Chapter 292 (1/2)
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. ”
