New York, Empire Theatre.

Song Ya and Daniel made an appointment to meet in the VIP box here, and the other party called to say that there was a traffic jam on the road and they would be late.

"APLUS, don't you think about it anymore?" Hamlin was the only one who sat with him waiting inside.

"I want to wait, maybe Motura won't let me wait." Song Ya asked: "For the fluorescent agent case, let's reach a settlement with the opposing lawyer as soon as possible. How much do they offer?"

"It was 1.2 million at the last meeting." Hamlin replied: "The court will be held again next month. According to your request, the preset bottom line is only more than 200,000. I just shake my head when the other party quotes. Tomorrow If I contact the other party's lawyer for no reason and take the initiative to settle, they will smell it, and I may not be able to close the deal at 1.2 million."

"So what's the optimal solution?" Song Ya asked.

"I'll find a way to create an opportunity to meet with the opposing lawyer by chance, chat about your case in a restaurant or coffee shop, and then lower the price a bit to reach an agreement." Hamlin replied.

The lights in the box and the auditorium were dimmed, and the classic musical Les Miserables was about to begin. The noisy voices gradually fell silent, and the two lowered their voices.

"Okay, get it done as soon as possible."

"The upper limit of the settlement amount is 1.2 million?"

"You can figure it out, you can improve it appropriately, in short, close this case before Motu pulls hands."

"I see, what's going on in Hollywood?" Hamlin asked.

"I got the crew out of the way, basically, the heroine is Amy Adams..."

Song Ya's thoughts went back to the day before coming to New York, he and Yeremov called the casting director to the hotel.

"Xiao Lizi's different sky at the end of the year is to partner with Johnny Depp. No matter what the box office is, his professional reputation will not be bad." The casting director said: "According to my experience, his stock is bullish, so he can Signing him to play the villain of the heroine's ex-boyfriend, we should wish for nothing, the higher the salary, the higher the salary..."

"Let's not talk about this for now." Yeremov called him here under the pretext of casting the heroine's ex-boyfriend. "Let's talk about the heroine. Mr. APLUS prefers Amy Adams, the fourth It's your turn to support her."

"Oh! Here we go again!" As soon as we talked about this, the casting director was bound to explode. The middle-aged white man put his head in his hands frantically, "Amy Adams is not the best, no, she is not even as bad as her dancing and acting skills Samantha Cole! APLUS..."

He looked at Song Ya who was standing by the table, "You know the script you made yourself, I don't even bother to mention temperament, dancing and acting skills, just to mention her convincingness in that scene is not enough! How can there be a male dancer Can't lift her up? And this scene is the key plot where the hero and heroine get to know each other and make the heroine have a good impression of the hero!"

"We can find some skinny boys to play with her in that scene." That's what was done in the original movie, and Song Ya replied in the same way.

"I can't, I can't do it..." The casting director shook his head again and again, "I will be stubborn in this matter. With another Amy, Amy Acker will be much more perfect, and Julianna Margulies will be more perfect." Well, even calling back that Charlize Theron is better than Amy Adams."

"Can you stop being so stubborn?" Yeremov continued to persuade: "We called you here to talk privately... Let me put it bluntly, just want you to give us face, and then we will repay you elsewhere .Old Larry, he's already let go."

"Sorry, I can't do it, this movie is ruined for Amy Adams," he said.

"It's not that exaggerated, is it?" Song Ya said, "As long as you speak for us in the fourth round..."

The other party shook his head and stood up, "I have nothing to say, sorry APLUS, I am responsible for Amblin Entertainment."

"Damn! What's the matter with you? Is there something wrong with you?" Song Ya immediately said impatiently, "I paid for this movie, produced by my A+ movie studio,

My final cut right! Is it necessary for you to always sing against me on this matter! ? "

"You can fire me." He buttoned up his suit, turned around, and was about to go out when Song Ya stopped him.

"Don't think I dare not fire you." Song Ya stared at him viciously.

"Okay, fire it up, tell Catherine about a phone call." The other party raised his head without any fear.

"Fxxk! Yes, you're fired! Bang!" Song Ya shouted in a black accent, "You can't bear the anger of a person like me, trust me."

"I'm not only going to fire you, I'll also let the crew and William Morris, who is in charge of packing some of the cast and crew, fire all the people you chose and lose money? I don't care, you know? I don't care!"

"When the time comes, the wishes you made when you got those people into the crew, the benefits you get, and the sleeping women will all be your enemies, your laughing stock, ha! I'll see if there will be a billboard magazine by then The scandal of..."

