Chapter 1258 Disturbance in Cold Mountain
When the dust settled, it was a wonderful experience to witness the whole process of a bill from the game to the implementation from the perspective of the donor. Although he was only a small donor, "The timing is just right." Song Ya commented.
"yes."
Donovan, Hayden and others echoed.
Outside there is Operation Desert Fox and the series of international political turmoil it stirred up. Inside there is an impeachment case. No matter whether the Senate votes or the commander-in-chief's signature comes into effect, there is no national discussion. The general public forgets that other large mergers and acquisitions have been approved similarly.
Then... There was not much to chat with the two entertainment agents about this, the living room was a little silent, and Hayden changed the channel.
'APLUS returned to Los Angeles from Hawaii today, his full score tour will be held at the Staples Center this weekend, after the East Hall bathroom...'
"Damn it's endless, isn't it?" Song Ya cursed, "How did the domestic report that I left Universal to go to Disney?"
"No..." Donovan looked at Hayden.
"Not much in-depth coverage, you know, the impeachment case, Lewinsky, terrorist attacks, the Lewinsky battle, the impeachment case..." Hayden laughed: "You just came back, you may need to get used to the atmosphere first."
Indeed, the domestic news of the major stations basically revolves around this matter. It is basically the same old way before going abroad. The party-like media ridicules, encourages, and curses. The current commander-in-chief must be impeached and stepped down. "If you don't really do it, it doesn't count as having a relationship, so it doesn't count as perjury." Some sophistry, they mainly focus on showing the economic achievements of the commander-in-chief and the polls. The current polls are slightly favorable. After all, the economy is doing well. It is true, and the people are tired of the long political strife.
There are endless speeches, statements and debates by members of Congress. The 30 donkey party representatives who ran votes before are the focus of attention. The next vote will be played for real. Whether they will change their positions is very important.
Therefore, the commander-in-chief is using all means to delay the vote as much as possible to buy time. On the one hand, he is using all means to please the big capital. On the other hand, the public’s gossip is over. And sympathize with him.
On the 1st today, exactly ten days before the vote in the House of Representatives on the 11th, Song Yaxin calculated, "If the House of Representatives passes impeachment, won't the vote in the Senate be postponed until next year?"
"definitely."
Hayden and Donovan nodded simultaneously.
"If this continues, the political pressure on members of parliament who agree to impeachment will increase.
"Song Ya judged.
"Probably so." Hayden nodded.
"Huh... It doesn't matter, anyway, I can really feel that in Europe and Asia, they are all happy to hear and see this political farce show."
Song Ya yawned, "I'll take a rest first, I'm too tired from the long-distance flight, if Daniel or others come to find them, let them wait, saying that I'm jet-lagged."
"Why don't you visit here first?" Hayden asked.
"No, just take me to the bedroom."
Song Ya pointed to Mira who was still very excited beside her: "Take her to visit first, she will definitely not be able to sleep now, oh yes, Old Mike may need to change and arrange some security facilities, you can discuss it."
"OK."
He was led to the master bedroom, tidied up casually and went to bed. He was sleepy and tired at first, but when he hit the pillow, he suddenly couldn't fall asleep again, and stayed with his eyes open for about ten minutes. He called Sloan.
"The passage of the Digital Millennium Act is good news. Because of the safe harbor clause, Littman Media's stock price should react tomorrow. The lawsuit between the RIAA and the American music website...it is almost impossible for them to win."
Sloan was in the Chicago headquarters, naturally in a good mood, "Oh, by the way, about the Def Jam record, do you know Irv Gotti?"
"certainly."
"Irv Gotti's Murder Records is a subsidiary of Def Jam, and the conflict between him and Def Jam President Lyle Cohen has intensified recently, because all the talented singers of Murder Records were dug out from Def Jam by Irv Gotti, and Lyle Cohen forced him to stay. It's..."
"DMX?"
Song Ya knew about this. Irv Gotti poached the parent company's corners and took away Jalul and Ashanti. Lyle Cohen was unhappy. Lyle Cohen successfully retained the singer DMX. Irv Gotti was also unhappy. The deterioration of the relationship between the two parties is due to predictable.
"Yes, it seems to be the stage name." Sloan didn't know much about the New York rap scene, but she judged that Irv Gotti might be the opening to deal with Def Jam and cause trouble for Seagram Global Group's IPO.
"Irv Gotti is a big mouth... Besides, he is now gaining power as the owner of a record label, and his self-expectation is obviously aimed at matching Puff Daddy, which is at least a billionaire level, and it may be very difficult to buy. "
Cooperating with that kind of street bandit is too unexpected, Song Ya's first reaction is to veto, the revenge against the majestic Bronfman family, don't be ugly when Irv Gotti's big mouth quarrels, you can't finish the job and silence it ? "And he and I still have a bit of an old grudge because of the Blade project."
"I'm not sure about this, you should discuss it with Linda and the others," Sloan suggested.
It's really not professional, Song Ya agreed.
