Eve brushed her long light blonde hair and winked at Josie: "To be honest, Mr. Spector is not my type."

Josie raised her eyebrows lightly.

Eve raised her red lips and continued, "—but, my lovely Miss Samantha Jones really likes him."

"what?"

Isn't this damn Samantha Jones the publicist in "The City"?

"Oh, little Eve's new name."

"..." Even though she already knew that her public relations had no bottom line, Josie couldn't hold back her silence for a moment before she said in a positive tone, "He joined your 'high-altitude club'."

"Obviously." Eve smiled and poured wine into the glass again, "If you want to hear, I can tell you that we are on the plane—"

Josie held her forehead and interrupted: "Stop. I don't want to hear it. I have no interest in your sex life."

"Oh, it's so regrettable. You look like this, but you are old-fashioned." Eve shrugged, "Many male stars who are as famous as you are killed by thousands of people."

Josie was too lazy to listen to her intermittent madness, so she took out a kraft paper bag that she had prepared a long time ago, "Let's see, this year's awards season's killer feature."

Eve smiled but said nothing. After taking the brown paper bag, she put down the wine glass in her hand, opened it and saw a stack of photos, and immediately said wow several times.

"Damn baby—where did you get it?" She looked at Josie.

Josie avoided answering.

After "appreciating" the hot scene between a popular Hollywood actor and an unknown teenager, Eve put the hot-eyed photo back into the bag, and still marveled: "There have long been rumors in the city that Spacey is a transparent cabinet , but what is surprising is that his taste is even more perverted than I imagined."

She could have fully imagined that Kevin Spacey's career would be over as soon as this photo was released.

Transparent cabinets do not die.

What is terrible is the bottom line of absolute zero tolerance in American society: copper smelting.

"Could it be too cruel?" Eve asked hypocritically.

Josie sneered: "It's not enough for this kind of scum to go to hell."

"That's right." Eve said, "Are you ready to face the wrath of the DreamWorks Big Three?"

Since the Venice Film Festival in September, this year's awards season has officially kicked off, and the current leader is undoubtedly the highlight of DreamWorks "American Beauty".

It is said that in order to avenge their shame, DreamWorks has been actively looking for Olympic projects since the end of the last Oscar. "American Beauty" can stand out from the crowd, which shows that this movie should be very in line with the tastes of the academy judges. It can win this year's Oscar There is a lot to do on stage.

And the Kevin Spacey mentioned by Eve is the hero of the movie "American Beauty", the absolute central figure without a doubt.

Taking the DreamWorks army is just Josie's mere retaliation for David Geffen, and she has to wait patiently for a while for her long-planned revenge plan.

Then let the bullets fly a little longer.

"David Geffen didn't think about facing my anger when he attacked me, did he?" Josie ordered: "Do this matter cleanly, so that no one can find us."

"It's easy." Eve thought for a while, "My informant knows a second-rate dealer with no professional ethics. He repairs computers and sells pirated CDs part-time. Chicks from my bar showing off and spreading the word. What do you think of the script?"

Josie was quite satisfied, and said, "I just want to add one more thing by the way, this chick also bumped into a well-known entertainment reporter that I contacted by mistake, and happened to be Harvey Weinstein's guest again."

Eve was stunned, and immediately followed Josie's thoughts: "You want them to bite dogs, but what if Harvey Weinstein suppresses the photo... Oh no, he won't suppress it, this Bully, who has no empathy, always only thinks about what he wants, not the consequences of this incident."

"My father taught me never to gamble on human nature." Josie said, "If Harvey Weinstein is really undecided, we should not be stingy to help."

For Hollywood, it is self-evident that the Big Three of DreamWorks have been in the arena for many years, but this does not mean that the whole circle revolves around them.

Before DreamWorks touched the cake of Hollywood's Big Six, the Big Three should have this awareness, that is, when there is a real conflict of interest, no one will care about the so-called status in the world.

But DreamWorks is indeed rich, well-connected, and powerful.

Even though they were severely suppressed by the Sixth National Congress, they still built a complete distribution department by themselves, and now they are even attacking the Oscars.

But from another perspective, DreamWorks has many enemies now.

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

It is not surprising that Michael Ovitz's call came——

"Good evening, Josie, I just heard a gossip that has something to do with your side business in San Francisco."

Without the usual politeness, Michael Ovitz got right to the point.

Josie winked at Eve in front of her, pressed the speakerphone, and said calmly, "I thought it was a secret, but I didn't expect news from Hollywood."

"Ha, a secret is a secret only if no one knows about it." Michael Ovitz chuckled, "But I have a special channel. I dare say that there are no more than six people in Hollywood who have the same ability."

Josie has no interest in Michael Ovitz's connections, because the CEO of SKY TV Network, who was single-handedly supported by her, has obviously regained his original arrogance after securing his position at the bottom of his ass.

