Chapter 256: What a Sarcasm

In general, the production company is developing well, and Vladimir has already targeted several small production companies, which can be acquired as long as the funds are available.

In addition to the channels of small companies, the most important thing is to value their film libraries, which have dozens to hundreds of film libraries, and it is best to enrich their film libraries.

It's a pity that the really valuable film library has long been carved up by large companies and studios, and Samsara Pictures can only find some leftovers, even if it collects thousands of movies, I am afraid that it may not be worth a hundred of others.

But Samsara Pictures has to do this, and I have said before the value of the film library, if a film company wants to develop itself in the long run, it is necessary to have a certain number of film libraries.

Although the remaining films are not of high value, there is always a victory over nothing, as long as the purchase price is within an acceptable range, and this is up to Vladimir to deal with.

Sean now seems to be in a strange circle, his side hustles are developing well, not to mention the development of the production company mentioned above, but the single released has achieved results that many singers may not achieve in their lifetime.

So far, YouRaiseMeUp has been in the top 10 of Billboard's TOP100 for almost 19 weeks, and at the top of the charts for a full 17 weeks!

That's a remarkable number, because before that, the longest time at the top of the Billboard Top 100 was Mariah Carey and BoyzIIMen's OneSweetDay. After the song was released in November 1995, because one was a superstar and the other was a popular group, the strong cooperation quickly formed a chemical effect, and it finally entrenched for 16 weeks after landing at the top of the chart.

This record has been held by no one and will continue if nothing else.

But Sean released "YouRaiseMeUp" in October last year, which is the most powerful time he has instigated his wings as a butterfly.

In the original time and space, this "YouRaiseMeUp" as an Irish song has never been released in North America, and naturally it has not been on the Billboard charts. In addition, the song itself is not to commemorate 911, but Americans listen to it and feel that it is very suitable for the feelings that need to be vented, which connects them.

In addition, Mystic Garden released this song at the beginning of 02, when the wounds of 911 had been alleviated with the fall of the Taliban, so even if it spread to North America and was covered by many people, although the influence was great, it was not big enough to go against the sky.

But now it's different, Sean is now an American, and a well-known actor, and at the time of the 911 incident, he donated 5 million at a time, and then donated 7 million yuan to be recognized and praised by many people, and it was released shortly after the disaster, and it was a single specially produced to appease the people in China.

In this case, several factors work together, plus some unnecessary but fueling conditions, such as Sean Although it is the first time to give a voice, he still sings at a very high level, or the producers of the two songs are completely different, but the reference tunes and lyrics are similar, so they seem amazingly similar, and together there is the current record-breaking phenomenon, who made this song a patriotic song?

In the beginning, the media was used to saying bad things about Sean, and even in that kind of national support for him, they would still say that it might be better to sing it alone, but the longer "YouRaiseMeUp" stayed on the billboard, the less confident they became.

"It's a wonderful song, and it would be nice if we could change the singer." When YouRaiseMeUp landed at the top of the Billboard TOP100 list, a newspaper commented.

"Sean sings pretty well, but he obviously deserves more systematic vocal training." This is a review in a newspaper five weeks after the top of the list.

"He's done the best he can and shouldn't be too demanding." This is a review in a newspaper ten weeks after the top of the list.

"Quite a perfect singing, Sean's small shortcomings have become the most attractive part of this song, this is the singing full of emotion." This is 14 weeks on the list, after flattening most of the records, a newspaper comment.

"It's a great song, and whether or not Sean will release his own music in the future, he will leave a big mark in the history of pop music!" This was the review of a newspaper after setting a new record.

It can be seen from this that the media's discipline is like, to be honest, even the New York Post, which pretends to be deaf and dumb in this situation, is not as good.

Of course, from Sean's point of view, it would be better to have a little more of this wallgrass.

In short, his fame in music is almost more than that in movies, and he was once invited to participate in a radio show, and the other party directly introduced him as a singer, and then praised him for being so good even if he went to sit as an actor, and his performance in "Dance of Death Row Prisoners" was praised, and Sean was not embarrassed.

In addition, people who know him often tease him with this, after all, it is not for nothing that he is an actor and a singer, but there are very few who may have achieved remarkable achievements at the same time.

In this case, after this year's Oscar list was released, the originally highly requested Best Supporting Actor nominations were nowhere to be seen, and "Dance of Death Row Inmates" only had two nominations: Best Actress and Best Original Screenplay, and Sean was even more embarrassed and depressed.

