Chapter 885 Full Blood Resurrection and Sloan's Conspiracy Theory
"Hey, Jim, those things you've got people saying aren't doing my lucky man a great disservice."
"Haha, don't say those hypocritical things that the guest's remarks have nothing to do with you!"
"Didn't everyone throw away a little bit? I'm not alone..."
"I know, I know that you have always taken care of me... Yes, Dr. Chen also said that your new project with A+ wind into the Bureau is great."
"Okay, I apologize for my attitude just now, I just... ok, ok, get it... that's it?"
In the blink of an eye, the next weekend arrived, and the sequel of Dancing Out of My Life had a total box office of nearly 9 million in 1,000 theaters in 9 days and 1 night. However, the performance is still far below the expectations of investors. The total box office of Beimi is about 30 million yuan. If the overseas attendance rate is also the same, the global box office can only guarantee a profit, and then rely on advertising revenue such as A+ clothing, TV broadcasting and video tape income. Wait to make money.
In addition to the quality of the film itself, it seems to be dragged down by the changing tastes of the audience. This Valentine’s Day schedule, North American audiences generally don’t buy romance films. Champion Zhou belongs to the modern war action film “Broken Arrow”, directed by the most successful Chinese-American Commercial film director John Wu directed it, starring veteran actor John Travolta.
The other movies ahead of the Dancing Out of My Life sequel are either family comedies or dramas.
Dancing Out of My Life Sequel and Pretty Woman are both unlucky.
There are too many investors; too many follow-up films last year caused audience fatigue; after the filming was completed, the waiting time for the schedule was too long, and Universal Pictures experienced a high-level change in the middle, which led to half-hearted announcements; the script was not strong, and the art film director Stephen Gillen Hal is not good at making this kind of commercial youth musicals; the hero and heroine have no chemical reaction; even the popular small-screen idol actress Jennifer Love Hewitt is still worse than the first Chinese monoclonal antibody box office in terms of fame and box office appeal APLUS is too far away; APLUS himself can't even try to shirk his responsibilities, the original soundtrack of the film he personally composed again is not as exciting as the first one, and he must not have tried his best...
Just as there are always reasons for stocks to fall in a big bear market, film critics and the Hollywood media have summed up a lot of reasons for box office failures. And Song Ya had only one feeling: Why didn't that old man Simberg get out of Universal earlier! ? This project is led by him, and the script actors are all created according to his opinion, so everything is his fault!
Of course, the current president, Ron Meyer, will not take the blame for the problems left by Simberg. He then notified that the filming plan for the third part of my life will be temporarily suspended until the producer A+ Film Studio and Amblin Entertainment submit an order. He is satisfied with the script.
David Geffen is not in the mood to continue making small troubles, and Geffen Films hinted that it will withdraw from the investment in the third film.
He said to focus on DreamWorks.
Bad news spreads frequently, Jennifer Love Hewitt and the team behind Gosling are crazy, Universal can be okay, Amblin Entertainment and Geffen Pictures can be okay, A+ movie studios can be okay, there are many art films with honors The director can also be indifferent, but the two of them can't. This is the first time they have entered the big screen as a leading actor.
From now on, they should do whatever it takes to create buzz and salvage the box office.
But Song Ya's mood was not affected at all. The project had been delayed for too long, until he didn't feel it anymore. After Daniel left, he returned to the Sony Columbia Records headquarters in New York, and the other party finally agreed to settle the settlement.
Hang up the phone with Jim Clark, "Where did I sign?" He hummed and continued to sign the document.
Throughout 1995, Song Ya and Fergie's new albums and singles accounted for the majority of A+ record revenue, and there were Song Ya and Fergie's first albums and singles, Dance Out of My Life, and the soundtrack of Cat and Mouse Game. Continued sales revenue share.
Song Ya personally still has a lot of song and music royalties, such as Malibu, which was put into the best-selling Daydream album by Mariah Carey, Stepup in the original soundtrack of the Star Dream Tears movie, and the female voice of Empire Heart in Ano's unplugged concert Solo versions, songs for Fergie, Donnie Braston, et cetera.
In other aspects, he also has a lot of income from tours, commercial performances, advertisements, etc. (these are not settled by Sony Columbia Records, but they are written together to save trouble).
In short, after excluding the costs of legal affairs, finance, and brokerage company share, and leaving enough operating funds for A+ Records, which had a substantial increase in expenses in 1996, Song Ya once again "printed" for herself exactly 54 million cash.
Hey, Stanley Chase said that Picower made 100 million in a month, look, didn't I also make 100 million this month? Or cash.
Don't panic with the huge sum of money in your hand, Song Ya is secretly proud, feeling that she has been resurrected with full blood, and this year is another perfect start, "Happy cooperation, Mr. Kali."
He stood up and shook hands with John Carley, president of Columbia Pictures and interim president of Sony Columbia Records, across the conference table.
"Congratulations to APLUS."
In any case, John Carley was definitely not as close as Daniel was when he was in power. After the two parties finished a series of business affairs, he expressed a few words of congratulations and ended the meeting.
"Tell me, why did Sony suddenly stop delaying the settlement?"
Song Ya was not too complacent, and asked when she returned to Tribeca's home to rest, "Their behavior is a bit weird, isn't it?"
"It's very simple. You got more than 50 million in cash from Picoul, and it doesn't make sense to block your cash flow."
