Chapter 419 (1/2)
From Miramax headquarters, song Ya's head is full of Harvey Weinstein's chatter. Fortunately, he has seen some masters of deception, but he has not lost his mind completely.
”I feel that he just takes a fancy to your eight million. Once jointly produced, we can't control Miramax at all. In Hollywood, it's hard to find out how much money it really costs to shoot a movie. It's hard to find out how much money it really costs to shoot a movie. It's hard to find out. Even if it's half shot, it's still possible to be blackmailed to increase the budget.”
Yelemov learned from him about Harvey Weinstein's offer and said, ”how can Harvey not let Hayden and I follow in and insist on seeing you alone? I think that 19-year-old is a liar, just like Marvel took a panther and a blade fighter to invest in an African American singer
”Although 18-year-old girls still don't believe in love, it's easier for them to refuse love. But what about the 25-or-6-year-old women who have finished their studies and come to Hollywood from Broadway, the west end or Australia? They know that opportunities decrease year by year with the passing of their youth. If they don't sit on the red sofa to seize the opportunity, they have to find a way to get a good man to marry. They have less and less room for maneuver and are more and more urgent. Give a little setback to show your power. Trust me, there are few who can hold on to it... ”
”Boss? APLUS！？”
”Ah? What did you just say Harvey's voice always recoiled in Song Ya's mind, and was reminded by yelemov.
”I said maybe Harvey wanted to pit you.” ”You have to be 12 points in Hollywood,” yelemov said
”I feel like But it doesn't matter. If I don't have the ability to let people down, will other Hollywood movie companies let me go? I don't think so. ” Song Ya asked Hayden, ”what's the arrangement for the evening?”
”I'll have dinner with Halle Berry and Spike Lee to talk about the script, and then I'll package a movie for you and Halle Berry, the three hearts of Shirley Finn, and I'll meet the new line tomorrow.”
Hayden replied, ”John Sington is dead. He's asking for five million dollars.”
”Five...” Song Ya feels that guy is inflated. ”Five million is the first-line director's pay in Hollywood?”
”His maiden work was shortlisted for two Oscars. If Justins, who wrote poetry in July, sells well, and the film reviews have a good reputation, he will surely surpass Spike Lee.” Hayden replied, ”the price can be further discussed, but I don't think it's necessary.”
”It may also be that he was embarrassed to refuse directly, so he offered an impossible high price.” Yelemov added.
”That's fine. Spike Lee didn't let the play out? ”
Song Ya crossed out John Sington in his heart. Unfortunately, he still liked the movie about street boys, especially his ability to weave street boys' dreams. He knew more about what black people at the bottom wanted to see than Spike Lee. After changing the protagonist of my life from white to myself, to some extent, it is possible to please the film watching groups similar to those in the street boys' movies. Street boys live in a muddle, and then they are loyal to their hearts and choose to dance hip-hop. They also get involved in the proud white girls in art schools
”He won't, he's a big mouth about other things, but the director's professionalism is very good, otherwise he won't be able to muddle through today.” Said Hayden.
In the evening, on time for the appointment, Spike Lee had arrived first. He was writing on the book in his hand with glasses. He was very attentive. There was only a cup of steaming coffee in front of him.
”Hey, spike.”
Song Ya sat down and saw that what he was doing was the script of my life. Many pages were marked with labels, ”are you so serious?” Song Ya murmured in his heart that he was more fond of this big mouth. ”What about the script? Give me some advice? ”
”There's so much to dig up, and what you're trying to express is too superficial.”
Spike Lee handed over the script. ”Read it for yourself.”
Song Ya also looked at it carefully. The copy paper was full of all kinds of circles and deletions. At the beginning, after the conflict between the role of Harry and the gangsters, the protagonist was pulled out of the nightclub by two companions. Spike Lee added a lot of obvious nagging in his personal style. Young black and white people talked about street crime and racial discrimination in the slums Look at
Song Ya takes a glance at the coffee tasting partner, and continues to look. The man who broke the glass of the art school went to court. Before being sentenced to 200 hours of community service, he had a long time with the white judge Balabala, and then talked with the white female headmaster of the art school
”Hoo...” Song Ya breathed out a breath and quickly flipped to the end. After one of his companions, the black child, was shot and killed, there was a very profound dialogue on human nature, crime and race at the funeral
He couldn't bear it. He threw the script on the table. ”Hey, I made a youth idol song and dance movie. I didn't expect to go to the film festival to win the prize, spike.”
”Fxxk, can't you be a little bit of a pursuit?” Spike Lee hated this attitude.
”I I... ”Song Ya shrugged and showed his hands. ”I” didn't think of a good wording for a long time, but finally had to bluff, ”I just want to make a movie that can make money and make the audience happy. What's wrong with adding so much dialogue to me?”
”Yeah, your movie characters are monotonous. They have only a little inspirational thinking about life. They are obviously such a good ethnic theme, but they come up with a bunch of empty consumerism bullshit?” Spike Lee replied.
”You're going to sell it to someone else. It's no use in me!”
”Fxk little money in your eyes...”
“YouM-Fxxk！ Big mouth
