It's not just herself who feels this way, but the judges below are very satisfied with her performance. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info Lin Mu saw Eric Furst White next to him change his previous opinion from B to A on the judging form. Lin Mu also has such a table in his hand, and he knows that B is a representative who recommends signing a contract, and A is a direct signing. The opinions of several judges are surprisingly unanimous, and in Lin Mu's opinion, Britney's signing with Geffen Records is already a sure thing.

This was followed by a live Q&A session, where each judge was able to ask Britney Questions.

"I think your voice is better live than you feel on tape, can you tell me why?" Eric Furst White asked first.

"Because I like to be on stage with an audience, and dance drives my passion!" Britney's answer was bold.

Several of the judges nodded, and they were very satisfied with Britney's answer, this girl has a very good grasp of the scene, which is an advantage over many singers who perform well in the studio but are not in good shape on the stage of the concert.

"Are you ready to become a professional singer?" Max Martin then asked.

"Of course, sir, this has been a dream for a long time!" Britney replied without hesitation.

"Although professional actors are very beautiful on the stage, but their work will also be very hard, all the efforts may not be rewarded, every year the record company will sign a lot of singers, but only a few people can really become famous, have you considered this situation before?" Max Martin added another question.

"Yes sir, I know these things, and I firmly believe that I am one of the few who succeed!" Britney replied on her own.

The questions did not stop, and the judges asked Britney some other questions. In the meantime, all the judging tables have been summarized to Geffen, and looking at the final results, Geffen has made a decision. He called his assistant aside and gave a few orders, then walked up to Lin Mu and patted him lightly on the shoulder, signaling Lin Mu to come out and speak.

"How did you know this girl named Britney?" In Geffen's office, he personally made Lin Mu a cup of coffee.

"If I told you that I accidentally bumped into you at the station, you wouldn't believe it!" Lin Mu took a leisurely sip of coffee, "It tastes good!" ”

"I'm not kidding you, I'm very optimistic about this girl, a singer who can make Eric Furst White and Max Martin look at both at the same time, maybe she really has the potential to become the next Madonna!" Geffen really thought Lin Mu was joking.

"But I really met her at the station!" Lin Mu was very helpless.

Geffen looked at Lin Mu like he was staring at a monster, "What you said makes me feel that the salary that Geffen Records pays to those scouts every year is a waste, if you come to do this business, it is estimated that all the scouts will have to lose their jobs!" ”

"I think it's all a coincidence!" Lin Mu said helplessly, he didn't understand why his luck was so good.

"If you're telling the truth, then all I can say is that your luck is the worst!" Geffen finally believed that Lin Mu's encounter with Britney was indeed an accident, but he knew that there was another thing that was definitely not an accident, "Some time ago, the stock price of Pierce Animation Studios skyrocketed, but this week it fell directly below the issue price, don't tell me it's also an accident." "It's normal for a new stock to be hyped after it goes public, but the stock price of Pierce Animation Studios also rose too much in the previous week, but just when everyone was optimistic about this dark horse in the stock market, the company's stock price began to dive across the board. The panic caused by the crash led directly to the liquidation of a large number of retail investors, and just today, Pierce Animation Studios' stock listed on the New York Nasdaq fell below the issue price. This is an extremely abnormal phenomenon for a stable company, and it is clear that someone is behind the stock price.

"Isn't this the perfect time for us to buy in bulk?" Lin Mu was not surprised by the news.

"We had just been planning to buy a stake in Pierce Studios, and then the company's share price plummeted. Don't you think we're a little too lucky? Geffen looked at the forest with a strange expression.

"The stock price of the new stock listing rises too fast, and it is easy to have room for speculation arbitrage, and it is natural for the stock price to plummet after the profit of speculative funds is withdrawn!" Lin Mu's analysis makes sense, but Geffen doesn't see it that way.

"I'm amazed by your attitude!" Geffen looked at Lin Mu, "I wouldn't be surprised if someone who doesn't understand what investing and the stock market are all about would say such a thing." But sitting in front of me is the owner behind Dream Fund, the owner of an investment company with an annual profit of more than $5 billion, saying such things, which makes me doubt your sincerity. This matter must have a lot to do with you and your dream fund, and I can even be sure that you are behind the operation of the stock price of Pierce Animation Studios! ”

"Dream Fund has no malicious intent!" Lin Mu's words were a tacit acquiescence to Geffen's statement.

"I didn't expect you to have such a means!" Geffen felt that although he had attached great importance to the existence of the forest before, he had underestimated the strength of the forest itself. Geffen thought he knew Lin Mu well, but he realized that he was very wrong. This young man gave him a feeling that he couldn't see through.

"It's time for DreamWorks to acquire Pierce Animation Studios now!" Lin Mu said noncommittally.

"Then can you push the stock price down a little more?" Geffen suddenly and mysteriously approached.

"Then we'll have to wait until Pierce Animation Studios goes bankrupt before we talk about it!" Lin Mu glanced at Geffen angrily, this guy is not an ordinary "greed"!

When the factory's acquisition of Pierce Animation Studio's shares was going very smoothly, and the investment was still cautious, DreamWorks bought the shares of Pierce Animation Studios with lightning speed, and by the time everyone reacted, DreamWorks had already announced that it would take control of Pixar with a shareholding ratio of more than 35%. The news caused quite a stir in Hollywood, but people were more concerned about the three executive directors of this company. David Geffen is a famous entertainment mogul, Spielberg is Hollywood's top director, and people are most concerned about wood.

