Chapter 1165 The Cold Mountain Road Is Impassable

ldounta (Cold Mountain, Cold Mountain), Song Ya's apocalypse fragments assembled such a movie, similar to the classic "Gone with the Wind", it is also described and told from the southern perspective of the Civil War period. Stories, love, and war stories, Cold Mountain's emotional portrayal is more delicate.

Like Xuelin Fen's favorite, the 1958 book written by Jack Kerouac (Dharma Wanderer), Leng Shan also copied a line of Han Shan's poem "A Man Asks Han Shan Dao" on the title page , "Hanshan Road is Impassable", and they all try to pursue an oriental "Zen" in the minds of Americans in their words.

The leading actors in the play are all familiar faces, and the male lead is Jude Law, the male lead of the current popular TV series "The Pretender".

The heroine is Nicole Kidman, the Australian wife of Liangtang.

The second female lead, Renee Zellweger, who worked with Liangtang in "Mr. Sweetheart" the year before last.

The third female, at the age of 13, became famous with the heroine of Luc Besson's "That Killer Is Not So Cold", and Natalie Portman, whose status soared last year with the heroine of "Star Wars Prequel Part One".

Indeed, as Yeremov said, this cast and good war scenes are definitely not cheap.

And it seems that there are some imprints of Liangtang, and the director's style... I can't see it with my own ability, but it will definitely not be the more "familiar" Spielberg anyway.

The shooting time, judging from the age of the leading actor, should be about five to ten years away from now. Song Ya mainly judged from the change of Natalie Portman's appearance. Natalie Portman, who is only sixteen or seventeen years old, is still very young , Youth is invincible, but Leng Shanli looks to be at least twenty.

Jude Law's appearance is also more mature, and Renee Zellweger's appearance has also dropped a lot, but it may be deliberately acting ugly for the role.

Australian blonde big white girl Nicole Kidman has an exposure scene. Song Ya noticed that her face, especially the apple muscle area, was too plump and smooth, and unnaturally stiff, as if it was filled with something .

Nicole Kidman is only one year younger than Xue Linfen, and she is also thirty-one, so five to ten years later...

Alas, it is indeed the age that needs the help of cutting-edge technology to support the appearance.

"Sloan, have you got in touch with Daniel's people?"

However, it is inconvenient for me to write a script based on the apocalypse for this movie from a southern perspective, because the south supported slavery at the time, and Leng Shan, like Gone with the Wind, showed many plots of the northern army burning, killing and looting in the south. Yes? Although the Northern Army was more 'progressive' at that time, it was very cruel and fierce to the enemy in the Civil War, and even the military discipline may be worse than that of the South.

The a+ film studio is not suitable for the main production tasks? It is better to have a co-producer to attract firepower? Then Song Ya is too lazy to care too much? At most, it will be the same as a cat and mouse game, hold the final editing rights and finally press the apocalypse Just wield the big scissors, leave the rest to Yeremov and Xue Linfen? It's time to let them play their subjective initiative.

I mainly focus on the main record business? And solving the new troubles of the American music website.

"Contacted."

Sloan sighed over the phone after being told the possible bad news.

"My fault, I really shouldn't have asked Bronfman Jr. to buy the Latin TV station? Now it's all right? Maybe the market value of the light io will be lost? Maybe a TV station will fall."

"What did Daniel's people say?"

"It's inconvenient to talk about this on the phone? I'll find you in Chicago."

"You're flying around like this... so tiring."

"I can only hold on."

He just hung up the phone? Shakira walked in with her lips pouted with displeasure? "Why is Xue Linfen here?"

"Oh, I want to see the kids."

Song Ya replied.

This sentence made Shakira not easy to get angry. She threw the shopping bag on the sofa, came and sat on his lap, sniffing everywhere like a puppy.

"Huh? Are you jealous?"

Song Ya is very magnanimous? He didn’t do anything to Xue Linfen? Although Xue Linfen has met her eyes? Hearing herself say “she likes Hanshan poetry” has completely fallen and surrendered. Ken.

Song Ya felt that she would do whatever she asked for without hesitation? But she still held back.

"No, your personal lawyer is taking a group photo for them."

"oh?"

Song Ya carried her on her shoulders and walked out. She laughed, kicked her legs, struggled, cursed and cursed in English and Spanish, and finally got rid of it.

"Okay, another one..."

Song Zecheng smiled and took pictures of Robb, Jon and little Arianne in the hall. Robb didn't understand and was holding his half-sister Arianne who was only a few months old.

Xue Linfen hid aside with a smile, "hey." She took the initiative to greet Shakira with a very friendly attitude.

"Hello." Shakira had a complicated expression, "The media will talk nonsense, don't forget what you signed with me!" But she turned her head and protested to the man in a low voice.

"Don't worry, the media won't report it."

It’s great, it’s getting more and more harmonious. Song Ya answered casually confidently, and went to take pictures with her children. It’s a pity that Xue Linfen didn’t bring little Sansa here. If she added little Rega from her ex-wife, it would be perfect... …

There will be a chance in the future, he thought happily.

"I……"

After Song Ya finished filming the love between father and son, Xue Linfen hesitated and approached to ask. She didn't know what to ask. Now she just waited for the order. Maybe it would be easier, she thought.

"Cold Mountain was one of the best-selling novels in the United States in the past two years. You should go back to Los Angeles as soon as possible to cooperate with Yeremov to buy the film adaptation rights. Maybe the adaptation rights for this level of bestsellers have already been sold." Song Ya thought for a while , looked at Shakira again and replied: "Robb and Jon will stay with me for a few days? I want to spend time with them."

