Packing up her shooting gear, Jody took off her helmet and prepared to return home to catch today's news.

A girl suddenly came over and asked, "Are you a journalist?" ”

Jody looked at her familiarity, thought about it carefully, and remembered that when she was filming Martin and Annie, she had met Annie's crew, and she seemed to be an actor.

"Something," she asked. ”

Laura said: "I'm an actor and I know a lot of news in the circle, how can I contact you? ”

Jody took out his business card and handed it to her: "Call the phone above, and I will pay you something depending on the newsworthiness." ”

This is the default rule of the industry, and Laura understands it, so she put away her business card and walked towards a car where there were also paparazzi.

Laura collected the contact information of more than a dozen entertainment notes and paparazzi in one go.

I returned to the Hilton Hotel where I was staying and waited for more than two hours before Anne returned.

Her steps were brisk, her face was full of spring breeze, she kicked off her high heels when she entered the door, and couldn't help but spin and dance, and her mood was so good that she was about to explode.

Laura reminded: "Don't be happy too soon, he's not a boyfriend yet." ”

These words made Anne stop, her smile dissipated, and a little sadness appeared between her brows: "I thought he would confess to me today." ”

Laura analyzed: "You gave too little response? He feels uncertain and afraid of failure? ”

Anne came over and sat on the sofa, clasping her knees with her hands, very helpless: "I have given a lot of responses, and they are more obvious." ”

"He might want to wait for a little bit more certainty," Laura said. ”

"I can't wait long, can I?" Anne worried: "After the filming of this film, I will go back to New York and not stabilize the relationship...... There are too many temptations in Hollywood, especially for high-quality stocks like him. ”

Laura nodded: "Yes, people are very good-looking, the future is promising, and the only flaw is not a flaw, and it can bring tens of millions of dollars in investment." ”

She was going to be an assistant to Anne, so she was anxious about Anne's urgency: "Since you met, Anne, why didn't you catch it earlier?" ”

Anne looked at her: "What do you mean......"

Laura said: "He is afraid of failing to confess, you can take the initiative, such as you confess to him." ”

"Isn't that good?" Anne hesitated.

Laura asked, "Do you want to see him snatched away by another woman?" ”

Anne recalls a scene in the car.

Now Martin is a potential stock that not many people are aware of, and when he really wants to show his edge......

Laura took out a stack of business cards: "You asked me to ask for the reporter's contact information, I thought you were going to have a confession ceremony." ”

Anne nodded slowly, remembered Maha's advice, took out her mobile phone and came to the balcony and called the agent Maha.

"I can't make decisions for you for this kind of thing." Maha said it nicely, but in fact, the tendency is more obvious: "He is generally optimistic about the future, and the key point is that he can find funds to participate in the platter, which is not something that ordinary stars can do." ”

Anne made up her mind: "I have collected the contact details of some entertainment media. ”

Maha praised: "Very good, you are improving." She advised: "The news of you and Martin attending the event has already appeared on the Internet, wait for a while, wait for the next wave to launch." ”

Anne understood, "I see. ”

…………

There are eyes across the mountain and Martin's related news, and then appeared in the media on a large scale, the wax museum has not yet been lowered, Anne has a princess diary 2 big sale this year, and the attention caused by the two together can easily achieve 1+1 greater than 2.

Entertainment Weekly and The Hollywood Reporter also published news related to the eyes of the mountain.

The 30-second teaser, which was shorter than the promotional event, has also entered some TV stations.

Martin would run the studio every day, working with the crew's publicity staff and Warner Bros. publicity department to develop unconventional publicity plans.

Television, teasers, posters, and outdoor advertisements are all examples of publicity.

This time, there are no Paris and Kardashian to fry, but there are also a lot of things that can be hyped.

Martin can make a mess when he actually does it, but he is very good at coming up with bad ideas.

The crew and Warner Bros. professionals were able to turn Martin's ideas into practical solutions.

In December, Warner Bros. held a new round of viewing parties for Youyan Mountain, and in addition to the company's internal personnel, some theater managers were also invited.

The vast majority of people believe that the quality and market response of this film will be better than that of the Horror Wax Museum.

Warner Bros. is also investing in promotional resources, such as its own films.

The patch ad with eyes across the mountain appears in the opening commercial of "Ocean's Twelve".

When later films such as "Alexander the Great" and "Ghost Signal" were released, there were also related patch advertisements.

On a brand new Monday, Martin arrived at the WMA, and the agent Thomas was waiting in the lobby on the first floor.

Thomas breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Martin, as Martin's first brokerage contract had expired and he could choose to sign with any company or agent.

Under normal circumstances, after the one-year rookie contract expires, the agency will take the initiative to ask for a renewal, because there is nothing to do in Hollywood in one year, and there will not be much development.

