannot pay a premium for the'future'.

"Owned record companies, which only give distribution rights to large companies are many white singers, even superstars can't even think of APLUS."

Ms. Sloan persuaded, "The reason why this phenomenon appears to be more common in the rap circle, I think you know the truth better than me. In the eyes of early record industry executives, rap books are mosquitoes that can’t sell many records. The rappers who came from the bottom possessed street violence as a check and balance weapon. The executives didn’t bother to spend too much effort and didn’t want to take too much personal risk to suppress control. That’s why MC can achieve historic achievements due to various causes, but..."

He continued: "From him to you to death row records, rap music has gradually risen in the past few years. Even if you are not a pure Rapper, then 2PAC will always be? According to the trend after his death, his albums will definitely be sold before his death. The diamond line is over, and no executives will take hip-hop labels lightly. People with their own record companies, such as Sugnett, aren’t you the best vigilance in the current situation?"

"I know, I know, I just feel..."

Song Ya muttered to herself, "I can be the exception. I have done a lot for it. Those political and business relations..."

"You need the help of big companies, APLUS, if the public opinion storm continues like this, you are likely to pass away quickly like Paula Abdul. I asked Linda to do a questionnaire survey a few days ago. The result is that compared with the first half of the year, Your disgust in the hearts of the American public is rapidly rising."

Sloan persuaded: "From the attitude of Mr. Philip Anschutz, Anschutz can even accept that you have become unpopular in North Rice, just agreeing to our request to reduce the burden on next year's tour and reduce the number of North Rice shows. This ticket sale is finished. They can talk about it depending on the situation."

"I don't really care, I can retreat behind the scenes."

Song Ya really doesn't matter at this point. The record industry's task of making a pot of gold for the traversers has been perfectly achieved, and now it is not even the bulk of his own assets. "But I don't want to share half of the future with others."

"Half of the future?" Ms. Sloan couldn't understand the determination of the owner of the Apocalypse plug-in no matter how smart.

"literal meaning."

Song Ya waved his hand, didn't want to explain, and couldn't explain to others.

There was a knock on the door, "Mr. Les Garland," Old Mike said outside.

"Please come in! Hello, Les."

For the Paramount department that is currently suppressing his own, what the parent company Viacom boss Redstone most valued in his mind is his investment courage, artistic vision, media influence, and testimony of career takeoff: MTV.

What Paramount, Simon Schuster Press, and Blockbuster were all later leveraged buyouts by playing big capital, and industries such as cinema are his father’s legacy and brilliant transcripts. Only MTV channels have accompanied and supported them all the way. He has evolved from the second generation ancestor of the movie theater line to a media tycoon. There is no business under his banner that can compare. This is an open secret.

Moreover, it has not been a few years since large companies such as Paramount, Simon Schuster Press, and Blockbuster were acquired by Viacom Group. Even as the boss, he has insufficient control and is still integrating and balancing the major companies. When Shantou was playing Game of Thrones, only MTV was the only one who was really instructing and intervening personally. He may have seen more MTV executives, Les Garland, than Paramount President Shirley Lansing.

"How did the photos we met were exposed by the media!"

Unlike himself, or David Geffen and Ovitz, who have their own motives, being exposed by the media in Ibiza will only bring negative effects to senior workers like Les Galand. He is now more angry.

"It has nothing to do with me."

Believe it or not, Song Ya has to be clear anyway, and he did not do it by himself, so he is confident.

"Then let's hurry up and finish talking, I will fly back to the United States tomorrow."

Les Galand said.He has a good relationship with Mortula, but this meeting was made by William Morris who finally contacted Redstone. The boss personally ordered him to come.

"Les, it's still that matter, we want to make peace." Ms. Sloan lowered her posture for herself.

"I'm just a producer on the MTV station." Les Galand shied away.

"You played the black material prepared by Mottura to suppress APLUS in a funny show." Ms. Sloan reminded.

"The scene of the car accident at the concert? What is this? You are not a singer APLUS who relies solely on singing skills. You have even begun to develop into singing and dancing artists. This is not a big problem for you. You must have an entertaining spirit." De said.

"But at this point in time? You have become participants in the conspiracy." Sloan pressed.

Les Galander waved his hand impatiently, "I don't know, and don't want to hear any conspiracy theories. Many artists always feel that the anger is because the whole world is murdering themselves. In fact, it's just that the taste of the audience has changed."

"Don’t worry about this, Les. I respect Mr. Redstone. Well, maybe I’m not so active in participating in your MTV station activities, but I think I’ve done what I deserve to do over the years. I don’t know Pella Why does the Meng TV network discredit me with such high intensity as it is now? This is unreasonable, and it is not in line with Mr. Redstone’s interests, right? Viacom does not play in the recording industry, and I will not refuse to deal with Paramount in the future. Cooperate in Hollywood." Song Ya said.

"I don't know what you said."

Les Galand replied: "Well, since the big boss asked me to come, then I will be responsible for helping you to bring the words to you, that's all."

"Just let you come?" Sloan asked.

"Just let me come." Les Garland nodded.

"OK then……"

Song Ya and Sloan both looked at each other with disappointment, "Thanks for your hard work, please tell us Mr. Redstone..."
