Chapter 980 Free Authorization
In just five days, Robert Iger managed to get the Big Machine Records Company. Relativity Entertainment acquired Big Machine for $6 million, and Scott Pocheta and his team were all staying.
The truly valuable company is Scott Pocheta's team.
As for Katie Perry, the singer who has not even released a record is just one of the many girls who dream of becoming famous.
The acquisition was negotiated, the record department merged with Damas Records, and Robert Egg planned to set up a separate branch, and the record company remained in Burbank's office and would not move into the Relativity Building.
Ronan also took time to watch Big Machine Records. In the digital age in the future, paid downloads of a popular singer will continue to set records.
Currently, Big Machine Records owns four signed singers, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Adele and Justin Bieber, and the future is worth looking forward to.
At the same time, Relativity Entertainment also found the stupid face.
This girl named Selena Gomez is currently a little actor on Disney Children's Channel and is currently starring in Disney's magic comedy "The Young Magician".
Immediately, Relativity Entertainment transferred the relevant information to Big Machine Records, asking the record company to poach people.
In addition, Adele strongly recommended her classmates to Big Machine Records, and starred in Jessica Conish in "Hairspray".
The British actress also has a higher singing skills than performance, and after filming "Hairspray", Jessica Conish gave herself a stage name again - jessie-j.
The professional matters are left to professionals, and Ronan has no control over whether to sign the contract at all, so he completely let Scott Pocheta, the head of the Big Machine Records Company, take charge.
Scott Pocheta is not optimistic about Jessica Connish's future. Judging from years of experience, it is very difficult for Jessica Connish to enter the first-tier line in the future, let alone enter the second-tier line.
Luo Nan didn't take it seriously, and the singer he had never heard of was probably not a popular singer who was once very popular.
Another bad news also came. Connie's assistant team searched all over the North American music and entertainment circles, but did not find a female singer named Gaga.
Ronan said he was helpless. Lady Gaga must be the stage name, but I guess even Gaga fans don’t know much about what their real name is.
This kind of thing can only be done with the flow.
In the Relativity Building, the post-production room of Shahai Entertainment, Ronan met Taylor Swift, who had just finished the new season of Peppa Pig.
Compared to the last time, although Taylor Swift still had a instant noodles head, his carefully dressed up told the people around him that she was already a big star.
"Hello, Uncle Anderson." Taylor Swift was as polite as ever in front of Ronan: "Long time hasn't seen you."
Ronan nodded slightly: "Taylor, you seem to have grown taller again."
Taylor Swift scratched his instant noodles and said, "Only a little."
Ronan reminded: "You have to pay attention to your body shape."
Perhaps because it was too tall and too thin, Taylor Swift was hunched and had a very problematic body shape.
Taylor Swift also knew his problem, so he quickly straightened his waist, straightened his chest, and said, "I have started to correct it."
Ronan didn't say this anymore and asked, "How is it like being a star? Are you under great pressure?"
Taylor Swift's eyes lit up instantly: "Can I say it feels great to be a star?"
Ronan smiled: "It's good that you like it."
Many celebrities complain about either airports or hotels, endless announcements, no private life, etc., but countless people dream of being like them.
If these celebrities who like to complain will soon panic without announcements and attention.
Ronan saw Chris Renard and George Clint and was about to leave. Taylor Swift suddenly asked in a low voice: "I am now a member of Big Machine Records, and I feel that I am not a member of Relativity Entertainment..."
"You are always a member of the relativity entertainment." Ronan calmed her heart: "Taylor, sing well, perform well, and fall in love well, the future belongs to you."
Taylor Swift was a little confused, but he also heard that Ronan was encouraging her and immediately said, "I will."
Ronan thought of Scott and added: "When encountering a problem that cannot be solved, you can call me directly. Do you know my number?"
Taylor Swift pointed to his forehead: "I've always remembered it."
Ronan met Chris Renard and George Clint and walked towards the nearby reception room.
"The person has arrived?" Luo Nan asked as he walked.
George Clint replied: "Here we are here. This time we are a person in charge of the other party's National Center TV station, recommended by China Film Group."
Chris Renard knew nothing about the other side of the Pacific and asked, "Hasn't Peppa Pig already entered the market there?"
George Clint said: "It's just that local TV stations have introduced the first season, the playback range is very small, and the three-year authorization has expired."
