Chapter 595

In the later period of his career, Johnny Carson was particularly fond of making fun of political and business celebrities with acrimonious words, or making up stories to take personal revenge, which offended many people. As soon as he left the TV screen, he was immediately unearthed a lot of black material.

The most talked about by the outside world is his poor business ability. As a well-known popular talk show host, he can make a lot of money, but driven by his arrogant personality, his investment is extremely irrational.

In the 1970s, he was fooled into investing in DMC by the youngest general motors executive at that time. Under the circumstances that the local auto giants in the United States were all beaten up by their books, he, delonine and another good friend raised a total of $80 million. In 75 years, the company bucked the market, and only in 78 years did he get a subsidy of $120 million from the British government to subsidize Northern Ireland, which is rampant with Republican Army activities It was built, put into operation in 81, and went bankrupt in 82. It burned more than 200 million yuan and produced only 9000 cars

He also invested in a large fast-food chain, which ended in bankruptcy.

After losing the competition with gambling tycoon Wayne Newton in Las Vegas in the 1980s, he was so angry that he made up a short story on his program to disgust each other. Fortunately, he was a very well-known public figure, otherwise he would have been dumped in a corner of the Nevada desert.

In his media industry, he once owned two TV stations, one of which was the predecessor of fox5, which was sold in 1985 and the other in 86, but he was able to retain a small amount of shares. There are also some radio stations that are selling at 7788.

Other small investment failures, such as purchasing the adaptation rights of cat and mouse game novels, were even more. The only project that made money was his clothing brand of the same name, specializing in high collar sweaters. However, that was also because he had been wearing clothes and goods for a long time in the program and relying on his personal influence to drive the American people to follow suit.

"I'm in good health."

Of course, he did not come to song ya to visit him. Instead, he made a phone call and asked him to visit his mansion in bamburke, California.

"It's just that everyone can't stand me, including NBC."

He could see clearly that at the other end of the long dining table, the handsome white man with a smile on his face was a little self-conscious. He laughed at himself while dealing with the steak on the plate. "The physical reason is that they give me a decent face, which can save a lot of trouble."

"I remember nine 1992? I was so excited when I first learned that I was going to be on your show. " Song Ya complimented.

"I worked with you?" After all, nearly 70 years old, Johnny Carson had a blank look on his face.

"I was very unlucky. It was jerno who took your place." Song Ya said.

"Oh..."

They chatted a few words, he asked song Ya for the latest version of the cat and mouse game script, put on the presbyopia glasses and looked at it on the table.

"May I venture to ask, how did you know that I wanted to restart this project?" Song Ya took the opportunity to inquire.

"A friend told me."

He didn't identify the source. "The agents of young actors all think this is an opportunity. Abagnier's experience is legendary. Getting this single actor with high IQ will be very beneficial to their career development, eh? You changed him into a double man? "

"It's not as bad as it is. It has greatly improved the role of FBI agent male two. High IQ cheaters also need high IQ opponents, don't they?" Song Ya asked.

"It's OK. I prefer the first edition of the script that I just got the right to adapt."

He looked nostalgic. "At that time, I had a high passion for creation, and I stayed up all night, just to write a good story about a legendary liar..."

Nagging said a lot, "but it's OK. After all, it's not good to present a perfect liar in the movie. Have you dealt with that abagnel?"

"I haven't contacted him yet." Song Ya replied.

"Ha, that guy will definitely blackmail another sum of money from you." Johnny Carson laughed.

"I'm prepared."

Song Ya knows that this can't be avoided. Although the adaptation right of the novel belongs to Hollywood film industry, it's not good for the original author to jump out and make trouble when the movie is announced. After all, there are not many projects like Forrest Gump who fall out with the original author and still get big sales. More often in Hollywood, the crew falls into a fight with the original author, and then the wind is deflected and the box office suffers losses.

"Well, that guy knows the art of trading, and he won't blackmail you too much." Johnny Carson closed the script. "I want to invest in the show."

"Welcome." Song Ya smiles.

"Er..."

The old man seemed to expect that song Ya agreed so readily, "you don't really think I'm the kind of blind investor in the legend of the outside world? If you want to pit my money, I'll say you've got the wrong idea... "

"Me? Haha, I'm just a newcomer to Hollywood. "

Song Ya said with a smile, "I'm afraid I don't know about Hollywood yet. Listen to yelemov, you and Mr. Roy Disney have a good personal relationship, right?""Of course, I've helped the Disney family a lot." The old man replied triumphantly.

It's hard to go bankrupt when he's so popular. After all, he's just making reckless investments, but his tactics are not radical. If he fails, he can accept compensation and leave the market obediently. He never takes the road of high loan and high leverage.

Before he came to banburke, Songya knew that even though he had spent hundreds of millions of dollars, the old man could still be carefree by publishing books in his early years. There were still three cents in a rotten boat. He was not very poor and extravagant. He was still a multimillionaire at least. As one of the most popular TV presenters in the 1970s and 1980s, he even influenced the popular support of the American people, which was inevitably accompanied by the public relations behavior of various political and commercial forces all the year round. It is unnecessary to say much about the depth of his contacts, although his big mouth didn't mean to offend many people.

"I want the power to change the script."

However, the old man may be very satisfied with song Ya's respect and immediately began to be a demon.

"Well, I'll take your amendment into consideration." Song Ya declined.

"Play word games with me? Boy Before you appeared in this world, I just

"Mr. Carson, I'm a good investor. You can trust me." Song Ya interrupted him with a smile.

"Ha! The pig on the tuyere, isn't it

The old man was embarrassed by his investment in the past. When it comes to investment, it is the pain in his heart forever, "go and sit there."

By leaving the table, the two ended their discussion.

"Pay attention to your health. The doctor told you not to read for a long time."

His fourth wife came to snatch the script in his hand and put it on the table. Her attitude was not very good. Because of the previous divorce lawsuit, he now has to bear the living expenses of an ex-wife of $6000 a month, while another ex-wife has taken away 20 million yuan of divorce compensation from him. It is said that now this man has strictly forbidden him to take money and invest recklessly, otherwise his legacy will not be left much.

"It's OK, honey. I don't watch it. You keep talking about aplus."

"What I'm worried about is distribution, you know, Hollywood publishers are very annoying."

The main purpose of song Yala's entry into the board is to borrow his personal relationship with Roy Disney and his residual influence in the media. It's rare to have an intersection with such an old media person who has already started his retirement life. This opportunity should be grasped.

"I know, I know, I'll talk to Roy about it." He nodded.

They fell into silence. After his wife left, he asked again, "I can make up a story. After retirement, I have saved a lot to add to the script."

"The story Well, I have no opinion in principle, as long as the paragraph is good enough. " Song Ya knows that he has now fallen into the remembrance and unwillingness of hosting career, and has not refused again.

Then they stopped talking.

The old man thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "aplus, how did you make a hundred million dollars out of Dow's hands?"

"Just Just sell them the factory under my name... "

Song Ya was a little uncomfortable with the old man's sharp eyes. "In fact, I don't have to make money. Do you know the popular way to help with fluorescent sticks? It's a big market. "

"Did Dow do anything to you?" Asked the old man.

"Well, of course, some."

"I knew it, I knew it!" The old man beat the armrest of the sofa, "they are not honest, very dishonest, when the agent orange incident..."

Half way through, he stopped in time, and then there was nothing to talk about.

"How much would you invest in the cat and mouse game?" Song Ya broke the silence.

"I haven't thought about it yet."

The old man looked carefully at the direction of his wife's departure. "Talk to my lawyer. We'll keep in touch through him."
