Chapter 578 Internal Perspective
I'm a billionaire now, so I won't see him if I don't see him? Is this Sandy Glenn dizzy? Song Ya walked into David Geffen's study smoothly.
David Geffen was indeed not in a good mood. He was holding a soft cloth and cleaning the artworks in the office melancholy and meticulously.
"Mr. Geffen." Song Ya walked behind him and greeted him.
"A long time ago, I remember you promised me that you would speak out for the same-sex group in the MV? I haven't waited for it yet, APLUS." He said softly.
Song Ya didn't know what happened between him and MJ, but she could feel the sullenness hidden under the calm appearance, "Yes, I promised, second school, next year, I will not break my promise." I really almost put this The promise was forgotten, so I had to promise again.
"Keeping your word is a great quality, and I want you to have it," he said.
Seems a little angry with himself? "Did something happen?" Song Ya asked.
He took a deep breath. "You've heard how people on Wall Street laugh at Hollywood, right? They say we're often driven by our emotions and do things that don't make sense."
It's not that Wall Street's money hasn't been tricked by you... Song Ya complained silently in her heart, but the words became, "Those vampires can't understand the inner world of artists at all."
"That's right."
David Geffen nodded, "I've had a bit of bad luck in the past two years. The Grand Commander betrayed his pre-election promise to me and the gay fraternity. The movies I voted for, Ultimate Vanguard and M. Butterfly failed miserably at the box office. Katzenberg's You heard about it too?"
"Yes, I just heard about it."
"Michael Eisner, that old bastard, I really hope he dies on the operating table." David Geffen cursed the head of Disney viciously on behalf of his friend.
"Why did he do that?" Song Ya asked.
"Who knows what that power-obsessed maniac was thinking. Maybe he just wanted to make sure that no one could challenge him inside Disney during his heart surgery. He even asked the Disney board of directors to oust Katzenberg. Promise to get NBC from David Welch (NBC is controlled by General Electric)."
David Geffen took a deep breath, "Let's not talk about this, we have to move on, you will come to the premiere of Interview with the Vampire, right?"
"Will do."
"Help me run another run in Chicago?"
"no problem."
"Well, sit down, you don't have to be restrained here..." He stopped talking.
Song Yaqing went to the bar to get a glass of wine by himself, and held it in his hand, "Your new movie will not fail, and the box office appeal of the soup is there." The atmosphere was a little heavy, and he relieved the other party.
"That's exactly what I was worried about, APLUS, that this movie might ruin my friendship with Tom and maybe Brad Pitt," he said.
"how?"
"You'll know when it's released." David Geffen sat beside him, "I'm a little disheartened."
"Then..." Song Ya didn't quite understand what he was implying, or was he just looking for someone to talk to.
"Don't worry, I'm still interested in the sequel of Dancing Out of My Life. If I had known, I would have invested in your first episode, but... who would have known?" He regretted missing out on Dancing Out of My Life.
"I welcome your investment in principle."
There is no apocalypse, and Song Ya is not sure about the sequel to Dancing My Life. Naturally, she hopes to attract more tycoons to participate. will agree.
"Good boy." David Geffen forced a smile.
"Uh, I saw Sandy and Li outside just now, what happened to them?" Song Ya asked.
"MJ fired Lee and sidelined Sandy."
David Geffen replied: "I should have known he was going to do this, it was obvious from when he liquidated Bottfields, but I still have expectations for the friendship with him for many years... So, I Knocked out by him, a beautiful home run, hoo!"
He made a swinging gesture,
He smiled self-deprecatingly, "You also have to be careful with MJ, he now trusts Aaron Grubman and Motura a lot."
"Really? How do you say? Isn't he talking about a deal with Sony Copyright Company?" Song Ya didn't expect that Aaron Grubman, who had betrayed the news of his mutiny, would regain MJ's trust, and Motu pull……
Or is the tycoon in front of him trying to drive a wedge between himself and MJ? Retaliation for MJ's resentment for sweeping away all the power around him?
David Geffen didn't answer right away, he was silent for a while before speaking again, "You don't know what the inside perspective of the MJ case is like..."
It turns out that the plaintiff, Evan Chandler, asked MJ for money very early on. At that time, he hadn’t taken advantage of his son’s thoughts. He was just jealous that his ex-wife always took the children to Neverland. There were too many situations, so I didn't take it to heart, and rejected it contemptuously.
But that dentist was not a former servant. He became angry and began to search for 'evidence'. The second time, he came to the door again with a serious accusation of pedophilia to blackmail him, and he asked for 20 million dollars.
