Because it's just at work time, there are not many guests in the quiet coffee shop, only melodious piano music floats back and forth. In a card seat near the window, Mike looks at the Jewish man opposite expectantly.
"Martin, I've done what you said." Mike seemed a little excited. "Now it's time for you to keep your promise. You promised me that you would introduce me to William Morris and give me at least two second-line actors as co management clients."
Opposite, Martin Miller is holding a cup of coffee and tasting it leisurely. He looks like he's enjoying it. He doesn't seem to hear Mike at all.
Mike curled his fingers, tapped the table and said again, "I don't have a contract with CAA now. I can join William Morris smoothly."
"No contract," Martin Miller put down his coffee cup. "To be exact, you've been terminated by CAA"
"yes." Mike didn't deny it, but added, "I was terminated by CAA to help you."
"No, no, that's not true at all." Martin Miller kept shaking his right index finger. "Please understand that everything you do is for yourself."
You're kidding. At the beginning, I just wanted to dig Murphy Stanton, but I didn't do too specific things. It was his idea to make small moves behind his back and find a private detective. It didn't have much to do with me.
Martin Miller wanted to get away from himself.
Through the incident of Natalie Portman, he can see one thing. Murphy Stanton is not easy to deal with. If he is only regarded as a simple director, it will be those who want to do something in the end.
Such a person is not sure of winning. It's better not to provoke him.
Through a lot of events, Martin Miller has seen it clearly enough.
The excitement on Mike's face disappeared little by little, "what about our agreement"
"agreement" Martin Miller's face was full of doubts, "do we have an agreement"
"you" mchor stood up, "you said you would introduce me to William Morris."
"Oh, well." Taking the coffee and tasting it slowly, Martin Miller said faintly, "I'll call the personnel department of the company. You can go to the interview at any time."
With that, he took out his cell phone and seemed really ready to make a call.
"And then," Mike was not stupid. Gradually he saw that things were not what he imagined, "what position would I get"
"I said I would introduce you to William Morris." Martin Miller made a more puzzled expression, "I'm going to call the personnel department immediately, what else do you want to do"
Mike stared at Martin Miller, "what resources do you promise to give me"
Martin Miller seems to know nothing, "what resources do I not remember?"
He shook his head. "People can't be too greedy. Any good entertainment agent, including me, starts from the mailroom."
At this point, if Mike doesn't understand that the other party doesn't intend to help him at all, all these years will be in vain.
"You despicable bastard," he pointed a finger almost to each other's forehead.
"Don't be naive, what are entertainment brokers?" Martin Miller didn't mind saying that. "Don't you know that"
super thick skin is just a ticket to the entertainment brokerage industry.
Standing in the card seat, Mike was furious, especially after the humiliation he had just suffered in CAA. His last hope was still shattered. His blood almost rushed to his head, and his white face turned red. It seemed that he could bleed at any time.
Once upon a time, Mike was ambitious and wanted to be the top agent in the circle. Just like Michael owitz before him, he once thought he had such ability, so he wanted to do everything to climb up.
However, Martin Miller's words basically mean that his last hope has been dashed. Even if there are small entertainment brokerage companies that will accept him, customers who do not have enough weight in their hands almost have to start from scratch. How long will it take to return to their previous position in CAA
although they are only one of many ordinary brokers in CAA, they also participate in the kingdom of heaven Such a huge project
regret, anger, unwillingness, jealousy, for a while, all the negative emotions poured into Mike's heart.
"You're a Jewish bastard." when people are controlled by negative emotions, they tend to lose their senses. Mike finally burst out, "you Jewish ghosts are raised by their cousins. Why didn't you die clean at the beginning? You're the source of chaos and deception in Hollywood. You should go to hell to see Satan."
Like all the Jewish people in this circle, Martin Miller stood up when he heard Mike's words, but he didn't have time to do anything or speak. A cup of fragrant coffee poured on his face.
