Chapter 145: Blindfolded

Song Ya knew that the strike was a ruthless move, and he also knew that William Morris was really fighting this time, and this matter hurt them or themselves, showing their influence, but at the same time, they also offended the big capital of the entertainment industry.

No, it's not all big capital, because the cast and crew who responded are mostly African-American, and the companies and projects they work for are generally smaller, making it difficult to survive and naturally less resilient to risks.

But who is Quincy Jones yelling at home? What decisions did Motula, Murdoch, Underwood, Jesse Helms, and many more make in the office? Xiao Lizi and his agent quarreled in the hotel room because of what?

It's like shooting into a thick fog, Song Ya didn't expect it, and there was no way to know the current state of the enemies.

Maybe he released an empty gun, maybe he hit the enemy, and it had a partial impact on some things and some people, but was the place where the hit was critical? What is the influence?

No one can have God's perspective, take 10,000 steps back, even if you see everything clearly, so what?

Human nature is extremely complex, and the possible reactions of friends and foes are ever-changing.

In other words, even if the same person is facing the same thing, they may make diametrically opposite decisions because of the different moods, circumstances, etc. at that time.

For example, when I borrowed money from a friend, my friend agreed to it in a good mood yesterday, but when I lost money in my friend's stock today, I was mercilessly rejected by the other party.

From another perspective, even if we understand someone's reactions and decisions, it is difficult to know his mental activities and real inner world at that time.

There are two people who are betting on their lives while playing a game of Russian roulette, and one of them suddenly gives up, do you think he is greedy for life and afraid of death? In fact, it was just because he suddenly had an idea in his mind that once he lost, the family dog would have no one to take care of......

Different times, different backgrounds, people and people, and even the same person's points of care, are different.

Song Ya didn't know that Underwood had been talking nicely until his role in the Barnes case was circulated by the creditor bank executive, but in fact, he was not willing to use the power of the House majority whip to rudely threaten Howard Stringer, the former president of CBS and the current president of Sony North Mine, for the sake of his own life.

Don't foul the law, the leak of that incident was not instructed by him.

He didn't know that because the butterfly wings of the strike made the media mogul Murdoch pay attention to the Chinn case in his busy schedule, and in the context of Fox Film's bankruptcy pressure, Murdoch tried to persuade FoxNews president Roger Ayres to be forcefully rejected, so he had to order the obedient Fox Film executives to find something for themselves.

And then when Fox Film executives tried to settle the strike that was hit by the FoxNews pond fish, they suddenly woke up to the fact that there was a ready-made billionaire here. A reckless man who dared to join a chemical factory at the age of seventeen! So the solution they came up with was to vote for APLUS and kill two birds with one stone......

Song Ya didn't know that Jesse Helms, the ultra-conservative boss who had never been stinky and hard, and who maintained a profound discriminatory view of old white men, would greet the special prosecutor in the Barnes case to ease the conflict, because the reason why ultra-conservatives are ultra-conservatives, and their traditional values of absolute loyalty to superiors and friends are an important virtue, so after learning that the revelations prepared by Gordon would have a fatal impact on Danburton's political future, Jesse Helms immediately reweighed the pros and cons of the whole thing.

And who knows to outsiders that the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who has just pulled out the United Nations Secretary-General Ghalry, who opposes any social change at home, votes against almost all parliamentary votes, and even openly sings discriminatory songs against black female politicians in the elevator, would choose to compromise with a black singer in order to protect the 'little' U.S. Rep. Danburton?

"Damn it!"

On the day of the strike, the football stunner crew organized a friendly match with nothing to do, because everyone had been together for almost a month, and Song Ya finally participated in it this time.

He does know how to play football, but he is barely enough to put on a showmanship for filming, and the level of several male supporting actors in the crew who are from the real college team is far from the level, and the ball was stealed by an opposing player Lisuo after a few steps.

So he had to curse while desperately chasing back, and after stretching his feet twice to no avail, he simply grabbed the opponent's shoulders with both hands and pressed hard to the diagonal back.

"Hey! It's a foul! The opponent lost his balance and fell to the ground, sitting with his hands raised and complaining to the referee.

Whatever, the ball is back at his feet anyway.

There are footsteps! Another opposing player is approaching!

Twisting his buttocks, he easily knocked Mira away with his crotch, and his long legs returned to his long legs, the slender body of the supermodel was still not enough to see, and the strength was too weak.

“APLUS! This! "A teammate shouted for the ball.

Inaudible! Unseen! Rampage, striding with the ball, he went straight to the opponent's goal, estimated that the distance was enough, and volleyed with his legs.

'Bang! ’

This time, the ball finally got on target, and the ball made a powerful curve, flying high and far over the crossbar, and unlike the previous shots, the ending was the same......

The opponent's goalkeeper Josh Duhamel has a very good level of rugby, but he has never touched football before entering the group, so he temporarily learned a few fancy goalkeeping technical movements for filming, the ball has landed, he stood in front of the goal without any reaction, and his body did not move.

"Oh! NO!”

It's a pity, Song Ya held his head in both hands, knelt on his knees on the spot, and gave the turf a punch in annoyance, "M-FXXK!" ”

The referee of the temporary cameo finally blew the whistle, "APLUS foul!" "Take a free-kick.

Exchanging the ball, Song Ya didn't bother to go back to participate in the defense, so he stood in the front court with his hands on his waist and watched the game.

