Chapter 653: I Never Expected
"In any case, the relationship between Director Charlotte and Ms. Foster is complicated!"
Jenny sighed.
"Yes. ”
Mr. Broker nodded,
"There are few people who can explain this matter clearly except for the parties involved, so you better stay away. ”
"That's nature. ”
Jenny said angrily,
"I'm not a fool!"
"That's not for sure!"
Mr. Agent said angry words seriously,
"What I'm going to say next, it's time to test your IQ, you must listen carefully. ”
"Please!"
Jenny looked at Mr. Agent unconvinced, looking deaf.
"It's something that's been said before!"
Mr. Agent pointed to Jenny first,
"We've said before that from a publicity point of view, a lot of commercial movies will give birth to a lot of fake couples during the filming process, right?"
"Yes. ”
Jenny nodded.
- Before Jenny entered the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean", they did discuss whether to find a male star as a temporary boyfriend to gain popularity.
Jenny didn't like it very much, but she didn't intend to refuse if it was necessary.
It's just that considering that in the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean", there is no other suitable candidate except for Johnny Depp, a famous actor.
- Although Phoenix Reyton has excellent acting skills, in terms of fame, he is a newcomer like Jenny, and he can't help Jenny.
- As for Depp, he's married! If you get involved with him, it's not a scandal but a scandal, which is not good for Jenny as a newcomer.
In short, Mr. Broker has basically abandoned this plan before.
And now that he is bringing up the old things again, it is obvious that things have made new progress-
"Actually, in the final analysis, it's because director Charlotte's appeal is too strong, and even the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" has been concerned by the media!"
Mr. Broker explained,
"Generally speaking, those who can play this role should be big stars. But the reality is that we don't have to dwell on its weirdness — the point is, because of this attention, both you and Phoenix Rayton went viral before the movie was released. ”
"You mean?"
"Although it hasn't reached the level of being a real star, the two of you are no longer nobodies now. ”
Mr. Broker continued,
"In this case, although you don't have a good relationship with a famous male star, if you two huddle together to keep warm, you can actually get a lot of extra attention. ”
"Really?"
Jenny looked incredulous.
After all, Mr. Agent's current words are diametrically opposed to what they discussed before, and it's no wonder Jenny doesn't believe it.
And Mr. Broker also understood, and he tried to explain,
"It was really my mistake in expectation, I underestimated the ability and influence of director Charlotte, so I didn't expect this to happen. However, it is also beneficial for you to do so, at least, there is equality between the two of you. ”
"Equality!?"
Jenny reacted.
- The plan mentioned by Mr. Agent before, one of the reasons why Jenny dislikes it is that if she wants to catch up with a more famous male star, then as an equivalent exchange, Jenny will have to pay the price.
- For Jenny at the moment, this price can only be her own body.
- During the period of camouflage relationship, Jenny has bad luck and has to act as the other party's plaything......
Although Jenny is not really the kind of old-fashioned girl who will wear chastity rings, she is still somewhat mentally clean, so she is naturally unwilling.
However, according to Mr. Agent's current statement, if she and Phoenix Rayton pretend to be a couple, the two are equal.
- Everyone helps each other, and Jenny naturally doesn't have to pay an extra price.
These words made Jenny feel a lot more comfortable, and also made her willing to listen to the next words of Mr. Agent-
"From our own point of view, it is advantageous to work with each other. ”
Mr. Broker continued,
"And Pirates of the Caribbean, as a commercial blockbuster, generally needs that – so I specifically consulted with Disney and Ghost Studios about it. ”
"What do they say?"
"The people at Disney said that they only looked forward to this movie by Charlotte, and as for the Ghost Party Studios...... Their words are ambiguous. ”
"What do you mean?"
"They said there would be publicity, but only publicity. ”
Mr. Broker frowned and said,
This means that director Charlotte may not really want to create a fake couple. ”
"Isn't that great?"
Jenny was relieved,
"It's a good thing not to have to live under the pressure of lying for a long time. ”
"To your spirit, perhaps. However, for your income, it may not be—"
Mr. Broker had a wry smile on his face,
"According to my plan, if you and Phoenix Reyton can become a couple, whether it's true or not, I can use this relationship to increase your two salaries in the sequel, so as to bite Johnny Depp's salary, but if you don't have this relationship......"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to get paid much in the sequel, can I?"
Jenny finally understood what Mr. Agent meant, but she didn't care.
It's not that she doesn't care about money, but—
"I think you're probably ideal!"
"What do you mean?"
Mr. Agent's face showed a suspicious expression,
"Did you find something wrong?"
"It's easy!"
Jenny shrugged,
"That Mr. Philip Bierman from Disney is already hinting at the three of us that we are going to talk about the salary for the next two sequels!"
"What!?"
Now, Mr. Agent, who has always been confident, finally couldn't hide his surprise.
"Now that the filming of the movie is not finished, let's talk about the sequel? Or just talk about two sequels!?"
"Didn't expect that, did you?"
Seeing the deflated expression on the face of Mr. Agent, who has always been a stinky fart, Jenny felt very happy.
She smiled and said,
"When I came to you this time, I originally meant to talk about it, but I never had time to say it. And those calculations of yours ......"
Jenny shrugged.
And at this time, Mr. Agent couldn't care about Jenny's little ridicule,
"It's a big gamble to sign a three-film contract right now, which means that if the first film succeeds or fails, you'll have to invest in the cost of the trilogy after that – if it succeeds, it's a huge cost saver, but if it fails, it means a lot of losses. ”
Mr. Broker tapped his fingers quickly,
"Disney has never been very successful in the field of live-action movies before, but this time they dared to play so big, could it be that Charlotte Booth gave them the courage?"
At this time, he remembered a small piece of gossip he heard through Disney's internal connections......
