Chapter 266 Can I get an Oscar?
"Number one villain supporting role? Do I still need to play a supporting role now?"
Hearing the agent Cynthia Pete Dante on the phone, Brad Pitt on the balcony chair smiled and looked at the beautiful Taobao women's Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao women's winter coat m sea view in the distance Malibu, His eyes narrowed slightly, Miracle Yang, "Fireflies" ... Brad said to him: "What do you think?" Cynthia over there a little bit yín, said to consider: "It depends on your choice, I The advice to you is to refuse it. "
Cynthia Pete Dante is a gold broker and vice president of the famous brokerage and entertainment company n-grey, which has Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, Orlando Bloom, Adam Sandler, Kate -Beckinsale, Courteney Cox and many other big-name stars. Cynthia is a regular visitor to the top 50 of the Hollywood women's power list, and is known for her unique vision and iron hand for the media.
Once any gossip newspaper appeared unfair reports of its artists, such as "seeing pictures and editing articles", Cynthia will block its newspapers, and all its artists will no longer accept their interviews, covers, etc. The big effect has saved her entertainers a lot.
While n-grey and Brad Pitt's independent production company "P Plan (p1an-b-nment)" have a lot of business contacts, Aniston and Brad are still introduced by Cynthia, and her opinions naturally matter.
"Now your career has reached its peak, unless there is hope for an Oscar, there is no need to star in" Firefly ", and your schedule can not be taken care of."
Listening to Cynthia's continued words, Brad Pi nodded characteristically. Each actor has his principles and reasons for taking the show at different stages. In the final analysis, it is to make the career a turning point or further, awards, rewards, favors and special desires to perform. Brad Pitt is now the status of an absolute first-line superstar, just like Johnny Depp and Will Smith, there is no shortage of pay and reputation.
Human relations? He has nothing to do with Miracle Young; he has never been very passionate about science fiction films, and he is not interested in the villains of "Firefly". If it is the actor, he will consider it carefully, but the supporting role, he has not played a supporting role in a long time. The last time was "Twelve Monkeys" in 1996, which brought an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor and Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor Trophy. Can Firefly?
"My schedule is a bit tight," Brad Pitt said. Although he hasn't read a page of the character script, he is not very interested in it, because he is likely to win the Oscar actor, and he will distract meticulously. What does the supporting actor do?
b "Troy", which is planned to be jointly invested with Warner Bros., has just finished, with a cost of nearly 200 million. An epic masterpiece like "Gladiator" can be expected to be a hot Oscar competitor. Brad thought he would take a break for a while, and then cooperate with the promotion of "Troy"; next year, "Troy" will also appear in "Twelve Arhats". He and Steven Soder Bird have already said that. , There will be "Thirteen Arhats".
At the same time, he also intends to appear in the action blockbuster "Smith and Wife" in the joint venture preparation of several independent companies such as ses. Both of these are commercial films with great sales potential. He has no reason to give up the schedule to "Firefly".
"Is it possible to play the leading role? Or improve that villain's role as a co-lead actor?" Brad Pitt suddenly thought of another viable alternative, after all, the name "Magic Director" is very attractive. .
"No." Cynthia responded immediately. She had asked this before in the interview with Wang Yang. Wang Yang said "Although the blue gloves are supporting roles, he has the same brilliance as the actor." Everyone knows The miraculous Yang is gentle and easy to get along with, but he has always been a "king" who doesn't change anyone for investment in film and business production.
After explaining Wang Yang ’s reply clearly, she added:
I know that many people are very interested in joining Firefly. It has a great chance of 400-500 million at the global box office. It also has the opportunity to get some Oscar nominations. Both dividends and trophies. Not bad. But now is really not the time for you to act as a supporting role. This is the period when you use the actor to push your career to a higher peak. If you want a trophy, you can consider an independent literary film. The supporting role does not meet your identity. "
"Reject it!" Brad Pitt's eyes were narrowed by the sun, just about to hang up, he suddenly remembered something, and he had a new idea: "Wait, wait! Tell Wang Yang, is there any possibility of such cooperation ... "
After speaking for a while, I put down my phone, and Brad Pitt got up from the chair and turned to glance at the beautiful Taobao women's Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao women's winter coat m wife Jennifer Aniston He didn't know why, and he was a little bit unnerved recently: "This kind of life is so boring ... Should I have a child?"
Wang Yang had just invited him, and the news came out on the Hollywood News. Miracle Young invited Brad Pitt to play the number one villain in Firefly. This should be the sound of n-grey, because regardless of the result, this news is a positive exposure for both parties. This naturally makes movie fans very excited, Magic Young + Brad Pitt, "Firefly" is becoming more and more popular!
