Chicago 1990

"Maybe, a few years ago, I was on the cover of a seventeen-year-old magazine..."

Song Ya sits in the front row of the theater closer to the corner. When the high-level prostitute played by Xue Linfen appeared on the big screen, he tilted his head slightly to observe the reactions of film critics.

The old white men were very attentive and kept their eyes on them.

Xue Linfen’s Hollywood golden age celebrity face combined with the current popular late-stage soft-light filter technology, it is almost amorous and charming. It can be said that the actress who completely crushed the original version from body to face value. When she slowly put her hand to her mouth, she looked at the audience in front of the curtain with seductive eyes, and then opened her lips slightly, biting the fingertips of the silk gloves, almost sucking them off...

Song Ya heard a heavy inhalation sound from someone in the back row.

The male protagonist Jared Leto is not as handsome as Xiaoli, but his acting skills are really good. It shows the young man's ecstatic attitude that he thinks he was hit by a peach blossom luck, and he will be invited to "the little star and sociable who happened to be" Go into your room.

As soon as the picture turned, the flirting process was omitted by Big Scissors, and the two had already kissed passionately.

Song Ya rolled his eyes and automatically filtered this paragraph.

The completion of the cat and mouse game makes him feel very strange. Compared with the first Apocalypse movie "Dancing My Life", except for the amount of investment

, His control and attention to the project are much weaker, which causes the final result to be far from the original, even with big scissors and post-remediation.

The film is fifteen minutes shorter than the original version. At the beginning of the five-minute period, the plot of the male protagonist participating in variety shows was completely abandoned. All plot interactions between him and his father were kept, but five minutes were compressed to make the rhythm more compact. The five minutes that disappeared are the second half of the film depicting how he was arrested in France and working for the FBI after his arrest.This allowed the film to reach the two hours required by Bowei Pictures, not counting the five minutes of final subtitles.

The orchestral soundtrack made on the basis of the simple melody provided by me is very different from the original, but the sound is wonderfully similar. The picture performance, mirroring style, and cast are all different, but the other taste is not bad. , Jared Leto did not have Xiao Li's innocence, but after his release from prison, his long hair and beard image was more vicissitudes of life than Xiao Li and more persuasive.

Now Amy Adams is younger and more beautiful. It is more suitable and more pleasing to play the ignorant nurse.

Ashley Judd looks more prettier than Allen Pompey in the original version. She has a sweet smile and is as good as the male lead's sex scene.

Another actress that Harvey Weinstein stuffed in, the girl who snatched the role of Charis’ bank teller was much worse than the original actor. The temperament of a silly girl from the United States was shown, but she braved the silly seduce. The method did not perform well, it was just a small episode and did not affect the overall situation.

Male second John Malkovich presented the role of an FBI agent more than Tom Hanks...sophisticated and sophisticated. This has something to do with looks. Even if he wears intellectual glasses, he is not as good as Tom Hank. Sri Lanka's unique look and feel of harmless natural humans and animals.

Jeremy Irons’s male number three, that is, the male protagonist’s father’s lines are more sonorous and powerful. The speech before bankruptcy is more passionate than Christopher Walken in the original version. After the bankruptcy, he behaves more desolately than Christopher Walken. It does not have the kind of forbearance that the other party has strong demeanor, but it stimulates the audience more directly.

All... Not bad, Song Ya feels that film critics and the judges of various film awards will like it. After all, the things that Ridley Scott made, and the pictures of cats and tigers waving big scissors from the original film photos of unknown directors. .

"Do you want to play cards?"

Xue Linfen and Leto sat on the bed, she suddenly got up and went to the table to pick up a deck of cards, Leto asked.

"How much did it cost?" Xue Linfen in the close-up asked, holding the poker in her hand.

"55 cents? It seems to be." Leto didn't know why the beauty got rid of the lingering and asked this, and replied blankly.

"If they sell me in the shop downstairs, how much would you pay?"

Social Flower used a suggestive question to show the true face of a high-level prostitute. Some spectators who took the place of the male protagonist made the voice of regret that peach blossoms had changed into money transactions.

"Sorry, I... what am I willing to pay?"

Leto was dumbfounded at first, but he played the legendary liar Abagnell. He quickly reacted, but he didn't immediately reveal it.

The small movements, subtle expressions, body postures, and Leto's presentation are different. The result is the same as Xiao Li, who conveys this subtle emotional change to the audience very clearly.

During the dialogue between the two, the constant front and back shots are almost the same as the original. There are some'paradigms' in the Hollywood film industry pipeline that are basically not shifted by the director.

"whole night……"

When Xue Linfen said this to the camera, she uttered to her bones, "How much are you willing to pay me a night?"

But to be fair, in terms of acting, she has a distance from the original actress. After the original actress said this, her expression changed slightly. She was ashamed, embarrassed, sad... But she didn't want to expose her inner loneliness in front of the guests. .

For money, fake communication was spent in front of handsome boys tearing up the disguise and turning back into prostitutes, and the mutual attraction of men and women turned back to money transactions. She would always feel a little sad.

