Chapter 1443 The Last Puzzle
Lee Daniels refused to give in after Taraji sent the word, which happened to be an opportunity for Song Ya to measure his influence in Hollywood. He didn't use any crooked means, he just appealed, and you come to me with Spike Lee. Talk to each other in the air, and at the same time use the energy of the media to crush them in an upright manner.
That's enough, public opinion will force others to stand in line, and soon, more and more black old-timers in Hollywood began to follow Spike Lee to join the ranks of Lee Daniels, Denzel Washington, Eddie Murphy, Will Smith, etc. Heavyweight movie stars also had to express their views. On the surface, they persuaded and smoothed things over, but in fact they were implying that Lee Daniels would give up quickly.
Li Daniels, who was powerless to resist and the public opinion environment was getting worse and worse, struggled for a while, and finally David Geffen's statement became the last blow to crush him. He had to choose to take advantage of Muhammad Ali's birthday in January 2002 Celebration and Song Ya bowed their heads when they met, reached a reconciliation, and then shut up.
That day is also known as the great unity day of the black community in the United States. Su Ge Knight and Puff Daddy, the mortal enemies who can't kill anyone, also took this opportunity to declare that they would end the dispute between the east and west coasts. The battle between the two not only directly led to 2PAC The death of the two rap superstars, Biggie and Cripple Gang, and the street blacks who belonged to the Cripple Gang and the Blood Gang have been fighting each other for many years, and they have also created countless vendetta murders.
Of course, it’s hard to say whether their reconciliation was sincere or not. Even Lee Daniels didn’t completely surrender. Maybe it’s because he has the mentality of his own baby when he gambled all his fortune and had a production cost of 4 million. After shutting up, he quietly encouraged the heroine Kimberly to come out and sell miserably. At the same time, Lionsgate Pictures, the publisher of Death Row's Dance, did not stop the award-winning public relations activities.
Playing this kind of cleverness made him completely lose the friendship of the black pharaoh who had good eyes and ears.
The owner of Lionsgate Films was only established in 1997. The owner is Frank Gusta, a banker in Montreal, Canada. From the beginning, he has had in-depth cooperation with Harvey Weinstein's Miramax.
Now the key person has become Harvey, and Harvey is 100% using Kimberly and Lionsgate Films. In the competition for the best actress, his Miramax has a chance to be the heroine of many movies this year, and the popularity Mistress of the Mill Nicole Kidman should have begged him too.
Then there is another unfavorable situation is that I also followed in the footsteps of MJ. After helping my teacher Barenboy to stir up her loneliness than fireworks to win the award, and knocking the worm Paul Bettany out of Hollywood, I have a relationship with the British showbiz and entertainment tabloids. The relationship is also froze.
Therefore, the internal test of the blacks has passed, and it is time to face the white opponents.
"In the history of Oscars, there has never been an African-American actress. This is racism and sexism. It cannot continue! The American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences must face up to this humiliation. History!"
Harvey is too cunning, and has enough influence on the Oscar judges. This year, he still refuses to let go of making deals. For Best Actress, Harvey's project under Miramax was shortlisted for two this year. BJ's Single Diary's Bud Nietzweger and Sissy Spacek of Unrequited Love.
Coupled with Jenny of a Beautiful Mind and Nicole of Moulin Rouge, a situation of four whites besieging Halle and one black is formed.
Before the awards season, there were mutual gains in the small awards. Halle lost to Sissy Spacek, who was supported by Harvey, in the most important Golden Globe Award. This is a very dangerous signal.
Song Ya, who had just stepped on Kimberly, did not want Harvey to benefit from it. On February 6, 2002, he attended the Oscar nomination dinner that he would not normally attend.
Then I was interviewed by reporters again before the dinner, with full firepower, "I call on all the judges who are eligible to vote, use your power to do your part to change this situation! It's time! We African-Americans People have waited too long for this day!"
In addition to shouting loudly, private public relations work is also in full swing. Harley's own money, A+ Entertainment's money, and Song Ya's contacts with friends, learning from Harvey's small gifts mailed to the judges, all who can Use all the moves you use.
"Leo?"
After spraying it cool, Song Ya entered the dinner hall with her arms around Amy, and saw Xiao Lizi at first sight. That kid has now gone to hang out with the Hollywood Italian gang, and participated in the director Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York project, filming, "How did you get here?"
Xiao Lizi has Italian ancestry, so it is not surprising that he got mixed up with the Italian gang, but it is a bit strange to appear at the Oscar event that he has always disdained.
"hey-hey……"
Xiao Li, who was sandwiched between Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro, smiled shyly and didn't answer.
"We persuaded him that no matter how popular a star is, he cannot be insulated from performance awards, which is good for him to maintain his artistic life." Martin Scorsese replied.
Are you going to change your mind and start accumulating points? Song Ya understood, but was a little upset that Xiao Li chose to stay close to the Italian gang. During the conversation, Robert De Niro, Motura's former friend, turned his head and did not look at him. air for a long time.