The other party's face collapsed, and he lowered his head to dodge Song Ya's sharp gaze, but quickly controlled his emotions, and then raised his head with a smile, "Is it necessary? Just for a heroine? Do you think you won't become all Hollywood if you do this? laughing stock?"

"You're pissing me off, really." Song Ya made a shooting gesture with his hand, "At worst, I'll get out of Hollywood if I play this ticket." Tapped him on the temple, "But you can also Get out, get out." He moved out of the way and met the worried Yeremov, who sighed softly.

The casting director gritted his teeth, strode silently to the door, then turned around and put on a flattering smile, "Hey, APLUS, don't be so excited, I was just joking."

"No one jokes here anymore," Yeremov said.

"APLUS, take it easy..." He walked up to Song Ya again, "It's like this, I don't really care who the shit heroine is, I just, just used a strategy, you know, the more I am in the female lead If the master chooses to entangle, the other cast members will have more power in casting. On, this is a common trick in Hollywood, I was discovered, haha..."

He laughed for a while, and saw that Song Ya and Yeremov still looked serious, so he continued to say: "The heroine is Amy, right? Don't worry, I will support her in the fourth round. She is very beautiful. Very cute, playing the heroine? No problem."

Song Ya and Yeremov looked at each other again, and both smiled wryly.

"So, so... I'm not fired, am I?"

The curtain opened, and the sonorous prelude to Les Miserables interrupted Song Ya's memories. He saw five prisoners and actors lined up on the stage, singing the opening scene Lookdown excerpts.

'Look down, look down, avoid their eyes, look down, look down, you're going to die here...'

"Why isn't Daniel coming?" he asked Hamlin.

"I'll ask again." Hamlin took the phone and went outside the box.

Song Ya thought for a while, followed her out, turned on her mobile phone, called Sandy Glenn again, forwarded the message recording, and called his assistant. It got through, but it was still a word, and Mr. Sandy Glenn would be notified. , please wait for his call back.

"Almost there." Hamlin finished the call, and Song Ya went back to the box and sat down.

'Come in, sir, I see you are exhausted, the night outside is bitterly cold, even though you and I are so humble, we should share each other's help...'

In the musical, Jean Valjean was entertained by the bishop of Myrière, but he stole the silverware from his home at night, was captured and returned, but the bishop did not expose it, but admitted that he gave the silverware to Jean Valjean , Let the soldiers let him go.

Song Ya just calmed down the anxiety in her heart and immersed herself in the plot when someone pressed her shoulder, "APLUS." Daniel arrived.

"Please sit down." Hamlin opened the seat for him.

"Sorry, the road is too congested." Daniel smiled.

"It's okay, I think you have already memorized this drama?" Song Ya joked.

"Yes, I like both the French version and the English version very much." Daniel has French ancestry. Adapted from the original book, the premiere version is naturally also in French.

"Did you talk to Samantha in Hollywood?" Daniel asked after sitting down.

"No, I only watched her audition video. Seriously, the other girls are so jealous that she entered the fourth round of audition." Song Ya vaccinated him.

"I heard from her, it doesn't matter, I'm already very grateful for letting him enter the fourth round, just explain it enough." Daniel asked some things about the preparation of the movie about my life, and then turned the topic to the main purpose , "So, what help do we have?"

"Mariah Carey, some executives of Sony Columbia Records, can be sure." Song Ya moved her chair, got closer to him, and whispered: "Sandy Glenn and MJ should be busy with a global tour about it, but I think I can win them over."

"Winning MJ means winning an epic record, is my understanding correct?" Daniel asked.

"Yes, your understanding is correct." Song Ya nodded.

He nodded and put his hand on Song Ya's shoulder, "Wait, listen first, I like this part the most."

On the stage, Fantine's IADream excerpt was about to begin, 'Once upon a time, people had a pleasant look, their voices were soft, and their words were pleasing. Once upon a time, love had no taboos, the world was a song, and the song was touching...'

Fantine was pregnant, but was abandoned by a man with bad intentions. In Hugo's time, unmarried children were not tolerated by society, so she had to foster the child in the hotel owner's house, and went to work in Jean Valjean's factory by herself, but was squeezed out by other female workers. The letters were opened privately, the secret of having a child was exposed, he was kicked out of the factory, and lost his job.

