Chapter 944: Three Loves
Taking advantage of the night, she arrived in Los Angeles in a low-key manner, Song Ya asked the bodyguard to send Mila back to her residence, she and Escuber will spend about ten hours flying to Lima early tomorrow morning, and then change cars to go to the set of the Python Disaster to meet with the crew, which is very hurried and hard, and needs a good rest.
"I can sing too."
As soon as she returned to the two-person world, Amy became lively, and she hugged the man's arm and coquettishly.
"Okay, Mira's singing skills can be competent for saliva songs, are you...... I'll write you a nursery rhyme when the time comes. ”
Song Ya scratched her nose and laughed. She learned from Mira's conversation with herself that she had given Mira several more songs, and she was inevitably a little surprised.
"Nasty!"
Amy Jiaojiao, "I remember before, at the owl restaurant, I fantasized a lot after I got your phone number, and I thought I should try my best to take the opportunity to express myself, so I practiced Mira's to Deklerk in front of the mirror, that song was so popular with her at the time, but seriously, it wasn't difficult to sing at all......"
She yawned, chattering and chattering quietly, and finally fell asleep quietly in her arms, while Song Ya stroked her soft blonde hair and fell into memory.
Mira doesn't like to mention the love past with herself now, she can feel it, every time she takes the initiative to mention it, she always deals with it casually, and she can't go back after some feelings. She was so smart, she had been through so much, she knew very well that she was only a member of her own forest now, she didn't even have the same extravagance as Amy, and she gathered her pride like a fog, and didn't resist Harley, and Amy......
"Here we are." Old Mac drove into Amy's cottage.
"Hmm." Song Ya picked up the girl carefully and gently, for fear of waking her.
Hayden had almost finished the new home he had given her, Beverly Hills was huge, but the expensive and good houses in Beverly Hills were not easy to buy, and the mansion that Hayden had booked would not move out until the end of the year.
It just so happens that when the time comes, it will be a gift for the release of the modern chapter of Romeo and Juliet starring her, and the movie schedule has been set, November 1st.
'The halo of APLUS is no more, the breakup fee of 50 million, the loss of tens of millions of dollars in three investments, and bankruptcy is imminent? ’
The tabloids in Los Angeles generally don't say much good things, and they add fuel to the fire and discuss how much money they lost in their divorce, will they go bankrupt because of the miserable losses in 3DFX and A+CN and the Inner City Broadcasting Company, a bunch of idiots, just check the value of the Netscape stock in their hands, can't they afford to lose?
However, it just happened to be able to help himself cry and cry poor, and Song Ya was very chicken and did not clarify.
On his way to Universal Studios the next day, he studied the reaction of the serious media. Yesterday, the Chicago Sun News broke the news during the day, and it was admitted by himself in the evening, so the news spread quickly, and in New York, a reporter interviewed Pierre, the president of the Inner City Broadcasting Company.
Pierre first admitted that the company was in the red, but he stressed that "since the injection of APLUS we have divested some negative assets, the business situation has improved significantly", and by the way, he did not forget to cry to the New York City government to press the New York City Council to keep the management rights of the Apollo Theater that the Elephants have been trying to take back. The war went on, and as Mayor Giuliani's prestige grew, so much so did the situation, so much so did Ms. Sloane, her public relations and political adviser, spend a lot of time on the offensive and defensive side of the council there.
Gordon, the director of A+CN, also took the opportunity to complain about the huge loss because the number of subscriptions never met expectations, and he bluntly said that "APLUS's money and the hard work of all African-American colleagues in Taiwan have not received enough support from the expected black community."
The 3DFX trio continues to rant at graphics card and memory manufacturers.
The benefits of celebrities are here, every move is news, at least some black middle-class users who got a free one-year subscription in the A+CN promotion plan, guiltily spontaneously organized renewal activities, which is the new income of real money, and there is almost no marketing cost.
"I'M SORRY, APLUS, MR. PRESIDENT ORDERED US TO FREEZE THE FILMING PLAN FOR THE THIRD PART OF MY LIFE."
In addition to sending Amy and Mira back to Los Angeles this time, the main purpose is to settle the income with the two Hollywood giants, and the production cost of the second part of my life is 14 million, of which A+ Film Studio bears 6 million, and the box office is 30 million.
This time, Song Ya did not package his part of the forward income such as video tape leasing and TV station licensing into financial products, but chose to settle with the distributor Universal on a long-term basis, and at present, Universal Pictures is under the leadership of the boss Bronfman Jr. and the president, the former founder of CAA, Ron Meyer, the business situation and organizational structure are very stable, and his personal relationship with them is also okay.
