Chapter 640

The atmosphere in the office is a little depressing. For a year, it's like reincarnation. They come back to the same fork again and face a similar situation again. Are they planted in the same pit again? Don can't help worrying about his gains and losses. On the one hand, he wants to make a free hand, but on the other hand, he doesn't want to make the same mistake again.

"So..." dawn looked up, broke the silence in the office, looked at Jack behind his desk, and began to worry. He knew that his own irritability could not solve the problem; He also knows that things are not so simple, but reason is one thing, emotion is another, the state of mind is really difficult to calm, with the tone also uneasy up, "we just give up?"

After a month of tossing, Universal Pictures is still reluctant to let go. To be honest, this time, lanli had the upper hand for the time being. It was more difficult for dawn to pull out his teeth.

Jack didn't speak immediately. His mind was still spinning rapidly. He pondered for a moment, "if you like, we can lower the bottom line."

Last year, they tried to fight for 3.5 million yuan, but they failed and missed it. They joined the "death squads". Donne was not even the No. 3 leading role. Moreover, in terms of Sylvester Stallone's face, he had to lower his pay and play in friendship; This year, they are fighting for 3.5 million yuan again, but they are faced with the absolute strength of lanli, and their hope is slim. Are they going to make the same mistake again, and finally miss it again?

If we insist on 3.5 million, we may miss it; Or give up 3.5 million and seize the opportunity.

Dawn saw Jack's sight and was speechless for a moment. His head seemed to stop working. He once thought about whether his competitiveness would be enhanced if his film pay was reduced? But after the pay reduction, does it mean that he will never be able to go any further? Missing the "speed and passion" series, it's not easy for a pure action actor like him to make a breakthrough?

With his mouth open, the words stuck in his throat, and dawn didn't know how to choose. Then, suddenly, the door of the office is pushed hard. Dawn and Jack look at it reflexively. Then they see a head poking in, with a strange expression and an eager voice saying, "Andy Rogers is on line 3."

Andy Rogers?

Donne could not help but clench his hands into fists. That damned guy, if Andy hadn't crossed his hand, he would have joined "speed and passion 5" with 3.5 million yuan last year. Now 300 million flowers and applause in North America belong to him. How dare Andy call now?

Jack is also stunned. He and Andy are not friends, not only friends, but also enemies. So, why did Andy call all of a sudden? Are you here to spy on the military? Or disruption strategy? confuse the public? But why? Now blue Li has the upper hand, infinitely close to signing, or is Andy planning more?

Layman doesn't know, but Jack also knows as an agent. Last year, lanli took advantage of the fire and got 0.5% of the box office bonus from the "speed and passion 5" crew. Although this proportion is not much, in the case of 300 million in North America, it is only 1.5 million, and he has to pay taxes, but lanli is a real box office bonus level.

The thought of this made Jack feel a little congested.

"Jack?" The assistant raised his voice again and said, "shall I hang up? Or are you coming in? "

"Hang up, of course!" Dao en said angrily, this is also the first idea in Jack's mind. Andy is definitely the top agent in the industry, and he is very cunning. He thinks that hang up can avoid all potential crises. This is the right way. However, when an agent begins to seek stability, refuse opportunities and possibilities, it means that he will die.

"Get in!" Jack gritted his teeth, but when he said it, he was so flustered that dawn stood up and his eyes were wide open. Jack waved his hand impatiently, "I've begun to regret it. Don't disturb my mood. This is not a casual person. " Take a deep breath, take a deep breath again, Jack pressed the number three button of the landline, also pressed the hands-free button, and talked directly to the loudspeaker, "Andy Rogers, I really didn't expect to receive your call one day."

Jack pretends to be calm and tries to show his composure. Dawn walked back and forth in the same place several times, but finally forced himself to calm down and sit heavily on the sofa again.

"Because I have a deal I want to talk to you about." In the face of different competitors, Andy's attitude is quite different. He ignores the irony in Jack's words and the spines in Jack's attitude. Andy directly cuts into the theme, "dawn Johnson, Luke Evans and Jason stanson join hands to join the sequel of" speed and passion ", and lenley quits. Of course, there must be a price. I don't know, are you interested? "

There's a lot of information.

Luke Evans and Jason stanson are both actors of the innovative artists agency, and they are also tough action actors who have started to rise in recent years.

