Chapter 814: It's Me

"Damn ......"

The film ends with pictures and subtitles of the life of Abagnell in real life, and the two applaud with everyone, and after a brief conversation with their peers, they leave.

Hayden accompanies Amy to New York, where Donovan, who stays in Los Angeles, recognizes them, knowing that Bergman Jr.'s Phantom Wizard project and Dance Me had had a less intense rivalry, and as one of Amy's co-agents, he realizes that it's not a good thing for this guy to be next to Baz Luhrman, the boss of the Romeo and Juliet project.

"Mr. Ruhrman, won't you attend the dinner party to be held?"

He hurriedly remedied it, sent his men to watch the two Hollywood bosses say goodbye in the parking lot, and then ran over to create a chance encounter with Bazluhrman and talk alone.

"My crew still has something to do."

Baz Luhrman knew that the other party was one of William Morris's top agents, and he may have been a breath away from it before, but ...... Who told him to take APLUS early, "Just call me Buzz." "I remember that the cat and mouse game project is a package service provided by CAA, right?" ”

"Yes, but not all, we also have artists under our umbrella, such as Amy." Donovan asked, "Did you like her performance in this movie?" ”

"I like it very much."

"That ......"

"I know what you mean, but I still need to think about it."

No matter how top the agents are, there are many who like to use kraft candy tactics, Baz Luhrman has not long moved to Hollywood, and is in the adaptation stage, and he likes to wear many hats, and his desire to control the project is particularly strong, and the pressure comes from all directions, and he doesn't want to be rashly entangled with unfamiliar agents, "Let's talk about it in detail after a while, there are about ten days before the final decision is made." ”

Presumably after the first week of the cat-and-mouse game came out, Donovan felt that there was a drama, "Amy is very cautious, she likes your modern adaptation of Juliet very much, she has been practicing Shakespeare since before she took over the filming of my life. ”

And that's where kraft candy begins? That's because Amy Adams didn't have a professional acting education and had to make up for it halfway, right? "I know that she has good line skills, and Hayden has been in touch with me a lot lately." Bazluchman sneered in his heart.

"As long as you pick her, I promise she'll put her all into the Romeo and Juliet project, which her competitors can't do, like Claire Dennis, who, as far as I know, is filming 'Imitation Love'?"

Donovan also began to take eye pills, and William Morris's intelligence also showed that Claire Dennis was the biggest threat to Amy, "Next year she also took over the role in 'Sleepless Love', and she started to play." ”

Baz Luhrman shook his head, "I don't care about this, after all, she won last year's Emmy nomination and Golden Globe Award for Best Drama Series Actress for 'My So-Called Life', which is very popular." ”

"I'll admit that she did a good job on the small screen, but the movie? Last year, she was completely overpowered by Winona Ryder and Christen Dunst in 'Little Women'. "Donovan sticks to it and doesn't let go," Amy's debut is the big screen, the starring role, and it has always been. And in terms of salary......"

"I'll think about it all, anyway, wait for my news, Donovan."

Baz Luchman said that Amy Adams had messed up both projects, and smiled and held out his hand, "I promise." ”

Soon, at noon on the 24th, he finally got the relevant box office report.

"Cat-and-mouse game six and a half million! This result includes the results of the whole day on the 23rd, the evening of the 22nd, the advance file on the afternoon of the 22nd, and the box office from the 17th, of course, the number of theaters in advance and the screening is not high. The subordinate said.

"Okay?" He asked.

"It's very good, in the movie that opened in the same period, it only lost to Toy Story 10 million, plus the continuation of the hit 007 Golden Eye, the sequel to the detective plane head and other films, the cat and mouse game can also rank fourth at the box office in the same period." The subordinate said: "Throw the 4.5 million in the casino and the 4 million in the money train very far." ”

"...... so"

"Amy Adams turned over in one fell swoop! Although she doesn't have many roles in this men's drama, she is qualified to be the heroine. ”

"Cheers!"

At the same time, Song Ya was already celebrating with the cat and mouse game crew, and due to the strong performance on the first day, Bo Wei happily made up for the publicity and cinema resources that had been deducted before, and there was still a reversal. The cat-and-mouse game won in a head-to-head duel with the casino and the money train, which made him extremely happy, the stock price of Netscape has rushed to one hundred and one, and is moving towards one hundred and two, 21 albums are selling well in the United States and Brazil, and Gray Goose vodka is sold out of stock, all good news, all good news!

"CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU, MR. APLUS."

Jared Leto, who had his long hair and short beard, raised his glass and complimented, "We made it." ”

"Hmm!"

Song Ya hugged his shoulders excitedly and shook it vigorously, "There will be more difficult publicity and distribution schedules in the future, it's all up to you." ”

In line with Jim Clark's focus on making Mark Anderson a tech hero in Netscape, Cat and Mouse discovered a long time ago that only Leto had the ability to withstand the frenzied smear of his opponents while gaining a lot of media attention, so it was only natural that he was chosen to be the focus of the cat-and-mouse project.

His agent's decision to draw a line between him and the director after Ridley Scott's backlash was appreciated by Linton and others, and now neither the producer nor the distributor will mind giving him more resources and opportunities.

The Thanksgiving holiday is coming up, and the cat-and-mouse game should be very good at the box office in the first week.

has a good personal image, no negative black material, or has not had time to create black material, and plays a romantic, handsome, woman falls as soon as she sees him, has a very high IQ, and the prodigal son turns back, the charm of the movie character can in turn affect the outside world's perception of the actor himself, Leto is now invincible.

In a word, he is going to rely on this cat and mouse game to become popular!

"The young girls love him to death."

Leto was turning his head to look at the hand that APLUS was holding his shoulder, and Linton in the distance stared at him with a smile: "Advertisers are starting to find him, I just noticed that his agent has received ten calls." The cat-and-mouse game male protagonist is too helpful for the young male star, and he will be even more popular with big brands than APLUS, high-end men's clothing, automobiles, electronics, perfumes, ....... ”

"APLUS is a black ...... after all"

Yeremov almost lost his words to expose the mystery in this, he was too happy, he was already a little too drunk, "Oh yes, that damn well-known movie critic Roger Albert took our PR benefits and started a four-star wholesale, he did give the cat and mouse game a perfect score of four stars, but at the same time, he also gave the casino four stars, and the money train has three and a half ......"

"Don't worry, the cat-and-mouse game has established itself as a commercial feature film rather than a mere biography, and we can't count on the awards season to ...... right now."

Linton was angry at the thought of awards season, "Did our Mr. Director make another statement?" ”

"Ridley Scott? The old man didn't say anything, maybe he was shut up in England hahaha! Yeremov laughed.

"Freelance writers from Variety and Empire Magazine have come along." The attachΓ© next to the two reminded alertly.

He had an old grudge against these two guys, and Linton immediately restrained his smile and began to concentrate on dealing with it with Yeremov.

"Congratulations, Mr. Linton, Mr. Yeremov......"

The two film media people with a lot of status in Hollywood first touted the cat-and-mouse game, and then the conversation changed, and sure enough, they became entangled in the editing controversy.

"Few directors can get the final editing rights, you and I know this, but you like to hide this from the public, and you always choose to stand on the director's side in the conflict between the director and the filmmaker." Yeremov complained silently.

"Writers and directors should have more creative freedom, and Hollywood's industrial assembly line is killing the art of cinema." The other side is competing against each other.

"Okay, I agree." There was no way that studios would win the discussion about art, and Linton was too lazy to debate it with the other side.

"Will you have a director's cut of the cat and mouse game in the future? I'm not referring to the kind of impostor of the Director's Cut of Blade Runner released by Warner. ”

The other side added, "Really, give Ridley a completely free director's cut, and we're excited to see what his personal version of the film will look like." ”

Linton rolled his eyes.

"We'll think about that later, okay? But don't play tricks out of context and write like we've got plans to release a director's cut or something. ”

Yeremov knew that it was time to stand up and take the blame, "And this power is not in our hands, if you want to ask, you also ask the distributor Bowei Pictures." ”

"But it's the final version of your edit, right? I've heard some gossip that the CEO of Broadway Pictures has hinted that he's not involved. The other party laughed.

"Really?" Yeremov smiled bitterly, "Well, it's time to make this matter clear......"

"Yes, it's me, I made it cut."

Unexpectedly, Linton suddenly made a 180-degree turn and took the initiative to admit it, "So what?" Isn't the finished film exciting? Or does the audience not like it? ”
