Chicago 1990

Latest URL: Pastors belong to another system, and there are huge differences within the Christian religion.To put it simply, the Baptist Church implements the congregation system, and the local churches operate independently. Instead of Ellison's power, it is in the hands of a council of the local parish federation. The descendants of important early donors, representatives of local believers, etc., are very complicated.

"I will help, but it is not convenient for public support. At most, Aunt Susie will come forward."

Song Ya was slapped a bit, so he confirmed again, "William, are you really going to do this?"

"Of course, I think this is an opportunity, you know Alex, my parish is very small..." William took the opportunity to chat.

Even in the same church, the difference in hidden income between pastors is huge. For example, Allison, who has a huge influence, has been operating reasonably for many years, and his wealth looks mediocre, but his daily life is not much worse than that of the wealthy Chicago. Go, in the poorest parish in Chicago, there is even a'summer palace' dedicated to him, which is actually another way of saying vacation villas.

Of course, as long as it is not the kind of cult whose main purpose is to make money, most pastors are poor, and their income is completely incomparable with rich people and politicians with the same social influence, such as William.

"All right, then Eli will help you."

Song Ya instinctively was not interested in this kind of key, nor did he intend to understand it deeply. After listening to William's complaint, "Do you have a plan?" Then he asked Eli.

"Not yet, but this kind of thing hasn't happened, and it's time to change blood."

Before Eli came, he communicated with Peter. It must be Peter's intention to get rid of Ellison. The pastor who controls the votes can threaten politicians, and politicians naturally have countermeasures. It only depends on the cost of using it. For so many years, there is nothing new.

"Then you go and do it, you can contact me if you need it, no, talk to Goodman first, I will greet him."

Throwing the matter over to his own lawyer, Song Ya threw away his hand, and Eli and William immediately got together to plot a'rebellion'. It is estimated that it is still too early to start the implementation, and it is enough to pay for the theater.

After a brief rest in Chicago, he appeared in Malibu in Los Angeles the next night, this time not in his own home, but in the mansion where David Geffen was.

DreamWorks took off. The Big Three and Microsoft shareholder Paul Allen formally negotiated a cooperation. Paul Allen generously injected 550 million yuan to help DreamWorks establish a global distribution system.It is agreed to produce at least nine movies per year.These nine films are certainly not low-demand, and it is absolutely impossible to fool with rotten films, but neither party has disclosed the details of the cooperation.

DreamWorks also received 300 million yuan from CJ Entertainment, a member of the Li family of the new Luo family, Li Meijing, and sold her the film agency rights outside of the Asian region.

"These three guys only put out more than 30 million dollars in start-up funds, and so far there is no production of a movie!"

Song Ya, envious, jealous and hateful, used a wine glass as a cover at the star-studded dinner party and quietly complained to his wife who was holding her arm.

"Everyone is for Spielberg's sake."

Mariah Carey’s party in Hollywood in the past few months is not for nothing, the news is very well-informed, "I heard that the Li of the Li family... is that the person who owns Samsung has bid more than his relatives, 500 million. Pierberg doesn't like him, and thinks he always likes to talk about semiconductors when negotiating."

"Li Jianxi?"

Song Ya sneered, "Hollywood always likes to use the nouveau riche in Asia to set off its own style. Who knows if this kind of joke is true or false, and the Jews only need 300 million for 500 million? I don't believe it at all."

"Ah, pay attention to your words, don't be heard."

Mariah Carey elbows his waist, "David, congratulations." She saw her agent Sandy Glen lead David Geffen from a distance.

"Oh, you guys are a natural match."

David Geffen was in such a good mood that he was a little bit drunk. He opened his arms when he came up, and put his arms around the two of them, "It's nice to see you."

"Congratulations, Mr. Geffen."

This guy is lucky. After selling Geffen Records, his interests and influence have been squeezed out by MJ these years. With the change of ownership of the entire Universal, the influence on Universal's MCA Records has also been greatly weakened. In addition, the development of Geffen Films was not smooth, and the frustration of the night interview with the vampires at the Oscars was publicly accused by the hottest actor, Liangtang. Seeing that his career was about to go downhill, he did not expect to fight Spielberg and Katzenberg. People jointly created the dream factory that the outside world judges is most likely to squeeze into Hollywood's top publishing company and become one of the Big Three.

Song Ya picked up and said, "Your new company will bring Hollywood back to the Big Eight, right?"

"I hope so, Paul expected so, we have no retreat."

David Geffen laughed.

This guy likes partying so much, but he protects the close relationship with the big benefactor very well. Before DreamWorks reported that he was invested, Song Ya had never seen Paul Allen at a party here, even now. I can’t see anyone from the Lee family in Shilla...

"How about your movie project? How's it going?"

After finishing this big business, David Geffen finally had a leisurely concern about something else, "How about handing over the issue to us?"

"Mrs. Song's Star Dream Tears has been discussed and released with 20th Century Fox. APLUS is a bit tricky, isn't it?" Sandy Glen helped beat the drum.

