Chapter 339: The Second Generation
The heroine is Xue Linfen, and Song Ya readily agreed to Motula's recommendation, but soon, he regretted it.
"Jennifer, I struggled to get permission to use some of the BET news footage, and I also loved the unofficial version of the music video that CBS edited for me, so I didn't want the official music video to deviate too much from that track."
"Wait, I wrote this song because of the events in Los Angeles, why not use the news footage at the time?"
"Insert it appropriately, and I didn't ask for much space."
"Are you listening to me?"
"Am I talking to you calmly? How can I have a bad attitude? ”
"Well, I reaffirm that I am my song and my opinion needs to be respected......"
"You M-FX...... Ahem, who do you think you are!? ”
He was really annoyed by the twenty-four-year-old woman with a big forehead in front of him wearing a black tight vest, jeans, and a bomber jacket.
Song Ya thought that she had a way of dealing with women, and before the meeting, she deliberately complimented and flattered her, and she didn't expect to meet such a cold second generation guide.
Angrily ending the first preparatory meeting, he went upstairs to find Motula.
"Jennifer? She's a nice person, and she gets along well with the rock singers of the New Model March. ”
Motura was surprised, "Are you really going to make a substitution?" We've signed a contract with her, and we've only had our first meeting, and if we get out, we're going to say you're playing big and get rid of the director, and she's David Lynch's daughter. At that time, you will lose money with us, and the cost of the MV will be taken from the 8 million publicity budget account shared by us. ”
"You're going to support me, aren't you?"
The budget for this MV is high, the producer was sent by Sony Columbia Records, and Song Ya also knew that she couldn't do what she said.
"Of course, but I advise you to communicate with her again, she made commercial movies at the age of twenty-four, it's normal to be a little arrogant, you have a better attitude." Motura said.
Song Ya spread his hands, "My attitude is already very good, you know me." ”
"Eighteen-year-old African-American A-List hip-hop singer, who do you think the public will favor with the highly anticipated twenty-four-year-old white female director?"
The desk phone rang, and Motura picked up the phone, "Haha, I know, MJ's world tour was very successful, and setting records is for sure, right...... At the end of the year, December 31 ended the first round of ......"
MJ's Dangerous Journey World Tour was extremely popular, and he happily hugged the phone and chatted, "Then I'll go first." Song Ya had no choice but to leave.
"Hmm." Motura raised her hand at him to indicate that she understood.
"I want more information about Jennifer Lynch, be more detailed, be precise, you don't know much about it, let Hayden inquire through William Morris."
There was no time to deal with this matter now, and Song Ya gave orders to Yeremov as he walked out.
"I've been away for a long time, and that's how Hollywood is, it's changing, everything is amazingly fast."
Yeremov defended himself and hurried to call Hayden.
Leave him alone, go to the parking lot, and set off with a few cars waiting there, heading for Queens.
"Twenty-five minutes left for your turn to play."
Waiting for the car to park at a location arranged by the NAS, Taraghi looked at his watch, temporarily acted as a makeup artist, and applied makeup to Song Ya in the car.
"Just order it, I'll only be out for five minutes anyway."
NAS did a good job of secrecy, and the fans only knew that there would be a mysterious guest, and Song Ya decided to come to cheer on the scene, so as not to chill the brothers.
The NAS attendant ran over from afar and handed the bodyguard a walkie-talkie.
What was transmitted was the live voice of NAS, he was singing the single from the first album, East Coast rap plus West Coast gangster style, and jazz elements such as trumpet were used in the music processing, which was well integrated, NAS's words have always been a strong point, a very high-quality album, and the big professor is also one of the producers.
"Everyone, I would like to introduce a guest, my friend and brother, I have known him for a long time, and I have helped a lot in my music career......"
NAS is introduced.
"Mike." Song Ya grabbed the door handle with her hand.
Old Mike got out of the car, and suddenly the bodyguards on the other two cars all came down, came to surround the car door, Song Yala opened the door and went down, and Taragi was protected by them in the middle, NAS followed the way, and the group moved forward quickly, cooperating tacitly.
