Chapter 1182? Where Is the Boundary

'Mr. APLUS's statement does not have any legal effect. He is the company's shareholder and the chairman of the board of directors. It is true, but the company's board of directors was completely unaware of it beforehand and did not follow any internal procedures. APLUS rarely asked about the company's specific operations before. actual situation. I think maybe it's just an inappropriate reaction to some critical voices, which is a personal behavior. '

Ms. Sloan soon issued an official statement 'response' on behalf of Litman Media in New York.

"Very childish double reed." At a golf course in Canada, Bronfman Jr. commented after hearing the report from his subordinates.

"Why?" His father, Bronfman Sr., hit the ball and ambled forward, using the club as a crutch.

"Why what?" asked Bronfman Jr.

"The black singer you just rated."

Old Bronfman and the others answered after putting some distance away from the others.

"piece of cake."

"It's not a small problem, and it's not necessary. I told you last time."

"Of course it is necessary."

Bronfman Jr. retorted, and the father and son stopped by the green. "An untamed dog means nothing to the owner. I kindly took him in. He must reciprocate obedience. Otherwise, my record company will be messed up like Sony Columbia by him." Those two years were just as chaotic, we are not the book."

"You can't treat the youngest self-made billionaire like this." Bronfman Sr. advised: "At least not so rough."

"Is someone complaining to you again?" Little Bronfman couldn't do anything else, but he had already figured out his father completely, otherwise he wouldn't have defeated other brothers and sisters to become the sole heir of the empire.

"The two old employees who went to A+ Liquor."

"I knew it! They hate me. They hope that I will continue to grow Seagram, not sell DuPont shares, and make and sell wine for the rest of my life." Bronfman Jr. raised his voice, "One generation does what one generation does, and grandpa sells Moonshine, work with the mafia, you whitewash your family, fight DuPont, now it's my turn to conquer the entertainment industry."

"Don't worry about the criticism of DuPont." The old man comforted his son in turn, "I support you. This is our joint decision, but the outside world has put all the pressure on you."

"I do not mind."

Bronfman Jr. was in a better mood, "Now we have two empires, Seagram and Universal. After this year, the family will become the owner of the world's largest record company, and then I will focus on Hollywood. Younger than Redstone and Murdoch, they will be surpassed by me sooner or later."

"Yeah." The old man nodded gratified, "Although those two children are not as good as you, they never sold the TV network easily. They are well aware of the power of the media."

"You mentioned this again, father, didn't we talk about this with Barry Diller last time? You also agree with the plan I made with him. We need allies now, and he is just right." Little Brown "It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to win Polygram," said Furman.

The battle will be easier than when you and DuPont fought ConocoPhillips, no, it's much easier, because the potential competitors are all overwhelmed. "

"So during this critical period, don't be distracted and open up another battlefield. First, temporarily lose the heel to the money printing machine under it. This is good for gaining the trust of the banking industry, and then slowly tighten the fence later."

"You don't have to worry, I can handle it all, the conditions of the Swiss are very good."

"We don't take money from the Swiss banking industry, you know I'm taking the lead in recovering ethnic World War II deposits from them."

"This group doesn't deserve your devotion to them. The group of people who invest in the Internet are talking about business is business, and then confronting me. I doubt how much they appreciate the surname Bronfman. Affection."

"The nature is different. Some transactions can be done and some transactions cannot be done. You must understand where the boundaries of the business are, my child!" The old man was also a little angry.

"Don't worry, I won't take money from the Swiss, just to give an example." Bronfman Jr. said he was educated.

"That's good."

Being interrupted like this, the old man couldn't remember what to say, so he concentrated on playing.

At the same time, Song Ya paused on the Internet for the time being, to observe the further reaction of public opinion and free up his hands to solve other problems first.

"The Girl Next Door will be independently produced by our A+ film studio, Cici Lords' film company will do some supporting work, and we need her San Fernando Valley resources, including two 'hot actresses' over there. A supporting role, and filming permission to enter the Las Vegas Adult Show."

Yeremov reported to work: "The heroine casting has also entered the penultimate round..."

"So fast?" Song Ya was surprised.

"Yes, Xiao Lizi's new agent is in a hurry to meet the schedule, and he doesn't have enough time to join the team. Our work plan must be made around him. He is the most popular, and the box office depends on him." Ye Lemov replied.

"I'm used to him..."

Song Ya waved his hand, "Forget it, you continue."

"After getting the script, many famous Hollywood actresses finally chose to withdraw voluntarily."

Yeremov lined up more than a dozen resumes, "Because I want to play a San Fernando Valley actress, and there are exposure shots."

