Chapter 744: Magnificent Masterpieces
Underwood is having a hard time right now, and although he has recently entered a powerful committee in the House of Representatives and the Donkey Party, and is undoubtedly on the rise of his career, he is physically and mentally exhausted by the telecommunications bill, and there are many lawmakers like Wrangel who see the opportunity to ask for a price, and it may be easy to deal with this little trouble himself.
In short, the politician's top priority is to campaign, and he has no intention of focusing too much on next year's re-election campaign, let alone expanding new sponsors, and he must borrow more from his election funds.
So the conversation between the two was about Chicago's own U.S. House of Representatives constituency, "I know you're going to have a heavy burden next year." On Gore's side, on the current commander's side, and perhaps on Wrangel's side, David Patterson...... Add Michelle's husband in the Hyde Park constituency, he's your teacher at the University of Chicago, right? ”
"Of course, don't forget that I also have Russell Ha, who is running for the U.S. House this year," Underwood said. ”
"The money from the two charitable foundations, Aunt Susie and Love Where, is definitely not enough."
The political alliance between the two men has been difficult to separate after the Vic case, and Song Ya is not crooked, "but I will soon have the Inner City Broadcasting Company, through which my election donations to African-American politicians can be spent, and the Sutton father and son are happy to help me with this, and that's what they do." ”
Song Ya frowned, "You and I are already ready, the donations will be credited to your campaign office account and Clark's foundation in batches, as for Russell's drunkard......"
"He's still very popular with workers in his new constituency." Underwood gave Russell a new constituency in Chicago with a heavy industry labor precinct, and he will not be elected in the Barn Chemical constituency next year, which is very supportive.
"But the workers at Barn Chemical will pass on what he has done."
With the real estate development around the Barnes fluorescent agent factory, the new parliamentarians elected by middle-class residents next year are likely to push for the closure of the factory, and Russell will definitely be regarded as a traitor who escaped from the workers. Mr. Underwood? ”
"I insist, Russell is my man."
Underwood responded, "Dow's glowstick business is mediocre, and if they were to be shut down by local politicians, they would have suffered heavy losses, aren't you the spokesperson for his product?" ”
"I know, I'll communicate with Dow, but don't rely too much on my energy, you just said that Dow's glowstick business is average, they spent more than 100 million yuan to take over the factory from me and Northern Trust, and then invested heavily in Detroit to expand production...... The vice president who is leading the matter is also old, and I heard that Dow's board of directors is interested in retiring him in the near future......"
Song Ya heard that he was hinting that he was asking Dow for help, and there was nothing to hide in this regard, so he told the truth that Dow's light stick business was squeezed by the products of the book, and the vice president who shouted in the ward that he was an 'old-school capitalist' was about to be ousted by the real capitalist......
"Alas! Anyway you do your best? I'll help Russell figure out the rest. Underwood sighed.
"Of course I will, you can rest assured."
The trip to New York and Washington was a great success, with the black celebrity circle in Manhattan 'ascending to the throne', and then walking around the White House with his wife, talking and laughing with the commander-in-chief, these two long-faced things made Mariah Carey proud, "Shoe do do do do do do yes, Fantasy ......" humming her new album song on the plane back to Los Angeles.
"Title song?" Song Ya put his arm around her and asked, "What's the name of the song?" ”
"Well, it's called Fantasy, and I'll direct the MV myself when it's the first song on the album." She swaggered.
"Wow, I see if you're swollen or inflated......" Song Ya reached into her waist and tickled.
"Didn't I spend the last few months in Hollywood?" She struggled.
"Oh, I thought you were all focused on the party."
"Parties are also a way to expand your network...... What about you? Have you filmed the MV for your new album? ”
"Well, I've taken some of it, and I'll take the time to shoot it when I go back to school and go to class......" Song Ya immediately felt weak, and her hands began to play tricks to divert her attention.
"Nasty, don't move."
The two started again, Linda in the front row looked at each other helplessly and the female assistant and then put on the earplugs tacitly, Linda looked at Old Mike again, the old man was already snoring with an eyepatch.
"Where to [fo]?"
After getting off the plane, the lengthened Lincoln did not drive towards Malibu, Song Ya asked curiously.
"You forgot? Premiere of Future Water World tonight. She said.
"But we don't have to go to the premiere......"
"I want to see it, I didn't see it last time."
"Okay."
Her female assistant had already contacted the chartered venue, and the two rushed to the cinema and began to enjoy it.
Overall, this is an old Australian film 'Mad Max' wasteland style ocean remake, in the Cold War, the Western world is always worried about the nuclear destruction of the CCCP, and a large number of movies have been born that explore how human beings should continue to survive in the new environment after the nuclear apocalypse, and the Mad Max series made Mel Gibson popular all the way from Australia to Hollywood.
Now that the CCCP is gone, the Cold War is gone, and the world has encountered a new hot topic: global warming, saying that the polar glaciers are melting, and the whole world is plunged into the ocean, and then according to this setting, the overall ecology of people in this environment in the future is outlined.
The protagonist and director, and the Oscar winner for Best Actor and Best Director, Kevin Costner plays a mutant with long cheeks behind his ears in order to adapt to the new environment, he is a lone ranger, but in fact, the character is completely a futuristic sci-fi version of the western cowboy, changing the soup without changing the medicine.
The production cost of 170 million is ah, Song Ya saw the endless ocean in the first ten minutes, as well as the dirty boats and human cities on the sea.
"The heroine is not very beautiful." Mariah Carey whispered.
The heroine is Janet Rip Horn, Song Ya knows that her modern outfit is sexy and seductive, but in order to comply with the survival logic of the wasteland, she has become a sloppy woman who has been tanned on the sea, and her appearance has been greatly lowered.
"Poof!"
The key to the plot, the mysterious map on a little girl's back made the Coke in Song Ya's mouth almost not squirt out, and the crooked Chinese character 'latitude and longitude' was dismantled into a ghost painting symbol, which is probably the same in the eyes of Westerners these days, how should I complain?
Besides......
The two of them honestly and attentively watched it, okay, the plot of more than two hours is generally compact, which can be watched by people.
The bones of a western hero film, the skin of a wasteland, a blockbuster within the Hollywood level, that's all.
Song Ya feels that letting Linton be in charge of producing the film within 50 million can definitely be done, even if Kevin Costner's super high double salary is added, it will not exceed 80 million, and Szeinberg simply tossed the production cost to 170 million, which is 170 million, plus the publicity cost is far more than that, it is really cunning for him to resign gracefully before the release of the movie.
If he gave Spielberg 170 million, he could give Universal a Super Jurassic Park, but Kevin Costner ......
"emmm......" Mariah Carey looked at the end credits, "Will Kevin's film be a success?" ”
Succeed? With a production cost of 170 million plus publicity, how much box office do you have to sell to recoup your cost? At least 400 million, right? This magnificent global masterpiece Song Ya can't see the ...... of the 400 million box office
"I feel like I'm going to lose money, but my vision for watching the film is not necessarily accurate." He replied matter-of-factly.
"Kevin is the one who can take Whitney to the Houston box office."
It turned out that Lao Xin was thinking about this, "I also said that I will have the opportunity to cooperate with him in the future, and when I open a new project after the release of Xingmeng Tears." ”
"You shoot this honestly first, don't let the crew wait, what they burn on paid leave is ours, uh, your money ......"
