Chapter 1349 Weather Vane

"Chicago 1990 ()"!

"I support small government and tax cuts, but we must start updating the tax code as soon as possible to close the loopholes that the rich and big companies like and are good at exploiting. The best tax law should be low tax rates and full coverage..."

"In terms of employment, education, and medical care, I promise that after being elected, I will promote the introduction of a series of federal appropriation bills to provide special funds for states and counties whose development speed lags behind the national average. The scale should be more than two billion knives per state per year. The money will be spent on locally relevant public services…”

"Especially in the midwestern states, I promise to set up special scholarships at the All-Mi University to provide students who are willing to become teachers after graduation, and introduce 50,000 teachers to local public schools with scarce manpower within eight years. Expand the distribution of food coupons..."

"I respect the right of citizens to hold guns supported by the Second Amendment to the Constitution, but we must strictly implement the qualification review, tighten the issuance of gun licenses, severely crack down on gun crimes, and solve the problem of high incidence of gun cases that has plagued the whole country for many years as quickly as possible. .”

"In terms of foreign, employment, and economic and trade policies, all the premise of my administration is to keep job opportunities in the United States. On this basis, I will cautiously support globalization..."

Peter's action was over the top, and he soon stood in front of the brand new campaign bus with Alicia and a pair of children. The whole family went into battle. They would set off from Springfield, cross the state and counties to start the campaign until they arrived in Albany in early February. Owa State, where the first bipartisan caucuses will be held.

Politicians can do the dream of a great leader. The election platform in Peter’s speech cannot be hastily formulated. It is very consistent with his conservative personality on security, employment and other issues, but some people’s livelihood issues are more left than Gore from the south.

"too late."

Ms. Sloan stared at Peter's family of four boarding the campaign bus, and said: "Most candidates have announced their candidacy in the second half of last year. I estimate that by Super Tuesday, his campaign will be unsustainable."

Super Tuesday refers to the Tuesday with the largest number of primary election states in the country. The Super Tuesday of the 2000 General Election will be on March 7th. At that time, there will be 16 states holding primary elections. The scale is very large, and it is the key to the primary election stage of the two parties. watershed.

After Super Tuesday, the general trend is basically settled, and Peter's time is indeed limited.

"Maybe it's a good thing."

Song Ya shrugged and commented.

Fundraising, advertising, and coordination of all aspects of the relationship were too late for Peter's campaign office to start, let alone the media. This was a very shabby and obscure campaign.

‘The governor of Illinois decided to enter the general election almost at the last minute. ’ The major news stations broadcast it like this, and it is impossible for the donkey party media to help him brag.

The Donkey Party's number two in the House of Representatives, House Majority Leader Dick Gifford, also began to set the tone, 'Peter Flock should resign on his own initiative. He is using the general election to divert public attention. A series of allegations of corruption and electoral fraud are eroding the credibility of the government and undermining the trust of voters in the government and our party. '

It is believed that the media that tends to the donkey party will react soon, and Peter will be attacked more violently afterwards.

But Peter's original intention was to protect himself, and he didn't expect to win the election in the end. It happened that the first stop in Iowa was in the Midwest. He simply didn't bother to curry favor with some powerful domestic groups, and the campaign bus would drive through small and medium-sized towns in the Midwest, trying to win the votes of middle and lower-class blue-collar voters in the area.

Sloan is seriously not optimistic about Peter, "Although Iowa is next door to Illinois, Peter has no accumulation there... Forget it, if you persist until Super Tuesday, you should be able to get a reluctant dismissal from Gore. Getting out of jail is enough."

"Um."

Song Ya nodded. It was two full months before March 7th, and Peter had to put enough pressure on Gore during these two months.

"Gore was mad..." Sloan added.

"Who isn't angry?"

Song Ya sneered, "When Peter starts to criticize him, he will be even angrier."

"It will be interesting if Peter can hold on to the primary debate stage with Gore in June." Sloan also laughed.

"Wow, you guys are really in a good mood."

A party was being held in Highland Park. Song Ya and Sloan were hiding in a relatively remote place to watch TV. Harley in a floral cheongsam looked around with a wine glass, and finally caught them on the spot. "Damn!" Song Ya slapped his arm, "YAHOO fell again! What should I do?"

"It's normal to have ups and downs, just take a break and accumulate strength."

After YAHOO's market capitalization reached a jaw-dropping high of 130 billion dollars, it has fallen a bit hard in the past few days. Song Ya doesn't like to talk about stocks with her, so she rolled her eyes and said, "Can you care about something meaningful?" The matter? Hold on! I have emphasized it ten thousand times."

"Hold on, hold on, sometimes I suspect that you don't even know how to trade stocks..."

Harry pouted and complained.

"Return it when you're excited, and pay me back the YAHOO stock at the original price I asked you to buy." Song Ya stretched out his hand towards her.

"I hate it..." Harley didn't dare to complain anymore. When Song Ya asked her to buy it, the market value of YAHOO was less than one billion, and the investment had at least doubled by a hundred times.

