"Is it difficult?" Chen Xin put down the documents he was reviewing in the presidential suite of the Hilton Hotel, frowning as he watched Yang Dongxu come in.
This time I came to the United States in a hurry and took her with me. She naturally knew what Yang Dongxu had come to deal with. But after following Yang Dongxu for so long, this was the first time I saw him frowning like this.
"The other party is playing hooligan, and there is no good solution for the time being." Yang Dongxu said helplessly.
If you release a record, I will discredit your artist, and at the same time, widespread piracy will prevent you from making money. If you dare to use this trick, you will be sued and bankrupted. When there is an official endorsement behind these gangsters, Yang Dongxu really has no good way to deal with them.
"What about the Kennedy family? Can't they solve it too?"
"Of course they can help solve it, but the effect won't be very good." Yang Dongxu shook his head.
In fact, when he first learned that the other party was acting like a hooligan, Yang Dongxu thought about solving this problem from a political level. But after thinking about it carefully, this method is not very reliable.
First of all, the Kennedy family can only guarantee that Heiner Records will not suffer too much loss in lawsuits, but it cannot stop the other party from continuing to play rogue. Because if something big is revealed, the other party can throw in a few minions to take the blame.
There are basically plutocrats behind all the major record giants, and it is basically impossible to catch the real owner. And it's useless to deal with a few minions.
Therefore, we can only blame the uneven development of Heiner Records. Yang Dongxu initially wanted to copy what Heiner did in China and directly open the market with good works.
But he ignored that the United States is not China. In China, he can send all those who slander and pirate his records to prison. But here in the United States, the Kennedy family obviously cannot do this, and when they go to court in the United States, there are many judicial procedures that are enough to make you doubt your life.
Therefore, there is no healthy production line, no offline sales channels, and no mainstream media that can influence public opinion. There are too many weaknesses for the opponent to attack. At this time, even if you bring out all the 76ers' dedicated media and Yiting Technology's online news, you can't stop the big newspapers and tabloids in their hands from attacking you.
"What should we do now?" Chen Xin asked. Although she was in charge of many investment projects in the United States, these investments basically had nothing to do with records.
"Jos's advice is to stay in a stalemate for now. After all, records are not Haina's main income. At present, Haina's main income comes from investment in variety shows and movies.
In terms of variety shows, we currently have an absolute advantage, so there is no big problem for the time being. Now we are trying to find ways to make up for the shortcomings in film, shoot some big productions that can sell well as soon as possible, and build up the Heiner Films brand. In order to prevent the other party from eating up the Haina record industry, it will start to open its mouth to the Haina film industry. "
It can be said that Heiner's record industry in the United States is only making a small improvement at present. I picked up a few good and potential artists through the talent show, and Yang Dongxu helped me select songs, so I quickly made some progress in the American music market.
However, Yang Dongxu’s main target was Yiting Technology before. Currently, Yiting Technology is undoubtedly successful. As for the Hainer Records Department, there is no rush because those potential singers still need time to grow.
But who would have thought that the other party would take action so quickly. Before these artists had grown up and Heiner Records was only making a small improvement, they took action directly.
.......
The most indispensable thing in Hollywood is the various film industry and opening ceremonies, and various dinner parties in the evening are also star-studded. In addition, it is backed by Los Angeles, the second largest city in the United States in GDP, where various business celebrities gather.
This makes some events and dinners more lively. Celebrities like to rely on business tycoons. Some business tycoons also like celebrities because many celebrities like to invest.
Plus countless handsome men and beauties who want to be famous but are not yet famous. As long as the banquet is a little more upscale, one car after another will rush to the place where the banquet is held, trying to get in with their heads sharpened.
Because if you have a romantic relationship with that wealthy businessman, you may be able to bring capital to join the group. Even if the wealthy businessman puts on his pants and refuses to recognize anyone in the end, he can still get a considerable fee.
If something can happen with a certain celebrity, then of course, let alone just saying a few words to the tabloids will get a lot of attention. If you are lucky enough to get pregnant, the custody lawsuit can make a lot of money.
So as long as you feel a little bit pretty, even if you don't have the money to borrow money, you still have to buy a dress to attend such a banquet. Even sacrificing one's life to enter such a banquet is not unusual. Examples abound in Hollywood of sleeping with entire crews to get televised roles.
In short, as an ordinary person, I am not blessed by the god of luck. If you still want to get something beyond your status, you have to pay a corresponding price. Everyone in Hollywood can see this clearly.
Therefore, apart from the fact that it cannot be exposed in the spotlight, the "city play" that is chaotic beyond ordinary people's imagination in other aspects is not a patent of China.
"Hi, Joss, I heard that you have two more movies released in the first half of the year. They must be big hits again, right? Are there any good movies in the future that you can take me into?"
