Chicago 1990

Claire..."

The lyrics of many songs in the second special school were a little bit colorful, and the stadium could not be sung. When Song Ya’s Young Dumb greeted the curtain call, the audience cheered more than Underwood. He waved his hand and walked into the aisle, but he didn’t make it again. appear.

Sloan, who was staying in the box, received a call, "Mr. Underwood, I'm sorry, there is an emergency for APLUS. He must rush to Hollywood right away."

"Is it convenient to tell us?"

Underwood and his wife looked at each other.

"It's nothing, it's Hollywood trouble..." Sloan explained: "The director of his film project just made a negative statement."

Thanksgiving Day is approaching. Cat and Mouse Games has launched the final round of screenings. Film reviews have also been lifted. Biographies are added with 1960s themes and mainstream commercial dramas. Hollywood Pictures President Linton worked very hard from the parent company. Disney has won a lot of publicity resources, and the professional response is naturally very good.

The project is expected to sell well, and it is frequently reported that it will be shortlisted for various film awards from the end of this year to the beginning of next year. The film crew members have already started crazy speculation.

The protagonist, Abagnell, is the most active. He is full of vitality to attend events, variety shows, and speeches, talk about the upcoming cat and mouse game, and promote his homeopathic book: "The Art of Stealing".

Next is Jared Leto. The blond actor has a very good appeal among young people, especially among the group of American girls who have fascinated him from what I call life dramas. Lace scandals, clothing, drama, and character. Waiting for a variety of drafts and soft writing to get a lot of exposure.

Handsome, loves to play rock music, quiet, infatuated, talented in life...

His agent began to help create various labels. He himself was very upbeat. He was basically insulated from negative news. In the publicity stage, he always appeared in a suit or punk style, with mid-length hair and a soft short beard. The human setting is a bit between Johnny Depp and Xiao Lizi, but he is more obedient and does not play around.

"Seriously, did he look a bit like Jesus on the cross when he had this hairstyle? His face and appearance were all similar, with deep-set eye sockets, beautiful double eyelids and long eyelashes, as well as the loneliness and melancholy that always exudes... …"

After boarding the plane in a hurry, Song Ya put down the gossip magazine in his hand and smiled.

"Uh, he is not important. Now it is the director Ridley Scott who publicly accuses Disney of editing his film completely away from the original intention..." Dr. May reminded.

"I know, I'll talk about it when I see them."

The director Ridley Scott has been tantrums since the first screening. In his opinion, the hard-working works were cut to pieces by the distribution company, not to mention, but also to be teased by film critics. Imitating Spielberg, he and Spielberg are basically contemporaries. He is ten years older and lags behind in commercial achievements, but his artistic achievements are not lost. At least he is unwilling to give in.

Now the outside world says that he can't get the job because he is rushing to the street, so he has to learn from the winner, Spielberg, who is the No. 1 box office in film history, and also learns from the other party's film rhythm and began to shoot mainstream commercial films.

Artists of Ridley Scott's level are all very arrogant without exception. He is always said to be a trend-following imitator. How can he stand it? He doesn't want to endure it, but because the pace of announcements has accelerated recently, his frequency of contact with the media has increased. Gao Gao, after being asked relevant questions again and again, finally couldn't hold back, and suddenly broke out, in front of the camera, he said complaints about how much his movie had been cut, and pointed the finger directly at it. Two Disney companies are responsible for production of Hollywood Pictures and Bowei Pictures for distribution.

"He has a criminal record. After Blade Runner's box office failure, he incited fans to attack Warner for a full ten years. When Warner released the director's cut version last time, he still jumped out and said that it was not the real director's cut version. Distressed. We at Disney are not used to his bad temper..."

In the conference room of Hollywood Pictures, the CEO of Bowei Pictures held a cigar and was very upset. "Linton, let me tell you the truth. If you can't get him, you don’t want to get good resources. Pixar The schedule of Toy Story is better, and we are more optimistic about the family cartoon."

"Wouldn't it be worse? If the cat and mouse game is like Blade Runner, the box office lost at the time but the word of mouth gradually increased over time, we will finally be back." Linton does not want to see the cat and mouse game pounce on the street, Quickly persuade.

"I said I shouldn't ask him to be the director." The CEO of Bowei Pictures put aside his aftermath, "Is it all right now? Then what do you say we should do?"

The two senior managers considered the problem not from the company's perspective, but from the personal perspective. For them, the success of the project is second, and the first one is naturally not to let their own careers be blamed, such as The Blade Runner movie did not have the box office, and the Warner executives who made the decision at that time had to be chased by the aggrieved Ridley Scott and fans for ten years. Who could stand it.

Although Blade Runner finally made a lot of profits in the video tape market by relying on its super high reputation, professional managers can't wait that long. Maybe they didn’t wait for the boss who had been irritated to come out and fired. Who makes sense?

"So the cat and mouse game project cannot fail. Today we'd better persuade the stubborn old man." Linton said.

"Hmph, I didn't cut it anyway."

The CEO of Bowei Pictures glanced at Song Ya and Yeremov who turned to the left and right, and sneered to pave the way for him.

"Uh, anyway, I will try to persuade him together later."

Song Ya looked at Yeremov.

"Boss... shall we go out and talk? Go out and talk..."

Yeremov was very aggrieved. He nodded and bowed to the big guys and invited Song Ya out of the meeting room. "The old man is very excited now, we can't deal with him. The best result now is the success of the cat and mouse game at the box office. Everyone will shoot two in the future. No matter what he says, it won't have a big impact on us."

