Chapter 292

Clive Davis, President of allista records, doesn't believe that danielis entertainment will make such an irrational decision to kill eight hundred enemies at the expense of one thousand. Hearing Nancy Brill's face-to-face notice, he quarrels with Nancy in astonishment and anger, and then remembers to contact Simon. He thinks Nancy Brill is making her own decision.

Simon's answer is conceivable.

Clive Davis still doesn't believe danielis entertainment will suspend the sale of "bodyguard" original record. The two sides have been deadlocked for a whole day, and the news inevitably reaches the media.

As of September 17, last Sunday, "bodyguard" has been released in North America for 15 and a half weeks, with a total box office of $116.35 million. The box office of the film has also dropped to within the $500000 range in a single week, and the next film is coming. However, when Denise entertainment and alista records reported that they would stop the sale of "bodyguard" original record because of the dispute, the film, which has begun to finish in North America, once again attracted strong attention from the media and the public.

No matter how Clive Davis reacts, the soundtrack of bodyguard has indeed stopped shipping, and the related work in Europe, Asia and other overseas regions has also stopped.

It is well known that western countries are strict with copyright protection.

The dispute between Denise entertainment and alista records was originally limited to unclear division. If alista records insisted on selling the original record of "bodyguard" after the demand of Denise entertainment, which shared the copyright, it would involve copyright infringement.

As long as the two sides reach an agreement, the dispute will be settled well. Even if they go to court, alista records will not lose too much. But when it comes to copyright infringement, it's not too much to ask for a $100 claim in a $1 copyright lawsuit. Denise entertainment is enough to bankrupt alista records.

On September 20, seeing that danielis entertainment had no intention of making a gesture, it really stopped all the business activities of the original record of bodyguard, and Clive Davis finally woke up.

Danielis entertainment has a lot of other income base, the lack of "bodyguard" original record input, the impact of the company can be ignored. However, this record is the mainstay of the company's revenue. According to the original forecast, this record alone will probably contribute more than 70% of the company's profits this year.

Obviously, it's self-evident that this record is more important to that side.

Just after eight o'clock in the morning, Clive Davis arrived at the headquarters of alista records company on Oliver Avenue in Burbank after a long night's suffering, but the media reporters crouched nearby earlier than him.

Clive Davis had just finished parking in the public parking lot next to the company's headquarters when a group of reporters gathered around him, pushed the door and got off without expression, and all kinds of questions rang out in his ears.

"Mr. Davis, will you reconcile with Denise entertainment?"

"Is allista records going to sue Denise entertainment?"

"Will Alistair's parent company, Bertelsmann music group, step in and mediate?"

"It's said that Whitney is already preparing for her second film. Will this have a negative impact on her development in Hollywood?"

“……”

“……”

"Clive, are you going to be fired for causing so much damage to the company?"

“……”

Clive Davis walked towards the office building of the company without saying a word. Suddenly, he heard the question ringing in his ears, which touched the area he was most worried about. He couldn't calm down. He turned his head and replied angrily: "I didn't bring any loss to the company. You should ask Simon westero. That greedy bastard is the one who caused the loss The culprit of all this. "

When the reporters heard the words, they immediately became more boiling.

This kind of irrational fight is the most popular material in the media.

"Clive, you mean it's Simon westero's fault?"

"Isn't it? Just because of some disputes, he forcibly stopped an excellent record which is enough to be recorded in the history of music. This is a total blasphemy of music. Of course, I believe that bastard certainly does not think it is blasphemy, because he only sees money in his eyes. Otherwise, why do you think he can become the richest man in the Union

"But, according to danilis Entertainment's announcement, the cause of the incident is that alista swallowed danilis Entertainment's share."

