1219. Lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot
Catherine's matter, Nie Wei didn't take it to heart.
If Iron Man is exclusive to Robert Downey Jr., Captain Jack is Johnny Depp, it is because they have played this role and played it deeply in the hearts of the people, so many people think that the actor of this role should be played by him.
But Tina's role as an American magician has always existed only in Rowling's writings.
Nie Wei found Catherine, it was because he had watched the movie in the original time and space, appreciated Catherine's performance, and felt that she was more suitable for the role, this is because Nie Wei only had a preconceived idea, so he invited Catherine for the first time, but this does not mean that this role is exclusive to Catherine.
If Catherine had filmed the first part, and the lion opened his mouth in the second part, Nie Wei might have a real headache, but now, hehe, who knows who Catherine is.
So Nie Wei decisively gave up on the actress and turned to other goals, and this time Nie Wei did not limit his eyes to British actresses.
In the past, the Harry Potter series liked to use British actors, and that was because Rowling was British, which was her personal preference.
But Nie Wei is different, in his opinion, there is not much difference between the appearance of the British and the Americans, after all, the Americans are originally the descendants of many of the original British colonists, perhaps the different social environments have caused the difference in their temperament, but this can be made up for by costumes, sets, and acting skills.
And to be honest, how much British woman smell can be left in the British actresses who are mixed in Hollywood in the United States now?
So Nie Wei decided to expand the range of choices, British, American and even Australian actresses, as long as they meet the image and age of the role, are within Nie Wei's range of choice.
After contacting the Actors Guild in the United States, Nie Wei quickly obtained a batch of information on actresses who matched the age of the role.
Tina's role is twenty-five years old in the first part, and there are not too many actresses of this age in Hollywood, but fortunately, the Actors Guild does not casually hand over a bunch of information about twenty-five-year-old actresses to Nie Wei, but classifies them according to fame, awards and works, and then gives them to Nie Wei.
At this point, Nie Wei still admires the convenience of these guilds in the United States in handling things, which makes Nie Wei feel that he has spent so much information in vain.
In these actor profiles, Nie Wei quickly found his target again, Nina Dubov.
Nina is twenty-six years old this year, very close to the age of the character, with a very beautiful face, and was once named the first of the "fifteen most beautiful women in the world" by the American media.
The key is that she is much more famous than Catherine, she has starred in the heroine of the popular TV series "The Vampire Diaries", and has also won the Teen Choice Award and the People's Choice Award, although she has won awards for TV series, but her acting skills are not bad and she is a spiritual actress.
After determining the target, Nie Wei asked the staff to contact the other party's agent and send out an audition invitation.
Nina is a popular star, but her popularity is all based on the TV series "Vampire Diaries", she has not done anything in terms of movies, Nie Wei does not believe that the other party will choose to refuse in the face of such a good opportunity.
But things just exceeded Nie Wei's expectations, three days later, Nie Wei received a reply, the other party refused, and the reason was also very good, Nina already had a play appointment, she wanted to focus on a movie role, and she didn't want to be distracted, so she politely declined Nie Wei's invitation.
The reason for this reply is very good, many actors just don't like to make two movies at the same time, but Nie Wei smelled a hint of conspiracy from this reply.
Catherine's rejection of herself before made Nie Wei feel very weird, and now Nina also refuses, Nie Wei feels that she is not stupid, there must be someone behind this.
But at the same time, Nie Wei also wanted to laugh, how naïve was the other party, would he think that such a small means could hinder him?
The rejection of the two actresses has never been Nie Wei's loss, this will only be the actor's own loss, giving up such a precious opportunity is equivalent to giving up the hope of a fire.
Nie Wei even suspected that the two actresses might not know about it, and most of the problem was with the agent.
According to the information, the agency behind the two actresses is the same company, and it is currently the world's largest agency CAA.
It's no wonder that during the interview for "Interstellar", Nie Wei once rejected CAA's actors, and it was a little unpleasant at the time, but Nie Wei didn't expect CAA to still hold a grudge.
But even if the other party is CAA, Nie Wei doesn't feel anything.
Then Nie Wei called Max Films directly and asked Thomas to organize an audition for an open recruitment of actresses.
There is not only CAA as a brokerage company in this world, but also MA, who has always been at odds with CAA, as well as ICM, a rising star, and even many excellent actors are their own personal agencies at all, with Nie Wei's fame and Rowling's popularity, Nie Wei still can't believe that he can't find a suitable actress.
"Thomas, remember the rumors that I had approached Catherine Watson and Nina Dobrev, but both actresses turned down the offer. Nie Wei didn't forget to give CAA some eye medicine in the end.
Although Nie Wei is not sure if these two actresses know about this, but if they really don't know, it will be interesting, the two actresses refused such a good opportunity when they learned that they didn't know, and they must find trouble with their agents, even if CAA oppresses the two actresses strongly in the end, CAA's reputation will undoubtedly be greatly reduced in the circle.
A brokerage company that will refuse opportunities for actors at will without the consent of the actors, is such a company really worthy of the trust of celebrities, this matter must be a question mark.
"Will this have an impact on your reputation?" Thomas was a little worried, after all, Nie Wei's initiative to invite was rejected by the other party, which sounded a little slap in the face.
Nie Wei was happy, this guy was blindly worried.
Nie Wei dared to guarantee that when this matter was released, no one would feel that Nie Wei was slapped in the face, but only that the two actresses were blind, and even Nie Wei's invitation was refused.
Thomas's execution is very strong, and it was quickly arranged, and when an actor was interviewed at a film press conference at Max Films, he 'unintentionally' leaked the news, which made many reporters on the scene widen their eyes in surprise.
When they knew about it, their first thought was that there was such a stupid female star in Hollywood?
