1193. Take the initiative to come to the door
Ron Mayer was one of the original five founders of CAA.
At the beginning, he and Michael Ovitz and five others became the largest agency in Hollywood, and countless top artists in Hollywood have become CAA clients.
CAA's field has also developed from the original simple film and television to today's music and sports, and more than 30% of Hollywood artists' wealth income lists every year are CAA's customers.
However, it is easy to fight the world, but it is difficult to defend the world.
Of the five people who started the business together, only three of them are still in CAA, Michael sold his shares in the late 90s and invested in other industries, and what made Ron feel even more disappointed was that Ovitz, the leader of the five, also left CAA and joined Disney.
Although Ovitz lost badly in the end and was swept away by Disney, Ron did not mock in his heart, only a faint loss.
The departure of his companion gave Ron a momentary blow, but it made him more determined to defend CAA and defend the country he had fought so hard.
So over the years, he has continued to crack down on promising brokerage companies in the industry, even AMG, which was founded by his former friend Ovitz.
He was called a tyrant in the industry because he was cold-blooded and ruthless, and he ruthlessly tore apart anyone or company that might threaten CAA.
"Ron, that Oriental is just signing an outdated superstar, and Keanu is almost fifty years old, are you too sensitive. Harper, who is also the founder of CAA and now heads the company's literary agency, did not approve of Ron's proposal to suppress Max.
"Harper, you're naïve, do you really think this is the end?" Ron said, "It seems to me that this is just a signal, a signal that the Oriental wants to conquer Hollywood!"
"Do you still remember Zhang Ziyi, who was poached by him at the beginning? Our power in Huaxia has been defeated by the Huayi he has, and the goodwill we released at the beginning of the year, the other party has no intention of accepting it at all, in fact, that Oriental man has stood on the opposite side of us, since he has exonerated the brokerage business, it is impossible to make such a small fuss, judging from his development and behavior over the years, he is not an ordinary person. ”
"So, since we are already on the opposite side, why don't we take advantage of the fact that he is still weak to directly destroy this possible strong enemy in the future?"
Ron walked around the conference table as he spoke, as if he were giving a speech, his words full of agitation and coherence that seduced everyone in the room as earnestly as a wise man.
After walking around, he returned to his main position, his arms supported the table, his body leaned forward slightly, giving people a strong sense of oppression, his eyes were also very sharp, his gaze swept towards everyone present, except for a few, most of the rest looked at him for a moment, and couldn't help but deviate their gaze.
Ron paused for two seconds and asked, "Do you think I have a point?"
"But that Oriental is not a weak fellow. After a moment of silence in the room, it was Harper who spoke.
This made Ron, who was still standing, subconsciously frowned, he had never liked this old fellow, he always felt that Harper was too weak, and he always wanted to solve everything peacefully, but the mall was like a battlefield, and it was not a friendship and friendship, where was there so much friendliness?
Harper didn't know what was going on in Ron's mind, but he was also bitter about Ron's tyranny.
His philosophy is that there are many paths for many friends, and in this circle, one more friend is better than one more enemy.
"And what are we going to do to suppress each other?" Harper asked after a moment's thought.
"That Oriental man, he owns the largest cinema chain in the world, he has his own film production company, he also has a distribution company, except for the actors, we can't pose a threat to him at all. Harper listed them one by one, and finally concluded helplessly.
"Since we can conquer the big six film companies, we can also conquer the Oriental. Ron gave Harper a cold look and said, hating this guy's words that shook the hearts of the army.
But Harper ignored Ron's threatening gaze and continued to retort: "We were able to conquer the big six studios because they needed actors, but I don't think our methods worked for that Oriental, since he came to Hollywood, he has never pursued any stardom, and this alone is equivalent to undoing most of the methods we used before." ”
"But Nie Wei doesn't need it, other movies invested by Max Films must always be used, right?"
"But not all Hollywood actors belong to our CAA, even if we don't let our artists take over the movies produced by Max Films, but what about G, in addition to those two, there are other artists who don't have a brokerage company at all, can we still unite everyone to boycott Max Films?"
Harper gave Ron a disdainful look, thinking that this guy was just whimsical.
Hollywood has never been a place where we can unite as one, let alone resist Max Films, which is invincible as a film company that integrates production, distribution and theatrical chains, and has this world-class publicity platform as a backer.
So in Harper's view, such a company should be befriended, not pushed against itself.
Ron was glaring at Harper, too.
In his opinion, there is no film company that cannot be conquered, as long as the film company needs to make a movie, then they need actors, this is a people-oriented industry, and the CAA that has mastered human resources is the overlord in this industry.
He doesn't believe Max Films will always be as small as it is now, and as long as it wants to grow, it will inevitably face the problem of cooperating with CAA, because many of Hollywood's top stars are CAA's customers.
So don't say that Max Films' scale has not exceeded the six major film companies, and even if it does, Ron feels that he has the means to hold this company.
And he can't wait to suppress Max Films, and he also hopes to include this film company in his camp.
Especially Nie Wei, if it weren't for the fact that the other party's identity was too high and too special, he would have to sign the other party into his own banner even if he looked at the thatched house three times.
It was really the most talented director he had ever seen, making him feel as if he had seen Spielberg and Cameron back then, and even three amazing points.
The key other party's age is less than thirty years old, and in Ron's eyes, Nie Wei is the one with the best chance to take over the title of the king of directors in the future.
