Chapter 509 Cross-Border Cooperation
Be alert! keen!
Harry was on full fire now, his whole brain was running at high speed, and he was absolutely vigilant about any figure that appeared near the City of Sound.
Click, click, click.
Harry pressed the shutter quickly, but when he thought about it carefully, there was no corresponding information in his mind. Maybe they were just two ordinary people, nothing special, but Harry's intuition didn't think so——< br>
There are no coincidences in the world.
However, Harry's mind was blank, without any corresponding information, and he still had too little understanding of the field of music.
After thinking about it, Harry took out his mobile phone and dialed a phone number.
Toot. beep.
After only two rings, the call was connected.
"Collin-Jones. Said."
Clean and to the point.
"Colin, Harry Pacey, do you have three minutes?"
"Oh, Harry, of course, you say. Ben and Jennifer have just entered a coffee shop, unless they Now enter the bathroom stall to linger, otherwise I should have three minutes."
"Ha, they really enjoy this time."
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez.
Since they fell in love in November last year, the two of them broke up with their existing lovers and got together. The couple put on a high profile and showed off their affection in public all the time, as if they were glued together. Conjoined twins.
As mentioned before, in the current entertainment industry, mysticism is slowly losing its halo, but overall, people are still not ready to fully open themselves up.
In the front, there was the golden couple of Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake dodging, and in the back there were Leonardo DiCaprio and Gisele Bundchen (Gisele- Bundchen) lovers are being chased and harassed. Recently, gossipy news about Tom Cruise, Matt Damon and Penelope Cruz has continued to flood the screen.
It is precisely because of this that the paparazzi's name is always linked to scandals. The artists are hiding and hiding, while the paparazzi is responsible for digging and exposing.
However, the couple Ben and Jennifer are different. They are extremely high-profile and show their love in front of the camera all the time. Their hands can hardly leave each other's bodies. They are absolutely shocking at the moment.
They even earned the title of "Bennifer" as a couple.
However, things must be reversed.
In fact, because their displays of affection were so frequent and so public, the general public was completely tired of watching them.
In late 2002, in a poll conducted by Entertainment Weekly, Ben and Jennifer topped the list of the most hated couples in America, surpassing conservative religious figures who were outraged by wearing necklaces of each other's blood. The repulsive couple Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton.
Incredibly, more than 80% of the general public expressed their desire for "Bennifer" to break up.
But, for now, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are enjoying the spotlight.
In fact, the paparazzi also know that they did it on purpose, including their managers, who have been adding fuel to the fire to increase their exposure.
Many times, two people are just walking normally, but after seeing the paparazzi, they suddenly become stuck together and become inseparable.
Everything is a show.
In other words, a business.
Whether the public likes it or not, the news about "Bennifer" feeds countless paparazzi and gossip magazines, and both Ben and Jennifer's careers also usher in new opportunities.
On the other end of the phone, Colin curled his lips.
"Honestly, I don't mind their high-profile, it's not difficult to shoot anyway; however, your three minutes have quietly gone by thirty seconds."
Harry was not surprised either——
Such is the daily life among paparazzi.
"I'm outside Sound City now..."
"What? What are you doing in Sound City? Who is going to record?"
Harry He is a professional paparazzi in the film field, and Colin is a professional paparazzi in the music field.
This time, it was Colin's turn to interrupt Harry.
Harry laughed dumbly, "You should pay me back the thirty seconds you owe me. I'm describing it, aren't I?" Then, Harry described the two figures he just saw in detail.
Colin pondered for a moment, "Well, I'm not 100% sure, but judging from the description, I think it matches the description of Dustin Thorne and Mike Donovan. "
"Which record company are they from?"
"Warner Records. I will give you some information, you can confirm it."
"Okay."
"Harry, I shared my wisdom, you won't just leave me here. If I remember correctly, they seem to be particularly interested in that Anson recently, of course , half of the music industry is interested in him now."
Paparazzi... are you sure it has nothing to do with dogs?
The sense of smell is so sharp!
Harry laughed dumbly, "Yes, it's Anson, but I need further confirmation."
"If it's Anson, this is a big exclusive. Who do you decide to give it to?"
"No, I don't have an idea for the moment. Let's see who offers the higher price?"
" Now these magazines have learned the lesson. Please pay attention. The last time I gave Entertainment Weekly a clue, they rejected it. As soon as I turned around, they notified their own paparazzi to confirm, and then threw me aside. I was also confused. "
"But, what can we do if we don't have a platform!"
"They are just bullying us retail investors because we don't have a union. If we unite, they will bow their heads. Give up.”
The back and forth of complaints and complaints did not continue, and Colin's voice tightened.
"Bennifer is out. I'll talk about it later."
Crack.
Colin just hung up the phone.
Harry sat in the driver's seat but fell into deep thought——
The thing is, whether it’s Anson’s news or Bennifer’s news, this is not a series of news that can be updated in a day or two.
It is as if Anson is in the City of Sound, Anson is preparing a new album, Anson is likely to have signed an album contract with Warner Records...
Each of these news is a big deal , there may be continuous updates in the future.
They are waiting hard on the front line, while the media and magazines are sitting back and enjoying the benefits, and they have to be picky and show their favor.
So, is there a way that they can firmly hold the exclusive and take the initiative, while still making money through their own work?
Network, network, network...
Harry's mind was running at high speed, and then, an idea came out.
Why doesn't he build a website? A website dedicated to paparazzi!
First, make full use of the convenience of the Internet age, update the news every minute, and collect all paparazzi’s exclusives.
Secondly, as long as the traffic increases, advertising revenue will continue to flow into their pockets, and they can set their own prices for exclusive revelations——
Peers do not bully peers and reduce price differences.
Thirdly, if newspapers and magazines like "Entertainment Weekly" want to reprint their exclusive news, there is no problem. They must either buy the exclusive news, indicate the source and reprint it, or cooperate with them; anyway, it is first-hand news. They must take the initiative.
Of course, Harry is not naive. He knows that this matter will definitely not be that simple, and will inevitably encounter many difficulties; but now the more he thinks about it, the more feasible it becomes.
Perhaps Anson and "Bennifer" are their chance?
He, do you want to take a gamble?
Thinking of this, Harry did not hesitate any longer. He believed in his intuition and inspiration. He quickly turned on the computer and was stunned when he looked at the registration website page.
So, what should the website be called?
It can’t be too vulgar or too boring.
Their main activity area in Los Angeles is about thirty miles, which symbolizes the gathering area of Hollywood celebrities. It might as well be called the "Thirty-miles Area"——
"TMZ (thirty-miles) -zone)".
