Chapter 1062? Dizzy

"Goodbye, dear."

On Saturday morning, Shakira handed the luggage to the assistant, turned around and hugged the man, "Remember to miss me."

"I'll wait in the car." Estefan disappeared thoughtfully.

"Goodbye is next year." Song Ya said with a smile.

"Um……"

Shakira just put her head on the man's chest, wanting to be gentle for the last time, when the giggles of the child suddenly reached her ears, and she saw that little Robb had already run out of the door, "Daddy!" hugging the man's leg and acting coquettishly .

"Haha, what's the matter, my son? Where's Mommy?"

Song Ya picked up the baby's eldest son, teased him twice with the tip of his nose, and let him ride on his neck.

Shakira instantly felt that she was an outsider. After living here for so many days, even though she paid great attention to avoiding contact with Xue Linfen and the children, the lively little Robb still often appeared suddenly, breaking the relationship between her and her lover. World, once called herself a maid, although there is nothing strange about Tong Yanwuji, and there are indeed several Latin maids in Highland Park, but she always...

She looked at the cheerful father and son affectionately, she looked away lonely, and happened to notice Xue Linfen standing in front of the window on the second floor.

"Get in the car, it's too cold outside." Song Ya reached out to help her clean up the snowflakes that fell on her blond hair.

She knew that Xue Linfen was also watching her, and the pungent vigor of the Latin girl suddenly came to the fore, jumping up like a dancer and hanging around the man's neck, her legs were directly wrapped around the man's waist, and her red lips were printed on her own initiative.

"Well……"

After a long French kiss, the two separated. She smiled at little Robb who was staring blankly at the scene with confused eyes, and then ran into the car lively, "Bye..."

"Hey, goodbye..."

'brush! '

When she poked her head out of the car window to wave goodbye, she found that the curtains on the second floor had been drawn.

"Let's drive."

Estefan sighed silently. When the driver drove the car out of the gate of Highland Park, it happened to pass by the long black Mercedes convoy that was connected end to end. "Will any big shots come today?" he asked.

"Someone from Fox Films, right? I heard last night that he was going to sign a contract." Shakira answered the agent's question.

"Project Titanic?"

"Yes, it seems to be called that name."

"In the future, if you have a chance, you can pay more attention to his business affairs and help him as much as you can."

"In the future..." Shakira turned her head and looked sadly at the Highland Park in the heavy snow.

When the two were talking, Song Ya was already at the door to greet the signing team led by Fox Group President Peter Cherning. This typical Jewish elite had a very high status in News Corporation and was appreciated by Murdoch. The former media tycoon, Barry Diller, who was able to compete with Redstone in a tens of billions-level acquisition battle, lost badly, but recently he seems to have regained the trust of some capital and made a comeback And once again met the same target with Lei Shidong: the CBS television network.

Pulling away, "Welcome, Mr. Chernin."

Song Ya hugged Little Robb and shook hands with Fox, and led a dozen senior executives and lawyers into the house, "Sorry, there was a party here last night...the hall still needs to be cleaned up."

"We came a little early." Peter Cherning said with a smile: "The manor is beautiful."

"Thank you, please follow me."

Leading a group of people around the traces of the party in the hall, the guests and hosts sat down separately. On my side, Goodman and Hamlin Law Firm, Yeremov and A+ Film Studio, Coopers Chicago Branch, and CNA Insurance Company Everyone is already waiting.

The reason why the two sides have such a big battle is that some contract details have not been finalized until today, and Song Ya and Chernin must wait for face-to-face communication and finalization.

"Are you also working for APLUS?"

It was a surprise that Chernin recognized a famous Los Angeles lawyer who often dealt with while shaking hands.

"Yes, my law firm has merged with Goodman's." The other party replied with a smile.

"I haven't heard..."

"It's just been officially signed.

"

"That's it."

Fox really can't wait any longer. This is no secret in Hollywood. If they hadn't learned about their attitude through Xiao Lizi's message, they might have swallowed all the harsh conditions of Paramount last month. Before the official negotiation, Cherning Maybe he had no intention of slapping his face to make him fat again. He shook his head and complained helplessly: "Cameron threatened me that if we don't continue to support the Titanic project, he will commit suicide, randomly cut his films, and commit suicide too. The project failed. ,suicide……"

Everyone in the audience laughed in agreement. As long as the sunk cost is high enough, the director will become the master of the production company. I heard that the preparations for the Titanic project have been started four or five years ago, and no one in Hollywood can do it, or dare to Take over Cameron's job halfway.

"Then let's get started."

In short, success depends on today, a lot of things are involved, Song Ya glanced at the time and returned Little Robb to Xue Linfen who came to bring tea and water, and started to work.

The dispute between the two parties is mainly about the box office share. Fox has already invested 150 million yuan. Just divide according to this ratio.

