Chicago 1990

Early in the morning, Song Ya opened his eyes, and the white girl by the pillow had put on her pajamas and was sitting on the bed looking at the newspaper intently.

"So hard?"

Song Ya teased her, hardworking women have met a lot of them, Halle Berry, Mariah Carey and Taraji Hansen who had just been hired, but she and Fergie were definitely not included.

"I'm so nervous..."

Mira quickly rummaged through the news, then dropped it to the ground without finding the target, and replaced it with a newspaper or magazine.

This is the first movie she starred in. It's normal to be nervous, "Isn't your movie released in twenty days?" Return to Blue Coral Reef is scheduled for August 2.

"But I have already seen the film." Mira said.

"Then it's over, what do you think of the quality of the film?" Song Ya asked.

"Uh..." Mira scratched her head in distress. "I can't say that, have you heard a theory? When people look in the mirror, their brain will automatically filter out the flaws in their appearance and beautify themselves. I now see myself as the leading role. It’s the same with the movie, I think it’s good everywhere."

"Okay..." Song Ya also agreed. When recording, he was always satisfied, but Walter and the others picked out a bunch of flaws.

"Hmph, yours!" Mira suddenly angrily put a US weekly magazine on his head.

Song Ya opened this gossip magazine with the same name as American music. It introduced the single'Small' in a whole page. The picture is a still of his and Fergie's intimate actions in the MV,'Genius Junior APLUS once again came up with a brand new single, and by the way, it showed off its trumpet talent. The American audience also bought it. The single ranked 23rd on the bulletin board in the first week.'

'However, APLUS's performance in the MV seems to be a bit overstretched. The big grin and silly smile combined with the dance moves of the four are not the same, the tone of the MV is too happy. The hip-hop street dancers in Los Angeles think that he did this for the purpose of Cover up the lack of dance skills...'

'His solo dance facing the camera is also too narcissistic and feminine.'

'The highlight comes from Fergie. The cute little girl in the children's company finally became a big girl. For the first time, she showed her beautiful figure to the American audience and unexpectedly transformed into hip-hop dance style. According to reliable sources, she has signed a contract. A+ record of APLUS, and once appeared in Atlanta to receive BABYFACE’s devil training.'

'To be honest, the editor personally has no love for this little yellow song that is similar to I Feel It Coming. The lyrics are vulgar and the style is conservative. I don’t know if I have another chance to watch the live collaboration between APLUS and Mariah Carey Empire State. of Mind, their chorus at the Billboard Awards Ceremony is a perfect, stunning, epic enjoyment, the best live performance so far in 1991.'

With a'swish', Song Ya threw the magazine on the ground, "Isn't there just a few words from your movie?" He asked Mira.

"Yes." Mira took out several well-folded newspapers and magazines.

"It's all cold data predictions..." Song Ya flipped through the pages, "What about critics who watched the film in advance?"

Mira shook her head.

According to data prediction and comparison, the first week of returning to the Blue Coral Reef will be opened at more than 1,300 theaters at the same time, which is more than 600 hotter than the first week of Jungle, and the highest is more than 800, and Songya will participate in the premiere of more than 800 block boys in the evening. The painting data is much higher, which fully shows that Columbia Pictures has high hopes for this film.

"Just do a simple math. The production cost of Jungle Hot was 14 million. It was only shown in more than 600 theaters in the first week, and the box office was more than 28 million in more than a month. The cost has been recovered and there is still a profit. You The cost of producing 11 million films is lower than that, but in the first week, more than 1,300 theaters are showing at the same time. If this is calculated, the box office revenue at the same time will be twice that of Jungle Fever, with a box office of more than 50 million. It's definitely a big profit, wow..."

Song Ya pinched her fingers and pulled her into her arms, "Singing and shadow model three-perish superstar, it's done!"

Mira was amused and laughed, and happily lay back on the bed to fight with him.

At noon, secretly taking the gardener's pickup truck to leave, Taraji picked him up at the agreed place and came to the headquarters of William Morris together.

"I'm going to interview some security personnel later. You take this to buy some clothes for yourself. Donovan will send someone to help with the shopping guide." Song Ya wrote a check to Taraji, "When you attend the block boy premiere at night, you have to Wear professional suits, dark colors, decent but fully integrated into the crowd. Then we go to the party in Escobe, you change into an evening dress, but also be decent and low-key. The outfit fee is a company expense, remember to Keep the shopping receipt."

After all, she is a twenty-year-old girl. Taraji couldn't avoid seeing the amount on the check and his eyes lighted, "Don't worry, I will be back on time to pick you up for the premiere."

"Well, go ahead."

Song Ya broke up with Taraji at the door, and walked to his top office under the leadership of Secretary Donovan.

"Hello, APLUS."

"Mr. APLUS."

"Hello, Mr. APLUS..."

As one of the most eye-catching signings of William Morris in the downturn in recent years, Song Ya is well-known within the company, and people keep greeting him kindly along the way.

