After entering the door, he did not respond to his wife Lynne Spears' call, but only replied to let them eat first, and then went straight to the couple's bedroom with a thick stack of unknown materials.

Seeing this, Lynn Spears greeted the five children to eat first, and followed the bedroom curiously.

After entering the door, she found that her husband was sitting in front of her dressing table, reading seriously. Lynn Spears was a little funny. Her husband is just a construction worker, and he has no habit of reading on weekdays. Why is he suddenly so eager to learn today?

Stepping forward curiously, after a few glances, Lynn Spears was a little startled.

The materials in front of her husband were all printed information about the Michael Jackson case a few years ago.

Lynn Spears is not a fool. When her daughter came back in the morning, she chirped and showed off her past weekend experiences to her parents, siblings, yachts, diving, golf, a huge swimming pool, and a big gun. Move it, blah blah blah.

The husband then ran out for a whole morning.

Standing behind her husband for a while, Lynn Spears finally said with a slightly trembling voice: "Jamie, you... what are you going to do?"

Jamie Spears looked up at his wife behind him, with a drugged-like excitement in his expression.

After listening to his daughter's narration in the morning, he ran to a nearby Internet cafe, searched and copied the materials in front of him for a whole morning, and when his wife asked him, Jamie Spears found a recorder out of nowhere: " Lynne, we should talk to Bree first and get her words recorded as evidence."

Lynn Spears didn't follow the excitement, but inexplicably shivered down her spine: "Jamie, then, but Simon Westeros?"

"Of course I know," Jamie Spears said viciously, widening his eyes, as if to cheer himself up, "The Chandler family got 2000 million from Jackson, don't you think, if Simon West Luo, can we get at least two hundred million dollars?"

Lynn Spears swallowed subconsciously when she heard the figure of [-] million U.S. dollars, and felt that her body began to tremble slightly, but she did not lose her mind: "Jamie, but, Breehe, that...is in Mexico is beyond the control of Los Angeles."

"That's not a problem," Jamie Spears shook the recorder in his hand again: "Brie is our daughter, and if I ask her to say something, of course she will say something. For example, before Mexico, in fact, Simon Weigh Stroh dated our daughter two years ago, no, three years ago, um, that's it."

Lynn Spears certainly knew that her daughter had no relationship with Simon Westeros three years ago, her voice was a little trembling: "Jamie, you, this is forged evidence."

Jamie Spears, who was obviously under some kind of great pressure because he was about to do something, stood up and glared at his wife: "If Simon Westeros doesn't give us money, then we will make a big deal, Like Michael Jackson did back then, who cares whether the matter is true or not, he must give us money, [-] million U.S. dollars, at least [-] million U.S. dollars!"

Lynn Spears took a step back in fright from her husband's sudden hysteria, stood still and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I, I think, if you want Bree to tell lies, it should...it shouldn't be easy."

"I'm ready for this too," Jamie Spears reached into his trouser pocket for a moment, and took out a small transparent bag with a few pills in it: "I checked on the Internet, and it seems that Chandler did it in the first place." of."

Lynn Spears saw the pills in her husband's hand, and immediately widened her eyes: "What is this, you can't give Bree these indiscriminately."

As he spoke, he still wanted to step forward and snatch it.

Jamie Spears pushed his wife away, quickly took out a piece from the plastic bag and stuffed it into his mouth, stretched his neck and swallowed it, then continued to stare and said: "Look, it's okay, Lynn, this Don't worry about it, you just need to wait for our family to become billionaires. Billionaires, when the time comes, I will also live in Beverly Hills, and New York, the Upper East Side, I will buy a car on the Upper East Side The best villa. No, no, I don’t need to buy it at all, this should be the condition of Simon Westeros’ reconciliation with us!”

Chapter 1193 Fast Food

Because the 1997 fiscal year ended in September, the beginning of October was the busiest period for Daenerys Entertainment. Not only the annual financial report to be released at the end of the middle of the month, but also various business departments of the group are conducting various Various financial year summaries are accompanied by various summary or outlook meetings with a tight schedule.

Today's recording department meeting was chaired by Simon himself, and Amy Pascal also attended, as well as Richard Palmes, CEO of Daenerys Records Group, and Barry, president of Infinity Records, which focuses on cultivating Teen Pop singers. Weiss and other executives.

