Chapter 631

"Any more news from Hollywood?"

Before David Fincher gave a final answer, Song Ya accompanied Mariah Carey to her godmother Patti Labelle's villa in Beverly Hills to discuss the wedding next month.

It's so fast, there's only a little more than a month left, and I'm basically letting her do the work. Now that things are coming to an end, looking at the fiancée who is concentrating on studying the guest list with Patti Labelle, I feel guilty in my heart. up.

"Columbia Pictures' old partners, Guber and Peters, were fighting among themselves on the eve of leaving. After Guber succeeded in getting Peters out, he started negotiating with Sony. Sony would have to bleed if he wanted him to leave the contract. Last year What happened at the end of the year was exposed last month."

Yeremov had a lot of resentment towards his old club, and he said cheerfully in a sneering tone: "Sony agreed to his conditions and continued to inject capital into his newly opened Mandalay Entertainment Company, which is almost like sending people off on their knees. Let’s go. He has been in charge of Columbia Pictures for five years, and the outside world speculates that his personal assets have increased by five to ten times. In order to let the new helm have no worries, Sony just wrote off Columbia Pictures’ bad debts of $2.7 billion at the beginning of the year. "

"Tsk tsk, this book has been played so badly..." Song Ya clicked her tongue.

"Gubel has done this for the sake of senior managers, and he can only start his own company in the future. There is absolutely no one who dares to use it, but it is worth the vote. He has entered the ranks of the top rich people and started to prepare Buy a baseball team to manage and enjoy life, it just so happens that Major League Baseball is still suspended due to labor disputes, the team is cheaper, he seems to be planning to buy more."

Yeremov said.

"Who will be the new helm at Columbia Pictures?"

The two chatted while walking, and finally stopped on the lawn outside the villa. Song Ya asked, "Could it be Motura?"

"This book is still fighting with Schulhoff, the president of Sony Beimi. Motura himself is sure to be very willing. His Sony Entertainment president can manage Columbia Pictures in name, but in fact he has no real power in Hollywood. Of course, the possibility No big deal, I don’t trust Schulhoff and his people now, and Motura is as strong as Guber..."

Yeremov guessed: "They may even send Benzi's executives to airborne directly, or sell the company like Panasonic, although they are doing better than Panasonic in their old electronics industry, and they can still afford to pay."

"Why is Gu Beier so powerful?" Song Ya asked.

"He's been a well-known producer for a long time, making a lot of critically acclaimed and well-received films for Columbia Pictures in the seventies,

1.9 million production cost of Taxi Driver, starring Robert De Niro, 28 million at the box office, 28 million in the 1970s..."

Yeremov recalled, "After leaving Columbia Pictures, he independently produced such excellent films as Midnight Express, which cost 2.3 million dollars, grossed 35 million dollars, and won seven Oscar nominations. Oh, by the way, do you think Harvey Weinstein is an award-winning player? Wrong! Guber is the best, but Harvey Weinstein’s Miramax is not one of the top seven in Hollywood. It's too eye-catching, too 'normal'. Although Columbia Pictures has suffered heavy losses in the past five years, according to statistics, its films have received a total of 120 Oscar nominations, ranking first among the top seven."

"I see……"

Song Ya was taught another lesson.

Yeremov continued: "If he wasn't one of the top talents in Hollywood, how could Sony have cried and shouted that they would rather spend 200 million dollars to poach him and his company from Warner, and even pay for it? In a lawsuit of nearly one billion dollars."

"So, will Schulhoff leave this year?"

Song Ya became concerned about her own affairs. Although Schulhoff compromised when he chased Motura away, the old man should have a very bad impression of him.

"I don't know about that. He seems to have passed the test temporarily. Schulhoff belongs to Norio Ohga, the father of CD, within Sony. Call him an unlicensed practitioner, but Norio Ohga has just become the chairman and CEO of Sony head office, and the founders of Sony, Akio Morita and Ibuka, are both in poor health. Ohga is in power, and he might rather continue to lose money than lose money. Admitting that I have misjudged others, I lose face."

As a former rice traitor, Yeremov still knows the book very well, "You may not understand, boss, the office politics of the Orientals is different from that of the American side, and they are very particular about the allegiance of the top and bottom."

Emmmm...

Song Yanu pursed his mouth and did not refute.

"Honey, bye, I'm going to meet a friend."

At this time, Mariah Carey hurried out with her assistant.

"See... Who are you meeting? Aren't you taking me with you?" Song Ya asked blankly from her back.

"No, no, don't come." She didn't turn her head, "Eremov, you, come with me."

"It must be about the Xingmeng Tears project."

