Arriving in Washington, D.C., the group first made a public trip to the Washington branch of the Inner City Broadcasting Company, where the inner-city broadcaster's most profitable radio station was located, and the managers and other executives were dissatisfied with Sutton and his sons, believing that they had been transfusing blood to subsidize other loss-making businesses within the company.

But at the same time, they are arrogant in the political center of the country, and they are not in favor of accepting the investment of young singers, so Song Ya leads people to a not-so-pleasant meeting, and then plans to quietly part ways in the parking lot, with Sloan taking Alicia to Capitol Hill to meet Underwood, and he himself to BET's headquarters in Washington, D.C., to attract the attention of reporters.

"At the door of the radio station when you came, there was a big man among the reporters who interviewed you, did you notice?"

Before leaving, Ms. Sloane said in thought.

"The big man among journalists? Sorry, I don't know much about this line. Song Ya looked at her blankly.

"Don't understand? Haven't you and Zoe Barnes, a political reporter for the Chicago Tribune, always worked well together? Sloan asked.

"Except for Zoe Barnes. We've known each other for a long time, and he worked together when he was covering small news about life. ”

Song Ya also had to hide it from his political advisers, "Let's go back to your question just now, what's wrong?" ”

"The person who asked you about the Vic case was the deputy of the New York Times correspondent in the White House." "We have to be wary of cases being noticed by this level of media and journalists," Sloan said. ”

New York Times is almost the most authoritative paper media in the United States, with great influence, and the reporters in the White House are generally one of the people with the largest power to speak about political content within the media, Song Ya frowned, "I remember, New York Times once wanted to do a special issue of Sinaloa, and tried to interview Little Lowry, who was still alive at the time." ”

"Be careful." Alicia was nervous too.

Song Ya looked at Sloane, "Is there any way to influence ......?"

"Affect New York Times? It's hard to ......," Sloane shook his head, "they wouldn't be the authority if they were so susceptible, but ......"

"But what?" Song Ya asked.

Sloan glanced at Alicia.

"Uh...... You talk. Alicia walked away a little awkwardly.

"Someone in Los Angeles has a huge influence on the New York Times, and you've been working together lately." Sloan said.

"Who? Oh, I see......" Song Ya recalled, "Johnny Carson, right?" ”

"He? No, ......," Sloan laughed, "the talk show host couldn't help New York when he was at his most popular, at most the two sides maintained a tacit understanding in some unimportant areas, not to mention that he is retired now." I'm referring to Harvey, Harvey Weinstein. ”

"The old color?" Song Ya really didn't know that Harvey was so good outside of Hollywood.

"Yes, his personal lawyer is also the head of the legal department at New York Times, and maybe you can ask Harvey to help him." Sloan proposed.

"We don't really have a lot of friendship......"

"She likes beautiful women, everyone knows it." Sloan winked suggestively.

"Alas! That kind of deed......"

"Don't sigh, I know a lot of girls don't mind sitting on Harvey's red couch." Sloane laughed.

Song Ya knew that this was not wrong, "Okay, I'll find a chance to talk to Harvey, you've expanded my horizons a lot, Ms. Sloane, thank you." ”

"Collect money and do things."

After getting into the car and leaving, Song Ya quickly appeared at the door of the BET headquarters, and was blocked by reporters for a while, this time mostly about the rumors of his cooperation with the inner city broadcaster.

"We've been in contact, I've just come over at the inner-city radio company Washington Radio, but it's too early to talk about all this, sorry, sorry......"

Song Ya coped with it without leaks, and went to the screening room of their newly established entertainment company under the leadership of BET's top management.

“APLUS！ Hehe, I haven't seen the lad in a while. ”

The well-known African-American film critics Elvis Mitchell and Yeremov, as well as the director of 'How do I stop this?' have arrived, and the script has been made into a movie, and the old man is happy, even if it is a small budget production, and it certainly does not appear to be in theaters at the moment.

"Have you seen the 'How do I stop this?' movie?" Elvis Mitchell asked.

"Not at all." Song Ya replied honestly.

"I feel a little rough." Elvis Mitchell took the opportunity to say: "The picture is too TV-like. ”

"Uh...... The film hasn't been graded yet. The young black director explained.

"I'll take a look first." Song Ya smiled and walked into the screening room under the leadership of BET Entertainment's senior management.

"I thought the director was going to be Gary Gray." Elvis Mitchell and Song Ya sat together, and whispered while BET's review team was pulling the curtains: "His 'Friday' was released at the end of last month, and the box office is very good, and the cost of 3.5 million is expected to get more than 20 million at the box office." ”

He was not satisfied with the film's director, Yeremov once made a small report, "I know that Escuber has an investment, he has been successful in Hollywood, and the school clash he participated in in January also did well at the box office." ”

Song Ya nodded, this movie was originally intended to be filmed by the old relationship Gary Gray, but the cutting-edge black director is now worth a lot more than it used to be, only with less qualifications, but this choice is like gambling, the probability of losing is higher, the director selected by Yeremov is not good, and to be honest, Elvis Mitchell's own script foundation is not good, and the distributor can't look down on it and can't be in theaters, so he has to come to the TV station to find an opportunity.

"yes, Jennifer Connelly in the school conflict, tsk, it's really beautiful." Elvis Mitchell sighed repeatedly.

"Her most beautiful period was still in the past of the United States." Song Ya said.

"Of course, white chicks are the best looking at that time period."