"Why?" Jack felt a little confused, as if there was a huge jigsaw puzzle in front of him, with a big piece missing in the middle; Andy's is the full version, even if the lack, but also the lack of some corners. The unequal information makes Jack fall behind.

"If I say it's because I have a personal feud with Michael Ford, do you believe it?" Andy is not a fool, how can he tell the truth, just half true“ The focus is not on why, but on implementation. Aren't you curious? "

Jack raised his head and looked at dawn. He thought dawn would be excited, but in fact, dawn always had a repulsive expression and frowned. For the athlete born dawn, he hates this kind of intrigue, not to mention the other side or before the pit of his opponent.

"I'm curious, but I'm more worried that it's a trap." Jack seems to be honest and says what he thinks, but in fact he shows the enemy to be weak. In front of Andy, he doesn't have much advantage. Bluff will only lose faster.

"Every corner of Hollywood is a trap, but the difference is that some traps are hunting traps, and some traps have their own holes." Andy said meaningfully, "in fact, it's not complicated. Luke and Jason are in charge of us, while you are in charge of dawn. Michael may contact you in the next period of time. Maybe not. The point is, don't worry about the price reduction."

Cut the price.

This word comes out, Jack and dawn are stung, two people quickly exchange a line of sight. Dawn is more and more alert, while Jack is deep in thought.

"Two weeks, two weeks at most. At that time, everything will go smoothly. As for how much you want to pay, it depends on your own ability. " Andy's words come from the loudspeaker. Even if he can't see himself, he can also describe his relaxed freehand brushwork from the hidden smile in his voice, "don't be too greedy, but don't be too soft handed. To show my sincerity, I'd like to offer an opinion. Jason's asking price is six million. "

Jason stanson has starred in such works as "death express", "anger attack", "death express", etc. He is a second-line actor and can be ranked in the first line among action actors. Six million, for the leading role, is on the low side; But for supporting actors, it's on the high side.

"What about Lan Li?" Jack is waiting for the chance to fight back.

But Andy is not deceived at all, said lightly, "Langley is not Jason."

Jack's thoughts spread out. Is lanli demanding more? Drink, just think about it in my mind and I'm scared! By contrast, dawn only asked for 3.5 million. It's a little angel, but Michael still doesn't want to let go! This further shows that Michael obviously treats dawn as a grindstone and hopes that lanli will reduce the price!

"How do I know that you're not using me for your purpose?" Jack closed his eyes when he said that. If lanli needs a grindstone to raise his own value, there will be a lot of innovative artist agencies. He doesn't need dawn at all. Although the threat effect of dawn is greater, compared with Jason, the growth rate is also limited.

"Even if it is, you will not suffer." Andy didn't answer according to Jack's idea, but said frankly, which made Jack choke. "You can discuss it with dawn, and then make a decision. Michael should have news in these two days at the latest. Finally, I wish you a wonderful day. "

After that, Andy just hung up the phone and the busy sound reverberated in the office.

It seems that Andy just issued a notice and didn't need Jack's consent or cooperation at all. It seems that he just went along with it. With such a natural and unrestrained posture, Jack is more and more surprised and can't keep up with his thoughts: what is Andy planning? In other words, what is the creative artist agency planning?

"Jack?" Dawn's voice calls Jack back. "What do you think?"

Although Donne doesn't like Andy, or even dislikes him, the amount of information just now is a little big, and it's so confusing that he feels that he understands something, but it seems that he doesn't understand anything. So dawn looks at Jack for help,

Jack sipped his lips, and then he found that they were horribly dry. After thinking about it seriously, "let's wait and see. Look at what's going on

He can't tell Andy's purpose, but as Andy said, anyway, they don't have any loss, the most is to miss "speed and passion" again. They have just considered lowering the film pay standard, so what else are they afraid of? The most important thing is that in the face of film production companies, agents are always allies. Only when agents join hands can they form confrontation and demand higher wages for actors. This is the bottom line.

However, Andy just mentioned that such a transaction is bound to have a price. The question is, what is the price? Andy did not say, he also forgot to ask, in addition to the pay, what is Andy still seeking?

Countless question marks came out of his head, and Jack felt that he needed to clear his mind. However, before he could gather enough information, Michael forthrie called for the first time.
