Chapter 825 As Long as You Earn Fast Enough, You'll Be Fine
No. 6, the situation of the B list is as follows: Mariah Carey and Boyz II man's One Sweet Day airborne to the first place, and Whitney Houston's theme song Exhale, which also had the same empty crown, was squeezed to the second place. Song Ya's own I Gotta Feeling is the third, Mariah Carey's Fantasy, Dangerous Game theme song, Gangsta's Paradise fifth, R Kelly's You Remind Me Of Something sixth, Janet Jackson's Runaway seventh , eighth on TLC's Diggin' On You.
The media commented that this was the most exciting and intense week of the battle for the top singles on the B-list in 1995, and Mariah Carey was undoubtedly the winner. At this moment, she is stabilizing her husband APLUS and other albums in terms of chart performance and sales of new albums. Two DIVAs. The industry is very optimistic about the performance of her Daydream album at next year's Grammy Awards.
"Phew! Take a break."
After dancing Trumpets with the dance troupe, Song Ya gasped and gestured to the side of the stage. Dion Wilson and Al came to help him remove the wireless transmitter tied to his back and connected to the ear return and mini microphone. After taking the towel handed by Al to wipe off his sweat, he shouted to the director, Wu Zhi and other main creators sitting in front of the stage: "Let everyone wait for me, it will take about two or three hours to come back."
"Tomorrow will be the official performance." The director was not very happy, "Why are we rehearsing after you left?"
Hayden, Donovan, and Sandy Glenn finally negotiated the terms with Pai Kingsley quickly. As long as they sign a few legal documents in the past, the child with Charis will not be exposed. It is impossible for Song Ya to The pursuit of perfection in acting procrastinates.
Both he and Mariah Carey can feel at ease by signing things, at least the potential pressure will be relieved a lot. After all, it is not good for their careers to announce their divorce in a hurry before the awards season ends.
"Take advantage of this time to let the dance troupe practice cooperation again. You have changed people in the second round."
I just found an excuse, my concert requires a lot of backup dancers to sing and dance, and the male backup dancers who have been cooperating tacitly have been replaced by a young white man with a new face, and their performance is more natural in the gradually formed dancers Eye-catching, he noticed it a few days ago, "Where was the previous one?"
"I'm sick. We have no choice but to change people. This newcomer has absolutely no problem with dancing. He has been a backup dancer in Broadway musicals for many years..." Wu Zhi explained.
"Anyway, you should practice first.
I will go back as soon as I go. "
It's just an excuse, Song Ya didn't really want to embarrass them with such a trivial matter, "That's it."
After saying hello to his old brothers, he ran backstage to take a shower, and then drove to the set of No. In the name of Parker Lee, she secretly met with Parker Kingsley in the past. It's also number six, just such a coincidence.
"APLUS, congratulations, I heard that the box office of the second week of the cat and mouse game is also good."
I went there impatiently, and was stopped by Spike Lee to talk about the industry situation. Compared with the summer vacation, the Thanksgiving holiday has a very short window for high viewing numbers, and the movie will usher in about 30% to 50% of the box office immediately after the long holiday. For the decline, we can only wait for the next long holiday and the Christmas schedule. If we can persist until then and let the box office data follow a 'V' curve, it will be considered a complete hit.
The good thing is that there are very few strong opponents who start filming in the trough of the V-shaped curve, and the pressure of competition is not great. Waiting until the Christmas schedule, they will start a bloody encounter with the next wave of strong films that will suddenly concentrate on the top.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the second week of the cat and mouse game ushered in a 35% box office drop. With 11 million, it still ranks behind Toy Story and 007 Goldeneye, but the gap with Goldeneye is only within a million. .
The sequel of Detective Airplane Head and the President of the United States, which have been released for a while, fell behind, with a drop of more than 50%, and both were overtaken by Casino Fengyun.
By borrowing the inappropriate remarks of the candidates for the leadership of the Elephant Party, the box office performance of the money train was slightly saved, and the drop was a little less than that of the cat and mouse game. The box office was about 6 million, and it maintained the seventh place in the weekly ranking. ranking, but it is completely impossible to get back the 70 million investment of Columbia Pictures, and the tragic loss is a foregone conclusion.
"Yes, it seems that everyone likes this subject matter." Song Ya smiled.
"But you don't respect directors very much, and you make Ridley Scott angry, right? Members of our directors' union don't like that Linton of Hollywood Films very much now, and so does the New York Film Critics Association." Regardless of the director of the New York Gang Whether it’s filmmaking or life, Spike Lee is only a little better than Woody Allen, “And everyone doesn’t like you investing in an all-white movie.”
The "everyone" he refers to is probably the black group in Hollywood. Even if you spend your own money, you will definitely not get good things if you don't bring your own people to play. How to Stop This,' was the script of film critic Elvis Mitchell, and it ended up being wiped out."
Song Ya smiled and flirted with him, "Don't worry, next year I'm going to shoot Blade Warrior, and all NGers will shut up and lick my shoes."
