Chapter 784: Rage

"Perhaps, a few years ago, I was on the cover of a seventeen-year-old magazine......"

Song Ya sat in the corner of the front row of the theater, and when the high-class prostitute played by Xue Linfen appeared on the big screen, he tilted his head slightly to observe the reaction of the critics.

The old white men are very attentive and can't take their eyes off it.

Xue Linfen's famous face in the golden age of Hollywood with the current popular post-soft light filter technology, it is simply a smile is full of charm, it can be said that from the figure to the appearance of the original actress completely crushed the actress, when she slowly put her hand to her mouth, with a seductive gaze at the audience in front of the curtain, and then, her lips opened slightly, biting the fingertips of the silk glove, almost sucking it off......

Song Ya heard a heavy inhale from someone in the back row.

The male protagonist Jared Leto is not as handsome as Xiao Li Zi, but his acting skills are really good, and he shows well the young man's snickering demeanor that he thinks he has been hit by peach blossom luck, and invites the 'little star and courtesan' he met into his room.

As soon as the picture turned, the flirting process in the middle was omitted by the big scissors, and the two were already kissing passionately.

Song Ya rolled her eyes and automatically filtered out this paragraph.

The finished game of cat and mouse made him feel amazing, compared to the first Apocalypse movie Dance My Life, except for the amount of investment

, he has much less control and dedication to the project, which results in a far cry from the original, even with big scissors and post-remediation.

The film is fifteen minutes longer than the original, the plot of the male protagonist's participation in the variety show at the beginning of the five minutes is completely abandoned, and all the plot interaction between him and his father is retained, but the five minutes are compressed to make the rhythm tighter, and the five minutes that disappear are the second half of the film depicting how he was arrested in France and working for the FBI after his arrest. This makes the film a full two hours long as required by Bowell Pictures, not counting the five minutes of final credits.

The orchestral soundtrack made on the basis of the abbreviated melody provided by himself is very different from the original, but the sound is wonderfully similar, the picture performance, camera movement style, and cast are all different, but the other taste presented is not bad, Jared Leto does not have the innocence of Xiao Lizi, but after he was released from prison, his image of long hair and beard is more vicissitudes than Xiao Lizi and has suffered more persuasively.

Now Amy Adams is younger and prettier, and it is more appropriate and likable to play the role of an ignorant little nurse.

Ashley Judd looks prettier than Ellen Sidepad in the original version, her sweet smile is not lost at all, and she is as good as the male protagonist's bed scene.

Another actress who came in with Harvey Weinstens, the girl who snatched the role of Charlis's bank teller was much worse than the original actor's acting skills, and the temperament of the silly girl in the United States was shown, but the stupid seduction tricks did not perform well, it was just a small episode, and it did not affect the overall situation.

The second male John Malkovich presents the role of an FBI agent more ...... than Tom Hanks Sophistication and sophistication have something to do with his looks, and even with his intellectual glasses, he is not as harmless to man and animal as Tom Hanks.

Jeremy Irons's male number three, that is, the male protagonist's father's lines, is more sonorous and powerful, and his speech before bankruptcy is more passionate than Christopher Walken in the original version, and he is more depressed than Christopher Walken after bankruptcy, without the other party's sense of forbearance and demeanor, but the emotional stimulation of the audience is more direct.

All...... It's not bad, Song Ya feels that the film critics and the judges of the various film awards will like it, after all, what Ridley Scott filmed, and he has retouched it based on the original film of an unknown director.

"You want to play cards?"

Xue Linfen and Leto sat on the bed, she suddenly got up and picked up a deck of cards on the table, Leto asked.

"How much did it cost?" In the big close-up, Xue Linfen holds the poker in her hand and asks rhetorically.

"55 cents? It seems to be. Leto didn't know why the beauty got rid of the lingering and asked about this, and replied blankly.

"How much would you pay if they sold me in the little shop downstairs?"

