Chapter 156: A woman who knows the goods and a woman who doesn’t know the goods

When I walked into the room, I saw about ten people at a glance.Most of them are white people, there are a few black people, and they are all older.Luo Ji only recognized Philip Doman in the corner.He was surrounded by two people who smiled obsequiously at him.

"Mr. Dorman!"

Luo Ji shouted loudly and then waved.The eyes in the room instantly fell on him and Jen Psaki behind him.Psaki felt a little embarrassed and distanced himself a little from Luo Ji.

"Logic, come here."

Philip Dorman waved and asked the two people around him to leave.The two of them immediately obeyed, and even said hello to Luo Ji when they passed by him.

Luo Ji nodded to the two of them, and then walked to Philip Doman.Philip Dowman looked at Jen Psaki behind Luo Ji, and then looked at Luo Ji.

"Let's talk alone."

"OK, Psaki, go wait for me elsewhere."

When Jen Psaki walked away, Philippe Dorman laughed and scolded: "You kid, you were attacking our hosts on the show some time ago."

It seemed that the matter was not serious, and Luo Ji was completely relieved.

"She attacked me first. Didn't you listen to what she said? She told my artists how to meet people."

After Luo Ji finished speaking, he continued: "And my complaints have also increased the ratings of MTV, haven't you noticed? Everyone likes to watch me complain about others."

"Uh...well, the ratings are number one."

Philip Dorman pondered for a while: "By the way, as a singer, do you have any suggestions for the MTV Awards Ceremony? The ratings have been getting lower and lower in recent years."

Luo Ji rolled his eyes: "I can say it, but you can't tell your subordinates that I said it."

"Of course." Philip Pudauman continued: "You have my guarantee!"

Luo Ji went straight to full fire: "You must have seen the venue arranged by MTV this year. It was like a nightclub. It was extremely low. And the camera switching of TV programs did not take care of the singer's expression at all. Everyone came here. It was exposed, and as a result, the singers were rarely seen off the stage. Fans and audiences actually like to see the singer’s expressions. As for the singer’s performance, the most popular singer of the year should be invited to perform. Fergie is among the female singers this year. The most famous thing is that no one invited her. The program also needs to take care of all types of music. This year is simply the world of rap. I don’t know what they think!”

Philip Dowman's eyes were sharp, and then he nodded: "I understand."

Luo Ji then said, "Grammy belongs to your family too, right? Why is there such a big gap?"

"They're not in the same department."

"Okay, Mr. Dowman."

Luo Ji then said, "Can you take care of me and arrange for me and my girlfriend to be together at next year's Grammy Awards? Can the single we collaborate on win an award?"

Philip Dorman immediately said: "It's okay to arrange them together, but it's impossible for the collaborative single to win an award, and I can't control it. This is selected by the Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the National Academy of Sciences. Are you a member? You should Know better than me.”

"Okay." Luo Ji felt a little regretful.

Philip Dowman thought about what was going to happen next, so he said, "But I can introduce you to some public relations methods and methods. You may have to pay a little money at that time."

Luo Ji instantly became happy: "No problem, thank you. Mr. Daoman!"

Philip Dowman finally got to the point: "Do you know why Senator Barack asked you to come to me?"

Luo Ji spread his hands and said in confusion, "I'm confused too."

Philip Dowman said: "Logic, Senator Barack's campaign team has noticed that your multicultural new media company is publishing remarks that are beneficial to Ms. Clinton every day?"

Luo Ji said seriously: "My daily work in various companies takes up a lot of my time every day. I haven't paid attention to the video comments they posted for a long time. It may be the actions of my subordinates."

"Then you have to change it too."

Luo Ji pretended to be stupid and said, "My company is just a small online media company. How much influence can it have! It's your big media companies that control the media! How many people can I influence?"

"I also don't think it's a big deal."

Philip Dowman continued: "But Senator Barack's campaign team paid attention to it. They attached great importance to the emerging avenue of the Internet. He said that several of your online bloggers targeted specific minorities and segmented them. It is particularly obvious and can affect specific groups of people.”

Luo Ji knows the Internet best. Although it is weak now, it is very important to seize the opportunity.But unexpectedly, his attempt to gain some public opinion advantage on the Internet attracted the attention of Senator Barack.