"The sequel to Fifty Shades of Grey..."
The original film of Fifty Shades of Gray obviously left behind a sequel, but with Xiao Lizi's status, his agent is very cautious about signing multiple contracts, and all treatment needs to be renegotiated.
Xiao Lizi showed his thumb and little finger, and gestured for a phone call.
"Okay." Song Ya also pointed at him with his index finger threateningly, and then patiently socialized with all kinds of people who greeted him all the way to his seat.
The list of nominations was announced before. According to the rules, only more than one hundred nominees are eligible to attend the luncheon at noon. There is no such requirement for the dinner party. The importance is much lower and there is no televised broadcast, but it is actually more grand. Hollywood people looking away from the camera are also more 'true'.
Jenny sat at another table with the Beautiful Mind crew. Not far away, Song Ya's eyes drifted over. She didn't respond and didn't even look at it. For Harley this year, after she publicly said that black actresses should take the lead, she was completely disappointed and was throwing a tantrum.
Don't blame her, for the actress crown, she tried her best to abandon all her restraint and compete wildly with Harley who can please herself better. Song Ya enjoyed it so much at the time, but now she has to bear the consequences.
Song Ya looked at Harvey who was muttering with David Geffen again.
"APLUS." David Geffen noticed his gaze, raised his hand to say hello, and walked over to sit down.
"Thank you for what you have done for me." Song Ya thanked him for dissuading Li Daniels.
"Small things."
Small things indeed for David Geffen.
"What did Harvey say?" Song Ya asked herself the most concerned question at the moment.
"He still refuses to let go." David Geffen shook his head, "This year is a big year for Miramax, our DreamWorks..."
This year, DreamWorks launched Shrek in the field of animated feature films. The main enemy is Pixar Animation's Monster Company, while the live-action film field mainly promotes A Beautiful Mind.
This year, Requiem for a Dream was only shortlisted for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, while A Beautiful Mind was shortlisted for eight categories. Harvey's Miramax has more than three films in full swing.
A Beautiful Mind is distributed by Universal, whose parent company Vivendi Universal is deeply involved in the Enron-Andersen scandal. This year's awards season needs to prove the power of one of the top seven in Hollywood, and there is no room for concessions.
Song Ya looked at Jenny's table again, and happened to meet the preoccupied eyes of Universal Entertainment President Ron Meyer, who was present in person. Ron Meyer should have been observing himself just now, and raised his glass to say hello .
Song Ya also smiled at him and raised his glass in return.
Ron Meyer should be panicking now.
Just last month, Arthur Andersen finally fired its main person in charge of serving Enron, David Duncan, a senior partner of the Houston branch, and David Duncan was unwilling to take the blame or die, so he simply went all out to bite the Chicago headquarters. out.
It turns out that Arthur Andersen frenziedly burned Enron's financial documents after Enron's false accounts detonated in October last year. It claimed that there were only a few thousand pages, but a video of a truck full of documents leaving the Houston headquarters has long been on the Internet and It spread wildly in traditional media.
Andersen then had to admit that it had destroyed Enron’s relevant documents and electronic archives. One of the Big Five accounting firms actually disdained even a small cashier to do low-end work. All the companies were questioned. The Dow Jones index, which had finally climbed back to 10,000 points, turned around again, and the Nasdaq index plummeted from 2,700 to below 2,500.
The Georgian dynasty fought fiercely. In Afghanistan, the rice army has entered into a security war to mop up the remnants, but the economy is in a mess. Law enforcement agencies have no choice but to bring the heads of Enron and Andersen into the criminal prosecution process.
Among Andersen's major clients, WorldCom and Vivendi Universal are the most precarious. The capital market is waiting for them to disclose last year's financial report, and the wolves of Wall Street are eyeing these two companies again.
Song Ya and David Geffen are naturally more concerned about Vivendi Universal, but feared by Tiger Fund's past of liquidating themselves, the unprepared two dare not enter the game again for a while, "By the way, what is your new special? When will it be released?" David Geffen asked after chatting with Vivendi Universal.
"On the 14th, Valentine's Day." Song Ya replied.
"You were right to delay the release, MJ's invincible situation is pretty bad." David Geffen said.
You don’t need to go to a movie theater with a lot of people to listen to records. The record industry in the United States recovers faster than the film industry. MJ’s promotional activities are all expensive big scenes. Sales still haven't improved, and it's the worst start to MJ's release since his solo career.
Song Ya knew that David Geffen and MJ had already reconciled and had a deep interest relationship again, so she comforted: "It's okay, everything will be fine when MJ's Wanfu Modi tour starts."
"You hope he gets better?" David Geffen asked with a smile.
"hehe……"
It's no wonder hope, Song Ya rolled his eyes and laughed twice.
"Harvey should be willing to compromise in the competition for Best Actress, and he may come to you after a while." David Geffen added.
