The next day, Song Ya and Yeremov and others came out of the New Line Film Company with gloomy faces, and the other party did not ask for a private meeting like Harvey Weinstein, but the conversation was even less satisfactory.

"It's a pity, his family's self-publishing ability is very good, and the well-connected theaters are all around the school and other places where young people gather......"

Yeremov said regretfully, "Their release of Dance My Life is one of the best choices, and the selection route and target group overlap." ”

"They seem to be going to put the treasure on Jim Carrey next year?" Hayden asked.

"Yes, Warner has two Jim Carrey movies to be released next year, Detective Plane Head and Disguised Weird." Yeremov replied: "The new line is responsible for the strange in disguise. ”

"Is Jim Carrey so worthy of Warner's praise? The way he acted......" Hayden asked.

"Who knows, but there is always a market for comedies, and most of the audience goes to the cinema to have fun." Yeremov replied.

"Give up, the three hearts I watched yesterday were also produced and released by the new line, and they had a lot of opinions about Xue Linfen's non-cooperation and disconnection, and it is impossible for this kind of Hollywood second-tier company not to know that I once helped Xue Linfen seek a role in the Modern Stone Clan, and then the three hearts failed miserably at the box office. So the attitude towards me...... I saw it just now. ”

Song Ya can't help it, "And last year's David Lynch's Twin Peaks movie version was also produced and distributed by his family, they have a good relationship with David Lynch, and I happened to have a holiday with Lynch's daughter, and I can't be completely relieved to cooperate with them." ”

"The negative effects of offending the second generation of the guide are beginning to appear."

Yeremov said: "David Lynch is a noble man of Nicolas Cage, and his Wild Heart helped Cage win the Palme d'Or to completely complete the transformation of his acting school, and break away from the stereotype of mixing in the film industry only by virtue of the Coppola family." And Johnny Depp entered the film industry on the recommendation of Nicolas Cage, and Johnny Depp is Tim Burton's favorite, and he and Rivan Phoenix and Keanu Reeves are still mixed all day long. ”

"It's far away."

If Hollywood is really so united, there won't be so much tearing and fighting, Song Ya said: "But let's try to avoid those guys, just to be on the safe side." ”

"By the way, Johnny Depp will have a different sky released at the end of the year, who knows the second male?" Hayden hung his appetite again.

"Who?"

"Xiao Lizi, I used to be very optimistic about him, haha." Hayden should have remembered that he had invested in two Little Plum movies before and was deflated.

"Remind me to watch that movie when the time comes." Xiao Lizi will definitely be popular, but Song Ya will no longer stupidly invest money to make Hollywood cheat.

"By the way, Xiao Lizi is very suitable for the role of the heroine's boyfriend, right?" Yeremov also knew about Xiao Lizi, "Isn't he just a little white face?" As for the white man, the age is just right, too. ”

"Would he be willing to play the villain?" Hayden asked, in the movie, the man who robbed his girlfriend with the male protagonist is generally a villain, and the audience will not have the slightest sympathy.

"Ask, if the box office of the sky is different, it should not be difficult to invite." Yeremov said.

"Okay, make a note." Song Ya closed his eyes and thought about it, and it was indeed suitable for appearance.

After two days on the weekend, I ended my trip to Hollywood and communicated with a series of potential partners, and the production company that danced out of my life still has no eyebrows, but the news that AP is going to spend 8 million into Hollywood has spread quickly, and many small companies have even sent people to take the initiative to come to Chicago to recommend themselves, as for the motive, it is difficult to say, after all, the Hollywood consensus is that the singer's money is good.

"We don't think about the small companies anymore, and my first film had to be of quality even if it didn't hit the market."

Song Ya directly drew a line, "Looking for partners in the ranks of the companies we talked about before, what are the remaining ones who have not been contacted?" Touchstone Pictures? ”

"I'll get in touch with them one by one." Yeremov reminded: "This can't be delayed, think about it, form a production team, get the director and dance director, write the storyboard script, make a detailed budget, and then cast the actors, after the two protagonists are selected, the two protagonists have to practice dancing, and other dancers have to rehearse and run in the group dance." According to the plan, you must join the group at the beginning of next year, and it will only take half a year, and it will pass in a flash. ”

"Hmmm......"

Song Ya walked to his honor corner, and saw the platinum record certification of I Feel It Cong on the wall from those various trophies, and was slightly distracted for a while, "Hayden...... Remember that fight I had with Motula? ”

"How can I not remember, I have palpitations." Hayden replied.

