Chapter 165: Wielding the scissors again
‘I don't want a lot for Christmas,There is just one thing I need,I don't care about the presents, Underneath the Christmas tree……’
Christmas is coming, the streets and alleys begin to echo with the songs of his ex-wife, Song Ya's rehearsals have also come to an end, some musicians have the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Christmas concert tasks, others have a holiday until the 28th, and then the Symphony Center Concert Hall for the last on-site rehearsal of Baba yetu, Nos. 1 to 3 officially as a mat performance for the New Year's concert.
"Happy Holidays! Is little Rhaegar okay? ”
Song Ya got out of the car with large and small gift boxes in both hands, kicked the car door closed, and talked to his ex-wife with his mobile phone between his neck, "Did Pierre bring him my Christmas present?" ”
"I seem to like it very much, and I'm holding it, hum ......"
Mariah Carey lazily asked, "Have you been to New York this month?" ”
"Well, how do you know?"
"Don't you stop by to see your son in New York!? Rise? She was energetic and asked, "I'm very busy at the end of the year, so I don't have much time to spend with him." ”
"It's just a rush to talk about two business, and the time is too rushed." Song Ya explained.
"Liar! Someone sees you at the Waldorf Astoria for a charity auction...... Obviously very idle. ”
"It's just a social exchange that can't be avoided."
"Hehe, continue to cheat, it's to accompany a woman, right? Who? ”
"Uh, do you mean tall or short?" Song Ya asked deliberately.
'Doodoo ......'
The phone was hung up.
"For little Robb, Aunt Susie, and of course your ......"
The relatives in Highland Park were all there, and they were already dressed up for the festive mood, Susie took Connie to prepare the food, Tony and the silencer set up a big and beautiful Christmas tree in the living room, and little Robb ran around the two of them to help out, handing trinkets to hang on the tree.
Song Ya handed over the gift box to Xue Linfen.
"Don't you stay with your family for Christmas?" Xue Linfen complained unhappily, "Why don't I take Robb and Jon to Los Angeles with you?" ”
"No, I've got something to do."
"Charlis, Hallie, or who's the business?" Xue Linfen is yin and yang.
Song Ya glanced at her suspiciously, she wouldn't have shown jealousy so obviously before, "There is really something serious, I don't need to hide anything." ”
It's only been a few days since the arrival of the Littman Publishing House, and he has to quickly and quietly drum up the educational film of the girl next door who is inspired by the apocalypse movie, because that kind of film is highly replaceable and must not 'leak the secret', Yeremov has long asked the legendary star Chishilauers's erotic film company to shoot the 'material' well, but he can't edit it, so he chose Zack Schneider, who has been supported by him for many years and can be trusted, to do this.
Zach has not been informed in advance of his requirements for the finished film, and in order to avoid leaking as much as possible, the footage is locked in the safe of A+ Film Studio, waiting for him to handle it himself, so he has to go to the cutting room in Los Angeles to guide Zach in editing.
Xue Linfen sighed, "Oh yes, Mrs. Flock is here, and she is in the study with Miss Sloane. ”
"Oh?"
Song Ya went upstairs.
'Mr. Bronfman Jr., you're the chairman of the board of directors of Universal Music, right?' ’
The two girls were watching TV intently, and they didn't even react when he entered the door.
Sparked by Marilyn Manson's blasphemous and offensive religious album, the Senate hearing of Big Globe boss Bronfman Jr. is underway, 'Yes, Mr. Senator. The level of this hearing was much higher than that of his own participation, and Bronfman Jr. adjusted his microphone and replied respectfully.
"This noble son is very photogenic." Sloan took a sip of his coffee and commented, "Huh? His wrist suddenly cooled, and he looked down to see a sparkling lady's small diamond watch being put on by Song Ya, "Van Cleef & Arpels?" She recognized the sign.
"Thank you for all your hard work all year." Song Ya smiled gentlemanly and kissed her closely.
"I'd rather you just give out the bonus." Sloane was arrogant, but the act of flipping her arms and appreciating betrayed her heart.
"You're a hypocrisy, Sloane."
Alicia who was sitting on the sofa complained, she looked at Song Ya and was even more upset when she found that the other party was empty-handed, "This is my law firm's legal report on A+ audio company and A+CN and other companies this year, goodbye." She took out the papers and left them on the desk, got up and walked out the door.
"I can't give you anything valuable, Madam Governor." Song Ya's hippie smile stopped her.
"I don't need to, get out of the way! Be respectful! APLUS……”
"Hahaha!"
