Chapter 577: A Trip to Hollywood

APLUS's musical talent is certainly good, everyone admits it, and I admit it, but I still need to say for the record: this young man is squandering his talent, and that Game of Thrones symphony piece has always been my favorite, but it is too short, and its owner has no intention of continuing on the broad road of classical music...... I don't despise pop music, but I feel that he has lost himself in recent years from chasing the pop elements of the season, and how can those assembly line products of the music industry become heirlooms and make them truly known as musicians? ’

“WTF?”

Song Ya typed the keyword 'APLUS' into the box in the upper right corner of the test homepage, and then clicked the magnifying glass button, and saw a column in the latest issue of America Music Magazine expressing dissatisfaction with himself from the search results. ”

"Are you alright? The author also affirmed your musical talent, didn't he? ”

The American music magazine is not under the control of Dile, and he laughs unburdenedly.

"Uh, then why did you pin this article to the top?" He asked.

"What's on top?" Delai looked at Yan Hong, who was in charge of the search function on the site.

Yan Hong didn't understand either, revealing a blank look.

"It's about putting this article first in the search results."

What's on top? Song Ya didn't have a concept herself, so she just blurted it out naturally.

"The searchable results are sorted by the date the article was published." Yan Hong replied.

"I don't like this article, can't I get it out of the way of the visitor's attention?" Song Ya asked her.

"Visitors love being able to browse the latest content at first glance, APLUS." DeLay reminded.

"I don't like the article anyway, I'm the boss." Song Ya looked at Yan Hong, "Can it be realized?" Get the articles I like to the first page of the search results. ”

"Please wait a minute......"

Yan Hong thought for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "We can come up with a recommendation sort and replace the search results on the homepage with the articles you specified!" ”

"That's it! You're smart, Yan Hong......"

Song Ya sincerely appreciated, "Just do it, put this, this, and this ......" He casually clicked a few positive articles related to the new movie and new album, "Bring it up, and then I'll look at Mimi's search results, huh...... Take down this article about her again. ”

"The words are good, do a good job, I'll ask Delay to give you a bonus."

Song Ya waited for Yan Hong to take notes, looked at the neat handwriting, shook hands with this Chinese beauty with satisfaction, and then said a few words of encouragement with a president-like face, and Shi Shiran left his company.

After dealing with Sunnyvale's side of things, Song Ya went to Los Angeles to run the announcement, and by the way, he visited Linton, the president of Hollywood Pictures, with Yeremov and Hayden.

"Mr. Linton."

In the morning, after sitting down in the other party's office, Song Ya got straight to the point, "Do you still insist on not transferring the film adaptation rights that don't arrest me if you have the ability?" ”

Linton, a young and energetic white man in his thirties, with a long chin and a somewhat weird face, said, "Yes, APLUS, if you like this project, then we'll work together." ”

"It's impossible, you know, my projects are usually with Universal." Song Ya said: "And Hollywood Pictures belongs to Disney. ”

"Your dance is a great example of my life, it is a typical case of small and big recently, many Hollywood companies are researching, and I believe that a large number of follow-up will be launched next year."

The other said, "I suggest you don't put your eggs in one basket, APLUS." ”

"But I want to increase some investment in this film, and you only have more than five million dollars of experience in making films with a budget of no more than five million dollars, and most of the projects have failed." Song Ya fought back, "The sequel project of Dancing My Life will also unfold as expected, and I hope to continue to cooperate with Universal to save costs." ”

"Then there is no way, I don't want to transfer the film adaptation rights of this book." Linton was tougher.

"Well, let me excuse me, Mr. Linton, after a series of upheavals, your company is not doing well right now, is it?"

Yeremov interjected, "We can buy the script and adaptation rights at a good price." ”

"I'm sorry, it's okay to shoot together, but it's not okay to transfer."

Linton waved his hand impatiently, "If you insist on this, then there is no need to talk about it." We do have a small budget production under Disney, and after a series of turmoil, I don't want to do any big gambling projects, so I specialize in small productions, with the main goal of launching the video tape market and breaking even. But I can approve a special resource for this project, our company is small, but it is a film label directly controlled by Disney, and we can use the resources of Disney's distribution company, Bergwell Pictures, without hindrance......"