"My cat and mouse game has also been handed over to Disney's Bowei Pictures for distribution."

Song Ya shook his head apologetically, "Dance the sequel to my life in the world, you also have an investment, have you forgotten? Mr. Geffen..."

He noticed that Sandy Glen was winking at himself, and halfway through the reaction, his wife’s agent was taking the opportunity to show his favor, “There is only one'how do I stop this', a small cost movie. The issuer has not been found yet."

"Oh, yes, I forgot to invest in that sequel."

David Geffen shot his forehead, "What's the matter with your unreleased movie? Has it just been made?"

"Uh, it has been sent to the chain videotape rental company and various TV stations for a round of review, and there is no following..." Song Ya himself is not as embarrassed about a bad film.

"Ha, I understand."

Of course David Geffen knows what it means to not even want movies in those places, but who told him to be in a good mood now, "No problem, let your people send the movie to the DreamWorks review room, we need the movie now Source reserves."

"OK, thanks to Mr. Gefen." Song Ya clinked glasses with him.

"Come on, come and say hello to Steven and Jeffrey."

David Geffen started to get started again, lovingly held Song Ya's waist, and was about to take him to other places.

He had to look at his wife for help.

"Then I will go over there with Sandy..." Mariah Carey waved her hand with a smirk, and went to her own social circle separately.

"Ha, my little Leonardo..."

Song Ya had to be pushed halfway by him to meet the other two DreamWorks giants. On the way, he ran into a little plum. David Geffen reached out and pinched the face of this beautiful blond man, twisted it spoilingly before letting go. , "I heard that you are not going well this year?"

"Yes, the two movies in the first half of the year, the basketball diary and the fatal pleasure, were not very good at the box office.

Little Lizi could only smile and let him wipe the oil, his agent followed him with a wry smile, "Mr. Geffen, Mr. APLUS..."

In the first half of the year, Xiao Lizi walked memorially. The box office of the basketball diary was only 2.4 million. The shooting plot in the school was also greatly criticized. The fatal pleasure was 35 million in production costs and 18 million in box office. Sharon Stone, the actress of Chia Tai Hong, was hit hard.

"It doesn't matter, there are two more movies to be shown in the second half of the year, right?" Song Ya knows the other party's filming plan very well, and at the same time is thankful that he did not continue to invest in him as the apocalypse foreshadowed, otherwise he would be the one losing money.

"Yes, Eclipse and Marvin's room." Xiao Lizi glanced at David Geffen's arm around Song Ya's waist, his face paler.

"Hehe, you should play my cat and mouse game." Song Ya smiled and suppressed the joke.

"Leonardo also has Fox's Titanic project being filmed..." His agent helped to shirk.

"I know, it's okay, I have a chance to cooperate again in the future?"

"Ok, no problem."

The two sides separated, "Fox was in a bad situation in the twentieth century. Murdoch's media empire expanded too fast, and he encountered difficulties in the UK and Australia where he started." David Geffen, who just got the investment of the IT industry rich, gloated. , "Wait Steve wants to talk to you about DTS, I heard that you propose to list on the Chicago Stock Exchange?"

"This suggestion is just a solution proposed by my men."

Song Ya has nothing to hide. Katzenberg has already cleared his DTS shares. David Geffen still has a little bit in his hands. He doesn't care about it now, only Spielberg pays it. Hold a lot, more than yourself.

"APLUS, you came right in time."

Steve Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg are both here. The two are not as excited as David Geffin. Spielberg himself originally had Amperin Entertainment, a joint venture with Universal, and now he borrows from DreamWorks. Entering the distribution field and competing directly with the other seven major directors is a blessing and misfortune for the world’s most prestigious and best-selling directors, and Katzenberg, who is in charge of the specific operations of DreamWorks, is definitely burdened. It's so stressful that I can't relax.

"DTS thing..."

The only intersection between the two sides is DTS. Spielberg rarely talks about the others every time he sees himself. "I heard that September is the key period for the DVD camp and the SD camp to win?"

"That's what Terry Beard said." Song Ya nodded. "Wall Street investors have agreed to Terry Beard's suggestion to postpone the listing date to October and wait until the results come out in September before making a decision."

"I know, what do you think the result will be?" Spielberg asked.

"Uh, it's hard to say. The good news is that Warner will help us. The current industry generally thinks that the Sony-Philips alliance is a bit too strong. Maybe everyone will have considerations such as balancing them." Song Ya said on the matter.

"What if the SD camp fails completely?" Spielberg asked.

"Then DTS may go bankrupt due to the failure of listing, at least the valuation will be greatly reduced."

Song Ya replied that he originally proposed to speed up the listing, but since everyone agreed before, he would not take the initiative to take this responsibility.

"I see. Catherine doesn't want to follow up on this matter anymore. I will assign one of my investment managers to take full responsibility, and the one on your side..."

Spielberg couldn't remember Dile's name for a while, Song Ya told him.

"APLUS, your A+ film industry has a new choice in the field of film distribution and investment." Katzenberg reminded the two of them after talking.

"Yes, I look forward to working with DreamWorks."
