Chapter 908

Song Ya declined the interview of Vanity Fair magazine before. There were many photo reporters in front of the buffet table not far from the door. The stars could take pictures while eating and drinking there. He did not stay.

"We'll make new trailers and posters for the cat and mouse game. We'll put on the Oscar for best adapted screenplay, plus the Chicago Film Critics Association Awards that we've won before. The results will be very good and will help the global box office a lot."

The CEO of Bowei pictures raised his champagne in his hand. "Some countries that have not yet been released just take this opportunity to start painting. In some countries where the box office is not very good, we will try to restart the film layout, and beimi will also expand the cinema line All in all, congratulations to aplus, Linton and wish us success. "

"Wish us success."

Song ya, Linton and yelemov cheered with laughter. The game of cat and mouse in the award season has finally come to fruition. Although the best adapted script award does not boost the box office as best director and best film, it is also good. At least it can be promoted into an Oscar winning film. Otherwise, we all try our best to achieve something.

"Wish us success."

Amy and Jerry deleto, and the other cat and mouse gamers who gathered together, all of them were laughing and cheering and clinking glasses.

Only John Malkovich didn't come. He said he would go home and have a rest. It's not in the mood to accompany the golden ball and Oscar again this award season.

"Anyway, that's it. Make yourself at home and enjoy the party."

As the most important distribution company of Disney, the CEO of Bowei pictures still has a lot of social activities. After a few words of explanation, he left.

After all, the cat and mouse game crew also scattered. After all, it was a project that had already been filmed. We still need to take this opportunity to fight for the future, the new job, or the sexual intercourse tonight.

"And Harvey?"

Songya asked Linton. He always wanted to find out whether Harvey Weinstein had really contributed to the prize he had won. It seems that the Oscars voted for the cat and mouse game because of Johnny Carson.

"It's supposed to be in a room in a nearby hotel, where he'll only be found next to milasovino."

Linton also has the same doubts, "Harvey will not tell the truth aplus, he is a master of using the advantage of information asymmetry to gain benefits. If we want to find out what he has done for us in the Academy of film arts and Sciences, maybe he will ask us for the reward instead."

"Ha! That fat man. "

Song Ya smiles and concentrates on Amy's lobster.

"Mr Linton, aplus..."

The author of the original novel, legendary liar abagnier, came late, "beautiful miss Adams." He gave Amy a gentlemanly kiss on the back of her hand? Just the three of us. "

"Yes, just a moment."

Amy smiles and waits for song ya to gobble up, "Mr. Linton, Mr. abagnier." Leave cleverly.

"Over there?" Abagnier indicated.

"All right." Linton and Sonya looked at each other and followed him to a slightly remote corner.

Song Yacai is for the sequel of cat and mouse game, that is, the film and television adaptation right project of abagnier's new novel "the art of theft". As expected, abagnier said mysteriously: "I talked with someone here just now, and now the price of novel adaptation right is 4 million."

Four million is the top price for this kind of deal. No, it may set a new record for non top novelists.

Abagnier is far from the best seller list writers like Stephen King and Tom Clancy, and even for writers of that level, the novel adaptation rights are rarely sold at this price. After all, it costs 4 million to buy the adaptation rights. How much does the film production cost to match it?

Novels or scripts are highly reproducible. Hollywood's follow suit movies are popular. The film company looks for a few professional screenwriters to change the story of the blockbuster movie, retain the basic outline and advantages, and then carefully decorate it, so you don't have to worry about being sued. Therefore, the overall salary of a screenwriter is the most difficult one in Hollywood.

"Four million is beyond our psychological price."

Linton shakes his head. When Hollywood is a film company that retains the legacy of big studios and is heavily burdened, he has always been very sensitive to cost control. Half of the original cat and mouse game, that is, five million, he has to think twice. How can he spend four million to buy the film editing rights? Even if he shares it with a + film studio again, there will be 2 million, which is just beyond his bottom Line.

"Aplus, and you?"

Song Ya shook his head.

Abagnier refused to give up. "I heard Jared Leto was willing to pay some."

"He is not good soup, and he is not qualified to bring capital into the group." Linton continued to shake his head.

"It's not without exception, when aplus made the first film of my life..." It's a must for a guy who can be called a legendary liar to stick around."I paid most of the money, but the share was terrible."

Song Ya shakes his head with Linton. Although there is no apocalypse in the sequel of cat and mouse game, he feels that it will not be too costly to make a sequel while Jared Leto is in the red. At least yelemov is very happy to see it, and he has nothing to do.

But in Hollywood, Linton is the top management of the film company that has the best personal relationship with him. He must keep consistent with the outside world.

"Four million? No more, I still tend to cooperate with the original team. " Abagnel continued to lobby.

Linton began to show obvious impatience.

"No, Mr. abagnier, you know, Mr. Linton can't afford it, and he doesn't like your new novel..."

Song Ya shared his worries and took abagnier's arm to take him away. "But from his point of view, buying the adaptation right of your novel at the top price will become the big news in Hollywood. If you make a profit, it should be, but if it fails From a senior manager's point of view, this kind of thing is really hard to please. I don't care. "

"Well, I understand that Oh! It's a pity that we could have continued to succeed. "

Abagnier sighed. "So I'm going to leave and keep in touch?"