Seeing Donovan, while the security company had not arrived, the two chatted about Mira's film, "Columbia Pictures seems to have publicized the film critics and asked them to silence the film before the movie is released. This is not a good sign." Donovan analyzed: "The motive for doing this is either to be very confident and deliberately to leave the suspense until the last moment, or to have no confidence, worrying that the bad reviews of the film critics will affect the box office of the first week."

"Which kind of reef does it belong to returning to the blue coral reef?" Song Ya said that he was a bit stupid to ask this question, and there was no suspense in a remake of a classic film anyway.

Donovan smiled. At this time, the security company came, and he ended the topic.

"Goodbye, I will consider a period of time to reply to your company."

After Song Ya seriously interviewed the two tall black bodyguards, she was not satisfied, and waited for them to leave, "I want to hire a bodyguard, not a guardian. They came up with a lot of things to do and not to do... "

"You are a star and you don't want to be controlled, right? But there is no shortcut to security issues, and you can't take a sloppy attitude." Donovan persuaded.

"Let's discuss it when I go back." Song Ya replied.

In the evening, Taraji, who put on his professional suit, came to pick Song Ya on time with the Cadillac Wood rented by the filmmaker. The two drove straight to a cinema in Compton.

As the worst public security area in Los Angeles, it is a purely black film, and the security on site is very strict.

The premiere of this small-cost production of 6.5 million is also very simple. Guests on the spot will not go in, but gather at the entrance of the theater and wait for people. Every time a guest arrives, a group of people will come to greet them warmly.

Mila will not come. Although she has such an affirmative personality, the audience is still mainly white.

"APLUS!" The guest DJ was one of Cooper's attendants. He also participated when he played the big A last time. He waited for Song Ya's car to stop and shouted with the microphone.

The girls in the audience on both sides suddenly screamed with excitement, Song Ya's current female relationship is good.

"After I get off the car, the car will continue to drive forward for a while. You will get off again at that time, and then come and find me." Song Ya asked Taraji, who was still a rookie, and waited for the car door to be opened from the outside and jumped out with a smile , Waved at the audience very vigorously.

"YO! APLUS! My brother! This way!" Es Cube greeted him loudly.

Song Ya quickly stepped forward and fisted him, and then the two of them hugged each other to take pictures from the reporters on the spot.

When taking the photo, Escobe seemed to be a lame gesture, emmmmm... Song Ya could not see it.

"Thank you for coming." Escuber introduced him to the cast and crew very kindly.

"We are friends." Song Ya said halfway. The main reason was that he stole Cooper's idea of ​​bringing goods, and then cooperated with Cooper's enemy NWA, and felt a little sad.

This is a small production. Most of the main creatives are the first time. John Singleton directed the tube and starred as Cuban Godin is a newcomer. The first actor is a newcomer in film, and he has not touched Hollywood. The habit of using accents is very easy to get along with.

"Hey……"

Song Ya saw Halle Berry, and the other party today wore an imitation ethnic robe made of African fabrics that was popular today, which completely concealed their sexy figure, but did not have a sense of innocence. The two laughed and embraced like old friends who have been apart for many years. .

"Long time no see." Halle Berry whispered, and both knew that the other would be there.

Although she often said,'Where are you, I'll go to you', but the two of them have indeed been gone for a long time.

"Let's jump for a while!" At this time, a male audience shouted loudly, "Halle! I Feel It Coming!"

"Yeah, let's skip a paragraph. The collaboration between the two of you was wonderful." Cooper and the others also roared, and the DJ even played the music of I Feel It Coming directly.

Song Ya and her were suddenly attacked. They could only smile and look at the situation. They felt like they couldn’t escape. The two twisted together generously and tacitly with the music. It seems that Halle has not forgotten the MV at the time. To dance, first put your arms on Song Ya's shoulders, then twist and twist your back to the beat, and put your hips against his hips.Blacks are born to be masters of atmosphere, and improvisations are also fun, men and women suddenly yell and twist, and the premiere is gradually becoming an open-air ball.

Of course this is impossible. It’s a small production. It’s a pure black film. But after all, it was produced and distributed by Columbia Pictures. The production announcement was basically white. Soon someone came to remind you to enter. Field.

"Hahaha." In the dim cinema, the hands that the two pulled up when they danced have not been released, Halle Berry sat down beside him, "It's been a long time since I attended such a hi premiere."

"Do you often attend premieres in Hollywood?" Song Ya asked.

"Well, I can go as far as I can." Hallie's drill is beyond doubt.

"Wait for the party at Cooper's house?"

"Of course, are there many rooms in his house?" Halle exhaled in his ear, and then fumbled for the zipper of his pants like a snake.

Playing with a woman is another kind of excitement. Song Ya took a deep breath and glanced around, turning his attention to the screen as much as possible.

The picture is taken to the black area of ​​Los Angeles in the 70s when the protagonist was a child.

"Hey, what the hell is this? How could there be such a good house in the black area in those days." An old black man in the back row immediately mumbled displeasedly.

"Ok?"

Song Ya looked at the rows of white single houses and the neat green grass in front of and behind the houses on the screen, as if they really did not look like the style of a black area.

"They seem to be directly using the sets from other projects of Columbia Pictures, small productions, understandable."

She knows a lot about filmmaking, so she explained to Song Ya in a low voice.
