Chapter 169: Stormy Rain

"Hey, Mr. Yeremov." The phone rang again.

"You are?" Yeremov hesitated for a moment.

"Uh...... You called me, huh? Song Ya was a little baffled, "I'm APLUS." ”

"Oh well, maybe it's a typo, I'm a little dizzy, sorry APLUS, uh, you wait a minute......"

There was a clatter of flipping paper from the microphone, "APLUS, that's it, can you get fans into the cinema?" Help us save the box office. ”

"I'm already doing it, and in interviews, I always mention returning to the blue reef and calling for everyone to see it." Song Ya replied.

"Can it be more formal? Kick off a pop star friend you know again? Please, for Mira's sake. ”

The last time I saw Yeremov, although he looked very tired, he still had a kind of high-spirited taste in his speech and demeanor, such as he said that Xue Linfen was a 'poor child', and there was clearly a sense of overlooking the ups and downs of celebrities by Hollywood bigwigs, but now, the tone was hasty, and his words were so humble that he was almost begging, and it was only four days for a person to complete such a transformation in Hollywood.

"This ......"

Officially calling on fans to watch a bad movie is not a good thing for themselves, let alone using interpersonal relationships, "Is it that serious?" Song Ya didn't want to agree, even for Mira, if the quality of the movie itself was passable, of course it would be fine, but since the mud couldn't support the wall, why should he be unlucky with it?

It's just a movie.

"Three days after the first weekend, the three films behind us have ended their screenings, that is to say, as soon as the next four days are over, we will inevitably be at the bottom of the box office after the remaining sixteen films come out at the box office in the first week, so there will be only one end next week, and the file will be withdrawn. We had to turn the box office around in those four days to hold on to a certain number of theaters in the second week of release and keep the opportunity for sales to pick up. Yeremov said.

"Pull it off? ...... in a week"

Hollywood is very cruel, this Song Ya knows, but he didn't expect a movie shot in a few months, a big production of tens of millions, and a long period of pre-publicity, and then put it in theaters, a week, just give a week's chance......

"Yes, can you help? If it is withdrawn, the box office of a single museum in the first week will be more than 1,000 dollars, from the producer to the theater, all of them will blame the entire crew, as well as our publicity. I helped Mira suppress the exposure and asked the company to add two million to the publicity budget, and I will definitely be the scapegoat when the company is liquidated, I ...... I'm going to end my life......"

Yeremov choked up as he spoke.

"Uh......" Song Yaxin said, can't you see that it's a bad movie? I was also given an additional publicity budget, and I was put in it, "I'll think about it." ”

"Please get back to me as soon as possible, okay?"

"Okay."

Hanging up the phone, Song Ya had a conference call with Donovan, Hayden and others, and they unanimously disagreed that Song Ya publicly encouraged fans to enter the theater to support the movie, "Not to mention that your public relationship with Mira is not so helpful, this movie has become a laughing stock, and even Mila has to withdraw early." ”

Halfway through, Mira's agent joined in, "Mira's previous decision was too reckless, and the call to fans has been issued and it is difficult to take it ......back," his mood was also very low, "Let's watch it for another night, if the box office hasn't improved, I will use private channels to get out of the quagmire of this bad movie tomorrow, and throw the pot to Graham, Yeremov and Brian Kraus, and now the focus of the outside world attack is them." We can't affect Mira's follow-up films, Hollywood is very superstitious, and even a big star like Al Pacino has to be silent for four years before he recovers if a movie accidentally hits the street. ”

"I agree." Donovan said.

"Okay." Song Ya also agreed, this is the best, there is no need to consume her own fans, Mira's star journey will be affected a little, but it can only be like this. As for Yeremov, who was good for Mira...... There is a good saying, business is business, everyone is not familiar with it, very unfamiliar.

At the end of the meeting, Song Ya looked at his watch, it was now half past eleven in the morning.

"I'm a little hungry." He said to Taraghi.

Taragi turned around and went out to get the hotel ready to eat.

At twelve o'clock, Song Ya was reading the newspaper while eating, and the mobile phone rang again, followed by Taraghi's, and then the hotel landline.

“FXXK!” He was most afraid of this kind of scene.

"Watch the news, LA Channel 8!" Hayden shouted in a panic.

"The Sun's reporter ......" Taragi walked in, clutching his phone.

"Refuse all media interviews." Song Ya pointed to the hotel landline for her to deal with, turned on the TV herself, and tuned to Los Angeles Channel 8, a small local TV station that is hard to find.

The picture that catches the eye is Mira, with a large line underneath, 'What is the true face of an idol actress?' ’

The TV station maliciously picked a photo of Mira laughing, with low pixels and high contrast, to make her image very ugly, her eyes rolled up, and her gums when laughing were exposed to the audience.

"What the hell is this......" Song Ya muttered to herself.

