China Entertainment 2000

Edgar Miles Bronfman Jr., Edgar Miles Bronfman Jr.

Male, born on May 16, 1955. The Bronfman in his surname represents a serious wealthy family background.

Of course, this person is somewhat abstract compared to his origin. Not to mention the various failures in the transformation of the family company he owns, the core business has also been divided up by others——

In 2000, Edgar Bronfman Jr., who wanted to completely enter the entertainment industry, relied on his extraordinary money making ability and family connections to successfully acquire shares of Universal through the family business Seagram he controlled. He himself also became the CEO of Universal Group.

I thought I could start to show off my talents here, but in the end, little Edgar Bronfman found himself in a trap——

As the CEO, he is a complete mascot. He can almost be said to be unable to interfere in Universal's most important entertainment business. His family business, Seagram, also spent too much energy on Universal's wrangling. In the end, it had to transfer the most important business to Universal. The core beverage division was sold to two former competitors.

At this point, he and the family behind him lost control of Seagram.

This wealthy kid who thought he had understood the rules of the entertainment industry finally realized that he was still too naive.

There are too many twists and turns here. Even if he worked as a film producer, theater producer and even a songwriter in order to enter the entertainment industry, it was still not enough.

After a year of hard work, not only did Universal's entertainment industry fail to gain, but its own Seagram company was divided up.

In 2000, he took office at Universal with great success, but in 2001 he resigned in despair.

This made little Edgar Bronfman angry.

The failure of Universal also made Edgar Bronfman Jr. re-examine his entertainment industry strategy, and turned his attention to Time Warner, which is as famous as Universal.

In other words, this time he learned the lesson and no longer had such a big appetite. Instead, he focused exclusively on Warner Records, a subsidiary of Time Warner.

In 2000, Time Warner acquired AOL, the world's largest Internet service provider. It was thought to be a win-win deal, but no one expected that it would become a huge mountain that would bring down Time Warner.

Various unclear and chaotic interest relationships have plunged the entire Time Warner into long-term internal friction and losses.

At the end of 2002, Time Warner, which finally could no longer maintain its superficial glory, was forced by various pressures and began to consider whether to sell some cash cows that could still be sold at a reasonable price to replenish its blood.

Edgar Bronfman Jr. keenly sensed this opportunity and began to contact Time Warner as a consortium investor, aiming directly at Warner Records.

Zhou Jianhui's faction within Warner Records is, in a practical sense, the faction that does not accept the acquisition.

This is why he said that he was not suitable to meet this person.

But he was finally persuaded, all because of those words——

"Don't you want to expand your voice?"

This sentence made Zhou Jianhui think of the unpleasant incident of coming to the United States to promote Zhou Yi, only to encounter internal strife again.

Too.

How can you possibly have a good career with this group of insects!

The next day, Zhou Jianhui "ran into" little Edgar Bronfman in a golf club who came to relax - tall, thin and elegant in a suit and leather shoes, and wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

It looks quite elegant.

After the huge golf course was cleared, only Zhou Jianhui and Edgar Bronfman were left walking slowly with clubs.

One is a suffocating person who is still implicated in Warner's infighting even if he has made achievements;

One is an aggrieved person who failed to achieve even half a cent, but instead was educated by the American entertainment industry.

The two of them have quite a lot in common when it comes to their careers.

"I heard that you are traveling here and there for Spike's Grammy trip. I happen to know some people. I can introduce them to you when the time comes."

After meeting, Edgar Bronfman, who called himself brothers and never mentioned Warner Records, smiled and waved: "To be honest, I am really a Spike fan. You may not believe it, but I am very interested in the Asian music market. Really understanding.

"I wrote Celine Dion's "To Love You More" that topped the singles chart in Japan under a pseudonym. This single was first released in Japan on October 21, 1995 and became an instant hit. It was only in Japan. It sold more than 1.5 million copies.

"So I admire your plan for Spike, and even more admire Spike's capture of the Japanese market, and admire his talent..."

…………………………

"Stop praising, stop praising. If you continue to praise others, you will soon lose your ability."

At the Yehai Bar, Sun Yanzi, who was obviously a little tipsy, couldn't bear the cheers of the fans and went up to perform for a while. As soon as he sat down, he was showered with compliments - grinning straight from ear to ear.

Even the tipsy Elva Hsiao and Zhang Shaohan went up and sang wildly under the cheers of fans.

Just the scene of this trio singing shoulder to shoulder is far more lively than the previous Secondhand Rose.

This is the benefit that Ye Hai can have.

You know, although these three people have been on the same stage before, they have never sung together.

The young reporters who often lurked in Yehai Bar pressed the shutter quickly. The proprietress Zhuo Xiaoyan wanted to stop, but Zhou Yi smiled and stretched out her hand to stop them - "No need, let them spread the heat."

"?"

"The song that the three of them sang together happened to be coming out next, so it was just a warm-up."

Zhou Yi was biting the straw, which made Zhuo Xiaoyan's face suddenly become strange: "You kid, you want to use others as free labor for free...?"

"That said, if they take photos, they will get bonuses, right? The boss will pay you, so how can it be considered free labor?"

Zhou Yi waved his hand nonchalantly: "Jie Lun and I won't get together, otherwise the heat will be dispersed by then."

"You are really black-hearted."

"Damn, I'm just here to increase the number of customers in your bar, okay? Why are you so ungrateful?"

"What's wrong with you? Why don't you tell me which of my resident singers are worth investing in?"

"..."

Regarding Zhuo Xiaoyan's behavior of a well-fed man not knowing that a hungry man is hungry, Zhou Yi, who was speechless, could only raise his middle finger to her: "That second-hand rose is fine, let's go."

At this moment, Liang Long, the lead singer of Second Hand Rose, was looking at the group of people in the bar who were caught up in the carnival, with a slightly confused look on his face.

He didn't know if he could hold on.

He can't even beat the three pop music singers in the bar. This kind of rock music is really useless.

That night, young people in the bar who saw this rare scene vented their joy on major networks——

No one took it seriously at first, until various witnesses and physical evidence appeared.

The next day, the weekend.

After a night of fermentation, the Internet was completely ignited by news reports from several entertainment newspapers in the imperial capital——

"The Strongest Chinese Girl Group?" ! 》

"Suspected of job hopping?" Elva Hsiao, Zhang Shaohan and Sun Yanzi sang and danced to celebrate? ! 》

"..."

As the initiator of all this, Zhou Yi, who got up after a good sleep, had just raised a smile when he received a cross-ocean call from Zhou Jianhui——

"Ayi, are you interested in Warner Records?"

The interests are all tied together, so Zhou Jianhui's words are naturally very straight to the point.
