Chapter 1504 Kingdom of Heaven

June 13, 2005.

"Alan, see you next time?"

The crew of Grey's Anatomy ended the filming early, and Alexandra Daddario, who was still wearing a hospital costume, flattered the heroine Allen Pompeo, but unexpectedly got a contrived smile.

"Hehe, Bye~"

Ellen Pompeo then turned and left without saying a word. She was suddenly left on the spot and she was not very good at dealing with this situation. The eyes of other people on the set must have seen the scene just now. She also I don't know how to resolve this embarrassment, and I feel even worse after saying goodbye to Ellen Pompeo's back, and I don't know where to put my waved hands.

"She doesn't do this often, maybe she's in a bad mood, go and change."

The crew photographer came over and asked, "Newcomer?"

"Yes!"

She was very grateful for the handsome uncle's warm-hearted rescue, and immediately opened her heart, "That's not counted, I have already acted in an episode of Law and Order, and the movie Squid and Whale! It will be released in the second half of the year, and... have……"

"Wow, you have good resources! It seems that they are all scenes that start in New York?"

"Yes, they were all filmed in New York. This is the first time I left there, no, the first time I left that filming."

"That's the New York girl? Let me guess, you live in... Manhattan, Little Italy, right?"

"Upper East Side."

"Whoa, that's a great place, upper class ah?"

"It doesn't count..."

Under the deliberate guidance of the veteran, the inexperienced little girl chattered endlessly, chatting all the way, and soon arrived at the door of her dressing room, "You performed well in today's scene, but there is still room for improvement. "The cameraman started a routine and wanted to follow in to help talk about the scene.

"Really? Please come in..." She hastened to let him in.

At this time, a film producer chased after him, stopped the cameraman and whispered a few words.

"Uh, sorry, I still have some work to do. I'll talk about Miss Daddario later." The photographer immediately found an excuse and slipped away.

"Are you still used to filming in Chicago?"

The producer who has only met a few times is very friendly,

After asking a few questions of concern, he rubbed her head in the way an elder expresses his affection, "I won't bother you anymore, just say hello to your father for me."

"Thank you, I will, Bye..."

However, she became less interested, and after watching the producer leave, she dragged her feet into the dressing room exhaustedly, "Say hello to your father for me, say hello to your father for me..." She said to the agent who came in afterward. The person and the assistant complained: "Everyone treats me like this for the sake of my father, right?"

"You're luckier than most actresses, Ellen Pompeo was a waitress in New York when you were your age."

The manager smiled and said, "I heard you were slapped by her on the set just now? Don't be angry, she's just jealous of you."

"oh."

As the daughter of the Manhattan District Attorney, where the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq are located, the dark side of Hollywood has completely disappeared here. Every crew has someone like the producer just now who came to take care of them and take care of them. Going to the audition is basically easy, and it's the same in Black Pharaoh's Chicago Kingdom, where she easily got the important patient role in the episode of Grey's Anatomy.

The strict father also set a lot of rules for her agent, no revealing scenes, no scenes with a too dark tone, and the need to report to friends of the opposite sex and get the consent of the family, etc.

She is a good girl on the Upper East Side, and her personality is not rebellious, so she can accept these constraints so far, and she focuses on each character that is full of freshness.

"Can you stop following me?"

The black evening dress is not too revealing, but she has too much capital, and she immediately transformed into a youthful and sexy stunner. After driving to Highland Park with the invitation letter, she frowned and complained to the agent who followed suit.

"hey-hey……"

The manager smiled and slowed down a little, but still kept close to her at all times. The owner of this place has a nickname, so he had to guard against it.

Today is the Grey's Anatomy crew's Emmy-nominated celebration party, so most of the guests are crew colleagues. The handsome male protagonist Matt Bomer is the center of social life, surrounded by beautiful men and women.

Ellen Pompeo arrived early and was chatting with the other two female lead actors, Yu Feihong and Laura Ramsey. She became famous later, but she actually pays attention to managing the popularity of the crew. The relationship between the whole crew seems to be good. As a film Grey, the famous intern doctor, is the only cosplayer who cannot be killed or weakened by the screenwriter. Her income and voice are getting bigger and bigger with the popularity of long-form dramas. She is currently the most popular in the American TV circle. One of the most powerful actresses.

Of course Daddario won’t look for it anymore, as a guest character who never sees again after one episode, she has no time to make friends in the crew, the Chicago TV circle and New York seem to be two worlds, in this strange place It's hard to find someone familiar.

"Hey! Mr. Yeremov!"

But she knew Hollywood bigwig Yeremov, and the last time AP revealed S was to ask him to personally send her the audition arrangement of A+ Entertainment, and her agent helped her choose the opportunity in Grey's Anatomy.

She happily rushed over to say hello.

