Chapter 1461

"Did you hear that? UMA Thurman refused to be shared with Harvey by Quentin Tarantino, so Quentin forced her to drive an old car at 40 mph in the forest path of the Mexican studio during the shooting of Bill 2... As a result, she really hit a tree! UMA Thurman almost died!"

Charles put her head on the man's chest and opened eight Hollywood anecdotes excitedly.

"It's impossible. UMA Thurman killed Bill 2. What if something happens to her halfway? I know Harvey. No matter what, he won't be unhappy with money..."

Songya shook her head. Although all kinds of strange rumors are flying in Hollywood because the king of awards is becoming more and more arrogant, as a successful film company boss, Harvey is not going to murder the female owner halfway through his project. "Besides, UMA Thurman gave birth to two children to his father-in-law Ethan hawk..."

"It's said that her marriage with Ethan Hawk has died in name, isn't it? Haley..."

Charlice hoped to get Haley's approval and looked to the other side of the man. Haley had fallen asleep with her clothes on her arm.

They have just returned from the Oscar nomination dinner, and the three have not had time to change their expensive dresses and evening clothes.

Haley has been very busy and tired recently. After the Oscar Award and 007's death at the box office, a few days ago, she took advantage of the opportunity to hold a marathon negotiation with Warner and signed a contract for the superhero film "cat girl". Warner generously gave her what she wanted.

This made her the most powerful actress in Hollywood. There was only Julia Roberts in front of her.

She also holds the title of Hollywood stock god and People magazine's most beautiful face in the world, with countless top endorsements.

Charlice and the man happily held their breath and listened to Hallie's uniform snoring for a while. Charlice wrapped around the man's neck, kissed each other's cheek sincerely, and then continued to be so tired.

Although the cause of UMA Thurman's driving injury on the set is not necessarily related to Harvey, she is still very glad that she resisted Harvey's temptation and chose to go back to the man. Although it cost a lot, it's at least better than being randomly shared by Harvey and the rotten people around Harvey

"This one?"

Amy Adams came out of the cloakroom in a black evening dress and made a light turn. Mira followed to help sort out the corners of her skirt.

"Emmm..." charlice felt uncomfortable.

"You are not suitable for this kind of black semi transparent Amy..." Song Ya said.

"What did I say?" Mira smiled.

"Hum!" Amy expressed her dissatisfaction and went back to the cloakroom with Mira.

Amy officially won the Oscar nomination by her growth education today. She is excitedly trying on her clothes to find inspiration for the dress for the award ceremony in March.

Last year, Harry and this year, Amy, it was the black law's turn to help me in the next round. Charlice secretly longed for it.

With her continuous starring in 50 degrees grey and the wolf of Wall Street, even if her gold absorption ability is not as good as that of Haley, she is also in the forefront of Hollywood actresses. She has just bought a two-story villa in Beverly Hills with her money.

Although it's still not as good as Amy

She looked at Amy's house again.

No way, Amy, they bought it early. Recently, the real estate of Beverly Hills has appreciated sharply.

"Boss, Harvey..."

Then Hayden knocked on the door and shook his cell phone.

Songya carefully took her arm out from under Haley's head and went out to answer the phone. "Harvey, what's the matter?"

Just at the dinner party, I had a long communication with Harvey, David Geffen and others about this academy award. The wolf of Wall Street and growth education of a + entertainment were shortlisted.

At this Oscar, the pianist of Jewish director Polanski, a World War II film destined to take a lot of awards, and the rest of the awards were lined up and divided... It was more nervous. The reputable black Pharaoh personally promised at the dinner that he was willing to take a step back this year. Harvey was naturally very happy and the relationship between the two sides was closer.

He called again. The topic was certainly not to rush the prize. Sure enough, Harvey talked about MJ.

"I can't help it. There are too many African American employees at ACN and ace. I can't say hello one by one."

Although they promised that the "harm alliance" would not support MJ, ACN and ACE could not always pretend to be deaf and dumb in the face of the surging public opinion they created, "the hotter you fry, the less likely it is for me not to respond... Otherwise it would be too strange."

