Chapter 1379 APLUS2 Imagery
On Sunday night, the Taiwan talk show came on time.
The host Jones Stewart has become famous during the Monica Lewinsky case last year with his humorous, pungent and daring spoof style. It's like he was born to do this.
He added another outfield host to the show, usually playing the role of a reporter or various political and media figures, to have a cold and funny interaction with him. At the same time, all kinds of wonderful irony and teasing pictures interspersed throughout the program also add a lot of points.
On the studio stage, a mug, blue notebook paper and a pen that he often used to play with became his personal logo.
In this year’s election year, the ratings of various political talk shows across the country would have been better. His favorite party candidates George Jr. and McKean, as well as FoxNews anchors O’Reilly and Hannity, were extremely cynical, laughing and cursing. , At the same time, I don’t mind playing with the current commander-in-chief and Gore, Peter and others. Many viewers subscribe to the station just to watch his talk show.
The station followed the trend and moved his talk show to prime time after anchor McAvoy's evening news and Gordon's political analysis show.
"Hey!!, The Late Show, Jones Stewart from Chicago!"
He started the program with the customary opening remarks, and then quickly got into the topic, "Illinois Governor Peter Flock continued his campaign trip and appeared in Florida today..." A PS photo of Peter licking the map of Florida with a fascinated expression was immediately attached to the Next to his head...
The shape of Florida is indeed a bit like a human foot, and the audience laughed out loud.
He sat on the host stage with a smirk and turned his head to look at Peter in the 'void'. The stage and the audience were harmonious and happy. The close-up scene was frozen for a few seconds before the director cut the news clip of Peter's speech in Florida.
"Hehe, it seems that APLUS is finally getting impatient with Peter."
A group of people were watching in the office of Deputy Commander Al Gore, and his subordinates were all amused by this spoof picture, "Peter's speech today was mediocre and boring." His campaign manager, brother Daly Jr., said.
"Is APLUS also appearing in today's issue?" Gore himself asked without laughing.
"Yes." The man replied.
I wouldn't treat Peter so 'excessively' before, especially in the same episode when the backstage boss APLUS appeared in person.
"Yeah." Gore nodded noncommittally,
Keep reading while thinking about things.
The scene cuts back to the studio, Jones Stewart is leaning on the back of the chair and dozing off, and the audience burst into laughter again, "What did our Governor Flock just say?" He pretended to wake up and asked, and then waved his hand: "Forget it, anyway, no one Care about him..."
"Hahaha!"
"O'Reilly!" he then called out the name of the leading FOX News anchor.
"Hahaha!"
The audience continued to understand the laughter in seconds. O'Reilly, who is very popular with middle-aged and elderly white people, is old after all. He is old-fashioned, conservative, stubborn, and has poor acceptance. He often makes jokes when talking about new things such as the Internet.
"O'Reilly said yesterday..."
This time, Jones Stewart caught the handle again and asked the program crew to take it out and edit it into a joke for public display.
Of course, talk shows can’t all talk about political issues. Each issue will have a live guest session. Most of the guests come from celebrities who promote movies and records or best-selling book authors, and occasionally interview some social activists and politicians.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Let's welcome APLUS! And Halle Berry!"
Jones Stewart called out Song Ya and Halle.
The handsome man and the beautiful woman are both well-dressed and casual today, and they are also in perfect condition. They waved and smiled amidst the cheers of the audience. After shaking hands with Jones Stewart, they sat down on the couch beside the studio.
"Your new movie is coming out right?" Jones Stewart cut to the chase.
"Yes, Blade Runner 2 will be released on June 2." Song Ya replied.
"Wow, I remember you showed great skills in that series of movies, did you learn Kung Fu APLUS?"
"Uh...you've learned a little bit."
"A few days ago, Jack Chen came to my show to promote Noon, wow, he..." Jones Stewart was half lying on the chair in admiration, and put his feet on the studio table without any restraint.
"Raise your legs high? Or whip your legs?" Song Ya asked.