"Miss Daddario, why did you come to Chicago... Oh yes, your part is already being filmed, right?"

The girl wasn't on the boss's radar for a friendly match, and Yeremov was well aware that, after her father's word to Hollywood, the boss couldn't afford to mess with a Manhattan D.A. and right-hand man in the Wall Street sheriff's faction. So Yan Yuese said a few words of concern and snapped her fingers at her girlfriend, "Let's show her around here first."

"Who are you……"

Daddario was very familiar with the beautiful woman who came over and hugged him affectionately, "You starred in Burning Hawaii, right?"

"Pounced."

The pretty woman rolled her eyes, "Come with me."

As a girl on the Upper East Side, the billionaire's manor house did not exceed her imagination, and she was even a little disappointed after visiting it inside and out, but at this moment, she saw the billionaire himself again.

It was at the back of the manor, facing a pier on Lake Michigan. The childhood idol in beach flower shorts and a loose T-shirt leaned against the tree trunk with one shoulder, and seemed to be looking down at something in his hand. The sun shone through the dense Leaves, mottled sprinkled on him.

In front of him was a thin old man with silver-white hair who was pacing with his hands.

On the outside, there are some bodyguards who are big and thick, and some of the bodyguards are holding big wolf dogs in their hands.

"Hey! AP Lu S!"

She immediately waved her hands and shouted, almost dragging her female companion who was visiting along with her.

"fine."

Song Ya stopped the bodyguard who was blocking people, and explained to the old man: "The daughter of prosecutor Daddario..." After observing the old man's puzzled eyes, he added, "Daddario of Manhattan."

The old man showed an expression of "that's how it is", and this sentence was also carried into Dadario's ears with the breeze by the lake. She felt a little lost, and everyone treated her like this for the sake of her father. Yourong, but you, are you included?

"Hi..."

She approached, put her hands behind her back, and shook her upper body to say hello.

Song Ya saw the shadow of Kasiti in her action in a trance. Of course, Kasiti is not as beautiful as her. She is in her invincible youth and she is somewhat like Charis when she was a baby. Bigger than Jenny, but those husky-like light blue eyes always grab all the attention at first sight.

Unfortunately, his father used to be Giuliani's, Italian.

"Are you here to film?"

"Tell me if you have any difficulties."

"Say hello to your father for me..."

It was also a greeting to the younger generation who cared deeply but was a little distant. Song Ya exchanged a few words and then lowered her head and continued to stare at the eight-digit number on the document in her hand.

For her father's sake, Hollywood will give her some extra care, yes, but it's not like licking a Manhattan District Attorney to the point of licking an important role with both hands, and a harmless supporting role. Same.

Sadness is sadness...

Daddario can see the sadness between the eyebrows that have been tightly locked. The 30-year-old man is really charming at this moment. The warm wind blows and is sad. Only sadness can make a tough guy with an athlete's figure and sharp edges His face of tens of billions of net worth is convincing.

The other super-rich people he is familiar with, such as the current mayor of New York, Bloomberg, are all at the level of grandpas, let alone artistic talents.

"Introduce yourself, Charlie."

The white-haired old man seemed to think that the boss's sudden ignorance was a bit impolite, and he extended his hand to take over the communication task with a smile, "Is Miss D'Artagnan right? It's an honor to meet you."

"Hello, Charlie..."

Daddario made the other party do an old-fashioned hand kiss, guessing that he should be an accountant or something.

"This contract... is one of the best talk show hosts can get?"

The old man was very kind and talkative. Daddario was responding with the demeanor of a lady from the Upper East Side, when Song Ya suddenly asked.

"There is no one, and it is better than Larry King."

The old man turned to explain to him, "Joan is the future. We can't grab the Comedy Central channel without this new contract. NBC's stage is obviously bigger. Joan insisted, she was very determined, and Ms. Sloan also agreed that we would come up with a new contract." This contract keeps people..."

"Yeah." Song Ya fell silent again.

New contract, talk show host, surpassing Larry King, and Comedy Central vying for...

Daddario seems to know who the two are talking about. Jones Stewart, the most popular talk show anchor, seems to have some rumors of job-hopping recently, and immediately clasped his hands together and asked excitedly: "Are you talking about Jones Stewart? Right? Be sure to keep him, AP Lus! I like his hosting style very much!"

It seems a bit big-chested and brainless? Song Ya raised her eyelids and glanced at her, "Can't you bargain any more?"

The old man smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Okay, tell his agent." Song Ya handed back the document.

"Thank you! That's great!" Daddario cheered, very happy, thinking that his request had an effect.

Maybe it was too well protected in the greenhouse, but it's not normal to be too scheming at this age, "By the way, my friends are all in the viewing room, right?" Song Ya gave Yeremov's girlfriend a wink.

