Chicago 1990

Chapter 1385: Underdog

"Lot 88 comes from APLUS! This is a signing gift that APLUS received when signing with Athens Watch in 1998. It is carefully crafted and unique and exclusive to his blacksmith's minute repeater watch. The doll is used by the Swiss gold eagle master in 18K. Made of gold, the dial is black...Thank you APLUS!"

Hollywood, Song Ya and Halle appeared at a charity auction site. The gameplay was probably that the celebrities participating in the event each donated a piece of idle jewelry, and the auction proceeds were given to charity.

The celebrities sell things and bid with each other. Today’s one is considered the top class, everyone has to face it. What they bring out is expensive and wears commemorative good goods in a certain movie or a certain important occasion. There are also actresses who donated a complete set of original European court costumes.

After the auctioneer finished showing the watch, he stretched out his hand to signal to the audience, the spotlight was shining just right, Song Ya sat up straight and nodded with a smile, waved and greeted in a circle under the collective attention of the auction hall.

"The starting price is..."

Then there was nothing to be verbose, and went directly to the auction session. After the spotlight left, Song Ya cast an inquiring look at David Geffen, who was sitting on the other side in the distance.

Fu Sandai did not appear at the scene. There was an empty seat for him in the first row, and his female companion was already sitting next to him, but he just didn't see anyone else.

David Geffen shook his head slightly to indicate that he didn't know, then turned his head to look on the stage, and was the first to show up.

My own watch seems to be very popular among Hollywood male stars, and perhaps everyone is convinced by the vision of David Geffen, who is famous for his art collection, and soon he raised his placards one after another.

Song Ya is not in the mood to stare at these trivial things. David Geffen is arrested by Call and came to Los Angeles to show off his face, but the target person is not there? He was more upset, frowning and whispering to Hallie next to him: "The male villain of Operation Swordfish is John Travolta? The box office of the Earth Battlefield he drew last week was terrible... I heard that Warner changed his mind again. Up?"

Hallie has just accepted the heroine of Operation Swordfish, and the original project has entered the script meeting of the main creators, but John Travolta has just pitted Warner’s 70 million investment in Battlefield Earth and even dared to claim that the sequel to Battlefield Earth has been announced. In the plan, Warner was so angry that he quickly refuted the rumors and simply took advantage of the situation to freeze the Swordfish Operation Project.

"What are we doing with their hearts? The Earth Battlefield was adapted by the founder of Scientology, and the funds are probably drawn from Scientology. John Travolta is not low in status, and Warner has not lost as much as the outside rumors. ."

Halle replied indifferently: "Anyway, Blade Warrior 2 is also issued by Warner. The box office of the Earth Battlefield is not good for us."

"I didn't mean that."

I can follow the path of AOL Time Warner Group CEO Steve Case, and the subsidiary Warner Pictures takes care of filming and other things. It’s not a problem at all. "You really plan to enter the group filming the Requiem of Dreams after filming Operation Swordfish. Song? I was planning for next year’s awards season..."

"I signed the contract..."

This time, Halle cut it first and played it later. It is estimated that he could not resist the high pay temptation offered by Warner. "I have seen the script, the typical blockbuster films of 007 and Mission Impossible model commercial action, which are more beneficial to my career."

"Hehe, you..."

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! After getting the watch he donated, Yaoyao smiled and gave a handsome military salute.

Song Ya also smiled at him and applauded and congratulated Hallie.

When he waited for a lot of gemstone necklaces from the old DIVA Cher, Song Ya planned to take it and give it to Halle, not wanting to face up with the 20 million club actor Nicolas Cage, who is famous for his extravagance.

"No need..." Halle unexpectedly grabbed his arm and tried to stop it.

"What? I have lost a lot, but I can still afford this kind of gadget." Although the thoughtful Hallie is very heartwarming, as a man, I don't like to be sympathized by women at this time.

"No, really don't..." Hallie insisted.

If you don't want to give it to you, then forget it, I'm still saving money hum, Song Ya no longer holds the card, and the necklace was finally taken down by Nicholas Cage.

There were a few second-tier celebrities in the back row with joking laughter. Some big celebrities, such as Liangtang and their female companions, and Mission Impossible 2 heroine Sandy Newton's gaze also seemed to be interesting, as if I was ridiculing a pig who used to be proud and mad, and now has a huge loss of 4 billion and can't afford a necklace.

Song Ya didn't bother to care about this. The Hollywood star group said that the average quality was really poor. From the corner of his eye, he just saw David Geffen just getting up and leaving the meeting.

"Is he away?"

The two met in a remote place outside, and Song Ya asked.

