Made in Hollywood

John Mason, a former British agent, can be seen in the trailers and promotional posters for Brave Island.

In the face of the Fox TV camera, Sean Connery showed his usual gentlemanly demeanor, Warner Bros. and director Duke Rosenberg have both sent me invitations, and I am also very interested in this role, both sides. Substantial negotiations have entered, but Duke Rosenberg has changed his mind and cast an older, lesser-known actor in the role, which I deeply regret.

Are you very interested in this role? The reporter asked cooperatively.

Yes, I am very interested in this role. Sean Connery directly admitted, Everyone knows what my first famous role was, I have no reason to refuse, I think fans also like to see me in it. Such a role...

In Connery's words, the audience and the media are alluded to comparing the current John Mason with himself, especially in the interview, where he did James Bond's iconic pull on the collar of his suit several times. Tell others that he is the retired former British agent.

Then, the screen moved to the studio, and the host of the show also commented in a timely manner.

Judging from the character setting of John Mason, there is no older actor in Hollywood who is more suitable than Sean Connery. Sean is also very interested in this role and does not understand the young Rosenberg. Why did Director Grid reject Sean and instead used an unknown actor like Christopher Lee, does he think Lee can compete with Sean Connery?

Some words need not be said too clearly. It is relatively easy for the media to guide public opinion today, not to mention a large TV station facing the United States such as the Fox Network.

Turning off the TV, Sophia walked back and sat in her seat, watching Duke.

The day has come. She looked relaxed.

It's not going to be smooth sailing, it's a competitive Hollywood.

Just after he finished speaking, Duke's cell phone rang again, and the caller was Jeff Robinoff of Warner. After he picked it up, he listened for a while and said, Yes, I see, I will cooperate with Warner. propaganda plan!

From the next day, many media began to hype the news that Sean Connery was once rejected by Duke. I can't wait for a nuclear war to break out in the world.

The young Duke Rosenberg made the mistake of rejecting one of the best ex-British agents.

What reason does Duke have for rejecting Sean? It's going to cause audiences to miss out on the best British spy role.

Who is Christopher Lee? Who has heard of him? Can he compare to Sean Connery?

Ordinary media's comments are relatively restrained, and the tabloids under News Corporation have unexpectedly appeared all kinds of exaggerated reports.

It's so unfair to poor Christopher Lee, the film hasn't been shown, just a trailer and a poster introduction, and he's been compared to the best old Hollywood actors, The Brave Island John Mason, is bound to be a losing character.

The New York Post randomly interviewed 100 movie fans, and 97 of them didn't know who Christopher Lee was and said they were not optimistic about his role as a special agent...

These tabloids are comparing Sean Connery to Christopher Lee, and Hollywood insiders can see that there is competition and other factors involved, but no one can say anything. This is the most conventional method, and Sean Connery completely crushed Christopher Lee, no one can deny that.

Why didn't Duke use Sean Connery?

Sitting in a burger shop, Jones looked at Allen in confusion, Although I haven't seen much of Sean Connery's movies, and I'm not familiar with these older generation actors, but the first 007 is no better than that. That...that who is right?

It doesn't matter... Allen shrugged his shoulders, not caring at all. Does it matter who plays this character? We pay attention to Duke's films because of his action scenes and explosive scenes, and besides, Sean Conner Lee is not an actor of our time. In my opinion, he is just an old movie star, 007? How many years ago did that happen?

Kunites, who came back with a Coke, happened to hear Allen's words and echoed, Sean Connery doesn't belong to our era, whoever he is!

Each generation has its own favorite movie star. It began to sink from 007 after exiting 007, and it didn't rise again until the mid-to-late 1980s. Sean Connery is obviously not in the late 1960s and 1970s, which dominated the current film market. At the beginning of this group of movie stars that the audience especially liked.

Having experienced the era of highly developed Internet, Duke knows that the teenage audience who occupy the main share of the theater market will not buy too much from an old movie star, otherwise he will not take the risk of using Christopher Lee, and Warner has already formulated it. related publicity programs.

In the Duke studio in North Hollywood, Duke sent off Christopher Lee and his agent and returned to the office, where only he and Charles Rowan were left.

