Priests belong to another system, and there are huge differences within Christianity. To put it simply, the Baptist Church is a congregational system, and the power to replace Allison is in the hands of a council of the local diocesan federation, which is represented partly by the top of the church, partly by large charitable organizations, descendants of early important donors, representatives of local believers, and so on.

"I'll help, but it's not convenient to support it openly, at most let Aunt Susie come forward."

Song Ya was a little slapped in the face, so he reconfirmed, "William, do you really want to do this?" ”

"Of course, I think it's an opportunity, you know Ari, my parish is small......" William took the opportunity to nag.

Even within the same church, there is a huge difference in hidden income between pastors, such as Allison, who has a huge influence, after many years of reasonable operation, his net worth looks mediocre, but his daily life is not much worse than that of the rich in Chicago, being in the poorest parish parish in Chicago, and even having a 'summer house' dedicated to him, which is actually another word for a vacation home.

Of course, as long as it is not the kind of cult whose main purpose is to accumulate money, most priests are poor, and their income is completely incomparable to that of rich and politicians of equal social influence, such as William.

"Okay, then Eli will help you."

Song Ya instinctively wasn't interested in this kind of trick, and he didn't want to go deeper, so he endured listening to William's complaints, "Do you have a plan?" Asked Eli instead.

"Not yet, but this kind of thing hasn't happened before, and it's time for blood exchange."

Eli communicated with Peter before he came, and it must have been Peter's intention to get rid of Allison, the pastor who controls the votes can blackmail politicians, and politicians naturally have countermeasures, just look at whether the cost of using it is cost-effective, and the United States has been campaigning for so many years, and there is nothing new.

"Then you can do it, if you need anything, you can come to me, no, discuss it with Goodman first, and I will greet him."

Dumping the matter to his lawyer, Song Ya also threw away his hand, Eli and William immediately got together to plot a 'rebellion', it is estimated that it is still too early to start the implementation, and he will only need to pay for the play at that time.

After a brief break in Chicago, he reappeared in Malibu, Los Angeles the next night, this time not at his own home, but at David Geffen's mansion there.

DreamWorks took off, and the Big Three and Microsoft shareholder Paul Allen officially negotiated a partnership, and Paul Allen generously injected 550 million yuan to help DreamWorks establish a global distribution system, agreeing to produce at least nine films a year. These nine movies are definitely not low, and it is absolutely not okay to fool around with bad movies, but the details of the cooperation have not been disclosed by either side.

DreamWorks also received 300 million meters from CJ Entertainment, a member of the Lee family of the Silla wealthy family, and sold her the film agency rights in Asia other than the book.

"These three guys only took out more than 30 million dollars of start-up capital, and so far there has not been a single movie!"

Song Ya's envy, jealousy and hatred used a wine glass as a cover in the star-studded dinner, and quietly complained to his wife who was holding his arm.

"Everybody's on Spielberg's sake."

Mariah Carey's party in Hollywood in the past few months has not been in vain, and the news is quite well-informed, "I heard that the Li family is ...... It's that the person who owns Samsung bids more than his relatives, 500 million, but Spielberg doesn't like him, and thinks he always likes to talk about semiconductors when negotiating. ”

"Lee Kun-hee?"

Song Ya sneered, "Hollywood always likes to use Asian nouveau riche to set off its own style, who knows if this kind of joke is true or false, the Jews don't take only 300 million if they put 500 million?" I don't believe it at all. ”

"Ahh

Mariah Carey put her elbow on his waist, "David, congratulations." She saw from afar that her agent, Sandy Glenn, had brought David Geffen over.

"Oh, you're a natural pair."

David Geffen was in a good mood, he was already a little drunk, and when he came up, he opened his arms and hugged the two of them, "It's a pleasure to see you." ”

"Congratulations, Mr. Geffen."

This guy is really lucky, originally after selling Geffen Records, his interests and influence have been squeezed out by MJ over the years, with the change of ownership of the entire Universal, the influence on Universal's MCA records has also been greatly weakened, plus the development of Geffen Films is not going well, and the frustration of the vampire at the Oscar was publicly accused by the most popular actor Liang Tang, and his career is about to go downhill, Unexpectedly, he and Spielberg and Katzenberg jointly created the dream factory that the outside world judged to be the most likely to squeeze into Hollywood's top distribution companies, and became one of the Big Three.

Song Yaxuan said nicely, "Your new company will bring Hollywood back to the pattern of the Big Eight, right?" ”

"I hope so, that's what Paul expects, and there is no way back."

David Geffen laughed.

This guy likes to party so much, but he protects his close relationship with the big money owner very well, before the news that DreamWorks was invested, Song Ya had never seen Paul Allen at a party here, not even now, and no one from the Silla Lee family......

"What about your film project? How's it going? ”

After this big business, David Geffen finally had the leisure to care about something else, "How about you hand over the distribution to us?" ”

"Mrs. Song's Star Dream Tear Stain has been negotiated with Twentieth Century Fox for release, and there is a bit of drama on APLUS's side, right?" Sandy Glenn helps beat the side drums.

"My cat-and-mouse game has also been handed over to Disney's Broadway Pictures for distribution."