"Don't worry, it will be there. Today there will be artworks donated by him." David Geffen said don't worry, but his expression was obviously more caring than himself. He originally came up with this idea, and he kept looking. Look at the entrance passage of the auction hall.

Song Ya rolled his eyes, "Then I have to wait now?"

"Well, wait, I'll go back first, wait a while... Anyway, we better not be seen by most people getting together in the near future. We will find the opportunity to meet again during the following dinner..."

David Geffen asked a few words about the IPO of modern photography and stereo review sites and ran away.

"This old Gay..."

It's like a spy sneaking on the streets! Song Ya cursed in her heart, but she had to delay the time alone to diverge from the point of time when David Geffen appeared. At this time, Xue Linfen found Yeremov on his arm, and the two of them were sitting on the outside of herself and Hallie just now.

"Should I go back to Mirana when the auction is over? I prepared a party for you over there." Xue Linfen did not show off her identity as a producer today. She was dressed in evening gowns like other women, well-dressed, blonde plus snow Skin, decent and attractive.

"Well, but you may not be able to go back right away."

Xue Linfen should take the initiative to prepare a super hedonistic party for herself this time. Song Ya can guess it, but since she and Mila want to surprise themselves, it is inconvenient to pierce them. They raised their hands and looked at the watch. Just David Geffin said If we meet again at the dinner, then at least we have to show up, "Anyway, I'll talk about it later..."

"When you left, many people were whispering, they said..." Xue Linfen complained a little annoyed.

"I know, I know what weird things those people will say."

It is nothing more than Hollywood's usual snobbery. Song Ya can guess what people will point to him behind the scenes to stop Xue Linfen from speaking. He doesn't want to hear Xue Linfen repeat it again, which simply affects his mood.

"Cough." Yeremov coughed suddenly, reminding with a dazzling look.

"Hahaha!"

Song Ya then heard the hearty laughter of the rich three generations. He was accompanied by the former Paramount chairman and his close business partner Barry Diller, striding into the auction room with Meteor Stars walking towards the auction room.

He and Barry Diller saw themselves at the same time.

It was an opportunity. Unfortunately, the place where David Geffin and David Geffen had just found was too far from the door. Song Ya immediately acted with her upper body, put her hands in her trouser pockets, straightened her body, and stared at each other arrogantly.

"Come on, slap me in the face! Come on, slap me in the face!" he cried to himself in his heart.

But this time the rich three generations seemed to have changed their sex, Yaoyao still sneered with disdain, and then turned his head to continue talking to Barry Diller, the pace did not stop at all.

"Boss, there is no need to take the initiative to provoke this kind of neurosis."

Yeremov, who was unknown, persuaded him.

"Yes." Xue Linfen also agreed. She noticed that Song Ya's expression became very serious, and her heart was on her face again, and she stretched out her hand and stroked the man's arm distressedly.

"It's okay, let's go in too."

Song Ya’s troubles are of course completely different from their guesses. According to David Geffen’s contemplation of the three generations of the rich, at this time, if you meet yourself at this time, there is a high probability that you will not be able to resist a few words in person, but today is it uncharacteristically? Uncharacteristically on the eve of the merger of Vivendi Global?

Is our revenge plan really exposed? Is this some information spied? Although this information is the last thing the Avengers want to see.

"Don't be impulsive, Peter Flock and Gore talked about it. Although his net worth has shrunk, his influence in Washington is not low. It is at the critical time of our merger card approval. We must absolutely avoid everything. The possibility of extra-nodal branches."

In fact, Song Ya was too suspicious, and it was the critical moment of trying to figure out each other and beware of each other. After Barry Diller took the seat with the little Bronfman, he also whispered in his ear to persuade.

"I don't bother to care about him."

To be honest, after so many experiences, the young Bronfman has indeed grown up, more mature and stable than before, and after knowing that Song Ya lost a huge loss of 4 billion, he was very relieved, and his mentality became better without knowing it. Replied to the aloofness of the noble son in the past.

The most important thing is that he really doesn't have the slightest confidence that Battle will win the opponent face to face.

He and Barry Diller were already in the second half of the charity auction. They were stuck with their donated artwork. An oil painting was there when the auction was on stage. When the spotlight came on, he also showed a standard smile and accepted the auctioneer. Compliment.

David Geffen raised the placard and made a previously agreed action, so Song Ya also raised the placard, and if it didn't work once, he gave a face to someone for the second time.

"APLUS offers 1.3 million, is there any further increase? 1.3 million for the first time..."

At this time, someone raised a placard, "Best soup 1.35 million, 1.35 million...APLUS 1.4 million! Pretty soup..." The auctioneer said in a very fast and enthusiastic atmosphere.

