Chapter 203: The Enemy of the Enemy
"Mel? Gibson accuses me of not working with you! Who does he think he is? β
Can you see that two arrogant people collide together, and the consequences are very strict, Tom? Cruise's eyes were full of anger, "I have the freedom to work with any actor, any director, any producer, and any studio, not to mention he's Mel?" Gibson, is that his agent Martin? Bob didn't stop my power either! β
"You do have that power."
Duke raised his glass to him, Tom? Cruise tilted his head and drank half a glass of champagne and said angrily, "Mel? Can Gibson think his agent is in control of the CAA and can point fingers at me? β
"Tom, you don't need to be so angry about this little thing, do you?"
It's all persuasion, but the actual effect is to add fuel to the fire, Tom? Cruise drank another half of the remaining glass of champagne, "and not only that, but he accused me of not working with a Jewish pig......"
He hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Duke, this is Mel?" Gibson's exact words. β
"It's okay." Duke smiled generously.
"We're collaborators, we're friends, Duke." Tom? Cruise seems to be very righteous, but what he says is somewhat credible, so it's only Mel? Gibson realized, "That's why I quarreled with him." β
Things are definitely not as simple as he says they are, and Duke is sure of that.
Sure enough, Tom? Cruise added, "He'...... That vulgar Aussie savage. I even said that I would only sell my face on the screen! Say I don't have any acting skills! Say I'm successful only because of my looks! β
These words clearly poked Tom? Cruise's sore spot, his face was so black that he could almost drip water, "What is he?" Duke. He's just your loser! Just a shameful loser! β
Seems to have mistaken the champagne glass in his hand for Mel? Gibson, Tom? Cruise placed the cup heavily on the small round table in front of him, making a crisp sound.
With his chin in his left hand, Duke looks directly at Tom? Cruise, looking unusually sincere, "Tom, in this world. The person I admire and respect the most is my mother. β
Tom? Cruise was a little confused, not understanding why Duke was mentioning his mother.
Duke smiled. He added, "Mother told me that words are the most powerful way to fight back!" β
"Let the best of you be in Chicago and I'm sure I'll make it. I also believe that you will succeed! Duke reminded him forcefully, "When you get the Oscar, can he still laugh?" When you walk up to Gibson with the little golden man, you can enjoy the ......"
Cruise nodded first, then frowned and said, "Braveheart is rushing for the award, will he get it?" β
"Action is the best way to fight back." Duke said lightly.
"We're going to wait for our chance." Tom? Cruise stood up, "Mel? The insult that Gibson inflicted on me, I will double it back! β
Looking at Tom? Cruise's back in the distance. Duke suddenly felt that he had come to participate in this party tonight, and he had really come to the right place. Actually harvested the enemy of an enemy.
Tom? Cruise and Mel? How can Gibson's deteriorating relationship be exploited? This is a question for Duke to ponder.
Tom leaving? Cruise's face didn't get better, the reason why he was with Mel? Gibson clashed, in addition to the other party's interference with his freedom to take films, and ridicule would only sell face, but also because he got the news from somewhere else, a year ago Nicole? When Kidman returned to Sydney. With Mel? Gibson appeared in a hotel and stayed for three hours......
This is also the night he was with Nicole? One of the reasons for the outbreak of the quarrel in Kidman.
The other side. With Mel? Gibson walked into the palm grove on the left side of the garden, Martin? Bob's face is equally ugly, CAA has Tom first? Hanks vs. Duke? Rosenberg collaborated, and then Tom? Crews teamed up with Duke, not only to show the outside world that the CAA was at odds with internal contradictions, but also to tell the whole of Hollywood that he didn't fully control the CAA at all.
This will have an impact on his prestige and status in the CAA, Martin? Bob is well aware that behind it with Ino? Martin can't get out of it, the other party has always been his strongest competitor, always plotting his position, if it really unites most people such as Pat? With a partner like Kingsley, he's in danger.
In fact, the voices questioning him have been increasing in recent years, and the most direct reason is that the leading packaging projects are always lower than expected or even fail, such as "Braveheart", no matter how sophistry he is, he can't change the fact that this film failed at the box office.
The film's North American box office has so far been less than $25 million, and the global box office is just over $73 million, not to mention generating revenue, and the producers are far from recovering their costs.
And the biggest hope for this film is the Oscars, if it can win heavyweight awards such as Best Actor, Best Director or Best Picture, it can be like last year's "The Shawshank Redemption", and achieve a turnaround in the market such as videotape and TV broadcast rights.
