Chapter 1189? Courage

A done deal, Underwood and Peter quickly realized that it was inconvenient to talk about this matter. They were not the only ones attending the ceremony today. A large number of politicians, media and Internet industry colleagues were present. The two quickly slipped away, Alicia To take the two children home, only Underwood's wife, Claire, was left waiting for news.

"Are you going together? Claire." Song Ya went out behind Sloan's ass. His office was in the building of A+ Records. "Tell Shakira to wait for me when I come back." He told his classmate and assistant Melissa outside the door.

"I'm going to the banquet hall."

Then they went on the same road for the time being. When the three of them walked into the elevator, Claire said, "Gordon's attack strategy is great. The CUU and other media should follow up tomorrow. Is there a tacit understanding between them?"

"Probably not, I don't even know about it."

Of course Song Ya knew that when Sloan stopped Gordon from breaking the news last time, he promised Gordon that he could wait for Dan Burton to give a fatal blow when he ran for re-election. Now the timing is right, because Dan Burton followed the Elephant Party a few days ago Cursing the incumbent commander-in-chief and hyping the Lewinsky case, he was a 'gaffe', which is not a gaffe. It is a normal operation among ultra-conservatives, and he said: 'Arkansas disguised as a white man. '

This is the same as calling CUU the Arkansas station. It is also a stalk created by the elephant party. The actual meaning is to accuse the current general of the leadership of being white-skinned and black-hearted, and treats black people as well as his own, because he paid great attention to win over the black group for the election. In 1996, he was elected When re-elected, the vote rate among blacks and the support rate in recent years are very high.

Gordon, a keen old media person, will not let go of this perfect motivation, relying on political correctness, and throwing out Dan Burton's cheating hammer, so that the outside world will think that he is fighting back against the gaffe that the black community is offended as a whole. By the way, it can share the pressure for the current commander in chief, and help the boss APLUS to avenge the Bahn case.

The liberal media will love this news very much. Dan Burton was still in Congress sanctimoniously scolding the current general for cheating and messing around in the White House, and then he was stripped of his hypocritical underpants, which is very dramatic.

But Song Ya also knew that Dan Burton was the leader of the Senate, the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee Jesse Helms, and the two sides finally reached a truce.

"McAvoy's remarks today sound like what FoxNews would say, and the overall problem is not big." Claire added, "But he can't go further APLUS, this kind of thing can't be thrown to the audience casually." Irresponsible assumption."

FoxNews, the head anchor McAvoy’s similar remarks against the current commander-in-chief’s court testimony, has long said, so the donkey party should be able to bear it, but as Claire said, it’s a bit too much to go any further, stepping on the line. Moreover, the nature of this incident brought up by one's own people is completely different from that of the enemy media FoxNews. The current commander-in-chief should be very angry. The Elephant Party has been chasing Lewinsky's recordings, and he is very nervous about this matter.

"We don't have a good way to restrict McAvoy, you know the super contract that Ovitz gave him ... Littman Media can't afford liquidated damages."

Sloan explained.

Claire shrugged coldly, stepped out of the elevator, and headed towards the banquet hall.

"McAvoy just raised a possibility."

Song Ya and Sloan walked into the office of director Charlie Skinner,

The silver-haired old man was standing in front of the display screen wall to monitor the operation of the entire TV station. He knew the reason why Sloan rushed in aggressively, so he spoke first.

Song Ya folded her hands on her chest and found a corner of a table without saying a word to listen. Sloan didn't let herself speak, as long as someone showed up at the scene, it was fine. If she said too much, she might be caught by the old fox.

"Don't say you don't understand the subtleties...Charlie, you have been a media person for decades."

Sloan was angry, gesticulating and questioning the old man, "On the first day of broadcasting in Chicago? I think you and McAvoy took the opportunity to deliberately offend us and expand your right to speak in the station. "

"Absolutely not."

The old man spread his hands with an innocent expression, "McAvoy just wants to remind the public that there is a possibility that he has always been a maverick and has the courage of a media person, otherwise you won't like it, buy it."

