Chapter 270
"Fucking alumni! It took me two days from enrollment to withdrawal!" PTA said, "What can I learn in college? For things like movies, only Hollywood is the best school!"
"Oh, she's just a naive little girl." Quentin Tarantino commented, shaking his head and drinking, "If Harvey hadn't had too much trouble with DreamWorks in the past two years, he would have sworn to give her Let's see some color."
But PTA shook her body and said with a strange smile: "Ha, you are wrong, Quentin. I bet Harvey has never done anything wrong to her, but that girl has always been escorted by a big studio , and now it’s directly connected to News Corporation. In the final analysis, who can make money in this circle is the god of those film companies—unless they want to die and touch the taboo—so they won’t be troubled by money.”
After all, Miramax is only an Austrian film label owned by Disney. Josie Horton is rich enough to open the door of Disney. Michael Eisner personally asked Harvey Weinstein not to The Lord of the Rings project is entangled. Don't you have the money to start a project and spend money on public relations?
This world is like this, rich can be very happy.
People who rely on movies for a living have more money than this kind of rich second generation who are born with good fortune, then it is completely stupid.
So Harvey Weinstein happily accepted the check from Tianji Films, leaving a good impression in front of **oss, and at the same time maintained a good relationship with Peter Jackson, the director of "The Lord of the Rings" .
However, this does not prevent Harvey Weinstein from stepping on "Fight Club" and Josie Horton at this time.
Murdoch's News Corporation is very powerful, but which one of the top six in Hollywood does not have the shadow of a large media group behind it?
Josie Horton made many mistakes.
The most deadly point is that, as a second-class citizen and a woman in Hollywood, she is still so arrogant and knows how to advance or retreat.
Therefore, many people who are obliged to maintain the stability of this big family are already secretly waiting for the opportunity to make a move, so that she can get the lesson and price she deserves.
Young people always need the tempering of crisis to really grow up and become a smooth and sophisticated Hollywood person.
"Honestly speaking, her luck has been so good." Mark Wahlberg leaned on the sofa and smoked, "Even Leo's popularity has been accumulated since the time of child star, but what about her? Casually She acted in a chick movie that didn’t require acting skills, and suddenly became the hottest youth idol in North America. In a flash, she easily beat Paltrow to win the Oscar.”
Even in the golden age of Hollywood, there is only one female star like Josie Horton who has no shortcomings in terms of awards, works, box office and star power and has quickly reached the top. Grace Kelly is the only one.
Not to mention Hollywood, which is about to usher in a new century.
"It's not easy." Quentin Tarantino said a fair word, "I've seen the movie where she was released, and her performance was much better than that fucking "Titanic"."
He didn't mention Josie Horton's performance in "Fight Club."
In fact, Quentin Tarantino absolutely loves Fight Club, a visionary masterpiece, a little more than he loves The Matrix.
—By the way, he was really sick of the shit special effects in The Matrix, even though the movie itself was pretty good.
But as an adult with a normal emotional intelligence, he doesn't intend to argue about this at this private gathering. PTA is obviously contemptuous and annoyed at fellow director David Fincher!
""Titanic", an old-fashioned boring and cheesy miracle—" PTA said, rolling a cigarette for himself, lighting it up and taking a puff, and then asked Mark Wahlberg beside him: "David is so Let your enemies get away? The fire is not burning enough now."
Mark Wahlberg glanced at Quentin Tarantino, who seemed to be in a trance, and said slowly: "Hurry up, David just didn't regard her as a real enemy before, this time he planned to attack her for a long time. That's the fatal blow..."
San Francisco, Mission Bay.
This biotechnology cluster area located in the soma community in the center of San Francisco used to be a port wasteland facing the sea, but is now designated by the government as the site for the new campus of the University of California, San Francisco, and is committed to developing a university as the anchor biological research cluster.
"The developers under the California government are doing a good job, and everything is thriving." On the bench in the China Basin Park on the side of McCovey Bay, Diane Feinstein, a female senator in an important position, asked casually: "Is the company under your name interested in moving?"
Beside her, Josie was dressed lightly, sitting half a meter away like an ordinary passerby, without any bodyguards or assistants around.
The gray sky made people feel depressing. Josie put on a black mask that covered most of her face, and replied without squinting: "Not yet. First of all, I don't have money or so many people now. Secondly, if someone messes with me, it doesn’t matter where I move.”
Diane Feinstein smiled faintly, and said in a mysterious tone, "That's not necessarily true."
