Chicago 1990

On the 28th, in Paris, Song Ya woke up naturally with trembling eyelids.

"SHXT!"

It was three o'clock in the afternoon, "Why don't you call me?"

"Linda told us not to wake you." Shakira walked into the bedroom in response, "Really, I didn't go to bed until seven in the morning."

"It's okay to stay up late occasionally."

Song Ya got up and rushed into the bathroom, "I can't make it to the court soon, right?"

"The round of 16 between Brazil and Chile didn't start until 8 pm," Shakira replied.

"Oh……"

No need to worry, he slowed down his teeth after hearing the words.

Last night and Linda and the others followed the latest developments of the Polly Gold case overnight. The more definite information is that the Bronfman family is really playing this time. Yesterday, Little Bronfman and Polygold did not sign any intentional documents. It is not a share swap merger, but Seagram Universal Group invested 11.18 billion to acquire Polygram, including all assets such as records, film companies, fixed assets, copyright libraries, and media. Polygram’s shares have been suspended on the London Stock Exchange and have begun the delisting process. It is estimated that the time when it will obtain the relevant country’s license and complete all the acceptance work will be January 1, 1999.

In other words, PolyGram is already owned by Seagram Global Group, and it is a transitional period from now to January 1st next year.

Little Bronfman was a bit of a blitzkrieg this time. Not only he, Warner and the other three major record companies did not react. In response to the media's allegations, they all had to wait for the company to confirm. It is not convenient to express opinions now...

"I was told to return to the United States for a meeting."

Song Ya packed up her personal hygiene and went out. Linda, who stayed up with her all night, was about to leave. "The merger of the record businesses of the two companies should be the fastest and smoothest, depending on the changes in the senior management."

The merger will not have any impact on the labels of the record company, but the head office can only have one set of leadership. It depends on the young Bronfman who stays or not. Judging from this perspective, let him spare his energy to deal with personal grievances. In the early days, the record industry alone had a lot of affairs that he needed to handle himself.

There is still nearly half a year.

"Okay, good luck."

Song Ya hugged her, "Also stay vigilant." Then he sent it out in person.

"I will."

Before Linda left, she left some latest media reports.

‘Universal Polaroid Gold has joined forces to set sail for the flagship of the world’s largest record company. ’

‘The long and glorious history is about to pass away? After the six major changes, the source revealed that Seagram Universal Group tends to use the simple name of Universal Music, and it is likely to abandon the Polygram trademark. ’

'Polygram Records joined Universal Music to join the Duet Alliance, and three world major manufacturers from Sony Columbia Records will join forces to enter the field of online legal music sales. It will be blessed by three super music copyright libraries with more than half of the market share. Universal and Sony earlier The full music website acquired by Columbia Records is expected to be built into the world's largest online legitimate music website. ’

'Universal Pictures will also simultaneously take over Polaroid Pictures. In the acquisition with a total value of 11.8 billion, the industry estimates that Polykin Pictures will be worth about $1.2 to 1.4 billion in this transaction. about. ’

'Segram Universal Group and Polygram established a temporary Polygram Universal Company, responsible for the management, clarification, and disposal of business mergers between the two parties except the record and film industries. The original branch of Polygram Most of the assets have a very complicated ownership relationship... The related work will be completed before January 1st next year. ’

'Mr. Edgar Bronfman Jr., Chairman of Seagram Universal Group, mentioned the words'anti-piracy' and'Digital Millennium Act' several times in yesterday's speech. The industry judges that it will be in the US Digital Millennium Act amendment in the second half of the year. Make efforts to urge the U.S. government to formulate a new copyright regulation that is very conducive to the traditional recording and film industry, and severely crack down on the growing trend of digital piracy on the Internet. ’

‘Little Bronfman did not mention the issue of layoffs, and after the press conference, he also declined questions from reporters of this newspaper. ’

‘As for the question of whether Seagram Universal will be listed as a whole in the future, Bronfman Jr. answered that everything is possible. ’

"The leaders of the original Polygram record labels including DefJam, Motown, DG, AandM, Mercury Records, etc. have all expressed their firm support for this merger and are looking forward to joining the global family..."

