Hollywood Hunter

Chapter 292 Greed is good!

Crist Davis, president of Alistar Records, did not believe that Daenerys Entertainment would make such an irrational decision to kill 800 enemies and lose one thousand. Hearing Nancy Brill’s in-person notice He was arguing with Nancy in consternation and anger, and remembered to contact Simon. He thought Nancy Brill was making his own claim.

The answer given by Simon can be imagined.

Clive Davis still does not believe that Daenerys Entertainment will suspend the sale of the original sound recording. The two sides have been deadlocked for a whole day, and the news is inevitably spread to the media.

As of September 17 last Sunday, it has been released in North America for 15 weeks and a half, with a total box office of 116.35 million US dollars. The box office of the film has also slipped into the 500,000 US dollar range in a week, and the next grade is imminent.However, when Daenerys Entertainment and Alistar Records broke out that the sale of the original soundtrack would be stopped due to a dispute over sharing, the film, which had begun to close in North America, once again attracted strong media and public attention.

Regardless of how Clive Davis reacted, the original soundtrack did stop shipping, and all related work in overseas regions such as Europe and Asia also stopped.

The severity of copyright protection in Western countries is well known.

The dispute between Daenerys Entertainment and Alistar Records was originally limited to unidentified. If Alistar Records insisted on selling the original sound record after filing a claim on the shared copyright of Daenerys Entertainment, this involved copyright infringement.

As long as the two parties reach an agreement, it is easy to resolve the split dispute. Even if it goes to court, Alistar Records cannot lose much.However, if copyright infringement is involved, a US$1 copyright lawsuit for a claim of US$100 is not excessive, and Daenerys Entertainment is enough to bring Alistar Records to bankruptcy.

On September 20, I saw that Daenerys had no intention of attitude, and really stopped all the business activities of the original sound record. Clive Davis finally woke up.

Daenerys Entertainment has many other income bases and lacks the input of the original soundtrack. The impact on this company is almost negligible.However, this record is the mainstay of Alistar Records' revenue. According to the original forecast, only this record will probably contribute to over 70% of Alistar Records' profits this year.

Obviously, this record is more important to that side, and it goes without saying.

Just after eight o'clock in the morning, Clive Davis, who had been suffering all night, arrived at the Alista Records headquarters in Oliver Avenue, Burbank, but the media reporter was squatting nearby before him.

Clive Davis had just parked his car in the public parking lot next to the company's headquarters. A group of reporters gathered around and pushed the door blankly to get out of the car. All kinds of interrogations suddenly sounded in his ear.

"Mr. Davis, will you reconcile with Daenerys?"

"Alista Records intends to sue Daenerys Entertainment?"

"Will Alistar's parent company Bertelsmann Music Group intervene in this matter?"

"Whitney is rumored to be preparing for her second film. Will this matter have a negative impact on her development in Hollywood?"

"..."

"..."

"Clive, have you caused such a big loss to the company, will you be fired?"

"..."

Clive Davis squeezed the crowd into the company office building without saying a word, and suddenly heard the problem ringing in his ear. This touched the problem that he was most worried about. He suddenly couldn't calm down and turned his head. Responding angrily: "I didn't cause any damage to the company. You should ask Simon Westero that the greedy bastard is the culprit."

The reporters heard the news and suddenly became more heated.

This irrational air battle is simply the material most liked by the media.

"Clive, do you mean, Simon Westero?

"Isn't it? Just because of some disputes, he forcibly stopped a good record that was enough to be recorded in the history of music,

"However, according to Daenerys Entertainment's announcement, the cause of this incident was that Alistar engulfed Daenerys Entertainment's score."

"Of course they would say this from their standpoint. If it weren't for Whitney's song, such a shit movie might not be able to receive it even at the 10 million box office. They had already made enough profits, but they were not satisfied yet. There is more to be squeezed from Alista, which in my opinion is simply insatiable."

"..."

"..."

After some venting, Clive Davis finally entered the office building of Alista Records.However, his comments about Simon Westero's "greediness" and "shit" quickly spread, and a similar topic soon appeared in a local TV station and a national news channel in Los Angeles, and triggered a discussion about A wider discussion of this incident.