"So, someone is really messing with me?" Josie raised her eyebrows, waiting for the answer from the female senator who received huge political donations from her every year.
In addition to political donations, Tianyan Network and the crew of "Like Heaven" have also provided many employment opportunities for the local area.
Diane Feinstein smiled again, and said, "Honey, you have blocked all other people's roads. Don't you allow others to seek reinforcements from the side battlefield?"
Josie smiled, "Of course, I expected this, so I came to see you, didn't I?"
While talking, she slowly folded her right leg over her left leg, and put her hands lightly on her knees, her posture was leisurely and graceful.
Diane Feinstein was infected by her strong self-confidence, shook her head, and didn't continue to play tricks.
She said: "Someone is pushing for an antitrust investigation of the SkyEye network, and there is a good chance that you will need to attend a hearing."
"My premonition came true, a super trouble." Josie was a little annoyed, subconsciously thinking that she herself needed to attend the hearing, "AOL? Microsoft? Or who?"
Diane Feinstein was noncommittal, and his tone was light: "This is your problem. But in the end, I would like to advise you, this stall is getting bigger and bigger, and you can't eat it by yourself. Either find Francis or other financial groups. I That's all for now."
To be honest, it was hard for her not to admire Josie Horton in front of her, this young girl, a Hollywood actress who should be obsessed with Vanity Fair.
Because as far as she knows, the genius ideas thrown out one after another by the other party are the key reasons why TT, the most valuable product under Sky Eye Network, has always stood firm and defeated those colleagues.
Oh, how many blueprints for the future of the instant messaging field are there in her cute little head?
Under the wave of the Internet, both money and connections can be copied, only ideas that are ahead of others cannot. Geniuses lead the trend, and those who follow will only fail.
Just like ICQ, another instant software acquired by the Internet giant America Online, the number of active users at that time has long since experienced the double impact of TT and Microsoft's MSN.
On the one hand, it is because ICQ and TT have an essential difference in concept. ICQ focuses on software development, user data is stored on the client end, and profits are made by customizing software for enterprises.
However, TT, which is crazy about buying servers and realizing cloud synchronization, dares to promise that it will be free forever.
——Now no one realizes that free is the most expensive.
On the other hand, instant messaging does not just mean instant messaging, and TT dug out the first pot of gold in the online community.The seemingly simple TT change, personal space, cloud pets, etc. have attracted a large number of user groups, and the endless interaction design has firmly grasped the user stickiness.
Obviously, even the "rogue" MSN, which relies on Microsoft's operating system and implements bundled installations, has lost its combat effectiveness under this combination of punches. Of course, Microsoft still has not given up controlling SkyEye Networks. It has begun to focus on the high-end enterprise market.
Moreover, TT is still working hard to develop the online game market, such as the TT game platform in closed beta testing. Although it may be suspected of online gambling, it is a good product that can attract a large number of users for TT.
The only one that failed might be the mini-blog site that also belongs to SkyEye Network, which has basically become a private place for star fans.
After meeting Diane Feinstein, Josie had lunch with SkyEye Network's chief financial officer, El Kayser, her former assistant who now looks like a business elite. The white shirts are all hand-made high-end goods.
Now who can see that he came from the bottom of Hell's Kitchen?
Thank you John Triest, thank you Frank Horton.
But most importantly, Josie completely changed his life.
El looked at the elegant and quiet young woman in front of him, and asked, "So, what are you going to do?"
They just talked about Ms. Diane Feinstein's advice, as well as the relationship between Sky Screen Capital's infighting and that Mr. Underwood.
"Me? I don't know yet." Josie took a sip of lemonade. "What I can do now is to gather my team together and listen to their opinions."
"Is your lawyer trustworthy?" Al frowned subconsciously.
Before that, Josie was put together by that Jimmy who ran away, leaving a big mess.
So she later entrusted the company's legal business to a big law firm with expensive fees but better reputation, but because of the special nature of her profession, her entertainment lawyer in Hollywood was another one.
"His name is Harvey Spector, a barrister at a top Manhattan firm, and he has solved many problems for me during my working period." Having said this, Josie smiled, "And they always covet the eyes of the sky Networks are taking the cake from M&A or IPO plans, so they've been very aggressive."
El paused, and said, "Many people think that it should be within two years at most."
"That's their business, no one can shake me." Josie was noncommittal, looking down at her fingertips, "I'm more curious now, isn't America Online busy with the merger and acquisition plan? Why do you still have the energy to deal with it?" Our small workshops are chasing after them."