"This transfer income will make your performance look a lot better, and it will be more comfortable inside Disney, won't it?"

Song Ya continued to persuade.

"Hah! Expect Katzenberg to put pressure on me, right? ”

Linton's gaze froze, "There are no secrets in Hollywood, I know your intentions to APLUS, but I'm sure you also know that Katzenberg has been in a bad situation lately." ”

No way, this guy is very alert, Song Ya originally planned to wait for Katzenberg to officially take the position, but he didn't expect that Disney CEO Michael Eisner, who was hanging on the operating table at any time, suddenly operated a series of high-level personnel adjustments recently, and it was obvious that he didn't want to put the power in the hands of Katzenberg at all, Katzenberg was forced to launch a Jedi fight on the board of directors, but failed, the Disney family and other shareholders chose to firmly trust Michael Eisner, who saved the company, and would rather pay Katzenberg a sum of money Breakup fee', and didn't want him to continue to stay in the company, causing infighting.

Originally, Song Ya also planned to use other channels to buy the adaptation rights of the cat-and-mouse game prototype, but Linton was squeezed out of Disney Copyrights to Hollywood Pictures with Katzenberg's 'credit', and now, it is the turn of office politics to reckoning time......

After all, I just want to buy the adaptation rights that have been idle for more than ten years, and it is best to add various versions of the original script, but now this matter has become a beam with a bit of grudges between the two sides, which is complicated.

"I'm not that kind of person." Song Ya explained, "You know, I could have done this a long time ago, but I've always been very disciplined in talking to you, and A+ Film Studio has never asked Katzenberg, although I have done business with him and have a good relationship." ”

Now he has to do a relationship with Linton in turn, even if the deal can't be done, at least he can't set up an enemy for no reason, so he can only give up the original plan and come to talk in person.

"I understand, I understand."

Linton's mood eased, "But the adaptation rights are resolutely not sold, it's not about economic interests, it's politics." I can't be seen as a character like Barn Sr., who sold his chemical plant cheaply and then you resold it for 100 million, right? Everyone knows this story, and the fact that a professional manager becomes the negative protagonist of this kind of story is much worse than a movie project that loses tens of millions. Let's work together, APLUS, I know why you want to make this movie about a liar, your ex-girlfriend's father, that Mr. Jovovich's fraud case will be sentenced next summer, you want to catch up with this wave of popularity, right? It's funny. ”

"Uh...... Sort of. ”

Song Ya didn't expect the other party to have such a wonderful association, but it was still ...... It made sense, so I simply admitted it.

"How much budget do you plan to spend on this film?" Linton asked, "We can talk to your A+ Film Studio fifty fifty." ”

"I haven't gotten the adaptation rights yet."

"Tell me?"

"Uh...... Looking for Tom Hanks to be the second male? ”

“WTF!? Hahaha......"

Leaving Hollywood Studios for nothing, "What does Katzenberg plan to do in the future?" He asked Yeremov and Hayden.

"Who knows...... Yeremov shrugged, "Ask David Geffen later, he'll know for sure." ”

"Okay."

David Geffen also wanted to participate in the sequel project of Into and Dance Out of My Life, so he made an appointment to talk in the afternoon, but when Song Ya passed, he ran into MJ's agent Sandy Glenn and lawyer Lee Phillips, "Hey, Sandy, Lee, what's wrong with you?" He noticed that the two men had heavy faces.

"MJ is stupid, stupid."

Sandy Glenn kept shaking his head and sighing, "Hello, APLUS, David is in there, but he may not be in the mood to meet you." After a brief greeting, the two left.

There was also an argument halfway through, and Lee Phillips suddenly lost his temper and yelled at Sandy Glenn, "What can I do!?" What can I do!? He didn't see anyone at all, he was like Robert I (King of Scotland, suffering from leprosy)! Hide in a house where you don't see the light of day and give orders by handwriting sticky notes! The devil knows what's going on in his head! ”