Samuel smiled and replied: "Your financial situation is very healthy. No matter what troubles you encounter, the difference between 50 million cash and 100 million is not big, and it is enough to deal with it."
This guy has made his way to the top of the Coopers accounting firm, and now he will only appear in important settlement occasions of this scale today.
"Exactly." William Morris's Donovan nodded, "You are strong enough, they are friends, you show your weakness, they are enemies, because no matter how slow they are, now they can be sure that you have no chance of renewing your contract."
"So they still have the intention of harming me?" Song Ya asked.
"Business is business, don't worry about what they think, just watch what they do." Hamlin nodded his forehead.
"Analyze it, Ms. Sloan, use your little brain of conspiracy theory learned from Washington." Song Ya joked to Sloan: "I think you are very silent today, and you have been thinking about something."
"The turbulent political situation is often triggered by some trivial things..."
Sloan did gain something, she said: "Let's try to analyze, during your second fight with Motura and Sony, what is the trivial, but surprising little thing?"
"What?"
Song Ya recalled, "I didn't feel anything... That hard copy magazine that suddenly attacked me and Mimi? They used Paramount's channel resources, but Mr. Redstone was very busy, and John Carley said that from Paramount Sherry Lansinger, president of Mongolian Films, didn't ask anything."
"Is that a trifle?" Sloan asked.
"No...it doesn't count." It's not a trivial matter anyway.
"I sorted it out a little bit in my mind, and it felt like there was only the missing Broadway dancer..." Sloan reminded.
"The guy who unplugged my headphones on stage at a concert?"
Song Ya remembered, "It's just embarrassing me in public."
"Yes, I imagined myself in the perspective of Motura according to the timeline. I feel that it is impossible to isolate the incident, otherwise it is meaningless."
Sloan said: "Get rid of Daniel and get Motura back to Sony Columbia Records. That's almost a sure decision. You resolutely fight back and the two sides go to war... If I were Motura, I should not be exposed in front of Sony. I want to destroy one of the most profitable singers under the company, but I hate you so much, I will definitely plan a perfect plan in my mind, and then wait for the right time to execute."
"Well, that dancer has dealt with Wesley Snipes on Broadway, and Wesley and Motura have teamed up to deal with me a long time ago. That dancer should be hired by them." Song Ya nodded.
"According to the performance of Sony Columbia Records, it won't take long for them to hold you for settlement, so this plan should be launched at the beginning of 1996, or earlier, but it was disrupted by your reduction of Netscape stock to cash out."
Sloan continued to imagine: "No, maybe it will be launched at the end of last year, but Motula didn't expect your counterattack to be fast and hard, such as exposing photos of his ex-wife and daughter, using discriminatory language in the recording to launch a protest against African Americans in New York. The demonstrations, and the fact that the capital of the capital retreated under pressure, so it has been delayed again and again..."
"What does that have to do with letting me make a little embarrassment at a concert that was not broadcast?" Song Ya asked.
"If it were me, I would probably arrange for a fan to hide in the stands below and secretly record the video. When the time is right, release it to hurt your popularity. Once the scene of the car accident is too bad, it will ruin the popularity of the fans, and it can even make the media intensive. Bring you to the rhythm of a recording studio singer and a repeat criminal... Have you forgotten how Paula Abdul quickly fell from the status of DIVA because of the accusation of acting as a singer? Even if the lawsuit was won, it would be too late. Long gone."
Donovan said.
"At the same time, use various media negative reports to damage the public image of you and Mrs. Song, Mrs. Song in the recording of that phone call..."
Hamlin was also enlightened. At that time, Mariah Carey had no reaction to Motura's discriminatory terms. The time for the hearing has been set long ago. When Dan Burton suddenly launched treason charges and you fell into the same serious criminal lawsuit as MJ and Simpson, it happened that Sony could help block your cash flow. Maybe There are other sinister methods that we don't know about."
"Wow……"
Song Ya frowned, feeling a little chill on her back, "So it's because of my decisive series of fierce counterattacks at the end of last year, as well as the media influence I bought, bowing to Jesse Helms, and surpassing them commercially. The projected success that didn't materialize? It's kind of dangerous in retrospect."
"Almost, all of your responses are excellent, you can score an A-." Sloan nodded.
"Is it that low?" Song Ya asked with a smile.
"You haven't completely defeated your enemy APLUS," Sloan said. "And threatening the Motura kid, who is Italian, is a bit low."
"I didn't. Besides, he attacked my family first."
Samuel was still at the side, Song Ya pouted and denied it, "All these assumptions come from your conspiracy theory just now, even if it is not far from the actual situation, Motura has now lost his chance forever..."
"Anyway, don't take it lightly. You have to get rid of the Bahn chemical case and the hidden dangers we just mentioned as soon as possible."
Sloan warned, "Demberton's evidence is already in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and now Jesse Helms is just dragging, the trigger still on his finger."
"Well, you can rest assured of my mobility, Ms. Sloane."
Song Ya nodded, "Then cancel tomorrow's party, I will rush back to Chicago tonight, and try to find a way to meet and chat with Old Barn as soon as possible."
"OK."
When Song Ya took people to prepare to leave for the airport, a brief news was sent back to the mainland by the MI Associated Press.
On February 24, two planes belonging to the Brotherhood of Rescue, an organization organized by Cuban exiles, crashed in Cuban airspace. The lives and deaths of the four Cuban-American pilots are unknown.
