Xiangjiang old events [entertainment circle]

"I just said, we should have negotiated the contract earlier." After receiving the news of this year's Oscar nominations, manager Piero couldn't help but sigh.

"Who knew they could go on like this." Alain Delon said sullenly.

It is good to have more honors on the people who will cooperate in the future, firstly, it proves their strength, and secondly, it can serve as a promotional point for the new play.

But these honors were suddenly added when they hadn't negotiated the contract. In this way, the other party's chips were even heavier. Seeing how awkward they were before, maybe they wanted to add something condition.

"Mary Sue and Ovitz are known to be troublemakers. Last year, she was able to win a supporting actress award as a Chinese in such a state at the Oscars, which is enough to prove how strong they are. "Piero had already memorized the information on Su Yun's side, and he was also amazed while memorizing it.

Last year, in order to compete for the Oscars, Su Yun spent a large sum of money and made all kinds of tricks, and finally succeeded in getting what she wanted; this year they won more nominations for the Oscars, and the money spent behind the scenes The money and effort spent are certainly not less than last year.

However, it is estimated that Su Yun is trying to win the nomination step: Jane Fonda, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress, has already won the best actress crown, and the remaining best original screenplay and The competition for the two nominations for Best Editing is too fierce. With the current qualifications of Su Yun and Spielberg, it is difficult to beat those typical and more traditional academic films to win the award.

Alas, people are more popular than others, and all managers are bringing artists. How come Ovitz got the obedient and dedicated cutie, but he got Alan, the troublesome guy?

Let’s say he is a playboy, and he can find someone to smash the camera and tear the film after the ex-fiancee’s current boyfriend has nowhere to find him because the paparazzi took indecent photos of his ex-fiancée. The ex-fiancée is out of trouble; but let’s say he is serious about love, an ex-fiancée, an ex-wife, countless rumored girlfriends, and even two or three things that have to be said with major directors (both genders are male)...

If it weren't for the excessive narcissism in his personality, only people who are beautiful or who look like him really catch the eye. This guy who was brought out by himself and stamped by the media as a romantic and heartless guy, probably has more Merry and playful deeds.

But at night, it's quite annoying to deal with this guy who doesn't know how to describe the bad thing that he got into a fight with the paparazzi on the spot after he was taken a photo of him going out at night by the paparazzi...

An "old man" in his early thirties, can he be as mature as the 11-year-old girl in Ovitz's hands!

"As long as the supplementary conditions are not too excessive, then agree to come down and sign the contract as soon as possible." Of course, Alain Delon didn't know why his agent, who he had worked with for many years, hated him after being hurt by comparison, but he also thought of Su Yun It is possible to continue to raise the price and increase the conditions. After pondering for a moment, he quickly made a decision.

Surprisingly, when both of them came to the door again with the mentality of being hit by Su Yun again, they were quite surprised to find that Su Yun and Ovitz did not keep the original verbal agreement this time. What details were revised in the first draft, instead, the lawyer was asked to draw up a contract document directly according to the original negotiation results.

Seeing that the two people on the opposite side were about to bury their heads in it holding the contract document, Su Yun couldn't help but tapped the table lightly as a reminder: "Don't read it again, it really hasn't changed at all."

"We Huaxia people are very honest in doing business, we will do what we say, and we will not go back on our word unless something super special happens." Su Yun straightened her chest, looking very proud.

"However, Chinese people are very good at doing business, and they are also very famous." Piero read in a low voice, and finally, after confirming that the contract is really all right, he approached Alain Delon and whispered, "I think it's ok. sign."

Those lake-blue eyes looked at Su Yun silently for a while, then followed the master's gaze down, and followed the movement of the pen tip.

Seeing that Alan Delong signed at the signature place, Su Yun also signed the name according to the instructions, and then stretched out her hand: "I wish us a happy cooperation in advance."

Alain Delon raised his eyebrows, and stretched out his hand to shake it back - he couldn't reach it.

This is a desk enough for two adults to negotiate, and the size is naturally made according to the average height of adults.

After discovering that the first handshake ceremony failed due to the age and height of one party, Su Yun and Alan Delong almost subconsciously leaned forward and stretched their arms, and then grabbed each other's hand in unison.

