Chicago 1990

‘The House of Representatives has just passed a resolution of 248 to 187 to initiate the impeachment proceedings against the incumbent leader. Thirty Donkey Party members voted in favor. The next round of formal impeachment voting will be held after the midterm elections. By then, the House of Representatives will vote on the four counts of perjury in the testimony of the Grand Commander in the Congressional Grand Jury, perjury in the Paula Jones case, obstruction of justice and abuse of power...’

On October 8th, at Universal Studios in Los Angeles, young Bronfman’s office was full of senior managers, all staring at the TV screen with him intently.

"Ah……"

Little Bronfman sneered with his nostrils, "Close it."

"It looks like it will be noisy for a long time."

Ron Meyer, president of Universal Pictures, turned off the TV, and everyone in the room focused on the documents on the desk.

Little Bronfman had no intention of signing for the time being. After turning a few glances, he complained to Doug Morris; "What's the matter with Eisner? We had a good conversation face to face that day, and now we regret it again..."

Doug Morris smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed.

"Can't you fight again?" Little Bronfman looked at Barry Diller again.

"For what?" Barry Diller asked rhetorically.

"Let Disney reconsider its decision to accept A+ Records."

Little Bronfman said: "You go to talk to Eisner again, that day, I have already told him about the interests of Chen Chen. APLUS is a very restless time bomb, scum, taking in such a star who betrayed the entertainment industry. Disney’s reputation is not good, and the current record industry environment is not good. Disney should not shift its strategic goals anymore and join the five major competition with us Barabara... If he weren’t for Eisner, I wouldn’t bother to speak so formally. These words."

What do you mean? Want me to take an A+ record and smash it? Barry Diller felt a little irritable, and he didn't bother to coax anymore, "Have you ever thought that maybe you shouldn't talk to him about this in the first place?"

The attitude of the ‘mentor’ is not quite right today, the little Bronfman blinked a few times, and temporarily forgot to talk back.

"You are the president of Universal Music Group. You should help Edgar Jr. to avoid some imprudent meetings..."

Barry Diller reprimanded Doug Morris. He understood that there was his conspiracy. He did not encourage him. The rich three generations had just returned to China and would not remember that they hurried to see Eisner, and after seeing Eisner’s A+ record, he still If he is able to make a move, he will not be able to do anything in the future, because the obligation of early warning has been fulfilled, and the negotiation is also done by the boss himself...

But I was embarrassed, because Eisner didn’t know for what purpose, to let out Disney’s plan to take over the A+ record. Now the rich three generations want to force themselves to choose a buyer, that is, put pressure on the back of the pot. Rejected Disney and reselled A+ records to another so-called buyer: John Malone.

"I know what I'm doing! OK?"

The little Bronfman was really upset, and rebelliously took over for Doug Morris to retort: ​​"It's you, Barry, you should have included Disney in the banned alliance a long time ago, otherwise I won't need me to rush and reconcile as soon as I return Grid went to see Eisner to talk about it. Oh, yes, maybe you did it on purpose? Or did your friend John Malone have no plans to take over?"

"When he saw Disney end, he has cancelled the original plan, so..."

Barry Diller is prevarication, can't continue to bite the bullet and maintain a lie, a business of hundreds of millions.

"Look, you should have expected this earlier, Barry." Little Bronfman said.

"I'm not familiar with the recording industry."

"I deliberately left Doug in Los Angeles so that you can communicate with him about something. He also reminded you of the reminder early, right?" Little Bronfman now trusts Doug Morris more. .

Insert a sentence, the book-chasing app I am using recently, [app] cache reading, offline reading!

Barry Diller took another look at Doug Morris and felt that he was planted this time. Now he also knows what the rift with the rich three generations is, "I'm very busy... Forget it, since John Malone won't be out, I will be the middleman. It doesn’t make sense. I’m not trying to make a little money... You can let Doug negotiate directly with Disney. I don’t care about it."

The relationship should continue to be maintained, and the coaxing should continue to be coaxed, and at the same time, Universal has to get the cash smoothly and make a profit for itself... Since the pot can't be buckled by others, then you have to break your wrist as a strong man and accept it!

