Chapter 1340 Looking Forward to the Awards Season

Text Chapter 1340: Looking forward to the awards season

"Vivendi CEO Messier looks a bit like Mr. Madoff, but this Frenchman has a lot of high profile."

Song Ya secretly appeared at the home of David Geffen's Jack Warner estate.

"The Ministry of Commerce's remarks are very timely, and should affect some of the transaction prices of both parties." David Geffen dusted off his cigar, "A merger of this scale may be delayed until the end of next year..."

"No, that man has always been fast, he can't wait." Song Ya expressed his judgment.

"Um."

David Geffen nodded in agreement. He was a little bit downcast today, lazily sank on the soft sofa and sighed, "Time flies so fast, the next century is coming, and in the century of the 20th century... too much has happened. thing……"

"Yes." Song Ya agreed.

David Geffen picked up the wine glass, the two touched each other and drank in silence. In the study room, there was only the sound of the TV and the unique aroma of Cuban cigars.

"Mr. Geffen..."

"Aplus..."

"You speak first."

"Let's talk about aplus first..."

And coincidentally said at the same time, "Well, that's it." Song Ya's trip was not only about exchanging revenge on the third generation of the rich, but also seeking support for Leng Shan in next year's awards season. The current situation is the DreamWorks movie American Beauty was the most popular, a dark comedy about family, ethics and mid-life crisis, and Kevin Spacey's male lead was very good.

As a movie in which David Geffen, a gay fraternity leader, also portrayed a classic image that perfectly interprets the phrase "homophobia is a closet", the man next door is a middle-aged white man who strongly opposes homosexuality The retired military officer, because of a wonderful misunderstanding, dared to secretly confess his love to the male lead at the end of the film and was rejected, so he shot and killed the male lead in embarrassment.

Last year, DreamWorks' Saving Private Ryan was mixed up by Harvey Weinstein. This year, the Big Three of DreamWorks are keeping a close eye on the award season. Harvey's Song Ya also tried it. Miramax Pictures has a high probability of being strong. The movie adaptation of John Irving's novel of the same name has not yet been released. Harvey's habit is to rank award-winning films at the end of the year, which is probably also the Christmas schedule in December. The specific situation is not yet known.

If these two award-winning masters fight again next year, let alone who wins and who loses, the unlucky one will often be the third place. Although Leng Shan was very popular with professional film critics after the premiere at the Tokyo Film Festival, but Song Ya knew herself, and she added Golden Stone Films and Daniel Glass's ability to win awards...it was still not enough for them.

"The awards season at the beginning of next year..." Song Ya quickly confessed her doubts to David Geffen, testing her tone.

"Spielberg, Katzenberg, and I don't want any more accidents." David Geffen clarified the attitude of the Big Three of DreamWorks.

"That is……"

Sure enough, Song Ya calculated the awards that the beauty of the United States might win, Kevin Spacey's best actor, for sure.

Annette Bening's best heroine also has a great chance. She is the wife of Warren Beatty, the benefactor of David Geffen at his lowest point. David Geffen can't back down.

Major awards such as best film and best director must also be the focus of their competition, as well as awards such as editing and soundtrack, which have a high degree of overlap with Leng Shan.

As for Harvey's Miramax, the cider house rules are Tobey Maguire and Marisa Curran, who have little acting experience, but Harvey has always worked hard to win actresses, and Marisa Curran is The substitute he found after being rejected by Charis, the sweet girl with the same blonde hair, might be as upset as last time?

Impossible, before Marisa Curran starred in The Cider House Rules, she was still in the youth school film circle with Angelina Ake and the others, so Harvey would be too amazing to be able to win an Oscar for the leading actress.

However, the Cider House Rules and Cold Mountain have one similarity. Both authors of the original novel acted as screenwriters for film adaptations. John Owen’s fame, qualifications, and influence are much greater than Charles Fraser’s.

The Best Adapted Screenplay award is up for grabs.

"Best female supporting role?" After all the calculations, only Jennifer Connelly has no strong competitors in the awards season, which means the right time and place.

David Geffen shrugged lazily, not knowing whether he was acquiescing or noncommittal.

"I heard that Harvey is planning to back down during the awards season?" Song Ya asked again.

Now there is a rumor in Hollywood, perhaps it is the news released by Harvey himself. In view of the fact that the last Oscar Shakespeare in Love beat DreamWorks' Saving Private Ryan and made Spielberg quite unable to step down, Harvey plans to be courteous to DreamWorks' third Oscar this year. point.

"Now...who still trusts him?" David Geffen replied: "He has zero credibility in the matter of winning awards."

"Ha ha!"

Song Ya smiled. It seems that Harvey was really saddened by the last Oscar of the DreamWorks Big Three.

In short, looking at the situation, Jennifer Connelly's supporting actress award is the first to be secured during the awards season, and the other awards will be nominated first... and then we will see the situation?

