Chapter 385： dark deal

Whether Universal Music was involved in the slander or not, only Craig Cook and the top leaders know, this kind of secret will never come out. Craig and Cook won't either, because he knows that once the truth is revealed, regardless of whether Universal Music is directly responsible or jointly and severally responsible, the company will desperately destroy his little shrimp, and then calm down and save the public relations crisis. Craig Cook knows that it is only when the truth remains in his heart that he can be of the greatest value.

Naturally, Alex Caleri didn't know the so-called truth, and it was precisely because he didn't know the truth that Craig-Cook's words just successfully touched him.

The media won't care whether Universal Music's role in the defamation incident is the real instigator or a participant, as long as the media know the series of actions after Universal Music: ban Craig-Cook from resisting, accept the verdict: stop Craig A Cook and Evan Bell continued to entangle and went directly to prison: through cash, paid a total of $6.5 million in fines for Craig-Cook, Heidi-Méng Gomery in the judgment: at the same time Universal Music also pledged to help Craig Cook get out of jail sooner.

Then, Universal Music's situation is absolutely embarrassing!

Although Universal Music did not leave any recorded evidence for a series of transactions with Craig Cook, Heidi-Méng Gomery, but as long as Craig-Cook made this statement, then Universal Music would be punished. Bad.

As Craig-Cook said, even if Universal Music did not directly participate, the media would think that Universal Music condoned Craig-Cook's behavior. The unanimous voice of the media and producers at that time was more or less because of the The reason behind Universal Music by Greg Cook. Then, it is absolutely impossible for Universal Music to get out of the scandal as easily as it is now.

Therefore, now Universal Music and Craig-Cook are in a mutually restraining relationship. Universal Music is trying to figure out whether Craig Cook will tear his face. Craig Cook hopes to use the power of Universal Music to get out of prison as soon as possible. And get a monetary compensation.

Today's face of Alex Caleri is not a test of Craig-Cook.

Seeing that Craig Jieke had gone out of his way, Alex Ten Riley's smile froze, but it soon returned to normal. They all underestimated the changes of Craig-Cook. According to the original Craig-Cook stance, he would definitely use his chips to seek more benefits, and he couldn't hold his breath, and the courage to go out was not enough, or else If Craig-Cook really went out of his way in the slander incident, it would definitely not be so easy for Evan-Bell to get away so easily.

But three months in prison seems to have changed Craig-Cook a lot. He was more impatient, if you say, deeper, and at the same time he was more daring.

"The sincerity of the company is still very good, otherwise it would not have sent me today, would it?"

Alex-Caleri tried to lighten the mood with a polite remark. But he couldn't help but secretly scolded the public relations manager who had left his job.

Universal Music's emergency public relations were completely wrong at the beginning. They didn't need to care about Craig Cook at all, and they just broke the wrist. Even if Craig-Cook stubbornly resists and gets entangled, it will be a headache for Evan-Bell, as long as Universal Music stands firm, it is enough. But the PR manager at the time was worried that Craig Cook's cancer would continue to entangle and would affect Universal Music's PR first aid, so he reached a deal with Craig Cook. Well now, there are endless troubles!

Universal Music, however, laid off its PR manager on the day Craig Cook was in jail, because they quickly realized the fatal failure of their PR measures.

Universal Music hated Craig-Cook on the one hand, and frowned on Evan-Bell on the other.

"Don't talk about sincerity!" Craig-Cook himself came from a big company, how could he not know this official rhetoric "There is no way to get me out of prison early, you are worried that there will be documentary evidence left, I will Relying on his own strength to commute the sentence. However, after I get out of prison, Universal Music must offer me a position!" Craig-Cook knew that Universal Music had turned his face and refused to recognize anyone, so he had long thought of taking a step back. Strategy, he will make Universal Music promise!

"As for the cash for the transaction, are you worried that the bank will keep records? Hmph, if you find a stranger to go to the bank to deposit money into my account, wouldn't there be no paper evidence?"

Speaking of which, Craig-Cook rolled his eyes, thought of something, and couldn't help sneering, "You are worried that strangers will become witnesses one day, the media is not the police, and this witness will not let The company is convicted." Alex Caleri was noncommittal, confirming Craig Cook's conjecture "Then you put cash in the letter, put on gloves, and send it to jail." Letters can be printed, and letters can be sent. Wear gloves, this method does work.

