Chapter 773: Blade Warrior
"ah!"
In the morning, I was awakened by the sharp dolphin voice of the woman beside me, "Honey, you are so kind!" Mariah Carey had already put the 'pigeon egg' on her hand, and kissed his cheek happily like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Do you like it?" Song Ya hugged her.
"Bullshit! Ooooh!"
She pouted, straightened her arms, turned her wrist repeatedly to appreciate it from various angles, and then gave out a satisfied admiration.
"As long as you like it, Mimi..." The guilt eased a little, and he buried his head in his wife's hair.
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling distressed?" Mariah Carey misunderstood, "Isn't it expensive?"
"No, how could it be, your husband and I are a man who makes money every second." He really didn't brag, Netscape's stock skyrocketed, and it was not far from one hundred dollars.
"Hmph, I see, you think you can escape from the villa on the Bahamas island by giving you a ring? We are going to make up for our honeymoon at the beginning of next year..."
"Um?"
"Forget you." She got up happily.
"No, didn't you bother to thank me?" Song Ya didn't pay attention.
"When I come back at night, I will make a supplementary recording for the original soundtrack of Star Dream Tears." She ran out of the bedroom after a little haircut, "Dang Dang Dang!" She couldn't wait to show off to others, full of energy.
The envious screams of her accompaniment singers came from outside, "New one!?"
"so big!"
"It must have been sent by APLUS!"
"Wow, so beautiful, Mimi, you are so happy!"
Hearing the anger outside, Song Ya hugged the quilt and felt a little more at ease. His wife has been busy recently and hasn't noticed it yet, but if he is still going around as crazy as last week, it will be a matter of time before he shows his feet...
Can't do this anymore, he fell asleep.
"Boss, Eremov is here."
His wife and the others had already left when Linda woke them up. After washing, Song Ya went out to meet Yeremov.
It was the beginning of September of 1995. WhateverYouLike was defeated by MJ's YouAreNotAlone one week after reaching the top of the B chart. Five years after his debut, this was the first time he had a head-to-head competition with MJ in single popularity. It also attaches great importance to the all-round comparison of the new and old black male singers of Sony Columbia Records.
He is backed by Netscape’s investment myth, and a single that shows off wealth is very suitable for the occasion, attracting countless imitators and followers. The old routine of the MV has added top consumer labels such as private jets.
He also introduced the emerging rap style Tarp, which ignited a big trend in the southern part of the United States where it originated. Music critics naturally like it. Well-known music critics like Philby are not stingy with giving him various "musical geniuses" Integrating the hip-hop master "Chicago Rap King" and other beautiful words, but there are also southern singers who sang DISS saying that he is stealing. There are also some small singers, such as local rappers in Chicago, who have also started various diss, calling him a mixed race, black-skinned and white-hearted, and disregarding the poor and the community in South City after he has money. No gang will support you anymore. Be careful when I will give you One shot or something.
The merger of MJ's ATV copyright library and Sony Music copyright library has also attracted much attention from the industry. MJ's historical albums have become more aggressive and more sophisticated, such as setting his giant statues on the Thames River. caught the attention of the media and the public.
MJ's state during this period is also very good, even more diligent than Song Ya who is busy with business and class, and has a higher exposure, and seems to have returned to the peak state before the 1993 case. The marriage between him and Elvis Presley's daughter is also blessed. In the MV of YouAreNotAlone, the two of them showed off their love for each other naked.
The song is soothing, beautiful, sweet, and its style is criticized by music critics as a bit old, but the audience is very happy with it.
From the current point of view, MJ still has to stabilize himself.
But the gap has narrowed again imperceptibly.
"Boss, this is the preliminary result of my negotiation with Catherine and Marvel."
Yeremov handed over the files for the Blade Runner project.
"Um."
In addition to 3DFX this weekend, we have to solve the problem of the Blade Runner project. Marvel is now in the same situation as the inner city broadcasting company earlier. Although the negotiation was very tough, it is actually on the edge of a cliff. There are rumors that if they do not make changes 9 Bankruptcy in six years.
Marvel has proposed several cooperation models. One is to package and sell the copyrights of the two black superheroes Black Panther and Blade Warrior and related characters, just like they sold Hulk, Iron Man and Namor to Universal in 1990. The asking price was more expensive, Catherine did not agree to play such a big role, and Yeremov was not interested in the role of the Black Panther, which required a grand scene to set off.
Then a long-term licensing agreement was signed. A+ Films and KM Films jointly obtained ten-year rights to use Blade Warrior and related characters, and released at least three films. The first film will be released no later than the end of 1996. The investment amount is not less than 100 million dollars, and the transfer fee is a symbolic 1 meter, but Marvel will participate in the film's accounting.
There is also the simplest movie-by-film licensing. Catherine would not agree to it, and Yeremov would not accept it. If the filming becomes popular, he will accept Marvel's sky-high asking price.
"At least 100 million meters in ten years, which means that my side will spend 50 million in ten years. You have done a good job, Yeremov."
Song Ya glanced at Yeremov, and it was more in his personal interest to do so. A+ Films had guaranteed an annual investment of at least five million yuan.
"Hey, Kathryn and I both like that model, the potential of the superhero series is exhausted after making a trilogy, and Blade is not Batman after all."
Yeremov cheerfully took out another stack of scripts, "Both Stan Lee and Gene Colan insisted on using David Goyer's script, and we have persuaded David Goyer to break away from him and Willis Streep and the new script." The alliance of the online film industry, this is a major victory. This way you don’t have to worry about the script, at least you don’t have to worry about the first one, the quality of the script is very good.”
"oh?"
Song Ya flipped through the script, "What's the good thing? I only see killing..."
"Isn't that what action movies are? You know the comic book community hates going too far from the original comic book setting, and Hollywood screenwriters have a lot of shit in this regard. David Goyer doesn't make such low-level mistakes. The project saves time," Yeremov said.
"Marvel still needs to participate in the account sharing..." Song Ya is not someone who is fooled casually.
"Hey, that's the point. Didn't you ask me to dig a hole for Marvel? They are eager to reach an agreement so that they can use the account sharing contract to go to the bank to raise funds to solve their difficulties. Catherine and I are not going to make it easy for them."
Yeremov smirked: "Don't worry, as long as the contract is signed, I will lose if I can get them a share of the money."
This sounds very good, "If your above boast does not come true in the end, then I will fire you Yeremov." Song Ya threatened.
"no problem!"
Yeremov, who has always been timid, is full of confidence this time, "I can even fight for better conditions, such as extending the authorization period from ten years to fifteen or twenty years, and they have little resistance."
Song Ya refused to fool you, "Isn't it? The alliance between David Goyer, Wesley Streep, and New Line was disintegrated by you and Catherine, but the alliance with Touchstone is still there. That kid has some capital now. Warriors have been coveting it for years..."
