Chapter 710: The situation of the 1995 summer vacation
"Nicole, Nicole, look here..."
“Aplus, here!”
At the entrance of the cinema, Song Ya held the Australian big white girl's back with her hands. The two kept adjusting the angles in front of the camera. After posing for half a minute, "Congratulations on the box office sales, Nicole, I'll go in first." Song Ya whispered with a smile.
"Thank you, aplus, thank you for coming."
Nicole Kidman was in a great mood, "See you inside."
"See inside."
The two hugged each other politely, and Song Ya turned around and walked into the theater. Batman Forever has been released for a week. Today is not the premiere and there is no arrangement for the red carpet. Nicole Kidman brought the crew to Chicago to promote the promotion. There will be a small meeting before the movie is released later, which are all routine operations of Hollywood promotion.
"Aplus, let's talk about you being attacked by eggs a few days ago..."
"Do you have anything to say about that girl?"
The reporters were not willing to let him go and asked in a verbal way.
"I'm just talking about movies today, sorry." He waved his hand with a smile and walked into the theater very casually.
"Aplus, chat?" Paikinsley was waiting for him inside, and took him to a small office in the theater.
"What's wrong?"
Song Ya guessed that the song "Feiji." She had promised her, "Feiji." Sure enough, the big agent of Caa didn't talk much and asked again, "She said that her second-level vocational school is almost done, and she just has one title song."
"Don't worry, I won't break my promise." After almost half of the 1995 years, Fei Ji should be anxious again. Now she already has a song that suits her, which is the sweet but psycho of the apocalypse that was caught and raped. Mariah Carey doesn't sing popular dance music now, so she can barely give Fei Ji, although she focuses on hip-hop style.
But from the perspective of the current era, the rhymes of that song are simple and crude, and the lyrics are too shallow, but...
It's enough to hand over the task to Fei Ji, what else can she want to do?
"Are you ready?" asked Paikinsley.
"You are always urging me, always urging me, and urging me whenever you have the chance..." Song Ya complained.
"Haha, isn't the agent doing this? My task was done well. I'm sorry, aplus, maybe my attitude is a little anxious."
After getting the correct words, Paikinsley was in a good mood, "I do have some improvement in the singer business, but we will cooperate well. By the way, I heard that Mrs. Song left William Morris and replaced her agent with Sandy Glenn? Is she interested in going to work with David Geffen on a contract? Or are you all going to cut with William Morris? If you also want to leave William Morris, I miss me..."
"I won't change agency, sorry, I will renew my contract with Donovan and Hayden next three years."
Song Ya directly raised her hand to refuse. She couldn't be able to be willful and she had to wipe her butt. The second three-year contract with William Morris expired next year. In order to appease Donovan and others, he rewarded William Morris for helping to get the New York Times. That was not an easy task. The next agency contract was still left with William Morris, and only reduced the joint agent to Donovan and Hayden, slightly reducing the share of the share. Anyway, with his current influence on Chicago politics, he did not need the service of the third joint agent.
"Is that so? Well, I respect your decision, although I am sorry."
Paikinsley was very sensible and didn't bother her anymore. Song Ya asked her about some recent news about the film industry.
"In the summer, May's brave heart made Mel Gibson so popular, and the red tide made director Anthony Scott turn over. From June to July, Nicole's eternal Batman must be invincible. From July to August, it's about the turn of Universal's future water world. These two movies are more than 100 million production costs..."
Paikinsley helped analyze, "That youth film by Amy Adams is scheduled to be released on July 7?"
"Yes, what do you think? Is the schedule OK?" Song Ya asked.
"I don't know the quality of that movie. After all, from director to actor, Amy is the most box office appeal."
Paikinsley said: "Of course, just like dancing my life, she definitely didn't go to the forefront of the weekly box office. It was the summer season, and it was a big seller in the middle. The budget for that movie was only more than 1,000, which seemed to be about 18 million. I heard that the publisher deliberately staggered the movie and the same youth campus film on July 19th. Two weeks are enough to eat, at least I won't lose money."
"I hope this is the case." Song Ya nodded.
"Have you ever talked to Amy?" asked Paikinsley.
Song Ya waved her hand, "No, I won't contact her anymore."
Paikinsley smiled. It was still early, and the two talked about the seven major film companies and the DreamWorks that were about to set sail. "Yang Tang was resentful of David Geffen because of her personal failure in the night visit to the vampire. Mr. Geffen also held a grudge against him later talking nonsense in public, but... it is always good for Hollywood to enter, at least for the actors."
"Yes, Jim Carrey became popular in three movies last year, and this year he entered a 20 million club." Song Ya agreed.
"Haha, 20 million club..." Paikinsley was very disdainful of this word.
"how?"
"The so-called 20 million club is the seven major concepts that have been hyped recently. They don't want to have super male stars like Nicholson or Qingtang who share too much box office, so they plan to promote this concept in the future. The highest level is 20 million. Don't think about anything else..."
According to Paikinsley, in order to lock in Liang Tang's film contract, Paramount signed a very favorable agreement with him in 1992 and did nothing every year. Liang Tang and his well-known agent and producer Paula Wagner jointly opened a CW Film Company with more than 10 million yuan and allowed him to participate in the production. Can the male stars who claim to be in the 20 million club really keep receiving film contracts that meet this value every year? So Liang Tang is almost unique in Hollywood. This contract has made countless male stars covet, such as the increasingly popular handsome young actor Brad wants to imitate Liang Tang and also open his own film company to get similar contracts.
But the Seven Major has changed. The bosses of the 20th Century Fox, Paramount and Universal have successively replaced Jewish bosses. The hot money of the notebook has been withdrawn, and Sony who stayed there no longer wants to spend a lot of money. The bargaining power of the actors will definitely be weakened. The so-called 20 million club is the concept that these new players have begun to promote, trying to set a salary limit for superstars, but using Jim Carrey to rise to the top of the position this time, it is just a good thing to promote bad things. Jim Carrey can always get high box office in low-cost films. If it were in previous years, it would be better for such stars with extremely high cost performance to get a better agreement like Nicholson or Soup.
"So that's what it is..."
Song Ya learned some more, "So Spielberg, Carsonberg, David Geffen and others are smart people. Now the notebook is out of money, but the IT industry has it! Microsoft's stock has been rising. According to this momentum, Bill Gates will be the world's richest man at the end of the year. Another founder, Paul Allen, leaked his fingers, and gave DreamWorks hundreds of millions..."
"Maybe, but people in the technology industry like Wall Street, and Hollywood has been out of the way with Wall Street, so... a new game is about to begin," said Paikinsley.
"Pi... aplus, we're going to start." At this time, Nicole Kidman leaned in and reminded.
"Okay, let's take your seat right away." Paikinsley nodded.
Chapter completed!