The courtesan uses a suggestive question to reveal the true face of a high-class prostitute, and some viewers who substitute for the male protagonist make a regretful Wooo voice that peach blossom luck has mutated into a money transaction.

"I'm sorry, I ...... What am I willing to pay? ”

Leto was also stunned at first, but he played the legendary liar Abagnell, and he reacted quickly, but he didn't immediately reveal it.

Small movements, subtle expressions, body postures, Leto presents them in different ways, and the result is the same as Xiao Lizi, all of which convey this subtle emotional change in the heart to the audience very clearly.

When the two are talking, the non-stop front and back shots are almost the same as the original, and there are some 'paradigms' in the assembly line of the Hollywood film industry that basically do not take the director as the transfer.

"...... all night"

Xue Linfen was so angry when she said this to the camera, "How much are you willing to pay me for one night?" ”

But in all fairness, in terms of acting skills, she has a distance from the original actress, and the original actor's expression turned slightly after saying this, she was ashamed, embarrassed, and sad...... But I don't want to expose my inner loneliness in front of the guests.

For the sake of money, the fake courtesan tears her disguise in front of the handsome boy and turns back into a prostitute, and the mutual attraction of men and women turns back into a money transaction, and she will always be a little sad.

Xue Linfen didn't reflect such subtle emotions at all, in order to give birth to little Robb, she rested for too long, and in the bad movies she made before, Song Ya didn't find out that she had this ability, and she never had it.

But the victory is that the face is beautiful, and the old white men like it very much.

After some bargaining, the male protagonist offered a sky-high price of a thousand dollars a night in the sixties, and the prostitute happily agreed.

"You wait here, I'll be right back."

The male protagonist rushed to the door, and the prostitute thought he wanted an excuse to run away, so she asked anxiously: "Wait, where do you want to go?" ”

"I'll go downstairs and cash the check." The male protagonist blocked her gaze with his body, took out a stack of checks, and put away the small denominations, leaving only a 1400-dollar one.

"The hotel won't cash you a check for $1,000 at three o'clock in the morning."

"I've got New York savings and loan checks, like gold, and they'll cash them." The male protagonist turned around, took out his fake check and shook it proudly.

"They're going to be suspicious, let me see! It's a cash check, why don't you just sign it for me? The prostitute's eyes lit up.

"No, I can't just give it to you, the price we negotiated is $1,000, and the face value of this check is $1,400."

The prostitute played by Xue Linfen threw away the cards in her hand, "Why don't I find you 400 dollars?" She reached into her evening dress's chest, and the prostitute's favorite place to hide money found a stack of cash, counted out 400 knives and handed it to the male protagonist, and exchanged it for a check......

"Hahaha!"

The crook's brilliant impromptu response, the prostitute who thinks she is smart after a night's sleep, and when the two make a deal and kiss again, the audience erupts in laughter.

"This girl is so beautiful."

When Charis, the blonde white chick, was stupidly reading her lines and getting drunk down the wall for a few seconds, there was another small laugh in the audience, and Song Ya heard someone muttering to herself in the back row.

Hehe, it's already my shape, Song Ya smiled in his heart.

"What do you think? Daniel? By the end of the film, the professionals who watched the film gave a standing ovation, and Yeremov got up from the front row with some of the main creators who came to Chicago and bowed to them in thanks.

"It's very good, and you have the ability to catch me, and this title is very cat and mouse music style." Daniel complimented him from his point of view, "It looks like your project won't lose money at least, can you get the award?" ”

"I don't know, the quality of the film itself is one thing, and public relations is also one thing." Song Ya looked at Roger Albert, a big film critic who was expressionless and put the small book in his pocket in the distance, and whispered.

"Anyway, I wish you success."

Daniel patted him on the shoulder and smiled.

"You must go back to New York tonight? Then I'll let the crew send you, Linda, you can arrange it. ”

The order in the theater began to be chaotic, some people came over to shake hands with the main creator, talk about the gains and losses of the movie, and some people chose to leave, Song Ya called Linda to her side and said a few words.