Luo Ji then thought about the independent actions of his bloggers, which did not attract Ms. Clinton's thanks, but did attract the persuasion of Senator Barack. Moreover, his attitude made people feel very good, like a spring breeze, and not threatening at all. a feeling of.I also found an acquaintance to persuade me.

This made Luo Ji angry. That woman was too arrogant and didn't know anything.Luo Ji made up his mind instantly.

"Okay, I'll ask my people to pay attention."

"This is good, everyone gives each other face."

Philip Dowman continued: "Logic, as a singer, you should not be so involved in politics, just make donations. It is not good to use your media support. Your current donations are very well designed. Without Barack's participation I can’t even find out from the congressman’s revelations that you donated money to him. You are a very smart kid who can learn lessons quickly.”

"Of course we should pay attention to things like this happening around us. Haha, this is all the work of my political consultant. She designed it."

"Is that the woman just now?"

"Well, she has experience working in the Democratic Party."

"very good."

After Philip Dorman finished speaking, he smiled and patted Luo Ji on the shoulder: "Here, let me introduce you to a few Jewish politicians. Remember, in the United States, our political strategies are always the same. This is what I was willing to do at the beginning. Reasons to help you. A rising minority singer empowering minorities!"

After being introduced by Philip Dorman, I spent an hour doing some research and got to know a lot of Jewish political figures.

For example, an important one is Dianne Feinstein, a famous California senator who has been re-elected since 1992.There is also Chuck Schumer, New York State Senator, who has been re-elected from 1999 to the present.

Luo Ji smiled and said, "Then you go about your business first, and I won't disturb you anymore."

"Okay, bye. Logic." Diana said kindly.

Philip Dorman added: "Logic, about the Grammys, I'm going to have someone contact your agent."

"Ok."

Luo Ji smiled and said goodbye to several people. Jane Psaki followed him, and the two of them walked out of the room and went to the garden outside to hang out.

I have to say that Oprah, a black aunt, has very good taste, and her garden is beautifully decorated.

Jen Psaki walked beside Luo Ji and whispered: "Diana Feinstein and Chuck Schumer, they are the two most core Jewish political figures in New York State and California. They have a lot of money for their campaigns, and With the help of the Jewish media, there is no doubt about re-election. They also support Senator Barack’s bid for president.”

Luo Ji whispered, "I understand, you don't need to stress. I won't fight them."

"So, what do they want from you?"

Luo Ji told her about it, and she asked doubtfully, "Does Senator Barack attach so much importance to the Internet?"

"Maybe. When I usually go online, most of the comments on the Internet are favorable to him. On the contrary, there is relatively little news about Ms. Clinton."

"Then how do you plan to deal with it?"

"I'm going to call the CEO and get the CEO's attention. Ms. Clinton doesn't deserve that."

"It's best this way, just stay neutral!"

"Logic, what are you doing hiding here?"

Luo Ji followed the sound and saw two black men, a man and a woman, approaching.Luo Ji recognized one of them, Quincy Jones, who had planned to hold a fundraising concert for the Democratic Party with Xu Yongqian not long ago.

"Nothing to do, just wandering around."

Quincy Jones stepped forward with a smile and said, "Won't you introduce it to me?" "Quincy, this is Jen Psaki, the spokesperson for the former chairwoman of the Democratic Election Committee. Psaki, this is Quincy Jones, multiple Grammy winner.”

"Hello there!"

"Hello there!"

Quincy Jones was very enthusiastic and patted Luo Ji's shoulder affectionately, then introduced a pretty black girl next to him to Luo Ji: "Logic, this is my daughter Rashida Jones, you two We can get to know each other.”

"Hello."

Rashida Jones smiled broadly and offered her hand to shake: "Hello Logic, I love your music."

The four of them chatted for more than ten minutes and gradually became familiar with each other.

Quincy Jones pointed at Rashida and said: "Logic, I heard that your movie is being launched. Look at the movie. Is there a suitable role for my daughter?"

Luo Ji immediately said, "If you didn't tell me earlier, the casting process was over two days ago and we are rehearsing now."

Quincy Jones said quickly: "It's okay."

"By the way, why don't you let Rashida become a singer? You are a senior in the music industry. It is not easy for Rashida to sign with a record company."

Quincy Jones said angrily: "You think I don't want to? She doesn't have that talent and her singing sucks."

Rashida smiled awkwardly for a moment.

Luo Ji then said, "It's okay. Rashida is beautiful and suitable to be an actress. When I encounter opportunities in Hollywood in the future, I will help her keep an eye out for her."