The Oscar is the last hope for "Braveheart", even if the follow-up market can't turn over, as long as it wins a heavyweight award, it can still be considered a success for CAA.
Bright lights, Martin? Bob and Mel? Gibson remained silent, and walked slowly forward, perhaps as the night deepened, and the whistling sea breeze blew through the trees, making a rattling sound.
On the way, they met a few actresses who accosted them, and both of them ignored their moods, and simply turned to a quiet path, and found a random bench to sit on it, so as to think about what special way they could use tonight to please the college judges present and win their future votes.
And if those old guys are on Mel? Gibson's interest is much simpler.
Martin? Bob looked at the Aussie Savage next to him, he would definitely let Mel? Gibson bent over and pouted his ass.
The sound of footsteps came from far and near, and several people walked dozens of feet away and stopped. Because a few thick palm trees obscured the view, Martin? Bob and Mel? Gibson couldn't see who was coming, only what they were saying.
"Levy ......"
It was an old voice. "Who do you prefer in the films that have already been released?"
"Old man, have you forgotten our rules?"
Hear that, Martin? Bob and Mel? Gibson's ears were pricked up, the owner of the voice they had only met at night, it was Levy, the rotating president of the college? Lawsman!
"We've had a friendship for over fifty years." It's another voice," Levy. This is only a private discussion and does not violate the rules of the Academy. β
Martin? Bob and Mel? Gibson looked at each other. Listening intently to the conversation over there, they must have discussed something Oscar-related.
Levy? Rosman's voice rang out again, "If there are no eye-catching films in the next schedule, I think 'Saving Private Ryan' and Duke? Rosenberg was the most suitable choice. β
"Don't you think he's a little younger? And he doesn't have a good reputation in the critics' circles. β
"I know that." Levy? Rollsman did not try to convince his companions. The tone is very flat, "Public opinion always criticizes us for lacking the motivation for reform, we always have to come up with something substantial, and the age record for the best director will be rewritten one day......"
Speaking of this, his voice suddenly turned to Yan SΓΉ, "Why isn't the person who rewrote it a Jewish?" β
"There's some truth to your words, Duke? Rosenberg is, after all, our own. β
The discussion over there continues, Martin? Bob and Mel? Gibson's face became unusually ugly, how powerful the Jewish power in Hollywood was. They naturally know.
Damn Jewish pigs!
Mel? Gibson cursed in a low voice, why weren't all these damn pieces killed by the Nazis?
After a few minutes, the discussion died down. Then the footsteps sounded again, and the silence in the vicinity was restored except for the sound of the wind.
"Is this the result of Warner and Fox PR?" Mel? Gibson asked.
Martin? Bob nodded, "Possibly." β
He added, "Duke? Rosenberg's ethnic predominance may bring some uncontrollable factors. β
This. Ren is Mel? Gibson couldn't deny it either, his left hand tapping slowly on his right. His brows gradually furrowed, and his eyes were full of thoughtful looks.
After half a minute, he suddenly said, "Martin, remember the Sophie I mentioned?" Marceau? β
"Sophie? Marceau? "Martin? Bob hesitated, "Be cautious about this!" β
"The Oscars are Braveheart's last chance, Duke? Rosenberg and his films are our biggest adversary! β
That name seems to have become a curse in his heart, and the trouble that the other party has created for him and the fiasco in the competition have always made Mel? Gibson can't forget it, and this is also the key to his impact on the most prestigious awards, judging from the current shape, if he wins, the best director is close at hand......
"Martin, although there is no evidence to suggest, but in the past Oscar competition, CAA must have used some special means, right?"
Martin? Bob's silence was more of a tacit acquiescence.
"Have you forgotten Duke? What is Rosenberg's loss to the project you lead? "Mel? Gibson seems to be shouting "William? Wallace, "Or is your ambition all gone?" β
"I'm thinking about concrete countermeasures." Martin? Bob's eyes lit up, "Think about how you can impress Sophie?" Marceau. β
"Did you think of it?" Mel? Gibson asked.
"Judy? Foster for the heroine of "Rapist Pear Blossom" can be with the female. Spending the night with the producer, Julia? Roberts can sleep with all the producers for "Pretty Woman", Demi? Moore can participate in the carnival party of the production of zuΓ² people for the sake of "The Love of People and Ghosts". As long as the benefits and bait are big enough, these actresses chasing fame and fortune can take off their pants and walk on the red carpet! β
Martin? Bob stood up, "I've decided to adopt your advice and we're going to meet Sophie?" Marceau. (To be continued)
