(I'm funny, today is not the last day of the double, but the last day of the red and white list, and the double lasts until the 7th!) Fortunately, the monthly pass is the same as fighting, thank you for your support! ）

In Hollywood, it's almost impossible to get an A-list star in a supporting role, unless you're a superstar or a cameo. What's more, it is a top-level storage like Tom Cruise, and the chances of wanting them to play a supporting role are even more minimal, they can play a double lead, but it will definitely not be a supporting role.

If the lineup of these top celebrities is combined, it will really become another "Ocean's Eleven", which can be called "Super Pirates of the Caribbean".

But this idea was thrown out after only one turn in his mind, and Chen Tiandu smiled lightly: "I am very grateful for the sincerity of CAA, but it doesn't help me much, they are not suitable for my movie." I shoot my own scripts and never accept advertising endorsements. I have a lot of people to help with my life and work, I have my own company, and I don't think I need an agent. ”

"No one in Hollywood doesn't need an agent!"

The CAA executive was still good-natured, and said with a smile on his face: "There are far more things that agents can help you accomplish than that." For example, now, whoever you like in your movie role, CAA can help you do it. After a pause, the smile on his face became even bigger, and he said: "It seems that Mr. Chen is not only acting in his own movies, Spielberg's new play "Escape", the full lineup is from CAA, except for Your Excellency, and some of the company's internal management has a lot of complaints about it." ”

"Are you threatening me?"

"It's not a threat, it's a reminder."

Chen Tiandu frowned slightly, a little disappointed in him. "It seems that you really don't know. A new play directed by Spielberg. They found me. Instead of me looking for the past and taking the initiative to invite characters. If you talk about that, it really makes me look down on it. ”

Oweston froze, and the smile on his face finally disappeared, "You are not rare in other people's movies, but you are still too sure of your future." I have to say, are you the most confident person I've ever met, or is it arrogant. Of course, maybe you can just act in your own movies right now. But can you guarantee that your inspiration will not run out, there are so many ups and downs in Hollywood, can you still only act in your own movies in a few years? Joining CAA, at least you can guarantee this. Our treatment of top stars is absolutely beyond your imagination. ”

Chen Tiandu suddenly laughed, not to be outdone, and said: "Don't praise CAA like a church, there are too many things for the agency to abandon artists." I'm a very lazy person, I have to get by, and if one day I'm not popular, I'll quietly disappear by myself instead of wagging my tail and begging for a comeback. ”

Orwes also frowned for the first time. Puzzled: "Maybe I really don't understand the Chinese, and I don't understand why anyone resists the agent?" If you join CAA, you won't pay much of a remuneration share. The treatment is the same as that of director Spielberg. ”

"Wow, that's a temptation."

Chen Tiandu laughed exaggeratedly and said, "You really don't know me, I don't just own the matrix, I also have Google." Do you think the boss of a company worth more than $1 billion would put his affairs on the hands of a powerful brokerage firm? Please tell me, I wrote the script of the movie I made, I made the investment, and I picked up all the people in the crew, and then I need to listen to your arrangement. According to CAA's bundling policy, no matter what movie I make in the future, I will have to pay a high price to invite your big-name actors, do you think I'm stupid or you're stupid? ”

He stood up and said, "I think that's the end of today's meeting, I still have to work." ”

In fact, he is not resisting the agent, but he has a lot of things to do, maybe today it is just an IT company, and tomorrow there will be another car company.

If a person with a very low profile came and prayed to act as a "dogleg" for his brokerage business, he might agree. But in front of a behemoth like CAA, which even he himself has to be manipulated, there is really no possibility of cooperation.

Owes's face was a little ugly, CAA has never been rejected so simply since it grew in Hollywood. Do some people think that after Ovitz leaves CAA, they are not the kings of Hollywood? Said: "Mr. Chen, I think you have an opinion about CAA, our CAA is very sincere, and the main purpose of CAA is to create greater benefits for customers......"

