The Greatest Showman - Chapter 232

[231 Behind-the-scenes Game]

Dwayne-Johnson felt as if a volcano was erupting in his chest, and the irritable emotions continued to erupt, like a beast trapped in a cage, rampaging, but hitting walls on all sides, the kind of anger that could not be vented almost To explode.

So, he paced back and forth in the office anxiously, an office that can accommodate at least thirty people for meetings, but his strong and tall body almost filled the entire office, and the terrifying deterrent power overflowed everywhere. , as if you only need to shake your body at will, the entire space will be dismantled into pieces, and there is no need for language expression at all. Naturally, you can make others shut up collectively, waiting for him to give orders.

Just like the Hulk.

The same question is on everyone’s mind right now: If he gets angry, will he really tear down the office?

“Dawn!” Jake Wallace (jake-a11ae) only had time to call, and Dawn’s Cyclops-like eyes were projected over, “What? What? What do you want to say?” Dawn strode He strode to the desk and slammed his hands on the desk, Jack was startled, he could even hear the pained groaning/groaning of the solid mahogany wooden table, and leaned back involuntarily. It didn’t help, Dawn’s saliva had splashed all over his face.

“Calm down? You still want me to calm down? God damn it, don’t you have anything else to say besides this sentence?” Dawn’s anger finally found an outlet, “You’re not the top broker in the industry. Don’t you even think about the creative artist agency? Aren’t you strategizing and resourceful? Then it’s time for you to show it! You go and tell Universal Pictures now, I he/mo/place For three and a half million dollars! No, I want four million, four million to the hell! You give me his/m/fuck right now! Tell them I’m ready to shoot at any time, I’ve done Get ready! Quick, go!”

Dawn’s thunderous rage made the whole office silent, except for Jack, his assistant, Dawn’s assistant, Dawn’s manager, all shut their mouths, Even the sound of breathing seemed to disappear.

“Calm down? Fuck your/mom’s calmness! Would you calm down if I told you/your mother now? Ah? Would you?” Dwayne’s anger still didn’t stop, “The ‘New York Times’ first, then Damn reporter swears that stinky boy will be in! That’s ‘The New York Times’! ‘New York-His/Fuck-Times’! And then ‘Vanity Fair’! Now even ‘The Hollywood Reporter’ It’s confirmed!”

Dawn’s bloodshot eyes swooped down, staring at Jack’s eyes, “Tell me, if you can’t even believe the ‘Hollywood Reporter’ news, then what should we believe? Ahhh Believe in Jack-dog/shit-Wallace? Are you still making me wait? Until when? Wait until the opportunity is taken? Did you see the Paul Walker interview? Did he put the chrysanthemum/flower Sold to that little bastard who didn’t even know his name? Vin Diesel, and Vin Diesel, he must be that bastard/ball bitch! He’s that bastard/ball bitch/bitch!”

Breathing heavily, Dwayne forced himself to calm down. After his anger reached the extreme, he finally regained a little reason, and temporarily suppressed his voice, “I heard that Steven Spielberg found it himself. Ron-Meyer, is this true?”

Ron-Meyer is the CEO of Universal Pictures, Steven and Ron have a close personal relationship, and when DreamWorks split up, the first buyer It’s actually Universal Pictures. If Steven goes out and endorses Renly, then the game doesn’t need to be played, and the game can be declared over in advance.

“Dawn.” Jack resisted the urge to raise his hand to wipe the saliva on his face, and said calmly, “This is impossible.” He continued to explain calmly.

“What is Steven’s identity, what is his status; and what is Renly’s role? Did you see that in the past few months, Steven has made any public remarks about Renly? It was just for the TV series. After the end of the TV series, they have nothing to do, Renly is just one of the thousands of actors. What’s more, even though Steven and Renly have a good relationship, Steven and Renly have a good relationship. How could Wen take the initiative to find Lang for a third supporting role? Isn’t this debt of love too light?”

Anyone who is willing to calm down and think will soon discover the nonsense of these rumors. But Dawn was always too urgent, too earnest, and too impulsive; fortunately, Dawn’s manager was a guy who was rational enough to constantly advise Dawn, otherwise things would be even more troublesome.

“Then what if Steven did?” Dawn was still insisting, but his words softened, “otherwise, why did the ‘New York Times’ and ‘The Hollywood Reporter’ say that, like that The little guy has already decided to enter the crew.”