"OK." It's easy to deal if you are willing to trade, Song Ya looked at Harvey, and the fat pig smiled back meaningfully.
"Ahaha, Mr. Geffen!"
The courtesan Halle laughed all the way back, sat next to David Geffen and hugged her with a kiss, "I'm counting on you this year..."
"Hahaha, it depends on your performance." David Geffen joked at her.
"Hmm, how do you want people to behave..." Harry acted like a baby, with a nasty attitude.
Both men and women eat, and David Geffen, who once talked about marriage with the old DIVA Xueer, couldn't stand Halle's enthusiasm, so he had to run away in the end.
Amy smiled and watched from the side.
Hollywood people begin to release their true selves after drinking, and they can fully see through it at this time. Hollywood is still a stubborn patriarchal society. Beautiful actresses are all attached to the big men. Harvey, who is in full swing, is a big celebrity. Four actresses, Meryl Streep, Judi Dench, Renee Zellweger, and Sissy Spacek, send kisses at the same time. Except for Renee Zellweger, the other three are old women, and the play is still very wild .
"I'll go too." With the actress in sight, Harley got up again and wanted to rush over to please Harvey.
"Almost got it."
Although it's okay to kiss, Song Ya just doesn't want to see Harley's lips printed on the arrogant face of that dead fat pig.
"OK, OK." Harry sat back obediently, then discussed with Amy in a low voice for a while, and then suddenly kissed the man's cheeks from left to right.
"Hey hey..."
When the dinner was about to end, the three of them finished all their public relations business and were slightly drunk, so they staggered and helped each other back home.
"OMG...OMG..."
At the exit, they ran into Nicole Kidman, an Australian big white girl who was circling around in a hurry for some reason, holding her head in her hands and muttering something.
"Is there any help?" Amy asked kindly.
"It's nothing...uh, APLUS." Nicole refused to help at first, and then said embarrassingly, "I seemed to be photographed by paparazzi when I went out with Harvey just now. He...he was holding my hand. Can you... Can you help recover the photo?"
"I probably can't."
Song Ya already knows Harvey very well. A boss of that level can't sleep with a young and beautiful girl. What Harvey prefers is to show a sense of conquest that can make famous Hollywood women bow their heads in public. If the hand is photographed by the paparazzi, it must be on purpose.
Harvey has his own magazine and voice channel, and Song Ya really can't stop it, and he doesn't want to make a deal with Harvey for Nicole. Harvey has kept restraint on his women for so many years, so he can't break the rules and disturb According to his business, Nicole even held hands with Harvey in private, indicating that the two of them have already made a deal behind their backs.
And this year, in order to help Harley become an actress, even Jenny can't take care of her. Nicole can't satisfy herself, so she ruthlessly refuses.
"Please." The Australian big white girl begged humbly.
"Sorry." Song Ya continued to shake her head. Although the other party sang and danced in the Moulin Rouge, and his current body and appearance were at another peak, it was obvious that he was already standing on the threshold of the old man.
"Damn it, you're a bastard APLUS!" the big white Australian girl suddenly cursed.
"Sorry, you chose Nicole yourself."
Song Ya shrugged, and walked around her with Amy and Harley.
"I'll get the best actress!" Nicole shouted from behind.
"Then I wish you all the best." Song Ya left.
"Damn it!"
After returning home, Nicole quickly searched the Internet, and sure enough, the photo of herself and Harvey holding hands has been posted by the paparazzi, it's over, her reputation... all over.
After divorcing Liangtang, he was completely unable to fight against Harvey.
"Nicole!" At this moment, the manager Pai Kingsley rushed through the door, "I was fired by Pretty Soup! Damn it! You shouldn't let the paparazzi take pictures of this!"
"Sooner or later! Harvey played me!"
"We only have each other!" Pa Kingsley's biggest artist is now the only one left.
"It's all a bunch of bastards! Scum!"
"We want revenge on him! Your ex-husband!"
"And Harvey! APLUS!" the two screamed at each other.
"Uh... what are you talking about?"
Pai Kingsley calmed down when he heard this, "Now we can only rely on Harvey, and APLUS? What happened to him? Did he mess with you again?"
"He is a bastard who refuses to accept his account after eating! A poisonous bee that stings people!"
Nicole was angry when she recalled what happened during the filming of Leng Shan, and she didn't get any awards for herself in the end. Thinking about it, she felt a loss, and her attitude tonight...
"Calm down Nicole, the black pharaoh is stronger than Harvey, much stronger, he has grown into one of the most powerful people in the whole rice."
Pai Kingsley took out a financial newspaper from his bag. The headline on the front page was accompanied by a large bust photo of Song Ya. The main title was: 'The Dust Has Settled! After two years of pursuit, APLUS finally became the largest individual shareholder of First Bank of New Jersey! ’ The subtitle is: ‘The business landscape is in full bloom! Will entering the banking industry be the last piece of the puzzle for the A+ empire? '
