Chapter 1503 The World Is in Chaos

"Rashida, you..."

That old Quincy Jones was instigated by his precious daughter to 'help himself' to acquire Warner Records, and he put in a lot of effort to help himself from the perspective of his father and daughter, which may actually add to the chaos from his own perspective, but subjectively it must be good intentions, so This time, the old man thought he had been tricked and became furious.

Song Ya looked down at Rashida, who was not human but still diligent.

After all, she has been licking herself sincerely for so many years, her obedience has been tested for a long time, and her heart is not made of iron, so she should give some compensation, "Do you have any plans for the future?"

"ah?"

Rashida took the opportunity to rest her sore cheeks, then wiped the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand in a daze, "What plan?"

"The ratings of the hip-hop competition are down. What do you want to do next? Act in a movie? Stay at ACE and continue working?"

Song Ya asked, "Or go to Warner Records?"

"I want to be your girlfriend..."

Rashida said pitifully, blinking her watery eyes.

"That won't work."

Song Ya put away the dick and zipped it up so that she wouldn't lick it, and shook her pointed chin casually, "Hey, talk about something else."

"Woo woo woo..."

"Stop crying, come here."

"oh."

"To be honest, Doug Morris is old after all, and he needs a senior assistant." Song Ya hugged her for advice.

"I don't want to go into the record business and start all over again..."

Naturally, Rashida has also considered the future of her personal career. "I want to be the anchor of a more serious program on Channel A. It is best to have some free personal time. It is of course good to have a movie." She also has a big screen dream , After speaking, he stuck out his tongue embarrassingly with a smile.

"It's a little too much, girl..."

The anchor of the news station has one radish and one pit. Except for McAvoy and Jones Stewart, the two top stars, the other anchors of Channel A, Xi Dong, have to go through fierce competition. Rashida’s requirement that the two are not close is not good. alley,

But Song Ya still decided to do it, "Okay, I will call Ms. Sloan some time."

He smiled again and asked, "Ms. Sloan likes you very much. In fact, it would be nice for you to be the CEO assistant of Litman Media."

"I don't like doing administrative work," Rashida said.

Well, she is still at the age when she can't bear to stay away from the camera, Song Ya is kind, "Maybe I will let you star in a movie tomorrow."

The heroine of Explosive Drummer doesn't have much role, and she doesn't need too good looks and acting skills, but she is still the heroine.

At this time, the communicator rang, and Song Ya pressed it casually, "Mr. Daniel Glass is looking for you." The secretary's voice came.

"call!"

Daniel also got nothing like Quincy Jones for the time being, Song Ya glanced at the time, "Let him wait for me in Beverly Hills first, Amy's."

The acquisition of Warner Records broke the ceiling. Song Ya expected that there would be a big impact, but it was still more violent than expected. Once the layoff plan was announced, there was a huge shock in the American record industry. big.

No party was arranged, and Warner's Madonna and other superstars were not seen. Song Ya didn't even plan to meet the new president L.A. Reid, and handed it over to Doug Morris.

"Soup was so funny on Oprah, what was he thinking? A man in his forties bouncing around on the couch."

Amy's house is rarely used for parties, but it is not an obstacle to Daniel. When Song Ya returned, he had already touched the door and was chatting with Hayden, Yeremov, Doug Morris and others.

"Maybe he wants to show his youthful attitude. It's just like being smeared by public opinion." Hayden guessed, "He should be more cautious. Oprah and Harvey are very close, and his ex-wife... "

Oprah's baiting Tom once again, somehow tricking her into jumping on the couch like a child on her talk show to make a public show of love to new girlfriend Katie Holmes.

It was nothing more than hype about his slightly out-of-order behavior, and Liangtang became the object of ridicule by Quanmi. In addition, the ex-manager Pai Kingsley reluctantly broke the news and smeared him. .

"It's also possible that they are flattering Lei Shidong. Lei Shidong has always wanted to force Liangtang to bow his head."

"Impossible? Directed by Spielberg, the Paramount blockbuster 'War of the Worlds' starring Pretty Soup is about to start filming. What good does it do Redstone to ruin Soup..."

All the people present were their own people, and everyone talked freely.

Amelio, O'Grady, Donna Donna Dupin, Dr. Chen and others from the nearby business circle also enjoyed hearing the Hollywood secrets.

"There's nothing wrong with staying away from Oprah anyway."

Song Ya heard a little tail when she entered the door, and said with a smile.

"Hahaha!"