"Wasn't it the same as it was this time? I whimsically asked me to talk to each other about the fact that there must be loopholes to exploit, and Motura chose to match this condition, but that was because he had already planned to play with me, and SBK and Atlantic Records, which were always not as good as I wanted, were really companies with no bad intentions. ”

Song Ya said: "So I've thought about it for the past two days, if you look at it the other way around, cooperating with Amperin Entertainment is the best choice." ”

"That's the same thing." "But what about the price? The bargaining power in front of Spielberg was too weak. ”

"Let's talk about it again, in fact, I don't have many options, the partner must be a big production company, and it is better to have a good high-level relationship in addition to avoiding some potential threats, then there are only two options: the Universal Department of Amperin Entertainment and Geffen Films, and the Disney Department of Miramax and Touchstone Pictures." Song Ya said: "After all, I only know Spielberg, David Geffen, and Katzenberg. ”

"Katzenberg is under Disney's almost Mike Eisner, and above 10,000 people, and Disney has a greater advantage than Universal in this regard." Yeremov said.

"But I have the least friendship with Katzenberg, and he has the least stake in DTS." Song Ya hesitated.

"Well, Disney CEO Mike Eisner and CAA President Michael Ovitz have had a good relationship, they've known each other since childhood, and they've played since ......childhood," Hayden added hesitantly, "and we can't handle Harvey Weinstein." ”

Song Ya rolled his eyes, it was still the old problem of William Morris's lack of strength, he didn't hold Hayden responsible for exposing this now, anyway, he planned to toss them well when he renewed his contract for the second time in 94, "Then only the Universal Department remains...... Actually, I would have preferred to work with Geffen Films, if only he hadn't been so fully involved in the movie Interview with the Vampire. ”

"It's decided?" Yeremov and Hayden looked at each other and asked.

"I've decided, just the two of them, let's talk about it again, and I can make some concessions to Amperin Entertainment, such as raising the budget by one or two million."

Song Ya sends them back to Los Angeles and back to Highland Park.

"Hey, Charis, how's it going?"

Amy Adams was talking on the phone while pressing her legs for a dance instruction on TV, not realizing herself.

When Song Ya heard the name of Charis Theron in her mouth, her heart moved, and she stopped and eavesdropped quietly.

"AP is preparing to make a movie? I don't know, he never talks to me about business. ”

"I really don't know what's going on in Hollywood?"

"Dance movies? What else did you hear? ”

"He? He didn't talk to me about dancing, and he didn't practice himself, did he? I usually go home from school, go home from school, and occasionally go on business trips and go to record labels. I've been working out, huh. ”

"Why do you keep asking that? Can I help you? ”

"Okay, okay, I'll ask him...... Who knows, he'll do hip-hop, yes, the kind of unstructured stuff. ”

"Well, I'll call him when I ask."

"Say goodbye to ......"

"Bichi." She casually threw her phone on the couch, switched one leg, and continued to press.

"Amy, I'm finally growing up......" Song Ya lowered her head and smiled, didn't bother her, and returned to the study.

"The homework isn't done yet." Taragi had spread out the book to the page of his progress and soaked in a glass of milk.

Song Ya sat down and began to cope with his studies, and the philosophy class at the University of Chicago was Greek classical philosophy, and the reference books were difficult and obscure, and it was very difficult to chew.

"Okay, okay, don't ...... like this" Song Ya stopped the little assistant who was about to rub his shoulders diligently, "Have you time to hone your acting skills more, have you ever been here?" ”

"Two days on the weekend, just teach me and Amy two ......"

Taraghi replied, and the landline bell rang, "Good! She hurried over to answer, "Mr. Schneider?" Uh, AP is studying, can you make an appointment to ...... again"

"Give it to me."

Song Ya asked for the microphone, "Zack, heard about it too?" Hollywood knows it, doesn't it? Haha, yes, I started with John Singleton and Spike ......Lee."

"I ......," Zack Schneider said before stopping.

"Zach, I know what I want, but it's hard to say right now, let's ...... That's for sure, I won't forget. He hung up the phone, "Hollywood knows, let old Mike transfer the landline and bedroom lines......"

As he was instructing, Taragina's cell phone rang again, and she glanced at the number, but didn't answer, and handed it over directly.

"Hello, Mi......" is Mariah Carey.

"Got it? What the? The heroine? Other...... Don't make a fuss, darling. ”
