David Geffen negotiated a return to Los Angeles that day, and on March 20, Song Ya arrived on the back foot.

The Titanic led the Man in the Iron Mask with a box office of 50,000 knives in North Rice, and won the civil war of Xiao Lizi, in fact, the audience's enthusiasm for the big ship has faded a lot, and their interest in Xiao Lizi's new movie is even higher.

It is rumored that Fox Film has used some 'small means' to continue to set a record of consecutive championships, because this is the most dangerous week before the Oscars, and it is a pity that the consecutive championships are broken.

“APLUS！ Are you here for the Oscars? ”

"APLUS, WHY IS YOUR SECOND SINGLE A SPANISH SONG?"

"Are you in a stable relationship with Miss Shakira?"

Song Ya walked out of the airport with Shakira in his arms, squeezed out a smile and waved his hand to the reporters to signal that he would not accept the interview, he was in a bad mood now, David Geffen had arranged a meeting with Bronfman Jr. Because Bronfman Jr. temporarily changed his itinerary and flew directly from Tokyo to Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Bronfman Jr. should have gone to meet with Philips and PolyGram, in addition to the anti-piracy and Digital Millennium Act, the current focus of the record industry is around the PolyGram acquisition war.

Sony Columbia Records has little motivation because its own investors are too busy to take care of themselves, and EMI, like Polygram, has suffered serious losses due to a large proportion of the market in Asia, where piracy is rampant, and Warner's parent company, Time Warner, and BMG's parent company, Bertelsmann, have focused on the Internet and media industries.

At present, the only suitable buyer for PolyGram is Universal Music, and Bronffman Jr.'s ambition to form the world's largest record label is likely to succeed.

Coupled with the fact that the cup of life of the new special two singles that he just released was cold in China, and the Spanish language plus football elements, the people of the United States did not buy it at all.

"Shall we go together?"

After getting in the car, he asked Shakira. He was going to send Robb and Jon back to San Marino, Sherin Fenna.

"No, I'll be waiting for you at the hotel." Shakira hesitated for a moment in reply.

"Hmm."

The Malibu Beach house, the Beverly Hills house, the San Marino house, and Charis's little house, so many houses in Los Angeles and then you have to stay in a hotel here, "Then you have a good rest, and you have to catch a plane tomorrow morning." Songya kissed Shakira, then yawned and pushed the door open for Robb and Jon's car.

"Mr. Geffen, what shall we do now?"

The main target has not been seen, and it seems that the RIAA is about to start a new round of voting in a few days, and this time there is absolutely no chance, with the power and great future of Bronfman Jr. in the record industry today? He personally ordered it? The RIAA simply couldn't resist.

Daniel and Doug Morris only dare to 'vote again next week' as Bronfman Jr. said, delaying the interval from about ten days? Anyway, literally in the range of next week? Give yourself a little more room to maneuver.

If the advertising ban comes out, I will have to live for the tens of millions of dollars that have evaporated for Litman Media.

"You got the World Cup theme song in Lausanne and went to Amsterdam immediately? I'll make excuses too. ”

David Geffen was also a little anxious, "Little Mr. Bronfman will stay there for a long time." ”

"Okay."

Barely in time? Song Ya should take it down.

"Aren't you going to keep an eye on it?" Agent Estéphine watched Songya's convoy drive away? Ask Shakira: "It's a bit dangerous for him to go to Xue Linfen." ”

"Forget it." Shakira pouted and replied, "He's been honest these past few months, and I don't want to be that kind of girlfriend who is too pestering." ”

"Huh."

Estéphine could certainly see Shakira's mood, "Then you are so unhappy?" ”

"I don't know."

Shakira leaned her head against the window in loneliness? "He's good to me? But I was always busy, going to law school, busy with homework, rehabilitation, spending time with my children, dealing with various businesses, meeting lawyers, managers, business partners, waking up early and going to bed late. Sometimes I feel like I'm just a furnishing around him? He likes to hug me and keep me by my side no matter what he does? But attention is always elsewhere. ”

"That's why he became a billionaire at such a young age, there are no shortcuts to success." Estéphine smiled: "You want to understand? It's good to get through this year, won't he always be so busy? He is now anxious to regain his pre-shot popularity, business and social connections. ”

"After this year's ......"

Shakira has pessimistic expectations for the future? But for now, there is still a fluke.

"Mommy!"

Robb and Jon are naturally closer to Sherlyn Finn? In Highland Park, he has been clamoring for his mother, and when Song Ya arrives in San Marino, he immediately shakes off his father's hand, abandons him mercilessly, and both of them fly to his mother who is waiting at the door.

