"What do these pictures say? Isn't this kind of private gathering normal? ”

Winona Ryder threw the picture on the table and looked at John.

"Yes, this kind of gathering is normal, but the agreement they reached at this gathering is not normal at all. John pointed to a document on the table. "This document is the agreement they reached, you can look at it. ”

Winona Ryder heard John's words and picked up the papers from the table and looked at them.

It's a contract between an agency and an actor, and Winona Ryder is familiar with it because she signed it with an agency.

But the difference is that the contract in her hand is a Class A contract, and the contract of the agency is generally divided into five types of ABCDE, each of which corresponds to a different level of actors, and the Class A contract is only eligible for first-line superstars, and there are not many people with this qualification in Hollywood.

"Johnny Depp. ”

Winona Ryder saw a familiar name in the signature on the last page, which made her frown slightly, and she couldn't help but wonder, according to Johnny Depp's current coffee position, she is completely ineligible for such a contract, but Johnny Depp's handwriting is familiar to her, and the signature in front of her is not forged.

"Isn't it confusing that Michael Ovitz actually signed a Class A contract with Johnny Depp?" asked John slowly.

"Maybe it's because Michael Ovitz values Depp's future development, so he wants to use a contract to pull Depp into the CAA!" Winona Ryder obviously didn't have much confidence when she said this.

"Do you believe that?" John raised an eyebrow.

Winona Ryder didn't answer, because she knew that this kind of thing couldn't happen, when the agency signed a contract with an artist, it would only squeeze the artist's coffee position and seek the greatest profit, and it was impossible to sign a contract like this beyond her own coffee position.

Just like making a movie, when the production company negotiates the salary with the artist, it will only pay according to the artist's current coffee position, and will never determine in advance that an artist will be a superstar in the future, and then pay him the price of a superstar now.

So according to Johnny Depp's third-tier actor's coffee position, the agency will only sign a C-class contract with him, and as for A-class, it is completely impossible, unless CAA is opened by Johnny Depp's family.

John, who was on the side, saw that Winona Ryder did not speak, and slowly opened his mouth to tell the cause and effect of this incident.

"Michael Ovitz and I are at odds with me is no secret in Hollywood, and I'm sure you know it.

So after seeing that I chose you as the heroine, he and Harvey Wihenstein found Johnny Depp, hoping that the emotional blow would affect you and make you unable to complete the scene, so that "Forrest Gump" will be in trouble.

And that contract in your hand is the benefit that Johnny Depp got from this matter.

As for the tape next to it, it is a recording of Harvey Wienstein's phone call to Johnny Depp yesterday, in which Harvey Wihenstein asked Johnny Depp to break up with you in this recording. ”

Winona Ryder heard John's words, her eyes looked at the tape on the table, and her heart was full of conflict.

Finally, she took a deep breath and, as if she had made a decision, put the tapes, papers, and photos on the table into a file bag and took them to the backyard to be burned.

Two lines of tears welled up in her eyes as she watched the smoke slowly rise, the contents of the document bag gradually turning to ashes in the flames.

She didn't want to listen to the recording, and she didn't want to keep the evidence.

"There's no true love in this line, or haven't I met it?"

As the flames went out, Winona Ryder turned to look at John.

John didn't dare to look at her, his eyes went up, he looked up at the sky, and was silent for ......a long time.

In the end, no one knows how John answered Winona Ryder, except that after he left, Winona Ryder locked herself in her bedroom and howled.

But none of this has anything to do with John, he has already done what he should do, and now it's up to Winona Ryder to choose.

There are only two paths in front of Winona Ryder, either to move forward with tears and finish filming "Forrest Gump", or continue to sink into grief.

However, this kind of sinking comes at a price, since she released a pigeon in Francis Ford Coppola's "The Godfather", although she made a reshoot of "Four Hundred Years of Passion" later, but the mainstream film industry still did not recognize her, and it was not until 97 Twentieth Century Fox boldly used her as the heroine of "Alien 4", but her luck was too back, and the $70 million film finally hit the street.