"Haha! You have the final say if you have money." After pounced a few times, Spike Lee is now seriously lacking in confidence. Seeing Song Ya stepping up to leave, "By the way, leave some for me when the time comes...you know .”
"Understood, you give me the list of recommended actors in advance, as soon as possible, I have to take it to KM Films, which has been to Catherine, and I can't decide on all the projects." Song Yahun waved his hand nonchalantly , Seeing Linda who came out to greet her, she ran over in small steps.
The relevant people are all there, as well as the lawyer. Charis did not take off her costume. She is wearing the kind of high boots and black stockings that Manhattan's high-end call girls like to wear. With a rather revealing evening dress, the big white girl's good figure is fully displayed , but her face was quite haggard, and she huddled alone in the corner, her brows lowered and her eyes low, pitiful.
"Hey, how are you doing recently?" Song Ya looked at her lower abdomen. It should have been two months, and she still can't feel any signs of swelling.
She turned her head to ignore people.
"Is there a concert tomorrow?" Pai Kingsley asked.
"Stop chatting, we'll settle the matter right now, APLUS, you still have to go back to the rehearsal, right? Hurry up." Sandy Glenn, as the representative of Mariah Carey's interests, was completely unassuming in front of the "Little Three" side, with an attitude relatively bad.
"Okay." Song Ya sat down, took the legal documents from Goodman and read them.
He will give the child in Charis' womb 500,000 knives a year in child support. Like little Robb, he will pay every year after the paternity test is done after birth, and prepare a similar education fund at the same time. It's not mentioned.
In addition, she had to pay the liquidated damages for Charis' resignation as the unstoppable Miracle Girl 2. Her salary was very low, and the movie hadn't started shooting yet, so it was a small amount of money. Tom Hanks, who is nervous about his directorial debut, is sure to be upset, but that's something Pakinsley has to figure out.
In order for Charis to have an excuse to disappear in Hollywood for nearly a year, Pai Kingsley found a reason why her mother was sick and she wanted to go back to South Africa to take care of her, so Song Ya wanted to immediately transfer 1 million to her mother's account to pay them. Childbirth and other expenses in South Africa during this period.
"Does your mother agree?" Song Ya went through a rough review, and began to sign the document when she felt that there was no problem.
Charis shook her head, "She is very angry, but she can only accept having a depraved daughter like me."
"Fallen?" What Linda wanted to say was stopped by Song Ya's eyes.
There is also a house around Hollywood, so there is no treatment for Xuelin Fen. Linda and Goodman, who negotiated on their own behalf, are only willing to pay half a million dollars for a house. They can buy a very good single house these days HOUSE, as long as it is not in a neighborhood where housing prices are too high.
But Pai Kingsley must not only ask for these, Song Ya also has to provide some compensation for Charis' postpartum stardom. After all, according to Pai Kingsley, 1996 must be before her take-off. In order to give birth to a child, she He had to give up the unstoppable second female Miracle, the second female who Shan Shan didn't know if he could win in two days, and the important role of Blade Warrior that he had promised before.
The compensation plan for the A+ film studio is her role in Blade Runner. Maybe the crew can wait until she comes back through scheduling and then enter the group for filming. In other respects, Song Ya left the heroine of the new apocalypse movie football stunner to her. .
"It's a football movie. I'm talking about cooperation with Anschutz. I will play the male lead." The original male lead is the same person as the first movie in my life. That kind of facial paralysis acting skills are my best, Song Ya naturally Do my part. There was an apocalypse, and Anschutz was willing to pay part of the production cost. He had already let Yeremov concentrate on discussing cooperation with the other party, so buying the Chicago Fire football team was also put on the agenda, and this is the fight for the 98 World Cup The prerequisite for the opportunity to sing the theme song.
One ring and one ring, hehe.
"You are from South Africa, you can play football, right? Charis." He changed the document and continued to sign.
"A little bit, at school..." Charis said.
"Then take advantage of this time to practice more artisan-style performances, especially facial expressions, which must be vivid, wink, and cooperate with body language. This is your weakness. Football Stunner is a youthful campus comedy, and the script is written by me. I already have a draft, and I will start working on it early next year, and then someone will send it to you as soon as possible. Before that, you should practice Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. The football stunner is a modern adaptation of it, just like another big movie. The schoolboy movie Dominatrix is like a modern adaptation of Jane Austen's 'Emma'."
The original heroine is a girl with very, very good acting skills. She is lively, expressive, and full of vitality. She can easily switch between disguised as a man. She is not the most beautiful but very attractive, although she uses an artisan-style performance method that is more despised by academics. .
The so-called artisan school is to play roles through mature and rigid routines, models and formulas, without using any experience to observe the character's heart or turn emotions into a part of art. Such high-end technologies are often used by supporting roles in American TV dramas and youth idols.