There are very few like Martin.

Thomas hurriedly greeted him: "Let's go upstairs?" ”

Martin nodded: "Go upstairs, sign the contract early, you can rest assured." ”

Thomas smiled lightly: "I'm most at ease with you, don't forget that we are golden partners." ”

The two went upstairs to the signing office, where Martin found that the person who signed the contract on behalf of the WMA turned out to be senior partner Jim Witt.

The latter shook Martin's hand: "A year flies by so fast, and we are about to start a new collaboration. ”

Martin responded with a smile: "Without the help of the company, there would be no me now." ”

Jim Witt said directly: "After signing a new brokerage contract, Martin, you will be a new person that the WMA focuses on. ”

"We look forward to working together more closely and happily," Martin said. ”

An assistant brought in three copies of the brokerage contract.

"The Screen Actors Guild has reviewed the contract and endorsed it. ”

This is a necessary procedure.

Martin sat at his desk, read the terms of the contract carefully, and signed it.

According to the regulations, brokerage contracts can only be signed for a maximum of three years, and the brokerage company's commission is only 10% at most.

Not only the salary, but also the advertising endorsement, post-production sharing and portrait rights sharing, etc.

Of course, the client's investment income is not one of them.

Martin didn't ask for more qualifications, signing a top-tier contract of three years and 10 percent.

After signing the contract, the WMA sent a copy to the actors' union for filing.

Jim Witt shakes Martin's hand.

There were also assistants who came to take pictures.

Thomas's heart was finally put back in his stomach.

Jim Witt said a few more words of encouragement and quickly left the office.

Pushing the assistant away, Thomas closed the door and spoke to Martin: "Yesterday I met Maha Darkhill from CAA. ”

Martin was familiar with the name.

Thomas explained: "Anne Hathaway's agent, aren't you chasing Anne? She approached me and discussed how you can promote the publicity after you are together. ”

"We're not together yet," Martin said. ”

Thomas has been focusing lately: "Sooner or later. He further said: "It's hard to say in the long term that you really want to be together, but in the short term, it's good to attract media attention and thus expand your visibility." ”

Martin was already prepared: "You discuss with her specifically, I have no opinion on my side." ”

Thomas saw it very accurately: "Maha is looking for me, which means that Anne has no opinion, how long will it take you to take her?" ”

"I'm serious about my feelings." Martin looked very serious: "So, it takes a little time......"

Thomas knew that Martin was a man of his heart, and he didn't rush, saying on the other hand: "I said last time, I'm going to find you a pre-A-level production for an important role. ”

"Got eyebrows?" Martin said in his heart, sure enough, if you squeeze it, you can still produce oil.

This person has to put a little more pressure on him before he can really bear the weight.

Thomas took the initiative to pick up a jack of the burden from the last time Martin talked about Ridley Scott's big production: "I heard an important piece of news, Martin Scorsese and Leonardo have been in official contact with Warner Bros. ”

When Martin heard the names of the two men, he couldn't help but guess.

Thomas didn't stop: "They're working on a new project, I'm sure it's a multi-protagonist gangster film, and if Warner Bros. agrees to participate in the platter, it's a big success, and with your relationship with Louise and Warner Bros. many times, we could compete for important roles." ”

Martin asked directly: "Do you know the specifics of the project?" ”

"It should be an adapted movie, and it can be determined that it is a gangster theme." Thomas heard a lot of news: "It's only a prototype at the moment, and the screenwriter and script haven't been decided, but Scorsese's gangster theme, like Craven's horror movie, is synonymous with success." ”

Martin nodded slowly: "One of the four major directors in Hollywood, I really want to get an important role and raise my style." ”

Thomas was more direct: "Directly promote the coffee position!" ”

Martin asked, "Any other news?" ”

"It's certain it's a platter project." Thomas added: "Brad Pitt's Plan B and Paramount Pictures are also interested in participating in the platter, and Louise is ......"

Martin shook his head: "She can help me talk on Warner's side, but I can't guarantee that she will participate in the platter." ”

"Then there would be no direct voice," Thomas said. He confessed: "Scorsese has directed several recent films, all of which are produced by Graham King, who is an Englishman, and I have this information from his assistant, with whom I have a good personal relationship. ”

Martin asked again: "I remember that Plan B was a company established by Pitt and Aniston, who is responsible for the specific business?" ”

Thomas is sure of this: "Brad Pitt, Aniston is just a shareholder, regardless of the day-to-day business. ”

Martin thought for a moment and asked, "How many resources can the company use for me?" ”

Thomas said, "I'm sure I'll let Jim Witt speak for you. ”

It wasn't hard for Martin to decide: "You try to operate. ”

If you can't succeed, you have to try hard.

Thomas vows: "I will mobilize all the connections to get you a chance." ”