"One and a half million!" Liangtang said loudly.

Song Ya saw David Geffen touching his chin, so he stopped following, and glanced at the people around Liangtang. Today his wife Nicole is not there.

"One and a half million once, twice, three times! Okay, this picture was taken by Mr. Tom Cruise!" The auctioneer dropped the hammer heavily.

At the same time, he could feel the flamboyant gazes of other stars coming over again, and Song Ya's expressionless face curled his lips.

The last lot today is a diamond necklace from the collection of Yupo Elizabeth Taylor. This auction was held by a charitable organization that has been cooperating with her for a long time. Unexpectedly, Halle was suddenly excited, holding her arms to encourage her, "This is so beautiful, this is so beautiful... It's so beautiful..."

Yes, I blamed you. I thought it was thoughtful to stop me from taking Xueer's necklace before...

Song Ya was complaining, and the rich three generations slowly raised their cards.

Other celebrities also raised their placards one after another, Song Ya also raised their placards, and only two people were fighting when it reached more than three million.

"Mr. APLUS 3.5 million, 3.5 million...Mr. Bronfman 3.6 million...Mr. APLUS 3.7 million, Mr. Bronfman? Mr. Bronfman four million!"

By this time, Hallie had already felt that something was wrong, and her arm in her arm began to pull down again, "Forget it, forget it...this necklace is not worth the money, at most...two million."

"4.5 million!" Song Ya shouted out according to David Geffin's secret command.

"Puff..." Fu Sandai smiled suddenly and put the sign on his lap.

"Mr. APLUS 4.5 million for the first time! Is there any price increase!? The second time for 4.5 million... The third time! Okay! It's yours, Mr. APLUS!"

The rich three generations glanced at Barry Diller beside him triumphantly, lowered his head and covered his mouth, Barry Diller also silently smirked.

Hollywood stars are the most observant, the big boss of the Global Department is the focus of the audience, and he immediately applauds hypocritically and laughs like him.

Song Ya felt that his performance was shown to the blind, and the rich three generations never looked back. After the auction ended, they shook hands and exchanged greetings with Liangtang and others who had greeted them in the past.

"Your kind deeds will be on the front page of the media."

There was a bit of chaos at the scene. Song Ya ignored the compliments of the auction staff who hinted that he was going to sign the documents. He watched the chance of the rich three generations passing by nearby. He led Hallie forward and offered to extend his hand, "Sorry Mr. Bronfman, Let you go home empty-handed today."

Halle turned to look at the face of the man next to her, and at the same time concealed her surprised emotions well. She felt that this was not like the behavior that a man she knew would do.

"Congratulations, APLUS."

What is even more unexpected is that the rich three generations are very tolerant this time, and generously stretched out their hands to hold back, although it was the kind of touch, "I'm okay, I can't help it when I am late."

How are you...how...

This is not right! You are so wrong! Shouldn't I be taken advantage of by ridiculing me in the public?

This is not you, crazy and rich three generations!

Song Ya was stunned. He didn't know for a moment and forgot to answer the conversation. He looked at the back of the rich three generations who passed by and walked farther and farther.

"Haha..." Jingtang patted him on the shoulder in a daze, said nothing, and followed Sandy Newton all the way.

Sandy Newton would naturally not forget to smile at Hallie with a meaningful smile.

"What were you doing just now?" Halle asked in a puzzled way. "You weren't so naive before. It's understandable to fight for the limelight on such occasions, but afterwards you still go to the other side to openly confront the other side? Don't tell me that I am in New York and Summer. Kira's thing is true."

"It's true, and I've always been so naive..." Song Ya replied quietly.

"Damn it! Didn't he really notice something?"

David Geffen, who saw everything in his eyes, was completely panicked. When he met at the next dinner party, he chattered and speculated, "How much does he know? I can't reveal... Could it be that Underwood betrayed both of us?"

"What did you talk to him just now?" Song Ya also saw David Geffin had a few words with the rich three generations before.

"Nothing to talk about, just ordinary greetings, he is also very cold to me, very cold..."

David Geffen recalled, "I can feel the self-confidence that he exudes, the invincible self-confidence, this time, we are done, I can smell the danger, there must be a trap in France next month... Damn it, enter the second In year zero, I hardly encountered a thing that went well!"

"Not that exaggerated David."

Song Ya suppressed the urge to roll her eyes, "You don't want to quit, do you?"

"Is it too late? Uh... I didn't mean that, but we have to try again, he is over there..."

