Chicago 1990

Chapter 1241: Closed hearing

"Worn out."

As the plane landed in Washington, Halle stretched out at the door of the cabin. The African floral dress was blown close to the body, and the perfect curve without a trace of fat was revealed. "It's time lag again!"

She and Jennifer Connelly went down while chatting, “It is said that the chairman of the jury, Lauda Dior, suddenly resigned two days before the closing of the film festival because he was not satisfied that the Golden Lion was awarded the hometown movie'The Way They Smile'. He prefers the French "Autumn Story"."

"Then she is lonelier than fireworks? And your bragging customers." Jennifer Connelly has changed to a more rigorous fashion, switching from a hot girl in Venice to a mature lady, and her cheeks seem to have just been taken care of. .

"There is no chance. In hindsight, even if APLUS doesn't make trouble with the British this year, she won't have the chance to be lonelier than fireworks. This year it happens that East Asia's film participation is not strong. It is the best time for Italians to regain the Golden Lion.

"I thought that because of the Lewinsky case, satirical films that brag about customers would be very popular with Europeans. It fits current events."

"Mr. Warren Beatty didn't come in vain. He won the lifetime achievement award...I was so pitiful. I stayed for ten days and got nothing."

"This year the Italians awarded three lifetime achievement awards in one go."

"Yes, the splitting of the fruits is too obvious, so Lauda Dior intentionally suggested that the competition should be cancelled and only one award: the audience's favorite film...In short, he made the organizers a bit embarrassed this year."

"He is an honest filmmaker."

The two great beauties stretched out their hands one after the other, letting Gentleman Song Ya, who was smiling and waiting below, help step onto the ground.

"If you want to go back to the West Coast now, just sit here and be on standby."

Song Ya pointed to the much smaller Gulfstream 4 on the apron next door, the one he rented for a long time, "Hayden has passed."

"Are you really not resting in Washington for two more days?" Hallie asked.

"No, I will return to Europe after attending the hearing. The interval between the two concerts is too short."

Song Ya forced a wry smile at the two women, "This trip was originally unplanned."

"OK, let's go..."

Halle held Jennifer Connery and walked to the Gulfstream plane again, "Goodbye APLUS."

"Goodbye."

Jennifer Connelly turned back and smiled, beckoning to say goodbye.

Ugh! A good memory over the Atlantic Ocean, Song Ya looked down at her open five fingers, after a little aftertaste the amazing feel, and then turned around and walked towards the black Mercedes she picked up.

"Uh……"

Pulling the car door, thinking about it, I was still a little unwilling to meet each other once, and shouted to the back of the two: "Jennifer!"

"what?"

Jennifer Connelly turned back.

"Come here again, I forgot to tell you something."

She might have misunderstood, looked around hesitantly at the ground crew at the nearby busy airport, and then pulled Harry closer.

Very good, at least it means that she does not want the relationship to be exposed.

"Have your agent contact Daniel, Daniel Glass, and I will call him to say hello in advance."

If she wants to compete for the heroine of Cold Mountain, the original novel author Charles Fraser and the conservative southern whites of the publishing house Atlantic Monthly are certainly not happy to see, and she does not want to use the power of the largest investor to force her, so she and the main pusher Jaredley The alliance of Daniel, who is the hero, is the only way to win. Both sides have the basis for each.

There is no doubt that Leng Shan has to show his attitude towards a blockbuster. For the selection of actors, the dilemma is two-way. With a good book adapted from a best-selling book, first-line actors will naturally flock to them, but there are so many first-line actors on the market. The selection space will also be greatly restricted.

So although Charles Fraser likes Nicole Kidman but he dislikes the soup very much, but he did not bluntly refuse the other party. After all, the soup is a superstar, and the box office is guaranteed, and the couple’s choice has always been Unanimously bound, such as co-star Kubrick's eye-opening ring.

Letoga, this configuration barely qualified to compete.

"Glass Pictures..." Jennifer Connelly showed a look of recollection, but she should not have reflected anything from her simple sentence. The degree of education is high, but in terms of real shrewdness, she is better than Xuelin Fen's goodness is limited, and Song Ya feels even worse than Melissa Georgi, the little supporting actor in Escape City.

Hallie's eyeballs were rolling around.

"Yes, the president of Glass Pictures, the former president of Sony Columbia Records. Your agent should understand, let him visit Daniel more and talk more."

"OK, thank you APLUS."

"Little meaning, Bye."

"Bye..."

The three made a close kiss, and Song Ya, Pierre Sutton and the lawyers hurriedly drove out of the airport.

Old Mike drove directly to Capitol Hill.

