Chapter 8: Explosion Horror
Orange Online Entertainment not only held its first press conference after becoming the owner of Universal Music, but also announced in a high-profile manner that Avril Lavigne and cellist Yo-Yo Ma were poached from Sony Music.
One is a Canadian girl with a punk rock style, and the other is a world-renowned Chinese musician. The combination of an old and a young man was included in the bag of the fierce and resolute Guan Xin.
Combined with the recent news of the acquisition of Sony by the orange company, the two companies have a slightly strong smell of gunpowder, but no one knows what the reason is? How did a giant who did the Internet and electronic consumption suddenly get on it?
However, it has never been a big deal to watch the excitement, and the media is more willing to report such news, doesn't Hollywood rely on eyeballs to attract attention? Some good deeds even made posters of PK confrontation between China and Japan, which further set off the atmosphere of this kind of war.
David Geffen, the second shareholder, successfully became the new director of Universal Music, and the previous president was returned to Vivendi, and no one would lose face with this big man in charge.
Guan Xin has also changed from the youngest president of the NASDAQ to the helm of one of the four major records, this position is already enough to attract attention, not to mention adding the identity of Chen Bo's girlfriend, which is simply double care.
As for whether the orange company has anything to do with Chen Bo, no one seems to be able to say clearly, and on the surface, he no longer has any shares in orange. But it can manipulate the decision-making of the entire company behind the scenes, otherwise how to explain the problem of Universal Music?
He left, but her girlfriend came. Who has that much face?
And now he is a legendary entertainment player and a universal music, and he should be the most powerful person in Hollywood.
It doesn't matter if the wolf is coming or the sheep is coming. Chen Bo stood there, scolding or belittled, the capital advantage of the Chinese does exist, but few people continue to fear the concept of "red capital".
Isn't Legendary Entertainment still running normally as usual, and the Japanese did not influence the pattern and development of Hollywood when they were at their craziest, simply singing and dancing, and there will never be a shortage of parties in Hollywood.
Just like the buffet that was going on this night, on the one hand, it was a celebration, and on the other hand, it was also to help get acquainted with the singers and producers who signed the contract.
"This is Lenka, the potential rookie I've discovered from Australia."
"Taylor, the little talent of country music."
"Katie ......"
Although Guan Xin has not been in Universal Music for a long time, everyone has introduced Chen Bo one by one like a few treasures.
Stabilizing the old contract before and discovering new singers is also what she, the person in charge, must do, and it is true to cultivate a group of descendants as soon as possible.
Just after Avril and Yo-Yo Ma signed a contract, their Black Eyed Pea Choir and Lindsay Lohan then jumped ship to Sony Music, and Warner also took advantage of this turmoil to sign two singers in the UK, and they were both the same direct buyout contracts.
This is still quite out of line in the music industry, usually waiting for the contract to expire before signing, and buying out the contract halfway is a thing that disrupts the market and has no taste, but this head is exactly what Universal Music opened, Sony is retaliating, and Warner is taking advantage of the fire to rob.
Where there are really people, there are rivers and lakes, and no circle is peaceful.
"Yoon-hee asked you to shoot my first MV ......," Stephanie leaned over and said.
"Oh, okay." Chen Bo nodded, it was his own idea to sign her, or Li Yunxi's best friend, so it was reasonable that he should help.
"Well, I forgot you made movies. I'll leave it to you with my MV in the future. ”
"And me...... And me. ”
……
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Chen Bo was instantly surrounded by a group of chicks, as if he had entered a daughter country, and everyone wanted to find him to make the MV.
This MV and the movie are two different things, aren't you stupid? Would you like to bring Spielberg to you? It's strange not to shoot you as Jurassic dinosaurs.
I don't know who took advantage of the chaos and secretly attacked his ass, making him embarrassed, these chicks were too open, and they finally escaped the encirclement, and there was a burst of successful laughter behind them.
If you think about it carefully, it's better to make movies with actors who are cuter, at least not so crazy, and not to play tricks on the boss.
However, it is true that actors do not earn as much as singers, and singers can become popular for a while when an album is a big hit, and endorsements and commercial performances come one after another.
What does an actor's commercial acting do? Give you a performance on the spot? But it doesn't matter if the box office is not good, you can continue filming. If an album is not good, the singer will have to say goodbye to the stage, and there must be too many uncertainties in the career.
Not only do you have to avoid these fledgling female hooligans in one night, but you also have to deal with female reporters in sexy and hot clothes, and all Sony-related issues are only complimented, or you can talk about him left and right, creating a false impression that you want to cover up.
As for the truth, let them guess.
Although he didn't drink much, he was already a little drunk, and he still strictly abided by the traffic rule of drinking and not driving. Holding Guan Xin's hand, he walked slowly in the underground parking lot, enjoying the rare quiet.
