Chapter 784? Rage

"Maybe, a few years ago, I was on the cover of Seventeen magazine..."

Song Ya sat in the corner of the front row of the theater. When the high-class prostitute played by Xue Linfen appeared on the big screen, he tilted his head slightly to observe the reactions of film critics.

The old white men were very focused and couldn't take their eyes off them.

Xue Linfen's face of a famous actress in the golden age of Hollywood combined with the current popular post-softening filter technology, her frown and smile are full of charm. It can be said that from the figure to the appearance, the original actress is completely crushed. When she slowly put her hand to her mouth, she looked at the audience in front of the curtain with captivating eyes, then, with her lips slightly parted, she bit the fingertips of the silk glove, and almost sucked it off...

Song Ya heard someone in the back row breathing heavily.

The male protagonist Jared Leto is not as handsome as Xiao Li, but his acting skills are really good. He well expressed the secret joy of the young people who think they have been hit by a romantic relationship. into his room.

As soon as the scene changed, the flirting process in the middle was omitted by the big scissors, and the two had already passionately kissed each other.

Song Ya rolled her eyes and automatically filtered out this paragraph.

The completion of the game of cat and mouse made him feel very strange. Compared with the first apocalypse movie Dancing Out of My Life, except that the investment was a little more

, his control and focus on the project is much weaker, which leads to the final result being far from the original, even with the big scissors and post-remediation.

The length of this movie is fifteen minutes shorter than the original version. The plot of the male protagonist participating in a variety show at the beginning of five minutes is completely abandoned. There is a five-minute disappearance, which is the second half of the film depicting how he was arrested in France and worked for the FBI after his arrest. This brought the film to the full two hours required by Budweiser Pictures, not counting the five-minute final subtitles.

The orchestral soundtrack based on the simple melody I provided is quite different from the original version, but the sense of hearing is strangely similar. The screen performance, camera style, and cast are all different, but the other flavor presented is not bad. In fact, Jared Leto does not have the innocence of Xiao Lizi, but after he was released from prison, his long-haired and bearded image is more persuasive than Xiao Lizi's vicissitudes and sufferings.

Now Amy Adams is younger and more beautiful, and it is more suitable and lovable to play the ignorant little nurse.

Ashley Judd is prettier than Ellen Pompeo in the original version, with a sweet smile that is not lost at all, and the sex scene with the male lead is equally good.

Another actress inserted by Harvey Weinstein, the girl who snatched the role of the bank teller from Charis is much worse than the original actress. If the method is not performed well, it is just a small episode and does not affect the overall situation.

The second male, John Malkovich, presents the role of FBI agent more...sophisticated and sophisticated than Tom Hanks, which has something to do with his appearance. Even if he wears intellectual glasses, he is not as good as Tom Hanks Sri Lanka's unique natural and harmless perception of humans and animals.

Jeremy Irons' third male lead, that is, the male protagonist's father's lines are more sonorous and powerful. His speech before bankruptcy is more passionate than Christopher Walken in the original version, and after bankruptcy, he behaves more downcast than Christopher Walken. It doesn't have the forbearance of the other party's strong demeanor, but it stimulates the audience's emotions more directly.

It's all... not bad, Song Ya feels that film critics and film award judges will like it, after all, what Ridley Scott filmed, and he modified it based on the original film by an unknown director .

"You want to play cards?"

Xue Linfen and Leto sat on the bed, she suddenly got up and went to the table to pick up a deck of cards, Leto asked.

"How much did you pay for it?" Xue Linfen in the close-up asked back with the poker in her hand.

"Fifty-five cents? It seems to be." Leto didn't know why the beautiful woman got rid of the lingering question and answered this question blankly.

"How much are you willing to pay if they sell me in the small shop downstairs?"

The courtesan used a suggestive question to reveal the true face of a high-class prostitute, and some viewers who substituted for the male lead made regretful Wooo noises that their luck had changed into a money transaction.

