"The global box office of 'Life and Death' is close to $300 million."

In one of the CAA offices, Martin? Bob seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be saying to Lovett on the other side, "The increase in the box office of the film will only make Warner Bros. pay more attention to Duke?" Rosenberg's value, lower our weight. ”

He tapped lightly on the table and pondered, "Duke? Rosenberg left Fox, but hugged the thigh of Warner Bros., Warner Bros. will not watch their investment fail, we must not use too many extra-rule means, otherwise we will attract Time Warner ......"

CAA has done a lot of things that are not visible, because they can create zào value, and no one in Hollywood's major companies can compare with them, but they really have to compete with one of the top three media groups in the United States...... Well, they will be picked up from the inside out, and several other major brokerage companies will inevitably fall into the ground.

"Shall we do nothing, then?" Lovett was reluctant, and his feelings about Duke could be said to be extremely complicated.

"In private, the means that should be used still have to be done, and when "Brave Death Island" is about to complete the post-production, release the news about Sean."

At that time, the cost of changing the plot or actors will be huge, and it will also remind the audience who is about to go to the movie to make comparisons, Martin? Bob had obviously calculated, "Also, we are looking for a big production zuò that will be released at the same time as "Brave Island" and completely suppress it!" ”

"What do I want you to touch James? How happened to Cameron? He asked Lovett.

"That ......" Lovett organized his language slightly, as if to weed out the indecent words in the original sentence, "Cameron said that as long as he was on the set of True Lies, CAA would not want to get involved in his project, he would rather the True Lies project be canceled than be a puppet of CAA!" ”

"A waste director with no vision!"

Martin? Can Bob imagine that, James? Cameron must have shouted these rude words in front of countless people, in the most arrogant and angry tone, "Vision will determine a person's future, and Cameron's achievements are limited to this, as long as he fails once, who in Hollywood will remember a truck driver." ”

"We need a project that can suppress Death Island." He tapped lightly on the arm of his chair.

"Tom has always been interested in 'Interview with the Vampire.'" Lovett suddenly reminded, "This was supposed to be our next package project with Twentieth Century Fox, but they put it on hold for the time being. ”

"Interview with the Vampire" ...... "Martin? Bob's percussion gradually increased, "Fox lost "Brave Island", presumably to Duke? Rosenberg must have some opinions, we can assemble a luxurious cast for "Interview with the Vampire," and this novel has a broad readership, and it can be ......"

"Lovett, contact Tom for me...... No, you go and pick him up in person. "Martin? Bob stood up directly, "I'm going to see Ovitz and Townsend?" Rothman. ”

In a café in Beverly Hills, not far from Century City, Duke put down his coffee cup and looked at Nicholas, who was sitting opposite. Cage.

Compared to the last time we met, Cage's hairline seems to have receded a lot.

The two have been talking for a while, Nicholas? Cage was still hesitating, and Duke said again, "Nikolai, this won't affect you from continuing to star in literary films!" It will not affect your pursuit of the Oscar, and if the film is successful, it can take a big step forward in your career. Think about it, in the next few years, maybe even fans of that closed country on the other side of the Pacific will know you. ”

"Hey, that's Nicholas? Cage, I just love his films. Duke spread his hands and said, "Don't you enjoy that feeling?" It's a feeling that independent films can't bring! ”

Next to Cage sat his agent, who had long been tempted by the crew's $5 million salary.

"Nikolai, it's time for us to enter the mainstream film industry." He persuaded.

Because you don't want your words to affect your cousin's decision, Sophia? Coppola hasn't spoken since he sat next to Duke, and then looked at Duke, and then looked at William Morris's agent, and understood that even if Cage doesn't make a decision now, I'm afraid it won't be long before he signs the actor's contract.

Her eyes returned to Duke, a calm-looking and introverted fellow, whether it was when he was seducing Warner Bros. into rejecting the CAA, or when persuading Nikolai to accept the role, he used the simplest and most direct method, but it was also the easiest way to impress people - fame and fortune!

Who in Hollywood can get rid of the influence of these two things? Sophia thinks she can't, and she knows neither can Duke.

"Whether it happens or not...... Cage stood up and took the initiative to stretch out his hand, "I'll do my best to give you an answer." ”

"What I want to hear is good news." Duke shook Cage's hand hard, "I'm sure John and Sophia would love to work with you too." ”

He has never been pedantic, and he is by no means a stereotypical person in Naomi's mouth, and at this time he did not hesitate to put Cage's cousin John? Schwartzman and his cousin all pulled out.

