Chapter 601: Abducting Leonardo (Part I)

"No, I'm sure Leonardo DiCaprio will do it! Boss, don't look at his temperament as a little marginal, it's because there's something wrong with his hairstyle. If we change the long hair on the head to short hair, it will have a sunny temperament. The point is, he has good acting skills, and he is only eighteen years old this year! ”

Sun Ziming glared at Brian, admitting that this guy did have a vision. Delicate, handsome, with soft light-colored blonde hair, Leonardo? DiCaprio already has the potential to fascinate people, but he wants to be sunny and handsome, not melancholy and charming!

After flipping through the actors for other roles, Sun Ziming took Brian again, and Leonardo's information was thrown aside, "NO, give me your alternatives, don't think I don't know what you do." ”

Brian shrugged his shoulders regretfully, spread his hands and said, "Boss, you will regret it, Leonardo will become a superstar in the future!" ”

"So what? We make movies, and it is the script that picks the actors, not because the actors revise the script! ”

Brian, the manager of the artist department who had other ideas, reluctantly took out the information of the alternative actor, "Then he, it should meet your requirements." ”

Well, this one is good! Tom? Pete, born on December 26, 1970, is now 21 years old, 188cm tall, and was a member of the school football team in high school. After graduating from high school, Tom? Pete didn't go to college, but chose to work in a modeling agency and attend acting school in his spare time, hoping to become an actor.

Tom Pitt in the photo, tall and tough, with very powerful muscles, an angular face, two straight eyebrows, and pale green pupils in both eyes, looks very psychedelic and deep, when he laughs, his temperament is very sunny, he is the kind of sporty handsome guy!

"OK", Sun Ziming's eyes lit up, and he looked at a few photos of this handsome guy repeatedly, and the more he looked at it, the more sure he became, Tom? Pete's appearance and temperament are too suitable, and he is the most suitable person for his requirements.

"As long as his acting skills aren't too bad, it's this Tom? Peter. ”

Chris who came over to help temporarily? Columbus has been in Hollywood for many years, and he knows Brian's original intention of insisting, so he hurriedly persuaded: "NO, NO, boss, I also think Leonardo is more suitable." ”

Sun Ziming interrupted Chris in front of the two assistants, stared at his eyes and said, "Chris, you are already a big man in Hollywood!" Don't think about things that you don't need to think about anymore, OK? ”

Chris? Columbus's face turned red, and his assistant and girlfriend Sabrina was pale, and her heart was raised high, for fear that the big boss would be angry. Chris took two deep breaths before he said gratefully, "Boss, think, you." ”

Sun Tzu saw that he understood, so he smiled and said: "Chris, don't get into the horns of some things, not every director can make an excellent sequel." The box office of "Alone, home2, 3" is not much different from the first one, which has proven your strength! Straighten your chest and look at Hollywood, how many can two movies at the box office, more than 220 million in a row? Believe me, as soon as "My Fair Daddy" is released, everyone will cheer for you! ”

"Hehehehehe"

Sabrina, who was next to her, saw that Sun Ziming was not angry, and the stone in her heart fell to the ground. Although China Ming still looks at himself differently, he is now an unreachable big man, no longer the Chinese boy Arthur who had a night with him a few years ago, and only Chris is her biggest reliance.

Sun Ziming's words just now also reminded Sabrina that Chris is already a big director, and he should have his own masterpieces, and he can't always be in the shadow of the big boss. "My Fair Daddy" must succeed, and must not fail! Be sure to let Kayo Sato do his best to adapt to the role, and help Chris with all his might.

"Sabrina, Sabrina?"

"Chris? Oh, I'll go and arrange an interview right away", Sabrina quickly woke up, didn't even take the materials on the table, and promised to go out,

Sun Ziming watched Kayo Sato take the information, chased him out of the office, smiled strangely at Chris, and said narrowly: "Ready to go to the grave?" ”

"Hehe, the VIP cards of the Gold Club have been gone, and Brian is still a regular customer."

"Hehe, I'm no better than you, I don't have the urge to go to the grave anymore!"

The three of them laughed a few words, and Kayo Sato knocked on the door and came in, according to the custom of Americans: "Boss, the interview can begin." ”

I have to say, Chris? Both Columbus and Brian were pretty good assistants. Female No. 2 Xia Pei? Evans, male number two Chad? The candidates for these roles 、......, Denver all have certain acting, dancing, and singing skills, and they match the temperament of the characters, and they can almost play in their true colors.

"Well, that's all, arrange for teachers to train them. We started shooting in early July and tried to finish filming in September. ”

Chris? Columbus took the list circled by Sun Ziming, handed it to Kayo Sato, who was following behind, and said: "Let the artist agency talk to them first, and if you are willing to sign three movies, send the materials to the legal department." If you don't want to, let us know immediately, OK? ”

Seeing that Sun Ziming had no objection, Kayo Sato hurriedly said, "Ok"

Several people were stunned, Chris smiled and explained in a low voice: "Boss, before "Shawshank" was released, we also estimated that there was only 30 or 40 million box office, what was the result? If "Youth Musical" does not do well at the box office, we will make it into a TV movie and broadcast it to the TV station. ”

Cunning! But we liked it, and a few of them laughed wickedly, when Saborina knocked on the door again.