Very good, they are all very sincere people about the next shooting plan.

Seeing the eager gesture of goodwill on the opposite side, Su Yun and Alan Delong once again thought of this point in their hearts, and then smiled at each other with satisfaction.

After this smile, the next thing to discuss is more details.

Since it is basically equivalent to paying for the filming by the leading actors on both sides, the issue of remuneration has simply moved into an unspoken rule that everyone in the entertainment industry has tacitly accepted over the years: Let the artist be the producer and leading actor of the movie, so that in addition to the remuneration, you can repay In addition to a friendly price, these remuneration can also become part of the producer's investment in the film, thereby "reducing" the production cost of the film.

"I'll leave the rest of the details to Ovitz to discuss with you in detail. In the recent period, I have to get the director Steven out." People in the industry of "Shark" feel that this film is profitable, so they plan to make a big investment in publicity and promotion.

However, because of the hostility of the film industry to the TV industry, the marketing methods of movies in this era are different from those that Su Yun is familiar with in later generations, so the method of using TV to advertise has not yet become popular.

The current box office guarantee is generally obtained through various spot screenings to accumulate good film reviews and audience reputation.

The reason why Universal made up its mind to invest a large amount of publicity and promotion funds was because Columbia had done a large-scale publicity and promotion for one of their films on the national TV network some time ago, and finally reaped a wonderful box office.

This precedent of a miracle harvesting the box office made Universal excited, and wanted to follow the example of cats and tigers, so they planned to spend money to put the commercial trailer of "Jaws" on ABC, CBS, NBC and other TV networks for promotion.

After Su Yun came to the Los Angeles studio, the first thing she did was to watch the commercial trailer that Spielberg cut out to promote "Jaws".

Sure enough, the familiar formula and the familiar taste, the sense of mystery and plot grip that make people feel extremely uneasy but irresistible, will definitely bring excellent entertainment to those audiences who love to watch horror movies after the release. Movie experience...

"I think we can add a catchphrase at the end - please watch this film before going swimming in the sea." When Su Yun was not a human being, she was a real dog.

Spielberg thought about it for a while, and immediately continued to work with a satisfied face.

After such a busy period of time, after communicating with Spielberg and Alan Delon and making an appointment to start filming "This Killer Is Not So Cold" in mid-July, Su Yun who escaped from the Los Angeles studio , I also set off from the hotel in Manhattan by the way, and went to Tom's house to visit friends.

People are more likely to be angry than others, because the United States pays special attention to summer vacation, so students have the longest summer vacation in the world according to the school holidays in their respective regions.In the east and north, it is generally from early June to early September, and in the south and west, it is from late May to late August; in short, no matter when it starts, it is inevitable and normal to last for about three months.

No, it's only a little later in May, and Tom's family has already started to prepare for a trip to the beach in summer.

But Su Yun, the poor control group, had to hurry back to Xiangjiang to hold the Buddha's feet in a hurry and take part in the elementary school entrance examination before the summer vacation.

This primary school entrance examination is also called the primary school entrance examination. It tests three subjects: Chinese, English, and mathematics. The mid-level examination will be cancelled, and the place allocation method will be used instead to allocate places in the first grade of secondary school.

Although the new policy has not yet been officially implemented, the notice has already been issued: Three years later, in 1978, the primary school entrance examination will be officially cancelled, so Su Yun can be regarded as catching up with the last batch of students in the reform of the school system.

Can it be regarded as witnessing a piece of history?

Su Yunru comforted herself, then gave the prepared stack of movie tickets to Tom's family, and by the way, asked Tom to come to Manhattan if he was free after the end of July.

There are many times when child actors are used in new movies, and he has been left out for a long time before, so he needs to be warmed up again.

"Okay, I should be free when I come back from the beach trip." Tom held the movie ticket and raised his head a little proudly.

Seeing how he obviously missed him but insisted on pretending not to care, Su Yun smiled slightly: "You will be free."

"That's not necessarily the case. I've been busy with various activities recently." Isn't it said that you can grow taller if you exercise more?Why is he still as tall as Su Yun? !

