In the future, music will be paid to download, and it will further promote piracy. Internet piracy will be easier. Even in the United States, which attaches great importance to patents, it is impossible to stop it. Who has not downloaded songs on the Internet? If you are too rigid about record sales, it will only be a dead end. In five or six years, it will be quite popular for a singer to sell seven to eight million records worldwide, and it is almost impossible to exceed 10 million.

Therefore, if a singer wants to develop continuously, he has to broaden his own way and start from other aspects. It is very important to have a popular image while maintaining the exposure. At present, Britney Spears still looks like the girl next door. Although she has already shown a sense of Xing in her third album, she is far from enough to transform.

Therefore, Adrian arranged for her to go to university for further study to give the public a positive feeling. In this way, even if her exposure rate was appropriately reduced, her songs would be full of expectation. In addition, with a series of means, with the support of such huge resources, as long as Britney would not do some self destruction like in previous life, she would become the second and even equal to Madonna It's not difficult. Don't worry too much about that. At least Britney is happy as a pet.

Besides, it can also make way for Avril - yes, that's another reason Adrian asked Britney to go to college. The shrinking of the recording industry is irreversible, but it will take time, at least in two years. Spears in his support to seize the last glimmer of light, Avril why can't seize this point back?

As for Christina, oh, Adrian also has plans. In the next few years, the Latino population in the United States will increase greatly, and Christina with Latin origin will be a good card to attract them. As Britney's best competitor, how could Adrian forget her? And Christina is also very obedient. Her family situation is between Leighton, Sarah and Kirsten. She may not realize that, but her world has been completely controlled by Adrian. The only variable is Christina's obsession with surpassing Britney Spears. However, it doesn't matter. If the means are high enough, it is possible to make her become a second little pet Yes.

In a word, some people will not know that the next round of music will be published, but some people will not be satisfied with the coming of the new round of music, but some people will not be satisfied with the new round Le Ren, a series of appeals are just dying struggles.

The record industry is excited about this, but it can't stop the tide of free Internet, so some people are already working on the future, such as Adrian, the guy sitting in front of Adrian and talking to him now.

"An MP3 player, very small, about 4.3 inches long, can be held in the hand or pinned on the waist, wearing headphones while listening, the capacity is about 5g, can download hundreds of songs to put in it, only need a thumb to complete the operation. In addition, it can also be used as a storage device to store some files, and there are some practical small functions. It's cool, isn't it? " In the corner of the reception, jobs took the trouble to inculcate and sell his ideas and things to Adrian as before.

"It's really cool. Just listening to your description, I'd love to have one. When are you going to sell it?" Adrian asked with a smile.

"It will be in the second half of the year. There are still some testing and equipment work to be done. We should try to be perfect. This will be another leap for apple." Jobs replied.

"I totally believe that, Steve," Adrian patted him on the shoulder. "Everything you've done in the past two or three years has proved that I'm right. Apple only has Steve? Apple after jobs, Michael? Dell must regret what he said at the beginning, and he will regret it even more in the future. "

After jobs took over apple in 1997, Michael? Dell once satirized that he couldn't save apple, and claimed that if he was in that position, the only thing he had to do was sell the apple and return the money to investors. Now, of course, everyone knows that what he said has become a joke. This is especially true when DELL, which is deeply hurt by the IT bubble burst, and the apple that has already released its splendor.

"Thank you." Jobs laughed, with a trace of pride, as long as people like to be sought after, what's more, he did achieve a lot of people can't do. Of course, he knows Adrian is boasting in disguise, but what does it matter? Adrian is fully qualified.

"So..." He said something again, but was interrupted before he could speak.

"You have to go to Claude. He's in charge." Adrian said with a smile. Of course he knew what jobs wanted. It was just the brand of the iPod.

When he registered the iPad all over the world to plan for the future, he also registered the iPod and iPhone in all categories. If jobs wants to launch the iPad now, he must buy the trademark from them."Claude is not an easy man to talk to." Jobs pushed his glasses.

"That's why I made him CEO, didn't I?" Adrian spread his hands. "Talk to him first, Steve."

