Chapter 659 In Front of the Camera
"APLUS is an extremely outstanding young man, but he still has impulsive investment by African Americans. It is a small problem to think about it. Don't give up on Gordon, you still have a chance."
Percy Sutton came here this time to find out Song Ya's investment intentions in the Inner City Broadcasting Company. The old man was in a good mood, and when he left, he comforted a frustrated Gordon, "I was also directly rejected by him the first time I came. "
"I hope so, but I'm different, I'm pressed for time."
As a top African-American news anchor, Gordon stays in Washington D.C. to record the evening news of BET almost every day. He knows in his heart that his boss, Johnson, is already suspecting that he wants to find another home. Fan Xin came to New York under the pretext of recording a live broadcast, but obviously, this kind of excuse cannot be used frequently.
And he couldn't afford the risk of losing his status as the ace anchor of BET instead of being fooled.
Saying goodbye to the old man, and returning to the gate of this manor mansion, there is already a BET broadcast team waiting there, and there are many other media reporters and broadcast trucks nearby, all preparing for the big wedding on the 27th. Prepare for the grand broadcast, but the inside of the manor cannot be filmed. The exclusive has been sold by the money-grabbing couple to the long-term cooperation GQ magazine.
"give it to me."
Gordon took the microphone with the BET logo, "Have you found the background yet?"
"Please stand here, facing..." The staff led him to the designated position, and touched up his makeup a little, "It's ok."
"Okay, 1, 2, 3..."
He was familiar with the rhythm of the photographer, "Audience friends, I am now in Bedford Hills, New York, outside the door of APLUS and Mariah Carey's love nest. The high-profile wedding of two African-American superstars has entered the countdown. I Just chatted with APLUS inside and he told me..."
He was recording a live broadcast, and a certain financial TV station on the other side was also recording a program, but the focus was different.
"Despite being frustrated and publicly ridiculed by the company's founder when investing in a technology company, it seems that 2019 will still be in the middle of the storm. The two companies he participated in this year, DTS and Netscape, have both started their IPO roadshows. According to the content of the prospectus, he can retain about 3% of the shares after the listing of the two companies. In DTS, he also owns a small amount of B shares with ten times the voting rights, and can enjoy about 5% of the voting rights... ..."
"Of course, the current market has mixed feelings about the listing prospects of the two companies. The SD camp in which DTS is located is facing great difficulties in monopolizing the new audio-visual media standards. Netscape's Netscape browser has a very high market share, but it is profitable. Competence has been widely questioned..."
"In addition to the technology industry, APLUS still retains a large amount of investment in the industry after selling the promising fluorescent stick factory to Dow. I just met Scott, the president of A+ Apparel, Scott, you Alright, say hello to the audience."
"Hello, audience friends, hello everyone."
With the growing business and the number of employees, Scout has the airs of a business leader, smiling cleanly, shaking hands with reporters, and nodding to the camera.
"Are you going to have a large-scale exhibition in Quanmi this year?" the reporter asked.
"Well, the number of directly-operated stores will not be very large, and our development direction will still be stores in comprehensive shopping malls, special counters, and some franchisees..." Scout replied.
"Can you tell me the quantity? Your long and short T-shirts sold very well last year."
"Yes, thanks to APLUS leading the fashion in the movies, there are more than 300 stores and counters in the whole meter..."
"Whoa, that's great. Or is it just T-shirts?"
"It's probably like this. There are long styles, short styles, and some original styles. Please allow me to keep them secret before the summer launch... I think specificity is a very good quality. Mr. APLUS is a very specific person. Both he and Miss Kelly want to bring consumers the best T-shirts, and we've been working hard to do that."
"Okay, thank you, and thank your company for bringing a lot of job opportunities to the United States."
"Thanks."
Scout shook hands with the other party, and walked into the gate of the manor mansion surrounded by the camera and entourage.
"Linton."
On the other side, a reporter from The Hollywood Reporter recognized Linton, the president of Hollywood Pictures, in the car at the door. He and the cameraman ran over and slapped the window impolitely.
"Stop."
Linton explained to the driver helplessly, and rolled down the window, "Hello..." He extended his hand to say hello, smiled, and called out the reporter's name.
"Hello, Linton, you and APLUS are working on a big project right?" the reporter asked.
"Yes, cat and mouse game, adapted from Mr. Abagnell's original novel 'Catch Me If You Can', this is Mr. Abagnell." Linton pointed to the people around him.
"Hey, Mr. Abagnell."
The reporter also knew this once-famous legendary liar, "Should I remind APLUS to be careful with you?"
