After Yeremov left, Song Ya put in a lot of hard work, and finally achieved an achievement. Early the next morning, after washing up, he glanced at the two people sleeping together like Oreos in the bedroom. The third girl, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, put on her clothes and went out.

"You have to go to the VMAs (MTV Video Music Awards) in September."

Hayden was already waiting in the car, "You haven't been to a VMA since your debut. William Morris' friend over there told us that Redstone asked about this not long ago, saying why he had never been to the VMA. seen you."

"Isn't Redstone busy buying Paramount?" Song Ya remembered the news that Viacom intended to buy Paramount for more than 8 billion not long ago. "This kind of top rich man will also care about the specific operation of the TV station."

"Of course, MTV is one of Viacom's most proud businesses. Redstone has been in a bad mood recently. Her wife filed for divorce while he was buying Paramount. The most powerful competitor on the road, don’t offend the media tycoon without knowing it. Not to mention the influence of the media, Redstone still holds a large number of movie theaters in his hands, which is how he started his business.” Hayden replied: “ So the sincerity of this VMA is enough, live performances, multiple nominations, the person in charge of the VMA personally hinted to Donovan that you will win the award."

"They once wanted to help Motura frame me, don't you remember? You William Morris told me the news, when I was fighting Motura in 1991." Song Ya said.

"So do you want Lei Shidong to know that you are still holding grudges?" Hayden asked: "Now that Lei Shidong asks about you, he may just think of it by chance and ask casually, but the people below have to take it easy. The meaning is brought, and I also brought the meaning..."

"What if it's still a trap?" Song Ya was quite upset, "Even if there is no trap, can they pretend it didn't happen if they did something bad?" He couldn't ignore the factor of Motura, after all, that guy has a good relationship with MTV , while he was plotting a rebellion.

"So you still don't want to go?" Hayden looked embarrassed.

"Is Lei Shidong seventy years old?" Song Ya asked.

"Wow..." Hayden smiled, "As long as he hasn't hung up, the present belongs to him, and you don't care about the future."

"So you suggest I go? If it's a trap, I'll fire you." Song Ya yelled at him.

"I'm not that careless. There will be a party in two days, and Redstone will be there. I'll take you to have a chat with him." Hayden said.

"Seventy years old and still throwing parties?"

"Hehe, this is an old woman, and his wife has caught a lot of tricks, so every time he is going to do something big, his wife threatens to expose him to a divorce lawsuit, and then takes money from him..."

"This kind of couple is really a match."

"Hehe." Hayden smiled and said nothing.

Drive into Universal Studios in the car, the headquarters of Amblin Entertainment is inside, the office space is not big, the corridors are full of movie posters produced by them, Jurassic Park is placed in the most conspicuous place, and there is a lifelike dinosaur at the door Model.

After the film was released in June, it won 80 million box office in the first week, and has now swept more than 200 million dollars in Beimi. It has widely aroused a social trend about dinosaurs. I heard that the number of middle school graduates who intend to sign up for archaeology has doubled. Even now, the average daily box office per building is still more than 10,000 dollars. The whole world is also sold out, and the final box office results will be a very scary figure.

"Hello, hello Larry, Zach, hello." The crew of Dancing Out of My Life has rented three offices here, and the main creators of the crew basically meet and hold meetings here.

Song Ya shook hands with the people present one by one, and sat down in a random seat.

"About this version of the storyboard script." Old Larry quickly got to the point, "Have everyone read it? Do you have any comments?"

Everyone shook their heads,

They guessed that their opinions have been fully discussed, "Uh, that's it." Song Ya said, "Can you sublimate the inspirational content at the end of the film, and add some clips of men, one man and two women and one woman and two women running towards their respective lives?"

The new apocalypse song BeWhatYouWannaBe and inspirational, if you want to make an ending song, you need some movie screens to cooperate.

"Yes, I've considered this too." Old Larry exchanged glances with the other main creators, "The male lead officially entered the dance industry and became a star dancer."

