Chapter 693: Full marks for a good man
The review of the 'epic blockbuster' Solomon and Queen Sheba will be mixed up by Halle like this, and a few European film companies who secretly came to BET to promote just got rid of the danger of being beaten up, and immediately went to surround the big boss Johnson, and the flattery was very ugly.
"What's going on?"
Song Ya temporarily pulled her to sit down in the screening room next door 'how can I stop this?' "When a film is desperate, it will come to the TV station to sell, small-scale release, video tape market, and selection of independent film awards, these tricks have not been tried first?" ”
"I've tried, they specially sent someone to pull me to run the distribution company, in fact, I have already gone to NBC and other big stations to sell a circle, all using me as a selling point, if it wasn't for a friend in BET who revealed it privately, I wouldn't even know that they came here......"
Harley leaned pitifully on Song Ya's chest to complain, and the hand behind her back fanned her entourage who followed the door in disgust.
Song Ya didn't notice this scene, "William Morris didn't hear the wind either?" ”
"They told me not to take the movie, but I was ......dazzled by the Bible story, the black queen, the epic blockbuster," Hallie said, "and I signed a short-term contract with William Morris, do you remember?" You negotiated it for me, and I still have to sign back to CAA in my next brokerage contract. ”
"Repeated horizontal jumps will have this kind of hidden danger, Hallie." Song Ya reminded her.
"CAA has better resources in Hollywood, and Mr. Ovitz has become the president of Disney."
As soon as the two of them chatted for a few words, the head of the reviewer coughed lightly, so they both closed their mouths in obedience and quietly finished reading the rest of the paragraphs of 'How can I stop this?'
As a movie that is also 'cornered', this movie is really not very watchable, and after the whole film, Harley may have had too violent mood swings just now, and she has fallen asleep leaning on Song Ya's shoulder, making a long breathing sound, and the makeup on her face is still tear-stained.
"Stop pulling the curtains." Song Ya was very warm and stopped the staff from pulling the curtains open, "Let her sleep first." ”
"I'll talk to APLUS."
It just so happened that Johnson appeared at the door again, he hinted that his subordinates and Yeremov and others went out, and saw that Hallie was sleeping and didn't wake her up, and directly closed the door of the screening room and sat down on the other side of Song Ya, "No way, since the opening of BET's content company, there has been an endless stream of filmmakers who come to sell as much as today, we are a new company, and we are offering higher prices in order to grab resources...... Actually, my main purpose in starting this company is to develop self-produced content. He explained a little.
In recent years, the Los Angeles riots, the general election, the MJ case, the Simpson case and other news flashpoints that the black community and even the whole country have paid attention to, as well as the rapid expansion of a large number of new subscribers from the TCI cable network and the telephone and telegraph company, BET has developed rapidly in recent years, and Song Ya feels that the black media tycoon in front of him, whose value has increased year by year, has gradually developed a real media tycoon mentality, and is no longer as arrogant as he was when he first met with him a few years ago, and has become much more modest and introverted.
"I understand that this film is just a small business."
Song Ya knows that BET is very angry now, even if it is a TV movie with black elements, their requirements are quite high, and it is difficult for bad movies that are not even interested in the video rental market to pass their film review, "It's really not good, I'll find a few small theaters with good relationships to screen for a few days, and temporarily put them into the A+ film studio's library after the painting." ”
"Hmm."
Johnson said: "The main thing is that you don't want to sign a long-term VAM agreement, in fact, our requirements are not high, one a year, and the quality is maintained at a certain level." ”
Without the blessing of the apocalypse, the level must not be maintained, Song Ya knows his own family affairs, and shook his head with a smile, "When I don't invest in black movies, Spike Lee and they scolded me for making some white films, and when I invested, they said that I was sending away the money and calling Hanako, and now I finally understand that if I don't spend tens of millions of dollars a year, I can't please the NGER group in Hollywood." ”
"That's right."
Johnson probably also felt deeply, smiled bitterly and agreed, and said: "But this is actually the norm in the industry, I heard that Spielberg's new DreamWorks recently intends to cooperate with Microsoft's Paul Allen, take a super big investment from Paul Allen, and then DreamWorks releases several movies that meet the VAM agreement every year." ”
“WTF? I said why those Jews didn't move this year, it turned out that they were holding back the big news! Issuance? Are they serious? ”
Without playing with herself, Song Ya felt that she had no expectations for the plastic friendship that David Geffen always talked about.
"Yes, the director, the producer, Spielberg has done the top, managing the seven major and producing the best animated films, Katzenberg has played everything he can, and there is a record industry bigwig David Geffen, the three of them can only get involved in the field of film distribution if they take a step forward......"
"The economy is good right now, everybody is ambitious," Johnson said. ”
"So let me think again, Mr. Johnson." Song Ya nodded thoughtfully.
"No problem."
Johnson continued the topic that had been interrupted by Hallie earlier, "What do you think about the inner city broadcaster, is it convenient to reveal?" ”
Ultimately, he worries about new competitors in the media industry.
"I don't know, it's the truth."
The black mainstream media circle is not big, and Song Ya knows and can't hide how long the top player in front of him is, "Everyone knows that the inner city broadcaster is a mess, I casually agreed to Patsy Sutton before the wedding, and now their father and son are using me as the last straw, I feel like I am groping in a fog, I don't know how much debt the inner city broadcaster has all over the meter, and I don't know if the valuation they give is valid." ”
"You don't have to worry about that, that company has been used as an ATM by African-American Donkey politicians in Manhattan for years, and as their political energy ebbs, the rotten lid will never be able to cover that day. Who is left in the gang with heads and faces? Patsy Sutton's brother Oliver Sutton, a Justice of the Supreme Court of New York City, and Herman McCall who can barely count as a member of the Manhattan Gang? New York State Comptroller ...... That's it. ”
Johnson named two names.
