Andy Rogers took a long sip of coffee, the sourness of not adding any added sugar made him shiver, and he looked at the sugar jar on the edge of the table, and then at his pot-bellied beer belly...... Then put a sugar cube, which is equivalent to losing weight. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Flipping through the newspapers and magazines on the desktop, the front page headline of "Entertainment Weekly" was terrifying, "'Fast & Thrill 5' Postponed Indefinitely? Universal Pictures Is Considering Adjusting Its Schedule for Release in 2012!" Underneath the obvious red lettering, there is also a row of subheadings in black lettering, "Partnership negotiations with Dwayne Johnson have officially collapsed!"

Andy's expression was not the slightest surprise, recently, the news about the crew of "Fast and Thrill/Love 5" has been endless, and the news will be broken every three or five days, and the physical magazine of "Entertainment Weekly" is published once a week, so this headline is already relatively lagging behind, more like a collation of the news of the past week.

However, "Entertainment Weekly" is not the only media that pays attention to the progress of the "Fast and Thrill/Emotional 5" crew.

"The 'Fast & Furious 5' crew is infighting, suspended for three weeks, and the loss will be as high as five million dollars!"

"Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson have a big fight? Diesel said: With him and without me!"

"The casting fell into a quagmire, and there was an accident in the pre-shooting test, and the Rio de Janeiro municipality/government rejected the crew's request for a filming schedule, and 'Fast and Exciting 5' was unfavorable. ”

Dwayne Johnson: I'm desperate to be part of the family, but we're still in conversations. ”

"The crew of 'Fast & Thrill 5' announced that it would continue to suspend for another two weeks, and that the resumption of filming was far away, and Universal Pictures was silent about it. ”

……

These are all the latest news today, it can be seen that the crew of "Fast and Furious / Emotional 5" is in a stalemate, and the policy of using Lan Li to divert attention has lost its due deterrent effect, Dwayne Johnson saw through the crew's intentions, and began to put pressure on the crew and Universal Pictures through the media;

Universal Pictures has never been good at making sequels, and of the big six, they have developed the fewest sequels, especially the ones that make money. At the moment, the "Fast & Thrilling/Emotional" series is their only trump card, and naturally all eyes are on it. Now, it's the attitude of Ron Meyer that counts.

If Lang is willing to stiffen Neil, then Dawn's replacement is a sure thing, after Dawn and Neil have been fighting for so long, Neil is bound to hold back a breath of anger and refuse to let go easily, but if Lang lets go and gives Dawn a green pass, Neil will not continue to insist, it is estimated that the slowest is three days, the fastest is twenty-four hours, and "Speed and Excitement/Emotion 5" can be put into filming.

Andy habitually puts the Los Angeles Times last, and for people on the East Coast, the New York Times is the most important part of their lives, and correspondingly, the Los Angeles Times has supremacy on the West Coast.

Today's front page headline of the "Los Angeles Times" is the outgoing California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is about to step down in January next year, and everyone is now paying attention to the election of the next governor, as well as Arnold's achievements in the past seven years.

Elsewhere, the news that dominated the front page was a drought warning in California. After last year, California is likely to face the challenge of drought for the second year in a row. This has caught the attention of the entire state of California, and the Los Angeles Times is naturally the first to raise the brunt of the warning for local residents.

Flipping through the entertainment version, Andy was going to briefly scan the headlines of each section first, but his eyes fell on the headline position, and then he was stunned, "The next new member of the 'Fast & Thrill/Emotional 5' crew: Jason-Statham?"

Andy carefully searched the memories in his mind, and he was a little surprised that he had received no news of Jason's contact with the crew. Jason, who entered the field of vision of an action actor with the "Death Express" series, has not made any more achievements in Hollywood for the time being, and he is even five years older than Dwayne, but his athlete background, flexible skills, and tough guy style have indeed left a lot of impressions.

If Jason replaces Dwayne......

After thinking about it, Andy pressed the call button on the phone, "Nancy, you can help me find out, who Jason Statham's agent is." ”

After hanging up the phone, Andy's brain began to work rapidly, this game of chess finally came to this situation, he would never take it lightly, let alone disarm and surrender, until the last moment, he refused to let the duck fly to his mouth.

It's strange that he hasn't heard anything about Jason in the past week - because his eyes have been fixed on the important people on the Fast & Furious 5 crew, completely cut off from the news, either unnoticeable or inside. However, the report came from the Los Angeles Times, which became more and more intriguing.

