Chapter 1300 03 You Can Ride
In addition to Fortune magazine, Song Ya has also been shortlisted for many honors in the "award season" of various financial media, such as one of the most popular investors in Silicon Valley, 40 people under the age of 40, etc., in addition to being accepted in France A small number of face-to-face interviews, and other released interviews are all homework written by Ms. Sloan. He only needs to receive emails to check and then approve to send.
With the in-group treatment enjoyed as the owner of Littman Media, plus the convenience and privacy of private jets, it is difficult to find him outside now. Most people think he is still in France, and most of the people in Canada Some members of the Cold Mountain crew thought he had left long ago.
As long as there is an internet connection, he can do a lot of good work at home, and he can do it without taking a step out of the hotel room door.
Besides, he is reluctant to leave, no matter fourteen inches, twelve inches, ten inches or six inches, no matter whether the cake is cream or chocolate flavor, he loves it, the more the better, the more he wants to leave.
Accompanied by the first cup of coffee in the morning, he put on his pajamas and started to work. In fact, he read news and stock market news online, and then exchanged emails and phone calls with his subordinates daily. The remote command is completely sufficient.
"Um……"
An email from private lawyer Song Zecheng made him frown. Recently, various companies under his company have issued reports to upgrade network equipment, mainly high-performance switches and firewalls. Song Zecheng suggested centralized procurement.
America Music, which is a website in its own industry, is not included. They are listed companies, and the scale of related expenditures has increased even more.
‘The main reason is that the newly emerging P2P trend has led to a surge in the number of concurrent connections, resulting in congestion at the network exit, and many employees are secretly using Napster and other similar software. '
William Zhang, president of the American music website, is an expert. Song Yakan opened his report, "There are also various malicious network attacks, virus problems, etc...."
When he was in France, Napster had already entered his line of sight, but it was more of an annoyance, professional pirate software, all his hit songs were on his home download list, he didn’t expect to have this side effect...
After the official launch of Napster, the main users are college students, and at the beginning of this month, it quickly reached more than 60% of the bandwidth of some schools. The number of concurrent connections exploded at every turn, resulting in massive congestion on the internal and external networks. Many universities had to strictly prohibit students However, despite repeated prohibitions, the campus network administrator began to play the game of police and catching thieves with the students, fighting wits and courage.
Therefore, if you want to restore the smooth flow of the network, you must replace higher-end switches and firewalls with greater throughput, which are more expensive, and anti-virus software. Buy antivirus software and install it.
By analogy, he checked the stocks, and the stock prices of related software and hardware manufacturers have been rising, especially Cisco, the industry leader and the biggest winner. Last year, Cisco just squeezed into the top ten of the S&P with a market value of 146.5 billion dollars. Going to double it.
"Hehe, it seems that software is a blessing from heaven for some companies."
Napster also announced its listing plan. Song Ya didn't want to get involved, and the RIAA's legal team also targeted them. Only I can understand the pain of being entangled by the Recording Industry Association, and what Napster has done is much worse than the American website. Invest in them It completely confirmed the reputation of the record industry traitor.
But it seems feasible to buy the surrounding good plates...
"Oh, oh, oh, oh... Dr. Chen, find some switch, firewall, and anti-virus software companies to vote for."
Think clearly and take action. He has held some Cisco shares for a long time. He called the president of A+ Venture Capital in a good mood, "The Juniper we invested in before is for switches, right?"
"Yes, it is very popular now, and IPO will be possible in the second half of the year." Dr. Chen replied.
"Well, it took a long time... But it's not bad, and the industry has a good prospect now."
"It's still long? It was established in 1996...forget it." Dr. Chen was a little speechless,
"As for firewall manufacturers... Do you know about NetScreen? It was founded by us Chinese."
"You decide for yourself, and report to me when you find the target."
Unless he can find a sense of familiarity, he will not ask too many details, and then emails stockbroker O'Grady to discuss increasing the relevant sectors in the secondary market, but that will have to wait until he returns to Chicago to sign.
O'Grady expressed some concerns. With the intensification of competition, the cost of Internet companies is getting higher and higher, especially for software engineers. The salary level has greatly exceeded the two most popular professions in the United States: lawyers and doctors. Some losers such as Netscape and Infoseek have also begun to fall behind in the big bull market. Compared with YAHOO, which is in the limelight, it is really drought and flood. Similar traditional companies enter the market to take over the market, and they still make money overall.
"By the way, how old is your Kai?"
"One year old."
"Why don't you bring it with you?"
"forget it……"
Speaking of flooding, the women in the room also got up. Kai is the son of Jennifer Connelly and the photographer's ex-husband last year. He stayed in Los Angeles. Ten years younger, she and Quincy Jones have a youngest daughter, Kenya.
