Chicago 1990

David Geffen agreed to return to Los Angeles that day, March 20, Sonja arrived on the back foot.

Titanic leads the Iron Mask by a modest $50,000 at the North American box office, and the audience's enthusiasm for the big ship has waned considerably as they are much more excited about Li's new movie.

Rumor has it that Fox is using a little 'trick' to keep the winning streak going, because it's the most dangerous week before the Oscars, and it's too bad that it's broken.

"APLUS! Are you here for the Oscars?"

"APLUS, why is your second single a Hispanic song?"

"Are you and Miss Shakira in a stable relationship?"

Sonja walked out of the airport with Shakira in his arms, and waved to the reporters with a smile on his face, indicating that he would not be interviewed.

Bronfman Jr. was supposed to meet with Philips and PolyGram, but besides anti-piracy and the Digital Millennium Act, the focus of the industry is now on the PolyGram takeover battle.

Sony's Columbia Records has little incentive because of its overwhelming capital base, EMI, like PolyGram, is losing money because a large percentage of its market is in Asia, where piracy is rife, and Time Warner, the parent company of Warner, and BMG's parent company, Bertelsmann, are focusing their efforts on the Internet and media attacks.

Currently, the most suitable buyer for PolyGram is Universal Records, and Bronfman Jr.'s ambition to form the world's number one record label is likely to succeed.

In addition to the fact that his newly released new album, the second single Cup of Life, is cold in China, and the Spanish language with soccer elements, the MiG doesn't buy it at all.

"Coming Together?"

When he got in the car he asked Shakira. He'd have to take Robb and Jon back to San Marino, Sherifina first.

"No, I'll wait for you at the hotel." Shakira answered hesitantly.

"Yeah."

The house in Malibu Beach, the house in Beverly Hills, the house in San Marino, and Charis' little house, giving away so many houses in Los Angeles and then coming here herself and staying in a hotel, "Well, you get some rest, you have another flight to catch in the morning." Sonja kissed Shakira, then yawned and pushed the door open, switching to Robb and Jon's car.

"Mr. Griffin, so what do we do now?"

The RIAA is going to start another round of voting in a few days without seeing the main target, and this time there is absolutely no chance. The RIAA couldn't resist.

Daniel and Doug Morris only dared to follow Bronfman Jr.'s exact words 'vote again next week', delaying the interval to about ten days? Literally in the range of next week anyway? Give yourself a little more room to maneuver.

If the advertising ban comes out, I'll have to work my ass off to stretch the billions of dollars that have evaporated from Littman Media.

"You'll go to Amsterdam as soon as you finish the World Cup theme song in Lausanne? I'll find an excuse to go too."

David Geffen was also in a bit of a hurry, "Mr. Bronfman Jr. will be there for a long time."

"Okay."

Barely enough time? Sonja obliged.

"Aren't you going to go along and keep an eye on things?" Estefan, the agent, watched Sonja's motorcade drive away, and asked Shakira, "He's going to look for Cheryl Finn. asked Shakira, "It's a bit dangerous for him to go to Sherinfen."

"Never mind." Shakira replied with her mouth full, "He's been honest these past few months, and I don't want to be the kind of girlfriend who's too pestering."

"Oh."

Estefin could certainly see Shakira's mood, "So you're so unhappy?"

"I don't know."

Shakira leaned her head against the car window in loneliness? "He was good to me? But always busy with law school, homework, rehab, spending time with the kids, dealing with all kinds of business, meeting with lawyers, managers, business partners, getting up early and going to bed late. Sometimes I feel like I'm just there for him? He likes to hug me and let me be there for him no matter what? But the attention is always elsewhere."

"That's why he became a billionaire at such a young age, there are no shortcuts behind success." Estefan laughed, "You have to understand? Just get through this year, he won't always be this busy? He's now anxious to regain the popular status, business and social connections he had before he was shot."

"Get through this year ......"

Shakira has pessimistic expectations for the future? But for now it's a fluke.

"Mummy!"

Robb and Jon are naturally more affectionate with Serafine? She was clamoring for her mom in Highland Park, and when Sonia arrived in San Marino, she immediately threw away her dad's hand, abandoned him mercilessly, and both flew at her mother, who was waiting at the door.

