Chapter 1442 Unite Around Me

"This is my first work as the chief producer, and it is also the debut work of my own production company. God knows how I tried my best during that time, making money everywhere and raising money to make it go smoothly. I especially Kudos to Kimberly and Billy Bob Thornton for taking a reduced pay, they are very good actors...”

Dennis Li, the black boss of the producer of Dance of the Dead, was stunned for a few days by the sudden attack by Song Ya and Spike Lee, but he was finally annoyed and chose to fight back: "They grasped the specific characters of the hero and heroine, and contributed an astonishing contribution. , a very impactful performance, really, to show the audience who they are: lonely, weak, flawed, needy, a kind heart that has been tested and tempered... APLUS's cliché of white men and black women is too much, He accuses the death row dance of not being 'correct' enough, saying that I have convert fanaticism? But in fact I want to say that his head has been imprisoned by the old concept of severe racial segregation, completely ignoring the understanding and understanding of American society for forty years progress……"

Lee Daniels started as a scout, and then worked as an artist agent, casting director, and producer. He has made a solid progress in Hollywood step by step. I am also gay. I am an important member of David Geffen and his gay fraternity. I know how to Using political correctness, the relevant remarks are tight.

With his career on the rise, he did not lose his brokerage business. His position was under the same brokerage company as Song Ya, William Morris. The signed artists in his hand included Terrence Howard, who had a good relationship with Song Ya, and former assistant Taraji. Waiting for black actors, in addition to having some white rookies who have appeared in DreamWorks movies.

Hollywood is very small. He has developed to a certain extent and now has a certain power, but he still has a disparity in status with Song Ya. Although he has not dealt with Song Ya in depth, there are many intersections between the two parties, and there is no enmity.

If it weren't for the sudden explosion of the film critics of The Dance of the Dead and the short time before the awards season, Song Ya should have chosen to communicate with him in advance to ensure that Halle won the actress while not intensifying the conflict between the two parties.

But it’s no longer possible. The September 11 incident caused a large number of movies to be postponed. In early October, Denzel Washington’s training day during the vacuum period unexpectedly won a box office of more than 70 million yuan. It was also very good, and then in early November, the first Harry Potter movie completely detonated the crowds of moviegoers as a sign, which indicated that the theaters in Beimi had returned to normal.

Today is the first day of the Christmas file on the 21st. In addition to Requiem for a Dream, A Beautiful Mind and Movie Life starring Jenny started painting at the same time. Other strong films include the first part of the fantasy masterpiece Lord of the Rings adapted from Tolkien From The Fellowship of the Ring to the star-studded Ocean's Eleven to Vanilla Sky, which led to the divorce of Soup and Nicole Kidman, the competition is fierce.

Movies with only black themes, in addition to the dance of the death row, there are also comedies Hi to Harvard, and also aiming at the awards season, boxing champion Ali starring Jamie Foxx and Will Smith.

Therefore, within black Hollywood, Will Smith of Muhammad Ali and Denzel Washington of Training Day compete for the Best Actor, and Kimberly of Dance of the Death Row and Harley of Requiem for a Dream compete for the best actress.

Since Requiem for a Dream only got the NC17 rating, the number of theaters is less, and the time for winning awards is tighter than that of Dance of Death Row, Song Ya must suppress Kimberly of Dance of Death Row as quickly as possible, even if there is an accidental injury up.

"Wait, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, HoHo..."

Spike Lee, who attended Muhammad Ali's red carpet, fought back against Lee Daniels,

"What does it mean that APLUS is imprisoned by the old concept of racial segregation? Lee Daniels, you can't represent our entire ethnic group. Anyone who forgets the past means betrayal!"

He raged in the interview area, and then went to help Song Ya lobby for black movie stars such as Will Smith and Jamie Foxx.