Su Yun didn't know what was going on in Tom's mind, she just thought he was still in trouble, so she didn't care about it, Su Yun hurriedly finished the small cake prepared by Tom's family, and then hurriedly boarded the plane back to Xiangjiang.

The days when I returned to Xiangjiang were leisurely, but I was less busy rushing to catch up with work, but also more busy reciting.

Of course, in addition to the Chinese subject that requires a lot of memorization, the two subjects of mathematics and English also have to take time to study.

Sitting in the small garden while enjoying the cool air while reading, Su Yun had the illusion of stealing half a day's leisure in a trance.

"Come here, come here, I have some sugar water to eat." Today, because I have to wait for the people from the lawyer's office to deliver some legal documents, Grandma Su didn't take a nap and sat next to Su Yun to cut the cloth strips Cut, if you are free, let the Filipino maid Jennifer cook a pot of sugar water.

Before Su Yun dared to scoop the sugar water into a bowl, she heard a knock on the door: "It should be someone from the lawyer's office, Jennifer, go and open the door—hey, it's you?"

"Long time no see." Even though he was wearing a dull dark suit, he still couldn't conceal the young man's detached temperament.

However, at the moment when he saw Su Yun, and recalled the past, he also felt a little emotional: "Unexpectedly, you really didn't lie to me back then."

"Why did you go to work in a lawyer's office? Didn't you study textiles?" Su Yun took the document and asked.

"Don't mention it—my old man had a stroke last year and went to hell, so I was not allowed to go back to England." Zhang Querong sighed, "It's not popular to make clothes now, I don't want to. A good son inherits his father's career, so I might as well come out and try to work to see which job is more suitable for me."

"Then have you considered entering the entertainment industry?" Su Yun asked again.

Zhang Querong just smiled when he heard the words: "Are you joking with me? I can't act or sing, what can I do in the entertainment industry? Besides, my old man has never liked these things. If I dare to mention them, he Maybe get out of the wheelchair and hit me..."

Su Yun looked at his serious expression in silence, and then acted decisively, secretly using the system to capture this extremely rare black history slap in the face material.

Seeing the back of Zhang Querong leaving in a hurry after delivering the documents, Jennifer came over curiously: "Miss, do you think this pretty boy has a future?"

"He will be very promising." Su Yun nodded, while continuing to color the material secretly: No wonder he has no "bright" future now, Xiangjiang doesn't know what he has learned these years, one or two like healthy skin color Fortunately, it was taken during the day, otherwise she was afraid that the super-era high-tech night vision lens would not be able to capture people...

This is really "black" history.

After skipping this little episode, Su Yun was once again immersed in the state of preparing for the exam.

The hot summer in June was gradually coming to an end, and the day Su Yun finished her exam, a week had passed since the release of "Jaws".

After Universal once again made a huge effort to directly premiere in more than 400 theaters and gradually expanded to nearly 700 theaters, "Jaws" has already won 900 million US dollars at the box office in its first week!

Unexpectedly, when the audience loves and fears this shark, it will get such a huge number in its first battle... Following this momentum, coupled with the fact that no one is invincible in the summer file, I'm afraid this summer, Universal will only be busy counting the money.

Knowing this news, Su Yun was also delighted: when she participated in the post-production of "Jaws", she did not agree to a fixed amount of 10 US dollars, but asked for 1% of the box office share in the eyes of people who were not optimistic. Waiting for this moment?

The domestic box office of "Jaws" directly broke 6000 million, and the global box office is more than 7000 million!

Not only that, "Jaws" has also spawned a series of peripheral products, ranging from traditional and classic peripheral T-shirts to bizarre shark toilet covers, and even a thriller with sharks as the main character. Type... These are also not small pieces of meat.

Of course, some people are happy and some are sad. While "Jaws" made audiences across the United States spend a cold and sweaty summer and made a lot of money, an industry that is relatively dependent on it stood angrily because of its backstab. out:

"Beach tourism this summer was almost killed by that damn thing you photographed!"

“Beaches that used to be full are now empty!”

"Hurry up and explain clearly, and tell them that the sea is safe!"