The two chatted casually, and the words A+ Film Studio appeared on the screen of the screening room, and the subtitles of the other cast and crew had not yet been made, so they started the plot directly.

Elvis Mitchell's script is a reference to the 'purple' directed by Spielberg, produced by Quincy Jones, starring Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah, and received eleven Oscar nominations, family, women's rights and racial issues, which are basically the main themes of this type of movie.

In order to save money, most of the time in the movie is indoor scenes, and there are not many scenes, Jamie Fox's male protagonist is a street gangster, Taraghi plays his wife who was abused by him, and then the story revolves around her road to self-independence, several quarrels between the two, tearing performances and conflicts are not bad, the others are very mediocre, the editing is also very average, and there is no post-grading...... If you can't get into the theater, you should be.

"Sorry......"

Halfway through the silent sighting, a person came in in the dark, "How is it?" "It turned out to be BET boss Johnson, who asked the head of the judging team.

The person in charge began to whisper to him.

"APLUS, COME OUT AND TALK?" As a big boss, he didn't have time to watch the whole film, so he called Song Ya out after listening to the report of his subordinates.

"How? Some of the post-production work of our film has not yet been completed, and the actual result will be much better than it is now. ”

Mosquito meat is also meat, and Song Ya sold him: "This type of film can be played on BET is the most suitable." ”

In fact, if no buyer is found for this kind of movie, many of them simply give up on themselves and do not do post-production, and they can save a lot of money by stuffing them directly into the warehouse.

"I don't ask too much about these little things."

With BET becoming the 21st cable channel in Quanmi, the market value of BET shares owned by Johnson is 500 million meters, and the current value is still stable, "You know what I care about, APLUS." ”

"I know, I did talk to the inner city broadcaster, but the result is not easy to say, even if I invest in that company, I don't feel like I can threaten your BET ......"

Song Yazheng explained, at the end of the corridor outside the screening room, his ace host Gordon appeared, he obviously didn't expect to meet his boss here, but he was already seen by the two of them and couldn't shrink back, so he had to step forward, "Mr. Johnson, APLUS, it turns out that you are all here." ”

"You're here to find APLUS, right?" Johnson didn't know if he could see that he was plotting to run away, and asked with a smile.

"Yes, I'll come over to say hello and make an appointment for an interview by the way." Gordon said.

"In what aspect?" Song Ya asked.

"Well, a couple of your projects in Hollywood, including this How Do I Do ...... How to ......"

"How to end this." Johnson said.

"Yes, then you can talk first, I'll come back later." Gordon was a little embarrassed, and was about to turn and walk back, when a woman shouted angrily from the other end of the hallway, "Didn't expect that!?" I've got you guys here! ”

It was Hallie's voice, Song Yaya was familiar with it, I don't know why she was so angry again, and subconsciously raised her feet and slipped into the screening room.

As one of the best-developed black actresses in Hollywood, she has long been surrounded by many people around her, but in the past she was very careful never to show them in front of her, this time it seems to be a little different.

Still habitually wearing a leather jacket and jacket, and the short-haired and heroic Harley, who was also stunned when she saw Song Ya, she pushed the door and entered the next door.

Wasn't it looking for yourself......

Song Ya and Johnson glanced at each other, and the two followed.

The film next door is also being reviewed, the same rough TV movie, Harley and they grab a couple of old men, "M-Fxxk a bunch of European liars!" Lose my energy, lose my time! She scolded like a shrew.

"What's wrong?"

Someone opened the curtains of the room, and Song Ya saw a form that had fallen during the tearing, and the words 'Solomon and Queen Sheba, judging and scoring' were written on his head.

"Hallie, what's wrong? Didn't you say it's an epic blockbuster? ”

Song Ya looked at the screen, there was a big fart, there were dozens of people on one side of the picture, two groups of people were wearing ancient costumes and playing with cold weapons, and the film party seemed to be the same as himself, he wanted to sell this movie with black elements to BET as a TV movie.

"They lied to me! I lowered my salary and made a bad movie like this that can't even be released in theaters! Harley exclaimed, "APLUS! Come and help me beat them up! ”

"I'm sorry Miss Berry, we didn't mean to, the later stage of the war scene was too expensive, and the capital chain was broken again." The old man, who was staggering to the ground, explained in non-standard English.

"Enough!" Johnson couldn't stand it anymore, "Halle Berry, don't make trouble on my TV station, even if you're the hottest black movie star!" ”

"Alright, Hallie, calm down, calm down."

Song Ya was afraid that Harley would offend the black media tycoon by being impulsive, so she ran over to stop her waist and hugged her, "That's the case, this kind of war film needs a lot of post-production special effects, and not everyone can afford to burn it." ”

Harley shouldn't have recognized Johnson just now, but now she finally found out that the big boss of BET was also there, so she cleverly took advantage of the situation and didn't make a fuss, and her head rested on Song Ya's shoulder and cried, "I only took this film this year, and I specially went to Ethiopia to experience life for this film...... You know, I did a lot of preparation to play the Queen of Sheba, almost set aside the entire year's schedule, and they lied to me that I was doing post-production special effects, and asked me to continue to help hype up the heat, damn it, a bunch of bastards! Swindler! ”

"Okay, okay, you know that's what Hollywood is all about." Song Ya stroked her hair comfortingly.

"I chose to trust European producers because I knew......"

"Europe, that's the birthplace of movies, little fool......"