After sending Daniel away, he went to Roger Albert to ask for scores, "Very good movie." The big film critic who has received a lot of public relations benefits from A+ Pictures and Hollywood Pictures is on the matter, "But I prefer David Fincher's Seven Deadly Sins, have you seen that movie?" ”

"I watched." That movie was really powerful, "jealous, angry...... The murder case connected by the seven deadly sins, David Fincher handled it with great talent, with religious elements, thrillers, suspense, and dramatic conflicts that are unparalleled. Song Ya nodded.

"The performance of the villain Kevin Spacey, wow, he deserves an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, and no one can compete with him." Roger Eber smiled pointedly, "I heard that he also auditioned for a cat-and-mouse game?" ”

"Yes, the second male, but his image of a high-IQ, crazy, and self-destructive villain in that movie may be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for a long time, but it may not be suitable to play a positive role in the cat-and-mouse game." Song Ya replied.

"Hehe, it makes sense, but he did a great job." Roger Albert ends the conversation.

"Leave him alone, he will give our movie a good rating and a good review, and we will definitely succeed!"

Yeremov also came over after the party, he was very excited, and whispered to Roger Albert's back.

"I hope so. Mr. Linton, yes, my side has just ended, how did the Los Angeles side react? "Song Ya is answering Linton's call," Ridley Scott is angry? How angry? A film critic said to his face that he was imitating Spielberg's style? Not really, right? I don't feel it......."

In short, the director is getting angry now, Linton is putting out the fire over there, try to persuade him not to release news that is unfavorable to the box office and awards before the release, Ridley Scott should be able to carry it...... Right?

Yeremov began to summarize the evaluations of professionals on the scene, and generally expressed great satisfaction with the film, of course, this is generally not counted, they do not hesitate to praise in person, and then how they will write in their own columns is another matter.

But the next morning, Daniel's phone called, and he was furious.

“APLUS! What's going on!? I just heard that Mariah Carey is suddenly going to get the rights to her songs back into the deal between Sony and MJ!? Didn't you make this decision with me in advance? ”

“WTF? No, I don't know. Song Ya was stunned.

"You call her now and ask for clarification! I'm going to be embarrassed if you do that! You must know that Sony has the full right to add the copyright of your two songs to the ATV copyright library of MJ, and the addition of the copyright of your two songs will make Sony pay a lot less cash to MJ, it's me! I kept persuading them that you two are very resolute, and if they force it, you and Mariah Carey will definitely make trouble or choose not to renew the contract, so they won't dare to act rashly! Now it means that I have been a wicked person in front of the parent company for you, and I have been betrayed instead? ”

Daniel said faster and faster, "You know APLUS, because of that antitrust lawsuit, Sony has a lot of dissatisfaction with me, if you compare this company to a person, he just won the DVD standard dispute, lost a lot of practical benefits, and he is very unhappy now!" Full of anger and nowhere to vent! ”

"Don't be angry Daniel, wait until I ask first, okay?" Song Ya hung up the phone and hurriedly called his wife.

"yes, I asked Sandy Gren to do that." Mariah Carey replied lightly.

"Why are you doing this!?" Song Ya yelled into the phone, "Daniel is now not a human being inside and out by you!" ”

"Punishment, remember? My rules ......"

She was quite proud, "My songs, my copyright, I can deal with it as I want, you have no right to interfere." Oh, by the way, and I just watched a cat-and-mouse game in New York, and you filmed Xue Linfen and Amy Adams beautifully, and that stupid drunken white girl who starred in a lot of your music videos, right? Drunk with Fergi in Chicago? Don't think I don't know anything! ”

'Bang! The phone was hung up.

"Daniel, uh...... Mimi did exactly that. Song Ya called Daniel back with a full head.

“Fxxk!”

"You haven't left Chicago yet, have you? Wait for me, I'll go back to New York with you. ”

Daniel was very helpful in this matter, telling Sony leadership that APLUS and Mariah Carey were adamant that they would not agree to add the rights to the song to the deal with MJ, and that they were very adamant. Now that Mariah Carey has withdrawn, it means that his words are just a pretext used to deceive the superiors and subordinates, what will Sonny think of him?

