Chapter 533 Schedule and Filming

"Robert from SBK?"

Linda took a chance and told Song Ya about Mira's request.

"That guy wants to dive her?"

"Miss Jovovich said that, if you don't agree to Robert's threat, the other party will not send her a post. Her five-year one plus one post contract expires in June, because the grades of the post you helped meet the contract requirements , so if she doesn’t release the second album before the contract expires, she will face liquidated damages, and she won’t receive any notice in the United States, so she can’t afford the money.”

Linda replied: "Although she cried a lot on the phone, I want to remind you that after going through so many things, Miss Jovovich is definitely not the girl you used to know. She has been with you in the past few months. Married Mark Holden, and Mark Holden wrote the lyrics for her entire album, you know what that means in the record industry...”

"I know, but Robert is the one who can do this kind of thing..." Song Ya rubbed her brows lightly and pondered.

"Do you still want to help her? You have helped her a lot, and now you have to consider Miss Kelly's feelings."

Linda knew he was moved.

"I will find a way. Anyway, I have long wanted to teach Robert the discrimination against me before, so I will do it together this time." Song Ya said.

"All right……"

Linda sighed, "You can't help her forever, boss."

"Let her wait for me to do it, at the end of April."

Song Ya couldn't accept that his ex-girlfriend was bullied by someone like Robert, "I'm APLUS, let Mr. Glass answer the phone..." He dialed Daniel's office number.

"Daniel can't control Robert. His old subordinates in SBK broke with him as early as when he was the president of EMI." Linda reminded.

"I know, I know... Hey! Daniel, I have something to discuss with you..."

After the phone call, he didn't explain to Linda again, "Is there anything else?"

"Uh... well, the deposit rate has been raised from 3% to 3.5% after two hikes, which is good news for you."

Linda opened the notepad and began to report on her work.

"What's the use of raising that interest rate? I might as well buy stocks."

Song Ya complained: "I heard that Madoff's annualized income can easily exceed 10%, but it's a pity that the Jews don't take me to play. Is there any news about old Larry?"

"He's urging you to finish the score as soon as possible," Linda replied.

"It's strange, isn't it? Old Larry, Zach, Yeremov, Catherine, these people have a tacit understanding and never take the initiative to ask me about editing my life." Song Ya said.

"Editing rights are one of the core powers in the film industry. Old Larry wants to realize his artistic ambitions. As the president of Amblin Entertainment, Catherine certainly doesn't want to be dictated by others." Linda replied.

"What about Yeremov and Zack Schneider? They should be loyal to me." Song Ya asked.

"Eremov will help you watch, but if he helps you with the final edit, he will definitely become the laughing stock of Hollywood. If the movie fails at the box office, it may be him in the end. Assistant director Zach can't Gives the impression that Hollywood makes a living by licking leading actors."

"So people still don't trust a nineteen-year-old layman, right? Even if I have the power."

"APLUS, you wrote the script and invested in it. You should leave this kind of thing to professionals. Your desire to control is too strong in this matter."

"You keep an eye on it quietly, and I will watch it when the editing is close to success."

With the apocalypse of the original movie, Song Ya will not let the power fall aside, "What about the schedule? What about the global schedule?"

"July 15th, if there are no accidents, about two weeks after the release of Universal's Phantom Man, Universal's another children's comedy, Little Rascal, will be waiting in three weeks. July 15th On the same day, there is also a powerful film "True Lies" released, starring Schwarzenegger in the Terminator series, and the Disney animation blockbuster Lion King released earlier, Universal is expected to have the most optimistic box office results in the first week of my life That is the third.

Because it is a summer vacation, based on last year's experience, Dancing My Life will still have a box office of 15 to 20 million. ’ reported Linda.

"That's not bad? How's the filming going?"