Ronan strode towards the reception room, allowing him to come forward in person. On the one hand, the vast market across the Pacific Ocean is of unlimited value in the future. Even if there are various piracy, the Relativity Entertainment is still profitable. On the other hand, Zuo Shan Diao from Zhongying personally spoke to him on the phone, and the person who came here was Zuo Shan Diao's friend.
The people there are very particular about human relationships, and Ronan never minds going to happen in person when it comes to developing the market.
Ronan opened the door of the meeting room, and Danny Donald, the senior president of the overseas business of the Embassy Films and also a Chinese, immediately greeted a middle-aged man wearing glasses.
Danny Donald introduced both sides: "Mr. Liu, this is Mr. Ronan Anderson. Ronan, this is Steve Liu, deputy director of Oriental National Television."
Luo Nan shook hands with the other party with a smile: "Mr. Liu, I am very happy to know you."
Mr. Liu was polite and very much like a scholar: "It is my honor to meet Mr. Anderson."
Afterwards, Ronan shook hands with Steve Liu's entourage one by one, and both sides took the seats separately. After a brief greeting, they quickly got to the point.
Steve Liu said: "This time we had an exchange event with Hollywood. I led a team to visit the Relativity Entertainment Company, including post-production studio and crew live shooting. I was very impressed and gained a lot."
Ronan politely smiled and said politely: "We can deepen cooperation and communicate more. All crews and projects of Relativity Entertainment are open to you. If you are interested in it, you can visit, inspect and communicate at any time."
He specifically mentioned: "Although I have not met Mr. Han many times, I have been in contact with him. I also hope that this friendship can be turned into a bridge of communication and cooperation between the two sides."
When it comes to saying beautiful words, Ronan has already practiced it, and compared to other Hollywood people, he can obviously make the other party feel respectful.
Don’t underestimate this. In the market across the Pacific, it can directly affect the success or failure of cooperation.
Steve Liu looked at each other and felt better, and he had already heard that Hollywood's Relativity Entertainment valued Eastern partners and respected film or TV workers from Asia. Ronan Anderson himself also had a very good reputation. Now after the interview, the rumors are true.
"Mr. Han asked me to greet you." Steve Liu always smiled: "He hopes to see Mr. Anderson in the East again."
Ronan politely said: "As long as the time is right, I will definitely go to the East again."
In fact, with his current identity and status, it is not particularly convenient to go there in person. If you follow the channels of formal business interviews, it may even cause a certain sensation.
The highest level over there might all see him.
Steve Liu turned to the question: "The works of Relativity Entertainment have a great influence in the East and are also very popular with audiences. This time I came here, in addition to the inspection, communication and learning, there is also a task, hoping to introduce your company's works."
Luo Nan pretended not to know the other party's purpose and asked directly: "Which work do you want to introduce?"
"I am responsible for the children's animation business in Taiwan," said Steve Liu. "We hope to introduce your company's children's animation series Peppa Pig."
Without thinking, Ronan responded: "I agree in principle."
Compared with the Western market, "Peppa Pig" has a limited spread in the East and is far from becoming a popular work. It is even more far from the "What is Peppa" that was once.
This requires increasing the intensity of communication and promotion. At present, there is no better platform than the national TV station.
Steve Liu knew that there were other meanings behind Ronan’s words, but as a national television station, there were many restrictions on some aspects.
"This cooperation will become a witness to the friendship between us." Steve Liu seems to be a gentle scholar, but he is undoubtedly a personal wise man to be able to achieve this position: "Mr. Anderson, we come with twelve-point sincerity in cooperation, but some practical difficulties are also placed in front of us. We are a developing country with a relatively backward economy and limited funding..."
Listening to these familiar words, Ronan felt no trouble in his heart. The other side of the Pacific Ocean was undoubtedly very smart and would always be a developing country.
But he had a plan before coming over and had already thought about it.
Some things, short-term abandonment is to make more profits in the long run.
Luo Nan said calmly: "Mr. Liu, I understand your difficulties and your sincerity. Relativity Entertainment values every partner, no matter where this partner comes from."
Steve Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and the negotiations seemed to be going smoother than expected.
Ronan continued: "This cooperation is our first time. Relativity Entertainment also has enough sincerity to make more friends and partners. In this way, Relativity Entertainment can authorize the broadcast to you for free in the first two seasons of "Peppa Pig".
