The Best Director
Chapter 266 Can I Win an Oscar?
Chapter 266 Can I win an Oscar?
The supporting role of the number one villain? Do I still need to play a supporting role now?
Hearing the words of agent Cynthia Pete Dante on the phone, Brad Pitt on the balcony chair smiled, looking at the beautiful sea view of Malibu in the distance, Eyes narrowed slightly, Miracle Yang, Firefly... Brad said to him: What do you think? Cynthia over there pondered a little, and said her consideration: It depends on your choice, I My advice to you is to refuse.
Cynthia Pate Dante is a gold agent, the vice president of the famous brokerage entertainment company n-grey, which owns Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, Orlando Bloom, Adam Sandler, Kate -Beckinsale, Courteney Cox and many other big stars. Cynthia is a frequent visitor to the top 50 women's power list in Hollywood. She is known for her unique vision and strong grip on media methods.
Once any gossip newspaper reports unfairly about its artists, such as reading pictures and editing articles, Cynthia will block the newspaper, and all the artists will no longer accept interviews, covers, etc. Great role, so that her artists from a lot of trouble.
And n-grey company has a lot of business dealings with Brad Pitt's independent production company plan b (p1an-b-nment). Aniston and Brad were introduced by Cynthia, so her opinion is naturally important.
Now that your career has reached its peak, unless you have the hope of an Oscar, there is no need to appear in Firefly, and your schedule can't take care of it.
Listening to what Cynthia continued, Brad Pitt nodded. Every actor has his own principles and reasons for taking on the role at different stages. In the final analysis, it is to bring a turn for the better or go further in the career, awards, remuneration, favors and his own special desire to act. Brad Pitt is now an absolute first-line superstar, just like Johnny Depp and Will Smith.
Favor? He has no relationship with Magic Yang at all; and he has never been very enthusiastic about science fiction films, and he has no interest in the villains of Firefly. , The last time was Twelve Monkeys in 1996, which brought an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor and a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor. Can Firefly do it?
My schedule is a bit tight. Brad Pitt said, although he hasn't read a single page of the character script, he is not very interested in it, because he is likely to be able to win the Oscar for the leading actor, and he is distracted to deal with it. What does the supporting actor do?
Troy, jointly invested by Plan B and Warner Bros., has just finished filming, with a cost of nearly 200 million, an epic masterpiece like Gladiator\
,"A predictable Oscar contender. Brad thinks he needs to rest for a while, and then cooperate with the promotion of Troy; after Troy is released next year, he will also star in Ocean's Twelve. , there will also be Thirteen Arhats.
At the same time, he also intends to star in the action blockbuster Mr. and Mrs. Smith which is under preparation by several independent companies such as ses. Both of these are commercial films with great selling potential. He can't find a reason to give up the schedule to Firefly.
Is it possible for me to play the leading role? Or raise the role of the villain to a co-leading actor? Brad Pitt suddenly thought of another possibility, after all, the title of magic director is very attractive .
No. Cynthia answered right away. She asked this question in the conversation with Wang Yang before, and Wang Yang said, Although the blue glove is a supporting role, he has the same brilliance as the leading actor. Everyone knows Magic Yang has a humorous and gentle personality, and is an easy-going person, but when it comes to film and business investment and production, he has always been a king who does not change for anyone.
After clarifying Wang Yang's reply, she added: I know that many people are very interested in joining Firefly. Not bad. But now is really not the time for you to play a supporting role. This is the time for you to use the male lead to push your career to a higher peak. If you want trophies, you can consider independent literary films. Supporting roles do not meet your identity, it depends on your choice.
Reject it! Brad Pitt's eyes were narrowed by the sun, and he was about to hang up when he suddenly remembered something and had a new idea: Wait, wait! Tell the king Yang, is there any possibility of such cooperation...
After talking for a while before saying goodbye to each other and putting down the phone, Brad Pitt stood up from the chair, turned and glanced at the beautiful wife Jennifer Aniston in the room. , he groaned, and for some reason, he felt a little unmotivated recently: This kind of life is so boring...should I have a child?
Just after Wang Yang issued an invitation, the news spread on the market's Hollywood news that Magic Yang invited Brad Pitt to play the role of the number one villain in Firefly. This should be the news from n-grey, because no matter what the result is, this news is a positive exposure for both parties. This naturally makes movie fans very excited, Miracle Young + Brad Pitt, Firefly is getting more and more interesting!
What the media don't know is that although Miracle Yang has always been successful, he has not received any rejection since he directed 8 films, and countless actors flock to his invitation; but this cooperation intention is not so smooth.
No, no, I think it's best to belong to a movie. I don't bundle it here.