After falling out with Grammy, Song Ya had great expectations for Leng Shan and this awards season in the film industry. He wanted to show his power at this delicate time, especially to demonstrate to the rich three generations of Universal Otherwise, Leng Shan's huge overspending would not be tolerated so much.

"By the way, what did you want to say just now?" He asked after thinking it over in his mind.

David Geffen didn't answer immediately, but pouted at the TV.

"I can't remember, I can't remember what I said..." It was the scene of the richest man being publicly executed at the Senate hearing.

The body of the richest man kept swinging back and forth, and finally mastered the rhythm miraculously. Whenever the senator finished asking questions, his body just moved forward, approached the microphone, and leaned back after repeating the sentence...

"Hehehe..." David Geffen was amused, but his smile was a little tired, "I heard that this is a deliberate public relations strategy by Mr. Richest? In order to deepen his unshakable reputation as a Silicon Valley technology hero and genius nerd programmer image to gain sympathy and support from tech industry people and ordinary people?"

"I don't know." Song Ya shook his head. "In short, he is the richest man. No matter what he does, I am afraid that people will think that there is a deep meaning behind it."

"Um."

David Geffen was silent for a few seconds, "A...cough, aplus, after the crimereads website, are you planning to spin off the American music website as well?"

Sure enough, before Song Ya came, she was a little worried that David Geffen would bring up the matter of letting him go public on the Internet board to make money again. Is it because of this?

"Yes." He replied, "Littman Media will probably spin off the American music website in the next month, January of next year."

"Isn't this website much less visited now than before?" It seems that David Geffen has studied it.

"Well, there is no way. The communities that spread pirated music such as napster and mp3 websites are becoming more and more rampant, basically attracting users away." Song Ya replied truthfully, "Look at the lawsuits between riaa and major record companies next year. .But even if it is good, the American music website should not be able to catch up."

"Isn't it ironic?" David Geffen smiled.

"Yes."

Due to the strong implementation of the Digital Millennium Act, the American music website has changed from a former infringer to a victim. It is about to be shot to death on the beach by napster and mp3 websites and their followers. Liga music sites would be in a much better place now.

"If it weren't for the current Nasdaq market, the spin-off of the American music website may not be beneficial to Litman Media." Song Ya said.

"I heard it was strongly requested by institutions such as Morgan Stanley?" David Geffen really knows a lot.

"Um."

David Geffen wanted to rob money, but he seemed too embarrassed to speak up. It was rare that he was embarrassed, after all, robbing money...

Song Ya was like a mirror in her heart, thought for a while and said: "Morgan Stanley and the others are stuck to death, and the time is also very tight. It's not that I don't want to accept other people into the game, Mr. Geffen, but..."

"I understand." David Geffen nodded.

"If you intend to increase investment in the Internet industry, maybe wait a while? The two projects of the modern photography website and the stereo review website are about to start." Song Ya offered conditions.

"Oh?" David Geffen came to his senses and sat up straight. "Is there a specific timetable?"

"When will I let them contact your people? It won't be too late. One of the IPOs will be completed in the first half of next year."

Anyway, get a good domain name, whiteboard website, and then move the magazine’s past content to the Internet like the American Music Magazine back then. Of course it won’t be slow, because of the Internet speed.

Network engineers are in short supply in the United States now, but Silicon Valley has invented a way to outsource a lot of repetitive and dirty work to Asan software companies. The millennium bug problem is that some old software was not expected to be used across the century when it was developed, and a lot of it is used in the code. In two-digit years, a lot of boring pure code modification work was contracted to the software company over there.

The customer service centers of some traditional companies are also moving to Asanna. After all, it is a former British colony, where English-speaking human resources are abundant, and the point is that it is cheap enough.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your news."

David Geffen toasted again, and the two drank the wine in one gulp, "In short, there is no rush for the awards season, everything will be nominated and then coordinated..." His response has become much more positive, and Song Ya Before sending it out, he took the initiative to joke: "I don't need help to get the nomination, right?"

"That's not necessary."

Song Ya smiled. Wouldn't it be too small for me if I couldn't get nominations? He is already quietly preparing, and when the awards season starts, a large number of Cold Mountain DVDs will be sent to the Oscar judges, with magazines or other small gifts, and the upper-level relationship is also being dredged up. It is basically a mini version of Harvey's award-winning routine, of course. He didn't want to copy some of Harvey's evil ways.

"Goodbye Mr. Geffen."

"Goodbye aplus."

If it's just for the awards season, he won't let David Geffen enter the game to make money without risk, but if he wants to complete the revenge of the rich three generations, he must be sincerely united...

Song Ya got in the car, "Where are you going?" Old Mike asked.

"Uh... let's go to Burbank."

Song Ya picked up the phone to check the time, and called Yeremov, "Is Harvey at the Miramax headquarters? Okay...you can accompany me to meet him later."