"Boss ......"

Song Ya was indeed very busy, and Yeremov, Donovan, and Hayden and others were also waiting for him here early.

"Don't forget this." Song Ya handed over her eldest son's small schoolbag to Xue Linfen, and the woman was dressed up brightly today, but ......

"Huh? What happened to you? He noticed that Xue Linfen was a little sickly.

"To wear Dior's haute couture evening wear."

She smiled wryly, "I've been on a diet for days. ”

"It's just an award, you don't have to torture yourself so much." Song Ya could also realize that she valued her appearance at the Oscars very much, and casually persuaded them a few words, and then held a meeting with Yeremov and them.

"This is the ...... of Touchstone Records"

Yeremov first introduced the senior management of Touchstone Records, the partner of the Cold Mountain project, and the two sides have reached an alliance to jointly fight for the right to adapt the film, and the half of the capital will be invested in the future, which will be handed over to Disney's distribution company Bowei.

Disney's other two labels, the old partner Hollywood Studios, are now strangers because of Linton's departure, and Miramax is also suspicious of Disney boss Eisner because of the Weinstein brothers, and Linton, as a 'royalist' descendant, is naturally not happy to see good projects handed over to Miramax.

"Who are our opponents?" Song Ya sat down and asked.

"The main opponent is Liang Tang's CW Pictures, who are backed by Paramount's Shirley Lansing." The touchstone responder replied that its resources in Hollywood are definitely much larger than those of A+ Film Studios.

"Isn't Shirley Lansing about to leave? I heard that Lei Shidong has arranged for the senior executives to be parachuted in and ready to take over the old woman at any time. Song Ya asked.

"At least not yet."

Shirley Lansing should be the same as the former president of Universal Simberg, who is currently in the stage of taking advantage of the power to fly in his hands, and he does not shy away from rumors of lace with Liang Tang, and the touchstone person explained: "The Liang Tang couple and the author Charles Fraser have met many times, and he likes to get the adaptation rights very much, and Charles Fraser seems to be very satisfied, especially he is very optimistic about Liang Tang's wife Nicole Kidman as the heroine." ”

"Hmmm......"

Song Ya closed her eyes, the heroine of the original movie is Nicole Kidman, it seems that the world line is very stubborn, "so beautiful to ...... herself"

Of course he wants to play the male lead, but the couple is currently busy with the super director Kubrick's eye-opening project, and they are lacking in skills, and the start time of filming should not be able to satisfy Charles Fraser, and he and Cold Mountain's publisher Atlantic Monthly tend to start filming as soon as possible.

Yeremov added good news: "Shirlene also had a good chat with Charles Frazier, both of whom are fans of the author of the beggar, Jack Kerouac. ”

Wen Qing saw Wen Qing with tears in her eyes......

"Then Miramax is also doing small actions, British patient director Anthony Minghella was actually the first to contact Charles Frazier, he and Harvey Weinstein have been friends for many years, the sincerity and temptation of the Oscar-winning director are enough, but there are also the same problems as the Liangtang couple, Anthony Minghella is already preparing another project, Harvey is busy adapting and filming the magic masterpiece, the Lord of the Rings by the great British writer Tolkien, and it will be at least next year for the main energy to devote his main energy to the Cold Mountain project."

The people at Touchstone Pictures said: "There is also the famous Chinese director Ang Lee, who is currently cooperating with Universal Pictures and Riding with the Devil is about to be closed, which is also a Southern perspective film with the background of the Civil War, and then filming Cold Mountain should start soon, and it can also save some production costs, Charles Fraser himself pursues the ideological background of Zen, he should be happy to see the Oriental director shoot him." ”

"Wong Kar-wai Charles Fraser, whom Xue Lin recommended, also likes it very much." Donovan said.

"Yes, he talked to me about evil and poisonous things, and he knew Wong Kar-wai very well." Xue Linfen finished busy with the children, and brought tea and water to everyone with a smile.

"So the main rivals are Universal, Paramount, and CW Pictures, and then Miramax under the same parent company?"

Song Ya folded his fingers and summed up.

"Pretty much the other companies have been in contact with The Atlantic and Charles Fraser, but according to our intelligence, these are the ones that are ahead of us, plus one more Columbia Pictures."

The touchstone man nodded, "Charles Fraser is now asking for screenwriting rights and then participating in the full film editing." ”

"Not too much, right?" Song Ya asked.

"It's not too much, he's the original author, and he's one of the most popular best-selling authors in the whole country, Leng Shan is very suitable for making award films, and he has also gathered a very large group of book fans."

