The Speed ​​of Life is approaching $300 million at the global box office.

In one of CAA's offices, Martin Bob seemed to be talking to himself and to Lovett across from him, The increase in the film's box office will only make Warner Bros. pay more attention to Duke Rosenberg. the value of the grid, lowering our weight.

He tapped the table lightly and considered it for a while, Duke Rosenberg left Fox and hugged the thigh of Warner Bros. Warner Bros. won't watch their investment fail. We mustn't use it. Too many means outside the rules, otherwise Time Warner will be invited...

It's a shameful thing, CAA has done a lot, because they can create value, no one in the major Hollywood companies will compare, but they really want to compete with a top three media group in the United States... Well, they will be attacked from the inside out. The people are clean, and the other major brokerage companies are bound to fall into the ground.

Then we don't do anything? Lovett was unwilling, and his feelings for Duke could be said to be extremely complicated.

The means that should be used in private should still be done. When the post-production of Brave Dead Island is about to be completed, the news about Sean will be released.

At that time, the cost of changing the plot or the actors will be huge, and it will also remind the audience who are going to watch the movie to compare, Martin Bob has obviously calculated, Also, we are looking for a big production, and Brave Life Island was released at the same time, completely suppress it!

How is the James Cameron I want you to touch? he asked Lovett.

That... Lovett organized the language a little bit, as if to remove the indecent words in the original words, Cameron said that as long as he was on the set of True Lies for one day, CAA would not want to get involved in his project , he would rather cancel the True Lies project than be a puppet of CAA!

A trash director with no vision!

Martin Bob can imagine that James Cameron must be in front of countless people, in the most arrogant and furious tone, roaring these rude words, Vision will determine a person's future, Cameron. Long's achievements are limited to this, as long as you fail once, who will remember a truck driver in Hollywood.

We need a project that can suppress Brave Island. He tapped the armrest of the chair.

Tom has always been interested in Interview with the Vampire. Lovett reminded suddenly, This was originally our next package project with Twentieth Century Fox, but it was temporarily shelved by them.

Interview with the Vampire... Martin Bob's tapping action gradually increased, Fox lost Brave to the Dead Island, I must have some opinions on Duke Rosenberg, we can give Interview with the Vampire has assembled a luxurious cast, and this novel has a broad reader base, so it can...

Lovett, contact Tom for me... No, you go pick him up yourself. Martin Bob stood up directly, I'm going to see Ovitz and Townsend Rothman.

Not far from Century City, in a cafe in Beverly Hills, Duke put down the coffee cup in his hand and looked at Nicolas Cage, who was sitting opposite.

Compared with the last time we met, Cage's hairline seemed to have receded a lot.

The two had been talking for a while, and Nicolas Cage was still hesitating. Duke said again, Nicolas, this won't affect your continued starring in literary films! It won't affect your pursuit of the Oscars. If The success of the film can actually take your career a big step forward. Think about it, in the next few years, maybe even the fans of the closed country on the other side of the Pacific will know you.

Hey, that's Nicholas Cage, I just love his films, Duke said, spreading his hands. Don't you enjoy that? It's a feeling you can't get from an independent film!

Next to Cage, sat his agent, who had long been tempted by the $5 million salary offered by the crew.

Nikola, it's time for us to get into mainstream cinema, he persuaded.

Because she didn't want her own words to affect her cousin's decision, Sofia Coppola didn't speak since she sat next to Duke. At this time, she looked at Duke and William Morris's agent, and understood that even if Cage If I don't make a decision now, I'm afraid it won't be long before I sign the actor contract.

Her eyes returned to Duke, this seemingly calm and reserved guy, whether it was bewitching Warner Bros. to reject CAA or persuading Nicholas to accept the role, he used all the simplest and most direct methods, but also the most direct way. The easy way to impress people - fame and fortune!

In the Hollywood circle, who can get rid of these two influences? Sophia thought she couldn't, and she knew Duke couldn't either.

Whether it's successful or not... Cage stood up over there and stretched out his hand, I will give you an answer as soon as possible.

What I hope to hear is good news. Duke shook Cage's hand firmly, I believe John and Sophia would also like to work with you.

He has never been pedantic, nor is Naomi the stereotyped person. At this time, he did not hesitate to pull out Cage's cousin John Schwartzman and his cousin.