"I don't know much about kung fu...do you know?"
"A little bit." Song Ya replied boldly.
"Wow! Can you give us a live demonstration?" Jones Stewart led the audience to boo.
Song Ya didn't pretend, she stood up and kicked her legs higher than Kung Fu posture coolly...
Jones Stewart applauded along with the audience.
"Is this guy really going bankrupt? Suddenly so dedicated..."
In New York, Jazzy and his gang were also watching intently. The first thug, Biggs Karim Burke, watched Song Ya who was working hard on the TV screen and complained.
Neither he nor Jazzy saw the scene of Song Ya and Shakira with their own eyes on the day of the masquerade party, but there were too many people at the scene, and the news quickly spread to their ears, saying that it was the first time that APLUS lost his composure and went crazy. The real gun was pointed at his head, and his ex-girlfriend Shakira shot and killed him.
Although in the end Shakira didn't shoot but passed out due to violent emotional fluctuations, it is obvious that APLUS may really be going bankrupt, and seeing his ex-girlfriend flirting with others, so he simply didn't want to live when he was excited .
Damon Dash and his girlfriend Alia witnessed it with their own eyes, "Didn't you tell APLUS about our record company after that night?" He asked Jazzy.
"No."
Jazzy replied. The conflict between the two is nothing more than the issue of the shares of Roc-A-Records. With the booming career of Jazzy singer, and after the stock market crash, he was willing to spend 10 million yuan to get the shares of Damon Dash, and Biggs also left. If you can get a few million breakup fees, business is business. The relationship between the three seems to be close, but on the surface it can be considered passable.
But the ambitious Jazzy expects far more than that. He secretly does not know which next company he has negotiated with. The premise of this transaction is that Roc-A-Records can redeem 50% of the shares owned by Metropolitan Records at the same time.
It happened that APLUS suffered heavy losses in the stock market crash, and they all thought this was an opportunity.
"By the way, APLUS, there are some rumors about your investment business, do you want to respond to them on my show?"
Jones Stewart asked Song Ya after interviewing Harley and talking about some key points of Blade Warrior 2 to attract audiences to buy tickets.
"Uh... Actually, there's nothing to talk about."
Song Ya adjusted her sitting posture and raised her legs, "I know that the outside world is saying how much money I have lost. It is basically a fact. Yes, I did lose a lot..."
"A billion, two billion?" Jones Stewart asked.
"No."
"Not that much?"
"No..." Song Ya smiled wryly, then looked at the ceiling with an expression of memory, "About thirty... almost four billion."
"What the..." Jones Stewart covered his mouth in surprise, "Four billion...knife!?"
The audience was amazed, and Harley reached out and stroked Song Ya's shoulder to express comfort.
Jones Stewart asked again: "How could..."
"I can't tell. I just watched all this happen, almost did nothing, and then..." Song Ya herself was like a normal person, spreading her hands and laughing at herself, "It can't be helped, life is always so full. Surprise. So... I decided to act in my movie honestly, I hope everyone will go to the theater to support Blade 2 on June 2nd..."
Another laugh came from the studio, "You are so strong APLUS." Jones Stewart said sympathetically.
"It's okay, I'm fine, it's just a small setback."
"A small setback?"
"A small setback."
"Ha ha!"
That's four billion... Damon Dashi looked at APLUS who was still talking and laughing freely in the picture, and while admiring him, he recalled the day of the masquerade party.
APLUS gripped the black gun barrel, looked at Shakira with affectionate and crazy eyes, and he was still laughing, very weirdly and nervously.
It happened so fast that everyone around was staring at this scene in horror, not knowing why it happened.
"Ah!" Shakira screamed in pain with distorted facial features, and then her body fell limply to the floor.
Her well-known manager Estefan rushed over and hugged her, and the old man of APLUS's personal bodyguard also snatched the gun away.
Then more members of the Latin gang and APLUS bodyguards squeezed into the circle and escorted the two of them away, leaving behind a surprised and inexplicable crowd and countless stares.
