Chapter 630 Oscar Nomination
The sales of the commemorative album are not bad. According to the estimate of Atlantic Records, it can sell the platinum line, but it will take a long time.
For a late singer like Lowry who has been plagued by negative news, it will take some time to arouse the audience's sentimental consumption. At present, some commemorative and touting of his historical status are slowly being spread in the media , because the actual cost of publicity and distribution is not high, so a lot of hype is used, such as occupying a seat on the list of more or less big hip-hop singers in the history of music magazines.
Through a series of operations, Song Ya solved the troubles of Little Lowry, Sinaloa, and the confrontation with the East and West Coast rap circles at the same time. He thought he couldn't do better, and the result was perfect.
On February 14th, Valentine's Day, he and Mariah Carey, who had temporarily escaped from school, appeared at a small airport closest to Highland Park.
The plane ordered by the two was finally delivered.
Mariah Carey took small steps, excitedly boarded the Gulfstream 4SP on the tarmac, and then offered a treasure at the cabin door, "Honey, our own plane, Dang Dang Dang..."
After Song Ya shook hands with the handover personnel from Gulfstream, the hosting company, and the crew, Shi Shi ran up.
"so slow!"
She complained and took Song Ya's hand to walk around, "It's all VIP leather seats, the ones here can be turned over, and the desks, bar counters, and lighting are also customized. Of course, gold-plated things are indispensable, such as wine glasses and sinks. , toilet, karaoke microphone..."
Emmm...
Surprisingly, it’s not bad. Song Ya looks at the interior of the cabin, which is dominated by white tones and supplemented by golden elements. It feels at least more pleasing to the eye than the living room in Bedford Hills. Maybe it’s because Gulfstream doesn’t have many options for customization? In short, this is not the result of her letting herself go too much.
"Mr. APLUS, Ms. Kelly, the hours of trial operation have been completed, and now we can leave at any time."
The captain and the crew came over to introduce themselves. There were only four of them, two captains and co-pilots with high safety flying hours, and two stewardesses, all of whom were white middle-aged aunts. The young and beautiful blond stewardess is such a mistake.
"one two three……"
Song Ya counted the seats, "Didn't you say there are sixteen seats? Why are there only fourteen?"
“Because custom-made equipment takes up space,
There are also weight considerations. "
The man from Gulfstream answered.
"Okay, let's fly to Los Angeles as planned."
Song Ya is very satisfied. Although he spent a lot of money, now it seems that owning his own private jet has undoubtedly improved his life to a higher level. He peeped at his fiancée who was introducing the seat massage function to Linda, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. After all, not long ago, I just had a sneak peek with Xue Linfen...
No, it’s not considered stealing, it’s not really done.
Although I convinced myself, there is still a sense of guilt, "This is the Valentine's Day gift we gave each other." Go to sit next to Mariah Carey, and the two sides of the plane pay half, which is 10 million In the early days, gifts can be a bit expensive.
"Like it?" she asked.
"certainly."
The bodyguards brought up the prepared wine, luggage and personal belongings one after another, and began to stuff things into the plane under the guidance of the people from Gulfstream.
Because the customer is using it for the first time, people from the hosting company and Gulfstream will also record the data along with them, so the two of them are a little restrained along the way, concentrating on trying to operate various toys such as karaoke.
"Every time I go to Los Angeles, I have to stay in a hotel..."
The plane had just landed, and she complained casually.
Song Ya kept this unintentional remark in her heart, and when she met with the men who picked up the plane, she whispered to Hayden: "I thought about it, let's buy a house in Malibu, Mimi and I really need to buy a house often. To and from Los Angeles."
"Budget?" Hayden asked.
"It shouldn't be too small. It has an invincible sea view and a private beach. It's better if it's already built. I don't like the kind of David Geffen's house..." he confessed.
"Okay, there are not many second-hand sea view mansions for sale over there, and I can ask you about them soon." Hayden replied.
"Keep your voice down. I'll buy this house myself. It's a wedding gift for her." Song Ya reminded him: "Be careful to keep it secret, this is a surprise."
"Wow, you're such a romantic boss..."
Hayden praised.
With so much money lying around in the bank, buying a mansion with a sea view in Malibu is still a trivial matter. The Federal Reserve has raised the deposit rate to 6% after rounds of interest rate hikes. He is not in a hurry to invest it for the time being.
In addition to being Valentine's Day, today is also the day when the 67th Oscar nominations are announced, and it is also the deadline for David Fincher to decide whether to direct the cat-and-mouse game.
"Forrest Gump got thirteen nominations, The Lion King three, Speed three, The Shawshank Redemption seven, Vulgarity seven..."
After the nominations were announced, Yeremov began to read, "These are big winners."
"What about Interview with the Vampire?" Song Ya was taken aback. David Geffen had high hopes for the movie that was very popular before.
"Two small technical prizes," Yeremov replied.
"What? Will Liangtang be mad? He didn't hesitate to act as a homosexual character, breaking through his previous image, but he didn't get anything?" Song Ya was surprised.
"Haha, an idol male star like him won't be liked by the judges no matter how much he sells at the box office."
Yeremov said with a smile: "Although David Geffen is rich and powerful in Hollywood, his influence on the Oscars is far less than that of Harvey Weinstein. You can see the vulgarity of Miramax and Interview with the Vampire." The situation is very different.”
"What about my Best Original Song Award?" Song Ya still cared about herself most.
"Not nominated."
Yeremov shook his head, "Even if it is nominated, it's useless. The Lion King has received two nominations for this award, and the award is almost destined to go to Elton John can you feel the love tonight."
"Shxt!"
It's like talking about public relations. Those CDs and MD players that came with American Music Magazine are all fed to the dogs.
"Our background is not good enough, and the public relations are too simple and rude. We still need to take our time." Hayden said: "And we can't completely rely on public relations behavior."
"William Morris always knows more about Harvey Weinstein's tricks than I do?" Song Ya asked him, "Is there any other way besides giving small gifts?"
"He also sponsors a nursing facility where the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences judges get together, nicknamed the Oscar Nursing Home, and some other..."
Hayden gave a few examples, "This is very subtle, boss, you have to know that you can't apply what you have learned. David Geffen knows Hollywood better than us, and he can't do it."
"David Fincher hasn't made a decision yet?" Song Ya asked again: "Are the actors from the Seven Deadly Sins crew shortlisted?"
"Unfortunately, Morgan Freeman was shortlisted for Best Actor because of The Shawshank Redemption." Yeremov replied.
"What the hell? He's obviously the second male!" Song Ya couldn't understand.
"But everyone agrees that his performance and role are worthy of competing for the male lead." Yeremov said.