As Daenerys Entertainment is gradually approaching a bottleneck in the film and television business, Simon has attached great importance to the group's music, game and other businesses in recent years.

However, even though Daenerys Records has top names in various genres such as Guns and Roses, Backstreet Boys, and Cher, the film and television soundtrack business is also thriving because of Daenerys Entertainment's strength in related aspects. The phenomenon-level "American Idol" quickly delivered fresh blood to the record department. However, under the impact of the Internet, the decline of the traditional record industry made it impossible for anyone to stop it.

Compared with industry diehards such as Sony Records, even Daenerys Records is the most enthusiastically embracing the Internet, growth has slowed significantly in recent years.

Fortunately, compared with Sony, EMI and many other established record giants that have experienced negative growth in performance and started to fall into losses, Daenerys Records, which is still able to maintain positive growth, has performed brilliantly in the industry.

The relatively outstanding performance of Daenerys Records after actively embracing the Internet has also caused many old record giants who hate the Internet to gradually begin to compromise. Even Sony Records, while promoting its own digital music players, has to gradually submit to Tinko. The Broadcast music mall under Bayer delivers copyrighted content.

Because not doing so will only allow pirated resources of corresponding content to completely occupy the market.

Speaking of it, Simon did not allow any internal doubts to force Daenerys Records to embrace the Internet, which is also the reason.

Make a template for everyone to follow.

The content of today's meeting has nothing to do with the Internet. The main topic of discussion is not only the revenue and profit of the recording department in the past year, but also the change of the overall strategy of the recording department.

In one word: fast food.

With the advent of the Internet age and the explosion of information, it will become less and less easy for people to pay attention to certain people and certain things for a long time.

The music industry officially does.

Therefore, what Daenerys Records Group has to do is to speed up the creation and iteration of its singers.

In fact, Daenerys Records has had this trend in recent years. The typical one is the singers created by American Idol. The third session of this year has just started broadcasting, and many singers who ranked first in the first session have been forgotten. .

Just like the Internet, since trends are inevitable, take the initiative to adapt.

In addition, the traditional music industry has undergone drastic changes due to the impact of the Internet, which has also begun to affect the public's consumption habits. Even if the audience in the Western music industry is the same as movies, it can be called all age groups, but in the future, like movies, the core consumer groups will also become more and more More focus on young people.

These all need to be adjusted.

Then there is the last topic of this meeting, expansion.

This is not talking about geographical expansion. Daenerys Records has successfully extended its tentacles to Europe, Asia, and even Latin America and other major music markets in the world over the years. Therefore, this expansion is mainly due to acquisitions and mergers.

The goal is the singer, and more for the content.

Under the excellent copyright protection system, the million-level music content accumulated by major record giants and even hundreds of years is still precious even after many years.

Daenerys Records can be described as the biggest shortcoming in this regard. Compared with Sony, EMI and other established giants with million-level music content, even if they annexed Universal Music at the beginning, they have developed rapidly in recent years, but their foundation is shallow after all.Because the original Universal Music, carefully speaking, can only be ranked at the bottom of the large record giants.

Universal, which was originally ranked alongside Sony, Warner and other established record giants in time and space, is actually the result of the massive expansion and mergers and acquisitions in the Seagram era.

This time, it is no longer Seagram who once controlled Paramount, because of the changes in the Hollywood landscape, it is still a bit difficult to digest the current Paramount, and it is difficult to conquer the record industry like it used to be. Danielle Si Entertainment just made up for this.

The preferred target is also the same as Seagram once was: Polygram.

The London-based veteran record giant Polygram Group is also a large record giant after a long period of mergers and integrations. Speaking of which, if it weren’t for Simon, the big butterfly, Polygram successfully excavated and produced four weddings and one in the 90s. "Funeral", Notting Hill" and other blockbuster films tentatively named film industry team, in the film and television circles can be described as flourishing.

Unfortunately, everything has changed now.

Simon has won the core of the tentatively named film industry in advance, coupled with the early arrival of the Internet age and the rapid impact on the record industry, PolyGram's life has become increasingly difficult in recent years.

Next, the Asian financial turmoil will spread to the world, and the global economy will experience a short-term trough. The record industry, which is already in rapid decline, will inevitably make the situation worse. This is the best time for Daenerys Entertainment to make a move.