There were more guests at the dinner, and the grades were also lowered. Many celebrities and senior people behind the scenes can also get admission tickets. David Geffen spoke to the rich three generations who are sitting and talking with the Jade Po deity on the other side of the banquet hall. Encouraged, "Maybe we didn't give him enough stimulation? Anyway, I have to rely on you. APLUS...Go!"

"I feel that he has a psychological advantage over me now. Once he has a psychological advantage over others, he won't care about some verbal offenses..."

Song Ya was disturbed by his gaffe. The two and the Tiger Fund, a total of several hundred million euros, had already been set up in France, and he still had more than two billion dollars to withdraw from the stock market. Money is used as a reserve fund, and the original plan is to use leverage with a high probability...

I have been carefully planning for so long, I really don't want to shrink back when things happen!

But David Geffen's sense of danger from a self-made rich man? You still have to believe this thing!

Song Ya gritted his teeth, it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

Anyway, try again for the last time! He bit his head and was about to find a way to provoke the rich for the third time, but David Geffen suddenly stopped him, "Don't be so direct. If my suspicion is not established, you will be stunned like this. We have to talk about some strategy this time. APLUS."

Strategy?

Song Ya groaned, just when Xue Linfen was leading Jennifer Connelly hand in hand, his eyes suddenly brightened. After studying for so long and rich for three generations, he should have some experience in understanding his character, right?

"Xue Lin, you go... this way... this way..." He whispered to Xue Linfen by the opportunity of a hug.

"Why? Not so good..." Xue Linfen was also puzzled by his command.

"Let you go, don't ask so much! This time the acting is better." Song Ya roughly held her hesitating on her shoulder, and pushed it away 180 degrees.

"Hi..."

Jennifer Connery thought Song Ya wanted to be alone with herself, greeted him happily, and then clasped the man's arm expertly, "Mr. Geffen."

"Yeah." David Geffen nodded his head and sneaked to the right place to observe in secret.

"Why come to this event suddenly?"

It just so happened that Jennifer Connelly immediately expressed his concern: "There are many boring people in Hollywood laughing at you behind their backs. I just heard..."

"I'll come to expose it with Hallie. Blade Warrior 2 is going to be released." Song Ya also didn't want to hear her retelling, staring fixedly at Xue Linfen who was holding the wine glass, and entangled with Xue Linfen, who was approaching the rich three generations. chat?"

"Okay." Jennifer Connery stood tall and walked with the men among the colorful crowds. Some people looked at sarcastically, and some took the initiative to greet, greet, introduce themselves, please...

Song Ya dealt with them absently.

"We should go now, take a good night's rest, and fly to Washington tomorrow to remind the department over there."

At this time, the rich three generations had just finished their communication with Yu Po, Barry Diller persuaded.

"Don't worry, I know it in my heart." Little Bronfman was kind, he just got up, "Huh?"

Xue Linfen also saw that he was leaving, and mustered the courage to stop the way head on, "Hello Mr. Bronfman."

"Hello there."

He has better demeanor and patience with women, although in front of him is the former **** star who has given birth to APLUS several children, "Ms. Finn, right?"

"Yes, ha ha... uh..." Xue Linfen was so nervous that her body was shaking slightly, her words stuttered, "Uh..."

"What's the matter?" Little Bronfman asked with a smile.

"That's it. I have a very good award-winning project in my hand. It is a film adapted from the Requiem of Dreams, uh... uh, because the heroine Hallie accepted the film contract for Operation Swordfish, the project stalled. I think you are interested in Universal Pictures? My project has the potential to be in the awards season next year..."

What Song Ya taught Xue Linfen said.

"Ha!" Little Bronfman almost let out a laugh, first glanced at Barry Diller next to him, and wondered if the women from APLUS wanted to jump off the boat? But you don’t accept this attitude. Who do you think you are? Are you worthy to talk to me for business? A **** **** star who gave birth to Nger!

After all, he restrained his temper and maintained his demeanor with a smile: "Ms. Finn, you may not know. I never ask these little things. If you want to cooperate, go to Ron Meyer, President of Universal Pictures, you Is there his contact information, right?"

"Didn't this happen to meet you." Xue Linfen said with a pleased smile: "My project is very good...Would you like to read the script first?"

"Okay, okay, I don't have time to be wasted by you."

Little Bronfman couldn't stand it any longer, and interrupted impatiently, "Goodbye..." He changed his disgusting face, and then stuffed the wine glass into Xue Linfen's hand, but he still didn't succumb, "Babymama..." So I added another sentence.

This word has another meaning, which is a metaphor for women who give birth to celebrities or rich children and live on alimony. They are extremely insulting in certain contexts, such as now.