"Perhaps he knew that he couldn't hide this matter, so he simply admitted it publicly on his TV station. It's a good public relations technique."
Jazzy said. When he rushed over afterwards, he noticed that Beyoncé's back was still sour as she stared at APLUS being surrounded and left.
but……
'puff! ’ He almost laughed out loud on the spot, and put his hand on his chin just in time to pass, isn’t it awesome? Even if you don't go bankrupt, it's probably the same. This is still good news for yourself to redeem Roc-A-records.
At that time, I will have a bigger future to start a bigger career.
In fact, at that time, some subordinates suggested that he take advantage of the opportunity of APLUS to catch up and redeem the Roc-A-record, but he still didn’t dare to chase after thinking about it. APLUS’s mood was unstable. At this time, go to the tiger’s beard and don’t go crazy again. collapsed on the spot...
"I know you want him to go bankrupt, but it's obvious from his reaction that he doesn't." Damon Dash knows this 'good brother' very well, and although he is also happy to see Jazzy's plan to redeem Roc-A-Records succeeds, his own career The focus has been on the wine business that cooperates with APLUS. Of course, I don't want to see APLUS go bankrupt.
"Oh my God, how rich is he?" exclaimed his girlfriend Alia, "Didn't he say his net worth was only $4.5 billion last year?"
"His stock has risen sharply since the release of Fujibi's richest list last year... Now it seems that there may be a lot left. In short, it should be no problem to still be the richest man of African descent."
Damon Dash explained a little bit, and he also felt a little sour when his girlfriend looked at APLUS at that time. Maybe women like a man who loves so madly and disregards his life, even if he is scum?
"So he didn't secretly sell those stocks halfway?" Aaliyah, who also suffered heavy losses in the stock market crash, asked.
"Probably not. He is a major shareholder of many listed companies. If this kind of public statement is found to be fraudulent, he will be in big legal trouble..." Damon Dash replied.
"Oh." Aaliyah's half-understood mood improved a little.
Those who felt a little relieved also included the Latin gang. They gathered at Shakira's house again, taking care of the girls who hadn't recovered from the unexpected incident at the masquerade party, "APLUS didn't run away, he might really have no money to defend Already." The friend who questioned APLUS said in the most emotional moment.
"Then even if you don't go bankrupt, your net worth will almost shrink."
"He also has record and movie businesses, which are very profitable, and he can't lose everything. In the final analysis, as long as he doesn't use leverage, he can still make money in YAHOO and other investments..."
"It's a pity, I thought he could go straight to the tens of billionaires... If he had the consciousness of Mark Cuban at the end of last year, it would be really amazing."
"There are not many Mark Cuban in the world, and his luck seems to be running out..."
Everyone was chattering, and Estefan noticed that Shakira walked behind him with a pale face wrapped in a towel, staring at the man on the TV screen who was standing up and gently supporting Harry's waist.
Estefan sighed slightly, knowing that sooner or later she would be moths to the flame again.
"Thank you! Thank you APLUS and Harley! Blade Runner 2! I'll check it out!"
Jones Stewart has finished his brief guest interview session and sees off the guest amidst warm applause from the audience.
"Is this kid really not afraid that Littman's listed companies will drop sharply at the opening tomorrow?"
On Gore's side, Little Daly's younger brother gloated and asked, "The chairman and largest single shareholder's net worth has plummeted. Is this a big bad news?"
"Fortunately, he doesn't even care about his own life." A close aide came in and presented a report, which was naturally the information from the masquerade party.
"So guilty that he would rather be shot to death by his ex-girlfriend?" Gore finally smiled after briefly scanning, "After all, he is young, immature, and love occupies a large part of his heart."
This is an episode for him, who is in the midst of a fierce election campaign and has to spare some time to govern the country. APLUS is well-known for his impulsive personality. Even if this kind of person's wealth plummets, his destructive power will also be reduced. Speaking of which, if the stock market crashes If it happened earlier, it is estimated that he would not be responsible for supporting Peter...