"I'm sorry, I... what am I willing to pay?"

Leto was also confused at first, but he was playing the legendary liar Abagnale, and he quickly reacted, but didn't expose it immediately.

Small movements, subtle expressions, body postures, Leto's presentation is different, and the result is the same as Xiao Lizi's, they all convey this subtle inner emotional change to the audience very clearly.

During the conversation between the two, the non-stop front and back shooting was almost the same as the original version. There are some "paradigms" in the Hollywood film industry assembly line that are basically not transferred by the director.

"whole night……"

When Xue Linfen said this to the camera, she was so flabbergasted, "How much are you willing to pay me for one night?"

But in all fairness, in terms of acting skills, she is far from the original actress. After the original actress said this, her expression changed slightly. She was ashamed, embarrassed, and sad...but she didn't want to expose her inner loneliness in front of the guests. .

For money, the fake courtesan tore off her disguise in front of the handsome boy and turned back into a prostitute, and the mutual attraction between men and women turned into a money transaction. She would always feel a little sad.

Xue Linfen didn't show such subtle emotions at all. In order to give birth to little Robb, she rested for too long. Besides, Song Ya didn't find that she had this ability in those bad movies she made before, and she never had it.

But the win is that the face is pretty, and the old white men like it very much.

After some haggling, the hero offered a sky-high price of $1,000 a night in the 1960s, and the prostitute happily agreed.

"Wait here, I'll be right back."

The male lead rushed to the door, and the prostitute thought he was trying to make an excuse to run away, so she anxiously asked, "Wait, where do you want to go?"

"I'll go downstairs to cash the check." The male protagonist blocked her gaze with his body, took out a stack of checks, and put away the small denomination ones, leaving only a $1,400 check.

"The hotel won't cash you a check for $1,000 at 3:00 in the morning."

"What I have in my hand is a New York savings and loan check, like gold, they will cash it." The male protagonist turned around, took out his fake check and waved it triumphantly.

"They will definitely be suspicious, let me see! It is indeed a cash check, why don't you just sign it for me?" The prostitute's eyes lit up.

"NO, I can't just give it to you. The price we negotiated is 1,000 knives, and the denomination of this check is 1,400."

The prostitute played by Xue Linfen threw away the cards in her hand, "I'll give you 400 dollars, okay?" She reached into the chest of her evening dress, took out a stack of cash where prostitutes like to hide money, counted out 400 dollars and handed it over. Give it to the male lead, and exchange the check...

"Hahaha!"

The swindler's wonderful improvisation, the prostitute who thought she was smart after being slept all night, when the two reached a deal and kissed again, the audience burst into laughter.

"This girl is so pretty."

When Charis, the blond girl with big white hair, fell drunk along the wall while reading lines stupidly within a few seconds, there was another small-scale laughter in the auditorium, and Song Ya heard someone muttering to himself in the back row.

Hey, it's already my shape, Song Ya secretly smiled in her heart.

"What do you think? Daniel?" When the film was over, the professionals who watched the film generously gave a standing ovation. Yeremov brought some of the main creators who came to Chicago to stand up from the front row and bowed to thank them.

"It's very good. If you have the ability to catch me, the title of the film fits the cat and mouse music style." Daniel praised from his perspective, "At least this project of yours doesn't seem to lose money, can you get an award?"

"I don't know, the quality of the film itself is one aspect, and the public relations is also one aspect." Song Ya looked at the big film critic Roger Albert who was expressionlessly putting a small book in his pocket in the distance, and said in a low voice.

"Anyway, I wish you success."

Daniel patted him on the shoulder and smiled.

"You must go back to New York tonight? Then I will let the crew take you, Linda, you can arrange it."

The order in the theater began to be chaotic. Some people came to shake hands with the main creator, talk about the pros and cons of the movie, and some people chose to leave. Song Ya called Linda to her side and gave some instructions.

