It is not difficult to produce independently, some low-cost black-themed films were independently produced by A+ film studios in the past, and now in Hollywood these years, most film companies are really in the nature of leather bags, studios, locations, etc. can be rented, equipment supply, special effects, etc. are contracted to professional companies, and the cast and crew sign a single film contract according to the project, with low risk and fast capital flow.

Then there is the snake road, the rat walks the rat road, and the whole country pulls investment, tax reduction policies and cultural subsidies for the film industry, which is pollution-free and can provide high-end employment and promote local tourism and other businesses. Some people in Hollywood are good at killing 'stupid German money', some people control the resources of Britain and France, some people run to lower costs, Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand, which are also English-speaking countries and have no cultural barriers, first get the local government's subsidies and tax rebates, and then talk about it, and there are fewer and fewer crews who really stay in the local traditional studios in Los Angeles to start work.

The same is true for the Girl Next Door program, which started in the summer and went to Chicago to shoot in Songya's lair, where the governor will share some of Illinois' counterpart subsidies and tax rebates.

"In addition, Xiao Lizi's salary is not high, the cost can be pressed very low, and independent production is more convenient to do accounts, perfect."

Due to the foresight of the Apocalypse, Song Ya's current Hollywood affairs, the Girl Next Door project, which holds the head of the Little Plum Department, is progressing rapidly, and after a careful chat with Yeremov in the car, he believes that the future is very good, and DreamWorks' reluctance to release it is definitely their own loss, "What about Leng Shan?" How's it going? He asked about another project.

"Not yet."

Yeremov replied: "The rejection of Universal Pictures by Grove Publishing, the parent company of The Atlantic, is only temporary, and they have not yet made a final decision on whether it is to cooperate with Ms. Sloane's literary website or to make the adaptation rights to Cold Mountain." Daniel thinks they probably want to see what another Southern perspective movie from Universal Pictures looks like. ”

"Hmm." Song Ya nodded and groaned.

"Universal Pictures still has an advantage, and the Chinese director Ang Lee's Ride with the Devil is being filmed, and the props and exterior scenes can be seamlessly transferred to Cold Mountain, and the sincerity of President Ron Meyer is also very strong. But Atlantic Monthly and Charles Fraser have doubts about the heroine who rides with the devil, quasi-DIVA pearl, you know that a singer who has no acting experience comes up and directly plays the leading role in this kind of big-budget drama, and the end is generally not good. ”

Yeremov added.

"Then wait, both you and Daniel need to be patient, and let Xue Lin participate more and show up more."

Some people can wait for the price to sell, and now whether it's The Atlantic, Charles Fraser, or Grove Press, they must know that there is no need to rush.

"Jodie Foster wants to see you."

Yeremov took a phone call and reported.

"She? Can I help you? Song Ya asked.

"Her Egg Pictures is under PolyGram Pictures, and now because PolyGene is about to be sold as a whole, the Anna and King project, which she has put a lot of effort into, was suddenly stopped halfway, and now she is looking for someone to take over all over the world." Yeremov replied: "And she may also be interested in competing for the heroine of Leng Shan." ”

"Egg Pictures ......"

Song Ya is amused by the name of the company every time she is the double Oscar-winning actress, but Jodie Foster is old, lace-edged, and too short, which is not comparable to Nicole Kidman, the original heroine of the Cold Mountain Apocalypse, "I don't have time...... Wait, you mentioned Polygram Pictures? ”

"Yes, Polygram's film distribution company."

"Let's talk about it, uh...... "I'm nervous about my schedule," and call her to Xue Lin. ”

“OK。”

The car stopped in front of the San Marino mansion in Sherringfinn and said, "Hallie!? Song Ya was pleasantly surprised to see Halle Berry lying by the pool basking in the sun with Xue Linfen for some reason, two bikini beauties, one black and one white, shining in the sun.

He looked back at Yeremov, who smiled silently.

Arranged? It's very intimate, swallowed his saliva and raised his foot to rush over there, huh? No, the three, and an uninvited guest, Quincy Jones's lover Natasha Kinsky, was lying next to Shirinfen and didn't see it at first glance.