The meeting lasted all morning.

At the end of the meeting, everyone left the conference room together, because the office of the recording department is in the Universal Studios in Burbank on weekdays, it is not easy to meet, so we had a simple dinner together.

In a management restaurant in the administrative area.

A buffet-style lunch was convenient for everyone to communicate on their own. Simon and Richard Palmes, CEO of Daenerys Records Group, talked about some details about the planned acquisition of Polygram, and found Barry Weiss.

The godfather of teenage pop, who once created top Teen Pop stars such as Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys in the 90s, was dug into Daenerys Records by Simon. The Backstreet Boys, once dug under Simon's guidance, have produced some other fine teen pop acts in recent years.

The next focus of Barry Weiss' work is to promote Justin Timberlake, Ryan Gosling, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilery, which Simon acquired from Disney's disbanded Mickey Mouse Club a few years ago. Pull and wait for a group of boys and girls.

It wasn't about Britney and the others.

At the beginning, it was more due to the memory of the previous life that these little guys were recruited.

With the changes in wealth, status, identity, mentality, etc., many celebrities in memory are becoming more and more indifferent to Simon.

Therefore, the topic discussed by Simon and Barry Weiss was about fast food: "Barry, we couldn't discuss too much in the meeting just now. It is a very critical issue. What do you think is the most difficult thing about fast food?"

Barry Weiss thought about it for a while, and said, "To attract attention, I mean, to attract the most public attention in the shortest possible time."

"That's right," Simon nodded with a smile, "Then what do you think should be done?"

Barry Weiss said honestly: "Simon, as far as the cost allows, frankly, I don't have an answer yet. However, with the media resources owned by Daenerys Entertainment, I have to say that we are now the easiest A company that is well packaged and marketed."

"But the problem has not been fundamentally resolved."

"Yes," Barry Weiss nodded, and smiled again: "Simon, you must have the answer, right?"

"I did a singing group in Ukraine, you should know?"

"Well, the Holy Maidens, they performed some performances in Atlantic City in the first half of the year. We helped with some planning, and the response was not bad. However, because they don't have English songs for the time being, their influence is limited. Oh, Simon, If you want, I can help them make an English album."

Simon smiled and said: "No need, their style is too formal, I mean, think about the saints, do you have any inspiration?"

Barry Weiss thought for a while, a little uncertain, but also a little clear: "Simon, you mean, group mode?"

"To be precise, it is a uniform group model," Simon said, and continued to add: "Imagine a row of girls with beautiful faces, slender waists, and slender thighs standing together on the stage, what can happen? What kind of effect?"

Barry Weiss suddenly thought about it for a while, but couldn't help but said: "Simon, in this case, it will be even more difficult for a single singer to be remembered. Isn't this too fast food?"

"Let's try it first," Simon said, "I just had an idea some time ago, called the Spice Girls Group, looking for five girls with similar image and temperament, the most important thing is the same height, so that it looks more uniform, but It can’t be the same, every girl has her own style code, for example, fashion hot girl, sports hot girl, crazy hot girl, etc., you choose first, and then I will give you a single, which is a test of water.”

Seriously, the "some time ago" in Simon's words was already several months ago.

I went to the UK in the first half of the year and found that the Spice Girls were dropped by butterflies just like the Harry Potter series, so I kept it in my heart for a while, and then forgot it.

Mainly because I didn't feel it.

Although the Spice Girls became popular all over the world in the 90s and sparked a global upsurge of follow-up girl groups, but with the aesthetics of Simon's later generations, looking at those girls is simply hard to describe.

In comparison, Simon feels that the model of Korean girl groups is more mature.

The reason why they are mature is that apart from South Korea's systematic trainee system, there is also, yes, uniformity.Even if it is pushed wave after wave, it is indeed easy to attract more public attention in the shortest time under all kinds of pleasing to the eye.Later, the female group models in Europe, America, Japan, and Taiwan gradually declined. Only South Korea has been thriving and exported to the outside world. Although there are many reasons, the uniformity that can attract the audience's attention in the shortest time is definitely one of the keys. .

In addition, since he has no feeling for the colorful style of the former Spice Girls, Simon simply revised it to a girl group model that is more in line with his own aesthetics.

