A+ Audio now has about 10% of the synthesized music rights library in the whole rice market, the American music website, and a 5% stake in DTS, which is planned to go public next year, and the annual legal expenditure is enough to become the cornerstone of the opening of a new law firm.

Back then, for Tony's case, Song Ya went to contact Lockhard and Gardner Law Firm, in fact, he wanted to use the energy of Peter Flock behind Alicia, so this business was brought to the company by her at the beginning, and later Alicia basically participated in the whole process of DTS's multiple rounds of financing negotiations on behalf of A+ Audio, and the listing business of DTS next year is another big income.

So it stands to reason that Alicia is right to take this client, but she is a former law firm employee to provide services to A+ Audio, and legally wants to pull the business away so directly, there must be a lawsuit between her and Lockhard and Gardner Law Firm.

But this has nothing to do with Song Ya, he took advantage of Mariah Carey's Christmas album release and flew to Los Angeles. The two quarreled constantly, but when they woke up the next day after the quarrel, it was like nothing had happened, and it was as good as something.

"The audition for the lead actor in the sequel to Dance My Life is in its third round."

Between the Christmas and New Year holidays, Universal Studios gathers a large number of tourists, and many production companies usually have a holiday at this time, but because Universal Pictures is about to change hands next year, President Simberg keeps a close eye on the progress of various projects, so the office building is still busy.

Yeremov pushed two stacks of actor resumes in front of Song Ya, "Look at it." ”

"Group A? Group B? ”

Song Ya asked, pointing to the annotation on the resume.

"Group A is the original plan for eighth to tenth grade students, the actors are probably born around 80, and Group B is the older plan, all of which are your peers." Yeremov replied.

Song Ya casually flipped through the resume of the male protagonist in Group A, and there were two familiar children, the starring role of the baseball angels, Joseph, and the director's son Jake Gyllenhaal.

"Jack is indeed more handsome than Sulph...... But doesn't he know how to dance? Song Ya asked helplessly, the director and his wife really don't shy away from their relatives.

"They don't dance very well, but they are both from acting families, and they are child stars, and they still have dancing skills, because they are young, plasticity is not a problem, and it is estimated that three months of assault training is enough to make a movie......"

Yeremov began to play the videotapes of their first two rounds of auditions, "Their advantage is that their acting skills are online, after all, from small to large, there is no shortage of resources." ”

"Hmm." Song Ya nodded, "Who do you like?" ”

"This."

Unexpectedly, Yeremov didn't choose anyone, but pulled out another resume, "Gosling, a member of the Mickey Mouse Club, a children's song and dance show on Disney Channel, this show is still broadcasting, but the production has ended in October this year, the young actors are 'unemployed', their agents are throwing resumes everywhere in Hollywood, Gosling is good-looking, good at singing and dancing, and his age is also the most suitable." ”

"What about the opinions of other producers?"

After moving to Highland Park, Song Ya's family didn't set this stage, and he never watched it.

"You know, Hinberg likes Jared Leto."

Yeremov opened the resume of the male protagonist in Group B, "But tonight Leto and his agent asked you to dinner, he also participated in the audition of the male protagonist of the cat and mouse game, I guess their idea is that if the male protagonist of the cat and mouse game is chosen, then they will push off the dance of the sequel of my life." ”

"It's a beautiful idea, are there any other candidates in this group?"

Song Ya looked at Leto's photo on his resume and found that he still maintained the style of the vampire premiere at night, with long hair and beard, and had changed from the image of the eyed boy in the TV series 'My So-Called Life' to a decadent rock star fan, "Looking at Leto's posture, he is already planning to transform into a character actor, right?" ”

Youth song and dance films for boys and girls don't need this kind of male protagonist.

"If there is a male protagonist who can act, the character design can be changed back, and he is not stereotyped by the new work." Yeremov said as he pulled out a few resumes, "Other options are Matthew Morrison, Jesse Chasais...... They danced better than Leto, and Jesse Chases was also a member of the Mickey Mouse Club, but was older than Gosling, so he was placed in Group B. ”

"OK, I see." Neither of them is as handsome as Leto, nor does they have a fan base, so it's no wonder that Hinberg likes Leto.

The two looked at the actress again, and similarly, Nicky De Lodge was shortlisted in Group A of the Mickey Mouse Club, Kerry Lynn was shortlisted in Group B, and there was also Jennifer Lovehoff Hewitt in Group A.

"You don't have an opinion on this group."

This group is all underage, Yeremov is worried that he will be spread bad rumors, "If you are worried that Fergi will be unhappy, just leave the matter to me, assuming that the group A plan wins, this girl is also favored by Szymberg, but I should be able to secretly use some means to reject her." ”

Indeed, she, like Jared Leto, is a child star and has a good fan base, which is a good plus for an idol movie.

"Does Simberg have a private ......?"

Song Ya doesn't care what means he uses, he is only worried that Simberg has secretly traded with others with the starring role, in that case, it is not good if he wants to get rid of the person he likes.

"Probably not, he is still counting on the position of president after the change of management, and he will avoid any negative news at this point in time." Yeremov replied.

"Where's Christina Richie?" Song Ya also noticed that the young actor in the 91 blockbuster movie Adams disappeared from the audition list.

"She got the heroine of the ghost horse elf, and there is no schedule." Yeremov replied.

"Didn't David Geffen recommend anyone to come?" Several producers Song Ya have to take care of it, after all, the sequel has become complicated both in terms of funding and internal relations, "Where is Amperin Entertainment?" ”

"David Geffen has been helping the vampires of the night to hit the Oscars lately, and he doesn't have the time to take care of this small investment."