Sophia glared at Duke faintly, but said nothing.

The 'rock' studio, which coordinates the "Death Island" project, was officially established in Burbank last week, and the crew is preparing props, designing scenes, making storyboards, and selecting actors in an orderly manner. Harris has agreed to audition, and Nancy stuffs Naomi into the crew? Watts was also invited to audition.

The most difficult thing to get is the current literary and artistic young Nicholas? Cage, Duke talked to him on the phone several times, but the effect was not obvious, so he asked his agent to come out for a meeting.

If Nicholas? If Cage still refuses, then Duke will definitely not hesitate to make a substitution, Cage is just the first choice, but it is not a must.

"Are you sure you want to give up on inviting Sean altogether? Connelly? ”

After Cage left, Sophia called the waiter, changed two cups of coffee, sat down across from Duke, and said, "Aren't you going to meet him and persuade him personally?" ”

"Honey, I don't have an aura of retardation." Duke added a little sugar to his coffee, "What do you think it wasn't for Sean?" With Connally's consent, will CAA make a $10 million investment? Although he is known as the most elegant and sexy old man, we all know what kind of person he really is. ”

"Alcoholism, addiction. Drugs, domestic violence, ......" Sophia shrugged her shoulders and said that Hollywood was against Sean? Connally's consensus, "rude, impulsive, irascible, and often full of expletives." ”

"Now that he refused, he's still on the side of CAA, and we know what kind of person he is." Duke spread his hands, "Why go to him and bring shame on yourself." ”

All of Hollywood knows, Sean? Connery is a gentleman carefully packaged by CAA, and it may be more appropriate to describe him as the opposite of a gentleman.

"Sure Christopher? Can Lee surpass him? ”

Hearing Sophia's words, Duke shook his head, "Not sure. But don't forget, Connery has never been known for his acting skills, I've seen Christopher? Some of Lee's roles, his acting skills are definitely not below Connery, and he has real experiences that Connery does not have. ”

"What?" Sophia asked curiously.

"Warner has gathered some information." "At the age of 17, Lee went to Finland to fight the Soviet invasion, served in the famous British desert unit 'Ghost Patrol', fought against Nazi Germany for several years, and later joined a British special enforcement team, mainly in Nazi-occupied areas to carry out reconnaissance, espionage, and sabotage missions. After the end of World War II, he went to Yugoslavia as a spy ......"

In other words, Lee is probably the only actor in Hollywood who has actually been a secret agent, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it with blood on his hands, and the important thing is that he and Sean? Connelly, like him, has acting skills that are absolutely above the level, and there is definitely no problem in interpreting the role of an agent. ”

"This ...... It can't be fake, right? Sophia couldn't believe Duke's words.

"Warner has used some of its connections on the British side." Duke shook his head at her, "Confirm it's true." ”

"If he's willing to say yes." Sophia thought of the other side, "This is a very good publicity boo, a once real British agent playing a British agent, will definitely inspire a lot of viewers to watch." ”

"That's what Warner and I thought about."

Why Warner Bros. is willing to go to the UK to verify this information, precisely because it has huge potential value, "but now is not the time, these should be put in the most critical stage of the film's promotion, especially on the CAA side, if they release about Sean?" Connery's news, we launch a propaganda offensive about Lee, the effect will be better, Lee's fame may not be as good as him, but we can borrow Sean? Connery's name to hype. ”

"It seems that a PR position is more suitable for you," Sophia said in a faintly nasal voice, with a hint of mockery, "and not the director!" ”

"You're misleading." Duke held up a finger and shook it at Sophia, "It's all Christopher?" After Lee agreed to act, the publicity strategy formulated by Warner, I just retell. ”

"In that case,"

Seeing Duke pack up his belongings and stand up, Sophia hurriedly followed, "CAA's problem is also solved." ”

"It's just a temporary solution."

John? The character of Mason is definitely based on Christopher? Lee made some appropriate adjustments.

Feeling Sophia's hand habitually in the crook of his arm, Duke walked towards the outside of the café, "It's hard to say how it will end, we also have to be careful with CAA, they may pounce on and bite at any time." ”

Although Christopher? Lee didn't have particularly famous roles in the past, but Duke had some confidence in him, after all, the future Earl of Dooku and Saruman were extremely good, and at the level of 'British Agent', if the first 007 was the lucky one, then Christopher? Lee is completely the 'Jack Sue'! (My novel "Made in Hollywood" will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform, and there will also be a 100% lucky draw gift for everyone!)