"Of course they would say that from their own point of view. If it wasn't for Whitney's song, a shitty movie like that might not even get 10 million at the box office. They have made enough profits, but they are not satisfied. They have to extract more from alista. In my opinion, it's just insatiable greed. "

“……”

“……”

After some venting, Clive Davis finally entered the office building of allista records. However, his comments about Simon westero's "greedy" and "bodyguard" as "shit" quickly spread. A local television station in Los Angeles and the national CNN news channel soon appeared similar topics, and triggered a broader discussion about the incident.As another party involved in the incident, or regarded as a party by the media and some people wishfully, Simon met Janet at Los Angeles International Airport at 1 p.m., and then boarded the Boeing 767 which was still rented and flew directly to Milan, Italy.

In fact, Simon just decided that he didn't want to be involved in the next thing.

When Clive Davis's comments spread, danilisi entertainment also made a counterattack for the first time, accusing alista records of being really greedy. It swallowed up a quarter of danilisi Entertainment's share in the original record of bodyguard, which can't even be called greedy. It's a crime.

In fact, the circle can probably understand why daenerys entertainment reacted so violently to allista record's annexation of bodyguard. It's obvious that it made a warning to others. Therefore, although it is still very pleasant to have fun with Denise on the surface, it is hard to avoid doing some small actions in private, which makes Denise entertainment unable to completely control public opinion.

In addition, fans of Whitney Houston also jumped out to join in the fun and gathered outside danielis entertainment headquarters in Santa Monica and Burbank, demanding that danielis entertainment give up targeting its own idols.

Clive Davis actually began to regret after he said that. However, since the situation can't be reversed, he can only survive and expect danilisi entertainment to make concessions under the pressure of public opinion and fans.

Of course, Denise entertainment can't give in.

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Nancy Brill said that the original album of bodyguard will never appear on the market again unless alista records accepts the financial audit of danilisi entertainment, pays all the share of danilisi entertainment and makes compensation.

Influenced by Nancy's remarks, the price of a small number of "bodyguard" original records still circulating in the market has risen.

As the parent company of alista records, Bertelsmann music group of Germany was very glad that it took over the bankrupt record company from RCA two years ago because of the birth of "bodyguard". Now, after what happened, Clive Davis not only didn't take measures to ease the situation, but also obviously dragged it out of control and soon decided to step in.

A senior member of Bertelsmann music group flew to Los Angeles from Germany the day after Simon's flight to Italy. The first thing he did after his arrival was to announce that Clive Davis would take a temporary indefinite leave, take over the operation of allista records, and start negotiations with Denise entertainment.

Italy.

Simon's residence in Milan is located on the Bank of the famous Lake Como in the north of the city. The two acre mansion is built on a hillside overlooking Lake Como. It is surrounded by dense woods. It takes more than one kilometer of forest path to reach from the lake road at night. It is very private.

Today is September 22.

Gucci's spring and summer show of 1990 was arranged on the morning of 23. Simon and Janet arrived in Milan on the afternoon of 21 local time. They just went to the city to see the last rehearsal of the show. They did not participate in some activities of the opening ceremony of Milan fashion week, so they went back to the villa with beautiful scenery to have a rest.

In the twinkling of an eye, I haven't seen you for more than a month. Compared with many strangers, they prefer to stay together and talk.

However, Simon and Janet are not the only two people in the villa. Of course, the bodyguards are not included. Besides the female assistant, Jennifer, Natasha Kinski, who came to Milan specially to support gucci fashion show, also lives in the villa. Sophia faessy didn't live here because she was busy preparing for the show.

Milan is still in the Mediterranean climate region, however, because of the inland, the weather here is very cool after autumn, and the warm sun in the afternoon is suitable for sunbathing.

Janet was lying on the couch by the pool in the courtyard, covering herself in the sun, looking at the news from Los Angeles.

A moment later, the woman turned her eyes and said to Simon, "they say you're greedy."

Simon is browsing through a local newspaper in Milan. Wen Yan skillfully recites the classic line in "Wall Street" and says: "green is good, green is right, green works!"

"hum."

Janet is dissatisfied with Simon's show off. Her little feet in thin socks come over and scratch Simon. Women are afraid of tanning their feet.

Simon lifted his leg, easily pressed Janet's little foot under him and said, "do you want to go downtown at night?"

Janet was immediately interested: "just the two of us?"