Song Ya shook her head apologetically, "Dance out of the sequel of my life in the world, you also have an investment, have you forgotten?" Mr. Geffen ......"

He noticed that Sandy Glenn was winking at him, and halfway through speaking, his wife's agent was taking the opportunity to show favor to him, "There is only one 'how do I stop this?', a small-budget movie, and I haven't found a distributor yet." ”

"Oh yes, I forgot to invest in that sequel."

David Geffen slapped his head, "What's the deal with your unreleased movie?" Was it just made? ”

"Well, it's been sent to chain video tape rentals and various TV stations for review, but there is no ...... "A bad movie, Song Ya herself is not too embarrassed."

"Ha, I see."

David Geffen certainly understands what it means to have a movie that doesn't even want those places, but who told him to be in a good mood right now, "No problem, let your people send the film to the screening room at DreamWorks, we need a stock of sources right now." ”

"OK, thanks Mr. Geffen." Song Ya clinks glasses with him.

"Come with me, go and say hi to Steven and Jeffrey."

David Geffen began to work again, affectionately holding Song Ya's waist, and was about to take him to other places.

He had no choice but to look at his wife for help.

"Then Sandy and I will go over there......" Mariah Carey smiled evilly and waved her hand, and parted ways to go to her own social circle.

"Ha, my little Leonardo......"

Song Ya had to be half-pushed by him to meet the other two DreamWorks giants, and happened to meet Xiao Lizi on the way, David Geffen reached out and pinched the blonde man's face, and twisted it twice before letting go, "I heard that you are not going well this year?" ”

"Yes, the two films in the first half of the year, Basketball Diary and Fatal Pleasure did not do very well at the box office."

Xiao Lizi could only smile and let him rub the oil, and his agent followed him with a wry smile on his face, "Mr. Geffin, Mr. APLUS......"

Xiao Lizi memorized words in the first half of the year, the box office of the basketball diary was only 2.4 million, and the shooting plot in the school was also greatly criticized, and the fatal pleasure cost of 35 million production and 18 million box office gave the popular actress Sharon Stone a heavy blow.

"It's okay, there are still two movies to be released in the second half of the year, right?" Song Ya knew the other party's filming plan very well, and at the same time was glad that he did not continue to invest in him as a person as indicated by the apocalypse, otherwise he would be the one who lost money.

"Yes, Eclipse Maniac and Marven's room." Xiao Lizi glanced at David Gefen's hand around Song Ya's waist, and his face turned even paler.

"Hey, you're going to play my cat-and-mouse game." Song Ya smiled and pressed her mind to watch the joke.

"Leonardo and Fox's Titanic project are being film......ed," his agent helped to shirk it.

"I know, it's okay, there will be a chance to work together again in the future?"

"Okay, no problem."

"In the twentieth century, Fox was not in a good position, Murdoch's media empire was expanding too fast, and it was in trouble in Britain and Australia, where it started. David Geffen, who had just received a huge investment in the IT industry, gloated, "Wait a minute, Steve wants to talk to you about DTS, I heard that you are suggesting to switch to listing on the Chicago Stock Exchange?" ”

"This suggestion is just a solution that my subordinates have proposed."

Song Ya has nothing to hide, Katzenberg has already cleared his DTS shares, David Geffen still has a little bit in his hands, and he doesn't have to care about it now, only Spielberg still holds a lot, more than himself.

"APLUS, YOU'VE JUST COME AT THE RIGHT TIME."

Steve Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg are both there, the two are not as excited as David Geffen, Spielberg himself already has Amperin Entertainment, a joint venture with Universal, and now he has used DreamWorks to enter the distribution field and compete with the other seven head-to-head competition for the world's most prestigious and best-grossing directors who are currently in the world, and Katzenberg, who is responsible for the specific operation of DreamWorks, must be under great pressure and cannot be relaxed.

"DTS ......"

The intersection between the two sides is only DTS, and Spielberg basically doesn't talk much about anything else every time he sees him, "I heard that September is the key deadline for who will win the DVD camp or the SD camp?" ”

"That's what Terry Bild said." Song Ya nodded, "Wall Street investors have agreed with Terry Bilder's suggestion to postpone the listing date until October, and wait for the results to come out in September before making a decision." ”

"I know that, what do you think the outcome will be?" Spielberg asked.

"Well, it's hard to say, the good news is that Warner will help us, the current industry generally thinks that the alliance of Sony plus Philips is a bit too strong, maybe everyone will balance them and something like that." Song Ya said on the matter.

"What if the SD camp loses completely?" Spielberg asked.

"Then DTS may go bankrupt due to the failure of the listing, and at least the valuation will be greatly reduced."

Song Ya replied that he had suggested speeding up the listing, but since everyone had agreed before, he would not take the initiative to take this responsibility.

"I see, Catherine doesn't want to follow up on this anymore, I'll send one of my investment managers to take full responsibility, and that ...... over there"

Spielberg couldn't remember Dile's name for a moment, and Songya told him.

"APLUS, your A+ Pictures has a new option in the field of film distribution and investment." Katzenberg reminded after the two of them finished talking.

"Yes, I'm looking forward to working with DreamWorks."
