King of Hollywood

“Thank you, Mr. Ryan, for your kind words, and thank you so much for taking the time to browse with me at work -:.” Penelope said to the middle-aged man around him as he walked.

“It's all right, Miss Penelope, it's Mr. Adrian's call, and it doesn't affect the job." Ryan, CEO of MCM Records? Ferguson smiled a little and then accidentally glanced at her high ting xiong section. []

Beneath Penelope's silk coat is a low xiong thin shoulder dress, which squeezes deep ditches into the full twin peaks that no nv loses, so long as it's a man, it's inevitable to peek. But Ferguson quickly narrowed his eyes and continued with a serious tour of the company with Penelope. The nv in front of him was his boss's nv, although he had a lovely xing sensation.

“Maybe you want to go to the studio and see that we have one of the best recording devices in the United States.” Ryan said so.

“Right now?” Penelope's a little surprised, "isn't Ed supposed to be there right now? ”

“No, not today. No songs have been recorded recently.” Ryan shook his hand with a smile, but that moment of frown and depression fell into Penelope's eyes, in fact not even a small sneak peek at her xiong section.

Penelope ended the tour after walking around the studio and picking out a couple of good Spanish songs to record in person.

“I have to say, thank you very much, Ryan, you're a very careful man.” She praised each other like this.

“Thank you, I work very carefully, not outside of work, and lose a lot every time I go to Las Vegas.” Ryan sighed. The depressed god sè flashed again.

He looked at the time and said with an apology wěn: "Sorry, Penelope, I'm going to the office - the other bookmates are watching:. I have a meeting to attend later. ”

“It doesn't matter. I'm going back to the lounge myself, and Ed's probably almost done with it.” Penelope was kind enough to say.

Back in the lounge, Adrian hasn't come yet, and Spanish nv Lang picked up a magazine and looked. Just her face though toward the open magazine. But my eyes are moving from time to time, I don't know what I'm thinking. Finally, she stood up, several of them walked up to the water dispenser and poured a glass of water into her breath. Then she took a long exit, closed her eyes and frowned with anxiety.

At this point, the mén mouth rumbled. Adrian's voice rang: "Sorry, Pepe, I was a little late. ”

“It doesn't matter.” Penelope turned around and the abnormal god sè that was still on his face vanished instantly, only in peace there was no different kind of melancholy and xing feeling, the acting was really quite good.

“It's just for a little while,” she said with a smile, "Mr. Ryan took me around for a walk. Browsed most of the place and recorded several songs, unfortunately. I'm not singing well at all. ”

“Ryan is really good, and he can go on a guided tour when he retires," Adrian said with a tone, "Come on, we're done here, let's go out on the street and have dinner. ”

It's not a big deal on the record company side. Eville's training is as good as ever, and she's as comfortable with all kinds of guitars as she can remember. It's not that Adrian hasn't advised her to practice some other instruments, and she has practiced some, but she's still not as good as the guitar.

“This is the best instrument! This will be my lifelong instrument!” Ivier ended up waving the guitar, "he called it. She's got a lot of support because she's got some big, manly xings on her side of the record company.

Adrian had to shrug her shoulders, so she prepared two songs for her, and it's not time to publish one first, of course, and tell her -:.

As for the organisation of the company, it was in order, and when he announced the acquisition of global music, Ferguson, Norton, etc. started to do things in this area, and he didn't come over to ask. It's mainly about Britney and Christina, and the comparison between them has almost been made public, both within the company and in public.

The most typical example is Britney, who had just been signed by Pepsi at the beginning of the year for a record $8 million in endorsement fees, and Christina agreed to Coca-Cola's invitation, although the endorsement fees were less than Britney's, as you can see. Besides, they usually say three or two words in front of the media, making entertainment journalists pick up a lot of cheap, so much so that when interviewing one, they have to ask the other.

Also, Britney and Christina didn't deal with each other much as long ago as MMC. From training to publishing records, there was a lot of competition. Now that they're famous, they don't want to find a way to suppress each other's export? At the end of the day, unlike "once", both of them are now in the same record company, and no matter how ironic they are, even expressing their grievances in front of journalists remains on the line "We are competing for good xing”.

Of course, it was all Adrian's fault, and Britney and Christina's relationship was planned by him, and it was basically his fault that they both managed to keep their mouths shut, so it was only in front of him that they both stopped. However, once he and the three of them are alone, the two girls will compete harder in some ways.