"It is impossible for us to accept APLUS. The cost of publicity and distribution must be taken into account. For a super-big production that costs 210 million yuan, at least tens of millions will be spent on global publicity and distribution."

Chernin and Bill McKennick did not refuse to divide the share according to the proportion of their contributions, but both insisted on dividing it after deducting the cost of publicity and distribution at the global box office.

"We deserve a top-tier sharing model."

Yeremov said: "This money can save Fox, everyone in the industry, Mr. Chernin."

How to calculate the cost of publicity and distribution is too tricky, and Yeremov is of course clear.

"If it's a 50 million project, it's okay to split it like this, but Titanic... If you don't want to lose money and announce it, you can't save money. It's a gamble anyway, so there's no reason not to try your best when it's on the table." Bier Mai Kennick said.

The two sides negotiated back and forth on this issue for almost half an hour, "Mr. Cherning." Song Ya called Cherning into the study alone.

"How much are you going to spend on publicity?" he asked.

When Cherning entered the door, he noticed the photo frame on the small table. He picked it up and stared at the faces of his boss and other bosses for a while, then put it down and replied, "At least another 60 million is needed."

"How do you plan to raise money?" Song Ya asked again.

"If your money can come in, it will bring more confidence to the market, we can borrow a sum of money from the bank, and director Cameron will also give up the entire film salary of 8 million, like Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump. As in the pass project, it will be replaced by the box office share in the later period. In short, we have to piece things together, everyone has to live together, and everyone has to die together.”

Chernin made no secret of what happened to all those involved in the project's failure.

"Fifty million, I calculate based on the fixed figure of 50 million for publicity and distribution costs, which has already exceeded the total investment of most Hollywood projects, and then..."

Song Yaxin did some calculations, adding 210 million plus 50 million and dividing by 60 million, the answer is almost 23%, "Then I will share 25% of the global box office."

Since there are too many tricks, then simply give up the intrigue with the other party, "It is calculated according to a fixed number, and the subsequent video tapes are the same. I don't care how much the video costs, how much the channel is divided, and whether there are any promotional items. Every piece of Titanic sold DVD, I want to pay 3.50 dollars, old-fashioned video tape... soundtrack CD... peripheral products such as large ship models..."

He reported the different sharing conditions of the whole chain that he had discussed earlier. In the same way, he tried his best to avoid the other party's tricks. I can't stand it myself.

The total global box office is easy to calculate, and the total sales of DVDs, CDs, and video tapes are not so easy to hide.

"Twenty-four percent." Chernin should be able to accept it, so he paid back a small amount first.

"No, no, on this condition, if you don't agree, you can go back to Paramount. I think what I'm asking for is much, much lower than theirs."

Song Ya waved his hands again and again, and pointed out very seriously: "And regarding some matters other than the contract, I think we should have a tacit understanding. A few days ago, FoxNews anchor Hannity was still talking nonsense in his column, although I will give it tomorrow. Strong response, but this kind of boring conflict should not continue. To tell you the truth, I even suspect that you are deliberately playing carrots and sticks for today's signing... I understand some ways of doing things for business, but After today..."

"You misunderstood, and I don't want to explain anything. I will find a way when I go back."

Cherning took the test for a while and said, "All the conditions will be adjusted down according to the time ladder, right?"

"certainly."

The longer the movie was released, the more the theaters would split up, and it was impossible for Fox to take a quarter of the total box office in the later stage, Song Ya nodded.

It was already a very very kind condition. Chernin was even overjoyed at the youthful but vigorous young man in front of him who didn't take the opportunity to open his mouth. He rubbed his chin and pretended to meditate again, and finally stretched out his hand with a smile, "Then we That's a deal?"

"It's settled." The two held hands together.

The masters of the country have unified their thinking, and the subsequent details of the negotiations will go smoothly, but this will still be a super large and complicated film project investment contract.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the negotiations were almost finalized, and the lawyers typed out the thick contract text.

Song Ya took a pen to make the final confirmation. The 60 million will be divided into four calls to Fox. The first tranche is 30 million for life-saving, which will be handed over to CNA by A+ copyright and investment management company to make an investment product. It is now mid-December , before the end of the year, CNA is also responsible for completing the guarantee.

Before, because the bail regulations did not allow him to go abroad, the full score global tour was postponed indefinitely. CNA compensated Anschutz a sum of money, and now it is time to pay back the personal account, because according to the law, the insurance company is It cannot be compensated, but it is still unclear because of the conviction or not, and it is currently in a vague area. This is not the same as the MJ case. MJ and the father and son had a civil settlement. The insurance company must have jumped out and said that it was impossible to compensate him for the losses caused by the lawsuit, such as tours and advertisements, otherwise he would be targeted by the management department.

