Chapter 529: Two Days

Chicago, Highland Park.

Song Ya lazily turned over, hugged empty, and gradually regained consciousness.

"Linda..."

He yawned and dialed the extension, then got up and took a shower. When he came out of the bathroom, Linda had already arrived. He looked calm, and he was relieved, "How is the situation?"

"Goodman just called, and he said someone told him to tell you not to worry about that female reporter from the Tribune."

Linda reported, "The vice president of Dow rushed to Massachusetts and was going to sit down and talk with Omniglow Chemicals. Others... nothing else. Except for some local media, the mainstream media has not mentioned the paper for the time being."

Dow is already on the move, "What's everyone talking about? MJ?"

Turn on the TV, and the advertisement of Apple PowerMac is playing inside. The square white chassis and the rainbow Apple Logo are placed on the lower front.

"Okay." He nodded in satisfaction.

I heard that this PC sold 150,000 units shortly after its launch, and the Motorola CPU in it has a very strong performance.

"It's not the same, MJ is always talked about, it doesn't stop."

Linda said: "According to the news, in order to investigate the MJ case, the law enforcement agencies in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara counties have spent millions of taxpayers in the two places, and the cost of maintaining the operation of the two grand juries is more than two hundred. Wan, the media from the two places are arguing."

Song Ya tilted her head and thought for a while, "Is that good news for MJ? The victim has already chosen civil reconciliation. If the criminal investigation continues for a long time, California politicians will change their attitude and force law enforcement agencies to give results as soon as possible." ?"

"It's good news, yes."

Linda also agrees, "MJ's powerful legal team is very aggressive. They start with all possible faults in the case-handling procedures, evidence collection methods, and witness credibility of the two places' prosecutors, forcing the law enforcement agencies of the two places to stop. Don't want to do everything possible to make every link impeccable. Otherwise, it is easy to be caught by the legal team, causing the evidence to be invalidated or refused to submit to the grand jury. Their actions have worked well, and they have frustrated the opponent every time , will cause a major blow to the public image of the law enforcement agencies and prosecutors of the two places."

"Professional law enforcement departments have spent so much, how much did MJ spend on the legal team?"

I have also filed a lawsuit myself. Song Ya knows that to some extent, the two sides compete for financial resources in a reasonable and legal way. The law enforcement department has to go to work anyway without your lawsuit. Whether it is a police officer or a prosecutor at all levels, the salary It's much meager than MJ's group of famous lawyers, and it has burned several million taxpayers. MJ can't fight without spending tens of millions of dollars.

"Who knows, MJ should be living like a year lately. His perfect handling of the criminal case can't stand up to the rumors flying all over the sky."

"Um."

He remembered that the vice president of Dow mentioned that he would use the MJ case as a cover-up for the fluorescent agent. It seems that this is not a matter of effort at all...

The eyes of the public have long been unable to take their eyes off. One after another, the enthusiasm has remained so high after half a year. I heard that the performance of various tabloid newspapers in California has soared because of this, and the whole industry is carnival.

"Any other news?" he asked Linda.

"Spielberg Schindler's List won seven Oscars and Jurassic Park three," Linda replied.

"Whoa, Hollywood is letting him get what he wants..."

Uh, I remembered that I disagreed with Spielberg just now on the progress of the DTC listing. I offended him a little, but it shouldn't matter, right? Spielberg should not be able to tolerate even this small disagreement. After all, everyone's starting point is for the good of the company and to make a lot of money together.

"And 2PAC was reported by a woman for sexual assault and abuse at the end of last year. The criminal lawsuit is about to start. At the same time, he and Quincy Jones' daughter Rashida quarreled in the media. Rashida published a special an open letter condemning him,

Seems like it started when 2PAC made nasty comments about her white mother. "

"It's all a mess."

Song Ya didn't care about this kind of news, and walked out of the bedroom with Linda, and found that there were still many young men and women stranded in their villa, most of them were crew members. They had just spent a crazy night and were spreading out at the party hungry. Around the buffet table of the service company, they chatted and filled their stomachs with food.

"younger brother……"

Cousin Connie and her little boyfriend were also there, "Did Amy stay here yesterday?" She ran over and asked.

"Yes, she's drunk...huh?" Song Ya stared at her suspiciously, "Why do you care about this?"

"I thought your old relationship was revived." Connie pouted out the door gossipingly, "Look, she's lonely."

Looking over, Amy was sitting alone on the lawn, staring down at the dinner plate in her hand in a daze.

"Fxxk! So you are the insider that Mimi said? Connie!"

Song Ya will not be distracted by her cousin who has no city, "I never thought that my family would betray me for a little benefit!"

"I didn't take advantage of it. I like her very much. You two are very right." Connie ran away quickly.

"Hey! Stop being a snitch!"

Song Ya smiled and shouted at her back. He also knew that Aunt Susie, Connie, and little Emily liked Mariah Carey very much, and would receive various gifts from her from time to time.

