Chicago 1990

Chapter 168 First Weekend

The party was held in the Beverly Hills mansion of one of the co-chairmen of Columbia Pictures, Gubel. In order to dig him and another co-chairman, Peters, Sony paid 200 million dollars in advance to acquire their companies. A well-known producer and senior manager changed hands and Sony was backed by a lawsuit with Warner Bros., which paid nearly one billion dollars in compensation.

In addition to the 3.4 billion dollars that Sony paid for the acquisition of Columbia Pictures and the 1.6 billion dollars in debt, this film company can be said to have laid a bloody capital. This is not the end, and the two have made troubles within the company. , Their ability is okay, the market share of the new company has been rising, but after the big sales of many movies, the money could not get into the pockets of Columbia Pictures, but into many nearby companies with their backgrounds.

According to rumours, Sony, who was stunned, would rather be bled again in 1995 in order to let the two guys leave. How terrible it was.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Song Ya. He sneaked out his head from the bathroom door of a mansion with a sign under repair, "No one, you go first."

The blushing Mila pecked his cheek, then kicked and stomped away with high heels.

He took off the repair sign and threw it into a cleaning cart not far away before Shi Shiran went out to meet Taraji outside the corridor.

"All this is just like a dream." Taraji, dressed in a decent red evening dress, holding a wine glass, whispered excitedly: "Not long ago I was a dancer on a banquet cruise, but now I'm in Beverly Hills, attending Hollywood Top party."

"Let's treat this as a dream, it doesn't belong to us yet." Song Ya smiled: "Hollywood is a place that can eat people's minds."

"Hey, it seems that I am the older one here, so I should say this to you!" Taraji hit him with the shoulder.

"Drink less, Taraji." Song Ya also took a glass of champagne from the plate held by the passing waiter, "Where is the person I can talk to?"

He didn't know most of the people at the party.

"Eremov is in the lobby on the first floor. Director Graham is at eight o'clock, and Brian Kraus is on the balcony." Taraji did his job well. "As for Miss Jovovich, I Think you can't find her in a short time, right?"

Taraji has no shortage of black girls who are capable of casual jokes.

"You underestimated me."

Song Ya smiled and went to the first floor to find Yeremov.

"The box office in advance has not been counted." Yeremov was chatting with a beautiful brown-haired woman. Song Yazheng was hesitant to go there. He saw it first. "APLUS, come here, let me introduce you. This is Xue Linfen, Xue Lin, APLUS, have you heard his songs?"

"Of course." Xue Linfen shook hands with Song Ya elegantly, "I like the song Empire State of Mind by you and Mariah Carey very much."

"Thank you, me too..." Song Ya almost said that she liked your story of stealing the moon, but fortunately she responded quickly, "I really like your performance in Shuangfeng Town."

The three chatted for a few words, "Disaccompany." Xue Linfen was greeted and left.

"What's wrong with her? I'm a little slouched." Song Ya looked at her graceful back, and automatically made up for the all-exposed scenes in the love story.But in reality, this woman looks older than that in the movie and TV series Shuangfeng Town, and her hair color has also changed, otherwise Song Ya won't fail to recognize her for the first time.

"Shuangfeng Town is going to be cut off, poor boy." Yeremov replied.

"What? Isn't this TV series very well received?" This TV series directed by David Lynch is being broadcasted all over the country, and Xue Linfen was nominated for the Golden Globe and Emmy Awards, and was selected as a global by People Magazine The fifty most beautiful women, a series of fashion magazines and clothing brands have also begun to show interest in her.

"Who knows, it is said that she broke up with David Lynch because of her boyfriend." Yeremov shrugged.

Why did the director break up because of the actress’ boyfriend and the actress? Song Ya made up a bloody plot. Xue Linfen’s photographer boyfriend seemed to be unreliable, and even helped his girlfriend to the playboy. The magazine shoots all the pictorials, of course, this may also be for art.Song Ya naturally appreciated that pictorial for art.

"After stealing the moon, she was very embarrassed. Even though she had been in the film for more than a year, except for David Lynch, everyone else was looking for her to get her to reveal something in the film. This is the case in Hollywood. Take off her clothes and bring it to the box office, so no one will pay attention to her acting skills anymore."

Yeremov said: "So I also won the opportunity for Mira to show less in this movie. You know, the contract between her mother and our company is much larger."

"I know, thank you Yeremov." In this matter, Song Ya's gratitude to him is sincere. Of course, if Mira does not rely on her own to De Klerk to turn red in a short time, Yeremo The husband will definitely not change the original plan.

The next day, Song Ya left Los Angeles to continue the promotion of the'trumpet'.

"The advance box office hasn't been calculated yet?"

In the evening, Song Ya asked Taraji, who was walking into the hotel suite with a lot of newspapers and magazines.

"I think it's not that I didn't calculate it, but Columbia Pictures didn't dare to show it."

Taraji opened a magazine, "David Thomson of Film Critics: Readers, a remake can be messed up by director Graham, even if he copied the old version ten years ago, The effect will also be better than this boring junk goods, he should apologize according to the tradition of Columbia Pictures' capitals!"

"Hollywood Report: Although Columbia Pictures has concealed it, according to our observations, this movie will rank out of the top ten of all released movies this week, and it will be a total production cost for its tens of millions. s failure."

"U.S. Weekly: It is said that returning to the Blue Coral Reef has booked multiple awards for Golden Raspberry in 1991. This news may not please the crew."

"Kenfrans of the New Yorker: I'm sorry, but the statutory pattern on the face of Brian Krauss, the actor who returned to the Blue Coral Reef, made me laugh. There is nothing else in the film. If it were not the only highlight After seeing the premiere, I decided not to talk about it anymore because it’s not worth mentioning."

"Uh... well, well, don't read it."

Song Ya dialed Milla's phone, "Mrs. Jovovich? Where's Milla? Lock herself in her room and cry? Okay, the movie box office failed, but there were not many attacks on her, just a small setback. …Ok, you can transfer me to the landline in her room. Uh…Did she unplug the phone line? Okay, please persuade her, it’s no big deal, I'll call you back."

He dialed Yeremov's phone again, it was busy, and the call was transferred to the answering machine, "Hey, I'm APLUS, uh... I just want to ask about the movie box office. Please reply if you have new news."

On August 5th, the box office for the first weekend of returning to Blue Coral Reef was released, and the box office was $1.5 million. This score was achieved with the simultaneous release of 1,280 theaters across the meter, which means that the box office for three days in the weekend was only 1,000. It's not as good as the first weekend's score when the block boy was released in more than 800 theaters. Now, the block boy's weekend box office is still four thousand dollars!Not to mention that theaters showing neighborhood boys are generally close to black areas, and the purchasing power of blacks is much lower.

It can only be ranked 16th among the 19 movies shown in mainstream theaters.

Mira's phone finally got through.

"Aren't you crying? It's time to face reality dear, maybe things still have a turn for the better." Song Ya comforted her.

"Ok……"

Mira really calmed down a lot, "Yelemov is working hard to save the box office, and I also call on fans to come in and watch."

"Is it necessary? Consume your fans' enthusiasm to contribute to the box office of a movie? You are just an actor and don't need to bear such a big responsibility. The salary you received at the time was far lower than your current worth." Song Ya persuades.

"Huh! You don't know how the Hollywood tabloids write about me, I don't want to be taken lightly by them."

"It is the most stupid to be angry with the tabloid..."

"It's so annoying, stop preaching, my appeal has been sent out, and I can't withdraw it!" Mila lost her temper and hung up the phone.
