Chapter 1264 Overseas Issue

Text Chapter 1264: Overseas Publishing

"shxt! It seems that no one keeps him..."

Poor Underwood, who was beaten worse than himself by the leader of the true lie master, "Who will be his successor?" Song Ya called Ms. Sloan after seeing the news.

"Not surprisingly, I will choose from several deputy whips. David Bernier, Chet Edwards, Nancy Patricia, and Lewis of the Black Caucus all have a chance."

Sloan's analysis: "Bernier has a better chance of winning. He has 30 years of experience in the House of Representatives and is the chief deputy whip. He is from Michigan, not far from Illinois. Everyone can accept it. However, his political orientation is much more conservative than Underwood, and he is closer. Gore... the best for you is Lewis, but he has the lowest probability of qualifying."

Lewis is from the South, and his constituency is in Atlanta, Georgia. He has a bad relationship with Rangel, who is closer to him. Of course, the black party is generally friendly to him, even if the two parties have not had much dealings before.

"Well, it's not as good as Underwood."

For the last few stops of the perfect score tour in the United States, due to the convenient transportation and smooth promotion, Anschutz Performing Arts Company made a tight schedule. Song Yalue asked some questions about the situation on Capitol Hill and continued to run on the road.

Most of the performances are held in indoor stadiums, and the number of spectators for each show is nearly 20,000. The only good news is that the last show before Christmas will be broadcast live in Chicago. After seeing the grandeur of the global tour, hbo finally agreed to pay Yes, 7.5 million knives for the broadcasting fee, exactly half of the price of MJ's Bucharest show back then, not taking into account inflation.

Even so, Song Ya didn't want to lose. After the penultimate show, she led the team to Chicago's hometown, and she wanted to sing the finale of the full-score tour in the best state.

"A new whip has been elected, and it is Bernier."

Sloan calls to report.

"You have been away from Capitol Hill for so long, and your sense of smell is still very keen." Song Ya praised.

"Of course..." She couldn't help but feel a little proud, "Other meetings and chats?"

"OK."

Underwood had to stay in Washington to stand on the last post, but Song Ya didn't care about it anymore, and new problems appeared in his main battlefield.

"The five majors are not willing to accept?"

The previous overseas distributor of Metropolis Records was Polygram. It didn’t matter that apart from Daft Punk and Jazzy, they had almost no overseas audience among the artists under their umbrella. Big, and Disney's distribution strength overseas is far inferior to the top five.

PolyGram already belongs to Universal Music Group, and there are three generations of crazy rich. Universal has made it clear that it will definitely not renew its contract next year. Disney and the other four have talked for a long time, but none of them have reached an agreement.

BMG has Usher and r Kelly in their hands, and Quincy Jones has a relatively large internal voice, so he naturally refused.

Now EMI refuses, and the lead singer of the metal band in Warner boycotts him, and he is also the old club of Universal Music Group President Doug Morris, who also refuses.

Rick Rubin's Sony Columbia Records and Universal formed a duet alliance, which must be rejected, and Song Ya didn't want to beg him to be eccentric anymore.

"Disney is underpowered. You own 80% of Metropolis Records and two-thirds of A+ Records." Linda, president of A+ Records, said: "They will not set up an expensive global distribution network just to help you release records. ’” She actually heads up her entire record business.

"Is EMI not willing?" Song Ya asked with a glimmer of hope. EMI had competed with Polygram for the overseas distribution agency of Metropolitan Records before.

Linda shook her head, "I think the five majors have already reached a tacit agreement on this matter."

"Call me."

Song Ya called His Majesty the Emperor to complain, "Mr. Eisner! Jr. Bronfman actually blocked me! Blocked Disney's artists! This is equivalent to the Big Five joining forces to kill Disney!" He shouted: "They don't want to see another The appearance of the Big Six!"

"I heard about it,

We will use Disney's global film distribution network to help you, but don't expect too much, we have not been able to devote resources to the record industry for the past two years..."

Eisner said a few words of consolation, but in fact the central idea was just one sentence: think of a way yourself.

The Mickey Mouse Act was passed, and all the classic animated images of Disney have been renewed for another 20 years. They have freed up their hands and are following the trend to catch up with the concept of the Internet. This is a sharp weapon to increase the stock price. Eisner is negotiating with infoseek and other websites to acquire the remaining shares and completely convert it into a wholly-owned subsidiary.

