Chapter 659: In front of the camera
"APLUS IS AN OVERLY GOOD YOUNG MAN, BUT HE STILL HAS AN AFRICAN IMPULSE INVESTMENT, AND IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A SMALL MISTAKE, DON'T GIVE UP ON GORDON, YOU STILL HAVE A CHANCE."
Pacissaton came over this time to find out Song Ya's investment intention in the inner city broadcasting company, the old man was in a good mood, and when he left, he comforted Gordon, who was a little frustrated, "I was also directly rejected by him when I first came. ”
"I hope so, but I'm different, I'm short on time."
As a top African-American news anchor, Gordon spent almost every day in Washington to record BET's evening news, and he knew in his heart that his boss Johnson was already suspicious that he wanted to find a home, and in order to create an opportunity to visit the new owner, he was very moved to come to New York under the pretext of recording live broadcast footage, but it was clear that this excuse could not be used often.
And he can't afford to take the risk of losing his status as an ace anchor of BET instead of fooling his next family.
Say goodbye to the old man and return to the gate of this manor mansion, where there is already a BET broadcast team waiting, and there are many reporters and broadcast vehicles from other media nearby, all preparing for the grand broadcast of the wedding on the 27th, but the inside of the manor cannot be filmed, and the exclusive has been sold to the long-term cooperation of GQ magazine by the money-grabbing couple.
"Give it to me."
Gordon asked for the microphone with the BET logo in his hand, "Have you found the background?" ”
"Please stand here, facing ......," the staff led him to the designated position and touched up his makeup slightly, "That's it." ”
"Okay, 1, 2, 3......"
He was familiar with the rhythm with the photographer, "Audience friends, I'm right outside the door of APLUS and Mariah Carey's love nest in Bedford Hills, New York, and the countdown to the high-profile wedding of two African-American superstars has begun, I just chatted with APLUS inside, and he told me ......"
He was recording a live broadcast, and a financial TV station on the other side was also recording a program, but the focus was different.
"Although he was frustrated when investing in a technology company and was publicly ridiculed by the company's founder, APLUS still seems to be in the center of the storm in '95, and this year the two companies he participated in, DTS and Netscape, have started a roadshow to go public, according to the prospectus, he can keep about three percent of the shares after the two companies go public, and in DTS, he also has a small number of B shares with ten times the voting rights, and can enjoy about five percent of the voting rights......"
"Of course, the current market is mixed about the listing prospects of the two companies, DTS is in the SD camp to monopolize the new audio-visual media standard, and Netscape has a very high market share, but the profitability has been widely questioned......
"In addition to the tech industry, APLUS still has a lot of investment in the industrial side after selling its promising glow stick factory to Dow, and I just met Scott, the president of A+ Apparel, who visited us, Scott, hello, say hello to the audience."
"Hello, audience friends, hello everyone."
As the business and the number of employees grew, Scott was already a business leader, smiling cleanly and shaking hands with reporters, then nodding to the camera.
"This year, you're going to be exhibiting a large number of stores in Jeonmi, right?" The reporter asked.
"Well, the number of directly operated stores will not be very large, and our development direction will still be the stores in the integrated mall, the counters, and some franchisees......" Scott replied.
"Is it convenient to reveal the number? Your short and long t-shirts sold very well last year. ”
"Yes, I want APLUS to wear the trend-setting blessing in the movie, the store and the counter are combined, and there are about 300 bars in the whole meter......"
"Wow, that's nice. Or do you just sell t-shirts? ”
"That's probably the case, long and short, and some original styles, please allow me to keep it a secret for the time being until the summer release...... I THINK SINGLE-MINDEDNESS IS A GOOD QUALITY, MR. APLUS IS A VERY SINGLE-MINDED PERSON, HE AND MISS KELLY BOTH WANT TO BRING THE BEST T-SHIRTS TO CONSUMERS, AND WE HAVE BEEN WORKING IT. ”
"Okay, thank you, and thank you for your company for bringing a lot of jobs to the country."
"Thank you."
Scott shook hands with the other and walked through the door of the manor's mansion surrounded by the camera and his entourage.
"Linton."
On the other side, the Hollywood Reporter reporter recognized Linton, the president of Hollywood Pictures, in the car at the door, and he and the photographer ran over and slapped the window directly in a non-polite manner.
"Stop."
Linton reluctantly told the driver, rolled down the window, "Hello......" He stretched out his hand to say hello, smiled, and called out the reporter's name.
"Hello, Linton, you and APLUS are working on a big project, right?" The reporter asked.
"Yes, the cat-and-mouse game, adapted from Mr. Abagner's original book 'Have the ability to catch me', this is Mr. Abagnell." Linton gestured to the people around him.
"Hey, Mr. Abbagnell."
