Chapter 710 The Situation of the Summer Vacation in 1995
Latest URL: "Nicole, Nicole, look this way..."
"APLUS, here!"
At the entrance of the theater, Song Ya held the back of the Australian big white girl with his hands. The two kept adjusting their angles facing the camera. After posing for half a minute, "Congratulations on your box office success, Nicole, I'll go in first." Song Ya smiled and whispered.
"Thank you, APLUS, for coming."
Nicole Kidman was in a great mood, "See you inside."
"See you inside."
The two hugged politely, and Song Ya turned around and walked into the theater. Batman Forever has been in theaters for a week. Today is not the premiere nor the red carpet or other arrangements. Nicole Kidman brought the crew to Chicago. Propaganda, waiting for a small meeting before the movie screening, are routine operations in Hollywood.
"APLUS, let's talk about how you were attacked by eggs a few days ago..."
"Is there anything you want to say to that girl?"
The reporters were not willing to let him go, asking questions in a hurry.
"Today we only talk about movies, sorry." He waved his hands with a smile, and walked into the theater very gracefully.
"APLUS, talk about it?" Pai Kingsley was waiting for him inside, and took him to a small office inside the theater with ease.
"What's wrong?"
Song Ya guessed that she had promised herself, about Fergie's song, "Fergie." Sure enough, the big manager of CAA was not wordy, and asked again, "She said that her second college has almost done it. That's right, there's only one title song left."
"Don't worry, I won't break my promise." Nearly halfway through 1995, it's time to delay Fergie again. Now I have a song that suits her, which is Sweet from the apocalypse when she was caught and raped. But Psycho, Mariah Carey doesn't sing pop dance music now, so it's barely okay for Fergie, although she mainly plays hip-hop.
It’s just that from the point of view of the current era, the rhyming method of that song is simple and rough, and the words are too shallow, but...
It's enough to hand in the task to Fergie, she still wants a bicycle.
"Are you ready?" Pakinsley asked.
"You're always urging me, always urging me, every chance you get..." Song Ya complained.
"Haha, isn't that what managers do? I did a good job on my mission. I'm sorry APLUS, maybe my attitude was a little rushed."
After getting the promise, Pai Kingsley was also in a good mood, "I do have room for improvement in the singer business, but we will cooperate well. By the way, I heard that Mrs. Song left William Morris and hired her agent Sandy Glenn? Is she interested in working with David Geffen next contract? Or are you all ready to cut William Morris? If you also want to leave William Morris, I think I..."
"I'm not changing agencies, sorry, I will renew my contracts with Donovan and Hayden for the next three years."
Song Ya directly raised her hand to refuse, but her wife can't be willful, and she has to wipe her ass. The second three-year contract with William Morris expires next year. In order to appease Donovan and the others, he rewarded William Morris for helping to get the New York Times. That is not an easy task. The next brokerage contract still remains with William Morris, and only reduces the joint brokers to Donovan and Hayden, which slightly reduces the share. Anyway, with his current influence on Chicago political circles, he does not need The service of the third co-broker.
"Really? Well, it's a pity, but I respect your decision."
Pai Kingsley tactfully stopped pestering her, and Song Ya asked her some recent news about the film industry.
"In the summer season, in May, Braveheart made Mel Gibson red, and the red tide turned director Anthony Scott. From June to July, Nicole's eternal Batman must be invincible. From July to August, it is about It's the turn of Universal's Future Water World, and the production cost of these two films is more than 100 million..."
Pai Kingsley helped to analyze, "Amy Adams' youth movie is scheduled for July 7th?"
"Yes, what do you think? Is the schedule okay?" Song Ya asked.
"I don't know the quality of that movie. After all, from the director to the actors, Amy is the most popular at the box office."
Pai Kingsley said: "Of course, just like Dancing Out of My Life, she definitely didn't go to the top of the weekly box office. It was the summer vacation, and it was considered a big hit in the middle. The budget of that movie was only More than one thousand, it seems to be about eighteen million. I heard that the distributor deliberately staggered the schedule of that movie and the same type of youth school movie on July 19th. Two weeks is enough, At least not likely to lose money.”
"I hope so." Song Ya nodded.
"Haven't you communicated with Amy?" Pai Kingsley asked.
Song Ya waved her hand, "No, no, I don't contact her anymore."
Pai Kingsley smiled, it was still early, and the two chatted about the seven major film companies and the soon-to-be-set DreamWorks, "Beautiful Soup's personal failure in the movie Interview with the Vampire is against David Gerrard." Finn was bitter about it, and Mr. Geffen also hated him for talking nonsense in public afterwards, but...it is always good for Hollywood to have new distribution companies enter the scene, at least it is a good thing for actors."
"Yeah, Jim Carrey's three movies were popular last year, and this year he entered the 20 million club." Song Ya agreed.
"Hehe, the 20 million club..." Pai Kingsley was very disdainful of this word.
"how?"
"The so-called 20 million club is a concept that has been hyped up by the Big Seven recently. They don't want to have superstars like Nicholson or Liang Tang who take too much money from the box office, so they plan to promote this concept in the future. The highest level It's 20 million, don't think about anything else..."
According to Pakinsley's introduction, Paramount signed a very favorable agreement with Liang Tang in 1992 in order to secure the film contract with him. The CW film company co-founded by Lavagner has more than 10 million dollars, and it is licensed to participate in the production. And can the male stars who claim to have entered the 20 million club really keep receiving film contracts that match this worth every year? That's why Bright Soup is almost unique in Hollywood. This contract has attracted the covetousness of countless male stars. For example, Brad, a handsome boy who is becoming more and more popular, wants to follow the example of Bright Soup and open his own film company to get similar contracts.
But the Big Seven have changed. The bosses of 20th Century Fox, Paramount, and Universal have been replaced by Jewish bigwigs. The book’s hot money has been withdrawn, and the remaining Sony no longer wants to spend a lot of money. The actor’s Bargaining power will definitely be weakened, and the so-called 20 million club is a concept that these new players have begun to promote, trying to set a salary cap for superstars, but it is just a bad thing that is promoted as a good thing through Jim Carrey's rise to the top. Jim Carrey can always get high box office in low-cost films. In previous years, it is definitely not difficult for such cost-effective stars to get a better deal like Nicholson or Liangtang.
"It turned out to be like this..."
Song Ya learned something more, "So Spielberg, Katzenberg, and David Geffen are smart people. Now the book has no money, but the IT industry has it! Microsoft's stock has been rising. With this momentum, Bill Gates will be the richest man in the world by the end of the year, and another founder, Paul Allen, gave DreamWorks hundreds of millions of dollars just by slipping through his fingers..."
"Maybe, but people in tech love Wall Street, and Hollywood has always been against Wall Street, so ... a new game is about to begin," Pakinsley said.
"Pie... APLUS, we are about to start." At this moment, Nicole Kidman poked her head in to remind her.
"Okay, we'll be seated right away." Pai Kingsley nodded.
It's the best in the world... Song Ya quietly swallowed as she watched the Australian big white girl turn and leave.
