Batman Forever movie ...... As far as the usual routines of rice-style blockbusters are concerned, handsome men and beautiful women, action, special effects, amusement, thriller, emotional drama, everything is a little decent, all the acting skills are online, and there are comic superheroes plus.

Song Ya feels that the reason why film critics criticize this film and director Joe Schumacher is nothing more than that they like Tim Burton's dark gothic style, and they don't have this preference anyway. It's really not as good as Tim Burton's first Batman, because there is Nicholson's Joker in that one, but it's not necessarily worse than the second Batman Returns, at least Jim Carrey's Riddler is very outstanding, and Nicole Kidman is also more eye-catching than Michelle Pfeiffer, the Catwoman in Batman Returns.

It's a pity that the people of the United States really don't want to see the Australian white girl, she still became one of the key points of verbal criticism, saying that Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman deliberately learned taekwondo for the last part, wearing a sexy black tights and working hard in the play, and in this one, she is just a beautiful vase.

But soon, reality proved that Song Ya's judgment was problematic, and it was only the second week of the opening of the painting, and this Warner masterpiece with a production cost of more than 100 million yuan was directly squeezed out of the box office list by Apollo 13, which had the main theme and could no longer reach the main theme.

Like last year's Forrest Gump, the summer file, the main theme, starring Tom Hanks, the familiar three magic weapons to win, the only change is that the publisher has changed from Paramount to Universal, and the budget is only half of the eternal Batman.

"Mr. Szynberg, congratulations, Universal's Apollo 13 is a big box office hit, and I heard that the global box office is likely to exceed 500 million in the end?"

Song Ya called Simberg, the president of Universal, to say hello, just after nearly three months of filming the sequel to My Life, the film was just closed, and the issue of schedule was on the agenda.

But Simberg's mood didn't seem to be very good, "Maybe, uh, APLUS, I've been a little busy lately, you know, the future water world is going to open in late July, and you can talk to the executive in charge of this about the sequel of my life." ”

"OK, then I won't bother you, Mr. Szynberg."

Song Ya hung up the phone strangely, "What's wrong with this old man?" ”

Everyone else in the room shook their heads with a smile.

"You've made the formation a little bigger today, not quite what I expected, Mr. Roberts Jr."

Song Ya smiled at the CEO of Comcast next to him, and came to the Comcast headquarters in Philadelphia today to officially sign the contract, and the other party specially held a grand press conference, invited many reporters to attend, and there was a media dinner in the evening.

"I want to say to the outside world that we welcome you to the Comcast family, APLUS."

The Roberts family actually has not many Comcast shares in their hands, but they still control this giant across the TV, telecommunications, network, cable and other industries very steadily, because his family owns almost all of Comcast's high-voting B shares, and Roberts Jr. must be regarded as the top boss in the industry, although his personal worth is far less than that of another tycoon, John Malone.

"I'm honored, but ...... Seriously, I'm a little flattered. ”

Song Ya felt that the other party was deliberately fanfare, setting himself up in front of the media, and then forcing himself to make a high investment in the new TV station for the sake of face......

Hmph, I don't want much face, Song Ya sneered silently in his heart.

"It's okay, the basis of our cooperation is all here." Little Roberts didn't know his mental activity, and pressed the thick contract text on the table with one palm and smiled.

"Yes."

Song Ya looked back at the back, the wall was cross-plastered with Comcast and A+CN logos, very formal, Alicia was dressed in a decent professional attire, holding back her excitement and standing behind the side, and immediately gave a thumbs up after meeting her eyes.

This time, with the joint help of Morningstar, Coopers and Alicia Law Firm, a decent exclusive broadcast contract was negotiated with Comcast, which was divided into tiers according to the pilot ratings data of the gradually increasing duration, and each of the milestone nodes corresponded to the different channel resources given by Comcast, and the risks on both sides were controllable, and the worst result was just that Song Ya spent a lot of money to get a small channel with little influence, and the same is true for Comcast's side, and the worst is just another bad channel. Anyway, every cable operator has no shortage of bad stations.

"Two gentlemen, let's get started." Comcast staff came over to remind.

"Okay."

The two of them restrained their smiles, straightened their suits, sat upright, opened the beautifully framed folder in front of them, and the cameras of the reporters in front of them began to work frantically.

"Here, here." Alicia leaned over slightly, and softly instructed Song Ya to sign the contract, "It's okay, let's ...... with Mr. Roberts"

Song Ya put down the pen, turned his head and exchanged a smile with Roberts Jr., the two stood up tacitly, handed each other the contract text, and then held this position side by side, facing the reporter's camera, smiling at the flash light as bright as day......

"What conditions did you give Gordon to keep him willing to leave BET?"

After talking about the scene and answering questions from reporters, the two reunited at the media dinner in the evening, and Roberts Jr. was most interested in Gordon's job hopping.

