Chicago 1990

"Rashida, you..."

Quincy Jones’s old thing was encouraged by his baby daughter to “help yourself” to acquire Warner Records. They worked hard to help themselves from the perspective of their father and daughter, but they might add chaos from their own perspective, but subjectively, it must be a good intention, so The old thing will think it has been played and get angry this time.

Song Ya lowered his head and looked at Rashida, who was still diligent and diligent.

After all, she has been licking herself sincerely for so many years, and her obedience has been tested for a long time. Her heart is not made of iron. Let's give some compensation, "Do you have any plans for the future?"

"what?"

Rashida took the opportunity to rest her already a little bit grief, and then wiped the corners of her mouth with the back of her hand blankly, "What's the plan?"

"The ratings of the hip-hop contest are not good, what do you want to do next? Acting in a movie? Stay on the ACE station and continue to work?"

Song Ya asked: "Or to Warner Music?"

"I want to be your girlfriend..."

Rashida said pitifully, blinking her watery eyes.

"That won't work."

Song Ya put the thing away and zipped up the zipper so that she didn't lick it, and shook her pointed chin, "Goodbye, say something else."

"Uuuuu..."

"Don't cry, come here."

"Oh."

"Seriously, Doug Morris is old after all. He needs a senior assistant." Song Ya hugged her for advice.

"I don't want to go to the recording industry, then everything has to start again..."

Rashida naturally also considered the future of her career, "I want to be an anchor for more serious shows on station A. It is best to have some free personal time. Of course it is good to have a movie." She also has a big screen dream. After talking, he laughed and stuck out his tongue unscrupulously.

"It's a bit too much, girl..."

News channel anchors have a carrot and a pit. Except for McAvoy and Jones Stewart, the two leading stars, the other anchors of station A will have to go through fierce competition. Rashida's requirement of being a little bit different is not very good. Yes, but Song Ya still decided to do it, "Well, I'll take the time to call Ms. Sloan."

He smiled and asked, "Ms. Sloan likes you very much. Actually, it's not bad that you become the assistant to the CEO of Litman Media."

"I don't like doing administrative work." Rashida said.

Well, she is still at an age when she is reluctant to stay away from the camera. Song Ya is kind enough to say, "Maybe you will star in a movie tomorrow."

The heroine of Burst Drummer has no role and does not need good looks and acting skills, but she is still the heroine.

At this time the intercom rang, Song Ya pressed it down casually, "Mr. Daniel Glass is looking for you." The secretary's voice came.

"call!"

Daniel, like Quincy Jones, found nothing for the time being. Song Ya looked at the time and said, "Let him go to Beverly Hills and wait for me, Amy's."

The acquisition of Warner Records broke the ceiling. Song Ya expected it to have a great impact, but it was still more fierce than expected. Once the layoff plan was announced, the U.S. Records industry and the outside world had a huge shock, and the noise was even worse than the merger of the two giants Sony Columbia Records and BMG. Big.

No party was arranged, nor did he see the superstars such as Madonna under Warner's. Song Ya didn't even plan to meet the new president L.A.Reid, and left it to Doug Morris to deal with it. He left after finishing and went back to Chicago as soon as possible to hide quietly.

"Jiantang was so funny on Oprah's talk show, what did he think? A big man in his forties was bouncing on the sofa."

Amy's house is seldom used for parties, but it is not an obstacle to Daniel. Song Ya had touched the door when he returned, and was gossiping with Hayden, Yeremov, Doug Morris and others.

"Maybe I want to show his youthful mentality. It's like this when he is discredited by public opinion." Hayden guessed, "He should be more cautious. Oprah and Harvey are very close, and his ex-wife..."

Oprah turned the soup overcast again, not knowing what method she used to induce her to jump on the sofa like a child on her talk show to show her love to her new girlfriend Katie Holmes in public.

It's nothing more than a little dislike of out-of-order behavior. After some hype, Liangtang turned out to be the object of ridicule by Quanmi. In addition, the former agent sent Kingsley reluctantly broke the news to discredit, the style of the top actor was instantly gone, and the loss was heavy. .

"It's also possible that they are trying to please Lei Shidong, who has always wanted to force Liangtang to bow his head."

"Impossible? Directed by Spielberg, the Paramount blockbuster "World War" starring Liangtang is about to start painting. What good will Redstone do if the soup is ruined..."

The people present are all their own, and everyone talks freely.

Amelio, O'Grady, Donna Donna Dubin, Dr. Chen and others in the business community nearby also heard the secrets of Hollywood.

"It's always right to stay away from Oprah anyway."

Song Ya said with a smile when he heard a tail point when he entered the door.

