After a night's rest in Los Angeles, Song Ya returned to Chicago, and the Los Angeles police estimated that they were secretly relieved, at this point in time, they were too afraid of another accident.

“M-FXXK！”

Back to the office of A+ Records, he asked about the two Hollywood movies he had invested in, but he didn't expect to get bad news, Xiao Lizi who appeared in the only Apocalypse movie clip, the actor he was so optimistic about, the two movies expected to be released this year were all on the street, and the investment of a total of 50,000 dollars didn't even make a splash.

Distressed!

Song Asheng, who rushed back from San Francisco, trembled under his anger, and the old man supported the monocle, "Boss, don't blame me, it was Nong's idea that time, besides, it's too normal to invest in Hollywood without any money." ”

"Can't get a penny back?" Song Ya glared at him and asked Goodman.

Goodman rummaged through the contract he had signed, "The first film, 'Goblin III', the producer gave up the release plan and transferred the film directly to the videotape market. Because your investment agreement is for box office profit sharing, the revenue from the video tape has nothing to do with you, so, yes, the revenue from this movie is: zero. In the second part, the producer declared bankruptcy halfway through filming, and now the office is empty, and the company boss has run away......"

"This ......" Song Ya was speechless, the apocalypse is hanging you up again!

"And even if the first part can enter the theater market and be successfully released, there is a high probability that your investment will not be returned, the distribution company has 10,000 ways to drift the producer's share, and the producer has 10,000 ways to settle the accounts, as long as there is no profit on the books, you are a small investor who simply sends money and thinks that you can sit back and relax by signing a contract, and you can't get a penny back at all."

Hayden looked at Song Ya's joke a little bit, "I warned you earlier, Hollywood is like this, it's so dark that you can't see your fingers, you ......"

As he spoke, Hayden found Song Yazheng staring at him coldly, and quickly stopped nagging.

Song Ya didn't plan to let him go, "Go on." ”

He made a zipper motion with his hand on his mouth.

"Hmph, is that how you William Morris serve his customers?" Song Ya banged and knocked him.

"You are not cheated this time, the producer also lost money, it belongs to losing money together and being unlucky, and the agency is not a prophet, if we can know which movie can sell well, it would be good."

Hayden still opened his mouth, "Even if you know, Hollywood's money is not so easy to make, it's very complicated, a small investor like you who doesn't even have some connections, it's too difficult to get the money back, you can't even see the real accounts of the producer, distributor and theater side, how can you pull money out of their mouths?" ”

Under his detailed introduction, Song Ya understood, first of all, film investment is gambling, no one will know the audience's tastes and preferences in advance, and even the seven major film companies often have big productions with heavy losses, let alone not knowing themselves in the film industry at all.

And then Hollywood's favorite pit is investors like themselves, you take the money to sign a standard contract, and then sit back and wait for the film to make money? How can there be such a good thing in the world, they can play you to death by doing accounts casually, for example, when you audit and find that the set cost a million, ask what to do? I built a church as a background, what about the church? After filming the movie, I dismantled.

Then you check the accounts of the construction company that contracted the construction of the church, and find that they subcontracted the project to a company registered on a small island abroad, even if you are really good, and the accountant you hired is competent, you check the accounts on the island, and find that the project has been transferred back to a company somewhere in the United States.

You check again, and find out that the truth is that the company is under the name of a certain executive of the producer, through a lawsuit to recover losses, it is estimated that by that time the money you recovered will not be enough to hire accountants and lawyers, and you have to beware of the other party's dog jumping over the wall to ask you to eat guns.

This is still a little trick of the producer, the distributor is darker, but the theater side is cleaner, that is because the producer, distribution and theater were all one in the past, and it was too black, and it was forcibly separated by the legislation of the United States government. But that's just the past, in the 80s, through a series of legal and political offenses and defenses, big film companies are now returning to the theater market, buying shares in many theater companies, and gradually regaining their influence, but there are lessons from the past, and now they don't dare to go too far in this field.