"Um."

Exposure shots are not a big deal for Hollywood actresses, especially if they can play with Xiao Li, but the San Fernando Valley actress is really harmful to the development of future careers. Art movies are fine, and sex comedies …In this day and age, it’s not even as good as playing a prostitute like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. After playing this kind of role, I guess you can only go to the porn star, a famous actress, or even a self-motivated second-tier girl It's normal for a star to get cold feet.

I haven't seen any familiar faces with whom I have had skin-to-skin contact. This is not a bad sign. It shows that their careers are developing well and they still have spirit.

Song Ya flipped through it casually, and the resumes are all good white girls born in 1978 to 1980. About half of them are models who have no Hollywood qualifications but have a youthful and invincible skin. The most famous of the other half is Catherine Hai Geer.

"She is willing?" Song Ya took out Katherine Heigl's resume, and looked at each photo carefully. The big white girl's appearance was not inferior to that of Charis, and her figure was even hotter. "Then what else to choose? She has acted countless times." A blockbuster heroine with a production cost of tens of millions."

He still remembers that Katherine Heigl played the heroine of the runaway dragon with Steve Seagal, and the second female lead who directed Tom Hanks' debut and can't stop the miracle.

"Rampaging Qianlong was already a thing in 1995, and the unstoppable miracle in 1996... still rushed. Hollywood is very cruel, and now she can only receive the second female lead in horror movies."

Yeremov took out another photo from his bag, "And this is a recent photo of her, we took it when she was auditioning."

"oh."

Bai Niu is really... It's hard to describe, Katherine Heigl's appearance in 1978 has begun to collapse, the fat and baby fat disappear, and then the horizontal flesh on both sides of the bridge of the nose is unobstructed and hard to hide.

"Daniel recommended his niece Samantha Cole." Yeremov pushed forward a resume.

"Daniel has quite long hands."

Song Ya, who lives in the other party's house, said with disgust: "You can just deal with Daniel." Samantha Cole dumped her poor old friend Walter Afanayev, and has a reputation for being playful and unrestrained. Outside, I didn't like to see this woman very much since the dance out of my life audition.

Besides, his appearance is not enough to fight with others.

"Then Bizhu Phillips."

Yeremov picked out a beautiful blonde from the crowd of models, "singer, socialite, model, she is the daughter of musician John Phillips, the daughter of Daniel's SBK record girl group Wilson and Phillips sisters. The sister's half-sister, Xiao Lizi also supports her as the heroine, and the two are currently fighting fiercely."

The heroine of the original Tianqi film has a pure face and a good figure. Song Ya closed her eyes and compared it. To be coaxed, he also supported Amy before as the heroine of the modern chapter of Romeo and Juliet, so he took it as a reward, so he nodded and agreed, "It looks good, but I don't know how good the acting skills are. Where is old Larry? Who does he like?" ?”

"The acting sucks."

Yeremov commented unceremoniously that the girl next door heroine still needs some acting skills, "Old Larry likes her, a newcomer to TV series, Melissa Georgie."

Song Ya opened the resume of the other party, and when she saw the photo inside, her eyes lit up. It's very good, really good, beautiful and sexy, with a little baby fat on her face. She is the kind of blonde who is full of crimes. , some angles are very similar to the heroine of the original film of Apocalypse, and she doesn't have the butt and chin of the original heroine. He doesn't like the butt and chin, "Hehe, old Larry has a way of choosing people."

"Yes." Yeremov observed his words and put his resume away separately.

"Is he not your girl or someone else?" Song Ya wanted to confirm.

"no no."

"Well, I don't have much time, and I don't want to worry about too many specific matters. In the end, it's up to you and old Larry to make the decision. Let's go. Shakira! I'll go out for a while, and I'll be back soon!"

The two packed up and went straight to David Geffen's Jack Warner estate. They had previously promised that the girl next door would be distributed by DreamWorks, but David Geffen is now also involved in accusing himself, and some of DreamWorks' global distribution rights are in Universal Pictures. In the hands of the industry, this problem must be properly resolved.

David Geffen probably didn't want Bronfman Jr. to know that he had met him. According to the agreement, the visit was secret, but when he was brought into the villa by the servants, he ran into two white men head-on, "APLUS? Ha!"

These two guys, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, one rough and one nerdy, introduced themselves as the Wachowski brothers' Hollywood screenwriter, director, and producer, and their behavior was a bit weird. Not too girly, to be straight and not too straight.