It's a pity that she didn't have much money at the time, and AOL, Cisco, Comcast, Northern Telecom, and ATandT in the $2 million investment portfolio were also extremely profitable.

Harley is now a rich woman no less than Sloan, and her hands are all tradable shares that are easier to cash out.

"Then stop making trouble and let's go."

Sloan smiled at the two and left early. Song Ya pushed Harry's back, and the two returned to the banquet hall together.

This is a banquet attended by Leng Shan, Blade Runner, the crew of Dance Out of My Life, and celebrities from the local Chicago film circle. There are many trophies, including Best Director, Best Film, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Original Music, Best Screenplay and the Most Promising Actor Award for the actor Caviezel.

This is an award firmly controlled by local film critics and celebrities in Chicago. Only a few dozen members have the right to vote, and they all have the right to vote for the Oscars.

Its selection tastes and award settings are slightly different from those of the Oscars, such as the addition of the Most Promising Actor Award, and the Best Screenplay Award is also different from the Oscar's selection threshold for the best adaptation or original screenplay. But it is still one of the Oscar weather vanes.

Harley went straight to Roger Ebert, the biggest film critic in the whole country, "Mr. Ebert!"

"Miss Berry, APLUS."

Over the years, A+ Film Studio has served Roger Ebert very well. They are both from Chicago. Albert is also a visiting professor at the University of Chicago, so he is close to the water.

In fact, although Roger Ebert used to accept the "entertainment" here, he has always been reluctant to socialize too closely, but now the young man in front of him is already the world's top rich man, and his talent has been fully proved in all aspects. There is no more psychological burden to come to Highland Park.

Amy and Jennifer Connelly are surrounding the old man, and Song Ya naturally held Amy's waist in the past. She and Halle both wore custom-made cheongsams today, highlighting their exquisite figures, and the touch of silk is also the best.

"Hi..."

Ever since the official announcement with Amy, Jennifer Connelly has been very 'cooked' to herself. Wearing a deep V evening dress, she smiled and nodded slightly as a greeting.

"Cold Mountain is great, APLUS, although a bit too long for me." Roger Ebert laughs.

"Ha, it's all due to them."

Song Ya tilted her head back, not intending to accept this praise. In public, he always disregarded his relationship with Leng Shan.

"Hehehe, it's a pity that the box office is not as satisfactory." Roger Ebert showed a regretful expression.

"Yes."

In the second week of its release, Leng Shan’s Beimi’s box office surpassed that of its main rival ‘The Genius Ripley’, ranking second after Elf Mouse’s little brother, with a total box office of 43 million in the two weeks between Christmas and New Year’s. Puli is about the same, but the total investment of the Miramax movie is only 40 million, while Cold Mountain is as high as 70 million, and the publicity cost is far more than that.

The next is the off-season, and this result is unqualified in Song Ya's mind. Even if the award season is a big harvest and it goes to long-term screenings, then the long-term income such as videos plus the global box office should be able to recover the cost.

"Miss Kidman didn't come?" Roger Ebert asked again.

"No...he seems to be accompanying Liangtang."

The Chicago Film Critics Association awarded so many awards to Cold Mountain, but only gave the best actress to Swank, the boy does not cry. Nicole Kidman should not be very happy, and her husband Liangtang relies on the art film The male supporting role in Magnolia is also well received.

In order to hit the Oscars, Mulan was screened on a small scale at the end of last year in Mimi. Today, it just opened on a large scale in Beimi theaters. After a disastrous defeat, Liangtang suddenly found out that it is expected to win the award with a male supporting role, and it has also begun intensive work. Public relations, the couple also had plans for the Oscars at the same time, from hype divorce suddenly became reconciled as before, and they joined hands again and appeared in the media frequently.

"So the main contenders this year are Cold Mountain, American Beauty, Boys Don't Cry, The Green Mile, Magnolia, The Genius Ripley and The Cider House Rules right?"

There is no conflict between Liang Tang's male supporting role and his side, so Song Ya doesn't care, he asked.

"It should be. Now the situation is becoming clearer. Let's see the shortlist for the Golden Globe Awards."

Roger Ebert replied. The Golden Globes are the true barometer of the Oscars. Although the judges are from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, there has been a high degree of overlap with the Oscars over the years. Today is the day when the nominations are announced. The news should be known in the middle of the party, and everyone is waiting.

So Jennifer Connelly is quite nervous now, and the black pharaoh looked at her very calmly today, and seems to have accepted the relationship between the two parties that is gradually returning to normal. Halle Berry and Amy Adams, he has no more free hands. , and dealt with it very absent-mindedly.

"Hey!"

At this moment, Charlize Theron, a South African diamond, took the initiative to intervene in the conversation of the four of them, "Mr. Albert!"

"Miss Theron." Roger Albert knew her naturally, "What? Last time I heard that you will be participating in The Cider House Law?"

