Chapter 1188: The Media Group Sets Sail

"The advanced Xianyang is the king, and the second is the ...... Xianyang"

Song Ya chatted with Alicia about Delay's case that night, and had a small meeting with Sloan and others, and returned to law school the next day to continue his studies, at the beginning of May, Delay still did not agree to the lure of the singer mutual aid foundation, and at the same time, Littman Media Headquarters, ACN 24-hour news station, ACE (Atlantis cable entertainment station, formerly A+CN) was finally officially listed after the completion of the reorganization and relocation work.

A large number of national flags of the United States were once again displayed in front of the two buildings, and the scale of this time was naturally much larger than the ceremony of the last A+ record, with a larger stage, a more formal viewing booth, more senior managers, journalists, celebrities, politicians and performers, Fergey, Mira, the Destiny True Girl Group, the military band and Chicago band specially invited from outside, all gave mat performances between speeches by Littman Media executives and politicians, and participated in the A+ Film Studio. How do I stop it all?' Jamie Fox, a black Hollywood actor, and Jones Stewart, a newly recruited late-night show anchor, also had an impromptu two-person talk show.

After an afternoon of showing up and communicating, people seamlessly entered the opposite Litman Media headquarters building to visit, and then went to the company's canteen to participate in the banquet hall temporarily converted into a banquet hall.

"Backward into Xianyang...... Support in the court! ”

There was still a little time to spare, and he hummed a song and picked up the microphone, "Then it will be, has Yeremov arrived?" ”

"He's been waiting for a long time."

"Well, bring him in."

Soon, Song Zecheng put Yeremov in the door.

"How's your contact with Polygram?" Song Ya asked.

After Bronfman Jr. angrily issued a gag order, he did not publicly comment on related topics, which was unnecessary, but the chaos that should have been added was not delayed, so that the corresponding A+ film studios began to contact PolyGram to inquire about their Polygram Pictures, and really began to form a negotiation team at a glance, putting on a posture of sincere purchasing.

"They have paid 2 billion meters, and PolyGram Pictures, in addition to the thousands of employees on the global film distribution network on paper, also has a huge film and television rights library, several European and American television networks, television stations, comics, publications, and videotape distributors...... It's messy, and it's not very successful. ”

Yeremov handed over the paper, "In addition to Anna and the King, they have several film projects that are also suspended, including Notting Hill, starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant. I only got so much information back from the first negotiation, I feel that PolyGram's sincerity is not high, the offer is too expensive, Universal should have put a lot of pressure on them, they don't dare to risk breaking up a big business for PolyGram Pictures and Universal, unless they get a very high premium from us, and the cost of betrayal is enough. ”

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

Billion? What about killing pigs, you don't want to cut the price in half, huh? What do you think, you don't want it in the first place.

"Then ...... next," Yeremov asked.

"Keep talking, bargaining, and be realistic."

In fact, it stands to reason that there are too many overlaps between Universal and Polygram in the global distribution system, and there is no need to retain some departments after the merger, many investment institutions and Hollywood companies are waiting for jobs, just like the last time Bronfman Jr. sold the United States TV Network cheaply, there will definitely be a lot of leaks flowing out of his fingers, if there is no accident, Song Ya feels that he will probably be similar to David Geffen and them at this time, first firmly support Bronfman Jr., and wait for the completion of the merger and acquisition. But who knows that the rich third generation suddenly targeted himself for no reason?

"The cost of negotiation is high."

A+ Film Studios has always been a very lean Hollywood production company, and Yeremov complained: "Accounting firms, forensic consultants, financial advisors, investigation firms, brokers...... In order to be more realistic, the company's expenses have increased dramatically recently, and those banks have started to contact me non-stop, chasing me in Hollywood, and calling me 24 hours a day. ”

"Hold on, Yeremov, hold on!"

Song Ya encouraged him, "You have to show some domineering and independence in Hollywood that matches your identity, it's inconvenient for me to speak now, so you have to stand up, at least help me spray those guys who are too jumpy, you are Jewish, what are you afraid of?" Learn from others, pick a few to help little Bronfman scold me back! ”

"I ......" Yeremov wiped his sweat.