"snort!"

Song Ya hung up the phone and immediately changed his face and snorted coldly. It's not that there is no plan for this situation, but it will cost a lot of money.

"Disney has no problem in Beimi, and its global film distribution network is also strong enough. We just need to build a small distribution network that is more flexible and can fill the vacant market."

Being forced to play publishing, I naturally had to ask Daniel, one of the top six presidents, and Daniel suggested an idea: "I suggested you to get one, I have some old subordinates in EMI..."

It's coming again and again, it's tiring to cooperate with him and have to be on guard all the time, Song Ya secretly sighed, "People from the former Caroline publishing company?"

"Yes, they have a certain strength in Europe. In a word, many people are willing to come out and continue to work with me." Daniel boasted.

"I remember that Caroline Publishing Company was spun off by you before, right?"

Song Ya ruthlessly revealed that when Daniel was the president of EMI, in order to integrate resources, he first spun off and merged his loyal companies, including his sbk, and the release of caroline. The two major branches rebelled and were defeated.

"I didn't fire people. EMI fired a lot of people later." Daniel argued.

"But Europe is not critical. Disney is also strong there. Your suggestion is that I spend money to cover markets that Disney doesn't want to operate, that is, markets where piracy is rampant..." Song Ya said.

"Everyone will do business that makes money, so there is no way, it depends on your own choice." Daniel said.

"Can you get Doug Morris to help again?"

"No, you leave, he can help Universal earn a lot of cash income, how can we help now?"

"Ask him?"

"OK."

Daniel quickly called back: "Doug Morris said that if you want to build a distribution network in Asia, he has a personal recommendation, but he will not say that he recommended it."

"who?"

"Chinese, Norman Zheng, former president of Polygram Far East, was recently laid off by Universal. It seems that he failed to compete for the president of the Pacific region. He is currently preparing to build his own record company in Hong Kong and needs funds. This person can recruit It is useful, and the network resources are very good, and it is very powerful there.”

"Uh-huh……"

Song Ya wrote and drew on the world map while listening, "I remember him, it seems that he came to meet me in the Xiangjiang Field and chatted a few words."

"How about it?"

"What about South America?"

"People who used the former Sony Columbia Records, the current situation in the record industry is not good, and the big five are laying off employees. Do you remember the manager of the South American branch when you went to perform? He also lost his job not long ago."

"ok."

Africa... Forget it, let’s forget about the Middle East. Such a calculation is not as difficult as imagined. "If there are people, I am afraid that the Big Five will be stuck in sales channels. They can do it."

"Nonsense, the new forces that challenge the release have always been their main targets of suppression."

"Yes, but now they forced me to do it."

"Aplus, let's do it!" Daniel encouraged excitedly, "I'll bring the one released by Caroline into the game!"

It came again, Song Ya couldn't laugh or cry, "What do you say?"

"We partnered to form a distribution company, Linda can't do this." Daniel said.

"I'm listening, Daniel." The phone was on speakerphone, and Linda was beside him.

"Uh, I'm talking about the facts, let's do it! aplus!"

"How much will it cost?"

"However, it will cost 100 million knives in advance."

"..."

Publishing is really a waste of money. Song Ya knows that once the network is established, she will have to bear a lot of labor and other costs for global employees, and she is a little speechless.

"We can ask Disney if they'd like to contribute some money," Linda suggested.

"Okay, you go get in touch, I'll approve some money for a feasibility study first." I'm not that reckless, although I once boasted about publishing in my early years, but that was just an immature idea at a naive age when I didn't understand anything. After so many years in the record industry and film industry, he already knew that this business is not easy to do, especially now that piracy is rampant, the record industry is a sunset industry, and the high-quality market has been taken up by big companies early.

"But your new album is about to be released." Linda said awkwardly.

"Damn crazy rich three generations!"

The feud became deeper and deeper, and after he redeemed himself and decoupled, both parties could have sex with each other without any scruples. Song Ya's eyes were filled with rage, "Do it if you can, m-fxxk he forced me, just choose a day rather than a day, people All potentials are forced out!"

"Yeah! Aplus! Count me in!" Daniel shouted over the phone.

"Don't worry about Daniel, it's not certain..."

"Don't forget aplus, I swallowed the cold mountain project for your sake, and you promised to make it up to me."