"Um."

Xue Linfen obediently agreed, "Then I'm leaving, Shakira, goodbye. Mom will be away for a few days..." Then she went to coax the child and say goodbye.

"She seems to have changed." Shakira thought of Xue Linfen who "occupied" Highland Park last year, and she still looked like a hostess who refused to give up her seat.

"It's not because of you, little goblin." Song Ya naturally couldn't explain, "Mistress, go and get to know Little Robb and Little Jon?"

"Um."

She also obediently went over to please her two sons, hugged and kissed, and even offered to buy toys. Song Ya looked on happily and looked a little jerky, but it was not a big problem.

"It's kind of tricky."

Ms. Sloan arrived at night, "The situation is probably like this..."

Currently, copyright infringements are common on the Internet, which is based on the concept of freedom and sharing. Publications and music are the hardest hit areas. Due to the speed limit of the Internet, film and television fields are not bad.

And even in the record industry, the scale of online piracy is not enough in front of physical CDs and cassettes. Beimi is not bad, because it has suppressed the spread of VCD format, and pirated VCD discs in Asia have eroded movies, TV, etc. The income also gave birth to a huge VCD player market.

Of course, the format dispute is not the point. With the launch of DVD, Beimi will no longer go back to using VCD. Now the two parties of interest, the six major record companies and the new Internet giants, have conflicts.

Organizations such as the Big Six and the riaa have already promoted Bronfman Jr. as a leader in this area, if Universal Music successfully acquires Polygram this year and replaces Sony Columbia as the world's largest record company, Bronfman Jr. will be able to establish his The absolute right to speak in anti-piracy.

Even now, it's easy for him to ask Riaa or Naras to issue a notice of 'Prohibition of Advertising on Infringing Websites'.

The list of the first wave of bans are all relatively rampant small websites, many of which were set up by individuals. Those who want to take advantage of the tide of the Internet to go public and collect money, it is not good to carry the infringement lawsuits that may follow.

So soon, they issued a conscious rectification response and removed all infringing music, only keeping the songs that independent musicians voluntarily shared. The consequence of this was that the number of user visits plummeted instantly.

This has brought about a huge negative collateral effect on American Music, because although investors pretend not to know, it is obvious that if the 3 website follows the practice, the number of visits to American Music will also drop significantly. This is a very big negative for the Internet sector that only looks at market share and clicks, and does not rely on revenue and profits to tell stories.

That's why Sloan said that the purchase of Latin TV station was unsuccessful, and Littman Media itself fell down a TV station.

She also felt that there was a causal relationship between the two events, because Universal suddenly took the lead in promoting the ban, and other large music communities with similar ethos had already gone public. point in time.

A typical case of stealing chickens without losing money, a typical case of unreasonable disasters.

"How will Daniel help us solve the problem?" Song Ya asked.

Since Daniel made the price, there should be a way to delay the ban until April io. The former life mentor has always been able to come up with unexpected and slanted methods.

"His middleman refused to say, but I guess he should rely on the influence of other Internet companies, because the ban on advertising is not harmful in the short term, but it means that the Big Six are already trying to break through the legal gray area on the Internet, Start to take action on users' sharing behavior. If it proves feasible, there will be a series of copyright lawsuits waiting for publications, pictures, designs, etc. "

Sloan’s analysis: “The Internet industry cannot afford to be successfully encircled and suppressed by copyright in traditional industries, and now it’s our turn to form a group.”

"Damn it, even then I'd be in an embarrassing situation because I'm a singer, a record company owner, and a fucking label owned by Universal!"

Song Ya certainly can't sit back and watch Litman Media's valuation drop a TV station, "Then what is Daniel's offer?"

"It's nothing more than asking for money... As the former president who was hired by Sony Columbia Records, he is in an embarrassing situation in riaa. The copyright dispute committee has no energy to deal with the lawsuits between the six majors, and the infringement of media such as physical cds has been cracking down on the six majors. Do, for example, cooperate with the local government to confiscate and crush pirated discs and other activities, and Internet infringement is a new problem, which happened to be caught up by him.”

Sloan said: "If the copyright struggle between the Big Six and the Internet intensifies, then his idle position as chairman will suddenly become extremely important. He is not one of the Big Six's own people. Except for EMI, he has some old friends, and the relationship with all parties is not good. Well, the Sixth National Congress will never allow him to participate in such a crucial legal battle. He may be replaced before the end of his term in the next term. So he has to look for opportunities while still in his seat to make some money..."

"so……"

"So he wants to merge his record label with your Metropolitan Records, of course, after things happen and he leaves, pick a less high-profile opportunity." Sloan said.

"He thinks beautifully."

Not to mention that Metropolitan Records has actually hidden the "Apocalypse Singers" that I have collected. The future is limitless, and it is now, jazzy and foxy

o They are all singers who have sold platinum albums, the top figures in the New York hip-hop circle, and Destiny's Child has also made their mark. Even if the R&B and hip-hop girl group has a tendency to decline under the competition of teenage pop styles, that is not the case. Daniel rounded up a bunch of unknown street rockers who had broken record labels to compare.

merge? Then I would rather lose a TV station!

"It doesn't work." Song Ya shook her head resolutely, "I can find a way to give him a sum of money."

"Daniel is not very old, he will not be willing to be lonely after leaving riaa, and he is not too short of money." Sloan said.

"Well, anyway, now that I'm on the same line with him again, let's start negotiating the price first."
