Chapter 707?

Latest URL: "Have you heard? Honey, MJ and Jenny's MV for 'Scream' cost as much as $9 million!"

The next morning, the two were sitting on the bed having breakfast, and Mariah Carey said a little jealously: "Jenny's highlighted short hair and smoky eye makeup in the MV are bold enough, and she even gave the camera a middle finger... "

"You two have different personalities, styles, and routes. It's hard to compare. Don't think that one is the same."

Song Ya felt that her wife was trying to compare herself to other DIVAs again, so she quickly gave a warning, "Just because she can openly put up the middle finger doesn't mean you can too, and after the MV came out, she also received a lot of criticism from the outside world. .”

"She's really good, she can support brother so clearly." Mariah Carey sighed while chewing on the vegetable leaves.

"That's true."

Janet Jackson signed with EMI's Viking Beimi. To be able to support MJ across the company, the pressure and price must have been not small. Because the civil settlement of the case in 1993, some Americans have not completely dispelled their feelings towards MJ. Negative perception, now that the brothers and sisters are so resentful towards the case and the tabloids hyping up the case, the disgust of that part of the American people will inevitably empathize with Jenny, "The Jackson family is still very united, but it is a pity that the alien sister Latoya It's all messed up." Song Ya sighed.

"Humph."

Mariah Carey probably also thought of her unreliable sister Alison, and did not continue the topic, "Did you say that the MV really cost nine million? The most expensive MV in history, this price is enough to shoot It's a good movie."

"The figure I heard was 7 million. The MV scene uses a lot of CG technology. It is difficult to explain the cost clearly."

Since the films invested basically do not involve CG post-production, at most cutouts or something, Song Ya currently knows little about the digital post-production special effects industry, "Anyway, when it becomes topical, MJ is always like this."

Just like the huge controversy caused by the 11-minute MV of the first single of the last "Dangerous" album, he has almost figured out the routine of MJ's album announcement. MJ has always attached great importance to the first shot. Heating creates countless topics and controversies, and can occupy a huge news page and media heat in a short period of time.

Such as the song Roar, the most expensive MV in history, controversial lyrics such as 'Enough of injustice and conspiracy', Janet Jackson's breakthrough new image, and MJ's statue of him standing like a great man made by a master artist , Sony Columbia Records set the highest record price in history for this double-disc set of new songs and best selections, with a publicity fee of up to 30 million,

The restarted global tour plan...

Also, this is the first time he has co-produced an album through his own record label and Epic Records to catch up with the trend.

With all these things, everything seems to have returned to the time when the "Dangerous" album just started. The predators entered the stage, and the small ones retreated. There are book owners on the top watching, and Motura and Epic Records on the bottom. Daniel can't, and dare not give MJ is a stumbling block, which is also the reason why in my second album plan, after the release of the first single Dead And Gone, I need to be quiet for a while to avoid its edge.

And thinking of Dead And Gone, Song Ya also felt resentful. I knew that I would not ask Biggie to participate. That guy returned to New York and inexplicably posted the song "Who Shot You" that insinuated 2PAC, which caused Dead And Gone to be rejected in the West Coast market instantly. , Added a lot of obstacles to single sales.

Although biggie cannot be blamed, because shortly after the second Hip-Hop Music Awards, 2PAC publicly claimed to the reporter that he had slept with his wife Faith Evans, which provided a rationale for his previous behavior of satirizing 2PAC, but this It's not a good thing at all, because the moral values ​​of the audience of gangster rap are distorted, so they won't sympathize with the man who is raped, but are more keen to laugh at the fat guy who can't control his wife's affair...

"Yesterday's club bill."

Linda walked into the bedroom with a few documents, he glanced at the numbers on the bill and immediately rolled his eyes, "Those girls can drink so much?"

"The MV production cost is shared equally between us and Sony Columbia Records, and it is included in the publicity and distribution costs." Linda comforted the boss.

In a better mood, he signed on the crib table and returned the document to Linda.

"Can you fire her? Honey..."

Mariah Carey waited for Linda to walk out of the bedroom and repeated the old story, "She is disrespecting me more and more now, you see, she even gave me a smile just now."

"That's because you always like to persuade me to fire her. Do you think she is so shrewd and can't feel it?"

Song Ya replied in a low voice: "Not only is she an ordinary assistant, she also helps me manage A+ records! She is one of the most important executives under my management!"

"I hate her. I don't like her, husband." She shook Song Ya's arm coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, isn't it the last time in Highland Park... She doesn't dare now, OK? I warned her not to hide anything from you." Song Ya had to perfunctory her for the time being.

"Liar ghost!" She rolled her eyes, threw Song Ya's arm away, put her hands on her chest, turned her face away and started to fight coldly.

"This is a matter of principle, not negotiable."

Song Ya was not used to her, she moved the small table and got out of bed, "Also, Yeremov said that 20th Century Fox advised you to add an additional 200

Do you agree with the production fee for Tears of Ten Thousand Stars Dream? "

"Um."

"Remember how I made an agreement with you before? Don't be fooled by them casually. Hollywood especially likes to lure singers to spend more money in projects!"

"Why are you yelling at me so early in the morning!? That's my first movie, my money ok? I'm going to make it as good as it gets."

"It's not about anyone's money. The more you are led by 20th Century Fox, the more likely your project will get out of control! Understand? You insist that Yeremov help you oversee the project, and then you don't agree with his opinion." Listen? News Corporation behind 20th Century Fox, Viacom behind Paramount, and Seagram behind Universal are all facing a crisis of shrinking stock prices. This is the first time, maybe there will be a second time, you have to keep your eyes open and be vigilant against them!"

