"Mr. Anderson, this guy's name is Michael Pitt, very good actor. ”

In the film booth of Warner Studios, a video of an audition was being shown on a white screen, and a very temperamental middle-aged man said to Ronan: "He has starred in many films, and among all the actors who auditioned, his acting skills are the best." ”

Andri, the production manager, stood up, shook his chubby body, and retorted, "Michael Pitt's acting skills are indeed the best, but he is not suitable for the role!"

The temperamental middle-aged man is Carl Buyette, the external associate producer of the crew, who has a certain reputation in the industry, is very old, and is also a member of the producer alliance.

"Isn't the basis for our selection of actors acting skills?" Carl Bouyett and Andri went toe-to-toe: "Michael Pitt has good acting skills and a good image, why is it not suitable for the second male lead?"

He didn't seem to take Andri, who was more like a good old man, in his eyes, and said, "Mr. Anderson, I promise, this actor is what the crew needs." ”

Andri is a good man, but he also has his own principles, insisting: "This is a comedy, the characters have their own humorous temperament and aura, but what about Michael Pitt? The acting skills are good, the image is also good, but the temperament is very mismatched! We want a comedian, Michael Pitt has a very obvious gloomy temperament, which makes people feel sad when they see it!"

Carl Bouyett turned to look at Andri: "Temperament can be changed by acting!"

Andriy told the truth: "I didn't see him perform like that in the auditions. ”

After the audition video was played at this point, Ronan raised his hand, stopped the argument between the two, and then looked at the silent director Todd Phillips and asked, "Director Phillips, what is your opinion?"

Although Todd Phillips is only in his early thirties, he can get this directorial position through the investigation of Shahai Entertainment, he has a certain ability, knows the boundaries of his directorial power, and does not want to get involved in the dispute between the production manager and the assistant producer.

And he has directed and shot five films and understands a lot of Hollywood's rules of light and dark.

It's not as simple as it seems.

"I ......" Todd Phillips smiled and said, "Michael Pitt's acting skills are excellent, and his temperament and character setting are not particularly compatible." ”

If you say this, you don't say it.

Ronan glanced at Michael Pitt on the screen, whose slightly gloomy face was more suitable for starring in literary films.

"Andri. Ronan asked directly, "Do you have a better candidate?"

Andri, who has worked with Ronan more than once, has been prepared for another audition video, a young, handsome and sunny actor who looks to be less than thirty years old, in stark contrast to the gloomy Michael Pitt.

In the audition video performance, this person is full of joy, big grin and funny, and seems to have a certain comedic talent.

What's more, Ronan recognized this young actor at a glance as a former big star, but the name was a bit awkward, and he couldn't even remember it for a while, and all that came to his mind were the names and pictures of several very famous movies he starred in, among which the most memorable one was undoubtedly the voice dubbing for the little raccoon in the Galaxy Awkward Dance Team.

By the way, his famous work is a very powerful comedy.

This person's acting skills at the audition are indeed inferior to Michael Pitt, but his own temperament is more suitable for the role.

Although Ronan rarely directly participates in the specific work of the crew, he can't hide some of the circumstances of the crew with slightly higher investment.

"Michael Pitt is not a good fit. Ronan made a direct decision and pointed to the young actor on the curtain: "He's not bad......"

"This is Bradley Cooper, who has played different roles in five films and two series, most of them with a hilarious component. ”

Carl Bouyet did not give up, arguing: "I think ......"

Ronan raised his hand again to stop Carl Bouyet's words and said, "I've decided to use Bradley Cooper." ”

It's not hard to choose between a gloomy actor and a sunny handsome guy, and one of them is still a comedy star in his memory.

Todd Phillips saw Ronan make his decision, stood up and said, "Mr. Anderson, I still have to prepare for the shoot. ”

Ronan nodded: "You go and get busy." When Todd Phillips was out of the pull-sheet room, he said to Andri, "Negotiate a contract as soon as possible." ”

Carl Bouyet wanted to speak again, but Ronan interrupted him directly: "Mr. Bouyet, this matter is over. ”

This producer is hired by Shahai Entertainment, like other Hollywood film companies, with the increase in film projects, although the first producer of the crew is all served by Shahai Entertainment's own people, many members of the production crew inevitably need to be recruited.

The production team has many positions and has more power.