What the media does not know is that despite the unfavorable history of the magic, there have been no rejections since directing the eight films, and countless actors have rushed to invite him; but this time the cooperation intentions have not been so smooth.
"No, no, I think the best thing about a movie belongs to a movie. I don't have this set tied to me."
In the elegant and spacious office, listening to the Cynthia Pete Dante cooperation proposal over the phone, Wang Yang, who stood by the window, frowned slightly, and refused without thinking, saying: "I understand Brad is right "Infernal Affairs" love, but who will play 'Chen Yongren', or give it to its director in the future. "
Regarding the rejection by Brad Pitt, Wang Yang did not have any surprises. With Brad's "river status", this is indeed a normal reply to the supporting role. He had originally thought of inviting Will Smith to appear in the Blue Gloves, but this seems a bit misunderstood "to have Will repay the debt", he just didn't want to hurt his feelings, so he dismissed his thoughts.
The blue glove's actor positioning should be in the ranks of Samuel Jackson. Now Brad Pitt's meaning is obvious, unless the actor, or the same actor with equal roles, otherwise. Of course, there is also a set of plans. Pete knows that the overseas adaptation of Infernal Affairs is in the hands of the flame film. As long as there is a plan b and the flame to jointly invest in the US version of Infernal Affairs, Brad Pitt plays the actor "Chen Yongren" Terms, then he is willing to star in "Firefly", and must have a box office dividend.
Brad Pitt likes Hong Kong gangster action movies, such as "Smith and Mrs." who claimed to pay tribute to Hong Kong films; he is love at first sight for "Infernal Affairs" and has been coveted for a long time.
Wang Yang knew that in the world in his mind, the American exercise of Infernal Affairs was originally in the hands of Miramax Pictures, and the overseas adaptation rights were purchased by Brad Pitt ’s plan B company, and later Peter and Warner The brothers made the investment and found Martin Scorsese to direct and prepare to star in the US version of Chen Yongren. As a result, in a later audition, Pete was removed without Martin Scorsese's request; Scorsese found Chen Yongren's beloved Leonardo DiCaprio for Chen Yongren.
Now that Flame Movies is buying the adaptation rights of Infernal Affairs, the invitation to "Firefly" gives Brad Pitt a chance to "take Chen Yongren".
This "buy one is to buy two" approach stems from the bundling of caa, which has completely changed the relationship between brokerage companies and production companies, artists and investors, and also made caa the most influential brokerage company.
What is bundling? Madam Ramon and childhood friend Ben Affleck wrote the script of "Mind Catcher" together. They gave the script to caa, and caa found Miramax who appreciates it. If you want to invest in this script, motor -Ramon and Ben Affleck are to star. So they jumped into Hollywood's hottest niche.
This is a male actor who is tied to a script; caa, who has a variety of talents, often packs and sells. Starting from a script, he finds suitable producers, directors, actors, even photographers, props, etc. among his artists. An entire lineup, and then invest in producers for the project. Due to the restrictions of the anti-monopoly law, the core business of brokerage companies and production companies cannot coexist, and this is the only way. Another brokerage company giant bsp; but Wang Yang never accepts these bundled sales, although CAA has always arranged really It's very suitable. Only if you have credibility and success will you continue to invest in production companies, and caa can grow bigger. It can also be said that so far, Wang Yang has not really been asked to accept any bundling sales. Before that, almost all of them were digging new people by themselves and using some unknown and unsatisfactory old actors. Only Natalie Portman and Meryl -Streep is not in this list.
Now I want to invite top actresses who are not familiar with each other. Looking at the street scene outside, Wang Yang thought for a while and asked, "Are you really reluctant to try the audition? Believe me, Blue Gloves is a character that can be very suitable for Brad, calm, mad, eerie, and Showcasing kindness and justice, this role has a lot of room for waving. "
"Yang, we are also very sorry, but you know that Brad's schedule is limited, he can not promise all good choices." Cynthia Pete Dante's tone is very regrettable, she is very the media, to the magical Yang Such a rapidly rising predator is still very polite and respectful.
Listening to that, Wang Yang said, "I know, I know." Cynthia said again: "Brad has been busy shooting" Troy "for a year, and he didn't accompany Jennifer well. The shooting period of" Firefly "is 3 next year In April and April, it was the promotional period of "Troy". If there is no "Infernal Affairs" ... Yang, this price is not equal, we really regret it ... "
"Nothing, I'm sorry too, okay! Tell Brad, we have the opportunity to cooperate again, Flame welcomes him to audition for 'Chen Yongren' in the future."
