Chicago 1990

Stanbulakhitch is the elder Lalila to help improve the right to speak with the producers and distributors. He is still in the avant-garde and art film circles. He is much more influential in Hollywood and film critic circles than Larry.Song Ya also saw Stanbulakheqi here, temporarily changed his plan, invited them to dinner, and consulted about the movie awards by the way.

"Oscar?" The two old men laughed when they heard Song Ya's unrealistic question. "Do you have this plan?"

"One thing, best original soundtrack and best original song..."

Song Ya answered.

"Maybe, but don't hope too much. The Oscar judges will not like to dance movies like my life, and they don't like singers who come to play tickets.

Stanbulakhitch said: "This year marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of the film. Major European and American film companies have invested their greatest enthusiasm and resources to produce high-quality products. The Oscar competition early next year will be unprecedentedly fierce."

"I understand, but you have heard my BeWhatYouWannaBe song, do you think there is a chance?" Song Ya asked when he asked the best song in the original soundtrack of the movie of my life.

"Too popular."

Stanbulakhitch shook his head, "It's not that I don't want to help you APLUS, but I advise you to put your energy on other things, such as the MTV movie awards run by MTV."

It was a small award, and its influence in the film industry was far less than that of VMA in the record industry, although it was all run by one company.

"I didn't have a chance, Redstone bought Paramount..."

At the end of last year, Viacom (MTV is a subsidiary) boss Redstone won one of the top seven Paramount Pictures in the competition with Barry Diller at an incredible price, worth $10 billion. , 10 billion in 1993.

The specific operation process is also unbelievable. After he proposed a purchase price of 8.2 billion yuan, Occidental Petroleum and others behind Paramount knew that there was another entertainment mogul Barry Diller who was also preparing to enter the competition, so they rejected the offer. At the same time it began to induce the two to bid.

Redstone was not in love with the battle. He found out that the situation did not take a second, and then decided to shift his target. He bought the audio-visual chain giant Blockbuster for 8.4 billion yuan. Barry Diller was not in a hurry to see the main competitor leaving the market, so he started peacemaking with peace of mind. Ramon negotiated slowly, trying to drive down the purchase price.Unexpectedly, the old fox Redstone backhanded Blockbuster to the bank, mobilized a full 10 billion of funds, and made a second offer to buy Paramount. This time Paramount lost trust in Barry Diller, and his psychological defense was also there. This price completely collapsed, without any further delay, and the acquisition was successful.

In just a few weeks, Lei Shidong instigated two shocking acquisitions totaling 18.4 billion yuan, shaking Quanmi. His personal fortune of less than 4 billion dollars has skyrocketed afterwards, and his territory and personal power in the entertainment media industry have stepped up again. A new unrivaled peak, fame and fortune.And another tycoon, Barry Diller, not only returned empty-handed, but was also spurned by Wall Street Capital, which provided financial assistance for his purchase of Paramount. His personal wealth has shrunk sharply, and the two years of fighting has come to an end.

Now Redstone’s media, entertainment, audio-visual distribution, and cinema resources will all escort the new Paramount, to show off the strong film A-Gump that happened to run into his family during my life, Song Ya will not be shot. Thank you very much, how dare you expect to win his MTV movie award.

Old Larry is much more nervous than Song Ya. "Forrest Gump is starring Tom Hanks. He was very well received for the sleepless night in Seattle last year. He also won the Oscar for best actor based on the Philadelphia story. That movie Will be our big potential opponent."

"Yes, so I plan to see the Philadelphia story tomorrow."

That sensitive drama about HIV patients' fight for rights has already won 70 million box office and is still in theaters. However, there are only less than 600 theaters left. It is estimated that it will be released soon. I want to watch it quickly.

"I don't want to watch..." Mariah Carey acted like a baby on the side.

"Then what do you want to see?" Song Ya asked her.

"Four weddings and a funeral." She said, "It must be about marriage."

"..."

"Haha, it's not it." Stanbulakheitch laughed, "I won't be spoiled for details, but it's very enjoyable. It's a romantic comedy filmed by the British, starring the popular niche Hugh Grant over there. ."

"Just look at this." Mariah Carey nodded.

"Well, watch both, and watch them together."

"Don't think too much about it. Commercial high school musicals and Forrest Gump's drama audience do not overlap."

Stanbulakhitch pulled the topic back and raised his wine glass. "The summer file is very rare. Even if it is in the middle stage, it is estimated that the box office will not lose to the first in the off-season. I wish your movies are selling well..."

"I wish the movie a big hit." Song Ya and Mariah Carey clinked glasses with him with a smile.

"By the way, I pray that Universal will not spoil our affairs." Old Larry was still upset with the attitude of those Universal just now.

"To Universal, cheers."

Universal has no strong films in this summer, so life is not easy, but it is a good thing to dance my life.

The next day, before the dubbing work had begun, Song Ya and Mariah Carey contracted a single-hall movie theater, and now there are fewer and fewer movie theaters in Los Angeles.

Four weddings and a funeral are the kind of movies that are full of British humor. Hugh Grant is very handsome. The characters in the drama he plays are also very special. They are both small and gentle, that is, shy and sullen. Dedicated and bothered...

In the play, the encounter, separation and reunion with the heroine at different weddings and funerals is also very dramatic. In the end, the hero confessed the truth at his wedding, leaving his fiancée and choosing the one who had just divorced from her husband. Heroine.

Mariah Carey was fascinated by the romantic drama of escaping the marriage at the wedding scene and choosing the true lover in her heart. Her only dissatisfaction was the ending, "What the hell is the man and woman agreeing to stay together for a lifetime but not getting married..."

"In fact, this is not bad..." Song Ya thoughtfully.

"Ok?"

"Uh, I mean, don't you think the male and female protagonists are scumbags? He is romantically pursuing true love, but what about the poor fiancee who was abandoned at the wedding? There is no sense of responsibility at all." Song Ya pointed The end caption said.

"Yes." Mariah Carey thought for a while, nodding her head repeatedly.

"Take a break, the next one is the Philadelphia story." Song Ya reminded her, "Are you going to the bathroom?"

"No, I'm sleepy again."

Mariah Carey yawned.

"Well, I put my arms around you to sleep."

Song Ya hugged her and continued to wait for the next movie.

Stanbulakhitch is right. It's the off-season for watching movies. The four weddings and one funeral that just ended the small-scale screening will probably win the box office championship this week. How much is that?It is said that it will not exceed six million dollars, and this result is not even the top three in the summer file.

After waiting for a long time, the Philadelphia story began to be screened, and the more I watched, the heart became colder. Shinco's Oscar actor Tom Hanks performed amazingly in this show. He played an AIDS man deeply, especially dragging. In the scene where the sick body insisted on giving testimony in court, for myself, who already knew a lot of acting knowledge, there was a feeling of standing back and never expecting to catch up.

"Filmmaking is tiring and time-consuming, and money is hard to make. It's not worth investing too much energy in acting!"

Dress up cool and handsome, Song Ya feels that the future of her actor is just like that. The reality is cruel, not to mention Tom Hanks, even Hugh Grant’s acting skills can’t be matched. It's a movie of the level of the Philadelphia story..." He secretly prayed for the box office of my life.

"It's really annoying, what's the matter with such a weak psychology that no one can compare with fear?"

He immediately reacted, "As a traverser, isn't a tycoon like Lei Shidong the goal I want to fight for? That's it!"