Song Ya read the newspaper while cushioning his stomach, "Huh? Where's Hayden?" He didn't see his agent after eating.

"in."

Said Hayden Hayden had arrived, "Please come in, Mr. Linton." With a smile, he brought in Linton, the president of Disney Copyright, and the CEO of Bowei Pictures.

"Oh oh oh oh oh!"

Linton entered the door full of energy and shouted, "Hahaha! Good afternoon ALUS, stupid pig!"

"Silly donkey!"

The two parties greeted each other in French. Disney is killing and killing in this summer file. Peerless Heavenly Tribulation, The Horse Whisperer, and Mulan are all good at the box office. The other one is almost six days and seven nights, but it is enough for Linton and Mr. CEO to walk with the wind. "Wow, ALUS, your global popularity is no worse than Xiaoli, especially those countries where football is crazy... We walked around, and street shops in countless countries are playing your cup of life."

You don’t mention the little plum when you meet, right? "Why did you come to France?" Song Ya asked.

"Run Hua Mulan's publicity campaign here, let's take a look at you by the way."

Linton took one from the thick newspaper on the dining table and exchanged clear glances with the CEO of Bowei, "You are both small and big in the world. This business is a global sensation."

What our global...

"Haha, Seagram Universal Group? How come this is not small and big, right?" Song Ya asked with a sneer.

"On the outside of the circle, I only know that Universal Music has swallowed Polygram Records. After all, Polygram Records are larger in scale and have a longer history." Linton replied.

"What's the matter with you?" Song Ya didn't want to gossip with this big mouth, "I'm going to go to the stadium to perform soon."

"Old Larry is sick. It's really not the time. Do you have time to go back to Hollywood to edit the girl next door?" Bowei CEO asked: "Maybe we can catch up with the summer vacation."

"I have no time."

The girl next door has closed the mirror, and Xiao Lizi only spent 21 days on the crew before and after the rest day. The director Larry has been sick for many years. Maybe it was due to rushing to work that caused too much fatigue. He led the team in June. After filming the follow-up scenes, he was admitted to the hospital.

Although the World Cup group stage on my own side has ended, the round of 16 knockout rounds started immediately. There will be no gaps in one day. There will be a few more days before the beginning of July, but an appointment has been made to sign with Mercedes-Benz in Germany, and then immediately rushed. Back to France to perform for the quarterfinals.

"How come after the World Cup, can you?" he asked.

The time between the quarter-finals to the semi-finals and the semi-finals to the finals is not generous. Even if he can afford to fly from France to Los Angeles across the sea, he can’t spare much working time. Besides, he has some film appreciation skills now. The editing of the girl's original film is not so good, at least it is far worse than the original film of Cat and Mouse.

"That's..." Linton really doesn't know when the World Cup will end.

"July 12th." Song Ya replied.

"No, it's too late. After ALUS has been edited, we will have to print out the copy... or keep the original plan and let the natural couple get on top." Bowei CEO said.

"Summer vacation." Linton made his last effort.

"I can't breach FIFA, I've insisted on it till now." Song Ya spread his hands.

"Well, will you come to Mulan's Paris premiere tomorrow night?"

"Tomorrow I will be in another city."

"Animated film adapted from the historical story of China." Linton seduced, "The French like this tune very much."

"Is the premiere at night?" Song Ya asked.

"of course."

There was no way to go. Song Ya waved his hands during the elimination phase at night.

Linton and Bowei CEOs found nothing and left disappointed.

Song Ya also cleared up his mood. He couldn't intervene in the matter on the Universal side anyway. When the time came, he led the team and went to Brazil and Chile.

