Chicago 1990

It’s not difficult to make independent films. Some low-cost black-themed films were independently produced by a+ film studios. Now, in Hollywood, most film companies are really purses. Studios, locations, etc. can be rented. , Equipment supply, special effects, etc. are packaged to professional companies. The cast members sign a single film contract according to the project. The risk is small and the capital flow is fast. There are very few people who still retain the legacy of large studios like Hollywood Pictures.

Then there are snakes, snakes, rats, rats, and rats to go to all parts of the country and even abroad to attract investment and tax reduction policies and cultural subsidies for the film industry. This is a pollution-free industry that can provide high-end employment and promote local tourism and other businesses. Support is great. Some people in Hollywood are good at killing'stupid German money', some have the resources of countries such as Britain and France, and some people go to lower costs. Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand, which are all English-speaking countries without cultural barriers, first give local government subsidies, After getting the tax refund, fewer and fewer crews really stay in the local traditional studio in Los Angeles.

The same is true for the Girl Next Door Project. The start date is summer, and it happens to go to Songya’s nest in Chicago to shoot. The governor will allocate some Illinois counterpart subsidies and tax rebates.

"In addition, Xiao Lizi's salary is not high, the cost can be kept low, and independent production is more convenient and perfect."

Due to the foresight of the Apocalypse, in Song Ya’s Hollywood affairs, the girl next door project with the head of the little plum in his hand is progressing rapidly. After careful talk with Yeremov in the car, he thinks the prospects are very good. DreamWorks Their reluctance to issue is absolutely their own loss, "What about Lengshan? How is the progress?" He asked about another project.

"Nothing yet."

Yeremov replied: "The rejection of Universal Pictures by the parent company of Atlantic Monthly, Grove Press, is only temporary. Whether it is cooperation with Ms. Sloan’s station or the adaptation rights of Cold Mountain, they have not yet made a final decision. Daniel thinks they probably want to observe the effect of another Southern-view movie produced by Universal Pictures."

"Yeah." Song Ya nodded and thought.

"Universal Pictures still has an advantage. During the filming of the Chinese director Ang Lee's Ride with the Devil, the props and locations can be seamlessly transferred to Lengshan afterwards. President Ron Meyer is also very sincere. The Atlantic Monthly and Charles Frazier have doubts about the heroine who rides with the devil, quasi diva Pearl, you know that a singer without any acting experience will directly take the lead in this kind of big production drama, and the end will generally not be good. "

Yeremov added.

"Then wait, you and Daniel need to be patient, and let Sharin participate and show up more."

If there is a dispute, it can be up for grabs. Now whether it is The Atlantic Monthly, Charles Fraser or Grove Press, you must know that you don’t need to rush.

"Judy Foster wants to see you."

Yeremov answered the phone and reported.

"She? Is there anything wrong?" Song Ya asked.

"Her Egg Films is under the umbrella of PolyGram Films. Now because PolyGram is about to sell as a whole, the Anna and King project, which entrusted her with great effort, was suddenly stopped midway. Now the world is looking for someone to take over." Ye Remov replied: "And she may also intend to compete for the Lengshan heroine."

"Egg Pictures..."

Song Ya is always amused by the company name of the Oscar double film queen, but Judy Foster is older, with lace edges, and too short, not comparable to the original actress Nicole Kidman of Lengshan Apocalypse , "I don't have time...Wait, did you mention Polaroid Pictures?"

"Yes, PolyGram's film distribution company."

"Let's talk, uh..." My schedule is very tight, "Call her to Xuelin."

"Ok."

The car stopped in front of Xue Linfen’s San Marino mansion, "Halley!?" Song Ya was pleasantly surprised to see Halle Berry lying by the swimming pool with Xue Linfen for some reason, two bikinis in black and white. The beauty shone in the sun.

He looked back at Yeremov, who was silent.