"I do appreciate him, but not today."

Sloan raised his hand to signal Song Ya, "The politicians present today should be able to show how harmonious our relationship with the Donkey Party is in Chicago! You are old media people, don't say you don't understand what there should be a tacit understanding with us. "

"I apologize to you, Ms. Sloane, and Mr. APLUS." The old man apologized solemnly.

"Don't think we dare not fire McAvoy, well, now Littman Media can't afford to fire him, but I warn you, if he says anything outrageous in the Lewinsky case, I can fire you, Charlie," Sloane continued threatening.

"Charlie leaves, and I leave too." McAvoy pushed the door open and entered.

"That's easy!"

Sloan threw a warning look at the two domineeringly, shook his hair and left, Song Ya stroked his chin and smiled at the director and anchor, and followed her out without saying a word.

"McAvoy's integrity will not allow him to continue to attack the current commander-in-chief when there is only one recording evidence. Gordon's revelations have aroused the interest of liberal media such as CUU. They reposted Gordon's program today. The Washington Post The newspaper, the New York Times and other major paper media also reprinted and followed up the report, but so far, Dan Burton has not responded."

The next day, Yeremov hurried back to Los Angeles, and Daniel was standing up on the table in the conference room, waiting for him to come to the meeting while reading the newspaper, "The ultra-conservatives are dying, and they have offended almost all multinationals. Enterprises, still unwilling to pay attention to political correctness, have a bad reputation at home and abroad, they will have no votes, no campaign funds in the next century, and will eventually die out."

Daniel commented.

Yeremov recalled the threat from the boss in his mind, and became more vigilant and unhappy with Daniel. He knocked on the sole of his shiny shoes with his briefcase, "Don't dirty the table, the people from the rental company will come later. .”

"Are we moving?"

Daniel's "we" made Yeremov's eyelids twitch, and he replied quietly: "The A+ movie studio is no longer suitable to stay near Universal Studios."

"You should persuade APLUS, why did you have such a stalemate with Universal... Where are you going to move?"

"West Hollywood? Or Bamberke..." Yeremov didn't want to talk about the company's internal affairs with the other party, so he changed the subject, "What about the Cold Mountain project?"

"I'll arrange for you to meet with the people from Grove Publishing House, they will come over later."

"I wasn't notified..."

"You can't get through the phone."

"That should be on the plane, Daniel, it's better to check with me next time, maybe I don't have time..."

"Come on, Yeremov." Daniel interrupted him, "Time is very important to us. After Grove Publishing learned that APLUS and you are seeking to buy Polygram Films, they think that the Anna and the King project will cause damage to Cold Mountain. Shock, we must give them a reassurance as soon as possible."

"I see."

"I just called APLUS. I can also help with Polygram Films. I know Polygram very well and know a lot of people."

"He agreed?"

"No, he is worrying about this matter..." Daniel threw the newspaper on the table, and the New York Times was laughing at Dan Burton who was caught raped, and the accompanying picture was the one Gordon gave yesterday.

Yeremov breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, the casting for the girl next door project is over? I just met old Larry, and he said that the crew is ready to go to Chicago to start work?"

"It's none of your business Daniel." Yeremov sat down opposite him.

"Mr. Glass!" The well-dressed Xue Linfen walked in at this time, "Will the author of Cold Mountain, Mr. Charles Fraser, be there?"

"No, just the people from Grove Publishing House, and maybe the Atlantic Monthly... Xuelin, later you and the other party want to say... so..."

Daniel taught Xue Linfen what to say and what not to say in a big way. Yeremov became more and more irritable when he heard it, and he didn't sulk at a word.

"Boss, the president of Fox Films is here, in the office." In the middle of the meeting, he was called into his office by his assistant.

