Mark's head flashed, and he suddenly understood, and turned his head to look at the other people in the conference room, and the bitterness on the tip of his tongue swelled - these people in front of him were like hyenas, eager to come up and get a piece of the pie, Ben was fired from the "Sin City" crew, which also meant that their artists had won the opportunity.

The resources of innovative artist agencies are shared, and the advantage is that the resources available to each artist will be maximized, which also ensures that their artists can continue to find jobs; But the disadvantage is that if one person is left behind, there are countless others who can continue to be substituted to ensure that the interests of the company will not be harmed.

For example, now.

Mark realizes that even if he and Terrance want to take a breath, even if Lance doesn't come up with the cast list, the others won't let go of this opportunity. In the bundle sale, this is not qualified, it doesn't matter, there are countless artists in the innovative artist agency who can be replaced. That's why Roland was present at this meeting - personal interests must be sacrificed in the face of corporate interests.

What's even more terrifying is that Lance took the first step, handed in the list of replacement actors in advance, slapped a red date, and smoothly completed the exchange of interests, almost giving the innovative artist agency a chance to get angry.

"I'm going to give him a condition he can't refuse." It's Don Vito Corleone's famous line, and now Mark thinks of Lance in his mind. The cold rushed from the soles of your feet to the top of your head.

"What do you think of these four alternates?" Terrance's voice interrupted Mark's thoughts, and he jerked his head up, and he made a conclusion about Ben's expulsion in just a few words, and immediately began to discuss the successor, and the change during this period was really too quick and too cold-blooded.

But then Mark drooped his shoulders. Because he knows very well that this is Hollywood. It's not just the law of the jungle, even family, friendship and love can be exploited, and a slight negligence can lead to hell from heaven to hell. Ben missed the "Sin City", which is a foregone conclusion; And Ben must swallow this dumb loss, which has also become a foregone conclusion.

"Hugh Jackman?" Roland's tail note rose slightly, and he chuckled, "His ambition is really not small. ”

Thanks to the excellent results of the "X-Men" series, Hugh now has a certain appeal. Even hotter than Bruce Willis. If Hugh joins "Sin City", it is bound to become the biggest attraction of the crew. That's why Roland said this.

"Hugh is rehearsing on Broadway right now, and he's signed until next summer, and there's no way to get out until then." Naturally, Hugh is one of Hugh's current prime brokers.

Roland raised his eyes, "Or 'the boy from Oz'?" "The production had not long ago won Hugh a Tony Award, the highest award for American theatre, and after receiving an affirmative reply, Roland nodded, "Someone else's words." Any thoughts? ”

After getting Roland's double affirmation, everyone finally opened the conversation, "Daniel is now filming a thriller, but it is about to be completed." Next he will audition for a TV series. Of course, it would be great to be able to participate in 'Sin City', and there is no problem with his schedule. And I think. His temperament is also very much in line with Lancelot's requirements. ”

Roland frowned slightly and looked at Terrance, who quickly explained. "The one who plays Angelina's boyfriend in 'Tomb Raider.'" Roland suddenly realized, Daniel-Craig (Daniel-Craig), an actor from across the Atlantic, this is also an actor who is currently more optimistic about the innovative artist agency, Roland nodded, "His temperament does meet the requirements." ”

"But when it comes to temperament, I think Mads-Mikkelsen is a better fit." A voice came from the other side, and Mark forced himself to clear his clutter and return to today's meeting, a pack of hyenas tearing at his prey, at least not so long ago, and he had to calm himself down and find a solution. The person on the other side seemed to realize everyone's unfamiliarity with his proposed candidate, and then took the initiative to explain, "He played Tristan in 'King Arthur', a Dane, with a cold and rough temperament, some ascetic/lustful style, some evil between his eyebrows, and most importantly, his acting skills are very solid, and he is from drama." This is completely in line with Lancelot's preference for actors, just like Michael Fassbender. ”

Before you know it, Lance's preference for actors has begun to spread in Hollywood circles, and even Michael has attracted a lot of attention.

"Lancelot came up with this list because all four actors fit his bill." Another retorted, "In my opinion, Cliff is the one who fits best." Not only because Cliff was born at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and is an alumnus of Lancelot, there is absolutely no problem with his acting skills; And his current prospects are also the best. ”

Everyone knows who this Cliff is, Cliff Owen.

