After Yeremov left, Song Ya used twelve points of hard work to grind and harden, and finally achieved the achievement, the next morning, he finished washing, looked at the three girls sleeping together like Oreo in the bedroom, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, got dressed, and went out.

"You can't afford not to go to the VMA (MTV Video Music Awards) in September."

Hayden was already waiting in the car, "You haven't been to the VMA once since your debut, William Morris's friend over there told us that Lei Shidong asked about it not long ago, saying why he never saw you in the VMA." ”

"Isn't Lei Shidong busy buying Paramount?" Song Ya remembered the news that Viacom intended to acquire Paramount for more than 8 billion yuan not long ago, "This kind of top rich man will also care about the specific operation of the TV station." ”

"Of course, MTV is one of Viacom's proudest businesses, Lei Shidong has been in a bad mood lately, her wife filed for divorce when he bought Paramount, and his friend Barry Diller became the most formidable competitor on the road to buying Paramount, you don't offend the media mogul without knowing it. Not to mention the influence of the media, Lei Shidong also has a large number of cinema chains in his hands, and he started with this. Hayden replied: "So this time the VMA is very sincere, live performances, multiple nominations, and the head of the VMA personally hinted to Donovan that you will win the award." ”

"They tried to help Motura frame me, don't you remember? Or what you William Morris told me, when I was fighting Motura in '91. Song Ya said.

"So you want to let Lei Shidong know that you still hold grudges?" Hayden asked: "Now that Lei Shidong is asking about you, he may just think of it by chance and ask casually, but the people below can't help but care, they brought the meaning, and I also brought the meaning to the ......."

"What if it's still a trap?" Song Ya was quite unhappy, "Even if there is no trap, can they still act as if nothing has happened if they have done bad things?" "He can't help but consider the Motura factor, after all, that guy has a good relationship with MTV, and he is plotting a rebellion.

"So you still don't want to go?" Hayden grimaced.

"Lei Shidong is seventy years old, right?" Song Ya asked.

"Wow......" Hayden laughed, "as long as he hasn't hung up yet, it's his now, and you don't care what the future holds." ”

"So you suggest I go? If it's a trap, I'll fire you. Song Ya scolded him.

"I'm not so careless, there's a party in two days, Lei Shidong will be there, I'll take you to have a chat with him." Hayden said.

"Throwing a party at 70?"

"Hehe, this is an old man, and he was caught by his wife a lot, so every time he wanted to do something big, his wife threatened to expose the divorce lawsuit, and then make money from him......"

"This kind of couple is really right."

"Huh." Hayden smiled and didn't say anything more.

The car drove into Universal Studios, the Amperin Entertainment headquarters was inside, the office space was not large, the corridor was full of movie posters produced by them, Jurassic Park was placed in the most conspicuous place, and there was a lifelike dinosaur model at the door.

After the film was released in June, it won 80 million box office in the first week, and now it has swept more than 200 million dollars in Beimi, which has widely caused a social trend about dinosaurs. The world has also sold out, and the final box office result will be a very scary number.

"Hello, hello Larry, Zach, hello." The Dance My Life crew rented three offices here, and the main creators of the crew basically met and held meetings here.

Song Ya shook hands with the people present one by one, and casually found a seat to sit down.

"About this version of the storyboard." Larry Sr. quickly got to the point, "You've all seen it, right?" Any other comments? ”

Everyone shook their heads, they guessed that their opinions had been fully discussed, "Well, that's right." Song Ya spoke, "Can you sublimate the inspirational content at the end of the film, and add some clips of the male and male and the female and the female running towards their respective lives?" ”

The new Apocalypse song Be What You want Be Be and inspirational, if you do the ending song, you need some movie pictures to match.

"Yes, I've thought about this too." Old Larry exchanged glances with the other creators, "The male protagonist officially entered the dance industry and became a star dancer." ”

"Don't, just become a professional backup dancer, have a regular income, and get out of the slums." Universal's producer advised: "Leave some upside for a sequel or something." ”

Old Larry looked at Song Ya.