"Natasha brought little Kenya to play with Robb, just arrived."

————

It would be embarrassing to have outsiders there, Song Ya braked suddenly, Xue Linfen took off her sunglasses and explained with a smile.

“Hi，APLUS。” Natasha Kinsky's back is clean and slippery, and European women sunbathing don't bring too much cumbersomeness.

"Hello."

The scenery is picturesque, and it is really eye-catching, Song Ya was about to scratch her scalp today, so she had to stand in place and have nothing to say, "Hallie, isn't the bragging customer you starred in about to be released?" ”

"May 15th." Hallie replied.

There was less than a month left, "What do you think will happen to the opening of the painting?" Song Ya asked.

"I don't know, Warren Beatty is arrogant, but the movie itself should be interesting."

Hallie commented, pointing to the short dreadlocks on her head, "Do I see anything in this image in the play?" ”

“Emmm……”

The mixed-race Black Pearl is really a frozen age miracle, this appearance is no different from when she played Spike Lee's Jungle Fever for one year, as if the passage of seven years did not exist in her at all, it is amazing, and her face still has some tomboy air that has not grown up, "In other words, in Warren Beatty's stereotype, you are still the actor who resembles the image template in Jungle Fever?" Song Ya turned his brain to analyze.

"Answer, black girl on the street."

Hallie complained, "Seriously, this character made me feel like I've been standing still for seven years in Hollywood." ”

"Don't say that about Harley, you know that Sherin and I envy you." Natasha Kinski interjected.

"It's a pity, I thought Warren Beatty would take you to the prize."

With Warren Beatty's status in Hollywood, the movies he wrote, directed, and acted in at the age of 60 are undoubtedly going for awards.

"I thought at first, but he didn't really care about my acting progress in the past seven years, he just needed a stereotypical image of a black girl on the street."

Hallie lazily changed her lying position, and her perfect body without a trace of fat was visible under the three-point swimsuit, "I really regret it, I also volunteered to take a salary cut to play ......"

"No wonder you say he's arrogant, forget it, you can do me a favor when I go back, play the female lead in the award film, there are not many scenes, but it should be more than Warren Bitina's room to play." Song Ya thought about it and decided to give her the role of the miracle heroine, that is, the male protagonist's wife.

"Help? How do you calculate that salary!? Hallie sat up in a sharp voice.

"Of course, it's a friendship price."

No, I can't help it, the color is empty, out of sight is pure, "I'll go see the children, wait for Jodie Foster to come." Song Ya dropped the sentence and turned around and hid in the house.

Robb was running madly with Kenya Jones at home, and Jon Jon Jon was chasing after his brother like a fart, "Have you practiced Robb?" Song Ya pulled his pants and grabbed the two sons.

I can't read it, I really admit I can't read it, and the share price of YAHOO has doubled in just two months! As of today's NASDAQ close, the market capitalization is $32.3 billion? ’

After playing with her son for a long time, at three o'clock in the afternoon, when Song Ya went to the hall with little Sansa in her arms, Jodie Foster and her girlfriend had already arrived, the two and Yeremov were arguing fiercely about something, Xue Linfen, Hallie and Natasha Kinsky had also changed into formal clothes, Xue Linfen and Natasha Kinsky were curled up on the sofa like best friends and read a book together, while Hallie held the remote control and stared at the financial news seriously.

Xue Linfen and Natasha Kinsky's faces are still top-notch, not to mention Hallie, and Jodie Foster has a double queen aura bonus, which is just a little worse than her girlfriend. The five people in the hall have different shapes and expressions, which are very vivid, and the scene is as beautiful as an old oil painting.

The stock market analyst on the TV looked incredulous, 'This unprofitable Internet company has surpassed a large number of century-old multinational giants, and I admit that my previous analysis was wrong, and my peers and I have been saying since last year that this is impossible, this is impossible, and the bubble will burst sooner or later...... But the reality is so ironic, we are slapped in the face again and again! ’

"Do you still stand by your opinion?" The reporter asked.