Yeremov said: "Amperin Entertainment put Drew Barrymore straight into the final round of auditions in Group B. ”

Group B are all actresses born around 75 years, and Song Ya has many acquaintances in it, except for Spielberg's goddaughter Drew Barrymore, Amy Adams, Amy Ake, Charis, etc., who entered the last few rounds of auditions in the first part, are basically there, only the older Ashley Judd and Juliana Margareth did not come, and the other famous and unfamous young actresses are all beautiful women in a thousand, which can be described as sultry, including many blonde stunners.

"If the Group B plan is implemented, Simberg is still willing to let Amy and Leto partner up, and there is no need to worry about offending Spielberg by rejecting Drew Barrymore."

Yeremov gave him a reassurance.

Having mastered the basic situation, Song Ya had a bottom in his heart, and met Leto and his agent at dinner with Yeremov in the evening.

Leto is a shy big boy in reality, sitting quietly and rarely talking, if he is not wearing a suit, he looks like a restrained blonde girl from behind, yes, he is also blonde.

"APLUS, WE'RE ACTUALLY MORE INTERESTED IN ANOTHER PROJECT OF YOURS."

His agent is in charge of communication and says what he wants straight to the point, "When will the audition for the male protagonist of the cat and mouse game officially start." ”

"At least not until next year's Valentine's Day."

According to Hollywood Studios President Linton's plan, the Oscar nomination announcement date on February 14 next year is a milestone time for final negotiations with director David Fincher (not David Geffen, not David Lynch), and other operations will have to be postponed, "and the main actors who will dance the sequel to my life at that time will have to start practicing with their dancing fingers." Song Ya replied.

"That's ......"

Leto's agent looked at Leto with some regret, "So Leto doesn't have a chance to choose one or the other?" ”

"That's pretty much it."

Yeremov knew that although the boss didn't say it explicitly, he was willing to create opportunities for Amy to continue to star, and if Amy wanted to continue to play the heroine, the winning of the group B plan was the premise, and the key to whether the B group could win was whether the new idol actor in front of him was willing to play the male lead. He hinted.

"We've done it."

Leto's agent is CAA, and he has already been exposed to the original script of the cat-and-mouse game through resources, "The male protagonist of the cat-and-mouse game will be much more helpful to Leto's development than a youth song and dance film." ”

"Why don't you take both?" Yeremov quipped, "It's all sunny boys." ”

"Although they are both sunshine boys, the two films have very different expectations for the roles in the eyes of the audience, and we need to use one film to shape Leto's acting path in the next few years."

His agent sees it very clearly, the sequel to Dance My Life will be a standard campus youth film, this kind of movie not only does not pay attention to the acting skills of the actors, but it is especially easy to label the actors as having no acting skills and only relying on selling their faces and bodies to eat, Song Ya, who plays tickets, can not care, but Leto, who wants to develop in Hollywood for a long time, cannot but consider this, and the cat-and-mouse game is a men's drama that will be of great help to the future development of actors.

"I'm a big fan of the character of Abagnell, and I've been watching his 'Got Me Got Something' book lately, and I've got some tapes of his early speeches."

Leto took out some prepared props, books and videotapes from his bag to impress Song Ya, "Quiet! Ladies and gentlemen, I am Mr. Abagnell, I am Abagnell, not Abagnell, I am not Abagonelle, I am Abagnell......" and also performed a short line from the script, that is, Song Ya once revealed the plot clip of disguised as a teacher in the classroom.

"Very good, very good ......"

It's really very good, it's presentable, although Song Ya still can't forget the original film starring Xiao Lizi, but it's not bad, he sincerely admired, "Your acting skills are really good, Leto." ”

"Leto is the best of his age." His agent took the opportunity to sell.

"That's not necessarily, you'll know when Uncle Cat auditions for the game, basically Hollywood actors who are suitable for acting will come." Yeremov hit them, "Some have already proven themselves in other films. ”

Leto and the agent smiled a little awkwardly.

Leto has just broken out of the TV industry, and the first movie with a supporting role has not yet been released, and his resume in the film industry is blank.

"Maybe Simberg is going to be disappointed, and I don't think Leto himself wants to do a sequel to my life." At the end of the meal, Yeremov came out and said to Song Ya: "I can see at a glance that the kid has the temper of an artist, although he is still relatively immature. ”

"I feel the same."

As soon as the conversation about dancing out of my life sequel, Leto's attention drifted away, and it is estimated that without his agent, he may directly refuse to audition for that play.

"APLUS, YOU'RE IN LOS ANGELES, RIGHT?" That's when Alicia called.

"Yes, I am." Song Ya replied.

"I've arrived at the lobby of the hotel where you're staying, the restraining order has just been lifted, and the document can be signed."

Good guys, they're all here, "Okay, I'll be back soon." Song Ya hurried back to the hotel lobby and was about to shake hands with Alicia and her party when Diane Lockhart, another title partner of Lockhart and Gardner Law Firm, suddenly reappeared.

"Welcome to Los Angeles, Diane." Song Ya saw the envelope in her hand and already guessed what was going on.

"This is the second restraining order issued by a local court in Chicago that again prohibits Alicia Flock and others from having contact with our clients."

Diane Lockhart was a tall, capable, elegant old blond woman, always wearing a huge necklace that caught the eye, and she must have been beautiful when she was young, but as a woman who could climb to the top position of the law firm, she had a very strong personality, and now she usually behaved in a domineering manner, "It's a pleasure to meet you Alicia in Los Angeles." She handed the envelope to Song Ya and immediately put on a victor's smile and twisted her face to mock Alicia.

"Don't expect me to give up easily." Alicia didn't budge.

"Hey!"

Song Ya was a little upset, and interrupted the two women when they exchanged eyes, "Please don't waste my time casually, okay?" Billionaires are busy! ”
