Chapter 1184: The fragility of goodness(1/2)
Independent production is not difficult. In the past, some low-cost black films were independently produced by A+ film studios. Now in Hollywood, most film companies are really bag-like. Studios, locations, etc. can be rented, equipment provided, special effects, etc. to professional companies. The cast and crew sign film contracts according to the project, with little risk and quick capital flow. There are very few people like Hollywood Pictures that still retain the legacy of a large studio.
Then there is a snake walking on the snake walking on the road and going all over the country and even abroad to attract investment and tax reduction policies and cultural subsidies for the film industry. This industry that is pollution-free, can provide high-end employment and promotes local tourism and other businesses has great support. Some people in Hollywood are good at killing "stupid German money", some people master the resources of Britain, France and other countries, and some people go to the lower cost. Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand, which are both English-speaking countries, have no cultural barriers, and then get the local government's subsidies and tax refunds first. There are fewer and fewer crews who really stay in local traditional studios in Los Angeles to start construction.
The same is true for the Girl Next Door Project. The start date is summer, and I happened to go to Song Ya's old nest to shoot. The governor will divide some Illinois counterpart subsidies and tax refund shares.
"In addition, Li Zi's pay is not high, the cost can be suppressed to a very low level, and independent production is more convenient to do accounting, perfect."
Due to the foresight of the Apocalypse, Song Ya's Hollywood affairs, the project of the next door girl who had a little Lizi's head in hand was progressing rapidly. After a careful chat with Yelemov in the car, he thought the prospect was beautiful. DreamWorks was unwilling to issue it was definitely their own loss. "Where is Lengshan? What's the progress?" He asked about another project.
"Not yet."
Yelemov replied: "Grove Publishing House, the parent company of Atlantic Monthly, rejecting Universal Pictures is only temporary. Whether it is a cooperation with Ms. Sloan's literary website or Lengshan's adaptation rights, they have not made the final decision. Daniel believes that they probably want to observe the effect of another Southern-view film from Universal Pictures."
"Yes." Song Ya nodded and pondered.
"Universal Pictures still has advantages. During the filming of the Chinese director Ang Lee's co-ride with the Devil, the props and the scenes can be seamlessly turned to film Lengshan. President Ron Meyer is also very sincere. But Atlantic and Charles Fraser have doubts about the heroine who co-rides with the Devil, verbial DIVA Zhuer, you know that singers who have no acting experience will directly play the protagonist of such a big production drama, and the outcome will generally not be good."
Yelemov added.
"Then wait. Both you and Daniel need to be patient, and let Shirelin participate more and show up more."
If someone fights, you can wait for a price. Now, whether it is the Atlantic Monthly, Charles Fraser or Grove Press, you must know it well.
"Judy Foster wants to see you."
Yelemov received a call and reported.
"She? Is there anything wrong with me?" Song Ya asked.
"Her Egg Pictures is under Polygie Pictures. Now, because Polygie is about to be sold as a whole, the Anna and Kings project, which is entrusted with her great efforts, was suddenly stopped halfway. Now the world is looking for someone to take over." Yelemov replied: "And she may also intend to compete for the heroine of Lengshan."
"Egg Pictures..."
Song Ya is always amused by the name of the Oscar double-star actress, but Judy Foster is old and has a lace edge and is too short, and is incomparable to Nicole Kidman, the heroine of the Lengshan Apocalypse original film. "I don't have time... wait, did you mention Polygon Pictures just now?"
"Yes, Polykin's film distribution company."
"Then talk, uh..." His schedule was very nervous, "Call her to Xuelin."
“OK.”
The car stopped in front of the San Marino mansion in Selinfin, "Halley!?" Song Ya was surprised to see Halle Berry lying by the swimming pool for some reason with Selinfin lying beside the swimming pool basking in the sun. Two bikini beauties, one black and one white, shining in the sun.
He looked back at Yelemov, and the other party smiled and said nothing.
The arrangement was made? It was very considerate. I swallowed my saliva and rushed over there. Hum? No, three, and there was an uninvited guest. Quincy Jones's lover Natasha Kinsky was lying beside Xuelinfen, and he didn't see it at first glance.