Quincy Jones immediately said: "I take it seriously."

Luo Ji smiled and said, "Of course, Rashida's image is very suitable for being an actress! I will ask her about it."

Quincy Jones then rambled on a lot, completely portraying the image of an old father worried about his daughter.Luo Ji couldn't stand it anymore and quietly patted Jen Psaki's back.

"Logic, are you still busy? You have to meet with Director Catherine later!"

Luo Ji patted his head and said with a smile, "Look, I forgot about this. I have something to do and I have to leave first."

"It's okay, it's business." Rashida smiled and said, "Logic, can you leave me your contact information?"

"of course can!"

The two of them walked all the way outside the manor, and Oprah just happened to see off a guest. When she saw Luo Ji, she was very enthusiastic and greeted him with a smile, as if nothing had happened between them.

"Logic, are you leaving now?"

"Well, I'm quite busy these days."

"Are you working on your movie Twilight?"

Luo Ji cherished his words like gold: "Yes."

Oprah laughed and said: "I heard Ludacris brag that you owed him a favor and you agreed to let him play an important role as soon as he asked!"

"Ah."

Oprah gave Luo Ji a hug: "Then you go and do your work. When your movie is released, come to my show and I will help you promote it."

Luo Ji's attitude improved a lot: "Thank you then."

"goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

Oprah smiled and said goodbye. She was the host today and was very busy.

After a while, the bodyguard drove over.Luo Ji opened the car door and looked at Jen Psaki: "Why don't you go socialize? Get to know more people."

"No, many people here are from the entertainment industry, and I'm not familiar with them. Just ask the car to take me to the hotel."

After getting into the car, Luo Ji suddenly said, "Do you still want to join politics?"

"Why do you ask?" Jen Psaki asked in confusion.

Luo Ji said seriously: "How about you come to me and become my exclusive political consultant, I will give you a generous reward. And I can also invest in you to set up your own lobbying company. Of course, unless you have something special Political ambitions, otherwise wouldn’t you have to go through a revolving door in politics in the end? People always have to make ends meet.”

Jen Psaki hesitated for a moment, then said, "You mean, my abilities have been recognized by you?"

"Of course, the president of Viacom praises you."

Jen Psaki thought for a while and said: "Can I ask you a question? You are only 17 years old, why are you so anxious to participate in politics? Most people only become interested in politics when they are in their 30s."

Luo Ji said seriously: "I was once threatened by a small prosecutor! So I want to arm myself urgently to prevent myself from encountering such a thing again."

Jen Psaki asked rhetorically: "Is this why you invest in politics?"

"Of course not all."

Luo Ji was silent for a moment and continued: "I want to stand at a higher position, at the top of the American rich list. Don't they also make large amounts of political donations every year? I think I can also learn from them."

"Many companies use politicians to attack their competitors. Are you saying that you think your company may be taken advantage of by your competitors?"

Luo Ji said seriously: "With this kind of worry, I think my company will become a giant one day."

"Your music company?"

Luo Ji confidently said, "Including other companies."

Jen Psaki looked at Luo Ji seriously and thought for a moment: "Okay, I promise you. But you can't personally invest in the lobbying company by then. You are too famous. This is a taboo in the lobbying company. You You need to find someone you can trust, someone who is relatively low-key.”

"Can my grandma do it?"

"can."

Luo Ji continued: "Do you think there are any loopholes in my current political investment?"

Jen Psaki thought carefully: "The people you donate to have too high positions. Congressional senators and representatives. In fact, you should fund more prosecutors and congressmen in your company's jurisdiction. You usually have more dealings with them. . You can also donate some money to the local police station, and they will usually take care of you after something happens."

"Ah."

Jen Psaki hesitated for a moment: "Also, can I ask you a more sensitive topic? Do you have any firm political beliefs?"

Luo Ji answered bluntly: "No!"

Jen Psaki smiled: "That's good. You can donate some money to the Republican Party appropriately. It doesn't need to be too much. Everyone does this. Just let them not bear grudges against you."

"Please help me make a plan! Just be detailed. If you have any questions, you can ask Fiona. She knows the company's address and home address."

"OK."

Jingle bell, jingle bell.The phone rings.Luo Ji saw that it was his mother calling.

"Feili, your principal contacted me today. There was an exam at school recently, and she asked you to go back and take the exam."