The faces of the two were originally angry, but when they saw themselves, they became very affectionate, and they took the initiative to extend their hands to say hello, "I'm glad you're fine, in fact, our Matrix project once wanted to find you as a starring role, because the male protagonist set up a general It's a bit similar to Blade Runner, but it's a pity that you were in the hospital at the time... Later we approached Will Smith, but he turned him down haha."

"Hi there."

Song Ya shook hands with them blankly.

"The Matrix is ​​Warner's project, a major sci-fi production." Yeremov knew the two, and explained from the side, "Now? Have you settled the male lead?"

"Keanu Reeves, he is great and professional enough. We also hired a martial arts instructor from Xiangjiang. The best one is Yuan Heping."

The two talked a lot, and their personalities were also very self-centered. They stood in place enthusiastically and chatted endlessly.

Sounds like a Blade Runner follow-up? Song Ya frowned slightly. Damn little Bronfman, I don't know when the sequel to Blade Runner will start filming...

Fortunately, David Geffen sent someone to invite Song Ya to escape.

David Geffen was also in a bad mood, with anger still remaining on his face, "Sorry, APLUS, I publicly said something that was not very friendly to you."

"I understand."

The rich three generations are unreliable, but everyone has to rely on him for food. The two billionaires are also very helpless. Of course, Song Ya does not want to set up another strong enemy. David Geffen, the Hollywood gay fraternity, and DreamWorks.

"Did you just meet the Wachowskis?" David Geffen asked.

"Yes."

"They don't understand me, which makes me very sad." David Geffen was a little unstable, as if he wanted to find someone to confide in, "The current Grand Commander has long betrayed the support of our same-sex community, and then the Wachowski Brothers gang People still want us same-sex groups to help them, LGBTQ, there may be a long list after that, but we can't handle ourselves! Gore is a more conservative guy, and that is at least four years long wait!"

Song Ya knew about LGBTQ (please use the search well), but she was a bit puzzled by David Geffen's words, so she had to persuade: "The rights and interests of the same-sex group are improving, and I know that some states have recognized the legal effect of same-sex marriage. "

"It was the result of one lawsuit after another, and the main intention of the case was to inherit the partner's insurance, property and so on."

David Geffen replied: "It's been an incredibly long and painful process, you know APLUS, with every win we've had, there's been other minorities like the Wachowskis and gender identity disorder Want to give us a free ride, we have already had a hard time accepting them, so what about queer people? What about polygamy, polyandry or even polygamy, and those groups of various hobbies? There must always be a boundary, right? Where is the boundary? The result of everyone bundling into the car is to over-stimulate the psychological bottom line of the mainstream crowd, and the final result is that no one even wants to be recognized! All die together!"

"Uh... take your time." Song Ya didn't quite understand and was very embarrassed.

"With the acceptance of same-sex marriage, monogamy in cultural traditions will begin to be dissolved, and the increasingly popular prenuptial agreement will gradually destroy the religious sanctity of marriage. The paper marriage contract will become more and more like a legal document that concludes the code of living together. So the two or more parties who conclude a marriage in principle are all right as long as they are rational adults with free will. We are not without empathy, and we have indeed seen the dawn, but can you let us go ashore first, and then step by step Take it easy?!"

David Geffen poured himself a drink, emotionally, "Do you support us APLUS?"

"You know mine, I've always supported it." Song Ya replied.

"And what about other minorities? Also support?"

"Uh... To be honest, I haven't considered these issues carefully. But I must be a supporter of multiculturalism." Song Ya said truthfully.

"Yeah." David Geffen choked up and hugged.

"Uh uh, I'm here for the girl next door." Song Ya felt something was wrong and dodged quickly.

"Girl? Oh..."

When it came to business, David Geffen quickly returned to his senses, "I'm sorry, I was so pissed off by those brothers just now, if DreamWorks decides not to undertake the publishing work of the girl next door, what are your plans for APLUS?" he asked.

Sure enough, Song Ya looked at Yeremov.

"Shoot it first, and then find a distributor for the finished film? Universal is out of the picture...but the movie starring Xiao Li should not be difficult to sell, right?" Yeremov said.

"Okay, that's it. Let's understand each other. I need to firmly support Bronfman Jr. now, no, for a long time to come." David Geffen is very frank.

"I can understand." Does that mean continuing to scold me? Song Ya shrugged.

"That's it?"

"That's it. Goodbye, Mr. Geffen." Song Ya turned and left.

"Okay, but we will maintain a certain tacit understanding in private, right?" David Geffen shouted to his back: "You should understand what I mean."

"Of course, I know where the boundary is." Song Ya replied.
