Chicago 1990

Latest URL: "Have you heard? My dear, MJ and Jenny's MV for "Scream" cost 9 million dollars!"

The next morning, the two sat in bed for breakfast. Mariah Carey said with a little jealousy: "Jenny's short haircut and smoky eye makeup in the MV are bold enough. She also pointed her middle finger to the camera... "

"You two have different personalities, styles, and routes. It's not easy to compare. Don't think one is the same."

Song Ya felt that his wife had started to compare with other DIVAs as a demon again, and quickly warned a little, "She can openly put her middle finger up doesn't mean you can too, and since the MV came out, she has also received great criticism from the outside world. ."

"She's really good. She can support her brother so clearly." Mariah Carey sighed while chewing on the vegetable leaves.

"That's true."

Janet Jackson signed Viking North Mi under EMI, and being able to support MJ in this way across the company will definitely bear the pressure and cost of it. Due to the civil settlement of the 1993 case, some Americans did not completely dispel MJ. Negative perception. Now that the two brothers and sisters are so angry about the case and the tabloids that speculate on the case, the disgust of those Americans will inevitably empathize with Jenny. "The Jackson family is still very united, but it is a pity that the alien sister Latoya It's all mixed up." Song Ya sighed.

"Humph."

Mariah Carey probably also thought of her own unreliable sister Alison, and did not continue this topic, "Did you say that the MV really cost nine million? The most expensive MV in history, the price is enough to shoot A good movie."

"The number I heard is seven million. The MV scene uses a lot of CG technology. It is difficult to explain the cost in this respect."

Since the investment films basically don't involve CG post-production, at best they can cut out pictures or something, Song Ya currently knows very little about the digital post-production special effects industry. "In any case, the topic is more, MJ is always like this."

Just like the huge controversy caused by the 11-minute MV of the first single of the last "Dangerous" album, he has almost figured out the routine of the MJ album announcement. For the first shot, MJ has always valued the first song. By creating countless topics and controversies, it can occupy huge news pages and media enthusiasm in a short period of time.

For example, the song Roar, the most expensive MV in history, controversial lyrics such as'I'm fed up with injustice and conspiracy', Janet Jackson's breakthrough new image, and a statue made by MJ looking for an artist who stands like a great man , Sony Columbia Records set the highest record price in history for this two-disc new song plus a selection of albums, up to 30 million yuan in advertising costs,The restarted global tour plan...

And this is the first time he has made an album co-produced by his own record company and Epic Records following the trend.

In this way, everything seems to be back to the time when the'Dangerous' album just set sail. The predators enter the stage, Xiaoxiao retreats, there are books and managers staring at them, and Motura and Epic Records are watching them. Daniel can't and dare not give it. MJ is a stumbling block. This is also the reason why he needs to be silent for a while after the release of the first single Dead And Gone in his second special plan to avoid its edge.

And when I thought that Dead And Gone Song Ya was also resentful, I knew I didn't ask Biggie to participate. The guy went back to New York and inexplicably posted the song "Who shot you" which satirized 2PAC, which caused Dead And Gone to be instantly abandoned in the West Coast market. , Adding a lot to single sales.

Although biggie can’t be blamed, because shortly after the 2nd Hip-Hop Music Awards, 2PAC publicly declared to reporters that he had slept with his wife, Faith Evans, in disguise to provide rationality for his previous mockery of 2PAC, but this It's not a good thing at all, because the morality of the gang rap audience is distorted, so they will not sympathize with the green man, but become more enthusiastic about ridiculing the fat boy who can't control his wife.

"Yesterday's nightclub bill."

Linda walked into the bedroom with a few documents. He glanced at the numbers on the bill and rolled his eyes. "That group of girls can drink so?"

"The MV production cost is shared equally between us and Sony Columbia Records, and it is included in the publicity cost." Linda comforted the boss.

He was in a better mood, signed on the crib table, and returned the document to Linda.

"Can you fire her? Honey..."

Mariah Carey waited for Linda to walk out of the bedroom and repeated the old saying, "She is more and more disrespectful of me now, you see, just now she even stinged me with a smiley face."

"That's because you always like to persuade me to fire her, don't you think she can't feel it for a shrewd person?"

Song Ya quietly lowered her voice and replied, "Not only is she an ordinary assistant, she also manages A+ records for me! She is one of my most important executives!"

"I hate her, she is not pleasing to the eye, husband." She shook Song Ya's arm and acted like a baby.

"Okay, okay, isn't it the last time she was in Highland Park... She dare not now, OK? I warned her not to hide anything from you." Song Ya had to perfuse her temporarily.

"A liar!" She rolled her eyes, dropped Song Ya's arm, put her hands on her chest, turned her face and started a cold war.

"This is a matter of principle and there is no discussion."

Song Ya was not used to her and moved the small table away from the bed. "Also, Yeremov said that 20th Century Fox advises you to add two hundred

Do you agree to the production cost of Wanxingmeng Tears?"

"Ok."

"Remember how I made an agreement with you before? Don't be swayed by them casually. Hollywood likes to induce singers to spend more money on projects!"

"Why did you yell and yell at me in the morning!? That was my first movie. My money is OK? I want to make it perfect."

"It’s not about someone’s money. The more you are led by Twentieth Century Fox, the more likely your project will get out of control! Understand? You insist that Yeremov help you oversee the project, and then you don’t have his opinion. Listen? Now the News Corporation behind the 20th Century Fox, Viacom behind Paramount, and Seagram behind Universal have all encountered a crisis of shrinking stock prices. They are now in a crisis of cash flow, and they can cheat others. After this first time, maybe there will be a second time, you have to keep your eyes open and be alert to them!"