"Boss ......"

Sonja was really busy, and Yeremov, Donovan, and Hayden were all here early waiting for him.

"Don't forget this." Sonja handed over his eldest son's small school bag to Sherin Finn, the woman was dressed up today, but ......

"Well? What's wrong with you?" He noticed that Sherin Finn was a little sickly.

"To wear a couture evening dress from Dior."

She laughed bitterly, "I've been on a diet for days."

"It's just an award, you don't have to torture yourself that much." Sonja could also appreciate how much she valued her appearance at the Oscars, and casually advised her before meeting with Yeremov and the others.

"This is Touchstone Records from ......."

Yeremov first introduced the executives of Cold Mountain project partner Touchstone Records, and the two sides have reached an alliance to fight for the film adaptation rights, with a 50/50 funding, which will be handed over to Disney's distribution company Bovee.

Disney's other two labels, the old partner Hollywood Pictures because of the departure of Linton is now a stranger, and Miramax also because of the Weinstein brothers by Disney boss Eisner's suspicion, as the 'royalists' lineage of Linton naturally is not happy to see a good project handed over to Miramax.

"Who are we up against?" Sonia sat down and asked.

"The main rival is Pretty Soup's CW Films, who are backed by Paramount's Shirley Lansing." The man from Touchstone replied that his family's resources in Hollywood must be much greater than those of A+ Studios.

"Isn't Shirley Lansing on her way out? I've heard that Lei Shidong has arranged for his executives to be parachuted in ready to take over from that old woman at any time." Sonia asked.

"At least she's not gone yet."

Shirley Lansing, like the former president of Universal, Cyborg, is currently in the stage of letting go while she still has the right to do so, and is not avoiding the rumors about Pretty Tang's relationship with her. Kidman plays the female lead."

"Well ......"

Sonia closed her eyes, the original movie star is Nicole Kidman, it seems that the world line is very stubborn, "so pretty soup yourself ......".

"He wants to play the male lead, of course, but the couple are both currently busy with superstar director Kubrick's eye-opening project and are splitting their time, and the start date shouldn't quite be enough for Charles Fraser, who, along with Cold Mountain's publisher Atlantic Monthly, is inclined to start shooting as soon as possible."

Yeremov added the good news: "Shirin also had a good chat with Charles Fraser, and both she and Charles Fraser are fans of Beggars of the Law author Jack Kerouac."

Wenqing sees Wenqing with two tears in her eyes ......

"He and Harvey Weinstein had been friends for years, and the Oscar-winning director was sincere and seductive enough, but had the same problem as the Soupsters, with Anthony Minghella already working on another project and Harvey busy adapting and shooting the magical masterpiece. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, the great British writer, will devote his efforts to the Cold Mountain project for at least next year."

The director said: "There is also the Chinese director Ang Lee, who is currently working with Universal Pictures on Riding with the Devil, which is also a Southern perspective film set against the backdrop of the Civil War. "

"Shirin recommended Charles Frazier, the royal guard, and she liked it," Donovan said.

"Yes, he and I talk about EastEnders and springtime, and he understands Wong Kar-Wai." Sherrenfine finished her children and smiled as she served tea to everyone.

"So the main rivals are Universal, Paramount and CW Studios, and then Miramax under the same parent company?"

Sonja snapped his fingers and concluded.

"Pretty much, other companies have been in touch with Atlantic Monthly and Charles Fraser, but according to our information, those are the only ones that stay ahead of us, plus at most one more Columbia Pictures."

The man from Touchstone nodded, "Charles Frazier is now asking for screenwriting rights and then involvement in the full film edit."

"Not too much to ask, right?" Sonia asked.

"Not too much, he is the original author, and is currently one of the most popular best-selling authors in the whole rice, Cold Mountain is very suitable for making a punch film, and also gathered a very large fan base."

The man from Touchstone replied: "Everyone should say yes, we don't have an advantage at this point, but ......". He looked at Song Ya and stopped talking.

He looked at Sonja and stopped talking. He was worried about my scissors, right?