Some things are only suitable for two people to say, if there is a third person present, if there is a conflict with Warner in the future, it will be a pain in the foot.

Now, for Sean Connery, Duke neither likes nor hates him. When he enters this circle, his personal likes and dislikes must be put on the back burner. What he upholds is only one thing: people with common interests, He is a temporary friend, and anyone who offends his interests is an enemy.

Just as he thought about it, it is absolutely impossible to judge the current partnership based on the likes and dislikes of a certain movie character in the past.

However, now his strength and capital are extremely limited, and he can only hug and borrow the super thigh of his current partner Warner Bros.

Charles... Duke sat down and looked at the production manager, Is there any concrete progress in the fire investigation?

No, everything is like a fire caused by accidents and mismanagement. Charles Rowan said helplessly, Hollywood fires like this every year, and it's not the first time for Warner Studios. Batman There has been no convincing conclusion about the second fire, and the same is true this time, and the Los Angeles police will close the case.

He shook his head, At present, there is no evidence that this is arson. Although Warner is very annoyed, they can't find anyone to vent, and they can't open fire on the entire CAA.

Charles, remember what you said to me? Some things don't require proof!

In the past, Duke had to concentrate on post-production, and the fire could only be thrown aside. Now, only the tail is left in post-production. The situation of benefit is obvious, so he framed it very simply, I don't know what Warner's executives think, this is not a method within the rules, and it seriously violates the bottom line of the industry. If some people do not learn a lesson, this kind of If there is a first time, there will be a second time!

Does human beings matter? It's also in Warner's interest to discredit certain people, which, after all, is extremely beneficial for the promotion of the film.

Does Warner want to have a second loss? The fire burned not only our $870,000, but also Warner's reputation and face! Are we going to sit back and watch those who have harmed our interests and continue to enjoy themselves? ? He wouldn't disguise himself as a generous person, others would slap him, and as long as he could seize the opportunity, he would definitely go back.

What do you think? Charles Rowan asked.

Have you heard of the Hollywood Eye, Charles?

Half an hour later, Duke sent Charles Rowan out of the office. The other party never gave any reply. Everything had to wait for Warner to evaluate and make a decision. This is not a trivial matter. .

There are a lot of shameful things in Hollywood. Just like Duke and Charles Rowan, they will only move in their hearts, and they will never leave behind easily. When they leave the office, none of them will admit what they just said.

The media is still hyping the news of Sean Connery, and Duke and Warner still have not responded positively. Waiting for the news to be fully fermented, CAA obviously has not paid attention to and carefully investigated little people like Christopher Lee. Little people often have Unusual experience.

Wearing black sunglasses, Anthony Pellicano entered the old cafe in the small town of Venice, looked around, walked to a coffee table, and sat opposite a Latino man.

This is a man with a plain appearance and a common stature. It is almost impossible to find him when thrown into a crowd, but Pellicano, with his keen sense of smell developed by his profession, can vaguely guess that the other party is probably a private detective or a big company specializing in behind-the-scenes affairs. People, but he can become a famous person in Hollywood, and he is dubbed the title of 'The Eye of Hollywood', naturally he will not be stupid enough to ask more questions.

The two hardly spoke. A thick leather bag, a newspaper with entertainment pages, everything Pellicano got. In fact, there are some things that don't need to be said. After the other party left, his eyes naturally fell on that share. on the newspaper.

The front page of the newspaper is an old man with gray beard, even if it is printed on the newspaper, you can feel the gentleman smell exuding from the whole body.

This is his goal! Seems a little difficult?

Although this thought appeared briefly, Pellicano laughed when he bumped the weight of the bag.

He even dared to investigate superstars like Elizabeth Taylor and Sylvester Stallone, and even dared to eavesdrop on the private calls of Tom Cruise and Scientology, not to mention such an outdated character?

As for the person who hired him, Pellicano didn't care at all. Those who wanted to investigate these stars were either competitors or competing companies. It was too common in Hollywood. His purpose was to get money to do things. Become a future employer, and a current employer can also become a future survey object...

Picking up the newspaper with Sean Connerlet on it, Pellicano walked out of the cafe.

Ask for a recommendation! Ask for collection!