"Yes, but not every movie makes money, and now many movie makers come to me for investment. They only want the news that I will invest, but they don't let people actually invest, which makes my lawyer very annoyed.
Because many people have no intention of investing in their trashy movies, I am very interested in promoting them to the outside world. "Jos raised the wine glass in his hand.
Compared to the usual old-fashioned British man wearing a woolen coat and a black hat, he now looked like a successful businessman with a smile on his face. Whether it's with celebrities here in Los Angeles or with big stars, I can chat with them.
Celebrities are interested in his ability to make money, and celebrities are naturally interested in the movies he invests in, as well as the good variety shows in Hainer's hands. As for the recent difficulties of Heiner Records, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention it at all.
"Hello, long time no see, Mayor Bieber. I heard that you are planning to run for Congress. I wish you success in advance." Joss, holding a goblet, came to Bieber, who was surrounded by some presidents and CEOs of the film company and was chatting and laughing. .
"I'd like to lend you good luck, Mr. Joes. I also wish you good luck in the movie. Uncle smiled and raised his glass to signal.
"I hope so too, but I also hope that Heiner's own big movie can be released as soon as possible." Joss said with a smile.
Bieber's eyes fluctuated a little, "Yes, Joss, as long as you keep working hard."
"Yes, Mayor Bieber's hard work will always pay off. By the way, I heard that someone in Hollywood invited Mr. Governor to film "Terminator 4". Is this news true? I am very optimistic about this movie." Joss said.
"There is this rumor, maybe it is true. After all, federal law does not stipulate that the governor cannot make movies, right?" Bieber said with a smile.
The bosses of other film companies nearby also had smiles on their faces and didn't feel any surprise. However, there has been constant news about when Terminator 4 will be filmed, but the project has not been approved yet.
If it were to be filmed, Schwarzenegger, who was a superstar before and now has the aura of the governor, would definitely be invited. But now that the governor is a little older, I don’t know if he can still be the protagonist. But even if it's just a casual role, it's still a good publicity stunt, and the film company filming Terminator 4 will definitely not let this go.
"That's right, there is no such prohibition under federal law. If Mr. Governor really participates in the show, I will definitely contribute a movie ticket. This is the best support for my friend." Jos said with a smile.
Bieber, who was just chatting casually, paused for a moment, and the way others looked at Joss also changed. After all, those who can be in this circle are all human beings, and the bones of fools have been swallowed long ago. Everyone understands the underlying meaning of Jos's words, not to mention the word 'friend' is so straightforward. .
"Then your friend is too stingy. Just contribute one movie ticket. I will contribute two to watch with my wife. She is a fan of Mr. Governor." Bieber said with a smile.
"How can true friends be measured by money? But I also want to go home and ask, maybe my son and daughter are also fans of Mr. Governor, so I can buy three movie tickets." Jos said.
Everyone nearby laughed, even though it wasn't a very funny joke. But while laughing, everyone's eyes changed again when they looked at Joss. They were shocked, confused, and doubtful.
Joss naturally felt the change in his eyes, and without saying anything more, he raised his glass to signal and left. What I want to express has been expressed. What Bieber chooses in the end depends on him.
Even if Bieber had doubts in his heart, he had never heard of any relationship between Jose and the governor. Not to mention Hainer, the person standing behind this is China Capital.
But he didn't suffer any loss if he found time to test it more deeply. If you can really get on the governor's line, everything about your subsequent candidacy will be wonderful.
When Jos attended the dinner to release information to Bieber, Yang Dongxu was not idle either. However, what he was doing was not helping Bieber get in touch with the governor. Instead, he was holding detailed analysis and market reports on oil pipelines.
"20 million U.S. dollars, this is not a small amount of financing. But if the financing is really successful, does that mean that a small investment of 300,000 has doubled many times in less than a year." Yang Dongxu put down He said with a smile on the document in his hand.
"It's doubled, BOSS, you have set a dazzling diamond in the crown of your Wall Street investment god." Dom flattered with excitement on his face.
He had actually heard that YouTube was very popular right now, but he didn't expect it to be so popular. The first round of financing actually offered 20%, a sky-high price of US$2,000. In other words, the oil pipeline is now valued at 100 million, and the previous investment has doubled directly by 100 times.
However, the founders of YouTube are also decisive and ambitious. Generally, most of the first round of financing involves 10% of the shares. After all, the founders hope to control the company and raise more with fewer shares. money.
However, YouTube invested 20% of its shares in the first round of financing. If Yang Yao wanted to follow up, then with the 30% of his shares and some small shareholders who followed him to start the business, the founder of YouTube would have 20% of the shares. The shares are less than 50%.
