Chicago 1990

"My role was the first to be decided. There are many scenes, and it can even be said to be a male lead."

Escobe was very proud, "And it's a white film. I defeated all my opponents through the standard audition process."

"Is that the only black person, good person, dead person?"

Song Ya made fun of him.Because of political correctness, Hollywood will bring at least one black actor in the movie unless it is a movie in a certain period, usually a positive role, the kind of selfless selflessness to save others, so it often hangs halfway. This has gradually become a widespread stalk. Up.

"Ha! Live to the end in a horror thriller, otherwise I won't act, they need to rely on my fame." Escobe bragged.

"Horror movie? Small cost?" This project sounds a bit overhanging.

"Fxxkyou! APLUS, the budget is 45 million. Columbia Pictures produces and distributes all packages. I'm not kidding this time."

As a cross-border singer, most of the dramas that Escuber has starred in in recent years are street blacks who brought money into the group. The box office has lost money and made money. Generally speaking, the vision is very good. Block boys are not counted. At the beginning of last year, He gave his good brother Gary Gray the opportunity to direct his debut work. A "Friday" was a big success, with a production cost of only 3.5 million and a box office of nearly 30 million.

"Do you know the status of the actress casting?" Song Ya asked him.

"The whole film only needs ten actors and two female characters..." Escobe introduced.

The Anaconda Disaster is actually a heroine drama, which is unfolded from the heroine’s first-person perspective. According to the script introduced by Es Cube, it will be very colorful, sexy, strong, vigorous, independent, and the terrifying python of the Amazon basin. Fight to the end and survived.

The role of another actress is also okay. After all, there are only ten actors, all of whom are crew members on an expedition ship.

"Anyway, help me keep an eye on the female role audition?"

Columbia Pictures’ big production, forty-five million can be considered a big production. They have always liked Escobe, because of the successful cooperation of the boys in the neighborhood, but this time, Escobe failed to win the money. Team, the neighborhood boy missed some box office share from Columbia Pictures, and Columbia Pictures will not give another chance, so his influence on the crew is not enough.

"OK, we keep in touch."

But it's okay to check the progress of the casting, click on the side to help, and report the news to yourself.

Although Motura exerted and penetrated some influences on Columbia Pictures when he was the president of North Missoni Entertainment, it is now Warner Veteran John Cali, and John Cali has a good relationship with him... at least on the surface.In the last time the two sides had a'peace talk', he also promised to give something back in the film industry as a condition for him to give up working against Sony.

According to Mira's current situation, it is estimated that she will be able to get a female partner, and she should be able to help.

Song Ya got a quick reply from Escobe, and asked again: "Right, 2PAC said to collaborate with you on new songs? Why, are you planning to return to the bandit rap circle this year?"

"Uh……"

The Escuber on the other end of the phone hesitated, "Yes, I promised 2PAC, but..."

After the East Coast War, as an old member of .A, As Cube gradually became marginalized in the West Coast gangster rap circle. He plunged into Hollywood to protect himself. As a result, everyone almost forgot him now, even relying on 2PAC. Those little singers who have dinner have a higher degree of radio discussion than him.

The trend of this industry and the tastes of the audience are changing rapidly. As a smart man, he found that he would really get out of the music circle if he didn’t come back to make some news, so he also imitated 2PAC and Biggie and formed a gangster rap group with a younger brother. The circle shows a sense of existence, let's talk about it, taking advantage of 2PAC and fans still recognize his seniority in West Coast gang rap.

The above are all Song Ya's guesses based on the industry intelligence collected by A+ Records. "But what?" He wanted to hear what Escubber said.

"It will be a little later. I think the atmosphere inside the death row record is a bit weird. I originally wanted to wait until the second half of the year... But you know, 2PAC's big mouth can't keep any secrets. He used my support as a show off and came to DISS East Coast. "Escube said.

"Weird? Because of what?" Song Ya asked.

"I can't tell, just feeling, intuition... Brother APLUS." He has reservations.

Anyway, it was none of his own business. Song Ya hung up and called Snoop Dogg to spy on him. He was also staggered and left behind.

In short, I can help Mila again, just a supporting role, and I should be able to get it done by just hanging up the phone with John Carly. That's the Colombian president.Plus the song promised to Mira... It should make up for the blockbuster heroine and other fashion industry opportunities she lost after breaking up with the French director.

He looked up John Carly's phone number in the phone address book, put his finger on the dial button and didn't press it down.

Wait, wait... Mila didn't say anything yet, so she called to apologize, and asked about the song that is not countable. She didn't even ask for help, so she gave the package a gift. Served with both hands?

And after licking her back to her side again?Another girlfriend with a stable relationship?Then turn around and live a life of arguing and bickering, stealing food like a thief?

"Sure, I don't have any self-control right now..."

He knew exactly what kind of character Mira used to be, but now, in Los Angeles, there is a large lush forest waiting for him.

No, he put down his phone, intending to find an opportunity to meet with Mira first, and lay out everything clearly before making a decision. The scum will also be clear.

"Mr. Johnny Carson is waiting for you at the hotel." Hayden reminded.

"Ok."