Xue Linfen didn't show such subtle emotions at all. In order to give birth to Robb, she rested for too long. Besides, Song Ya didn't realize that she had this ability in the bad movies she had made before, and never did.

But victory is that beautiful face, the old white men like it very much.

After some bargaining, the male lead offered a sky-high price of 1,000 dollars a night in the 1960s, and the prostitute happily agreed.

"You wait here, I'll be right back."

The male lead rushed to the door. The prostitute thought he wanted to run away, and asked anxiously: "Wait, where do you want to go?"

"I'll go downstairs to cash the check." The male protagonist blocked her gaze with his body, took out a pile of checks, and put away the small denominations, leaving only a $1,400 one.

"The hotel will not cash you a check for $1,000 at three in the morning."

"I have New York savings and loan checks, like gold, they will cash it." The male lead turned around and took out his fake check and shook it triumphantly.

"They will be suspicious, let me see! It is indeed a cash check, can you sign me?" The prostitute's eyes beamed.

"NO, I can't just give you that. We negotiated a price of 1,000 dollars, and the denomination of this check is 1,400."

The prostitute played by Xue Linfen dropped the card in her hand, "I can find you 400 dollars, can't it be enough?" She reached into her evening dress chest, the prostitute likes to hide money and took out a stack of cash, counted 400 dollars and handed it. To the host, exchanged a check...

"Hahaha!"

The liar splendidly reacted to the occasion, and the self-thinking prostitute who was slept for one night was looking for a smart prostitute. When the two reached a deal and kissed again, laughter broke out in the audience.

"This girl is so beautiful."

When the blonde and white girl from Charis fell drunk along the wall while uttering lines in a few seconds, there was a small laugh in the audience, Song Ya heard someone muttering in the back row.

Hehe, it's already in my shape, Song Ya secretly smiled in his heart.

"What do you think? Daniel?" When the film was over, the professionals who watched the film generously gave a standing ovation. Yeremov brought some of the chief creators to Chicago and got up from the front row and bowed to them.

"Very good, I have the ability to catch my title, which matches the musical style of cats and mice." Daniel praised from his point of view, "Your project looks like you won't lose money at least. Can you get an award?"

"I don't know, the quality of the film itself is one aspect, and public relations is also one aspect." Song Ya looked at the big film critic Roger Albert, who was expressionless and put the small book into his pocket, whispered.

"In short, I wish you success."

Daniel patted him on the shoulder and smiled.

"You must go back to New York tonight? Then I will let the crew take you off, Linda, you can arrange it."

The order in the theater began to mess up. Some people came over to shook hands with the creator and talked about the pros and cons of the movie, and some chose to leave. Song Ya called Linda to her side and exhorted a few words.

After sending Daniel away, he went to Roger Albert to ask about the score, "It's a very good movie." The big film critics who have received a lot of public relations benefits from A+ Pictures and Hollywood Pictures are justified, "But I like David better. The Seven Deadly Sins of Vinci, did you watch that movie?"

"I watched it." The movie was indeed very powerful, "Jealousy, rage...the murder case linked by seven deadly sins, David Fincher was brilliantly dealt with, with unparalleled religious elements, horror, suspense, and dramatic conflict. "Song Ya nodded.

"Villain Kevin Spacey's performance, wow, he deserves an Oscar for best actor, no one can compete with him." Roger Albert smiled pointedly: "I heard that he also auditioned for cat and mouse. game?"

"Yes, the second male, but his high IQ, crazy, self-destructive villain image in that movie may be deeply rooted for a long time, but he may not be suitable for playing a positive role in the cat and mouse game again." Song Ya Reply.

"Hehe, it makes sense, but he did a great job." Roger Albert ended the conversation.

"Leave him alone, he will give our movie a good rating and review, and we will definitely succeed!"

Yeremov came over after the party. He was very excited and whispered to Roger Albert's back.

"I hope so. Mr. Linton, yes, I have just finished here, how is the reaction from Los Angeles?" Song Ya was answering Linton's call, "Ridley Scott is very angry? How angry is he? Yes. The film critic said to his face that he was imitating Spielberg's style? Not so? I didn't feel it..."

In short, the director is too late to get angry now. Linton is putting out the fire there, and try to persuade him not to release news that is unfavorable to the box office and prize rush before the show. Ridley Scott should be clear... right?

Yeremov began to compile the evaluations of the on-site professionals and was generally very satisfied with the film. Of course, this is generally not counted. They praised it face to face, and what they would write in their own column is another matter.

But the next morning, Daniel called, and he was very angry.

"APLUS! What's the matter!? I just heard that Mariah Carey is suddenly going to get the copyright of her songs back into the deal between Sony and MJ!? Do you not make this decision before discussing it with me?"

"WTF? No, I don't know." Song Ya was stunned.

"You can call her now to ask clearly! I will be embarrassed if you do this! You must know that Sony has the right to add the copyright of your songs into the merger transaction with MJ's ATV copyright library. The addition of the copyright of your songs will make Sony pays a lot less cash to MJ, it's me! I keep persuading them that you two are very determined. If they forcefully do this, you and Mariah Care will definitely make trouble or choose not to renew their contract. They dare not act rashly! Now it means that I became a villain in front of the parent company for you, but turned around but was sold?"