I looked at Amy's lonely back again, and felt a little distressed. There are so many people talking now, it is not convenient to go to find her for the time being, so let's chat with her by text message.

The next day, the work continued. In fact, all the scenes have been filmed. Now I have to gradually make up some shots that old Larry is not satisfied with. The workload is not heavy.

Soon, two or three days later, the whole crew returned to Los Angeles one after another, and continued to shoot indoor scenes at Universal Studios.

"Let's cut out the interaction scenes between the second male lead and his family, especially the younger sister."

Dow basically managed to keep the media silent, so the time passed slowly until April, and the film was about to be closed, and the old Larry began to prepare for the editing work. The family background of the hero in the original movie was changed to the male second Head, so the interaction with the younger sister has also been moved.

But the male lead has too many straight-line plots, which would be overwhelming. After thinking about it, Larry decided to cut it out, "Now the MJ case is so heated." He also has another consideration. The interaction with the underage sister is indeed a bit garish.

"Can."

Song Ya nodded in agreement. The relationship between the characters in the original movie did not promote the plot. He just copied it into the script because of his superstitious belief in Tianqi.

The final editing rights of the film are a bit complicated. A+ Film Studio, Amblin Entertainment, and Universal Pictures are three parties. According to the amount of investment, A+ Film Studio should naturally be the main one, and the contract is also stipulated in this way.

But only Universal Pictures can determine the final length of the film, so the scissors that actually work in the end are always in their hands. Fang said it can be counted.

In other words, they have a veto right, they can't control the micro-manipulation of editing, and they don't have the right to add things, but they can wave scissors and click away any plots they don't like.

This is basically one of the iron rules of Hollywood. Song Ya, as a newcomer in the film industry, naturally cannot challenge it, and he will go back to school in mid-April, so he has no way to participate in the whole process. For the time being, he plans to wait until the later version and then follow the routine of the original movie. Just to raise my opinion, since he chose to believe in the old Larry, he wouldn't have to force the editing method to be exactly the same as the original version.

Anyway, the script was written according to the rhythm of the original movie, and it was filmed in the same way in the past three months, so there shouldn't be too much deviation.

As long as there are no major conflicts between the three parties, they can basically be negotiated. Spielberg has just been crowned king at the Oscars, and Amblin Entertainment has a great say. As long as there are no conflicts with them, the publisher Universal will not mess around, this is just a youth idol musical, and there are no sensitive social and political issues at all.

In addition, I still have a lot of trouble.

"APLUS."

The vice president of Dow had been negotiating with Omniglow Chemicals for a long time, but the result seemed to be unsatisfactory. He was in a bad mood, "That female reporter shut up, but the media, especially the professional financial media, still like to talk about your sentence. 'Pigs on the wind'. As soon as that sentence is mentioned, they will talk about our acquisition case, and when they talk about the acquisition case, they will think of light sticks, and when they think of light sticks, their eyes will move to that paper ..."

"I'm very dissatisfied with your mobility APLUS, you must divert their attention away from that damn pig as soon as possible!"

The vice president cursed in a gaffe, "Our talks with Omniglow Chemicals and their ally Takeda Chemicals have collapsed, and we will soon face the most severe public relations situation, don't blame me for not reminding you Boy, if you still have nothing If you don't do it, I will personally help you, and I will give you the last two days!"

"Help me what?"

"You are very smart, you should know that we have investigated you very carefully, we know that you do have a lot of secrets that will interest the media, don't you?" He hung up the phone.

"Hey! What's the secret? What do you know?" Song Ya shouted into the beeping microphone: "We're in the same group! Fxxk!"

I don't know what the other party has, but it's nothing more than the shitty things about the acquisition process of Bahn Company? This kind of old-school capitalist who turned his face and refused to recognize anyone would do what he said, so Song Ya hurriedly found his subordinates to discuss it together.

"What big news can we make for you recently?"

Eli, the crisis publicist, scratched his head, "Let's expose another cheating scene?"

"That hurt Mimi too much, and it didn't do any good to my box office appeal." Song Ya shook her head.

"Then is there any way to divert all the media's attention away from your identity as a young investment genius and the youngest African-American billionaire within two days?"

Hayden complained, "How about finding you an illegitimate child?"

"Your joke is very inappropriate Hayden..." Song Ya glared at her manager.

Didi... Didi...

Mariah Carey: 'I'm going back to China, you didn't go back to Chicago, did you? '

'Yes, I'm still in Los Angeles. Didn't you say you will come back on the fifth? '

Mariah Carey: 'I missed you so much that Newman cut back on his announcement schedule. I will arrive tomorrow. '

'Okay, I'll pick you up at the airport. '

Put away the phone, "What should I do? Dow only gave me two days, and I have to pick up Mimi at the airport tomorrow." He asked his subordinates.

"Is Miss Kelly coming tomorrow?" Eli sat up straight, his eyes lit up.