"I can talk about it now, in fact, ......" Song Ya blinked, "He took the initiative to come to me, otherwise I wouldn't have the heart to be an African-American news station at all." ”

"Oh, I see, because Johnson made BET focus on entertainment content, and Gordon was upset, right?" Roberts Jr. clearly knows BT well.

"It's almost, and he also hopes that his career plan will enter the field of TV station management, and he will not hesitate to leave the powerful BET for this, and everything will start again." Song Ya nodded, "And the treatment I give him is better than BET, the president of A+CN, the producer, regular host and editor-in-chief of the evening news program, with a minimum guarantee of 10 million for four years, and a salary of up to 20 million according to the ratings, and some option incentives." ”

"Four years is a bit short, isn't it?" Roberts Jr. asked: "This kind of top host in the industry with choreographing and directing ability will generally sign a super long contract, otherwise changing jobs after four years will cause a big loss of audiences." ”

"He won't, and I'...... A little hesitant. ”

Song Ya told the truth, "He did almost nothing in the preparation stage of the TV station, and I also spent energy to help him pacify Johnson, so I had to urgently bring in Morningstar's professional services, which cost a lot of money." ”

"Well, it's a super long marathon to run a TV station, who else have you poached?" Roberts Jr. asked.

"It's not convenient to disclose for the time being, so there's no hurry, right? The only part of our first phase of the pilot program is the evening news, which will be until the end of the year. Song Ya asked rhetorically.

"Well, don't save money on strong male news presenters, that's my advice."

Roberts Jr. kindly reminded: "This kind of person has the ability to write and direct, is the mouthpiece of the TV station, the audience will not care about the staff who write behind the scenes, but will only put all the glory and trust on them, everyone is the stabilizer of the TV station, if the money is not enough, they will inevitably use their influence on the people to cash out from other places, which will cause more damage to the reputation of the TV station." ”

"I'll give Gordon ......"

Song Ya feels that he has given Gordon a lot, and his influence is only limited to the black community, and he can't compare with the news hosts and talk show bosses of the three major wireless stations who have taken hundreds of millions of top contracts for many years. The annual salary of up to 5 million, as well as management positions and option incentives, must be interesting enough......

You must know that Will Smith, who became popular again in April this year with the Jedi Men's box office upset, that guy has won two Grammy Awards, participated in TV series on ABC for six years, and has a handsome appearance with a wide audience.

"Gordon's treatment is no problem, I'm just kindly reminding you, in addition to money, you also have to be careful to tolerate the various quirks of the male host, NBC, BBC and other top Western media stations, some well-known hosts or TV station executives will do very dirty things in private, everyone is used to helping cover the lid, as a new player in the industry, you must also abide by the tacit understanding of the industry, at least don't have any naïve heroic ideas." Roberts Jr. said.

"I know, CNBC's Roger Ayres doesn't just ......" Song Ya also knows, and now there are rumors in the industry that the female employees and hostesses in that guy's crazy sneak platform can't even cover GE, the capital behind NBC.

"Ahh Roberts Jr. lifted his glass.

"Okay, I got it." Song Ya clinked glasses with him to show that he was taught.

"Mr. Roberts, APLUS." At this time, Philby, a well-known music critic who had been messing around in Philadelphia, came over to say hello.

Little Roberts briefly exchanged a few polite words with him, and then disappeared from the dinner.

"The world is changing so fast, isn't it?"

Philby has always been bitter and mean in writing, but after leaving the pen and keyboard, people will be a lot more intimidating, "Who would have thought that the MJ brothers and sisters dropped one place in the second week of the new album that landed fourth on the B list!" ”

"Hehe......"

Song Ya didn't answer his words, and it was Biggie who squeezed the MJ brothers and sisters down, and he actually contributed a rap part in a song in MJ's new album, but ...... One More Chance, which he had in his debut album last year, suddenly jumped up, and he really MJ.

But the magic of this is that the song One More Chance has the voice of Biggie's wife Fez Evans, and her lyrics in it include the phrase 'Biggie gimme one more chance', although the original intention of recording the song at the time was definitely not to beg Biggie for the fact that she slept with 2PAC. Give me another chance', but combined with 2PAC's previous triumphant boasting revelations, it would be too troublesome for the popularity of this song to be hyped at this strange point in time.

"Those African-American DJs are so bad, Biggie might be angry about her song for the first time on the B charts, right?"

Philby smirked: "2PAC is also in prison with one song after another, and the wars in the hip-hop circles on the east and west coasts, as well as the public accusations of the top politicians of the Elephant Party, have not delayed them from making a lot of money." But this money Biggie earns is inevitably too unhappy, if I Biggie directly find a way to kill 2PAC in prison, otherwise I will be ridiculed for the rest of my life. ”

"Hey! Hey! ”

Song Ya hurriedly retreated away from this big mouth, "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't hear anything just now." ”