"Well, yes, it's more realistic in this way." Song Ya has no opinion, he himself is from the slums, and for the black boys in the slums, it is already very good to have this kind of outlet.

"The heroine successfully entered her favorite dance troupe and became a dance star." Larry Sr. continued.

Everyone has no opinion on this, it is not enough for a rich heroine to be a backup dancer, and continuing to maintain the status gap between the two is conducive to the dramatic conflict of the sequel. Originally, in the original script, the heroine was in an art high school, and her dream was to enter a well-known art university, but Song Ya's own appearance was old-fashioned, so the old Larry raised the age of the character by two years and let the heroine appear as a college student.

"The second male enters the professional basketball team."

"The second female became a young singer, and his boyfriend became a music songwriter......"

Larry Sr. was very thoughtful, and everyone had no opinion, so he made a few notes on the script and moved on to the next topic.

The project is progressing smoothly under the mature system of Amperin Entertainment, and everyone is in a good mood, confirming one by one until it comes to the casting of the main actors.

"First of all, the second male, APLUS is tall and physical, and it is a little difficult to find a white actor who is taller and stronger than him, and let the audience see at a glance that he can play professional basketball."

The casting director who had clashed pulled out a stack of audition resumes, "the closest thing to this ...... is now"

Song Ya glanced at it, it was an actor introduced by Hallie, who played a rugby player in the crew of The Program she participated in.

"But his line skills are not good, and he can't show the kind of gag that comes from an African-American ghetto." Said the casting director.

"What about the others?" Old Larry asked.

"Everyone else is here, and I also mark the lines that are qualified, but I definitely can't play professional basketball at a glance." The casting director was a little helpless, "It's too difficult to find the perfect candidate, the main reason is that the character is white, if it is replaced by an African-American ......"

"No, the whole script is going to be changed to African-Americans, and we can't do this for a supporting role." Old Larry refused.

"Then you see." Said the casting director.

Five or six resumes were circulated in everyone's hands, "This person? Song Ya saw a familiar guy and looked up and recalled, "I seem to have met him while recording Saturday Night live." "That's right, he was the one holding the inflatable basketball hoop when he dunked the bridge.

"Who? Oh, Adam Sandra. The casting director took a look, "He's really on Saturday Night live, writing scripts, making occasional cameos, and he's a hilarious talent." But he's only 1.78 meters......"

"Personality change? A professional baseball player would be a good fit for him. "Someone proposed.

Old Larry thought for a moment and nodded, "Then there aren't many changes to the script, APLUS?" He looked at Song Ya.

"I'm okay with that."

In this kind of place, Song Ya doesn't want to be entangled more, is willing to give in, and then insists on her own opinion when the heroine is the heroine.

"Anyway, let's continue to audition first, and invite more agreeable ones, whether the script can be changed or not." Said Universal Producers.

Old Larry nodded, putting things aside.

"Second female, Tyra Banks is a good fit." Said the casting director.

"He's too tall, and he's ......," Zack Schneider finally spoke, gesturing with his hands on his chest, "The male audience may not be able to take their eyes off here, and they will steal the limelight from the heroine." ”

The men laughed knowingly, "Then don't think about her." "The casting director didn't insist.

"Then let's move on to the next round of auditions, it's all suitable, and we'll see it then." Larry Sr. said he would privately prioritize Taraghi.

The second boyfriend of the female, because the character is a black music creator, so there are a lot of requests from friends in the hip-hop circle, Song Ya is not easy to offend, so she simply singled out the actors who were asked and the Common that she pushed and put them out and said bluntly, everyone expressed their understanding, and they would give priority to choosing actors among these people.

"The headmistress of the art school, and the heroine's mother." These two people have similar characteristics, and they both choose middle-aged white women with good temperament, and Song Ya still has no opinion.

"This is not good, the acting skills are too good, and I always like to play with others." The producer of Amperin Entertainment singled out the resume of an old actor and excluded her.

"Is it wrong to be too good at acting?" Song Ya asked in surprise.