"But there are always dreams that don't come true, and there are always storms that destroy people. The kind of life I dreamed of is very different from this hell on earth..."

The three watched silently. Fantine had no income, but the innkeeper and his wife kept writing letters, asking for money for her daughter Cosette's medical treatment. She had to sell her beautiful long hair, and her front teeth... In the end, self-esteem was worthless, and she had no choice but to become a prostitute.

'Sell it, sell everything you can...'

Song Ya once again recalled what happened in Hollywood.

It was still yesterday, after he settled the casting director, he excitedly went to Ivana Chubbock's acting classroom to announce the good news to Amy.

"Is this compensation?" Amy was not happy. She snuggled into her arms and said, "There won't be any place for other women around you in the future, right? Halle said that stars like Mariah Carey, After the official announcement with you, I absolutely cannot accept any scandals between you and others..."

"Did you hear that?"

"We heard you call her Mimi."

"I'm sorry, Amy." Song Ya hugged her tightly and wiped away the tears on her face, "I can't go on being so ridiculous forever."

"I thought I had a chance. Those Hollywood girls said behind my back that I was a bitch who stole girlfriends and boyfriends. They always said, always said, I don't like this place at all." Amy said sadly.

"They are jealous, just like factory girls are jealous of Fantine's beauty and men's liking, you don't need to pay attention to it." Song Ya said, without getting a response, she held her shoulders and looked at her four eyes, "You like this, but You want to stay here, you are very suitable here, you are one step away from fame, which is the role that countless girls can't dream of."

"But it's not my dream."

"It's yours, face your inner Amy, you've been working on it, and both Ivana and Annie say you practiced hard. Yeremov told me, at what point does a girl start to realize Are the peers around you more beautiful and attractive? Ten years old? Nine years old? Even seven or eight years old? At what age did you realize that you were more beautiful than girls in the same school or even in the same town? Girls don't dream of being a star, you are so beautiful, don't say you don't have that idea, that's too hypocritical."

"I don't want to say anything about blaming myself for not being able to control my lower body. I do blame myself, but it's also too hypocritical to say it. I just want to say that you have to be strong, Amy."

Song Ya stared at her and said: "I'm ridiculous. We did a lot of ridiculous things with Fergie, Harley, and Taraji, and I can't give you anything. But this role is something I can do for you, grasp it Take a chance, ignore the gossip, be stronger inside, like those bitches! Like that Charliss, a South African girl with no background or connections in Hollywood, who finds old Larry after failing an audition, Ivan Na helped to speak, and made a random encounter..."

"Go for every role, every opportunity, fight, tear, design, and frame... Pay 120 points for success, use everything, Amy, give up those innocence and purity, grow up. "

"The door to success is right in front of you, grasp it, you know, the vast majority of beautiful girls, those beauty pageant champions, small town girls, school beauties, cheerleaders, prom queens, star second-generation directors, second-generation rich second-generation and even super Model, I have tried my best all my life, but I have never had the chance to stand at this door..."

"And you, have already passed through that door."

"But I love you, APLUS." Amy burst into tears.

"sorry……"

Coming out of the classroom, Song Ya put his hands in his pockets and walked silently in the corridor outside.

"I envy her." A voice came leisurely from the door of the classroom next to her.

"Who's there?" The lights were not turned on in that classroom, Song Ya looked over and saw a tall figure, it was Charlize Theron.

"I envy her, I didn't envy her before, no, I didn't envy her before I was eliminated from the audition. But now... I really envy her, even envy..."

She came out of the shadow of hiding and stood under the light of the corridor. The girl was wearing a ballet costume, and her beautiful face and body curves were displayed in front of Song Ya's eyes, like a large diamond.

"Did you hear that?" Song Ya frowned.

"Yes."

"The doors of Hollywood are always so soundproof." Song Ya rolled her eyes, uttered a few words and continued to leave.

"You saw through my plan with Ivana?" she asked.

"Didn't you hear that?" Song Ya stopped, "Although Ivana teaches people to act well, her own acting skills are really a bit clumsy..."

"Sorry, I did use you."

"There's nothing to be sorry for, I appreciate you and the effort you've put in for it Charis, you just heard, I have no aversion to girls' petty tricks, as long as it doesn't hurt me or the people I care about .”

"I..." She also started sobbing suddenly, trying to restrain her tone, "I still want to say thank you, you have actually done a lot for me." She covered her mouth with her hand, knelt down, and cried tremblingly.

"do not do that."