"Hey, Sloan." Song Ya yawned all the way, wiped tears, resisted sleepiness, and shook hands with Ms. Sloan and her men after getting out of the car. "No introduction." He pointed to Pierre and waited. people.

"No need to."

The frosty Sloan helped with the documents to enter the Capitol and went through the security check. She was dressed very well today, with the image of an independent female elite, and whispered while she was busy reporting: "The share price of Littman Media rose after the House of Representatives passed the Digital Millennium Act. That's nine percent."

"good news."

"You are not in good shape..."

"Just prepare a cup of coffee then."

"There are more than two hours before the hearing."

"bad news……"

Song Ya hung the visitor badge around her neck, and the group passed the security check.

Sloan walked in front of him side by side, "I know there is a restroom in the waiting area..."

"Stop kidding me about the East Hall incident."

"There are very few people now, and the lawmakers are either busy campaigning or arguing about impeachment."

"..."

"It's the kind with many partitions, very large..."

"You spare me."

Sloan's jokes made him relax a lot. The two were talking and laughing as they walked through the Capitol. The corridors were filled with the sound of leather shoes from the huge team behind them.

‘Click, click...’

At the corner, Song Ya suddenly saw the little Bronfman. He was standing at the entrance to the Senate in the hall, touching his chin, and talking with Barry Diller with a serious expression, Ron Meyer, said Gmorris and other senior leaders of the Seagram Global Group were there, and countless elites surrounded the stars and the moon.

Fu Sandai also noticed his own group of people, turned his head and looked over, the reflection of the lens of the gold-rimmed glasses blocked the eye details.

Song Ya kept walking, smiled at the other side and turned away.

‘Click, click...’

Little Bronfman coldly watched the other party's slow-motion greeting and then smiled away from the line of sight. Accompanied by the click of leather shoes, the group followed Ms. Sloan, president of Litman Media, and disappeared at the entrance of the House of Representatives, "Go on." Withdraw his sight.

"Wait for your personal show, a Don Quixote-style tragic speech. We will disseminate the speech widely, hoping to affect the tendency of judges and juries in various litigation offenses and defenses, and earn enough sympathy. Points," Barry Diller said.

"Is there really no chance at all?" Little Bronfman asked.

"Ninety-nine percent did not."

After hearing the reply, he took a deep breath of irritability, and then looked at Ron Meyer and others.

Ron Meyer and Doug Morris nodded silently. No one came up with any constructive ideas. "Okay, okay, I'll return to Los Angeles after the hearing." He pointed to Doug Morris, "Then let's talk about A+ The record problem."

"His hearing in the Senate is also today?" Song Ya knew that the other party had a Senate hearing. Regarding the Digital Millennium Act, it seemed that the rich three generations had not given up their stubborn resistance.

"Yes, the chairman of the hearing is Senator McKean, chairman of the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee." Sloan replied.

He is also an old acquaintance, "No accidents, right?"

"Don't worry, ninety-nine percent will not. He is just commendable in spirit."

"As soon as you mentioned the number ninety-nine percent, I'm silly."

"what!"

The so-called waiting area in the House of Representatives is a corridor between the two gates. Some benches were placed on the side of the wall. Congress staff walked around holding documents. Song Ya was here during the last hearing. , People are indeed a lot less.

"APLUS."

Song Ya chatted with Sloan, Pierre and the lawyers for a few words, then sat down, just leaned his head against the wall and started to doze on the spot, awakened by a familiar voice.

"Professor Mikva?"

Unexpectedly, it is reasonable to say that Mikwa, a professor at the University of Chicago Law School, his own teacher, and a former White House legal adviser.

Harvey, the middleman under normal circumstances, is inconvenient to show up here, but Mikva is okay, so he must be the leader.

"Talk alone?"

"Ok."

He was led into the bathroom by Mikva.

"Maybe you can prevent the publication of the Starr report, APLUS, as long as you testify against the authenticity of the East Hall restroom incident, we will operate the rest."

After pushing the partition doors open for inspection, Mikva made a straightforward offer, "You know he has always been very generous to people who helped him."

"Then how do I know what other evidence Starr possesses? I don't want to also carry the crime of perjury." Song Ya didn't want to take the risk. He just saw the rich three generations, maybe it was not a coincidence? The father and son of the Bronfman family had a cordial meeting with the commander separately not long ago. There are also ultra-conservatives in Congress who want to avenge Danburton. It is not easy to protect himself. "He himself was successfully fished by Starr. Now, I'm even more..."

"The political stability of the entire country depends on you APLUS." Mikva snapped an oversized top hat.

"Then what do you think? Professor Mikwa, you know that I am only a twenty-three-year-old young man from the slums of Nancheng. I cannot bear such a big responsibility."