Alex Tenrai didn't answer right away, he knew that it was impossible to make a deal in one go. But now Craig Cook is completely a desperado and can't guess according to previous ideas, so he quickly made a plan. "There is no problem with cash, we will send it in in batches. Just, $10,000 in cash But it has to be sent many times, if you don't mind, we have no need to object."

"Ten thousand dollars! Didn't you say fifty thousand dollars?" Craig-Cook thumped the table angrily, alarming the prison guards.

Alex-Caleri smiled and signaled that it was all right, and then said to Craig-Cook, "$10,000, no room for negotiation." This is the first time today, Alex When Caleri spoke in such a firm tone, Craig and Cook's heart sank, "The company has paid a fine of $6.5 million before, are you taking the company a big buck?"

Craig Cook looked at Alex Caleri's smiling face and guessed whether the ten thousand dollars was meant by the company, or that Alex Caleri had swallowed some of the money himself. After all, this is a cash transaction, and the company won't intervene in order to avoid suspicion, maybe Alex Ten Laili will really swallow it. Of course, this is just Craig-Cook's own guess. He has no evidence, and it is impossible to find evidence in a short time, so he just weighed it a little and planned not to continue to entangle here.

"There is no room for negotiation about the company's position!" This time it was Craig Cook's turn to be tough.

Alex Caleri laughed. He didn't answer right away, but he quickly thought in his mind that two years later, after Craig-Cook was released from prison, whether the media will pay attention to it will not be said for the time being, but the world will be vicissitudes by then, even if Universal Music re-employs Craig-Cook gram won't have much effect either. Besides, it is also the company's decision to hire him for any position.

So, Alex Caleri nodded vigorously. "I will forcefully convince the company to agree to this deal. I will tell you the result when I write to you next time." Leary was also careful not to appear in the prison again and be caught by the media.

Seeing that the deal was done, Craig Cook originally wanted to go back directly, but he thought of his horrible and disgusting roommate, so he didn't stand up, and continued to bite the bullet and continued, "I listened to the new album of Melancholy on the radio, it's very good. "Although the relationship between Craig-Cook and Melancholy has never been intimate, after all, this is a band he brought out by himself, and he still cares about it.

"The band has a good foundation." Alex Ten Riley doesn't mind wearing a few top hats for Craig Cook, does he have any losses? "This time the company intends to play steadily, and the promotion and planning of the album are mainly based on stability. At present , the effect is good, yesterday at the signing ceremony of Viking City at Times Square, nearly 200 singers were present."

Craig-Cook knows that when he planned the melancholic mood last year, he was still a little closer, and the jealousy of Evan-Bell also had an indelible impact. The album positioning,

There were mistakes in the title track and other aspects. Three months of prison life has calmed down Craig-Cook a lot.

"I think the relationship between Melancholy and Evan-Bell in the media seems to be good." Craig Cook tentatively mentioned. In fact, the relationship between the two can't be said to be good at all, it's just that the well water doesn't make the river water. Evan-Bell thought about it and took the initiative to avoid the limelight in a melancholy mood. Naturally, there was no chance for a confrontation.

Alex Caleri knew exactly what Craig Cook meant by saying this and smiled. "In the entertainment industry, there are many ways to go head-to-head. In my opinion, album sales and the number of trophies are the real deal. victory.

There is no need to cling to the thrill of punching each other, and there is no need for the small movements behind you to win. "Alex Caleri's remarks are a response to Craig Cook.

Unlike Craig Cook, Alex Caleri's thinking is very clear He will not be like Craig Cook always making slander incidents to hit the witness of opponents, he is more inclined It is the best solution to the hatred of Evan-Bell and melancholic mood to make melancholy mood popular, and let melancholy mood stand on the stage where everyone cheers like Evan-Bell.

Therefore, the recent melancholy mood is indeed relatively "low-key" and there is no chance for Evan and Bell Lou Feng. Alex-Caleri prefers to take pictures slowly.

Looking at Craig Cook's pale face turning a little blue, the smile on Alex Caleri's face was still "Mr. Cook, I think I'll stop here today. Today's conversation is very pleasant. , I hope you have a good day."

After finishing speaking, Alex Ten Ley saw that Craig Cook's face turned pale again, without a trace of blood. The hardships of prison life, which Alex Caleri had never experienced, did not hinder his understanding.

Alex-Caleri stood up, then watched silently as Craig Cook was dragged by the guards and disappeared into the fences. Craig Cook was still talking to himself calmly and calmly just now, but in the blink of an eye, his face was pale and speechless.
