Dwayne Johnson felt as if a volcano was erupting in his chest, and that irritability was constantly spewing out, like a beast trapped in a cage, rampage, but hitting walls on all sides, and that unvented anger was almost about to explode. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
So, he paced back and forth in the office in an anxious mood, an office that could accommodate at least thirty people for meetings, but his strong and tall body almost filled the entire office, and the terrifying deterrent power overflowed everywhere, as if he only needed to shake his body at will, and the whole space would be dismantled and fragmented, and there was no need for words to express it at all, so that others could collectively shut up and wait for him to give orders in fear.
It's like the Hulk.
Now the same question is on everyone's mind: If he was angry, would he really tear down the office?
"Dwayne!" Jake-Wallace only had time to call out before Dwayne's laser-like gaze projected, "What? What do you want to say?" Dawn strode over to the desk and slammed his hands on the table, Jack was startled, he could even hear the painful moans/moans of the solid mahogany table, and his body couldn't help but lean back, but it didn't help, Dwayne's saliva was already splashed on his face.
"Calm down? You still want me to calm down? Hell, God, don't you have anything else to say besides that?" Dawn's anger finally found an outlet, "Aren't you the top agent in the industry? Don't you even pay attention to innovative artist agencies? Aren't you strategizing and resourceful? Then it's time for you to show it! You go and tell Universal Pictures now, I'm going to get 3.5 million pay! No, I want 4 million, hell 4 million! Tell them I'm ready to shoot and I'm ready to go!"
Daune's thunderous fury silenced the entire office, except for Jack, his assistants, Daune's assistants, and Daune's managers, all of them closed their mouths, and even the sound of breathing seemed to disappear.
"Calm down, fuck you/mom calm down!If I grass / your mother right now, will you calm down?ah? Will you?" Dawn's anger still didn't stop, "First the 'New York Times,' the damn reporter swore that the stinky kid would be in the show!' It was the 'New York Times!' 'New York-fuck/the-Times'! Then there's 'Vanity Fair'! And now even the 'Hollywood Reporter' has confirmed it!"
Dwayne's bloodshot eyes swooped down, staring into Jack's eyes, "Tell me, if you can't even believe the Hollywood Reporter news, then what should we believe?Ahhh He's the!"
Breathing heavily, Dawn forced himself to calm down, and after his anger reached the extreme, he finally regained a little reason and temporarily suppressed his voice, "I heard that Steven Spielberg personally approached Ron-Meyer, is this true?"
Ron Meyer is the CEO of Universal Pictures, Steven and Long have a close personal relationship, and when DreamWorks broke up, the first buyer was actually Universal Pictures. If Steven comes out to endorse Lan Li, then this game will not have to be played, and the game can be declared over in advance.
"Daun. Jack resisted the urge to raise his hand to wipe the saliva from his face, and said calmly, "It's impossible. It took him a great deal of effort to stop the "idiot" on his lips and calmly continue to explain.
"What is Steven's identity, what status, and what is Lan Li's role? Do you see that in the past few months, Steven has made any public remarks about Lan Li? Before, it was just for the promotion of the TV series, and after the TV series ended, they had nothing to do with each other, Lan Li was just an ordinary member of the thousands of actors. What's more, even if Steven and Lan Li have a good relationship, how could Steven take the initiative to find Lang for the sake of a third supporting role?
Anyone who is willing to calm down and think about it will soon discover the nonsense of these rumors. But Dawn was always too impatient, too earnest, too impulsive, but fortunately, Dawn's manager was a sane enough guy to keep advising Dawn that otherwise things would have been more tricky.