"I don't want to be taught this by a boy who is four years younger than me, and neither can you, who is touted by everyone as having a business sense. Haven't you been cheated before? Some people still use that 3D company investment case to laugh at you!"

"Ha! Now is the time for couples to hurt each other?"

"It's because you insisted on arguing with me right after waking up..."

"I'm talking about things."

"Then you have a better attitude."

"I have a good attitude, but you can't listen!"

"Look, it's always like this... Is it louder than anyone else? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Song Ya ran away under her G7 high-pitched bombardment, "Uh, Larry, why are you here? And Mr. Stanbrakhetch." The Malibu villa is not big, so I ran to the living room and saw him sitting on the sofa The two of them said, "Haha, it's okay, we are always like this, we are used to it."

"APLUS, do you know about that art movie with Larry?"

When Dancing Out of My Life was still in theaters, the high-profile old Larry took over an art film project of 20th Century Fox. The cooperation between Li and 20th Century Fox was also set up by the two of them. They should have heard a few words of the couple quarreling in the living room just now, so now the two old men look a little embarrassed.

"I know, 20th Century Fox has forcibly withdrawn your movie, right?"

Song Ya knows a little bit about it. Old Larry's movie won a small award in Europe. After returning to the United States, it was scheduled to be released last month. It was on the same schedule as Ridley Scott's younger brother Anthony Scott's Red Tide. The box office of Red Tide was not bad, with a cost of more than 50 million yuan and a box office of 160 million yuan. Anthony Scott basically made a comeback. Hollywood Pictures and President Linton, who were in charge of the production, finally felt proud.

Larry Larry made a big hit at the box office, with a cost of 5.5 million and only 870,000 in the first week, and was withdrawn by 20th Century Fox for a week.

"Yeah, 20th Century Fox released a mess and didn't care about our movie at all."

The two old men were also full of resentment, scolding the publicity department of 20th Century Fox, and at the same time secretly asked A+ Films if they had any new projects, or to eat and dance the third part of my life.

"Right now I don't have a plan for this, and I can't even set a date for the start of the third part of Dancing My Life."

Song Ya really can't help much here, "A+ Films has only one black film project in its plan for next year, Larry, if you want... But let me explain first, the production cost will not exceed one million Knife, maybe even less than half a million."

"I heard Eremov say it."

Old Larry has always been very thin-skinned, and when he asks for help, it is basically Stan Blank Hetch who says: "It seems that your similar projects this year have not even entered the video tape and TV market?"

"Yes, the 'How Do I Stop This' is a script by Elvis Mitchell, do you know Mr. Mitchell?" Song Ya replied.

"A well-known African-American film critic, of course." Stan Blakhey nodded.

"His script...is so-so, but it's not so good that it won't even enter the video tape market. The young African-American director we found is not strong enough, so the project failed. If you want, Larry, next year similar projects will be replaced by you. Director, should not repeat the same mistakes." Song Ya said.

"Okay, I'll think about it."

Although he spent more than 5 million yuan on a production, but he directed the dance out of my life with a box office of more than 130 million yuan. Old Larry will not be reduced to nowhere in Hollywood after one failure. "In the second half of the year, I I will come back to help Kelly... Oh, Mrs. Song is filming the new album MV, we will talk then."

"I understand, don't worry about Larry, it's just a five million project."

The two sides chatted for a long time, and Mariah Carey also changed her clothes and came out beautifully. After exchanging greetings with the two old men, they went out together to the 20th Century Fox studio, and chatted about the MV on the way.

Song Ya stayed in Malibu and began to be busy with his work. His new TV station was hit by a blow just as it was getting ready. ABC's 24-hour news station project has not yet started, but the logo of ABC Cable News has been registered with the management department. After all, the abbreviation happens to be too, damn it.

In the afternoon, I went to visit my wife's studio, where I got tired of it, and then he went directly to the airport to take a private plane back to Chicago.

"APLUS, what do you think of the court just dismissing Cassity McGee's lawsuit for expulsion from the University of Chicago for restricting free expression?"

A reporter stopped him outside the airport as he was about to board the car and return to Highland Park, "You and she are middle school and college classmates, right?"

"Nothing to say, I support the school's decision and I don't agree with a single word of what Cassity McGee has said recently."

For Kasiti, who has already faced the "market" of ultra-conservative whites, he must not publicly express any support for it. He left a sentence and signaled Mawota to keep the reporter away.

The news for a few seconds appeared on local Chicago TV stations in the evening.

Kasiti bit her lip and looked at Song Ya in the picture, her eyes mournful, without saying a word.

"Don't be angry, Kasiti, you have to understand him. He really can't express his support for you publicly, but you also know that he is helping you silently, right?"

Lawyer Tashawny said behind her: "You should shift your energy to fundraising. The amount of fundraising in your account is declining every day. The first day of more than 5,000 dollars is the highest record. If this continues, I will Attorney fees..."

"What can I do? Tashawnee."

Kasiti said helplessly: "Now my chances of showing my face in public and being photographed are rapidly decreasing, and the public's memory is shorter than that of a fish... I hope that the failure of this appeal can win some attention."

"You have to learn to keep yourself hot, just like those politicians and celebrities..." Tashawny pouted to the TV.

"I'm thinking of a way, I'm thinking..."