"Yes, I turned down that role later, due to scheduling conflicts, I took Jurassic Park."

Dabai Niu has been well-dressed today. She is wearing a white evening dress with a large back, which is sexy and touching.

She glanced at the unresponsive man and answered.

"it's a pity."

Roger Ebert shook his head, "If the heroine is played by you instead of the jerky Marisa Curran, I think I can get a Golden Globe or even an Oscar nomination."

"Oh!" Charis felt a little wronged and sighed regretfully.

Song Ya scratched her head, today...

Mira and Natasha Kinski went to England for filming. Xue Linfen had a big belly and was about to give birth. Unexpectedly, Charis came here again.

He didn't want to hurt Amy's heart too much.

Jenna Diwan from the crew of Dance Out of My Life also looked over frequently. The women in the party competed for beauty, and their eyes were not shallow.

"The filming of my scene is over, and the director said that the post-production will take a long time." Charis seemed to hear what he was thinking, "I happened to be passing through Chicago..."

"Welcome, Charis." Of course Amy had heard the rumored messages between the two, she was very vigilant, and deliberately entertained guests like a hostess, "What would you like to drink?"

"Champagne?"

"Okay." Amy raised her hand to find the waiter.

Jennifer Connelly watched with cold eyes, feeling that there is something between the big white girl who is as tall as Nicole Kidman and APLUS.

Harley naturally knew everything, and most of the time she was in the middle of coordinating, taking the opportunity to hug and whisper with Charis.

Song Ya continued to scratch her head.

"APLUS?" Just then, Sloan brought a middle-aged man over, who belonged to Gore.

"Excuse me."

Song Ya slipped away immediately, "Amy, please help me entertain everyone." He went to get down to business.

"About Peter Flock."

As Sloan said, Gore was definitely not happy, so his people were also not happy, and the other party went straight to the point, "APLUS, are you going to support him instead?"

"We will provide some financial support. He is the governor of this state." Song Ya did not deny it.

"This is inconsistent with our previous agreement." Gore's people said.

"Agreement? Haha." Gore's victory is relatively stable. Song Ya doesn't want to offend the other party too much, but she must clearly express her attitude, "There will always be unexpected situations, isn't it?" He sneered and meant something , I believe the other party can understand.

"If you mean we changed the campaign manager..."

Of course, your campaign manager has been replaced by Little Daly's younger brother, why are you so embarrassed to come to me?

"Let me make it clear. I paid for it, and I only paid for it. Now that Peter Flock suddenly ran for the election due to an accident, he can only move some funds."

The funder also has a temper, 10 million is definitely gone, even if it is the so-called 10 million, Song Ya replied coldly: "I have chosen enough for this year's general election, I never imagined that there will be a year So much money will be spent to fund the campaign, I hope the deputy president can understand."

"OK, I'll pass it on."

"Say hello to Mr. Vice President for me."

"I will. Goodbye, Mr. APLUS, and I have to hurry back to Washington."

"goodbye."

After a little contact, Gore's people said goodbye after a few words, just as cheers came from the place where the main cast of Leng Shan crew gathered, he pointed over there, "You seem to be celebrating something, so don't bother me."

"It's a small matter, it should be that the nomination list for the Golden Globe Awards has been released."

Song Ya followed his fingers and looked back. Leng Shan's hero Caviezel and the author of the original book, Charles Fraser, were passing a piece of paper, "Help me deliver it." He winked at Sloan.

"good news?"

It happened that Jennifer Connelly was walking there not far away, so he followed up to inquire.

"I haven't seen it yet..." Jennifer Connelly entangled her fingers a little nervously.

The good news is that Leng Shan was shortlisted for eight Golden Globe Awards for Best Director, Film, Leading Actor, Leading Actress, Supporting Actress, Screenplay, Original Song, and Soundtrack.

"I have it too." Harry happily leaned over with Amy on his arm.

"Oh?" Indeed, Harley was nominated for best actress in a miniseries for her short-lived Star Trek.

"Wow……"

Song Ya sighed, then raised her wine glass with a smile and said loudly: "I wish the awards season a success!"

"Good luck!" Everyone toasted together, then hugged and congratulated.

Charis and Amy felt a little lonely. Outside the carnival crowd, they looked at each other sympathetically.

"Congratulations Director Scott, congratulations Caviezel, congratulations."

Song Ya and the creators who came around hugged each other to congratulate, and finally had the opportunity to hug Jennifer Connelly. While reliving the beautiful touch, he whispered: "I will try my best to help win the award, trust me."

"Thanks."

Jennifer Connelly's heart was warmed by Black Pharaoh's reassurance, "And your training on my performance last time..."

"Haha, no, it all depends on your own efforts, I just made a suggestion."

The two separated generously.

"APLUS." Sloan came over and snapped his fingers again.

"how?"

"Just got the news that the richest man will resign as CEO of Microsoft tomorrow, and Ballmer will take over. He only retains the chairmanship of the board of directors." Sloan said.

"Ah oh."
