Andy Rogers took a big sip of coffee. The sourness without adding any sugar made him tremble. He looked at the sugar bowl on the edge of the table, and looked at his potbelly beer belly...then just put one. Sugar cubes, this is equivalent to losing weight.

Flipping through the newspapers and magazines on the desktop, the headline of "Entertainment Weekly" looked very horrifying, "'Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 5'has been extended indefinitely? Universal Pictures is considering adjusting the schedule, and it will be released in 2012!" Visibly red Below the font, there is a row of black subtitles, "The cooperation negotiation with Dawn Johnson has officially collapsed!"

Andy’s expression is not the slightest surprise. Recently, news about the crew of "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5" has been unceasingly heard, and the news is about to be revealed every three to five. The physical magazine of "Entertainment Weekly" is published once a week, so This headline is already relatively lagging, more like a compilation of news from the past week.

However, "Entertainment Weekly" is not the only media that pays attention to the progress of the "Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 5" crew.

"'Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5', the crew fights within three weeks, and the loss will be as high as five million US dollars!"

"Van Diesel fought with Dawn Johnson? Diesel let him go: he is not me!"

"The casting fell into a quagmire, and there was another accident in the early shooting test. Rio de Janeiro municipality/government rejected the crew's request for the shooting schedule, and the speed and excitement/emotion 5 was not good for the team.

"Dawn Johnson: I am eager to join this big family, but we are still in discussions."

"The crew of'Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 5'announced that it will continue to shut down for two weeks, and the reopening of filming is nowhere in sight. Universal Pictures is silent on this."

...

These are all the latest news today. It can be seen that the crew of "Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 5" is in a deadlock. The strategy of using Lan Li to divert attention has lost its deterrent effect. Dawn Johnson sees through. After understanding the crew’s intentions, they began to put pressure on the crew and Universal Pictures through the media; at the same time, the crew’s own backyard caught fire and troubles continued. Neil H-Moretz is now in a dilemma.

Universal Pictures has never been good at shooting sequels. Among the six major film companies, they have developed the least sequels—especially the profitable sequels. At present, the "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion" series is their only trump card, which is naturally attracting much attention. Now, Ron Meyer's attitude is the most important.

If Lang is willing to stand up for Neal, then Dawn’s replacement is a certainty. After Dawn and Neal have fought for so long, Neal is bound to suffocate his anger and refuse to let go; but if Lang lets go, give With the Dawn Green Pass, Neal will not continue to insist. It is estimated that the slowest three days, the fastest 24 hours, "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5" can be used for shooting.

Andy habitually puts the "Los Angeles Times" at the end. For people on the East Coast, the "New York Times" is the most important part of their lives. Correspondingly, the "Los Angeles Times" is supreme in the West Bank. Status.

The headline of the “Los Angeles Times” today is the outgoing California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. This governor will step down in January next year. Everyone is currently watching the election of the next governor and Arnold’s past seven years. After years of merit and demerit, the "Los Angeles Times" interviewed the governor of the tough guy movie star for the first time and brought relevant reports.

In addition, the news that occupies the bottom of the front page is a drought warning in California. After last year, California is likely to face the challenge of drought for the second year in a row. This has attracted the attention of the entire state of California, and the "Los Angeles Times" is naturally the first to bear the brunt of warnings for local residents.

Opening the entertainment version, Andy planned to scan the titles of the various sections first, but his eyes fell on the headline position, and then he was stunned, "The next new member of the crew of'Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 5': Jason-Statham?"

Andy carefully searched the memory in his mind, and he did not receive any news of Jason and the crew contacting him, which was a bit unexpected. Jason, who entered the field of action actor's vision with the "Destiny Express" series, has not made more gains in Hollywood for the time being. He is even five years older than Dawn, but the athlete's origin, flexibility, and tough guy style are indeed It left a lot of impressions.

If Jason replaces Dawn...

After thinking about it, Andy pressed the intercom button on the phone, "Nancy, you can check for me, who is Jason Statham's agent."

After hanging up the phone, Andy's brain started to work quickly. This game of chess finally reached this situation. He will never take it lightly, let alone surrender. Before the last minute, he refused to let the duck out of his mouth fly. Drop.

In the past week, he has not received any news about Jason, which is a bit strange—because he has been staring at the important characters of the "Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 5" crew, completely isolated by the news, or not. It is worth noting that either there is insider information. However, the report came from the "Los Angeles Times", which became more intriguing.

