In the blink of an eye, it was Friday of the week, and in the evening, Estéphen seemed to finally remember his artist and appeared in Highland Park.

"Wait a minute."

APLUS WAS ON THE PHONE IN THE STUDY, POINTING TO THE MICROPHONE AND SIGNALING TO HIM, "PLEASE, PLEASE, ...... FIRST"

Estéphine nodded, indicating that he knew, and paced to the honor corner at will, and his attention was first attracted by the whole row of glittering RIAA diamonds, platinum records, etc., and browsed them one by one in order, listening to APLUS's phone call with his ears on the way.

"The weather forecast says there will be no snow and no strong winds for the whole day in Springfield City on Sunday...... Yes, just that day. Jesse Jackson will be there too...... Quincy Jones? The Sutton family seems to have invited him, but I'm not sure ......"

It seems that APLUS is checking with the other end of the phone to confirm the participants of the meeting? Anyway, he kept saying a lot of black names in his mouth, and Estéphine quickly lost interest, and he didn't interest in the Grammy trophy in the glass case, picked up the Oscar statuette and flipped it in his hand, admiring the inscription on the pedestal for the Best Adapted Screenplay.

Well?

Then he saw all kinds of large and small photo frames on the table, and the first thing he paid attention to was naturally the photo of APLUS and Mariah Carey on the White House lawn with the current commander-in-chief, and then the ...... of APLUS and Mandela Hehe, the photos are very good, but not new, because APLUS has shown off in interviews, short documentaries and other occasions over the years.

His hand swept over a photo frame of APLUS and several white old men and women, maybe some kind of charity event photo? He picked up a photo of APLUS with Mariah Carey, Walt, David Cole, and Roberto Claywell, and some past events came to mind.

This group of people is the 'culprit' who snatched the famous song Hero composed by Walt from his wife Gloria to Mariah Carey, and his wife was so angry that she spilled a glass of red wine on Mariah Carey in public in the restaurant, as if it was this French restaurant?

He made it carefully, really, not wrong, it was one of the favorite restaurants of Sony Columbia Records' stars, and he remembered the unique tablecloth style, hehe, Mariah Carey was Motula's girlfriend at the time, right?

Now that David Cole is gone, Roberto Clevard has already fallen out with APLUS and Mariah Carey, the couple is also divorced, his wife Gloria is angry, and APLUS is in a mess with Motura, and everything is wrong......

Wait, no!

He sighed to himself and always felt as if he had overlooked something just now, so he put down the picture frame and looked back at the APLUS and the old man and the old lady......

"Ho!"

His pupils narrowed, and he almost exclaimed, he already knew the famous Mrs. Astor, and soon recognized the tycoons Warren Buffett and Murdoch, who often appear in the news, and then the former Secretary of State Dr. Kissin, who had been a leader in international politics......

The remaining three white old men, he didn't recognize, but they must have similar status to appear in this photo...... Remember the appearance, and plan to go back and check it out.

"Sorry, Mr. Estéphine, it's been too long, Shakira should be upstairs in the studio, playing with Leah Saronga."

UNKNOWINGLY, PLUS HAS FINISHED MAKING THE CALL, CAN THIS KID ALREADY ENTER THE HOUSE ON THAT OCCASION? "Oh, it's fine." He solemnly and gently lowered the frame, walked over and held the other's outstretched hand.

"You're coming to pick her up?" APLUS ASKED.

"Yes, it's almost Christmas, and some galas and commercial performances in South America can't be promoted." He replied.

"Well, it's really good, there are a lot fewer people who have sent me notices this year, or the price is too low." APLUS complained.

"Hehe, those are small amounts of money for you......"

As they were greeting, the study room was knocked, "Boss? Yeremov, president of A+ Film Studios, cautiously poked his head in.

"Something?"

"Fox Films......" Yeremov wanted to say but stopped.

"Oh, let's talk, I'll go find Shakira." Estéphine took his own initiative.

"Okay, there's a lot of people in the classical music industry at the party today, I think you all know each other."

Song Ya waited for Estéphine to leave, then sat down and looked at the documents handed over by Yeremov, "Xiao Lizi has already signed?" ”

"Yes, a movie appointment, his agent is very worried that we will ask him to participate in an R-rated film, because he can't see the script, he strictly stipulates a lot of things, the main thing is that Xiao Lizi does not participate in the exposure shots, and the role cannot damage his public image or something. It must also be a male lead. Yeremov replied.