"Hahaha!"

The participation of the Black Pharaoh seemed to make the matter more interesting. Everyone laughed and said hello to ‘BOSS, APLUS, Mr. APLUS’.

"A few more days to stay in Los Angeles?" Song Yaxian shook hands with his friends in the business world. Most of them had to go back after dealing with Warner. O'Grady said he would leave that night, "Hayden, arrange my private plane."

O'Grady, which had caused serious company losses in the Internet bubble, has been operating this year. On the one hand, the Internet sector has recovered. On the other hand, Northern Trust was passively involved in the Enron incident because it managed the 401K plan of some Enron employees. In, CEO and President William Osborne was found to have mismanaged and violated his fiduciary duties. William Osborn was forced to resign as president, allowing O'Grady to pick up a big wallet.

Of course, the internal affairs of the office struggle of large companies will not be so simple. O'Grady's victory will definitely waste his old nose, and Song Ya has always maintained his support.

"Oh, right."

I felt that Daniel was eager to say something and was looking at him, "While everyone is here." Song Ya deliberately said in public: "When Warner Records layoffs come to an end, I'm going to let it put the Metropolitan Distribution Company and Daniel's Glass Records to an end. It’s all bought, how about it?"

When Doug Morris was the CEO, Daniel knew that he couldn't fight, but he didn't make trouble. L.A. Reid was black. He knew Song Ya needed to have a black face in the top, and he also expressed his understanding, but he always felt resentful with his empty hands.

The Metropolitan Distribution Company has a little share in him, and Warner takes over the Glass Records, which he is increasingly difficult to maintain, and then through two acquisitions, he can be exchanged for a little Warner shares as a director. He should be satisfied.

Sure enough, Daniel's eyes lit up instantly.

"Metropolitan Distribution and Warner Music's global distribution network are complementary, but Glass Records..." Doug Morris shook his head.

"Doug...we have been friends for so many years." Daniel looked at him again.

Doug Morris just shook his head.

When Daniel's gaze returned, Song Ya patted his arm and said, "Let's discuss it." The tycoon hurriedly circled the social circle in style, "You come with me." He called Yeremov to the study alone. .

"Pixar postponed Cars until next year?"

After all, he still cares most about Disney's battles.

"Yes, skipped the ticket to the 2006 summer vacation." Yeremov replied.

"Damn it, this Jobs."

Jobs claimed to have ended his cooperation with Disney after Cars, but now he is playing this hand again, and he has plenty of time to spare.

"Up to now, Jobs has not responded to Eisner's invitation."

Yeremov is responsible for the intelligence collection work on the Hollywood side. Anyway, A+ Entertainment has no big projects. His current main job is to go to major independent film festivals to acquire copyright distribution rights, or buy some small and medium-sized companies and small-cost old films and B-level films. Copyright.

"Well, Xuelin is going to shoot Twilight, what do you think?"

Song Ya asked.

"Youth drama with vampire elements, with beautiful newcomers acting as high school students, the cost of special effects will not exceed 30 million."

It’s good to have a job. Yeremov replied: “That original work is very popular now. Xuelin and I have seen the author several times. She said that she still read the first part of Fifty Shades of Grey, which was written by you. The script's one sparked creative passion! But she has high requirements for casting and screenwriting power, and she is very stubborn. I don't want to agree, but Xuelin...you know, Xuelin loves that book now."

"Yes?"

Song Ya blinked, "Xue Lin is also an old producer, she should understand, you can help monitor the cost, let her go with the rest." Forget it, for projects less than 30 million yuan, she will keep her promise to let Xuelin. Linfen can play with her temper.

"The script you wrote for the first few episodes of the first season of Grey's Intern was shortlisted for this year's Emmy Awards. Are you going to make a splash?"

Yeremov announced his good news again, "If you win the Emmy again, you will have three Oscars, Grammys and Emmys in one, and you are only one step away from EGOT (plus another Tony)."

"Emmm...well, you go to do it, and you need any resources to find me."

Song Ya was moved by this honor and nodded in answer.

"Disney is in a mess now..."

Before leaving, Yeremov said, "It's a mess."

"I know."

Disney is indeed messy now, and Eisner's CEO office has become a quarrel.

"Automobiles suddenly said that tickets were skipped. What should we do with the issuing department? We have invested a lot, and Jobs is playing tricks on us!"

Car Story is released by Walt Disney Animation, but even Hollywood giants cannot have two parallel distribution systems. Bowei Pictures naturally has auxiliary responsibilities. The executive vice president shot His Majesty’s desk bang. Sounds, I simply put you on the bright side in my eyes.