Ronan said lightly: "There are some things, I don't want to say more, it doesn't mean I don't know." ”

Hearing this, Carl Buyett's face changed slightly, but after all, he was an old senior in the circle, and he quickly returned to normal.

Carl Bouyet didn't say anything more and turned to leave the office.

Regarding the dispute over this casting, before coming to the crew today, Ronan had a detailed understanding and knew very well what was going on.

It's nothing more than giving and giving back to those.

It's just between men and men.

If you really want to talk about it, the external Karl Bouillette is still quite principled, and after getting benefits from Michael Pitt, he tried his best to fight for the role for him, and had several arguments with the production manager Andri.

This is not the first time that something similar has happened to the crew of Shahai Entertainment, and it will definitely not be the last, the crew can be said to be the epitome of Hollywood Vanity Fair, not a harmonious and loving kindergarten.

Ronan can tolerate the existence of disagreements, disputes and contradictions, and the crew can't put an end to them at all, but there is a precondition that it can't affect the normal work.

"Downplaying Carl Bouyet's position on the set. Ronan said to Andri: "From today onwards, he has no authority. ”

Andri, who worked with Ronan several times, immediately said, "I know what to do." ”

Ronan did not let the crew dismiss Carl Buyett, the two sides signed a contract, and dismissing him could cause more trouble, without clear evidence of dismissal without cause, once the complaint is filed with the union, it may usher in an investigation by the union.

Unions are synonymous with trouble for Hollywood's management.

Just let Carl Bouyet stand aside on the set.

Leaving the pull-out room, Carl Bouyett sighed, knowing that he was finished on this crew.

But now, there is finally an explanation.

Impulsiveness is the devil.

That night, he drank too much and ate something he couldn't write about, plus a gloomy handsome guy like Michael Pitt......

Carl Bouyet knows very well that if the other party pays, he will have to reciprocate accordingly.

It's nothing, and it probably doesn't matter, but Carl Bouyett doesn't want to take any chances, after all, if a quarrel starts, his wife, children, and family are all ruined.

Although there are many people with similar orientations in the circle, few dare to venture out public.

In order to fight for the role of Michael Pitt, Carl Buyette did not hesitate to quarrel with the production manager several times, and even got in front of Ronan Anderson, the first producer and owner of Relativity Entertainment.

After all, the real choice of actors is in the hands of Ronan Anderson, and he has done his best.

That's the end of it......

Before Ronan left the crew, he specially asked Andriy for Bradley Cooper's information, returned to the car of Relativity Entertainment, and took a general look.

Through Bradley Cooper's material, Ronan gradually recalled the name and general plot of that comedy movie - "The Hangover".

Bradley Cooper is one of the many protagonists.

In this film, Ronan's impression is much shallower, mainly a typical Hollywood, pee, and fart comedy, most audiences in the East are difficult to get the laughter, and sometimes they even feel that it is a group of mentally handicapped people who are wonderfully nervous.

Therefore, American comedy has not performed very well when it leaves the West and even the English-speaking market.

However, this type of film has always been highly accepted in the North American market, and it can be called a genre that will never go out of style, similar to bloody and cruel horror films, and it is relatively less affected by the real social environment.

Now that he thinks about it, Ronan naturally won't let it go.

Back to Relativity Entertainment, while reminiscing about the movies in the past, he wrote the outline and character settings, took out his spare time from work, and got the story outline in a few days, and specially asked people to go to the Copyright Office and the Screenwriters' Guild to do the corresponding search and query.

Nowadays, the Copyright Office and the Screenwriters' Union have all established a digital database, which is particularly convenient to check many things, and after confirming that there is no copyright problem, they will be transferred to the screenwriting department of Shahai Entertainment, and they will complete the creation of the script.

As for the filming and production of this project, it will have to wait until after "Wedding Aoke" at the earliest, and if "Wedding Aoke" can be successful, this filming and production team can be continued to complete this "Hangover".

Ronan struggles to recall information about Bradley Cooper, and discovers that the comedian apparently went on to become a director, directing very popular films with the famous Lady Gaga.

Bradley Cooper can be described as versatile.

Thinking of this, Ronan specifically called Andriy and asked him to try to sign a few more film contracts with Bradley Cooper for Shahai Entertainment.

In September, the North American box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean" approached $350 million, and the global box office exceeded $600 million.

The popularity of this film has passed, and the main publicity and distribution work of Embassy Pictures has gradually shifted to the new film.

Directed by James Win, Saw will be released at the end of the month.