"Don't me, me, I'm going to give you a sense of crisis." Song Ya couldn't get used to his cowardice, and immediately turned to threaten, "Do you know how much Daniel wants to get involved in the so-called acquisition of Polygram Pictures now?" Why don't I give the top six presidents the name of the CEO of A+ Pictures to help you? ”

"No, no, don't, boss, I'll try, please don't ......"

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

"Do you really know?"

"I know."

"Well, okay then, don't always keep a face, be happy, today is my big day." Song Ya was satisfied with his imperial technique, and put his arm around Yeremov's shoulders affectionately, and went to the banquet hall together.

β€œHey! Mr. Governor, Mrs. Flock. ”

As the only owner here, when he walked into the hall with steady steps, he instantly attracted the attention of the audience, and he was unaware of the attention of the distinguished guests, stretched out his hand from afar, and strode towards the governor and his wife with a spring breeze on his face, "McAvoyha, this place will depend on you in the future." Love Chicago? ”

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

Politicians also like anchors with strong news appeal, McAvoy, the former ABC news host, a white man in his early forties, a traditional media person, is extremely perverted in ability, integrity, desire to control and annual salary, has eyes above the top, and does not like to please the audience.

When he came to Littleman Media, he still had a firm grip on the newsroom of the new ACN and served as editor-in-chief.

Peter and Alicia 'ditched' today's glamorous CEO Sloane and talked to McAvoy earnestly, so you can imagine how much they value each other.

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

McAvoy was indeed very arrogant, and his attitude towards the new backstage boss was just like that, he raised his champagne and took a sip, "I still have a live broadcast mission." ”

It's a bit faceless, "uh......" Song Ya looked at his back, feeling that it would soon be his turn to feel Ovitz's troubles, "I heard that he doesn't like to socialize?" So he found himself under the stairs.

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

Peter laughed. Soon, they saw Sloan and Underwood, a husband and wife group, walking away from ACN's director, Charlie Skinner, and deputy director, Gordon.

The director of ACN is still the original, Charlie Skinner, a well-known Jewish media person, and Gordon, the deputy director of the station, both of whom are old guys with decades of experience in the circle, Gordon is also in charge of an evening in-depth special program, and many of the former A+CN African-American elite generals who are still interested in staying in the news industry have also been transferred, such as the former A+CN evening news hostess will join McAvoy's team, and he will partner with ACN evening news, and others have been added to the morning and noon news columns. McAvoy also runs a political commentary section after the evening news.

In terms of global news sites, in addition to A+CN's original South Africa station, ACN's strong point Middle East station, they have the best Middle East news reporter, who is also a former ABC female reporter Mackenzie McHale, and will open a Chinese station after Sloan leads the team to China.

ACN's former correspondent in the White House, a former ABC correspondent, briefly served as Foxnews' chief political correspondent, and later left due to a disagreement, and later left due to a disagreement with the woman, Stephanie continued to serve as ACN's chief political correspondent, correspondent to the White House.

Coupled with Jones Stewart, who is in charge of the night slot, a 35-year-old Jewish potential talk show anchor, ACN is at least a very strong, black-and-white news station on the books, except for McAvoy, who is a little erratic on the political spectrum and likes to take matters into account and is a little more conservative, most of the others are staunch liberals.

The ACE resources of the comprehensive entertainment station reorganized by the original A+CN are much worse, anyway, the black group that has been doing serious news for several years does not buy it, so Song Ya let them start to imitate the Morry Show with no lower limit and start to engage in entertainment to death, give full play to their independent initiative, how to earn subscribers.

"It's shining here."

Underwood's wife laughed.

"Because everything is new?" Song Ya joked, and Underwood did the same, there was no campaign pressure in the iron ticket area this year, and the couple was very relaxed, and everyone soon began to make fun of the gossip of the current commander.

"The more the elephant party clings to a piece of lace without evidence, the more the voters will hate them, and they will make big mistakes." Underwood said optimistically.

"Dying and throeping." Peter's evaluation.

"APLUS, COME HERE."

Sloane, 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 bought ACN, part of it was used for the American music website to continue burning, and about a third of the left, I have a new idea." ”

"A woman's desire to shop."

After asking Bronfman Jr. about the United States Television Network, he couldn't do it, and he made a commotion by retreating and then buying Latin TV stations, it seems that Sloan has a new goal, and Song Ya joked with her, "You have to buy and buy, and you have to spend all your money to count, right?" ”

"Don't interrupt."

