Chapter 1141: Grab the Flowers

He: Put your flags up in the sky

Song Ya: Put 'em in the sky

Shakira: Jogue Lá no Alto

And then wave 'em side to side

Song Ya: Side to side

Shakira: lado a lado

In the Deep Sea Studio, another song prepared for the World Cup, We Are One, is nearing completion, mainly sung in English, Shakira occasionally interjects a few words in Spanish, Song Ya is naturally the producer, and the other spare Spanish version is in charge of Gomez, the producer of the Cup of Life.

Compared with the original singer Jennifer Lopez of the Apocalypse version, Shakira's singing skills are better, her voice is thicker, more layered and recognizable, and she may be a little less penetrating, but in short, there is no difficulty for her.

"This version is good."

"Okay?"

"Let's use this version."

"I'll vote."

After the two finished recording and the musicians and the harmony group, they walked out of the studio, and the control room outside was crowded with people, in addition to Latin musicians such as Gomez, tuners, DTS sound engineers and other staff, as well as Linda, president of A+ Records, Dion Wilson, executive vice president and music director of A+ Records, Shakira's manager Estéphine, and the manager of Sony's Latin branch of Columbia Records, Geffen Records and Anschutz's senior management.

"Then use this version?" Song Ya put on the headphones and felt good after listening to the effect.

"Haha, it's up to you to decide! It's your song APLUS, you're better than everyone in this house. ”

Dion Wilson is a sycophant, he also has an additional singer title this year, the first album 'Accept Your Own and Be Yourself', which continues the same style as his good brother Common, with sparse sales but high reviews.

Because he had tested the waters for a long time in underground releases, the real sales figure should have exceeded a little, but this was enough to dampen his idea of continuing his dream of being a singer.

"What do you think?" Song Ya looked at Shakira.

"Okay."

Shakira shrugged her shoulders chicly, she is really talented in music and very stubborn at the same time, she has never accepted the song sent by Song Ya before, and next year's second major except for this song We Are One, the other lyrics are written by herself.

"Hmmm......"

Song Ya closed his eyes and groaned.

In fact, he was comparing the original version of the Apocalypse, but everyone who didn't know what was going on looked at him silently, waiting with bated breath for the 'genius' to make a final decision.

"That's it!"

Song Ya opened her eyes and finished speaking, and cheers erupted from the recording studio, mainly from the musicians, harmony troupes and staff who worked intensively.

"Hey......

Song Ya accepted the hug with a smile and pulled Dion Wilson aside to explain the precautions for the later stages, as well as some minor changes.

"OK, OK, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on the master tape the whole time." Dion Wilson nodded frequently, "MV......"

"Let's talk about the MV early next year, let's go and record some iconic attractions of the countries participating in the World Cup? There should be a football element, the flags of various countries or something......"

Song Ya instructed in detail.

"Honey, take me to see the Titanic ......" Shakira after talking to the Latin musicians? Come over and pull your sleeves and be coquettish.

Dion Wilson and the others all laughed when they heard this.

"No, no, no."

Song Ya's impatient refusal? Second weekend? The box office of Titanic bucked the trend and increased by about 30%, almost purely driven by word-of-mouth and the enthusiasm of female audiences, which surprised a predictive media and film critics? A lot of people are starting to change their tunes.

"Let's go see it...... Don't you want to watch it? ”

"Don't want to? Don't even look at it. ”

Director Cameron, male protagonist Xiao Lizi and female protagonist Kate Winslet instantly turned over and became the masters, and they, especially Xiao Lizi, have become the figures that all the media are focusing on at this stage? Talk about them in the gossip news? All kinds of top talk shows invite them? Magazine covers don't need to be mentioned? I heard that the advertising spokesperson blew up the phone number of Xiao Lizi's agent.

Full attendance? Lots of downtown cinemas are hard to come by? Now that the situation has reversed, the theater chain has had to turn to Fox Films, asking for more copies to expand the number of screens.

