Chapter 725? DreamWorks

Latest URL: Pastors belong to another system, and there are huge differences within Christianity itself. To put it simply, the Baptist Church implements a congregational system, and the local churches operate independently. The power to replace Ellison is in the hands of a council of the local diocesan federation. Descendants of important early donors, representatives of local believers, etc., are complicated.

"I will help, but it's not convenient to support publicly. At most, Aunt Susie will come forward."

Song Ya was a little slapped in the face, so she confirmed again, "William, do you really want to do this?"

"Of course, I think this is an opportunity, you know Alex, my parish is small..." William took the opportunity to chatter.

Even in the same church, there are huge differences in the hidden income among pastors. For example, Ellison, who has great influence, has operated reasonably for many years. His net worth looks mediocre, but his daily life is no worse than that of rich people in Chicago. Go, in the poorest parish in Chicago, there is even a "Summer Palace" dedicated to serving him, which is actually another way of saying a vacation villa.

Of course, as long as it is not the kind of cult whose main purpose is to make money, most priests are poor, and their income is completely incomparable with that of rich people and politicians with the same social influence, such as William.

"Okay, then Eli will help you."

Song Ya was instinctively not interested in this kind of key point, and had no intention of understanding it in depth, so she endured listening to William's complaints, "Do you have a plan?" and asked Eli instead.

"Not yet, but it's not like this kind of thing hasn't happened before, and it's time for a blood change."

Eli had communicated with Peter before coming here. It must be Peter’s intention to get rid of Allison. The pastor who controls the votes can blackmail politicians, and politicians naturally have countermeasures. It just depends on whether the cost of using it is worthwhile. After so many years, there is nothing new.

"Then you go and do it. If you need anything, you can come to me. No, discuss it with Goodman first. I will greet him."

Leaving the matter to his lawyer, Song Ya threw it away, and Eli and William immediately got together to plot a "rebellion". It is estimated that it is too early to start the implementation, and he will just pay for the show by then.

After a brief break in Chicago, he appeared in Malibu in Los Angeles the next night, not at his own home this time, but David Geffen's mansion there.

DreamWorks took off, the Big Three and Microsoft shareholder Paul Allen formally negotiated cooperation, Paul Allen generously injected 550 million to help DreamWorks establish a global distribution system,

There is an agreement to produce at least nine films per year. The requirements of these nine films are definitely not low, and it is absolutely impossible to fool them with bad films, but neither party has disclosed the details of the cooperation.

DreamWorks also obtained 300 million meters from CJ Entertainment, a member of the Lee family of Silla's wealthy family, Lee Mi-kyung, and sold her the film agency rights in Asia outside of the book.

"These three guys only spent more than 30 million dollars in start-up capital, and so far they haven't produced a single movie!"

Song Ya, who was envious and jealous, used the wine glass as a cover in the star-studded dinner, and quietly complained to his wife who was holding his arm.

"It's all for Spielberg's sake."

Mariah Carey's parties in Hollywood these past few months are not in vain, and the news is quite well-informed, "I heard that Li from the Li family... is the one who owns Samsung and paid more than his relatives, 500 million, but s Pierberg doesn't like him because he likes to talk about semiconductors when negotiating."

"Li Jianxi?"

Song Ya sneered, "Hollywood always likes to use Asian upstarts to set off their style. Who knows if this kind of joke is true or not. The Jews only want 300 million instead of 500 million? I don't believe it at all."

"Ah, watch your words, don't be overheard."

Mariah Carey elbowed his waist, "David, congratulations." She saw her manager Sandy Glenn lead David Geffen over from afar.

"Oh, you two are made for each other."

David Geffen was in a good mood. He was a little drunk. He opened his arms and hugged the two of them, "It's nice to see you."

"Congratulations, Mr. Geffen."

This guy is really lucky. After selling Geffen Records, his interests and influence have been squeezed out by MJ over the years. With the change of ownership of Universal, the influence of MCA Records under Universal has also been greatly weakened. In addition, the development of Geffen Films is not going well, and the defeat of Interview with the Vampire at the Oscars was publicly criticized by the most popular actor Liang Tang. People jointly created DreamWorks, which is judged by the outside world to be the most likely to squeeze into Hollywood's top distribution company, becoming one of the Big Three.

Song Yaxuan said nicely, "Your new company will bring Hollywood back to the Big Eight pattern?"

"I hope so, Paul expects so, we have no way out."

David Geffen laughed.

This guy likes to throw parties so much, but he protects his close contacts with the big benefactor very well. Before Dreamworks was reported to be invested, Song Ya had never seen Paul Allen at a party here, and even now I can't see, and anyone from Silla Lee's family...

"What about your movie project? How's it going?"

After finishing this big business, David Geffen finally has the time to care about other things, "How about handing over the distribution to us?"

"Ms. Song's Tears of Star Dreams has been negotiated with 20th Century Fox for release. APLUS has something to do with it, right?" Sandy Glenn helped beat the side drum.

"My game of cat and mouse has also been handed over to Buena Vista under Disney for distribution."

