Chapter IX Transactions
Although it was the first time to watch the Super Bowl, in fact, Lao Mei watched the Super Bowl more for a lively atmosphere similar to a party, so Sid watched it quite interesting. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After watching the Super Bowl, everyone left, and Jessica Alba, who played the heroine, had just returned to her trailer when she heard a knock on the door.
When I opened the door, it turned out to be another protagonist, Chris Pine.
"Chris, what's the matter?" asked Jessica Alballo, a little surprised.
"I see that you are very tired from practicing dance these days, I asked the crew doctor for an ointment to relax your muscles, do you want to try it. Chris Pine smiled and handed over the ointment.
"Oh, thanks. After Jessica Alba accepted it, she couldn't help but blush when she saw Chris Pine's slightly expectant eyes, "So, do you want to come in and sit for a while?"
"Oh, is that okay? OK. Chris Pine immediately nodded in agreement.
When Chris Pine gets into Jessica Alba's trailer, the door of her trailer "snaps" shut.
Sid couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene from a distance.
"I said Boss, when did you have a voyeurism?" Henry snuck over from the side.
"No, I just helped a single man who wanted to hook up a girl and taught him a few tricks to be a girl. Sid smiled and shrugged, not hiding the slightest.
In fact, Hollywood has always had a tradition of letting the male and female protagonists "fake the drama and do it" for series of romantic comedies. And most of the time, these clauses will even be added directly to the contract, so that the heroes and heroines on and off the screen are lovers, which is helpful for hyping up the popularity of the film and promoting it.
Otherwise, why is it that every time there is a romance film that leads the trend, the hero and heroine just happen to "fall in love"?
Is this true for Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens in the original protagonists of "High School Musical", but is it also true for Robert Pattinson and Kristen Steulk in "Twilight"?
And Sid's move to Chris Pinecht is also very simple, since Jessica Alba joined the crew, her interest has not been high, after all, it is not a pleasant experience to fire the agent who dug herself. And because she joined the crew at the end, the progress of the dance dropped the most, and under the intense training of Anne Fletcher, Jessica Alba was quite physically and mentally exhausted.
In this case, a sunny and handsome young man, show care and show humor, and the rest is not a matter of course?
――――――――――――――――――――
February ended in the intense filming of the first half of "Youth Musical", and after March, the filming of the singing and dancing parts gradually increased, and Sid did not stiffly separate the performance and the singing and dancing parts from the shooting.
Because the singing and dancing part of "Youth Musical" is still quite complicated, especially several multi-person dances, Sid simply arranged the filming of the singing and dancing part according to Anne Fletcher's training progress, and interspersed it with the filming of the normal plot.
This has another advantage, after each high-intensity, demanding song and dance shooting, you can use a period of plot shooting to relax the state of the actors, so that they can shoot in an orderly manner.
In addition to these filming events, another gratifying thing also happened, when Chris Pine and Jessica Alba appeared on the set hand in hand in the middle of the film.
Everyone suddenly fell to the ground, and under the gossip of a group of actresses, Jessica Alba, who blushed blush, and Chris Pine, who looked happy, officially announced their relationship.
During this time, Ali (Emmanuel) called to inquire about the situation, but he directly praised Sid's skill, and Sid directly asked him and Sean to prepare a long-term publicity plan for Chris and Jessica's romantic relationship. After all, "Youth Musical" is going to be filmed in a trilogy.
――――――――――――――――――――
Just as Sid was filming "High School Musical" in Salt Lake City, another important event finally happened in Los Angeles.
"Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Season 2" is coming to an end, and although the second season of "Millionaire" has not made any substantial improvements, with the word-of-mouth and novel format of the first season, the program's performance has remained at an average rating of 29 million people.
So in exchange for Disney's "Hot Mom and Girls" and the permanent rights to the AMA American Music Awards, the signing of this deal was finally signed at Disney's Burbank headquarters.
Shirley Sandberg attended the signing ceremony on behalf of Sid, while Michael Eisner appeared in person, and after a warm greeting, the signing process was clean and clean, as if both sides were afraid of the other suddenly reversing the other. Michael Eisner had a rare and cordial exchange with Shirley Sandberg, the COO of the small company of the Fire Lion Group.
Seeing the enthusiastic smile on the face of the famous Hollywood tyrant opposite, Shirley Sandberg couldn't help but think of a joke Sid said: "Two people who think they have taken advantage of each other have a smile on their faces when they trade, but they are scolding each other for being stupid in their hearts." But who is really stupid, only when the tide goes out will you find that Luo swimmer. ”
Shirley (Sandberg) also had a good conversation with Michael Eisner, which made Michael Eisner sigh again and again, surprised at how Sid could find such a powerful subordinate as her.
