Although the country itself produces a large number of cheap wine, but Song Ya still wants to put the production line in China for a reason, he has a good share of profits in the local VCD, textile and garment factories in 94 years, and has accumulated a soft sister currency funds, but Scott does not want to spend money on the expansion of garment factories, he plans to learn from Wal-Mart to get out of specific production, only place orders for purchases, so that the cost can be suppressed, after all, the quotation obtained from the competition of local township garment enterprises is lower than the ex-factory price of the joint venture factory of A+ clothing.

Song Ya respected the decision of the president of A+ Clothing, so the money still needs to be invested in another industry.

Now there is a good opportunity for poaching in the brewing industry, because Bronfman Jr., the owner of the Canadian liquor giant Seagram, suddenly joined the race to buy Panasonic's Universal Pictures and MCA Records.

The little Bronfman was a standard playboy when he was young, he was tempted by the lustful dogs and horses of the entertainment industry in the United States, stayed in Hollywood for a long time, and in the seventies and eighties, he used his pocket money to test many projects, although he was pitted with nothing but still happy to do it, such as the movie 'Boundary' in 82, starring Oscar-winning actor Jack Nicholson, with a production cost of more than 20 million yuan, and a global box office of only 6 million......

So he just took over the family business last year, and this year he made this seemingly unexpected, but reasonable, crossover decision, that he knows Hollywood more than he knows about the brewing industry.

But this crossover is indeed a bit of a big step, and there was a lot of opposition within Seagram immediately, and many old ministers did not hesitate to threaten his healthy father Edgar Bronfman with resignation, trying to make the family change their minds, but Bronfman Sr. still chose to firmly support his son.

Then it's still the same old routine, Song Ya asked Donovan to wait to pick up the leak through William Morris and a professional headhunter, just like he did last time Sears was unlucky when he poached Scott.

"A small fight, waiting to be slaughtered, but playing so big, little Bronfman may not necessarily be pitted......"

Yeremov rushed to Bedford Hills, dragged Song Ya out of the party held by Mariah Carey, and flew to Los Angeles together, he analyzed: "Although the elder Bronfman is not responsible for the specific management, he will still help keep an eye on it, he is the president of the World Jewish Congress, and he let his son take over the business in advance because he is busy recovering World War II deposits from the Swiss banking industry for Jews, and the Jews in Hollywood will inevitably incur infamy and collective ostracism if they try to pit his family." And one of the major shareholders of Seagram is the DuPont consortium......"

"The Bronfmans are also Jewish? Add to that the Paramount, which Lei Shidong bought last year, and Murdoch's Twentieth Century Fox, and Jews already own three of Hollywood's Big Seven. Song Ya said.

"There are Warner, Disney, MGM, and Columbia left, and it is estimated that the next one who can't hold on will be the Sony department with the same background of the book." Yeremov said.

"Humph......"

Song Ya is noncommittal, the capital of this book is much easier to get along with than the Jewish capital, and the energy in the United States is also small, and he and Daniel are happy to cooperate with Sonny to loosen the soil...... I wish this kind of life would end slowly! But considering that Yeremov was also Jewish, he did not make his attitude clear.

This news is very bad for Spielberg, the same, he and the global executives have teamed up to dig the corners of Panasonic over the years, the good days are suddenly coming to an end, he is so anxious that he decided to immediately start settling with the global on the income of several films under Amperin Entertainment, although this is not in line with the interests of Panasonic, but the global executives who saw that the building was about to collapse were happy to push and half-push, Panasonic's own internal operations had a big problem, and the books didn't have the energy to care.

Amperin Entertainment and they have Jurassic Park, Modern Stone Clan and other big selling projects, and the settlement of Dance My Life has also been advanced, and now Amperin Entertainment is busy because of this temporary change, and the Sequel Project of Dance My Life is likely to be delayed, and Yeremov is anxious.

"Will Zack Schneider be the director of the sequel?" Song Ya asked.

"Are you going to support Amy with all your support?" Yeremov asked rhetorically.

Song Ya shook her head, Zach and herself were not as close as Amy, uh, once......

"That's unlikely, Universal, Amperin Entertainment and Geffen Pictures are all looking for more experienced directors." Yeremov said.

"Is there a goal?" Song Ya asked.

Yeremov handed him a resume, "There you have, Stephen Gyllenhaal, Adam Shankman, and Hecklin." ”

"Adam Shankeman? The guy ...... Don't choose him. ”

Adam Shankman has refused to cooperate with himself several times and has chosen a project that seems better to him, and now he wants to run back to pick fruit? No play! And although he is a great choreographer, he has no experience as a film director.

Song Ya carefully flipped through the information of the other two directors, Stephen Gyllenhaal's works are frequent visitors to various art awards in recent years, won many awards and nominations such as the Emmy Award in 90, and in 93 he filmed the dangerous woman who helped the heroine Debra get a Golden Globe nomination and Tokyo actress.

This person can still have a relationship with himself, he helped David Lynch to shoot one of the episodes of the TV series Twin Peaks in which Xue Linfen participated, and one of the two heroines of the movie "The War of Biological Mothers and Adoptive Mothers" that is being filmed happens to be Halle Berry.

And Hecklin is good at youth films, and he is also a woman, and his masterpiece is the Leap Innocence series.

