Chapter 1424 APLUS Keeps What It Says

Text Chapter 1424: APLUS Keeps What It Says

On July 6th, the first weekend after the opening of Blade Warrior 3, the powerful enemies in the same period include Miramax's Scary Movie 2, Warner's Cat and Dog Wars, artificial intelligence, Universal's Fast and Furious, 20th Century Fox's Kiss of the Dragon, Doctor Dolittle 2, Paramount's Tomb Raider and DreamWorks' Shrek.

The box office of the Blade series is not as good as that of the first one. According to the data of the first three days of drawing, it is absolutely impossible for the third film to exceed 150 million in the global box office.

The same is true of film critics and audience word-of-mouth, cliff-like blood collapse, kung fu plus rice-style plasma film elements, old-school superhero narrative, and it was filmed together with the second film. In the past two years, Hollywood visual effects have advanced by leaps and bounds, no matter from which angle it looks old. old.

"Boss, Jack Chen's kung fu action movies may be out of date. Everyone liked last year's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon flying around in the bamboo forest... novelty, beauty and mysterious oriental flavor."

After walking with Harley in Los Angeles for another announcement, Song Ya led the team and just left the theater, Yeremov followed behind him and said: "It is also very popular with film critics, you... what do you think? hehe."

Last year, Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was an unexpected hit in North America. This year, the Oscar won four out of ten nominations. Yeremov immediately wanted to follow suit. He had been planning for a long time. Director Palm is willing to come, and he has a good book in hand, plus your appeal in the entertainment circles of the two countries, we at A+ Entertainment can definitely form a dream lineup that will not lose to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

"Is it really okay? Last year..."

The project led by Yeremov didn't make any money last year, so Song Ya didn't trust his vision.

"Don't worry, nothing will go wrong this time!"

Yeremov patted his chest, "I have flown to Asia several times, and I have very good chats with all parties, and I can start work soon after the project is approved."

"emmm..."

He had previously promised him freedom in film project approval, but he regretted it after only a year... Song Ya didn't want to do this, "What's the budget?"

"50 million to 60 million?" Yeremov carefully observed the boss's expression.

Song Ya really frowned, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is less than 20 million dollars, right?"

"They didn't hire stars with box office appeal in the United States, and there is room for improvement in special effects, and this year, we are definitely not the only ones who plan to follow suit, and the cost is going up." Eremov explained.

"Okay, okay, you can make up your own mind."

Let go when you have given the power, Song Ya didn't hesitate for too long, "I'll give you another chance, this year m-fxxk give me some confidence!"

"Yes! Boss! Hehe..."

Yeremov cheerfully led the way with a sense of relief, and the group went straight to the viewing room of Bowei Films to watch Fifty Shades of Grey, which will be filming Blade III early next month.

Although the publisher of Blade III is Warner, and Fifty Shades of Gray is Disney's distribution company is Bowei, but according to the current box office trend of Blade III, most of the theaters will be released in about four or five weeks.

"We have been banned from aplus by many countries around the world."

As soon as Song Ya walked into the viewing room, the executive vice president of Bowei said worriedly. He has seen the finished film, "The scale is too big, challenging the local customs...Even in Beimi, we managed to reach the r-level in public relations."

"Okay, thanks."

Bad news, but not as expected by Song Ya, I was deeply involved in the script, shot script, editing, and soundtrack, and the original film of Apocalypse was in my mind, of course I knew the scale of Fifty Shades of Gray.

But if you are not afraid of such a scale, how can you attract attention and topicality? Besides, the original film of Apocalypse is like this.

In any case, the opening of the painting is coming soon, Bo Wei can only continue to follow the plan, and this year's summer file of their Pearl Harbor and Atlantis The Lost Empire's box office is far from expected, even if the emergency medical treatment, Xiao Li must be checked Liz's Fifty Shades of Grey had high hopes.

There will be no shortage of publicity resources.

Both Xiao Lizi and Charis came early, Xiao Li and his agent huddled in the front corner, Charis and Xue Linfen were on the other side, director Larry Old and the main creators of photography and editing were in the middle.

"Harry, she also wants to come and see..."

This was not in compliance with the rules, but when Song Ya spoke up, Bo Wei would naturally not stop him. The vacant seat had already been reserved, and the two of them went to sit with Charis and Xue Linfen.

Then Yeremov and others found seats in the back row.

