The genius remembers the address of this site in one second: [] The fastest update! No ads!

Song Ya is already used to the life of having such a versatile little assistant. She doesn't even hide her private meeting with Mariah Carey. How could she let her go to become an actress, "Your annual salary is already very good now. What can I do with a small salary? And I will definitely have your management position in my future business empire, compared with those third-rate Hollywood actresses who are desperately trying to make a living for a small role, it is not difficult to choose, right?"

What he said is not a picture. If you put all your current business together, it will be a proper medium-sized company.

"My ideal is to be an actor." She said, "If I didn't become your assistant, I would have graduated now and go to Hollywood."

What she said made Song Ya a little unhappy, "Haha, so blame me for delaying your future?"

"No la."

She grabbed her arm and shook it like a child, "Just give me a role to play, okay?"

"It counts as the second female lead. How could it be possible for someone to act for fun? This is my first movie, and I must not fail." Song Ya was cold-blooded and ruthless, "And that character will sing on stage in the movie."

"Singing can be lip-synced, it's in many movies." After getting in the car, she didn't go to the usual co-pilot seat, but rushed to the back seat to help squeeze her back and beat her legs.

"call……"

Song Ya couldn't stand it anymore, "Come on, I don't usually see you so attentive, and you often roll my eyes. So, can I give you another role?"

"That gang member woman, danced with you at the beginning and caused a fight?" Taraji read the script by heart.

"That won't work, I'm going to let Harley help out with a cameo."

There is only one dance for that role, and Song Ya is going to ask Halle Berry to dance. If the actor she is looking for is not beautiful, such as Taraji, why does the male lead have a conflict with the gang members because of her head? Then the plot would not be convincing at all, and of course he wasn't ruthless enough to say such words directly to the little assistant.

"Then there are no female characters left? The principal of the art school?" Taraji was still not reconciled.

"The headmistress has to be white and definitely older..."

Song Ya shook her head.

The plot of youthful love and musical drama seems simple, but it is much more difficult than he imagined to stabilize every character in a play. The art school in the movie implies that white people, rich people and the like live with the hero. The social characteristics of the environment are completely opposite, so the headmistress must be white, and her appearance and behavior must have a bit of elegant aristocratic temperament.

She suddenly thought of Xue Linfen, no, the role of the principal of the school is a bit too old for her current age, she would rather choose the little secretary with fewer roles in the fatal instinct casting than the younger one in the casting As the main character, if I told her that I wanted her to play the role of a principal, I would probably be angry with her.

"Huh? She has disappeared, I'm still thinking about what the hell!" Shaking his head, he put aside all distracting thoughts.

For the role of the second female lead, Taraji seemed to be a different person. In the days that followed, he gave himself meticulous service, his eyes disappeared, and he always smiled at each other. As soon as he sat down, the coffee with a suitable temperature was delivered to him, and he walked to the door. The coat has been put on the body, the almighty little secretary during the day, and can do whatever at night...

"Okay, okay, so, I will give you a later audition round, and you can fight for that role yourself. But it can't affect the assistant's work."

Song Ya, who was made comfortable, could only let go, and felt sorry if she didn't give some sweetness.

The time has entered May, and the script will be released for the second time. Basically, there will be no major changes. Apart from polishing the dialogue more finely, his basketball master character was also suggested by the screenwriter to be moved to his white partner, otherwise The follow-up story about him persuading his white companions to leave the streets and work hard for his own future is not established.

APLUS seems to be playing for real. Now whether it is Hayden who barely spoke in the script meeting or Amy who is bored at home,

Realizing this, Amy practiced dancing harder, and Hayden brought Donovan to Chicago.

"Do you want to try William Morris' package service?"

Donovan focused on the project of dancing out of my life, "From director to lighting, from actors to drama management, we can prepare the most suitable candidates for you."

The packaged service invented by CAA made William Morris run out. Buying the CAA packaged service means that the job opportunities in the entire project have nothing to do with the contracted practitioners under William Morris. They have to let go of their high expectations in the past two years Shelf learning from the deadly enemy, there have been several successful packaging cases.