Arranged? Very sweet, swallowed saliva and raised his foot to rush over there, eh? No, three, and an unexpected guest. Quincy Jones' lover, Natasha Kinsky, was lying next to Xue Linfen, and didn't see it at first glance.

"Natasha brought little Kenya to visit Robb, just arrived."

————

It was embarrassing if there were outsiders, Song Ya slammed the brakes, Xue Linfen took off her sunglasses, winking explanation.

"Hi, as." Natasha Kinski was clean and slick, and European women sunbathing without too much burden.

"Hello there."

The scenery is picturesque and the eyes are really eye-catching. Song Ya was about to scratch his scalp today, so she had to stand still and find a word, "Halie, isn't your bragging customer starring in theaters soon?"

"May 15th." Halle replied.

Then there is only less than a month left, "What do you think will be the result of the painting?" Song Ya asked.

"I don't know, Warren Beatty is arrogant, but the movie itself should be considered interesting."

Hallie commented that she pointed to the short dirty braids all over her head, "I have this image in the play, do you see anything?"

"E..."

The half-blood black pearl is really a miracle of freezing age. This look is no different from her appearance when she played Spike Lee's 1991 jungle fever. It seems that the passage of seven years is completely non-existent in her. It's so amazing that her face even has nothing to do with her. The grown-up tomboy, "In other words, in Warren Beatty's stereotype, are you still an actor with a similar image template in the jungle fever?" Song Ya turned his mind to analyze.

"In answer, a black **** the street."

Halle complained, "Seriously, this role makes me feel like I've been on the same spot for seven years in Hollywood."

"Don't say that Halle, you know that Xuelin and I envy you." Natasha Kinsky interjected.

"It's a pity, I thought Warren Beatty would take you to the prize."

With Warren Beatty's status in Hollywood, films written and directed and acted by himself at the age of sixty are undoubtedly rushing for awards.

"I thought it was at first, but he actually didn't care about my performance improvement over the past seven years. He just needs a stereotypical street black girl image."

Halle lazily changed her lying position, her perfect figure without a trace of fat was seen under the three-point swimsuit, "I really regret it, I also voluntarily cut my salary to appear..."

"No wonder you would say that he is very arrogant. Forget it, come back and do me a favor by acting as the female one in the award-winning film. There are not many scenes, but it should have more room to play than Warren Beatina." Song Ya thought for a while. , Decided to give her the role of the miraculous heroine, which is the wife of the hero.

"Help? How to calculate that pay!" Hallie sat up sharply.

"Of course it's a friendly price."

Nothing, I can't help it anymore, color is empty, eyesight is pure, "I will go to see the children, and I will wait for Judy Foster to come." Song Ya dropped a word and turned back and hid in the house.

Robb was running wildly with Kenya Jones at home. Little Jon chased after his elder brother like a worm. "Does Robb have practiced words?" Song Ya pulled his pants to grab the two sons.

‘I can’t understand, I really admit that I can’t understand. Yahoo’s stock price has doubled in just two months! As of today's NASDAQ closing, the market value is $32.3 billion? ’

I played with my son for a long time. At about 3 o’clock in the afternoon, when Song Ya went to the hall with Xiao Shansa, Judy Foster and her girlfriend had already arrived. The two and Yeremov were arguing fiercely about what, Xue Linfen, Ha Li and Natasha Kinsky have also changed into formal attire. Sharinfin and Natasha Kinsky huddled up on the sofa and read a book together, while Hallie held the remote control and stared at finances seriously. news.

The beauty of Xue Linfen and Natasha Kinsky is still there, and Judy Foster has a double halo bonus, just her girlfriend is almost. The five people in the hall have different shapes and expressions, very vivid, and the scene is as beautiful as an old oil painting.

The stock market analysts on the TV set their heads in disbelief, saying, "This unprofitable Internet company has surpassed a large number of multinational giants for a hundred years. I admit that my previous analysis was wrong. I and my Since last year, colleagues have been saying that this is impossible, this is impossible, and the bubble will burst sooner or later... But the reality is so ironic that we have been beaten again and again! ’

"Do you still insist on your opinion now?" the reporter asked.

