"Is the record company's prospects really so gloomy?" Song Ya asked Donovan when he left Beverly Hills.
"David Geffen is not a prophet."
Donovan said: “As soon as he sold Geffen Records, MCA signed Nirvana for Geffen Records, and the record has been selling well all over the world. Instead, his investment in Hollywood has repeatedly suffered setbacks. Last year’s Ultimate Vanguard was the best. Examples, that’s why he got closer and closer to Spielberg and Katzenberg, who are also Jewish."
"Why?" Song Ya asked.
"He has money, records and resources in the political world. Spielberg is a box office guarantee. Katzenberg has served as executives of Paramount and Disney Pictures. He has management capabilities and is one of the big names in the animation film industry. ."
Donovan replied: "This time it should be Spielberg who is anxious to acquire DTS. His major production Jurassic Park will be launched in August. If you want to have the same theater audio technology as Batman Returns, in the radio stage You have to start using DTS equipment."
"Political resources?" Song Ya asked.
"He is the big bet of the Donkey Party. This year he placed a heavy bet on the governor of Arkansas. It is not a secret." Donovan said: "And as the big brother of the Hollywood Same-Sex Brotherhood, he treats homosexuality, especially the entertainment industry. The **** community in China is very influential, and it is not a small force on the media battlefield that is crucial to the election, especially when the two parties are in a stalemate."
"I understand, but is it okay for Spielberg to do this? He is just the director of Jurassic Park, right? Universal Pictures is the producer." Song Ya continued to ask: "In the movies invested by Universal The company I just bought has a large market share, is it a bit..."
"Haha." Donovan laughed, "It's legal, and the rest can only be blamed on Universal's insensitivity to this new trend in industry technology."
"Yes."
After Song Ya returned to the hotel, he immediately discussed with Dilai that the main problem at present is not how to deal with David Geffen and the others, but to solve the legal team of A+ Audio Company, which owns 20% of DTS shares.
Due to historical reasons in the acquisition of A+ Pedal Company, A+ Audio Company is still provided legal services by the Lockhart and Gardner Law Firm. With Will Gardner’s trap and the accusation of AW Investment Company, its reputation is damaged Very serious, he is no longer suitable to complete such an important negotiation on his behalf.
"How about Diane?" Dile mentioned another managing partner of Lockhard and Gardner's law firm, Diane Lockhard.
"It's not good, I don't want to make the relationship with David Geffen and the others."
Song Ya thought about it and rejected it. "Diane’s style is similar to Will Gardner. They are too aggressive. If it weren’t for the money they received from AW Investment Company, Edward wouldn’t have to. Only after seeing Will unlucky did he give up."
"Take the opportunity to kick them?" Dile suggested, "Anyway, their fees are really too expensive, and A+ Audio Company is now in no danger of litigation."
"No."
Song Ya valued not Diane Lockhard or Will Gardner, but Alicia Flock in their law firm, the wife of Cook County State Attorney Peter Flock.
"By the way, let Alicia come over to do this." He had a good impression of the woman, and by the way, he could sell him a good one, in return for his favor for reinstating Cathy's father.
"Okay, I will call her now."
Dile quickly called Alicia to Los Angeles.
"My bottom line is twelve percent."
Song Ya reached out to this beautiful professional woman who always dresses well and has an elegant temperament, "Every time I get 1% more shares, you will get a corresponding commission. Please discuss the specific details with Dilei. Stay in Los Angeles."
"I understand." Alicia smiled and shook hands with him: "In fact, Will is better at handling this kind of affairs."
"It's you. By the way, is Will's case going well?" Song Ya hinted that he didn't want Alicia to get Will over. Of course, under normal circumstances, even if he was in the same room due to interests. Law firms and lawyers cannot have such a noble spirit of'dedication'. Their competition power is greater than cooperation.
"He will be fine." Alicia put her smile away and said categorically.
?
Song Ya smelled something different from the other person's expression and words. Could it be that Peter, you too...
Don't say anything, be strong!
"That's good, sit down."
Forget it, now is not the time to delve into this kind of thing, "I think Dile has explained the basic situation to you clearly, right?"
"Yes."
Alicia’s level of business is still okay, "I think you are in a three-way game, right? DTS definitely wants to pay the least equity and get the most financing, while David Geffen and the others have to pay the least money. Get the most equity, and we hope that they can cooperate successfully and pay the least equity on their own side."
"Your summary is correct." Song Ya reminded her, "but the aggressiveness must not be too strong. I don't want to be the bad guy, understand? Spielberg's movie was launched in August, so delaying time is a negotiation strategy. It may be very effective ~www.mtlnovel.com~ but it must be used very carefully. I repeat, I don't want to be the bad guy, and I don't want any of the investors in the A round to have enemies."
"I understand, thank you for trusting APLUS for me."
"Yes, say hello to Peter for me."
After explaining all this, Dilai was temporarily left in Los Angeles and Alicia to jointly take charge of the tripartite negotiations. Song Ya took the other people on the long-distance flight to the notebook under the arrangement of Sony Columbia Records to continue his first announcement. On the trip, I didn’t even have time to meet DTS founder Terry Beard.
Record sales are not only a proof of status, but also a source of money. Otherwise, why would David Geffen say hello to himself in advance? Song Ya clearly knows that the expected cash income and financing ability of A coffee star's big album sales are the key to the other party's politeness.
"Of course, if it weren't for Apocalypse, I wouldn't buy any DTS to take the lead. It seems necessary to continue to tap the potential of Apocalypse content."
On the plane, Song Ya focused on the original MV of Apocalypse in his mind.
Chicago 1990 Chapter 286: A+ clothing
The itinerary in the notebook was even more hurried. Three days later, Song Ya and others dragged their weary pace on the return flight.
"It seems to have come a bit early." Hayden was very dissatisfied with the arrangement of Sony Columbia Records. "There were very few fans who picked up at the airport, and the audience at the event was not too enthusiastic. In addition to the time on the road, the fan meeting and signing for one day, Then visit the Sony headquarters and have dinner and entertainment with high-level executives. What can it do?"
"Singer image management is a long-term process."
The head of Sony Columbia Records’ advertising replied: “The first step is always to be taken. The book is the world’s second largest record market, and it’s good for APLUS to deal with senior management. The global advertising and publicity division’s book Doesn’t Mr. Idei like APLUS very much? They can still talk with a pen, at the Kaiseki dinner..." He asked Song Ya, "APLUS, what did you talk to him?"
"What can we talk about? We are not familiar."
Song Ya hugged Fergie who was already asleep, "Just talked about MD endorsements, and then I complimented that your headquarters building is very beautiful."