In the elegant and spacious office, Wang Yang, who was standing by the window, frowned slightly when he heard the cooperation proposal from Cynthia Pete-Dante on the phone, and refused without thinking, saying, I understand Brad's I like Infernal Affairs, but who will play Chen Yongren, let it be its director in the future.
Wang Yang was not surprised to be rejected by Brad Pitt. With Brad's status in the world, this is indeed a normal response to supporting roles. He originally thought about inviting Will Smith to play the role of Blue Gloves, but it seemed a bit misleading to ask Will to pay back the debt of love, so he just didn't want to hurt his feelings, so he dismissed the idea.
The actor positioning of the blue gloves should be in the ranks of Samuel Jackson, and now Brad Pitt's meaning is obvious, unless the leading actor, or a parallel leading actor with the same role, otherwise no. Of course, there is another plan. Pete knows that the overseas adaptation rights of Infernal Affairs are in the hands of Flame Films. As long as the agreement has a plan B and Flame will jointly invest in the production of the US version of Infernal Affairs, Brad Pitt will play the leading actor Chen Yongren terms, then he is willing to star in Firefly, and there will be box office dividends.
Brad Pitt likes Hong Kong gangster action movies, such as Mr. and Mrs. Smith which claims to pay tribute to Hong Kong movies; he fell in love with Infernal Affairs at first sight and has been coveting it for a long time.
Wang Yang knew that in the world in his mind, the U.S. rights of Infernal Affairs originally fell into the hands of Miramax Films, and the overseas adaptation rights were purchased by Brad Pitt's Plan B company. Later, Pitt teamed up with Warner Bros. The Brothers invested in the production, found Martin Scorsese to direct, and planned to star in the American version of Chen Yongren. As a result, in the subsequent audition, Pete failed to pass Martin Scorsese's request and was removed; Scorsese found his beloved Leonardo DiCaprio for Chen Yongren.
Now Flame Films has purchased the adaptation rights of Infernal Affairs, and the invitation of Firefly gave Brad Pitt a chance to take Chen Yongren.
This method of buy one, buy two originated from CAA's bundled sales, which completely changed the relationship between brokerage companies and production companies, artists and investors, and made CAA the most influential brokerage company.
What is bundling? Madara Ramon and his childhood friend Ben Affleck wrote the script of Good Will Hunting together. They gave the script to CAA, and CAA found Miramax who appreciated it. If you want to invest and shoot this script, you can, Madara - Ramon and Ben Affleck will star. So the two became the hottest niche in Hollywood.
This is to tie up the male lead with the script; CAA, which has various talents, will often package and sell it, starting with a script, and find suitable producers, directors, actors, and even photographers, props masters, etc. among its artists. A whole lineup, and then pull in investment producers for the project. Due to the restrictions of the anti-monopoly law, the core business of the brokerage company and the production company cannot be kept at the same time, and that is the only way. Another giant brokerage company, bsp; but Wang Yang has never accepted these bundled sales, even though caa has always arranged It is very suitable, only with credibility and success will the production company continue to invest, and caa can grow bigger. It can also be said that so far, Wang Yang has never been asked to accept any bundled sales. Before that, he almost always found newcomers by himself, and used some unknown and unsatisfactory old actors. Only Natalie Portman, Meryl - Streep is not on this list.
Now, if you want to invite unfamiliar top actors, there are naturally many obstacles. Looking at the street scene outside, Wang Yang thought for a while, and asked one more question: Are you really unwilling to try an audition? Believe me, Blue Gloves is a very suitable role for Brad. He is calm, crazy, and gloomy. Showing kindness and justice, this role has a lot of room to play.
Yan, we are also very sorry, but you know that Brad's schedule is limited, and he can't agree to all good choices. Cynthia Pete-Dante's tone was very regretful. Such a rapidly rising predator is still very polite and respectful.
Listening to Wang Yang over there saying, I know, I know. Cynthia said again: Brad has been busy shooting Troy for a year, and he didn't spend time with Jennifer, and the filming period of Firefly is next year's March April, April, that is the promotion period of Troy. If there is no Infernal Affairs... Jan, the price is not equal, we are really sorry...
It's nothing, I'm sorry too, okay! Tell Brad that we have a chance to work together again, Flame welcomes him to audition for 'Chen Yongren' in the future.
Wang Yang and Cynthia said a few farewell words, and the invitation for a supporting role died without entering the interview stage. This is the first time he has been rejected so clearly. Facing Brad Pitt, who is proud of the net, there is no room to impress Will Smith, but the candidate for the blue gloves is not necessarily Brad Pitt. , there may be better ones, so he didn't do much lobbying.
