Chicago 1990

Text 1287 Chapter David Geffen in Action

"Hey, David, what are you up to?"

Song Ya was busy when calling, and David Geffen was picking up a call from Harvey Weinstein.

He was very upset when he heard Harvey’s triumphant and ridiculous tone, but now the situation is different. Harvey relied on the impeachment case before and after the impeachment case to contribute money to help fight the battle of public opinion and gained the absolute friendship of the commander. And myself... because I disliked the general leader’s betrayal of his promise to support same-sex groups, and deliberately gradually alienated it over the years. I never expected that the general leader after the impeachment case seemed to be more popular with the people, and the leader’s wife is expected to be after he resigns. Inherit his political influence.

In a misstep, Harvey, the fat pig trembles, but he can’t tear his face. It’s not about the gap between himself and his wealth. Hollywood and the Jewish people in Hollywood need a close communication bridge with the commander. After all, Harvey is his own. , Everyone can rest assured.

I knew...I shouldn't have been affected by the anger of the Brotherhood being betrayed. David Geffen secretly regretted, "Is something Harvey?" he asked impatiently.

"I heard you left Universal?" Harvey smelled it because of this.

"It's just doing a good business. I wasn't there before, so I'm talking about how to leave."

David Geffen can actually accept the transfer price of 600 million yuan. He is in urgent need of cash. As for the reason... he looked up at the dream manor in the distance.

"So that's it." Harvey said weirdly.

"Don't believe the rumors outside, there is no problem between me and Edgar Jr."

David Geffen knew that after the deal was finalized, the high-level Hollywood circles immediately spread rumors that he was swept out by the little Bronfman. To some extent, it was true. From then on, he completely lost his influence on the global department. Because DreamWorks has many foreign releases in the hands of Universal, and Universal Pictures itself is a DreamWorks shareholder, the relationship with the Little Bronfman has also changed from a cooperation to a unilateral restriction.

This is estimated to be the reason why the young Bronfman is still willing to spend 600 million cash to buy his own leave when the cash flow is not sufficient. As for the market value of Seagram Universal Group after the successful ipo, it will reach 50 billion. Lost business? Humph! He is dreaming!

It's better to leave Universal, that inexplicable neurosis!

"Haha, I can guess what you want to do with the little Bronfman money..." Harvey said on the phone.

"Oh?"

This guy is too airy... David Geffen laughed in his heart. In fact, everyone is willing to endure all the problems of this dead fat man because he is vain and shallow enough to see through it at a glance, "Please say."

"Because MJ's business has a problem, right?" Harvey asked.

I really guessed it, but David Geffen didn’t want to admit that he didn’t want to share this good deal with anyone. Sometimes, vultures don’t need to go with them, and the cash in his hand is enough. He just took 600 million. , "Why are you talking about mj? Harvey, have you drunk too much?"

"No, in broad daylight..."

"Don't die on a woman's belly."

"Hey, don't interrupt David, I know that mj has been short of money recently. Who do you think the rumor of his bankruptcy was promoted? It's me. So I think I am a little qualified to participate? Our previous cooperation was very pleasant. , Such as Lazarenko's time... didn't it?" Harvey entangled.

"It's not mj, don't think about it."

David Geffen was made more irritated by this guy, "We'd better keep a little distance in the near future. Your Shakespeare love history is sniping to save Private Ryan during the awards season. What you did...Public relations judges, public opinion hype No problem, ok, slander? You crossed Harvey, but Spielberg and I don't want to quarrel with you about such trivial matters and be jokes by outsiders."

"Spielberg is Spielberg, you are you, David, business is business, and how much money Spielberg is willing to give to you and Katzenberg? I know too well. He also knows Katzenberg, the three of you are not in the same dimension as your personalities and ambitions."

Harvey took the opportunity to provoke.

"Okay, okay, I don't have much time to chat with you."