As for whether it can be successful?

Simon’s ideas for the following team in many aspects have been proven. Compared with the original, the success rate is definitely much higher. Even if it is not successful, it doesn’t matter. wrong space.

Barry Weiss felt that this matter was basically appropriate after hearing that his boss said that he would come up with a single himself.

Over the years, the singles that my boss has put out are not too many, and absolutely not too many, and each song is the kind that is enough to support the title of an album.

After making up his mind, Barry Weiss said: "Simon, if I choose a combination, I will need about three months, plus training, and making MV. All in all, I can test the waters next Easter, which is very good." A point in time."

Simon didn't want Barry Weiss to hurry up and nodded, "No problem."

When the matter was settled, Barry Weiss immediately changed his smiling face again: "Simon, can you take out the single you mentioned first, heh, the two singles you gave to Bree and Tina recently, boss, are great. I look forward to every piece of your music, Boss."

Simon also laughed and said, "I'll pass it to you when I find time."

Barry Weiss nodded again, and then said, "By the way, boss, Britney and Christina, do you have anything special to say?"

Today is July 10th, Thursday.

Simon returned from Mexico on Monday, and then he took out two famous songs by Britney and Christina for Barry Weiss to operate. Barry Weiss is not stupid, and after a little inquiry, he will probably understand What, pay more attention to the two girls.

Simon shrugged: "No, just let them follow the rules."

Barry Weiss didn't say much.

However, of course, it is impossible to really follow the rules. It is one thing what the boss says, and if some words are really followed, it is a lack of emotional intelligence.

So chatting, after lunch, the music department returned to Burbank together.

After sorting out the contents of the meeting in the morning, he quickly arranged the affairs of the Spice Girls. He was so busy until he was about to leave work. Barry Weiss took time to rush to a practice room in the music department.

In recent years, the boys and girls of the Mickey Mouse Club have been trained here.The official debut is about to happen, and the boys and girls have been working harder in training recently.

Barry Weiss stood at the door of the practice room and looked at Christina and Britney who were practicing dancing for a while. Christina was fine, but Britney seemed a little sick. A dance teacher with a good figure asked, "Lisa, what's going on with Bray?"

The dance teacher named Lisa just shook her head: "I don't know too well. Britney has been like this for the past two days. She seems to be sick and listless. I asked, and she said she was fine, and she asked the doctor to check. I don't have a cold or a fever, probably, I didn't rest at night."

Chapter 1194 The Plan Can't Keep Up With Changes

Hearing this, Barry Weiss looked at Britney for a moment, thought of something, frowned slightly, and said to Lisa, "Go and check... By the way, who checked Britney?"

"Doctor Scott."

"You go...forget it, I'll go by myself."

Lisa didn't know why, and just watched Barry Weiss leave in a hurry.

Barry Weiss came to a nearby infirmary, found a middle-aged doctor who was already clearing the table and waiting to get off work, sent away the other people in the infirmary, and asked, "Ryan, what about Bray, can you help her?" inspection?"

Seeing Barry Weiss, the middle-aged doctor named Ryan Scott also showed a cautious expression, sat down again, nodded and said, "I wanted to tell you tomorrow, Barry, it's like this, I feel, that The girl is like... I mean, maybe you could give her a drug test."

The music circle in the United States is even more chaotic than the film and television circle. Barry Weiss is considered an old man in the circle. He has seen everything that should be seen. That said, basically sure.

However, after thinking about it for a while, Barry Weiss felt horrified.

This matter should never be asked too much.

Even, you must pretend that you don't know anything.

Things are actually easy to associate.

Britney Spears may be the new favorite of her boss during this period, and the big shots, after reading all the stories, will inevitably come up with some new ways to play.

Thinking he had figured it out, Barry Weiss looked serious, and said to the middle-aged man in front of him: "Ryan, I only remind you once, if you don't want to lose your job or even cause more trouble, you should It’s good to pretend that you don’t know anything.”

The middle-aged doctor also nodded: "Of course I understand, Barry, that's why I just plan to tell you quietly."

Seeing that the other party understood, Barry Weiss explained a few more words, left the infirmary, and returned to the practice room just now, just in time to see Britney's mother, Lynn Spears, coming to pick up her daughter.