It doesn't matter, as long as the appearance is still there, there is no hindrance to galloping.
And it's better to be a little older than himself, there's not so much trouble, he feels that he has developed a little PTSD from being quarreled with by Fergie, Mira and his ex-wife in his early years.
"Ah!" Suddenly Jennifer Connelly yelled and ran out, throwing herself at the window, "Damn it!"
"What's wrong?"
"Snowing!"
"What's snowing?"
"Hahaha..." Nicole Kidman opened her arms and circled happily on the snowy set, raised her head and closed her eyes, and took a deep breath of the cold air, "That's great."
"The director told me to change to a snow scene, everyone!"
The assistant director has already ordered the heads, assigned and dispatched, and loaded the equipment to another location camp not far away in the mountains. The buses, logistics pickups, and the nannies of the distinguished creators have all been fired up and started.
"snort!"
She stared at Jennifer Connelly in front of the nanny car from afar with the victor's attitude, "The bitch who relies on sleeping investors to get the role." Yesterday's scene could not be filmed temporarily due to the weather, and she discovered the other party's secret , she has a psychological advantage again.
Jennifer Connelly slammed the door angrily, got into the nanny's car and never came out again.
There are also many snow scene scenes where the two are in the same frame. Director Tony Scott chose to shoot the simplest scene of rushing first. She walked in front, and Jennifer Connelly followed behind with a horse.
"Be careful, the barrel is cold."
It was very cold today, and it was even colder in the mountains. She changed into a bloated costume, which was not bad, with a black men's windbreaker and top hat on the outside. She only needed to tighten her waist to show her figure.
"It's okay, I have gloves, thank you." She took the shotgun handed over by the prop master and tried it in front of the mirror. She looked quite heroic.
And Jennifer Connelly only has a gray set, following her buttocks to lead the horse, and the horse trainer over there is also teaching her to be familiar with and control the horses. The horses selected by the crew are naturally very docile. In the snow, he led it to rehearse with one deep foot and one shallow foot.
"All ready!"
The rocker camera stage set up by the crew came early and was adjusted in place. The cameraman and the machine were raised above the treetops. The director wanted a bird's-eye view shot from top to bottom, and of course there were other normal camera positions.
The filming of the film was not completed on schedule yesterday, and the weather has changed again today. The director must be in a bad mood, and there seems to be no sign of it happening yet. She is active and well-behaved.
Um?
There were two more people behind the monitor, the executive producer Yeremov and the producer Xue Linfen. Xue Linfen, who was wearing small gold-rimmed glasses, kept greeting the creators kindly and asking for their health.
"What's the air of an outdated third-rate porn star?" She secretly complained in her heart.
Yeremov was even more frightening. The brim of his old-fashioned top hat was pulled down very low, and most of his face was covered in shadows. His lips were tightly pressed, and he said nothing.
From the beginning of the year to now, Yeremov has been exchanging passion with Bill McKennick, the president of Fox Films. Yeremov scolded Bill McKennick for borrowing money and begged him to invest in the Titanic project. It exploded but made false accounts, relying on the box office and other peripheral proceeds not to be repaid, 170 million was just sent to beggars...
He also vowed to send Bill McEnicke to prison.
Bill McKennick retorted that he was just a small role in Hollywood, knew nothing, was greedy, and was currently at a disadvantage.
"Every department is ready!"
After the director had a small meeting to talk about the play and explained the precautions, she and Jennifer Connelly, who had no communication, stood at the beginning of this small mountain road, and the end point was the cabins above. There will be no dialogue in the play ,Perfect.
Metering, final inspection of makeup, clothing, lighting, radio, etc., etc., "!" Following the director's order, she held a shotgun horizontally and waded up the snow.
This is the hometown that the male protagonist Inman misses. The air is thin and it is cold all year round, covered with white snow, and the trunk of the tulip tree is as thick as an upside-down locomotive.
The sound of the two people stepping on the snow and the sound of the bell on the horse's neck spread melodiously in the quiet studio.
"drink……"
The uphill was a bit steep, and Jennifer Connelly let out a strenuous growl, showing the state of pulling the rein with all her strength.
Nicole Kidman went around to the back, patted the horse's buttocks to cooperate with the show to help drive.
Maybe it was too cold, frightened or other reasons, the supposedly docile horse kicked its head and almost brought Jennifer Connelly down. After all, she was not a real German dragoon.
"Ka! What's going on!?"
Director Tony Scott glared at the crew's horse trainer.
The trainer apologized repeatedly and brought his assistant over to calm the horse.
The assistants of the two protagonists immediately sent things like hand stoves for heating and escorted them back to the nanny's car.