Nominations for various film awards are also pouring in.

And all these changes are only a few days apart, and the box office in the entire second week is 70 million, and the total in two weeks is 120 million? Even if it falls by half in the third week, it can tie the box office of the North Rice of the Men in Black for three weeks and one hundred million five? And Titanic's global box office performance is better than Men in Black? Much better? In this way, it is impossible to lose money on investment.

Judging from the momentum, it is likely to be more fierce than the Men in Black at that time, Men in Black is just a standard action comedy blockbuster, and Titanic is far more topical. The largest steamship in the world at that time? The sinking of the legend, the top rich among the passengers, and the touching parting and love of the male and female protagonists......

“#%@!” Shakira was so angry that she cursed in Spanish.

It's useless to scold, anyway, I don't watch it, at least I don't go to the theater to watch it, so I don't have to be told again, "I'm no longer nervous when I go back and wait for the copy, I'll just let them send it to my home to be screened, don't worry, it should be fine next week." He coaxed Shakira.

"They've all seen it all!" Shakira points to her Latin friend.

"Good ......"

"I don't know the plot, I don't know what to talk to others about now!"

She pouted aggrievedly, "Next week is next year." ”

"It's all mothers, don't be like a little girl."

There's no way, once the movie forms a storm of public opinion, people don't know how to talk about it in their respective social circles, and it seems to be outdated, after hearing about female audiences, many other people who are forced by social pressure go to the cinema out of this psychology.

Song Ya twisted her face, "Clean up, we'll have to exercise when we go home later, we will shoot the MV in less than two months, I have to get back in shape, and so are you." ”

Shakira got angry and ignored people, he stopped coaxing and hurried into the president's office.

"Yeremov, keep an eye on Fox Films to prevent them from defaulting, I feel like we're going to start preparing the legal team."

Miracle is a big hit against the market, and Fox Film is estimated to be as caught off guard as himself, and if he loses money, he must prevent them from using bankruptcy protection to repay their debts and make money...... Especially if you want to make a lot of money, it is not easy to pull out the fat from the top seven in Hollywood, especially the sharing agreement that I signed at the beginning of the opportunity is very beautiful.

At the time, it seemed natural to save the other party from fire and water, but don't expect Hollywood to be grateful afterwards to give the proceeds with both hands.

"I'm already dealing with it."

Yeremov was naturally happy, 30 million out of 60 million Song Ya was funded in the name of A+ Film Studio, and he was rewarded with a small stake in the company at the beginning of the year, "There is something more important at the moment, boss." ”

"Say."

"Don't we still have a part of Xiao Lizi's book? Is it to let him start work for us while it is hot, the sooner we catch up with the heat of the Titanic, the better, you don't know, now the seven major Hollywood companies, many producers, investment institutions and even theaters are eyeing this paper contract. ”

Yeremov reported the good news: "Some people even bid 10 million to buy, we don't have to do anything, just transfer the head of the little plum to get 10 million, or even more!" Perhaps it can also be sold as an investment product for block-booking (a number of films that have been purchased by cinemas with blind bidding but not yet filmed, and many films that have been forced to be packaged and booked for bundle sale, which were banned by law in the 40s)! ”

"Is he so sought-after?" Song Ya asked sourly.

"It's so sought-after that the girls are crazy about him! Boss, you don't know, there are already obvious signs that he will be the next beautiful soup! Yeremov did not perceive the mood of the boss.

"Hehe......"

"We have to hurry up, Xiao Lizi may take over other big productions at any time, delaying the implementation of the ministry contract in our hands." Yeremov warned.

"No, I don't sell flowers."

I still have the apocalypse movies starring Little Plum in my head, The Girl Next Door and The Wolf of Wall Street, "Let him start working for us as soon as possible, uh......"

