Sure enough, the elder Larry flew directly to Chicago after learning the news, and in order to increase the success rate of getting the director's position, he also pulled his friend, the well-known experimental filmmaker Steinbrak Haven, and the two worked closely together in the sixties and seventies, both studying under Joseph Cornell, the pioneer of American surrealism.

Compared to Larry Sr., who changed faculty early and single-handedly founded the film department at the San Francisco School of the Arts, Stanbrak Haven is still in the experimental film scene, and he and Jonas Mercas, the godfather of avant-garde cinema in Manhattan, and others founded the Anthology Film in Manhattan's East Village Archives)', which show many avant-garde films every year, the experimental films, which are mostly only about 10 minutes long, are crudely produced but have a new style and approach, and whose themes are so bold that they are often criticized by the mainstream cultural circles, and many film industry talents have since made their mark. The archive also houses paintings, photographs, videography, and installations by many artists, including Andy Warhol.

Directors with this kind of qualifications have few opportunities in Hollywood, which follows the surging tide of Hollywood, and it is even more difficult to take charge of the director of tens of millions of productions, like the previous director Graham who returned to the blue reef of Mira, is also a lot of age, and the only opportunity was not grasped, so he had to go back and continue to make his low-budget TV movies.

Two 60-year-old artists deigned to visit their 19-year-old self, and some of the things he had prepared were too embarrassed to say, of course, he was inclined to cooperate with each other.

"We've had a great time working together, Larry, those MVs."

Anyway, they wanted to cooperate, Song Ya simply didn't talk deeply, stretched out his hand first, and expressed his attitude very happily, "I don't have any opinion on this, you can rest assured." However, you and Mr. Brackhaven must have inquired before they came, and in Hollywood, the film was helped and guided by Amperin Entertainment, so I must also take their opinions into account. ”

"We'll talk to Catherine and her husband." Stanbrakhead shook his hand, "So, it's you who makes the final decision, right?" ”

"Yes, Catherine won't have time until Jurassic Park is released."

Song Ya does not deny that all his decisions have met with almost no resistance from Catherine, "As a singer who broke into Hollywood for the first time, at this point in time, everyone respects my money, and almost no one will say no to me." He laughed self-deprecatingly, "But when the movie is released, it will be a completely different scene, and you must know this very well." ”

"I know, Golden Raspberry Award or something." Brackhey glanced at Old Larry.

Hollywood and American film critics have never hesitated to ridicule and ridicule singers from various angles, and even Whitney Houston, who has achieved great success in both directions of film music by relying on bodyguards, still has many people focusing on her acting skills. If I fail in my life, Larry Sr., as a director, will inevitably be trampled on by public opinion, and the good reputation built up over the years of academic career may also be ruined.

Old Larry had already made up his mind, the opportunity was rare, and the moth was about to fight the fire, and he smiled and raised the script he had just gotten in his hand, "Then we will work together to make this not happen." ”

"Of course."

The two shook hands together, "I will form a team as soon as possible and help you complete the storyboard script." ”

"Uh, I'd like to bring a few students into the crew, like before." Larry Sr. said.

"Well, I'll negotiate with Catherine about the payment." Song Ya also readily agreed, old Larry has limited energy, and his students actually share a lot of directing work, which was the case during the previous MV shooting.

Sending the two old men away, Yeremov, who had been silent, said worriedly: "You have to be mentally prepared boss, shooting the MV is just an errand for old Larry to make ends meet, so he won't have any artistic pursuits, whatever you say, he nods, because it doesn't matter at all." Movies are completely different, they are the best carriers to realize their personal artistic concepts and skills, and tens of millions of dollars are given to him to create, and he may not be as obedient as before. He made his name through collage films, an art style full of storyless symbolism, surrealism, religious mysticism that is very different from today's commercial films. ”

"That's all there is to it, for me, he's the best choice."

Song Ya replied. Another advantage of choosing Larry Sr. is the fluorescent agent case in New York, he and his students were the parties during the filming of the I Gotta Feeling MV, and it shouldn't be difficult to get a student to volunteer to go to court to testify for him, "You go talk to Zack Snyder, keep his assistant director's pay a little lower, but don't go too far, I need my own people in the director team." ”

"I guess Zach is willing to do it without money." Yeremov shrugged, "You are more thoughtful than I am. He pointed to the Newton PDA in Song Ya's hand, "You've been playing for a day, do you feel anything?" ”

"It doesn't work."

Song Ya pouted, Apple's first new personal digital assistant (PDA) product model is H1000, straight board shape, there is a good looking black and white LCD screen, with a tall stylus, the configuration is ARM company's 20MHz processor, 4MB ROM, 640KB RAM, and four AAA (No. 7) batteries are exactly half a kilogram after being installed.

This thing has not been distributed in large quantities, and the small number of products on the market has basically been swept away by fanatical fans and friends, and the one in his hand is sent by Jeffrey Hawkins of Palm.

Song Ya tried for a day, calendar, notepad, phone book, calculator and other basic functions are not bad, but this handwriting input is difficult to use, word input is often inaccurate, even if it is inexplicably stuck, after restarting, Fei Lao's nose is half of the things that are written are gone, which affects the mood very much.

And you can't make phone calls......

That's it, Jeffrey Hawkins still has a very impressed attitude, and he even said in discouragement that his similar hardware products in August could not be beaten at all, and if he wants to catch up with the gap in a short time, he may have to add money.

But fuck it, that guy will change tricks and ask for money, and Song Ya refused.

The problem now is that Apple's stock price rose sharply before it came out, and the real physical product plummeted immediately as soon as it was listed, indicating that the market knows that most ordinary potential consumers have the same experience as themselves, and they are not easy to use and are not optimistic, which is exactly the opposite of the view of people like Jeffrey Hawkins who understand how to make electronic products.

And Palm's similar products can't even beat this, so how difficult is that to use......

He remembered the phone in I Gotta Feeling with a beautiful color screen that he could use to make phone calls, and knew that he was still far from it.

Apple's stock price has plummeted, and Palm's products can't even beat the things that caused the stock price to plummet, so are my two investments pitted by the apocalypse again?

“APLUS！ What's going on today? Apple keeps falling! ”

As expected, Hallie's call for life came again, "It's a nine!" Yes! Another 50 meters drop! A piece of eight cents two! I lost money!! ”

"Do you live on the exchange? ...... also quote me in real time," Song Ya moved the earpiece away and complained, "No movie?" Didn't go to the audition? ”

"I'm looking at a friend's Bloomberg terminal! Again...... It's down again! Oh no! A piece of eight is under ......" she wailed: "APLUS, what should I do......"

"It's just a technical adjustment, don't panic."

Song Ya comforted her, rolled her eyes and hung up the phone, thought about it and called O'Grady again, "Apple is falling, I guess it's far from the bottom." The other party maintained the suggestion to get rid of it.

"Apple's computer notebook, will there be a new generation?" Song Ya asked, in addition to this, I Gotta Feeling and Dance Out have also appeared in Apple notebooks in my life, and the big logo on the back will not be wrong. Apple has so many product lines, and a PDA is just a little frustrated, so what's there to panic about.

"Yes, they're going to launch a PowerBook version based on Motorola's new generation processors next year, and it's said to be very powerful, so you have to continue to trust them?" O'Grady replied.

"Well, keep holding it."

Song Ya made a decision.