"It's all up to Meng, right?"

Mira, who plays in the midfield like in the play, walks over with a weird yin and yang.

"Hey......

Song Ya grinned, and reached out to help the 'enemy' pat off the dirt behind the pants, "Look at you, kick a ball and get all the dust." ”

"You just hit it!" Mira raised her voice.

"Yes...... Is it? I didn't pay attention to ......."

The two looked at the black and white leather balls flying in front of the crowded goal, and talked and laughed until the referee blew the halftime whistle.

"The strike worked very well."

As Mira walked off the court, Ms. Sloan handed the towels to the two of them.

“Good!” Song Ya wiped a towel on his face, and he didn't sweat much after half the time.

But Sloane didn't smile, she tilted her head.

"I'll go over for a moment." After saying hello to Mira, Songya walked with Sloan to a place where it was convenient to talk.

"Ovitz was officially dismissed by Disney Emperor Eisner, and there was no mercy left, and Ovitz also made a big fuss about the board, and I heard that it was difficult for Eisner to step down at that time."

Sloan reported the latest news, "Childhood friends turned against each other, and both sides lost. ”

"No wonder Ovitz guy has no sound or image on this strike, but ...... It's none of my business, is it? ”

Song Ya said: "Anyway, William Morris, Donovan, and Hayden's recent performances can satisfy me, as long as there are no problems with the Met record project negotiated with Disney, and the A+ record spin-off will go smoothly at the beginning of next year, Ovitz will not be of much use to me." ”

"Ovitz doesn't think so, after leaving Disney, he will work with you deeply and even have a chance to snatch your brokerage contract from William Morris...... We've been giving him this delusion, haven't we? ”

Sloan handed over his phone, "He just called in person, and I blocked it with the excuse that you were playing a football game. ”

"If I'm giving him the illusion, it can only be because he still has value to me."

Song Ya dialed back, "Hey! Mr. Ovitz, are you looking for me? ”

"Now that I'm away from Disney, I finally have a lot of time to work on our collaboration."

Ovitz was still in the same tone, and he couldn't tell that he had just suffered a major setback.

"But I ...... right now"

Song Ya shirked, "Maybe you haven't been paying attention to me lately, Mr. Ovitz, I'm in trouble right now." ”

"No, I've been following you APLUS, for me your messy troubles are just a minor problem, I can help you, and soon, I will set up a new artist agency." Ovitz said.

"Talent agency?" Song Ya pretended to be stupid.

"Of course, I will kill back, and there will be no one in this world who knows this industry better than me."

"But I've heard that Hollywood and CAA, William Morris, they ......"

"They used to look at my face...... Or a defeated man. ”

"I have no doubt about that, but I need to settle the Barn case first, a lot of litigation, and ...... Other threats, do you have any good ideas? ”

"I understand that William Morris's crisis PR strategy for you is like a striker who shoots indiscriminately and wastes chances, with a huge momentum but can't grasp the key." Ovitz said three words without leaving the corner.

"Uh...... I think as long as you work hard, you will pay off. ”

"That's a good word...... So, it's not clear on the phone, let's talk in person? Just tomorrow? ”

"Uh...... Yes, you know where I am. ”

"Okay, it's decided."

"It's settled." Song Ya returned the phone to Sloane.

"The Broker's Mouth...... Ovitz is now just a former bigwig who has been swept away by Disney and faces a ban by much of Hollywood and the brokerage industry. ”

"I don't think we missed the crux of crisis PR either, and he could have done a better job than me and William Morris," Sloan reminded. ”

They didn't know that if it weren't for the fierce resistance in the early days of the Barnes case, the gossip of the former creditor bank executive of Barnes Co., Ltd. when he was playing golf would not have been remembered by his friends and used as a talking point to discuss hot news with another friend, slowly leaking out the role played by the party whip Underwood at that time, and finally spreading to everyone on Capitol Hill recently, causing Underwood to be in an embarrassing situation and having to defend the financier with more drastic action.

Without this strike, media tycoon Murdoch would not have set his sights on such a 'small matter' as the Barn case, and his recent subsidiary has a bigger wound in addition to Fox Films' bankruptcy and the British Sky TV network, which has suffered huge losses year after year.

If he hadn't always exercised restraint against Gordon, there would have been no Gordon to dig up Damberton's black material by using his 'specialty' against ultra-conservative whites, and the subsequent chain reaction.

If you don't make your debut, you just have two spare money and can't wait to invest in Xiao Lizi's film project, and after losing all your money, she still doesn't change her original intention, and she still tries to find Xiao Lizi to play the role in projects such as Dancing My Life and Cat and Mouse Game......

Also, why did the Barn case resurge? Isn't it true that Gantt, a candidate of the Donkey Party who had never heard of before, heard rumors that the other party was accepting donations from black singers when he was competing with Jesse Holmes for the Senate of North Carolina, and broke the news indiscriminately, which finally led to the result that Jesse Helms had to continue to hunt down the Barnes case in order to clear up?

"Yes, the current Ovitz is the same as before."

Song Ya and Sloan are very practical and snobbish at times, and both of them are very determined to go to the dark when they recognize a path, and Ovitz's rhetoric does not help much.

"Even if it's Meng, there's always a shot that can hit the goal."

Song Ya cheered herself up.