I was a bit stabbed. As one of the Big Three of DreamWorks, not long after the big business started, I had accumulated a lot of conflicts with Spielberg and Katzenberg. Those two were a live-action commercial film and an animated film for the company. When it comes to money, the music affairs I am in charge of have some achievements, but most of them are made by selling their original soundtracks... Spielberg and Katzenberg have long criticized this.

One of the reasons for selling the shares to Universal this time was that Ron Meyer, the president of Universal Pictures, had lobbied the two guys in private, causing them to worry that Universal would suppress the release of DreamWorks, so they worked together to persuade them to submit.

At the strategic level, there are also big differences between the three. Katzenberg has the least net worth but the most ambition. He is determined to build DreamWorks into the eighth largest film company, hoping to take the most dangerous and promising road.

But that's because Katzenberg was driven out of Disney by Eisner and there was no way out. He had only DreamWorks.

And Spielberg and himself have a back road. For example, Spielberg has Amperin Entertainment, which is already a strong second-tier company in Hollywood, but he has not completely abandoned the courage of that big stall of strong men to break their wrists. I am a little less burdened than him, but Geffin Pictures, which was planning to close Zhang, has just accidentally won the distribution rights of several sequels of a+ film studios under aplus, and sold them in cooperation with Warner...

The two are rich in net worth, and the interests involved in the business are complicated. How can they be as decisive as Katzenberg.

In addition, Spielberg is devoted to playing film and television art, and he is more utilitarian and more inclined to make quick money. When he used to be friends, he could understand each other, and he didn't even mind occasionally making innocent jokes and mocking each other, but After starting the company in partnership, everything was different. Spielberg and Katzenberg stood together at this time, and they did not agree to allow DreamWorks to set foot in other investment fields.

"Don't hang on David, hehe..."

Unexpectedly, Harvey was in a determined posture, "Seriously, I can help this time. I know that mj must be short of money. I also know that the aplus boy has never stopped trying to get his mj back. How about the copyright of the song? You wouldn’t like me to work with him and compete with you, right?"

This is a threat, "Then go to aplus." Ha ha, David Geffen laughed instead. Harvey may really know a lot of information, but he still lacks understanding of mj's character. Mj is absolutely not. Will sell the copyright of aplus songs, and it is even impossible for aplus to repurchase it by itself. I have absolute confidence in this.

"Don't be like this David, everyone is their own, and aplus is much more distant..." Harvey said again.

This guy really wants something bad and it’s not good, David Geffen thought for a while, forget it, throw some bones to buy it, "Okay, okay, take you one, and wait for my news when that time comes."

"Ok! Thanks to Ha David."

Harvey Weinstein was finally happy.

"Mr. Geffen, please, mj is waiting for you."

The car drove all the way from the huge dream manor to the door of the villa, and the new lawyer hired by mj was already waiting down the steps.

Back then, he and MJ teamed up to squeeze out the CEO of Sony Columbia Records Yetnikov in the cbs era, as well as the former Iron Triangle, MJ’s most trusted lawyer, Blanca, and arranged a net to surround MJ. Agent Sandig Lun, lawyers Lee Phillips, Botfields, and Aaron Brugman, and used this to intervene in a lot of mj business and made a lot of money.

After the 1992 case broke out, mj was dissatisfied with Botfields’ response and handed over the leadership of the case to the black barrister Cochrane. Later, because he again arbitrarily agreed to the civil case settlement, Cochrane also frustrated away from him. go with.

Later, MJ swept Sandy Glen and Lee Phillips out again, and the two guys went to Mariah Carey, because they had an interest in aplus, I didn't look for them this time.

Mj played with beautiful hands. Except for Aaron Grubman, the president of Sony Columbia, Motula, it is equivalent to sweeping away all his influence indirectly, and at the same time, he decoupled by paying the "breakup fee". Most of his own business.

Aaron Grubman, who changed the court midway, failed to hold on to the end. After aplus was shot, MJ fired him under pressure from the black community, and brought back his already marginalized old partner, the lawyer Blanca.

