Chicago 1990

Although the United States itself produces a large amount of cheap wine, Song Ya still wants to put the production line in China for a reason. His profits from the local VCD, textile and garment factories in 1994 were good, and he accumulated a soft Sister currency funds, but Scott does not want to spend money on the expansion of the garment factory. He intends to learn from Wal-Mart to get out of the specific production and only place orders for purchases. That way, the cost can be suppressed. After all, from the local township garment manufacturers. The quotation obtained in the competition is lower than the ex-factory price of the joint venture factory of A+ Apparel.

Song Ya respected this decision of the president of A+ Apparel, so the money needs to be invested in another industry.

It just so happens that the wine industry has a good opportunity to tap the corner, because the owner of Canadian wine giant Seagram Jr. Bronfman suddenly joined the competition to negotiate the purchase of Panasonic's Universal Pictures and MCA Records.

This little Bronfman was a standard **** when he was young. He was seduced by the sensuality of the American entertainment circle and stayed in Hollywood for a long time. In the 1970s and 1980s, he used pocket money to test many projects, although he was scammed. The blood has no return but is still happy. For example, the 1982 movie "Border" brought the Oscar actor Jack Nicholson starring, the production cost was more than 20 million, and the global box office was only 6 million...

So he just accepted the position of the family business last year, and this year he made this unexpected but reasonable cross-border decision. He knows Hollywood more than the wine industry.

But this time the crossover did take a little bit forward. A lot of opposition immediately sounded inside Seagram. Many veterans did not hesitate to threaten his health by resigning his father Edgar Bronfman, trying to change the family's mind, but The old Bronfman still chose to firmly support his son.

So it's still the old way. Song Ya asked Donovan to go through William Morris and a professional headhunting company to wait for the leaks, just like when Sears was unlucky last time he dug Scout.

"Small fights, wait to be slaughtered, but playing so big, little Bronfman will not necessarily be scammed..."

Yeremov ran to Bedford Hill in an emergency, dragged Song Ya from the party organized by Mariah Carey, and flew to Los Angeles together. He analyzed: "Although the old Bronfman is not responsible for specific management, He will still be watching. He is the chairman of the World Jewish Congress. He asked his son to take over the business ahead of time because he was busy recovering the World War II deposits from the Swiss banking industry for the Jewish people. The Jewish people in Hollywood want to cheat him again. Home, it will inevitably lead to infamy and collective rejection. And one of Seagram’s major shareholders is the DuPont consortium..."

"The Bronfman family is also Jewish? With Paramount bought by Redstone last year, and Murdoch's Twentieth Century Fox, the Jewish people already own three of the top seven in Hollywood." Songya said.

"There are still Warner, Disney, MGM, Columbia, and it is estimated that the next one who can't hold on will be the Sony department with the same background." Yeremov said.

"Humph..."

Song Ya is noncommittal. The capital and the capital are much easier to get along with than the Jewish capital. The energy in the U.S. is also small. He and Daniel are happily cooperating with Sony to loosen the soil...I hope this kind of day will end slowly! But considering that Yeremov was also of Jewish origin, he did not state his attitude.

This news is very bad for Spielberg. Similarly, he and global executives have been digging the corner of Panasonic in recent years. The good days are suddenly over, and he is anxious to decide to start a partnership with Universal’s Amperin Entertainment. The income from several films of Panasonic is not in line with the interests of Panasonic, but the global executives who saw the building collapsed were happy to push them. There was a big problem in Panasonic's own internal operations, and the books did not have the energy to manage.

Amperin Entertainment and them have big-selling projects such as Jurassic Park and Modern Stone Clan. The settlement of my life has also been advanced. Now Amperin Entertainment is very busy because of this temporary change. The sequel to my life is very good. Probably being delayed, Yeremov felt anxious.

"Will Zach Schneider become the director of the sequel?" Song Ya asked.

"Are you going to support Amy with the same strength as you can support him?" Yeremov asked rhetorically.

Song Ya shook his head, Zach and his relationship are not as close as Amy, uh, once...

"That's unlikely. Universal, Amperin Entertainment and Geffen Pictures all tend to find more experienced directors." Yeremov said.

"Do you have a goal?" Song Ya asked.

Yeremov handed him a resume, "Yes, Stephen Gyllenhaal, Adam Shankman, and Hecklin."

"Adam Shankman? That guy... don't choose him."

Adam Shankman refused to cooperate with him several times and chose a project that seemed better to him. Now he wants to come back to pick the fruit? No show! And although he choreographed well, he has no experience as a film director.

Song Ya carefully looked through the information of the other two directors. Steven Gyllenhaal's work has been a frequent visitor to various art awards in recent years. In 1990, he won many awards and nominations including Emmy Awards. In 1993, he shot Dangerous Women Gang. The heroine Debra got a Golden Globe nomination and Tokyo film queen.

This person can still have something to do with himself. He helped David Lynch to film one of the episodes of the TV series Twin Peaks in which Xue Linfen participated in the film. The film "The War of Birth and Adoptive Mothers" was one of the twin heroines. It's Halle Berry.

Heckling is good at youth films, she is also a female, and her masterpiece is the Feiyue Innocence series.