"Youth idols? Goddess of Equality? The hostess said: "Milla Jovovich's film Return to Blue Reef is being released in the whole country, and her cool and lovely image has aroused the favor of many male audiences, and the fan group has also been organized to claim to win this box office defense battle." But what kind of person is Mira in real life? ”

The accompanying picture was replaced by a candid photo on the set, Mira was losing her temper, kicking a small folding chair into the air, and a large number of tables and chairs were crookedly falling next to her, as if she was thirteen or fourteen years old.

"According to people familiar with the matter, as one of the most difficult actresses in the industry to 'serve', Mira is like an overindulgent child on the set, playing big names, being late, not cooperating with the director, etc. are common things, and such irascible destruction scenes have happened more than once."

The picture changes, Mira is sitting in the car, her mouth is making an 'F' opening sound shape, and she reaches out to the camera to compare her middle finger, and the TV station also 'intimately' typed a code, "Her rebellion is also reflected in daily life......

The TV station broke a few similar black materials, "What do you mean?" Did the people in the same crew do it first? Throwing the blame for the box office failure on Mira? Jumping ship first? ”

"It's possible, but the male protagonist Brian Krauss shouldn't have that much energy, and director Graham does this kind of thing."

was talking to Hayden on the phone and analyzing, Song Ya saw himself on the TV screen......

The TV station didn't seem to find a photo of him and Mira, so they had to juxtapose the solo photos of the two on the left and right, "It is rumored that he and the very fast-rising African-American singer APLUS have maintained an underground relationship for a long time, and the two are related to the recording of De Klerk, which is not a secret within SBK Records." APLUS is also very supportive of his girlfriend, not only attending the premiere of his return to the blue reef, but also frequently helping to build momentum on talk shows in recent days. ”

As soon as the hostess's voice fell, the TV station cooperated with the broadcast of a short outdoor interview video, and the reporter asked: "Mira, have you had a boyfriend?" ”

Mira replied with a smile as she walked, "I won't think about this for a while...... "The wind blew her hair sticky to her face, and she habitually shook her head, which was accurately fixed on another ugly photo. "Okay, this station will continue to bring follow-up reports." The hostess concludes this little paragraph.

"What a ...... of hatred"

Song Ya really obeyed this kind of TV station's smear methods, deliberately ignoring Mira's age of thirteen or fourteen, and playing big names behind the photos of her tantrum on the set, etc., which easily made the audience think that it happened when filming back to the blue reef. Then the scandal between himself and her was followed by an interview with Mila denying that she had a boyfriend, suggesting to the audience that Mila likes to lie, and the others are all 'lost fans' black material that can make Mila lose a lot of popularity.

Then again, Mira was too rebellious before, which is why she gave others so many opportunities.

"Who would it be if it wasn't an insider in the crew?" He asked.

Hayden replied: "I don't know, I'll inquire, the top priority now is to communicate with her to deal with the media in a unified voice, and you two will soon be bombarded by the media." ”

"This incident didn't break out on my side, so it's not a violation of the confidentiality agreement, right?"

"No, don't worry."

"Then you can contact her agent."

Song Ya hung up the phone, "Tell me what you really like, Baby I can take my time......" humming a song and dialing Mira's number, busy sound, it should be turned off.

"You seem to be happy?" Taragi looked at him strangely.

"It's too tiring to hide the pervasive media, so I don't have to go in and out of her house like a thief in the future." As for movies or something, that kind of bad movie is just a bad movie, what else can I do? Neither he nor Mira have the ability to bring the dead back to life.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Mira's call came back, "Flower Q, nasty ghost, it's all your fault!" She scolded.

Song Ya laughed, and then she laughed too.

The two laughed like fools for a few minutes, "What are you going to do?" Song Ya asked her.

"Let's wait until the movie is released, and then our non-disclosure agreement with Columbia Pictures will expire, and I will ask the agent to communicate with Revlon, and if they agree, we will admit it publicly."

"What if they don't agree? Want to lose money? ”

"My agent said that there is a high probability that he will not agree, and it depends on how much he loses." Mira replied.

The relationship was exploded, and the two were much more relaxed this time, and they chatted endlessly.

"Go back and wait for my royalties to come down, or buy a house next to your home in Los Angeles." Song Yacai said arrogantly.

"Hate ......"

At half past one, Taragi came in again, pointing to his phone for a silent reminder.

Song Ya said goodbye to her, "What's wrong?" He took Taragi's phone.

Louise reports. It was Hayden, he read: "I said early on that Milla Jovovich was innocent on the surface, and she and APLUS had been involved for a long time, during the filming of last year's CK commercial, an insider broke the news that she and APLUS were 'fighting' all night in the exclusive RV, and they did not shy away from the rest of the crew, and the staff had to sleep all night with her bold screams......"
