Tracy Jacobs is a famous Hollywood agent, he used to play for CAA, and in 1998, he was poached by UTA at a high price, and became the vice president of UTA Agency.

In addition to her extensive network and strong abilities, the reason why she is so used by UTA is because she has an ace actor in her hands - Johnny Depp!

The current Johnny Depp, although he is not a superstar, has a personalized performance method that makes him stand at the peak of the first-line actors, and he does not worry about film appointments at all.

This summer, he starred in the Twentieth Century Fox thriller "From Hell," and he was the leading male lead.

Now, "From Hell" has been completed, Tracy Jacobs immediately received a new film contract, directed by Johnny Depp's old partner Tim Burton, and it is a commercial blockbuster with a huge investment "Pirate League: The Curse of the Black Pearl"!

If it had been placed in the past, Tracy Jacobs would have accepted such a film offer without hesitation.

Johnny Depp is a star dug up by Tim Burton, and the two have been friends for many years, and he is also the male number one in a commercial blockbuster with an investment of at least $150 million!

But the situation is completely different now, because "Pirate League: The Curse of the Black Pearl" is a movie invested and produced by Down Pictures!

Disney and Down Pictures are in a lot of trouble and have issued blocking orders to each other, at this time, as long as there is a little brain, they will not participate in this troubled waters.

The matter of the "blocking order" will definitely not be shelved like this, and it will have a very bad impact on Hollywood after a long time.

Although Tracy Jacobs is not yet clear, she is sure that there must be a big man behind the quiet operation to resolve the conflict between Down Pictures and Disney.

When this farce is over, the two sides will negotiate the film contract, which is more in the interests of Tracy Jacobs and Johnny Depp.

However, Johnny Depp has a weird temper!

"I don't care about any bullshit Disney, I just know that Tim helped me in my most difficult time! And "Pirate League" is a commercial blockbuster with a huge investment, and I need this opportunity!" Johnny Depp didn't give her a chance to dissuade at all, and his attitude was very tough.

Tracy Jacobs said bitterly: "John, I have never stopped you from working with director Tim Burton again, but the timing is not good. Anyway, the "Pirate Alliance" project has not yet been approved, and we can delay it for half a year. ”

In her opinion, half a year is enough for the big people to resolve the adverse effects of the "blocking order".

Johnny Depp said: "Delay? No, it's impossible! I need to sign with the crew of "Pirate League" right away. Tracy, I understand your scruples, but in my eyes, it's only movies. Tim said that this movie was tailor-made for me, and I needed to participate in the pre-production of the crew to better integrate into the characters. ”

"But it's about the banning order...... John, don't forget, that's Disney!" Tracy Jacobs warned in a deep voice.

Johnny Depp pouted disdainfully, "So what? Disney is still engaged in cartoons, do they understand movies? In contrast, Don Pictures is the new symbol of the new century." I heard that the Pirate League franchise would be produced by Donn Walker himself, and I look forward to working with him. ”

Tracy Jacobs is both bitter and helpless.

Johnny Depp's maverick personality makes him unique in Hollywood. Many people say that Tom Cruise can be replaced, but Johnny Depp is irreplaceable, referring to his unique way of acting.

However, it also caused Tracy Jacobs' job a lot of trouble.

The UTA agency is not a giant like CAA and MA, and once the relationship with Disney is not handled well, it is likely to affect other artists in the company.

But Johnny Depp is the biggest star in her hand, and she must do what he wants, otherwise he will change his agency in a fit of anger, and it will be miserable.

Now, what to do?

Tracy Jacobs looked dazed and couldn't make up his mind.

After the matter of the ban order broke out, the first-line actors of the entire Hollywood have cleverly avoided this turmoil, and so far, only the veteran actor Jack Nicholson has made a strong statement and sided with Donn.

Although Bruce Willis also publicly said that he is willing to start a long-term cooperation with Disney, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this guy has been on Donn's "banned" list, even if he wants to ride the wall, it depends on whether Donn agrees.

At this time, when the "ban order" was in full swing, Johnny Depp chose to cooperate with Don Pictures with great fanfare, which is simply a slap in the face of Disney!

Jack Nicholson can rely on the old and sell the old, but Johnny Depp cannot, he is only 37 years old and is in the golden age of an actor.

What to do?