"Jobs used this trick to deliberately prevent the arrival of DreamWorks Animation. It is impossible for Katzenberg to wait until next summer! DreamWorks Studio will be sold to Paramount by Spielberg and David Geffen at the end of the year. Probability! At the end of last year, Katzenberg took the initiative to dismantle the partnership in order to come to Disney, but this year he will be exposed to the ice and snow of minus 57 degrees by two other partners!"

Harvey said loudly, "He can't wait, he can't wait for the animators and special effects artists under his banner. Long-term uncertainty will make DreamWorks Animation unable to retain talent!"

The two shouted at His Majesty the emperor and found that their positions were coincident. They looked at each other and turned their heads. Harvey continued his complaining: "Do you know how it is spread out now? They said that you and Lei Shidong are talking to others. The five big fights cooperated and successfully separated the Big Three and ruined DreamWorks!"

"Ha! Isn't this a bad reputation?"

This move by Jobs made Eisner sit on the Diaoyutai more securely, but he was cheerful, the previous offense by his opponents would not have been this attitude.

"I can't stand you anymore!"

Harvey was originally an arrogant character with his nose on his face. He became more and more frantic. He first shook his face at His Majesty, and then pointed his index finger to the executive vice president of Bowei Pictures, "Also, don’t think I don’t know where’ You warn you about your little actions behind the launch of'Sin City', and it's better to be honest with me!"

Sin City is a film co-directed by his Miramax gang directors Robert Rodriguez, Quentin Tarantino, and comic master Frank Miller. The strong and unique comic elements and graphics will be held on April 1st. After the release, it received unanimous praise at home and abroad, but Bowei Films was a little stumbling on the release, especially the international release that Miramax was beyond reach, and he couldn't be mad.

Eisner was so angry at his behavior that he couldn't laugh.

"You have victim delusions!"

I'm all out of my head, who is afraid of whom? The executive vice president in charge of Bowei Pictures was too late to be licked by Disney's production companies before, and he immediately went back, "If there is no evidence, don't talk nonsense! Do you think the trouble you brought me back is not enough?"

"You can't care about me, oh yes, your master APLUS is already planning to go to Warner, does he leave a position for you? Oh, wait, wait, that's a record company..."

"Fxxkyou Harvey."

"And people have almost been fired haha."

"I'm not going anywhere."

"Believe it or not you fell into his hands and he also fired you?"

"Why don't we talk about when did you get out of here?!"

The two were arguing, and the door was pushed open again, "Why did ABC expose the scandal of my anchor!?" The person in charge of sports station ESPN rushed in and asked.

"Uh…"

Eisner really didn't know, "What's the matter?"

"Where's Robert Iger? Call him! Damn it!" The ESPN chief looked around and couldn't find Robert Iger, spraying dirty on the spot.

Eisner covered his heart and took out his handkerchief to wipe his sweat.

High-level fights, middle-level teams, so the anchors, editors, actors and singers who belong to different middle-level teams naturally take the opportunity to avenge revenge, and if there are injustices, Disney is completely messed up.

"George, this won't work. The midterm elections will come next year, and we have a good chance of retaking the Senate and the House of Representatives."

George Mitchell in the chairman's office also received a call from Underwood, "Disney must remain stable."

"Fxxkyou Underwood, I don't want to listen to what you say,'This is not possible'. Arkansas makes this call in person. Don't think I don't know which side you are on." But he told a former veteran like George Mitchell. There is no deterrent.

"The former commander and his wife liked Harvey, but Harvey yelled outside that you and Paulson fooled him."

Underwood is naturally from Song Ya's side, "This is not so good, I mean your alliance with Paulson... The Georgian Dynasty is considering him to take over as Treasury Secretary."

"Fuck you, read the book at www.uukānshu.com. I am the chairman and Goldman Sachs is a Disney shareholder. That's it."

George Mitchell relied on his old age, "Don't put your bluffing tricks on the House of Representatives on my head, you were still drinking milk when I was a Senator, Underwood!"

"But this is really bad."

Underwood wasn't angry at all, "If you plan to come back in 2008, you can't get too close to Paulson, can you? Now that politicians are watching Disney, it's a bit uncomfortable over there."

"what do you want to say in the end!?"

"Gangs control Disney's influence in Hollywood and the television industry, instead of pushing them all to the opposite side, we will be rewarded."

Underwood said: "Anyway, in 2008 you need ABC, and you also need A, don't you?"

"Well, you're still helping the boy in Chicago as a lobbyist."

As soon as he mentioned A George Mitchell, he became sober, "He himself is the source of the greatest confusion! Tell him, let him wait!"