"I don't want to be taught this way by a four-year-old boy, or you who are touted by everyone as a business-minded person. Haven't you been deceived? There are still people laughing at you with that investment case of some 3D company!"

"Ha! It's time for husband and wife to hurt each other now?"

"You insist on arguing with me as soon as you get up..."

"I'm discussing the matter."

"Then you have a better attitude."

"I have a good attitude, but you can't listen!"

"Look, it's always like this... Is it louder than anyone else? Ah!!!"

Song Ya fled in the bombing of her G7 tweeter, "Uh, Larry, why are you here? And Mr. Stanbulakhitch." The Malibu villa is not big, and he ran to the living room and saw sitting on the sofa. The two of them, "Haha, it's okay, we both always do this, we are used to it."

"APLUS, do you know about that art movie with Larry?"

While Dancing My Life was still in theaters, the upright old Larry took over an art film project of Twentieth Century Fox. Stanbulakhitch also became a producer, Maria Kay. Li and Twentieth Century Fox's cooperation was also a match between them. I should have heard the couple quarrel in the living room just now, so now the two old men looked a little embarrassed.

"I know, Twentieth Century Fox pulled your movie forcibly, right?"

Song Ya knew a little bit about it. The old Larry film won a small prize in Europe. After returning to the United States, it was fixed last month. It was on the same period as Ridley Scott’s brother, Anthony Scott’s red tide. The Red Tide box office was okay, with a cost of more than 50 million yuan and a box office of 160 million yuan. Anthony Scott basically had a turnaround, and Hollywood Pictures and President Linton, who was in charge of the production, finally exasperated.

While the old Larry made a big box office jump, the cost of 5.5 million in the first week was only 870,000, and was withdrawn by 20th Century Fox in a week.

"Yes, the Twentieth Century Fox release was a mess, and I didn't even care about our movie."

The two old men were also resentful, yelling at the 20th Century Fox's publicity department, and at the same time secretly asking A+ Pictures if there are new projects, or going to eat and dance the third part of my life.

"Now I have no eyebrows, and I can't set the start date for the third part of my life."

Song Ya really can't help much. "A+ Pictures will only have one black film project in the next year's plan, Larry, if you want to... But let me explain first, the production cost will not exceed one million. Knife, maybe even less than half a million."

"I heard Yeremov talk about it."

Old Larry has always been thin-skinned, and when he asks for help, Stanbulakheich is basically saying: "It seems that your similar projects this year have not even entered the video tape and TV market?"

"Yes, that'how do I stop this' is Elvis Mitchell's script, do you know Mr. Mitchell?" Song Ya replied.

"A well-known African-American film critic, of course." Stanbulak nodded in a strange way.

"His script... is average, but it's not that it can't even enter the video tape market. The young African director we are looking for is not strong enough, so the project failed. If you want, Larry, you will be replaced by similar projects next year. Directing, should not repeat the same mistakes." Song Ya said.

"Well, I think about it."

Although I invested more than 5 million in productions, but I was responsible for the dance of more than 130 million yuan in the box office. Old Larry would not be reduced to no play in Hollywood after a failure. "In the second half of the year, I Will come back to help Kelly Xiao...Oh, Mrs. Song will shoot a new special MV. We will talk again when that happens."

"I understand, don't worry about Larry, it's just a five-million-level project."

The two sides chatted for a long time, Mariah Carey also changed her clothes and came out beautifully, and after a greeting with two old men, they went out to the 20th Century Fox studio and talked about the MV along the way.

Song Ya stayed in Malibu and started to be busy with things. His new TV station just got a head start and was hit by a blow. ABC's 24-hour news station project has not yet started, but the ABC Cable News logo has been registered with the management department. After that, the abbreviation happens to be too, fucking.

In the afternoon, I went to my wife’s studio to visit the class, and I was so tired of it, and then he went directly to the airport to take a private jet back to Chicago.

"APLUS, the court just dismissed Kasidi McGee's prosecution for expelling her from the University of Chicago for restricting free expression. What do you think of this matter?"

A reporter blocked him outside the airport, who was about to board the car and return to Highland Park. "You and her are middle school and university classmates, right?"

"There is nothing to say. I support the school's decision. I disagree with the remarks made by Cassidy McGee recently."

To Cassidy, who is already facing the ultra-conservative white'market', he certainly cannot publicly express any trace of support. After leaving a sentence, he signaled Mavota to separate the reporter.

This few seconds of news appeared on the local television station in Chicago at night.

Cassidy bit her lip and looked at Song Ya in the picture, her eyes sad and silent.

"Don't be angry with Cathy, you have to understand him, he really can't express his support for you publicly, but you also know that he is silently helping you, right?"

Attorney Tascioni said behind her: "You should transfer your energy to fundraising. The amount of fundraising in your account is declining every day. The first day of more than 5,000 dollars is the highest record. If this continues, I will Attorney fees..."

"What can I do? Tarshauni."

Cassidy reluctantly said: "Now my public appearance and photo opportunities are rapidly decreasing, and the people's memory is shorter than a fish... I hope that the failure of this appeal case can attract more attention."

"You have to learn to keep yourself hot, just like those politicians and celebrities..." Tascioni said to the TV.

"I'm thinking of a way, I'm thinking..."