"Andy, Jason is an entertainer in our company. About three minutes later, Andy received a reply from his assistant Nancy Kinsley, who was really flooding the Dragon King Temple, Andy chuckled and relaxed his tense mood a little, "Who is in charge of him now?"

In other words, Andy has unhindered access to all of Jason's work, no need to chase the wind, just the inside scoop, and similarly, the "Fast & Thrill 5" performance opportunities are open to all actors in the company.

So, what happens when their artists become competitors? The solution is also very simple, who has more potential, who is more valuable, who is more in line with the requirements, then who is on the list, to ensure that the resources can be reasonably maximized.

Take "Fast & Excitement/Love 5" as an example, who is more suitable between Lan Li and Jason, the innovative artist agency will choose whom, if Lan Li and Jason are both unsuccessful, then Andy will recommend another actor to the crew, unless the crew signs a contract with Dwayne Johnson directly, otherwise they will work hard until the innovative artist agency wins the role.

Of course, such a plan is only for newcomers like Lan Li and Jason who have no roots, and those top actors are a different matter.

After a few brief phone calls, Andy was relieved.

Neil did contact Jason, but it was just a smoke bomb. In fact, Jason has signed a contract with the crew of "The Expendables", and is about to star in this blockbuster full of tough guys, and there are two other works under negotiation, so there is no need to worry about the film contract.

This made Andy smell something unusual, and Neil's movements began to pick up, and it seemed that they had decided to give up on Dawn.

Choosing a smoke bomb like Jason is sending a signal to Dwayne: they would rather choose Jason Statham, who has a similar style but is one size smaller, than choose the best option, Dwayne Johnson.

This is bound to make the team behind Dawn start to run quickly, either Dawn will make a decision immediately, reduce the salary, bow his head and compromise, otherwise Neil will not continue to wait, and then complete his signing plan step by step, refusing to continue to pull the strings. It seems that Lang is on Neil's side.

The question is, who will Neil choose to replace?

Lan Li is now getting closer and closer to the crew of "Speed and Excitement/Love 5", almost one step away, but this position is also the most uncomfortable. At the last moment, once Dawn made a decisive decision, then Lan Li was likely to fall short before the finish line. The feeling of being within reach, but still not holding it in the palm of your hand, is the most unsettling.

"Jingle bell", the phone ringing interrupted Andy's thoughts, he picked it up, and Nancy's voice came again, "Andy, Neil H. Moretz is on Line Three." ”

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

Andy's eyes froze slightly, "Help me take it." Then Neil's voice with a polite laugh came from the other end of the phone, "How are you feeling today?" I thought I could see you at Barry Mayer's private party on the weekend, it seems that you have other better arrangements." ”

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1)" is about to land on this year's Halloween schedule, which also means that the Harry Potter series that spanned ten years has entered the final stage. Therefore, as the CEO of Warner Bros., Barry naturally had high hopes that the series would end perfectly, so he held a private party, invited all the bigwigs, and started the business operation process with a strong attitude.

"The threshold for the party is too high, not for anyone to enter, and unfortunately I didn't get an invitation. Obviously, I missed a lot of the big plays. Andy also smiled politely and said half-jokingly.

In fact, he attended another party over the weekend, Scott-Rudin's private party to promote "Hell" — awards season hasn't started yet, but the warm-up parties are already on the way.

Neil naturally didn't take it seriously, and also joked, "Don't worry, you didn't miss anything except Charlie-Sheen got drunk again and took off his pants." After a brief polite remark, Neil cut straight to the point, "That young guy under your hand, how are things going lately?"

Andy has many actors under him, but only one young actor is Lan Li.

"It's like countless young people, waiting for his opportunity. Andy also gave Neil a step down.

But Andy and Neil both know that Lan Li is now filming intensively with the "Love Crazy" crew, and Andy has never deliberately hidden the news, but people haven't paid attention to it. Anyone who cares can know the relevant situation.

Neil also didn't know, and chuckled, "That's great, I think he's the actor our crew has been looking for." Paul also told me yesterday that he couldn't wait to work with him. ”

"Wow, that's great news. "It's so clear, and you have to put on the appearance of what you just heard," Lan Li would definitely be happy if he knew. It's just that I don't know what the crew's plans are in terms of salary budget?"