“Ed, why don't we go to the club together, there's a new one in Sillim, it's a nice neighborhood, and nobody knows us.” As Christina spoke, she knelt on the couch and held Adrian's arm.

“Lord... Ed, why don't we go to the movies, and I think... I want to see the" Beautiful Legend of Sicily "you directed, and the movie critics say it's good.” Britney spanned his big tui, and the whole person almost pounded on him, but she was a little stubborn, she was completely used to the name "master," but she couldn't use it in other people's situations, so it was inevitable that she would be a little fluent to speak.

As they spoke, Jiāo changed his eyes from time to time and spurted non-existent currents in the air. However, Britney always has a subconscious flow of lu out of a high-profile posture. After all, she's the only one who calls Adrian "master." Christina also hated her most, but didn't know how to compare her, so she had to go further to please Adrian.

Adrian is basically impartial towards them. Of course, it's never easy to make a statement. It's only a matter of pleasure to watch them compete for fear. As for reassurance, just say it in the si.

If there's any regrets, it's Britney's $8 million Pepsi endorsement fee. Because of his intervention, 18 million sales of the first album plus 22 million sales of the second album cost Pepsi an extra million in endorsement fees - Adrian remembers very clearly because that number exceeded the cost of MJ's endorsement of Pepsi.

But if Pepsi is invited for another year, it will cost them 10 million, and Adrian has a big plan this year for Britney as a reward for her little pet. So it's a shame.

Besides that, there's a little unexpected gain, Jessica? Simpson “bumped into" Adrian and showed him his best.

“It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Mr. Adrian.” After “recognizing” Adrian, she said with great enthusiasm.

Jessica? Simpson released her first album at the end of the year, though not as red as Britney and Christina. So far, global sales have surpassed two hundred gold, which is also a great achievement for an nv singer. Naturally, Simpson had to want to take another step. Naturally, Adrian became her target.

Even though Britney and Christina competed very hard, they would still be a certain distance from Adriatic Security in front of many people, and their specific relationship with him was only clear to a few senior officials. But because of Adriana's loud name, a lot of people speculate, and Britney and Christina can't ignore him as much as the passers-by can, there is always a proper intimacy, so a little snooping can be concluded with a little analysis.

Even if you can't say it. There is no shortage of si downstream in the company, not to mention Adrian chā hands on some of the most popular songs of the two Red Idol nv singers, it's not surprising that Simpson wants to get his recognition - other bookmates are watching:.

If Penelope hadn't waited for herself, Adrian would have chatted with her for tens of minutes to cheer her up and take her out for dinner. Britney and Christina don't care, they only look at each other right now. But I can only say a few words now. It doesn't matter, Adrian gave a hint in the language, let Simpson think for herself, and as long as she's still here, she'll open her tui for him.

Adrian quickly returned to Kansas to continue filming Bones in the Winter, and Natalie was in a slight ups and downs, but did not overwhelm the shooting, and things were still going well. Then, before the 72nd Oscar Awards ceremony, he got a terrible message from Claude.

“Sony Records openly offers to buy from MCM Records?” Upon receiving the information, Adrian hurried back from Kansas and came to Claude's office to reconfirm his query.

“Yes, their goal is our record company, very sè strategy, isn't it?” Claude wasn't panicking, but his eyebrows were inevitably wrinkled, "he stopped us from buying, then held up our liquidity by raising the share price, and by hiding behind Disney and Warner, he snuck up the shares of MCM Records, waiting for the right opportunity to make another counter-attack, took down the record company and took out the copyright of the record, and there was more than they wanted. ”

“The Sony Group acquiesced in their actions, but only acquiesced, so my attempts in Japan were unsuccessful, but Sony America and the Sony Film Industry supported it, otherwise they would not have been able to say Disney, Warner and the News Group.” Adrian thinks of something else.

“News groups don't have to worry, they're mostly just flag shouting viewers to see if there's a chance, unfortunately Warner is being dragged online by the United States, and if it's them that make the offer to acquire, not Disney, we may need more jing to deal with them and ignore this side further.” Claude shrugged, "but Vicom didn't know what Thunderstone was up to, and they were bystanders until now. ”

“We'll find out soon enough. They could have watched before, but now that this is happening, they have to make a statement, and I still think Thunderstone will make the right choice--:.” Adrian shook his head.

