Chapter 830 No Regrets
After a good night's rest in Los Angeles, after hanging her throat the next morning, Song Ya started to practice dance moves again. After the "back-of-ears incident", he was a little suspicious, refused vocal coaches and dancing fingers, and practiced on his own. He has been in the industry for five years, and it is easy to get it done.
Exhale, inhale, exhale, inhale...
After the practice, he sat on the beach in Malibu, adjusted his breathing, looked at the blue sea, and let the sea breeze dry his sweat.
"Boss." Yeremov trotted over, "Do you have time today? Have a meal with Hong Kong's famous director Stanley Tang at noon and chat? He accepted the invitation of me and Catherine to come to Los Angeles."
"No time."
Now I don't have the mind to care about these things, Song Ya shook her head, "I want to minimize going out, Linda and Anschutz's people are coordinating with the tour team, asking them to sign a stricter non-disclosure agreement, otherwise I won't even go to the rehearsal You can decide for the director of Blade Warrior. If you decide on him, you can invite him to the party here after a while, and mimi will have a series of scenes before the filming of Star Dream Tears."
"Really? That's a pity."
The boss didn't want to take care of things, and Yeremov's mouth crooked with joy, "Catherine is not in a good mood right now, you promised Pai Kingsley part of the package service of Blade Warrior, and Harley, Taraji, Charis It's all stuffed into the project, and Hayden won't let go of your tens of millions of salary, and Harley's salary will also stand in the 2.5 million range..."
"I know, give me the phone."
Song Ya thought about it, called Hayden in front of him, and simply and rudely ordered her to make a little more concessions in her salary. In short, she couldn't offend Catherine and her husband because of the cooperation project that should have deepened their friendship.
Yeremov was even happier when he heard Hayden's aggrieved agreement on the other end of the phone, "Don't worry, Stanley Tang will not reject a Hollywood superhero action movie with an investment of 30 million dollars. Since he is willing to come to Hollywood, this kind of It was an opportunity he couldn't refuse."
"Have you decided to use him?" Song Ya asked.
"Not yet. Catherine is very cautious and needs to meet and talk. It just so happens that Stanley Tang came to the United States to participate in the premiere of Ann Lee's Sense and Sensibility." Yeremov replied.
"Um."
The older generation like Wang Ying who made the Joy Luck Club is not counted. The most successful Chinese director is the pioneer of violent aesthetics. He has already filmed John Wu, the ultimate target, with a production cost of 20 million and 7000 With a box office of 5 million, it was a big success, and now there is no need to worry about not being able to play, and it has indirectly improved the overall status of Chinese directors in Hollywood.
Followed by An Li, he got the guide tube of Jane Austen's famous novel Sense and Emotion as soon as he made a move in Hollywood. This type of film is generally reserved for the powerful creators in the United States and the United Kingdom. I heard that it will be the awards season next year. One of the biggest hits.
Next is Stanley Tang, directed by him and starring Jack Chen, the action film Red Fan District sold 30 million box office in North America this year. There is no doubt that the funds and the main creative are pure Xiangjiang action movies, and it is not easy to get this result.
In the video tape rental market, this film is also extremely popular among blacks, and my cousin Tony especially likes it.
According to the stereotypes of Hollywood filmmakers such as Yeremov and Catherine, John Wu is good at shooting gunfight action movies, and An Li is a literary star, so Stanley Tang is the most suitable director of Xiangjiang to direct Blade Warrior. Red Zone or Police Story 3 are both kung fu action movies in a modern setting.
After being interrupted by Yeremov, Song Ya continued to do business after resting, and met with the director of the Los Angeles branch of the Inner City Broadcasting Company. This place is not as keen on talking about politics and serious social topics as colleagues in New York and Washington. It's more light-hearted and entertaining, and the tone of the entire West Coast radio is generally the same.
Even if the Los Angeles branch has little influence in Los Angeles, Song Ya chatted with this fifty-something African-American media person about cooperating to attack Motura, and then received a call from Gordon.
"evening News……"
Gordon hesitated to speak, "Continue?"
"Come on, don't hesitate Gordon, there's nothing to hesitate about this kind of thing." Song Ya encouraged him.
"Of course I won't hesitate. Zero tolerance for discrimination is my code of conduct, but an old friend just came to me and seemed to be helping MJ spread the word." Gordon said: "Imply not to make too much use of it."