Bill McKennik, President of Fox Films, sat very relaxed on his boss chair, holding a photo frame he placed on the table in his hand, and took a group photo with the wife of the current Grand Commander, "Eremov, Eremov ..." Seeing him enter the door, he flicked his head on the photo with his fingers a little frivolously, "To be honest, I have known you for so many years, and it is very gratifying to see what you have achieved today."

"Thank you, what's the matter with me, Mr. McKennick."

Yeremov squeezed out a smile, "Congratulations too, Dachuan is still in the top five of North America's weekly box office."

"It's all over." Bill McKennick waved his hand casually, "We have to look forward."

"Yes, there is a disagreement between us regarding the calculation of the big ship's announced funds..."

"Let's not talk about that today." Bill McKennick interrupted him, "Are you helping APLUS buy Polygram Films?"

"Yes."

"Where is the progress?"

"Uh, it's not convenient to disclose, we are preparing for the next round of negotiations."

"I heard that Bronfman Jr. and Ron Meyer were very angry with you two. He gave an ultimatum to Polygram, prohibiting further contact with you, otherwise the deal to acquire Polygram Records will be cancelled." Bill McKennick There was a lot of news.

"Really? I haven't heard of it..." Yeremov was startled.

"You need to be smarter." Bill McEnick tapped his forehead with his index finger, "Okay, let's not talk about it, I just talked to Jodie Foster, and then cooperate on the Anna and the King project? How about it? "

"oh?"

Yeremov almost couldn't control his facial expression and laughed out loud on the spot, "That project was started by our A+ film studio..."

"What's the first come first come first?"

Bill McKennick stood up, "Then let's talk about it. Let's have dinner with Jodie Foster tonight and settle this matter. Our enemy is Universal Pictures. I heard that Ron Meyer also intends to intervene."

"I haven't heard from..."

"It will be too late when you know everything."

"Wait, Mr. McKennik, I have to ask the boss first, he may not be happy to see other companies intervene in Anna and the king..."

"Ask, but you still have to come at night, nine o'clock, on time, don't play tricks."

Bill McKennick dropped a matchbox from a high-end restaurant before leaving the house.

Yeremov didn't catch it, and fell to the ground. When he bent over to pick it up, he heard the sound of the door closing. He took a deep breath and rearranged the photo frame messed up by Bill McKennick, "Boss, just now... ..."

"You deal with it."

After the truthful report, Song Ya's impatient voice came from the other end of the phone, "What's the matter? The second generation of the crappy director popped up again, so now I'm a Hollywood bully again? I'm very busy now, Don't let me see this kind of disgusting news."

"Which guides the second generation?"

"Do you, M-FXXK, still want to do it!? Watch TV by yourself!" The phone was hung up.

Yeremov didn't bother to go back to the meeting, so he asked his subordinates to help find the news from the boss.

'APLUS is a rotten person. There is no one in Hollywood who disgusts me so much that I feel physically uncomfortable. He is the only one. I remember I said this many years ago. At that time, he was a little singer. It was unbelievable I've had enough of being messy, big-name and disruptive, I'd rather lose my job than work with him...'

It turned out to be the daughter of David Lynch, Jennifer Lynch.

"Eremov, where are you!? What time is it!?"

At 9:30 in the evening, Bill McKennick had already made several phone calls, and when he got through, he yelled angrily, "Did I warn you not to be late!? You have five minutes to show up in front of me and Jodie Foster! "

Yeremov hung up, turned off the phone, "Hoo!" He let out a long breath at the mirror, spread his fingers apart, straightened out the extremely important strands of long hair that covered the Mediterranean Sea, and then began to spray it upwards to shape it Mousse's eyes became more and more determined.

"Boss, the reporter is waiting."

"Okay, now."

He tidied up his suit and hurried out of the building with his briefcase in hand. On the dark street, a small film crew tacitly stopped him from interviewing, "Mr. Yeremov, can you talk about director Jennifer Lynch's criticism of APLUS? "

"Totally unfounded remarks, and very excessive. David, her father should discipline her well, apologize, and speak honestly and practically in the future. Her level is too bad, and I suspect that she has mental problems. Hollywood is a little bit more rational. The company won't cooperate with her, just watch, she won't even be able to shoot TV dramas in a while. Oh yes, she has no chance to shoot anymore, she just does odd jobs in other people's dramas, substituting for one or two episodes ? This kind of opportunity should not be given to her!"

