An obscure black business car parked in Firefly's office building parking lot, a tall man with sungla.s.ses on and curly black hair and his agent got off the car, and hastily walked inside the office building .
Across the street, Johnny, the owner of a convenience store, glanced idly through the gla.s.s window and immediately recognized the man ident.i.ty, Tom Hanks .
Johnny is also a movie fan, almost every week he go to the cinema to watch a movie or two, although he was almost forty years old, past the age of chasing celebrity's, he was still familiar with the big and small stars in Hollywood, such as Tom Hanks, although he was only wearing sungla.s.ses, he had no intention to disguise himself, that's way Johnny could recognize him with just a glance .
In the big and small movie studios in Burbank, it's normal to run into one or two big stars, Johnny didn't feel anything weird was going on .
He knew that the owner of the film company opposite his shop is the latest Hollywood upstart Eric Williams, he thought perhaps Tom Hanks and the little miracle kid will be working together on a new film .
After five or six minutes later, when Johnny was entertaining a few customers, he saw another business car parked across the street .
Curious, Johnny fixed his eyes on the door, and soon another two people came out from the car . A man wearing sungla.s.ses and a woman, Although this man was slightly shorter than Tom Hanks, his reputation in Hollywood was much higher than Hanks .
it is one of the most popular star in Hollywood, Tom Cruise .
"Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise" Johnny touched his chin and thought, perhaps the paparazzi might be interested in this .
If a single person comes here, then it's hardly news, although the the paparazzi pay attention to every move of Hollywood stars, but they aren't particularly interested in their normal daily activities .
Who have time to focus on where a star by his clothes or what restaurant he go to or who he meets, unless you are a stalker . All the paparazzi care about now is what they are working on, s.e.x scandals, divorce, drug abuse, arrest . . .
. . . Any star that have this problems will be besieged by the paparazzi .
When "Home Alone" was originally released, Eric was chased all over by the paparazzi, because at that time, the public was interested in this small young director, if a newspaper carry Eric news, curious people will rush to buy it .
The two Toms also know, if they can successfully cooperate, with the fame of the three of them, the box office appeal will be immeasurable . Not to mention "Running Out of Time" wonderful story, perhaps this film can be just like Eric first two movies, and once again create a box office miracle .
Everyone wants to become a protagonist of a box office blockbuster, hence today's meeting .
. . . .
. .
Eric, Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise sat alone in a Conference room, Jeffrey and the two Tom's agents were waiting outside, Although Cruise and Hanks are now CAA's artists, but after arriving at their present level, the CAA almost have no constraints on them .
So the two agents can only obediently do their job, and dare not place obstacles in his way .
Of course, once they completely determine to cooperate and the fee negotiations time come, the two brokers who are eagerly waiting for that moment to come, will show their true colors .
Eric put the complete script in front of Cruise and Hanks, until now the two stars only read the outline of the script . It took them half an hour to read the full script, after finishing Hanks touched his face smiled and said: "Eric, I now know that I'm not suited for playing Andy .
If I wanted to change my appearance to a woman, the difficulty is indeed a little big . "
Eric laughed, but Tom Cruise did not seem to hear Hanks joke, he still had a slight frown on his face: "Eric, I still find it more appropriate to change the plot, in the scenario setting, Andy is a make up artist, then having him disguise himself as another man will also be a good choice, right?"
Sitting opposite Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks felt that Cruise's behavior is too conservative, dressing as a woman is not a serious thing, as an actor, even if the director makes you dress like a dog, as long as the request is perfectly logical and reasonable, he will do it .
He has just done some a.n.a.lysis of the script, this plot is not done deliberately, Andy dressing as a woman was done to let the villain relax his vigilance, Andy dressed as a woman and come to the transaction place with a second man to pick up the ransom from the villain .
if he was a dressed like a man, he felt that the villain is more likely take the gun and kill them . Two men appearing at the scene of the transaction, isn't that weird?