But without further ado, although the copyright of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" has been exchanged, the income it generates is still nourishing the Fire Lion Group.
According to Fire Lion's internal forecast, according to the current record-breaking ratings, the total revenue generated by the DVDs and broadcast rights of the first two seasons of "Millionaire" alone, as well as a wide variety of peripheral products, naming rights, image rights, etc., is expected to hit the $1 billion mark.
Although this terrifying revenue performance cannot be known to the outside world, after seeing the ratings of the second season of "Millionaire", Michael Eisner eagerly ordered the ABC television network to immediately start working on a new version of "Millionaire" and put it on the air next spring.
Not to mention that Michael Eisner, who felt that he had taken a big advantage, and was ecstatic, the crew of "Youth Musical" ushered in several new members in March.
"So, Sid, what do you think?" asked Max Martin with a smile.
"Not bad, indeed. Sid nodded after pausing the CD player.
Although it was only more than half a month, Max Martin was a talented musician like a gold record maker after all, and after discussing the style of the movie songs with Sid at the production meeting, he didn't spend much effort to produce nearly ten songs.
As for the rest, he gave it to the other composers of Fire Lion Records.
"Well, if you like it, after all, I just took out some songs that were scrapped before, took them out and changed the style, and I will give them to you. "Big Lai Preserved Egg is still Big Lai Preserved Egg, Max Martin didn't make a serious joke in three sentences.
"Haha, you're the only one who dares to be so arrogant. Sid said with a nonchalant smile.
The people next to him couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when they looked at these two young geniuses laughing so unscrupulously, after all, although Sid was quite easy-going in the crew, but under the authority of the director, no one dared to joke with him so exaggeratedly.
"And Anne (Fletcher) how do you feel?" Sid looked at Anne Fletcher to the side.
"Very good song. Anne Fletcher nodded, "I've figured out some ways to go with the dance, do you have a copy of the CD? I'd like to take it to the dance team and see it." ”
Max Martin looked at his assistant, who immediately took a copy of the CD out of his bag and handed it over, and Anne Fletcher took it and hurried away.
Max Martin turned back to Sid and said, "I'll leave a couple of producers with me, who can help the dance team with the music. I'll take tomorrow's plane and go back first. ”
"So rushed?" asked Sid in surprise, then his face turned and he smiled, "It can't be that I'm in a hurry to go back to see my lover." ”
"Go, I'm a small employee who works for you, I work hard, and I have to be complained about by your big boss, I really can't live. Da Lai Pidan continued to exert his tricky spirit, and others sweated wildly.
"With that said, what's going on in the record department?" asked Sid.
"Britney is still in the big picture, 50Cent and Farrell Williams have already been signed, and we're starting to prepare them for their debut next year or the year after. But Kanye West rejected our offer, seemingly looking down on our small start-up company. ”
Is Kanye a famous thorn?
Sid smiled slightly, even though Max Martin's name was very popular in the pop music world. But the HipPop world, from singers to producers, has always been dominated by black people, and there are countless famous big names. Whether it is the previous braggart dad or the later Jay-Z, they are all strong men who dominate one side.
"Well, it's a good start to sign 50Cent and Farrell [Williams]. Sid nodded, and then it occurred to him, "Since you're flying tomorrow, why don't you help me get on a trip to Canada?" ”
"Canada?" asked Max Martin curiously.
"Yes, you come with your ears. Sid smiled mysteriously, and found his hand to whisper to Max Martin.
After listening to Sid's words, Max Martin looked suspicious, "How do you know that there is a little girl in Napani, Canada, who is very talented in singing? ”
Sid shrugged and began to talk serious nonsense: "The last time I went to Canada to make a movie, I heard a privately recorded CD at the local video store, and I asked the owner about the singer, and he said it was sung by the young daughter of a friend's neighbor's family in a small country town. ”
"Such a twist?" Max Martin was a little dazed by Sid's nonsense.
"Well, sometimes the truth is stranger than the story. Sid nodded calmly.
"What about the little girl's CD?" Max Martin asked.
"It's a CD that can only be auditioned in the store, not sold. Sid then said calmly.
"Hmm-" Max Martin stared at Sid for a long time, but found no flaws, so he nodded for the time being, "Okay, I'll fly to Canada tomorrow." ”
