Chapter 725 DreamWorks
Pastors belong to another system, and there are huge differences within the Cultivation. Simply put, the Baptist Church implements a congregation system, and local sub-churches operate independently. The power of Allison is replaced by a council of the local parish association. Some of the representatives are senior leaders in the church, some are large charitable organizations, descendants of important early donors, representatives of local believers, etc., which 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 in the face, so she confirmed again, "William, do you really want to do this?"
"Of course, I think this is an opportunity, you know Alex, my parish is very small," William took the opportunity to nag.
Even in the same church, there are huge differences in hidden income between pastors. For example, Allison, who has a huge influence, has a reasonable operation for many years and has a mediocre wealth, but his daily life is not much worse than that of the rich people in Chicago. He is in the poorest parish in Chicago, and even has a summer palace dedicated to supporting him. In fact, it is another way of saying that a vacation villa is.
Of course, as long as it is not the cult that aims to make money, most pastors are poor and their income is incomparable to the wealthy and politicians with the same social influence, such as William.
"Okay, then Eli will help you."
Song Ya instinctively was not interested in this kind of trick, and she had no intention of getting to know it in depth. After listening to William's complaint, "Do you have a plan?" she asked Eli instead.
"Not yet, but this kind of thing has not happened before, and it's time for a blood change."
Before Eli came, he communicated with Peter and it was Peter's intention to get rid of Allison. The pastor who controls the votes can threaten politicians. Naturally, politicians also have countermeasures, just to see whether the cost of using it is cost-effective. The US campaign has been going on for so many years, and nothing new has happened.
"Then you go and do it. If you have any needs, you can contact me. No, let's discuss it with Goodman first, I will greet him."
After leaving the matter to his lawyer, Song Ya threw it away. Eli and William immediately gathered together to conspire for rebellion. It is probably too early to start the implementation. I will just pay for the show.
After a simple break in Chicago, he appeared in Malibu, Los Angeles the next night, not his own home, but David Geffen's mansion there.
DreamWorks took off, and the three giants and Microsoft shareholder Paul Allen officially agreed to cooperate. Paul Allen generously invested 550 million yuan to help DreamWorks establish a global distribution system, and agreed to produce at least nine movies a year. These nine movies must have a low requirement, and it is absolutely impossible to fool bad movies, but neither party disclosed the details of the cooperation.
DreamWorks also obtained a 300 million-meter knife from Entertainment, a member of the Li family of Silla wealthy Li, and sold her the film agency rights in Asia outside the notebook.
"These three guys only took out more than 30 million yuan in startup funds, and so far there is no movie produced!"
Song Ya was so envious, jealous and hated that she used a wine glass as a cover for the star-studded dinner, and quietly complained to her wife who was holding her arm.
"Everyone is for Spielberg's sake."
Mariah Carey's party in Hollywood these past few months has not been in vain, and the news is quite well-informed. "I heard that Li of the Li family is the one who owns Samsung and bids more than his relatives, with 500 million, but Spielberg doesn't like him and thinks he always likes to talk about semiconductors during negotiations."
"Lee Kun-hee?"
Song Ya sneered, "Hollywood always likes to use Asian nouveau riche to highlight its style. Who knows whether this kind of joke is true or false? The Jewish guy doesn't just give 500 million yuan or not? I don't believe it at all."
"Oh, please pay attention to your words, don't be heard."
Mariah Carey pressed his elbow on his waist, "David, congratulations." She saw her agent, Sandy Glen, bring David Giffin over from a distance.
"Oh, you guys are so naturally a couple."
David Geffen was in a very good mood. He was a little drunk. He opened his arms and hugged them, "I'm happy to see you."
"Congratulations, Mr. Geffen."
This guy is so lucky. After selling Geffen Records, his interests and influence have been squeezed out over the years. With the change of ownership of the entire Universal, his influence on Universal's record has been greatly weakened. In addition, Geffen Film has not developed smoothly, and his night visit to vampires at the Oscars were also publicly criticized by the most popular male star Liang Tang. Seeing that his career was about to go downhill, he did not expect that he and Spielberg and Carsonberg jointly created a dream factory that is most likely to squeeze into Hollywood's top distribution companies, becoming one of the three giants.
Song Yazhao said nicely, "Your new company will bring Hollywood back to the eighth major, right?"
"I hope so, Paul expected so, and we have no way out."
David Geffen smiled.
This guy likes to hold parties so much, but he protects his close contact with big investors very well. Before DreamWorks was reported to have been invested, Song Ya had never met Paul Allen at the party here, and she can't even see anyone from the Li family in Silla.
"Where are your two movie projects? How are you?"
After getting this big business, David Geffen finally had the time to care about something else, "How about handing over the distribution to us?"
"Mrs. Song's Star Dream Tears have already negotiated with 20th Century Fox to release. There is a bit of a play here, right?" Sandy Glenn helped beat the side drum.
