Chapter 1188 ? The Media Group Set Sail

"Advance Xianyang to be the king, and enter Xianyang later..."

Song Ya chatted with Alicia about DeLay's case at night, and held an impromptu meeting with Sloan and others. The next day, he returned to law school to continue his studies. In early May, DeLay still did not agree to the singer. At the same time, the headquarters of Litman Media, the 24-hour news channel, and ACE (Atlantis Cable Entertainment Channel, formerly A+CN) were finally officially listed after the completion of the reorganization and relocation.

A large number of American flags fluttered in the wind again in front of the two buildings. Naturally, the scale this time was much larger than the previous A+ record ceremony, with a bigger stage, a more formal ceremony viewing booth, and more senior managers, reporters, Celebrities, politicians and guest performers, Fergie, Mira, Destiny's Child, marching bands and Chicago bands specially invited from outside all gave performances between the speeches of Littman Media executives and politicians. A+ Studios' 'How Do I Stop This' features black Hollywood actor Jamie Foxx and newly recruited late-night anchor Jones Stewart for an impromptu two-person stand-up show.

After socializing all afternoon, people seamlessly entered the opposite Litman Media headquarters building for a visit, and then went to the banquet hall temporarily transformed from the company cafeteria to attend the dinner. His own media group finally set sail, and Song Ya was naturally in a good mood. Go back to the office and change into another grand dress.

"Going backward in Xianyang... Fu Bao Zai Chao Gang!"

There was still some free time, and he picked up the microphone while humming contentedly, "Zecheng, is Yeremov here?"

"He's been waiting a long time."

"Well, bring him in."

Soon, Song Zecheng let Yeremov in the door.

"How is your contact with Polygram?" Song Ya asked.

After Bronfman Jr. furiously issued a gag order, he did not publicly comment on related topics. It was not necessary, but there was no delay in the chaos that should be added. Let the counterpart A+ film studio start contacting Polygram and ask Polygram Films, which valued them, really began to form a negotiating team one by one, and put on a posture of sincerely seeking a purchase.

"They paid out two billion yuan. In addition to the thousands of employees in the global film distribution network on paper, Polygram Pictures also has a huge film and TV copyright library, several European and American TV networks, TV stations, Comic strips, publications, videotape distributors... a mess, not very successful."

Yeremov handed over a document, "In addition to Anna and the King, they also have several film projects that have also been suspended, including Notting Hill starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant. I only got this back from the initial negotiation." More information, I feel that Polygram’s sincerity is not high, the asking price is too expensive, Universal should have put a lot of pressure on them, they dare not take the risk of negotiating a big deal for Polygram Pictures and Universal, unless they get it from us To a very high premium, the cost of betrayal is enough."

"Hey, it's okay, Universal has to pay a price if it wants to stabilize Polygram, isn't it?"

Two billion? Butchering a pig, I don’t even want to halve the price, huh? What do you think, I didn't want to.

"Then..." Yeremov asked.

"Keep talking, haggling,

Make it realistic. "

In fact, it is reasonable to say that Universal and PolyGram have too many overlaps in the global distribution system. There is no need to keep some departments after the two are merged into one. Many investment institutions and Hollywood companies are waiting with their jobs, just like last time Little Bronfman is like selling the US TV network for a low price. There will definitely be a lot of leaks flowing through his fingers. If there is no accident, Song Ya feels that he will probably be similar to David Geffen at this time. Little Bronfman was enthusiastically supportive, waiting for the merger to be completed, but who knew that the third generation of the rich would suddenly target him for no reason?

"Negotiations are expensive."

A+ Film Studio has always been a Hollywood production company with a very streamlined internal structure. Yeremov complained: "Accounting firms, legal consultants, financial consultants, investigation companies, brokers... In order to make the performance more realistic, the company has recently spent a lot of money. Plus, those banks started contacting me non-stop, chasing me in Hollywood, making 24-hour calls."

"Hold on, Yeremov, hold on!"

Song Ya encouraged him, "You have to show some arrogance and independence that match your identity in Hollywood. It's not convenient for me to talk now, so you have to stand up and at least help me spray those guys who are too jumpy, you I'm Jewish, what are you afraid of? Follow others, pick a few who help little Bronfman scold me and go back!"

"I..." Yeremov wiped his sweat.

"Don't me, me, me, I have to give you a sense of crisis." Song Ya couldn't understand his cowardice, and immediately turned to threaten, "You know how much Daniel wants to participate in the so-called acquisition of Polygram Films now Business case? How about I give the top six CEOs an A+ title as the CEO of the film industry to help you?"

