Oprah's Hap Pictures was established in 93 and is a subsidiary of Hap Entertainment, unlike Song Ya's almost empty shell A+ film studio, Hap Entertainment has a whole Emmy-Award-level TV production team that began to precipitate from the production of Oprah's talk shows, behind the scenes to the front of the stage, and the team is not weak even if it is used to make movies.

And Oprah is very patient, starting with making TV movies for ABC, and only three years later is finally making a move, and is currently working on a movie called 'Before Flying High'.

The trick of shouting for a black art film with a production cost of 40 million is too arrogant and tempting, Song Ya originally planned to pay the top film and television adaptation licensing fee, and then use the name of the Oscar for adapted screenplay, as well as the successful precedent of A+ Film Studio, to personally go to Toni Morrison to make friends, know the benefits, and use his advantage to please the old lady to persuade the Nobel Prize winner in literature.

But not anymore, Toni Morrison was clearly more moved by Oprah's vision of presenting a high-budget epic film of black blood and tears.

If Oprah's decision was made by herself, this woman is indeed a good opponent, and she is quite resolute and has the demeanor of taking revenge without overnight.

"It's a bit fatal, even if we find other film companies to cooperate with this offer, we have to share 20 million, and Blade doesn't cost that much as a superhero commercial film."

Song Ya went to Yeremov and complained: "And which company is willing to share 20 million for a black art film?" ”

"yes, that woman is crazy." Yeremov echoed, "Go back and rest, boss, don't dwell on this matter anymore." ”

"Go back? I don't even know how to tell Hallie when I get back. ”

Damn it, I knew I wouldn't talk so much to Harry, but now it's okay, "Think of a way, Yeremov." ”

"Uh...... If you have to grab the adaptation rights, find a little more allies to share, and then use the reputation established by Dancing My Life and the cat-and-mouse game to melt the money of external investors as much as possible, but this kind of deal will not last long, and it is a bit wasteful to use reputation on an art film. ”

Yeremov shared his worries for the master, "The enemy of the enemy is a friend, maybe you can ask Jodie Foster to come out and talk, she is white, and she will definitely not be able to steal Hallie's position as the heroine, there is no fundamental contradiction between us." ”

"Makes sense."

Slipped into July with a casual drag, two-time Oscar-winning actress Jodie Foster reacted positively, she brought her girlfriend Sidney Bernard to visit the set of Blade on location, yes, she is a lace edge, her mother is, after giving birth to her, she left the father and daughter and ran to elope with same-sex true love, well-informed people in Hollywood know it, but they have not come out publicly.

This undone Hallie's preparations, and she had planned to try to sell her hue to get Jodie Foster.

“Cute。” Jodie Foster, dressed in a simple white shirt and blue jeans, coolly lifted her chin to the heart-shaped gap in Hallie's chest in her boyish voice.

"Thank you." Harley and Songya hug the two.

"Wow, you're really strong APLUS." Her girlfriend Sidney felt the muscles under Song Ya's elastic vest, joked very well, and poked her fingers.

"Hey, hey, hey......"

Song Yahan smiled, originally wanted to say that if Harley didn't succeed, she would try it herself, maybe the queen of the movie would be eaten by both men and women? But now there is no chance.

Today, the location of Blade Warrior is in a train repair shop on the outskirts of Los Angeles, and the four of them stood in front of the locomotive and talked casually, and they have already learned about Jodie Foster and Song Ya, and she has completed her acting career like other top movie stars, she wrote, directed and acted in a splendid childhood in 91, and the box office reviews were good, so she created her own film company in 92 and got a contract similar to Liangtang and Paramount.

It's just a mini version, her Egg Pictures partner is Polygram Pictures, whether it is resources, distribution and influence, it is much more shabby than Paramount, one of the seven, and the money she gets every year is far less than that of Liang Tang, although her artistic achievements are much higher than that of Liang Tang, but Hollywood is still patriarchal, no way.

After spending her honeymoon period with Polygram Pictures, she invested, produced, directed, and ambitiously found Robert Downey Jr.'s rival family to fail at the box office, and she and Polygram Pictures began to have conflicts and lawsuits, which made her begin to decline in Hollywood.

"I had a very good friendship with Toni Morrison in '84, and the conflict with PolyGram Pictures was temporarily resolved. Of course, Oprah is also her long-time friend......"