Song Ya walked a few more steps, but she still couldn't harden her heart. She rolled her eyes again, turned her head, and helped the poor girl squatting at the door of the classroom, "You are different from Amy, I have no doubt that you will win in Hollywood." Success, sooner or later, you don't actually need any help from me Charis."

"I even regret it now, when..."

She raised her head and looked at Song Ya with bright teary eyes, "You liked me, didn't you?"

This girl's acting skills are so good, Song Ya couldn't tell the truth from the fake, and didn't bother to try to identify it, "It doesn't matter, I couldn't restrain my inner impulse at that time, and I couldn't walk when I saw a beautiful girl..."

"I ran out of money, changed my agent, took this acting class, and spent money on other people in your crew, a lot... Mom doesn't support me anymore, she wants me to go back to college, knowing that this time I After I failed the audition, I stopped supporting me, helped to repay and canceled my overdrawn credit card. But I still don't want to give up..."

Her voice became louder and more miserable, "I have to take a Playboy photoshoot, I'm scared..."

"I don't know how to face everything that comes next. Sometimes I even wonder if it's too late for me to sell it. Instead of selling it to others, I might as well sell it to you. I've sold it all! I have liked you a long time ago... Actually As long as you take one step forward at that time, I will be yours."

She threw herself on Song Ya's body with such force that she almost wanted to rub her body in.

"Charis, who is useless to regret the past, face the future." Song Ya struggled to push her away, "You heard it just now."

"APLUS? APLUS!?" Daniel's voice woke him up.

"Huh? What did you just say? I didn't catch it."

"Have you seen this musical before?"

"Yes, with Ms. Shirley Fleming."

"The editor-in-chief of American Music?"

"Yes, it's her. She is the kind of person who is rooted in Broadway. She comes here when she has nothing to do. She basically chooses here to talk about things with me, or she goes to Warrendorf for afternoon tea."

"How do you like it?"

"I like it very much. I like it much more than Miss Saigon. I think this is the best musical."

Daniel smiled, "Did you know? I participated in the competition for the position of president of Sony Columbia Records. If I fail, EMI will definitely not be able to stay. I still have to hide the fact that I have agreed to come out next year to start my own business. Record president Doug Morris, he's going to hate me when he knows the truth."

"But as long as you succeed, you can slowly mend your relationship with him, can't you?" Song Ya asked back.

"Yes, as long as you succeed, you must succeed. I can't bear the second career failure." He said.

'There is a sorrow that cannot be expressed, and a pain that never ends...'

The Empty Chairs at Empty Tables (empty tables and chairs) section was played in the theater. The barricades were captured, and only Marius survived. He returned to the tavern where he had gathered with his friends, leaving only empty tables and chairs.

"Fxxk!"

Daniel cursed in a low voice, "It's too inappropriate to listen to this at this time."

'A familiar face is vaguely by the window, a familiar figure is vaguely reflected on the ground, empty tables and empty chairs, my friends will never meet again. '

After the musical ended, Old Mike confirmed that there was no paparazzi following him, and then drove Song Ya back to Tribeca's home, "Mimi, are you upstairs?" He casually untied the strangler's bow tie and called Mariah Carey.

"I'm here! Wait for me!" She replied happily.

"Linda, get us something to eat, and open a bottle of champagne..." Song Ya hung up the phone.

"you?"

"A lady will come later."

Linda smiled silently and went to work.

When the phone rang, Song Ya glanced at the number and answered it immediately, "Hey, Sandy, what are you up to? There is no news for two days."

"Excuse me about MJ's tour, APLUS."

Sandy Glenn apologized again and again, "There is something I must inform you."

"explain."

"MJ has no intention of getting involved in your business."

"He said it himself? You're not making decisions for him again, are you?"

"He said it himself. He asked me to apologize to you on his behalf. After all, he once promised you."

"That's it..." Song Ya fell silent.

"I'm really sorry, uh...Miss Kelly's agent made an appointment, does it still count?"

There was a knock on the door, Song Ya opened it, and Mariah Carey, who was wearing a decent black evening gown, stood outside the door with a smile, "Dangdang..." She raised her hand, proudly showing the diamond ring.

"APLUS? Are you listening?" Sandy Glenn asked from the receiver.

Song Ya pressed the hang up button, hugged the beauty in front of her, and embraced affectionately.

'OMG...'

Linda saw Mariah Carey, and exclaimed, the champagne bottle slipped from her hand and fell to the ground.