"No, no, don't, boss, I will work hard, please don't..."

Yeremov was so frightened that he repeatedly begged, "I know what to do."

"You really know?"

"I know."

"Well, well, don't always put your face on your shoulders, be happy, today is my big day." Song Ya was quite satisfied with her imperial skills, and put her arms around Yeremov's shoulders affectionately, and went together Ballroom.

"Hey! Mr. Governor, Mrs. Flock."

As the only owner here, when he walked into the hall with steady steps, he immediately attracted the attention of the audience, but he didn't realize the attention of the distinguished guests. He stretched out his hand from a distance, and strode towards the governor and his wife with a happy face, " McAvoy, it's all up to you here from now on. Like Chicago?"

Governor Peter's re-election pressure this year is very small. The party did not create any strong opponents for him in the primary election, and the party did not fight enough. He likes to come here. The headquarters of a media company with a market value of 800 million is located in Chicago. All the credit has been taken, and from the outside world, he has indeed made the decision to let the state of Illinois give a lot of policies, and politicians like this.

Politicians also like anchors with strong news appeal. McAvoy, the former ABC news anchor, is a white male in his early forties. He is a traditional media person. His ability, integrity, desire for control and annual salary are all abnormal. , I don’t like to please the audience. If Ovitz hadn’t been so angry with him, he wouldn’t have sold ANC so easily.

Coming to Littman Media, he still has a firm grip on the new newsroom as editor-in-chief.

Peter and Alicia "abandoned" CEO Sloan, who is so famous today, and talked with McAvoy exclusively. It is conceivable how much they value each other.

"As long as there is a studio, I can stay anywhere."

McAvoy was indeed very proud, and his attitude towards the new backstage boss was the same. He raised the champagne and took a sip, "Excuse me, I still have live broadcast tasks."

It's a bit embarrassing, "Uh..." Song Ya looked at his back, feeling that it would soon be her turn to feel Ovitz's troubles, "I heard he doesn't like to socialize?" So she found a step for herself .

"He's a pure journalist, and he's been tricking me just now."

Peter laughed. Soon, they saw Sloan and the Underwood couple, and they came from a distance with the director Charlie Skinner and the deputy director Gordon.

The director is still the same, Charlie Skinner, a well-known Jewish media person, and Gordon, the deputy director. Both of them are old guys with decades of experience in the circle. A+CN's elite African-Americans who still have aspirations to stay in the news industry have also been transferred. For example, the former A+CN evening news hostess will join McAvoy's team and partner with him in the evening news. Time, noon news and other columns. McAvoy also runs the special political commentary after the evening news.

In terms of global news sites, in addition to A+CN’s original South African station and the strong Middle East station, they have the best Middle East news reporter, who is also a former ABC female reporter Mackenzie McHale. Immediately after Sloan led the team to China Huaguo Station will also be opened.

The former White House reporter, the former ABC reporter, served as the chief political reporter of Foxnews for a short time, and the female Stephanie, who left because of disagreements, continued to serve as the chief political reporter and the White House reporter.

In addition, Jones Stewart, who is in charge of the night time slot, is a 35-year-old Jewish potential talk show anchor. At least in the book data, he is already a very strong news station with a balanced black and white. McAvoy, who is a little conservative, most of the others are staunch liberals.

The resources of ACE, a comprehensive entertainment channel reorganized from the original A+CN, are much worse. Anyway, the black group has been doing serious news for several years and they don’t buy it. So Song Ya asked them to start imitating Mori Xiu, who has no lower limit, and started entertaining to death. , Give full play to independent initiative, how to earn subscribers.

"It's sparkling here."

Mrs. Underwood laughed.

"Because everything is new?" Song Ya joked, and Underwood was the same. This year, there is no pressure to campaign in the iron ticket area. The couple are very relaxed, and everyone soon started chatting about the gossip of the current commander-in-chief. stand up.

"The more the Elephant Party clings to a lace that has no evidence, the more voters will hate them. They are making a big mistake." Underwood said optimistically.

"Death struggle," Peter commented.

"APLUS, come here."

Sloan, who also went to change into a crimson evening dress, saw that everyone didn't talk about any important topics, so he quietly pulled Song Ya aside, "Part of the money raised by Littman Media was purchased, and part of it was used for the American music website to continue burning. There's about a third left, and I've got a little new idea."

"A woman's desire to shop."

After inquiring from Bronfman Jr. about the price of the American TV network, and asking for the next best thing to buy a Latin TV station, it caused a lot of trouble. It seems that Sloan has a new target. Does spending money count?"