If the remuneration of Xiao Lizi and Charis is excluded, the cost of this movie is actually not high. After all, most of the time in the film is a rivalry between the hero and heroine, and the supporting actors with plots are only two or three kittens.

Some of the venues and tools that show how arrogant the hero is are basically borrowed by Song Ya and Lin Lin in friendship. The 757 belongs to Song Ya, the manor house is Xue Linfen's in San Marino, most of the luxury cars belong to Harley and Mira, both of them like to buy cars very much.

The background has been changed. The story happened in Los Angeles. The heroine Charis, who worked as a part-time student in a coffee shop, was sent by the school newspaper to interview the young rich man Gray, who is also the hero played by Xiao Lizi.

A typical story of Cinderella being crazily pursued by Prince Charming. The first half of the film is basically Xiao Li wearing a meticulous high-end suit and playing handsome, with a very domineering president in his posture and conversation.

The difference lies in the eyes. Most of the male leads in other romance films are either gentle or infatuated when they look at the female lead. Of course, there is also infatuation in Xiao Lizi’s eyes, but there is also some intentional restraint, prey-like aggressiveness and a little Morbid, paving the way for the introduction of his unique hobbies.

Xiao Lizi handled it very well, and his acting skills are better than the male lead in the original Tianqi film.

It's a pity that such a domineering president doesn't need much acting skills.

"Mr. Aplus's soundtrack is still so wonderful." The beginning stage of the plot was a little boring, and Bowei's people sincerely praised, "It's too hard, the original soundtrack will definitely sell well."

Song Ya smiled back, "I promise you."

"Haha! Yes." Vice President Bowei laughed. After so many years, aplus has an outstanding reputation in Hollywood, and its partners, whether it is KM Films of Catherine and his wife or David Geffen of DreamWorks, whether it is Touchstone under Disney, Hollywood Pictures, its own Buwei, or Warner, all There are many compliments.

Even John Carley, the president of Columbia Pictures, a subsidiary of Sony, who has turned against him, admitted that the projects he cooperated with aplus have made money. John Carley has said many times in private that he personally doesn't hate aplus at all.

With the resignation of former president Shirley Lansing, Paramount has turned to aplus and does not interfere with each other.

The reasons for the fallout between Aplus and Universal are well known in Hollywood, and it ended with the acquisition of the most precious wine business of the Bronfman family, thus completely establishing the reputation of the Black Pharaoh.

Twentieth Century Fox? The whole world knows that 20th Century Fox will avenge Aplus for the money of the big ship project.

Only Marvel, often complains that A+ Entertainment has swallowed their share of the Blade series. It is true that Marvel is a victim in this matter, but Hollywood will not sympathize with them.

If there is any big difference between Fifty Shades of Gray and the erotic films of this year, it is the soundtrack. In the past, erotic films always used the kind of ambiguous background music when there were key plots, which was earthy and seemed to be greeting The audience's wretchedness of "the good show is coming, hurry up and watch it".

Fifty Shades of Gray is a pop music with a strong sense of modernity and a very high average quality.

The only thing that is worse than the original film of Apocalypse is the texture of the film. Old Larry's pictures have always been good. He is also good at making men and women beautiful, but the director's technique is a bit old-fashioned.

The first exposure scene is not from Xiao Lizi and Charis, but from the co-rented roommate in the play of Charis, here played by Ellen Pompeo, she brought home the man she met in the nightclub last night, and she is on the sofa When they were lingering, they happened to be bumped into by Chalisi and Xiao Lizi who came back.

Ellen Pompeo and Charis had 'knowledged' as early as the cat and mouse audition. Years later, Charis had already become a star, and Ellen Pompeo, who was already in his early thirties, was more famous than a few years ago. The Hollywood resources that can get A+ Entertainment have dropped a bit, and now it is very rare to be able to play an important supporting role in Fifty Shades of Gray.

Although Fifty Shades of Gray is basically a play of Li Zi and Charis, there are not many supporting roles and they all have a thin sense of presence.

Ellen Pompeo still has good looks. She was the heroine of the full-length medical TV series of Apocalypse when she was in a coma. Say hello by mouthing 'hi'.

Song Ya nodded to her friendly. So I seriously thought about putting that TV series on the agenda. On the one hand, the original owner of Apocalypse naturally needs to support it. On the other hand, the ratings of medical dramas that have been filmed for so many seasons will naturally not be bad. It can earn more ratings for the ACE channel that has entered the bottleneck. Rate.

