Chapter 248

Andy rogers took a big sip of coffee. The sour and astringent coffee without adding any sugar made him shiver. He looked at the sugar can on the edge of the table and his beer belly... Then put a sugar cube, which is equal to losing weight.

Looking through the newspapers and magazines on the desktop, the front page headlines of entertainment weekly are very frightening? Universal Pictures is considering adjusting its schedule to release in 2012! " Under the obvious red font, there is a row of subtitles in black font, "the cooperation negotiation with dawn Johnson has officially collapsed!"

Andy's expression is not the slightest accident. Recently, news about the "speed and passion 5" crew has been heard all the time, and it will be revealed every three or five times. The entity magazine of "Entertainment Weekly" is published once a week, so this headline is more like sorting out the news of the past week.

However, "Entertainment Weekly" is not the only media that focuses on the progress of "speed and passion 5" crew.

"'speed and passion 5 'is a three week showdown that will cost as much as five million dollars!"

"Van diesel vs. dawn Johnson? "There's him, there's no me!" dessel said

"The casting got bogged down, and there was an accident in the early shooting test. The municipal government of Rio de Janeiro refused the request for the crew's shooting schedule, and" speed and passion 5 "didn't make a good start."

"Dawn Johnson: I'm eager to join the family, but we're still negotiating."

"'speed and passion 5 'crew announced that it will continue to suspend production for another two weeks, and the shooting will be resumed in the future. Universal Pictures is silent about this."

……

These are the latest news today. It can be seen that the "speed and passion 5" crew has fallen into a deadlock, and the policy of using Lanley to divert their attention has lost its deterrent effect. After seeing through the intention of the crew, dawn Johnson began to put pressure on the crew and Huanqiu film industry through the media; At the same time, the crew's own backyard fire, trouble, neil-h-moritz is now in a dilemma.

Universal Pictures has always been bad at shooting sequels. Among the six major film companies, they have developed the least sequels - especially the ones that make money. At present, the "speed and passion" series is their only trump card, which naturally attracts people's attention. Now, Lang Meyer's attitude is the most important.

If Lang is willing to stand up for Neil, then it is certain that Donne will be replaced. After the confrontation between Donne and Neil for so long, Neil is bound to hold a stream of anger and refuse to let go easily; However, if Lang gives a word and gives dawn a green pass, Neil will not continue to insist. It is estimated that the slowest time is three days and the fastest time is 24 hours, and "speed and passion 5" can be put into shooting.

Andy habitually puts the "Los Angeles Times" at the end. For people on the east coast, the "New York Times" is the most important part of their life. Correspondingly, the "Los Angeles Times" has the supreme position on the west coast.

The front page headline of the "Los Angeles Times" today is Arnold Schwarzenegger, the outgoing governor of California, who will retire in January next year. At present, everyone is paying attention to the election of the next governor and Arnold's merits and demerits in the past seven years. The "Los Angeles Times" interviewed the tough guy movie star governor for the first time and brought relevant reports.

In addition, the news at the bottom of the front page is California's drought warning. After last year, California is likely to face the challenge of drought for the second year in a row. This has attracted the attention of the whole state of California. Naturally, the Los Angeles Times is the first to warn local residents.

Turning to the entertainment version, Andy plans to scan the titles of various sections, but his eyes fall on the headlines, and then he is stunned. "The next new member of the 'speed and passion 5' crew: Jason Statham?"

Andy carefully searched the memory in his mind. He didn't receive any news about Jason's contact with the crew, which was a bit unexpected. Jason, who has entered the action actor's field of vision by virtue of the "fateful express" series, has not made more achievements in Hollywood at present. He is even five years older than dawn. However, his athlete background, flexible skills and tough style do leave a lot of impression.

If Jason replaces dawn

After thinking about it, Andy pressed the inside button. "Nancy, you can help me find out who Jason stanson's agent is."

After hanging up the phone, Andy's brain began to work quickly. This game of chess finally came to this situation. He would never take it lightly, nor would he give up his arms. Until the last moment, he refused to let the duck fly.

In the past week, he hasn't received any news about Jason, which is a bit strange - because his eyes have been fixed on the important figures of the "speed and passion 5" crew, completely isolated from the news, either it's not worth noticing, or there's something inside. However, the report is from the Los Angeles Times, which is more and more intriguing.