Yeremov sprayed wildly.

"Are you calling for a ban?" The reporters who had prepared in advance were very cooperative.

"She asked for it by herself, and made rumors about an amphibious superstar..."

"There are a lot of people in Hollywood who agree with her."

"Who!?" Yeremov stopped and asked.

"Well……"

"Anyway, she should keep her mouth shut." Yeremov continued to stride forward.

"Let's talk about you and Polygram Films, shall we?"

"I started from being interested in its Anna and the King project..."

"But I heard that many Hollywood companies are also chasing this project."

"They shouldn't be doing that, and I was determined to win that project."

The next day, he was blatantly scolded by Bill McKennik, "Loser's cry, now we Fox Films is leading the Anna and the King project, and I have reached an agreement with Jodie Foster."

"Speaking of losers, I remember last year how Bill begged me to keep throwing money into the big boat, I'm going to jump off the building, I'm going to jump off the building oooh Yeremov...help me."

Yeremov gritted his teeth and fought back in front of the camera, imitating the cry of the other party, "Forgot this year? Hehe, first of all, don't come to grab my project from me, and second, don't even try to play tricks on the big ship's account, A+ movie The studio hasn't seen the money in the film's number one project yet, he can't escape!"

Bill McKennick was furious. He was in a meeting with Jodie Foster. He was speechless when he saw Yeremov's remarks, and his eyes almost popped out. Before he could fight back, Regent Films boss Arnold Kopelson He ran out for no reason to answer, "Is Yeremov a little unaware of who he is? The boss he works for, APLUS, supports online piracy, and he is making an enemy of all Hollywood and the record industry. He works for APLUS, and he is APLUS. The spies in Hollywood remind me of the spies in World War II."

"I suspect that Arnold Kopelsen is an Israeli spy (the other party is an Israeli citizen)!"

Yeremov went all out. In fact, it is not that there are no such rumors in the circle.

When the news passed, Arnold Copelsen was attending a dinner party. He shrugged to the celebrities who were paying attention to him. "Eremov seems to have gone crazy." But he really didn't continue the line.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Bill McKennick angrily squeezed into the car in embarrassment after the reporters, most of whom were paparazzi hired by Yeremov, blocked him by threatening to jump off the building.

"Eremov? He is an insignificant villain, APLUS's loyal dog." The old enemy, Joe Pesci of the Hollywood Italian Gang, laughed.

"He should be more worried about his own career. Now is not the era of mafia. Does anyone still look for that box office poison to make a movie?" Yeremov retorted.

"All of us should calm down." Ron Meyer, president of Universal Pictures, stood up. "I have noticed Mr. Yeremov's recent remarks, which are very incautious."

"Universal is suppressing me, fans all over the world are waiting for the sequel of Blade Runner, the delay of the project is all their responsibility!"

Yeremov encouraged Zack Snyder and other long-awaited project creators to stand up and support, calling on movie fans to unite and contact the signature collection event to force Universal to restart the sequel as soon as possible.

Soon, Polygram hinted that it would not continue to negotiate with A+ Film Studio on the acquisition of Polygram Pictures.

"This decision has violated the interests of their shareholders. Don't forget that they are a listed company!" Yeremov went all out, "This matter is endless..."

"It seems that APLUS really doesn't want to release a special this year? The contradiction seems to be a little bit intensified... Isn't the Blade Warrior project very profitable?"

The Chase Bank representative who was in a meeting with Bronfman Jr. put down the newspaper and asked, "It is rumored that you gave Polygram an ultimatum, but also promised to pay a price increase?"

"So?" Bronfman Jr. responded impatiently: "Or are you planning to withdraw? Don't forget that you are not the only one willing to provide financing!"
