The Greatest Showman - Chapter 249

[Two hundred and forty-seven robbery]

Andy Rogers took a big sip of coffee. The sourness without any added sugar made him shiver. He looked at the sugar bowl on the edge of the table, and then looked at his beer belly… Then put one Sugar cubes, this is equivalent to losing weight.

Looking through the newspapers and magazines on the desktop, the front page headline of “Entertainment Weekly” looked very terrifying, “‘Fast and Furious 5’ infinite extension? Universal Pictures is considering adjusting the schedule to be released in 2012!” Obvious red Below the font, there is a row of subtitles in black font, “The cooperation negotiation with Dwayne Johnson has officially collapsed!”

Andy’s expression is not at all unexpected. Recently, news about the “Fast and Furious 5” crew It’s been heard all the time, and it’s about to break the news every three or five times. The physical magazine of “Entertainment Weekly” is published once a week, so this headline is already relatively lagging behind, and it’s more like sorting out the news of the past week.

However, Entertainment Weekly isn’t the only outlet paying attention to the progress of the “Fast & Furious 5” crew.

“The ‘Fast and Furious 5’ crew is in strife, suspended for three weeks, and the loss will be as high as five million dollars!”

“Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson fight? Diesel said: there is no me without him ”

The casting was in a quagmire, and the pre-shooting test was unexpected. The city/government of Rio de Janeiro rejected the crew’s request for a filming schedule, and the ‘Fast & Furious 5’ was not good.”

“Dwayne Johnson: I desperately hope Join this big family, but we are still negotiating.”

“The ‘Fast & Furious 5’ crew announced that they will continue to be suspended for two weeks, and the restart of shooting is still in the future. Universal Pictures is silent about this.”

…

these are all It’s the latest news today. It can be seen that the “Fast and Furious 5” crew has fallen into a deadlock, and the strategy of using Renly to divert their eyes has lost the shocking effect it should have. Dwayne Johnson saw through the crew. After the intention, he began to put pressure on the crew and Universal Pictures through the media; at the same time, the crew caught fire in their own backyard, and Neil-H-Moretz was now in a dilemma.

Universal Pictures has always been bad at making sequels, and among the big six studios, they have developed the fewest sequels—especially sequels that make money.

At present, the “Fast and Furious” series is their only ace, naturally attracting much attention.

Right now, Ron Mayer’s attitude is what matters.

If Lang is willing to stand up to Neil, then Dawn’s replacement is a sure thing. After Dawn and Neil have fought for so long, Neil is bound to hold back his anger and refuse to let go easily; but if Lang lets go, give With the Dawn Green Pass, Neil will not continue to insist. It is estimated that the slowest is three days and the

fastest is 24 hours, and “Speed and Passion 5” can be put into shooting.

Andy habitually put the “Los Angeles Times” at the end. For people on the East Bank, the “New York Times” is the most important part of their lives. Correspondingly, the “Los Angeles Times” has the supremacy on the West Bank. status.

Today’s headline in the Los Angeles Times is about outgoing California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who will step down in January, with all eyes on the election of the next governor and how Arnold has spent the past seven Years of merits and demerits, the “Los Angeles Times” interviewed the tough-guy movie star Governor for the first time and brought relevant reports.

In addition, the message occupying the bottom of the front page is a drought warning for California.

After last year, California is likely to face the challenge of drought for the second year in a row.

This has caught the attention of the entire state of California, and the Los Angeles Times is naturally the first to warn local residents.

Opening the entertainment page, Andy planned to simply scan the titles of each section, but his eyes fell on the headline position, and then he was stunned, “The next new member of the ‘Fast and Furious 5’ crew: Jason-Statham?”

Andy carefully searched the memory in his mind, and it was a little surprising that he had received no news of Jason’s contact with the crew at all.

Jason, who entered the field of action actors with the “Fate Express” series, has not yet achieved more in Hollywood. He is even five years older than Dwayne, but he is an athlete, agile, and tough guy style. Made a lot of impressions.

If Jason replaces Dwayne…

After thinking about it, Andy pressed the intercom call button, “Nancy, help me check, who is Jason Statham’s agent.”

Hang up After the phone call, Andy’s brain began to run fast. This game of chess finally came to this situation. He would never take it lightly, nor would he surrender. At the last moment, he refused to let the duck that came to his mouth fly away.

It’s strange that he hasn’t heard anything about Jason in the past week – because his eyes have been fixed on the important characters of the “Fast and Furious 5” crew, completely isolated from the news, or not. It is worth noting, or there is an insider inside.

But the fact that the report came from the Los Angeles Times was all the more intriguing.