"Wait, boss!" Frank suddenly jumped in front of him, raised his hand and said, "Something isn't right." ”
"Something is wrong." Chen Bo inevitably asked tightly.
"It's so quiet." Frank gestured to little Black Walter behind him, and the two of them pulled out their guns at the same time, guarding as if they were facing a great enemy. "This is the second basement floor, and there are people patrolling here when I come. You can see that the working lights of the CCTV monitors on both sides have been turned off, and it is very likely that someone has done something. ”
The two of them guarded Chen Bo and Guan Xin behind them, and after a glance and found no other abnormalities, Frank walked cautiously towards the Cadillac SUV, and did not rush to open the door, but carefully observed through the window glass to see if there was any problem.
The front, rear, and body of the car were inspected one by one, until when he crouched down and looked at the chassis, Frank quickly stood up and waved his hands as he ran, shouting, "Run, get behind the pillars!" ”
It's too late, it's too soon. Walter immediately pulled Chen Bo and Guan Xin behind the nearest load-bearing column, and then heard a loud "boom".
The intense sound waves hit the cochlea and burst into the brain, and Venus rose in the brain, and both ears had temporary tinnitus symptoms. Fortunately, Chen Bo's movements just now were not slow, and he hugged Guan Xin tightly in his arms, trembling at the moment.
Fortunately, the load-bearing columns blocked most of the shock waves and did not suffer direct damage.
Walter's forearm was cut through by a flying piece of iron, and a cut was made directly, and his arm was covered in blood.
"Frank, Frank!" Although the ears are still buzzing, the Venus in front of me is circling and circling. But Chen Bo didn't forget that there was still one person who didn't come, and shouted anxiously.
"Ahem...... Boss...... I'm fine! Frank staggered into his line of sight, his clothes mutilated and fragments inserted into it, apparently the work of the explosion.
"What did you say??" Chen Bo only saw him open his mouth, but he couldn't hear what he was saying, so he shouted again, "Are you okay?!" ”
"I ...... Not...... Affair! Frank could only gesture to him, and one word at a time, he was relieved.
The hotel staff rushed to hear the sound and immediately dialed 911 when they saw this scene, and gave Frank a simple wound treatment in time.
Although Guan Xin was a little frightened in his arms, she had no external injuries, and she recovered her hearing faster than him.
Chen Bo turned from behind the pillar and looked at the place where he had parked. I saw that the black Cadillac SUV was burning with raging flames, and the surrounding cars were also impacted, not only seriously deformed, but also shattered the window glass.
TMD is really ruthless, if people can't turn into a pile of scorched earth in it?
"This is C.4 explosives, which are 1.5 times stronger than T.N.T. The explosion is very fast! The fire was caused only after the fuel tank was punctured by fragments. Walter explained, clutching his bandaged little arm. If you are not a professional, you will never be able to play this kind of thing. Moreover, its plasticity is difficult to detect even on X-rays, and there are no traces of police dogs that are not professionally trained, and it has always been used by the military as an anti-materiel weapon. ”
"So, it's hard to get this kind of thing?"
"Yes, it's hard. Native to the Czech Republic, the United States is now the largest producer, but it is extremely tightly guarded. However, it is not impossible to get it on the battlefields in Iraq and Afghanistan, and it is easier to get it. ”
At this moment, the Los Angeles police department and ambulance finally arrived.
Although the body does not feel like a big deal, no one knows whether the shock wave will affect the internal organs, and it is still necessary to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to rule it out. And Frank was the most seriously injured, just now he was holding his breath, and then he fell into a coma when he saw the police coming.
"Sakurai, did you do it?" Chen Bo sat in the ambulance and immediately dialed the phone.
"Calling in the middle of the night is sick, isn't it? What did I do with me! The tone on the other end of the phone is naturally not good, there is still a time difference of about 3 hours on the east and west coasts, and it is indeed the middle of the night in New York.
"It's not your best, otherwise I will never let you go!" After Chen Bo finished speaking, he closed the line.
Although he has a grudge against Yoko Sakurai, a crazy woman, if he really wants to do something to him, he will definitely not delay it until now. And this woman is very arrogant, and she will not use such extreme means to retaliate, she wants to defeat him in a head-to-head confrontation.
But who else but her?
Dallett Group? Since the Harvard incident, the Tubert YMCA has been banned, and they have all moved from the open to the dark.
Although he was still engaged in political begging in Europe and the United States, according to the information he had, Tsering, who advocated violence, had been deposed by him, and Darett's own situation was becoming more and more difficult.
The increase in the country's economic and military strength will make other forces with various intentions more and more afraid of being involved with Darett.
Attacking someone like him who doesn't matter is not only meaningless, but it will completely anger the White House, which is American soil. After 911, terrorism has risen to the global topic.
Could it be the Bilderberg Club? Or is it a trilateral commission?!