"Thank you."

Except for Blanca, who has a bad relationship with him, the lawyer team around MJ is now a stranger. It is not easy to eat this bite of meat when he has a cash flow problem. David Geffen cleaned up his mood and walked into the villa.

The king of pop was surprisingly watching Jordan’s retired star game video. After David Geffen entered the goal, he just saw aplus hit the basket with the ball. In reality, he felt very strong, but he looked shapely against a group of professional players. The kid took an ugly crab step and jumped high for a dunk with both hands. Jordan, Barkley and Rodman became the background board.

"David..."

The mj in pajamas was horribly thin, the curtains in the room were closed, the light was dark and cold, he used the usual soft and beautiful voice, speaking slowly and with a little envy, watching the TV run wildly to celebrate. aplus sighed: "Look, it's nice to be young."

"Yes."

David Geffen agreed, just at this time aplus rushed to the broadcast station again, pouted and kissed the camera, "hoho..." This scene made him and mj laugh at the same time.

"I need your help, David, think about it now, the time we worked together was really good."

mj turned off the TV, "Sorry, I know I hurt our friendship, and there are some things that I can't do on my own..."

His apology is sincere but also a bit hypocritical. David Geffen knows that the king of fashion cannot be said to be unwise in business, but it is not enough to stay in the palace for a long time like this...

"I found out that I still need your help, okay?" Mj asked weakly.

He is a ruthless person, and of course he doesn't make any positive suggestions, "It's okay, I didn't take it to heart... Well, what's the reason for this time? As long as I can help you, I will take action." Also hypocritical.

"This is Mr. Geffen..."

mj motioned to his lawyer, and the other party began to introduce: "We and Sony Music Rights..."

The vulture must be extremely powerful. In fact, David Geffen has done his intelligence work a long time ago. After all, his business with MJ still has a few broken edges and corners. This is his unique advantage.

After merging the copyright library of Sony Music and Sony Music, when the new song copyright is transferred to this copyright library by Sony Columbia Records, if mj wants to maintain a 50% share ratio, it must pay the same purchase fee as Sony. I could afford to pay at the beginning, and the problem did not break out.

But last year, with Universal’s acquisition of PolyGram, the UU reading www.uukanshu.com record market suffered a major earthquake, and Sony copyright also took the opportunity to launch a copyright library acquisition. Maybe Sony has set up an ambush here for mj from the beginning, although mj is The top-level money printing machine, but the financial resources have finally begun to fail to keep up.

"So Sony is willing to lend you money, and then let you use the money to keep the shareholding ratio?" David Geffen asked.

"Yes, do you think this is good?" mj asked.

This is a test. David Geffen knows that he can't answer wrongly: "Are there any conditions attached? If not, it looks good. Wait for your new album and new tour to make money, right?"

"Of course they do. They have to give priority to repurchase rights, in the event that I can't maintain this model." mj replied.

"That's not so good? If you go bankrupt, I mean, if you go bankrupt, wouldn't they take the opportunity to repurchase at a lower price? You know now that there are fewer and fewer major record companies, and the tacit understanding between the Big Five is getting deeper and deeper..." David Geffen said.

"Yes...so I'm hesitating..." The answer is correct? mj nodded.

"Are there other options?" David Geffen asked.

"I don't have a clue, so I want to take some other business first, but it needs to be absolutely confidential. I hate being rumored to be bankrupt..." mj said in a depressed mood: "Others are okay, but the tabloid rumors that I went bankrupt because of the need Paying huge sums of money to those children, I can't stand it..."

coming! David Geffen was ecstatic and relaxed? It would be great to be able to free up as soon as possible, and then find a way to avenge the rich three generations! "No problem, trivial matter, don't always entangle with the 1992 case Michael. I happen to have cash in hand. Let the lawyers talk about the rest."

"That's great...thank you David."