"It's not clear. It depends on the box office of Phantom. Since the Dance Out of My Life project has subsidized more than 300 theaters to upgrade their DTS equipment, according to the agreement, these 300 theaters must guarantee a minimum schedule for two weeks. After the end of the first week, it was forced to release. The theaters near the traditional black area are also your strong backing. The number is about 800, but there is a lot of overlap with the previous 300. And then cooperate with Universal in the Jurassic Park project Those theaters that cooperate to promote the DTS surround sound effect in China will generally not resist arranging films for Dance Out of My Life, which also use DTS technology..."

Linda briefly talked about the filming situation, "Including other theaters that may be won, the overall calculation will probably open in 1,300 to 1,800 theaters in the first week. Maybe it can give us more. Now that multiplexes have become the mainstream, the number of screens is actually a more important indicator than the number of theaters, but theater chains have greater autonomy and are more difficult to control."

"Then do you want to find a way to snipe Phantom?" Song Ya asked.

"That's a movie with an investment of 40 million yuan. Do you really want to snipe it? Universal will be very upset. You only paid 9 million yuan for the dance of my life." Linda didn't suggest it, "I heard that Your favorite Zun Long starred in the movie."

"Oh, forget it, if they don't snipe us, we won't do it, but you let Yeremov make some preparations in advance, I don't want to fight unprepared."

Song Ya dismissed her bad thoughts, "You said that Universal's most optimistic judgment can be ranked third, so what about the unoptimistic prediction?"

"Fifth, maybe even sixth."

Linda replied: "In addition to True Lies and The Lion King, there will be Forrest Gump starring Tom Hanks, Speed ​​​​starring Keanu Reeves, and sports movies Baseball Angel and other strong movies will be released. Universal doesn't know the quality and box office potential of these films, but they don't think they will be bad. Also, Jim Carrey's Masquerade in disguise will start filming two weeks after Dancing Out of My Life. That comedy also has song and dance elements, and Dancing Fingers Also Anne Fletcher, who spoke highly of that film."

"Jim Carrey..."

Song Ya sighed.

Jim Carrey's Detective Airplane was a big hit at the beginning of the year, with a global box office of 100 million and a production of 15 million. The unique funny way with rich facial expressions and movements has been hotly discussed by audiences and critics. Immediately after the screening ended, he was also invincible in the video tape market. Warner Bros. has made a lot of money, and they are crazy about it. They and their new line simply hit the iron while the iron is hot, and they have just finished filming Grizzlies in Masquerade. Jim Carrey has launched another low-cost comedy "Dumb and Dumber", which will be released by the end of the year. release.

So this year Jim Carrey actually has three movies to be released, all of which are absolute leading actors at the box office.

The terrible thing is that Jim Carrey is very popular among young people now. Grinch in Masquerade is a superhero comedy, and the target audience is also young people. It will overlap with Dancing Out of My Life. Even if the box office of Dancing Out of My Life is good in the first week, then Sell ​​it for a week, and in the third week, you will run into his disguised monster head-on.

Then we have to face Universal's own little rascal next week...

"No way, this is the summer vacation, we can't hide from powerful enemies."

Linda said: "You are already very lucky in terms of schedule and film schedule. Universal can't produce a strong film this summer. Your starting point is much higher than Escoub's Boys on the Block. As long as you Getting half of what Boys on the Block did at the box office would give you back your investment, and then it’s not a problem to make money off of TV licenses and videotapes, etc., and your clothing brand will also rely on that movie to drive sales..."

"The box office of the boy on the block is nearly 60 million, and half of it is only 30 million. Although this result does not lose money, it is not very worthy of my coffee position... At that time, Hollywood and the tabloids will start to carnival, dancing out my life The artistry is completely inferior to the boys on the block. If word of mouth fails again, it will be on par with Janet Jackson and 2PAC's poetry-writing Justins. Amy and I may win the Golden Raspberry Award."

Song Ya was sober.

"Do you have doubts about the schedule arranged by Universal?" Linda asked.

"Forget it, for the first movie, let's try to respect the partner as much as possible." Song Ya did have doubts, but she hadn't swollen enough to point fingers at Universal.
