Chapter 529: Two Days
Highland Park, Chicago.
Song Ya turned over lazily, put his hands in the air, and gradually sobered up.
"Linda ......"
Yawning and dialing the extension, then getting up to wash, Linda had arrived when she came out of the bathroom, her expression looked calm, and he was relieved, "How's it going?" ”
"Goodman just called, and he said someone told him to tell you not to worry about the female reporter at the Tribune."
Linda reported, "The vice president of Dow rushed to Massachusetts to sit down with Omniglow Chemical and talk about other ...... Nothing else, except for some local media, the mainstream media did not mention the paper again for the time being. ”
Dow is already in action, "What is everyone talking about? MJ? ”
Turn on the TV, an Apple PowerMac advertisement is playing inside, a boxy white case, and the rainbow Apple logo is placed on the front and bottom.
"Okay." He nodded in satisfaction.
I heard that this PC sold 150,000 units soon after it was launched, and the Motorola CPU in it is very powerful.
"It's not the same as before, MJ has been talked about all the time, and it hasn't stopped."
Linda said: "According to the revelations, law enforcement agencies in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara counties have spent millions of taxpayers in both places to investigate the MJ case, and more than two million dollars have been spent on maintaining the two grand juries alone, and the media in both places have been in a mess. ”
Song Ya tilted his head and thought for a while, "That's good news for MJ, right?" The victim has already chosen a civil settlement, and if the criminal investigation drags on like this for a long time, will California politicians change their attitude and force law enforcement to give a result as soon as possible? ”
"That's good news, that's right."
Linda agrees, "MJ's strong team of lawyers is very aggressive, and they start with everything that can be faulty, such as the handling procedures, evidence collection methods, and witness credibility of the prosecutors in both places, forcing the law enforcement agencies in both places to do everything they can to make every link impeccable." Otherwise, it is easy to get caught by the lawyers' team, resulting in the invalidation of the evidence or the refusal to submit it to the grand jury. Their actions have been very effective, and each frustration of the other side has dealt a major blow to the public image of law enforcement agencies and prosecutors in both places. ”
"Professional law enforcement agencies have spent so much, so how much does MJ spend on the lawyers' team?"
I have also fought a lawsuit, Song Ya knows very well that to a certain extent, the two sides compete for financial resources in a reasonable and legal way, and the law enforcement department has to go to work without you anyway, whether it is a police officer or a prosecutor at all levels, the salary is much meager than MJ's group of lawyers, and this also burns millions of taxpayers, and MJ will definitely not be able to fight without spending more than 10 million dollars.
"Who knows, MJ should be living like a year lately, and his perfect handling of criminal cases is completely no match for the rumors flying in the sky."
"Hmm."
He remembered that the vice president of Dow had mentioned that he wanted to use the MJ case to cover up the fluorescent agent, and it seemed that there was no need to contribute at all......
The people's eyes have long been completely unable to take their eyes off, one after another fierce news, it has been half a year, and the heat is still so high, I heard that the performance of various tabloids in California has risen sharply, and the whole industry has carnival.
"Any other news?" He asked Linda.
"Spielberg Schindler's roster won seven Oscars and three at Jurassic Park." Linda replied.
"Wow, Hollywood is about to let him take what he wants......"
Uh, I remembered that I just disagreed with Spielberg on the DTC listing progress, and I offended him a little, but it shouldn't matter, right? Spielberg's belly should not be able to tolerate even this small disagreement, after all, everyone's starting point is for the good of the company and make a lot of money together.
"There is also 2PAC who was accused of sexual assault and abuse by a woman late last year, and the criminal case is about to begin, and he is also arguing with Quincy Jones' daughter Rashida in the media, and Rashida has published an open letter condemning him, as if the cause is 2PAC's insulting remarks against her white mother."
"It's all mess."
Song Yacai didn't care about this kind of news, and walked out of the bedroom with Linda, and found that there were still many young men and women stranded in their villa, most of them were crew members, who had just spent a crazy night, and were hungry scattered around the buffet table of the party service company, chatting about the world and filling their stomachs with random food.
"Brother......
Cousin Connie and her little boyfriend were also there, "Amy stayed here yesterday too?" She ran over and asked.
"Yes, she was drunk...... Well? Song Yahu stared at her suspiciously, "Why do you care about this?" ”
"I thought your old love was rekindled." Connie gossiped out the door, "Look, she's lonely." ”
Looking over, Amy was sitting alone on the lawn, looking down at the plate in her hand.
“Fxxk! So you're Mimi's insider? Connie! ”
Song Yacai would not be distracted by her cousin who didn't have much of a city government, "I really didn't expect that my family would betray me for a little benefit!" ”
"I didn't take any benefits, I like her very much, you two are very right." Connie fled as quickly as she could.
"Hey! Stop being a whistleblower! ”
Song Ya smiled and shouted at her back, he also knew that Aunt Susie, Connie, and little Emily were very fond of Mariah Carey, and would receive various gifts from her from time to time.
