Chapter 577: Trip to Hollywood

'APLUS's musical talent is of course good, everyone admits it, and I admit it too, but I still need to solemnly point out: this young man is squandering his talent, that Game of Thrones symphony sketch has always been my favourite, it's too short, And its owner has no intention of continuing to go on the broad road of classical music... This makes me deeply sad. I don't despise pop music, but I feel that he has been lost in a series of behaviors chasing the elements of pop music in recent years. Apart from the self, how can those assembly line products of the music industry become handed down works so that they can truly be called musicians? '

"WTF?"

Song Ya entered the keyword 'APLUS' in the box on the upper right corner of the test homepage, and then clicked the magnifying glass button. From the search results, she actually saw a column article expressing dissatisfaction with herself in the latest issue of the American Music Magazine. The classical music critic of the Chinese Academy of Music is full of resentment for not developing in the field of symphony, "My media is scolding me?"

"Okay? The author also affirmed your musical talent, didn't he?"

American Music Magazine is not under DeLay's management, he smiled lightly.

"Um, so why are you pinning this article?" he asked.

"What's on the top?" Di Lai looked at Yan Hong, who was in charge of the search function on the site.

Yan Hong didn't understand either, showing a dazed expression.

"Just put this article at the top of the search results."

What sticky? Song Ya herself had no idea, so she just blurted it out naturally.

"The searchable results are arranged according to the publication date of the article." Yan Hong replied.

"I don't like this article, can't I put it where it won't be noticed by visitors?" Song Ya asked her.

"Visitors like to be able to browse the latest content at the first glance, APLUS." DeLay reminded.

"Anyway, I don't like this article, I'm the boss." Song Ya looked at Yanhong, "Can it be achieved? Get the articles I like to the first page of the search results."

"Please wait……"

Yan Hong thought for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "We can make a recommendation ranking and replace the search results on the homepage with the articles you specified!"

"That's it! You are very smart, Yanhong..."

Song Ya appreciated it sincerely, "Just do it like this, put this, this, and this..." He casually clicked on a few positive articles related to the new movie and new album, "Bring it up, and then I'll take a look at Mimi's Search results, um...the article about her will be removed."

"Good writing, work hard, and I'll ask Delay to give you a bonus."

Song Ya waited for Yanhong to take notes, glanced at the neat handwriting, shook hands with the Chinese beauty with satisfaction, and then said a few words of encouragement with an executive face, Shi Shiran left the company under her own .

After dealing with Sunnyvale's affairs, Song Ya went to Los Angeles to run a promotion, and by the way, together with Yeremov and Hayden, visited Linton, the president of Hollywood Pictures.

"Mr Linton."

In the morning, after sitting down in the other party's office, Song Ya got straight to the point, "Are you still insisting on not transferring the film adaptation rights if you have the ability not to catch me?"

Linton is a young white man in his thirties, with a long chin, which makes his face a bit weird. "Yes, APLUS, if you like this project, then we will cooperate."

"It's impossible. As you know, my projects usually cooperate with Universal." Song Ya said, "And the Hollywood film industry belongs to Disney."

"Your dance reveals my life is great. It is a typical case of small and big things recently. Many companies in Hollywood are studying it. I believe there will be a lot of follow-up works coming out next year."

The other party's words were stinging, "I suggest you not put all your eggs in one basket, APLUS."

"But I want to increase some investment for this film, and you only have the experience of producing movies with a production cost of no more than five million dollars, and most of the projects have failed." Song Ya shot back, "The sequel project that dances out of my life is also worth it. will expand as expected,

I hope to continue to cooperate with Universal to save costs. "

"Then there's nothing I can do. I don't want to transfer the film adaptation rights of this novel." Linton was tougher.

"Uh, excuse me, Mr. Linton, after a series of turmoil, your company's current business situation is not good, right?"

Yeremov interjected, "We can buy the script and the adaptation rights for a very good price."

"I'm sorry, co-production is fine, but transfer is not."