MJ's side also began to deal with it seriously, and the time was around the time when Motura often went to Neverland for meetings.
At that time, MJ's men were divided into three camps, each with its own ideas.
Motura and Aaron Brugman suggested spending some money to settle the matter. After all, from the perspective of their interests, MJ’s world tour must not be affected at that time. They calculated a two-way ratio based on the dentist’s debt and income level. The settlement amount is about 1.7 million knives, and Evan Chandler should agree to this condition at that time.
David Geffen and his colleagues Botfields, Lee Phillips, and Sandy Glenn believe that this kind of extortion should not be encouraged. They suggested that the money should not be given too much, with a maximum of 350,000 yuan, or they should be rejected directly. The reason is that Evan Chandler will definitely file a lawsuit in Los Angeles. The district attorney over there, Gil Garcetti, has always been more inclined to protect the interests of stars. It is impossible to lose the lawsuit. After all, MJ has never done that kind of thing.
There is also Branca, MJ's old lawyer, who suggested that MJ use some gray means to get rid of the dentist.
Obviously, MJ would not consider Branca's suggestion, out of anger at being falsely accused, and at that time, Song Ya launched a rebellion, and Aaron Brugman, who leaked the news, was suspected by MJ and lost Sony Columbia Motura, who was the record president, was also disheartened. He chose to trust David Geffen and others, and let Bert Fields take the lead in this matter.
Evan Chandler was irritated by the $350,000 insulting settlement amount, the incident became a big deal, and unfavorable media reports instantly overwhelming.
Feeling that the matter was out of control, MJ immediately regretted it. He recruited black defense lawyer Cochrane to replace Bottfields, and followed Motura's suggestion again, and hired a private investigator who wandered in the gray area. Antoni Pelicano of Italian descent.
The situation was good at the beginning, Anthony Pelicano made Evan Chandler almost ruined, but Evan Chandler suddenly obtained a powerful resource from an unknown source, and then upgraded the lawyer lineup, and signed the vulture agreement. Way, so that Feldman, the former president of the Los Angeles Bar Association, joined.
At this time, they still wanted to reconcile, and released the last reconciliation window here.
Daniel, the new president of Sony Columbia Records, joined the decision-making. He suggested that MJ settle quickly.
Motura and Aaron Brugman sang against him, and instead suggested that MJ's public image would be irreversibly damaged by reconciliation now, and suggested that the lawsuit should be fought to the end.
The David Geffen department also thinks they can continue to play, and they guarantee that MJ can trust Gil Garcetti.
But Branca, who is alone and alone, takes the opportunity to avenge David Geffen and others who marginalized him in the early years, making a big noise and making them take responsibility.
MJ temporarily excluded Branca, who was out of control, from the meeting, chose not to agree to a settlement, and continued to fight the lawsuit.
Everything was unexpected, and then Santa Barbara County District Attorney Tom Sneddon suddenly broke out halfway, and Gil Garcetti couldn't maintain a tacit understanding under the strong stealth of his colleagues, and the situation immediately collapsed.
At this time, everyone under MJ suggested that he continue to fight the civil and criminal lawsuits, but MJ himself was physically and mentally exhausted after persisting for a while. He ordered a civil settlement with the other party and concentrated on dealing with the criminal lawsuit. It was useless to persuade anyone.
Cochran was very unhappy, but completed the task professionally. After helping to resolve the criminal charges in August, he left immediately to concentrate on the Simpson case and may not cooperate with MJ in the future.
The King of Pop began to discuss crimes after his body recovered. At this time, he had other plans with the daughter of Elvis Presley, who was already secretly married. He had previously fired Bottfields who had dealt with bad behavior at the beginning. David Geffen and others also Not aware of the danger, they were all liquidated by MJ after announcing that they would find a way to enter the Sony Music copyright library. The Weigefen department may be detrimental to the merger of ATV and Sony Music Copyright Company, and it needs to be swept out both publicly and privately.
"If the civil lawsuit continues, our suggestion is fine, MJ can't insist on it himself. And who would have expected that the local district attorney in Neverland Ranch would treat him like a hater..."
David Geffen blamed him, "After being seen through by everyone, he wants to show his unrivaled power to the entire industry? It's unreasonable."
"Do you hate him?" Song Ya asked.
"Hatred is an emotion that will only torture you, don't fall into APLUS easily."
David Geffen sneered: "I'll watch the show from a distance first, but you have to be careful. Motura and Aaron Brugman have won his trust now."