Sloan and others have begun to consider Irv Gotti. In fact, it also shows that the real financial situation of Def Jam is not as easy to obtain as they originally imagined. They should have tried a lot of more reliable people and methods and failed...
"Emmmm..."
Anyway, it's good to have something to think about in your mind. Song Ya quickly broke away from the slightly melancholy mood, and muttered to himself. Before he knew it, he snored evenly.
Opening his eyes again, it was already dark outside. The main building of this manor is very large, and the privacy of the living area is naturally excellent. "Where is Old Mike?" Opening the door, there is only one person playing with the new Sega Muffler outside. DC game console, it looks like EA's football game, he usually only plays this.
"Ballroom, we have guests." The silencer paused the game.
"Guests? Who are there?"
Muffler shrugged and shook his head, "Xuelin! Halle!" Maybe he only knew Xuelin Fen and Halle Berry among the guests, or what he said just now was "excessive".
"Oh, keep playing."
The muffler is an old brother. Song Ya usually doesn't send him to do other jobs except bodyguards. He rubs his dry stomach, goes to the suitcase to find the proper clothes, and then packs up and goes out.
He knew the way to the banquet hall. Eddie Murphy used to come here with Harley when he was the owner, and groped through it based on his memory. At present, this place is still very deserted.
"Mike."
Until he saw Old Mike at the end of the corridor, he was explaining security matters to several bodyguards, and by the way, guarding the 'main road' to prevent guests from wandering into the living area.
"There are a lot of people below." Old Mike saw him and said, it turned out that the corridor on the second floor is the railing on the second floor, and the huge barn-style banquet hall below happened to be unobstructed. "They all came here temporarily from the neighbor Daniel's house."
Advertise an advertisement, [ app ] is really good, it is worth installing, and it supports both Android and Apple phones!
Song Ya looked at it. There were probably dozens of people. The old man said that there were quite a few, but it was not enough for a Hollywood party. Nicole Kidman, an Australian blond girl who was so white and glowing in the crowd, was very eye-catching. Naturally, there are Hollywood superstars, her husband Liang Tang, their manager Pai Kingsley, and... Fergie, who is also an artist under Pai Kingsley.
Song Ya felt a little headache, Pai Kingsley must have brought Fergie to him to ask for a signing fee.
The four of them were surrounded by other people. It might not be accurate to say that they were surrounded. There seemed to be a small conflict. Liangtang was pointing at a white man and said something rudely, and the others silently gathered around to watch the excitement.
The Caucasian man happened to have his back turned to him. Judging from his height and shape, he should be Charles Fraser, author of Cold Mountain's original novel and chief screenwriter of the film adaptation project.
It is easy to understand the conflict. Charles Fraser is the most opposed to Liangtang playing the leading role of Leng Shan, and at the same time he supports his wife Nicole Kidman to compete for the leading role. This move will indeed make people feel a little bit malicious .
Nicole Kidman, in a form-fitting green sheer evening gown, stood awkwardly aside as the two men argued.
"Let it go, please let it go..."
Cold Mountain director Tony Scott and A+ Film Studio President Yeremov appeared. They separated from the crowd and stood between Liangtang and Charles Fraser to persuade them. Soon, Charles Fraser turned and walked towards the bar in the corner of the banquet hall. , the crowd gradually dispersed.
The shorter Liang Tang half pushed his wife's back and led her to the cold dining table on the other side.
The buffet counter should have been hastily set up, and Hayden was instructing the party company and waiters to arrange the drinks and food.
Song Ya continued to search, but she didn't see Xue Linfen and Harley in the mouth of the silencer, nor did Mira.
In short, there are several groups of people who came here tonight. In addition to the people who are entangled with the Cold Mountain project, Zack Schneider, David Goyer and Catherine's couple's Blade Warrior project related personnel, Spike Lee, Terrence Howard, Ai Len Kliman and other creators of the Miracle crew were there, as well as Linda, who was talking with Linton, the president of the Disney copyright company. They were surrounded by A+ Records and the newly merged Hollywood Records executives.
At this time, Jennifer Connelly had just walked into the gate of the banquet hall holding Jared Leto's arm. The combination of handsome men and beautiful women attracted everyone's attention as soon as they appeared, and Daniel greeted them affectionately.
Jennifer Connelly wore a tube top evening dress today, and the gauze draped over her shoulders hung down to hide her majesty. She greeted Jared Leto and Liang Tang in a friendly way, and two pairs of Leng Shan starred in competition On the surface, the person is amiable.
It's just that her clothes today slightly collide with Nicole Kidman's and are also green. Both of them seem to have been honored by the media as the most beautiful face in the world.
Jennifer Connelly has dyed her black hair a slightly darker blond brown, and Nicole Kidman presumably has, too. Her hair, which used to be reddish-blonde, is now light blonde.
It's really pleasing to the eye, each is good at winning...
Basically, the following people have intersected with their various businesses in Los Angeles. They couldn’t wait to visit as a group on the first night. Maybe it’s time to make a decision, especially Leng Shan. Moon hasn't figured it out yet.
"Hahaha!"
