Chapter 1283 Sister Zhao's Request?
competitor?
"Washington post"?
Yang Cheng hesitated and asked, "About the positioning of the two newspapers?"
Spielberg immediately gave the answer, "If you have to tell the good from the bad, the New York Times is undoubtedly the good and won in the end."
If this is the case, Yang Cheng thinks it is not unacceptable, after all, no matter how good a famous Peking opera actor is, he needs his colleagues to set off.
"Okay, I have no problem here, but for the movie, I still need Donna's advice. Once you decide on the script framework, New Era Pictures will start the project immediately. By the way, what is the initial budget? "
"The investment cost for this kind of biographical film is not too high, and DreamWorks Studios will bear part of the investment."
If Spielberg did not let DreamWorks participate, Yang Cheng would feel strange, "This is not a problem, this film focuses on the route to the awards, and more investment should be used for awards public relations."
"Yes, I agree~"
The two of them set the course of the film project in a few words, and then the screenwriter brought by Spielberg asked Dean Baquet questions about the plot, and all of them were answered one by one.
The meeting lasted until the evening, and Yang Cheng stayed with him all the time, and the meeting was postponed several times.
The conversation can't be dry, drink a glass of wine from time to time, eat some snacks, and drank 5 bottles of red wine in one afternoon. Towards the end, both Yang Cheng and Spielberg are slightly drunk, and the female screenwriter who can't drink has already I can't walk in a straight line.
Finally, Spielberg joked, "It seems that the red wine here is better~"
Yang Cheng smiled, "You are welcome to come often in the future."
After seeing off the guests, Yang Cheng went to the bathroom to wash his face, sobered himself up, and went to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel non-stop. Tonight's Chinese party will be held here.
However, when he set off, it was just in time for the rush hour in Manhattan, the road was blocked, and it was only a few blocks away, so it took him more than an hour to get there. At this time, the banquet had already started, and the Chinese still liked to eat while eating. Talk about things.
Under the guidance of the waiter, I found the table of my father and my mother, and sat down, startling the people at the same table.
Liu Yun saw the sweat on his son's forehead,
He blamed, "Did you go to the gym? Why are you sweating so much?"
Yang Cheng was very hungry, picked up chopsticks and ate a few pieces of crispy duck, stuffed a few spoonfuls of fried rice, suppressed the feeling of emptiness in his stomach, and then said, "Don't mention it, Spielberg's team and I Talked all afternoon, drank a lot of wine, didn't eat anything to satisfy my hunger, and starved to death."
Yang Cheng didn't know the people at this table very well, but they were all brought by their families. It seemed that they were fresh blood from Flushing. When they saw Yang Cheng, no matter men, women or children, they were all cautious.
Yang Sen put down his chopsticks and asked curiously, "Spielberg? Is New Era Pictures going to cooperate with DreamWorks?"
Yang Cheng hummed, "It's a small-budget award-winning project. You also know that New Era Pictures lacks the recognition of the academy, so it attaches great importance to this kind of award-winning film. It just so happens that Spielberg also had this idea, and we hit it off right away."
The occasion was not right, Yang Sen didn't ask much, but Liu Yun didn't care so much, "Tell me when the premiere is on, and I'll cheer you up."
Yang Cheng was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that her mother preferred niche literary and artistic films, and it would be better if there were some elements of love.
"Understood, mom. Actually, you don't need to go to the premiere. When the movie comes out, I'll just ask for a copy and we can watch it at home."
Liu Yun had her own thoughts, "Stop talking nonsense, and give me a few more qualifications for the red carpet."
Yang Cheng heard some subtext, "Mom, are you going to win newcomers?"
Liu Yun said half helplessly and half proudly, "You, don't be so smart."
Yang Cheng is speechless, why don't you let me speak?
Looking up at the main stage, he asked strangely, "Why didn't the Zhao family speak?"
Liu Yun smiled playfully, and whispered in Yang Cheng's ear, "It's all over, it's a good show, it's a pity you didn't watch it."
Yang Cheng became interested, "Tell me, the Zhao family is making a fool of themselves again?"
"A congressman supported by the Zhao family was suddenly investigated by F~B~I, and was taken away while eating."
Yang Cheng's eyes widened, "So bloody? What happened? Corruption?"
Yang Sen stopped him, "Okay, don't talk nonsense here."
Yang Cheng understood, and started eating sullenly again. When he was full, the Yang family was ready to leave.
Who would have thought that just after they got up, Zhao Anqi trotted over in high heels, and said apologetically to the Yang family, "Brother Yang, sister-in-law, and Jason, can I trouble you to move to the side hall?"
Yang Cheng is a junior, so it's not easy to express opinions. She just hides behind and winks at Zhao Anqi where no one else is paying attention. It's purely a prank.
Zhao Anqi just pretended not to see it, or she was not in the mood to quarrel with Yang Cheng at the moment, but just stared at Yang Sen, waiting for him to make a decision.