I've decided, I'll play it myself! In the warm living room, Wang Yang put his arms around Jessica, and while watching TV, he told her that today's negotiations with Brad Pitt had broken down, and he yelled ferociously With a sound. Jessica burst into laughter, but Wang Yang looked serious: I'm serious, my drama addiction has exploded, and the blue gloves are very suitable for a handsome and charming man like me. Jessica smiled dubiously He gave him a blank look and asked, Are you kidding me?
Seeing that she was not excited, Wang Yang patted her on the shoulder and asked with a smile: Do you want me to act? Jessica tilted her head: No, I don't want to right now, just make a guest appearance. Asked with interest: Why? Jessica turned her beautiful eyes upwards, holding back a smile: It seems that I am so useless, the best director in the family is you, and the best actor is you again! I will How to tell the baby? Mom is an actor, and she is the second most powerful in the family.
At least there is Danny in the third place, isn't it? Wang Yang caressed her comfortingly, and Danny, who was lying there and also shot, moved his ears. Jessica rubbed her forehead pitifully: Oh Danny, I'm sorry, mom forgot you, so I'll be in third place.
Seeing her playful look, Wang Yang couldn't help but kissed her on the cheek: That won't happen, I'm so bad at acting. Jessica shrugged: Your acting is not bad at all, that time in New York I Crying like a faucet. Wang Yang smiled and said, d, e11-ne! It seems that we have found a way to save water and environmental protection, and make your woman cry! Jessica stared at him and said in broken Chinese: Are you saying that again? I fucked your ne. i-ear!
I dare not, I dare not! Wang Yang raised his hands in surrender and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Both of them couldn't help laughing happily, and after a long kiss, Wang Yang said with a smile: To be honest, I have neither the ability nor the interest to play the role of Blue Gloves, but I have someone else to choose. Jessica nodded and said :I will always support you.
In just a few days, from rumors of Miracle Young + Brad Pitt to the shattered hope of cooperation, in less than a few days, Pitt's agent Cynthia Pete-Dante confirmed the news to the media in the Los Angeles office, she Said: This is only a preliminary intention. We talked about the possibility of cooperation, but everyone's schedule is different, so that's it. She refused to further disclose and comment on this matter.
It's a pity that we can't see the strong teaming up! Under the dynamic reports of Internet media such as Yahoo Entertainment, movie fans who were concerned about this matter all knew the latest situation, and after being disappointed, the camp immediately split. Now it is obvious that Brad Pitt rejected Wang Yang, which made the Fantastic fans a little angry. Regarding their miraculous record of victory like Fantastic Yang, and all the actors who have worked with him do not give a thumbs up, Why refuse?
Brad Pitt just finished filming Troy and doesn't have a contract right now! Even if he is a top star and idol, even if he and Jennifer-Aniston are synonymous with a good family, many young fans who have followed Miracle Yang for many years are also rejected for the first time, and they have spoken out and criticized this million-dollar mií : So disappointed, this is Brad Pitt's stupidest decision!, He will definitely regret it!...
I just feel so sorry for Brad Pitt, one day in 5 years, he will regret the decision he made today. Yahoo user Akers commented: There is no doubt that Firefly Would do wonders, maybe it's a new Star Wars. And Pete could share the credit, isn't the number one villain enough? But he gave it up himself! I believe in Fantastic Young, he won't spend 20 million, Hiring a superstar for a pointless role, looking forward to seeing 'Blue Gloves' confirmed.
The die-hard fans of Brad Pitt naturally support the idol, so what is Wang Yang? What is Firefly? If you don't act, you don't act! Many people also fought against the miraculous Yang Yingying. Christie wrote: To be clear, Wang Yang wants Brad to play a supporting role. This is an invitation without sincerity and no respect! Brad You can't waste your time on the supporting role of Firefly, Yang is wishful thinking, it is right to refuse!
It's so interesting. Why does Brad regret Firefly after rejecting so many film contracts in a year? What can it do? User Fleming-d sarcastically wrote, I'm not talking about Wang Yang and Firefly will definitely die a miserable death, but please those who are crazy about him think about it calmly, Fantastic Young is still just a human being. Firefly may be the most ordinary movie that imitates Star Wars, Interstellar Mí It’s just a sci-fi film about “Aviation”! Almost every year there are a few.”
He finally wrote: Even if it can be a great success, Brad will not lose anything because he is still the top star in Hollywood, and next year's Troy will bring him an Oscar statuette. Demon followed up and commented: Peter won't get it, he just lost an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Fleming followed up: You are crazy. …
No matter how the outside world reacts to this invitation, Wang Yang did not make any response, but the actor candidates for the blue gloves still have to keep in touch.
Hi! I'm Wang Yang...