"I will not comment, I will not comment on this stock anymore."

"I heard that many well-known short sellers have suffered heavy losses in these two months."

"There are also many people who have made a fortune. For example, not to mention the founder of yahoo. If the minority shareholder as still owns the legendary 3.8%, then the value of his asset alone will exceed 1.2 billion... …Dolr!"

The lively hall suddenly became quiet, and the other women looked up at the TV.

That's it, the timing was just right, the faint passive pretence was perfect, "What's wrong? What are you talking about?" Song Ya made a gorgeous appearance holding her eldest daughter.

Halle watched him wipe his saliva, Judy Foster put down the foot that had been stepping on the coffee table domineeringly, Natasha Kinsky's eyes were also very bright, "Give it to me." Xue Linfen came over from him. Pick up her daughter in her arms.

"Just crying badly."

Song Ya handed Xiao Sansa to her mother, "Welcome, Ms. Foster, this is..." Although he had seen it before, he did not remember the name of Judy Foster's girlfriend.

"Sidney Bernard."

"Oh yes, hello."

Song Ya appeared calm and masculine, shaking hands with the two women, "I heard Yeremov say..."

Judy Foster is very difficult now. Her personal film company Egg Films has launched the Anna and King project with the help of Polygram Films. Everything is ready and ready to go. She herself has just visited the Southeast Asia location. When I came back, I didn’t expect to see a bolt from the blue. Because the parent company Polygram decided to sell, it suddenly stopped funding support for Polygram’s big project. Anna and the King were shut down instantly, and her small company was unlucky. , The project cannot continue, and there is a risk of bankruptcy.

"Your a+ film studio doesn't have many projects this year, right?" asked Judy Foster.

The two sides took the opportunity to almost reach a cooperation on the darling project, but unfortunately lost to the super doubled Oprah, if there is such a relationship, Judy Foster is looking for money, and rushing to visit may be a bit of a sudden illness.

"On the contrary, we will be very busy this year." Yeremov didn't like the Anna and King project.

Song Ya knows his position. The Americans are completely unfamiliar with and disdain to understand the historical background of Southeast Asia, the love story of a yellow man and a white woman, and a jade from the 1950s, Judy Foster looks no more. That year... the ambition is still very big. She bought the adaptation rights and participated in the investment and acting as the heroine. The production cost of the whole show would be very high.

"Polygram Pictures won't give money? What is their situation now?"

Without apocalypse, Song Ya is still inclined to be conservative, and he is more interested in the recent situation of PolyGram.

"I don't know, there is chaos, they told me that the deal might be finalized in August, or even earlier."

Judy Foster complained.

"Oh? I haven't heard, and there is no news outside."

When Song Ya raised his eyebrows, there was only Universal, and the progress of other potential acquirers was not so fast.

"A certain high-level person revealed to me." Shuangliao Yinghou has its own way.

"Any other details?"

It seems that 10,000 Philips are willing to dispose of PolyGram. The sooner the better. According to Judy Foster, PolyGram is also very satisfied with Global. It looks right. The difference is only in price, and how to deal with mergers and acquisitions. Various supervision and external pressures of listed companies.

"Hey, you have no sincerity at all." Judy Foster soon realized that Song Yayi was not in Anna and the king. "Don't ask, I know you have a contradiction with Universal. Now the people in Hollywood have spread it all over, if it weren't because there was no way. ..."

"What's the contradiction? I just learned that someone was spreading pirated songs on the American Music website, and I asked them to delete it. It's just that Litman Media didn't listen to me. I can't help it, blame me."

Song Ya and Sloan's double acting is just for this answer, and they are confident.

"Ha ha."

Judy Foster sneered. She was six or two years old and spent nearly thirty years in Hollywood. This kind of pretence can't deceive her.