"Ha ha……"
Abagnell smiled. He reacted very quickly and was very good at program effects. He blinked playfully, "Don't, because I brought a technology project."
"Hahaha!" The reporter laughed wildly.
Linton clenched his fists to his mouth and coughed, and the driver started the car again.
"Mr. Linton, the director of the cat and mouse game project has been appointed, right? I heard it is Ridley Scott?"
The reporter chased the slowly gliding car relentlessly.
"Yes, I have a hunch that our cooperation will be very pleasant." Linton nodded.
"But I heard that he hasn't directed a new project for several years. Like your company, his film studio has been experiencing setbacks in recent years." The reporter asked.
"We are very confident in this new project, Mr. Abagnell and APLUS agree with us." Linton replied.
"The investment is about..."
"Twenty million, or more."
"When will the filming start? Has the schedule been set? The lead actor is..."
"I can't answer these questions yet, but I can tell you that the project is progressing very smoothly and the budget management is also very healthy." Linton answered other questions from reporters one by one.
"Tell me about your movie 'Roommate', which was released earlier this month, co-invested by Inteope Films, Polygram Films and Nomura Babcock Brown! The production cost was 22 million, and the box office was 12 million. Department." The reporter asked again.
Linton's face darkened, he rolled up the window, and urged the driver to speed up.
As more and more guests came to Bedford Hills in advance, the reporters at the gate became busy, and there were many examples of interviewing target figures in related industries like this.
In Chicago, another interview will also take place.
Under the protection of the southern lawyer, Cassetti stood in front of the demonstrators at the Chicago Police Department headquarters. Today she put on makeup and took off her thick old-fashioned glasses and replaced them with invisible ones. She looks sad and beautiful The blond hair was blown to one side by the strong wind in Chicago, looking a little pitifully weak.
"Okay, that's fine."
The Southern lawyer discussed with the cameraman and was very satisfied. He asked Kasiti to continue reciting the lines from the manuscript, and directed the crowd behind Kasiti to stand, "You, stand aside..."
He pushed some strong local bikers in motorcycle jackets with various beards to the edge of the crowd, and pulled some more 'ordinary' looking citizens into the center of the frame.
"There are too few people," Kasiti said.
"It's okay, there will be people coming later." The southern lawyer looked at his watch, and soon, the local extremist white organization he had just contacted brought another group of people by bus.
"Fxxk, I don't want this kind of alcoholic and homeless." The southern lawyer smelled the alcohol on the first white man to get off, and covered his nose in disgust.
"You think I want to help Vic?"
The drunk opened his mouth, showing his missing teeth, "Look, Vic beat him."
"Shut up, Frank."
A large group of half-grown children got out of the car behind him, led by a beautiful young white woman, "We are here to make money." She asked the southern lawyer, "One hundred dollars per person for half a day, the money first?"
"Yes, we will march from here to the FBI Chicago office building later." Southern lawyer replied.
"We won't be arrested, will we?"
"We have already applied, and you can rest assured that you don't stray far from the parade route."
"OK." The white woman picked up the black child next to her, "Liam, let's go there."
"Huh?" The southern lawyer saw the black child's eyes light up, "You hold him and stand in the middle, behind Cassity."
"Do you still need little NGer to help the stormtroopers?"
The leader of the white speeding party was dissatisfied, and leaned into his ear and said, "Don't forget what our ultimate goal is!"
The southern lawyer subconsciously pressed the cuff that covered the tattoo, "What do you know, doesn't this prove that Vic and the others also have black supporters? Our main goal now is to get people, and the rest will be tolerated for the time being."
After a while, some heads of Vic and Sean and cardboard placards such as "We want a fair trial" were also delivered, and the southern lawyers began to distribute the things and ordered everyone to shout slogans.
The crowd grew in size, and after Cassidy made a tearful proclamation to the camera, they protested against the police building for a while before heading to the FBI's Chicago office.
"Sure enough, it's a group. The extreme supporters of the stormtroopers will cause us big trouble."
The director of the FBI branch went to the window and glanced at the demonstrators at the entrance of the building, "I heard that our office in the south was attacked by the Ku Klux Klan this morning."
"Did Sean recruit?" he asked Carl Letterman.
"It's all done. They worked for APLUS in the New York wiretapping case. APLUS knew that someone was wiretapping Mariah Carey, so they kept calm and asked the stormtroopers to wait and catch the Italian private man who went to change the tape and battery for the recording equipment on the spot. detective."
Carl Letterman replied.
"Okay, we can use this reason to transfer those four people to New York." The branch chief nodded, "Use this as a breakthrough and continue to interrogate."
