Chapter 551 The Modern Stones Premiere

"Don't do stupid things APLUS."

Old Joe knows that what Sinaloa wants to accomplish is one of Song Ya's backlashes. The Chicago rap king will never be happy to hear that his old story of being Lowry's follower is brought up again by the media, let alone be willing to be with him. Little Lowry, who DISS had framed him, became a good brother again.

"Even in the gang, his behavior is too high-profile, maybe we may wait for him to kick the iron plate..."

But Lao Qiao also knows that Song Ya is now a billionaire with a lot of political and business connections, and he is really in a hurry. It is not difficult to kill the leader of a small gang in Nancheng. After Sinaloa and his men left, he quickly persuaded : "AK and his family should have been included in the FBI's witness protection plan. Even if he can find and kill AK, the FBI will not let him go."

"I'm afraid he'll be caught by the police." Song Ya really thought about it. Sinaloa will have an accident sooner or later. It would be too stupid for him to be implicated by this kind of neurosis...

"That kid is not someone who will cooperate with the police. He swore to fight to the death..." Old Qiao said.

Song Ya smiled, "The gangsters say so, but how many of them actually do it?"

"He's just crazy. Others won't, but I believe he will."

Old Qiao's words made Song Ya put away her murderous intentions. After all, she was also afraid of getting her hands dirty, "Okay, then I'll go back, Old Qiao, what are your plans in the future?"

"I'm very old, and I definitely don't want to go to prison again." Old Qiao looked around the office, and said sadly and self-deprecatingly: "Hehe, maybe my company can discover another genius like you?"

"Yes, and good luck to you, Joe."

After that, Song Ya lived an ordinary life, went to school, accompanied Mariah Carey to prepare for the engagement ceremony, dealt with business matters, etc...

Sinaloa also disappeared after saying that he would punish the informer. Maybe he really went to kill AK? I don't know, and Song Ya doesn't want to know. Anyway, Sinaloa is so high-profile, the FBI will definitely get wind of it. Of course, he will definitely make some preparations in advance.

At the end of May, he arrived in Hollywood with Mariah Carey for the premiere of Modern Stones, produced by Amblin Entertainment and distributed by Universal Pictures, featuring Halle as the second female lead.

"Hairpins."

Walking through the red carpet, at the entrance of the theater, after hugging Harley, who was dressed up to attend, she suddenly read a word into her ear.

"What?" Song Ya didn't know why.

"Hairpins."

"What hairpin?"

"Hehe..." Harley leaned back, glanced over Song Ya's back and glanced at Mariah Carey who was concentrating on greeting fans, "Many girls will quietly poke a little on that star with a hair clip while they are not paying attention." Hole."

"Uh..." Song Ya knew what she was implying.

"Girls who seem less likely to do so are more likely to find opportunities." Harry blinked slyly.

"What are you guys talking about?" Mariah Carey asked back.

"It's nothing, I asked APLUS if he has seen little Robb." Harry said.

Mariah Carey smiled unnaturally, "He ran away as soon as he got off the plane yesterday."

"You too?"

"No……"

"Oh, you're so nice Mimi...but you have to keep an eye on this kid in the future." Harry said artificially.

"Let's go in." Mariah Carey ignored her, twisted Song Ya's arm and walked into the theater.

Song Ya glared at Hari, who was already holding the second male actor in high spirits, and went to greet other friends.

"Will the movie fail at the box office?"

Mariah Carey asked as the two found their seats.

"You really want Universal to fail?" Song Ya asked back.

"No, emmm..." She pouted, "A little bit."

Song Ya smiled helplessly, "I heard that after the small-scale screening, film critics gave a bad evaluation of this movie. Of course, the review ban has not been lifted, and the news may not be accurate."

"Ha..." She gloated immediately,

"She's screwed up a lot of big productions, hasn't she?"

"Harry? Yes, she's in a tough place right now."

Song Ya followed his fiancée's hair, but what he didn't say was that although the evaluation of the film critics was indeed not high, the distribution company Universal Pictures had prepared 2,500 premiere theaters in the first echelon of the same period for this film, and it was very important to the world. The market is also very tight, and they would rather push up the distribution cost significantly, but also must win their good start in the summer of 1994.

Although it is generally believed that Beimi's summer vacation will start after the first weekend of May, from then until the end of May now, it is still in the preheating stage of the box office. Universal has placed some expectations, and Spike Lee's signature routine The movie Crooklyn jumped at the box office of 14 million at a cost of 14 million, which caused Universal to firmly refuse to admit that it was the first shot of its summer vacation.

Moreover, according to Yeremov's speculation, the 46 million production cost claimed by Amblin Entertainment is also full of water. Many special effects are made with the mature technology of Jurassic Park, but the special effect cost calculation is still based on the The pattern of Jurassic Park, there are many tricks in it.

