"Miss Brooke, welcome to the Batman family. ”

In the Asuka Film and Television reception room, Lester shook hands with the girl with brown hair and a beautiful temperament in front of him.

Brooke Xiaosi, who is two years older than him in front of him, is a popular jade girl today, and the role she has created has always been the role of a jade girl.

Brooke Kiss looked happy, "Mr. Lester, you know, I've been trying to transform, and it's really my honor that you can let me play." ”

Looking at the expression on Brooke Xiaosi's face, she said that she was really good, in Hollywood, jade girls are not scarce, and film companies can create a jade girl in a short period of time, especially in the past few years, there have been many jade stars.

It is also in the past two years that several jade stars have appeared, and Brooke Xiaosi has felt the pressure and has been looking for transformation.

The heroine of "Batman", which Lester is about to direct, took a fancy to her, and hoped to be able to star, so she asked her agent to submit her resume.

Brooke Ace didn't expect that she would be able to play the role of photographer Brigitte Valle directly without competition.

The two signed the contract in the presence of their lawyers.

Lester handed her the script, and after sending off Brooke Smalls and her agent, he walked into the audition room and asked about the results of the audition for the casting director, and found that there were many people who auditioned.

The remaining characters in "Batman" are the target of third-tier actors, if not important roles, and Lester also saw the artists of the UTA agency.

Marty Bauer appears to have gone through Lester's first refusal to insert and knew to go through the programmed arrangement of people to audition.

Although Lester's stake in UTA Agency is not as high as Marty Bauer's, the popularity of Asuka Film and Television has spread in Hollywood, and UTA Agency and Asuka Film and Television are now complementary.

Lester looked at the cast list for the audition role and handed him over to the casting director, "Screening a few artists from UTA's agency and signing them into the group." ”

With Lester's permission, the casting director arranged for five UTA artists to appear in the group.

The cast was finalized, and the executives of Asuka Pictures and Warner Bros. released the news.

"Batman" has been kept secret in front of the media at the request of Lester, but from time to time the news is released to the fans who are waiting for it to know.

The cast list of "Batman" was reported by the entertainment media, and Dimes sent company employees to investigate.

Through the news sent back by the staff, thirty percent of the people didn't know Michael Keaton, and twenty percent thought that a comedian could play the role of Batman's justice and dark seriousness.

In the end, most of them want to change to another suitable actor to play, but Lester believes that the choice of Michael Keaton to play Batman is to highlight (transform) the theme, which can emphasize this transformation of personality and highlight the key points inside.

Lester read the collected reports and handed them to the assistant standing next to him, "Tell Mr. Michael Keaton about this, I hope he can make a good portrayal of Batman." ”

When the assistant left, Lester walked out of the office with the latest newspaper he hadn't read, and went to the break room without letting the other assistants follow.

There were employees sitting on stools drinking coffee and chatting, and when they saw Lester coming in and were about to say hello, Lester waved his hand, "Feel free to do whatever you want, don't worry about me." ”

Brewing his own hot coffee, Lester sat closest to the glass, from where he could see the huge TV screen outside.

It plays the movie trailer and the logo of Asuka Film and Television produced by Asuka Film and Television, and there are advertising companies willing to pay for advertising on such a TV screen.

Lester blew on the heat and took a sip of coffee, then opened the entertainment newspaper he hadn't read all along, and was slightly surprised to see the position of the headline on the front page.

"The big revelation in history is that Michael Ovitz's CAA package plan has kidnapped stars and directors, and the agent is no longer for the stars, but for the stars. ”

"CAA agencies may become the leaders of the brokerage companies, and the film companies have to compromise CAA's packaging plan. ”

Leicester already knew these things, there was nothing to look forward to, in fact, the CAA packaging program had already taken root after 10 years, and it was not so easy to defeat when the film company wanted to stop it.

The CAA packaging plan was put out of the dark by the paparazzi and was known.

The brokerage companies that saw this news were shocked by this news, and the CAA brokerage company also became the leader of the brokerage company.

Lester read the article written by the paparazzi word for word, and commented in his heart: "The subject matter is good, the article is new, but this matter is no secret among the top executives of all film companies, and it is not so easy to stop if you want to make up for it"

Then he looked at the other column news, and in the corner, Lester saw the news about "Die Hard".

More than a month later, "Die Hard" is moving towards a box office of more than 80 million US dollars, and in combination with the overseas box office, some entertainment media have predicted that the final box office of "Die Hard" will exceed 100 million.

The arrival of "Die Hard" has paved the way for his surroundings, and North America is about to enter more than 80 million US dollars at the box office, which has already recouped the cost of publicity and production.

Rosdale has budgeted that "Die Hard" will earn $40 million at the box office, plus DVD sales and singing songs.

Dimes walked into the lounge and saw Lester sitting on a stool reading a newspaper, and hurriedly walked over, "Boss, so you are reading the newspaper here." ”

Lester put the newspaper on the table and looked at Dimes approaching, "You can have coffee too." ”

"Yes. Dimes nodded, got a cup of coffee, sat next to Lester, swept the news from the newspaper in his hand, and said in surprise: "CAA packaging plan." ”

Lester shook the newspaper, "I'm just looking at it, what do you think of CAA." ”

"Not very much. Dimes said in disgust, then pouted, "Ten percent of the split, and I have to admire Michael Ovitz for being able to come up with such a long-term plan." ”

"That's why I don't really like working with them. Leicester put the newspaper down in some reluctance.

Leicester's selection of actors for filming films will exclude CAA's artists.

But considering that in the long-term film plan, there are many suitable actors under CAA, which makes him a little helpless.

"By the way, the crew of "Rain Man" has been established, but the actor is only Tom Cruise, not even the director. Dimes took a sip of his coffee and mentioned it in passing.

Hearing that the crew of "Rain Man" was well established, Lester recommended a directorial choice: "Invite Barry Levinson to direct!"

The two drank their cups of coffee and left the lounge, and Dimes ran to invite Barry Levinson, while Lester gathered the three important actors of "Batman" and arranged for the assistant director to help them shoot the makeup poster.
