Chapter 1157 Heartless Person
"The Commander of Arkansas will be fine"
How do you say that this year's money has been paid one after another, the mid-term election of Congress, and Governor Peter Flock's re-election campaign, the investment is not small, just when Underwood came back from Capitol Hill, when the two met privately at a high-end fitness club at noon, Song Ya asked road.
"No, he always gets into trouble when it comes to women, but we're all used to it."
Underwood left the rowing machine with a smirk, "Do you need me to help you?"
"Thank you." Song Ya stretched out his hands and asked the other party to help him pull himself up from the rowing machine, "Wow, you still maintain such a good shape, almost the same as when I first met you eight years ago, Underwood gentlemen."
"haha, thank you."
Underwood looks slightly fat, but apart from a beer belly, his body is quite stocky, his arms are thick, and he has obviously been exercising for a long time, "go to drink something"
He is a bastard with an iron ticket who was protected by the party and the group. He didn't have much pressure to run for the election this year, so he was cheerful.
"Okay, but the doctor doesn't allow me to drink alcohol, and I have to go to class in the afternoon."
"It's okay, please."
After killing Motura, he and himself can be regarded as a blood alliance. The two went to the shower room first, and talked with each other in a relaxed and frank manner while washing.
There is no one else here, and Underwood began to talk about more important things, "In any case, this year this pass will pass and we will prepare for the post-Arkansas era, as, everyone puts their hopes for the next century on the deputy commander." on gore"
"I see."
The term of the current commander-in-chief has reached two thousand years. It has not been long since Song Ya also supported Gore, and asked, "What position will Deputy Commander Gore use to repay you?"
"Everything is still very complicated now, and I can't see clearly."
Underwood replied very directly, "In short, this year, I need to show control over the House of Representatives. I think this will be good for bargaining with Gore later."
"Don't worry, he needs Chicago."
Illinois is the blue highland among the agricultural states that support the Elephant Party in the Midwest. The reason is that most of the Donkey Party supporters are in the cities, and the number of votes in Chicago, a big city, can suppress the rural areas of the state. Whoever wins Chicago gets Illinois, and then It is very important to get all twenty chapters of electoral votes. There are not many electoral votes in the fifty states that exceed this number.
And Chicago's importance is even greater in the Donkey Party's party primary.
Song Ya now understands elections very well. No matter which donkey party candidate must buy Chicago politicians with heart, Gore's roots are in California, especially if he wants to compete for the whole country.
Underwood is very optimistic. Now the Donkey Party is the majority party in the House of Representatives. As a party whip, he is very handy in maneuvering and has helped the general to advance many bills. There is a lot of room to prepare for the next generation.
"as? can we chat"
When he walked into the law school in the afternoon with the Federalist Papers under his arm? It was the first time he was blocked by reporters outside the school gate? They would not normally come to harass the teachers and students of the law school? This time, what came forward was also a high-quality text reporter,
No camera equipment.
"Please say."
Song Ya continued to walk forward with obvious displeasure.
"I noticed that your 'thod single disc has been put on the shelves? When will the TV debut be, and v?" the reporter asked.
"Probably a day or two after Valentine's Day? It's all on TV."
"Will you spend this Valentine's Day with Shakira?"
"certainly."
"Okay, how do you think Titanic will perform in this Valentine's Day schedule? Will you call on your fans to watch it?"
"Absolutely? The big ship is a miracle. I am optimistic that it can continue to break the record of consecutive championships."
Is it difficult for Song Ya to cope with this kind of interview? The two of you walked towards the door without saying anything? "As, the last question, what do you think of David Geffen's public criticism of Ovitz yesterday?"
Song Ya stopped? Only then did he take a serious look at the other party, and he was able to ask himself such a question that was far from the topic? It must be with someone's mission, "Which newspaper are you from?"
"Los Angeles Times."
"Whoa!" That's right, the LA Times and David Geffen are on good terms.
The thing is like this, after that guy Ovitz has been tossing around in Silicon Valley, real estate, farms, and the media industry, he probably also replaced all his life savings and Disney's hundreds of millions of breakup fees into investments. Regardless, it is obvious that he has finally started to try to return to the place he is most familiar with, Hollywood.
Then he made a fool of himself and wanted to join forces again with his old brother from the entrepreneurial period in the CAA era and the current president of Universal Pictures, Ron Meyer.
Unexpectedly, Ron Meyer, who was very comfortable at Universal, turned around and sold him, and told Universal's boss Bronfman Jr. about the contact.
Bronfman Jr. was furious. When he was about to sell Global Television Network and acquire Polygram, how could someone set his own backyard on fire? How could he bear the temper of the rich three generations, and he was one of the few in Hollywood who did not dump Disney Emperor Eisner The boss of Ovitz’s ban order is now treated as a donkey’s liver and lungs with good intentions, and Ovitz backstabs him instead
He publicly denounced Ovitz, and David Geffen, who worked closely with Universal, followed suit, calling Ovitz a shameless traitor.
