Chapter 1175: Like an Animal
As Songya and Alicia watched through the shutters, the convoy of the governor and other politicians drove away.
Flock's family background is still a little worse, Peter was born in an ordinary family, went to law school on a scholarship, got average grades in school, and joined the Illinois prosecutorial system after a short period of practice, starting from the lowest level of prosecutors, working all the way until he was elected as the state attorney of Cook County, and then went to prison and was released from prison for power, money, and sex, and ran for governor......
He doesn't seem to be content with resting on his laurel job as governor, and in his own words, 'I'm from a similar background to the Arkansas commander, both come from the grassroots, and now the people like that,' so I've been enlisting the support of big corporations all these years.
However, Illinois multinational corporations such as Boeing, Caterpillar, M Kee, Motorola, John Deere, Sears Department Store, etc., are relatively 'stingy' towards politicians, and they will not and do not need to put their eggs in one basket like Song Ya himself, an equally uneducated nouveau riche, and donate 100,000 yuan to this politician's campaign office and 300,000 yuan to his opponent's office, so as to express their tendencies without stepping into vain.
They prefer to give safe support from the direction of industrial layout, local investment and other political achievements. Of course, they also need politicians to help solve the trouble, but when it comes to that sordid level of legal risk, it is more appropriate to choose long-term cooperation, and the Daley family, which has been in power in Chicago for a long time, is more suitable, and it is not easy for Peter to dig into the corner.
"I've had enough."
Alicia complained as she stretched her arms back and asked Songya to help put on her conservative coat: "I feel funny every time I show up with Peter. As she spoke, her eyes turned to Sloane's high-end ready-to-wear.
There is no way, a conservative politician like Peter must have a good wife, and Alicia not only has to show strong support after his prostitution scandal, but also has to wear the 'safe' brand of a local or even local designer to accompany him to various occasions to curry favor with the conservative crowd and show support for the local manufacturing industry, at most playing tricks on brooches, silk scarves, necklaces, watches, bags, shoes and other items, and that's it, still can't choose too expensive luxury goods, at least not in public.
Although with the income of her title partner of a major law firm, she can afford to buy and dress.
"Is there an article to do on APLUS's singer contract?"
Sloan, the CEO of the media group, has no such concerns, and Akris professional dresses, Cartier jewelry, Van Cleef & Arpels watches, and LV bags are all on his body one by one.
"Universal doesn't make any low-level mistakes."
Alicia's eyes narrowed as if she wanted to be stabbed, and sat down across from Sloan, "If APLUS is willing to put a new song and a selected album in the back, there may be a bit of room for manipulation, and Universal may default on the promotion and publicity costs." ”
After years of working together, she now knows a lot about the record industry as well.
"It's impossible to pick up, it's too early for the next album."
Song Ya diligently handed coffee to the two girls.
"Then it can't be helped." Alicia took a sip, "Hmm! She saw the time on her watch, "No, I have to go, and the hour bill will be sent to you APLUS." ”
"No problem." Song Ya touched her long chestnut hair.
"I'll go down with you." Sloan also put down her glass, the IPO was imminent, and she was also rushing back to New York, "Wow, the bag is beautiful Alicia." ”
"Hehe, Longchamp."
The two women went out with their mouths open.
"See you at the airport, Alicia, and wait for my good news Sloane." Song Yamu sent them into the elevator.
It seems that it is unlikely that there will be trouble on the record appointment in a short period of time, so I can only find other ways, Song Ya is not as relaxed as before, rubbing her eyebrows and returning to the office, there is another way, go directly to the father and uncle of Little Bronfman to complain, but that depends on strategy.
In a few days, there will be an opportunity, and the two Sigram veterans of A+ Wine will come to Huaguo to greet him one step earlier, and they should be able to spread the word through them first.
During this period......
At present, except for the IPO of Littleman Media, Bronfman Jr.'s scope of attack is not large, well, it's hard to say what specific instructions he really gave him, that kind of bigwig-level figure, his senior managers will figure it out, for example, Ron Meyer, president of Universal Pictures, is actively fighting for the right to adapt Cold Mountain films and deliberately selectively ignoring the cooperation project with A+ Film Studio.
"Catherine, I'll star in the Blade sequel, well, I know Universal is a little hesitant right now, let's figure it out together."
Fortunately, Bronfman Jr. cherishes his reputation, and David Geffen, Sandy Glenn, Doug Morris and Ron Meyer are also very strict-mouthed, and even top Hollywood producers such as Catherine and his wife have not heard any specific news, and so far only some gunpowder has been smelled from Ron Meyer's unusual behavior and the advertising ban on the American music website.
"Cold Mountain? Yeremov was working with Touchstone Pictures, and I didn't know about it at first...... Well, you know Xue Linfen's character, she likes Hanshan poems, she likes beggars, and naturally she also likes Lengshan. Well? What do you mean......"
Catherine said on the phone that her KM Pictures would also join the competition for Cold Mountain and join forces with Universal Pictures, which has been a long-term partner.
It's not a fuel-efficient lamp, a sense of smell, it's enough to have a sense of smell, "I understand, it doesn't matter, business is business, and it wasn't suitable for my film company to shoot a project with a southern perspective, well, and it's an art film." ”
"It doesn't matter, I don't have an opinion on who gets the adaptation rights, it's free competition."
"No, what is this haha, I'm not that careful."