Song Ya just wanted to go downstairs to show her face, when Mira's hearty laughter and Harley's chatter came from behind her.
It turned out that Mira took them to visit the house, and just came back, Harry, Xue Linfen, and Natasha Kinski, who was holding Xue Linfen's arm and looked like a best friend.
They are all great beauties, only Xue Linfen did not wear evening clothes but changed them to professional women's fashions, with a small gold-rimmed glasses hanging around her neck, as if she was afraid that others would not know that she had become a Hollywood producer successfully.
"Hey." Song Ya greeted the forests.
"It's great here, APLUS." Harry embraced warmly and poked secretly.
"We can't delay any longer, the casting dispute is getting out of control." Xue Linfen was the second, "I heard Mira say that she..."
"Yes." Song Ya blinked at Mira, who was groping her stomach, "How is your new film? I heard Hayden said it has been released?" He asked Natasha Kinski again.
"Don't mention it, after three days, Beimi's box office is only over 10,000 dollars..." Natasha Kinski began to whine and complain, "The project produced by Oliver Stone!"
puff! Worthy of the name of the big poison at the box office, "That's a pity." Song Ya replied with a suppressed smile.
"We need to talk." Xue Linfen is now a career woman: "The cold mountain audition has long been over, but..."
"Well, then I won't go down, you quietly bring Yeremov up, and he's the only one."
Song Ya asked the four girls to go downstairs first, "Mike, where is the study?"
"boss."
Yeremov quickly pushed the door open with Xue Linfen.
The casting of the Cold Mountain project has been turbulent so far, and countless famous stars have squeezed their heads. The advantage is that it has created a lot of talk in Hollywood and the gossip media.
"The Liangtang couple were arguing in front of Daniel's house some time ago and were photographed by the paparazzi. Because Nicole Kidman has a greater advantage, she seems to be willing to put aside her husband to sign the contract. Liangtang is very angry about this. He insisted on taking Nicole Kidman earlier. Deman entered the game and helped his wife get a lot of good resources, such as Great Earth Ambition, the two are the male and female protagonists... the same is true for Eyes Wide Shut, which has not yet been released."
Yeremov reported: "He is still jealous of Nicole Kidman and Charles Fraser. If this continues, he may have to use the resources and influence of Scientology to fight for roles. Scientology has a lot of hidden power in Hollywood. We I can hardly stand it anymore."
"Wait." Song Ya raised her hand, "Why is Nicole Kidman more advantageous? Doesn't Touchstone Films like her who likes soup and doesn't like box office poison?"
"Touchstone was persuaded by director Tony Scott to back this man, not Jared Leto."
Yeremov took a resume from his bag.
"Let me guess first, Jude Law?" Song Ya secretly smiled, and the world line seemed to be stubbornly deflecting to the original lineup of Tianqi.
"no."
"Huh?" Song Ya was stunned for a moment, "Matthew McConaughey, the Texas kid?"
"No." Yeremov revealed the answer: "A dark horse, James Caviezel...Tony Scott likes his appearance very much. He has debuted for nearly ten years, and his acting skills are not a problem."
A little-known actor, "Yeah." Song Ya flipped through his resume, and he was also a handsome Caucasian guy, American, just thirty years old, 1.88 meters tall. Problem, there are a lot of audition photos in the resume, and the slovenly and miserable appearance is the best, and the temperament and image are exactly like the crucifix in the church.
This will really poke the G-spot of conservative white people in the south. In fact, Leto also looks a bit like Jesus when he has long hair, but it is more refined and gorgeous.
The male protagonist of Cold Mountain is on the run most of the time, and has been suffering from hunger and cold. No wonder Tony Scott fell in love with James Caviezel, and even would rather give up supporting his lover Liangtang.
"What about Daniel?"
Without Jared Leto or Jennifer Connelly, wouldn't Daniel be busy for nothing? Where will the face of the top six record company presidents go?
"Jennifer Connelly can play the second female role, and this role is also very good." Yeremov replied.
"You know that Daniel's main pusher is Jared Leto, and Leto has signed Daniel's Glass Records." Song Ya shook her head. Jennifer Connelly threw it to him to help push it, and it has nothing to do with his personal interests. Daniel would never agree to this compensation condition.
"Leto is out of the picture, director Tony Scott, Touchstone Films and author Charles Fraser are not optimistic about him." Yeremov said: "If Leto is selected, they would rather accept box office guarantees."
"Really? You won't be here..." Song Ya was afraid that he would deceive herself with these words and squeeze Daniel out of public affairs.
Xue Linfen shook her head quietly, indicating that she did not.
"Um……"
Song Ya closed her eyes. Apocalypse's original version of the second female is Renee Zellweger, who has worked with Mr. Sweetheart with Pretty Soup, and is now a popular Hollywood actress. Maybe because of time, the original version of Cold Mountain played the rude and independent standard Southern women very well, but Now he should be unwilling to break his image to play this kind of role and match others, "Who else is the second female contender?" He asked.
Yeremov reported several names, but there was no Renee Zellweger.
"Would Jennifer Connelly be willing?"