"They were so disappointing that they didn't even want to get a small nomination." Sean, who was looking through the news in his notebook, said this with a half-sigh and half-complaint.

"It's luck, Sean, it's not that if you perform well, the film school will definitely give you nominations or even awards." The beauty, who was sitting on the sofa peeling an apple, said in an indifferent tone.

She was wearing a lake-green dress, her legs half curled up on the sofa, and the curves of her calves were half covered and half exposed, which had a faint sense of sultry. The blonde hair is simply tied in a bun at the back of the head, but it can't stop the natural noble and elegant temperament, who else can it be but Cate Blanchett.

"Why, are you still complaining that you didn't win the award for Elizabeth in the first place?" Sean raised his head when he heard this, and asked with a smile.

"No, I'm unlikely to win without Gwyneth, don't forget, I'm Australian." Kate was still indifferently peeling the apple.

Her head was slightly tilted, and the white goose neck was unobstructed, like an elegant swan, bending her neck and looking at herself in the water quietly, so that Sean couldn't help but want to go up and kiss her.

So he did, and Kate didn't dodge, just wrapped her arms around her waist and put her lower lip print on her neck.

"But I've heard that winning awards depends more on luck, and nominations only require strength." Sean said this at this time, and then changed the topic with a smile: "It's a pity that "The Perfect Thief" was not released last year, otherwise with your performance in it, you would definitely be able to participate in the competition." ”

"Do you really think so?" Kate, who slice the shaved apples into small pieces and put them in a bowl, finally turned her head and raised her eyebrows, "In my opinion, it is good enough to compete for a Golden Globe award in the music or comedy genre." ”

"Actually, that's what I'm talking about," Sean said with a "you've been fooled" look, "if you can compete for the Golden Globes for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy, then the previous awards ceremony will certainly not be so boring." ”

Kate immediately rolled her eyes angrily, wanting to stare at him with her hands on her hips, but then found that Sean was carefully wiping her hand with a tissue that was stained with juice from peeling apples.

She couldn't help but sigh softly in her heart, he has always been like this, he pays great attention to those subtle places, and he can win the favor of women.

"Anyway, you're going to be much better than me," Sean shrugged at this point, "You've got a lot of good works before, and I managed to put on a solo show in 'Sniper Phone Booth', but I couldn't let everyone see it, and it turned out to be what I am now - singer?" Or an actor? It's a question worth considering. ”

When he said Zuihou, he deliberately lengthened his voice and brought an aria, as if he was reading the lines of "Hamlet", and at the same time, his face was full of helpless, depressed, sad, and sighing expressions, which seemed extremely funny.

His face is also amazing, showing so many expressions at the same time, it will not be confusing, even if Kate is mentally prepared and knows that he is funny, but she can't help but pounce out.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Sean continued to make an innocent appearance.

"Okay, I know you're good at acting, but can you not be so funny in front of me!" Kate couldn't help but clench her fist and squeeze her knuckles against his head.

"I just want to complain," Sean spread his hands, still looking innocent, "You know, the film school didn't give me a nomination, and invited me to sing "YouRaiseMeUp" at this year's awards party, oh my god, did any of them get their brains in water?" ”

"Inviting you to sing 'YouRaiseMeUp' at the awards ceremony?" Kate's eyes widened.

You know, although it is a great honor to be able to sing songs at the Oscars, more than 95% of them are the theme songs of various movies, although there are also one or two other songs, but they are basically funny genres, and this song released by Sean, which has comforted countless people who were injured in the disaster last year, can be so valued by the film school, but ......

"Yes, really...... It's ironic. Sean grinned and sighed heavily, this time it wasn't pretending.

"Who made you release such a good song," Kate couldn't help but squeeze, but then relieved, "but that's also an affirmation of youβ€”what are you going to do?" ”

Sean raised his head and looked into her eyes, with a hint of hidden worry in the depths of his gray and blue eyes, he smiled: "Of course I agreed, otherwise what else could I do?" ”

As he spoke, he reached out and patted Kate's gently and "Don't worry, I know what I have to do." ”

Kate didn't speak again, stared at Sean for a long time, and then pinched the bridge of her nose with a sense of something: "By the way, Sean, I may be ...... today"

"It's okay, I understand." Sean didn't wait for her to speak before taking over, "Then, it's still the old rule, you leave first, and then I'll wait for more than ten minutes before leaving." ”

His eyes were clear, without the slightest pretense, Kate sighed lightly in her heart, then held his face, lowered her head and kissed his lips, and then pressed against his forehead: "Maybe, I can still spare a little time at the end of this month......"
