At the end of the casting preparatory meeting, Song Ya left Anne Fletcher alone to communicate the dance style.
The small conflicts at the previous meeting made the creators of the crew recognize who was the one who was really talking. Anne Fletcher didn't express any dissatisfaction with his 'pointing fingers', and she also happily said that she and her own The idea fit perfectly.
Song Ya took this sentence as a compliment.
"Go to Los Angeles to hone your acting skills. Harley helped you find an acting teacher, right?"
In fact, casting conflicts are the most common conflicts in Hollywood. All powerful figures in the crew will try their best to stuff their own people into it. In a way, this is also the best example to prove the influence of their own crew, so the competition will continue. go down.
At the airport, Song Ya sent Amy Adams and Taraji to the plane. The two of them will stay in Halle in Los Angeles for a while. In addition to participating in auditions, they are practicing acting and dancing. An audition is also required, but he will release a new album in 1994, and he has no intention of turning his career focus to Hollywood, so he chooses to stay in Chicago to practice, and then fly over to the audition.
"Yes, we'll get the role, right?" Amy still couldn't show up in front of the media. Wearing big sunglasses, she wanted to take the initiative to hug her, but she moved and held back.
"Don't be nervous, why are you getting nervous now?" Song Ya smiled and explained to them, "There was me in the first two rounds, you go to the audition, it doesn't matter if you get rejected."
"Hollywood crews are a breeding ground for gossip, and your behavior will lead to more attacks."
Taraji slid over a tabloid with a small bean curd report with the headline: 'APLUS money enters Hollywood, young singers can do whatever they want! 'Then the following text is about how domineering he is in the crew of Dancing Out of My Life, and the examples are quite reliable, for example, he tosses the main creators of the crew, making them fly back and forth from Chicago, or casting cronyism and so on .
The money has indeed gone in. The newly established A+ movie studio only has a few staff members who have helped out from A+ Records. The one million dollars for the renovation of the theater equipment in the neighboring black area has already been paid to DTS, and the remaining eight million is also paid. It has been transferred to the account of the joint production company established by A+ Film Studio and Amblin Entertainment.
"It's okay, don't worry about that, I know it well, it won't cause me much pressure."
It's like lending money to others. When the money is still in your hands, the other party will naturally agree to what you ask, but when the money is actually lent out, the person who owes the money will be the uncle. Song Ya knows that the relationship with Amblin Entertainment and even Universal has undergone subtle changes, but he can only take one step at a time. He knows that he has a strong desire to control, but he is not someone who will not compromise.
"Hehe, would you look for a spare tire without me?" Taraji said exaggeratedly, twisting his body.
"you guess."
Song Ya glared at her, "Fix the role early, I still have a lot of things to do." Without this versatile little assistant, his workload has indeed increased a lot.
The three talked and laughed a little, "Goodbye." Amy and the others walked to the registration gate and waved back.
"goodbye!"
After sending them away, Song Ya also boarded the plane to New York to deal with her own affairs.
"APLUS, how is the court going today?" The fluorescer case was in court for the second time, and the reporters gathered around after coming out of the court.
"I still want to declare in advance: Bath fluorescent agent..."
"Non-toxic and harmless, A+ clothes do not contain poisonous substances." The reporters said it together with him in unison.
"I'll recite it, right? Very good." Song Ya laughed with them for a while, "And then? About the case." The reporter continued to ask.
"Uh... I can't reveal too many details, I can only say that the other party has sinister intentions, and the legal team is also very strong. I am the weak side in this case. Really, you also know that the so-called burden of public figures... "
Song Ya rubbed the center of her eyebrows,
Make a tired expression, "The next trial will be in August, and the film project I have cooperated with Mr. Spielberg has officially started. It will be very busy at that time, but I still have to come to New York to testify. I believe that I will be able to To win the final victory in this lawsuit."
"By the way, can you tell us anything about your new film project?"
A reporter asked: "Some colleagues in Hollywood said that you said you were right on set."
"Hey, brother, I paid most of the money." Song Ya smiled.
"So you think you can ignore the voices of the professionals right?" another reporter asked.
"Ah from VIBE Magazine?"
Song Ya didn't like this magazine controlled by Quincy Jones and Russell Simmons at all. She was such a low-key student in college, and she was still smeared by them making up stories from time to time, "I respect professionals very much, okay, I don't want to talk about this issue, just wait and see my movie when the time comes, by the way, the name is Dancing Out of My Life."
"Is it a musical?"
"Yes, my song, my dance."
It's that VIBE reporter again, "Are you challenging Janet Jackson's poetry-writing Justins in July?"
"My film won't be released until next year."