I glanced at Amy's lonely back again, and was slightly distressed, now there are many people talking, and it is inconvenient to go to her for the time being, so let's use text messages to chat.
The next day, the work continued, in fact, all the scenes had been filmed, and now it was necessary to gradually reshoot some scenes that the old Larry was not very satisfied with, and the workload was not large.
Soon, two or three days later, the whole crew returned to Los Angeles one after another, and continued to shoot the chamber scenes on the Universal Studio.
"Let's cut out the interactive scenes between the second male and his family, especially his sister."
Dow basically managed to keep the media silent, so the time passed slowly to April, the movie was about to be closed, and the elder Larry began to make pre-preparations for the editing work, and the family background of the male protagonist in the original movie was changed to the second male lead, so the interaction with his sister was also moved.
But the second male has too many straight plots, which is inevitably a bit noisy, and after thinking about it, Old Larry decided to cut it, "Now the MJ case is so hot." He has another layer of consideration, in the current public opinion environment, the interaction between the second male and the underage sister is indeed a bit eye-catching.
"Yes."
Song Ya nodded in agreement, the relationship between the two characters in the original movie did not play a role in promoting the plot, he only copied it into the script out of superstition about the apocalypse.
The final editing right of the film is a bit complicated, and the three parties A+ Film Studio, Amperin Entertainment, and Universal Pictures should naturally be dominated by A+ Film Studio according to the investment amount, and the contract is also stipulated in this way.
But only Universal Pictures can decide the final length of the film, so in fact, the scissors that work in the end have been in their hands, after all, how long the master tape is sent to the printing house to copy and distribute to the theaters, only the distributor can tell.
In other words, they have a veto, they can't control the micro-manipulation of the editing, and they don't have the right to add anything to it, but they can wield scissors and click out any plot they don't like.
This is basically one of the iron rules of Hollywood, Song Ya naturally can't challenge it as a newcomer in the film industry, and he has to go back to school in mid-April, so he can't participate in the whole process, and for the time being, he plans to wait until the later version to give opinions according to the routine of the original movie, since he chooses to believe in the old Larry, he doesn't have to force it to be completely consistent with the editing method of the original.
Anyway, the script was written according to the rhythm of the original movie, and it was filmed like this in the past three months, so there shouldn't be much deviation.
As long as there are no major contradictions between the three parties of the cooperation, they can basically still be discussed, Spielberg has just been crowned king at the Oscars, and Amperin Entertainment has a great right to speak, as long as there is no contradiction with them, the distributor Universal will not mess around, this is just a youth idol song and dance film, and there are no sensitive social and political issues at all.
Plus I still have a lot of trouble.
“APLUS。”
The negotiation between the vice president of Dow and Omniglow Chemical went on for a long time, but the result did not seem to be satisfactory, and he was in a bad mood, "The female reporter is shut up, but the media, especially the professional financial media, still like to talk about your 'pig on the tuyere'." As soon as they mention that sentence, they will talk about our acquisition, and when they talk about the acquisition, they will think of the glow stick, and when they think of the light stick, their eyes will move to the paper......"
"I'm not happy with your ability to act APLUS, you have to take their attention off you as soon as possible!"
The vice president scolded as he spoke, "We have a collapse with Omniglow Chemical and their ally Takeda Chemical, and we will soon face the most severe public relations situation, don't blame me for not reminding you Boy, if you still don't do anything, I will personally help you and give you the last two days!" ”
"Help me with what?"
"You're smart, you should know we've investigated you very closely, and we know you do have a lot of secrets that will interest the media, don't you?" He hung up.
"Hey! What secrets? What do you know? Song Ya shouted into the microphone with a busy beep: "We are in a group!" Fxxk! ”
I don't know what the other party has in his hands, but it's nothing more than the about the acquisition process of Bath? This kind of old-school capitalist who turns his face and doesn't recognize people will do what he says, and Song Ya hurriedly asked his subordinates to discuss it together.
"What big moves can we make for you lately?"
Crisis PR Eli scratched his head, "Expose yourself again to steal a scene?" ”
"That hurt Mimi too much, and it didn't do me any good at the box office." Song Ya shook his head.
"So what's the way to get all the media to take their attention away from you as the youngest African-American billionaire in two days?"
Hayden complained, "How about finding you an illegitimate child?" ”
"Your joke is very out of place...... Hayden," Song Ya glared at his agent.
DiDi ...... DiDi ......
Mariah Carey: 'I'm going back to China soon, you're not going back to Chicago, are you?' ’
'Yes, I'm still in Los Angeles. Didn't you say that the fifth came back? ’
Mariah Carey: 'I miss you so much that Newman cut back on his announcement. I'll be there tomorrow. ’
'Okay, I'll pick you up at the airport. ’
Put away your phone, "What to do?" Dow only gave me two days, and I'm going to pick up Mimi from the airport tomorrow. He asked his men.
"Will Miss Kelly be here tomorrow?" Eli sat up straight, his eyes lit up.