The three generations of rich voices were not too small, and the good people around immediately cast their mocking gazes. Xue Linfen turned pale with anger at the time, standing in embarrassment with two glasses of wine in her hand.

"What did you call her just now?!"

Before the people heard the words, the crowd separated, and Song Ya appeared with cannibalistic eyes, "Apologize to her Mr. Bronfman."

"cut!"

Bronfman sneered, trying to avoid the entanglement.

His reaction made Song Ya feel cold again, "I said to apologize to her!" The tall body moved to the side to continue blocking the opponent's path, and his tone became more serious.

"Pay attention to the occasion, APLUS, this is not New York where you are going crazy!" Barry Diller touched Song Ya's chest with his index finger and warned in a deep voice, "Let's go to Edgar, this kid is already crazy."

"Don't stay here..." Xue Linfen also tearfully persuaded, but she couldn't move.

Little Bronfman was pushed forward by Barry Diller. Suddenly, he took a deep breath and refused to move. "I said APLUS, who do you think you are?"

Barry Diller couldn’t persuade him anymore, he turned around, his face was full of disdain, "Who is the last laugh? Do I have to humiliate you again in front of so many people? You are with Silicon Valley in Nass. The dregs of Duck’s frothy money, who gave you the courage to talk to me like this? Huh? You...you Luthor, do you remember our bet?"

David Geffen in the distance saw this scene, and his frowned brows instantly stretched out.

"and so?"

Song Yashen did not see David Geffin clearly in this mountain. Now that he succeeded in arguing, he continued according to his inertia, "Yes, I lost four billion yuan, but I am still too early to go bankrupt! And you, run all the property." It has to be sold to the French..."

"That's a merger! You don't understand the merger, you layman!"

Little Bronfman became more and more furious, "You, a loser who relied on luck to invest in Internet concept stocks stupidly, when the bubble blows, you will swell endlessly. Now that the bubble has blown, you still don’t know how to clip your tail? Don’t worry, wait. I will take care of you when I have time!"

Barry Diller, whose own ticket booking website also plummeted, rubbed his bald awkwardly next to him.

"Oh? I'll wait and see, when?" Song Ya looked around at the melon-eating people around him, raising his arms to mock him, looking through the other party's stern words just to get away.

"Quickly, don't worry."

Song Ya is very good at inciting the emotions of the onlookers, but the young Bronfman knows that he is a big weakness in this respect, and regrets it a bit.

"Be careful, he may be trying to motivate you to say discriminatory words." Barry Diller warned in his ear again.

The little Bronfman immediately awoke and paid more attention to his words, "A defeated dog, a poor worm who can't afford to lose, four billion left you and went crazy here from New York. This is Hollywood! Not where you go crazy! You be careful! point!"

"What? Are you going to use the tricks of a bootlegger on me? Come on!"

This guy repeatedly mentioned the four billion mothers that had evaporated, Song Ya was also a little bit up, the veins violently violently slapped his chest and shouted: "I was riding five shots and six holes by the white man without frowning. !"

"APLUS!"

It's not very good to make a noise about each other's elders. David Geffen appeared and stopped at the right time, "You are drunk! Get out of here, get out of here!"

"Mr. Geffen, he..."

"Let's go, Xuelin, send him home..." David Geffen was laughing wildly in his heart, acting as a peacemaker and pushing Song Ya.

Song Ya calmed down and was obediently pushed out of the battle circle by him.

"Hehe, this poor worm."

A loud sneer from the young Bronfman came from behind, and the powerful Hollywood people once again agreed with him and laughed, and many people were laughing.

Song Ya couldn't help laughing, his heart was burning with flames.

When there is no doubt, let that crazy cry call Dad next month!

Do not! I am not as shameless as his son!

"Thanks David." Little Bronfman thanked David Geffen.

"Little things..." David Geffen replied.

"Don't give up on APLUS because of this setback."

Jennifer Connelly, who was carefully thrown away by Song Ya before, stared at the eyes of countless people and chased to comfort him. Song Ya did not respond, strode out of the banquet hall and walked to the parking place. She and Xue Linfen silently followed behind. Go, Halle, who had been to socialize with other people before, also came over.

The high heels kicked and stomped in the aisle.

"AK!" At this moment, a black voice shouted.

AK? Gun or nickname? If it is called a nickname, isn't AK killed early?

Song Ya was so scared that she shrank her neck and turned her head back, and saw a black girl rushing towards her, followed by a young black man.

"Hey!" The black girl was stopped by the muffler and other bodyguards, "APLUS, you were great just now! You are the idol of all of us, hold on! Hold on! You will definitely win!" She shouted very passionately.