That night, Catherine and Nina Dobrev became the laughing stock of Hollywood circles.
Catherine, an unknown young actor, bore the brunt of it, and asked Nie Wei for tens of millions of salaries is too bad, if they really play like her, then Hollywood is afraid that it will be cold.
A second-tier actress who is reluctant dares to ask for a first-line salary, this is not what audacity is, the key is that it is still a super movie that is worth looking forward to, this can no longer be described as stupid, it is simply a brain that has broken down.
As for Nina, she is better, beautiful girls will always be more tolerant, not to mention that her reasons for refusing are also very legitimate, although everyone wonders what kind of movie made Nina refuse Nie Wei's invitation, is it to participate in Cameron's new movie? But I haven't heard that Cameron is going to make a new film.
When so many people were confused, Nina herself was going crazy.
She does have a movie appointment now, but it's just a cameo, and it's just a comedy with less than 10 million, her character has less than ten lines in total, and the camera may only be a few dozen seconds.
"You refused the actress audition for Nie Weixin's movie for me because of such a small role!? You'd better make it clear to me now why this is, if you can't explain it clearly, I may really have to change agents." Nina was in her villa, loudly questioning her agent.
"That's what Ron meant, Nina. The agent said with a wry smile.
Ron?Hearing this name, Nina, who was angry, suddenly froze.
"Ron said, he will compensate you for a heroine, don't worry, this matter is over, of course, please don't say anything to the outside world, the media will explain according to the statement given by the company. ”
Knowing that Nina was in a bad mood, the agent didn't dare to stay longer after explaining, and soon left Nina's villa.
Looking at the agent's disappearing back, Nina felt as disgusting as if she had eaten a fly.
She is not stupid, Ron said to compensate himself for a heroine, but there is a difference between a heroine and a heroine, "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" announced an investment of 200 million US dollars, adapted by Ms. Rowling, the author of the "Harry Potter" series, and the director is Nie Wei, the new Oscar Best Director, such a combination, it can be said that as long as he joins, he does not need to shoot a movie, which is enough to cause a big topic.
The success rate of such a movie is nearly 99.99%, and there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance of failure.
But can Ron promise himself the heroine of a movie with the same cast? Nina thought on her heels that it was impossible, a big production like Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and especially a big production of a series, even if Ron was at the helm of CAA.
If it weren't for Nie Wei's love to use newcomers, he would not have had the opportunity to contact the heroine position of such a big production.
But now, a great opportunity is like a delicacy in front of him, and he is even about to be delivered to his mouth, but when he comes to his mouth, he is intercepted by his most trusted brokerage company and thrown into the trash.
Nina felt like she was going to explode right now!!
Catherine, who suffered the same as Nina, was already angry, she was even worse, she was an older actress, and she had been tepid, but she finally had such a good opportunity, but without her knowledge, she was rejected by her agent.
And the reason is so strange, when did she ask for a salary of 10 million, Catherine has never asked for such a salary, after all, she doesn't even know about this invitation, so why did the lion open his mouth?
"I need a reasonable explanation!" Catherine stared at the agent with a cold gaze.
The moment this agent blocked her star path, the two had already turned from partners to enemies, and she had already given the other party a death notice now, but he had to understand why the other party did it before letting the other party go.
"Catherine, that's what it means, but the people at the company said that as long as you don't talk nonsense to the media, they will compensate you, whether it's cash or role, you can choose for yourself. The agent replied calmly.
He also knew that from the moment he refused the invitation, the relationship with Catherine would end, but he didn't panic, Catherine was originally an inconspicuous star artist under him, and it was nothing to lose her, and the company promised him that it would transfer the contract of a popular new star to him as compensation after this incident.
"What compensation can compare to this opportunity, and what is the matter with the tens of millions of salaries, you have turned me into a greedy woman!" Catherine said at this time, unable to suppress the anger in her heart anymore, and pounced directly on the agent, stretching out five to grab the face that made her extremely disgusted at the moment.
"Ah!!h
Nina was really ruthless, five beautiful fake nails were scratched off, and the agent's face was covered with five deep blood marks, obviously about to break the phase, looking at the blood on his hand, the agent was furious, grabbed Nina's hair, and shouted 'crazy woman', Nina also lost her mind, and the two fought like this.
Half an hour later, police officers came to the door and took both men away.
The entertainment media, like hunting dogs, soon got the news and rushed to the door of the police station to find out the reason.
In normal times, Catherine estimates that the media doesn't care about breaking her leg, but who makes her the most 'limelight' cub in Hollywood today.
Especially after the sky-high salary incident, Catherine had a physical conflict with her agent, and the paparazzi with a keen sense of smell and flexible mind felt that there must be a big article behind this matter.
And Ron was so angry that he dropped the phone when he learned that Catherine and her agent had been arrested at the police station for a hands-on fight.
He just wanted to make some trouble for Nie Wei, and then take this opportunity to show Nie Wei his 'strength', so that he could take the initiative in possible cooperation in the future.
But he didn't expect that Nie Wei didn't play cards according to the routine at all, and after refusing twice, the other party chose to make it public and directly caught him off guard.
It was also at this moment that Ron figured out how many stupid tricks he had made, and he regretted it, but it was too late to regret it.
That's why he hurriedly gave a bunch of promises, wanting to stabilize the two actresses, as long as the two actresses don't talk nonsense to the outside world, then this matter is not a trouble.
But now Catherine and her agent have a physical altercation, which makes Ron understand that he is in trouble.
Ron was in his office, like an ant on a hot pot, unable to sit still for a moment, and just as he called his lawyer for the fifth time to ask how the matter was resolved, a staff member knocked on the door and brought bad news.
Hubble organized the board of directors to inquire about today's events, and Ron was informed, his face was gloomy and scary.