Chen Tiandu shook his head decisively, interrupted him, and said, "I have no opinion on CAA, but I still choose the same way." Someone might want to get Tom Cruise and Catherine into the same movie, but it's not me. One more word of advice, the thing I hate the most is that someone is pointing fingers at my films, and you have violated my taboos. The actors I'm looking for are always what I need, not what others need. Maybe I'm a megalomaniac by nature, but this idea has been around since I worked with DreamWorks on The Sixth Sense, so I started Matrix on my own. Please, Mr. Owes. Yingying, send off a guest for me! ”

Niu Yingying stepped on high heels and walked in, "Please, Mr. Oweis." ”

Owes stood up, buttoned up his suit, and said, "I hope Your Excellency won't regret it." ”

Chen Tian smiled freely, "I never regret it!" ”

……

In order to ensure CAA's own stability and that agents do not betray en masse, CAA uses the "cost of betrayal" carefully set by the Ovitz era: superstars are not the responsibility of one agent alone; Guaranteed broker income; CAA monopolizes the entire industrial chain, making it impossible for those who betray CAA to gather top resources. Their bundling policy, which envelops two-thirds of Hollywood's artist resources, is indeed a behemoth. But if you want to threaten Chen Tiandu, let's wait until they have encircled the other third.

This is just an episode, Chen Tiandu didn't take it to heart, but he still underestimated the darkness of Hollywood.

That night, there was a lot of bad news about "Pirates of the Caribbean" on the Internet, and the outside world began to "unify" not optimistic about his new film.

"Christmas Chen's new film is about pirates, and it is a comedy-style movie, which is really a failed choice, and it is hard to imagine how pirates will have anything to do with comedy." "Pirates of the Caribbean may become the second in "Cut Throat Island", and it will also be the first work of Christmas Chan to encounter Waterloo! ”

Hollywood has not had a successful sea-themed movie before, and there was a pirate movie "Cut Throat Island" that lost tens of millions of dollars before, which made the industry feel palpitations. And Chen Tiandu willfully moved the filming location back to his hometown to shoot, giving up the Disney set.

This also makes the outside world have reservations about the film, as long as it is a movie that is close to the sea, it is not very popular in the early days, including "Titanic", because the cost of filming a movie at sea is very high, and it is unknown whether it can be liked by the audience.

Anyway, people who pay attention to Chen Tiandu now know the news, "Pirates of the Caribbean" is more comedic. "Oh shit, can there be any joy among the pirates?"

The theme of the sea, and it is a pirate movie,

Will there be a market for pirate movies now? Sluggish, I can barely think of a good pirate movie, everyone knows this well. It will cost $150 million in super costs, does he want to create "Shipwreck Second", but if you want to make "Shipwreck Second", at least make a disaster romance movie, and actually have a relationship with pirates, and finally be able to recover the cost?

The wave of criticism came so suddenly, and although the entertainment media had not yet had time to comment, the discussion of the news was already going on on the Internet.

"Christmas Chan is going to be a shipwreck second? Wow, that's not good news. Let me guess the plot of "Pirates of the Caribbean", a luxurious ship encounters pirates at sea, and then the hero and heroine are kidnapped by pirates and fight with pirates? God, I can't imagine it. ”、

"To be honest, this movie is worrying, and I think Christmas Chan started to swell after 'Fast & Furious' hit a new box office high. His success may be in the future, but it's time to teach the young and vigorous Chinese director a profound lesson, telling him that cinema is not such a simple thing. The words of this comment are already polite, and many comments are directly sarcastic: "Probably he thinks that he can already compare with Cameron, and follow the trend to shoot the theme of the sea, which is simply funny." ”

The sudden wave of criticism on the Internet can clearly see the traces of someone fanning the flames behind it. Because the information about "Pirates of the Caribbean" did not come out today when the cast was publicly auditioned, but the negative news started today.

The website of the "New York Times" suddenly broke the news: "The latest news, Steven Spielberg's new film "Get Away" may have a change: the role of Christmas Chen may be replaced, and CAA recommended its artist Leonardo DiCaprio to play the role of Christmas Chen, which is said to maintain the purity of the CAA lineup. DreamWorks has not said anything about the matter, but Leonardo's agent has announced to reporters that they have been given an audition and will go all out to compete for the role. Christmas Chan is replaced or a foregone conclusion......"

This news came out of nowhere and really made the Internet lively.

"No, I'm still looking forward to the first co-starring role of Christmas Chan and Tom Hanks, and they will be replaced before filming starts." A fan commented on a well-known film forum. Some movie websites, news forums, and even the official website of the matrix are discussing this matter.

"I admit that Leonardo is not bad, but since the shipwreck, he has been immersed in the quagmire of independent films, can he be compared to Christmas Chen, who has been a big box office producer one after another?" "How can you suddenly change roles, CAA is simply too domineering." From the director to the actors, it has to be their lineup, and poor Christmas Chen has become the object of hype. ”

There are also calm fans who questioned, "Is the news true, maybe it's hyping up the upcoming filming of the new film, right?" ”

Chen Tiandu saw this message, but knew that the news was true. (To be continued......)