“Andy, Jason is an artist of our company.” About three minutes later, Andy received a reply from assistant Nancy-Kinsley. It was really flooded with the Dragon King Temple, and Andy chuckled lightly. When

he got up, his tense mood relaxed a little, “Who is in charge of him now?”

Inside the Creative Artists Agency, there is no strict distinction between artists and resources. In other words, An Dee has unobstructed access to all of Jason’s work information, and does not need to follow the wind, it is completely first-hand inside information; similarly, the “Fast and Furious 5” performance opportunities are also open to all actors in the entire company.

.

So what about when their artists become competitors?

The solution is also very simple. Whoever has more potential, who is more valuable, and who is more in line with the requirements, then whoever is on board to ensure that resources can be reasonably and maximized.

Taking “Fast and Furious 5” as an example, whoever is more suitable for Renly and Jason, Creative Artists Agency will choose whoever, if Renly and Jason are both unsuccessful, then Andy will recommend another actor to The crew, unless they sign Dwayne Johnson directly, they’re going to work until Creative Artists Agency landed the role.

Of course, such a plan is only aimed at newcomers like Renly and Jason who have no foundation, and those top actors are another matter.

After a few simple phone calls, Andy felt relieved.

Neil did contact Jason, but it was just a smoke bomb.

In fact, Jason has signed a contract with the “The Expendables” crew, and he is about to star in this tough-guy blockbuster. There are two other works under negotiation, so there is no need to worry about the film contract.

This made Andy smell an unusual breath, and Neil’s movements began to speed up. It seems that they have decided to give up Dawn.

Choosing a smoke bomb like Jason is sending a signal to Dwayne: they would rather choose Jason Statham with a similar style but a smaller size than Dwayne Johnson, the best option.

This is bound to make the team behind Dawn start to operate quickly, or Dawn will act decisively, reduce the salary, bow his head and compromise, otherwise Neil will not continue to wait, and then he will complete his signing plan step by step, refusing to continue to talk about it. Muscle down.

It seemed that Lang was on Neil’s side.

The question is, who will Neil choose to replace?

Renly is now getting closer and closer to the “Fast & Furious 5” crew, almost a step away, but this position is also the most uncomfortable.

At the last moment, once Dawn’s side made a decisive decision, then Renly may well fall short of the finish line.

The feeling of being within reach, but still not in the palm of your hand, is the most disturbing feeling.

“Ding bell bell”, the phone ringing interrupted Andy’s thoughts, he picked it up, and Nancy’s voice came again, “Andy, Neil-H-Moretz is on the third line.”

Said Cao Cao , Cao Cao will arrive.

Andy’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Help me pick it up.” Then Neil’s voice with a polite laughter came from the other end of the phone, “It’s a brand new day, how are you feeling today? I thought it was a weekend at Barry Mayer I can see you at my private party, so it looks like you have other better arrangements.”

“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1)” is about to land on this year’s Halloween schedule, which also means that the Harry Potter series spanning ten years has entered the final stage.

Therefore, as the CEO of Warner Bros., Barry naturally had high hopes and hoped that the series would end perfectly, so he held a private party and invited bigwigs from all sides to start the business operation process with a strong attitude.

“The threshold for the party is too high, and not everyone can enter. It’s a pity that I didn’t receive an invitation. Obviously, I missed a lot of highlights.” Andy also responded with a polite smile and said half-jokingly. .

In fact, he was at another party over the weekend, Scott Rudin’s private party to promote “The Earthquake” — awards season hasn’t kicked off yet, but the warm-up parties are already on the way. .

Neil naturally wouldn’t take it seriously, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com also joked, “Don’t worry, you have nothing but Charlie-Sheen who got drunk again and took off his pants. I missed it.” After the simple polite remarks, Neil directly cut to the theme, “That young guy under your command, is everything going well recently?”

Andy has many actors under his command, but only blue Gift one.

“It’s like countless young people are waiting for his chance.” Andy also gave Neil a step down.

But Andy and Neil both knew that Renly was now filming on “Crazy in Love”, and Andy never deliberately hid the news, it was just that people didn’t pay attention.

Anyone who cares can know about it.

Neil acted as if he didn’t know, and chuckled, “That would be great, I think he is the actor our crew has been looking for. Paul told me yesterday that he can’t wait to meet up with him. He has cooperated.”

“Wow, this is really great news.” Mingming couldn’t be more clear, and he had to pretend he just heard, “If Renly knew, he would be very happy. It’s just, I don’t know what plans the crew has in terms of the budget for the remuneration?”