The director and producers laughed, "APLUS, you don't understand this, you and the heroine are both newcomers, and the acting skills presented on the screen will definitely be very young when the time comes, and there is an old actor who likes to perform and play against you, which will not only bring the audience a sense of disparity in performance, but also add pressure to you in the film critics, the gains outweigh the losses, after all, there is no harm if there is no comparison." The casting director explained that perhaps because the two did not clash again, he chose to take the initiative to show goodwill, after all, it is better for investors not to be offended or not to be offended.

The second male brother is a black boy with a ruffian-looking appearance, and Song Ya doesn't know any of them, so he still gives up the choice.

finally came the most controversial heroine.

Dozens of resumes of beautiful white girls with their own characteristics are lined up, which is still quite shocking, "Hair can be dyed, so it's not limited to blonde hair." Said the casting director.

"But debuting with blonde girls will have an impact on their future performance routes, right?" Anne Fletcher asked.

"What is there to pick and choose if you can invest tens of millions of dollars in the heroine of the film." The casting director shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Whoever is chosen can wake up with a smile from a dream." ”

"Actually, the heroine of my other crew is very suitable......" Anne Fletcher looked at Song Ya, "Cameron Diaz, the heroine in disguise, is very beautiful, and her smile is particularly charming, that is her debut." ”

"Forget it, she dares to play in the first movie?" The casting director asked.

"Yes, forget it, I'll talk about it." Anne Fletcher asked, "What about the Latina girl?" In Beautiful Girls, I love her dancing. ”

"She ......" Song Ya knew that she liked Shakira very much, but she hadn't been in touch with her for a long time, "I haven't contacted her much, but she insists on following the path of Latin music, and even refused to write songs to me, so she shouldn't come to Hollywood, right?" ”

Refuse to even write songs from APLUS? "Wow, this girl is really arrogant." There was a burst of admiration from the people in the room.

Song Ya saw Charlise Theron again in her resume, pursed her lips, didn't say anything, and picked up Amy's resume, "In the case of similar acting skills, it's better to give priority to her, is it okay?" ”

“NO！ APLUS！ This girl is too well-behaved, and she doesn't fit the heroine's personality too much! The casting director suddenly turned his face, and he objected loudly with a stiff head, "I thought you weren't as unreasonable this time as you were last time......"

"Hey, I don't insist on anything else, just this one actor selection power!" Song Ya glared at him: "Just one!" ”

"Her dancing expressiveness is not good." Anne Fletcher said: "It's like doing calisthenics. ”

"The heroine is the soul of this play." Old Larry didn't help either.

"Don't be willful, APLUS, everyone is together because of you, don't let us down, your performance so far has been surprisingly good." Universal Producers help.

"Hah! You've already discussed it, right!? Song Ya understood, stood up angrily, and looked over one by one, except for Yeremov and Zack Schneider, everyone avoided their eyes and acquiesced.

"Don't worry, it's only the second round of auditions, we're only discussing the general direction now, and this controversy will be put on hold for the time being." Yeremov was a peacemaker.

"Actually, she, uh, it's not impossible to choose Amy Adams, we can change the hostess ......" Zack Schneider finally mustered up the courage to jump out.

Everyone looked at him with the eyes of a villain.

He bowed his head and shrank back.

The meeting ended in an unhappy atmosphere," said APLUS. As she left, Anne Fletcher caught up, "Talk alone?" ”

"Okay." Song Ya picked a place with her, "If you still want to persuade my heroine to ......"

"No, uh, it's ...... too"

Anne Fletcher's hands squeezed together, "Actually, I can too, don't you think?" ”

"You?"

"Yes, me." She boldly met her gaze: "I don't think it's a problem to play a college student, I'm not yet thirty years old." ”

"Well, that's not ...... I mean......" Song Ya's gaze swept over her shoehorn chin, speechless for a moment, is the attraction of the heroine of the movie really that great?

"Hehe, just kidding, I actually want to talk to you about dance style." Anne Fletcher laughed and waved her hand, bringing the awkward atmosphere over.
