Chapter 1032 The Commission to Save Michael Jackson

With Donn and Steve Burke reaching an agreement, the New Global will be ready to be dispatched.

Donn had already communicated with Tusca Musk about this matter.

With the order issued by Tang En, a new Global Group immediately established an organization called "Save Michael Jackson Committee" and led departments including the Chairman's Office, Public Relations Department, Legal Department, Finance Department, Universal Pictures, Universal Records and Negotiation Committee to make a series of careful handling and arrangements for Michael Jackson's incident.

The top leader of the committee is personally led by assistant chairman Tusca Musk!

Of course, the name of this committee is to save Michael Jackson. In fact, the greater significance is to grab the operation rights of two music companies under Michael Jackson to Universal Records.

NBC agreed, Sony agreed, and New Universal was also very interested. If Michael Jackson himself was not interested, there would be no trick.

However, this is impossible.

The trial of the case has entered a white-hot stage, and he himself wanders between life imprisonment and acquittal, with dangers everywhere.

At this time, no matter how stupid his team is, it is impossible for him to refuse the kindness from Tang En!

Even Michael Jackson himself called and expressed his gratitude to New Global.

In short, the first step of the "Save Michael Jackson Committee" action was to contact Michael Jackson himself and reveal his intention to cooperate.

It can be achieved easily!

The second step will involve the Ministry of Law, Finance, Universal Records and Negotiation Committee.

Donn and Steve Burke only reached a preliminary agreement. After all, Sony Records still holds a 50% stake in ATV and a three-year distribution contract with MIJAC.

This requires money to buy out.

In addition, it is impossible for New Global to help Michael Jackson for no reason. As the party involved, he always has to show enough benefits and sincerity, right?

At this time, Universal Records needs to appear.

Currently, all copyrights of Michael Jackson's songs are affiliated with MIJAC Music Company, which is the sole shareholder of the company.

Sony Records failed to acquire shares in MIJAC, but Universal Records could not repeat the same mistakes.

If you just follow Sony Records to sign a 5- or 10-year song distribution agreement, in essence, there are not many differences.

Universal Records still has limited control over Michael Jackson.

At that time, if there are some minor frictions between the two sides, Michael Jackson will definitely be disobedient and will organize a fan meeting to criticize Universal Records like criticizing Sony Records, which will be a big trouble.

Taking advantage of Michael Jackson's chance to get more rights and interests in the court hearing this time!

Not only do you have to get 50% of the shares of ATV from Sony Records, but you also have to get 50% of the shares of MIJAC from Michael Jackson!

Only in this way can we firmly tie Michael Jackson to Universal Records, instead of wandering outside the three major record companies, using our fame to compete with the three major record companies, and constantly seeking greater benefits for ourselves.

Donne admires Michael Jackson's musical talent very much, but his feelings cannot be eaten as a meal.

Since it is cooperation, you must take out the corresponding bargaining chips.

This is the most critical and complex step, which is related to the tangible interests of the New Global Group. The group’s vice president, Long Mayer, came to take charge of this work personally.

The third step is public relations.

This is easy to understand.

Now, the judge has not yet announced the verdict, but rumors from the outside world are messy, especially many British media, who are almost convicted of Michael Jackson.

This is very wrong. Xin Global needs to contact some cooperative media through its own publicity channels to make some positive public relations reports on this case.

Give confidence to those fanatical fans and supporters to promote them to continue to incite social forces and form public opinion effects.

Step 4: The gray area of ​​the Internet.

It is now 2005 and is still in the early days of the Internet.

Original sin and the gray area abound.

After Netflix's business became popular, Pepsika also launched its online leasing business, but it was unable to open up the situation. Why? In addition to Netflix entering this industry earlier, with more mature technologies and algorithms, and with the assistance of IMDB film and television database, there is another important point - a gray area strike!

Or hacker strike!

PepsiCo's servers are frequently attacked and the website is frequently paralyzed. In this case, it would be strange if it is Netflix's opponent!

PepsiCo is just a traditional company that wants to transform.

However, the ship is too big to turn around!

However, Xin Global has many technology companies, especially Tang En has a tacit friendly relationship with the Internet field. In this regard, PepsiCo is no match for it.

In the case against Michael Jackson, the hacker team of New Global wants to create a "conclusive evidence" website to leak all confidential court records! (Note)

This is the power of stimulating public opinion, and through more people, to influence the jury as much as possible, so that they can make a penalty in favor of Michael Jackson.