Soon came to the backstage, someone immediately handed over the microphone, and another staff member helped him put on the ear monitor, although the current manager of NAS is Newman, another executive of Sony Columbia Records, but after all, he was introduced to sign a successful contract, and the company's internal resources are also very sufficient because of him, and the staff here are basically their own people.
"He is! APLUS! ”
After the announcement of NAS, there were deafening cheers from the stage, especially the girls, who let out a frenzied high-decibel scream, and Song Ya walked onto the stage, smiling and greeting the fans in the audience.
"Thank you for coming." NAS bumps fists and hugs him.
"Hey, everyone, NAS is my brother......" Song Ya followed the planned line, "Do you remember the first time we met?" It's in Queens, and that fried chicken restaurant isn't far from here? Rakim was also there, I remember. ”
Of course, he wouldn't say that he went to the fried chicken restaurant to be the middleman for Little Lowry, hiding the main plot, "Wave boy? I thought to myself, that's not a cool name......"
Both the audience and the NAS laughed, and after a few simple business blows, "Please support my brother!" His music is great! ”
The DJ opens the prelude, which is the title song of NAS Halftime, "Yay, Yay, Chek Makes ......"
He began to play a supporting role for NAS, using the words and phrases he had communicated before, most of which were the inherent words of the helper in rap, and accompanied NAS to sing the whole song, and then after some praise, he left the stage safely amid the screams of the audience.
There was no accident, Song Ya breathed a long sigh of relief, and the group returned to Tribeca's house, and the results of Yeremov's investigation came out.
"Jennifer Lynch's love affair with Helena was established in 90 years......"
Yeremov said: "Do you know who the heroine was at the beginning? ”
"Are you selling it to me?" Song Yacai didn't have the leisure to play a guessing game.
"Uh, no, no, no."
Yeremov hurriedly introduced: "Madonna was the heroine at the beginning, and it was decided, but before the start of filming in early 91, I don't know why Madonna suddenly withdrew, and the heroine was replaced by Kim Besinger, and later Kim Besinger also withdrew halfway and was sued by the producer, and this year the court ruled that she had to pay more than 8 million to the producer, which caused Kim Besinger to go bankrupt on the spot......"
The filming plan was delayed, and the male protagonist Edward Harris's entire year's schedule was wasted, and he couldn't bear it anymore, and after leaving the crew, he told the media that he just wanted to move on with his life. So the male and female protagonists had to be replaced, Xue Linfen was filming Shuangfeng Town directed by her father at the time, and was invited by her to save the scene and became the third heroine. It is estimated that only a girl with the character of Xue Linfen can stand her, she only finished filming this year, and will officially debut at the Sundance Film Festival in January next year, and I heard that she was shortlisted for the Grand Jury Award. ”
"She's only twenty-two in '90? Can you independently direct a commercial film starring Madonna? ”
Song Ya frowned, "The three leading actors have left one after another, although there are other factors, there must be a big problem with this movie and this director, right?" ”
"Jennifer Lynch's attitude on the set was very bad, and the filming plan only got better after repeated delays, but basically the one you met today is the real her." Yeremov replied.
"Then what's the point of hesitation, fire her." Song Yacai didn't want to hand over his title song MV to this kind of second-generation director to shoot.
The next day, the two met again at Sony Columbia Records.
"Do you understand my intentions for the adaptation of the script?" She still has that high-minded attitude, and the first sentence she said almost angered Song Ya again.
"Don't think about it, you're no longer the director of this MV." Song Ya informed her with a straight face.
"Hah!"
She laughed contemptuously, "It's a pity that you don't count, the spoiled big singer...... Whether it's here or in Hollywood, it's a production-centric system (the control of the film is concentrated in the hands of the producer), do you know what a producer-centric system is? ”
That's when the producer assigned by Sony Columbia Records walked in, "Miss Jennifer, I'm sorry to inform you that we are going to terminate our collaboration with you. ”
"The penalty will be paid to your account, please." Song Ya got out of the way for her.