There is no conflict between Harley's competition for the best actress and Will Smith's competition for the best actor, but Jon Voight, an important supporting actor in Muhammad Ali's crew, who is expected to compete for the best supporting actor, is the father-in-law of Billy Bob Thornton. Leigh Bob Thornton married Jon Voight's daughter Angelina Jolie last year.

It is impossible for Muhammad Ali's crew to cause infighting at this time in order to compete for the prize. He is already the number one black movie star in Hollywood, and Will Smith has the kind of character that no one can offend when he says nice things carefully. Wang Ali's crew may team up with Dance of the Death Row to compete for the award, if Billy Bob Thornton is not shortlisted for the best actor competition." After chatting with the other party, he quickly called to report the latest situation.

"OK, I see."

Due to Muhammad Ali's historical status and life experience, that crew almost stood at the top of political correctness. Tonight, most of the black Hollywood practitioners went there to cheer. Even if they are as powerful as Song Ya, they can't treat death row prisoners Wu Wu stepped on it head-on, so he had to turn around, "Then we form an alliance with Denzel Washington!"

"How to say?"

The Requiem for a Dream has just finished its premiere on the red carpet, and Harry asked nervously after waiting for him to finish the phone call.

"The conversation between Spike Lee and Will Smith didn't go well, don't panic, anyway, we will proceed as planned."

Song Ya comforted her.

"I've already given Hayden the money..."

"Hush!"

In order to hit the actress, Halle also followed the example of Gwyneth Paltrow, the heroine of Shakespeare in Love, and paid for some of the extra public relations costs. I don’t know how much Gwyneth Paltrow’s parents spent back then. The rich woman Halle This time, she paid two million. Her current net worth is estimated to be no lower than that of the Paltrow family, but she has no connections with the Paltrow family, so she can only hand over the money to Hayden.

Song Ya stopped Harley from talking about this, and Jared Leto, the hero of Requiem for a Dream, is not far away. This year's resources will still not be invested in him. It is not good that he heard the conversation between the two, "Let's go in Bar."

"OK."

Jenny didn't come today either, she went to the premiere of A Beautiful Mind, her heroine role in the film life is just a vase, and the heroine of a Beautiful Mind has a much better chance of winning the prize.

There are too many movies starting today. Requiem for a Dream is too pessimistic and gloomy in tone and style. Before the screening, professional institutions judged that the box office would not be good, so the premiere was not held in order to save money, and a small number of theaters were prepared to maintain it. Staying on the long-term, the main energy is spent on the awards season, and then we will see how the awards are won and expand the screening theaters.

The scene was relatively deserted, and everyone took a group photo and socialized before entering the theater.

The screening hall was dark, and the movie started. It was a strong rhythm and magnificent soundtrack. According to the apocalypse, Song Ya added some synthetic sounds to the movie version on the basis of the symphony, making it more electronic music elements and more decadent.

If you don't know the plot outline in advance, the audience may think that this is an epic blockbuster just listening to the opening soundtrack. In fact, the opposite is true. There are no big scenes in the whole movie. The actors only talk about numbers. .

This is the reality. The author of the original documentary literature is very calm and objective in observing the group of drug and drug addiction. There is no miraculous self-rescue or dramatic inspirational story there, let alone Happy Ending, which can almost be used as anti-drug propaganda piece.

Whether it's Leto and Harley, the drug lovers, or Leto's drug partner, Leto's drug-dependent mother, everyone in the play is very powerless in their disgust and resistance to drugs, and their introspection and regret can only It exists in the very short period of time after the high, and then immediately falls into the rush to get the next smoking, in a vicious spiral.

In the movie, Harley and Leto are undoubtedly in love, but when there is no money to buy drugs, Harley offered to sell her body, and Leto agreed without much hesitation and distress. One goal: inhalation.

Leto was amputated in the end, his mother was shocked by electric shock, and Harley maintained the reservedness of a goddess when she met her so-called friend for the first time, but she couldn't bear it the second time and directly asked to 'borrow money'. It was another 'client', and in the end the money was still not enough to attract her. She was introduced to a game place where she played extremely excessively, as a pure plaything to satisfy the eccentricities of rich people.