Although the temperature was not high, some drops splashed into his eyes. Martin Miller immediately covered his face and opened his eyes for a long time. The opposite Mike had disappeared without a trace."Fu2k"
Martin Miller uttered a rude remark and yelled, "waiter, waiter"
soon, a waiter brought a towel. After a simple wipe, Martin Miller immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed the police station.
After leaving CAA, Murphy soon forgot about Mike. It was only three days later that bill rossis told that Mike was summoned by the Los Angeles police on suspicion of intentional injury, which seems to have caused some trouble.
"The victim is no stranger to you."
Turning the swivel chair back and forth, little Robert Downey had a good time, and said to Murphy, "it's your acquaintance, too."
Murphy has been drawing the opening draft of the song of ice and fire: the game of rights. Without looking up, he asked, "I know a lot of people in Hollywood, who is it in the end"
"Martin Miller from William Morris, the guy who once wanted to dig you." Picking up a carbon pencil, little Robert Downey looked at it, put it back on the penholder, and continued, "a typical dog bite."
"Bite," Murphy said, taking off a drawing board and putting on a new one, while drawing the family emblem of the stark family, "bite me to death. Hollywood lacks explosive news recently."
Robert Downey, Jr. took the previous draft, looked at it and said, "isn't it big news that Hollywood's most popular young director, instead of making a movie with high artistic content, is going to make a TV series based on fantasy novels"
he looked up at Murphy and asked, "do you really want to make a TV series"
"what's the point "Murphy shrugged," I'm not the only film director to shoot TV series, and I'm just a guest star. The first season's broadcasting effect is excellent, and if I can continue to make the second season, I will definitely change the director. "
There will be many seasons when a TV series is finished. He can't spend too much energy on it.
"Don't you think that" Robert Downey Jr. has made several meaningless gestures in succession, "is it harmful to the style of a film director"
"No." Murphy is very sure of this, "I'm not sure I'll win more supporters because of this TV series."
He then asked, "how's your audition going?"
Little Robert Downey shook his head. "They just have an intention now. The project is still far away from the start. It depends on the future."
"Call Gail next week." He offered to invite, "let's go out to sea and go fishing for sharks."
Murphy thought for a moment, "I don't have time. Next week I'm going to participate in the publicity campaign for the sale of my lost lover's CD. There are two stops in Los Angeles. I can't be absent."
With the passage of time, the attendance rate and filming times of the lost lover in the world are significantly reduced. After the global box office has increased to 465.2 million US dollars, the growth rate has become extremely slow. Due to the theme and intention of the film, many countries and regions have not introduced it.
In any case, films with this theme are sensitive in many countries, and it is almost impossible to release them in public.
Both Murphy and 20th century fox are well aware that the disappearing lover is powerless to hit the $500 million global box office, especially in North America. Apart from a few cinemas in major cities, most of the mainstream commercial cinemas have basically gone out of business.
After entering the new century, the window period of Hollywood movies is getting shorter and shorter. Most movies will launch VCD immediately after their short journey of cinema. Just like before, they are now in the golden age of VCD.
Selling CDs also requires publicity. The best way is to add shooting gags and the so-called director's editing version to the CDs to attract fans' attention with fresh content.
The lost lover's CD-ROM is no exception. It's divided into $19.9 and $29.9 ordinary and luxury clothes. They all add fresh scenes correspondingly, especially the length of the v-movie, which is more than three hours.
Only in this way can the audience who have just seen the film pay for it.
This is the most common and effective method used by Hollywood studios.
In the first week of its launch, V sold quite well. Although it can't compare with movies such as deadman or spider man, it also gained more than $45 million. In the following week, nearly $20 million came in. It's not too much to describe the market performance of this movie as a big sale.
At the same time, Murphy also completed the song of ice and fire: game script modification, Sketchpad drawing and lens segmentation of rights. Together with 20th century fox, Murphy is ready to officially launch the series. It's not finished yet.
