Chapter 836: Dead to the End
"Did Daniel betray you too?" Old Mike, who was driving, asked.
"Why say 'too'? Mike. Song Ya, who was holding his cheeks and looking out of the window, smiled.
"I'm old, but I'm not blind, and I'm not deaf." Old Mike tugged at his earlobe.
"It's not enough to say betrayal, business is business, it's just that I can't accept it for a while. I don't mean that I can't accept his choice based on reason and interest......"
Song Ya shook his head, Old Michael almost never asked about his career, it was rare that he was willing to talk, there were only two people in the car, so he simply said a little more, "But I really can't accept that he put his little record company and A+ records side by side, I have put a lot of effort into this record company, you know Mike, it has been five years since he shared the small recording studio with Big A." β
"yes, five years." Old Mike shut his mouth and continued to concentrate on driving.
"Maybe Daniel is right, I'm really paranoid......"
Last week's movie box office list also came out, due to the accelerated decline of 007 GoldenEye, cat and mouse games won the second place in the list with a box office of 13 million, a slight increase from last week's 11 million, and Toy Story is still undoubtedly the first.
This is related to Linton's deal with Bowei Pictures, he asked the other party to postpone the opening of the comedy series New Father-in-law 2, and the two sides exchanged theater resources, and the new Father-in-law 2 helped Cat and Mouse Games keep the box office in the third week, so then Cat and Mouse Games must give up some resources in return for the Christmas file that New Father-in-law 2 is ready to force.
The reason for this operation is that Linton is not very confident in the Christmas performance of the cat and mouse game, after all, it has been released for a month by then, and it is very uncertain whether it can fight against the new strong films.
In this way, the total box office revenue of the cat-and-mouse game in three weeks has reached about 41.5 million, and according to this trend, the box office of Beimi alone can ensure that the project does not lose money, and hundreds of millions of dollars in the world are almost a foregone conclusion.
Coupled with the previous collaboration with Don Simpson and Jerry Brookheimer Film Studios on the Red Tide and Dangerous Games, Linton completely took off the hat of Hollywood Studios to make a film and lose one.
"As a film company that retains the legacy of Hollywood's big studios, Linton wants to make Hollywood Studios healthier, and he wants A+ Film Studios to sign a long-term partnership agreement with Don Simpson and Jerry Brookheimer Film Studios, one to two films a year, just like Don Simpson and Jerry Brookheimer Film Studios."
After Yeremov called to report the good news, he told Linton's new idea, "I think it's an opportunity, Linton's cooperation terms are basically the best in Hollywood, and it's difficult for us to get them in other film companies, so I'll sort out the terms and fax them over?" β
"What do you think?" Song Ya asked rhetorically.
"You can sign it, boss, while Linton is in the right mood, don't you still want to start filming and starring in a football youth campus film with Anschutz? In this way, we will have at least two strong companies that we will work with for a long time, Hollywood Pictures and KM Pictures, and Linton and Catherine are the kind of people who can exert a lot of influence on Disney and Universal distribution. In addition, we still have a film contract with Universal to dance the third part of my life, so our configuration is also very healthy, and no one wants to hold A+ Pictures. β
Yeremov said: "Linton also wants to join us to buy the film adaptation rights of Abagnell's new book 'The Art of Stealing' as a sequel to the cat-and-mouse game. But the legendary liar is now opening his mouth, saying that he has been contacted by a number of contenders, including a large number of production companies and some of the top male stars, such as Tom Hanks. β
"If your plan is successful, we won't be able to touch the distribution space for at least a few years." Song Ya said: "My recent dilemma in the record industry is that I don't have the ability to publish, right? β
"Come on boss, distribution is a thankless job, as long as we don't get cheated by the distribution company."
Yeremov is not so ambitious, "You can take this as a long-term goal, for example, let's see if DreamWorks can become one of the new eight in Hollywood, if Paul Allen's money plus Spielberg, David Geffen, and Katzenberg can't do anything, then we will definitely have no play." β
Also, take it one step at a time.
"Also, the promotion and distribution of the sequel to Dance My Life on Valentine's Day next year has also begun, and Ron Meyer, the new president of Universal Pictures, personally asked, and the theater resources should be guaranteed." Yeremov said again.
"I remember that this movie has been closed for almost a year, right? Time flies so fast......" Song Ya sighed.
"Quick? The male protagonist Ryan Gosling's agent is almost white. Yeremov laughed: "They didn't receive any valuable work this year, and they were counting on this film to become famous in one fell swoop." β
"Where's the heroine?" Song Ya asked.
"The heroine Jennifer LoveHewitt will be the focus of publicity, she got rid of the bad luck of the previous years with the TV series family of five, and is now one of the youth idols with great potential, and dancing the sequel to my life is also very important for her to break into the film industry, but I heard that this girl is very restless and has just signed with Atlantic Records."
Yeremov said: "After all, she debuted in the same children's program as Ferchy, and her musical dream has not been extinguished, and her momentum this year reminds me of the previous Mira, multi-habitat attack, the momentum is still good, I don't know if it will be ...... in the future."
"Mira......" Song Ya's thoughts have flown out of the sky.
'Following Schulhoff's announcement that he would no longer be at the helm of Sony Beimi due to health reasons, Daniel Glass, president of Sony Columbia Records, also announced his resignation today, explaining that he wanted to spend more time with his family and that he would be fed up with the cumbersome bureaucratic procedures of large companies, and that he would focus on managing his own record label, and he told reporters that he envisioned a freer and more creative model of music production......
Perhaps angry by his attitude when he left, Daniel officially announced his decision to leave the next day, and the mainstream media were shocked by Sony's determination to change blood this year, and there was a heated discussion.
This year's Sony,Nobuyuki Idei, who was criticized as 'Akio Morita's sycophant', was corrected as the sole CEO,Schulhoff, who was ridiculed as an 'unlicensed operator' by the United States, resigned,The top multinational company across the consumer electronics and entertainment industry has an uncertain future,There is very little discussion about Daniel himself,The media in the United States have rumored that after several years of testing,Finally, local executives will be sent to manage the United Statesγ
They never mention how the senior managers of the United States have dug the corners of the company over the years, this kind of double standard and arrogance is the specialty of the media in the United States, even if the business competition can not be beaten, even the company has been bought, and the domestic managers are so pitted, but it is impossible to obey the management of the defeated generals. It's no problem for the head office to manage the president of the North Mi Branch, but a large number of local middle-level people in Mi don't want the top boss to be a yellow-skinned book.
For example, during the announcement of the movie "Future Water World", which had pit countless people, Kevin Costner, the leading actor and director who was still full of ambition at the time, went to the book to attend the event, and his private jet did not even apply for an air traffic control permit, so he was naturally refused to enter the airspace by the book air traffic control department.
So he simply ordered the private plane to forcibly land at the Mi Army base over there......
A movie star has crossed the airspace of the world's second-largest economy, and such a rampant and nonsensical behavior is not a big deal for either the local Mi army or the Mi country, and it is very good to use it as a talking point, that's all.
What's even more magical is that the book actually touched his nose and endured it, and Kevin Scottner was not punished in any way.
"Regardless of Daniel, I decided to increase my efforts and fight the book to the end." Song Ya felt that the public opinion was available now, and decisively called Gordon to give a new order.