"Well, what is the funding gap between Anna and abroad?" Song Ya turned the topic back, at least giving a clear attitude.

"Fifty million."

Judy Foster's answer made Yeremov laugh on the spot, and the number also exceeded Song Ya's psychological bottom line, "So many?"

"Love, wars, courts, the disparity between the identities of the king's male protagonist and the tutor's female protagonist, and cultural conflicts in the context of the great era... The tragedy ends."

Judy Foster's girlfriend replied: "Does it look like another Titanic?"

"Who is the hero?"

"Chow Yun Fat."

Fa Ge... "Forget it, I don't want to gamble again."

Song Ya glanced at Judy Foster’s face, saying that it’s not that I don’t support fellow villagers. How can this middle-aged version of Jack and Rose be on par with Xiaoli and Feiwen... The main audience of Big Ship is young women. A color control.

"Forget it."

Judy Foster sighed disappointedly, and then asked Natasha Kinsky, "Are you looking at Lengshan right? Where did you see it?"

"Where? We've watched it countless times... I cry every time I see the end."

Natasha Kinski warmly lifted it up and said: "He is sometimes sober and sometimes unconscious. He has a brilliant dream, dreaming of his hometown. A cool spring gushes from the cracks in the rock, the black earth, Towering old trees. In his dream, time seems to appear at the same time, all seasons overlap. The apple tree is full of fruits, but strangely, the flowers are still blooming on the tree, the ice is frozen on the edge of the spring, and the okra is blooming Yellow and sorrel flowers. Maple leaves are as red as in October, spikes are formed on the tips of corn, chairs full of things are dragged to the fireplace in the living room, pumpkins are shining on the ridges, and the laurel is full On the hillside, the ditches are covered with balsams, the dogwoods are blooming with white flowers, and the redbuds are trembling with small purple flowers. Everything appears together. There are also white oak trees, large flocks of crows, or at least the souls of crows , They dance and sing on the high branches..."

"Charles Frazier's writing is so beautiful." She has a strong voice, "It's really regrettable that the ending, the male protagonist died in the female protagonist's arms in the end, they are together and separated, their love is poignant, loyal, and platonic... …"

"It's oriental style love,'the thin haze, the thick fog in the valley, the clouds and fog that rags hang on the mountainside of the cold mountain, and the grey rain that pours down all day long'... "

Judy Foster, who is a double-action actress and Yale Schoolmaster, is much higher than European **** stars. She casually recites a short paragraph in Leng Shan, "Does it look like a Chinese ink painting? Compared with the masterpiece "Gone with the Wind" of the same background It can be seen that the concepts of the times, including the progress of race and love, and the reflection on the Civil War are more delicate..."

"Uh...you, your opinion is very reasonable."

Natasha Kinsky felt that she was crushed, and immediately turned the book to open up the next battlefield.

The two actresses with very different positions talked enthusiastically, but Song Ya felt that the real object of each of their words was herself, and they were carefully designing to express their understanding of Lengshan.

But Judy Foster is also fighting for the heroine, and there is no competition at all with Natasha Kinsky, who is expecting a little weight and supporting role at most? What's the matter with you...

He thought to himself with a little bit of cow chewing on the peony, his eyes were just in line with Hallie, and Hallie smiled back to look at them and rolled his eyes.

"Do you know? I have discussed with the author Mr. Charles Fraser many times. In order to write this 300,000-character book, he spent seven years and neglected his responsibility to the family. His wife finally left him... …"

Xue Linfen likes this kind of literary discussion that hurts the spring and sad autumn the most, holding her daughter happily to join, "Just like in the cold mountain, standing far away, but in the end it still ends in tragedy."

"Balance career and love." Natasha Kinski said: "Most men can't do this." She complimented Judy Foster and his girlfriend, "You two are Hollywood role models. It's really enviable. "

"Uh……"

This Song Ya has something to say, he accurately inserted, "In fact, the so-called balancing career and love is a false proposition, isn't it?"