Yeremov helped explain, "I've been helping her stare at 20th Century Fox recently. Don't worry, boss, she will definitely be tricked, but as long as I'm here, Fox Pictures won't do too much." He took the opportunity Take credit.

"I know."

Hollywood is not polite to singers. In fact, I was cheated a little by Universal in the dance out of my life project. Otherwise, no matter how many layers of exploitation, the 12 million production cost sold more than 130 million at the box office. , it is by no means that the main producer only gets five million dollars in profits...

In fact, if you switch to the operating methods of the record industry, you can understand it. For example, Little Lowry’s commemorative album, A+ records have some seemingly reasonable and legal means to make the money earned not reflected in the final profit.

For singers, as long as the distributors don't go too far, they can accept it. After all, the distribution channels are in the hands of others, and the risks of singer projects are particularly high.

"Then I'll find something to do too?" Song Ya didn't want to stay alone at Patti Labelle's house.

"You can take the time to see Little Robb. Miss Kelly and I will start detailed negotiations with Fox Films today. It will take a long time."

Yeremov proposed before leaving.

"Uh, forget it, I won't go today."

Guilty, "I'll ask Hayden to take me to the crew of the sequel to Dance Out of My Life."

Song Ya and them left here, let the old Mike pick up Hayden, and under Linda's guidance, they drove all the way to a building in downtown Los Angeles.

Universal's Simberg is moving very quickly. The main creators of the sequel have already been confirmed. Now they are in the stage of dance rehearsal. The director Stephen Gyllenhaal, his wife is one of the producers, and his daughter Maggie Gyllenhaal did not get the starring role. The role of the girlfriend next to the heroine is probably similar to Taraji in the first film. The son is a bit handsome. The producers of Universal and Yeremov are worried that the hero Gosling will be robbed of the limelight, so they resolutely unite as one One of the happy families that went into battle was torn apart.

Of course, Anne Fletcher now has the absolute right to speak in the dance part. As the dance finger who danced the two big-selling movies of My Life and The Masked Man last summer, she has become very popular in Hollywood.

And her former boss Shankman refused to dance out of my life at the time, and became Don Juan's (naturally love-crazed) finger dancer. That movie started at about the same time as dance out of my life, but it hasn't been released yet. Johnny Depp and Faye Dunaway, the rumored couple who have never been in love for years, didn't have enough cooperation in the Arizona Dream project, so they went to that crew to continue their relationship. I don't know what his new girlfriend Kate Moss will think.

"1234, 5678, very good, let's do it again..."

Anne Fletcher was concentrating on practicing with Gosling, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Maggie Gyllenhaal and others. Song Ya and Hayden stood quietly at the door and observed.

I heard that when Disney chose the Mickey Mouse club, there were thousands of children competing for a position. The male protagonist Gosling was selected. He was naturally handsome and could dance, but his movements were a bit too regular, too 'Broadway' , At present, there is still a long way to go from the unrestrained expression of street dance.

MGM's children's company program is far less influential than the Mickey Mouse Club, but Jennifer Love Hewitt is indeed much prettier than Fergie, and it's no wonder that she can get resources that Fergie can't. Winning with freshness and nature, the first glance is okay, the more you look at it, the more comfortable it is, the more attractive it is, very youthful, very pure feeling, and the body is as thin as Amy, and she is favored by the president of Universal, she really has strength, no wonder Fergie was back then Jealous of her resources as hell.

The director's daughter, Maggie Gyllenhaal, looks a bit worse than her. No wonder Yeremov and the others let her play Jennifer Love Hewitt's best friend.

"Ahem, boss?"

Linda noticed that his eyes began to follow Jennifer Love Hewitt, and quickly reminded, "Hi, Annie."

Anne Fletcher had already spotted them, she put down her work and came over, "Long time no see, APLUS, Linda, are you here to visit?"

"I'm fine today, come and have a look." Song Ya said with a smile.

"Everyone come here!" Anne Fletcher called to stop the rehearsal, and called all the half-aged children who were born around 1980, "Let me introduce you."

"Hello, hi, hello... how is the rehearsal going?"

As a popular singer, Song Ya naturally enjoyed the treatment of crowding and screaming. He greeted the actors one by one with the style of an investor.

Jennifer Love Hewitt and Maggie Gyllenhaal performed the most decently. After all, they have a lot of resources and a good background, and they are no strangers to Hollywood.

Really, it's not good to decide on the role too early, and no one took the initiative to tickle my palm or something.

Song Ya thought to herself.

"Well……"

Everyone was unfamiliar with each other, and after greeting each other, they were a bit speechless, "Go on, I won't bother you anymore." Song Ya tilted his head towards Gosling, "You, come with me."