Therefore, the usual practice of small investors now is to either gather together and buy the guarantee services of large insurance companies that are proficient in Hollywood routines, so as to ensure that their investment can get some returns, but that kind of service will lead to higher capital costs, and the return on investment is still ugly. Either invest in small-cost movies of small companies in the form of gambling, such as the low-cost production of a small company invested by Song Ya, since it is gambling, the income is even more unstable, and if a small company says bankrupt, it will go bankrupt, and if it is not in theaters, it will not be in theaters, you have no way to take him, and this kind of investment method requires connections who are proficient in the internal rules of Hollywood.

"Can I invest in Xiao Lizi and the money will follow him?" Song Ya asked.

"Actors bring money into the group? Only superstars have the confidence to talk about this with the producer, and Xiao Lizi is not qualified yet. Hayden exclaimed, "You don't want to invest in him, do you?" ”

"Alas!" Song Ya sighed, "Forget it, forget it before you get Hollywood straight." ”

"You have to at least establish some contacts first, and then you can't get money into Hollywood without finding a reliable and capable person to lead the way." Hayden advised, "It's better to be Jewish." ”

"I see." Song Ya was taught, and the power of Jews in Hollywood was well known.

The Hollywood dream was temporarily suspended, and Hallie naturally couldn't help, and when Hayden and the others left, Song Ya called over and briefly talked about the situation of the next two movies, saying that she really couldn't help.

Harley was naturally disappointed, but Song Ya knew that with her cleverness, she would not hang herself from a tree.

"Can I come in?" Hanging up the phone, Fergie knocks on the door outside.

"Come in, what's the matter?"

Fergie pushed the door in, and she wore the polka-dot butterfly sleeves on her body again today, this style of clothes that perfectly concealed her beautiful figure was something Song Ya hated, "Didn't Hayden tell you the schedule?" It's not that you don't want to come to the company casually when you use the time in the recording studio, and the dance class and vocal class are not enough for you? He grimaced and continued to put pressure on.

"I'm sorry."

Becky apologized softly, "I just wanted to ask if there was a new song I could practice......"

"I will arrange this in the future, and the training of new people has to come step by step." The Good Girl Route? Song Ya remembered Cassidi again.

"But I'm not new anymore, ...... on the 'Children's Company' show," she protested in a whisper.

'Smack! ’

Song Ya threw the document in his hand on the table, "In my eyes, you are a newcomer!" I lost money in Hollywood today and I'm in a bad mood, don't bargain with me! ”

"I'm sorry......" Becky stuck out her tongue and lowered her head.

"Sit down."

Song Ya motioned for her to sit on the chair in front of the boss's desk, then casually took out a garbage song from the drawer that she didn't know to throw in, walked up to her, and put her ass on the boss's table, so that her crotch was just in front of her line of sight, "There's a new song here, do you want to try it?" He used the same trick that Eric had taught him back then, and began to seduce.

"Yes!" Fergie raised her head and was startled when she saw Song Ya's posture, but she quickly reacted, "Boss, are you harassing?" She asked with a smile and staring into Song Ya's eyes.

"Huh? Ahem, don't talk nonsense. Song Ya didn't expect the other party to directly pierce herself, "Do you know what harassment is?" ”

"Of course, I've been trained in anti-harassment by the Actors' Guild, and I've told you I'm not a newcomer." Fergie's smile widened.

This shrewd girl!

Song Ya is a little unsure, if she didn't think that this kind of girl was very good at diving, why did she sign her herself? "You misunderstood, let's talk about the new song." He handed the score in his hand to the other party.

"What kind of garbage is this song!" Fergie's musical literacy is no worse than Song Ya's, otherwise she would not have won the starring role in the children's music column at a young age.

"It's easy first, then it's hard, and again, don't bargain with me." Song Ya straightened his face again.

"Okay." Phigi pursed her lips and stopped talking.

The two were silent for a while, "What else do you have to do?" Song Ya asked.

"Boss, you promised, the clothes are ......"

Fergie touched her butterfly sleeve.

Song Ya then remembered that she casually told her sister that she would buy her a few sets of clothes on the body.

Feelings: You wore this dress to me today on purpose!?
