"APLUS, please express your opinion on Mr. Jovovich's commercial fraud case?"

As expected, the reporter came quickly, and Song Ya was blocked outside the campus. He glanced roughly and found that many of them were not very cooperative, so he hurried forward.

"Or talk about Lowry Jr.'s case, are you optimistic about his appeal?"

"Get out of the way, please get out of the way..." Old Mike and others surrounded him, pushing away the stalking reporters.

"Do you still have contact with Miss Mira? Do you know her whereabouts?"

"APLUS, tell me something! I got the news from an anonymous employee of a New York radio station. He said that in the private chat between the interviews, you once angrily called Mira's father a liar. Are you an insider? You told him How much do you know about your business?"

"Did Mira ever borrow money from you? Or did his father ever borrow money from you?"

The private police from the University of Chicago rushed over to help, "I have nothing to say, I don't know the situation, and Mr. Jovovich's case is still in the process of trial, so I can't express any opinions, sorry." Song Ya dropped the sentence Words, hurriedly get rid of entanglement.

Mira went to France and followed his mother and agent. According to the latest report, her father's accomplices were extradited from the Netherlands to the United States in March, and her father, Mr. Jovovich, was banned from leaving the country at the same time. His Argentinian lover also ran back to South America at that time.

So now how much fraudulent proceeds these related figures have taken away has become the most concerned matter of the American media, and Mira has naturally become the cusp again.

"A Hollywood tabloid said that when Mila was shopping on Rodeo Avenue near Beverly Hills in February, all her credit cards had been frozen, and she was able to get away with the help of a socialite friend who paid the bill. She paid the bills for a winter vacation to the Bahamas..."

Between classes, Halle Berry called to gossip, "There is also news that Mila actually stole a friend's credit card, rather than the other party volunteering to help."

"Whether it's true or not, it's embarrassing." Song Ya knew Mira's character, and this kind of news was more likely to crush her than the media attacks after the last box office fiasco.

"Yes." Harry asked, "Will you lend a hand?"

According to the New York police briefing on the case, her father was involved in a medical fraud case in the 1990s. Because of his own song, de Klerk made Mira popular, and he only managed to transfer the debt by relying on Mira’s income after she became popular. There is nothing wrong with it. Then he and his European accomplices relied on Mira's social circle to hype up their Maozi background, absorb investment, use the money of new investors to make huge profits for old investors, and lure more investors into the pit, until the accomplice was arrested by the Dutch police at the beginning of the year After confessing, the United States suddenly realized.

"No, she has already left the United States, and maybe she still has a sum of money from her father. It is not up to others to sympathize. Besides, it has nothing to do with me." Song Ya said: "I have a bad feeling, if I I don't know her, and she hasn't made a lot of money in 90 years, maybe his father's case will be exposed early, which will be a good thing for her. But now..."

Now it is hard to say whether Mira can set foot on the land of the United States again. The angry cheaters in New York and Hollywood began to make various arrangements for her. However, her private jet and Upper East Side house have all been frozen now, and it must be difficult to save, and the situation is even worse than in the 1990s.

"Haha, anyway, there are rumors about you circulating in Hollywood now. They say that you are a really shrewd guy who has seen through Mira's father's disguise long ago." Harry laughed.

"It's not that exaggerated. If that guy hadn't looked down on me from the beginning, maybe I would have been cheated out of millions by him." Song Ya knew her character, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

"By the way, Apple has just risen to two dollars a dollar, shouldn't it be thrown away?" Halle chatted about stocks again.

"Hold Harley for a long time, don't always put your mind on this.

The rise in Apple's stock price is the industry's early response to its upcoming Newton PDA this month, which shows that everyone is very optimistic about this new concept of electronic products. "

In order to avoid harassment, Song Ya had to say a few more words to her, "I just leave the stocks there after I buy them, just look at the statements sent by the stock broker regularly."

"Okay, okay, I believe in you." Harley happily hung up the phone after getting a good return on the two million investment.

The few cases outside have something to do with him, but they don’t need to pay too much attention. The investigators of the Mira’s father’s fraud case made a special visit after hearing the rumors. Song Ya cooperated very well and did not hide everything he knew. Send the other party away, and then continue to focus on studies and planning my life.

"According to our agreement with Amblin Entertainment, their producers are already in place, and a list of director candidates has been drawn up immediately." Yeremov sent back news from Hollywood.

"I saw it, and I didn't like it very much."

The producer of Amblin Entertainment recruited young potential directors from Hollywood, and most of them have a background in the TV industry, that is, the kind who have directed one or two episodes of long-form TV series, or won some TV series by recording short films. The small award, on the one hand, is due to budget constraints, and on the other hand, it shows that Amblin Entertainment regards its own production fee as experimental funds for the selection of new directors.