After a short period of time, her mood had turned one hundred and eighty degrees, and she laughed and grabbed the thin blanket on her chest with her hand, "Bye, Sloane, happy holidays!" Leaning behind Song Ya, he said goodbye to Ms. Sloane, who was already dressed properly, with his chin resting on his shoulder.
“Bye……”
Sloan stroked his hair, made a 'blue pool' mouth gesture to her, opened the door, and handed the duffel bag to old Mike outside, "I remember calling little Bronfman after this hearing and complimenting her." ”
"Remembered. Bye, Mike, and have a great holiday. ”
Song Ya also said goodbye to old Mike, the old man would take his own private jet with Sloan and some security personnel to go home on vacation, but in fact, the old man had another major secret mission, leading the team to wait for the opportunity to kill Motula, of course, to find an opportunity, if you can't create a perfect accident, you won't force it.
"Hmm."
The old man looked at him in tacit understanding, and left with Miss Sloane.
Mawota took over and stood guard at the door.
"Haha! Don't ......"
As the door closed, the laughter of the governor's wife could be heard faintly inside, and Mawota unhurriedly took out the CD and listened to it as he pleased, putting on his headphones. Soon it was Christmas Eve, and he drove his boss to Charis's Los Angeles residence, "Charlies, Halle, Amy, I miss you so much...... Happy holidays! Most of Hollywood's companies are on vacation, and looking at the back of the boss hugging him upstairs, he shook his head slightly and smiled, and then continued to perform his work faithfully.
The next day, Song Ya arrived at a cutting room in Universal Studios in a low-key manner, and began to wield scissors again after the cat-and-mouse game, instructing Zack Snyder to edit an educational film.
"No, no, the font is enlarged a little more, move it here, and block the key parts."
"Yes, actually I just need the previous demo paragraph on how to do a good job of protection......"
"Don't cut this paragraph, cut this paragraph, this paragraph...... Keep it. ”
Chichilauers' company, which runs in the San Fernando Valley, certainly doesn't use film to make that kind of film, and the two of them sit together in front of the editing machine used for the television station, discussing and working very seriously, deaf to the strange images and sounds in the footage.
Zach is already the co-director of the Blade project with a budget of tens of millions, but the basic skills have not been lost, and it is easy to cope with this level of editing, and in one morning, a rough cut version of 90 minutes has been cut according to Song Ya's requirements.
"Take a break, Mawota, has the pizza been delivered?" Song Ya opened the door and asked Mawota to bring in food and drink.
"I'VE GUESSED WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO, APLUS."
Yeremov prepared not only the two footage shot by Chishilauerz, but also some educational subtitles and narration prepared by A+ Film Studios, and it would be hypocritical for Zack Schneider, the substitute editor, to be unable to react.
"Can I trust you? Zack. Song Ya stuffed an old version of the educational film into the machine, stretched, and watched it with Zach while eating and resting.
"Of course, thank you for your trust." Zach blinked.
'Boys and girls need to protect themselves at the prom......
The old version of the educational film has completely failed to keep up with the times, and it also follows the ancient atmosphere and concept, putting the first time point for young men and women to give each other at the high school graduation prom, in fact, the first experience of many middle school students in this year is much earlier, and the whole film is also dominated by boring and unlikable young people's condescending preaching, and the tone of the narration even reveals a cliché resentment and helplessness.
I know I know that you young people are all balabalas after prom now, but I still don't recommend balabalaing before marriage, and it's best to leave it to your wife or husband balabala......
"You want to replace it with this one of ours?" Zack Schneider asked, "It's long overdue, I don't even remember seeing this version when I was in middle school." ”
"Right? What do you think of my idea? Song Ya asked the guy who was the first to know what he really thought.
"Awesome! But my name can't stay on the list of creators. Zach praised it, but he didn't want to be known that he had anything to do with this kind of film.
"I know, it's good to use Alan Smithee." Song Ya nodded, "Thanks, give up the Christmas break to help me." ”
Alan Smith is the default pseudonym in Hollywood, some directors, screenwriters and other main creators will use this once they don't want to sign the movie, it has become a convention, A+ Film Studio will also not appear in the producer, Yeremov has prepared a bag film company name, registered in the San Fernando Valley, held secretly by A+ rights and asset management company, and will let Littleman Press be responsible for lobbying, promotion, distribution, and even re-editing according to the requirements of the state education department.
"It's okay, as long as it's your business, I'll do my word at any time." Zack Schneider showed his loyalty and asked, "Are you really ...... Hollywood legend that you didn't even come here to meet Director Cameron, even if you talked about it once, you voted for him 60 million? ”
"Pretty much."
