Chapter 1165: The Cold Mountain Road is impassable
Cold mountain (Cold Mountain, Cold Mountain), Song Ya's apocalypse fragments are a collection of such a movie, similar to the classic 'Gone with the Wind', it is also a world painting, love, and war story depicted and told from the southern perspective of the Civil War period, and the emotional portrayal of Cold Mountain is more delicate.
Like Xue Linfen's favorite, the 1958 book created by Jack Kairouac (Dharma Wanderer), Leng Shan also copied a sentence from the Hanshan poem on the title page: "People ask about the Hanshan Road, but the Hanshan Road is not passable", and they also try to pursue an oriental-style 'Zen' in the minds of the Chinese people in the text.
The leading actors in the play are all familiar faces, and the male protagonist is Jude Law, the male number one in the current popular TV series "The Pretender".
The heroine, the beautiful Australian wife Nicole Kidman.
The second female, Renee Zevig, the heroine who cooperated with Liangtang in 'Mr. Sweetheart' the year before last.
The third female, who became famous at the age of thirteen with the heroine of Luc Besson's directing work "That Killer Is Not Too Cold", and Natalie Portman, whose status soared last year with the heroine of "Star Wars Prequel First Series".
Indeed, as Yeremov said, this cast plus good war scenes is definitely not cheap.
And it seems to have some imprints of beautiful soup, and the director's style is ...... I can't see it in my own ability, but it will definitely not be the more 'familiar' Spielberg anyway.
The filming time, judging from the age of the leading actor, should be about five to ten years away from now, Song Ya is mainly judged from the changes in Natalie Portman's appearance, Natalie Portman, who is only sixteen or seventeen years old, is still very young and invincible, but Leng Shan looks at least in her twenties.
Jude Law is also more mature in appearance, and Renee Zeveger's appearance has also decreased a lot, but it may be that she deliberately pretends to be ugly for the role.
Australia's blonde blonde Nicole Kidman has an exposure scene, and Song Ya noticed that her face, especially the apple muscle area, was a little too full and smooth, and unnaturally stiff, as if it was filled with something.
Nicole Kidman is only a year younger than Xue Linfen, and she is thirty-one, so five to ten years later......
Alas, it is indeed time to use scientific means to support the appearance of the age.
"Sloane, have you made contact with Daniel's people?"
But this movie from the perspective of the south, it is inconvenient for me to publish the script according to the apocalypse, because the south supported slavery at that time, and Leng Shan, like Gone with the Wind, presented a lot of plots of the northern army burning, killing and looting in the south. Yes, although the Northern Army was more 'progressive' at that time, it was very cruel and ferocious to the enemy in the civil war, and even military discipline may have been a little worse than that of the South.
A+ Film Studio is also not suitable for the main production task, it is better to have a co-producer to attract firepower, then Song Ya is too lazy to care too much, at most, it will be the same as a cat and mouse game, just hold the final editing rights and finally wave the big scissors according to the apocalypse, and leave the rest to Yeremov and Xue Linfen, it is time to let them play their subjective initiative.
His main focus is on the main business of records and solving the new troubles of the American music website.
"Got in touch."
Sloan sighed on the other end of the phone after being told this possible bad news, "My fault, I really shouldn't have asked Bronfman Jr. to buy Latin TV, now it's okay, maybe just the loss of the market value of the IPO may lead to the loss of a TV station." ”
"What the hell did Daniel's people say?"
"It's inconvenient to talk about this on the phone, I'll go to Chicago to find you."
"You're flying around like that...... It's so tiring. ”
"I can only hold on."
As soon as he hung up the phone, Shakira walked in with a pouting on her unhappy face, "Why is Xue Linfen here?" ”
"Oh, I want to see the kids."
Song Ya replied.
Shakira was so angry that she threw her shopping bag on the couch and sat on his lap, sniffing around like a puppy.
"Hehe, jealous?"
Song Ya was very frank, he didn't do anything to Xue Linfen, although Xue Linfen had completely fallen and surrendered since she looked at her and heard her say 'She likes Hanshan poems'.
Song Ya felt that she would do whatever she asked at that time, but she still held back.
"No, your personal lawyer is taking a picture of them."
"Oh?"
Song Ya carried her on her shoulders and walked out, laughing, kicking her legs, struggling, scolding in English and Spanish, finally getting rid of her.
"Okay, another ......"
Song Zecheng smiled and took pictures of Robb, Jon and Little Arlene in the hall, Robb half-understood and hugged his half-sister Arlene, who was only a few months old and half-year-old.
Xue Linfen hid to the side with a smile, "Hey." She took the initiative to greet Shakira and was very friendly.
"Hello." Shakira's expression was complicated, "The media will talk nonsense, oh, don't forget what you signed with me!" But he turned his head and whispered to the man in protest.
"Don't worry, the media won't report it."
It's so good, it's getting more and more harmonious, Song Ya replied casually very confidently, and also went to take pictures with the children, but unfortunately Xue Linfen didn't bring little Sansa over, if you add the little Lega of his ex-wife, it will be perfect......
There will be a chance in the future, he thought to himself.
"I ......"
After Song Ya finished filming the father-son father-daughter relationship, Xue Linfen hesitated to ask closer, she actually didn't know what to ask, now she just had to wait for the order, maybe it would be easier in this way, she thought to herself.
"Leng Shan is one of the best-selling books in the United States in the past two years, you should go back to Los Angeles as soon as possible to cooperate with Yeremov to buy the film adaptation rights, maybe the adaptation rights of this level of bestsellers have been sold." Song Ya thought for a moment, then looked at Shakira and replied, "Robb and Jon stay with me for a few days?" I want to spend time with them. ”
"Hmm."