Janet Jackson's new album 'Ja' joined Viking Records is sweeping the entire Mi, and the single That'sTheWayLoveGoes has also dominated the B chart for several weeks, which not only proves that she was once the No. Madonna's 60 million and over), also proved that Virgin Records big money to sign her is fully worth it. The reporter from VIBE was provoking by asking this question, but Song Ya was completely immune to this level of provocation, "I like Jenny very much, whether it is her song or her upcoming new movie, I will also go there in July Look, also, we're not in competition."
"Then is it possible for you to cooperate?" A reporter intervened and asked.
"I don't know, everything is possible, who knows what will happen in the future." Song Ya shrugged, "But my main job now is to be a student, don't forget."
The interview was handled with ease, until a winking reporter asked Milla, "There are rumors that you and Miss Milla Jovovich are still in touch, is that true? You..."
"No." Song Ya immediately showed displeasure.
"Okay, that's the end of the interview. If you want to talk a little more in the future, don't ask questions that have nothing to do with my client." Hamlin stepped forward and stretched out one arm, and Old Mike and others escorted him into the car and drove away. and go.
"Will August be the last court?" He asked Hamlin worriedly, "Today the opponent is obviously more prepared, and I feel that you have not had the obvious upper hand like last time."
"No, the case will not be pronounced until at least early next year."
Hamlin sneered, "Just wait and see. Some of the plaintiffs will be unable to support themselves by August. Haven't you noticed that the number of family members present today is much less? If the verdict is unsatisfactory next year, we will continue to appeal. , if you are willing to spend money to procrastinate, the lawsuit will last until 1997. Believe me, the opposing lawyer will take the initiative to negotiate terms with us in August."
"well done."
Song Ya expressed satisfaction, and the group drove to the Proctor Grand Theater, where Mariah Carey's Here Is Mariah Carey's first tour in July was held.
But she won't come here early to rehearse. Song Ya came to see old Larry. He also took over the post of Mariah Carey Hero's MV director. When the time comes, he will use part of the live video here as material to cut out the MV. Very easy work.
"I want you to go up, and when the time comes, set up the seat here, and here..."
Old Larry was instructing the cameraman to set up the cameras, and the Grand Theater had performances every night, so he and his men didn't bring any equipment, and only came to preview the operation of the cameras when no one was around.
"Hey, Larry."
Song Ya greeted him who was pointing to the second floor to give orders, "Aren't you busy?"
"Not busy." Old Larry knew why he came, and the two casually found seats in the empty theater and sat down, "Are you still struggling with the preparatory meeting for the heroine?"
"I need your support, Larry." Song Ya didn't shy away, "I said that I prefer Amy Adams, of course I don't have to choose her, it can't be changed, but I hope that in the competition with Amblin Entertainment , you stand by my side."
"APLUS."
Old Larry took off his glasses and wiped them, but did not respond directly to the request, "A very simple question, do you think that you have published a book, a song, or a script, and these things are still completely owned by you?"
"Of course." Song Ya replied subconsciously.
"Incorrect." Old Larry said: "A thousand viewers have a thousand Hamlets in their minds. For example, Hamlet is a character in a play written by Shakespeare, but after people give this character various interpretations, you think Shakespeare still has power. Change all aspects of his destiny, personality and...human design?"
"So you don't support me?" Song Ya is not a complete rude person. He could hear old Larry trying to dissuade him tactfully, but he didn't want to accept the trick, so he could only respond with rude words.
Old Larry sighed slightly, "You set the heroine in the script to be of a decent family, beautiful, proud, etc., and then you told those of us who have read the script that you think Amy is the best for this role." Fit? Don't you think you've contradicted yourself? Maybe you shouldn't have written it in the first place, but it's too late now."
He said: "I know Amy Adams. This girl is indeed very beautiful, but she is the beauty of a silly girl from a blue-collar family in the United States. Didn't you realize that the people who approached her for commercials are kitchen utensils and cleaning supplies? They know it very well. What kind of target audience should the advertisement of one's own products face..."
Song Ya silently listened to him talking a lot, "But the original version... Uh, I didn't think there was any difference between writing this character and Amy?"
The Nicole Kidman template that the original heroine and the old Larry brought out is also very different, "Born from an upper-class family can be expressed through acting skills, conversation, manners, and even dressing. In short, I will urge Amy to work hard on her acting skills." , Conquer you in the audition."
"If you are like this, then I have nothing to say." Old Larry expressed helplessness.
"In short, you have to take care of her for me, the producers and casting directors of Amblin Entertainment..." Song Ya said frantically.
"I understand, I understand, I'm going to Los Angeles after I'm done here..."