"Let's go too." Yeremov's girlfriend understood.

"Are you coming with AP Lus?" Daddario asked.

"I'll pass later."

"Oh, then... Bye, AP Lus."

Song Ya looked at the back of the girl who left in disappointment, and she was indeed pretty, above 1.7 meters, um.

There are so many things I want to chat with this talented artist, literature, performance, music... Alas! Daddario asked Yeremov's girlfriend: "Who was that old man just now?"

"Don't you know him?"

"He said his name was Charlie."

"Charlie Skinner, Director!"

"So it was him..."

There are already some people sitting in the viewing room of Highland Park, and the famous director Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven is being screened. Hollywood people must have watched it early, so there are no "friends" in it, most of them are new faces. Already arrived at the Kingdom of Jerusalem Baldwin IV to meet the hero.

The king played by Edward Norton, who is suffering from leprosy and wears a mask all the time, did not show his face at all, and his performance crushed the male protagonist "Legolas" who played against him: Orlando Bloom.

The box office of this epic blockbuster was not good. Afterwards, the director Ridley Scott and Fox Films quarreled over the editing, and the stardom of the popular fried chicken Orlando Bloom also cast a thick shadow.

"I heard that there will be a director's cut version, as will Oliver Stone's Alexander the Great. It probably won't lose money through DVD income."

"Yes, just pay back slowly."

"Which camp is Fox Pictures and Paramount? Sony or Toshiba?"

"I don't know, Sony has just teamed up with Comcast to buy MGM, which has an advantage."

"It seems that Comcast is determined to avenge Disney's Seven Day War last time, and fight against Microsoft."

"Anyway, Microsoft's X-wave X360 will be released soon, and it will be equipped with a Toshiba HD-DVD format optical drive. We can only follow..."

A few people in the front row were watching a movie while whispering about irrelevant things, which was quite annoying. Daddario had also watched it, and endured the wait and wait until Song Ya accepted the appointment, so he sat for a while and ran out, "Inside What are those guys doing?"

"It seems to be someone from a technology company under AP Lus. Sorry, I'm going to say hello to my friend..."

Yeremov's girlfriend actually seldom came here. She was already a little impatient with taking care of the curious baby, so she simply found an excuse to get rid of her.

"Sony CEO Ken Kutaragi does not trust Howard Stringer. This time he used Sony instead of MGM, which was acquired by Columbia Pictures, and he also joined forces with Comcast and other consortia. For MGM, in addition to retaining For a few projects with profitable potential such as the 007 series, Sony did not give them the right to start work, layoffs, and spent the rest of their energy on operating the copyright library, and did not give senior managers such as Howard Stringer a repeat of Columbia Pictures. opportunity for a story."

"I heard that Howard Stringer is very disappointed..."

"The owner of MGM, Kerkorian, made a huge profit. He invested 1.3 billion dollars, suffered huge losses for many years, and finally left with a net profit of 2.1 billion dollars."

Daddario, who was on the order again, made a helpless grimace at the agent who had been staying not far behind. The two had no choice but to wander aimlessly, bumping into the oncoming flow of people: a large group of suits The white elite in leather shoes.

Words like Sony, Comcast, and MGM kept coming out of their mouths, "Alexandra! Oh, my little Alex, look, look, you're a big girl! "

Unexpectedly, one of the bronze-skinned old men held his face and kissed his forehead affectionately, "Don't you remember me?"

"Uncle Gallo!"

Italian-style enthusiasm, Daddario desperately recalled, and finally called out the other party's last name, it seemed that he was a friend of the lawyer's mother, and he often came to his house as a guest for a while.

"Haha, how are you doing? Is father okay? Where's mother?"

The other party greeted a few words like an elder, "I heard that you have entered the showbiz? Are you going well?"

"all good."

She answered them all obediently.

"Congratulations to you, Gallo. Your PGE law firm won the recent patent infringement case between Japan and Palm very well." The broker also knew each other and shook hands as a compliment.

"Haha, Palm and Apple fight fiercely, but this kind of thing is often the third child who can't stand it first..."

Italians can't speak without the help of hand gestures. Gallo proudly gestured for shooting, "Da da bang, da da bang!"

"You were talking about MGM?"

"Yes, MGM is over, DreamWorks is about to disband, and now there are only Big Six left in Hollywood..."

"Uh... shush!"

The agent saw the passing DreamWorks tycoon Katzenberg, and hurriedly stopped Gallo from continuing to talk about this topic.

Katzenberg obviously heard it, and frowned, "Have you seen AP Lush?"

"He's at the pier! I'll take you to Mr. Katzenberg!" D'Addario saw the opportunity and excitedly led the tycoon and his party.

"Thanks."

Katzenberg didn't recognize her, but assumed she was some prey of the Black Pharaoh.