"OK."

"By the way, if there is no sequel to the cat and mouse game, when the movie is out of the theater, be careful of the troubles from within the crew. This is my last piece of advice. It's free." Abagnier left.

"What does he mean by trouble within the crew?" Song Ya went back to ask Linton.

"Don't worry about what a liar says, then all the people in the crew will have new jobs by then, and there will be no big trouble except to make some news in the media."

Linton didn't want to make a sequel, but abagnier's offer was too high and too difficult to worry about, which completely lost the possibility of cooperation. He was angry in his heart, "I guess the buyer he talked about was Tom Hanks. Today, there is an extra actor and director, Mel Gibson, who has both fame and fortune. It is impossible for him not to envy him."

"Isn't the unstoppable miracle he's directing still being filmed?"

Song ya just remembered that there was a Charlize in South Africa. If she had not given birth to her own child, she would have been a sophomore in Tom Hanks's crew

Call her later. I don't care.

"Who knows, no matter who he is, it has nothing to do with us."

The two began to talk about their next cooperation. Song Ya also had an apocalypse movie football charm in his hand, ready to wait for Charlize to come back as the hostess after giving birth to the baby. But if you want to use that movie to earn points for the 98 World Cup theme song, it may be better to cooperate with Columbia film, after all, FIFA's long-term partner is Sony Columbia Records.

Besides, song Ya doesn't see a rabbit, so it's not good to scatter eagles. If Disney, the Hollywood film company, is not satisfied with the box office share of the cat and mouse game, there is no need to cooperate in the future.

"Here he is."

Linton saw Harvey, who had just appeared in the crowd.

"Congratulations, miss sovino."

Mirasovino, the best match girl in Xinke, was inseparable from him. Song Ya and Linton congratulated him respectively, and then they congratulated their best adapted script award. In a word, they had a lot of words.

"Go over there, dear."

Harvey took mirasovino's waist with both hands, pulled her directly from the left side of her body to the right side, then patted her buttocks in front of them and sent her away.

Song Ya can see from this habitual movement that he is very domineering, disrespectful and has a strong desire to control women.

Of course, milasovino doesn't care about this at all now. She turns around and winks at her and listens to others.

"Forget it, Linton. I know what you and aplus are trying to figure out."

Harvey was in a good mood when he proved his strength in winning the Oscar again. He interrupted song Ya and Linton's inquiry, "you can absolutely trust me. I am also the investor of cat and mouse game, and I have done a lot for this film. If you win a gold medal in the award season, what are you dissatisfied with. Yeah? Aplus, are you the first African American Oscar and Grammy winner? It's up to me. "

"I just want to learn more from you." Song Ya laughs.

"Take your best adapted screenplay award process as an example. I'll say what I can."

Harvey ate and drank and said, "first of all, what are the difficulties we face in winning prizes?"

"Well, what? I think Is it because the opponent is too strong? Emma Thompson is a talented woman highly respected by the British Academy. The best adapted script is a good consolation prize for the rational and emotional drama group. After all, they have been nominated eight times this year... "

Song Ya accepted the swindle modestly, "when I saw her good friend Anthony Hopkins on the stage, I thought I would definitely not have a chance."

"No, well, absolutely, in a way, but that didn't matter after a series of operations. It's Johnny Carson! Do you think that old thing is popular with the Oscars? No, his big mouth has offended Hollywood several times in 30 years. Last year, Carl Letterman, his beloved apprentice, was like a sleepwalker when he presided over the awards ceremony... ""So the most important thing about the winning strategy is to change the agenda and shift the judges' attention from Emma Thompson to Johnny Carson," Harvey said

"But you said Johnny Carson wasn't popular..." Song Ya said.

"But his historical position is there, and as long as he comes, the judges can't ignore the importance of that opening salute. Who do you think did it? it's me. Who do you think spread the news of Johnny Carson's nomination to most of the judges? It's me

"So my main job is to shift the judges' assessment of the quality of the script to the top priority for them, that is, whether or not to award this award to Johnny Carson, according to the agenda setting theory of mass communication

Harvey replied, "they'll think in their mind, is that the old guy should start off high and go home empty handed? After all, this may be the last important award in Johnny Carson's life. If you choose him, at least he won't be as annoying as a fly and let him retire in glory. "

"And then, who is Emma Thompson? Who are the other three candidates? What is the quality of the adapted script? People's attention will be completely shifted unconsciously. We humans tend to be in elections The Oscar process is also a five out of five election process. Receiving and memorizing the simplest information and doing simple multiple-choice questions, the simpler the better, is the nature. The judges are also human. Who has so much energy to read the five adapted scripts? Not on the basis of rough impressions? "

"So Give it to Johnny Carson, or not. That's a very simple multiple-choice question, right? One fifth of the chance of winning a prize quietly becomes one in two. With our respective public relations activities, this probability is actually greater than one half. Of course, I don't have the ability to completely manipulate all the judges, but we can win through clever public relations activities. At least, we can win a lot, and the chance of winning awards is three times higher than that of traditional public relations! "

"Ha ha, that's how you won the awards?" Linton asked with a smile.

"Of course not only. I have a lot of means. Learn slowly! By the way, remember to repay me back. "