"Forget it, go get busy after watching." He motioned his subordinates to turn off the TV.
This kind of gossip news, the real media tycoon is better informed than the deputy commander.
"Hahahaha!" Little Bronfman almost laughed out loud on the chair, "Who is going bankrupt now? This kid dares to boast and bet with me! Is he worthy!?"
After venting, he asked Ron Meyer, president of Universal Pictures, who was accompanying him, "Did any of his other ex-girlfriends dare to pull the trigger? Mariah Carey? I really want him to repeat the scene with Shakira again hahahaha!"
"Mariah Carey... probably won't be willing, but Fergie should be willing." Ron Meyer teased.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
At the same time, Viacom boss Lei Shidong concentrated on watching the entire talk show, "This Jones Stewart is a talent, I really like the channel, and their head anchor McAvoy is also very appetizing to me."
"This has nothing to do with APLUS, it's all the team that Ovitz put together back then." The CBS executive next to him threw the blame, "The former CAA helm is still very vicious."
Lei Shidong ignored him.
"Should we continue to secretly fund Litman Media?" asked another Viacom executive.
"Wait a minute, this kid is happy when he speaks, coupled with his out-of-order behavior, he will probably cry out when Litman Media continues to plummet. Don't worry, wait until tomorrow to see Litman's stock price. Let's talk about the changes. Let our media start to help him..." Lei Shidong smiled cunningly and made a decision.
Of course, helping or something is ironic.
"OK."
"Uh, boss..." At this moment, a secretary pushed the door and walked in, "You said that you will continue to pay attention to any news from APLUS."
"Hmm." Lei Shidong took a piece of paper from the secretary, and his pupils shrank immediately after looking at it.
Several subordinates put their heads together to watch, "Microsoft's second largest individual shareholder, Paul Allen, sold two Boeing 757-200 airliners. The buyers were APLUS and another New York real estate tycoon. The two bid about 100 million knives each. Purchased from Paul Allen. '
"I'm drunk..." Estefan also saw this news in the news soon, "100 million dollars! 100 million dollars to buy a civil aviation airliner as a private jet!? How much money has APLUS made in the past ten years? ah!"
"Is the 757 a civil aviation airliner?" As a popular singer, Aaliyah has some understanding of the private jet market. "If it is used for private use, it will be expensive to maintain, right?" She was shocked by the news and was in a mess.
"I've been on it, and it can carry more than two hundred passengers..." Damon Dash replied, "Top stars usually only buy a dozen seats at most..."
"Wow... next time you borrow it for me? Okay, okay..." Alia immediately acted like a baby to him.
"Don't worry, I'll find a chance to mention it." Damon Dash proudly bragged in front of his girlfriend, and then looked at Jazzy.
Jazzy was scratching his head, his five fingers slid down his face, and his eyes continued to stare at the slender and huge 757 fuselage in the TV screen through his fingers.
"This kid bought an Air Force II!" Gore's confidants exclaimed after seeing the news. The C-32 model modified with 757-200 was the special plane for the deputy commander of the United States.
"His taste should be better than that New York real estate agent." Little Daly's younger brother used humor to cover up his disappointment. "This move is probably to give the capital market and creditors more confidence in their financial situation, right?"
"He doesn't intend to simply decorate it in the style of Air Force Two, does he?" someone said.
Gore turned to look at the speaker.
"It doesn't matter, Mr. Gore will be flying on Air Force One next year anyway."
"Ha ha!"
On the side of the Latin Gang, some people couldn’t figure it out, “Is APLUS rich or not?
"Well, it seems impossible for him to go bankrupt, but after being hit so hard, he probably won't be motivated in the future, and will spend all his money on personal pleasure like other stars... According to my personal experience, this is the case. Although the money he has left will never be spent in this lifetime..."
Estefan commented this way, he saw Shakira frowning and turned to leave out of the corner of his eye.
'boom! ’ Bronfman Jr. smashed another TV.