In fact, Song Ya feels that no matter what kind of acting genre it is, it is not easy as long as it is perfect. The original heroine is undoubtedly the top candidate in that field. When I replayed it in my mind, watching her performance gave me another sense of enjoyment. The changes in body and expression were as precise as a top floor gymnast. The changes in expressions such as laughter, embarrassment, surprise, crush eyes, and lying looked like something Twisting, turning, and then front somersault plus tumbling, neat and easy, all in one go.
"Oh." Charis agreed.
She has an advantage over the original heroine in that she is tall, plays the main role of the school's women's football team, and is more convincing when dressed as a man. She is not as cute, but far more gorgeous, and looks like a man... Song Ya carefully looked at her, um , absolutely no problem, maybe it will be full of aggressiveness, hehe.
"Ahem." Sandy Glenn protested with a dissatisfied cough, thinking that he still had the mind to be infatuated with women at this moment.
"Well, I've signed it all."
As long as Charis and Pakinsley don't turn their backs, most of the crisis on their side will disappear, and Song Ya is in a good mood now. I am 1.9 meters, and Charis is 1.8 meters faster. How tall will the child be when the time comes? He even began to consider these questions in his mind.
"Then Charis, go out for a while." Pai Kingsley was also very satisfied with his generosity, and she still had some threatening conditions to implement, and she didn't want Charis to listen in person.
Dabai Niu glanced at Song Ya like a wronged little daughter-in-law, opened the door silently, and went out to join the fat follower outside.
Pai Kingsley was able to get some of the cast and crew agents of the Blade Warrior project to be packaged. Originally, some of the packages belonged to CAA. The A+ film studio was nothing more than replacing the internal agent of CAA with her. Yeremov Catherine has been persuaded.
Then she can still get the third part of my life, which should be filmed and danced in the future, and part of the packaging rights for this football stunner. In other respects, Song Ya will not give anything. She has already made a lot of concessions. Pai Kingsley If you still want to be greedy for more, then you can only turn your face and do it.
"How much is the budget for the football stunner project?" Pai Kingsley is also very satisfied. These three projects will definitely not be the kind of top-level productions that her subordinate Liangtang couple participated in, but as long as she has some brokerage rights, she can also make her The power in Hollywood has taken a big step forward, how many cast members will need to see her face to get a job?
A youth campus film is still involved in the football field that Americans don't like to watch. Even with Anschutz as an external investor, the production cost will definitely not be high. Besides, Yeremov intends to make a fool of himself who is not familiar with Hollywood. With Anschutz's hand, Song Ya raised his eyes and thought for a while, "I think it may depend on how much I get paid by then."
"Uh, okay." Pai Kingsley didn't get the answer, but she also knew that the amount of investment in a movie with APLUS in person would certainly not be in line with his status. Satisfied, she stood up and stretched out her hand, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation."
"Hehe, that's it. I'll go first. The road is very congested."
Being happy is not going to be happy, so it’s better to avoid it. Song Ya signed all the alliances under the city, shook hands and said goodbye, and hurried back to the stadium to continue the rehearsal.
I wanted to chat with Charis again, but it was Spike Lee's crew there, so there were too many people, so forget it.
"You installment plus one-time payment plus the promised packaging rights, over 10 million has gone out, right? In addition to the divorce and leaving the house..."
After finishing the hard rehearsal without distraction, Linda got into the shower again and asked through the glass door.
"Huh? Purify? It's not enough. I gave Mimi all those belongings voluntarily. There's no way, men should be responsible." Song Ya replied casually.
"You have just entered the rich list of America, I don't want to see you stay on the list for a year..." Linda should be out of her concern about the light of black people, "If you can't control your crotch, make more money. If a child..."
"How many? No way."
The first professional and the second professional, Garfiji's album income, and other song and song royalties, the record industry alone will definitely be able to earn back these two romantic debts when it settles its settlement early next year. Also, A+ Apparel has a good momentum this year. In addition to the loss of the counters that cooperate with Sears, this year's operating income will probably make up for the hole that A+CN will make next year.
The Netscape stock was about to exceed one hundred and twenty dollars, and the value of my stock there was rising at a speed visible to the naked eye. There are also other stocks such as Microsoft, Dow, and Cisco. The momentum this year is not a small one, but a great one.
The A+ venture capital managed by Dr. Chen has invested 10 million start-up funds in the technology industry, mainly Internet start-ups and Internet-related equipment and software vendors that 'sell jeans'. There are angel round A rounds, as long as ' Blind cat' meets another 'dead rat' like Netscape...
There is also the cat and mouse game that is selling well, and the sequel to Dancing My Life will be released on Valentine's Day next year, and the sales momentum of Gray Goose Vodka is also very good, although it is still too early to recover the investment of the A+ wine industry.
Dr. Mei also vowed to guarantee that 3DFX will definitely produce industry-leading commercial products in the middle of next year.
"In short, as long as I make money fast enough, everything will be fine, right?"
Song Ya raised her head and let the warm water wash over her face, feeling that all her physical and mental fatigue had been relieved, and she was so comfortable that she almost groaned.