And if she releases John's pigeon again in this life, what awaits her is to be completely abandoned by mainstream Hollywood film companies, in a society where the spirit of contract is supreme, breach of contract is an unacceptable thing, let alone breach of contract three times and twice. Just ask that crew to dare to invite this kind of actor, especially those big-budget movies, the investment is big and risky, if you are inviting this kind of unreputable actor, it will not increase the risk!

Therefore, Winona Ryder's choice is either to think of heaven or hell.

The next day, the sun is still rising, the sun is still shining, the world will not stop for anyone, and the crew of "Forrest Gump" will not stop for anyone, John has decided that if Winona Ryder still can't rush back to the crew today, then he can only regretfully give up the heroine.

In Hollywood, the vanity fair, it seems that there is a lack of everything, but there is no shortage of actors, let alone women who want to become famous in one fell swoop.

What's more, John had already taken precautions, in order to prevent Winona Ryder from releasing pigeons and causing trouble to the crew, John found a replacement in the UK before the movie started.

So once it is confirmed that Winona Ryder is not good, he will immediately call in a substitute to reshoot Winona Ryder's scene as soon as possible, so that the loss of the crew can be minimized.

Just as John was thinking about calling Kate Beckinsale at night and asking her to come over, a familiar voice suddenly came to his ears.

"Director Chris Deng, do you think today's scene can be filmed normally?"

Tom Hanks asked, looking at John behind the monitor. He knows about Winona Ryder's breakup, and now that all major media are broadcasting it, it's impossible to know it.

"I'm sorry Tom, I don't know about this, you know people who are in lovelorn, it's hard to figure out what to think, but she didn't come before the sun went down, so let's call it a day. "When John left yesterday, he discussed with Winona Ryder that if she didn't arrive before the sun went down today, she would automatically give up filming because she had defaulted.

"Of course I understand, I've experienced this kind of thing, and I've experienced the pain in it, but Winona's broken love came at a bad time. Tom Hanks felt a little sorry for Winona Ryder, the two had been in the same crew for so long and there was no direct conflict of interest, so he had some sympathy for Winona Ryder.

"Tom, your role is coming to an end, and I'm going to give you a big farewell party. John didn't want to discuss Winona Ryder, so he changed the subject to lightheartedness.

"No, no, no...... Save the farewell party for the celebration!" Tom Hanks hurriedly waved his hand. "You know, I'm going to Once Upon a Time in Philadelphia right now, and I'm going to keep up and not let up in the meantime. ”

"Alright!" John shrugged helplessly, then stretched out his hand and looked solemnly at Tom Hanks. "But thank you very much, your acting professionalism has made the crew a lot less troublesome. ”

"Yes, I'm happy to work with you, and hopefully we'll have the opportunity to work together. Tom Hanks smiled and shook John's hand.

"There's definitely a chance, and it won't be long. John shook Tom Hanks' hand and smiled mysteriously, and in his plan there was a movie in which Tom Hanks would still be the main character.

"Oh, what you mean by that should be a plan, can you easily reveal it?" Tom Hanks originally said it casually, but he didn't expect John to really have a plan.

"It's a movie about World War II, based on a true story, and it's just a preliminary plan, and the specific script hasn't come out yet. John probably talked about the genre, he didn't say the specific plot involved, and until Tom Hanks was finally confirmed to be the main character, these things were classified.

"Oh, can you give me a copy of the script when it comes out?" Tom Hanks was a little surprised, he was very interested in the World War II genre.

"Of course. John was very satisfied when he saw that the success had aroused Tom Hanks' interest, he knew that Tom Hanks was obsessed with World War II films, otherwise he would not have made "Band of Brothers" and "Blood in the Pacific" with Spielberg after filming "Saving Private Ryan".