"Natasha brought Little Kenya to Robb to play, she just arrived."
———
It would be embarrassing to have an outsider here. Song Ya suddenly braked, Xue Linfen took off her sunglasses and shook her eyes to explain.
"Hi, APLUS." Natasha Kinsky's back was clean, and European women would not bring too much burden to sunbathe.
"Hello."
The scenery is picturesque, and it is really pleasing to the eye. Song Ya almost scratched her scalp today, so she had to stand there and say nothing to say, "Halley, isn't the bragging customer you starred in about to be released?"
"May fifteenth." Halle replied.
Then there will be less than a month left, "What do you think will be the result of opening a painting?" Song Ya asked.
"I don't know, Warren Beatty is arrogant, but the movie itself should be interesting."
Halle commented, pointing at her short dreadlocks all over her head, "Did I see anything in this image in the play?"
“Emmmm…”
The hybrid black pearl is really a miracle of age-freezing. This look is no different from the jungle hotness she played Spike Li Jiu for one year. It seems that seven years have passed without any existence on her. It is too amazing. Her face still has a tomboyish look that she has not grown up. "In other words, in Warren Beatty's stereotype, are you still the actor who is similar to the image template in jungle hotness?" Song Ya turned her brain to analyze.
"The answer is, the black girl who is mixed up on the street."
Halle complained, “To be honest, this role makes me feel like I’ve been standing still for seven years in Hollywood.”
"Don't say that Harley, you know that Xuelin and I envy you very much." Natasha Kinsky interjected.
"What a pity, I thought Warrenbeatty would take you to the award."
With Warren Beatty's status in Hollywood, he wrote, directed and acted by himself at the age of 60, undoubtedly for the awards.
"I thought at first, but he didn't care about my acting skills over the past seven years. He only needed a stereotyped image of a black girl on the street."
Harley changed her lying position lazily, and her perfect figure without any fat was visible under the three-point swimsuit. "I really regret it, I voluntarily cut my salary..."
"No wonder you said he was arrogant. Forget it, please do me a favor when you go back and play the female lead in the award-winning film. There are not many scenes, but it should be more room for performance than Warren Beatina." Song Ya thought for a while and decided to give her the role of the heroine of the Miracle, that is, the wife of the hero.
"Help? How do you calculate the pay??" Harley sat up with a sharp voice.
"Of course it's the friendship price."
No, I can't help it anymore. Color is empty, and I can't see it. "I'll go see the children, and Judy Foster will come later." Song Ya threw down her words and hid in the house.
Robb was running wildly with Kenya Jones at home, and little Jon chased his brother like a follower, "Do you have any skills in writing?" Song Ya pulled her trousers to grab the two sons.
'I can't understand it, I really admit that I can't understand it. In just two months, YAHOO's stock price doubled! As of today's Nasdaq closing, its market value was 32.3 billion yuan?'
They played well with their son for a long time. At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when Song Ya was holding Little Sansa to the hall, Judy Foster and her girlfriend had arrived. The two and Yelemov were arguing fiercely about something. Xuelinfen, Harley and Natasha Kinsky had also changed into formal clothes. Xuelinfen and Natasha Kinsky curled up on the sofa like a best friend and read a book together, while Harley controlled the remote control and stared at the financial news seriously.
The appearance of Shilinfen and Natasha Kinsky is still top-notch, so there is no need to mention Harley. Judy Foster has a double-profile halo bonus, just her girlfriend is a little bit short. The five of them are in the hall, with different expressions and very vivid, and the scene is as beautiful as an old oil painting.
The stock market analysts on the TV held their heads and showed incredible expressions, 'This unprofitable Internet company has surpassed a large number of multinational giants for a century. I admit that my previous analysis was wrong. My colleagues and I have been saying since last year that this is impossible, this is impossible, and the bubble will burst sooner or later... But reality is so ironic, we are slapped in the face again and again!'
"Are you still sticking to your opinion now?" asked the reporter.
"I won't comment anymore, I won't comment on this stock anymore."
"I heard that many famous short sellers have suffered heavy losses in the past two months."