The addition of the black pharaoh seemed to make this matter more interesting. Everyone laughed and greeted each other with "BOSS, Mr. APLUS, Mr. APLUS".

"Stay in Los Angeles for a few more days?" Song Yaxian shook hands with his friends in the business world. Most of them had to go back after dealing with Warner's affairs. O'Grady said that he would leave that night, "Hayden, arrange my private jet."

O'Grady, who had caused serious losses to the company during the dot-com bubble, turned around this year. On the one hand, the Internet sector recovered. On the other hand, Northern Trust was passively involved in the Enron incident because it managed the 401K plan of some Enron employees. In the follow-up investigation In, CEO and President William Osborne was found to have mismanaged and breached fiduciary duties, and William Osborn was forced to resign as president, leaving O'Grady with a big pocketbook.

Of course, the inside story of office struggles in large companies will not be so simple. O'Grady's victory must have given up his old nose, and Song Ya has always maintained his support.

"Oh, right."

Feeling that Daniel was looking forward to himself while hesitating to speak, "While everyone is here." Song Ya deliberately said in public: "When the layoffs of Warner Records come to an end, I am going to let Metropolis Publishing Company and Daniel's Glass Records How about buying them all?"

When Doug Morris was the CEO, Daniel knew he couldn’t fight, so he didn’t make a fuss. L.A. Reid was black. He knew that Song Ya needed a black face in the top management, and he understood it, but he always complained about his empty hands.

Metropolis Publishing Company has a share of him, and Warner will take over Glass Records, which is becoming more and more difficult for him to maintain. After two acquisitions, he will be able to exchange for a share of Warner to become a director. He should be satisfied.

Sure enough, Daniel's eyes lit up instantly.

"Metropolis and Warner Music's global distribution network are complementary, but Glass Records..." Doug Morris shook his head.

"Doug...we've been friends for so many years." Daniel looked at him again.

Doug Morris just shook his head.

When Daniel's gaze came back, Song Ya patted his arm, "You guys discuss it." The tycoon quickly circled the social circle with style, "Come with me." Called Yeremov to the study alone .

"Pixar delayed Cars until next year?"

After all, he still cares most about the Disney battle.

"Yes, the ticket was skipped to the summer vacation of 2006." Yeremov replied.

"Damn it, this Jobs."

Jobs claimed that he ended his cooperation with Disney after Cars, but now that he is playing this game again, he has plenty of time to move around.

"So far, Jobs has not responded to Eisner's invitation."

Yeremov is responsible for the intelligence gathering work in Hollywood. Anyway, A+ Entertainment doesn’t have any big projects. His current main job is to go to major independent film festivals to acquire copyright distribution rights, or buy some low-cost old films and B-level films from small and medium-sized companies. copyright.

"Well, Xuelin is going to start filming Twilight, what do you think?"

Song Ya asked.

"For a youth drama with vampire elements, if you use a beautiful newcomer to play a high school student, the cost of special effects will not exceed 30 million."

It's good to have a job, Yeremov replied: "The original book is very popular now, Xuelin and I went to meet the author several times, and she said that I still read the first book of Fifty Shades of Grey, which was written by you." That part of the script aroused the passion for creation! But she has a lot of demands on casting and screenwriting rights, and she is very stubborn. I don’t want to agree, but Xuelin...you know, Xuelin loves that book now."

"Yeah?"

Song Ya blinked, "Xuelin is also an old producer, she should understand, you help supervise the cost, and let her do the rest." Forget it, for projects less than 30 million, just keep the promise and let Xuelin Lin Fen lets play with her temper.

"You've been shortlisted for this year's Emmys for the first few episodes of Grey's Anatomy. Do you want to give it a shot?"

Yeremov announced the good news again, "If you win the Emmy Award again, you will have the three awards of Oscar, Grammy and Emmy in one, and you are only one step away from EGOT (plus a Tony Award)."

"Emmm...Okay, go and do it, and come to me if you need any resources."

Song Ya was moved by this honor and nodded in agreement.

"Disney is in a mess right now..."

"It's a mess," Yeremov said before retiring.

"I know."

Disney is indeed in a mess right now, and Eisner's CEO's office has become a mess.

"Cars suddenly said that the tickets were skipped. What should we do with the distribution department? We have already invested a lot, and Jobs is playing us!"

Cars is released by Walt Disney Animation, but even Hollywood giants cannot maintain two parallel distribution systems. Naturally, Bowei Pictures also has auxiliary responsibilities. The executive vice president took pictures of His Majesty's desk. It's so loud, it's just showing that I don't want you in my eyes.