Yang Sen hesitated for a long while before agreeing reluctantly, "Let's go, you lead the way~"
. . .
It was said to be a side hall, but it was actually a suite upstairs. When the Yang family entered, the eldest sister of the Zhao family was pacing in the living room alone, looking restless.
"Sister, Brother Yang and the others are here."
As soon as Yang Cheng entered the door, she casually sat on the sofa. After they exchanged greetings, Zhao Anqi sat next to Yang Cheng very naturally, and a tempting fragrance blew over with the breeze.
"A Sen, I haven't seen you for a long time~" Sister Zhao forced a smile, but she still tried her best to be as calm and polite as possible.
Yang Sen smiled and shook hands with Eldest Sister Zhao, "Yes, Eldest Sister, the communication between our two families has become less and less these years."
Sister Zhao took the initiative to take responsibility, "This is my problem, and we will keep in touch in the future."
Yang Sen said in disbelief, "That would be great~"
Sister Zhao obviously didn't intend to talk nonsense, and said directly, "I would like to invite you to come here, because I have something to ask."
Yang Sen and Liu Yun looked at each other, and said grandly, "Please tell me, we will never refuse what we can do."
Yang Cheng sat sideways on the sofa, with her arms resting on the back of the sofa and one foot crossed, looking very comfortable, while Zhao Anqi approached quietly, as if she was being embraced by Yang Cheng's arms from the front Same.
But everyone was talking about things, and no one noticed their small movements.
"You have also seen what happened at the beginning of the banquet just now. A congressman we supported was taken away without warning. F~B~I did not give a reason, but only said to cooperate with the investigation, but the investigation No one knows anything." Sister Zhao became more and more excited as she spoke, as if she had been wronged by the sky.
Yang Sen thought for a while, and tried to ask, "Has the transaction between you been discovered?"
He did not specifically point out the monetary transaction, which was well known.
Zhao Xiaolan firmly shook her head in denial, "Impossible, our relationship is very clean."
Yang Cheng couldn't hold it back, and sneered, is this a lie?
As a result, the faces of several people changed at the same time, and Yang Sen deliberately reprimanded with a straight face, "Be careful~"
Liu Yun was very protective, and said lightly, "Did you eat too much at night? Why are you hiccupping?"
Zhao Anqi was helpless, only Sister Zhao's face was ashen, but she was helpless, she couldn't educate his son in public in front of Yang Sen, could she?
Don't look at Yang Sen who seemed very dissatisfied with Yang Cheng's performance just now, but if an outsider really has a pig's nose with green onions - if it is pretending, Yang Sen will definitely be the first one to turn his face.
Yang Cheng smiled and shook her head, and explained insincerely, "Sorry, maybe I drank too much wine in the afternoon, and I'm a bit over the top, you guys continue."
Yang Sen took the initiative to change the topic, "So big sister, what can we do?"
Zhao Xiaolan couldn't care less about Yang Cheng's problems anymore, but she still looked at Yang Cheng vaguely, and said, "If possible, I would like to ask you to help check it out, and if possible, release him. Come out, the Zhao family is grateful."
This request can be said to be reasonable, but unexpected. Since they are here, they must want to ask the Yang family for help, but it is unbelievable to say it. After all, in terms of ZZ resources, the Zhao family has strengthened the Yang family. More than a few grades, it seems that there is no reason to ask the Yang family for help.
unless. . .
Unless the Zhao family thinks this matter has something to do with the Yang family?
Thinking of it this way, Yang Cheng's face turned ugly, but with his father around, he couldn't just get angry directly, so he had to bear it first and see what he said next.
In fact, Yang Sen also asked the same question, "Eldest sister, with all due respect, if the Zhao family can't do anything about it, our family can't help it."
Yang Cheng nodded secretly, her father could still speak.
As a result, Sister Zhao just glanced at Yang Cheng from the corner of her eye, and said swearingly, "If it was about other things, I wouldn't ask you for help, but this time, apart from the Yang family, I can't think of anyone to ask for help. "
This sounds very awkward, even if you have a slow mind, you may not be able to turn around. Fortunately, none of you are stupid, so it is not that difficult to understand.
But the problem came again, I saw Yang Sen stood up suddenly, looking like he was about to go crazy, but he said it calmly, "Elder sister, you said before that you didn't understand what happened, and now you say that only our family can do it." Help me out, don’t you think the rhetoric is contradictory?”
Sister Zhao smiled wryly, "We haven't found out anything else, but the person leading the team has something to do with the Yang family, or to put it simply, with Jason."
For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Yang Cheng, which made him more stressed.
"Ms. Zhao, you can take medicine indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. I have never conspired against the Zhao family. Don't charge me with unwarranted charges." Yang Cheng said with a stern expression, faintly revealing a warning mean.
Sister Zhao waved her hand, "Jason, don't get excited, I didn't say you did this, I just said that the person who led the team knew you, if possible, please help me find out, this operation What is the purpose?"