"Boss, Chris, Leonardo's agent wants to talk to you."

Well? Sun Ziming looked up at Sabrina, during the interview, neither he nor Chris showed any abnormality, how could his agent want to talk?

Chris whispered: "His agent is WMA (William?). Morris Agency), probably trying to make us popular with Leonardo. Boss, WMA is not a monolith, it may be that the agent sees his potential, and he can't get enough resources in the company, and wants to find another way. ”

"Bring him to my office, Chris, and come with me to meet him."

“OK”

Sun Ziming got up and went back to the office, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Chris, it is said that WMA's customers should be Coppola and Martin?" A big director and a big star like Scorsese, how can he even want a child star like Leonardo? ”

"CAA's strength is too strong, and now WMA has signed a large number of potential young actors, hoping that they will compete with CAA after they become famous. There is also a possibility that there are so many actors born as child stars in Hollywood, and Leonardo has the potential to be a superstar, but who can guarantee that he will become famous? Shirley? Temple has grown up, hasn't he also failed to transform? ”

There is some truth that having potential does not necessarily lead to fame, but if there is a film company that supports it, this is another matter. Leonardo? DiCaprio, as long as you meet James? Cameron, he will become the male god of the world. No, that guy is already his partner, and I don't know if he finished filming "True Lies", and he is still waiting to hire people. Lao Du and Wei Qiang are still handy, and they are really not used to changing photographers!

Thinking about the big guy, Saborina had already brought people in.

……

Leonardo's agent, Ali Emmanuel, sent Leonardo's information to the light and shadow company and brought him for an interview, without much hope of getting the role. Because the conditions do not meet the requirements on the announcement, unless the producer deliberately changes the script for him, but that is impossible.

What he wanted was an opportunity to communicate with China Ming, an opportunity to sell himself. The treatment of the behind-the-scenes personnel of the light and shadow company is famously high, and even the behind-the-scenes personnel such as the photographer can participate in the profit rewards of the film.

The current living conditions in Hollywood are too cruel, compared with the tens of millions of salaries of top stars, the second and third tier ones are only tens of thousands. A fourth-tier actor like Leonardo, who starred in the two films "Demon Fairy III" and "Alien Chase Order", only got $30,000 combined, and he got $3,000 as an agent. As for the other three, it was even worse, and they didn't even receive an advertisement last year. If it weren't for the company's guaranteed annual salary of $50,000, he would have gone to be a homeless man a long time ago.

“MR。 Ming, the current Hollywood system is unfair, and if there are no excellent supporting roles and actors, it is impossible to make a movie successful by relying on one or two stars. And how much money they only get, it's not enough to even guarantee a normal life! ……”

Sun Ziming looked at this gray-haired, 27-year-old thin man, gushed in front of him, and decisively gave him a comment - the ass decides the head! If he is not a poor little agent, he will definitely raise his hands in favor of the pyramid structure, so that the interests of big directors, big stars, and agents can be maximized.

Tired of listening to this guy's chatter, Sun Ziming turned his head to look at the delicate and thin Leonardo, the 'future' superstar, who actually looked at his own agent with a helpless gaze.

It's a little interesting, taking advantage of the fact that this agent who is not rich in social experience is taking a breath, Sun Ziming immediately gave Chris a look, "Chris, take Ali?" Mr. Emmanuel will sit in your office and I'll talk to Leonardo. ”

Ali? Emmanuel looked at Sun Ziming a little unwillingly, and finally talked to Chris? Columbus went to the next office. When the door was closed, Sun Ziming personally made a cup of West Lake Longjing for Leonardo, and said cordially: "Taste, this is really good tea, completely different from those black teas with milk." ”

Leonardo tried to take a sip, placed the teacup lightly on the coffee table, and politely thanked him: "Thank you, MR." Ming"

Sun Ziming took a sip of the fragrant but slightly bitter green tea and corrected: "NO, NO, your way of drinking is wrong." Let the hot tea stay in your mouth for a while, and after swallowing it, carefully savor its sweetness, and you will feel a taste of life. First bitter, then sweet. ”

Leonardo tried to taste it again, but he still couldn't taste the sweet taste that Sun Ziming said, but he slowly drank a cup of hot tea, and then he was a little embarrassed and said, "Sorry, I still can't taste it." ”

"It's normal, all you feel now is bitterness, and when you become a big star, you can taste the sweetness of life."

Leonardo's eyes immediately sparkled with excitement, "Sir, can I really become a big star?" ”

Sun Ziming put down the teacup, looked at the young handsome young man with a straight face, nodded lightly and shook his head, "Leonardo, you have the potential to become a superstar, but it doesn't mean that you will definitely become a superstar, do you know how to succeed?" ”

"Study hard and wait for the opportunity."

“NO”