The reporter also knows this legendary liar who was once a little famous, "Should I remind APLUS to be careful of you?" ”
"Haha......"
Abagnell smiled, he was a very quick person, and he was very good at doing show effects, and winked playfully, "Don't, because I brought a tech project." ”
"Hahaha!" The reporter laughed wildly.
Linton clenched his fists to his lips and coughed, and the driver restarted the car.
"Mr. Linton, the cat-and-mouse game project has already been decided, right? I heard it's Redliscott? ”
The reporter chased the slowly sliding car and did not give up.
"Yes, I have a hunch that our cooperation will be pleasant." Linton nodded.
"But I heard that he hasn't directed a new project in years, and his film studio, like yours, has been experiencing setbacks in recent years." The reporter asked.
"We are confident in this new project and both Mr Abbagnell and APLUS agree with us." Linton replied.
"About ...... investment"
"Twenty million, or more."
"When will filming start? Is the schedule set? Starring ......"
"I can't answer these questions right now, but I can tell you that the project is going very well and the budget management is healthy." Linton answered other questions from reporters one by one.
"Let's talk about your 'roommates' for the movie released earlier this month with Interscope Pictures, Polygram Pictures, and Nomura Babcock Brown. The one with a production cost of 22 million and a box office of 12 million. The reporter asked again.
Linton's face darkened, rolled up the window, and urged the driver to speed up.
As more and more guests came to Bedford Hills in advance, the reporters at the door began to get busy, and there were many examples of interviews with relevant industry targets like this.
In Chicago, another interview will also take place.
Cassiti stood in front of the demonstrator crowd at the Chicago police headquarters under the protection of the Southern lawyer, today she put on makeup, took off her thick old-fashioned glasses and replaced them with invisible, her face sad, her beautiful blonde hair was blown to the side by the Chicago wind, looking a little pitiful and weak.
"Yes, that's fine."
The southern lawyer discussed with the photographer and was very satisfied, so he asked Cassidy to continue to recite lines to the script, and he went to direct the crowd behind Cassidy to stand, "You, you stand next to you......"
He pushes some of the biker brawny men in biker jackets and beards to the edge of the crowd, pulling some of the more 'ordinary'-looking citizens to the center of the frame.
"There are too few people." Cassiti said.
"It's okay, someone will come later." The southern lawyer looked at his watch, and soon, the local ultra-white organization that he had just contacted brought in another group of people by bus.
"Fxxk, I don't want this kind of drunkard and homeless person." The southern lawyer smelled the liquor on the white man who was the first to get out of the car and covered his nose in disgust.
"You think I'm going to help Vic?"
The drunkard opened his mouth, revealing his missing teeth, "Look, Vic was beaten." ”
"Shut up, Frank."
Behind him, a large group of half-grown children were led by a beautiful young white woman, "We're here to make money." She asked the southern lawyer: "Half a day for 100 dollars per person, pay money first?" ”
"Yes, we'll march from here all the way to the FBI's Chicago office building." The Southern Lawyer replied.
"We're not going to be arrested, are we?"
"We've already applied, so you can rest assured that you don't stay away from the parade route."
“OK。” The white woman picked up the black child next to her, "Liam, let's go." ”
"Huh?" The Southern lawyer's eyes lit up when he saw the black child, "You hold him in the middle and stand behind Cassity." ”
"Do you need a little NGer to help the stormtroopers?"
Dissatisfied, the leader of the white bikers leaned into his ear and said, "Don't forget what our ultimate goal is!" ”
The Southern lawyer subconsciously pressed the cuff that covered the tattoo, "You know what, doesn't this prove that Vic also has black supporters?" Our main goal now is to get people, and bear with the rest for the time being. ”
After a while, some of the avatars of Vic and Sean and the cardboard placards that read 'We want a fair trial' were also delivered, and the Southern lawyer began to hand things out and direct everyone to shout slogans.
The crowd grew larger, and after Cassidy made a tearful declaration to the camera, the group demonstrated against the police station building for a few moments before heading to the F.B.I.'s Chicago office.
"Sure enough, it's a gang, and these extreme supporters of the stormtroopers will cause us big problems."
The FBI sub-director walked to the window and looked at the crowd of demonstrators at the entrance of the building, "I heard that our office in the South was attacked by the Ku Klux Klan in the morning. ”
"Did Sean recruit it?" He asked Carl Lightman.
"It's all recruited, they worked for APLUS in the New York wiretapping case, and APLUS knew that someone was eavesdropping on Mariah Carey, so they kept quiet and asked the stormtroopers to wait for the rabbit and catch the Italian-born private investigator who went to change the tapes and batteries for the recording equipment on the spot."
Carl Lightman replied.
"Okay, we can use that to get those four people to New York." The sub-chief nodded, "Use this as a breakthrough to continue the interrogation." ”