"Does Nicole have this scene?" Yeremov asked suddenly.
"What? Of course." Tony Scott replied doubtfully.
"I mean the action of beating the horse just now." Yeremov asked again.
"There are also..."
She heard it, turned her head vigilantly, and met Yeremov's dark and vicious eyes looking at her.
"Need to strike so hard?"
"It's okay...it's not very heavy...is it?" Tony Scott was not sure.
Yeremov hid his eyes back under the brim of his hat, and his conversation with the director became quieter and quieter.
"Not many scenes have been filmed yet... There is still time... Jodie Foster is willing... Anna and the king have sealed the scene... Liquidated damages are not a problem..."
Her nanny's car was parked in the downwind, and she heard all the key words vaguely. When she got back into the car, she threw the script book on the ground and stepped on it hard, "What are you proud of... What are you proud of... Sleeping investment Human bitch...likes to sue? Gossiping! Huh! Finding fault with me?! Jodie Foster is old and ugly!" He kept talking about going around in the car, thinking about not being angry but really reluctant to part with the role, and finally Sitting down holding the phone and making frantic calls.
"That's right, let Pai Kingsley prepare the evidence to sue them in court." Husband Liang Tang was so happy, "Jodie Foster is not cheap, she just got a maximum salary of 15 million actresses in Anna and the King! Adding your salary plus liquidated damages, that award-winning film will lose 100% of the money, and I will give them a good look during the awards season!"
Awards season? You can't get the prize yourself, bah!
"Don't be stupid! You can't find someone to expose Jennifer Connelly and him!"
Pai Kingsley yelled in fright, "Don't! We are not invulnerable. Of course we will protect you and Liangtang if you can't be sent, but by then it will be too late. Think about being punished by its anchor Gordon. Politicians step down! Or just...By Tom's opinion? Me? Give me another two days please? Fergie is clamoring to terminate the contract...I'm going crazy! Maybe Jennifer Connelly just went to meet Sherlin Fern ?”
Fergie can earn more than me, right? Pooh!
"I can't get in touch with APLUS! Are Yeremov and Xue Linfen here? Okay, I'll go find them, don't worry, no one can replace you!"
The spare tire writer is very warm, "Uh... Yeremov is very angry with your actions yesterday and today, he said that he meant it, and it has nothing to do with APLUS and Jenny, I explained it for you... Don't worry, he said he Just casually asking the director a few words, nothing else."
But not strong enough! And it's too naive to lie! It will be too late then!
"I'll help you find someone, don't worry about Nicole, who is Yeremov?"
'Crocodile Dundee' Paul Hogan has always been very protective of her, initiated a relationship and quickly called back, "I got in touch with Baz Luhrmann, and he said that he had dealt with APLUS when he was filming Romeo and Juliet modern times, and APLUS owed him one Favors... If the mediation fails, I will bring Mel Gibson over to help you talk. You don’t want to lose that role, do you? Well, you won’t lose it. At worst, I’ll go to Mr. Murdoch.”
All of the above are members of the Hollywood Australia Gang, Paul Hogan and the Murdoch family can talk, and in the end they are still warm and warm...
Huh? No, isn't Yeremov in the middle of a bloody lawsuit with Fox Films, a subsidiary of Murdoch's News Corporation?
There is no wrong nickname. In addition to being a classic role played by Paul Hogan, Crocodile Dundee also has another meaning of insinuating his big mouth.
"S, you are still in Canada!"
After carefully filming the snow scene that day, at night, she cleaned up her mood, put on her favorite Chanel haute couture, and dragged Charles Fraser to the appointment.
"I really don't want to meet outsiders, you know Charles, the MV for DISS Grammy is about to be released, it will be very troublesome for reporters to find out."
Song Ya made up nonsense casually, "Hi Nicole, please sit down. Yeremov..." He tilted his head to gesture to Yeremov beside him, and Yeremov snapped his fingers to call for the waiter.
"I apologize for what happened yesterday. It was really not intentional today..." She apologized sincerely after sitting down.
"I know, it's okay, oh yes, Mr. Baz Luhmann asked me to say hello to you on his behalf."
Sure enough, Baz Luhrmann worked, and he really owed fellow Baz Luhrmann a favor.
Fortunately, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Would you like to be an example?" Yeremov was more aggressive, his face smelled like a stone.
"I won't be an example...I promise." She held down the large V-shaped neckline of her evening dress, and solemnly stated her position flexibly. Anyway, there was no one else present, so it's okay to humble yourself occasionally in front of people like APLUS and Yeremov.
"Don't be too nervous Yeremov, the Cold Mountain project will not be tossed if it doesn't have to be tossed."