"Andy, Jason is an artist in our company." About three minutes later, Andy receives a reply from his assistant Nancy Kinsley. It's really a flood that has washed the Dragon King temple. Andy laughs and relaxes his tense mood. "Who is in charge of him now?"

In the creative artist agency, there is no strict distinction between artists and resources. In other words, Andy can get all of Jason's work information without hindrance, and he does not need to be shadowy. He is the first-hand insider information; Similarly, "speed and passion 5" performance opportunities are open to all actors throughout the company..

So, when their artists become competitors? The solution is also very simple, who is more potential, who is more valuable, who is more in line with the requirements, then who on, to ensure that resources can be reasonably maximized.

Take "speed and passion 5" as an example, the creative artist agency will choose which one is more suitable for Langley and Jason. If Langley and Jason are both defeated, Andy will recommend another actor to the crew. Unless the crew signs a contract with dawn Johnson directly, they will work hard until the creative artist agency takes the role.

Of course, such a scheme is only aimed at such groundless newcomers as Langley and Jason, and those top actors are another matter.

After a few simple phone calls, Andy is at ease.

Neil did contact Jason, but it was just a smoke bomb. As a matter of fact, Jason has signed a contract with the "death squads" crew, and is about to play in this tough guy packed blockbuster. In addition, there are two other works under negotiation, so there is no need to worry about the contract.

This let Andy smell unusual breath, Neil's action began to speed up, it seems that they have decided to give up dawn.

Choosing a smoke bomb like Jason is a signal to dawn: they would rather choose Jason stanson, who is similar in style but smaller in size, than choose the best option, dawn Johnson.

This is bound to make the team behind Donne start to run quickly. Either Donne will make a quick decision, reduce the film pay, and bow his head to compromise, or Neil will not continue to wait, and then complete his signing plan step by step, refusing to continue pulling the strings. It seems that Lang is on Neil's side.

The question is, who will Neil choose to replace?

Lanli is getting closer to the "speed and passion 5" crew, almost a step away, but this position is also the most uncomfortable. At the end of the day, once dawn makes a decisive decision, Langley is likely to fall short of the finish line. It's the most disturbing feeling that you can reach but still don't hold it in your hand.

"Ding Ling Ling", the phone rings to interrupt Andy's thoughts, he answered, Nancy's voice came again, "Andy, neil-h-moritz is on line 3."

Speak of Cao Cao and he will arrive.

Andy eyes slightly a coagulation, "help me to connect." Then on the other end of the line came Neil's voice with polite laughter, "what's your mood today, a brand new day? I thought I could see you at Barry Meyer's private party at the weekend. It seems you have other better arrangements

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1)" is about to land in this year's Halloween season, which also means that the Harry Potter series, which has spanned ten years, has entered the closing stage. So, as the CEO of Warner Bros., Barry naturally had high hopes that the series of works would come to a perfect end, so he held a private party and invited the leaders of all parties to start the business operation process with a strong attitude.

"The threshold of the party is too high. Not everyone can go in. It's a pity that I didn't receive the invitation. Obviously, I missed a lot of important plays. " Andy also returned a polite smile, half jokingly said.

In fact, over the weekend, he attended another party, Scott Rudin's private party for "earth thunder" - the awarding season hasn't started yet, but the warm-up parties are coming.

Neil naturally won't take it seriously, but also joked, "don't worry, you haven't missed anything except Charlie Sheen who was drunk again and took off his pants." After a simple polite remark, Neil went straight to the subject, "how's everything with that young guy under your hand recently?"

Andy has a lot of actors under him, but there is only one young actor.

"Just like countless young people, they are waiting for his chance." Andy also gives Neil a step down.

But Andy and Neil both know that Langley is now shooting in full swing in the "crazy love" crew. Andy never deliberately hides this news, but people just don't pay attention to it. Anyone with a heart can know the relevant situation.

Neil also as don't know, chuckled out a voice, "that's the best, I think, he is our crew has been looking for the actor. Paul also told me yesterday that he can't wait to cooperate with him. "

"Wow, that's great news." It's very clear that he has to show what he has just heard, "if Lan Li knows, he will be very happy. Just, I don't know what the crew's plan is in terms of the budget of film remuneration? "