"There are also many people who have made a fortune. For example, if the founder of YAHOO, if the minority shareholder APLUS still owns the legendary 3.8%, then the value of this asset alone will exceed 1.2 billion...dollar!"
The lively hall suddenly became quiet, and the other women looked up at the TV.
That's it, the timing is right, the faint passive show-off is very perfect, "What's wrong? What are you talking about?" Song Ya made a gorgeous appearance with her eldest daughter in her arms.
Harley watched him sip, Judy Foster put down his feet that had been stomping on the coffee table, and Natasha Kinsky's eyes were also very bright, "Give it to me." Xue Linfen came over to pick up his daughter from his arms.
"Just crying a lot."
Song Ya handed little Sansa to her mother, "Welcome, Ms. Foster, this one is..." Although he had seen it before, he kind of couldn't remember Judy Foster's girlfriend's name.
"Sidney Bernard."
"Oh yes, hello."
Song Ya showed a calm and manly look and shook hands with the two women, "I heard Yelemov say..."
Judy Foster is in a difficult situation now. With the help of Polykin Pictures, her personal film company Egg Pictures has already launched the Anna and Kings project. Everything is ready and ready to go. She has just returned from checking the Southeast Asian location, but she didn't expect to be bolted from the blue when she turned back. The parent company Polykin suddenly stopped financially for the major project of Polykin Pictures because of the decision to sell. Anna and the Kings were instantly suspended. Her small company was in trouble, and the project could not continue, and there was a risk of bankruptcy.
"You A+ Movie Studios don't have many projects this year, right?" Judy Foster asked.
The two sides almost reached a cooperation in the darling project, but unfortunately they lost to the super double Oprah. It was a bit related. Judy Foster wanted to find money, and he was eager to come to the scene and seek medical treatment.
"On the contrary, we will be very busy this year." Yelemov did not like the Anna and the Kings project.
Song Ya knows his position. The historical background of Southeast Asia that the Americans are completely unfamiliar with and do not bother to understand, the love story of a yellow man and a white woman, and the 1950s before. Judy Foster's appearance is no longer the same as before... She is still very ambitious. She bought the adaptation rights and participated in the investment to play the heroine. The production cost of the entire drama will be very high.
"Don't Polygin Pictures give money? What's going on now?"
Without Apocalypse, Song Ya is still inclined to be conservative, and he is more interested in Polykin's recent situation.
"I don't know, it's a mess, they told me that the deal might be finalized in August, or even earlier."
Judy Foster complained.
"Oh? I haven't heard of it, and there is no news outside."
Song Ya raised her eyebrows and said that there was only Universal, and the progress of other potential acquirers was not so fast.
"What a senior executive revealed to me." The double-producer has his own way.
"Are there any other details?"
Philips seems to have ten thousand willing to take out Polykin, the faster the better. According to what Judy Foster found out, Polykin is also very satisfied with Global. When he saw it, the only difference is the price, and how to deal with the various supervision and external pressures of acquiring listed companies.
"Hey, you have no sincerity at all." Judy Foster quickly realized that Song Yayi was not with Anna and the King, "Don't inquire, I know you have conflicts with the Global. Now people in Hollywood have spread all over the world, if it weren't for the lack of help..."
"What contradiction? I only found out that someone spread pirated pirated songs on Ameriga Music website, and I asked them to delete them. But Litman Media didn't listen to me, and I couldn't blame me."
Song Ya and Sloan played the double act for this answer, and they were confident.
"hehe."
Judy Foster sneered that she had been in 1962 and had been in Hollywood for nearly 30 years, and this excuse could not deceive her.
"Okay, what is the funding gap between Anna and abroad?" Song Ya turned the topic back, at least she had to give her a clear attitude.
"Fifty million."
Judy Foster's answer made Yelemov laugh out loud on the spot, and the numbers also exceeded Song Ya's psychological bottom line, "So many?"
"Love, war, palace, the disparity between the king and the tutor and the heroine in the context of the great era, cultural conflict... the end of the tragedy."
Judy Foster's girlfriend replied: "Does it look like another Titanic?"