After sending Daniel away, he went to Roger Ebert to ask about the score, "It's a good movie." The big film critic, who received a lot of PR benefits from A+ Pictures and Hollywood Pictures, said matter-of-factly, "But I like David more. Have you seen the movie The Seven Deadly Sins of Fincher?"

"I watched it." That movie was indeed very powerful, "Jealousy, rage... the murder case connected with the seven deadly sins, David Fincher handled it brilliantly, religious elements, thrillers, suspense, and dramatic conflicts are unparalleled. "Song Ya nodded.

"The performance of the villain Kevin Spacey, wow, he deserves an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, no one can compete with him." Roger Ebert smiled meaningfully: "I heard that he also auditioned for Cat and Mouse game?"

"Yes, the male second, but his image of a villain with a high IQ, madness, and self-destructive tendencies in that movie may be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for a long time, and on the contrary, he may not be suitable to play a positive role in the cat and mouse game." Song Ya answer.

"Hehe, it makes sense, but he really did a great job." Roger Ebert ended the conversation.

"Leave him alone, he will give our movie a good rating and a good review, and we will definitely succeed!"

Yeremov also came over after the entertainment. He was very excited and whispered to Roger Albert's back.

"I hope so. Mr. Linton, yes, my side has just finished, how is the reaction in Los Angeles?" Song Ya was answering Linton's call, "Is Ridley Scott very angry? How angry? Yes Film critics said to his face that he was imitating Spielberg's style? Isn't that true? I don't feel it..."

In short, it is too late for the director to get angry now. Linton is putting out the fire there. Just try to persuade him not to release news that is unfavorable to the box office and the award before the release. Ridley Scott should be able to understand... right?

Yeremov began to summarize the evaluations of the professionals on the scene, and generally expressed their satisfaction with the film. Of course, this is generally not enough. They praised them face to face, and what they will write in their own columns afterwards is another matter.

But the next morning, Daniel called, furious.

"APLUS! What's going on!? I just heard that Mariah Carey suddenly wants to get the copyright of her song back into the Sony-MJ deal!? Don't you guys make this kind of decision without consulting me first?"

"WTF? No, I don't know." Song Ya was stunned.

"You call her right now and ask! I'll be embarrassed if you do this! You know that Sony has every right to add the copyright of both of your songs to the ATV copyright library merger with MJ. The addition of the copyright of your songs will make Sony paid MJ a lot less cash, it was me! It was me who kept telling them that you two are very determined, if they force this, you and Mariah Carey will definitely cause trouble or choose not to renew the contract, so they dare not act rashly! Now it means that I acted as a villain in front of the parent company for you, but then I was sold?"

Daniel said faster and faster, "You know APLUS, because of that antitrust lawsuit, Sony has a lot of dissatisfaction with me. If this company is compared to a person, he just won the DVD standard dispute. Victory, he has lost a lot of real benefits, and he is very upset now! He is full of anger and has nowhere to vent!"

"Don't be angry with Daniel, let me ask you first, okay?" Song Ya hung up the phone and hurriedly called his wife.

"Yes, I asked Sandy Glenn to do it," Mariah Carey replied lightly.

"Why are you doing this!?" Song Ya yelled at the phone, "Daniel is now a human inside and out by you!"

"Punishment, remember? My rules..."

She was quite proud, "My song, my copyright, I can deal with it as I want, you have no right to interfere. Oh, by the way, and, I just watched cat and mouse game in New York, you put Xue Linfen Beautiful shot with Amy Adams and that stupid drunk white chick who starred in a lot of your videos right? Drunk with Fergie in Chicago? Don’t think I don’t know anything!”

'Bang! ’ The phone was hung up.

"Daniel, uh... Mimi did this." Song Ya called Daniel back with a full head.

"Fxxk!"

"You haven't left Chicago yet, have you? Wait for me, I'll go back to New York with you."

Daniel helped a lot in this matter. He told the Sony leadership that APLUS and Mariah Carey firmly disagreed to add the song rights to the deal with MJ, very firmly. Now that Mariah Carey withdrew, it meant that his words were just an excuse to deceive others, what would Sony think of him?

