Chapter 937: Mission Impossible
The indulgent Hollywood life came to an end, and Song Ya returned to Chicago to focus on her studies and take dance and kung fu classes.
Amy didn't go anywhere, and didn't invite friends to hold parties. She just stayed at home and learned to cook until the man came back from school, living a world of two.
After a few days of calm, Earned It reached the top of the B list. Song Ya guessed that there would be no urgent matters in the near future, so she simply gave her subordinates a big vacation. Old Mike went back to the south to visit his family, and the Hayden family went to the Bahamas for a ferry. On holiday, Ms. Sloan went skiing in Europe. Except for Mavota, who made her home in Chicago, everyone who worked hard with the workaholic boss for a long time took the opportunity to relax.
Unknowingly, nearly a month has passed, and Song Ya flew over New York twice in the middle, to accompany his ex-wife during the prenatal checkup, and to make a perfunctory release of the record, and occasionally went to the governor's wife's law firm to chat about work.
"It's annoying, I'm going to be busy again..."
One evening at the end of May, Amy pouted and stood in front of the full-length mirror, allowing her assistant and another co-manager to help put on evening clothes, "Is there going to be Al's wedding in a few days?"
"Yes."
Song Ya carefully packed her just-finished graduation thesis "On the Form and Evolution of Eunuchs in Oracle Bone Inscriptions" into her schoolbag, and took a peek at her. At that time, Mira would come back from South America to attend Al's wedding. She had promised Al Yes, Fergie will definitely be there too, she and Al have worked together many times...
This level is not easy! Amy... she's pretty good, she doesn't work, doesn't quarrel, doesn't waste money, and her cooking skills are getting better and better.
"Miss Adams, you are getting fat." Her new co-manager is a female relative of Hayden's wife.
"Really?" Amy touched the belt that was being tightened by the assistant, and glanced at the man sweetly, "I didn't even notice, sometimes I just spend the whole day in my pajamas."
"The modern chapter of Romeo and Juliet is scheduled for November 1st? In the second half of the year, at least you have to take on a play?" Song Ya asked.
"Well, Hayden will contact me for an audition when I get back from vacation," she replied.
"Those guys are herding sheep..."
Song Ya tidied up all the things she was going to take to school tomorrow, and began to dress up. Tonight, she will attend the 80 million big production disc starring Liangtang, produced by his CW film industry and distributed by Paramount. Spy's grand premiere in Chicago theaters.
This was part of the conditions proposed by Kingsley, the agent of Jing Tang, through Charis's pregnancy. Of course, Song Ya would go even if he was not threatened, because his goal was not Jing Tang.
"APLUS! Amy! Are you going to get engaged?"
"Come closer!"
Since the scumbag was established,
The mentality of the gossip reporters has also become very buddhist. As long as they have enough money, it is not big news to be photographed hooking up with anyone. Song Ya never denies it now, but she will never admit that she has a formal relationship with a certain woman. Relationship or public announcement.
On the contrary, Amy, going out with her will definitely damage her popularity, but she has persuaded her repeatedly and clearly stated all her plans, but she is still determined to fly to the flame.
"Congratulations, Tom, and Mrs. Cruise."
The two handled the red carpet skillfully. Song Ya congratulated the host of the ceremony, Liang Tang, and her Australian wife. Mission: Impossible had a very good response in the previous screenings and the Los Angeles premiere. It is a very qualified action blockbuster. , Liang Tang has been silent for more than a year after the night interview with the vampire.
"Thank you for coming to APLUS, and Amy..."
As a top actor in Hollywood, Liang Tang could not find fault with his dealings with others. The four hugged each other affectionately, and then put their arms around each other and posed a few poses in front of the camera. Song Ya took Amy into the theater.
"Do you know the woman on the left of Liangtang? It's Pai Kingsley, the main manager of him and his wife. She is currently very powerful in CAA. Pai Kingsley also runs a very powerful private relations company PMK. "
While looking for the target person, he taught Amy Hollywood knowledge, "The woman on his right is a partner of CW Films, and also a well-known Hollywood agent and producer Paula Wagner. CW is spelled with the initials of their surnames." .”
"Does Pai Kingsley have a bad relationship with this... Paula Wagner? I think they have almost no communication." Amy asked.
"You're very observant Amy."
Song Ya praised: "That's true. Their interests are inconsistent. Pa Kingsley needs Liangtang to maintain his status as a top movie star, so he is very reluctant to see Liangtang and Paramount fall out, while Paula Wagner hopes to be with Paramount. Soup makes the CW bigger and doesn't get hanged on a tree at Paramount."
"Maybe they both love good soup." Amy said with a strange angle.
"Maybe." Song Ya laughed, and it was true after thinking about it, these two middle-aged white women have been around the soup for many years.
Excluding the seniors who acted and directed, Liang Tang is the ceiling of Hollywood actors in recent years. In 1992, he signed a long-term cooperation agreement with Paramount through his popularity. Since 1993, CW The film industry does nothing every year, and can still get more than 10 million so-called project pre-research funds from Paramount. This is basically an alliance signed by Paramount, which was not doing well at the time, for the purpose of deep binding.
