Chapter Eighty-Three: Who Got Pregnant
"Thanks, Sid. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Britney hugged sweetly, Sid hugged the girl's graceful body, and Max (Martin) immediately coughed.
Britney's face flushed, and she quickly let go of Sid, "I'll go to the bathroom." With that, she went out of the room with a group of female companions.
Sid glared at Max (Martin) fiercely, but the other man shrugged his shoulders with an expression that a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.
Sid then went on to get down to business: "What about Britney's second specialty?"
"Recording is going well now, we've done 10 out of 15 songs, and now that we've acquired Viking Records, we've got a couple of studios on the West Coast, so we've got a lot of recording capacity right now. The next few songs are expected to be completed in another month. Max (Martin) said.
"What about distribution and publicity?" Sid asked.
"You'll have to ask Barry [Ves] for details, I only know a few general things. Max (Martin) explained: "It is said that the release time is tentatively scheduled for May next year, and then from March, Britney will have a five-week 'U.S. Arena-Tour' North American tour in North America to warm up for the second album 'Oops!I Did It Again.'" ”
"Oh, yes, yes. A crisp and coquettish voice suddenly interrupted Sid and Max (Martin) chatting, and as soon as the two looked up, it turned out to be Britney and the others returning to the room.
"What?" asked Sid curiously.
"Sid, the press conference of the second college, I want to go to RB, can I?" Britney jumped into Sid's arms and prayed coquettishly.
"Then ......" Sid smiled and took her little hand, "Can you tell me why you suddenly thought of going to RB?"
"Well, I said, don't laugh at me. Britney said, pointing to her chin.
"Well, I promise......" Sid said with a smile, "and even if you laugh, you won't laugh too loudly." ”
"Hah, you're necrotic!" Britney laughed and slapped Sid with her pink fist.
"Okay, then, what is the reason?" asked Sid with a smile.
"yes, last few months, when I was doing that concert in New York, when we were on the tour before the opening, we met a few little Asian fans, they were cute, and they actually cried with excitement just because they saw me. Britney smiled as she recalled such an interesting story.
"Wow, this is the first time that someone has cried with excitement just because they saw me. The translator told me that they came from all over Asia, and many of them were from RB, and they said that there were many, many fans who liked me at RB.
"In the end, I also promised that the little girl named Yazi would definitely go to RB. So, what do you think of Sid, okay~~~" Britney shook Sid's arm coquettishly.
"What do I think?" Sid smiled and nodded his chin, "I think, I'm jealous! So many people call me a Hollywood prodigy, a supernova in the world of fiction, but I've never met a fan, just because they see me, they cry excitedly." Wow, I'm so jealous. ”
"Hahaha, don't make a fuss, Sid~~" Britney smiled and patted Sid, and then she looked at Sid: "Is that good?"
"Yes, let me think about it. Sid said with a pretentious chin pinch, which made Britney nervously grip his hand.
"So be it, let's start global outreach from May, from RB. Sid's words immediately made Britney cheer, but Sid didn't finish yet: "I'll go to RB for this press conference too." ”
"Ahhhh――――――!!!!h
"Wow, I'm glad I was prepared. Sid pulled the earbuds out of his ears.
"Sid, you did it on purpose!" Max (Martin) said as he half covered his ears without tears and glared at Sid with grief.
"Oh, yes! let you fight me, hehe. Sid held up two fingers and laughed sheepishly.
――――――――――――――――――――
Although the nominations for the Grammys have been announced, there is still a lot of work to follow, and the long-distance race of this alternative awards season has just begun, and it will not be until February of next year that a stone will fall in everyone's hearts.
"Filming of Hannah Montana is going well now, and it will be all done within this month. The post-production is expected to be completed within a month, and the soundtrack is almost complete. We can go as planned, next year," said Mr. Charles, putting down the papers in his hand.
"Yes, that's good. Shirley (Sandberg) nodded, and the group looked at Sid.
