Latest website: It was late, Song Ya had declined an interview with Vanity Fair magazine before. There were many photo reporters in front of the cold dining table not far from the door. Celebrities could eat and drink and take photos, but he did not stop.

"We will create new trailer short films and posters for the Cat and Mouse Game, put the award for the Oscar Best Adapted Screenplay Award, and add the Chicago Film Critics Association Awards that we won before, the effect will be very good and can help the global box office."

The executive president of Bowei Film raised the champagne in his hand, "Some countries that have not yet been released are taking this opportunity to start painting. Some countries that have not had a good box office will try to restart the screening, and Beimi will also expand the theater chain... In short, congratulations to aplus, Linton, and wish us success."

“Wish us success.”

Song Ya, Linton, Yelemov smiled and raised his glass to echo. The cat and mouse game finally achieved results during the awards season. Although the Best Adapted Screenplay Award is not as powerful as the Best Director or the Best Film and other big prizes, it is not bad. At least it can be promoted as an Oscar-winning film. Otherwise, what are you trying so hard to do?

“Wish us success.”

Amy and Jared Leto, as well as other cast members who gathered here, everyone laughed and clinked their glasses together.

Only John Malkovic did not come. He said he wanted to go home to rest. He would go with the Golden Ball and the Oscar again this awards season. He was not in the mood.

"Anyway, that's it, you guys can do it and enjoy the party."

As the most important distribution company under Disney, the executive president of Bowei Pictures has many social engagements next, and he left after a few explanations.

The cat and mouse game crew then scattered. After all, it was a project that had been completed long ago. Everyone needs to take this opportunity to make a good start for the future, a new job, or a romantic encounter tonight.

"Where is Harvey?"

Song Ya asked Linton that one thing he always wanted to figure out was whether Harvey Weinstein really made efforts in the award he won. At present, it seems that the Oscar judges voted for the Cat and Mouse Game because of Johnny Carson.

"It should be in a room in a nearby hotel. At this time, he will only be found by Mirasovino."

Linton also had the same doubt, "Harvey can't tell the truth. He is a master who uses the advantages of information asymmetry to exchange for benefits. If we want to fully understand what he has done for us within the School of Film Arts and Sciences, maybe he will ask us for rewards for the reward."

"Ha! That fat man."

Song Ya smiled and focused on dealing with the lobster colored fan whom Amy was holding.

"Mr. Linton, aplus..."

The original author, the legendary liar Abagner, was late, "Beautiful Miss Adams." He kissed Amy's back of his hand gentlemanly, "Is it convenient to chat? Only the three of us."

"Okay, wait."

Amy smiled and waited for Song Ya to finish her voraciously, "Mr. Linton, Mr. Abagnell." She left obediently.

"Go there?" Abagnell signaled.

"Okay." Linton and Song Ya looked at each other and walked with him to a slightly remote corner.

Song Yachai is for the sequel to the cat and mouse game, which is Abagner's new 'Theft Art' film and television adaptation project. Sure enough, Abagner said mysteriously: "I just talked to someone here, and the price of the adaptation right is four million."

Four million is the top price for such transactions, no, maybe it can set a new record for non-top homes.

Abagnell is far inferior to Stephen King and Tom Clancy who often appear on the best-selling list. And even writers of that level rarely sell their adaptation rights at this price. After all, it costs four million to buy adaptation rights. How much does it cost to match them?

Or scripts are very replicable, and Hollywood followers are popular. Film companies have found a few professional screenwriters to change the story of big-selling films, retaining the basic outlines and advantages, and carefully revising them, you basically don’t have to worry about being accused. Therefore, the overall salary of screenwriters is the most difficult to increase in various industries in Hollywood.

"Four million is beyond our psychological price."

Linton shook his head. When Hollywood Studios, a home that retains the legacy of a large studio and has a heavy burden, he has always been very sensitive to cost control. He had to consider half of the original plan of Cat and Mouse Games, that is, only five million, how could he spend four million to buy the movie adaptation rights? Even if he shares it with A+ movie studio again, it would be 2 million, which would still exceed his bottom line.

“Where are you?”

Song Ya also shook her head.

Abagneryu refused to give up, "I heard that Jared Leto is willing to bear some, too."

"He is not a good soup, and he is not qualified to bring the qualifications to the group." Linton continued to shake his head.

"There is no exception. When Aplus first played the first part of my life..." It is necessary for a guy who can be called a legendary liar to pester it.

"I almost paid most of the money at that time, but the share was bad."

Song Ya followed Linton to shake her head. Although there was no apocalypse in the sequel to the Cat and Mouse Game, she felt that it would not be too much money to shoot a sequel while Jared Leto was popular. At least Yelemov was happy to see him, and he was incompetent.

But in Hollywood, Linton is the senior executive of the film company with the best personal relationship with him, so he must be consistent with the outside world.

"Just four million? I won't add it anymore, I still tend to cooperate with the original team." Abagnell continued to lobby.

Linton began to show obvious impatience.

"No, Mr. Abagner, you know, this price is not something that Mr. Linton cannot afford, nor does he dislike your new..."

Song Ya shared his worries and pulled Abagnell's arm to take him away, "But from his perspective, buying your adaptation rights at the highest price will become Hollywood news. It is worth making a profit, but if you miss it... From the perspective of a senior manager, this kind of thing is really thankless, and I don't care."

"Okay, I understand, then...ah! What a pity, we could have continued to succeed."

Abagnell sighed, "Then I'll say goodbye and keep in touch?"

"OK."

