Chapter 901: The scum must also be scum
"My role was the first to be decided, and there are a lot of scenes, and I can even say that I am the male lead."
Escuber was proud, "And it's a white film, and I beat all my opponents through the standard audition process." β
"Is it the only black, the good, the dead?"
Song Ya made fun of him. Because of political correctness, unless there is a movie of a certain period, Hollywood will bring at least one black actor in the movie, generally a positive role, the kind of selfless selflessness to save others, so it is often halfway to hang points, which has gradually become a widely circulated meme.
"Hah! Survive to the end in a horror thriller, otherwise I won't act, and they need to borrow my fame. "Escuber bragged about it.
"Horror films? Small cost? "It sounds like this project is a bit hanging.
βFxxkyouοΌ APLUS, with a budget of 45 million, Columbia Pictures production and distribution is all-inclusive, and this time I'm not kidding. β
As a singer crossover, most of the dramas starring Escubus in recent years are street black themes with funds into the group, and the box office has losses and profits, and overall the vision is very good, the blockbuster block boy is not counted, at the beginning of last year, he gave his good brother Gary Gray the opportunity to make his directorial debut, a "Friday" is small and big, the production cost is only 3.5 million, and the box office is nearly 30 million.
"Do you know about the casting of actresses?" Song Ya asked him.
"The whole film only needs ten actors, and two female characters ......," Escuber introduced.
The Anaconda disaster is actually a heroine, with the heroine's first-person perspective, according to the script introduced by Escuber, it will be very outstanding, sexy, strong, vigorous, independent, and fight with the terrifying python of the Amazon basin to the end and survive.
Another female supporting role is also okay, after all, there are only ten actors, and they are all crew members on an expedition ship.
"Anyway, help me keep an eye out for the female role audition?"
Columbia Pictures' big production, 45 million can be considered a big production, they have always liked Escubber, because of the successful cooperation of the block boys back then, but this time Escubus failed to win the funds to enter the group, the block boys missed some box office revenue from Columbia Pictures that time, and Columbia Pictures will not give another chance, so his influence on the crew is not enough.
"OK, let's keep in touch."
But it's no problem to ask about the casting progress, knock on the side to help, and inform yourself of the news.
Although Motura exerted some influence and infiltrated Columbia Pictures during his tenure as president of North Missoni Entertainment, it is now Warner John Cali in charge, and John Cali is now on good terms with him...... At least on the surface, it's good. The last time the two sides 'made peace', he also promised to give something back in the film industry as a condition for him to give up working against Sony.
According to Mira's current situation, it is estimated that she will strive for a female match, and she should be able to help.
After receiving Escuber's refreshing reply, Song Ya asked, "By the way, 2PAC said that he wants to collaborate with you on a new song?" What, you're planning to go back to the gangster rap scene this year? β
"Uh......"
Escubus on the other end of the line spat out, "Yes, I promised 2PAC, but ......"
After the Battle of the East and West Coasts, as . A's old member, Escubus is gradually becoming marginalized in the West Coast gangster rap circle, and the result of his headlong plunge into Hollywood to protect himself is that everyone is now almost forgetting about him, and even the little singers who rely on 2PAC to eat are more discussed on the radio than him.
The trend of the industry and the taste of the audience change very quickly, as a smart person, he found that if he didn't come back to make some news, he would really be out of luck in the music industry, so he also followed the example of 2PAC and Biggie, and made a gangster rap group with a younger brother.
The above are all speculations made by Song Ya based on the industry intelligence collected by A+ Records, "But what? He wanted to hear what Escubus had to say.
"It's going to be a little later, I feel that the atmosphere inside the death row record is a bit weird, and I wanted to wait until the second half of the year...... But you know, 2PAC's big mouth can't keep any secrets, and he used my support as a show off to DISS East Coast. Escuber said.
"Weird? Because of what? Song Ya asked.
"I can't say it, it's just feeling, intuition...... APLUS Brothers. "He has reservations.
Anyway, it's none of her business, Song Ya hung up the phone and called Snoop Dogg to spy on him, and he was also left behind after being dealt with by others.
In short, I can help Mira again, just a supporting role, and I should be able to hang up the phone with John Cali, which is the president of Colombia. Plus the song promised to Mira...... should be able to make up for the blockbuster heroine and other fashion industry opportunities she lost after breaking up with the French director.
He flipped through John Calley's phone address book and pressed his finger on the dial button.
Wait, wait...... Mira didn't say anything, so she called to apologize, asked if the song was still counted, and didn't even say anything for help, so she gave the package gift with both hands?
And what about after licking her back to herself? Another stable girlfriend? Then he turned around and lived a life of arguing and bickering every day, stealing food like a thief?
"Definitely, I don't have much self-control right now......"
He knew exactly what Mira's personality was before, and now, in Los Angeles, there was a large area of lush forest waiting for him.
No, he put down his phone, planning to find a chance to meet Mira first, spread everything out and make a decision clearly, and the scum must be clear.
"Mr. Johnny Carson is waiting for you at the hotel." Hayden reminded.
"Okay."