But the more he admired it, the more he felt threatened, because Ron understood that Nie Wei was not the person he could bring under his umbrella.
So he wanted to show his muscles to the other party, just like taming a beast, he wanted Nie Wei to submit to him and use him even if he didn't belong to his banner.
The meeting ended unhappily, and the goodwill faction represented by Harper and the main battle faction represented by Ron were clearly distinguished, and each insisted on its own words, and neither could convince the other for a while.
But this matter obviously won't end there, and even in the eyes of Ron and Harper, this is just the beginning, because it is also a power struggle within the CAA.
Just when the two CAA giants started infighting by signing Keanu with Max Films, Nie Wei didn't know about it at all, and he didn't expect it to cause this effect.
He actually only wanted to sign Foy, and Keanu was a complete surprise for Nie Wei.
From beginning to end, this matter was not as Ron thought, it was Nie Wei's ambitious signing for the Hollywood brokerage circle, in fact, it was completely Keanu who took the initiative to send it to the door.
Even Nie Wei couldn't understand why this superstar suddenly wanted to join a brokerage company, and the other party gave an explanation that they were getting along happily, and Nie Wei only believed half of it.
But no matter what, being able to sign Keanu is definitely a good thing for Max Films, at least the brokerage department really has a superstar who can handle it and hold up the scene.
Although Keanu just celebrated his fiftieth birthday a month ago, for Nie Wei, Keanu, who has maintained a good figure, has at least four or five years of golden age, and male actors have a huge advantage in this regard.
As long as the film is selected properly, Keanu can still give full play to the charm of his uncle, play some mature and stable roles, and still attract countless little girls to scream in the cinema or in front of the screen.
What's more, Keanu is a person, the older his acting skills are, the more demonic he becomes, even if he is getting older after five or six years, it is not a big problem to change his acting path, like some older actors, whose status in the circle is not at all worse than those young actors, when the time comes, he will transform and become a golden supporting actor, with Keanu's former popularity and better and better acting skills, maybe he will really win an Oscar.
Nie Wei was idle for more than a month, and he began to get busy again.
It's not that there is anything wrong with the movie, in fact, everything is going very well, and even in early October, Nie Wei has already cut out the first version and watched the film with a group of senior executives and leading actors of Huayi.
Two and a half hours, the film ended, when the lights in the screening room were turned on again, Wang Zhonglei didn't say a word, got up and gave Nie Weiwei, who was still sitting on the side, a big hug, and then couldn't help laughing.
In his opinion, this movie can only be described in two words, that is, wonderful!
As for the box office, if nothing else, it can also be described in two words, that is, stable!
As for honor, Wang Zhonglei can also be described in two words, that is, ambition!
From the League of Assassins to The Martian to Inception, Nie Wei's Thunder special effects technology is also becoming more and more mature, and more powerful special effects can be seen in every movie.
In addition, director Nie Wei has profound skills, and every shot is not simple, like the thousands of acres of green fields under the long shot at the beginning should be a vibrant scene, but the gray sky just gives the audience a sense of depression.
and the visualization of the last time, which gave Wang Zhonglei great visual enjoyment from beginning to end.
Wang Zhonglei also wants to praise the soundtrack of this movie, the spaceship lifted off is that section of the starry sky, and his whole body is full of blood when he listens to it, obviously a person in his forties, he actually wants to carry a gun to the battlefield to fight a brilliant and epic battle.
The kind of impassioned music with a hint of tragedy perfectly fits the mission of the protagonists who take the spaceship, and the feeling of unshirkable responsibility for the rebirth of mankind, under the background of the soundtrack, is like the tears of the old professor in the picture, which is extremely moving.
Wang Zhonglei wants to admire a lot more, and he can't finish it for a while.
At the end of the movie viewing that day, Huayi immediately handed over the film for review.
Because the worldview is empty, and there are no special shots involved, coupled with Huayi's energy, it was replied after half a month of review, only one place needed to be slightly changed, Nie Wei revised it and sent it for review, this time the reply was faster, and it only took three days to send good news to Nie Wei.
Interstellar has passed the trial without a hitch.
In the United States, it is even smoother than in China, and the PG13 rating is decent, because there are fighting scenes in the movie.
But this rating is enough, originally Interstellar is a children's movie, you must have a certain amount of knowledge to watch it, and PG13 is just right, even if it is flat PG or G rating, in fact, it does not help Interstellar much at the box office, this is not a movie that ordinary children will like to watch.
However, in Hong Kong, Interstellar was given the green light and directly won the I level, that is, suitable for all ages.
The ratings of the rest of the simultaneous premieres are not much different, and there are no too strict ratings, and as the good news of passing the review comes back, Huayi and Max Films, represented by Nie Wei, also began to promote and arrange for the film.
In the United States, Interstellar is undoubtedly going to be used by Max Films to compete in the Christmas file.
In China, Wang Zhonglei prefers to put interstellar on New Year's Day, although it is only a few days away from Christmas, but New Year's Day is at least a holiday for Chinese people, but Christmas is gone, Wang Zhonglei wants to take advantage of the New Year's Day holiday to try to see if Interstellar can impact the box office record of the first day of the movie created by Nie Wei before.
At the same time, this film was also sent to the Oscar, Golden Globe Award and Saturn Award by Nie Wei, especially the Saturn Award.
As the release of the movie is getting closer and closer, Nie Wei also began to edit the trailer, and Interstellar, who has been hidden for almost a year, is finally about to reveal his mystery in front of the public.