“But first we have to show enough strength.” Claude, open your hands. “The only good news now is that they underestimated the funds in our hands and were right to conceal the benefits of the breakdown of the IT bubble. And what would Disney and Warner do if they knew Sony was a stepping stone? ”

“Someone on the board of record companies has been moved or Sony won't have control.” Adrian thought and said. “Who would it be? ”

“It takes time, we don't have much time,” Claude looks at him, "and don't you think it's a little weird, Ed? Their actions are a little too strong for xing, sometimes as if they already know what we're going to do. ”

“Are you sure?” Adrian couldn't help but pick his eyebrows. He knew what Claude was talking about.

“Not too serious. But it must not be underestimated, and I have been asked to conduct an internal investigation.” Claude made a gesture, "there was this guy, but he couldn't touch anything too high, so he didn't move for now. ”

“Someone else? And there's more than one...” Adrianmo's got his chin, “which can be a bit of a hassle, what if you can't find it in the short term? ”

“The safest option is to increase the funds invested. That is the key to determining the success of a takeover case, but then our next strategy will have to be adjusted unless you are willing to finance more.” Claude analyzed and said. “I can get 0.5% more. ”

“2%, no more unless two more years later.” Adrian shook his head, "let's do this for now, and it's urgent to talk to the directors of MCM Records. ”

Unexpectedly, the directors of MCM Records unanimously expressed their support for AC Media, Art Director Eric? Norton even called Adrian the first time after Sony offered him a takeover. That's not a good thing, as things stand now, someone has to be pulled together, otherwise Sony's takeover is just an investment, if not everyone is pulled together - other bookmates are watching:. Then they're smart enough to hide themselves from the directors. It's not easy to find out in a short time.

It is reassuring to note that Britney and Christina, as the two red super idol teenage nv singers at the record company, have unreserved choice support, indicating that Adrian taught them well.

“Who do you think it will be, Charlie?” Sitting in a high-back chair, Adrian stared out the window with his tuijiāo fork on his desk, so he told his nv secretary that he had nothing to hide.

“Should you go to Martin? Modimer asked for help, not me.” Charlize shrugged his shoulders, placing the documents in order before him.

“Jiāo's been checking on Martin, but it'll take at least two or three weeks, Sony Records.

i was so tight, we didn't have much time, "Derian stood up, hugged her waist from behind, took a deep breath on her back neck," and your smart, meticulous and discreet, Charlie, might see something I or Claude ignored. ”

“You really want to know what I think?” Charlize stopped what was in his hand and slapped him out of the hand he grabbed on his soft, watching him ask.

“Absolutely." Adrian also raised the hand below her on the curtain to show her attitude.

“Just give me a minute.” Charlize left this sentence and walked out and came in with an extra document.

“Is this it?” Adrian picked up and looked at her with some surprise.

“You've been scheduled for a month and a half.” Charlize said so.

Adrian frowned slightly and continued to look down. This huā took him more than ten minutes, then closed his eyes and thought again for a moment before reopening his mouth: “No wonder I felt strange, it was suspicious, but... well, to be sure it was simple. ”

Sony's high-profile announcement of the acquisition of MCM records, especially when AC Media was acquiring global music, prompted a lot of outcry in the industry and attracted a lot of eye--: The glasses drop dramatically, in this contest, Sony Records is tight.

i did not give the AC media a chance at all, while the AC media kept falling back and grasping the global music, the appearance of going back and forth.

“I'm very sincere and very confident. I don't think that's a bad thing, do I?” In the second negotiation, Thomas, CEO of Sony Records? Motora said with some pride to Adrian and Claude.

Joseph from MCM Records COO? Wardell sat next to him, apparently selling his shares to one of Sony's directors, and believed Motora might have given him a number of benefits.

“Don't worry, Mr. Motora, until the last minute, no one knows who the winner is.” After fruitless negotiations, Adrian said so to Motora as he left.

“Sure, but I'm sure it'll be me.” Motora replied.

“Not only Joseph, but others as well, Joseph's shares are not enough to give Sony an absolute advantage.” In the RV back home, Claude said so to Adrian.

“Motora's assistant, the Japanese, Sam? Tanaka, has he looked to our left twice in the whole process, maybe in there?” Adrian recalled.

Neither of them expressed anything about Wardell's betrayal. It was too normal for someone like him to turn the price upside down.

“Ivan? Molina, Ryan? Ferguson, Eric? Norton… at least one person is believable.” Claude suddenly said so.

“Yes,” Adrian nodded and laughed, "and now that you're sure, let's...”