Song Ya didn't want to talk about this, he knew that all of Hollywood was about to laugh to death now, and almost no one was optimistic, "How is the Blade Warrior going in the later stage?" ”
"It's going well, and there will be no problem with the summer file." Zack Schneider replied, "Do you want to ask about post-production and editing?" ”
"No, I trust you."
He won't meddle in projects without the apocalypse, speaking of which, the Titanic is also scheduled for the summer season, and his two projects are about to crash......
Fortunately, the subject matter is very different, an epic disaster movie, a black superhero action movie, and there should be no major conflict among the moviegoers.
"Go ahead, we'll get it done today, and the final film will be controlled within sixty minutes."
The educational film to be played in class should not be too long, so Song Ya threw the empty pizza box into the trash, wiped her hands and continued to work.
'Same-sex behavior should also be protected......
Zack Schneider watched as he slid the trackball on the editing table and inserted the female narration in front of the relevant paragraph.
Subtitle ......
"This one cuts, this one ...... Keep it. ”
Song Ya kept putting forward opinions, the degree of conservatism varies from state to state, and the content of same-sex education will depend on the situation of Litman Publishing House according to the situation of each state, and he is only responsible for serving the food to the table.
Zach was very professional, staring calmly at the two men in the picture, focusing on the cut.
"Boss?" Mawota's voice rang out outside the door.
"What's the matter?"
Song Ya's voice did not fall, "Hey! APLUS! I got you! The door to the editing room was suddenly pushed open, and David Geffen walked in happily, followed by a large group of people.
"I ...... Fxxk! ”
Zack's face turned pale, he pushed the trackball, pressed the button, and tried to turn off the screen that the clipper was playing, but he didn't succeed, and turned up the volume.
Song Ya turned his head with a long mouth, in addition to David Geffen, there were Spielberg, Catherine and his wife, and the famous screenwriter David Cape......
Stiff! The group of people who entered the door stopped, looked at the picture and listened to the sound, neither advancing nor retreating, and Song Ya, you look at me, I look at you.
Their faces first showed surprise, and then the corners of their mouths turned up, and their smiles were subtle.
'Smack! With a bang, Zach got behind the clip and pulled the power cord directly, and the picture and sound finally disappeared.
"Ge...... Mr. Geffen, Mr. Spielberg...... You...... How did you guys get here? Isn't there a holiday? ”
The embarrassment and shame were a little less, and Song Ya breathed a sigh of relief.
"Jews don't have Christmas."
Spielberg replied.
"APLUS, APLUS oh my little APLUS......" David Geffen muttered and sat down next to Song Ya, putting his hands around his shoulders, "Don't be nervous, we understand, watch something else to relax after work, it's nothing." ”
"I did it when I was younger, uh, but the type of watch is different, poof......" Spielberg softened his cheeks, but couldn't help but smile as he spoke, and sat down in the last row with his mouth covered.
"Not what you think......" Zach came out from behind the machine with a grim face.
"Don't talk about this, don't talk about this."
David Geffen waved his hand with a clear face, and stared at Song Ya's eyes with Gay's angry gaze, "David Cap heard that you are in the editing room, you must come, what new ideas do you have for Blade Warriors, tell everyone, it just so happens that Catherine and his wife are here." ”
Song Ya looked at David Cap, who liked to pull him to talk about screenwriting and movies as soon as they met.
"I want to learn to learn, absolutely sincerely, you know APLUS, my debut novel mutation failed at the box office, fiasco!" David Cap had a serious look on his face.
"Uh......"
I really didn't use the Blade Warriors! Why did you break into my cutting room all of a sudden!? Song Ya wailed inwardly, "I didn't want to ...... Scissorblade Warriors"
"It's okay, we're not here to ask the teacher, it's just ...... Just take a look. ”
Catherine and her husband said in unison, "We know your editing skills, right, Steve." Catherine looked at Spielberg.
"Uh-huh." Spielberg is still laughing!
Damn it! Won't cat-and-mouse games that make them ......
"It's really a misunderstanding." You can't argue that it was cut according to the original film of the apocalypse, right? Song Ya could only say this, and by the way, he moved his body away from David Geffen, and the big guy got closer and closer, and his eyes moved...... In short, the momentum is very wrong.
"Oh, don't do that, APLUS......"
David Geffen thumped his chest wryly in disgust, "I know, I know I'm a little old...... Forget it, you talk to David Cape. Zach ......"
He got up and went to find Zack Schneider.
Zach was already slumped in his seat, looking loveless.