That is to say, relying on this contract, Liang Tang was able to climb to the top of the throne of the number one Hollywood actor, making Brad Pitt, another young boy who is currently very strong, greedy to death.
But after this guy helped Ramon make a blockbuster sugar-coated trap in 1993, he went to work with David Geffen in 1994 to make Interview with the Vampire, which did well at the box office, but his breakthrough role made him Trapped in same-sex rumors, his popularity has been hit hard instead, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Later, because of the unsatisfactory awards season, he turned against David Geffen, and the Oscar jury who had not been nominated, tossed and tossed, and almost made himself angry. In 1995, he did nothing in the name of rest. Dry.
It is equivalent to CW Films, which has given Liang Tang nearly 40 million in three years, and produced a film of sugar-coated trap. This year, CW Films released the first movie Mission: Impossible, but at the same time, he still wants to have both sides, and Columbia Pictures has collaborated with another Mr. Sweetheart, which will start painting at the end of the year.
After Viacom, a media tycoon Redstone, took over Paramount in 1994, Redstone himself disliked Liang Tang’s half-heartedness, and expressed his dissatisfaction implicitly twice, once after the release of Interview with the Vampire, and once Not long ago, Mr. Sweetheart confirmed the schedule.
"More than 10 million a year, Lei Shidong probably doesn't want to continue to pay, but there is no way, the contract is written in black and white, and the Mission: Impossible of Liangtang should help Ramon make a lot of money. So...maybe again Hold your nose for a while."
Like the last time he faced Simon & Schuster, it was inconvenient for Redstone to dictate too much about the specific affairs of his company, and he had no motivation to work hard for his own affairs.
Song Ya said to Amy: "Liangtang does not have allies in Paramount Pictures, such as Shirley Lansing, the president who decided to sign this contract at that time, and her husband, the director of The Exorcist and Oscar winner William Friedkin, let's go over and say hello."
Shirley Lansing is his target today. She is the first and only female CEO of the Seven Biggest Hollywood. Pretty soup is always liked by women, but Song Ya is not talking about him, "Welcome back..."
Shirley Lansing and William Friedkin were both natives of Chicago.
After a few pleasantries, "Did Stanley Jaffe show up?"
Stanley Jaffe is the president of Paramount Media, as well as Shirley Lansing's business partner and friend, hard copy, the media that once blackmailed himself and MJ has long used the resources of the TV station under Paramount Media.
In view of the fact that Evan Chandler, who almost ruined MJ, served as Shirley Lansing's personal dentist for a long time, if these smears are really a collective conspiracy behind the scenes, then Shirley Lansing and Stanley Jaffe It should be pretty close to the center of the web.
Song Ya has been coordinating and exploring the truth through various contacts, but they are all like mud cows, and the hard copy is still alive and well. Even if the conspiracy theory is not established, the hard copy must pay the price. It has never been my style to bear silently like MJ.
Besides, not long ago, it was messed up by Simon & Schuster Publishing House, which belongs to Viacom as well as Paramount, and I spent five million, five million for the sake of peace.
"No."
Shirley Lansing was very beautiful when she was young, and she still has her charm now that she is over fifty years old. "What do you want from him?"
"It's still a hard copy... I think I have already expressed my attitude through William Morris. They must at least give me an explanation. I think Paramount Media should not continue to support that kind of unscrupulous media."
It's rare to take the opportunity to meet each other. Everyone's time is precious, so Song Ya straight to the point and said it directly.
"I think you'll have to ask Stanley." Shirley Lansing pushed back.
"Can you make an appointment with him for me? I can come and visit." Song Ya said.
"I generally don't bother him with APLUS except for work, but I can give you his phone number."
"private phone?"
"Office."
"That's it..." Who can't get the office number of the president of Paramount Media, Song Ya frowned slightly, and wanted to keep procrastinating.
"Sorry, excuse me." Her famous director husband wanted to find an excuse to leave.
"Wait a minute, there's an old friend from Chicago coming up, I think you all know."
Song Ya wouldn't let them slip away so easily, "We really need to talk about this together today, it's been a long time, I think William Morris's Donovan has approached Paramount more than once."
Amy, who was obediently standing beside her, realized that the atmosphere of the conversation seemed not to be good, and secretly tugged on Song Ya's sleeve.
"Is it Donovan? It's okay, just come and find me later, we are in the theater today, and we won't go anywhere until the screening is over." Shirley Lansing also showed obvious displeasure, pulling her husband Just walk away.
"No, not him."
Song Ya looked behind him. Alicia had just walked into the theater hall with a tall and handsome middle-aged man like a movie star on his arm. The two also held a child in each hand, "Peter, Alicia, here!" He waved and shouted road.
"Hey! Long time no see, William, Shirley, welcome back."
Peter smiled and strode over to shake hands with the couple, "Ha, there are so many stars, the sky in Chicago today is full of stars because of your arrival."
"It's a great honor for you to come...Mr. Governor, Mrs. Flock." The couple looked at each other complicatedly.
"It's okay, it's a rare time to relax with your family. It just so happens that APLUS is also looking for you, right?"
Peter Flock handed the child to Alicia, and asked a few words: "Then let's find a quieter place to talk?"
"Yes, Mr. Governor."