The touchstone man replied: "Everyone should agree, we have no advantage in this point, but ......" He glanced at Song Ya and stopped talking.

Worried about my big scissors, right?

"I won't do anything bad......" Song Ya's words made everyone laugh.

Originally, didn't the cat-and-mouse game sell because I pulled it back to the track of the original film of the Apocalypse? And the original film of Leng Shan......

In short, the final editing rights of A+ Film Studio can't run away, and the distributor, Bowei Pictures, has trusted itself since the cat-and-mouse game, and then let's see the finished film.

"Okay, then you keep trying."

Song Ya didn't have the energy to care about too many details, "Is there anything you want me to help with?" But as you know, it's very inconvenient for me to take the limelight with this kind of Southern perspective film. ”

"We'll take care of it, don't worry."

"That's good." Song Ya thought about it, and the other competitors ...... He hung up on the spot to John Cali, president of Columbia Pictures, "Mr. Cali, I'm APLUS...... Well, I heard ......"

"Columbia Pictures promised not to compete with us."

Song Ya asked John Cali to sell himself a favor because he forcibly promoted the football stunner during his coma, "And then the DreamWorks side will not be involved, I can only guarantee this." ”

"That's great, it's already good."

The people at the touchstone were pleasantly surprised, and they complimented everyone along with them.

"Hmm."

The meeting continued to open for a while, and it felt like Song Ya looked at his watch.

Sending the touchstone giver out of the door, Song Ya took advantage of the turn to pinch Xue Linfen's face.

"Here, help me get an award outfit." Sherin Fen smiled and took his hand.

"Then we'll go too." Donovan, Hayden and Yeremov also immediately took their leave.

"Oh yes, wait."

Song Ya stopped them, and took out the brief script that he had taken the time to copy from his briefcase, "This is for you, Yeremov, find someone to plump up the script and set up the project as soon as possible, so that Xiao Lizi can start work." ”

"Is it the girl next door? Okay, I'll give the script to Xiao Lizi's agent right away. ”

Yeremov briefly flipped through it, then took the script in his arms and left.

"What the hell is this? The male protagonist I play is filming a sex education film? ”

On the 21st, Song Ya and Shakira rushed to South America again, and Xiao Lizi also received the script that Yeremov asked his agent to hand over, and he was furious, "Didn't you say that there was no exposed picture?" What's the matter with me running naked by the hostess's car? ”

"Isn't there a tire in the way, not exposed?" The agent is also full of lawsuits, "According to the contract you signed, A+ Film Studio is not a breach of contract." ”

"Let them change! I don't shoot these, and I don't like to go back to playing high school students! ”

Xiao Lizi, who was hailed by the media as a 'box office bomb at the end of the century', is now in the most inflated period, and how popular he is is ...... For example, as long as you hook your finger at any party, any woman, and give a slight hint to it, you can take it away on the spot, and there is almost no experience of rejection, and every woman, regardless of age, background, or even whether she is married or not, wants to be Jack's Rose, even if it's just a dewy relationship.

"What's the use of you regretting it now?! Who told you to sign what Yeremov gave you without looking at it! ”

The agent also yelled at him, "Don't mention this, you have to attend the Oscars, don't be a little temperant, what's the good of offending those old judges?" At least perform well and leave them some impression points. ”

"Fourteen nominations, as far as M-FXXK is concerned, my male protagonist doesn't!"

Xiao Lizi was worried about this, "And you are not allowed to speak to me so loudly in the future!" Beware of me firing you! ”

"Hah!"

The agent was used to being strong, and laughed loudly in the face of his threat, "Without me, you can be as beautiful as you are now?" Don't forget how hard I worked to get you to finish filming the Titanic! According to your eyes, I'm afraid I have lost confidence in Cameron for a long time......"

"Shit!"

It's okay not to mention this, Xiao Lizi became angry when he thought of being forced by the other party to see APLUS, "OK, you were fired, effective immediately!" Go talk to my lawyer! ”

He picked up the phone and called his personal lawyer while he was drunk.

"Don't ...... Don't be like this, Leo, I worked hard to build you, you can't turn your face and don't recognize people when you're popular! ”

The agent panicked when he saw that he was serious, and hurriedly chased him out.

Xiao Li didn't care, strode out of the door, and just happened to bump into the vast number of paparazzi.

"Leo, will you be at the Oscars?"

"Are you and Kate boyfriend and girlfriend in real life?"

The paparazzi surrounded him and asked questions.

"No, no, no! Because of what, you know? ”

Xiao Lizi replied impatiently: "I don't want to steal the limelight from others!" Let the focus of the Oscars be shifted to an actor who was not nominated! ”
