Chapter 1189: Courage

Underwood and Peter quickly realized that it was no longer convenient to talk about it, and it was not only the two of them who came to the ceremony today, a large number of politicians, a large number of media and online industry peers were there, and the two quickly slipped away, Alicia was going to take the two children home, leaving only Underwood's wife Claire to stay and wait for news.

"Do you want to go together? Claire. "Songya is out the door behind Sloan's ass, and his office is in the A+ Records building," told Shakira to wait for me to come back. He instructed Melissa, a classmate and assistant outside the door.

"I'll go to the banquet hall."

Then they are on the same road for the time being, and Claire only spoke when the three of them walked into the elevator, "Gordon's attack strategy is great, CUU and other media should follow tomorrow, is there a tacit understanding between them?" ”

"Probably not, I don't even know about it."

Of course, Song Ya knew that Sloan had promised Gordon the last time he stopped Gordon from breaking the news, allowing him to wait for Danburton to give a fatal blow when he ran for re-election, and now the timing was just right, because Danburton followed the Elephant Party a few days ago to scold the current general leader and hype up the Lewinsky case. ’

This is the same as calling CUU Arkansas, it is also a meme created by the party, and the actual meaning is to accuse the current president of being white-skinned and black-hearted, and treating blacks as good as his own, because he pays great attention to the black community in order to elect, and his vote share among blacks and his support in recent years are very high when he was re-elected in '96.

Gordon's perceptive old media people will not let go of this perfect motivation to go crazy, and he will rely on political correctness to throw out Damberton's cheating hammer, so that the outside world will think that he is fighting back against the gaffe that the black community is offended as a whole, and by the way, he can share the pressure on the current commander, and help the boss APLUS avenge the Barn case back then.

The liberal media will love this shock, Danburton is still in Congress sanctimoniously accusing the current president of cheating and messing around in the White House, and the back foot himself has been stripped of his hypocritical bottoms, which is very dramatic.

But Song Ya also knew that Danburton was the Senate boss and the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Jesse Helms, and the two sides finally had a truce.

"McAvoy's remarks today sound like what FoxNews would say, and it's not a big deal overall." Claire added, "But he can't go any further, APLUS, you can't just throw an irresponsible assumption at the audience." ”

Similar remarks by anchor McAvoy in response to the current Lord's court testimony have long been said by FoxNews, so the Donkey Party should be able to bear it, but as Claire said, it would be a bit too much to go any further, stepping on the line. Moreover, the nature of his own initiative to mention this stubble is completely different from that of the enemy media FoxNews, and the current commander-in-chief should be very angry, because the Elephant Party has been chasing after Lewinsky's recordings, and he is very nervous about this matter.

"We don't have any good restrictions on McAvoy, you know the super contract that Ovitz gave him...... Litman Media could not afford to pay liquidated damages. ”

Sloan explained.

Claire shrugged her shoulders coldly, stepped out of the elevator, and headed for the ballroom.

"McAvoy just raised a possibility."

Song Ya and Sloan walked into the office of the station's director, Charlie Skinner, the silver-haired old man who was standing in front of the display screen wall to monitor the operation of the entire station, and he knew the reason for Sloane's domineering rush in, and spoke first.

Song Ya clasped his hands on his chest, and without saying a word, he found a corner of the table to listen, Sloane didn't let himself speak, just show his attitude when he was present, and if he said too much, he might be caught by the old fox.

"Don't say you don't understand the subtleties here...... Charlie, you've been a media guy for decades. ”

Sloan was angry and asked the old man, "On the first day of moving to Chicago?" I think you and McAvoy are deliberately offending us at the right time to expand our voice in the stage. ”

"Not at all."

The old man put on an innocent look and spread his hands, "McAvoy just wants to remind the public that there is such a possibility, he has always been a maverick and has the courage of a media person, otherwise you wouldn't like ACN, buy ACN." ”

"I do admire him, but not today."