"What do you mean?" Judy Foster asked.

"Generally speaking, our cultural traditions are required to weigh our responsibilities and choose whether I want to devote myself to work or accomplish a career. When I want to manage my family and love at the same time, this is just an escape from reality. "

Song Ya sells the lessons learned from the blonde female professor Martha Nassbaum of the law school. "There will also be conflicts between good wishes. You will either work wholeheartedly or manage your family and love, just like ancient times. "Agamemnon" by Aeschylus, the master of Greek tragedy, Agamemnon faces the choice between quelling the anger of the hunting goddess Artemis, saving the life of the army, and sacrificing his favorite daughter. He loves His soldiers also love his daughter, and he has to make a choice..."

"These two examples are completely incomparable!?" Halle interrupted loudly.

"Of course there is. Socrates said that'good people cannot be harmed'. The meaning is similar to the protection of human virtues, so everything related to it is guaranteed, but what about the conflict between beautiful and kind wishes? When a person does it Are you doing evil when you choose? Everyone has to face this kind of'fragility of the good', and ask themselves on the real philosophical level." Song Yakan talked.

"Yes, yes, you said so well." Natasha Jinsky nodded frequently without understanding.

Judy Foster and his girlfriend were thinking, Xue Linfen naturally admired, "It's like a scumbag is making excuses." Halle hit the nail on the head.

"Hey..."

After accidentally installing it again, Song Ya was very satisfied with the response of the five women, "Boss." Yeremov also felt that he was almost in place, and handed him the phone in time to help him install it and run away, so as to save the boss' lack of knowledge.

"Ok."

Song Ya glanced at the call, it was Amy Adams, "Sorry, I will answer the call."

He gracefully bowed to salute, and left the hall to pick him up on the lawn.

"Are you back in Los Angeles?" Amy asked immediately, her voice very tired.

"Uh...hmm."

"Tell me, how long do I have to wait?" Amy asked.

this problem……

Song Ya took a deep breath, "I don't know, Amy..."

"You do not know?"

"I want to say something to coax you, but I... really don't know." Damn, what kind of fragility just talked about, and now I have to face this problem directly, Song Ya said guiltily: "Give me some time , Answer again next year?" Shakira's smiling face appeared in his mind again.

"After next year, we will be together, you only have me, and you only love me, from now on to forever?" Amy asked.

"I...can't give you this promise, Amy." He answered truthfully.

Amy started sniffing and sobbing on the other side of the phone, "I have worked so hard..." she cried.

"Then you have to decide, Amy, you are about to wake up from the dream of good wishes. This is very good, be more self-reliant, be stronger, I...not worth your wait any longer."

After Song Ya wiped the corners of her eyes, she turned her back to the direction of the wind, "After so many years, you should also see my true face."

"you are always like this……"

"what?"

"That kind of reason is so cold for me."

"Stop using filters in your mind to beautify me Amy! I'm a scumbag! You have the right, and you can definitely find someone who loves you more and treats you better than I do!" He growled.

"Woohoo..."

We talked with Amy for a long time, and finally put down the hot phone in melancholy.

"Is there anything?" Turning back to see Yeremov standing in the distance waiting, pacing anxiously.

"Your lawyer, Mrs. Alicia Flock, is looking for you, but the line is busy..."

Yeremov said: "She asked me to tell that today a small singer mutual aid foundation went to Dilei. They seemed to be willing to fund his lawyer's fees for the lawsuit. I heard that they found a good local law firm, which is not cheap. Mrs. Flock felt that the sudden appearance of these people was too weird."

The rich three generations are playing tricks? "Dilai accepted it?" Song Ya's heart burst into action, maybe it should have been a little bit harsher.

"Mrs. Flock is waiting for the latest news, but she said that after Dilai accepted the other party's first visit, the two sides probably didn't agree."