Put your thoughts away, at least at this Oscar, Song Ya knew that his publicly inseparable lover would be Johnny Carson, the king of talk shows who had ruled the entire meter for 30 years. He walked on the red carpet, took seats at the awards ceremony and even took the stage. Winners for the best adapted screenplay will be together, if possible.

After Cat and Mouse Games failed to collect the Golden Globes, he and Hollywood Pictures President Linton felt that Harvey Weinstein did not really help this year. Both began to use their own methods to show off their magic. Linton used the parent company. Disney launched a public relations campaign, and used the old method of the recording industry to win prizes. By mailing the so-called supplement of Amerika Music Magazine to the judges, it included a cat and mouse game movie soundtrack CD, movie video tape, MD player and even video recorder and other'small' gifts .

At this time, Johnny Carson’s cooperation is particularly important. The old man’s long-standing contacts will expire and become invalid if they are not dug up. Song Ya and Linton have gotten from him the contact information of many of the college of film arts and sciences. , Public relations tricks and unspoken rules.

"APLUS, APLUS, my little APLUS."

After a lonely few years after retirement, Johnny Carson, who was able to return to the center of the public eye by winning an Oscar, is also very active in calling public relations in person, but will that mean and mean mouth be counterproductive It's hard to say.

The old man was full of energy today and welcomed him with open arms in the hotel suite, "No one can question our investment vision this time!"

In his life, he has been scorned by the repeated defeats in business and the ridicule of his opponents for schadenfreude. The cat and mouse games he invested in are selling well, and the adaptation of the script has been nominated for Oscars. In the twilight years of his life, he can still slap his face back. A cool word.

Speaking of which, if it were not for these benefits, there would be no need to write his name in the screenwriter. His first version of the cat and mouse game script had been sold.

He has won six Emmy Awards, Peabody Award, Commander's Medal of Freedom, Kennedy Center Award and almost all other honors that a talk show host can get, and he was inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame, but he has never seen it in his life. The side of the Oscars, not to mention the chance to get it now!

No matter how pleasing the old man sees himself, he gave him an extremely enthusiastic hug.

"You deserve it, Mr. Carson."

Song Ya smiled and complimented.There are also many hidden benefits from this old man, such as Mr. Roy Disney’s care of cat and mouse game projects, such as the many help on Oscar public relations, and sometimes the tips on finding people and how to find the right people are actually just one sentence It's a matter of words, but to be able to say this accurately, it is absolutely impossible without many years of experience and contacts.

During the Oscars, he was inseparable from this old man, and always showing respect for him with body movements and words can also bring him a lot of goodwill among middle-aged and old white audiences. Now I need these things to regain the loss of divorce.

"But you are late to APLUS. I have stayed in this hotel for three days. Hollywood before and after the Oscars is wonderful." He laughed: "If I were younger, you would never imagine how crazy I could be. "

Indeed, this old man is more active than himself and Linton in accepting interviews from various media in his suite all day long.

"Hey, everybody." Even if the original author, the legendary liar, Abagnell, another extremely active author, he also took this opportunity to jump up and down in Hollywood, gaining eyeballs, and desperately marketing his new books and paid speeches. .

The Oscar is a big stage, big business, the film industry can accommodate practitioners and business opportunities than the record industry is still much larger.

Then, Kunes and other three co-writers followed Abagnell, as well as the soundtrack who was nominated for best film score with Song Ya, and John Malkovich, who was nominated for best actor. Johnny Carson prepared a small salon for everyone in this suite.

Before the crew draws the final stop, everyone is cheerful, friendly, harmonious, and touted each other.

"The art of stealing, your new book."

Song Ya and Linton focused their efforts on negotiating with Abagnell for the right to adapt his new book as a sequel to the cat and mouse game. "Can't it be cheaper?" Linton asked.

"It doesn't depend on me. The key lies in your competitors." The liar is proud of himself, how could he let go, "The higher price is, it's fair, isn't it? Just a reminder, your opponents are many, very strong..."

"Maybe I can make a part of it?"

Jared Leto, who is already a popular Hollywood actor, joined the conversation from behind Song Ya, "Mr. Abagnell, I can't deny that your new book is very important to my career. Mr. APLUS, Mr. Linton, yes. ?"

Indeed, from his point of view, it is of course the best that Cat and Mouse Game has been filmed as a series. As the'first' male protagonist, he got poorly paid at the time, but the sequel?Hehe, if the producer doesn't want to take the risk of changing roles in the middle, he will inevitably compromise with his lion.

Inflated, boy, "I don't care." Song Ya kept smiling and looked at Linton.

The lead actor intervenes in the producer's script choice?Disney’s tradition is not accustomed to this stinking problem, Linton immediately frowned, "I don’t want to talk to an actor on this kind of thing on this occasion, let your agent go to the office to see me in the right way, Jared ."

"Okay, I'm sorry Mr. Linton." Jared Leto apologized in panic.

"Be out of company, talk to you."

Song Ya saw Amy who had just appeared at the door and was looking around, put the wine glass on the waiter's tray and strode to greet him.

"Hi!" Amy greeted in surprise.

"Hey." He went up in a bear hug, and there were acquaintances in the salon, it was all right.

No more sneaking up, it’s nice...