Universal didn't play any tricks, as a super-rich third-generation wine giant from Seagram, Universal's new boss Bronfman Jr. has a good reputation in this regard, although there are Hollywood people who laugh at him behind his back for being a loser and stupid.
In the second project of my life, there is also the income from the original soundtrack of the movie, as well as the sales driven by the clothing sponsor A+ clothing, and my A+ records and A+ clothing still make a lot of money.
"What's wrong with the people in the world?"
He then went with Yeremov to the small editing room rented by Xue Linfen, which also belonged to Universal, not far away, "and it seemed that he was not in a good mood." ”
"It's summer, and there hasn't been a movie in the world yet."
Xue Linfen said like a treasure: "Warner's tornado, Paramount's Mission Impossible box office has exploded, and Disney's just-released Brave Island is also extremely strong, and it is likely to send the male protagonist Nicolas Cage to the 20 million club in one fell swoop, and director Michael Bay will be promoted to a first-line director." ”
"Universal can only count on Eddie Murphy's fat professor, who will start painting at the end of this month." Yeremov said.
"Eddie Murphy is working for Universal again?" Song Ya asked.
"After continuously punishing Paramount, Eddie Murphy is no longer their popular fried chicken, and the honeymoon is over." Yeremov said: "If this movie is pounced again, he will be completely out of breath." ”
"Oh."
It's none of their business, the lights are turned off, and the three of them and the editor begin to watch the rough cut of the finished film.
It's not good, it's still not good, the budget of this A+ Film Studio's second black-themed small-budget film has nearly doubled, and the acting skills of Sandy Newton's big heroine are no problem, but like the previous 'How do I stop this', the whole film is lethargic, and no matter how much it is re-edited, it seems that it can't be saved.
"How?"
As a producer for the first time, this film is like Xue Linfen's biological child, she turned on the light, took off her glasses and asked hopefully.
"I wonder if David Geffen would be willing to help us release it, or buy the DreamWorks library?"
Song Ya didn't want to hit her, so she and Yeremov looked at each other tacitly, "I'll ask." Yeremov nodded.
"Is there a chance for awards season?" Xue Linfen asked.
"It should ...... Yes, I'll ask some film critics to help evaluate it first. Yeremov squeezed out a smile, "Let's take a break." He called the editor out.
"Thank you, when I used to be actors, the editing room was like a forbidden place and a temple of power for directors and producers, and we even didn't hesitate to sleep with them in order to be smuggled in and stare at our own scenes." Xue Linfen believed it, stretched her waist in a good mood, leaned on Song Ya's arms and sighed.
"Huh?"
"I mean certain actresses."
"Hmm."
went to Xue Linfenna to see his son, and the next day, Song Ya rushed to the headquarters of Hollywood Pictures, this time he called Goodman and Hamlin Law Firm, Coopers Certified Public Accountants, CNA Insurance Company, etc., a strong lineup of more than 20 people, because the last Kunes incident made him and Disney Linton, Ovitz, Roy Disney have a delicate relationship, and the amount of money involved in the settlement of the cat and mouse game is also large, so this time he chose to go all out.
If Disney plays tricks, the cooperation with Hollywood Pictures and the negotiation with Disney's record industry will be suspended in the future, and he has always been iron-clad, even if it is the well-known Disney legal department, he will have to do it if he is not satisfied!
"Introduction, this is Samur, the vice president of customer service at Coopers." He even called Samuel.
"Wow." Linton and the CEO of Bowei Pictures were both happy when they saw the men in suits who kept walking into the conference room, "APLUS, is it because you lost us 3.5 million last time?" ”
"Hmph......" Song Ya clasped his hands to his chest and sat down opposite them.
"Shall we get started, then?" Samur asked businessmanlikely.
"Okay." Across the street, people from Hollywood Pictures and distribution company Bowell Pictures are also starting to get busy.
"This is the data and files that we have divided with the North Mi cinema chain."
"Overseas Cinema ......"
"Copy costs, publicity expenses, award expenses and other accounts."
"Publisher Commissions and Other Miscellaneous Fees......
"...... ad revenue"
"This is a half-share agreement between A+ Film Studios and Hollywood Studios."
In a single stroke, the cat and mouse game has a global box office of more than 180 million according to Disney's statistics, plus advertising and peripheral income, A+ Film Studio can get 36 million.