Song Ya and he sang together to be a good person, "Stop talking about this, let's order something..." Just as the restaurant waiter came to the table.
"call!"
The big stone in her heart finally fell. Since it was Baz Luhrmann who helped, I started the chat from Baz Luhrmann. Charles Fraser was very talkative, and the atmosphere gradually relaxed during the meeting.
The British called him the Black Pharaoh, and he was not wrong. The comprehensive power should be the pinnacle of African-American mixed blood in the history of the United States, right? In Hollywood there is no doubt...
She looked at Yeremov, who was helpfully pouring the wine and passing the tableware, and at the lazily eating and chatting man, thinking to herself.
"Oh, by the way, Nicole wants to ask you for acting skills." The warm male writer took the opportunity to help.
"Nicole did a great job..."
"Don't be perfunctory with us APLUS, Jenny's Ruby has been turned into gold by you, and Nicole's Ada must have unique insights, right?"
Charles Fraser laughed and said, "Although I wrote it, I don't know how to act after all."
"You don't really think I have acting skills, do you?" Song Ya laughed at herself, "Haven't you seen the roles I played?"
All four of them laughed, "Just say something casually, say a little more."
"Alright alright."
With sufficient motivation, Song Ya officially looked at Nicole Kidman generously, a big white girl who is 1.8 meters... she is so white that she shines, and she is very beautifully dressed today. In fact, she has always been more beautiful in real life than in front of the camera. Good-looking...beautiful enough to be aggressive, aggressive beauty.
"Well……"
Nicole Kidman sat up a little more, smiling silently as she waited for comment.
Song Ya closed her eyes as she did that day, recalling.
Worse, she also acted in the original version of Leng Shan's Apocalypse, and her facial muscles in the original version are not as agile as they are now, and they are already a bit weirdly stiff.
Is she already in the period of appearance tail?
We must seize the last good time...
Female one female two female three female four, ride! can ride!
In terms of acting skills... there is not much difference, so how to teach?
"It's really perfect, you have to have confidence in yourself Nicole." Who can I teach without Tianqi's help? ?
All I can say is that Leng Shan himself has invested so much money after all, so don't teach him the wrong way.
"Yeah?"
Hehe, the role is kept but I still have to let the bed-climbing bitch overwhelm me, right? She tried her best to restrain the irritability in her heart, and smiled happily, "Thank you for your compliment APLUS."
"you deserved."
The topic couldn't continue, and we chatted and talked about the shooting schedule, "Then it's snowing, so we will shoot the snow scene first? Tomorrow? That scene?" Song Ya asked casually.
"Tomorrow..." Yeremov flipped through the notebook, "Director Scott arranged for the scene where Jenny found her father dead in the snow."
Damn it! That scene will be the most intense emotional release of bed-climbing Bichi, more anti-customer than yesterday at the door of the wooden house...
Later, her mind was full of this, she struggled fiercely in her heart, and kept picking up the wine glass.
I really don't want to lose...
APLUS is so calm, all his coquettish tricks don't work anymore, he is the most scumbag, he has been immune to it for a long time!
"You're drunk Nicole."
"I didn't...hehe."
She leaned against Charles Fraser like mud, with one arm tightly wrapped around his neck. After all, he was 1.8 meters tall. Charles Fraser was led staggeringly to the door of the room by her, "Thank you."
"Shall I walk you in?"
"No, I can do it myself, the assistant is inside..."
"OK, then you should rest early, tomorrow will be such a cold location..."
"Well, thank you." Give another kiss to fix the warm man. It is a little more intimate than a close-to-face kiss, and the corners of the mouth meet the corners of the mouth. Even if you are drunk, you can still grasp the scale very accurately.
Charles Fraser knocked on the door very happily and gentlemanly, and handed her over to the assistant after the assistant opened the door.
"well!"
Throwing the handbag on the sofa, she couldn't hide her disappointment and fell down, a little bit like crying.
"Ms. Finn?"
The phone rang, and the assistant helped to answer it, "APLUS said that you seem to be drunk, let me ask if you made it to the room safely..." Xue Linfen said.
"Thank you, I'm fine, I'm here."
"Okay, then we can rest assured, oh yes, if you want to discuss the role, you can actually come to my place, do you know the floor where I live?" Xue Linfen said again, "You can do it anytime."
"Okay... I'll think about it..."
'Ding! '
The elevator door opened, and she arrived alone at the floor she had visited yesterday, and saw a black guy listening to music with headphones, it was late, and there was only one.
Old Hei didn't seem to like to talk, so he gestured to lead her to Xue Linfen's door.
"Come in..." Xue Linfen, who had put on her pajamas and was yawning, led her in.
It's over, any fluke is the most stupid, and the black pharaoh is really there.