"No, just become a professional backup dancer, have a fixed income, and get out of the slums." Universal's producer suggested: "Leave some room for improvement for the sequel or something."

Old Larry looked at Song Ya.

"Well, yes, this is more realistic." Song Ya has no objection, he himself came from a slum area, and for black boys in a slum area, this kind of way out is already very good.

"The heroine successfully entered her favorite dance troupe and became a dance star." Old Larry continued.

Everyone has no opinion on this point. It is not enough for the heroine from a rich family to be a backup dancer, and maintaining the status gap between the two is conducive to the dramatic conflict in the sequel. Originally, in the original script, the heroine was studying at an art high school, and her dream was to enter a well-known art university, but Song Ya’s own appearance was rather old-fashioned, so the old Larry raised the age of all the characters by two years, so that the heroine Appeared as a college student.

"The second male enters the professional basketball team."

"The second girl became a young singer, and his boyfriend became a music creator..."

Old Larry considered everything thoroughly, and no one had any objections. He jotted down a few notes on the script, and then moved on to the next topic.

The project progressed smoothly under the mature system of Amblin Entertainment, and everyone was in a good mood, confirming each item until it came to the casting of the main actors.

"First of all, the second male actor. APLUS's height and body are here. It's a bit difficult to find a white male actor who is taller and stronger than him, and who can let the audience see at a glance that he can play professional basketball."

The casting director who had conflicts took out a stack of audition resumes, "The one with the closest appearance is this..."

Song Ya glanced at it. It was an actor introduced by Harley, who played a football player in the crew of The Program she participated in.

"But his line skills are not good, and he can't show the characteristics of being born in an African-American ghetto and likes to gag." The casting director said.

"What about the others?" asked old Larry.

"Everyone else is here, and I have marked those who have qualified lines, but their appearance is definitely not at the level of professional basketball." The casting director was a little helpless, "It is too difficult to find the perfect candidate, mainly This person is set to be white, if it is replaced by African-American..."

"No, changing the whole script to an African-American would require a big change. We can't do this for a supporting role." Old Larry refused.

"Then watch it," said the casting director.

Five or six resumes were circulated in everyone's hands, "This person?" Song Ya saw a familiar guy, looked up and recalled, "I seem to have met him when I was recording Saturday Night Live." That's right, dunking During the bridge segment, he was the one holding the inflatable basketball hoop.

"Who? Oh, Adam Sandra." The casting director took a look. "He is indeed on Saturday Night Live, a screenwriter, an occasional cameo, and he is a funny talent. But he is only 1.78 meters..."

"Change the character design? A professional baseball player would suit him well." Someone suggested.

Old Larry thought for a while, then nodded, "There are not many changes to the script, APLUS?" He looked at Song Ya.

"I have no opinion."

In this kind of place, Song Ya doesn't want to get entangled, and is willing to make concessions, and she will insist on her own opinion when the heroine is in charge.

"In short, let's continue to audition first, and then invite more agreeable ones, whether the script can be changed or not." Universal's producer said.

Old Larry nodded and put things aside.

"The second female, Tyra Banks is very suitable." said the casting director.

"He's too tall, and..." Zack Schneider finally spoke, and he gestured with his hands on his chest, "Male audiences may not be able to take their eyes off here, and they will steal the limelight from the heroine."

The men all laughed, "Then don't consider her." The casting director didn't insist.

"Let's go on to the next round of auditions. They are all suitable. We'll see when the time comes." Old Larry said, privately, he would give priority to Taraji.

The second girl's boyfriend, because he is a black music creator, so there are so many requests from friends in the hip-hop circle. Song Ya is not easy to offend, so she simply picks out all the invited actors and Common, who she pushed, and speaks straight. Everyone understands that they will give priority to choosing actors among these people.

"The female principal of the art school, and the hostess' mother." These two people have similar characteristics, and they both chose middle-aged white women with good temperament. Song Ya still had no objection.

"This won't work. Her acting skills are too good, and she always likes to play with people." The producer of Amblin Entertainment picked out the resume of an old actor and excluded her.

