Chapter 417: Harvey's Red Sofa Theory
Dancing out of my life is basically a play made by people, without any hot scenes of action movies, and there is no need for computer special effects, except for dance and some music performances, which are crowded parties, schools, and theater scenes at every turn, and the salary of the cast and crew must be the biggest expense of the play.
And dancers are a job that is easy to get injured, and if you break your leg or something during filming, you will have trouble, so so many people's insurance expenses must not be less.
Anyway, three million is absolutely unstoppable, and Amperin Entertainment's offer is completely insincere.
I called Catherine, and the other party responded that it would be said next month, which is not perfunctory, after all, Schindler's list shooting is in the final sprint, and Jurassic Park is about to be released. But Song Ya didn't want to wait, so he took advantage of the weekend to go to Los Angeles.
"So you don't approve of Catherine's bid, do you?"
In another mansion in Malibu Beach, David Geffen on vacation was approached by him, "This year has been very critical for Amperin Entertainment, and it's understandable that they don't want to take any risks." For the Seven, which are now in a delicate situation and their production capacity has been greatly weakened, the box office guarantees that Spielberg's production resources can be converted into real money to whoever they give, and I think this offer is very fair......
David Geffen himself explicitly refused to cooperate, but he is still helping Spielberger's business, "You raise the budget by another two million, or lower the multiplayer scene, and this thing can be implemented smoothly." You know, a pop star who wants to squeeze into the film industry is the best target for Hollywood. So the key point is that even if your film fails at the box office, the quality must be above the standard, otherwise you will lose money and be constantly chased and abused and ridiculed by them. ”
Today, the Hollywood tycoon is a little sad for some reason, and it seems that he doesn't see himself as a member of Hollywood anymore, and his position is back to the record industry.
Song Ya knew that what he said was not unreasonable, dancing that my life must not be like Mira's return to the blue coral reef, some of the shots were filmed with that kind of TV series-like rough texture, and when the time comes, it will definitely attract a group of attacks, and any strange words will be invented, Mira just can't bear this pressure......
Thinking too much, he shook his head and put his distractions aside, "I'll think about it again, Mr. Geffen, uh, I'll probably talk to a few more companies." ”
"It's okay, it's all business, you go and do what you have to do, in fact, I still recommend that you shoot a small production first to practice your hands."
David Geffen expressed understanding.
"David Geffen? Hehe, what does he know! Don't listen to him. ”
Leaving Malibu, he went to visit Harvey Weinstein, one of Miramax's bosses, who attracted a lot of criticism after defecting to Disney, mostly from small and medium-sized filmmakers and film critics who are optimistic about the development of independent films.
Harvey Weinstein, who sold some of the shares and was worth a lot, didn't care, the forty-year-old white man had a typically strong personality, full of energy, a loud voice, very sharp in rude words, and the flesh on his chin shook when he laughed.
The money is not as good as David Geffen, but it does not affect his contempt for David Geffen in the slightest, "This GAY is whimsical, do you really think that the Donkey Party will do that kind of problem involving the same sex in the military for him?" Two days ago, Arkansas directly expressed its attitude and objected! Ha ha! He doesn't dare to fire now, you saw him in the morning, right? Is he going to be angry? ”
"Are you alright? But I remember that the reason why he threw money to support the Arkansas campaign was that the agreement between them was that question, right? ”
Song Yaxin said that it was no wonder that David Geffen was in a bad mood.
"The promise of politicians, hum, people are now in charge, will they really offend the majority of conservative voters for the demands of a few Hollywood GAY?"
He was patted on the shoulder affectionately by Harvey, "I know you supported Gore, and we are the boys of the gang." ”
Gore is against the same sex, that's why this guy says we're in this group.
"The personality is straightforward, and it seems to be good?"
After meeting and talking, Song Ya became more and more fond of him, but he didn't want to talk too much about political issues, so he moved the topic to the project of Dancing My Life.
"Let's jointly set up the project first, and then make a budget and start shooting! Release! ”
He's got it all.
"Uh, wait a minute, what do you mean by the joint project?" Song Yacai was not stupid, and quickly discovered the problem in this sentence.
"It's a joint project, the script comes first, and then we work together to make a shooting and distribution plan." Harvey replied: "Be quick, there is a good schedule for Valentine's Day next year, and we can't afford to waste time from now on!" ”
"Uh, hehe, I'm going to have classes in the second half of the year."
I was almost fooled by this guy, didn't I become the meat on the board after the script went into the movie project? Song Ya hurriedly shirked it, and Harvey knocked on the budget again, but he couldn't, so he had to play Tai Chi with him.
"Your studio was just acquired, what's going on now?" He asked.
"What does it matter, the people are still my people, and the company is still my company." Harvey still doesn't give up, "It's a wise decision to get into the film industry, boy, I started this company when I was a few years older than you, do you know what my motivation is?" ”
"What is it?"
"Sleeping Girl Star." He said it with a big grin, unashamedly shameless, "Hollywood's red sofa, have you ever heard of it?" ”
"Twenties and thirties?"
Song Ya knew that the auditions of Hollywood actors in the early days were very non-standardized, and putting a red sofa at the audition meant that the actor had to dedicate his body to get the role, and if he was willing to accept the hint, he would take the initiative to sit on it, otherwise don't complain if he loses the role.
In fact, Hollywood is the same now, but it is not so obvious, bosses, producers or directors, casting directors and even middle managers of the crew who have the power to assign roles are well versed in this, whoever has strong control over the crew will pick the best, and they will be ranked down in order of status, and even some low-level dramas can also get a piece of the pie by recommending group performances, all by ability.
"Haha, yes, you can't pick a girl's eye, Fergie......"
He shook his palm flat and made a gesture that didn't look good, "Girls in the record industry are not as beautiful as Hollywood, follow me and make sure you get the best." ”
"Well, I'm not interested in that kind of thing, Mr. Weinstein." Song Ya shirked.
"Hahaha!" Harvey Weinstein laughed, "It's not just about satisfying yourself, it's actually about making a dedication to the movie, and you're going to love it." ”
Also dedicated? Shameless, right? "How?" Song Ya asked.
"What kind of girl do you think can be popular? The prettiest? No, no, no, it's the most in line with the audience's eyes, it's a very wonderful thing, it keeps changing with the times, and it has almost nothing to do with what acting skills are. ”
Harvey said: "There are too many beautiful girls, and there are also many beautiful girls with good acting skills, if we don't have our checks that are consistent with the audience's aesthetics, guess what will happen?" ”
"What's the situation?"
"The forty-five-year-old actress is still playing the eighteen-year-old heroine, relying on the constant hype of politically correct social activists, the ugly girl from an acting family, and the celebrity who comes to play tickets from a wealthy family, for sure! It's going to be all that kind of people! The resources of these people are not comparable to those ordinary girls who can really move the world, and the door of Hollywood will be closed to them forever. ”
Harvey said, "Would you let these people sit on the red couch?" No! Would that kind of person be willing to sit on your red couch? Nor will it! So without us, Hollywood would not dedicate so many youthful and beautiful faces to the audience! At that time, those poor viewers had to stare at a bunch of aunts in the cinema and had no choice. ”
"Well, it's not us, it's people like you." Song Ya skimmed out.
"Come on, join us, you pick and choose the best one in Hollywood first, and then you will choose the best one, it must be the most beautiful, the most sultry, the most exciting for the audience, and the most box office ......"
This guy is simply the devil, and what is the matter with the Red Sofa Theory being said to be extremely reasonable and essential? Song Ya felt that he would be brainwashed if she continued to talk, "Forget it, let's talk about the project." ”