Frankly speaking, will It's not a good idea to register the brand of iPhone and iPhone in all categories all over the world. The right way is to set aside North America for full category registration in other regions. In this way, once Apple has registered the relevant trademark in the United States, it will have to discuss with AC media if it sells the same trademark all over the world. This profit is not low.

But now it is not the same. The wanted trademark has been registered by others, and jobs is likely to replace it with a new one. In this way, they are doing useless work. However, probably because AC media supported him almost unconditionally on Apple's board of directors, jobs thought that they were easy to talk about, so he came to his door. Of course, in Adrian's opinion, he will do so. It is more likely that the iPod and IMAC have the same charm and do not want to give up.

Anyway, this is a good opportunity. As long as the iPod is sold, the last two will not be a problem. However, it also requires a high level of negotiation skills. So Adrian kept quiet about jobs' demands and left Claude to deal with them. The only thing he had to do was to further deepen jobs' impression that "AC media is a partner with him rather than a controller".

"Is PC supported?" Adrian asked, and jobs raised his eyebrows without answering.

"Macintosh is really good. A lot of people are proud to use Macintosh, but Steve, whether you admit it or not, PC users are far more than Macintosh users." Adrian said in a very sincere tone.

To my surprise, jobs wasn't upset. He laughed: "I thought about it, ed. don't worry. These things can be done slowly, but you remind me that I can have a third-party software designed for PC users to use the player."

After a little thought, Adrian understood his intention. First, he needed to observe the market situation after the launch of the iPod; second, he released a new model supporting windows, and then added some capacity or more small features to attract people to buy, which not only made money but also earned word-of-mouth? Jobs was also a capitalist.

"How many cell phones do you have?" Adrian changed the subject.

"Two. Are you going to sell me mobile phones?" Jobs laughed. "Although I sometimes play with mobile phones, low power consumption and simple functions are suitable for people like us."

"Yes, but I still think you should look at this phone." Adrian said he took a small cell phone out of his coat pocket and "

IM's smartphone BlackBerry."

"The dense buttons are not interesting at all." Jobs took it and gave it back to him with a frown.

"Yes, it is said that

im got its name because its buttons look like seeds on the surface of a blackberry," Adrian shrugged. "Although it doesn't look very good, it does have many functions. It can also connect to the Internet wirelessly and send and receive e-mail at any time. It is a business phone equivalent to s è, which is very suitable for secretarial assistants 。”

He said with a smile: "what I want to say is, hasn't Apple thought about making a more s è smartphone?"

After a long time, jobs pinched his chin and narrowed his eyes. He asked with great interest: "why do you have this idea?"

"Because it's a trend," Adrian stares into jobs's eyes. "Moore's law says that computers can more than double every 18 months, but we all know that the update speed is much faster than that. Now it's only in industry, medicine, government and other customer groups that have small markets. Maybe in three or four years, tablet computers will be popularized to students or more professionals, and then in seven or eight years, it will become a necessity for ordinary people like personal computers. In addition to the most basic communication functions, it may also add functions such as sending and receiving e-mail, listening to songs and watching videos, playing games and taking photos. This is a huge market. I can't believe Steve who invented the personal computer? Jobs won't see that. "

Jobs didn't speak. He took off his glasses, took out the lens cleaning paper, wiped the lenses, put them back on, and then looked at Adrian: "I think it must be a good idea to invite you to be the director after those people in the planning department are fired."

"I'm sorry, Steve, I have to say no," Adrian laughed and raised his hands. "It's just my sideline. I prefer making movies."

It's a successful conversation. It's a bit annoying to attend more than one party, but it's not without benefits. It's always pleasant to talk to smart people because they can see far away. From jobs' performance, we can see that even if Apple doesn't have plans for smart phones, apple thinks it has relevant general ideas, let alone the iPod, which will be released this year. We should know that more than ten days ago, the iPhone has been launched on Apple's website more than ten days ago, and users can download the music mall to their computers and even all their devices in a few seconds.Jobs obviously saw the huge profits of spreading music on the Internet early, perhaps when napste

was founded, otherwise, it would not be on line so well. In other words, Napster

is also the leader of iTunes. Of course, iTunes has to pay to download. Apple is bound to seek the support of AC media, which is one of the top five record companies. Claude may take advantage of this opportunity.