Sloan raised his hand to Song Ya, "The politicians here today should be able to show how well we have a good relationship with the Donkey Party in Chicago!" You are old media people, don't say that you don't understand what tacit understanding should be between you and us. ”

"I APOLOGIZE TO YOU, MS. SLOANE, AND MR. APLUS." The old man apologized solemnly.

"Don't think we don't dare fire McAvoy, well, it's true that Littman Media can't afford to fire him right now, but I warn you, if he says anything too much in the Lewinsky case, I can fire you, Charlie." Sloan continued to threaten.

"Charlie goes, I'll leave too." McAvoy himself pushed the door in.

"That's easy!"

Sloan domineeringly threw a warning look at the two, shook his hair and left, Song Ya touched his chin and smiled at the director and anchor of ACN, and followed her out without saying a word.

"McAvoy's ethics will not allow him to continue to attack the current commander when there is only one recorded evidence, but Gordon's revelations have been of great interest to liberal media such as CUU, who reposted Gordon's program clips today, and the Washington Post, New York Times and other major print media have also reprinted and followed up on the report, and so far, Danburton has not responded."

The next day, Yeremov rushed back to Los Angeles, Daniel was sitting on the conference room table with his feet crossed, reading the newspaper while waiting for him to come to the meeting, "The ultra-conservatives are dying out, they have offended almost all the multinationals, they have not paid attention to political correctness, they have a bad reputation at home and abroad, they will have no votes, no campaign money, and they will eventually die out in the next century." ”

Daniel commented.

Yeremov, recalling the threat of his boss, became more and more wary and unhappy with Daniel, and knocked the soles of his lit shoes with his briefcase, "Don't stain the table, wait for someone from the rental company to come." ”

"We're moving out?"

Daniel's 'we' made Yeremov's eyelids tremble, and he replied angrily: "A+ Film Studio is no longer suitable for staying near Universal Studios. ”

"You should persuade APLUS, why are you so stiff with the world...... Where are you going to move? ”

"West Hollywood? Or Bambock ...... "Yeremov didn't want to talk to the other party about internal things in the company and diverted the topic," what did the Cold Mountain project say? ”

"I'll arrange for you to meet with the people from Grove Press, and they'll be over later."

"I wasn't informed......"

"You can't get through."

"That should be on the plane, Daniel, you'd better check with me next time, I may not have time to ......"

"Come on, Yeremov." Daniel interrupted him, "Time is very important to us, and after Grove Press learned that APLUS and you were buying Polygram Pictures, they thought that the Anna and King project would have an impact on Cold Mountain, and we had to reassure them as soon as possible." ”

"I see."

"I just called APLUS, and I can also help with Polygram Pictures, I know PolyGram very well and know a lot of people."

"He agreed?"

"No, he's worried about it......" Daniel threw the newspaper on the table, and the New York Times was mocking Danburton for being caught raping, with the picture Gordon had given yesterday.

Yeremov secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, the casting for the Girl Next Door project is over? I just met Larry Sr., and he said the crew was ready to go to Chicago to start work? ”

"It's none of your business, Daniel." Yeremov sat down across from him.

"Mr. Glass!" Xue Linfen, who was dressed beautifully, walked in at this time, "Wait a minute, will Mr. Charles Fraser, the author of Cold Mountain, also be there?" ”

"No, just the Grove Publishers, and maybe the Atlantic...... Xue Lin, wait a minute, you and the other party want to be like this...... ...... put it this way."

Daniel taught Xue Linfen what to say and what not to say, and Yeremov became more and more irritable when he listened, and he didn't sulk at all.

"Boss, the president of Fox Film is here, in the office." In the middle of the meeting, he was called into his office by his assistant.

Fox Film President Bill McKennick sat relaxed in his boss's chair, holding the photo frame he had placed on the table, taking a photo with the current Commander's wife, "Yeremov, Yeremov......" Seeing him enter the door, he flicked his head on the photo with his finger a little frivolously, "Seriously, I've known you for so many years, and it's gratifying to see what you are today." ”

"Thanks, what's the matter with me? Mr. McKennick. ”

Yeremov squeezed out a smile, "Congratulations too, the big ship can still stay in the top five of the North Mi Weekly box office list." ”

"It's all gone." Bill McKennick waved his hand casually, "We've got to look forward." ”

"Yes, yes, we disagree on the calculation of the publicity and distribution funds of the big ship......"

