Chapter 631: Visiting the Class
"Is there any other news in Hollywood?"
Before David Fincher could give a final answer, Song Ya accompanied Mariah Carey to her godmother's Patti Label's villa in Beverly Hills to discuss next month's wedding.
It's so fast, there's only a little more than a month left, and I'm basically busy with her here, and now it's coming, looking at my fiancΓ©e who is concentrating on studying the guest roster with Patti Label, I feel guilty again.
"Columbia Pictures' old duo of Guber and Peters fought infighting on the eve of leaving, and Gubert began to negotiate with Sony after he successfully let Peters out, Sony would have to bleed if he wanted him to leave under the contract, and the incident at the end of last year was exposed last month."
Yeremov was very resentful of his old club, and said in a mocking tone of eating melons: "Sony agreed to his conditions and continued to inject capital into his new Mandalay Entertainment Company, which is almost a kneeling to send people away." He has been in charge of Columbia Pictures for five years, and the outside world speculates that his personal assets have increased by five to ten times, and Sony has just written off 2.7 billion bad debts of Columbia Pictures at the beginning of the year in order to give the new helm no worries. β
"Tsk, this book has been played miserably......" Song Ya smacked his tongue.
"Gubert has done this job as a senior manager, and he can only open his own company in the future, and he will definitely not dare to use it, but it is worth it, he has entered the ranks of the top rich, and he is ready to buy a baseball team to run and enjoy life, just right, Major League Baseball is still suspended in labor disputes, and the team is cheaper, he seems to be ready to buy a little more."
Yeremov said.
"Who will be the new helmsman at Columbia Pictures?"
The two walked and chatted, and finally stopped on the lawn outside the villa, and Song Ya asked, "It can't be Motura, right?" β
"The book is still in a tug of war with the president of Sony Beimi, Shulhoff, Motura himself must be willing to do it, his president of Sony Entertainment can nominally manage Columbia Pictures, but in fact he has no real power in Hollywood. Of course, it's unlikely, the book doesn't trust Schulhoff and his people now, and Motura has the same strong personality as Gubel......"
Yeremov speculated: "They may even directly send the executives of the book to parachute, or sell the company like Panasonic, although they are in a better position than Panasonic in the old electronics industry, and they can afford to lose money." β
"Why is Gubel so powerful?" Song Ya asked.
"He has been a well-known producer for a long time, and he made a lot of acclaimed and acclaimed films for Columbia Pictures in the seventies, a taxi driver with a production cost of 1.9 million, starring Robert De Niro, who grossed 28 million at the box office, and 28 million in the 70s......"
Yeremov recalled, "Later, after leaving Columbia Pictures, he independently produced good films such as the Midnight Express, which cost 2.3 million yuan, 35 million dollars at the box office, and won seven Oscar nominations. Oh yes, you think Harvey Weinstein is a prize winner? Wrong! Guebel is the most powerful, but Harvey Weinstein's Miramax is not one of the seven Hollywood majors, and his performance is too dazzling and too 'normal' in the eyes of the outside world. Although Columbia Pictures has suffered heavy losses in the past five years, according to statistics, its films have received a total of 120 Oscar nominations, ranking first among the seven. β
"I see......"
Song Ya was taught another lesson.
Yeremov continued: "If he wasn't one of the top masters in Hollywood, how could Sony cry and shout that he would rather spend 200 million dollars than take him and the company to poach from Warner, and he was saddled with a lawsuit of nearly a billion dollars." β
"So, will Schulhoff also be gone this year?"
Song Ya cared about his own affairs, and although Schulhoff compromised when he drove Motura away, the old man must have had a very bad impression of himself.
"I don't know about this, he seems to have passed the test temporarily, Schulhoff belongs to the father of CD in Sony, the person of Ohga Norio, although I heard that there are book executives who scolded him behind his back is the son of Ohga, and Hollywood executives scolded him for being an unlicensed practitioner, but Ohga Norio has just become the chairman and CEO of Sony Corporation, Sony founders Akio Morita and Ibuka are not in good health, Ohga is in power, he may prefer to continue to lose, rather than admit that he looks at people and loses face."
As a former traitor, Yeremov still knows a lot about the book, "You may not understand it very well, boss, the office politics of the Oriental people are not the same as the gameplay here in the United States, and they are very particular about loyalty." β
Emmmmβ¦β¦
Song Yanunu mouthed and did not refute.
"Honey, bye, I'm going to see a friend."
At this time, Mariah Kelly led the assistant and hurried out.
"See...... Who to meet? Won't you take me with you? Song Ya asked blankly at her back.
"No, no, don't come." She didn't look back, "Yeremov, you, come with me." β
"It's definitely about the Dream Tear Project."