"My cat and mouse game has also been handed over to Disney-owned Bowei Pictures for release."
Song Ya shook Yao's head apologetically, "Dance the sequel to my life is in the world. You have invested in it, have you forgotten? Mr. Geffen?"
He noticed that Sandy Glenn was winking at him, and reacted halfway through his speech, and his wife's agent took the opportunity to show kindness to him, "There is only one movie I should stop all this, a small-cost movie, and the publisher has not been found yet."
"Oh, yes, I forgot to have an investment in that sequel."
David Geffen slapped his forehead, "What's going on with your unreleased movie? Have you just made it?"
"Uh, I've sent it to the chain video rental and various TV stations for review, but there is no further information." Song Ya himself was not embarrassed to have a bad movie.
"Ha, I understand."
Of course David Geffen knows what movies that don’t even want in those places mean, but who told him to be in a good mood now, “No problem, let your people send the movies to the DreamWorks review room. We need film source reserves now.”
"Thank you, Mr. Geffen." Song Ya clinked his glasses.
"Come on, go and say hello to Steven and Jeffrey."
David Geffen started to get started again, and he held Song Ya's waist affectionately, and wanted to take him to other places.
He had no choice but to look at his wife for help.
"Then Sandy and I will go over there." Mariah Carey waved her hand with a wicked smile, and went to her own social circle.
"Ha, my little Leonardo"
Song Ya had to be half-pushed by him to meet the other two DreamWorks giants. On the way, he happened to meet Little Little Little. David Geffen reached out and pinched the blonde handsome man's face, twisted it twice before letting go, "I heard that you are not going well this year?"
"Yes, the box office of the two films in the first half of the year, the basketball diary and the fatal pleasure were not very good."
Little Lizi could only smile and let him take advantage of the situation. His agent followed him with a wry smile on his face, "Mr. Geffen, sir."
Little Lizi was memorized in the first half of the year, and the box office of the basketball diary was only 2.4 million yuan. The shooting plot in school was also greatly criticized. The fatal pleasure cost 35 million yuan and the box office of 18 million yuan, which gave the popular actress Sharon Shidong a heavy blow.
"It doesn't matter, there are two movies to be played in the second half of the year, right?" Song Ya knew the other party's filming plan very well, and was glad that she did not continue to invest in him as a person as the apocalypse sign, otherwise she would be the one who lost money.
"Yes, the room of Quanxiang Kuangai and Marvin." Little Lizi glanced at David Geffen's hand that was hugging Song Ya's waist, and his face turned paler.
"Hehe, you should play my cat and mouse game." Song Ya smiled and suppressed her thoughts of watching jokes.
"Leonardo and Fox's Titanic project are being filmed," his agent helped to shirk it.
"I know, it's okay, I have the chance to cooperate again in the future?"
"Okay, no problem."
The two sides were separated, "Twentieth Century Fox is not in a good situation. Murdoch's media empire expanded too quickly, and they encountered difficulties in both Britain and Australia, where they started." David Geffen, who had just received investment from a wealthy industry, gloated, "When Steve wants to talk to you later, I heard you recommend changing to the Chicago Exchange to go public?"
"This suggestion is just a solution proposed by my subordinates."
Song Ya has nothing to hide. Katzenberg has already cleared his shares. David Geffen still has a little bit in his hand. For him now, he no longer needs to care. Only Spielberg still holds a lot, more than himself.
"You're here just right."
Steve Spielberg and Jeffrey Carsonberg are both here, but they are not as excited as David Geffen. Spielberg himself had an Amperelin Entertainment, which was a joint venture with Global. Now he has entered the distribution field with DreamWorks to compete with the other seven head-on competitions with the other seven majors. It is a blessing and misfortune for the big director who is the most prestigious and best-selling box office in the world. Kasenberg, who is responsible for the specific operation of DreamWorks, must be under great pressure and cannot be relaxed.
"Things"
The only intersection between the two sides is that Spielberg basically doesn't talk much about anything else every time he sees himself. "I heard that September is the key deadline for who can win in the camp or the camp?"
"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 then make a decision after the result is released in September."
"I know, what do you think will be the result?" Spielberg asked.
"Well, it's hard to say. The good news is that Warner will help us. The industry generally believes that the Sony and Philips alliance is a bit too strong. Maybe everyone will have some considerations such as balancing them." Song Ya said on the matter.
"What if the camp completely fails?" Spielberg asked.
"Then it is possible to go bankrupt due to the failure of listing, at least the valuation will shrink greatly."
Song Ya replied that he suggested that he accelerated the listing, but since everyone agreed before, he would not take the initiative to take the responsibility.
"I understand. Catherine doesn't want to follow up on this matter anymore. I'll send one of my investment managers to be fully responsible, and the one on your side."
Spielberg couldn't remember Dilai's name for a moment, and Song Ya told him.
", your film industry has new options in the fields of film distribution and investment." Kasenberg and others reminded after chatting.