Sophia glared at Duke faintly, but said nothing.

The 'Rock' studio, which co-ordinated the Brave Island project, was officially established in Burbank last week. The crew prepared props, designed scenes, produced storyboards, and selected actors and other aspects in an orderly and simultaneous manner. Ed Harris, named by Duke, has already agreed to audition, and Naomi Watts, who Nancy tucked into the crew, has also been invited to audition.

The most difficult thing to do is the current young artist Nicholas Cage. Duke has called him several times, but the effect is not obvious, so he asked his agent to come out for a meeting.

If Nicolas Cage still refuses, then Duke will definitely make a substitution without hesitation. Cage is only the first choice, but not mandatory.

Are you sure you want to give up inviting Sean Connery completely?

After Cage left, Sophia called the waiter, changed two cups of coffee, sat opposite Duke, and said, You don't plan to meet him and persuade him personally?

Honey, I don't have an aura of mental retardation. Duke added a little sugar to his coffee. Do you think CAA would have offered $10 million without Sean Connery's approval? Called the most elegant and sexy old man, but we all know what kind of person he really is.

Alcoholism, drug addiction, domestic violence... Sophia shrugged, speaking the Hollywood consensus on Sean Connery, Rude, impulsive, irritable, and often full of foul language.

Since he refused, he's still on the side of CAA, and we know what kind of person he is. Duke spread his hands, Why go to him and humiliate yourself.

All Hollywood knows that Sean Connery is a gentleman carefully packaged by CAA, and I may be more appropriate to describe it as the opposite of a gentleman.

Are you sure Christopher Lee can surpass him?

Hearing Sophia's words, Duke shook his head, Not sure. But don't forget, Connery has never been known for his acting skills. I have seen some of Christopher Lee's roles, and his acting skills are definitely not under Connery's. And he has real experience that Connery doesn't have.

What? Sophia asked curiously.

Warner collected some information. Duke recalled watching the content not long ago, Lee went to Finland at the age of 17 to participate in the war against the Soviet invasion, and served in the famous British desert force 'Ghost Patrol', After fighting with Nazi Germany for a few years, he later joined a British special operations team, mainly performing reconnaissance, espionage, and sabotage tasks in the Nazi-occupied areas. After the end of World War II, he went to Yugoslavia as an espionage...

In other words, Li is probably the only actor in Hollywood who has actually worked as a secret agent. It is no exaggeration to describe his hands with blood. The important thing is that he, like Sean Connery, has an absolute level of excellence. With the above acting skills, there is definitely no problem in interpreting the role of a special agent.

This... this can't be fake, right? Sophia couldn't believe Duke's words.

Warner used some connections in the UK. Duke shook his head at her. Confirm this is real information.

If he agrees. Sophia thought about the other side of the project, This is a very good publicity boo, and a real British agent playing the role of a British agent will definitely stimulate the desire of many viewers to watch.

That's something I've thought about with Warner as well.

Why did Warner Bros. go to the UK to verify this information, because it has huge potential value, But now is not the time, these should be placed at the most critical stage of the film's promotion, especially the CAA side, if they release about Sean? Connery's news, if we launch another publicity campaign about Lee, the effect will be better, Lee may not be as famous as him, but we can use Sean Connery's name to hype.

It seems that the public relations position is more suitable for you, Sophia said in a faint nasal voice, containing a hint of sarcasm, not the director!

You misunderstood. Duke raised a finger and shook Sophia, This is all the propaganda strategy developed by Warners after Christopher Lee agreed to play. I'm just repeating it.

In this case,

Seeing Duke packing up his belongings and standing up, Sophia quickly followed, The problem of CAA is solved.

It's just a temporary solution.

The role of John Mason will definitely have to make some adjustments based on Christopher Lee.

Feeling Sophia's hands habitually in his arms, Duke walked out of the cafe, It's hard to say what the final effect will be. We also need to be careful of CAA, they may come and take a bite at any time.

Although Christopher Lee did not have a particularly famous role in the past, Duke has some confidence in him. After all, the future Count Dooku and Saruman are both extremely good, and at the level of 'British agents', if the first generation of 007 is If you're lucky, then Christopher Lee is a complete 'Jack Sue'!