The first contact didn't have much in-depth conversation, and after Oprah's 40 million promise was thrown, she also knew that she would definitely not be able to compete if she didn't apply for the group, so she simply said a few cooperation conditions, investment, participation in production, and then she wanted to direct and make award-winning art films.

So now the problem is this, if she is a director, she doesn't mention the quality of the film, at least it is not very advantageous to rush for awards, Song Ya's original plan was to find Spike Lee, that guy is not good at commercial ability, but he has a special hand in awarding, if she wants Hallie to be the queen of the film, she must unite the black community to make trouble before the Oscars and create momentum, Spike Lee is the best candidate.

And Jodie Foster is obviously more willing to win directing awards for herself at that time, rather than share 20 million or 10 million for award-winning art films, so she has to find other companies to join in.

"Fortunately, Polygram Pictures doesn't sell the accounts of my colleagues in the record company, otherwise the grudge between me and Polygram Records will ......"

Toni Morrison said that the decision would be made soon, Song Ya and Yeremov could only starvely put together a very imperfect grass stage team in two or three days, probably A+ Film Studio will admit 10 million investment, Jodie Foster and Polygram Pictures will jointly recognize 10 million, Linton's Hollywood Pictures will recognize 5 million, and then the little Bergman who made the Phantom Wonder movie will admit 10 million, and their family has a way to introduce the so-called ' stupid German money', and then look for investors to make up about 500 to 10 million, barely beyond Oprah's offer.

Directed by Jodie Foster, Harley is the heroine, and Hollywood Pictures earns production income, they are old partners with Polygram Pictures, so naturally they will be distributed through Disney's Bowell Pictures, and part of the overseas distribution will be distributed to PolyGram.

"Whew!"

After sending out the new offer overnight, Song Ya was relieved, hugged Hallie and said: "This time is my strongest ability to act and mobilize funds in Hollywood, and there is no more drop." ”

"I know, thank you, thank you." Hallie was so moved that she cried, she really cried, and she kept kissing him on the face with tears, "I'm almost thirty years old, and I've only met you with a man who is so good to me......"

"Hmm."

Song Ya accepted the thanks very calmly this time, it was indeed good enough, a black art film, how to toss it like this, his own memories are a little vague, he has been busy like a machine in the past two days, in order to attract investment, even the Bergman family, who had a slight suspicion, has won ......

"Sleep."

He yawned, really tired, "I have to fly to South Africa for a commercial performance in a few days." "There's a Charisse in South Africa who is about to give birth.

The two hugged each other and slept early in the morning, and were woken up by the phone, "APLUS, Oprah pulled Touchstone Pictures and other investors again, and she said that she would spend 80 million to make a black epic!" She's crazy. ”

"Super doubled?" Song Ya sat up from the bed, not sleepy at all, "She doesn't want to win the adaptation rights first and then regret it, play Toni Morrison, right?" ”

"Do you think Toni Morrison would distrust her reputation? She's Oprah. ”

"My Hollywood studios have to quit too, and Touchstone Pictures, which is also owned by Disney, is involved in such a big project, and I can't be with you internally to mess with them," Linton said. ”

Oprah's hand is still fast and accurate, and the trench offer broke everyone's psychological defenses, and incidentally broke his alliance with Hollywood Studios in this project.

"Eighty million ......," Song Ya muttered in shock and put down the microphone.

"The production cost of the darling?" Harley woke up and heard a few words.

"I'm sorry, Hallie, it looks like we can't get this project."

If you call again, you will pay too much to support women, and losing blood may not be able to achieve your goal. Song Ya didn't think about exposing Oprah's fraudulent donation on Toni Morrison's side to get eye medicine, but it doesn't matter if it's good or not, the Nobel Prize winner can't control his mouth, and once it is rumored that his character will collapse.

"There's really no way, Oprah is swelling to the limit, let's find other projects, there are always more solutions than problems." Song Ya could only comfort the woman in her arms.

"It's okay, you've done enough."

Hallie's expression was naturally regretful, but she must have understood it, and sighed understandingly: "Eighty million...... Wow, this is definitely an epic movie, the first blockbuster to depict the spiritual history of black slaves...... Well? ”

She seemed to have thought of something suddenly, her eyes rolled wildly, "Uh, dear, hehe......" instantly switched to a face-licking and flattering expression, "This, if...... I mean, if, I go to her to look for a job, you ...... You're not going to be angry, are you? ”