"And what if Steven actually did that?" Dwayne still insisted, but his words softened significantly, "Otherwise, why would the New York Times and The Hollywood Reporter say that, as if that little guy was already on the set." ”
"Dawn, these reports are just speculation, they didn't give an exact report, just said that the current situation in Lan Li looks very good, and the crew is very satisfied with him. Seeing that Dawn wanted to speak again, Jack hurriedly pressed his hand to soothe Dawn's emotions, "I know, Paul, Fan, they both made positive remarks. But, that's what Neil wants you to see, that's what Universal Pictures wants you to see. ”
Dawn finally settled down, but Jack didn't have time to relax, and said while the iron was hot, "Now, it's the most critical moment. Do you know why the New York Times and the Hollywood Reporter are paying attention to this, and the focus is on Ranley, and Vanity Fair? Like you said, he's just a nobody, and if it weren't for this report, we haven't heard of this name, so why would all of a sudden all the media notice him?"
As a senior agent of William Morris's agency, Jack really has a set, which made the angry Dawn fall into deep thought in a blink of an eye, "All this proves that Universal Pictures intends to contribute to the situation behind the scenes, they just want you to panic, that is, to make you afraid, and then take the initiative to back down." If you think about it, what would Neil do if he did decide to replace you with this little guy? He would quietly sign the contract and throw you a bombshell that wouldn't give you time to react at all, and the crew would go back to filming. ”
Dawn thought about it seriously, "Five days ago, you said this is the same thing, and I agreed, but now, you are still talking about this set, but the situation is different! Five days ago, there was no 'Hollywood reporter'!"
If he is stupid, he is not, in fact, he is just more impulsive, but not stupid, but if he is smart, he is the typical athlete way of thinking, straight and straight, not going around the corner, which is really a headache.
"Dawn......" Jack had time to open his mouth before Dawn interrupted him again rudely, "Why are you so determined? Why are you sure that all this is a conspiracy and not really happening?"
Jack took a deep breath, "Because I know that Lan Li can't be played." ”
This is the real big news, Jack was ready to say it at the beginning of today's meeting, but Dawn was like a bull, quite unreasonable, and didn't give him a chance at all. Sure enough, after saying it at this time, Dawn was stunned in place, and he couldn't react for a while.
"I just received the news this morning that Lan Li has entered another crew. Jack continued, "It was a very small crew, probably less than $100,000 invested, and then a group of new directors and new actors joined in the fun. So the whole industry has not received any news. I told you a long time ago that he is the kind of artistic actor who relies on acting skills to work hard, not an action actor, and he can't compete with you at all. ”
After saying this, Jack finally let out a long breath and looked at the Dawn in front of him. "But, but it doesn't matter, and neither does this work. The important thing is that this work just started three days ago, do you know what this means? This means that Lan Li has no schedule for a short period of time, and it is impossible to join the crew of 'Fast and Thrill/Love 5'!"
The conclusion came out, but Dawn was still unwilling, "But ......"
"No, but. This time, Jack accurately seized the opportunity and grasped the initiative of the conversation, "Daun, do you know how valuable you are now? You can't find a type of actor like you in Hollywood, maybe your acting path is narrow, but in the area of action movies, there is no one to compete with you." Vin Diesel? He's a Barbie doll in front of you! The reason why he's been fighting you all the time is because he can't compete with you at all! What do I want to see? In the future, as long as there are action movies, you will be the number one choice for any company, and all the scripts will have to wait until you have selected them, and then it will be the turn of everyone else!"
The magnificent picture painted by Jack made Dawn show a yearning look.
"Now, this is our chance! 3.5 million! Believe me, you're worth the price! Universal Pictures also knows in their hearts that they don't lack this 1.5 million at all! It's just to suppress your arrogance! However, we can't miss this opportunity, because they are more anxious than us. ”
Jack said loudly, "As long as we hold on a little longer, hold on a little longer, at most half a month, believe me, you can win the 'Fast and Thrill/Emotion 5' crew." At that time, if other action movies come to you to star in again, our salary will be 10 million directly!
In Hollywood, in addition to the benchmark of the 20 million club, in the case of deducting dividends, 10 million is another threshold. This value is not high, after all, there are still 12 million and 15 million above, but as long as you enter the level of 10 million, your status will change dramatically, and you will truly become a "first-line".
Dawn looked at Jack with burning eyes, was silent for a long time, and finally nodded, "I'll trust you again!"
