Chapter Forty-six Paris

  Here is the translation:

  "I'd like to apologize to everyone here for the past four days, as I indeed had something going on and didn't update for those four days. The four chapters that are owed will definitely be made up in a few days, and this chapter counts as making up for the previous ones. There are still three more chapters ahead."

  As time passed, when noon arrived, the press conference finally came to an end. Song Tang couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and stretched his body, saying to Rupert, George and others beside him: "The rest is up to you now, I still have to make a trip to Europe in these days."

  George was already used to this boss's habit of shirking responsibility, and as he watched Song Tang's gradually disappearing back, he helplessly shrugged his shoulders at Zhong Ren beside him.

  As expected, the next day all major media outlets in the United States, newspapers and some well-known news media around the world reported extensively on Datang's acquisition of Fox Broadcasting Company.

  Among them, the Los Angeles Daily wrote more objectively: "It can be foreseen that after Datang acquired Fox Broadcasting Company, the company's strength expanded rapidly, but this matter has its pros and cons. Firstly, Datang did so, with a bit of sharpness exposed, easily causing other companies to be jealous or even jointly boycott, however, it cannot be denied that after Datang acquired Fox Broadcasting Company, not only did it solve the problem of insufficient cinemas for film screenings, but also further promote the development of Datang's film industry. In short, Datang's acquisition of Fox Broadcasting Company is still more beneficial than harmful."

  And in today's report, Anne of The New York Times wrote: "All along, Tang Song has given us the impression of being a knowledgeable gentleman, but only now do I realize that he is more like a businessman wearing a cloak. He is hypocritical, cunning and greedy. Although I don't know how he convinced Rupert Murdoch to sell his Fox Broadcasting Company to Da Tong, it can be foreseen that Tang Song must have used many unknown methods."

  The Financial Times of London also published its own commentary in the same day's paper, which read: "The acquisition of Fox Broadcasting by Tatung does not include The Times of London. People of England, do not worry, this is none of our business. However, as the most noble gentlemen in the world, we should send our congratulations and friendship to our genius director, Tang Song."

  Yang Lihua, a reporter for China's Xinhua Daily, wrote extensively about Song Dang. She first reported on Song's recent growth as an American-born Chinese and his film career in the newspaper, and finally offered her own opinion. In Xinhua Daily, she wrote: "As Chinese people, we should be proud of what Song has done, because not only did he bring glory to us Chinese, but also expressed his intention to consider developing in China when the time is ripe. Hehe, how much longer do I have to wait? We need a Chinese director to lead the development of our film and television industry, we need him to promote our culture."

  Of course, there are also some small newspapers and news media that distort the facts in order to boost their own newspaper sales and ratings, belittling Song Tang and Da Tang. However, more journalists have expressed support for Da Tang's acquisition of Fox Broadcasting Company.

  At this time, the headquarters of MGM Studios in Los Angeles, the boss of MGM Studios, American casino tycoon Kirk Kerkorian, was holding today's newspaper and flipping through it. When he saw the report on Da Tang acquiring Fox Broadcasting Company, he couldn't help but chuckle and said to his assistant: "Hehe, look at our competitor, it seems like we'll have another one soon."

  Kor? Koro Corinne said to the assistant beside him, and then ignored the astonished gaze of the assistant next to him. A sharp light flashed in his eyes, and no one would have thought that this old man, who had once dominated the world, was thinking about something.

  Meanwhile, the bosses and presidents of several other well-known film production companies in Hollywood also had different opinions after seeing today's newspaper reports about Da Tang's acquisition of Fox Broadcasting Company, but at the same time, they all secretly paid attention to Da Tang.

