"Charis? Charis? You okay? ”

"I'm fine!"

"Hahaha......" Song Ya pushed open the door, smiled and slipped away from Xue Linfen's eyes.

"You can hear it outside......" Xue Linfen muttered dissatisfiedly to his back.

EA has announced that it is postponing the release date of Genesis Online (UO) until next September, and the game's production company, Origin Systems, previously gave a demo at the second E3 show, claiming that UO would be a graphic ...... Uh, multiplayer online...... Role-playing games. And its other new PC games next year, such as John Madden NFL 98, Theme Hospital and other release plans will not be affected. ’

EA also said it had just completed a strategic investment to strengthen its partnerships with leading hardware vendors by injecting $10 million into graphics acceleration chip company 3DFX in exchange for a 10 percent stake in the company. Negotiations to acquire US GOLD, a British gaming company, continue, helping EA break into the football gaming market with US GOLD's long-standing relationship with FIFA......

went to the living room to see Hayden, and happened to meet him watching financial news, and the anchor knotted as soon as he encountered the game term, of course, Song Ya didn't care about this. Through EA's announcement, the value of 3DFX has finally been revealed to the world, and it will be even higher when Wall Street enters the market in the future......

To rush back to Mexico, he only had time to deal with some more records.

After a series of contacts between William Morris and Linda, he removed three A+ record chasers, including Universal Records, which would have been the closest.

This has to be said to be a very regrettable thing, he has a good personal relationship with Universal Music President Doug Morris, David Geffen, who is very influential internally, and Bronfman Jr., the big boss of Universal.

But......

Bronfman Jr. seems to have instructed Universal Pictures President Ron Meyer to participate in the negotiations, hoping to use the release of the Blade project next summer as a bargaining chip in exchange for a record deal.

This has caused Song Ya to worry all the time, according to his own character, if he really joins the global family, it is likely to be the same as when he was in Sony Columbia, and gradually stiffen all the old friendships, especially the little Bronfman, who has always been 'very loose', wants to talk about business this time.

It's better to keep a distance.

Coupled with the fact that Death Row Records also belongs to the Universal camp through its distributor, Interscope Records, 2PAC has just been hung up, and he really doesn't want to get into the center of this storm.

And there is a rumor......

"After Fujiby magazine calculated David Geffen's net worth at $1.9 billion on the rich list, a well-known reporter in Los Angeles immediately publicly questioned this figure, saying that according to his investigation, the actual value of David Geffen's art collection, which is the most important asset, is only one-fifth of what he claimed, and many of the famous paintings are of unknown origin, and may even be fakes, and he has some strong evidence."

Hayden reported: "This reporter was in a car accident a few days ago. ”

"No more?" Song Ya frowned.

"The police said it was an ordinary car accident, and the timing may be just a coincidence." Hayden replied.

"Hehe, I'd better stay away from this old friend with a lot of energy."

Because David Geffen wanted to sign A+ Records to Geffen Records, which was unanimously agreed by Bronfman Jr. and Doug Morris, Geffen Records still retained a stake after it was sold to Universal that year.

Geffen Records is a star-studded group with top rock bands such as Gun Flower, Eagles, and Nirvana.

David Geffen is currently running a dream factory, and most of the records are asset-light allocation, but art film collection is his core interest and the core battlefield.

He is good, he is not bad to himself, and he is still a leader who selflessly campaigns for same-sex rights, but everyone has another side that no one knows, and Song Ya doesn't want to be like MJ, and in the end he doesn't even have to be friends.

On the other hand, David Geffen now manages DreamWorks Records, which is naturally not considered, not to mention anything else, the distribution strength is too poor.

Finally, there is BMG Records, whose family's Alista Records has a singer who is a child star: Arthur the Kid. Since the beginning of this year, Arthur Kid's new single style has become more and more leaning on himself, and the character design can even be said to be completely copied, the young man looks very good, and his dancing skills are much better than himself, Song Ya doesn't want to sign over and fight with his own son.

WITH THE SAME SUSPICIONS AS UNIVERSAL, OLD FRIEND BABYFACE IS ONE OF THE PRODUCERS OF THE ARTHUR KID, AND ALISTA RECORDS ALSO OWNS HALF OF THE BAD BOY RECORDS OF THE BRAGGART DADDY.

In JIVE Records, another major label owned by BMG Records, Quincy Jones is in the ......

In this way, Song Ya feels that it is better to keep some distance, after all, distance produces beauty.

"Then that's all left with Polygram, EMI, and Warner."

Hayden's embarrassed finger count: "And Disney...... I agreed with Donovan and Linda that it would be too risky for Disney to join them if they didn't design a global record distribution system for A+. You know APLUS, the record industry is having a hard time right now, and Disney can't even support ABC's 24-hour news program, so they have little hope of spending a lot of money to enter the highly competitive record market. Coupled with the fact that this plan was first proposed by Ovitz, Disney Emperor Eisner opposed it no matter what he wanted to do, and this situation has been going on for some time. ”

"I know, I know."

Of course, Song Ya knows that he has never cut off contact with Roy Disney, "It's already October......," he sighed.

"Yes, in front of you, Warner is in the lead."

"Polygram is negotiating with Mercury Records, and Momoyo is Capitol Records and Viking North Rice, and they're basically two groups of people in the same group who don't deal with each other as the executives we had a feud with, so it's okay," Hayden said. ”

"Mercury Records is based in Nashville, Tennessee, where our friend David Bowie was previously signed to, with a focus on country, adult lyric and rock, but with plans to break into hip-hop. His family is the best label in the United States. ”

"Capitol Records has wanted to get Phigie for a long time, and of course the interest in you is very high. Virgin North ...... If you sign it, you'll be with MJ's sister Jenny Jackson, who asked you to sing before. ”

"Capitol Records and Viking North Rice are the main forces that used to empty Daniel in the position of president of EMI North Rice, right?" Song Ya remembered the past.

Daniel now runs his own small record label, signs a lot of unknown rock singers, and spends most of his time in a low-key manner presiding over the administration of the RIAA Disputed Copyright Committee.

Hayden replied.

"It's still the old condition, if you sign Baidai, then you still stay at their British headquarters, and Robert, who discriminated against and suppressed me, must leave."

"If you sign Polygram, then they have to make sure that Def Jam and the people behind it, Daniel's old enemies and me, can't interfere in the release of A+ Records," Song Ya instructed. That's my bottom line. ”

"I understand, you're going back to Mexico tomorrow?"

"Yes, the team of hundreds of people over there is all waiting for me."