Song Yaxin said of course you don't care about this, but as a newcomer, I can't ignore such powerful black political and media resources, especially under the pressure of the haunting FBI detective's murder, "I'm from the bastard party." He smiled wryly at Johnson.
"Hehe, believe me, the Nger of the Donkey Party is much more corrupt than the Elephant Party, we have Colin and Condoleeza, all of whom are really politicians with many years of governing experience, and they are much better than those of the Donkey Party who can only deceive the people to get votes......"
Johnson repeated the same old tune and persuaded him to 'transfer'.
The two chatted in a low voice in the dark screening room for more than an hour, Johnson coaxed, seduced, and offered to buy, but in fact, there was only one purpose, you don't buy the inner city broadcaster!
He didn't use threats this time, Song Ya responded with a sad face and 'I really don't know what to do', "Again, I have no intention of investing in the TV industry, and besides, the inner city broadcasting company is mainly engaged in radio station business, and it is not in competition with you." At present, I am entrusting a law firm to do preliminary research, and I don't necessarily have to buy that company. ”
"APLUS, IT'S SAD IF THERE IS A WAR BETWEEN THE RICHEST BLACKS IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY, AND I HOPE WE DON'T GET TO THAT POINT." Johnson, probably annoyed by his Tai Chi, finally gave him a small warning.
"I'm nowhere near you." Song Ya said just as she saw Harley's long eyelashes blink in her arms, so she quietly reached out to scratch her waist, and her body began to tremble from desperate patience.
"Not necessarily, right? I know your A+ Apparel, A+ Audio, and tech investments haven't gone public yet, but we're not that far away. ”
Johnson dropped his sentence and walked out.
"Nasty, stop! APLUS…… Haha......"
There was no one else, and Harley immediately laughed and twisted her hand to avoid him, her body tightened even more, and the two remained ambiguous for a few seconds, and she simply straddled it with heavy breathing.
"Stop, Hallie." Song Ya raised her left hand to show her the wedding ring on her ring finger.
"Fxxkyou, little negative man." Hallie lost interest for a moment and got up to disengage, "You've been disciplined by her so well!" ”
"Hoo ......"
The figure is still so amazingly beautiful, Song Ya let out a sigh of relief, and pulled his pants casually, "Who am I?" A+, full marks for a good man. ”
"Cut!" Harley doesn't believe it, she goes to open the door to the screening room, and "makeup bag ......" shouts outside.
Her assistant came in to help with her makeup, and Song Ya also stood up, "I'm leaving, Harley, I have to rush back to Chicago in the evening, don't let that bad movie affect your mood." ”
"Hmm." She was closing her eyes and asking her assistant to pick up her makeup.
"Then I...... Let's go? ”
"Well, Bye......" she replied casually.
The reaction was not very enthusiastic, Song Ya was a little disappointed, walked to the door with his hands in his pants pockets, and looked back at her silently concentrating on makeup, before going to meet Yeremov and the others.
In the evening, he chatted with Yeremov about DreamWorks on a private jet, Yeremov didn't know much about Johnson, "I just heard that Paul Allen, one of the founders of Microsoft, began to invest and enjoy a lot after escaping the clutches of Hodgkin's disease, and he had contact with the DreamWorks trio, but the specific cooperation has not yet been decided, I heard that Paul Allen wants to get involved in distribution, but the DreamWorks trio is still very hesitant to challenge the Big Seven." ”
"These Jews ......," Song Ya scolded, "they have invested a total of 30 million yuan in DreamWorks, and they can get hundreds of millions of investments from tech tycoons without even changing hands in a movie!" ”
"Uh......" Yeremov was embarrassed.
"I'm not scolding you." Song Yacai remembered that he was also Jewish.
"It's okay, the main one is Spielberg, how can we compare ......," Yeremov said.
"What happened to Spielberg?"
The future governor's wife appeared in the cabin in a graceful manner, she seemed to have drunk some wine, kicked off her high heels at will, and poured directly into the wide VIP seat, "Whew! Sighing comfortably.
"I'm in a good mood, Alicia." Song Ya smiled and asked, "It seems that the result of this trip is very good?" ”
"Yes, the telecommunications bill should pass the Senate soon, and the pressure will be on the House of Representatives immediately, and as the party whip, Underwood is doing his best to help the Commander get the bill passed in the House of Representatives......
"At this time, they must not do without the full support of the Midwest Donkey Party's political forces," Alicia said. ”
"That's really good news." Song Ya pointed to the flight attendant who came over, and the two tacitly agreed not to talk about the topic again.
"Mrs. Flock, what do you need to drink?" The aunt flight attendant asked very professionally.
"Uh......" she thought for a moment, "some more champagne......
"Okay, wait a minute."
The plane landed in Chicago on time, "Let Mawota send you, Alicia." Song Ya helped her down the gangway again gentlemanly.
"Thank you."
Her interest was not very high, Song Ya knew that she had just borrowed wine and looked at her a few times on the plane, but she didn't give feedback, she seemed to be a little annoyed.
I didn't expect to really tease Peter's wife? Song Ya had tried to play before, he knew very well that he must not destroy the alliance with Peter now, and besides, he didn't want to betray his good wife in Los Angeles, so he resolutely and obediently instigated back the righteous gentleman.
