Song Ya is used to the life of such an almighty little assistant, and she doesn't even hide it from her in a private meeting with Mariah Carey, how can she let her go and become an actor, "You have a very good annual salary now, what is the supporting actress paid for?" And in my future business empire, there must be a management position for you, compared to those third-rate Hollywood actresses who are desperately camping for a small role, it is not difficult to choose, right? ”

What he said is not a pie, if he puts all his current business together, it is a proper medium-sized company.

"My dream is to be an actor." "If I hadn't been your assistant, I'd have graduated and gone to Hollywood," she said. ”

Her words made Song Ya a little unhappy, "Haha, so you blame me for delaying your future?" ”

"Nope."

She grabbed her arm and shook it like a child, "Just give me a role to play and play, okay?" ”

"It's also the second female, how can I play for others, this is my first movie, and I must not fail." Song Ya is cold-blooded and ruthless, "And that character will sing on stage in the movie." ”

"You can lip-sync singing, it's in a lot of movies." After getting into the car, she didn't go to the usual passenger seat, ran to the back seat, helped pinch her back, and beat her legs.

"Hoo ......"

Song Ya couldn't stand it anymore, "Come on, I haven't seen you so attentive in my daily life, and you often roll your eyes, so okay to give you another role?" ”

"That gang member woman, dancing with you at the beginning and causing a brawl?" Taragi reads the script by heart.

"That's not going to work, I'm going to ask Hallie to help with the cameo."

That role only has one dance, Song Ya is going to find Halle Berry to dance, if the actor she is looking for is not beautiful, such as a look like Taraghi, why should the male protagonist clash with the gang members for her hard head? Then the plot would be completely unconvincing, and of course he wasn't ruthless enough to say this kind of thing directly to the assistant.

"Then there are no female characters left? The principal of an art school? "Taraghi is not reconciled.

"The headmistress must be white and must be older......"

Song Ya shook his head.

The plot of youth love and musical drama looks simple, but it is much more difficult for a play to stabilize every character than he imagined before, and the art school in the movie is a metaphor for white people, rich people and other social characteristics that are completely opposite to the living environment of the male protagonist, so the female principal must be white, and her appearance and demeanor must have an elegant aristocratic temperament.

She suddenly remembered Xue Linfen, no, the role of the school principal is a bit old for her current age, she would rather choose a little secretary with fewer roles in the fatal instinct casting than an older protagonist in the play, if she told her to ask her to play a principal, it would probably make her angry.

"Huh? She's all evaporated from the world, and I'm still thinking about a fart! "Shake your head and put your thoughts away.

For the role of the second female, Taraghi seemed to be a different person, and in the days that followed, he gave himself meticulous service, his eyes were gone, he always smiled at all, just sat down, the coffee with the right temperature was delivered to him, and when he walked to the door, his coat was already draped on his body, he was an all-round little secretary during the day, and he could do whatever he wanted at night......

"Okay, okay, then, let's give you a later audition round, and you can fight for that role yourself. However, it must not affect the work of the assistant. ”

Song Ya, who was comforted, could only relax, and she couldn't help herself if she didn't give some sweetness.

In addition to polishing the dialogue more finely, his basketball master character was also suggested by the screenwriter to be moved to white partners, otherwise the follow-up plot about him persuading white partners to leave the streets and work hard for their own future will not hold.

APLUS seems to be playing for real, and now both Hayden, who barely spoke in the script before, and Amy, who is bored at home, recognize this, Amy practices dance harder, and Hayden also takes Donovan to Chicago.

"Would you like to try William Morris's package service?"

Donovan has his eye on the Dancing My Life project, "From the director to the lighting, from the actors to the theater, we can prepare the most suitable person for you." ”

The packaging service invented by CAA has squeezed William Morris enough, and buying CAA's packaging service means that the job opportunities in the whole project have nothing to do with William Morris's contracted employees, and they have had to put down their high shelves to learn from their mortal enemies in the past two years, and there have been several successful packaging cases.