"Hmm."

The male protagonist of the girl next door is a good boy with excellent character and learning, and it is impossible for him to breach the contract on his side, Song Ya bowed his head and looked at the specific contract carefully.

Xiao Lizi's value is very unstable now, and he just got rid of the bad luck of several projects in a row with the big sales of Romeo and Juliet's modern chapter, but the release has been postponed several times, and the "Marven's Room" will finally open next week.

made an appointment with the head of A+ Film Studio, but his agent didn't dare to ask for too much, and signed a contract with a salary of between 3.5 million and 5 million according to the box office.

"Yes."

Cheaper than expected, Song Ya signed the document and agreed.

"Tomorrow Bill McKennick, president of Fox Films, and Peter Chernin, president of Fox Group, will personally lead the team." Yeremov said again.

"I see."

Since Xiao Lizi has made a dedication to the Titanic and his personal future, it means that the negotiations with Fox have been completed, and the money will be invested by himself, and it is unlikely to be changed, "You are not optimistic?" He noticed that Yeremov's mood seemed to be a little low.

"Three questions."

Yeremov disagreed from the beginning, saying: "Twentieth century Fox has reached a dead end, except for Paramount. Several other Hollywood companies are waiting to see their jokes, and legend has it that they are ready to go bankrupt immediately if the Titanic project fails, which means that we may not be able to get the box office share we deserve at that time, and they suddenly go bankrupt and liquidate, and we have to go to court with creditors, which ends badly. ”

"What else?"

"Twentieth Century Fox's most successful 'Braveheart' last year was in cooperation with Paramount, and the combination of strong forces created a box office miracle, and they abandoned Paramount for the Titanic project this time...... We at A+ Film Studios can't help much with distribution. Even in the future video sales, you must know that Paramount's parent company Viacom owns the largest Blockbuster audio and video chain...... But tomorrow, as soon as Twentieth Century Fox announces that he has taken our money, then he will be an enemy of Paramount, and Shirley Lansing will have to snipe intensively even for his own personal future. One positive and one negative ......"

"Go on."

"According to the reliable information I have heard, Shirley Lansing and director Cameron had an in-depth discussion as early as July this year, and the two sides have maintained a very smooth interaction since then, and the personal relationship has been very good. She knows a lot more about the Titanic project than you know more about it than I do, and she doesn't want to invest money in it before getting the best terms for cooperation......"

"I understand your concern about Yeremov."

The three are all old words, Song Ya nodded in approval, "But as long as the Titanic project doesn't fail, your concerns don't exist, don't they?" ”

"It's too much of a gamble." Yeremov shook his head and sighed.

"Are there fewer similar gambles in Hollywood? You know that better than I do, so be it, there's no going back anyway. Song Ya comforted.

"Is it because of the Bath case feature that FoxNews anchor Hannity did the day before yesterday?"

Yeremov looked at the group photo, "So we have to curry favor with their big boss, Murdoch." ”

"Partially, but Murdoch shouldn't interfere with that station too much......"

This week, the trial judge in the Barn case convened a pre-trial conference between the defense and the prosecution, and the two sides exchanged evidence, witnesses and other materials, which meant that some information about the case could be made known to the media, such as one of the prosecution expert witnesses in the Barn case, a senior expert in the chemical industry.

FoxNews soon invited the old man to join the rookie anchor Hannedy's interview program, and the extremely conservative host interrupted the expert's speech in front of the camera the whole time, and manipulated the expert to attack him with inflammatory and misleading remarks.

For example: "So the data that APLUS ordered to be shipped away by Chinese enterprises is our core technology?" He asked.

"Uh......" The expert is still more ethical, "IMHO, it's not actually true, most of them are chemical ...... in the seventies"

Hannday interrupted: "But they were in the list of embargos in Batumi at that time? ”

"Yes."

Hannedy: "And Batumi's ban on exports to China must be our core secret, right?" ”

"That list hasn't been updated for a long time......"

Hannday interrupted: "We have, and they don't. ”

"Yes."

Hannedy: "So APLUS is helping them with practical actions, he's a traitor!" ”

"The correct way to say it is illegal ......"

Hannedy: "Traitor, he's betraying the country!" ”

"Uh......"

HANNEDY: "I know the legal euphemism, but I don't think anyone in this audience would feel the same way. ”

The bookish expert was finally confused, and it was not his turn to say a few words.

And so on, so I have to respond with actions again.