Linton waved his hand impatiently, "If you insist on this, then there's nothing to talk about. We are indeed in charge of small-budget productions under the Disney umbrella. After the company has gone through a series of turmoil, I don't want to start any big gambling projects. Specializing in small productions, with the main goal of launching the videotape market, first to achieve a balance of payments. But I can specially approve a certain amount of resources for this project. Although our company is small, it is indeed a film label directly controlled by Disney, so there is no obstacle using the resources of Buena Vista, Disney’s distribution company…”

"This transfer income will make your performance look a lot better, and the situation inside Disney will be more comfortable, won't it?"

Song Ya continued to persuade.

"Ha! Are you expecting Katzenberg to put pressure on me?"

Linton's eyes turned cold, "There are no secrets in Hollywood. I know your plan APLUS, but I believe you also know that Katzenberg's recent situation is not good."

No way, this guy is very vigilant. Song Ya originally planned to wait for Katzenberg to officially take over, but he didn't expect that Disney CEO Michael Eisner, who was hanging on the operating table at any time, suddenly made a series of high-level personnel adjustments recently. Obviously, he did not want to hand over the power to Katzenberg at all. Katzenberg was forced to launch a desperate fight on the board of directors, but failed. The Disney family and other shareholders chose to firmly trust Michael Ellie, who had saved the company. Sina would rather pay Katzenberg a "breakup fee" than let him stay in the company and cause internal strife.

Katzenberg lost everything, and now the development of the matter is completely wrong. Originally, Song Ya planned to use other channels to buy the adaptation rights of the prototype novel of the cat-and-mouse game, but Linton was pushed out from the Disney copyright company to Hollywood Katzenberg's 'credit' has been credited to the film industry, and now it's time for the reckoning of office politics...

After all, I just want to buy a novel adaptation right that has been idle for more than ten years. It is best to add the original script of each version, but now this matter has become a bit of a grudge between the two parties, and it is complicated.

"I'm not that kind of person." Song Ya explained, "You also know that I could have done this long ago, but I have always come to talk to you in accordance with the rules. A+ Film Studio has never asked Katzenberg, although I I have done business with him and have a good relationship.”

Now he has to engage in relations with Linton in turn. Even if the business cannot be done, at least he can't set up an enemy for no reason, so he can only abandon the original plan and talk in person.

"I understand, I understand."

Linton's mood eased, "But the right to adapt is resolutely not for sale. It's not about economic interests, it's politics. I can't be seen as someone like Old Barn who sold his chemical plant cheaply and then It was resold by you for 100 million, right? Everyone knows this story. It is much worse for a professional manager to become the villain of this kind of story than for a film project to lose tens of millions. Let’s cooperate, APLUS, I know why you want to shoot This movie about a con man, your ex-girlfriend's father, Mr. Jovovich's fraud trial next summer, you want to jump on the hype right? It's fun."

"Uh... that's right."

Song Ya didn't expect the other party to have such a wonderful association, but it still... makes sense, so she simply admitted it.

"What budget do you plan to spend on this movie?" Linton asked, "We can do fifty fifty with your A+ film studio."

"I haven't got the right to adapt it yet."

"Tell me?"

"Uh... find Tom Hanks to be the male second?"

"WTF!? Hahaha..."

Leaving Hollywood with nothing to offer, "What's Katzenberg going to do next?" he asked Yeremov and Hayden.

"Who knows..." Yeremov shrugged, "Ask David Geffen later, he must know."

"All right."

David Geffen also wanted to participate in the sequel project of Dancing In and Out of My Life, and made an appointment for an afternoon chat, but when Song Ya passed by, he met MJ's manager Sandy Glenn and lawyer Lee Phillips, "Hey, Sandy, Lee , what's the matter with you?" He found that the faces of the two were serious.

"MJ is stupid, stupid."

Sandy Glenn kept shaking his head and sighing, "Hello, APLUS, David is inside, but he may not be in the mood to see you." After a brief greeting, the two left.

There was also an altercation halfway through, and Lee Phillips suddenly yelled at Sandy Glenn in a gaffe, "What can I do!? What can I do!? He doesn't see anyone, he's like Robert I (King of Scotland, Leprosy)! Hiding in a darkened room, giving orders by handwritten notes! God knows what's going on in his head!"