"AP Lou S."

"Mr. Katzenberg." Song Ya looked at her who was going back and forth suspiciously, and took Katzenberg to the top of the wooden bridge on the pier alone, and the two talked secretly while looking at the scenery of Lake Michigan.

"According to Jobs' personality, it seems that he will not tolerate Eisner's control of Disney's power, but their interests in DreamWorks Animation are the same. Jobs' delay of Cars until next year is very beautiful. He wants to drag it until you can't bear it. live."

Song Ya analyzed for Katzenberg who was in an awkward situation, "Eisner needs time."

"I really can't stand it anymore, the 3D animation production cycle is too long." Katzenberg did not deny his difficulties, "Uncertainty is fatal. Will you continue to support me to return to Disney?"

"Of course I will."

Song Ya reassured him, "By the end of the year at the latest, our alliance with Roy Disney can lead to an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders."

"It's a bit late at the end of the year, when David Geffen and Spielberg sold DreamWorks to Redstone's Paramount, my animation company's heart will be scattered!" Katzenberg said: Dong also quoted the price to me."

"oh?"

Song Ya raised her eyebrows, "If you really don't want to take risks, you can also sell DreamWorks Animation to me."

"I know you still have a sum of money, the settlement of the Titanic lawsuit, right?"

Katzenberg just said that he didn't want to sell it, and he couldn't sell it at a high price in his own situation. Both Lei Shidong and the black pharaoh in front of him were very shrewd people, so they found excuses to shirk, " Believe me, Fox Films will not pay you at this time, Murdoch and Redstone have a tacit agreement on some things, even with Eisner. I heard that you have been in a lot of trouble recently?"

"Yes, it's always like this. Every time there is a war, there will be vultures in the sky waiting to peck you."

Disney’s civil war has been fought until now, and many external forces are attacking all parties involved, such as poaching the main anchor, initiating a lawsuit, creating a negative profit, or simply waiting for an opportunity to acquire. Redstone’s Viacom has increased its holdings of Littman The shares of the media, Palm’s IBM department is about to move, 3DFX is also fighting a difficult business war with its main rival, and Fox Films also wants to take the opportunity to settle the lawsuit. Of course, it is dreaming of taking advantage of the fire.

"Damn Eisner!" Katzenberg swore.

"So we have to drive him away." Song Ya nodded.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you and Linton here." Katzenberg was not allowed to enter Disney's door, and now he was very passive, and could only hope that the black pharaoh would keep his verbal promise.

"If you don't withdraw, it is the greatest support for us."

Of course, Song Ya can't let him retreat, otherwise there is no reason to overturn the motion to acquire Pixar animation promoted by Eisner, Robert Iger and others.

"I feel like our chances are slim."

"Don't worry, you and I know Eisner very well. He just gave up his position to Jobs just talking about it. He couldn't be willing to give up power, and Jobs wouldn't be unaware of this."

"Compared to Jobs, Eisner is more afraid of me going back."

"Yes, so you also have to help Linton and I win over the old subordinates at Disney."

"There are no old subordinates..." Katzenberg smiled wryly, "I have been away for ten years."

"One counts as one. Linton has worked very hard there."

"I know."

"Everyone is fighting for their last breath."

"Yes."

Song Ya's situation is much better, but he keeps encouraging and agitating the long-established big brother Katzenberg.

At this moment, loud cheers came from the villa, Daddario looked back and saw the supermodel Lima jogging over, "AP Lu S!" She shouted: "MJ's got the result! "

This world-famous lawsuit has finally come to an end. Many TV stations have carried out live broadcasts and intimately listed the 14 crimes on the screen. Outside the court, MJ supporters are also cheering.

When Song Ya rushed to the TV, the first of the fourteen counts: Conspiracy and fraud had already been marked innocent.

A white aunt at the scene also released a white pigeon at the same time, and she prepared fourteen.

Those who cheered were Song Ya's relatives and African-American friends. Aunt Susie, Tony and others waited nervously in front of the TV. White people surrounded the outer circle, and many of them were on the sidelines.

"NO GUILTY!" Tony and his friends yelled, dancing with their big buttocks.

Also acquitted on second key count, followed by third, fourth...

The whole process went quickly, with all fourteen counts sentenced in a matter of minutes.

All innocent.

White doves flew, MJ fans hugged each other and cried.

The black people began to revel, with the court's innocence, the white people were also happy for MJ, and the party was full of joy.

"NOTHING!" Daddario was also affected by the atmosphere, and shouted out the classic line of Kingdom of Heaven.

Song Ya was overwhelmed by people who came to hug and celebrate, and after dealing with everything with a smile, she turned and left silently.

"Everything..."

When MJ left the court just now, his pale face and sickly body made people feel a little sore, and he murmured silently by himself.