The last 30 million will be handed over to the A+ film studio early next year, and Yeremov will be in charge of decision-making and scheduling. Before the release of Titanic in the summer of 1997, it will be credited in the form of 10 million each time. Yeremov, who has acquired a small amount of shares in the A+ film studio, is enthusiastic about his work, making him keep a close eye on Fox, and stop losses in time if the momentum is not good.

Therefore, the income of the two sums is about half of the A+ copyright and investment management company and the A+ film studio.

"Then... that's it."

Song Ya took a deep breath and dropped the tip of the pen, which means that after a week, there will be tens of millions of knives that do not belong to him. For the time being, um, it must be temporary.

"How can you make the money for selling A+ records so quickly?"

He thought to himself.

His thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the sound of car horns outside, "William and Susie are here." Xue Linfen came over and said, "And Pastor Jesse Jackson."

Oh, the lineup that will accompany me to Springfield City tomorrow is arriving one after another, "Take them upstairs first, I'll be right here soon. Welcome! William, Jesse!" Song Ya raised her hand to the pastor who entered the door to say hello, Speed ​​up the signing process.

"Welcome, Pierre, and Mr. Jones, this is..."

More and more black people came, and Xue Linfen assumed the role of hostess. She stood at the door and looked at Pierre Sutton, president of the Inner City Broadcasting Company, and a young girl beside Quincy Jones.

"Rashida, my daughter." Quincy Jones introduced quietly, "Didn't you know each other in Florida?"

"No, oh, I remembered, I saw it in the bar over there." Xue Linfen extended her hand to Rashida Jones generously.

"Miss Finn." Rashida shook her hand weakly.

"When will your wedding with APLUS be held? Xuelin." Quincy Jones asked intentionally.

"Oh! I haven't planned yet." Xue Linfen sighed happily.

"Go in, Daddy."

Rashida pouted angrily, walked into the door, and saw APLUS who seemed to be surrounded by elites forever, and was busy signing. "Please go upstairs first...he will be back soon." Fern's voice fell on deaf ears, "Hi..." strode over to say hello.

Why are you here again? Song Ya raised her eyelids and glanced at her, "Rashida, wait a moment, I'm done."

"Uncle Peter."

Rashida recognized Peter Cherning who was directly opposite Song Ya. Her mother Peggy Lipton had a good relationship with him when she was still in Hollywood, and they were both Jewish.

"Ha, is it Peggy's daughter?"

Peter Chernin was stunned for a while before he recognized her, but when he saw the old scumbag Quincy Jones behind her, the smile on his face disappeared immediately, and the black man who went after the Jewish actress finally gave up. The expression on her face was a ghost, especially when Peggy Lipton was still the girl of her dreams when she was young. No way, artists are better at picking up girls, huh? Where do you want to go? He turned back and continued to concentrate on signing.

Quincy Jones, who was brutally ignored, couldn't help being a little embarrassed, and was obediently called away by Xue Linfen.

So Song Ya is very careful about this point, and never provokes the two types of women in Hollywood, Jewish girls and professional actresses from the West End of London. They have good resources, they will not ask for themselves, and they will be taken care of by the whole group. Even Drew Barrymore, who can play friendly games, pretends not to understand the hints, and even if those British actresses fail to break into Hollywood, they can still receive stylish historical dramas and remakes of classic classics opened by the BBC when they go back. The world-renowned British tabloids will also help them stand out when they are bullied, and their guns are unanimous.

"There will be a dinner party for you." After signing, Song Ya smiled at Rashida and the Fox people who stood awkwardly in place: "A combination of work and rest."

"All right."

With a sigh of relief, Chernin played the last signed document and handed it to Bill McKennick beside him, "Go to your study again?"

"no problem."

Song Ya got up and winked at Xuelinfen, "But before that, I still need to celebrate."

Xue Linfen quickly brought champagne, 'Boom! ’ Song Ya opened it with her own hands, and the cork flew into the air.

"You misunderstood me last time." Rashida said sadly while accepting that Song Ya poured the wine herself.

"I'm sorry, I was not in a good mood at the time."

Song Ya apologized abruptly, "Is the school on holiday?"

"It's Christmas, and I'm going to Springfield City tomorrow too..." the girl said.

"Thank you for coming to support me."

What else can I say? "Mr. Chernin?" Decisively disengaged.

Rashida Jones looked at the back of the man who was being supported upstairs by the president of the Fox Group, and unknowingly began to fall into a nympho again.

"ah!"

Unexpectedly, his calf was caught by something, and he looked down with an exclamation, "Hey..." It turned out to be a little mixed-race boy, who was hugging his leg and looking up and laughing.

"Robb, don't do this." Xue Linfen came to take the child away, "Do you know that this is wrong? Apologize to Miss Jones."

"It's okay, it's okay." She had no choice but to take a sip of champagne to hide her embarrassment.