Even if he didn't plan to help MJ, Songya really couldn't do 100% prohibition. With Comcast, which monopolized the broadcasting rights of ACN and ACE, acquiring atandt's cable TV network last year, there was an instant smooth road in front of the two TV stations, and both welcomed a great opportunity to expand the number of subscribers, The following editors and anchors can't turn a blind eye to MJ's case.

"I understand."

Harvey can't help being reasonable. We all know that many of the black employees of ACN and ACE, especially those of the same ethnic group, are firmly on the side, "but the hosts of ACN must act together."

"That's no problem. In short, the sooner the better," Song Ya said deliberately.

As Gordon left to go into politics, the remaining two white anchors of ACN: McAvoy and Joan Stewart were very disgusted with the suspected sexual assault of minors by R Kelly and MJ.

"OK, next month."

Harvey reported a rough time, but did not disclose the specific content, "about Valentine's Day..."

"OK, anyway, I'll wait for the news."

Songya hangs up and returns Hayden's cell phone.

"Do you want al to find another way to inform MJ?" Hayden asked.

"No."

MJ is not in Los Angeles. He can't find the opportunity to send al to Elizabeth Taylor's house as he did last time. For the people and friends around MJ, Songya feels that only Elizabeth Taylor is reliable and can't be 100% safe. He won't take risks. "I can't be distracted. I have my war to fight."

"As the Valentine's Day season is approaching, beats Walkman has suddenly disappeared into supermarkets and appliance stores such as Wal Mart and best buy. Donna Dubinski, the former CEO of palm and the current CEO of beats, accused at the press conference that this was because some dealers did not comply with the previous contract between the two sides in the store: strictly maintain the selling price and give beats a separate display space for all products in the store... "

"Donna Dubinsky said: beats will not come back until some dealers solve this problem. She also assured customers that beats Walkman can be bought from other dealers, such as Gamestop, blockbuster and other chain stores, and the supply is still sufficient. "

This is different from the last six major forced supermarkets to maintain resale prices. Beats's separate action is not qualified, which is defined as monopoly.

"They plan to take advantage of the insufficient supply of Valentine's day cycle to carry out hunger marketing. Aplus often does this in the record industry. He is an old hand and smart enough."

Ron Johnson, who is in charge of Direct stores in the conference room of Apple headquarters, frowned after watching the news: "if we don't do anything, we will see a long dragon in front of the Gamestop door..."

"In March, their hard disk supply shortage will ease," cook, who is in charge of the supply chain, added.

"Are we going to do something? No."

Jobs is the only king in the conference room. He has already firmly controlled the company and the board of directors. Even the shares sold before in order to become CEO, he got back 7.5 million shares in 2001 through his own option award. He just expired at the beginning of this year and did not exercise his power.

He asked himself and answered, "is beats' response beautiful? It's barely enough, but I can accept that when the media began to hype the data of the sharp decline in beats Walkman sales in February to confirm that they have failed in the competition, I'd like to see aplus's expression at that time."

The participants laughed, but he was still depressed like a bitter monk. "Hasn't Warner records agreed to add their copyright library to the iTunes music store?"

"Yes, Terry Messer, former joint CEO of Warner, is now the CEO of Yahoo. He wants to get goto search engine from aplus. There are not many choices in the market and there is not much time left for Yahoo."

Now both apple and jobs agree that the recording industry has returned to the six times, but Polaroid has been replaced by Disney Records. According to the analysis of his subordinates in charge of relevant affairs, "Warner pictures may also have made a heavy bet on Hollywood a +..."

"Tell Warner records that we will launch iTunes on time in March. If they haven't signed the contract at that time, we will change the logo at the press conference from six to five. If they don't hesitate to be found by fans that they can't buy Madonna in iTunes at that time, they don't hesitate to sit and watch the explosive growth of the other five with the help of iTunes... It's up to them."

"OK."

His subordinates nodded and obeyed. The boss planned to compete with the senior management of Warner records. Those senior managers should not be able to withstand such great pressure of public opinion, performance and so on.

"Then we launched the third generation iPod on time in April," Jobs said.

