Chapter 1252? Redemption
‘The House of Representatives has just passed a resolution with 248 to 187 votes to start the impeachment process against the current President. Thirty members of the Donkey Party voted in favor. The next round, the formal impeachment vote, will be held after the mid-term elections. At that time, the House of Representatives will vote on the four counts of perjury in Congressional grand jury testimony, perjury in testimony in the Paula Jones case, obstruction of justice and abuse of power...'
On October 8th, in Universal Studios Los Angeles, senior managers gathered in Bronfman Jr.'s office, and they all stared at the TV screen together with him.
"Ah……"
Little Bronfman sneered through his nostrils, "Shut it down."
"It looks like it's going to be a long time."
The president of Universal Pictures, Ron Meyer, turned off the TV, and everyone's eyes were focused on the documents on the desk.
Bronfman Jr. had no intention of signing for the time being. He glanced through the book and complained to Doug Morris: "What happened to Eisner? We had a good talk face to face that day, but now we regret it..."
Doug Morris smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed.
"Can't you fight for it again?" Bronfman Jr. looked at Barry Diller again.
"For what?" Barry Diller asked back.
"Make Disney reconsider decision to admit A+ records."
Bronfman Jr. said: "Go and talk to Eisner again. I obviously had a crush on him that day. APLUS is an extremely restless time bomb, scum, and it takes in such a star pair who betrayed the entertainment industry." Disney's reputation is not good, and the current record industry environment is not good. Disney shouldn't shift its strategic goals and join the competition with our top five, Barabara... If it wasn't for Eisner, I wouldn't be bothered to tell people so formally These words."
What's the meaning? Want me to smash my hand with an A+ record? Barry Diller felt a little irritable when he heard it, and he was a little too lazy to coax him, "Have you ever thought that maybe you shouldn't talk to him about this in the first place?"
The attitude of the "mentor" today is not quite right, Bronfman blinked his eyes a few times, and temporarily forgot to reply.
"You are the president of Universal Music Group, you should help little Edgar keep a close watch and avoid some imprudent meetings..."
Barry Diller reprimanded Doug Morris, he knew that there was his conspiracy in it, he didn't instigate it, the rich three generations had just returned to China, so they wouldn't remember to rush to see Eisner, and after seeing Eisner's A+ record still can shoot,
In the future, he can still not take the blame, because the obligation of early warning has been fulfilled, and the negotiation is also negotiated by the boss himself...
But I was embarrassed, because for some unknown purpose, Eisner revealed that Disney was going to take over A+ Records, and now the rich three generations want to force themselves to choose a buyer, that is, let the blame be on their backs and carry the pressure Say no to Disney, resell A+ records to so-called another buyer: John Malone.
"I know what I'm doing! OK?"
Little Bronfman was really upset, and rebelliously took over the conversation for Doug Morris: "It's you, Barry, you should have included Disney in the blocking alliance long ago, otherwise there would be no need for me to rush to talk to Doug Morris right after I came back." Greg went to see Eisner about it. Oh yeah, maybe you did it on purpose? Or did your friend John Malone not take over the plan at all?"
"He saw Disney's end and canceled the original plan, so..."
Barry Diller prevarication, can't continue to bite the bullet and maintain the lie, right, the business of hundreds of millions.
"Look, you should have expected this sooner, Barry," said Bronfman Jr.
"I'm not very familiar with the recording industry."
"I deliberately left Doug in Los Angeles so that you could communicate with him about something, and he has already reminded you of what should be reminded, right?" Little Bronfman seems to trust Doug Morris more now .
Just to add a word, the chasing book app I am using recently, [ app ] caches books and reads offline!
Barry Diller glanced at Doug Morris again, feeling that he was screwed this time, so now he also knows what the rift with Fu Sandai is, "I'm busy... Forget it, since John Malone is not going to end, I will be the middleman It doesn't make sense anymore, and I'm not here to make a little money...you let Doug negotiate directly with Disney. I don't care about it."
The relationship must continue to be maintained, and coaxing must continue, and at the same time, Universal must get the cash smoothly, and its own profit... Since the blame cannot be pinned on others, then he has no choice but to be a strong man and cut off his wrists, admitting it!