"I'm not commenting anymore, I'm not going to comment on this stock anymore."

"I've heard that a lot of high-profile short sellers have lost a lot in the past two months."

"THERE ARE ALSO MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE MADE A FORTUNE, FOR EXAMPLE, NOT TO MENTION THE FOUNDER OF YAHOO, IF THE MINORITY SHAREHOLDER APLUS STILL OWNS THE LEGENDARY 3.8 PERCENT, THEN HIS ASSETS ALONE ARE WORTH MORE THAN 1.2 BILLION...... dollar！ ”

The bustling hall suddenly fell silent, and the other women looked up at the television.

That's it, the timing is just right, a faint passive pretense, very perfect, "What's wrong?" What are you talking about? Song Ya made a gorgeous appearance with her eldest daughter in her arms.

Hallie watched him wipe his saliva, Jodie Foster put down her feet that had been stepping on the coffee table domineeringly, and Natasha Kinsky's eyes were also shining very wrong, "Give it to me." Xue Linfen came to pick up her daughter from his arms.

"I just cried a lot."

Song Ya handed little Sansa into her mother's hands, "Welcome, Ms. Foster, this is ......" Although he had seen it before, he couldn't remember the name of Jodie Foster's girlfriend.

"Sidney Bernard."

"Oh yes, hello."

Song Ya showed a calm manly appearance and shook hands with the two women, "I heard Yeremov say ......"

Jodie Foster is very difficult now, her personal film company Egg Pictures has started the Anna and King project with the help of PolyGram Pictures, everything is ready and ready to go, she herself has just returned from viewing the location in Southeast Asia, but she didn't expect to be hit by a bolt from the blue, the parent company Polygram suddenly stopped its financial support for PolyGram's big project because of the decision to sell, Anna and the King stopped in an instant, her small company was unlucky, the project could not continue, and there was a risk of bankruptcy.

"You A+ Film Studio don't have a lot of projects this year, right?" Judie Foster asked.

The two sides took the opportunity to almost reach a cooperation on the darling project, but unfortunately lost to the super double Oprah, even if there is a little relationship, Jodie Foster wants to find money, and it may be a little urgent to visit in a hurry.

"On the contrary, we're going to be busy this year." Yeremov did not like the Anna with the King project.

Song Ya knows his position at this point, the historical background of Southeast Asia that the people of the United States are completely unfamiliar with and disdain to understand, the love story of a yellow man and a white woman, and the pearl and jade in the fifties, Jodie Foster's appearance is no longer what it used to be...... The ambition is still very big, she bought the adaptation rights and participated in the investment in the heroine, and the production cost of the whole drama will be very high.

"Didn't Polygram Pictures give money? What is their situation now? ”

Without the apocalypse, Song Ya still tends to be conservative, and he is more interested in Polygram's recent situation.

"I don't know, it's a mess, and they told me that the deal could be finalized in August, or even sooner."

Jodie Foster complained.

"Oh? I haven't heard of it, and there's no news from outside. ”

Song Ya raised his eyebrows, then there was only Universal, and the progress of other potential acquirers was not so fast.

"Someone from above told me." The double film queen has her own way.

"Any other details?"

Philips seems to be 10,000 willing to get rid of PolyGram, the sooner the better, according to Jodie Foster's inquiry, Polygram is also very satisfied with the world internally, look at the right eye, the difference is only in the price, and how to deal with the various regulatory and external pressures of mergers and acquisitions of listed companies.

"Hey, you don't have any sincerity at all." Jodie Foster quickly noticed that Song Yayi was not in Anna and the king, "Don't ask, I know you have a conflict with Universal, and now people in Hollywood have spread it all over, if it weren't for the fact that there was no way to ......"

"What contradiction? I just found out that someone on the American music website spread pirated songs, and I asked them to delete them, but Littleman Media didn't listen to me, and I couldn't help it, blame me. ”

The double reed played by Song Ya and Sloan is for this answer, and it is justifiable.

"Huh."

Jodie Foster sneered, she was sixty-two years old, and she had been in Hollywood for nearly thirty years, so this kind of excuse couldn't deceive her.