“Dawn, these reports are just speculation, they didn’t give exact reports, they just said that the current situation of Renly looks good, and the crew is also very satisfied with him. Seeing Dawn wanting to speak again, Jack quickly squeezed his hand to soothe Dawn’s emotions, “I know, Paul, Fan, they all expressed positive remarks. But, this is what Neil wants you to see Yes , that’s what Universal Pictures wants you to see.”

Dawn finally calmed down, but Jack didn’t have time to let go, and said while the iron was hot, “Now, it’s the most critical moment. You know, why ‘The New York Times’ And ‘The Hollywood Reporter’ on this? And the focus is on Renly? And ‘Vanity Fair’? Like you said, he’s just a nobody, and if it wasn’t for this one, we’d I’ve never heard of this name before, so why did all the media suddenly notice him?”

As a senior agent of William Morris Agency, Jack really had a set of ideas, and in a blink of an eye, he was furious. En fell into deep thought, “All this proves that Universal Pictures is deliberately behind the scenes, they just want you to panic, they want you to be afraid, and then take the initiative to back down. Think carefully, if Neil really makes a decision, use this The little guy replaces you, so what will he do? He’ll quietly sign the contract, then throw a bombshell at you, give you no time to react at all, and the crew will go back to shooting.”

Dawn After thinking about it seriously, “Five days ago, you said this, and I agree; but now, you are saying this, but the situation is different! Five days ago, there was no ‘The Hollywood Reporter’ ‘Woolen cloth!”

If Dawn is stupid, he is not. In fact, he is just impulsive, but not stupid; but if Dawn is smart, he is the typical athlete’s way of thinking. Gives a headache.

“Dawn…” Jack only had time to open his mouth, and Dawn interrupted him roughly again, “Why are you so firm? Why are you sure that all this is just a conspiracy, not a real life? In the past five days Neil, there is no news at all, are you sure things are still under your control?”

Jack took a deep breath, “Because I know it’s impossible for Renly to play.”

This is the real big news, Originally, Jack was going to say it at the beginning of today’s meeting, but Dawn was like a bull, unreasonable, and didn’t give him a chance at all. Sure enough, after saying it at this time, Dawn was stunned in place, unable to react for a while.

“I just got the news this morning that Renly has entered another production crew.” Jack continued, “It was a very small production crew, the investment might be less than $100,000, and then there were a group of new directors. , newcomers and actors join in the fun together. So the whole industry has not received any rumors. I told you a long time ago that he is the kind of artistic actor who relies on his acting skills, not an action actor, he can’t compete with you at all. ”

After saying these words, Jack finally let out a long sigh and looked at Dawn in front of him. “But, it doesn’t matter, and neither does this work. The important thing is that this work just started three days ago, do you know what that means? It means that Renly has If there is no schedule, it is impossible to join the crew of ‘Degree and Passion/Love 5’!” The

conclusion was reached, but Dawn was still not reconciled, “But…”

“No but.” This time, Jack seized the opportunity accurately and took the initiative to talk, “Dawn, do you know how precious you are now? The whole Hollywood can’t find an actor like you, maybe Your role is relatively narrow, but in action movies, no one can compete with you at all. Vin Diesel? He is a Barbie doll in front of you! Why does he keep fighting you because he can’t compete at all? You! What do I want to see? As long as there are action movies in the future, the number one choice of any company will be you, and all scripts must wait for you to choose before others!”

The magnificent picture depicted by Jack, Let Dawn show a longing look.

“Now, this time is our chance! 3.5 million! Trust me, you are worth the price! Universal Pictures knows in their hearts, they don’t lack this 1.5 million! Just want to suppress you The arrogance! But, we can’t miss this opportunity, because they are more anxious than us.”

Jack said loudly, “As long as we persevere a little longer, a little longer, at most half a month, believe me, you can We have won the ‘Degree and Passion / Passion 5’ crew. At that time, if other action movies come to you to star in, our salary will be opened directly to 10 million! Really gain a firm foothold in the ranks of first-line actors!”

In Hollywood, except for two In addition to the benchmark of 10 million clubs, 10 million is another threshold after deducting dividends. This value is not high, after all, there are 12 million and 15 million on it; but as long as you enter the level of 10 million, your status will change dramatically, and it will truly become a “first line”.

Dawn looked at Jack with burning eyes, was silent for a long time, and finally nodded, “I’ll trust you again!”8
