Before Li Lin's first signing session in the world was finished, the reporters had already run out, and Li Lin absentmindedly signed thousands of signatures and then said sorry and left the venue.

He cares more about the war between Avril and Sony than about the signing meeting.

Sony is indeed a behemoth, but Avril is not a stupid woman, and since she has stood up to bombard Sony, she must have a way to deal with Sony.

"Maybe she's found a company that can withstand Sony's wrath."

Li Lin muttered.

As expected, the next morning, all the newspapers and magazines were talking about the war between Avril and Sony, and the page for Li Lin's signing was pitiful.

"Yesterday, Avril Lavigne came to Li Lin's signing meeting, and in front of many reporters, Avril confirmed the previous contradiction with Sony, and Sony became a laughing stock."

"The war of the lone husband, Avril challenges Sony, is this the last madness?"

"Avril: Sony wants to ruin my album and even more so to ruin me, I can't stand it anymore, I decided to stand up and reveal Sony's true colors."

"Is it a new life or a ruined miè, the punk princess Avril pulled Sonny to court, what MJ didn't do, Avril did."

Major newspapers have reported that they are fully inclined to Avril.

Some newspapers even portray Avril as Don Quixote, and Sony has become an unprecedentedly huge empire, and Avril this Don Quixote is bound to fail if he wants to challenge this empire.

But Avril still challenged, standing alone in front of Sony's huge empire and challenging Sony.

Although no one in the newspaper is optimistic about Avril this Don Quixote. But all of them are praising Avril's spirit, and they describe her as courageous.

"As we all know, Sony is a behemoth. Sony is an empire that is difficult to defeat for any artist, even the American idol Michael . Jackson didn't take Sonny to court either, but now, someone did, and she's Avril, our little punk princess Avril. ”

"Here it is. We wish this little punk princess success, and of course, it's like a medieval restoration. It's a beautiful dream. ”

Who is Avril? Punk princess, the darling of the media, and who is Sony? The Japanese, the Japanese who intend to buy the United States. Who exactly do American newspapers lean? Think about it with your toes.

Syllable!

Sony President Phil. Molineux slapped the newspaper on the table, "Who can tell me what's going on?" ”

Phil. Molineux is going mad.

When the newspaper arrived in the morning, he looked at it and found that Sony, who ruled him, had actually appeared in the news, and most importantly, Sony appeared as a villain.

He took a closer look at the news, and suddenly his nose was crooked with anger, and the scene where MJ accused Sony was actually repeated again.

"Howard. Stringer. ”

He angrily called Howard. Stringer's phone. "I don't care what you do to shut up Avril. Sony didn't want a second injury. ”

"I'll do it."

Howard. Stringer's voice came over the phone.

After hanging up, Howard. Stringer's teeth clucked and he thought, "Damn bitch, you want to learn MJ and don't even look at who you are." ”

"It's just a little star, and he dares to challenge Sony."

"Avril, you're dead, no one can save you."

Howard. Stringer is the president of Sony Music.

Since the former president of Sony Music, Tommy . After Matola stepped down because of a falling out with MJ and Sony, he was succeeded by Howard. Stringer, Howard. Stringer immediately began negotiations with MJ after taking over as president of Sony Music, which eventually calmed MJ's anger.

But since then, Sony Music has also begun a long process of suppressing MJ, but unexpectedly, MJ has not been completely suppressed, and another Avril Lavigne has emerged, and Avril is even bolder, and she actually pulled Sony to court, which is simply a slap in the face.

"Notify the big law firms we work with and get their whole team to come over...... Hmph, if you want to challenge Sony, you can't do it yourself. ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Sony held a press conference. Stringer was present in person, and under the flash of hundreds of reporters, Howard . Stringer's tough statement.

"I won't tolerate any artist's slander of Sony, ruining the album and hiding Avril, these are all things that don't exist, we've already explained it."

"Although I don't know why Avril suddenly went crazy and sued Sony."

"But since you want to take Sonny to court, then Sonny will be there for you."

"We Sony, not everyone can bully."

The American music scene shook suddenly.

Sony Music, one of the hegemons of the American music scene, has cultivated not many kings and queens, and even Maria came out of Sony, so to speak, among the many hegemons in the United States, Sony Music's strength ranks in the forefront.

Against such a giant, as the media said, this is a one-man war, and it is Don Quixote challenging a modern industrial empire.

