There have been a lot of rumors in the circle recently about the crew of "Operation Smith", although it has not been reported in the newspapers, but the preparation stage has become the focus of attention of many senior industry insiders, which is indeed not easy.

Doug-Liman, who filmed "Spy Movie", took over the lead, wrote "Extreme Agent" and "X-Men 3" screenwriter Simon-Kinberg, and wrote "Batman Forever" and "A Beautiful Mind" Akiva-Goldsman (Akiva-Goldsman), who wrote "Batman Forever" and "A Beautiful Mind" as the producer...... This behind-the-scenes lineup alone is enough to make people look sideways.

Therefore, the movie has attracted a lot of attention in the casting stage.

This work is about a happy couple who are actually killers with unique skills, and they work for a spy killer organization that is a sworn enemy to each other, and one day, they get a new job - the trump card to kill a competing company, which is precisely the other half of their marriage. So the couple will be the absolute protagonists of the whole movie.

At the beginning, Nicole Kidman and Brad Pitt were the absolute choices, but then Nicole gave up the role, so the selection of the heroine began to be mixed, and after Catherine Zeta-Jones, Gwen Stefani (Gwen-Stefani), Aishwarya Rai (Aishwarya-Rai), Cate Blanchett and others, it is still impossible to determine the candidate.

Immediately afterwards, Brad also left the crew, which forced the crew to start thinking about inviting Johnny Depp or Will Smith to take over. Not long ago, Angelina was officially confirmed to appear in this film, and then Brad also announced his return, and now the crew has finally embarked on a regular basis and is about to start filming.

As soon as Lance mentioned "Operation Smith", Dylan's mind was running through a myriad of ideas. At the last moment, Dylan's eyes couldn't help but light up - the crew of "Sahara Cavalry", the male and female protagonists fell in love because of the play, and the fake play was really done, so what about the crew of "Operation Smith"?

If it's true......

Angelina's love history is very hot, almost every relationship is vigorous, and the same sex and the opposite sex are killed. Especially after ruining Billy-Bob-Thornton's marriage, the two have repeatedly done amazing things in the three years they have walked together, and the two even exchanged small bottles containing their own blood as necklaces to decorate on various occasions, which can definitely be said to be a representative of Hollywood's rebellious and uninhibited personality. As for drug abuse, alcoholism, and the list goes on.

As for Brad Pitt, the representative of Hollywood blonde sexy/sexy handsome, almost a sexy/sexy symbol of an era, has been together for six years since he and American sweetheart Jennifer Aniston were sweetly married. Quite a few people believe that Brad has the potential to become a model family actor like Tom Hanks. Breaking the pattern that Hollywood's golden boys and girls always die badly - when Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman divorced, it made many people feel embarrassed.

Dylan didn't dare to continue thinking about it now, because even just one possibility was enough to make him so excited that he fainted directly from a cerebral hemorrhage, "So, the 'Operation Smith' crew? ”

In the face of Dylan's questioning, Lance did not plan to explain too much, "Opportunities are only reserved for those who are prepared." "After that. Lance just hung up the phone.

Percy, who was standing on the side, endured it, but still didn't hold back after all. "So, are you going to teach her a lesson?"

Lance thought for a moment, "No, I'm just investing in the future. "Paparazzi can be a weapon to attack artists, and naturally they can also be used by artists," by the way, Jennifer Aniston was reminded a little. "It's just a small episode. Lance didn't take it to heart, picked up the paper on the table, "Go check the information of these four companies, and then give Theo what you found out." ”

Percy took the paper, a list of unfamiliar names. Subconsciously raised his head and glanced at Lance, who seemed to be a little incomprehensible, but after thinking about it, he still didn't ask the words, folded the paper properly, and put it in his pocket, "So, do you need to tell Dorothy about what happened just now?" ”

Dorothy Wright...... Lance hesitated for a moment and shook his head. At this moment, the mobile phone rang, and when I opened it, it was a call from Cole Greid, but Lance didn't answer, so he hung up directly, and then stood up and picked up the briefcase on the table, "I'm going to audition." He patted Percy on the shoulder and trotted out of the house.

The door was closed again, and Percy stood still, looking at the mess on the table, with drinking glasses, candy wrappers, cookie crumbs, and a pile of scrap paper, exhaling softly, then rolling up his sleeves.