"Don't interrupt."

The relationship between the two people who have had countless negative distances is infinitely closer than what they have shown to the public. They think and say what they want in private, and they get along very comfortably. "Have you noticed? The news about your speech on the American Music Forum has come down again." Sloan ask.

"It's normal."

Song Ya shrugged, "I officially denied the matter of the bathroom in the east hall, and the news points that attracted the attention of the media are gone."

"I summed up the lessons we learned from our last public relations battle with Oprah. Under the BBS mode, your posts are getting later and later, and people will be less and less lazy to read them. There are a lot of meaningless comments from other users in the middle. , and the enemy will deliberately insert some negative remarks, even rumors, and in the end it will definitely become a scolding war between the two sides, so the focus will be blurred."

Sloan analysis.

"I can post a new post and put it on top." Song Ya didn't think it was too much trouble.

"Now there is a new model called web log, WebLog, you know?" Sloan asked.

"I know, it's similar to those personal hypothetical private websites, and they will write diaries on it." Of course Song Ya knew.

"Most people still don't have that technology and time. I plan to buy a website that specializes in providing this kind of service, called Weblog. They seem to use an information aggregation technology RSS, Netscape's. This technology can let you follow your I don’t know the specific technology, but William Zhang, the president of the American music website, highly recommends it. Our American music website has a large number of user resources, and they have new technologies and new models. Cooperation will soon Win-win."

"You don't have to worry about being inundated when you post a new post," Sloan said.

"Wow, it feels like you're looking for a new toy for me." Song Ya continued to talk.

"Be serious! This is a real problem. Many famous users of American music sites have gone to Weblog. They have the same needs as yours, and their fans will follow if we don't act." Sloan shook his arm. A slap.

"Ex-wife behavior."

"It's enough!"

The two were flirting, and Shakira approached suspiciously, wrapping her arms around her boyfriend.

"You are the CEO, and I'm just a chairman so humble that even the board of directors can't control it."

Song Ya's face remained unchanged and she clinked her glass with Sloan, "I'll show you a few people, dear." Then she took Shakira to socialize.

It was joyful and peaceful here. Song Ya, Michelle and the others chatted for a while before looking for a place to enjoy the little Latin motor, and McAvoy had already sat in a brand-new studio at this time, and the original station logo did not Change, "Good evening ladies and gentlemen, maybe you have noticed some changes in the environment here, but my new colleagues and I will still bring you the evening news broadcast..."

"Long-term viewers of this station should know that I don't want to talk about the anecdotes about the President of Arkansas and Miss Lewinsky..." In the column of political commentary after the evening news, he began with this sentence, "but I want to remind all Americans that Mr. President denied having a relationship with Ms. Lewinsky in the previous Paula Jones case. Lewinsky herself also submitted a written testimony to deny it, but her friend handed over the Whitewater case The prosecutor's tape evidence... So now there is a question, if... I mean if the final commander is proven to have lied in court, then please note that this is a very serious crime of perjury."

The mobile phone and landline on the boss's desk rang quickly, "What's wrong?" Song Ya put Shakira next to the landline and freed up his hands to answer the phone.

"Is McAvoy giving you a gift APLUS? What he just said was very imprudent."

Underwood himself called and asked, "Where are you?"

"I am in the office."

Song Ya soon met the Underwood couple, as well as the Michelle couple and other donkey party politicians, "Ovitz can't control him, and I can't, and my control over Littman Media is just like that..."

He didn't take the blame anyway, "Ms. Sloan promised them a lot of freedom in order to win."

"Gordon will speak for the commander. Gordon's special column is behind McAvoy." Sloan came in to add in time, and turned on the TV.

"Arkansas pretending to be a white man? Hehe, the ultra-conservative Rep. Dan Burton of the Elephant Party has been very active recently. He is like a mad dog biting the commander-in-chief's support for African-Americans. He is very unhappy. , because we voted for the Grand Commander in 1996..."

After sitting on the bench in the National Council of Colored People for a long time, Gordon, who returned to the spotlight, sneered at the camera, "That racist also frequently used the Lewinsky case to attack the current chief, as if he was something Moral role model? Look! See what this is!?"

He held up a cardboard with a picture of Dan Burton walking out of the house in an intimate manner with a woman, not his wife. "So let's ask our morality police to explain his own affair? The one in my hand." There is more evidence than the prosecutors in the Whitewater case..."

Damn, forgot that Gordon was all about killing Dumbleton in his re-election campaign.

Song Ya raised her forehead and peeked at Underwood through her fingers, "I can't help it, I can't control it..."