Counting the newly established DreamWorks, Lin Mu has become a real power figure in two Hollywood film companies. In the newly released list of influential American entertainment figures, Lin Mu's ranking jumped from 11th to 3rd, behind Viacom's chairman Sanamre Shidong and Time Warner's head office chairman Albert. Since Lin Mu is also the chairman of Paramount, there is no doubt that DreamWorks will form an alliance with Paramount in the future. So this film company, which has not yet released any works, has been valued by many people just because of this acquisition. The media has even compared the company to other established film companies.

A week after DreamWorks announced its stake in Piixar, Lin Mu approached Pierce, the founder of the animation production company. Although DreamWorks now temporarily controls Pixar, Lin Mu is not satisfied with the current cooperation between the two parties, especially in the state of the two high-level dissociations, it is almost impossible to achieve a full cooperation.

And Pierce was actually very unconvinced by DreamWorks' acquisition, if it weren't for the speculative funds to snipe Pixar's stock price, DreamWorks would not have fallen into the hands of Lin Mu so easily. Pierce didn't realize that all of this was the result of Lin Mu's directing, so after meeting Lin Mu, he unceremoniously expressed his disdain for DreamWorks' behavior of taking advantage of the fire.

Lin Mu generously stated that DreamWorks had just done the right thing at the right time, and he told Pierce that he wasn't here to argue with him. "DreamWorks' acquisition of Pixar isn't just about expanding our capabilities, it's about building a deeper relationship with Pixar!"

"So you can buy our company's shares in a malicious manner?" Pierce snorted coldly, "DreamWorks is really sincere in cooperating!" ”

"Do you think you would choose us between Disney and DreamWorks if DreamWorks didn't have a controlling stake in your company?" Lin Mu explained his intention slowly, and finally he asked rhetorically: "Do we really have to sit idly by and watch your company cooperate with Disney to show our sincerity?" ”

Pierce wanted to refute it, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it, he told Lin Mu angrily: "Anyway, DreamWorks has now achieved a controlling stake in the company, and I am willing to bet on the defeat You are here to show off your authority to me, so please leave my office immediately." I'm going to submit my resignation to the board of directors right away and get out of the company for good! ”

"If you have such an idea, I can agree to your resignation right now without going through the board!" Such a threat is not lethal to Lin Mu, "I know that although this company is named after you, it is not that you can't function without it!" But I can tell you that as long as you walk out of this door today, you will say goodbye to the ranks of mainstream Hollywood movies forever! ”

"You're threatening me!" Pierce didn't expect Lin Mu to eat his set at all, and he was naturally annoyed and angry when he was unable to ride a tiger at this time.

"I'm not threatening you. It's you who give up: yourself! Lin Mu looked at Pierce quietly at a stubborn and arrogant guy like him. Trees must be both soft and hard. So he decided to give him a step first. "If you're willing to sit down calmly. Listen carefully to what I mean. I could consider taking back what I said earlier! ”

Pierce was also impulsive just now. In fact, since DreamWorks started the acquisition war with Pixar. Pierce has been unable to calm himself down. But things have come to this point. In addition to accepting woodland conditions. Pierce was left with only one way out. After a fierce ideological struggle. Pierce chose to compromise. He didn't glare at the woods angrily. Instead, he leaned back in his seat like a deflated ball. "Say whatever you want!"

"DreamWorks is merging with Pixar to become one company!"

"And then?" Pierce snorted weakly.

"After the merger, there will be several seats on the board of directors of DreamWorks!" Lin Mu said hintly.

"You mean it

Are we cross-shareholding in two companies? Pierce immediately understood Lin Yi, but he still didn't understand why Lin Mu did this, now that DreamWorks has the advantage of occupying a controlling position, it didn't have to do this.

"As I've said before, acquisitions aren't the ultimate goal of DreamWorks, we need to work with Pixar to complement each other's strengths!" Lin Mu explained.

Pierce smiled wryly, he had now finally figured out what Lin Mu was planning, he was going to tie Pixar and DreamWorks together with their interests completely. Pierce suddenly had a bold guess in his mind: "Looking at Lin Mu's inevitable stance, DreamWorks is likely to be ready to compete with Disney in cartoons?" ”

Combined with Lin Mu's current identity, Pierce was even more sure of his guess. Lin Mu is a director of Paramount, and he is the kind of person who speaks very loudly on the board, and he will not set up another film company for no reason and then put himself in a dilemma. But Lin Mu still did this, and Paramount's top management has not said anything about this matter so far, so it means that they have acquiesced to Lin Mu's behavior.

It's impossible for Paramount to cultivate a strong competitor for itself, so the relationship between Paramount and DreamWorks is very interesting.

According to Peirce's analysis, it is likely that there is some kind of tacit understanding between Paramount and DreamWorks, which also means that DreamWorks will not pose a threat to Paramount's exhibition in the future. In Hollywood, Paramount is rarely involved in the animated film market, and other areas are its strengths. DreamWorks' first step after its founding was not to launch its own movie, but to choose to acquire Pixar, and its intention is self-evident. Lin Mu is ready to support DreamWorks through Paramount and challenge Disney's supremacy in the animated film market!

"Mr. Xylon is very optimistic about the exhibition of animated films?" Thinking through these joints, Pierce suddenly wanted to hear what Lin Mu had to say.

From Pierce's name for himself, Lin Mu has clearly felt a change in his attitude, and this is exactly what he wants to see, what Lin Mu hates most is the kind of stubborn donkey that is hard to the end, like a stone in a pit that smells bad and hard. Now that his toughness has made Pierce succumb, Lin Mu naturally has to use the way of gentleness next. (To be continued.) )