Song Ya shook her head apologetically, "Dancing out the sequel of my life is in Universal, you also have investment, have you forgotten? Mr. Geffen..."

He noticed that Sandy Glenn was winking at him, and he reacted halfway through, and his wife's agent took the opportunity to show his favor to him again, "There is only one 'How Do I Stop This', a small-budget movie, currently No publisher has been found yet."

"Oh yeah, I forgot there was an investment in that sequel too."

David Geffen slapped his forehead, "What happened to your unreleased movie? Did you just make it?"

"Uh, it has been sent to chain video rental companies and various TV stations for review, and there is nothing to follow..." Song Ya herself was embarrassed by a bad movie.

"Ha, I see."

David Geffen certainly understands what it means to not even want a movie in those places, but who told him to be in a good mood now, "No problem, let your people send the movie to the screening room of DreamWorks, we need the movie now." source reserve."

"OK, thank you Mr. Geffen." Song Ya clinked glasses with him.

"Come on, come say hello to Steven and Jeffrey with me."

David Geffen started to get started again, holding Song Ya's waist affectionately, and was about to take him elsewhere.

He had no choice but to ask his wife for help.

"Then Sandy and I will go over there..." Mariah Carey waved her hands with a smirk and left to go to her own social circle.

"Ha, my little Leonardo..."

Song Ya had no choice but to be half-pushed by him to meet the other two DreamWorks giants. On the way, he happened to meet Xiao Li. David Geffen reached out and pinched the handsome blond man's face, and twisted it adoringly before letting go , "I heard that you are not going well this year?"

"Yes, the box office of the two films in the first half of the year, Basketball Diary and Deadly Pleasure, were not very good."

Xiao Lizi could only smile and let him take advantage of him. His manager followed with a wry smile on his face, "Mr. Geffen, Mr. APLUS..."

In the first half of the year, Xiao Lizi memorized words. The box office of Basketball Diary was only 2.4 million. The shooting plot in the school was also greatly criticized. The production cost of Fatal Pleasure was 35 million, and the box office was 18 million. It gave the actress Sharon Stone a blow to the head.

"It's okay, there are still two movies to be released in the second half of the year, right?" Song Ya knew the other party's filming plan very well, and at the same time was glad that he did not continue to invest in him as predicted by the apocalypse, otherwise he would be the one who lost money.

"Yes, total eclipse mad love and Marvin's room." Xiao Lizi glanced at David Geffen's hand around Song Ya's waist, and his face became even paler.

"Hey, you should come and play my game of cat and mouse." Song Ya smiled and suppressed her desire to read a joke.

"Leonardo and Fox's Titanic project are filming..." His agent helped to evade.

"I know, it's okay, will we have a chance to cooperate again in the future?"

"Ok, no problem."

The two sides staggered and separated, "Twentieth Century Fox is not in a good situation. Murdoch's media empire has expanded too fast, and it has encountered difficulties in the UK and Australia where it started." David Geffen, who has just received investment from a wealthy IT company, gloated , "Steve will talk to you about DTS later, I heard that you suggest changing to the Chicago Stock Exchange for listing?"

"This suggestion is just a solution proposed by my staff."

Song Ya has nothing to hide. Katzenberg has already cleared his DTS shares, and David Geffen still has a little bit in his hand. It doesn't matter to him now, only Spielberg still has Hold a lot, more than yourself.

"APLUS, you came just in time."

Both Steve Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg are here, and they are not as excited as David Geffen. Spielberg himself already has Amblin Entertainment, a joint venture with Universal, and now he borrows DreamWorks Entering the field of distribution and competing head-on with the other seven is a blessing and a disaster for the world's most prestigious and best-selling director. Great pressure, not easy.

"The DTS thing..."

The only intersection between the two sides is DTS, and Spielberg hardly talks about other things every time he sees him, "I heard that September is the key deadline for who can win the DVD camp or the SD camp?"

"That's what Terry Beard said." Song Ya nodded, "Wall Street investors have agreed to Terry Beard's suggestion to postpone the listing date until October, and make a decision after the results come out in September."

"I know that, what do you think the outcome will be?" Spielberg asked.

"Uh, it's hard to say. The good news is that Warner will help us. The current industry generally believes that the alliance between Sony and Philips is a bit too strong. Maybe everyone will consider balancing them." Song Ya said matter-of-fact.

"What if the SD camp completely fails?" Spielberg asked.

"Then DTS may go bankrupt due to the failure of listing, at least the valuation will be greatly reduced."

Song Ya replied that he suggested to speed up the listing at the beginning, but since everyone agreed before, he would not take the initiative to take this responsibility.

"I understand, Catherine doesn't want to follow up on this matter, I will assign one of my investment managers to take full responsibility, and the one on your side..."

Spielberg couldn't remember Dilai's name for a while, and Song Ya told him.

"APLUS, your A+ film industry has new options in the field of film distribution and investment." Katzenberg and the other two reminded after chatting.

"Yes, I am looking forward to working with DreamWorks."