"Why?" Yeremov asked.

"With this kind of director, I might as well use Zach, the director and producer selected by Amblin Entertainment. They risk marginalizing me."

Apocalypse clearly has a whole movie, Song Ya doesn't want to be led off the original track by a young and energetic strange director, just make one who has basic qualities and is obedient enough.

Amblin Entertainment enjoys a quarter of the production income of this film, and they did pay 3 million, but 2 million of the 3 million is for DTS to expand the number of theaters, in fact, it will be spent if you don’t make a movie, Of course, it wouldn't just be Spielberg and his two families spending money. In fact, only one million dollars was invested in the filming.

Moreover, they packaged that quarter of the box office production income into a financial product and sold it to external investors. If Jurassic Park's box office explodes, there must be no shortage of investors who take money to enter the market, so this Three million means that they don't have to pay for it themselves.

That’s not to mention, those external investors can’t really share a quarter of the box office’s production revenue. They conspired with A+ Studio and Universal Pictures to use a series of clever financial methods to hide many future possibilities. book profit. They show no mercy to foolish investors. These people are doomed to fail to obtain investment returns from the very beginning. Only for those investors who enter the market through big insurance companies familiar with Hollywood rules, they will slightly restrain their gray means one time.

This kind of investment promotion can even continue after the film is released. Any income from video tapes and peripheral income can be recovered by similar means.

Song Ya, who had experienced all this at close range, had to be more careful. With nine million real money, he didn't expect to be reduced to a laughing stock, so he not only asked Samuel to enter the audit on behalf of Yongdao, but also took the initiative to buy the insurance company's Complete the guarantee, use high capital costs to ensure that Amblin Entertainment, which undertakes the task of producing the film, will not do anything wrong, or find excuses to ask for an increase in investment midway.

Of course, he also followed suit, and began to take out three-quarters of the production income he enjoyed to fool external investors. It's a pity that for the same movie and the same type of production income, his appeal is far less than Spielberg's gold-lettered signature, and he doesn't dare to use financial means too much like Amblin Entertainment. In Hollywood, if you want to "pit" people, you must have skills. At least you can't be like the producers of Xiao Lizi's two films in 1991. Just make a project and leave immediately, right? I am a singer, and I can't escape the temple if I run away from the monk, and I have to worry about public influence.

"Zack can't do it, his qualifications are too low, and Catherine will definitely not agree." Yeremov said: "You have to understand that this project does not belong to our family now, and you must be ready to compromise with the other party on various matters, otherwise It will affect the progress, lose-lose."

"You know I'm very controlling, Yeremov." Song Ya replied.

"Then what should we do? You only know so many directors, Gary Gray is even less likely." Yeremov replied: "Old Larry's qualifications can convince Catherine, but he hasn't made a movie for more than ten years, and his body is not good enough." Well, and his early works are not outstanding. How about I find some old connections?"

"Old Larry?"

Song Yazhen didn't put this person in the consideration list. He ignored Yeremov's proposal to find an old relationship, "It's not bad if you think about it carefully? He and I have cooperated very well a few times."

"The tacit understanding you mean is that old Larry hardly refute your proposal?" Yeremov broke it down bluntly, "Dancing My Life is not a MV, it is a movie that requires the close cooperation of tens or hundreds of professionals .”

"Ask old Larry first if he is willing. I think he is the only one. There is nothing to worry about. It is in my best interest to use him. I must realize my own ideas in this movie."

Song Ya thought about it. Old Larry is really good, at least he has qualifications in the industry, can help him suppress the producer of Amblin Entertainment, and can control the crew, at least there have been no problems in the previous cooperation. "I wrote the script, starred in it, produced it, and wrote the entire soundtrack, and then I might not be able to control the crew during the actual shooting? That's totally unacceptable to me."

"I'm going to ask?"

"Go and ask."

"Let me tell you something up front. This is a movie with an investment of 12 million. When I ask, old Larry will definitely agree. Few directors with that kind of experience can resist this temptation." Yeremo Huo Fu understands the mentality of those fringe directors very well, "Even if his health is not good, he will probably rush to Chicago to find you."

"Let him come."

Song Ya said: "Just let Zach be the assistant director to assist him. When Catherine comes back, I will have a showdown with her. She should not resist too much. You should also contact the Shankman Dance Company for choreography. Remember, if Shang Kerman also charged me a high price, it's the same as last time, I only want Anne Fletcher."

"Wow, this combination... plus my executive producer, you can completely say the same thing in the crew." Yeremov hung up the phone.