"Well, what is Anna's funding gap with abroad?" Song Ya turned the topic back, at least to give a clear attitude.

"Fifty million."

Jodie Foster's answer made Yeremov laugh on the spot, and the number also exceeded Song Ya's psychological bottom line, "So much? ”

"Love, war, court, disparity between the identity of the king's male protagonist and the governess female protagonist, and cultural conflict in the context of the great era...... Tragic end. ”

Jodie Foster's girlfriend replied, "Like another Titanic?" ”

"Who is the male protagonist?"

"Chow Yun-fat."

Fa Ge ......, "Forget it, I don't want to gamble again." ”

Song Ya glanced at Jodie Foster's face, and said in her heart It's not that I don't support my fellow countryman, how can this middle-aged version of Jack and Rose be compared to Xiao Lizi and Fat Wen...... The main audience of the big ship is young women, all of whom are face controlled.

"Forget it."

Jodie Foster sighed in disappointment and asked Natasha Kinsky instead, "Are you looking at Leng Shan?" Where's the view? ”

"What? We've watched it countless times...... Every time I see the end, I cry. ”

Natasha Kinsky picked up the book in her hand and read: "He was sometimes awake, sometimes unconscious, and he had a brilliant dream, dreaming of his hometown. A cool spring gushes out of a crack in the stone, the black earth, the towering ancient trees. In his dreams, time seems to appear at the same time, with all the seasons overlapping. The apple trees are full of fruit, but strangely enough, the trees are still in full bloom, the ice is frozen on the edge of the springs, and the okra blooms with yellow and maroon flowers. The maple leaves were as fiery as in October, the corn tips had spikes, the chairs full of things had been dragged to the fireplace in the drawing-room, the pumpkins glistened on the ridges, the laurels had climbed the hillsides, the ditches were lined with impatiens, the dogwoods were full of white flowers, and the bauhinia was fluttering with small purple flowers. Everything comes together. And the white oak trees, the great flocks of crows, or at least the souls of the crows, which dance and sing on the high branches......"

"Charles Fraser's writing is beautiful." She was full of emotion, "The ending is really regrettable, the male protagonist died in the arms of the female protagonist in the end, they get together less and leave more, the love is poignant, loyal, platonic ......"

"It was oriental love, 'the light haze, the thick fog in the valley, the clouds hanging on the cold mountainside like rags, and the gray rain that poured down all day long'......"

Judie Foster, the double actress and Yale scholar, is much higher than that of European stars, and casually recited a short passage of text in Leng Shanzhong, "Does it look like a Chinese ink painting?" Compared with the famous novel 'Gone with the Wind' with the same background, we can see the progress of the concept of the times, including the concept of race and love, and the reflection on the Civil War is also more delicate......"

"Uh...... You, your opinion is very reasonable. ”

Natasha Kinsky felt crushed and immediately turned the pages to open up the next battlefield.

The two actresses with disparities in coffee positions talked very enthusiastically, but Song Ya felt that the real object of each of their words was herself, and they were carefully designed to express their understanding of Leng Shan.

But Jodie Foster is also fighting for the heroine, and Natasha Kinski, who at most hopes to get a slightly weighty supporting role, has no competition at all? What's so good about you coming and going......

He thought to himself with a little cow chewing peony mentality, and his eyes were just in line with Harley, and Harley smiled and withdrew her gaze at the two of them and rolled her eyes.

"You know what? I have discussed many times with the author, Mr. Charles Frazier, who spent seven years writing this 300,000-word book and neglected his responsibilities to his family, and his wife finally left him......"

Xue Linfen likes this kind of sad and sad literary discussion the most, and she hugged her daughter and joined in happily, "It's like a cold mountain, far away, but it still ends in tragedy." ”

"Balancing career and love." Natasha Kinski said: "The vast majority of men can't do that. She complimented Jodie Foster and his girlfriend, "You two are role models in Hollywood, it's enviable." ”

"Uh......"

This Song Ya had something to say, and he inserted accurately, "In fact, the so-called balance between career and love is a false proposition, isn't it?" ”

"What do you mean?" Judie Foster asked.

