Chapter 744 ?

Underwood is not having a good time now. Although he has entered a powerful committee in the House of Representatives and the Donkey Party not long ago, he is undoubtedly on the rise in his career, but the telecommunications bill has made him physically and mentally exhausted. There are many congressmen who took the opportunity to ask for the price, so it may be easy for me to deal with this trouble.

In short, the same sentence remains, the top priority of a politician is campaigning, and now he has no intention of putting too much energy on his re-election campaign next year, let alone expanding new sponsors, so he must rely more on himself in terms of election funds.

So the content of the conversation between the two was still about the situation in Chicago's own federal congressional district, "I know you will also have a heavy burden next year. Patterson ... plus the husband of Michelle from the Hyde Park constituency, he was your teacher at the University of Chicago, right?"

Underwood said: "Of course, don't forget that I still have Russell Ha, who is also running for the Federal House of Representatives this year."

"It's definitely not enough to rely on the money from the two charitable foundations of Aunt Susie and Where Is Love."

The political alliance between the two has been difficult to separate after the Vic case, and Song Ya is not devious, "But I will soon be able to own an inner city broadcasting company, and my election donations to African-American politicians can be passed through this company Expenses, the Suttons are happy to help me with that, that's what they do."

Song Ya frowned, "You, I have already prepared, the donations will be transferred to your campaign office account and Clark's foundation in batches, as for the drunkard Russell..."

"He is still very popular with the workers in the new constituency." Underwood arranged for Russell a new constituency in Chicago with a large number of heavy industry workers. He will not be elected in the Bahn chemical constituency next year, and he is very supportive.

"But the workers at Bahn Chemical will pass on what he did."

With the real estate development around the Bahn Fluorescent Agent Factory, the new members elected by middle-class residents next year will most likely push for the closure of the factory. At that time, Russell will definitely be regarded by the workers as a traitor who ran away. Song Ya learned about it from Dow In some situations, Goodman also sent a young lawyer from his law firm to investigate on the spot, and he was very unfavorable to Russell, "You must insist? Mr. Underwood?"

"I insist that Russell is mine."

Underwood responded, "Dow's fluorescent stick business is mediocre. If local politicians shut down the Bahn fluorescent agent factory, they themselves will suffer heavy losses. Aren't you the spokesperson for his products?"

"I know, I will communicate with Dow, but don't count on my energy too much. You just said that Dow's light stick business is not good. They spent more than 100 million from me and Northern Trust. took over the factory,

And then invested a huge amount of money in Detroit to expand production... The vice president who led this matter is also old, and I heard that Dow's board of directors intends to let him retire in the near future..."

Song Ya heard that he was implying that he was looking for help from Dow, and there was nothing to hide in this regard. He told the truth that the fluorescent stick business on Dow's side was squeezed by the products of the book and went from bad to worse. The vice president who yells that he is an 'old-school capitalist' is about to be kicked out by a real capitalist...

"Hey! Anyway, do your best? I'll help Russell find a solution." Underwood sighed.

"Of course I will, you can rest assured."

This trip to New York and Washington was very successful. I was enthroned in the black celebrity circle in Manhattan, and then I walked around the White House with my wife and talked and laughed with the general. These two long-faced things made Mariah Carey proud Broken, "Shoe do do do do do do do yeah, Fantasy..." I kept humming the song from her new album on the plane back to Los Angeles.

"The title song?" Song Ya put her arms around her and asked, "What's the title of the song?"

"Well, it's called Fantasy, put it on the first track of the album, and I will also direct the MV myself." She showed off.

"Wow, let me see if you're bloated or bloated..." Song Ya reached into her waist to tickle her.

"I've been in Hollywood for a few months, haven't I been in vain?" She struggled.

"Oh, I thought you put all your energy into the party."

"The party is also to expand your network... What about you? Has your new album MV been filmed yet?"

"Uh, I took part of it, and I will take the rest when I go back to school and take time to take pictures..." Song Ya immediately felt guilty, and her hands began to play tricks to divert her attention.

"Hate it, don't move."

The two started again. Linda in the front row had no choice but to look at the female assistant and then put on the earplugs tacitly. Linda looked at the old Mike again. The old man was already snoring with a blindfold on.

"Where to [fo]?"

After getting off the plane, the extended Lincoln didn't drive to Malibu, Song Ya asked strangely.

"Did you forget? Tonight is the premiere of Future Water World," she said.

"But we don't have to go to the premiere..."

"I want to see it, but I didn't see it last time."

"All right."

Her female assistant had already contacted to reserve the venue, and the two of them rushed to the cinema and began to enjoy it.

Generally speaking, this is an ocean remake of the old Australian film "Mad Max" wasteland style. During the Cold War, the Western world was always worried about the nuclear destruction, and a lot of discussions were born about the human beings in the new environment after the nuclear apocalypse. How to continue to survive the movie, the Mad Max series made Mel Gibson popular all the way from Australia to Hollywood. This kind of theme is a gold mine for remakes with different tricks. It is indeed a safe move for big productions to choose it.

Now it's gone, and the Cold War is gone, and Global Touch has a new hot topic: global warming, saying that the glaciers at the two poles are melting, and the whole world is plunged into the ocean, and then according to this setting, outline the overall situation of people in this environment in the future ecology.

The protagonist and director, who is also the winner of the Oscar for Best Actor and Best Director, Kevin Costner played a mutant man with gills behind his ears in order to adapt to the new environment. Cowboys, change the soup but not the medicine.

With a production cost of 170 million yuan, Song Ya saw the endless ocean in the first ten minutes, as well as the dirty boats on the sea and the human city.

"The heroine is not very pretty." Mariah Carey whispered.

The heroine is Janet Ripplehorn. Song Ya knows that she is very sexy and attractive in modern clothes, but in order to abide by the survival logic of the wasteland, she turned into a sloppy woman who was tanned at sea, and her appearance was greatly enhanced. low.

"puff!"

The key to the plot, the mysterious map on the back of a little girl made Song Ya almost spit out the Coke in his mouth, and the crooked Chinese characters "latitude and longitude" were disassembled into ghost symbols. These days, the mysterious symbols in the eyes of Westerners are probably like this. How should I complain about myself?

besides……

The two watched it honestly and attentively, and it was okay. The plot of more than two hours was generally compact, allowing people to watch it.

The bones of a western hero movie, the skin of a wasteland style, a blockbuster movie within Hollywood standards, that's all.

Song Ya feels that letting Linton be responsible for the production of the film can definitely be done within 50 million. Even with Kevin Costner's super high double salary, it will not exceed 80 million, and Simberg just tossed the production cost to 170 million, that's 170 million, plus the cost of publicity and distribution is far more than that, it's really cunning for him to resign decently before the movie is released.

If you give Spielberg the 170 million, he can create a super Jurassic Park for Universal, but Kevin Costner...

"Emmm..." Mariah Carey looked at the end credits in a daze, "Will Kevin make this movie a success?"

success? With a production cost of 170 million plus publicity and distribution, how many box office sales do you have to make back? At least 400 million, right? Song Ya couldn't see the box office of 400 million in this magnificent global production...

"I feel that I will lose money, but my eyesight in watching movies may not be accurate." He replied realistically.

"Kevin is the guy who can bring Whitney Houston to the box office."

It turned out that this was what Lao Xin was thinking about, "I also said that I would have the opportunity to cooperate with him in the future, when I start a new project after the release of Tears in Star Dream."

"You can shoot this honestly first, don't make the crew wait anymore, what they burn on paid leave is ours, uh, your money..."