"Andy, Jason is an artist in our company." About three minutes later, Andy received a reply from assistant Nancy-Kinsley. It was really flooding the Dragon King Temple. Andy chuckled. I got up, my tense mood relaxed a little, "Who is in charge of him now?"

Within the creative artist agency, there is no strict distinction between artists and resources in the strict sense. In other words, Andy can get all Jason’s work information without any hindrance. First-hand insider information; similarly, the performance opportunity of "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5" is also open to all actors of the entire company. .

So, when their artists become competitors? The solution is also very simple. Whoever has more potential, who is more valuable, and who meets the requirements better, then go to whoever is to ensure that resources can be reasonably used to the maximum.

Taking "Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 5" as an example, whoever is more suitable for Renly and Jason, the innovative artist agency will choose whoever. If both Renly and Jason are unsuccessful, then Andy will recommend another actor to The crew, unless the crew directly signs a contract with Dawn Johnson, they will work hard until the creative artist agency takes the role.

Of course, such a plan is only for newcomers like Renly and Jason, who have no foundation. Those top actors are a different matter.

After a few simple phone calls, Andy felt relieved.

Neal did contact Jason, but it was just a smoke bomb. In fact, Jason has already signed a contract with the "Death Squad" crew, and will soon star in this tough guy-packed blockbuster, and two more works are under negotiation, so there is no need to worry about the film contract.

This made Andy smell an unusual breath, and Neil's movements began to speed up. It seemed that they had decided to give up Dawn.

Choosing a smoke bomb like Jason is giving Dawn a signal: They would rather choose Jason Statham, who has a similar style but one size smaller, than Dawn Johnson, the best option.

This is bound to make the team behind Dawn start to move quickly, or Dawn will act decisively, lower the pay, and compromise, otherwise Neal will not continue to wait, and then complete his signing plan step by step, and refuse to continue to wrestle. Go down. It seems that Lang is on Neal's side.

The question is, who will Neal choose to replace?

Lan Li is now getting closer and closer to the "Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 5" crew, almost a step away, but this position is also the most uncomfortable. At the last moment, once Dawn made a decisive decision, then Lanly was likely to fall short before the finish line. Being within reach, but still not holding it in the palm of the hand, this feeling is the most disturbing.

"Tingling bell", the ringing of the phone interrupted Andy's thoughts, he picked it up, and Nancy's voice came again, "Andy, Neil H-Moritz is on the third line."

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be there.

Andy's eyes narrowed slightly, "Help me pick it up." Then Neil's polite laughter voice came on the other end of the phone, "A brand new day, how do you feel today? I thought I would be at Barry Meyer this weekend. You can be seen at my private party. It seems that you have other better arrangements."

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1 is about to land on this year's Halloween schedule, which also means that the ten-year Harry Potter series has entered the final stage. Therefore, as the CEO of Warner Bros., Barry naturally has high hopes and hopes that the series will end perfectly. This is where a private party was held and all the bigwigs were invited to start the business operation process with a strong posture.

"The threshold of the party is too high, but not everyone can enter. It is a pity that I did not receive the invitation letter. Obviously, I missed a lot of important events." Andy also responded with a polite smile and said half-jokingly. .

In fact, he attended another party on the weekend, a private party by Scott Rudin for the "Thunder Landing" propaganda-the awards season has not yet begun, but the warm-up parties have already begun. .

Neal naturally won’t take it seriously~www.novelhall.com~ also joked, “Don’t worry, except that Charlie-Sheen was drunk again and took off his pants, you didn’t miss anything. "After the simple polite remarks, Neal cut directly to the subject, "That young guy under your hand, how is everything going well lately?"

There are many actors under Andy, but Lan Li is the only young actor.

"It's like countless young people, waiting for his chance." Andy also gave Neal a step down.

But both Andy and Neil knew well that Renly was now filming in the "Crazy Love" crew. Andy never deliberately hid the news, but people didn't pay attention to it. Anyone who is interested can know the relevant situation.

Neil did not know, and chuckled, "That would be great. I think he is the actor that our crew has been looking for. Paul told me yesterday that he can't wait to get together He started to cooperate."

"Wow, this is really great news." It couldn't be clearer, and he had to put on the appearance that he had just heard. "If Lan Li knows, he will definitely be happy. It's just that I don't know the crew is here. What are your plans for the salary budget?"