Otherwise, APLUS will really flourish in Disney in the future...then the money he earned from this business will become a thorn between the two of them, and he can't lose the big because of small things, but he is still in a bad mood, he impatiently said: Slam the door out.
Executives such as Ron Meyer and Doug Morris kept silent, watching the boss's obedient "mentor" leave, Doug Morris was secretly happy, and kept his achievements and fame in a low-key manner.
"So... shall we still sell it?"
Only the president of Seagram Liquor was afraid that the inflow of more than 200 million yuan in cash would ruin the business. He was not interested in the box office potential or the potential of new albums, so he stared at the documents on the table and asked.
"If it's not within your scope of authority, just say a few words."
Bronfman Jr. casually rebuked the family veteran and tapped his fingers on the table.
Ron Meyer, president of Universal Pictures, believes that APLUS, the star of the White House scandal, is a negative harm to its sequel project of the Blade Warrior series. Hollywood has the responsibility to prevent movies starring such people from appearing on the big screen and in front of the audience... ...'
‘Universal Pictures and Geffen Pictures have entered into a distribution rights agreement for the Blade Runner and Dance My Life franchises for $54 million in cash and millions in long-term revenue. '
Geffen Records under Universal Music Group, Hollywood Records and Metropolis Records under Disney have reached a blockbuster deal, transferring 50% of A+ Records shares and the copyright and track management rights of a small number of singles for 100 million knives . '
David Geffen, the shareholder of Geffen Records, told reporters that APLUS fully refunded the signing fee, and he wished the other party a smooth career in the next publishing company. '
Doug Morris, president of Universal Music, clarified the rumors that Seagram Universal Group urgently needs cash flow. He said that there are three main reasons for selling A+ records: doubts about APLUS's public image, professional attitude and creative enthusiasm, and they should be split and sold appropriately. Its label is one of the actions to respond to the monopoly doubts of relevant management agencies in advance. The last point is that this business is very cost-effective. '
"cheers!"
Fu Sandai Moji finally signed. In mid-October, Song Ya finished his last concert in Moscow in Eastern Europe and traveled a long distance to Los Angeles. He was very excited, and M-FXXK came out again!
Sony Columbia, Universal, and Disney are already the third company, and the three surnames... Bah bah bah!
If you count Lao Qiao Records and SBK who worked before but didn't officially sign a singer... five surnames.
Not only did he lose income from the Blade Warrior movie project, but he also lost 50 million in the singer's share of the new record contract, and paid 10% of the ransom fee for David Geffen, which was 5.4 million. The signing bonus and jointly redeemed the copyright of singles such as the Cup of Life with Disney.
The copyrights of the albums released by singers such as Mira and Fergie during that period will remain with Universal Music forever.
Later, Fergie will definitely have to pay for signing fees...
No matter, he came back low-key after a long journey, and he wanted to be refreshed first, "Thank you, Mr. Eisner." He warmly wrapped Eisner's hand with his palms, thanked him sincerely, and pushed the other's hand upwards with sobs Clenched, and touched his lowered forehead, "From now on, I will sell it all to you, just order if you have anything to do!"
He swears and swears, humbly thanks.
"Happy cooperation." Eisner smiled like a king, and did not discuss any specific issues on the day of the signing. He raised his glass and signaled to everyone present, "Cheers!"
"cheers!"
"Welcome APLUS!"
"welcome!"
"There are a lot of familiar people here, let's talk more, I won't come to the signing ceremony." Eisner has a weak heart, and usually doesn't stay in such celebration occasions for too long.
"Familiar..." Song Ya looked at the others, Oprah...forget it.
Linton.
"Thank you very much this time, Linton." He came down and hugged each other warmly.
"Uh, uh, it's fine." Linton didn't feel uncomfortable being hugged by the bear, and quickly pushed him away, "By the way, there is a precondition in this contract that you are not allowed to buy Disney stocks. Clear it too, or face a hefty fine."
"Mr. Eisner insisted on adding it," he whispered.
"oh?"
Song Ya was completely unprepared, and looked at Ms. Sloan next to her in surprise, and frowned, "Hehe, the control is really lenient, and you are not allowed to buy stocks?"