This year, the ratings of the second season of Hip-Hop Competition have dropped, because bet TV Network has also created a follow-up talent show after being acquired by Redstone’s Viacom. It is much better than hip-hop competitions in terms of audience, production, and content.

"Which car?"

"Both."

At this time, the plot came to Xiao Lizi and Charis to go to the garage full of dozens of luxury cars of various colors. Charis asked casually, and Xiao Li's answer was very "President".

The executive vice president of Bowei laughed knowingly when he saw this. This kind of show off of wealth is rough and vulgar, but very impactful.

The sports car Xiao Lizi chose in the end came from the sponsor Aston Martin. It is one of the cheapest among the luxury cars. This brand has established a good relationship with A+ Entertainment since the cat and mouse game.

"It's coming." Xue Linfen unkindly revealed the spoiler.

In the first normal sex scene, Charis sacrificed a lot, and Xiao Lizi also went all out this time, turning his back to the camera and directly clearing the light.

Xuelinfen, Harley and other women in the viewing room looked at the back of Xiao Lizi on the screen and giggled.

At this moment, Song Ya got up suddenly, and left the viewing room without expression.

Xiao Lizi huddled in a corner and shivered, desperately reducing her sense of existence.

"Sure enough, I still can't be completely normal, I'm jealous of me..." Charis thought blushing.

"Eli?"

In fact, the phone in his trouser pocket was vibrating, and Song Ya went out to answer it.

On the other end of the phone was Peter Flock's old subordinate, now Alicia's campaign manager Eli, "Mr. Aplus, we can basically win the party election!" He announced the good news first.

"That's good."

Running for the Cook County State Attorney, winning the party's primary election is basically a safe bet. Like the party's candidates, it is generally not a threat. After all, it is the blue heights of Illinois.

"But Little Daly's people are trying to persuade us to leave." Eli added, "There is a lot of pressure."

Song Ya chatted with Eli impatiently, "That's your own trouble... Is there anything else? You can actually call Ms. Sloan, or Axelrod who is in charge of my public relations."

Peter, who divorced Alicia, has been convicted and taken into custody. It is still the Kozko case that has stumbled, but once a point is broken for an old-school politician like Peter, there are too many faults that can be found out. Public projects in the state have abused power for friends and subordinates of the funder... One of his trusted aides even sold driver's licenses to people who can't drive. In short, all kinds of ugly eating scenes were torn apart little by little.

Then this kind of gray income definitely needs money laundering, which must also involve tax evasion...

So in the end the court combined the crimes of extortion, bribery, money laundering and tax evasion. The sentencing is really not heavy, only six and a half years.

There were more than 30 big and small bureaucrats in the state and its subordinate departments who were accused together with Peter, and more than 20 of them were convicted.

They, including Peter, will of course continue to prosecute, but the days before that will need to be spent in jail.

"Sorry, Mr. Aplus, I just want to remind you that little brother Daly should go to Los Angeles to find you." Eli said.

Song Ya hung up the phone only to find that Sloan had sent a text message before, saying the same thing, and had already made an appointment for herself to meet Little Dali's brother.

"We want you to help put pressure on Alicia to withdraw, aplus."

Song Ya left the movie watching activity, and soon met Gore's former campaign manager, the younger brother of the King of Chicago Daly Jr., and the other party said straight to the point: "Just ask."

"I'm friends with Alicia, as you know, I actually met her first, and then met Peter through him."

Song Ya refused without even thinking about it. Alicia is not a professional politician after all. She made many low-level mistakes at the beginning of this year's campaign. Alicia takes the fatal blow.

But after Alicia gradually became familiar with the gameplay, her personality as a good wife played a great role. She divorced Peter at the end of last year, and she decisively made a public speech at Peter's suggestion to clear up and leave. In turn, he attacked Peter, and tearfully told about Peter's difficult mental journey when he was exposed as a prostitute and how hard it was to work in a law firm to take care of his two children.

This miserable trick finally won the sympathy of the voters. Besides, Peter’s strong crime-fighting personality is also missed by many Cook County voters. Everyone still prefers Alicia to the candidate launched by the Daly Dynasty.

"Don't forget our previous agreement." Little brother Daly said.

"Our previous agreement was that I gave up supporting Peter, and I did it. It is another matter for me to provide funds and auxiliary elections for Alicia's campaign. Everyone has already passed the gas, right?"