As for the investors found by Hollywood Studios, such as Johnny Carson on his side, and Harvey Weinstein of Miramax on Linton's side, they will be divided separately.
This is equivalent to A+ Film Studio's side getting twice the profit with an investment of about 12 million, and in another account, A+ Film Studio will only give Johnny Carson 4 million, and double the 2 million investment, so what is the old man not satisfied with, and there are about 2 million funds from ordinary investors, and at present, Song Ya and Yeremov are not very bold, and they have divided 4 million.
So it is equivalent to A+ Film Studio's 8 million investment of 24 million, a net profit of 16 million, not only that, but also long-term income such as video tape rental, and the sequel to Dance My Life chose to take a share of the long stream, and the money accumulated over the years will even far exceed 16 million.
"Yes."
After getting a hint that there was nothing wrong with Samuel, Song Ya began to sign, which was much better than when I danced the first part of my life in the hands of Universal in the time of Simberg, and Disney really didn't do much to hack it.
"Hehe, I watched yesterday's news APLUS, those tabloids don't understand at all, but I can understand."
Linton smiled as he signed, "Everybody likes you more, doesn't they?" ”
"Sort of."
In any case, Inner City Broadcasting and A+CN are good for the black community, and 3DFX has ushered in a new era of 3D in technology and gaming, and losing money on these, except for the snobby tabloids, his cry of poverty has quickly gained a very wide sympathy, and to some extent it has really made him more likeable.
"Think about MJ, you're really in love with him here." Said the CEO of Bowei Pictures.
"Hmm."
MJ's music video for their don't care about us single is currently very popular, but it quickly attracted the same criticism from both parties, and the Jewish community was even more angry.
Ms. Sloan said the move hurt him even more than the '93 case, and the current president was annoyed that he had revisited the Rodney King case in a year when stability was most needed to incite hatred among the black community, like the party's candidate Bob Dole, who didn't count on black votes in the first place, and scolded him even more, and the Jews who controlled the media, and the entire upper class of society had achieved a rare unanimity on the issue of disliking MJ.
The music video was quickly banned by all TV stations, demanding revisions. The B list simply locked the song in the thirtieth position, and it didn't care about any neutrality and credibility. The tabloids once again unearthed his black material, the rumors that had long been falsified were repeatedly recalled, and the five former bodyguards of Neverland were organized by someone to accuse and prosecute him on the basis of the case of '93.
His ex-wife, Elvis Presley's daughter, Lisa Pressley, was also lured by the media to say something imprudent.
For a while, he was once again in a state of being shouted and beaten by everyone.
Hehe, before I could do anything, you fell? I don't know how Motura manages people, Song Ya is inevitably a little gloating.
"Hey, boss, the Blade project might require some additional budget."
As soon as he left the door of the conference room, Yeremov set his sights on the new cat-and-mouse game of 24 million plus 6 million for the second part of my life.
"How much?" Song Ya was in a good mood.
"Industrial Light & Magic told Catherine that adding another 10 million would better implement some of Zack Snyder's new ideas." Yeremov said.
"That's what we pay for five million? That's 5 million yuan from me. ”
Song Ya scratched her head, "A superhero film with a cost of 38 million...... In principle, you can, but give me the budget sheet to check first. ”
"Great! The rest of the money ......"
"For the time being, it's all transferred back to A+ copyright and asset management company, your boss is going bankrupt, isn't it?" Song Ya joked, "Goodman, I'll leave it to you." By the way, I have prepared a celebratory dinner for you in San Marino. ”
The group happily went to Xue Linfen's house, "What are you looking at?" Hayden was watching TV with Donovan in the living room, "Golf? Song Ya asked.
"Yes, Tiger Woods, this kid is amazing, he has won the Amateur Golf Championship in the United States for three consecutive years, and he is about to turn professional, a year younger than you."
Hayden praised one of the dark-skinned golfers in the picture, "He's of African-Chinese descent like you, he's more Thai, white, Indian, Indian than you...... Wow, political correctness is invincible, I'm studying economics at Stanford, I'm excellent in character and learning, no negative news, it's perfect! Perfect! ”
"I'm 100 percent sure that another African-American who has achieved overwhelming results in the traditional strength of whites and is the favorite game of golf in high society will be the light of the new blacks."
Donovan continued: "It's a pity that he was preemptively signed by IMG, I heard that he has already got an endorsement contract for Nike, TAG Heuer and some golf equipment and courses, and he hasn't even started playing professionally!" ”