  But all these things have nothing to do with Song Tang anymore, because Song Tang has already boarded the plane to Paris, France today. As the opening day of the Venice International Film Festival is getting closer and closer, Song Tang had to put down his work and head to Venice, Italy. Fortunately, Song Tang doesn't have any particularly urgent matters waiting for him to handle at the moment. The post-production of "The Shawshank Redemption" is in full swing, and as for the producer Danny, Song Tang is still very reassured, because Danny is indeed a talented and experienced producer. Through the film "Low Life", Song Tang got to know Danny, and it was this film that allowed Song Tang to witness Danny's extraordinary filmmaking talent. Now, except for giving some constructive opinions on some key points, the post-production of "The Shawshank Redemption" has been carried out under Danny's tight work schedule. Meanwhile, the promotional work for "The Shawshank Redemption" is also being carried out in a busy and tense manner under George's leadership.

  And the film "Jurassic Park", Steven Spielberg is also in a tense rush, completely not using Song Tang's worry, and until yesterday Datang Broadcasting Company's restructuring was officially completed, Song Tang believed that Rupert and others would handle the work of the broadcasting company well, so this didn't need to be worried about by Song Tang either. So idle Song Tang once again became a absentee owner, however, Song Tang went to France Paris first instead of directly going to Italy Venice, it's because two unexpected people Jessica and Angelina, at the same time Song Tang also had a strong yearning for this city with the title of "City of Romance".

  Paris, the city is not only the capital and largest city of France, but also the political and economic center of France, one of the four world-class cities, along with New York in the United States, Tokyo in Japan, and London in the United Kingdom. Paris is also the 75th province of France and belongs to the ?le-de-France region. The Paris metropolitan area is one of the largest metropolitan areas in Europe.

  From ancient times to the present, young people from all over the world who have gathered in Paris have had various dreams and ambitions. Here they have realized their dreams and also experienced disappointment. However, as Lierke once said, "Paris is a city without equal."

  However, the reason why Song Tang and others were attracted to Paris as their first stop was not these, but rather that Paris is a famous tourist destination in France, with world-renowned buildings such as the Arc de Triomphe, Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, and Louvre Museum. Additionally, Paris has a typical temperate oceanic climate, with mild temperatures and little rainfall throughout the year, making it an ideal vacation spot compared to the hot and dry Los Angeles in the summer.

  Of course, Paris has its own unique romantic feelings. Song Tang hopes to walk on the streets of Paris and meet a French beauty, so he can fully enjoy the romance of France. However, these are just idle thoughts for Song Tang, because behind him are two ladies, and he no longer dares to hope for any romantic encounters!

  Actually, Song Tang was really looking forward to having a romantic trip with Jessica, but if they added one more person at this time, Song Tang would have to secretly curse Angelina as a big airhead, and also a very beautiful and sexy big airhead.

  "Angie, are you really going to follow us to Europe too?" Song Tang said helplessly as he looked at Angelina who was chatting happily with Jessica at Los Angeles International Airport.

  "Hmph, heh heh! That's right, I've never been to Paris or Venice before, does that mean Tang doesn't welcome me to go?" Angelina, who was chatting with Jessica, couldn't help but laugh when she saw Song Tang dressed in a somewhat "odd" way.

  "Hehe~~~" Along with Angelina's laughter, Jessica also burst out laughing when she saw Song Tang's weird outfit.

  Because Song Tang didn't want people to recognize him, so as not to disturb his pleasant journey, Song Tang slightly disguised himself. Unexpectedly, Song Tang's disguise was not very good, and now he has become the laughing stock of Jessica and Angelina. Seeing the two beauties who were not willing to be near him mocking him like this, Song Tang couldn't help but feel hatred, his teeth itching with anger, but he still didn't dare make any moves.

  "Anji, how long has it been since you last called your mom and visited her? Your mom will worry about you Anji!" Song Tang persisted in trying to persuade Anjelina to stay.

  However, Song Tang really didn't know that this move had touched Song Tang's sore spot. When Angela heard Song Tang's words, she suddenly turned red and looked like she was wronged. Jessica saw her good sister in this situation and immediately glared at Song Tang fiercely, then quickly comforted her good sister.

  At this time, Song Tang was also panicked. For women, especially beauties, Song Tang's heart has always been very soft. In the end, Song Tang really had no choice but to agree to Angelina's accompaniment.