However, Don Quixote knew this, but still challenged, which is commendable.

In a café, Avril and Li Lin sat opposite each other, relatively silent.

After a while, Li Lin took the lead in breaking the calm, "Avril, what did you call me over?" At this time, you are not suitable to contact me. ”

Journalists in the United States are everywhere, especially the reporters of gossip magazines, and they may be staying outside, watching their every move.

At the signing party, Avril pulled Li Lin in, and before he could get out of trouble, Avril asked him out on the grounds of an important matter.

As a result, she sat all the time.

"Do you want to stay out of it?" Avril burst out laughing, "Didn't you say that Sony has a lot of enemies?" Maybe they can help me? Why, aren't you Sony's enemy? ”

"When did I become Sony's enemy?" Li Lin didn't dare to put on the enemy of Sony, at least not now.

"Didn't you give me the money to start a record company? I thought you were Sony's enemy, but I thought I misunderstood! Avril had a playful smile on her face.

Seeing Avril's expression, Li Lin knew that she was deliberate, deliberately pulling herself into the game, pulling herself together to fight against Sony, he had to sigh, "Okay, you won, I didn't expect me to provide you with funds to make your own music, but it turned out to be a commotion." ”

"Say, what hole cards do you have to fight against Sony, don't tell me that you rely on me without any preparation, then I'd rather throw you out."

"There are no hole cards."

Avril spread out her hand, and when she saw that Li Lin was about to get angry, she immediately said, "But there is one person." ”

"He'll come over later, otherwise you won't think I'm asking you out just to let you sit here and take pictures of the media? I'm not like that. ”

"Who."

Li Lin didn't say much, only asked who it was.

"Steve. Keyes. ”

"AOL?"

Li Lin stood up openly.

Steve. Case, the founder of AOL, single-handedly developed Quantum Computer Services (AOL's predecessor) into a giant in the United States.

Later, in 2000, AOL and Time Warner merged to form AOL Time Warner, headquartered on Wall Street, one of the members of the Wall Street consortium, and his market value once approached Exxon. Mobil, equivalent to the GDP of Mexico and Pakistan combined, is an entertainment empire that integrates online and offline media resources.

Although AOL and Time Warner parted ways in the later subprime mortgage crisis, and the once-prosperous AOL Time Warner was dissolved, in this era, at this time, AOL Time Warner was an absolute behemoth.

Sony is compared with him, and he has to be low and small, unless the Japanese consortium behind Sony makes a move.

"Hasn't he left AOL Time Warner?" Li Lin calmed down for a while, but his heart was still turbulent, "His whereabouts are a mystery now, how could he get in touch with you?" ”

Steve. Case is ambitious and wants to integrate all online and offline resources to completely become an entertainment empire in the entertainment industry.

But.

His ambitions were not realized.

After the merger of AOL and Time Warner, because the board of directors was too complex, there were constant battles between open and covert, many resources were unnecessarily consumed, and even the title of Warner Duo was created.

The two heroes sound like they are very majestic, but there are no two people, Warner gave birth to two heroes, two people give orders, internal friction with each other, the good AOL era Warner is weakening step by step in internal friction, and it has not become an entertainment empire that integrates online and offline resources in their imagination.

And as one of the double cultivators, Steve. Keys also lost the battle, not only did he resign as president of AOL Time Warner, but he also became a mystery about his whereabouts, and the American media couldn't hear about him at all.

Until 2014, one of the former Warner duo did not appear in the public eye, as if the world had evaporated.

I didn't expect him to get in touch with Avril.

"It's not that I got in touch with him, it's that he got in touch with me, and besides, he's very interested in you, so that's why I asked you out to meet, and the protagonist of this matter is not me." Avril took a sip of coffee, "His taste is really unique, choosing such a café tastes unpalatable." ”

Li Lin also picked up the coffee when he heard this, took a sip, and the bitter taste suddenly filled his mouth, "It's very bitter, it seems that the owner of this coffee house sincerely wants to drive the customer away, maybe he feels that life is the same as coffee." ”

"The human body is inherently full of bitterness like coffee, isn't it?"

A middle-aged man in a khaki shirt slowly pushed the door open, his slightly gray hair seemed to indicate that he had reached the age of no doubt.

"To introduce myself, I'm AOL Time Warner's loser Steve. Keyes. (To be continued......)