Song Ya looked directly at the other party, "I am a person who keeps my word, and my behavior is completely predictable, so since everyone has spoken first this time, don't play with me again. Gore lost last year. No one will be in a good mood after falling..."

"I understand."

Little brother Daly can certainly understand now that if Gore wins, he will most likely hold an important position in the White House, but now he can only slip through the revolving door and enter the corporate world...

"Oh yes, I saw Robert Mueller became FBI director."

Song Ya changed the topic. The George Jr. government's candidate for FBI director the day before yesterday was approved by the Senate, and Robert Miller took office smoothly, not Dan Webb, whom Underwood and Daly Jr. were least willing to see.

"Yes, it is the least bad candidate."

Little brother Daly smiled wryly.

Song Ya didn't know how much they and Underwood played in this matter, and she didn't want to know.

Anyway, as long as Dan Weber is not in power, they should be able to get past Congressman Russell's suicide.

"Don't you want to hear about our conditions aplus?" Little Daly's brother didn't want to talk about that matter, so he turned the topic back.

"No."

Song Ya fully believes that the conditions he brought this time are enough to outweigh the benefits of Alicia's election as Cook County State Attorney, but how much temptation is there for the 17th richest man in the whole meter?

So let the other party say the hype, Song Ya always shakes his head, "In the final analysis, can't you just win Alicia? Don't tell me that if you really want to win, you can't win."

If you don't win the election, you can still wash your votes. Who doesn't know about you?

Song Ya hinted that the other party would not care about it, and would not let the media under her control their "unconventional actions". Of course, it was inevitable to complain in her heart, "Alicia should have promised you that she would not avenge Peter, right? The two of them have lost their relationship for a long time, they seem to be in harmony, and everyone in Chicago knows it. And Underwood, our Mr. Party Whip should not support Chicago's internal strife, right? After all, we need peace, unity and recuperation too much now..."

"Why!"

Little brother Daly sighed.

He knew that Peter's power and resources in the law enforcement department had not been wiped out by his own side. Alicia would inherit most of them, and in turn protect Peter in prison.

In the face of the black pharaoh who must be vengeful and involves a large number of Chicago jobs and can incite the black community, even the Daly Dynasty dare not, or it is not worth the risk of being exposed for the position of a Cook County state attorney. How to judge that this is not a trap deliberately placed by the black pharaoh? "Well, we understand and admire your valuable qualities, aplus, and I see where you stand."

He helplessly stretched out his hand to the young, old, and extremely oppressive top rich man in front of him, "No matter what, we still have to live, so I wish all of us a happy cooperation in the future."

"Of course, happy cooperation."

Song Ya kindly and kindly sent the other party who had returned in vain to go out.

Back and forth, the old microphone dust came back from the outside, "I have seen Peter."

"Did he give you something?" Peter gave us some personnel information related to the shooting last time. He and the old Mike guessed that Peter still had some bottom-of-the-box goods. Song Ya asked eagerly.

"there is none left. "

"Did not give?"

"No, Peter said that he was already making the final gamble, so how could he hide his hole cards? So those middle-level New York FBI officers involved in the shooting incident are all he can find out."

Old Mike replied: "I feel that what he said is not a lie. Of course, because we met in the meeting room of the prison, it is inconvenient to say it directly. He is all hinting." Then he repeated every original sentence of Peter.

"His most trusted personal lawyer, who is also the former legal counsel of the Governor's Office, will transfer to serve Alicia, right?"

Song Ya heard some details that the old Mike didn't notice, "That is to say, if Peter still has any secrets, they are basically in the hands of his loyal African-American lawyer? He has no freedom in prison, nor It is convenient to bring confidential documents in, and the private lawyer will be in charge of his appeal case, and he is someone who can meet with him frequently."

"Yes."

"Then I'll call that lawyer." Song Ya immediately called the other party.

"Aplus, it's inconvenient for me to disclose anything for the time being..."

The other party was very cautious, "But I have a man here... a black man on the street, it is not convenient for us to take care of him now, can you help? Just arrange for him to take a job as a handyman in your record company or other places, and he will take care of him. You are very useful."

What use can a black person in the street do to me now? Thank God for not causing trouble, Song Ya rolled her eyes and replied casually: "It's a small matter, just let him go to Linda directly, and I will say hello."

"Okay, thanks."

"What's that man's name?"

"Franklin, franklin."