Lance came downstairs, saw the black SUV parked on the side of the road at a glance, waved hello, and then walked unhurriedly to the direction of the passenger seat, opened the door and sat in. ”

Lance raised an eyebrow, "It's their pleasure to wait for me." The undisguised pride and confidence in the understatement made Cole laugh dumbly.

"Murder with a Knife" has been completed, "Sin City" has been started, and Cole has completed both tasks smoothly, so he has undoubtedly become Lance's agent, which he deserves. Last week, Lance and Cole completed the signing and officially handed over their brokerage business to Cole; At the same time, Dorothy also signed a contract to become Reims's publicist, but the cooperation between the two sides obviously needs more running-in, and they are still in the tentative stage.

Today, "Sin City" officially entered the casting stage, so Lance temporarily left the editing room of "Murder with a Knife" and went into battle in person to start the audition. Originally, Cole didn't have to appear in person for this work, after all, he was only Lance's personal agent, not the producer of "Sin City", but Cole still attended as the "director's agent", just to increase the tacit understanding between them, and the work "Sin City" is obviously of great significance.

-- The new official took office three times, and Cole took over the position of Lance's agent, so naturally he also needed to be more enthusiastic.

When conceiving the cast of "Sin City", Lance's first reference was the previous version, and it must be admitted that most of the actors Robert Rodriguez chose for "Sin City" were quite appropriate, and Lance only intended to make a small number of changes.

For example, Kate Beckinsale has been brought in, and Eva Green is about to be brought in, and Lance also intends to replace Dai Mu Qingwen with Lucy Liu...... These are enough changes to add color to the film, and at the same time, they can also inject different colors into the film according to Lance's own ideas.

But the problem is that the "Sin City" in the previous life has Quentin, the golden sign of independent films, coupled with the operation of the Weinstein brothers, even if the style of the work is bold and almost subverts the pre-existing visual effects style, there are still a large number of stalwarts who are willing to nod and join.

In the cast of "Sin City", there are no real top big names, but they are all actors who have a certain foundation in the circle and have relatively distinctive characteristics. Bruce Willis, Mickey Rourke, Elijah-Wood, Benicio del Toro, Rosario-Dawson, Jessica Alba, and many more.

Inviting such a large number of stalwart actors to star, not to mention whether Lance's appeal is enough, the salary is bound to be stretched. The charm of Quentin in the previous life was enough to make everyone willingly reduce their salary, but what about Lance?

Now Lance is just a "rookie director" with two works - of course, both works are good, one won three Oscars, and the other earned 200 million at the North American box office, which is indeed not to be ignored, but it is still not enough, because behind Lance is Chaos Pictures - an independent film company with no background.

What Lance can rely on is Frank Miller's name, as well as the dailies that have been filmed, and his own persuasion. But this was still a little insufficient for Lance, so he used a little help.

"So, do you already have a plan for your next work?" Cole opened his mouth to speak, attracting Lance's stunned gaze - the cast of "Sin City" has not yet been decided, so the planning of the next work begins? Cole also felt that the way he asked questions was not quite right, and he couldn't help but chuckle, "I mean, I can find some suitable projects for you first, according to your preferences, you know, every day in Hollywood is different." ”

Let's be honest, hundreds of new projects pop up every day in Hollywood, and it's a long time from the time an idea is built to the time it actually starts. Just like the casting process of "Operation Smith", there will be many variables, and those top agents will have as many resources as possible to serve their artists.

That's what Cole meant.

"I'm not sure how you performed in 'Killing with a Knife,' but ...... An actor is still a director, or a producer or screenwriter, if you have a general direction, you can tell me in advance. Cole further explained.

Lance tucked his jaw, "It's like Sin City." "That's a good thing, at least in the future, Lance doesn't need to think about where the next project is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and there are projects like "The Day After Tomorrow", "Murder by a Knife", and "Sin City", and Cole can also help fight for it.

Cole smiled and agreed, "It's like Sin City." ”

It's a step forward to go it all out and have a partner, but Lance doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of Diorama Pictures, so let's take our time. "We'll get to that point, but let's focus on the actor auditions today." Lance said in a light-hearted tone, "So, Mickey Locke ......"

"It's a tricky choice." Cole sighed, "I really admire your courage, maybe that's why you can become a director, I can only be an agent." (To be continued.) )