Everyone in the Universal Department immediately expressed their opinions, or expressed their loyalty, and Ovitz became a critic overnight.
Just to add a word, the novel a I am using recently, \Mi\Mi\Reading\Reading\a\\\Android and Apple phones support it!
So now it's my turn. David Geffen called last night to remind him that he must make a statement as soon as possible. After Ovitz was driven away by Eisner, he offended Bronfman Jr., plus caa, William Morris, etc. The brokerage tycoon who never wanted him to return, if he maintained his friendship, it would be worth the loss in Hollywood.
But Littman Media only started io in April, and has not yet completed the acquisition of A. Fortunately, I bought Ovitz's personal shares in A in advance.
"I remember you had a good personal relationship with Mr. Ovitz, right?"
I didn't think it needed to be so fast. Song Ya hasn't discussed this matter with Sloan yet. Both of them are too busy.
"Well."
Faced with the reporter's subtle questioning, Song Ya was a little embarrassed. When David Geffen called, he didn't say that a reporter would come today, but it was necessary to turn his face. It was meaningless to hide, and he offended the boss.
He secretly apologized to Ovitz, and said with some discretion, "Although I have cooperated with Mr. Ovitz many times in some businesses, I want to say that he was wrong in this matter, and he should not Reaching out to a friend's back doesn't do anyone any good. I have a lot of respect for Mr. Ron Meyer, he's running Universal Pictures well, and I look forward to working with him on the Blade sequel."
Ovitz thinks the accusations made by David Geffen and AS are nonsensical. He thinks Ron Meyer is a villain who tells the truth to his boss Bronfman Jr. and deliberately misinterprets his own conversation.
Ovitz couldn't bear it, and within a few days he called the media to help fight back. He said: I founded CAA, and half of the people in Hollywood are supported by me. I will definitely go back. CAA has sunk to the point of being with William Morris At the same level, Hollywood still needs me, whether it is a cast member, a director, or a producer.
In San Marino in Los Angeles, Xue Linfen brought her children back from Ireland to the mansion where Song Ya sent her off. She was reading the newspaper while supervising the cleaning of the servants. "Why did he quarrel with Mr. Ovitz?"
"have no idea."
Manager and best friend Tim asked worriedly: "Xuelin, why don't you just come back without informing him?"
"I'm not his personal belonging!"
Tears welled up in Xue Linfen's eyes, "Today is Valentine's Day!"
"He was concerned for your safety and the safety of the children."
"It's a lie, he just hates me and thinks I'm old." Xue Linfen cried sadly, "He's so ruthless that he doesn't even want to see his own child! To fall in love with the younger and more beautiful Xia Qi Lasheng's youngest daughter” x
"Don't be like this Xuelin, you are still young and much more beautiful than Shakira. We wrongly blamed him before, think about it, the a movie studio he left for you and Robb before he was shot has already invested in Titanic , according to the current speed of big boats attracting money, Hollywood rumors can share at least 200 million in box office revenue." Tim persuaded.
"How did I know that! I can't predict the future!"
The stronger and better the man is, the more money A movie studio earns, the more Xue Linfen regrets it, the more reluctant she is. Now she has entered a complete state of resentment. Turning on the TV, the entrance of the California movie theater on Valentine's Day is still crowded. crazy! too crazy! After the eighth week of Beimi's release, Titanic seems to be able to create the highest single-day box office record, and all couples go to the cinema to watch this! The reporter broadcast at the entrance of the theater: "The global box office data is even more terrifying. It is rumored that it is twice as high as that of Beimi! The whole world is fascinated by the big ship and Little Lizi."
As appeared in a high-end restaurant in Chicago today to spend Valentine's Day with his girlfriend Shakira.
The next piece of entertainment news made her burst into tears. In the picture, Song Ya gently supported Shakira's waist, smiled at the camera across the street, and walked into the restaurant with her head down. 0
"It's just for publicity. He will start ordering tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Tim explained.
"Eremov, when will this year start production of new art films and what is the plan?"
Xue Linfen threw away the remote control and picked up the phone, "It's already February."
"May I accompany the Dachuan crew in New York to talk about art films later?" Yeremov perfunctory without any preparation.
"Don't we have an appointment with Xiao Lizi?" Xue Linfen asked.
"Yes, it was originally planned to start work in May, but according to Xiao Lizi's current promotional schedule, it may have to be delayed until the second half of the year."
"I already have the script so soon, can someone send it over?"
"Uh, the boss hasn't given it to me yet. He wants to write about you returning to America, Xuelin." Yeremov realized from her words.