Among all the actors, Harley personally sacrificed the most. The NC17 version that was released was edited, but the actual award and the DVD version were so fierce that the rating committee of the MPAA (American Motion Picture Association) did not want to give any rating.

At the end of the screening, the audience stood up and applauded. Song Ya looked at the excited Aronofsky. After watching it in the editing room, he was very sure that the original film of Apocalypse was directed by this person, because the whole film edited by the other party and The original film of Apocalypse is not much different.

Song Ya made very few changes. Except for reducing the role of the second female lead who dedicated her superb acting skills, namely Leto's mother played by Ellen Bostin, the rest is to change the girlfriend of the black second male lead to a white girl. Used to balance the need for political correctness.

"Congratulations, Harley." Girlfriend Amy also saw that she would fully support Harley this awards season. Harley's acting skills also conquered her, and hugged Harley with a little jealousy and congratulated her.

"thanks, thanks……"

Harley kept thanking friends and film critics who came to praise her, her tone became more and more choked, and she wiped her tears from time to time.

"Okay, okay, let's go home, Mira has prepared a party for everyone."

Song Ya smiled and hugged the waists of the two women, enlivening the atmosphere.

"Hmph!" Amy broke free, turned and ignored people.

"Christmas, it's a holiday, hehe..." Song Ya coaxed her again with a face.

"Taraji! Please!"

"I can only do my best..."

On the other hand, the premiere of boxing champion Ali also ended. Song Ya’s former assistant Taraji dealt with the agent Li Daniels who chased him out, and then drove home with her husband to pick up their son. Murphy's Beverly Hills mansion.

After leaving APLUS, she has developed smoothly in Hollywood. She was delayed in getting married and having children. This year she has started to star in movies, and her acting skills have also been widely recognized.

Although APLUS has made further progress after she left and became a real black pharaoh, she doesn't regret it much, and she prefers this peaceful and stable life now. Things around the Black Pharaoh are always too exciting, too colorful...

"Marce, be good."

After getting off the car, she took her son in one hand and her husband in the other, and walked into the magnificent banquet hall together, "Hi, APLUS."

"Ha! Taraji! Long time no see!" Song Ya welcomed her warmly after seeing her family of three, and picked her son up close for a while, "What's your name?"

"Marce."

"A good name." It couldn't be her own, Song Ya was relieved, Marce Jr. was very dark, and Taraji's husband was an authentic black man.

"Lee Daniels is my manager, uh..." Taraji had a task, and looked for an opportunity to speak.

"I know, wait for this. Charis! Over here!"

Song Ya put down little Marce, and warmly welcomed Charis, "They are inside, do you know how to get there?"

"Of course. Hi, Taraji."

Charis saw that Taraji, who had been involved in Little Jon's affairs back then and knew her secret, changed his face, but he quickly covered it up with superb acting skills, and greeted everyone warmly as if nothing happened.

Of course, Taraji would not expose it. She knew that it was best to keep her memory of being an assistant to the Black Pharaoh permanently sealed, and she did not even reveal it to her husband. She watched Charis chat with Old Mike who was guarding another exit of the banquet hall, and then walked into the depths of the mansion.

Song Ya could guess the purpose of Taraji's visit, and continued to be busy with entertainment, deliberately preventing her from saying her plea. As the guests attending other premieres arrived one after another, the party became more and more lively.

Harley is undoubtedly the social center of the night. She skillfully connects with the target person, is amused from time to time, hugs this old black judge, and puts her elbow on the shoulder of another Hollywood old white male boss. Burst the watch.

"Jenny! Kay!"

Jenny also came with her son Kai, hugged Song Ya politely in front of people, and then took a chance to get into the same entrance as Charis.