Sid shrugged, "For the specific situation, you guys will listen to Henry first." ”
Henry nodded: "Now the preparation of "Harry Potter" in the UK has been completed more than eighty percent, and all the set work in the studio, as well as the supporting lighting and props, have also been commissioned. And the preview animation aspect of 3D ......"
Sid took over, "This work was done two months ago. After that, the camera team and I designed the entire shot based on these animation preview plans. ”
"So, to put it simply, we don't have anything else to do before filming except for the actors' auditions, costumes and props, which need to be adjusted according to the specific actors, and Sony's digital cameras. Sid shrugged and said the result.
"Sony's camera...... Next June?" asked Shirley (Sandberg).
"Yes, that's good. Henry nodded, "I've talked to Sony several times, and I've asked my friends from the Star Wars crew, and their start date is also scheduled for June next year." ”
"Then it can't be helped. Shirley (Sandberg) nodded.
"So, what if we don't have anything to do until June next year?" Sid raised an eyebrow.
"That's what making a movie is, Boss. Henry shrugged, "A lot of projects drag on for years. ”
"But that's just too boring. Sid scratched his chin, and then he clapped his hands: "Otherwise, let's make a new film!"
"What is the workaholic genius boss talking about!?" Henry looked at Sid in surprise.
"Uh, this, that, I just mean, anyway, before the start of filming next year, our crew will be idle. Why not simply, directly, and then make a movie. Sid said "squirming".
"Our crew is all working on Harry Potter in the UK, so who else are there to spare?" Henry protested.
"Then form another crew, there are so many people in Hollywood, how simple it is to pull a crew. Sid smiled and pushed Henry into a corner.
"But we don't even have a script!" Henry was still struggling.
"Smack!" Sid pulled out a script from under the conference table and slapped it on the table.
"Boss!!" Henry was already struggling with a "grudgeful" voice.
"Haha. The others burst out laughing.
"Henry, in fact, the sooner you give up, the sooner you can be freed. Sean, the manager of the distribution department, said "gloating".
"Sean, you—" Henry glared at Sean speechlessly.
"Alright, alright. Shirley (Sandberg) clapped her hands to stop the joke, "Let's take a look at this new project." ”
Sid had already prepared a script synopsis for everyone to read, and a basic project plan, although Sid didn't need these things as a boss to set up a project, but he didn't want to give others a bad impression - the boss didn't follow the rules, so how could others follow it?
Shirley (Sandberg) and the others flipped through the proposal and quickly flipped through the synopsis of the script and the framework of the project, which was a small-budget film called "Juno." But in terms of cost, it is even cheaper than "Youth Musical", and Sid set a base estimate of only $6.5 million.
But that's not the point, the point is-
"Boss, the theme of this movie ......" Heng said in a tone that was no less surprised than just now, "It's too ......" he wanted to say, but he didn't know what words to use to describe it.
"Shocking!" said Shirley (Sandberg).
"Not bad!" Henry nodded.
"Juno" tells the story of Juno, a high school girl with a very independent personality, who suddenly decides to steal the forbidden fruit with her boyfriend one day, but after this lack of safety measures, Juno becomes pregnant. And in a country like the United States, where abortion is banned, how she treats her pregnancy, her relationship with her boyfriend, and the reaction of her parents and family, etc.
What's more, Juno is only 16 years old!
Teenage early pregnancy theme!?
In North America, this is an extremely sensitive topic, don't you see the two parties (Democrats and Republicans) fighting over women's abortion every year?
Although most people on the other side of the ocean think that Europe and the United States are extremely open societies, in fact, it is Europe that is really open, and North America, as a traditional Christian country, has monogamy and family values that are the absolute mainstream of society.
It can be said that in this regard, North America is more like an Asian country than a European or American country.
"Boss, this film is ......," Henry said a little incoherently.
"But I'm pretty bullish. Sean spoke, and he said with an excited expression: "With such an impactful theme, the enthusiasm of the audience must be easily activated from the beginning. ”
Sean is speaking from the side of promotion and marketing.
"But would such a sensitive subject be opposed by the PTA (Parent and Teacher Association)?" said Henry, frowning.