"Is it wrong to be too good at acting?" Song Ya asked in surprise.

The director and producers all laughed, "APLUS, you don't understand this, you and the heroine are both newcomers, and the acting skills presented on the screen will definitely be very young, there is an old actor who likes to express Playing opposites with you will not only bring the audience a sense of gap in performance, but also add pressure to the film critics. In the event of a conflict, he chose to take the initiative to show his favor. After all, it is better not to offend investors or not to offend them.

The male second brothers are all black boys with rough appearance. Song Ya doesn't know any of them, so he still handed over the right to choose.

Finally came the most controversial heroine.

Dozens of resumes of beautiful white girls with their own characteristics were lined up, which was quite shocking. "Hair can be dyed, so it is not limited to blonde hair." The casting director said.

"But debuting with a blonde girl will affect their future performance routes?" Anne Fletcher asked.

"There's nothing to be picky about being able to invest tens of millions of dollars in making a female lead debut." The casting director shrugged nonchalantly, "Whoever is chosen can wake up from their dreams with laughter."

"Actually, the heroine of my other crew is very suitable..." Anne Fletcher looked at Song Ya, "Cameron Diaz, the heroine in disguise, is very beautiful and has a particularly charming smile. That is her debut work .”

"Forget it, she dares to pass the first movie?" the casting director asked.

"That's right, forget it, I'll just talk about it." Anne Fletcher asked: "What about the Latin girl? From Beautiful Girls, I really like her dancing performance."

"She..." Song Ya knew that she liked Shakira very much, but she hadn't contacted her for a long time, "I haven't had much contact with her, but she insisted on following the path of Latin music, and even I wrote songs for her. If you refuse, you probably won’t come to Hollywood, right?”

Even APLUS refused to write a song? "Wow, this girl is really arrogant." People in the conference room let out a burst of admiration.

Song Ya saw Charlize Theron again in her resume, she pursed her lips, said nothing, and picked up Amy's resume, "In the case of similar acting skills, she is the first choice, is it okay?"

"NO! APLUS! This girl is too good-looking and doesn't fit the heroine's personality!" The casting director suddenly turned his face, and he objected loudly with a stiff head, "I thought you were no longer like last time. Unreasonable..."

"Hey, I didn't insist on anything else, just the right to choose an actor!" Song Ya glared at him: "Just one!"

"Her dance performance is also not good." Anne Fletcher said: "The movements are as standard as aerobics."

"The heroine is the soul APLUS of this show." Old Larry didn't help either.

"Don't be self-willed APLUS, everyone got together because of you, don't let us down, your performance so far has been surprisingly good." Universal's producer chimed in.

"Ha! You have already discussed it, right!?" Song Ya understood, stood up angrily, and looked over one by one. Except for Yeremov and Zack Schneider, everyone avoided their eyes and acquiesced.

"Don't worry, we've only passed the second round of auditions. Now we're only discussing the general direction. Let's put this dispute aside for now." Yeremov acted as a peacemaker.

"Actually, it's not impossible for her, uh, to choose Amy Adams, we can change the hostess setting..." Zack Schneider finally plucked up the courage to jump out.

Everyone looked at him with villainous eyes.

He bowed his head and shrank back.

The meeting finally ended in an unpleasant atmosphere, "APLUS." When leaving, Anne Fletcher caught up, "Let's chat alone?"

"Okay." Song Ya picked a place with her, "If you still want to persuade me to be the heroine..."

"No, uh, also..."

Anne Fletcher kneaded her hands together, "Actually, I can do it too, don't you think?"

"you?"

"Yes, me." She boldly met her gaze: "I don't think it's a problem to play a college student, I'm not yet thirty."

"Uh, it's not quite...I mean..." Song Ya glanced at her shoehorn chin, and was speechless for a while. Is the heroine of the movie really that attractive?

"Hehe, just kidding, I actually want to talk to you about the dance style." Anne Fletcher laughed and waved her hands, bringing the awkward atmosphere over.