Maybe they can also consider purchasing napste

after the judgment, if they want to develop, they will have to change the mode, but the original free to charge, users will inevitably elapse, and those who are used to free will not be willing to pay their own money, even if it is only a cent, no matter where people are. Therefore, it's better to let napste

continue to provide free services and build a platform for those who like singing and want to publish their own songs. Maybe the record companies will find some good stars in the future

Forget it. Adrian suddenly shook his head and laughed. He has a better platform, maybe let Merging with ADO

e is a good thing.

After calculating the time, Adrian flew to park city, Utah, where the Sundance Film Festival was in full swing.

The Sundance Film Festival is Robert? Rayford founded it in '81 to give film makers more opportunities to show their works. In fact, this proposal was made in' 78, but it was formally decided in '81, and it was officially named the Sundance Film Festival in' 91.

Compared with most film festivals in the world, the Sundance Film Festival is a film festival where the word "Festival" is used to the utmost. At this time of year, park city is full of people who play, watch movies, ski and find stars to sign their names. No wonder some media say that even if there are big stars attending the festival, the main characters will always be ordinary people.

However, Adrian often thinks that such a well-known film festival should be arranged in Utah. As we all know, Utah is one of the most conservative states in the interior of the United States. For the simplest example, lovers of Xing can plant rainbow flags all over West Hollywood in San Francisco, but do they dare to do so in Salt Lake City? In the same way, some films that have won awards at other festivals will be criticized by local residents.

But Utah is also adjacent to Nevada. Sometimes Las Vegas is even more open than some coastal cities. Legal things are legal here, and illegal things are still legal here! It is ironic that the two states next to each other are so far apart in terms of conservatism and openness.

At least one of the most famous films donated by adelain to the International Festival is still one of the most famous in the United States. Hollywood film companies also like to come here to look for gold. Although there are no such low-cost and high-box office movies as "the witch Blair", the Sundance Film Festival has sold a lot of good works, and Miramax likes it very much.

"It's going to be a year since you promised it, ed. don't you want to default?" Harvey in his clothes? Weinstein muttered as he followed Adrian.

"Why, Harvey, do I look like a deadbeat?" Adrian laughed. "You know, I got three chances from you, and I even arranged for the other two. How could I forget my promise?"

"But the truth is that you haven't mentioned it once in the past year. If I didn't ask today, you wouldn't have." Weinstein is still a little discontented.

"Relax, Harvey. You have to wait for the heroine to grow up to be able to act in this movie. Even if the corner s è is a vase, the actor has to be a vase." Adrian stopped and looked at him.

"Grow up to have enough ability?" Weinstein's mouth was very big. "Do you want to tell me Are you going to make an actress famous with this movie

"What's the problem?" Adrian shrugged and said in a relaxed tone.

"Of course not, just..." Weinstein gestured, "you said, this movie series..."

"Yes, of course, if there is not enough high box office and enough good parts, how can I make her popular?" Adrian opened his hands, and there was no taboo for them to discuss this topic.

"Well, then Who is it? " Weinstein thought for a moment, gave up asking and turned to another topic, "which young girl do you like?"

Adrian laughed and said nothing.

"Well, it's Hollywood's famous playboy." Weinstein sighed. "At least let me see the script? Don't tell me you don't even have a script! "

"No problem. Since you are in such a hurry, I'll call them and ask them to deliver them right away." Adrian nodded."Hey, you don't want to make the red one, do you?" Weinstein suddenly pointed to the distance, and he obviously cared about the problem.

Look where he's pointing, Liv? Tyler is laughing and laughing in the ski resort, and next to her is Sophia? In the end, Sophia chose her new film innocence to attend the Sundance Film Festival. A little further away, Julia? Roberts and her niece Emma? Roberts, Julia is here to accompany Emma, because Emma's "little sunshine" is coming to the Sundance Film Festival.
