Chapter 240： Stormy Hollywood

Tracy Jacobs is a famous Hollywood agent. He used to play for caa. In 1998, he was poached by uta at a high price and became the vice president of uta agency.

In addition to her extensive network and powerful abilities, the reason why Uta is so reused is because she has an ace actor in her hands - Johnny Depp!

Now Johnny Depp, although not a superstar, but his personalized way of acting has made him stand at the pinnacle of the first-line actors, and he does not worry about film appointments at all.

This summer, he starred in 20th Century Fox's thriller "From Hell," and he's the lead male lead.

Now that "From Hell" has been completed, Tracy Jacobs immediately received a new film contract, directed by Johnny Depp's old partner Tim Burton, which is a hugely invested business The blockbuster "Pirates League: The Curse of the Black Pearl"!

If it was in the past, Tracy Jacobs would have accepted such an offer without hesitation.

Johnny Depp is a star dug up by Tim Burton. The two have been friends for many years, and they are also the first male lead in a commercial blockbuster with an investment of at least $150 million!

But the situation is completely different now, because "Pirate Alliance: The Curse of the Black Pearl" is a film invested and produced by Dunn Films!

Disney and Dunn Pictures are in a commotion, and they have issued ban orders.

The matter of the "blocking order" will definitely not be put on hold like this. Over time, it will have a very bad impact on Hollywood.

Although Tracy Jacobs is still unclear, she is sure that there must be a big man behind it working quietly to resolve the contradiction between Dunn Pictures and Disney.

It would be more in the interests of Tracy Jacobs and Johnny Depp to negotiate the film deal when this farce is over.

However, Johnny Depp has a very weird temper!

"I don't care what **** Disney, I just know that when I was the most difficult, it was Tim who helped me! And "Pirates" is a huge investment business blockbuster, I need this opportunity!" Johnny Depp She didn't give her a chance to dissuade her at all, and her attitude was very tough.

Tracy Jacobs said bitterly: "John, I have never stopped you from working with director Tim Burton again, but the timing is not good. Anyway, the project of "Pirate League" has not yet been established, We can delay for half a year."

In her opinion, half a year is enough for the bigwigs to resolve the adverse effects of the "blocking order".

Johnny Depp said: "Procrastination? No, it's not possible! I need to sign with the crew of 'Pirates' right now. Tracy, I understand your scruples, but in my eyes, only movies. Tim Having said that, this film is tailor-made for me, and I need to participate in the preparatory work of the crew to better integrate into the character."

"But the ban...John, don't forget, that's Disney!" Tracy Jacobs warned in a deep voice.

Johnny Depp curled his lips in disdain, "So what? Disney is still doing cartoons, do they understand movies? In contrast, Dunn Pictures is the new symbol of the new century. I heard "Pirates League" series, Dunn Walker will be the producer himself? I look forward to working with him."

Tracy Jacobs is bitter and helpless.

Johnny Depp's maverick personality makes him unique in Hollywood. Many people say that Tom Cruise can be replaced, but Johnny Depp is irreplaceable, referring to his unique way of acting.

However, it also caused a lot of trouble for Tracy Jacobs' work.

The uta brokerage company is not a giant like caa and wma. Once the relationship with Disney is not handled well, it is likely to bring disaster to other artists in the company.

But Johnny Depp is the biggest star in her hands, and she has to follow his will, otherwise he will change the agency in a rage, and it will be miserable.

Now, what should we do?

Tracy Jacobs looked bewildered, unable to make up his mind.

After the banning order broke out, all the first-line actors in Hollywood skillfully avoided this turmoil. So far, only veteran actor Jack Nicholson has made a strong statement and stood on Dunn's side.

Although Bruce Willis also publicly stated that he is willing to carry out long-term cooperation with Disney, everyone with discernment knows that this guy has been on Dunn's "blocked" list. Even if he wants to ride the wall, it depends on whether Dunn agrees or not.

At this juncture when the "blocking order" is in full swing, Johnny Depp chose to cooperate with Dunn Pictures with great fanfare, which is simply hitting Disney in the face!

Jack Nicholson can rely on the old to sell the old, but Johnny Depp can't, he is only 37 years old, it is the golden age of an actor.

How to do?

Sitting in the office, Tracy Jacobs fiddled with the computer on the desk mechanically, and his mind was confused.