Otherwise, APLUS will really flourish in Disney in the future... Then the money he earned in this business will become a thorn between the two. You can't lose big because of small things, but the mood is still bad, and he impatiently Slam the door out.

Senior executives such as Ron Meyer and Doug Morris were silent, watching the boss’s obedience to the "mentor" leave, and Doug Morris was secretive in his heart, low-key hiding his merit and fame.

"So... can't we sell it?"

Only the president of Seagram Wines was afraid that the cash inflow of more than 200 million yuan would become a bad business. He was not interested in the box office potential and the new professional potential. He stared at the documents on the table and asked.

"It's not your authority, just say a few words."

Little Bronfman casually slapped the family veteran and tapped his fingers on the table.

Ron Meyer, president of Universal Pictures, believes that APLUS, the star caught in the White House scandal, is a negative injury to the sequel of the Blade Warrior series. Hollywood has the responsibility to prevent movies starring these people from appearing on the big screen and in front of a wide audience... ...'

‘Universal Pictures and Geffen Pictures have reached an agreement on the distribution rights transfer of the Blade Warrior series and the Dance My Life series, in order to obtain 54 million in cash and millions of long-term income. ’

'Universal Music Group's Geffen Records and Disney's Hollywood Records and Metropolis Records have reached a blockbuster deal, transferring 50% of A+ Records' shares and a small number of singles' copyright and track management rights for $100 million. . ’

‘Geffen Records shareholder David Geffen told reporters that APLUS has refunded the signing money in full, and he wishes the other party a smooth career in the next distribution company. ’

'Doug Morris, President of Universal Music, clarified the rumors that Seagram Universal Group urgently needs cash turnover. He said that there are three main reasons for selling A+ Records: he has doubts about APLUS's public image, professional attitude and creative enthusiasm, so it should be sold separately. The subordinate label is one of the actions taken in advance to respond to the doubts about the monopoly of relevant regulatory agencies. The last point is that this business is very cost-effective. ’

"Cheers!"

The rich three generations of ink still signed in the end. In mid-October, Song Ya finished his last concert in Moscow in Eastern Europe and rushed to Los Angeles on a long journey. He was very excited, and M-FXXK came out again!

Sony Columbia, Universal, and Disney are already the third. The three surnames...Bah, bah!

If you count Lao Qiao Records and SBK who have worked before but haven't officially signed the singer contract...five surname.

He not only lost revenue in the Blade Warrior movie project, but also lost the singer share of the new record contract. He also helped David Geffen pay 10%, or 5.4 million, for the redemption fee, and refunded 50 million. And Disney jointly redeemed the copyright of singles such as Cup of Life.

The copyright of albums released by other singers such as Mila and Fergie during that period remained in Universal Music forever.

Fergie must have another signing fee...

Regardless, he came back low-key to be refreshed first, "Thank you Mr. Eisner." He enthusiastically wrapped Eisner's hand with his palms, thanked him sincerely, choked and pushed the opponent's hand up forcefully. Grim, touched his low forehead, "From now on, I will sell it all to you. If you have anything to do, please order it!"

He swore and humbly thanked him.

"Happy cooperation." Eisner smiled like an emperor, and did not talk about any specific issues on the day of signing the contract. He raised his glass to signal to everyone present, "Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

"Welcome to APLUS!"

"welcome!"

"There are a lot of people you are familiar with here~www.ltnovel.com~ Let's talk more, I won't come to the signing ceremony." Eisner has a bad heart, and usually doesn't spend too long in this kind of celebration.

"Familiar..." Song Ya looked at the others, Oprah...Forget it.

Linton.

"Thank you very much this time, Linton." He came down and hugged him warmly.

"Uh, uh, it's okay." Linton felt uncomfortable when he was hugged by the bear, and quickly pushed him away. "By the way, there is a pre-condition in this contract. It must also be cleared, otherwise it will face high fines."

"Mr. Eisner insisted on adding it." He whispered.

"Oh?"

Song Ya was completely unprepared, and looked at each other in surprise with Ms. Sloan next to him, frowning, "Hehe, it's really wide-ranging. You are not allowed to buy stocks?"