"All pricing unchanged?"

The pricing and parameters related to iTunes and the third-generation iPod are Apple's top internal trade secrets. Even some of today's participants are confused. The relevant person in charge can only ask the boss roughly.

"Unchanged, we are destined to change the world. Let beats eat ash behind them."

Jobs paused and turned to ask cook, "how long does it take for all our PC product lines to remove 3dfx chips?"

"NV and ATI assured me that capacity could be filled at any time," cook reported.

After years of competition, there are only three top tier consumer display chip manufacturers left. Apple's IMAC adopts NV chips, as well as high-end laptops. Some servers and laptops that do not need high-performance graphics cards use ATI, and only powermacintosh professional desktops and main rendering servers use 3dfx.

"As soon as possible." jobs nodded with satisfaction.

"But beats' new product release cycle has just staggered with us for half a year. They have plenty of time and strength to catch up with us when beats' second-generation Walkman comes out at the end of this year, and achieve anti surpassing in some indicators."

Ron Johnson expressed his concern and proposed: "why not advance the release date of the iPod mini to the end of the year."

"They also spread rumors everywhere..." someone took the opportunity to complain.

"No, our rhythm doesn't need to dance with the pursuers. Half a year is enough for users to develop consumption habits."

In February, on the eve of Valentine's day, Songya, who was tired from his recent intensive work, met with Steve Jobs's loyal fans and the founder of Wired magazine Roseto in the Highland Park study.

"I heard that some board members of 3dfx are dissatisfied with the rapid deterioration of your relationship with apple, resulting in stock price fluctuations?" Roseto asked.

"Because I stepped on Jobs's tail?"

Song Ya showed a confident smile: "ha ha, things have happened. We will fight back."

"You're even planning to launch your own online music store," rossetto said.

"How do you know?" Sonya asked.

"ComeOn, aplus, handspring and beats are digging around Silicon Valley for relevant programmers."

"Er... It's just normal business competition. Apple can't monopolize the online sales of the six major songs."

Song Ya had to answer, "strictly speaking, iTunes music store is only one of the channel providers. They can't prevent other companies from entering this industry. Beats.com has been doing this before."

"But there are few genuine songs sold on beats.com. Have you won the other five besides the Disney department?"

"Are you a spy sent by jobs?"

"Ha ha, of course not."

"You're suspicious..." Sonya Cairo Seto joked.

"Ha ha!"

The black law gives people a very relaxed and complete self-confidence, and there is a kind of domineering as if everything is under control. He boldly joins in the competition with Apple's Walkman... This is the Walkman business! Although the threshold for players in the MP3 era is too low to be compared with the Walkman period when Sony fought with other electronic giants, beats and apple are top players. Roseto can clearly feel that the intensity of the struggle will reach the level of Sony and Panasonic, apple and IBM, apple and Microsoft, Netscape and Microsoft in a very short time.

Word of mouth war, price war, legal war, patent war, channel war, supply chain war and even national industrial policy, diplomacy and legislative war. The influence of those struggles continues to this day. Rosetto doesn't think that the black Pharaoh who likes a hammer in the East and a stick in the West for many years can be competent as the leader of this level war.

Of course, he is not a spy, but even if he is afraid of the Dark Pharaoh's lack of success, he does have some talent for failure. Didn't he toss around Vivendi global with a market value of 100 billion? He turned to be a headache for jobs. In front of the sudden entry of the world's top rich man with beats, even if Apple maintains the huge advantage of the MP3 player market, even if it can win in the end, it must be a disastrous victory. At least the profit margin will be significantly reduced in the next few years

"You indulge your music websites, blogs, TV stations and stereo review magazines to attack wantonly, ridicule the sound quality and various performance of iPod... In the words of an electronic product evaluator: it's a group of mad dogs who don't know anything."

"That's it. You and I both know that they are more excessive and shameless... Don't publish this sentence!"

"Ha ha! Of course not... You know my professional ethics."

In terms of chatting, compared with his idol Steve Jobs, rosetto actually likes to talk with the younger, more frank, more modest and more interesting black law, older and younger.