Suddenly, on Yahoo's entertainment page, her eyes seemed to have turned into luminous bodies, suddenly releasing countless rays of light, and her whole body was shaken, staring closely at the entertainment news on the screen.

Her heartbeat, like a drum beat, is getting faster and faster!

Even when she quarreled with Johnny Depp just now, she had never been so nervous or so excited.

The entertainment news reported by Yahoo seemed worthless, and even the editors put it in a corner when it was typeset.

But Tracy Jacobs, who is a Hollywood fan, immediately noticed the value of this news!

This is absolutely breaking news!

The content of the title is very inconspicuous, "Mel Gibson joins ", but the deep meaning behind it makes Tracy Jacobs horrified.

After Jack Nicholson, another powerful, prestigious and influential actor stands in line.

This time, it's Hollywood's No. 1 action star, Mel Gibson!

The content of the news is very simple," Yahoo reports: Mel Gibson recently joined the cast of "A Beautiful Mind" and made a cameo as a college professor. It is said that Mel Gibson paid nothing for this cameo, according to his agent, Mel Gibson lost a bet with director Dunn Walker, which is why this cameo came."

Tracy Jacobs scoffed at the content of the news, and the bet was absurd, which must have been Mel Gibson's agent trying to ease his relationship with Disney in order to shirk responsibility.

It's just that no matter how many reasons, they can't hide the truth.

Mel Gibson resolutely and decisively chose Dunn Pictures at the hottest moment of this "blocking order", which is definitely a slap in the face of Disney! And it's a ruthless hit!

This Australian tough guy is really tough!

Such a report may seem unremarkable to ordinary people. It can be seen from the more than 2,000 hits alone that it is not a hot topic.

However, for Tracy Jacobs, it was like a thunderbolt, both astonished and surprised!

Johnny Depp thing, saved!

With Mel Gibson up front, Tracy Jacobs has more confidence. Since it is impossible to change Johnny Depp's mind, it is better to take advantage of Mel Gibson's potential to complete the negotiations with the "Pirate Alliance" crew.

If it draws Disney's wrath, Mel Gibson can be put in front, and Johnny Depp will have a lot less pressure.

...

Entering September, Disney's movie "Fox and Dog Party" has both lost its box office and word of mouth. According to the current box office trend, it is a miracle that this film with an investment of 35 million US dollars can exceed 10 million US dollars at the North American box office.

As for the overseas box office... If it can be released overseas, it is considered a success.

In comparison, Tang En Pictures' "The Girl Who Moved Soul" has a strong reputation. Although the box office has always been ranked in the middle, but it has a strong word of mouth support, and its victory is lasting.

The crew of "A Beautiful Mind" filming far away in the Boston area will release a message or two from time to time to keep the media's attention.

The fact that Mel Gibson joined the cameo immediately caused a shock throughout Hollywood!

Especially between giant film companies and first-line stars, everyone's face will change greatly when they hear this news.

Dunn Pictures is too strong, right?

First, a veteran actor like Jack Nicholson, and then a popular superstar like Mel Gibson. The two of them appeared on the stage, and the competition between Dunn Pictures and Disney about the "blocking order" was stalemate, showing a stalemate. One-sided posture.

It is not the media giant Disney that shows the winning side, but the emerging film company Dunn Films!

How much shocking is this situation!

Disney is carrying a big brand of an old studio, but it can't attract the support of stars. On the contrary, Dunn Pictures, which was established only three years ago, has already formed a huge pattern in Hollywood.

Is the strength of Tang En Pictures already so strong?

With Michael Eisner's strong character and iron fist, he won't let it go. Jack Nicholson and Mel Gibson support Dunn Films, but in fact, they are all petty, and they will not have much impact on Disney.

However, Disney's face cannot be lost!

It is conceivable that Michael Eisner at this time must be very angry, very annoyed!

Maybe, he is brewing a new layout!

Just at the core of Hollywood, there were different opinions, and when they were guessing what kind of countermeasures Michael Eisner would come up with, Dunn Pictures held a press conference and released another one that made everyone stunned and goosebumps. News from one place -

Johnny Depp has signed a contract with Dunn Pictures, and he will serve as the male lead of Dunn Pictures' new film project!

For a time, Hollywood is surging!

Dunn Pictures has become unstoppable!