"I'm not going to talk about that today." Bill McKennick interrupted him, "You're helping APLUS buy PolyGram Pictures?" ”

"Yes."

"Where's the progress?"

"Well, it's not convenient to disclose, we're preparing for the next round of negotiations."

"I've heard that Bronfman Jr. and Ron Meyer are angry with you both, and he gave PolyGram an ultimatum to forbid any further contact with you, otherwise the deal to buy Polygram Records will be canceled." Bill McKennick has a big news.

"Really? I haven't heard of ...... yet," Yeremov was stunned.

"You've got to be smarter." Bill McKennie tapped on his head with his index finger, "Okay, let's not talk about that, I just talked to Jodie Foster about working together on the Anna & Kings project?" What do you think? ”

"Oh?"

Yeremov almost couldn't control his facial expression and laughed on the spot, "That project was ...... first by our A+ film studio"

"What's the first thing to come?"

Bill McKennie stood up, "Then let's talk about it, let's have dinner with Jodie Foster in the evening and settle this matter, our enemy is Universal Pictures, and I heard that Ron Meyer also intends to interfere." ”

"I didn't get the news......"

"By the time you know it's going to be too late."

"Wait, Mr. McKennie, I'll have to ask the boss first, he doesn't necessarily like other companies meddling in Anna and the King......"

"Ask, but you still have to come in the evening, nine o'clock, on time, don't play tricks."

Bill McKennick dropped a matchbox from a fancy restaurant before leaving the door.

Yeremov didn't catch it, fell to the ground, and when he bent down to pick it up, he heard the door closing, he took a deep breath and rearranged the picture frame that was messed up by Bill McKennick, "Boss, ...... just now"

"You deal with it."

After reporting truthfully, Song Ya's impatient voice came from the other end of the phone, "What's the matter?" That crappy second generation has popped up again, so I'm now a Hollywood bully again? I'm very busy right now, ACN's business...... Don't keep me seeing this disgusting news. ”

"Which guide is the second generation?"

"Do you want to do M-FXXK anymore!? Go to the TV yourself! "The phone was hung up.

Yeremov didn't bother to go back to the meeting, so he asked his subordinates to hurry up and help find the news from the boss.

'APLUS IS A BAD GUY, THERE'S NO ONE IN ALL OF HOLLYWOOD WHO MAKES ME SICK TO THE POINT OF PHYSICAL DISCOMFORT, HE'S THE ONLY ONE, I REMEMBER SAYING THAT MANY YEARS AGO, WHEN HE WAS A LITTLE POP STAR, INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT, BIG NAMES AND TRICKSTERS, I HAD ENOUGH OF IT, AND WOULD RATHER LOSE MY JOB THAN WORK WITH HIM......'

It turned out to be David Lynch's daughter, Jennifer Lynch.

"Yeremov, where are you!? What time is it!? ”

At half past nine in the evening, Bill McKennick had already made several phone calls, and as soon as he got through, he roared angrily, "Did I warn you not to be late!?" You'll have five minutes to be in front of me and Jodie Foster! ”

Yeremov hung up, turned off his phone, "Whew!" He let out a long breath into the mirror, his fingers parted, straightened out the long flowing strands of hair that were so important to cover the Mediterranean, and then began to spray the mousse upwards, his eyes becoming more and more determined.

"Boss, the reporter is waiting."

"Okay, right away."

He straightened his suit and hurried out of the building with his briefcase, and a small film crew on the dark street tacitly blocked his interview, "Mr. Yeremov, can you talk about director Jennifer Lynch's criticism of APLUS?" ”

"Utterly unsubstantiated statements, and excessive. David, her father should discipline her well, apologize, and speak honestly and practically in the future, her level is too bad, and I suspect that she has a mental problem, and Hollywood companies that are a little sane will not cooperate with her, look at it, it won't be long before she even has to shoot a TV series. Oh yes, she doesn't have to shoot anymore, she only does chores in other people's episodes, and shoots one or two episodes on behalf of the class? She shouldn't be given this kind of opportunity! ”

Yeremov squirted wildly.