"How to look at it is also appropriate for Hecklin, right?" Song Ya used his own experience to make a rough judgment, "Hecklin is not as good as art, but his commercial results are better and much better."

"But it's also more expensive."

Yeremov said: "She now has projects in her hands. She writes and directs Clueless, which is also a campus youth film, so she will be admitted to the group much later. It will probably wait until the second half of 1995. I will definitely not put it on the sequel to dance my life."

"What about Stephen Gyllenhaal's shortcomings?" Song Ya asked: "Simberg and they hesitated for a reason, right?"

"That guy likes the whole family to play together. He is filming the war project of the birth mother and adoptive mother. He is the screenwriter and director himself, his wife is the screenwriter and producer, and a pair of children play supporting roles..."

"..." Song Ya was speechless, "It's quite Gu family..."

"Yes, it's difficult to control, he will require much more power as a director than Hecklin." Yeremov nodded.

Song Ya heard his overtones, Stephen Gyllenhaal’s words as the director, and his contribution in the sequel is far less than dancing in the first part of my life, and it’s hard to put actors at will.

"And Amy is auditioning for Hecklin's lordship." Yeremov continued to hint.

"Will she be willing to make a deal?" Song Ya asked. Anyway, my life was set for Valentine's Day in 1996. It was barely acceptable for the director to join the group in the second half of 1995.

"You can try, but hope is not great. The dominance is a self-directed movie written and directed by Hecklin. She is fully committed to it. Amy's competitors are very strong. She leaves your comfort zone of power. , Both acting skills and appealing power are not good, although the momentum has been good recently, it is considered popular."

Yeremov said: "But she also has hidden worries. Some whites can't accept that white girls and African-Americans can talk about love in the movie, especially the scene of kissing you in my life."

"Didn't I agree to the follow-up promotion that those shots were taken on loan?"

Song Ya can’t help it. Whites are still mainstream, so you must be careful. For example, he played Santa Claus in the MV of Mariah Carey’s Christmas song. Not only did he hide his skin color during filming, but Daniel also warned against revealing the actors. It was him, for fear of arousing disgust from the white people.

"In general, Amy's current career prospects are very good. After all, she is a female host with a box office of hundreds of millions of dollars. Hollywood believes in evil. She will not be short of opportunities before she throws out a big production." Yeremov comforted.

A group of people came to Universal Studios and began to settle the income of my life. In addition to the people from Universal and Amperin Entertainment, there was also an insurance company hired by Song Ya to complete the guarantee, as well as to supervise various accounts. Wing Dao Accounting Firm.

Matsushita also sent a senior executive of the book to the scene, and they haven't made it to that point.

The global distribution of Dancing My Life is far from over, and some countries have not even launched it yet. In addition, the income from the sale of video tapes, leases, TV station screening authorization, and peripheral sales are all small and long, so I want to put the money first in Amperin Entertainment With the expectation of getting it, these long-term income will be converted into financial products and sold to financial institutions, so that film producers can settle the most cash at once.

Beimi’s box office was 65 million, and only 30 million was allocated to the issuing company. After subtracting copying and other costs, the remaining 29 million.

The overseas box office is currently 65 million, and the issuing company gets even lower. After subtracting various costs, only less than 30% is left, or 18 million dollars.

For the total of 47 million, you have to subtract 15 million from the global publicity cost. The remaining 32 million, and Universal divides 30% of the issuer’s commission...

Then Amperin Entertainment, one of the co-producers, split another 25%.

There are also costs related to this guarantee and accounting and legal affairs...

"That's it?"

Song Ya looked at the last remaining number of 14 million for a long time~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and then went out of anger, and worked hard for more than a year before and after school leave! Nine million investment, a movie with a box office of hundreds of millions, only 5 million leftovers! ? Dow just approved his 20 million total endorsement fee for the first year, which is also 5 million. That money can be made much easier...

"That's it."

Simberg, Catherine and others all laughed, "It is not easy to make money at the box office alone. APLUS." Yeremov whispered.

Fortunately, the film industry has never only relied on the box office to make money. In terms of advertising revenue, A+ film studios have allocated less than 300,000 yuan.

The remaining global box office income, TV show authorization, video tape sales and leasing, and long-term income through financial products are converted into one-time cash payments, and A+ Film Studios is allocated 8 million.

There is also the income from movies. This profit is very high. It is not included in the financial products. The A+ film studio has received the first nearly 13 million yuan, mainly from the male protagonist's T sold through the Universal Pictures channel. Shirt and luminous belt.

This makes it more comfortable. It’s right for a movie to make 26 million, although it’s a long way from the 250 million Spielberg made from Jurassic Park.

"How much did your clothing company and record company make on the sale of long and short T-shirts and soundtracks?" Simberg asked. "I often see people learn from you to wear that long and short T-shirt, and many young people like it. Kind of luminous belt."

"Uh... that hasn't been settled yet, I'm not sure for the time being."

A+ Apparel is the supplier of peripheral goods, and there is a profit in peripheral sales, but the exact amount is unknown to the world. The sales momentum of T-shirts not sold through other channels is also very strong, and the soundtrack of the movie is on sale. These are actually the bulk of Song Ya's income, and he decisively begins to pretend to be stupid.