After staying in France for almost a month, his life pace is very simple now. In addition to shooting endorsement ads and business entertainment, he spends most of his time traveling between cities in France to perform, and then stay in the hotel with Shakira After the two-person world, after signing the contract, the street will not go shopping.

Life became more and more boring and boring. He missed the forest. Even if there was no purchase of Polygram by Universal, he would often droop as if he was not interested in anything.

"Today you have to be right."

As football matches become more fierce and confrontational, according to investigations by William Morris and Global, fans around the world are paying more and more attention to the stadium. In the game itself, the popularity of the Cup of Life and Weareone is decreasing. .

In addition, there is no stage and well-prepared audio equipment for the live performance, and the two songs are also tired. If it weren't for a grand performance hanging in the closing ceremony, Song Ya, Shakira and Gloria would have been out of motivation.

Not to mention the passion for acting now.

"OK." Shakira and Gloria passed his stroke proposal.

Gloria may even regret it a bit. She didn't fully achieve the goal of becoming popular when she participated in the process. The most exposure rate has risen sharply. After all, she is old, and she is on the same stage with the young and hot Shakira whose waist is shaking like a motor. Dancing together, is it a good thing? Anyway, the Latin media are hyping what the old and new Latin divas have completed the handover ceremony.

"Wow wow! Ahhhhhhhh..."

Before the game, Song Ya opened his mouth in the middle of the stadium to deal with things, most of the time guiding the fans to wave with him.

The fans didn't know him, and followed him excitedly to swing their hands, line up people, and have a great time.

"Ok."

A few minutes later, when the work was over, he and Shakira and Gloria stopped working and yawned as soon as they entered the passage and left the camera to follow.

"ALUS."

"Sloan? What?"

Hayden brought the phone.

"Is it convenient to talk?" Sloan asked.

"Wait a minute. You are in China, right?"

Song Ya thought she was going to talk about the joint venture television station, "How is the negotiation going?"

"It's very smooth. Hua Guo is very active here, more active than I thought." Sloan Announced: "Maybe the progress will be much faster, I have confidence."

"is it?"

Song Ya frowned, different from what he and Song Ze had dealt with, "That's good." He didn't show his expression.

"But what I want to say is another thing."

Sloan said: "Have the people at Hermes broke the gossip about you buying a bag?"

"No, what's the matter?" At present, the situation is calm, UU reads www.uukanshu.com. "However, the animal protection organization and the topic over there have to continue to do, I don't want to get caught in the end."

"Very good progress, ALUS." Sloan praised, "You now have the mentality of a qualified tycoon, and that is to do it early."

"Ha... uh, are you suggesting something?" Song Ya smiled complacently but noticed that Sloan's tone was not right.

"Think about the end of the reporter who questioned the David Geffen art collection. Some actions...it will be too late to do it when the matter is about to come." Sloan hung up.

Song Ya was silent.

He didn't say a word until he got in the car and returned to the hotel.

"Be happier, all day long." Shakira hugged him and shook her arms. "It's not the end of the world."

"Just want something." He casually sat the Latin **** his lap.

Sloan is suggesting that Dile, the young Bronfman has taken Poly Gold, and his people have already targeted Dile. As the former president of the American music website, Dile is valuable in online music piracy cases. , Such as appearing in court to testify or speaking to the media, throwing dirty water on yourself...

Start early... Sloan is 100% right.

Just like the reporter who questioned David Geffen's art collection, suddenly suffered a car accident before the release of the article...

There is still a window of time. If you wait until the young Bronfman turns his attention back, Dile is bought, and the news bursts to make him return to the media spotlight, it is indeed too late.

but……

After all, he is not a triad. He hesitates every time he makes such a life and death decision. He can't make up his mind for a while.

"Because of me these few days..." The girl in her arms thought too much, and slid her body actively.

Song Ya sighed slightly, picked up the newspaper on the table and continued reading.