"By the way, if there is no sequel to the Cat and Mouse Game, after that movie exits the theater, you must be careful of some troubles from the crew. This is my last advice, free of charge." Abagner left.

"What does he mean when he said the troubles inside the crew?" Song Ya turned around and asked Linton.

"Don't worry about what a liar said, then everyone in the crew will have a new job by then. It's just that some information is revealed in the media, so there won't be any big trouble."

It’s not that Linton doesn’t want to shoot a sequel, but Abagnell’s offer is too high and too difficult to deal with. Now he completely loses the possibility of cooperation. He feels resentful, “I guess the buyer he calls is Tom Hanks. Today there is another Mel Gibson who is good at acting and director, and he gains fame and fortune. It is impossible for him not to envy him.”

"Isn't the miracle that he can't stop being filmed?"

Song Yacai remembered that there was a Charis in South Africa. If she hadn't given birth to her baby, she should be the second female student in Tom Hanks' crew...

I'll call her later, but I haven't cared about it.

"Who knows, no matter who he is, it has nothing to do with us anyway."

The two started talking about their next collaboration again. Song Ya also had a football stunner in the apocalypse movie, preparing to wait for Charis to come back after giving birth to a baby to become the heroine. But if you want to use that movie to earn points for the 98 World Cup theme song, you may be better off working with Columbia Pictures. After all, fifa's long-term partner is Sony Columbia Records.

Besides, Song Ya is not easy to play hawks without seeing a rabbit. If Disney, where Hollywood Pictures is located, cannot satisfy her box office share this time in the cat and mouse game, there is no need to cooperate again in the future.

"He's here."

Linton saw Harvey who had just appeared in the crowd.

"Congratulations, Miss Sorvino."

The new best supporting actress Mirasovino is indeed inseparable from him. Song Ya and Linton congratulate each other, and then they congratulate their best adapted script awards, and they all talked about the cliché.

"Go over there, be good."

Harvey grabbed Mirasovino's waist with both hands, pulled her directly from the left to the right, and then patted her on the butt in front of the two of them, sending her away.

From this habitual movement, Song Ya can see that he is domineering, disrespectful, and has a strong desire to control women.

Of course, Mirasovino doesn't care about these things at all now. He turned around and gave her a charming look and went to socialize with others obediently.

"Stop talking, Linton, I know what you and Aplus want to figure out."

Once again, he proved his ability to win the prize at the Oscars. Harvey was in a good mood. He interrupted Song Ya and Linton's inquiry, "You can definitely trust me. I am also an investor in Cat and Mouse Games, and have done a lot for this movie. In the awards season, what else do you have to be dissatisfied with? Well? Aplus, you seem to be the first African-American Oscar and Grammy winner now, right? It's all up to me."

"I just want to learn more from you." Song Ya smiled.

"Just take the award-winning process of your Best Adapted Screenplay Awards to give an example, I'll choose what I can say."

Harvey said while eating and drinking: "First of all, what are the difficulties we face in winning the prize?"

"Uh, what? I think... it should be that the opponent is too strong, right? The heroine and screenwriter of reason and emotion Emma Thompson is a talented woman highly praised by the English Academy. The best adapted script is a good consolation prize for the crew of reason and emotion. After all, they are nominated for eight times this year..."

Song Ya humbly accepted the trick, "When I saw her friend Anthony Hopkins on stage to present the awards, I thought I would definitely have no chance."

"No, okay, from a certain point of view, it's definitely, but that's not important after my series of operations. It's Johnny Carson! Do you think that old thing is loved by the Oscar judges? No, his big mouth has offended Hollywood several times in thirty years. Last year, his beloved disciple Carl Letterman was still sleepwalking when he was hosting the awards ceremony..."

"So the most important thing about the award-winning strategy is to change the agenda and shift the judges' attention from Emma Thompson to Johnny Carson," Harvey said.

"But you just said that Johnny Carson is not popular..." Song Ya said.

"But his historical status is there, and as long as he comes, the judges cannot ignore it. The importance of that opening tribute is there. Who do you think did it? It's me. Who do you think it was spreading the news of Johnny Carson's nomination to most judges early, and it's me."

"So my main job is to transfer the judges' judgment on the quality of scripts based on the agenda setting theory of mass communication to the primary issue that they pay more attention to, that is, whether to award Johnny Carson this award."

Harvey replied: "Will they think in their hearts whether to let the old guy be praised for the opening and then return home miserably? Or show his demeanor and let him go once. After all, this may be the last important award for Johnny Carson in his life. If he chooses him, at least he will not buzz like a fly and let him retire with honor."

"Then, who is Emma Thompson? Who are the other three candidates? What is the quality of the adapted script? People's attention will be completely displaced without knowing it. We humans always tend to be in elections... The Oscar awards process is also a five-choice election process. Receive and memorize the simplest information and do simple multiple-choice questions. The simpler the better. This is nature. The judges are also humans. Who has so much energy to read the five adapted scripts? Are you not voting based on a rough impression?"

"So... if you give Johnny Carson the prize, or don't give it, you'll have this simple multiple-choice question left. Is it right? The chance of winning one-fifth quietly becoming one-half, and with our respective public relations activities, this probability is actually greater than one-half. Of course, I don't have the ability to completely manipulate all judges, but I can win through clever public relations activities. At least the chance of winning is a lot, and the chance of winning is three times higher than that of traditional public relations methods!"

"Haha, you are the one who can win the awards with this trick?" Linton asked with a smile.

"Of course it's not just. I have many tricks. Learn slowly! By the way, remember to repay me when I look back."