Xue Linfen obediently agreed, "Then I'll go, Shakira, goodbye." Mom is going to be away for a few days...... and then go and coax the child and say goodbye.
"She seems to have changed." Shakira remembered Xue Linfen, who 'occupied' Highland Park last year, and looked like a hostess who refused to give way.
"It's not because of you, goblin." Song Ya naturally didn't explain, "Mistress, go get to know little Robb and little Jon, right?" ”
"Hmm."
She also obediently went over to please her two sons, hugged and kissed, and offered to buy toys, Song Yale watched coldly, a little jerky, but the problem was not big.
"It's kind of tricky."
Ms. Sloan arrived in the evening, "and that's probably how it ...... now."
Infringement is currently rampant on the Internet, which is based on the concept of freedom and sharing, and publications and music are the hardest hit areas, but due to Internet speed restrictions, film and television are fine.
And even in the record industry, the current scale of online piracy in front of physical transcription CDs and cassettes is not enough, Beimi is not bad, because it suppresses the spread of VCD format, and pirated VCD discs in Asia have eroded the income of film and television, etc., and have also given rise to a huge VCD player market.
Of course, the format battle is not the point, with the launch of DVD, Beimi will not go back to VCD, and now there are contradictions between the two sides of interest, the six major record companies and the new Internet giants.
As a leader in this area, if Universal Music successfully acquires PolyGram this year to replace Sony Colombia as the world's largest record company, Bronfman Jr. will be able to establish his absolute voice in anti-piracy.
Even now, it's easy for him to ask the RIAA or NARAS to send a notice that 'infringing websites are prohibited from advertising'.
The first wave of banned lists are all relatively rampant small websites, many of which are sites set up by individuals, in fact, there is no motivation to advertise at all, and the only large-scale of them is scared by the ban, because they also want to take advantage of the Internet tide to go public and make money, and it is not good to carry the possible ensuing infringement lawsuits.
So soon, they issued a conscious rectification response and removed all the infringing music, keeping only the songs that independent artists voluntarily shared, and the consequence of this was that the number of user visits plummeted instantly.
This has a huge negative knock-on effect on American Music, because although investors pretend not to know, it is clear that if they follow the example of MP3 sites, the number of visits to American Music will also drop significantly. This is a very big negative in the Internet sector, which only looks at market share and clicks, and does not rely on revenue and profit to tell stories.
That's why Sloan said that he couldn't buy Latin TV, and Littleman Media itself dropped a TV station.
She also feels that there is a causal relationship between the two things, because Universal is suddenly actively leading the push for a ban, and other large music communities with similar trends have already gone public, and only Litman Media, where the American music website is located, is stuck at this very awkward time.
A typical stealing of chickens does not make a loss of rice, a typical unjustified disaster.
"How will Daniel help us out?" Song Ya asked.
Since Daniel has made an offer, there should be a way to drag the ban until after the IPO in April, and the former life coach has always been able to come up with unexpected and off-the-shelf methods.
His intermediary won't say anything, but I guess it's with the influence of other Internet companies, because just the ban on advertising doesn't hurt much in the short term, but it means that the Big Six are already looking for ways to break through the legal gray area on the Internet and start to do something about users' sharing. If it proves to be feasible, a series of copyright lawsuits await for publications, pictures, designs, etc. ”
Sloan analyzed: "The Internet industry can't afford to be surrounded and suppressed by the copyright of traditional industries, and now it's our turn to hold together." ”
"Damn, even then I'm going to be in a very awkward position because I'm a singer, I'm a record company owner, and I'm a fucking Universal label!"
Song Ya definitely can't sit back and watch the valuation of Littleman Media fall to a TV station, "So what is Daniel's offer?" ”
"It's nothing more than a quest for money...... As the former president of Sony Columbia Records, he was in an awkward position at the RIAA, the copyright dispute committee, the lawsuit between the Big Six, and the infringement of physical CDs and other media The Big Six have also been doing, such as cooperating with the local government to confiscate and crush pirated discs and other activities, and Internet infringement is a new problem, just caught up with him. ”
Sloan said: "If the copyright battle between the Big Six and the Internet intensifies, then his chairmanship will suddenly become extremely important, and he is not one of the Big Six, except for Baidai has some old friendships, and the relationship with all parties is not good, the Big Six will definitely not let him participate in such a critical legal battle, and he may not be replaced next term, maybe he will not wait for the end of his term." So he's going to take advantage of the fact that he's still in his seat to find an opportunity to get some more ......."
"So ......"
"So he wants to merge his record label with your Met Records, of course, to pick a less obtrusive opportunity after he leaves." Sloan said.
"He wants to be beautiful."
Not to mention that Metropolitan Records actually hides its own collection of 'apocalypse singers', the future is limitless, even now, Jazzy and Foxy Brown are singers who have sold platinum albums, the leading figures in the New York hip-hop circle, and the real girl of destiny has also come out, even if the rhythm and blues plus hip-hop girl group has a declining trend under the competition of teen pop genres, it is not comparable to Daniel's collection of a group of nameless street rock singers who have broken the record label.
Merge? Then I'd rather lose a TV station!
"It's not going to work." Song Ya shook his head resolutely, "I can find a way to give him a sum of money." ”
"Daniel is not very old, he will not be lonely after leaving the RIAA, and he is not short of money." Sloan said.
"Well, anyway, since I'm on the line with him again, let's bargain first."
