Chapter 246: The Sixth Sense (New Quest Opened)
Pat Kingsley came to Charlize for two reasons this time
One is indeed to discuss with the girl about future responsibilities.
In her opinion, although Charlize lacks background and connections in Hollywood, because of luck, she met a rising director, which gave her career as an actor a dream start.
"The current box office is close to $160 million, and it looks like it has a good chance of winning the box office in '95. She can do this in her third movie debut, and Nicole must be very envious of her!"
Thinking of Nicole Kidman, who is also her own client and the wife of her biggest client, Pat Kingsley was helpless for a while.
Nicole Kidman's development in Hollywood in recent years is actually very average, although marrying Tom Cruise has brought her a high reputation, but it has not helped her acting career very much.
The movies she starred in generally had average box office results, which made most commercial big productions suspicious of her.
Even this year, the release of her role as the heroine did not make the situation much better.
After all, this is a Batman movie! The main character is always the man Wayne who wears a mask and a black cloak.
What's more, although there are a lot of box offices, compared to the high production costs, it can only be said that it is not satisfactory.
And now, the production cost is far lower, and it will soon surpass its box office.
In this case, Pat Kingsley also adjusted Charlize's priority in her client list in due course
Originally, although she felt that this beautiful and delicate girl had some potential, it would take a few years for her to break out, so she had always had a lukewarm and ordinary attitude towards her.
It can be said that it is "free-range"!
After all, Pat Kingsley has a lot of important customers in her hands.
Like Tom Cruise!
Tom Cruise!!
And Tom Cruise!!
However, the success of Katrina's role suddenly disrupted Kinsley's plans
Charlize Theron has already won the heroine of the year's blockbuster without borrowing too much help from CAA, will she still need CAA in this case?
Pat Kingsley, who is well aware of the rules of the entertainment industry, understands that the reason why CAA, as an agent company, gives people the impression of being powerful is because people think they are powerful.
This is just like the various personalities that celebrities set for themselves, they are flawless when they are not broken, but once they are broken, they are worthless.
Although Charlize's suspicion alone may not affect the CAA, it is a very bad sign for Pat Kingsley personally.
She had to be a preventer.
This is the fundamental reason why she planned a development route for Charlize to focus on awards
On the one hand, she believes that CAA has an incomparable advantage in terms of impacting awards, which can once again show her role as an agent in front of Charlize;
It's something that no one else can help.
On the other hand, it is indeed the inevitable development direction of all actresses to start hitting awards after becoming famous.
After all, in commercial blockbusters with more box office revenue, female stars mostly exist in the form of vases.
They attract attention, but they don't play the box office. This makes the income level of female celebrities much lower than that of their male counterparts.
At the same time, the careers of female stars themselves are much shorter than those of male stars, which makes them unable to wait for opportunities slowly.
Therefore, after becoming famous, it is the best way to create a golden body with glory through the Oscar by impacting the awards and using the Oscars to improve the style and value.
It can be said that the Oscar's bonus effect on actresses is far greater than that of male actors.
It is based on the above reasons that Pat Kingsley feels that Charlize will definitely accept her plan.
Because it's the only right option at the moment.
In contrast, the other purpose of the agent lady is more difficult to do.
She, or CAA, is indeed eyeing Charlotte's next movie.
Who called the results so good?
Any director who has made a North American box office champion film definitely has the potential to become a major director of commercial films.
In particular, each of Charlotte's three movies so far can be described as "explosive" at the box office, and the reputation is also good.
Such a director's movie will naturally become a ladder in the eyes of many actors.
As a brokerage company, CAA will naturally be very concerned.
What's more, Charlize Theron, an artist under his company, is also the director's girlfriend.
Brokers, who are already focusing on building relationships as one of their main jobs, will naturally not give up this opportunity to get closer to the water.
Pat Kingsley's arrival actually came with CAA expectations.
The reason why she didn't go directly to Charlotte herself was because once she was rejected, it would be difficult to turn around. On the other hand, she also thinks Charlize will be easier to deal with.
After meeting Charlotte a few times, Pat Kingsley realizes that this is not a fool.
In contrast, Charlize, who is still very young, is a good target to start with.
That's why Kinsley talked to Charlize about career planning at the beginning
It was both her job and a means of lowering Charlize's vigilance.
However, the shrewd agent lady underestimated the girl in front of her after all.
Sure, Charlize is young and inexperienced, but she's been with a master trickster for almost two years.
During this period, she has seen too many deceptions and tricks, among which there are both living people and ghosts.
In front of Charlize, who was already well-informed, Pat Kingsley's words didn't work very well.
The girl immediately saw through the agent's intentions.
She didn't say anything, though.
After all, what Pat Kingsley said to her earlier can't be said to be false, in fact, Charlotte had said something similar to her before when they were talking about Charlotte's new movie.
"Charlotte's next movie will still be a horror and supernatural theme, but the background of the era has moved to the modern city. ”
Charlize introduced it directly to his agent.
She wasn't worried about what her leak would do badly for Charlotte's new film.
One of the purposes that Charlotte would tell her was to help her find some suitable actors.
So, even if the CAA side knows about it, it doesn't really matter.
In the opinion of Charlize, who has listened to Charlotte's synopsis, the most important thing about this movie named by a man is the magical script.
And Charlotte has already registered the script with the Writers Guild.
In fact, the preliminary planning of the whole project has already begun