"That's not how it works, APLUS, your alliance with Mariah Carey has collapsed, then I can't protect the copyright of your songs anymore, you wait for Sony to add your songs to the merger deal with ATV! And NAS and his manager Newman, who were unlucky with me inside and out, and those little singers! ”

Song Ya hurriedly led people straight to New York, and Daniel made his attitude clear again on the phone, no matter how much he persuaded him, it was not easy to do it.

Is this the retribution for my crazy cheating? She has no evidence, but instead beats her up with a harsher punishment than the last time she was caught on the scene?

"Where's Mimi!?"

The phone couldn't get through, and Song Ya rushed into Tribeca's house, only his wife's agent, Sandy Gren, was there, "You egged her on behind my back, right?" Annoyed, he grabbed Sandy Glenn by the collar, "You didn't completely fall out with MJ, did you?" You're still doing things for MJ! ”

"It's none of my business, APLUS, I persuaded her, she's been talking about punishing you all this time, didn't I quietly remind you earlier? She was so angry after watching the cat-and-mouse game last night that no one could convince her! Sandy Glenn gave an innocent look.

"Fool a three-year-old!"

Song Ya let go of her hand, "How could she suddenly think of this when no one knocked on the side, I don't feel like there will be an accident at all, I'm about to forget about it!" But it's no small thing, Sandy! Didn't Daniel's crisis of confidence in Sony's harm to her? We had a very comfortable time with Daniel! ”

"I can't do it anyway. Go and persuade her yourself, she's going to a banquet hosted by Sony Music Copyrights and ATV. Sandy Gren gave an address.

“Mimi……”

Song Ya casually changed into a formal dress and rushed there, his wife was talking to a man with a smile with a wine glass, and when she saw herself, she rolled her eyes and turned her head.

"APLUS, APLUS......" The man turned around with a sly smile on his face.

"It's you."

It turned out to be MJ's lawyer, Aaron Bruegman, the guy who had leaked the content of the conversation he had when he met MJ, and he was almost swept away by MJ because of his complaint, but MJ trusted him more under the huge blow of the 93 case, in short, he was an enemy, and his relationship with Motura was still very good, "Go away, Mimi and I are going to talk alone." Song Ya was too lazy to pretend.

“OK。”

Aaron Bruggerman took the wine glass and left slowly, and when he was about to pass by, he suddenly said in his ear: "The child king." ”

"What?" Song Ya didn't hear it too clearly, and she didn't understand what it meant.

"Kid King, remember APLUS? MJ told you back then that when a group of children get together, someone will always use a little trick to make themselves the king of the children......"

Aaron Bruegman raised his glass, "ATV and Sony are honored to share half of the rights to all your music, and I wish us a happy cooperation." ”

"Hehe......" Song Ya desperately suppressed his anger, trying to raise the corners of his mouth and reply a few cruel words, but he couldn't think of a suitable counterattack word for a while, his mouth opened and closed again.

"Sorry, I borrowed it." Aaron Bruegman observed his reaction and became even more proud.

"Hmph." The other two faced each other, and Mariah Carey pursed her lips and looked at the sky at a forty-five degree angle proudly.

Many people on the side noticed this, and Song Ya also turned around and left.

"Where did you go?" Mariah Carey waited for a while and felt that something was wrong, and caught up with Linda, who was left behind, "What kind of attitude is this!?" Reasonable? ”

"Stupid girl!"

Linda used the explosive power of the black aunt to pull her arm and pull her in a half circle, "Sometimes, in some things, men must not lose, do you understand?" ”

With his hands in his pockets, Song Ya walked out of the banquet hall, there seemed to be paparazzi outside, and the flash was on.

Old Mike opened the car door, and there was a clatter of high heels behind him, and with one hand in the crook of his arm, he jerked his arm up and shook it off, and got into the car.