Wang Yang and Cynthia said a few goodbyes, and this supporting role invitation died before entering the interview stage. This is the first time he has been so clearly rejected. In the face of Brad Pitt, who is proud of the net style, there is no room to be touched by Will Smith, but the selection of blue gloves is not a must for Brad Pitt. , There may be better, so he did not lobby much.
"I have decided, I will act by myself!" In the warm living room, Wang Yang on the sand hugged Jessica. While watching TV, she told her that today's negotiation with Brad Pitt broke down, and she yelled recklessly. There was a cry. Jessica burst into laughter, but Wang Yang looked seriously: "I'm serious, my drama addiction exploded, and blue gloves are very suitable for my handsome mí man." Jessica smiled doubtfully. He gave him a white look and asked, "Are you kidding me?"
Seeing her with little excitement, 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 it now, just make a cameo." Wang Yanggan Asked with interest: "Why?" Jessica flipped her beautiful eyes up and smiled: "It seems too useless for me. The best director at home is you, and the best actor is you! How to tell the baby? Mom is an actor, ranking second in the family at home. "
"At least Danny is in third place, isn't he?" Wang Yang stroked her comfortingly, and Danny, who was lying and shot, moved his ears. Jessica gave her forehead pitifully: "Oh Danny, I'm sorry, my mother forgot you, then I'm going to be third."
Wang Yang looked at her playful look and couldn't help but kiss her cheek: "That won't give birth, I'm so bad at acting." Jessica shrugged: "You're not bad at acting, I was in New York this time Weeping like a faucet. "Wang Yang laughed:" d, e11-ne! It seems that we have found a way to save water for environmental protection and make your woman cry! "Jessica stared at him and said in crappy Chinese: "You say it again? I drew your ne. I-ear!"
"I dare not, I dare not!" Wang Yang raised his hands to surrender and wiped the sweat on his forehead. The two laughed happily and kissed for a long time before Wang Yang laughed: "Seriously, I have no ability or interest to play the blue gloves, but I have other candidates." Jessica nodded. :"I will always support you."
Only a few days, from the spread of Miracle Young + Brad Pitt to the broken hope of cooperation, less than a few days, Pete agent Cynthia Pete Dante confirmed this news to the media in the Los Angeles office, she Said: "This is just a preliminary intention, we talked about the possibility of cooperation, but everyone's schedule is different, so this is the case." She declined to further disclose and comment on the matter.
What a pity, I don't see a strong team up! Under the dynamic reports of Yahoo Entertainment and other online media, fans who are concerned about this matter all know the latest situation, and the camp suddenly split after being disappointed. It is now apparent that Brad Pitt has rejected Wang Yang, which has caused some fans to have some anger. As for their miraculously winning record, none of the actors who have worked with him have their thumbs up. Why refuse?
Brad Pitt has just finished shooting "Troy", and now he has no appointments! 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 the magic for many years are also "the first time they are rejected" : "Too disappointed, this is Brad Pitt's most stupid decision!", "He will regret it!" ......
"I'm just very sorry for Brad Pitt. One day in five years, he will regret the decision made today." Yahoo user Ax said in a comment: "There is no doubt that" Firefly " It will create a miracle, maybe it is a new "Star Wars." And originally Pete could share this honor, is the number one villain not enough? But he gave up himself! I believe that Magic Yang, he will not spend 20 million pay, Please invite a superstar to play a meaningless role and look forward to seeing the definite candidate for 'Blue Gloves'. "
Brad Pitt's fans naturally support idols, what is Wang Yang? What is "Firefly"? If you do n’t act, do n’t act! There are also many people who attacked the miraculous young film mí ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Christie wrote: "To be clear, Wang Yang wants Brad to play a supporting role, which is no sincerity and no respect. 'S invitation! Brad can't spend time 1ang on the supporting role of "Firefly", Yang is delusional, and it is correct to refuse! "
"It's so interesting. Brad refused so many film appointments in a year. Why would he regret" Firefly "? How can it be?" User Fleming-d sneered. He wrote: "I'm not saying Wang Yang and" "Firefly" will definitely die miserably, but trouble those who are crazy to him to think about it calmly, the magical Yang is only a personal category. "Firefly" may be the most common one, imitating "Star Wars", "Interstellar mí The science fiction movie of "Hang"! There are so few films almost every year. "
He finally wrote: "Even if it can be a great success, Brad will not lose anything. He is still the top star in Hollywood, and next year" Troy "will bring him an Oscar." Demon posted a message saying: "Pitt won't get it. He just lost an Oscar for best supporting actor." Fleming wrote: "You're crazy." ...
Regardless of how the outside world reacted to this invitation dynamic, Wang Yang did not respond, but the blue glove candidates still have to keep in touch.
"Hi! I am Wang Yang ..."