"Persuaded not to turn around?"

"Persuaded not to look back, even Warner has nothing to do with him, we..."

Yeremov whispered, "Maybe we shouldn't cut too much."

"My fault?"

Song Ya is upset, I made it according to the original version!

Of course there is nothing to say to the outside world, "In short, the box office success is nothing big, right?"

"Yes." Yeremov replied.

"Ok."

Before Ridley Scott came, the two of them didn't bother to return to the depressed conference room, and simply hid outside to chat, "My forest...no, how is Amy's career progressing?"

"Which Amy? Oh, Amy Adams has entered the countdown round of auditions for the modern remake of Romeo and Juliet. His opponents are very strong, with the'what the hell' heroine Reich Witherspoon, the Adams family With the ghostly elf heroine Christina Ricci, the killer is not too cold, the heroine Natalie Portman. The rational and emotional actress is Kate Winslet, and Kate also got the heroine of the Titanic. Li Zi acts as a couple. As well as my so-called life hero Claire Denis, he, like Leto, also depends on that drama to become popular, and the drama is even more important..."

Yeremov said, "Hayden and William Morris are desperately fighting for the role of Amy, the competition is very fierce."

"Wow, they are all young actresses with both strength and connections?" Song Ya took a breath, "Amy is not dominant in any aspect."

Christina Ricci and Natalie Portman both showed off their acting skills at a very young age. He knew that Amy should not be as good as them now. Kate Winslet was sent by the British Academy, and Hollywood recognized them very much. Qualifications in theatre academies and West End.

Looks...Amy doesn’t have any advantages either. Everyone is very beautiful and has different styles. "No, I have to let Xiao Li help. He is the hero, right?"

"Yes, he defeated Christian Bale early in the casting contest, but... you beat him."

"I'm stupid, come out and ask for a role in person, Emmm..."

Song Ya looked at the ceiling and recalled, "Little Li seems to be afraid of David. Let Hayden ask David Geffen for help. I also call him. He likes me very much now."

Yeremov continued to report.

Halle’s reciting words this year, she was played fiercely by the producer in the King Solomon and Sheba project, and the war between the birth mother and the adoptive mother filmed before the director Stephen Glenhauer of the sequel to my life was also rushed, one thousand seven hundred The production cost was more than 7 million at the box office, but the film had a good reputation for art. She finally came into operation before the awards season and won praises from many performance critics. Recently, she has the highest crisis in filming action movies.

Charis Theron’s gotten from her and the good opportunities she got through her agent are good. Because Spike Lee’s call girl No. 6 was filmed in New York, the other auditions were basically in Hollywood. She has been busy recently. To run around.

Allen Pompei also satisfactorily entered the crew of Jurassic Park screenwriter David Cape's debut novel'Mutant'.

"Yeah, yeah." Song Ya was nodding to express satisfaction. Suddenly there was a quarrel in the office. It should be Ridley Scott who arrived.

The old man brought a lot of battles this time. The lawyer, agent, his brother, and also the director Anthony Scott, and the high-level of the free film studio, seem to be really angry.

"I know it's you, it's you Linton."

Song Ya and Yeremov went in quietly, Ridley Scott had already started a fire on Linton, "During the filming, you have been in this scene and exceeded your budget. There is no need for that scene to interfere with my director. Authoritative and normal work, I have tolerated you for a long time, but I didn’t expect that you would not give up and cut my movie into this look privately!"

"In any case, it is an irresponsible performance that you spread that kind of remarks before the movie is released. Ridley, you say that, how would film critics and major award judges think of cat and mouse games? You are a veteran in the industry. , You know that doing so will be very detrimental to the movie award..."

The CEO of Bowei Pictures released Linton from the side, "This is a major blow to our long-term screening plan."

"So I brought the lawyer. I know that I violated the director's contract. I am willing to compensate." The old man said hardly.

"It's not about money, Mr. Scott, you can't make those remarks anymore, it's not good for us."

Linton was also sulking, Song Ya knew that it was time to speak, "You know what the situation of A+ Pictures and Hollywood Pictures are, we can't afford to lose..."

"Then he shouldn't cut my movie!"

Ridley Scott stared at Linton, "I don't want to challenge Disney's final editing rights, but Linton really cuts too much, and the release version has caused a very big blow to my personal reputation. I'm not saying I hate Spielberg, I have a very good personal relationship with him, but I can't tolerate others thinking that I am imitating him!"

"What's the matter with you Ridley, it's all my fault?"

Linton couldn't bear it anymore, "APLUS and I have prepared a complete script for you, and the final editing is based on the script. You have to take those extra shots... and, moreover, you should blame it most. Isn't it APLUS? It's him who insists on cutting it like that, not me!"

"Linton, you...M-fxxk..."

Song Ya did not expect that he would sell his teammates decisively. Ridley Scott's gang's eyes were all betting, they could only squeeze a smile, and said bitterly: "Mr. Scott, I think so. ..."

"You are so shameless Linton, shirk responsibility on the twenty-one child? Why? Think I will not be embarrassed to lose my temper at APLUS?"

Unexpectedly, Ridley Scott didn't believe it at all, turned his head and continued to scold Linton, "I know it's you, it's you, only you can do it!"

Song Ya curled up his neck when he heard this, and lowered his body along the seat.