"Jobs used this trick to deliberately prevent the arrival of DreamWorks Animation. It is impossible for Katzenberg to wait until next summer! DreamWorks Studios will soon be sold to Paramount by Spielberg and David Geffen. By the end of the year, everyone Probability! At the end of last year, Katzenberg took the initiative to break up the partnership in order to come to Disney, but this year, the other two partners will be exposed to the ice and snow at -57 degrees below zero!"

Harvey said loudly, "He can't wait, and the animators and special effects artists under his banner can't wait. Long-term uncertainty will make it impossible for DreamWorks Animation to retain talent!"

After the two yelled at His Majesty the Emperor, they found that their positions were the same. They looked at each other and turned their heads. Harvey continued his complaint: "Do you know what's going on outside now? They say you and Lei Shidong are fighting with other people. The five majors cooperated to successfully separate the Big Three and ruined DreamWorks!"

"Ha! That's not such a bad name, is it?"

This move by Jobs made Eisner more secure on the Diaoyutai, but he was cheerful, which was not the attitude he used to offend his subordinates.

"I can't stand you!"

Harvey was originally an arrogant character with his nose on his face, and he became more and more mad. He first shook his face at His Majesty, and then pointed his index finger at the executive vice president of Bowei Films, "Also, don't think I don't know what's going on in' You guys were behind the scenes during the release of Sin City, you warned you, better be honest!"

Sin City is a movie co-directed by his Miramax director Robert Rodriguez, Quentin Tarantino and comic master Frank Miller. After it was released, it received unanimous praise at home and abroad, but he couldn't be annoyed that Buwei Pictures stumbled a little in the distribution, especially the international distribution that Miramax couldn't reach.

Eisner was so annoyed by his actions that he couldn't laugh anymore.

"You have victim delusions!"

It's all fighting out of the dog's brains, who is afraid of whom? The executive vice president in charge of Bowei Films had been licked by Disney's production companies before, so he immediately turned back, "Don't talk nonsense without evidence! Do you think you haven't caused me enough trouble?"

"You can't control me, oh yes, your master APLUS is already planning to leave Warner, has he left a job for you? Oh, wait, it's a record company..."

"Fxxkyou Harvey."

"And people are almost fired haha."

"I'm not going anywhere."

"Believe it or not, if you fall into his hands, he will also fire you?"

"Why don't we start by talking about when you get out of here?!"

The two were arguing, and the door was pushed open again, "Why did ABC expose the scandal of my anchor!?" The person in charge of the sports station ESPN rushed in and questioned.

"Well……"

Eisner really didn't know, "What's going on?"

"Where's Robert Iger? Call him here! What the fuck!" The person in charge of ESPN searched around but couldn't find Robert Iger, and sprayed dirty on the spot.

Eisner covered his heart and took out his handkerchief to wipe his sweat.

The high-level fights and the middle-level teams stand in line, so the anchors, editors, actors and singers who belong to different middle-level teams will naturally take the opportunity to avenge their grievances. Disney is completely messed up.

"George, this is not acceptable. Next year will be the midterm elections. We have a good chance of winning back the House and Senate."

George Mitchell, who was in the chairman's office, also received a call from Underwood, "Disney must remain stable."

"Fxxkyou Underwood, I don't want to listen to you saying 'this is not okay,' Arkansas makes this call in person, don't think I don't know which side you are on." But no deterrent.

"The former Grand Commander and his wife liked Harvey, but Harvey yelled outside that you and Paulson played him."

Underwood is naturally on Song Ya's side, "This is not good, I mean your alliance with Paulson...The George Dynasty is considering him to take over as the finance minister."

"Fuck you, I'm the chairman, Goldman Sachs is a Disney shareholder, that's all."

George Mitchell relied on his old age to show his old age anyway, "Don't use your bluffing tricks against the Congressman on me, you were still drinking milk when I was a Senator, Underwood!"

"But it's really not good."

Underwood wasn't angry at all, "If you plan to come back in 2008, you can't get too close to Paulson, can you? Politicians are all looking at Disney now, and the trouble there is a bit out of place."

"what do you want to say in the end!?"

"Help the partisans rein in Disney's influence in Hollywood and TV instead of pushing them all to the opposite side, and we'll pay back."

Underwood said: "Anyway, in 2008 you need A, B, B, and A, don't you?"

"Well, you're still lobbying for that kid in Chicago."

As soon as A George Mitchell was mentioned, he became sober, "He himself is the source of the greatest confusion! Tell him, let him wait!"