Taraji observed coldly, and felt that today was a bit unusual. The two top beauties, Charis and Jennifer Connelly, did not wear grand evening gowns that competed with each other today, but tacitly wore a slightly plain fashion on Hollywood actress .

Then in a blink of an eye, the black pharaoh himself also walked towards the old Mike, and she hurriedly led her son to chase after him, "Hey!" She took advantage of her relationship with the other party and pretended to complain in a black accent, "APLUS, don't you have time yet!? "

"Uh, you need to hurry up."

Song Ya kept walking, but asked Old Mike to let the mother and son in.

In a large room inside the mansion, a Christmas tree with a strong Christmas atmosphere and all kinds of beautiful gift boxes have been placed. Many children are running and playing in it, and Hayden with a camera hanging around his neck is watching with a smile.

"Jon! Kai! Don't run around!" Song Ya grabbed Jon and Kai casually, "Going to take a photo!"

group photo?

Taraji recognized Robb, and Robb, who was already a young boy, stood with a cold face of resistance, against his mother Xue Linfen who kept pushing away.

Song Ya stood under the Christmas tree and hugged his girlfriend Amy, who held their son Vegas in her arms.

Xue Linfen also brought together the children of Robb, Jon, Sansa, and Arya.

Then Mira, who had a big belly again, appeared, holding her daughter Darcy in her arms.

"Come closer, come closer." Hayden busily instructed the children to take pictures, and then pressed the shutter, and a beautiful group photo of the whole family was released.

Except for the real girlfriend Amy and the sensible Robb, the other adults and children surrounded the black pharaoh, smiling very brightly.

It's a big feudal family! Taraji saw it in her eyes and complained secretly, but it was not surprising. She had seen a similar scene in the house of Eddie Murphy, the original owner of this mansion. There are not many families like this in Hollywood, but it is definitely not rare. .

"Hi..."

Taraji walked up to Charis, who was watching this scene with her back against the wall, her eyes filled with tears. She knew that the other party was looking at Jon, but now Jon probably didn't know who his biological mother was, so he obediently held Xue Linfen hand.

"You... hello."

Charis sniffled a little choked up, and turned her face away.

Song Ya also noticed, "Charles, Jenny, let's take a photo together! And Kay! Hayden!" He called the other adults and children who came up again, "Taraji! Marce! Let's all take a group photo! "

Charis immediately went over, pretending to stand behind Jon unintentionally, and put her hands on his shoulders.

Taraji took his son by the hand and walked over with Hayden's wife and children.

"Merry Christmas!" Everyone shouted happily to the camera.

"APLUS, Lee Daniels asked me to ask you..." Taraji waited until the filming ended and still had no chance to speak, and the black pharaoh showed signs of going out and returning to the party scene, so he immediately chased after him and said.

"This year's Oscar Kimberly must withdraw from the competition, and no nominations are allowed, otherwise Halle's vote will be divided."

Song Ya, who had just enjoyed the family reunion, interrupted her with a smile: "If Lee Daniels agrees, maybe I can turn to support Billy Bob Thornton to compete for the best actor. I have nothing else to ask, and I have nothing to answer. You just need to pass on..."

"It's even more impossible for Lee Daniels to push Billy Bob Thornton, a white guy, APLUS, he bet his entire fortune on Death Row's Dance, he's not you, four million is all he has, and Death Row's Dance has no box office Well, I'm also counting on awards season..."

Taraji begged for his agent: "He will have nothing if this goes on."

"I may have done a little too much, but you go back and ask him to understand that this awards season is too important to Harley." Song Ya replied: "If he is willing to agree to my conditions, I will not let him have nothing, you know I What kind of person."

"I can't guarantee that the unity of the entire black community in Hollywood will be cracked if the trouble continues..."

"crack?"

Song Ya stopped and turned to look at Taraji, switched to a serious expression and said word by word: "Li Daniels is not worthy, tell him that the so-called unity means being united around me, and he has no other options!"