The relationship between the two people who have been negative for countless times is countless times closer than what they show to the outside world, what they think and say in private, and they get along very comfortably, "Have you noticed?" The news of your speech at the American Music Forum has gone down again. Sloan asked.

"It's normal."

Song Ya shrugged, "I officially denied the incident in the bathroom in the East Hall, and there are no news points that attract the attention of the media." ”

"I summarized the lessons of our last PR war with Oprah, in BBS mode, your posts are getting further and lower, and people will be more and more lazy to read them, and the middle will be filled with a large number of meaningless messages from other users, and some negative remarks and even rumors will be deliberately inserted by the enemy, and finally it will 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 the top." Song Ya didn't think it was much trouble.

"Now there's a new model, called Web Log, you know?" Sloan asked.

"I know, it's about the same as those personal hypothetical private websites where they keep a diary." Of course Song Ya knew.

"Most people still don't have the technology and time, I'm going to buy a website that specializes in providing this kind of service, it's called Weblog, they seem to use an information aggregation technology RSS, Netscape, this technology can make people who follow you get your new article push in the first time? I don't know much about the specific technical aspects, but William Zhang, president of the American music website, is very respectful, our American music website has a large number of user resources, they have new technologies and new models, and cooperation is a win-win situation. ”

"You don't have to worry about being inundated when you post new posts in the future," Sloan said. ”

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

"Seriously! It's a reality, a lot of celebrity users of the Amerika music site go to the weblog, they have the same needs as you, and their fans will follow if we don't take action. Sloan slapped him in the arm.

"Ex-wife behavior."

"You're enough!"

The two were flirting, and Shakira approached suspiciously, hugging her boyfriend's arm.

"You're the CEO, and I'm just a humble chairman who can't even be controlled by the board."

Song Ya's face did not change, and he touched the wine glass with Sloan, "Take you to meet a few people, dear." Then take Shakira to socialize.

There was joy and peace here, Song Ya and Michelle and the others chatted a little and then found a place to enjoy the Latin motor, and McAvoy was already sitting in the brand new studio at this time, and the original ACN station logo had not changed, "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......"

"Viewers who have been following this station for a long time should know that I have always been reluctant to talk about the lace anecdotes about the Arkansas Commander and Miss Lewinsky......" In the political commentary column after the evening news, he began with this sentence, "but I want to remind all the people of the United States that the leader of the United States denied having a relationship with Miss Lewinsky in the previous Paula Jones case, and Lewinsky herself submitted written testimony to deny it, but her friend gave the recorded evidence to the prosecutor in the Whitewater case...... So now there's a question, if ...... I mean, if in the end the Commander is proven to have lied in court, then be aware that this is a very serious crime of perjury. ”

The mobile phone and landline ringing on the boss's desk quickly rang, "What's wrong?" Song Ya put Shakira next to the landline and took the phone with her hands free.

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

Underwood personally called and asked, "Where are you?" ”

"I'm in the office."

Song Ya soon met with the Underwoods, as well as the Michelles and other Donkey politicians, "Ovitz can't control him, and I can't, and my control over Littleman's media is just like that......"

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

"Gordon will speak for the Grand Chancellor, and Gordon's feature is behind McAvoy." Sloan came in just in time to replenish and turned on the TV.

"Arkansas disguised as white? Hehe, the ultra-conservative Denburton Rep. of the Elephant Party has been speaking very actively lately, and he is like a mad dog biting the Commander's support for the African-Americans, and he is very unhappy, because we voted for the Commander in '96......"

After sitting on the bench for a long time in the National Council for Colored People, Gordon returned to the spotlight and sneered at the camera, "That racist also frequently uses the Lewinsky case to attack the current president, as if he is some kind of moral model? Look! Look what this is!? ”

He held up a cardboard with a photograph on it, and Danburton was walking out of the house with a woman who was walking out of the house in an intimate manner, not his wife, "Then will our morality police explain his own affair?" I have more evidence than the prosecutor in the Whitewater case......"

Damn, forget that Gordon had been hell-bent on giving Danburton a fatal blow when he ran for re-election.

Song Ya held his forehead and peeked at Underwood from between his fingers, "I can't help it, I can't care about ......"
