The party was held at the Beverly Hills mansion of Guber, one of the co-chairmen of Columbia Pictures. Sony paid $200 million in advance to acquire their companies in order to poach him and Peters, the other co-chairman.

However, a well-known producer and senior manager changed hands and caused Sony to be saddled with a lawsuit against Warner Bros., with compensation of nearly one billion dollars.

In addition to the $3.4 billion that Sony paid to acquire Columbia Pictures and the $1.6 billion in debt it assumed, Benzi has spent a lot of money on this film company. And that's not all. The two are causing trouble within the company.

, there is no problem with their ability, and the market share of the new company has been rising. However, after many movies are sold, the money does not go into the pockets of Columbia Pictures, but flows into many surrounding companies with their background.

It was rumored that Sony, who had a taste for sex, was willing to be bled again in 1995 in order to let these two guys go. It was so tragic.

Of course, these had nothing to do with Song Ya. He sneakily poked his head out from the door of a bathroom in the mansion that had a sign under maintenance, "There's no one around, you can leave first."

Mira, whose face was flushed, pecked his cheek, and then walked away quickly on her high heels.

He took off the maintenance sign and threw it into the cleaning cart not far away before Shi Shiran went out to meet Taraji outside the corridor.

"This is all like a dream." Taraji, dressed in a smart red evening dress, held a wine glass and whispered excitedly: "Not long ago, I was a dancer on a banquet cruise, and now I am in Beverly Hills, attending a Hollywood event.

Top party.”

"Let's just think of this as a dream. This place doesn't belong to us yet." Song Ya smiled: "Hollywood is a place that can destroy people's aspirations."

"Hey, it seems like I'm the older one here, so I should be the one to say this to you!" Taraji bumped him with her shoulder.

"Drink less, Taraji." Song Ya also took a glass of champagne from the tray held by the passing waiter, "Where is the person I can talk to?"

He didn't know most of the people at the party.

"Yeremov is in the lobby on the first floor, director Graham is at eight o'clock, and Brian Krause is on the balcony." Taraji completed her task well, "As for Miss Jovovich, I

I think you won’t be able to find her in a short time, right?”

Taraji has no shortage of black girls who can make dirty jokes casually.

"You underestimate me too much."

Song Ya smiled and went to the first floor to find Yeremov.

"The early ticket sales haven't been calculated yet." Yeremov was chatting with a beautiful brown-haired woman. Song Ya was hesitating whether to go over, but he saw it first, "APLUS, come here, let me introduce it to you.

The name is Xuelinfen, Xuelin, APLUS, have you heard of his songs?"

"Of course." Xue Linfen shook hands with Song Ya gracefully, "I really like the song Empire State of Mind by you and Mariah Carey."

"Thank you, me too..." Song Ya almost said that she really liked your movie "The Love of the Moon", but luckily she responded quickly, "I really liked your performance in Twin Peaks."

The three of them chatted for a while and said, "Excuse me." Xue Linfen was greeted by others and left.

"What's wrong with her? She's a little listless." Song Ya looked at her graceful back and automatically imagined the full-body exposure scene in the moonlit romance. However, this woman looks older in reality than in the movie and TV series Twin Peaks.

, the hair color has also changed, otherwise Song Ya would not be able to recognize her at the first time.

"Twin Peaks is going to be cut down, poor boy," Yeremov replied.

"What? Isn't this TV series well-received?" This TV series directed by David Lynch is currently being broadcast all over the United States. Xuelin Fen has received Golden Globe and Emmy Award nominations, and was also selected as the world's best TV series by People magazine.

Among the fifty most beautiful women, a series of fashion magazines and clothing brands also began to favor her.

"Who knows, legend has it that she broke up with David Lynch because of her boyfriend." Yeremov shrugged.

Why did the director break up with the actress because of her boyfriend? Song Ya came up with another bloody plot. Xue Linfen's photographer boyfriend seemed to be unreliable. He actually helped his girlfriend with Playboy.