Sitting in his office, Tracy Jacobs mechanically fiddled with the computer on his desk, his mind confused.

Suddenly, on Yahoo's entertainment page, her eyes seemed to turn into luminous objects, and suddenly released countless rays of light, and her whole body vibrate, staring closely at this piece of entertainment news on the screen.

Her heartbeat, like the beat of a drum, is getting faster and faster!

Even when she quarreled with Johnny Depp just now, she was never so nervous or excited.

This entertainment news reported by Yahoo looked worthless, and even the editors put it in a corner when they typeset it.

But Tracy Jacobs, who is a Hollywood media, immediately noticed the value of this news!

This is absolutely breaking news!

The content of the title is very unobtrusive, "Mel Gibson Joins", but the deep meaning behind it makes Tracy Jacobs creepy.

After Jack Nicholson, another powerful, status, and influential actor stood in line.

This time, it's Mel Gibson, Hollywood's number one action superstar today!

The content of the news is simple," Yahoo reports: Mel Gibson recently joined the crew of "A Beautiful Mind" and made a cameo appearance as a college professor. It is said that Mel Gibson did not take a penny for this cameo, and according to his agent, Mel Gibson lost a bet with director Donn Walker, which led to this cameo. ”

Tracy Jacobs scoffed at the content of the news, and the reason for the bet was ridiculous, which must be the claim that Mel Gibson's agent wanted to ease the relationship with Disney in order to shirk responsibility.

It's just that no amount of reasons can hide the facts.

Mel Gibson resolutely and decisively chose Donn Pictures at the height of this "ban order", which is definitely a slap in the face of Disney!

This Australian tough guy is really tough enough!

Such a report, from the perspective of ordinary people, may be unremarkable, but it can be seen from the more than 2,000 hits alone, this is not a hot topic.

However, for Tracy Jacobs, it was like a thunderbolt on the ground, both stunned and surprised!

Johnny Depp's matter, saved!

With Mel Gibson up front, Tracy Jacobs has more confidence. Since it can't change Johnny Depp's mind, it is better to use Mel Gibson's momentum to complete the negotiations with the crew of "Pirate League".

If it attracts the wrath of Disney, Mel Gibson can be put in front, and Johnny Depp will have a lot less pressure.

……

In September, Disney's movie "Fox Dog Party" failed at the box office and word of mouth, according to the current box office trend, this film with an investment of 35 million US dollars, the North American box office can exceed 10 million US dollars, which is a miracle.

As for the overseas box office...... If it can be released overseas, it will be considered a success.

In contrast, Tang En Pictures' "Soul Shifting Girl" has a strong reputation, although the box office has been ranked in the middle, but it has strong word-of-mouth support, and it is better to last.

The crew of "A Beautiful Mind", which is filming in the Boston area, will release one or two messages from time to time to maintain media attention.

Mel Gibson's cameo immediately caused a shock throughout Hollywood!

Especially between giant film companies and A-list stars, everyone will change their faces when they hear this news.

Don Pictures is too strong, right?

First a veteran actor like Jack Nicholson, and then a popular superstar like Mel Gibson, the two of them came forward to stand on the platform, which suddenly made the current competition between Down Pictures and Disney on the "ban order" stalemate, showing a one-sided situation.

It is not the media giant Disney that shows the winning side, but the emerging film company Down Pictures!

This situation is somewhat surprising!

Disney has a big brand of an old studio, but it can't attract the support of stars. On the contrary, Towne Pictures, which has only been established for 3 years, has already formed a huge pattern in Hollywood.

Is the strength of Down Pictures already so strong?

With Michael Eisner's strong personality and iron-fisted methods, he will not give up. Jack Nicholson and Mel Gibson's support for Down Pictures is actually a small fight that doesn't have much impact on Disney.

However, Disney can't afford to lose face!

It is conceivable that Michael Eisner must be very angry and annoyed at this time!

Perhaps, he is brewing a new layout!

Just when the entire core of Hollywood was talking about different opinions, speculating about what kind of counterattack Michael Eisner would come up with, Don Pictures held a press conference and released a piece of news that made everyone stunned and goosebumps-

Johnny Depp has signed with Down Pictures, and he will be the male lead in Don Pictures' new film project!

For a time, Hollywood was surging!

Down Pictures is already unstoppable!