But at least for now, they are still a community of interests.

So she said cooperatively, "I've always known that you have a lot of hands and eyes. And I guess, if you call me at this time, you must have a solution to the problem I am facing, right, Michael?"

Michael Ovitz laughed twice, not being modest, and replied confidently: "Smart girl. I'm here to help you solve that damn monopoly investigation!"

"Then, I'm all ears." Josie had expected it.

"Let's get straight to the point—" Michael Ovitz's tone became serious, "More than one party is pushing this matter, but I can tell you that the first person to approach the prosecutor was Kim Graham , This person is the wife of David Geffen's little wife brother. You see, Geffen is like this, he is a poisonous snake hiding in the shadows, if you don't kill him, he will find a chance to kill you. "

"Back to the topic. Josie, TT is more important than you think, because the truth in today's world is that controlling public opinion can control people's lives, and your TT has the magic power to influence public opinion."

"In the past, many Americans watched today's daily news from AOL, and now more and more people are interested in TT's pop-up advertisements, as well as the group chat function launched by TT. I have to say that TT is changing people's way of life. way of socializing and receiving information."

"Obviously, it's impossible for this kind of big killer to be in your private hands. I know you don't want to close your business, so you now have two options. One is to accept mergers and acquisitions or shareholding, and the other is to introduce several forces so that They balance themselves out."

"With all due respect, this sounds like inviting a wolf into the house." Josie said half-truthfully, "I might as well just surrender to Microsoft sooner."

Michael Ovitz didn't take it seriously, and said: "Microsoft will dismantle TT, and then Tianyan Network will only be an empty shell, but we are different. What we want is for this company to become bigger and stronger. Be the next America Online."

Josie was noncommittal: "Then round after round of dilution of my equity, in the end this is no longer my company."

"You don't have to be so passive and extreme." Michael Ovitz sneered, "You are the most important soul of TT, and we all know that. I guarantee that after accepting this round of financing before going public, your equity will no longer It has been diluted, and you can definitely serve as a chief creative officer again, and you can still stand in the C position at the bell ringing ceremony."

Josie also laughed, and snorted lightly: "Thank you for your kindness. Just give me my name, don't draw cakes for me."

No matter how many cakes are painted, it can't change the essence of these people wanting to steal money from her pocket.

Does TT need financing?

Not at all.

At the beginning, Qiao Xi had strong financial support. Now TT, which has fully occupied the market, can be described as making money every day. Compared with those peers who have been losing money for years and even fell under the Internet bubble, TT's profit model is simply enviable.

"Okay, okay——" Michael Ovitz announced two names, "If you are really impatient, then I will tell you right now, it is Carlyle Capital and Black Rock Capital."

Carlyle Capital?

The name of this private equity fund is well-known, and it claims to be a retirement club for world leaders.

As for Black Rock Capital - not Blackstone Group - perhaps its other name BlackRock Group will be more familiar, because this appears in the future Netflix equity composition.

Josie raised her eyebrows and said, "But as I remember, Carlyle Capital mainly invests in military industry and real estate, and has nothing to do with Hollywood."

Michael Ovitz laughed, "Oh, boy, hundreds of millions of dollars is just a small amount of money for Carlyle Capital. After all, investing in TT is a business that is sure to make money."

"Then what's going on with Black Rock Capital?" Josie asked.

Michael Ovitz did not answer right away, but said: "This question, I think we should find a time to discuss it in person."

He had a tone that could not be refused, and it was obvious that he had already won the victory.

However, Josie didn't follow the routine, and suddenly said: "Sorry, I have an event in San Francisco tomorrow. As you know, it's the "Fight Club" promotion period."

Michael Ovitz almost thought he heard it wrong.

Aren't they talking about an investment worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and she's still trying to promote that shitty movie?

So he almost subconsciously said: "...what?"

"Oh, it's a charity auction and movie promotion event, I can't miss the appointment." When Josie's acting skills were used to pretend to be stupid, she was completely perfunctory, "Sorry, Michael, but this is very important to me!"

Michael Ovitz took a deep breath and remained calm: "Well, I respect your work. You will call me later, right?"

"Of course! I swear on my father's name!" Josie promised, "I will call you when the schedule is convenient."

In fact, she was really not panicked about TT.

Because, assuming that Tianyan Network must accept financing, the first jump is not her, the founder and major shareholder, but Murdoch's News Corporation, which has just become a shareholder!

So Josie is waiting for a call.

A high probability comes from Mrs. Murdoch, that is, the call from Ms. Deng.

After finishing the phone call with Michael Ovitz and discussing with Eve again, the time was already close to midnight, which troubled Josie very much, because she had experienced insomnia for the first time.