Song Ya asked back: "In fact, your relationship with him is not as close as it seems on the surface, right? You have to help me instead. I am your student. We are both in Chicago. We have had a comfortable cooperative relationship for many years."

There are naturally reasons why Mikwa is the ‘former’ White House legal counsel, especially under the premise that the couple in the White House are involved in a lot of cases, right?

"I want to hear what you are saying, for my good." And openly instigate rebellion. After all, the general leader has only two years left to pass through this barrier. The latter has a deeper relationship with himself, especially the Internet industry. Gore era.

Of course Mikva knew this well, he laughed after hearing the words, "Don't worry about APLUS, today is not that complicated. This hearing is not a trap, I promise with my personality."

"It would be another matter if I was caught by Starr doing perjury. Who knows, he can even get a blue skirt."

"So you plan to cite the Fifth Amendment?"

"It depends."

"Well, maybe you are right." Mikwa patted his arm meaningfully. "Do you know the details of quoting the Fifth Amendment?"

"I took your class."

"Haha..."

Then Mikwa left directly even after completing the task.

If you look at it this way, it’s even easier to choose. Song Ya's heart is a bit let go, but the plan to make up for it has come to an end, and Gore’s, Underwood, and Wrangel’s people all come quietly...

"This closed-door hearing involves the House of Representatives' review of the authenticity of Stahl's report. It is a great honor for us to invite Mr. Alexander Song to attend..."

The closed-door hearing started on time. There were no reporters. The chairman was Konix of the Judiciary Committee, a member of the donkey party black caucus, and there were few other congressmen present, and most of them looked as tired as they were. The scene was a bit like working overtime overnight. The grass team of the meeting.

It seemed to be a good sign. This time Pierre Sutton was sitting on his right hand, PGE Lawyer's lawyer was sitting on his right, Sloan and others were still behind.

"Thank you."

After all, it’s a'second entry into the palace'. Song Ya has checked the microphone, then took a sip of the coffee handed by the staff, gently put down the white porcelain cup and cup holder, unbuttoned the suit button, and adjusted it to Sit more comfortable.

He glanced over another member of the Judiciary Committee, Steve Shaper, a white member of the Elephant Party. According to intelligence, whether an accident will happen today depends on this person's actions.

"Alexander Song, according to the report submitted by the Stahl Independent Prosecutor's Office, please answer the following questions truthfully:"

Soon entering the questioning session, Konex opened the desk file, "Do you know Ms. Lewinsky?"

"You mean, uh..."

Forgot to turn on the microphone, Song Ya pressed the button, "If you answer now, yes, of course I know."

"I mean, when you were interviewed on the Internet and in the media, before you made a statement about not knowing him, did you really know her? Because according to the report and Ms. Lewinsky’s own statement, you visited earlier I had contact with her in the White House, and she was responsible for guiding you and your wife at the time, Ms. Mariah Carey." Konix asked.

"When I was interviewed, I didn't remember the name of the female intern who guided me and Mimi...er, Mariah Carey to the White House..." Song Ya replied.

"Even when she frequently appeared in major media?" Steve Shaper asked.

"Later, of course, I remembered and matched my memories. Representative Xia Bo." Song Ya replied.

"So when you were interviewed by the media, you already knew that the intern was Lewinsky, but you still insisted on calling her... Please allow me to quote your original words,'Is a liar'." Steve Shaper Read the file.

"I have to consider my personal public image."

"So you admit that you lied to the media?"

"Isn't that okay? I didn't say that when testifying..." Song Ya smiled.

Most of the parliamentarians also laughed, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

"I draw the attention of distinguished senators and gentlemen. The Internet's indulgence in sharing behavior has seriously affected the rights and interests of traditional copyright owners and copyright owners. The Digital Millennium Act does not reflect the demands of companies in the Hollywood, recording, and software industries at all. The terms are inappropriate and not rigorous. I predict here that it will be widely abused by Internet companies...I believe we will see that day soon."

The atmosphere of the Senate’s hearing on the Digital Millennium Act was also the same. In addition to the presence of journalists, cameras and cameras, Senator McKean, the chairman of the Senate, quickly released goodwill. He deliberately raised a broad question to young people. The opportunity for the boss of Seagram Global Group to make a fuss.

This speech was repeatedly polished by professionals. Young Bronfman raised the upper part of the manuscript a little bit, and then said impassionedly: "The album of an African-American musician may even be released after the release. A few days before the release of the record, its copyright achievements will be put on the Internet by criminals Po in some music communities on the Internet. This will have a devastating blow to his income and creative enthusiasm, especially for new record players..."