Yeremov helped explain, "I've been helping her keep an eye on Twentieth Century Fox lately, don't worry boss, she'll definitely be cheated a little, but as long as I'm here, Fox Films won't go too far." He took the opportunity to ask for credit.
"I understand."
Hollywood will not be polite to singers, and he has actually been cheated a little by the world in dancing my life project, otherwise no matter how much he exploits layer by layer, the blockbuster with a production cost of 12 million and a box office of more than 130 million will never be as profitable as the main producers get it......
In fact, the operation methods of switching to the record industry can be understood, such as Lowry Jr.'s commemorative album, A+ Records has a seemingly reasonable and legal means to make the money earned not reflected in the final profit.
For singers, as long as the distributor is not too excessive, it can be accepted, after all, the distribution channel is in the hands of others, and the singer's project is particularly risky.
"Then I'm looking for something to do?" Song Ya didn't want to be alone in Pattillabel's house.
"You can take the time to see Robb Jr., Miss Kelly and I are going to start negotiations with Fox Films today, and it won't take a short time."
Yeremov proposed before leaving.
"Uh, forget it, I'm not going today."
"I'll ask Hayden to take me to the crew of the sequel to Dance My Life." β
Song Ya and the others left here on their front and back feet, let old Mike pick up Haiden, and under Linda's guidance, drove all the way to a building in downtown Los Angeles.
Universal's Szylenhaal moves quickly, the main creator of the sequel has already been determined, and it is now in the dance rehearsal stage, director Stephen Gyllenhaal, his wife is one of the producers, and his daughter Maggie Gyllenhaal did not get the starring role of the heroine's best friend, the role is probably similar to Taragi in the first part, the son is a little handsome, and Universal's producers and Yeremov are worried that the male protagonist Gosling will be robbed of the limelight, and resolutely break up the happy family that is united and united.
Of course, Anne Fletcher now has the absolute right to speak in the dance part, and as the dance finger of the two blockbuster movies last summer, Dance My Life and Strange Heroes in Disguise, she has become hot in Hollywood.
And her former boss Shankman refused to dance out of my life at that time, and went to be Don Juan's (born love maniac) dancer, that movie and Dance My Life opened at about the same time, but it hasn't been released yet, Johnny Depp and Fedona Wei's pair of year-old gossip male and female protagonists are not enough to cooperate in the Arizona Dream project, and they ran to that crew to continue their relationship, and I don't know what his new girlfriend Kate Moss will think.
"1234, 5678, good, let's do it again......"
Anne Fletcher was concentrating on taking Gosling and Jennifer Hewitt, Maggie Gyllenhaal and others to practice, while Songya and Hayden stood quietly in the doorway and observed.
I heard that when Disney selected people for the Mickey Mouse Club, there were thousands of children competing for a position, and the male protagonist Gosling could be selected, his appearance was naturally handsome, and he could dance and dance, but the movements were a bit too regular, too 'Broadway', and there was still a distance from the unrestrained hip-hop dance to express.
MGM's children's company program is far less influential than the Mickey Mouse Club, but Jennifer Love, Hewitt is indeed much more beautiful than Ferge, and it is no wonder that she can get the resources that Ferge can't get, this girl looks fresh and natural, it is okay at first glance, the more you look at it, the more comfortable it is, the more durable it is, very youthful, very pure feeling, and the figure is as thin as Amy, and she is favored by the president of Universal, she does have strength, no wonder Ferge was jealous of her resources to death.
The director's daughter, Maggie Gyllenhaal, looks a notch worse than her, no wonder Yeremov and they are relieved to let her play Jennifer Love's best friend.
"Ahem, boss?"
Linda noticed that his eyes began to follow Jennifer Hewitt, and hurriedly reminded, "Annie, hi." β
Anne Fletcher had already spotted them and walked over after putting down her work, "Long time no see, APLUS, Linda, are you here to visit?" β
"I'm fine today, come and have a look." Song Ya said with a smile.
"Everybody come here!" Anne Fletcher stopped rehearsals and called all the half-grown children, all in their 80s, "I'll introduce you." β
"Hello, hi, hello...... Did the rehearsals go well? β
As a popular singer, Song Ya naturally enjoyed the treatment of hugging and screaming, he put on the style of an investor and greeted the actors one by one.
Jennifer Love, Hewitt and Maggie Gyllenhaal behaved the most appropriately, after all, the two have many resources and good backgrounds, and they are no strangers to Hollywood.
Really, it's not good that the role is set too early, and no one takes the initiative to scratch my palm or anything.
Song Ya thought secretly in her heart.
"Uh......"
Everyone didn't know each other well, and they were a little speechless after greeting, "You guys go on, I won't bother." Song Ya tilted his head towards Gosling, "You, come with me." β