As another party in this matter, or wishfully recognized as a party by the media and some people, Simon met Janet at Los Angeles International Airport at one o'clock in the afternoon, and then took a servant to board the one that was still rented. The incoming Boeing 767 flies directly to Milan, Italy.

In fact, Simon just decided that he did not intend to participate in the follow-up.

Clive Davis’s remarks spread, and Daenerys Entertainment also counterattacked the first time, accusing Alistar Records of being really greedy and engulfing Daenerys Entertainment on the original soundtrack. A quarter of what should be scored, which can’t even be called insatiable, is simply a crime.

In fact, the circle can probably understand why Daenerys Entertainment has reacted so violently to Alistar Records' engulfing and sharing, obviously killing the chicken and monkey.Therefore, although it is still very enjoyable to interact with Daenerys on the surface, privately it is inevitable to do some small actions that stir up the wind and rain, so that Daenerys cannot fully control public opinion.

In addition, fans of Whitney Houston also jumped out to join in the fun and gathered outside the Daenerys Entertainment headquarters in Santa Monica and Burbank, demanding that Daenerys Entertainment give up targeting their idols.

Clive Davis actually regretted it after saying that. However, since the situation can no longer be reversed, he can only continue to die, looking forward to Daenerys Entertainment being forced to do it under the pressure of public opinion and fans. Concession.

Daenerys Entertainment certainly can't give in.

In an interview, Nancy Brill strongly stated that unless Alista Records accepts the financial audit of Daenerys Entertainment, and pays all compensation due to Daenerys Entertainment and makes compensation, otherwise, the original soundtrack will always be Will no longer appear on the market.

Affected by Nancy's remarks, the price of a small number of original records still on the market rose.

As the parent company of Alista Records, the German Bertelsmann Music Group was originally fortunate that the original sound record was born, and it was fortunate that it had taken over the bankruptcy record company from RCA two years ago.Now, after seeing what happened, Clive Davis not only did not take measures to alleviate the situation, but also apparently dragged things to an unmanageable level, and soon decided to intervene.

A senior member of the Bertelsmann Music Group also flew from Germany to Los Angeles the day after Simon flew to Italy. The first thing he did when he arrived was to announce that Clive Davis will temporarily take vacation indefinitely while taking over Ali. The operation of Star Records started negotiations with Daenerys Entertainment.

Italy.

Simon's residence in Milan is located on the banks of the famous Lake Como in the north of the city. The two-acre mansion is built on a hillside overlooking Lake Como. It is surrounded by dense woods and needs to be crossed from the lakeside road at night. Only a one-kilometre long forest road can be reached, and the privacy is very strong.

Today is September 22.

Gucci's spring/summer 1990 show was scheduled on the morning of the 23rd. Simon and Janet arrived in Milan on the afternoon of the 21st local time. They just went to the city to watch the last rehearsal of the show and some activities of the opening ceremony of Milan Fashion Week Without attending, he returned to the beautiful mountain villa for a rest.

In a blink of an eye, I haven't seen it for more than a month. Compared to the entertainment of many strangers, the two are more willing to stay together and talk.

However, there are more than Simon and Janet in the villa. Of course, bodyguards and the like are not counted. In addition to the female assistant, Jennifer, Natasha Kinsky, who came to Milan to support the Gucci fashion show, also lived in.Because he was busy preparing for the big show, Sophia Fisci did not live here.

Milan is still in the Mediterranean climate region, but because of the inland bias, the weather here after autumn has been very cool, and the warm sunlight in the afternoon is suitable for sunbathing.

Janet lay on the sun lounger beside the swimming pool in the courtyard, covered the sun tightly and steadily, looking at some news from Los Angeles.

After a moment, the woman's eyes turned sideways and said to Simon: "They said you are a greedy guy?"

Simon is flipping through a local newspaper in Milan, and he is reciting the classic line in the passage: "Greedisgood, greeght, GREEDWORKS!"

"Hum."

Janet was dissatisfied with Simon's pendulum, and the little feet in thin socks leaned over and scratched on Simon's body, even the woman's feet were afraid of getting tanned.

Simon raised his leg and easily pressed Janet's foot underneath, saying, "Will you go to the city to play at night?"

Janet immediately got interested: "Just the two of us?"