"APLUS, in order to facilitate the understanding of the original text, I directly called your stage name, Mr. Alexander Song. I will read another paragraph in the Starr report concerning you and Ms. Mariah Carey: Guest in the White House, Lewinsky said. APLUS and Mariah Carey are with me, this I am Ms. Lewinsky... When leading the way to visit the White House, as soon as they left the crowd, they laughed at each other, moved their hands, and hugged each other's waist tightly like animals in heat Every now and then, when I passed the east hall, Mariah Carey asked me where the bathroom was, and I showed him the direction, and then the two hurried in together and locked the door...'.

On the House of Representatives side, Steve Shaper also read with eloquence, and other members of the House of Representatives choked their laughter.

"Uh..." Song Yat held his chin, his eyes drooped and his eyes were empty. "Please allow me to interrupt Senator Xia Bo. Is this the content of the Starr report? The Starr report that may be made public?"

"of course."

"Why did the special prosecutor of the White Water case inform the public of these contents?"

"You only have the right to question the authenticity of APLUS, so is it real?" Xia Bo asked.

"How do I know if you haven't finished reading."

"OK, then continue: Soon, there was an embarrassing voice inside. I waited for about five minutes, and listened to the door for a while. Mariah Carey was depressingly..."

"Wait, wait, is it necessary to be so detailed?" Song Ya interrupted again.

"So is the content of Starr's report true?" Xia Bo asked back.

"This involves the privacy of my husband and I."

"You testify in Congress."

"OK OK, you continue with Representative Xia Bo." Song Ya raised his eyebrows and looked at him deeply, wondering if he would send this guy back on the old road of Dan Burton in the future...

"Well, I will conceal some part of the description that does not involve the authenticity of the incident: I waited a while, and the time for the visit was almost up, so I had to ask the White House security director. He sent in-house agents... and..., I I had to stand awkwardly with the two men outside the bathroom and listen to the increasingly louder and louder movements coming out of it. I stopped reading the following paragraph... The soundproofing of the White House bathroom was not good. In the end, about twenty minutes passed. , Other people, including the general leader, the deputy commander and his wife, are already in the garden to attend the press conference. Everyone is waiting for them, and the internal staff can only knock on the door to urge."

Representative Xia Bo finished reading, "APLUS, you can now testify on the truth of this statement."

"If I deny it, will the Starr report take away the publication, or is it banned from being published?" Song Ya turned off the microphone and asked the PGE lawyer with her hands.

"That is the job of members of Congress. The current plan is only to vote on whether the Stahl report is public or not." The lawyer replied: "Your testimony is one of the basis for their vote."

Song Ya looked back at Sloan again. She calculated before that although the Donkey Party resisted the impeachment case very fiercely, many members of the Council agreed with the publication of the Starr report, which means that it will be passed with a high probability. The figure provided is 75%.

Even if you deny it as the general leader wishes, then the donkey party can be operated, and maybe it can reverse the situation?

But if you deny it, there will be hard evidence of a sudden crisis in the blue skirt, who knows...

I don’t want to take the risk of perjury for the leader. Forget it, just make it public. At that time Mariah Carey was still a wife and not an ex-wife. What's the fear? Anyway, my ex-girlfriend also published a book...

"APLUS? Mr. Alexander Song?" Xia Bo urged.

"Uh, in view of the advice of the legal counsel, I cannot answer your question. According to the Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution, I have the right to remain silent.

Of course, you can't just admit it, it's unnecessary.

As soon as the congressmen began to whisper to each other, the hearing was slightly noisy.

"Mr. Alexander Song, are you sure you want to cite the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution?" Senator Xia Bo asked with a smile, "This is not a testimony involving serious guilt, what do you think?"

Sloan coughed behind.

This is an old-fashioned little language trap. Once the power of the Fifth Amendment is cited, you can no longer answer any other questions, otherwise it will be regarded as voluntarily giving up, and you must not quote again ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In view of the legal counsel I am sorry that I cannot answer your question. According to the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, I have the right to remain silent. "

"I'll ask again, you report to Starr..."

"In view of the advice of the legal adviser, I cannot answer your question. According to the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, I have the right to remain silent..."

At the Senate side, the young Bronfman finished his speech. There was a break in the middle of the large-scale hearing. The flashes on the scene were lit up and the reporters came to take pictures shortly.

He closed the document, held up the frame, got up and nodded with a smile to the members of the rostrum, and then shook hands with the people around him.

In addition, the novel app I am using recently, [app] supports both Android and iPhone!

"OK, I have a question..."

After the break, the hearing continued. Senator Durbin of the Donkey Party of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Antitrust, Commercial Rights and Fair Competition Group asked: “According to our conclusion, Seagram Universal is now the world’s largest music company. right?"