Song Ya answered the phone and turned on the TV. As expected, after the supply was insufficient but the sales outlets of beats were compressed in time, ACN's lens was given to the long queue at the door of blockbuster.

Rossetto took the opportunity to observe that under the reflection of the small screen, the corners of the mouth of the black Pharaoh had unconsciously bent a little upward, indicating that his heart was proud of it.

He couldn't help but advise: "Apple may just reduce its profit margin. If your beats wants to persist in the fierce business competition, it will become a bottomless hole of gold swallowing, rice knife and bleeding wound."

"That's the same sentence. It's already like this..."

The smile on Song Ya's face stopped and sighed, "think about the four billion I evaporated in the stock disaster, which is not a big scene..."

“……”

Others said this was insane. The black law always said that it was to state the facts. Rosetto was speechless. "Anyway, Happy Valentine's day, aplus." he got up and said goodbye.

"Well... It's strange, but... Well, Happy Valentine's day, Mr. rossetto!"

"Mark..."

Song Yagang didn't tell the truth. After seeing Roseto leave, he dialed Mark Anderson, the founder of Netscape browser and his business partner in 3dfx and other businesses, "did Sean Parker and Sean fanning agree to our solicitation?"

The two Napster founders' companies have been closed down by NCAA with the Digital Millennium act. Last year, they sold the Napster website, which was finally worth some money, to BMG records. Sean Parker and Sean fanning took the money, rolled up the bag and left.

Compared with the original user scale and popularity of Napster, that little money is like sending beggars, but there is no way. Who told them to do piracy business.

Songya doesn't know what the iTunes music store software will look like and what functions it will have, but beats can't catch up in a short time. Even if it is led by a talented programmer at the level of Mark Anderson, it may take six months to repair the bug!

Moreover, whether beats, the new company following the trend, can attract a genius level software architecture and programmer team is also in doubt. After all, software engineering is not a coin operated coke vending machine. If you insert a coin, you can immediately drop the coke.

He could not accept beats, like an ambitious browser version of Netscape in those years, but its leading function was damaged by a bug because it was eager to open up its technical advantages with ie. Jeff Hawkins also warned that half a year was enough to be ignored by consumers who were used to iTunes. Sky high promotion and advertising may not be able to make up for the time gap.

Napster has used the P2P song download software. In fact, it has not been changed and can not be used to sell genuine records. He plans to attract the two founders, which is the fastest.

"Hey, hey..."

Amy will be busy with the award season in Los Angeles this Valentine's day, and grey, an intern in the series shot by a + entertainment for ace, has started up, and a pilot episode will be broadcast on Valentine's day.

American TV dramas are broadcast and shot at any time. After all, it's too long. The screenwriter should modify the plot at any time. On the one hand, he should adjust the proportion of the plot and role at any time according to the ratings data and the likes and dislikes of the audience. On the other hand, he should also prevent the actors from suddenly leaving the crew

When the pilot episode gets a good response, ACE station will officially book a whole season from the producer a + entertainment or multiple seasons if it is confident. If the ratings do not meet the standard, it can also directly drop the eunuch without psychological burden

Songya also only gave yelemov the script of the previous episodes and the general outline of the plot of the first three seasons. He was not going to spend time and effort on the latter, so he set up a reliable screenwriting team to write it down.

"Alan, Laura..."

But the actors are in place, mainly the actress, Ellen, the heroine of the original Apocalypse film, sent things back to their original owners, and Laura lemsey, the second daughter of the original football beauty film, also made her debut. After he found out, she gave him a good role, and, and

Anyway, the good thing about a long TV series is that it can fill a lot of crazy characters.

Happy Valentine's day this year! Songya shouted their names and trotted all the way.

"Jingling..." the cell phone in his pocket rang untimely, so he had to take it out and answer it.

"Boss."

It's Skinner, the director of ACN. The old man usually doesn't call easily. "I just learned that Janet avizo, the mother of a cancer child long funded by MJ in Neverland, suddenly changed her mouth and told Thomas snyden, the district attorney of Santa Barbara County, that her child was molested by MJ, and she was beaten by Neverland guards..."
