Los Angeles, inside the Four Seasons Hotel Beverly Hills.

Tom looked at Wang Yan standing in front of the window and said with a smile: "NBC has been promoting you intensively, and Universal hopes to use this incident as a gimmick." ”

"They never thought that you would propose a Chinese actress as the starring role. ”

"Say, Wang," he said, taking a sip from his glass, "what do you want to get before agreeing to change actors?"

Wang was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Haven't we already signed a contract with Universal?"

"The author of Forrest Gump also promised to cooperate with the propaganda, and didn't he also write the critical articles in the New York Times?"

"You're not an actor, you can't live without Hollywood, you're a writer," Tom said, "I know you very well," "but I have to give a bottom line, and I can negotiate next!"

This...

When did Tom get so dark?

Wang gradually sat on the sofa and said seriously: "I really hope that Miss Liu Yuling can become the starring role." ”

Unlike Tom, who values the interests of individual projects, Wang gradually attaches more importance to the interests of the whole.

After all, websites and writers are the real interests of themselves.

Although, in the announcement of the project, Universal has positioned itself as a consultant and given considerable power.

However, if everything is filmed normally, the writers' community will inevitably think that he has made peace with the management because of interests.

In order to avoid this from happening, Wang gradually began to think about what excuse to use to find fault with the crew in order to show his sense of existence.

But he is not very sure in his heart about the effect of this behavior.

However, if at his own insistence, the protagonist is played by Lucy Liu, the effect must be an explosion.

A Chinese actress who is in the same schedule as "Mr. Sweetheart" and competes with Tom Cruz is actually a Chinese actress who has no box office appeal?

it...

That Wang gradually feels in the group of writers must be a representative of a writer who has his own artistic persistence and has successfully forced the management to make concessions!

It's just that... This movie will most likely fail at the box office.

However, it was little Bronfman who was pitted, not himself!

"I just hope that the well-known rich third generation will not increase his IQ too much all at once..."Wang gradually took a sip of milk and muttered to himself.

He was joined by Ron Meyer, the current president of the world.

From the moment he was invited by Bronfman Jr. to become president of Universal, he was thrilled.

After years of immersion in Hollywood, Ron Meyer felt that he was finally at the top of this Vanity Fair.

didn't expect that this rich third generation, who was not familiar with the unspoken rules of production, did not even follow Hollywood conventions in management, but copied the family business.

As the president, he is also subject to the supervision and constraints of many departments.

"On the set, props, and exterior scenes, there are special people in charge, so what's the use of me as the president?"

Ron Meyer, who was blocked from making his money, was of course very dissatisfied with all this.

can only use power to subtly rule the male and female actors?

Then his former position can also be done.

"That's why you're insisting on using the writer as your general counsel and giving so much power!" said Ron Meyer, who let out a long sigh of relief.

"So screw up this time, it's time to get back on track and give the president more power, right?"

He took the fax in his hand and looked at it carefully.

"And Woodward, Viacom, has gone to Europe. ”

Then, the best-selling author, who is in deep trouble at that time, is simply the best person to blame for the failure of the project.

What's more, you can also get the friendship of one of the four directors, the Francis Coppola family.

Look at the other three big directors, how energetic are they now, right?

Spielberg builds DreamWorks and has the potential to become the seventh.

Lucasfilm also received money with the "Star Wars" series and Industrial Light & Magic.

"Trucker" Cameron, is planning an amazing movie with a high budget.

Ron Meyer couldn't believe that Paramount Pictures executives, who had a good relationship with him, didn't get much out of it.

"If the project fails, let Bronfman Jr. fully understand the reality. Ron Meyer said to himself: "When the time comes, we will launch a film with Francis Coppola that will be a good harvest at the box office and word of mouth." ”

"I may not be able to become the emperor of the universe like Eisner!"

He pondered for a moment, then picked up another stack of papers on the table.

After that, I came to the office of Bronfman, who was still busy working.

"Mr. Brown," said Ron Meyer respectfully, "this is the director who has been decided after deliberation." ”

"Hmm. Bronfman Jr. agreed, and then took the actor's information and looked at it.

"Sofia Coppola, a female director?"

"Yes, daughter of Francis Coppola. ”

The great director promised to serve as the producer of the film. ”

"And," replied Ron Meyer, shrugging his shoulders meaningfully, "this Sophia, the cousin of Nicolas Cage, is very fond of Italians." ”

Bronfman Jr. groaned for a moment, remembering the unity and box office appeal of Italians in Hollywood, and nodded.

"Hehe, with the lowest price, in exchange for the strongest cast. He said as he flipped through the file, "Francis Coppola's final cut is also worth reassuring. ”

But just a few minutes later, Bronfman Jr. looked incredulous.

"Lucy Liu, a Chinese actress, what are you kidding!"

"Uh," Ron Meyer's expression was embarrassed, "that's what the best-selling author insisted on." ”

"Because of the concerns of the writers' community, I can't directly refute his suggestion. ”

"Then I can't use my money to buy off the Writers Guild guys!" Bronfman Jr. shouted angrily, "If an actress plays this movie, can it be $1 million at the box office?"

"Actually," Ron Meyer pondered his words, "it's not doomed. ”

"This is a serialized website, and the reader's expectation of the adaptation is valued. ”

"More than 70% of readers claim that they will watch it no matter what it takes. ”

Moreover, because of his enthusiasm for the feminist movement, Wang gradually also has a certain appeal among women. ”

"Originally, because of the limited subject matter, we were ready to give up on these audiences. ”

"But if it's a female lead," Ron Meyer frowned, "it should attract some female audiences?"

"Considering the relationship between the writers, the critics, and the award judges, we may not be able to take advantage of the 'Oscar effect'. ”

Hearing this, little Bronfman was stunned for a moment, took the information and looked at it.

"Hehe," Ron Meyer said in his heart, looking at the famous rich third generation, "but if the audience has too low an evaluation, no judge will dare to let the movie win the Oscar!"