"Hecklin is right for you, right?" Song Ya used his own experience to make a rough judgment, "Hecklin's artistic achievements are not as good, but his commercial achievements are better and much better." ”

"But it's also more expensive."

Yeremov said: "She now has a project in her hand, Clueless, which she wrote and directed, is also a campus youth film, so she will join the group much later, probably until the second half of 95, and the main energy will definitely not be on dancing the sequel to my life." ”

"And what about Stephen Gyllenhaal's shortcomings?" Song Ya asked, "There's a reason why they hesitated, Szynberg?" ”

"That guy likes to go into battle with the whole family, he is filming a war project for his biological mother and adoptive mother, he is a screenwriter and director, his wife is a screenwriter and producer, and a pair of children play supporting roles......"

"......" Song Ya was speechless, "It's quite a ...... of the Gu family"

"Yes, it's hard to control, and he's going to have a lot more power as a director than Hecklin." Yeremov nodded.

Song Ya heard his off-strings, Stephen Gyllenhaal as a director, and his contribution in the sequel is far less than dancing the first part of my life, and it is difficult to insert actors at will.

"And Amy is auditioning for Hecklin's Dominance." Yeremov continued to hint.

"Is she willing to make a deal?" Song Ya asked, anyway, my life is set for Valentine's Day in 96, and it is barely acceptable for the director to enter the group in the second half of 95.

"You can try, but there is not much hope, the dominant is a movie written and directed by Hecklin, she is fully committed to it, Amy's competitors are very strong, she leaves your comfort zone of power, no matter her acting skills and appeal, she is not very good, although she has been gaining momentum recently, she is considered popular."

"But she also has a concern, some white people can't accept white girls and African Americans falling in love in movies, especially dancing with you kissing in my life," Yeremov said. ”

"Didn't I promise the follow-up publicity that those shots were shot through borrowed positions?"

Song Ya can't help it, white people are still the mainstream, and they must be careful to deal with it, for example, he made a cameo appearance in the MV of Mariah Carey's Christmas song, not only did he have to cover his skin color during filming, but Daniel also told him not to reveal that he was the actor, for fear of arousing the disgust of white people.

"Overall, Amy's career prospects are very good now, after all, she is the heroine of hundreds of millions of box office, Hollywood is very evil, and she will not lack opportunities before she saves big productions." Yeremov comforted.

The group came to Universal Studios and began to settle the income of my life, in addition to the people from Universal and Amperin Entertainment, there were also the insurance company hired by Song Ya to be responsible for the completion of the guarantee, and the Coopers accounting firm responsible for supervising all kinds of account distribution.

Panasonic also sent a book executive to the scene, and they haven't shaken off their hands yet.

The global distribution of Dance My Life is far from over, and some countries have not even been launched yet, plus the income from the sale and rental of video tapes, the licensing of TV station screenings, and the sharing of peripheral sales are all trickle-downs, so under the expectation that Amperin Entertainment wants to get the money first, these long-term revenues will be converted into financial products and sold to financial institutions, so that the filmmakers can settle the most cash at one time.

The box office of Beimi is 65 million, and only more than 30 million are distributed to the distribution company, and after deducting the cost of copying and other expenses, there is 29 million left.

The overseas box office is currently 65 million, and the distribution company gets even less, minus various costs, which is less than 30 percent, that is, 18 million dollars.

This adds up to 47 million and has to subtract the global publicity cost of 15 million, leaving 32 million, from which Universal will split 30% of the publisher's commission......

Then one of the co-producers, Amperin Entertainment, lost another 25 percent.

There are also costs related to the completion of the guarantee and accounting, and legal affairs......

"That's it?"

Song Ya looked at the last remaining figure of 14 million and was stunned for a long time, and then went out of anger, he did not hesitate to take a break from school and worked for more than a year! Nine million investment, a movie with a box office of hundreds of millions, only in exchange for five million leftovers!? Dow has just approved the first part of his total endorsement fee of 20 million, which is also 5 million, and that money can be earned much easier......

"That's it."

Schenberg, Catherine and others who were present all laughed, "It's not easy to make money at the box office alone. Yeremov whispered.

Fortunately, the film industry has never relied only on the box office, and in terms of advertising revenue, A+ Film Studio has received less than 300,000 yuan.

The remaining global box office revenues, TV show licensing, videotape sales and rentals, and long-term revenues converted into one-time cash payments through financial products, A+ Film Studios received a share of eight million.

There is also film peripheral income, which is very profitable, not including financial products, A+ Film Studios received the first tranche of nearly 13 million, mainly from the same T-shirt and luminous belt of the male protagonist sold through Universal Pictures' channels.

It's a lot more comfortable, and it's right to make twenty-six million dollars from a movie, although it's still far from the two and a half million that Spielberg made from Jurassic Park.

"How much do your clothing companies and record companies make on the sale of long and short t-shirts and soundtracks?" "I often see people learn from you to wear that long and short T-shirt, and a lot of young people love that glowing belt." ”

"Uh...... That hasn't been settled yet, so I don't know yet. ”

A+ clothing is the supplier of peripheral goods, and there is still a layer of profit in peripheral sales, but it is impossible to know how much Universal exactly, and the sales momentum of T-shirts sold through his channels is also very strong, and the movie soundtrack is on sale, these are actually the bulk of Song Ya's income, and he decisively began to pretend to be stupid.