Daniel said faster and faster, "You know APLUS, because of that antitrust lawsuit, Sony had a lot of dissatisfaction with me. If you compare this company to a person, he just won in the DVD standard dispute. Victory, he has lost a lot of practical benefits. He is very upset now! He is full of anger and has nowhere to vent!"

"Don't be angry with Daniel, wait for me to ask first, okay?" Song Ya hung up the phone and hurriedly called his wife.

"Yes, I let Sandy Glenn do that." Mariah Carey replied lightly.

"Why are you doing this!?" Song Ya shouted at the phone, "Daniel is now innocent by you!"

"Punishment, remember? My rules..."

She was quite proud, "My song, my copyright, I can deal with it whatever I want, you have no right to interfere. Oh, yes, and I just watched the cat and mouse game in New York, you put Xue Linfen The shots with Amy Adams are beautiful, and the drunk white girl who is stupid and silly. She starred in many of your MVs, right? Drunk with Fergie in Chicago? Don't think I know nothing!"

'Hey!'The phone was hung up.

"Daniel, uh...Mimi did that." Song Ya called back to Daniel again.

"Fxxk!"

"You haven't left Chicago yet? Wait for me, I'll go back to New York with you."

Daniel helped a lot in this matter. He told Sony’s leadership that APLUS and Mariah Carey resolutely did not agree to add the copyright of the song to the deal with MJ, very resolute.Now that Mariah Carey has withdrawn, it means that his words are just a pretext to deceive the superior, what would Sony think of him?

"This is not the way to do APLUS. The alliance between you and Mariah Carey is disintegrated, then I can no longer protect the copyright of your songs. Wait for Sony to add your songs to the merger transaction with ATV! And follow me Inside and out are not the unlucky NAS and his manager Newman, and the little singers!"

Song Ya hurriedly led people to New York. Daniel once again made clear his attitude on the phone, and it was difficult to persuade him.

Is this the retribution for his crazy derailment?She has no evidence, but the punishment is more severe than the last time she was caught on the scene?

"Where is Mimi!?"

The phone couldn't get through, Song Ya rushed into Tribeca's house, only his wife's manager Sandy Glen was there, "You urged her behind me, didn't you?" Angrily, he pulled Sandy Glen by the collar. Live, "You didn't completely fall out with MJ, did you? You are still helping MJ!"

"It's none of my business, APLUS, I persuaded her, she has been talking about punishing you and punishing you all this time, didn't I remind you quietly? She was very angry after watching the cat and mouse game last night. No one can persuade her!" Sandy Glen showed innocent eyes.

"Cheat a three-year-old!"

Song Ya let go of her hand, "Why would she suddenly think of this when no one is knocking on her side? I don't think it will be an accident at all, and I almost forgot about it! But this is not a trivial matter Sandy! Didn't Sony's crisis of confidence hurt her? We had a very comfortable alliance with Daniel!"

"I can't control it anyway. Go and persuade her yourself. She's going to a banquet held by Sony Music Rights and ATV." Sandy Glen reported an address.

"Mimi..."

Song Ya casually changed her formal attire and went straight there. His wife was smiling and talking to a man with a wine glass. Seeing herself, she rolled her eyes and turned her head.

"APLUS, APLUS..." The man turned around, with a mean smile on his face.

"It is you."

It turned out to be MJ’s lawyer Aaron Brugman, the guy who leaked the content of his conversation when he met MJ. He was almost swept out by MJ because of his complaint, but MJ suffered a huge blow in the 1993 case. On the contrary, I trust him more, and I want to speak alone."Song Ya didn't bother to say anything.

"OK."

Aaron Brugman took the wine glass and left slowly. When he was about to pass by, he suddenly said in his ear: "Kid King."

"What?" Song Ya didn't hear too clearly, nor did he understand what it meant.

"Kids, do you remember APLUS? MJ told you that when a group of children got together, there would always be people who would use small tricks to make themselves king of kids..."

Aaron Brugman raised his glass, "ATV and Sony are honored to share half of the copyright of all your music. I wish us a happy cooperation."

"Hehe..." Song Ya desperately suppressed his anger, trying to cock the corners of his mouth to reply a few ruthless words, but couldn't think of a suitable counterattack at all, and opened his mouth and closed it again.

"Sorry, borrowed it." Aaron Brugman observed his reaction, even more proud.

"Hmph." The remaining two faced each other, Mariah Carey pouted and looked at the sky proudly at 45 degrees.

Many people nearby noticed this, Song Ya also turned around and left.

"Where did you go?" Mariah Carey waited for a while and felt something was wrong, and caught up with Linda who was the last one. "What kind of attitude is he!? Is it reasonable?"

"Stupid girl!"

Linda grabbed her arm for half a circle with the explosive power of the black aunt, "Sometimes, certain things, men can't lose, do you understand?"

With his hands in his pockets, Song Ya walked out of the banquet hall, there seemed to be paparazzi outside, and the flash was on.

Old Mike opened the car door, and there was a clatter of high-heeled shoes behind him, and one arm was bent, he lifted his arm up violently, and got into the car.
