"I'm very unlucky, Jay Leno replaced you at that time." Song Ya said.
"Oh……"
The two chatted for a few words, and he asked Song Ya to ask for the latest version of the cat and mouse game script and put on reading glasses and looked at it at the dinner table.
"Could you take the liberty to ask, how did you know that I wanted to restart this project?" Song Ya took the opportunity to inquire.
"A friend told me."
He did not recruit sources. "The young actor’s agents all think this is an opportunity. Abagnell’s experience is legendary. It will be very beneficial to their career development to get such a high IQ single male lead role. , Huh? You changed him to a double hero?"
"It's not enough, it has greatly improved the role of the FBI agent's second man. High-IQ liars also need high-IQ opponents, don't they?" Song Ya asked back.
"It's okay, I still prefer the first version of the script I just got the right to adapt."
He showed a look of remembrance, "I was very passionate about creation at the time, and stayed up all night and all night, just to write a good story about a legendary liar..."
Nagged and said a lot, "But it's okay. After all, it's not good to show a perfect liar character in the movie. Have you gotten that Abagnell?"
"I haven't contacted him yet." Song Ya replied.
"Ha, that guy will definitely take another sum of money from you." Johnny Carson laughed.
"I am mentally prepared."
Song Ya knows this is unavoidable. Although the right to adapt the novel is owned by Hollywood Pictures, it would not be good for the original author to jump out and cause trouble when the movie is announced. After all, like Forrest Gump, he still gets the right to fall out with the original author. High-selling projects are rare. In Hollywood, it is more often the case that the crew is caught in a scolding war with the original author, and then the wind is biased and the box office suffers losses.
"Well, that guy knows the art of trading, and he won't ruin you too much." Johnny Carson closed the script, "I want to invest in this drama."
"Welcome." Song Ya smiled.
"Uh……"
The old man seemed to have expected Song Ya to agree so readily, "You don't really think that I am the kind of blind investor in the outside world, do you? If you want to pit my money, then I have to say you made the wrong idea..."
"Me? Haha, I'm just a newbie who just entered Hollywood."
Song Ya smiled and said, "I'm afraid I don't know you about Hollywood yet. Yeremov said that your personal relationship with Mr. Roy Disney is very good, right?"
"Of course, I have helped the Disney family a lot." The old man replied triumphantly.
To his level, it is difficult to go bankrupt. After all, he is just a mess of investment, but his method is not radical. Even if he loses, he can obediently leave the market and never engage in the kind of high loan and high leverage.
Before coming to Banburke, Song Ya had done some understanding. Even though this old man had almost tossed out hundreds of millions of dollars, the royalties from his early book publications were still sufficiently free. There was still a three-point nail in the rotten boat, and he was not very poor in life. Very extravagant, at least still a multi-millionaire. As one of the TV hosts with the highest ratings in the 1970s and 1980s, he was even able to influence the hearts and minds of the American people at the time. This is bound to be accompanied by various political and commercial forces' public relations activities all year round. Needless to say, although it is meaningless to offend many people because of his big mouth.
"I want the right to modify the script."
But the old man might be satisfied with Song Ya's respectful attitude and immediately began to be a demon.
"Uh, I will properly consider your amendments." Song Ya declined.
"Play word games with me? Boy... I was just... before you appeared in this world..."
"Mr. Carson, I am good at investing, you can trust me." Song Ya interrupted him with a smile.
"Ha! Is that the pig on the tuyere?"
The old man was a little embarrassed by his gaze. When it comes to investing, it is an eternal pain in his heart, "Go and sit there."
The two ended the issue just now by leaving the dining 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 with a bad attitude. Because of the previous divorce lawsuit, he now has to pay an ex-wife's monthly living expenses of 6,000 dollars, and another ex-wife took away 20 million dollars from him for divorce compensation. I heard that this person has been strictly prohibited. He took the money and then went out to invest indiscriminately, otherwise the inheritance would not be much left.
"It's okay my dear, UU read www.uukanshu.com, I don't read it, you continue to talk about APLUS."
"What I worry about is distribution. You know, Hollywood publishers hate it."
Song Yala's main purpose for joining the game is to take advantage of his personal relationship with Roy Disney and his remaining influence in the media. It is rare to have an intersection with this kind of old media person who has begun to retire. This opportunity must be grasped. live.
"I know, I know, I will talk to Roy about this." He nodded.
The two fell silent, and when his wife left, he asked again: "I can still compose jokes. After retirement, I have saved a lot and can add it to the script."
"Jan... well, I have no opinion in principle, as long as the joke is good enough." Song Ya knew that he had fallen into nostalgia and unwillingness to host his career, and did not refuse again.
Then the two stopped talking.
The old man thought for a while, and then suddenly asked: "APLUS, how did you get 100 million from Dow?"
"Just...sell the factory under my name to them..."
Song Ya was a little uncomfortable with the bright eyes of the old man's thief, "Actually, I don't necessarily make money. Do you know the popular light stick support method over the book? This is a big market."
"Did Dow use any method against you?" the old man asked.
"Uh, of course, I used some."
"I knew it, I knew it!" The old man thumped the armrest of the sofa, "They are not honest, very dishonest, when the Agent Orange incident..."
Halfway through, he stopped in time, and then he was speechless.
"About how much you will vote in the cat and mouse game project." Song Ya broke the silence.
"I have not decided yet."
The old man carefully glanced at the direction of his wife's departure, "You can talk to my lawyer. We will keep in touch through him."
Chicago 1990 Chapter 595: I want to kill him
Before leaving, Johnny Carson also revealed a news that Disney’s bid for NBC Television Network failed. Disney Chairman and CEO Michael Eisner insisted on holding the shares, while General Electric Chairman and CEO Jack Welch refused to own The share of NBC shares fell below 51%, and the two top managers in the US business community who had absolute control over their respective companies broke up.
Michael Eisner refused to give up, and instead replaced the target with the ABC television network, which is a mess of three major TV stations.
"Nowadays, the three major TV networks have a hard time? Both digital satellite TV and cable TV networks are developing rapidly. Is it necessary to buy the three major TV networks?" Song Ya asked.
"Be more sensitive to politics, boy, pay more attention to the game between the two parties around the telecommunications bill next year."
It's a pity that the old man's advice was showing off to the blind. Song Ya had no idea about the TV industry, otherwise he would sell the TV station.
Without the Apocalypse teachings, he would not be able to see clearly in the television and telecommunications industries. In fact, even people in related industries in the United States would not be able to see clearly. Who wins in digital satellite TV and cable networks? Who can have the last laugh with the European-led GSM and Motorola-led satellite mobile communication systems? Maybe there will be results after the telecommunications bill is formally written.