"Yes, Barry Diller did not expect that the Fox Group would be sold to Mr. Murdoch. The two could not cooperate, and he was not willing to be subordinate to Mr. Murdoch, so he left..."

"Because Mr. Murdoch is an Australian, he was suppressed a lot at the beginning, and it was not easy."

"The most important thing for a top TV network? It may be resources such as stable global broadcast satellite channels. Fox got it by spending huge sums of money to acquire 19% of Hughes Electronics. They are the largest commercial satellite channels. supplier, also doing automotive electronics and defense weapons..."

"Yes, it is the company founded by the tycoon Howard Hughes, but it has already belonged to General Motors."

Chernin, who was in a much more relaxed mood, knew everything, and Song Ya chatted happily with him in the study, "APLUS! APLUS! Rashida!" But the atmosphere was soon spoiled by Quincy Jones' annoying voice, The old man seemed to be making a fuss outside the door, 'Boom! ’ The study door was also kicked heavily.

"This Nger! What's the matter!?" If he wasn't too busy, as long as he could remember Song Ya, he would tell Pierre Sutton not to call him.

"Open the door! Little pervert! Rashida!" It turned out that he was suspicious again.

Incessantly, "Mike, open the door."

Ask old Mike to open the door, and Quincy Jones, who was carried by the bodyguard and already drunk, immediately looked in, met Cherning's eyes, and immediately muttered something "disrespectful" and "open the door as soon as you open the door" and so on. , but finally stopped making trouble.

"The old man is not smart."

Old Mike closed the door, and Song Ya complained to Chernin.

"His daughter likes you, doesn't she?" Chernin smiled. "It's obvious, it's obvious."

"Probably, but I'm really not interested in this kind of father."

It's bad luck for her, Song Ya murmured in her heart.

"Honey, I need you below, the dinner party has begun."

The two continued to chat until Xue Linfen urged at the door.

The black celebrities who came to help endorse tomorrow's event needed to socialize, Song Ya and Cherning went downstairs.

But it was impossible to hide. In the early morning, after sending Fox and his party away, he staggered into the bedroom after drinking a lot, and Rashida followed him in from nowhere.

"I..." She lowered her head and twisted the corner of her skirt hesitantly.

It's really not enough to give up, "You should stay within your father's sight, don't you know how annoying he is?!" Song Ya was too lazy to take care of the girl's self-esteem, and said quietly.

"But...but I like you." Rashida blushed, and must have drunk a lot, confessed humbly with the strength of alcohol, and then began to sob.

"Sorry I don't have a girlfriend!"

Continuing to refuse cruelly, seeing this beautiful but Quincy Jones-like face has no appetite.

Unexpectedly, Rashida plunged into her arms instead, "I've been thinking about you since I left that day, and I can't forget you, even in class, and I'm not even in the mood to attend the sorority meeting... I know you didn't mean it that time Yes, any star will be angry when she sees a gossip, I don't blame you, but that is really a misunderstanding."

"Don't be like this, I won't be able to tell when that old thing sees me later." Song Ya straightened back and hid.

"No, he was already drunk, I am willing, I am willing to do anything! I don't need to be known by the media, I swear, even if it is just a secret between the two of us! Give me some good memories, APLUS, even for a minute , one second... moths to the flame, I am willing too!"

"Calm down Rashida."

Can't bear it, can't bear it, it's too enthusiastic, I can't bear it, Song Ya wanted to push her head away from her chest, but just as soon as she looked down and saw the girl's blond hair, she suddenly thought, looking at her face has no appetite, then Is it okay if I don’t look at it? As it is now, uh...

While hesitating and thinking, the girl's lips had already kissed her chest like raindrops, her hands were getting stronger and stronger, and her body was still lingering.

"A secret between the two of us?"

Too enthusiastic, too enthusiastic, Song Ya was a little bit unbearable to be teased, in fact, it would be nice to play a friendly match? Shakira happened to be gone.

If I refuse again, I will be worse than a beast...

"Well, our secret." The girl nodded firmly.

Okay, just wait for this sentence, Song Ya couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately twisted her body 180 degrees violently amidst her exclamation, facing the wall.

"Rashida! Rashida!"

Within a few minutes, Quincy Jones' haunting voice sounded outside the door again.

"I really convinced him." Song Ya felt like she was about to collapse.

"Just wait for him to leave..." Rashida said, sticking out her tongue.

"I'm afraid he's a bird!" Song Ya's eyes rolled, it would be better to kill that old thing, and he simply broke the jar and did the opposite.

"Rashida! Where did you go again..."

Quincy Jones searched all the way, and stopped outside the door where he could faintly hear some sounds, and put his ear on the wooden door...

"ah!"

A few seconds later, the old man's complexion changed drastically, he held his heart in pain, slipped slowly against the door, sat on the ground and gasped for a few rough breaths, and then lost consciousness.