Put your thoughts away, at least at this Oscars, Song Ya knows that her publicly inseparable 'lover' will be Johnny Carson, the talk show king who once ruled the whole meter for 30 years, walking the red carpet, taking the seats at the awards ceremony and even taking the stage to receive the Best Adapted Screenplay Award, if possible.
After the Cat and Mouse Game failed to win the Golden Globe Awards, he and Hollywood Studios President Linton both felt that Harvey Weinstein didn't really help this year, and both began to use their own methods to show their talents, Linton used the parent company Disney to carry out public relations activities, and he used the old way of the record industry to win the awards, by mailing the judges the so-called supplement of the American music magazine, with the cat-and-mouse game movie soundtrack CD, movie videotape, MD player and even VCR and other 'small' gifts.
At this time, Johnny Carson's cooperation is particularly important, the old man's many years of contacts are about to expire if they are not dug up, Song Ya and Linton got from him the contact information, public relations tricks and unspoken rules of many Academy of Film Arts and Sciences bigwigs.
"APLUS, APLUS, MY LITTLE APLUS."
After a few years of loneliness after retirement, Johnny Carson, who was able to return to the center of the public eye by winning an Oscar, was also very active in calling public relations in person, but it is difficult to say whether that shady and mean mouth will be counterproductive.
The old man was full of energy today, and welcomed him with open arms in the hotel suite, "No one can question our investment vision this time!" β
All his life, he has been obsessed with repeated defeats in business and the schadenfreude of his opponents, the cat and mouse game he invested in was a big hit, the adapted script was nominated for an Oscar, and he could still slap his face back in the twilight of his life.
Speaking of which, if it weren't for these benefits, there would have been no need to write his name in the screenwriter's column, and his first version of the cat and mouse game script would have been sold long ago.
He has won six Emmy Awards, a Peabody Award, the Grand Commander Medal of Freedom, a Kennedy Center Award, and almost every other honor a talk show host can get and has been inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame, but he has never touched an Oscar in his life, let alone has a good chance of winning it now!
The old man looked at himself how pleasing to the eye, and gave him an extremely warm hug when he met.
"You deserve it, Mr. Carson."
Song Ya smiled and complimented. There are also a lot of hidden benefits from this old man, such as Mr. Roy Disney's care for the cat-and-mouse game project, such as a lot of help in Oscar's public relations, sometimes the tips on finding people and how to find the right people are actually just a matter of one sentence, but if you can say this sentence accurately, you will definitely not be able to do it without many years of experience and connections.
During the Oscars, he was inseparable from this old man, and always expressing his respect for him with body movements and words can also bring him a lot of goodwill among middle-aged and elderly white audiences, and now he needs these things to recover the lost points in the divorce.
"But you're late APLUS, I've been in this hotel for three days, and Hollywood before and after the Oscars is wonderful." "If I were younger, you wouldn't have imagined how crazy I could be," he laughed. β
Indeed, this old man was interviewed by various media in his suite all day, and he was more active than himself and Linton.
"Hey, guys." Another highly motivated author, the legendary con artist Abbagner, also took the opportunity to jump up and down Hollywood, eyeballs, and market his new book and paid speeches.
The Oscars are a big stage, a big business, and the practitioners and business opportunities that the film industry can accommodate are much larger than those of the record industry.
Then, Kunes and three other co-writers also followed Abagnell, as well as the soundtrack artist who was nominated for Best Film Score with Song Ya, and John Malkovich, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, and Johnny Carson prepared a small salon for everyone in this suite.
Before the crew drew the final end, everyone was in good spirits, friendly, harmonious, and praised each other.
"The Art of Stealing, Your New Book."
Songya and Linton focused on negotiating with Abagnell for the rights to adapt his new book as a sequel to the cat-and-mouse game, "Couldn't it be cheaper?" Linton asked.
"It's not up to me, it's up to your competitors." This liar is proud, how can he let go, "The one with the highest price wins, it's fair, isn't it?" Just a hint, you have a lot of opponents, and they are very strong......"
"Maybe I can give a part?"
Jared Leto, who is already a popular actor in Hollywood, joined the conversation from behind Song Ya, "Mr. Abbagnell, I don't shy away from saying that your new book is important to my career. MR. APLUS, MR. LINTON, IS THAT OKAY? β
Indeed, from his point of view, it is of course best for the cat and mouse game to be filmed as a series, as the male protagonist of the 'first', he was poorly paid at the time, and the sequel? Hehe, the producer doesn't want to take the risk of changing roles halfway, so he has to open his mouth and compromise with his lion.
Inflated oh boy, "I don't care. Song Ya kept smiling and looked at Linton.
The lead actor intervenes in the producer's script choice? Disney's tradition is not used to this kind of stinky problem, and Linton immediately frowned, "I don't want to talk to an actor about this kind of thing on this occasion, let your agent meet me in the office in the right way, Jared." β
"Okay, I'm sorry Mr. Linton." Jared Leto apologized in horror.
"Let's talk."
Song Ya saw Amy, who had just appeared at the door and was looking around, casually put the wine glass on the waiter's tray and strode over.
βHiοΌβ Amy greeted in surprise.
βHeyγβ He went up to a bear hug, and the salon was full of acquaintances, and it was fine.
It's nice to never have to sneak around anymore......