Step 5, movie!

Last year, Tang En personally wrote and planned a movie "Hunting".

The film is directed by David Finch, the director of the crime thriller film that has filmed "The Seven Deadly Sins", "Fight Club" and "The Disappearing Love", and starring Mel Gibson and Lily Collins.

What we tell is a story about lies.

Mel Gibson is an excellent teacher who just divorced. He was loved and admired by student Lily Collins. He wanted to pursue him, but was rejected.

Lily Collins's little girl was in trouble and lied that she had been violated by Mel Gibson.

Then, this lie caused a series of blows to Mel Gibson's life.

Even later Lily Collins admitted that she was the one who lied.

However, this did not change Mel Gibson's life in the future. He was still struggling with despises, insults and doubts...

This is a tragic ending movie.

Very reflective.

In this story, Donn was originally "inspiration" obtained from Woody Allen's controversy, and felt the pain of being blackmailed as a celebrity.

But I didn't expect that this story would be so appropriate at that time.

Tusca Musk personally went to Universal Studios and found Universal Studios CEO Amy Pascal, as well as the executive producer of "The Hunting", Arnon Milkan and director David Finch.

"Ms. Musk, your request...it's hard for us to do."

Arnon Milkan is a gold medal producer in Hollywood and can be the father of Tusca Musk at the age of age.

However, Hollywood is a traditional force, and there are obvious hierarchies here.

The more famous the producer is, the more he will be in compliance with the rules.

In front of Tusca Musk, Arnon Milkan was polite and although he was extremely dissatisfied with her request, he did not reveal it.

Tusca Musk frowned and said unhappily: "Didn't you say that the later stage of the movie has been completed?"

"The film's post-production is finished, but for the post-production process, it's just the beginning." Arnon Milkan said in embarrassment.

Tusca Musk has worked on cartoons and she understands the production model of Hollywood movies.

For feature films like "Hunting", post-production does not require special effects, only preliminary cutting, regular cutting, dubbing, rendering, subtitles, audio synthesis, etc., 2 months is enough.

"Hunting" has been completed for 3 months, and these tasks have been completed long ago.

However, for Hollywood movies, this is just the beginning, and a longer work will be needed next - market research.

Just look for different people to watch the movie.

Including investors, industry peers, film critics, supervisors, leaders in charge, company leaders, and temporary popular movie watching conferences, they ask them to give their opinions, and then modify, reshoot, or even reshoot the movie.

This is the most important content before the movie was released.

The original scheduled schedule for "Hunting" was September, but it is only March, and there has been no market research and repeated revisions.

Tusca Musk has been with Don En for so long, and he usually sees the top figures in this circle. He has cultivated a strong woman's heroic spirit. With a wave of his hand, he said unquestionably: "Then do it quickly! There is still time! In the next month, you can do everything you think is necessary. On April 15, I will see this video in major cinemas across the United States!"

Arnon Millcan said nothing at all when the corner of his mouth was gone.

Director David Finch has no say.

His job is just to make movies.

Amy Pascal, who had been silent, also heard something. If you associate it with the current situation, you can tell what Tusca Musk meant. He nodded and said seriously: "No problem! I can promise you that "Hunting" will be released on time and on that day, all over the United States!"

Tusca Musk smiled at her, "Thank you for supporting my work."

Amy Pascal was speechless.

What can I do if I don’t support it?

In terms of the authority of the film business, Tusca Musk can't control her at all.

But, there are people on the other side!

She is the assistant to the big boss Donn Walker!

Even a fool can understand that she represents Tang En's will, and this is the imperial envoy!

In front of the imperial envoy, the chief officials of the border must be obedient!

This is the benefit of a wholly owned subsidiary.

The release of "Hunting" in advance means that it is understanding that it is infringing on the interests of Universal Pictures to ensure that Universal Records obtains greater benefits.

If Universal Pictures is not a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Universal Group, the group headquarters must make compensation to meet the interests of other shareholders.

Just like Time Warner, because many of its assets have their own boards of directors, the resolutions made by the group headquarters based on the interests of the general company will often refuse to implement them! Because it will harm the interests of other shareholders!

This is the disadvantage of traditional enterprises.

Emerging companies like Microsoft, Apple, and Google, and subsidiaries with core assets must be 100% controlled, so that all the group's resources can be better coordinated. All shareholders can convert the shares of the subsidiaries into the stocks of the head office, so that this huge group can operate more efficiently and smoothly.