Since the loss of Litman Media's IPO has not yet settled, and he has not made trouble, he is basically still in a quiet period, but as time goes by, there will be more and more people like Catherine who smell strange, and the level will go down more and more, and there is no secret in Hollywood.
Song Ya continued to work and study, and Bronfman Jr. began to meet frequently with major banks and financial bigwigs, his father was the president of the Global Jewish Congress, and it was easy to have a dinner with an old guy of Warren Buffett's level.
The rich third generation who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth was very diligent in order to win Polygram, and he may not be able to take care of himself for the time being.
"Now I'm all done, APLUS."
But his subordinates won't let up, and a few days later, his former mentor Daniel was also instructed by Doug Morris to remove the RIAA from his position as chairman of the Copyright Dispute Committee, "Damn, I can't really expose Doug Morris." ”
But Daniel didn't know that things were messed up because he refused to bow his head, and now that he had lost his position, he no longer had any taboos, and came directly to Chicago, "Does our agreement still count?" ”
"Your record label is released by Sony Columbia, right?" Song Ya asked rhetorically.
Originally, after the matter was completed, he would hand over Leng Shan's soundtrack to Daniel's record company for distribution, but now the former thing, the agreement after the advertising ban is delayed until the IPO of Litman Media is yellow, and the latter thing, Leng Shan's competition is also more intense, and whether A+ Film Studio can get the adaptation rights is still up to the two of them.
"Yes, one of the conditions Sony offered when I left was to fund my personal record label."
Daniel replied, "I'm half on their side." ”
"Daniel, Daniel......"
Song Ya scratched his head by calling his name, Daniel's appearance has not changed from back then, his hair seems to be grayer, he has lost his eyes in the record career, and none of the street rock groups he signed have picked up, "Little Bronfman has been to the book, he has seen Sony's senior management, he seems to have a tacit understanding with Sony Columbia Records, and Rick Rubin ran out of votes during the first round of voting for the advertising ban." ”
"Now I'm desperate APLUS, I need that soundtrack."
Daniel really can't help it, and he can't accept this cruel reality when he is about to be reduced from the six presidents all the way to an insignificant little person in the record industry. While talking, he visited the office of the president of A+ Records, which was not individually renovated by Song Yawei, "Is this a replica?" He asked, pointing to the five Grammys and an Oscar-winning figure in the humble Honor Corner.
"It's a replica."
"What do you say?"
"Grammy?"
"Cold Mountain Soundtrack!"
"Your promise didn't keep Daniel ......"
"But I've done everything I can for you, and now I don't even have the last fig leaf." Daniel clung to the last straw and refused to let go.
“Emmm……”
"Please, APLUS. Do you really want to see me abandon my dignity in front of you? ”
"Of course not, I'm grateful for your support for me before."
After all, the matter was messed up by himself, and Daniel will understand sooner or later, Song Ya complained after saying beautiful words, "But don't you walk around the room, okay?" I'm a little dizzy. ”
“OK。” Daniel obediently sat down across from the boss's table.
Song Ya recalled that in the past, when he went to see him at SBK headquarters, the positions of the two of them happened to fall one by one, and he was a little embarrassed and a little dark in his heart, "In this way, if you want to get the soundtrack, you have to work the Cold Mountain project." ”
"How?"
"Of course, it was to help A+ Film Studio win the adaptation rights, and Yeremov and Xue Linfen faced very strong competitors."
When people make the best use of it, Daniel's sword tricks may also come in handy in Hollywood.
"I read the gossip reports in the Liangtang couple more than once openly said that they like Leng Shan's original work, who else but them?" Daniel asked.
"Well, Pretty Soup's CW Pictures and Paramount, Catherine's KM Pictures and Universal, the Weinstein Brothers' Miramax, our opponents are strong."
"Is that decided?" Daniel was anxious to get his coat, "I'm joining, who are I looking for?" ”
"It's settled."
Song Ya got up and shook hands with him, "Yeremov." ”
"I'm flying to Los Angeles."
"Okay."
The two were saying goodbye when Melissa came in and reported: "Boss, there's news about you!" And Ms. Kelly! ”
"Don't shout Melissa, it's a normal thing, which station?" Song Ya glared at the babbling temporary assistant dissatisfiedly.
"Almost all of them!"
'Little Rock District Court vetoed Paula Jones' sexual harassment charges, and the incumbent president won all! ’
CUU is covering the case of the Grand Chancellor and another woman, "and at the same time that the judge in the case ruled that the current Chancellor could not be exempt from investigation because of the immunity of the administrative officer, and the evidence and transcripts of the trial related to the Paula Jones case were made public, in which we found some interesting information." The host said with a smile.
'White House? Seriously, I don't miss working there, you know? ’
CUU then played a recording, which seemed to be the voice of White House intern Lewinsky, which was supposed to be a private conversation secretly recorded by her best friend, and Lewinsky was complaining: 'Some big guys, celebrities, aren't very good in private, just take the two big stars APLUS and Mariah Carey, who rushed into the East Room bathroom as soon as they arrived at the White House, and were inside...... Really, it's like an animal that can come into heat anytime and anywhere. ’
Hearing this, Daniel immediately wiped his face and covered his mouth with his palm.
"Uh, uh......"
Song Ya grew her mouth and was dumbfounded, and then startled by the ringing phone.
"Miss Kelly is looking for ......," Melissa answered.
"Tell her I'm going to catch a plane to China!" Song Ya also picked up his coat and slipped away faster than Daniel.