"Yes, I just arrived in San Marino today. For other projects, I need to work on Eremov. I'm bored to death in Ireland."
"There are no other projects. This year's situation is a bit beyond the plan." Yeremov paused and said, "There is a reporter here, so I have to hang up Xuelin. Wait for my call."
She waited for Song Ya's call first.
"You're back." The voice on the other end was cold, "Didn't I hire a teacher for little Robb in Ireland, and I have to find a good school in the United States again."
"I need a job, and I'm not Anna Boleyn, imprisoned in the Tower of London by Henry VIII!"
She cried and complained: "You don't have to treat me like this when you have a new love, I love you as, I can't live without you, you can't treat me so ruthlessly, even for the sake of the three children!"
The other end of the phone was silent for a while, "I will arrange everything, Xuelin, on the premise that you don't make up your own mind, sometimes I am afraid that you will be stupid again, you know?"
"Did you say that when you seduced me! As, say I'm a stupid woman"
"Do I have to make it clear? Goodman was just allowed to take back one of his properties in New Mexico today. Goodman and Delay are still running between prison and court."
beep beep
After saying this, Song Ya hung up immediately, and Xue Linfen threw herself onto the sofa pale and cried.
"i"
But Mariah Carey's call came in again, and Song Ya had no choice but to answer, "You're back in the United States."
"Um."
The mood of the ex-wife did not change, "Today I went to New York to stand for the Titanic, and I met Yeremov, and Xiao Li has indeed become more and more attractive. We chatted for a long time."
"oh."
"Oh what do you mean?" She raised her voice.
"That's right."
"As, I warn you not to talk to my old lady like that!" She suddenly screamed, "I haven't settled with you for throwing away my eternal debt!"
"You don't pay attention to it yourself. I gave you an advantage. You are too lazy to grasp it and now you regret it and blame me!"
Song Ya was already annoyed by Xue Linfen and her hint just now, and just learned that Global Television Network was sold to Barry Diller by Bronfman Jr. at an unbelievable price, "Do you want me to feed the rice?" Into your mouth! Ang, don't forget that we are divorced!"
"you!"
beep beep
At the same time, Redstone said, "In other words, Titanic will set a single-day box office record after the eighth week"
He looked at the box office survey report he had just received and asked.
"Yes, 100 percent. On Valentine's Day, Beimi's box office was more than 13 million, which is better than the figure when it first opened." The subordinate replied.
"Where is the total box office?"
"Bei Mi has already reached more than 350 million. In addition to the Oscar effect next month, it is estimated that Bei Mi's final box office will exceed 500 million, and the global box office is likely to exceed 1.5 billion."
"That is to say" Lei Shidong did some calculations in his mind, and murmured to himself slowly, "I invested 60 million at the beginning, no matter how I split the accounts with Fox, I will earn at least hundreds of millions."
"Yes, that's right, boss, today Bronfman Jr. and Barry Diller reached a deal on Global Television Network, and the details are unexpected." Seeing that he was in a bad mood, his subordinates changed the subject.
Lei Shidong didn't seem to hear this at all, "If we share the bill with Fox, we can definitely share much more than AS, much more."
"That's right."
"Go and contact the candidate for the new president. I want Shirley Lansing to get out, and get out after Saving Private Ryan."
Redstone issued ruthless orders.
And David Geffen paid more attention to the acquisition of Global Television Network, "What do you mean by adding 1.2 billion cash and half of Diller Media stock, Bronfman Jr. sold him American Television Network? He didn't sell all of it. What do you mean by the rest of the TV stations? Obviously, the US TV network is the most high-quality asset among them, and half of Diller Media’s shares are worth at most 300 million.”
"Maybe Mr. Bronfman Jr. wants to continue to cooperate with Barry Diller, and the competition with Redstone for CBS Polygram is just a smoke bomb he released," the staff analyzed.
"There is no such cooperation, he is not afraid of being slapped by Barry Diller." David Geffen shook his head, not agreeing with this guess.
"For old Mr. Bronfman's sake, Barry Diller wouldn't do anything like that to him."
"It's not too much of 1.5 billion to win the American TV network! At least I'm willing to spend 1.8 billion to take over!"
David Geffen is a bit unacceptable, "Why didn't I see it before"
"Didn't see anything"
"Listen."
David Geffen's eyes darkened, "At present, the little Bronfman trusts me the most, right? So we will do this in the future, play with him more, compliment him more, and at the same time try to secretly compress his social circle so as not to let those smart The ambitious people, such as Spielberg, Catherine and his wife, and as have had too much contact with those people, and they might even provoke them occasionally."
"I understand." The subordinate understood in seconds, and the eyes under the lens revealed a greedy and ruthless light. div