"Isn't it too early to talk about this?" Song Ya pushed back the document handed over by the other party,

"According to your progress, I don't think it's too early." Hayden said, "I know how strong your action is APLUS."

"Let's put it away first, I still have no clue about the most critical issue." Song Ya shook her head, "You guys also give me some advice."

To start a film project, whether to start a film company by yourself, or set up a studio to cooperate with a mature production company, who will distribute it, how to distribute it, and whether it can guarantee that it will not be cheated by the distribution company that occupies an absolutely strong position, all these are Preconditions need to be set in advance.

"Why do you have to talk to the director first?"

Donovan listened to Song Ya's statement, "Otherwise you won't be able to make the budget, our director under William Morris..."

"Don't..."

Song Ya doesn't want to give them too much hope. Although he is willing to buy a mature package service, it is really too early to talk about this, and the director has his own considerations. "I asked Yeremov to do the budget. Everything will wait He'll talk about it when he comes back."

The most critical part of the preliminary budget is the location of the location. The original film was shot in Baltimore, and the street scenes in Baltimore are also shown in the play. The art school is unsurprisingly a metaphor for the famous Maryland Institute of Art. And the street location of my film must be in Chicago, the cost of the street part should not be large, the indoor plot in the art school accounts for the majority, and the cost of shooting in Chicago is definitely higher than that in Baltimore.

So the first person Yeremov hired as a part-time job was a senior location scout from Amblin Entertainment. He would contact some professional or part-time location scouts scattered all over the country, assign tasks first, and then send back photos from them Select the scenes that can be used, and then pay the selected ones, and go to the relevant location to inquire about the conditions and prices of renting the location for shooting.

Since the main shooting location was set in Chicago, and Amblin Entertainment happened to be cooperating with Warner TV in Chicago to prepare a TV series called "Emergency Room Stories (ER)", Song Ya was too embarrassed to ask Catherine again, so she asked Ye Lemov approached each other for help through personal connections.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your news. Don't forget William Morris." Donovan had to leave.

"Don't worry, I will choose you first under the same conditions." Song Ya replied.

"same……"

That would be tantamount to competing with others, Donovan's face darkened, and he left in a nervous mood.

Hayden simply stopped leaving, stared at Song Ya, and waited until the good news came from Yeremov.

"Borrowing an entire art school was known to be impossible, so we split up several scenes."

Yeremov picked out a few photos of interior architecture from a bunch of photos, "Scenes such as school corridors, stairs, and some classrooms can be shot in Hollywood. This small theater can be used as a theater for an art school, and then the big dance practice room we Here, two important filming locations are located in Chicago. At that time, the editing method will make the audience think that these scenes are all in one place. As for the party location..."

The scene selection artist of Amblin Entertainment is very professional, and all the architectural styles that jump out are very uniform, "Yes." Song Ya nodded, "Is this the cheapest?"

"Uh, the most cost-effective." Yeremov replied.

"Okay, what about the preliminary budget?" Song Ya asked.

Yeremov took out a document, "According to the assumption that your starring role is almost a new person..."

"Halley's remuneration for a cameo role should be in line with her status, and APLUS is also an A-List singer..." Hayden began to fight for William Morris' rights.

"That's about eight million dollars."

Yeremov took out two more bills, "Because the two screenwriters did not sign their names, they counted as completing a private task for you, and you paid the money yourself. As for the cost of scene selection, the bills are also here. This is Dancing out of the first expense of my life project, and then there is me as an executive producer...hehe."

"A budget of 8 million is not a low production cost, and the boy on the block only spent 6.5 million."

Song Ya looked at it for a while and signed the bill, "My favorite director candidate, first of all, is John Singleton, the director of the neighborhood boy."

"He got two Oscar nominations for his debut, and now is the most popular time." Hayden reminded, "It will definitely charge a high price. It is rumored that he won two Oscars for Janet Jackson's 'Justins Who Writes Poems'." It's a million-dollar pay, and the production budget of the whole movie is only 14 million."

"Anyway, let's get in touch first. I will definitely not look for him for two million dollars."

Song Ya said: "What I like is his ability to spend a small amount of money to do big things. If he is not cheap, why should I ask him?"