"I'm not going to do anything bad ......", Song Ya said, which made everyone laugh.

I'm the one who got the cat and mouse game back on track with the original Apocalypse Now? And the original Cold Mountain film ......

In short, the A+ film studio's final cut can't get away, and the distributor, Bovee Pictures, has trusted itself since the cat and mouse game, so we'll see the finished film when the time comes.

"Okay, then you guys keep working."

Sonia didn't have the energy to worry about too many details, "Is there anything I can help you with? But as you know, it's very inconvenient for me to get the limelight on this kind of Southern perspective film."

"We'll take care of it, don't worry."

"That's good." Sonja thought about the other competing parties ...... He hung up the phone with Columbia Pictures President John Cali on the spot, "Mr. Cali, this is APLUS ...... Well, I heard... ..."

"Columbia Pictures promised not to compete with us in bad faith."

Sonja asked John Cali to sell himself a favor for forcing him to file a soccer Yojimbo while in a coma, "and then DreamWorks won't get involved either, that's all I can promise."

"That's great, that's good enough."

The man from Touchstone was pleasantly surprised, and joined the crowd in offering compliments.

"Well."

The meeting continued for a while, and it felt like it was almost time for Sonja to look at his watch.

Sending the person who sent the touchstone out, Sonja took the opportunity to return and pinch Serafine's cheek.

"Come on, help me with the award dress." Sherifin smiled fawningly and took his hand.

"Then we're off, too." Donovan, Hayden and Yeremov also took their leave immediately.

"Oh yes, wait."

Sonja called out to them, taking out the brief script he had taken time to copy from his briefcase, "This is for you, Yeremov, find someone to flesh out the script and get it started as soon as possible, so that Plum can start work."

"Is it the girl next door? All right, I'll give the script to Plum's agent right away."

Yeremov briefly looked it over and left with the script in his precious arms.

"What the hell is this script? I play a man cast in a sex education film?"

On the twenty-first, Sonja and Shakira were on their way back to South America, and Plum received the script that Yeremov had asked his agent to forward to him. What's this about me running naked next to the lady's car?"

"Aren't there tires in the way, not exposed?" The agent was also full of lawsuits, "According to the contract you signed, A+ Studios is not in breach of contract."

"Make them change! I don't do those, and I'd hate to go back to playing high school kids again!"

The media hailed as the 'end of the century box office bomb' plum now mentality is in the most inflated period, the extent of his popularity when ...... for example, as long as in any party to any, any woman hook fingers, a little hint, you can take away on the spot to take, almost no rejection experience, every woman, no matter the age, no matter the background and even whether married, all want to be Jack's Rose, even if only a dewy love affair.

"What's the use of regretting it now! Who told you to sign what Yeremov gave you without even looking at it in the first place!"

The agent also yelled at him, "Not to mention, you have to be at the Oscars, so don't lose your temper, what good is it to offend the old judges? At least behave well and impress them a little."

"Fourteen nominations, just M-FXXK my man didn't!"

Little Plum took it personally, "And don't you ever speak to me so loudly again! Beware that I fire you!"

"Ha!"

The agent was used to being strong, and laughed out loud at his threats, "How could you be as good as you are without me? Don't forget how hard I insisted that you shoot the Titanic! By your standards, I'm afraid you've already lost faith in Cameron. ......"

"Shit!"

It's good not to mention this, but the thought of being forced to meet with APLUS made Plum angry, "OK, you're fired, effective immediately! Go talk to my lawyer!"

He used the alcohol to copy the phone to call his personal lawyer.

"Don't ...... don't be like this Leo, I've worked hard to build you up, you can't just turn your back on me when you're a big hit!"

The agent panicked at his seriousness and rushed out to chase after him.

Little Leo didn't care, he strode out the door, just in time to run into a daze of paparazzi.

"Leo, will you be attending the Oscars?"

"Are you and Kate real-life boyfriend and girlfriend?"

The dogs gathered around him and chased him around.

"No go no go! For what do you know?"

Little Plum replied impatiently, "I don't want to steal someone else's thunder! Let the Oscar spotlight be shifted to an actor who wasn't nominated!"