"It's not like this APLUS, your alliance with Mariah Carey has collapsed, then I can no longer protect the copyright of your song, you wait for Sony to add your song to the merger deal with ATV! And follow me The unlucky NAS, his manager Newman, and those little singers!"

Song Ya hurriedly led people straight to New York, and Daniel clarified his attitude again on the phone, and no amount of persuasion would work.

Is this the retribution of his crazy derailment? She didn't have any evidence, and instead she was beaten in a crooked manner. The punishment was more severe than the last time she was caught at the scene?

"Where's Mimi!?"

The phone couldn't get through, Song Ya rushed into Tribeca's house, only his wife's manager Sandy Glenn was there, "You egged her on behind my back, right?" He was so angry that he pulled Sandy Glenn's collar Stop, "You didn't completely fall out with MJ did you? You're still doing things for MJ!"

"It's none of my business, APLUS. I persuaded her. She has been talking about punishing you and punishing you. Didn't I remind you quietly? After watching the cat-and-mouse game last night, she was very angry. No one can persuade her!" Sandy Glenn showed innocent eyes.

"Cheat a three-year-old!"

Song Ya let go of her hand, "No one made indirect remarks, how could she suddenly think of this incident, I don't think there will be any accidents at all, I almost forgot about it completely! But this is not a small matter Sandy! It caused Daniel to suffer Isn't Sony's crisis of confidence hurting her? We're living comfortably in our alliance with Daniel!"

"Anyway, I can't control it. You can persuade her yourself, she went to the banquet held by Sony Music Copyright Company and ATV." Sandy Glenn gave an address.

"Mimi..."

Song Ya casually changed into a formal suit and went straight there. His wife was holding a wine glass and talking to a man with a smile. When she saw herself, she rolled her eyes and turned her head away.

"APLUS, APLUS..." The man turned around with a mean smile on his face.

"It is you."

It turned out to be MJ's lawyer Aaron Brugman, the guy who leaked the content of his conversation when he met MJ. He was almost kicked out by MJ because of his complaint, but MJ was hit hard by the 1993 case. Instead, he trusted him even more. In short, he was an enemy, and his relationship with Motura was still very good. "Go away, Mimi and I have to talk alone." Song Ya was too lazy to pretend.

"OK."

Aaron Brugman walked away slowly with a glass of wine in his hand. Just as he was about to pass by, he suddenly said in his ear, "Kid King."

"What?" Song Ya didn't hear it very clearly, and didn't understand what it meant.

"Kids king, remember APLUS? MJ told you back then, when a group of kids get together, someone will use some tricks to make themselves the king of kids..."

Aaron Brugman raised his glass, "ATV and Sony are honored to share half the copyright of all your music, wish us a happy cooperation."

"Hehe..." Song Ya tried her best to suppress her anger, trying to raise the corners of her mouth to reply with a few harsh words, but she couldn't think of a suitable counter-word at all, her mouth opened and closed again.

"Sorry, excuse me." Aaron Brugman observed his reaction and was even more proud.

"Hmph." The remaining two faced each other, Mariah Carey pouted and looked at the sky proudly at forty-five degrees.

Many people nearby noticed this, and Song Ya turned around and left.

"Where did he go?" Mariah Carey waited for a while, feeling something was wrong, and caught up with Linda who was at the end. "What kind of attitude is he!? Is it reasonable?"

"Stupid girl!"

Linda used the explosive power of a black aunt to grab her arm and dragged it half a circle, "Sometimes, in certain things, a man can never lose, do you understand?"

With his hands in his pockets, Song Ya walked out of the banquet hall. There seemed to be paparazzi outside and the flashing lights were on.

Old Mike opened the car door, and there was the sound of high-heeled shoes clattering from behind. He put an arm on his arm, and he lifted his arm up and shook it off, and got into the car.
