Chicago 1990

　　 After a rest in Los Angeles, Song Ya returned to Chicago. The Los Angeles police estimated that they were secretly relieved. At this point, they are too afraid of another accident.

　　 "M-FXXK!"

Back at the office of A+ Records, he asked about the two Hollywood films he invested in. He didn’t expect to get the bad news. The only time he appeared in the Apocalypse movie clip, Xiao Lizi, an actor that he is so optimistic about, is expected to be released this year. All rushed to the street, a total of fifty thousand dollars in investment, not even a splash.

　　 distressed!

　　 Song Asheng, who rushed back from San Francisco, shivered under his anger. The old man helped the monocle, "Boss, don't blame me, it was Nong's idea that time. Besides, it's normal to invest in Hollywood with no money."

　　 "Can't get back a penny?" Song Ya glared at him and asked Goodman.

Goodman rummaged through the contract that he had signed, "The producer of the first movie'Mojo III' gave up the release plan and transferred the movie directly to the videotape market. Because your investment agreement signed the box office profit sharing, videotape The income has nothing to do with you, so, yes, the income of this movie is: zero. In the second part, the producer declared bankruptcy halfway through the shooting. Now the office is empty, and the company bosses are gone... …"

　　 "What the hell..." Song Ya is speechless, you cheated me again!

"Moreover, even if the first movie can enter the theater market and be released successfully, your investment will most likely not get back. The distribution company has 10,000 ways to evade the producer’s share, and the producer has 10,000 ways to do it. Balance the accounts. As long as there is no profit on the books, a small investor like you who simply sent money and thought that you could sit back and relax in the past by signing a contract can't get a cent back."

　　 Hayden was a little bit at the joke of Song Ya, "I warned you earlier, Hollywood is like this, it's so dark that you can't see your fingers, you..."

　　 Hayden talked and found Song Yazheng staring at him coldly, and quickly stopped nagging.

　　 Song Ya didn't plan to let him go, "Go on."

　　 He made a zipper movement on his mouth with his hand.

　　 "Hmph, is this how you serve customers, William Morris?" Song Ya beat him.

　　 "This time you are not scammed. The producer has also lost money. It belongs to the loss of money and bad luck. The agency is not a prophet. If we can know which movie will sell well, it would be great."

Hayden still opened his mouth. "Even if you know that Hollywood money is not so easy to make, it is very complicated. It is too difficult for a small investor like you who does not even have any contacts to get the money back. The real accounts of the producers, distributors, and theaters are invisible, so how can they get money out of their mouths?"

Under his detailed introduction, Song Ya understood that, first of all, film investment is a gambling type, and no one knows the tastes and preferences of the audience in advance. Even the seven major film companies often have large productions with miserable losses. I don’t know the film industry at all.

　　 Then Hollywood likes to pit investors like yourself. You take the money to sign a standard contract, and then wait for the movie to make money and share it? How can there be such a good thing in the world, they can play you to death by just doing the accounting. For example, you found that the setting cost a million during the audit. What did you do? I built a church as a background, what about the church? After shooting the movie, I opened it.

Then you check the accounts of the construction company that contracted the construction of the church, and found that they subcontracted the project to a company registered on a small foreign island. Even if you are really good, the accountant hired is capable, and you can find the accounts on the small island. , Found that the project was transferred back to a company somewhere in the United States.

You check again and find out that the truth is that the company is recovering losses through litigation under the name of a certain executive of the producer. It is estimated that by then the money you recovered will not be enough to hire an accountant and a lawyer, and you have to beware of the other party. The dog jumped over the wall and asked you to take a gun.

This is still a little trick of the producer. The distributor is darker, but the theater is cleaner. It is because the previous production and distribution and theaters were all in the same family. It was too dark and was forcibly separated by the US government. . But that was only once. Through a series of legal and political offenses and defenses in the 1980s, big film companies are now returning to the theater market, buying shares in many theater companies, and gradually regaining their influence. It is only a lesson from the past. Now they don't dare to go too far in this field.