"Generally speaking, our cultural traditions are called upon to weigh our responsibilities and choose the higher priorities, not to turn every competing conflict of 'good' into a major moral judgment, but I feel that when a person says that I want to dedicate myself to work or accomplish something, and I have to run a family and love at the same time, it is just escapism."

Song Ya listened to the blonde professor of law school, Marsha Nassbaum, and the harvest of the class is now sold, "There will also be a conflict between good wishes, you must either work wholeheartedly, or manage your family and love, just like the famous book 'Agamemnon' by the ancient Greek tragedy master Aeschylus, Agamemnon was faced with a choice between appeasing the wrath of Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, saving the lives of the army, and sacrificing his favorite daughter, he loved his soldiers, and he loved his daughter, and he had to make a choice......"

"These two examples are not comparable at all, are they!?" Hallie interrupted loudly.

"Of course, when Socrates says 'good men cannot be harmed,' the meaning is similar to that of securing human virtue, then securing everything that has to do with it, but what about the conflict between good intentions? When a person makes a choice, is he doing evil? Everyone has to confront this 'fragility of the good' and ask themselves really at the philosophical level. Song Ya talked eloquently.

"Yes, yes, that's a good thing to say, APLUS." Natasha Kinsky nodded frequently in a half-incomprehensible manner.

Jodie Foster and his girlfriend were thoughtful, and Xue Linfen naturally looked adoring, "This looks like a scumbag is making excuses." Harley hit the nail on the head.

"Hey......

Accidentally pretending again, Song Ya was satisfied with the reaction of the five women, "Boss." Yeremov also felt that he was almost in place, and handed him the mobile phone at the right time to help him load it and run, saving him from showing his stuff because of the boss's lack of knowledge.

"Hmm."

Song Ya glanced at the caller, it was Amy Adams, "Sorry, I'll answer the phone." ”

He bowed gracefully, left the hall, and went up to the lawn to pick him up.

"You're back in Los Angeles?" Amy asked, her voice tired.

"Uh...... Well. ”

"Tell me, how long do I have to wait?" Amy asked.

This question......

Song Ya took a deep breath, "I don't know, Amy......"

"You don't know?"

"I'd love to say something to coax you, but I'm ...... I really don't know. Damn, I just talked about the vulnerability of goodness, and now I have to face this problem head-on, Song Ya said guiltily: "Give me some time, and I'll answer next year?" Shakira's smiling face came to his mind again.

"After next year, we will be together, you are the only one with me, and you only love me, from now on and forever?" Amy asked.

"I ...... Can't give you that promise, Amy. He replied truthfully.

Amy began to sniff and sobbed on the other end of the line, "I'm working so hard......" she cried.

"Then you're going to make a decision Amy, you're waking up from the dream of good wishes, it's good, be ego, be strong, I'm ...... It's not worth your wait. ”

Song Ya wiped the corners of her eyes after speaking, turned her back to the direction where the wind was blowing, "After so many years, you should see my true face clearly." ”

"You're always ...... like this"

"What?"

"That kind of rational to cold think about me."

"Stop beautifying me with filters in your head, Amy! I'm a scumbag! You have the right and will definitely be able to find someone who loves you better than me! He growled.

"Woo woo woo ......"

After chatting with Amy for a long time, she finally put down her already hot phone melancholy.

"Is there something wrong?" Turning around, he saw Yeremov standing in the distance, waiting, pacing anxiously.

"Your lawyer, Mrs. Alicia Flock, is looking for you, but ...... busy"

Yeremov said: "She asked me to tell you that today a small singers' mutual aid foundation went to Dile, and they seemed willing to fund his lawyer's fees for the lawsuit, and I heard that it was not cheap to find a good local law firm." Madame Flock thought the sudden appearance of the group was too strange. ”

The rich three generations are doing ghosts? "Delay accepted?" Song Ya's murderous heart suddenly rose, maybe he should have been more ruthless.

Mrs. Flock was waiting for the latest news, but she said that after Dillay accepted the first visit, the two sides should not have come to an agreement.