Cliff, a British actor, has outstanding acting skills, has been polished in London's West End for many years, and this year he starred in "Stealing Hearts", and played against Jude Law, Natalie Portman, and Julia Roberts, and became the favorite for Best Supporting Actor in this year's awards season. On top of that, he's currently the subject of an innovative artist agency, starring him in "King Arthur" – albeit a flop.

Roland's right fingertips tapped lightly on the table, the last time he went to Chaos Pictures with Terrance to negotiate for the cast of "Kill with a Knife", that day he gave the initiative to Terrance, and his impression of Lance was more of wisdom. But today, it seems that Lance is not only smart, but also has a very good grasp of the whole situation, and at the same time makes very bold decisions.

The four actors listed by Lance first meet the requirements of Dwight's role, and secondly, their acting skills are very solid, and they are also actors who are currently on the rise. Suffice it to say, replacing Ben Affleck with any of the four of them is a good choice for Sin City, and more importantly - it's not a bundle, but an actor selected by Lance himself.

If it weren't for Roland's knowledge that the cause of this incident was Ben's mistake, he would almost have suspected that this qiē was a trap deliberately dug by Lance.

I have to admit that the four candidates listed by Lance have no reason to refute and no need to refute by the innovative artist agency. "Let Irving and Mikkelsen go over and audition, and if you can, try to get Irving to sign." Roland gathered his thoughts and made a decision.

Mark looked up in dismay, before he could come up with a solution, the matter had already settled.

The tense atmosphere in the conference room quickly eased, and although there was competition within the company, most of it was healthy competition. Take Ben Affleck as an example, although Mark is Ben's agent, the quality of this job is not directly linked to Mark's remuneration, which is different from other companies - the other four major Hollywood agencies are all a turnip and a pit, a job gets a 10% commission, and the amount of work and quality of the artist will be directly linked to the agent's income. Therefore, within the innovative artist agency, there is no need to fight for the blood, everyone cooperates with each other and benefits together.

Mark is only so angry because of his personal relationship with Ben.

At Roland's signal, everyone left one after another, but Mark and Terrance were left behind, "You know, your actions today have damaged the company's image. Without any going around in circles, a word made Mark's boiling blood directly cool.

If today's innovative artist company intends to teach Chaos Pictures a lesson, then today's move by Mark and Ben will not only not be blamed, but on the contrary, it will further stimulate the company's public relations department, and then make Chaos Pictures suffer a dumb loss; But now that the innovative artist agency intends to continue the collaboration, Mark and Ben's move means ...... Not only do they break their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, but they may also have to come to the door to apologize.

Roland shook his head slightly, "Mark, you're not a rookie who has just joined the company, I hope there is no need for a second discussion of such an issue." As he spoke, Roland also glanced at Terrence, who was standing next to him, "And you too, haven't you noticed how good Lancelot's reflexes and coping skills are behind this incident?" He's definitely not an easy guy to deal with. We're only going to get more and more chances to play him in the future. ”

Could it be that in the open and secret battle between Chaos Pictures and Diora Pictures, Roland is optimistic about Lance? Both Terrance and Mark's thoughts began to churn in their heads.

Roland just nodded lightly and didn't go any further, he knew that Mark and Terrance were smart people, and such a reproach was enough, "The next part of the media needs to be dealt with." I heard that Ben was also interviewed? Now that Ben has been fired, it's up to us how to get things back. In this case, we owe Lancelot...... "at least on the surface, as for what the truth is, they can know it in their hearts," so we have to deal with the media affairs and show our sincerity. ”

With the status of an innovative artist agency, it is absolutely impossible to come to the door and apologize to Lance. However, it is still necessary to deal with public relations issues and show their sincerity. What's more, even regardless of Chaos Pictures' ideas, innovative artist agencies must avoid affecting their own corporate image, so PR is a necessary job.

After saying that, Roland left directly, but Mark's cheeks were hot, although Roland didn't scold him, but the shame almost suffocated him. To make matters worse, he couldn't vent it, he could only swallow his anger - aggrieved and angry. (To be continued.) )