Therefore, the common practice of small investors now is to gather together and buy guarantee services from big insurance companies proficient in Hollywood routines. At any rate, they can guarantee that their investment can get some return, but that kind of service will lead to higher capital costs and investment. The rate of return is still ugly. Either gambling-style investment in small-cost movies made by small companies, such as the low-cost production of small companies such as Song Ya’s investment. Since it is a gambling-style, the income is even more unstable. Small companies will go bankrupt if they say they go bankrupt. In theaters, you have nothing to do with him, and this type of investment requires people who are proficient in Hollywood's internal rules.

　　 "Can I invest in Xiao Lizi, and the money will follow him?" Song Ya asked.

　　 "Actors bring money into the group? Then only superstars have the confidence to talk to the producer, Xiao Li is not qualified yet." Hayden was surprised: "You don't want to invest in him?"

　　 "Oh!" Song Ya sighed, "Forget it, forget it before you understand Hollywood."

　　 "At least you have to establish some contacts first. Money can't get into Hollywood without finding a reliable and capable person to lead the way." Hayden suggested: "It is best to be Jewish."

　　 "I see." Song Ya was taught, and Jewish influence in Hollywood is well known.

　　The Hollywood Dream is temporarily suspended. Naturally, Harry can't help. When Hayden and the others leave, Song Ya called and briefly talked about the next two movies, saying that he was really helpless.

　　Harry was naturally disappointed, but Song Ya knew that with her cleverness, she would not hang herself on a tree.

　　 "Can I come in?" After hanging up the phone, Fergie knocked on the door outside.

　　 "Come in, what's the matter?"

Fergie pushed the door in, and she put on the polka-dot butterfly sleeves again today. Song Ya hated this style of clothes that perfectly concealed her beautiful figure. "Has Hayden never told you about the schedule? Not you. Don't come to the company casually in the studio time. Isn't the dance class and vocal music not enough for you?" He straightened his face and continued to put pressure on him.

"Sorry."

　　 Fergie apologized softly, "I just want to ask if there are any new songs I can practice..."

　　 "I will arrange this in the future. I have to train new people step by step." Good girl route? Song Ya thought of Cassidy again.

　　 "But I'm not a newcomer anymore, on the'Children's Company' show..." She protested quietly.

'Snapped! ’

　　 Song Ya threw the papers in his hand on the table, "In my eyes you are a newcomer! I lost money in Hollywood today and I am in a bad mood. Don't bargain with me!"

　　 "I'm sorry..." Fergie stuck out her tongue~www.wuxiaspot.com~ lowered her head.

"sit down."

Song Ya motioned her to sit on the chair in front of the boss’s desk, then took out from the drawer a piece of garbage lyrics that she didn’t know was thrown, walked to her, put her **** on the boss’s desk, and made her crotch just right. In front of her sight, "Here is a new song, do you want to try it?" He used the trick Eric taught back then and began to seduce.

　　 "Yes!" Fergie raised her head and was startled when she saw Song Ya's pose, but she soon reacted, "Boss, are you harassing?" She smiled and stared at Song Ya's eyes and asked.

　　 "Huh? Cough cough, don't talk nonsense." Song Ya didn't expect the other party to pierce herself directly, "Do you know what harassment is?"

　　 "Of course, I have been trained by the Screen Actors Guild to prevent harassment. I told you I'm not a newcomer." Fergie smiled even more.

　　 This shrewd girl!

　　 Song Ya is a little bit confused. If she didn't think that this kind of girl is very potential, why did she sign her? "You misunderstood, let's talk about the new song." He handed the score in his hand to the other party.

　　 "What kind of **** is this song!" Fergie's music literacy is no worse than Song Ya, otherwise she wouldn't be the leading role in the children's music section at a young age.

　　 "Easier first, then difficult, say it again, don't bargain with me." Song Ya scowled again.

　　 "Okay." Fergie pursed her lips and stopped talking.

　　 The two were silent for a while, "What else do you have?" Song Ya asked.

　　 "Boss, you promised, clothes..."

　　 Fergie touched her butterfly sleeve.

　　 Song Ya just remembered that, on the belly, she casually told her sister that she would buy some clothes for her.

　　 Feelings. You came to me in this dress on purpose today! ?
