In the later part of Johnny Carson's career, he especially liked to use harsh words to ridicule political and business celebrities, or make up jokes to take revenge, which offended many people, so as soon as he left the TV screen, he was immediately dug up a lot of black material.

As a well-known popular talk show host, he can make a lot of money, but driven by his arrogant personality, his investment is extremely irrational.

In the seventies, he was fooled by DeLoreen, the youngest executive of General Motors at the time, to invest in DMC cars, in the case of the local automobile giants in the United States were beaten by the book and wailed, he and DeLorean and another friend raised a total of 80 million dollars, 75 years of the company opened against the market, 78 years only to get the British government 120 million dollars subsidy in the Republican Army rampant activities in Northern Ireland to build a factory, 81 years of production, 82 years of bankruptcy, a total of more than 200 million dollars burned, only more than 9,000 cars were produced......

He also invested in a large fast-food chain, which also ended in bankruptcy.

After losing the competition with gambling tycoon Wayne Newton in Las Vegas in the '80s, he was angry and disgusted with his own show, but fortunately he was an extremely well-known public figure, otherwise he would have been dumped somewhere in the Nevada desert.

In his media business, he used to own two television stations, one was the predecessor of the current Fox 5, which was sold in '85 and the other in '86, but was able to retain a small stake. There are also some radio stations that are currently selling out.

There are even more small failed investments such as buying the adaptation rights of the cat and mouse game, and the only project that makes money is his personal clothing brand of the same name, specializing in turtlenecks, but that is also because he has been wearing goods for a long time in the show, relying on his personal influence to drive the people of the United States to follow suit.

"I'm fine."

Of course, a character of his kind would not 'humiliate' come to Song Ya, but 'took the initiative' to make a phone call and asked Song Ya to be a guest at his mansion in Bamberke, California.

"It's just that everybody can't stand me anymore, including NBC."

He could see clearly that at the other end of the long dining table, the handsome white man with a smile on his face was a little self-aware, and laughed at himself while dealing with the steak on the plate, "The physical reason is just a decent thing they give me, so it will save a lot of trouble." ”

"I remember nine...... Ninety-two? I was so excited that I couldn't sleep when I first learned that I was going to be on your show. Song Ya complimented.

"I've worked with you?" After all, he was almost seventy years old, and Johnny Carson had a blank look on his face.

"I was unlucky that Jay Leno was acting for you." Song Ya said.

"Oh......"

The two chatted for a few words, and he asked Song Ya for the latest version of the script of the cat and mouse game, so he put on reading glasses and read it at the dinner table.

"How did you know I wanted to restart this project?" Song Ya took the opportunity to inquire.

"A friend told me."

He didn't call a source, "The young actors' agents all think this is an opportunity, Abagnell's experience is legendary, and getting this kind of high-IQ single male lead role will be very beneficial to their career development, huh?" You changed him to a double male lead? ”

"It's not like that, it's just that the role of the second male of the FBI agent has been greatly improved, and high-IQ liars also need high-IQ opponents, right?" Song Ya asked rhetorically.

"It's okay, I still prefer the first version of the script that I just got the adaptation rights to."

He showed a look of nostalgia, "At that time, I was very passionate about creation, and I didn't sleep all night long, just to write a good story of a legendary liar......"

Nagging and babbling a lot, "But it's okay, after all, it's really not good to present a perfect liar character in a movie, did you get that Abagnel?" ”

"I haven't contacted him yet." Song Ya replied.

"Ha, that guy will definitely take another amount of money from you." Johnny Carson laughed.

"I'm mentally prepared."

Song Ya knows that this is unavoidable, although the adaptation rights belong to Hollywood Pictures, but it is not good for the original author to jump out and make trouble when the movie is announced, after all, it is rare to have a project like Forrest Gump that falls out with the original author and still gets a big hit, and it is more common for Hollywood to fall into a scolding war with the original author, and then the wind direction is deviated, and the box office suffers.