Jordan Belfort hasn't even written it yet, and the male protagonist of The Wolf of Wall Street doesn't seem to fit Xiao Lizi's current age and image, according to the original plan, just let him shoot the girl next door for himself, then the IPO of Littleman Publishing House in April next year, the school education film market will probably be carved up by then, and the girl next door can be taken out, and that kind of youth sex comedy is easy to shoot.

"From April to the end of next year, you and him are scheduled to join the group for filming." He commanded.

"Shoot what? I don't even have a project! Yeremov was confused.

"I've prepared the script, I'll give it to you before April, in short, let Xiao Lizi fulfill the contract and work for us!"

"But ......"

"Nothing, but it can't be."

"There must be a title, otherwise what should I talk to Xiao Lizi's agent?"

"The Girl Next Door, the girl next door."

Yeremov still wanted to continue to ask, Song Ya had already hung up the phone, no problem, he had to complete the boss's order no matter what, so he had to ask A+ Film Studio to quickly prepare the contract for the new project, and at the same time contact Xiao Lizi's agent.

Xiao Lizi became popular, and his agent now followed the chicken dog to heaven, the phone was not answered, and his whereabouts were uncertain, Yeremov inquired around Hollywood, and finally hurriedly took a flight to New York, where they were blocked at David Letterman's talk show recording site.

"We won't think about taking on a new job until after the Oscars, and then Leo's Man in the Iron Mask will also be released, and we will continue to run for the crew of the Man in the Iron Mask, and this year he also took over Woody Allen's celebrity appearance."

Xiao Lizi's agent refused.

"Celebrities are just cameos, and our drama doesn't need to take up too much of your schedule." Yeremov didn't even see the script, and he casually made up nonsense.

"That's not going to work either."

"You want to break the contract?" Yeremov looked at Xiao Lizi, who had just come over after signing the staff.

"Let APLUS eat the poop!" Xiao Lizi was obviously floating, and he was very rampant, "Anyway, I just need to fulfill the contract before the deadline, right?" He asked the agent.

"Yes, I understand that A+ Film Studio wants to rub off on the popularity of the Titanic, but we really don't have time at the moment, and the schedule is full."

The two sang and fooled Yeremov, "Sorry, we have to catch up with the next one." ”

His agent pushed Yeremov away, gave Xiao Lizi a look, and asked him to go first.

"Wow, you seem to have forgotten how you begged me and my boss to invest money in the Titanic!" Yeremov was indignant and accused the other side of ingratitude.

"Business is business, Yeremov, Leo This movie should be able to make a lot of money for APLUS, and we will clear it up." Said the broker.

"Only after fulfilling this contract in my hand can it be settled."

"I've said it all, we'll do it, but not next year, eh...... Today is the 29th, and we will soon talk about this year. The agent laughed.

"You shouldn't have tricked me into signing this back then!" Xiao Lizi turned around and scolded him, he could only get five million at the top of the salary of this department, and now he is not worthy of himself, and he ......

He shook his head, forgetting the strange rumors about himself and APLUS outside, and also forgetting his embarrassment and humiliation, and walked to the gate, where countless reporters and fans were waiting outside, and the girls were frantically shouting the male protagonist's name, "Jack!" Jack! ”

He straightened out his delicate suit and appearance, fiddled with the golden parted head, and took a big stride.

“Leo!”

Yeremov chased after him, but was stopped by his agent with a smile on his face.

"Damn it!"

Yeremov's eyes rolled, and he shouted to Xiao Lizi's back in a hurry: "If you don't sign, it won't be me who comes to you next time, APLUS will personally be everyone, and all the media will beat you up in front of everyone!" ”

Xiao Lizi's footsteps were suffocated, and his body was instantly petrified.

"You know what kind of bad temper he is, Leo!"

There's a play! Yeremov continued to make up, and he did not hesitate to frame the boss, all in order to complete the task, "You know he can do it!" ”

“M-FXXK!”

Xiao Lizi scolded and turned around, "Why didn't he be killed?" Nose pantothenic aggrieved signed the document, and then viciously threw the pen to the ground.