After the copyright library incident last time, I asked him about the possibility of attacking MJ, so he knew his attitude towards MJ in private. Motura is the manager of MJ. It is not surprising that Gordon has such doubts. "Don't worry, you don't need to involve MJ. This is a personal grievance between me and Motura. You should also know the ins and outs. I don't want to see you discouraged now, understand?" Song Ya warned him.
"What does bet say? They are also responsible for keeping up." Gordon didn't want to fight the boss again on this matter. "Why don't I go get in touch and attack simultaneously on the evening news of our two stations."
"No, no! Don't! I won't take the initiative to find Johnson this time, and you don't want to ask the old relationship over there. You just said that we have zero tolerance for discrimination. Bet is the most successful black station with the largest number of subscribers. They have the responsibility to keep up, instead of waiting for us to bow our heads and beg someone to act." Song Ya refused.
"We need friendly forces aplus, until now, the white mainstream media has remained alarmingly silent."
Gordon persuaded: "Have you considered that Mr. Stringer, the former president of CBS, is about to join? CBS is one of the three major stations. Stringer alone is enough to do all of this. Sony launches a large number of products on Quanmi every year. Advertising, fortunately they belong to Benzi Capital, otherwise I guess it will not be far from the media control of big advertisers like Nike and Coca-Cola, and the personal influence of Motura, the energy of this combination is terrifying, and we need Johnson very much.”
"I'll beg him when I need to, but not yet, and isn't Johnson afraid that I'll fail and start complaining about him publicly?"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Song Ya happened to test his ability to withstand stress. It has been more than two years since the 'rebellion', and the lucky win that time was far from a complete victory. "I have been preparing for today for two full years. It's the same with Motura, we both know that this battle will happen sooner or later Gordon, this is not a battle that can end in a day or two, let's take our time."
"Well, I will increase my efforts on the evening news, and I hope there will be a good result." Gordon said: "To be honest, I haven't heard the full version of the recording until now, so don't make a reversal at that time. ... It's not that I don't trust you aplus, you are the boss."
"Then do it!"
Song Ya hung up the phone, "It's so long-winded to ask you to do something, really!"
In the last rebellion, the old man Schulhoff gave himself a godly assist based on his personal interests, and he was lucky to win without going all out. This time, Schulhoff was "decently resigned" one step ahead of Daniel, and he finally wanted to I regret it.
With a firm will and strong fighting spirit, he complained about the most powerful media person under him, walked back to the villa and started calling to coordinate.
"It has to be perfect."
On the night of the 11th, Linda, Sloan, Hayden, Delay, Scout and other necessary subordinates gathered at the Malibu villa, and the meeting had been going on for a long time. Bet hasn't moved in the past two days, not to say they haven't reported the incident, but people in the circle can tell at a glance that they don't want to make a big deal out of it.
In other respects, the mainstream media was a little loose under the pressure of Song Ya's series of black media, but it was also an understatement and an attitude of making big things small. Motura did not take any countermeasures against itself. According to Gordon's judgment, Sony's strategy this time is to first resist the three tricks that have delayed its own side, let the mainstream media report a round in a low-key manner, and wait for the decisive battle. The media has reason to continue to ignore it.
Motura is a master of public opinion, and the future president of Beimi, Stringer, is even more so, but Song Ya also has Gordon on his side, and he is reasonable.
"uh-huh?"
Mariah Carey was rushed in by Brenda and others, and when she saw a large group of people, she immediately greeted them enthusiastically, showing face in front of them.
"Honey, come here." Then she called Song Ya into the master bedroom, and immediately changed her face, "I can't have a meeting here tomorrow, I'm going to hold a celebration party after the screening, and after they leave, put things away." Pack up and go to the guest room to sleep."
"oh."
Song Ya agreed, turned around and prepared to go back and continue driving.
"Wait, you..." She stopped the man and asked with some hesitation: "Is this useful for you? I feel... Your strategy doesn't seem to be very successful?"
"It's still early." Song Ya replied.
"Early? It's only ten days before the long Christmas holiday. Daniel can't do anything at Sony Columbia Records. Even his own people who he put in are watching. Newman also asked me to restrain myself. Your main recording... will It involves me. And Dave Hall, aren't you afraid that he will be bribed by Motura to bite you back?" she asked.
"I won't allow him to involve you."
Song Ya stopped and said to herself, why is your EQ online again now? She was such an unstable woman. She kept her back to her and said, "Dave Hall dare not betray me. He was frightened by me a long time ago. Motura isn't threatening him enough."
"Okay then, you...Be careful." She still couldn't help but care a little bit.
"Well, anyway, I don't want to leave any regrets this time, even if I might lose badly."
Song Ya helped her close the master bedroom door.