"You're calling for a ban?" The reporters who had been prepared in advance were very cooperative.

"She brought it on herself, spreading rumors about an amphibious superstar......"

"There are still a lot of people in Hollywood who agree with her."

"Who!?" Yeremov stopped and questioned.

"Uh......"

"Anyway, she should keep her mouth shut." Yeremov continued to stride forward.

"Let's talk about you and Polygram Pictures, right?"

"I started with an interest in the Anna & King project......"

"But I've heard that a lot of Hollywood companies are also chasing this project."

"They shouldn't have done that, I'm going to get it."

The next day, he was openly scolded by Bill McKennick, "The wail of the loser, now that we at Fox Film are ahead on the Anna & Kings project, Jodie Foster and I are on the same page." ”

"Speaking of losers, I remember how last year Bill begged me to keep throwing money into the big boat, I'm going to jump off the building, I'm going to jump off the building...... Help me. ”

Yeremov gritted his teeth and fought back in front of the camera, imitating the other party's crying, "Forgot about it this year?" Hehe, first of all, don't come and steal my project from me, and secondly, don't fucking try to play tricks on the big ship, A+ Film Studio hasn't seen the money in that No. 1 project in film history, he can't run away! ”

Bill McKennick was mad, he was in a meeting with Jodie Foster, he saw Yeremov's remarks speechless, his eyes were about to pop out, and before he could fight back, Arnold Koppelson, the owner of Regent Films, ran out for no reason, "Yeremov doesn't know who he is?" The boss he works for, APLUS, supports online piracy, and he is the enemy of Hollywood and the record industry, he works for APLUS, and he is APLUS's spy in Hollywood, which reminds me of those traitors during World War II. ”

"I suspect that Arnold Kopperson is an Israeli spy (the other party is an Israeli national)!"

Yeremov let it go, in fact, there is really no such rumor in the circle.

Arnold Kopearson was at a dinner party when the news came, and he shrugged his shoulders to the celebrities who had saluted him, "Yeremov seems to have gone mad." "But I really didn't continue to align with each other.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Bill McKennick frantically pushed into the car from the reporters who asked him if he had begged for the threat of jumping off a building, most of them were tabloid paparazzi hired by Yeremov.

"Yeremov? He's an insignificant villain, APLUS's loyal dog. "Old enemy, Jopesie of Hollywood's Italia scoffs.

"He's still worried about his career, now is not the era of mafia, is anyone still looking for that box office poison to make a film?" Yeremov sneered.

"All of us should calm down." Ron Mayera, president of Universal Pictures, said, "I have noticed Mr. Yeremov's recent remarks, and I am very careless. ”

"Universal is suppressing me, fans around the world are waiting for the sequel to Blade, and the delay of the project is all their responsibility!"

Yeremov encouraged Zack Schneider and other long-awaited creators of the project to stand up in solidarity, calling on fans to unite and contact the autograph collection campaign to force Universal to restart the sequel as soon as possible.

Soon, PolyGram hinted that it would not continue to negotiate with A+ Film Studios for the acquisition of Polygram Pictures.

"This decision violates the interests of their shareholders, and don't forget that they are a public company!" Yeremov was on fire, "It's not over......"

"It seems that APLUS really doesn't want to issue a special album this year? The contradiction seems to have intensified a bit...... Isn't the Blade project very lucrative? ”

A Chase representative who was in a meeting with Bronfman Jr. put down the newspaper and asked, "Rumor has it that you gave PolyGram an ultimatum, but also promised to pay the price of raising the purchase price?" ”

"So what?" Bronfman Jr. replied impatiently: "Or are you planning to quit?" Don't forget that you're not the only one willing to provide financing! ”