"Well, that guy knows the art of trading, and he won't lie to you too much." Johnny Carson closed the script, "I want to invest in this play. ”

"Welcome." Song Ya smiled.

"Uh......"

The old man seemed to be expected that Song Ya agreed so readily, "You don't really think I'm the kind of blind investor that the outside world says, right?" If you're trying to cheat me on my money, I'm going to say you're wrong......"

"Me? Haha, I'm just a newcomer to Hollywood. ”

Song Ya smiled: "I'm afraid I don't know anything about Hollywood yet, listen to Yeremov, your personal relationship with Mr. Roy Disney is very good, right?"

"Of course, I've done the Disney family a lot." The old man replied triumphantly.

Red to his extent, it is difficult to go bankrupt, after all, he just invests indiscriminately, but his methods are not aggressive, and he can obediently admit losses and leave the market if he loses, and never engage in the kind of high-value loans and high leverage.

Before coming to Banbock, Song Ya knew that even if this old man almost tossed hundreds of millions of dollars, he was still free enough to rely on the royalties from the books published in his early years, and there were three points of nails in the rotten ship, and he was not very poor and luxurious in life, and now he is at least a multimillionaire. As one of the highest-rated TV presenters in the seventies and eighties, he was even able to influence the hearts and minds of the people of the United States at that time, which must have been accompanied by the public relations behavior of various political and commercial forces all year round.

"I want the power to change the script."

However, the old man may be very satisfied with Song Ya's respectful attitude, and immediately began to behave as a demon.

"Well, I'll take your revisions into consideration." Song Ya declined.

"Playing word games with me? Brat...... I'll ...... you before you even appear in this world."

"Mr. Carson, I'm good at investing, you can trust me." Song Ya interrupted him with a smile.

"Hah! Is it a pig on the tuyere? ”

The old man was a little embarrassed by his gaze, and when it came to investment, it was an eternal pain in his heart, "Go and sit there." ”

The two of them ended the discussion by leaving the dinner table.

"Pay attention to your body, the doctor told you not to read for a long time."

His fourth wife came over and snatched the script from his hand and put it on the table, not very good. Because of the previous divorce lawsuit, he now has to bear the living expenses of an ex-wife of 6,000 dollars per month, and the other ex-wife took 20 million dollars in divorce compensation from him.

"It's okay dear, I don't look at it, you continue to say APLUS."

"I'm worried about the release, you know, the distributors in Hollywood really hate it."

Song Yala's main purpose in entering the game is to use his personal relationship with Roy Disney, as well as his residual influence in the media, to have a rare intersection with this kind of old media person who has begun to live a retired life, and this opportunity must be seized.

"I know, I know, I'll talk to Roy about this." He nodded.

The two fell silent, and when his wife left, he asked again: "I can still make up jokes, and I have saved a lot after I retire, which can be added to the script." ”

"Joke...... Well, I don't have an opinion in principle, as long as the joke is good enough. Song Ya knew that he had now fallen into the remembrance and unwillingness of his hosting career, and did not refuse again.

Then the two stopped talking again.

The old man thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "APLUS, how did you do that when you got 100 million from Dow?" ”

"That's it...... Just sell the factory under my name to them......"

Song Ya was a little uncomfortable with the old man's straight thief eyes, "Actually, I don't necessarily earn it, do you know the popular glow stick support method over there in the book?" It's a big market. ”

"Did Dow use any tricks against you?" The old man asked.

"Uh, of course, some."

"I knew it, I knew it!" The old man slammed down the armrest of the sofa, "They are not honest, they are very dishonest, they were ...... during the Agent Orange incident."

Halfway through speaking, he stopped in time, and then he had nothing to talk about.

"How much would you probably pitch in a cat-and-mouse project?" Song Ya broke the silence.

"I haven't figured it out yet."

The old man cautiously glanced in the direction his wife had left, "You talk to my lawyer, and we will keep in touch through him." ”