Of course, it might also be for the sake of art when a magazine shoots a full-body pictorial. Of course Song Ya has admired that pictorial, for the sake of art.

"After the affair, she was very embarrassed. Even though she took a break for the film for more than a year, everyone except David Lynch came to her just to get her to show something in the film. This is how Hollywood is.

Take off her clothes and bring it to the box office, so no one will pay attention to her acting skills anymore."

Yeremov said: "So I also fought for the opportunity for Mila to show less in this movie. You know, the contract her mother signed with our company was much larger."

"I know, thank you Yeremov." In this matter, Song Ya was sincerely grateful to him. Of course, if Mira didn't rely on her own efforts to make De Klerk famous in a short time, Yeremo would

My husband will definitely not change the original plan.

The next day, Song Ya left Los Angeles and continued her "Small" promotional schedule.

"The advance ticket sales haven't been calculated yet?"

In the evening, Song Ya looked at Taraji who walked into the hotel suite with a pile of newspapers and magazines and asked.

"I think it's not that they didn't calculate it, but that Columbia Pictures simply didn't dare to come up with it."

Taraji opened a magazine and said, "David Thomson of Film Review Magazine: Readers, a remake can be screwed up by director Graham. Even if he copies the old version from ten years ago, it will not be the same."

It would have been better than this boring piece of trash, and he should have had a disembowelment in the tradition of Columbia Pictures!"

"Hollywood Report: Although Columbia Pictures is secretive, according to our observation, this film's box office this week will rank outside the top ten of all released films. For its tens of millions of production costs, it will be a complete failure.

s failure."

"American Weekly: It is said that Return to the Blue Lagoon has already booked several Razzie awards for 1991. This news may not make the crew happy."

“The New Yorker’s Ken France: Sorry, The Blue Lagoon’s nasolabial folds on actor Brian Krause’s face made me laugh, but otherwise the film has no redeeming qualities. If not for that one bright spot

, having seen the premiere, I have decided not to talk about it anymore because it is not worth mentioning at all.”

"Uh...Okay, okay, stop reading."

Song Ya dialed Mira's phone, "Mrs. Jovovich? Where's Mira? Lock yourself in the room and cry? It's okay. The movie failed at the box office, but there weren't many attacks on her. It's just a small setback."

...Okay, please help me transfer it to the landline in her room. Uh...did she unplug the phone line? Okay, please try to persuade her, it's not a big deal, I'll call back later."

He dialed Yeremov's phone again. The line was busy, and the call was transferred to the answering machine. "Hey, this is APLUS, uh... I just wanted to ask about the box office situation of the movie. Please call back if you have any new information."

On August 5, the first weekend box office of Return to the Blue Lago was released, with a box office of $1.5 million. This result was achieved when it was released simultaneously in 1,280 theaters across the United States, which means that the box office of a single theater over the three weekends was only $1,000.

The film was only a fraction of the first-weekend performance of Boy on the Block when it was released in more than 800 theaters. Even now, Boy on the Block's weekend box office is still $4,000! Not to mention that the theaters showing Boy on the Block are generally close to black areas, and the purchasing power of black people is higher.

much lower.

It can only rank sixteenth among the nineteen movies released in mainstream theaters.

Mira's phone was finally dialed.

"Aren't you crying? It's time to face reality, my dear, maybe things will turn around." Song Ya comforted her.

"Um……"

Mira has indeed calmed down a lot, "Yeremov is working hard to save the box office, and I also call on fans to come in and watch."

"Is this necessary? Consuming the enthusiasm of your fans to contribute to the box office of a movie? You are just an actor and do not need to bear such a big responsibility. The salary you received at that time was far lower than your current worth." Song

Ya advised.

"Hmph! You don't know what the Hollywood tabloids write about me. I don't want to be looked down upon by them."

"It's the stupidest thing to get angry with tabloids..."