Song Ya is estimated to be another classic old routine of Spielberg and Universal's high-level executives pitting the capital. It is said that he personally made 250 million dollars from a Jurassic Park movie, which is comparable to his own exhaustion. Chemical plants are much more profitable. For example, tonight, the premiere of a live-action movie based on animation actually came to support many big-name stars. I believe most of them came for his sake.

But the movie's biggest gimmick, Elizabeth Taylor, didn't show up at the premiere. MJ had the final hurdle for the Los Angeles grand jury, and victory was in sight. She and Elvis Presley's daughter Lisa Presley were helping with the final sprint.

"APLUS, welcome, Miss Kelly." The Universal producer who danced out of my life sat down beside the two.

"Any new news recently?" Song Ya asked him.

"Paramount's Forrest Gump is scheduled for July 6th. They just got nominated for two David Awards in Italy, but they didn't win." The other party replied.

"Is this good news, right?" Song Ya knew that the European Film Awards still had some influence on the American box office.

"Not necessarily. We went to the David Awards and came back and said that Europeans may not like that movie very much, but Americans should like it very much."

"Oh." Song Ya was a little disappointed, and danced to the 15th date of my life, which is ten days after the release of Forrest Gump. Movies starring Tom Hanks generally have great stamina, and I believe they will be their strong rivals.

"Don't be disappointed." The other party also saw it, "The genre of that movie is not related to ours, and the audience is different."

"I understand. By the way, how much is Tom Hanks' salary?" Song Ya saw Tom Hanks himself from a distance and asked.

"Haha, do you have a project to find him?"

The other party laughed and didn't take it to heart at all, "If this Forrest Gump is sold again, he will surely be able to enter the 20 million club, and the asking price for commercial blockbusters may be more than that. Of course, some good scripts will win prizes. Art films are no exception."

"Wow..." Song Ya clicked her tongue, "Then how about finding him as the male second?"

"Stop joking about APLUS." The other party didn't even bother to answer.

Song Ya secretly thought about it, the game of cat and mouse is definitely not an art film, then Tom Hanks is 20 million, and the current market price of Xiao Lizi is estimated to be 3 million, and Christopher Walken's 3 million may still go up. It would cost nearly 30 million yuan to invite the three male protagonists of the original version, and there are so many characters in the cat and mouse game, so the salary alone is a bottomless pit...

"Stop talking, watch a movie, watch a movie." Mariah Carey wished that Halle's movie would hit the street, and watched it seriously.

Harley still continues the sexy style, she is the most eye-catching one in the movie, and the role of the heroine Perkins does not need any acting skills. Song Ya feels that Xue Linfen, who is more beautiful, should perform better than her. Unfortunately, Xue Lin Fen was pregnant with Little Robb before joining the group, and lost this good opportunity that she had fought for her.

In fact, this movie is a family comedy with a spoof style. The plot has no bright spots, except for a few special effects shots that appear occasionally. Cars powered by feet, using primitive organisms as food waste processors at home, etc., are quite imaginative, but that's all.

Those who came to the premiere were all insiders, and it seemed that everyone was limited to polite applause and praise.

"Well, Eremov."

After the show, the two met with Yeremov and others, and returned to the hotel where they were staying. "Is it possible for this movie to be a big hit?" Song Ya asked.

"It is said that after the premiere, audience feedback and attendance were very good. Their main enemy in the same period was released in more than 2,700 theaters. Paramount's big production Beverly Hills Cop 3 starring Eddie Murphy Then the bad reviews are raging...should be rushed." Yeremov said.

"Really? This is okay too?" Mariah Carey couldn't believe it.

"Whether a movie sells well or not sometimes depends on luck." Yeremov smiled wryly. "The audience's taste is unpredictable, and a 'good opponent' like Beverly Hills Cop 3 is hard to come by."

"Harry will win the direct contest with Spike Lee, Eddie Murphy and other famous black Hollywood directors..." Song Ya murmured.

"This is good news for us. The more popular Harley's sexy image in The Flintstones is, it will also help the box office in July." Yeremov echoed.

"I'm going to take a shower!" Mariah Carey couldn't take it anymore.

"By the way, how is the progress of the novel I asked you to ask?"

"Very complicated."

Yeremov replied: "The book written by the legendary liar Abagnale has the ability to catch me. After it was published in 1980, the right to adapt the film was quickly sold by him, and after frequent changes of hands, the project has never been started. I estimate that the script has been written layer by layer, and there are more than a dozen versions, and it is now lying quietly in a warehouse in Hollywood Studios."

"The Hollywood film industry that makes one and loses one?" Song Ya knew that the production company was because Harley had previously filmed his family's Public Enemy No. 1, so she rushed as expected.

"It's a company owned by Disney, and it can afford to lose. Now it's undergoing internal personnel changes. I went to ask, but no one has time to answer me." Eremov said.