"Isn't it too early to talk about this?" Song Ya pushed back the document handed over by the other party,

"At your pace, I don't think it's too early." Hayden said, "I know how strong you are APLUS. ”

"Let's put it first, I still have the most critical questions and I don't have a clue." Song Ya shook her head, "You guys also give some advice." ”

If a film project is to be launched, whether to open a film company by itself, or to set up a studio to cooperate with a mature production company, who to distribute it to, how to distribute it, and whether it can ensure that it will not be cheated by the distribution company that occupies an absolutely strong position, these all need to be preconditions set in advance.

"Why do you have to talk to the director first?"

Donovan listened to Song Ya's statement, "Otherwise, you won't be able to make a budget, and our director William Morris ......"

"Don't ......"

Song Ya didn't want to give them too much hope, although she was willing to buy a mature package service, but it was really early to talk about this, and the director had his own considerations, "I asked Yeremov to do the budget, and everything will be said when he comes back." ”

The key to the initial budget was the location, the original film was shot in Baltimore, and the show also depicted Baltimore's street scenes, and the art school was a nod to the famous Maryland Institute of Art. And the street location of my film must be in Chicago, the street part of the cost should not be large, the indoor plot in the art school accounts for the majority, and the cost of shooting in Chicago is definitely higher than Baltimore.

Therefore, Yeremov first hired a part-time job as a senior location selector of Amperin Entertainment, and he would contact some professional or part-time location spies scattered all over the country, first assign tasks, and then select suitable scenes from the photos they sent back, and then pay the selected ones, and go to the relevant locations to inquire about the conditions and prices of the rental locations.

Since the main filming location was set in Chicago, and Amperin Entertainment happened to be cooperating with Warner TV in Chicago to jointly prepare a TV series called "The Story of the Emergency Room (ER)", Song Ya was too embarrassed to talk to Catherine again, so she asked Yeremov to ask the other party for help through personal connections.

"Well, then I'll wait for your news, don't forget William Morris." Donovan had no choice but to take his leave.

"Don't worry, I will give priority to you under the same conditions." Song Ya replied.

Same ......

That would be tantamount to competing with others, Donovan darkened his face and said goodbye with a worried heart.

Hayden simply didn't leave, staring at Song Ya until the good news came from Yeremov.

"Everyone knew it wasn't possible to borrow an entire art school, so we split up a few scenes."

"The school corridors, staircases, some classrooms, etc., could be shot in Hollywood, this small theater could be used as a theater for an art school, and then we used the big dance practice room here, and two important filming locations were in Chicago. When the time comes, the audience will think that these scenes are all in one place, and as for the location of the party......"

The scenery selection artist of Amperin Entertainment is very professional, and all the architectural styles that jump out are very uniform, "Yes." Song Ya nodded, "Is this the cheapest?" ”

"Well, best value for money." Yeremov replied.

"Okay, what about the preliminary budget?" Song Ya asked.

Yeremov took out a document, "according to the assumption that you starred almost with a completely new person......"

"Hallie's cameo pay should be in line with her coffee position, and APLUS is also an A-List singer...... "Hayden began to fight for William Morris.

"That's about eight million dollars."

Yeremov took out two more bills, "Because the two screenwriters do not sign their names, they count them as completing a personal task for you, and the money is paid by you personally." As for the cost of the location, the bill is also here, and this is the first expense of my life project, and then there is me as the executive producer...... Hey. ”

"The budget of 8 million is already not a low production cost, and the block boy only spent 6.5 million."

Song Ya looked at it a little and signed the bill, "My favorite director is John Singleton, the director of the block boys." ”

"He was nominated for two Oscars for his debut, and now is the most popular time." Hayden reminded, "There will definitely be a high price, and it is rumored that he was paid two million dollars for the 'Justines Who Wrote Poetry' for Jenny Jackson, and the production budget of the whole movie was only 14 million." ”

"Anyway, let's contact it first, I'm definitely not looking for him for two million dollars."

Song Ya said: "What I fancy is his ability to do big things with little money, if he himself is not cheap, then why should I look for him?" ”
