Chapter 1163 1163 Miscellaneous Chess Game
Oscar night is an opportunity for many people, so Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg, Hugo Lancaster, these people will be surrounded by targets, reporters hope To be able to build a good relationship with them, magazine editors hope to get first-hand interview qualifications, sponsors want to reach cooperation with them as soon as possible, second-tier and third-tier actors hope to use their momentum to seek job opportunities...
But for Rick and Joseph, Oscar night also means an excellent environment for the exchange of interests and a new round of network expansion. Tonight, Rick and Joseph, including Karl Earl, Ali Emmanuel, and others are all very busy. They are chatting with all parties almost non-stop, and they don't even have time to update each other's news. All night, just because of an accident, Joseph politely interrupted the conversation between Rick and Scott - Ferguson (Scott. Ferguson) - he is the Paramount's "Nobody's a Fool", "Pursuit" As the executive producer, Joseph had a short conversation with Rick and Ali. After that, there was no chance to meet again. He could only rely on his own judgment and prior arrangements to plan and work together to achieve the ultimate goal.
This game has also become a battle that has truly demonstrated its absolute strength since the establishment of Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company.
Sure enough, the day after Oscar night ended, gossip started to fly all over the sky.
The first news that came out came from Paramount's official. Previously, the media had been chasing the 20 million salary issue. Paramount officially responded for the first time, saying that their cooperation with Hugo had entered the negotiation stage. I am indeed willing to offer a salary of 20 million yuan, and now there are only some specific details.
As soon as the news came out, the whole of Hollywood was surging. In the past month, people have been paying attention to the casting progress of "Mission Impossible" and the head-to-head confrontation between Hugo Lancaster and Tom Cruise. Astonishing energy burst out, attracting the attention of countless people, and the endless tearing battles in the media are even more exciting. Although both parties denied it and performed very well, they still could not block people's heated discussions-the so-called groundless, people firmly believe this sentence.
Now that Paramount has officially acknowledged the news, does it mean that the showdown has a final result? Hugo joined with a record salary of 20 million US dollars, opened a new chapter in the salary of Hollywood actors, defeated Tom in this amazing way, and announced the alternation of the superstar status of the two people?
This really made everyone's gossip soul start screaming.
At this point, the brokerage circle had previously put pressure on Hugo and Endeavour Elite Brokerage for a month, and it collapsed. Now, not only will the major brokerage companies not suppress the Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company, on the contrary, the Creative Artists Brokerage Company and the William Morris Brokerage Company have abandoned their previous suspicions and stood with the Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company to join forces with the major film companies. The company put pressure on a deal for a $20 million paycheck.
Because they all know very well that although the record is Hugo, it has nothing to do with them, but in fact, once Hugo opened the threshold of 20 million US dollars, then they will be the leader of the brokerage company, They can put pressure on the film company on behalf of their artists, and I believe that other actors will gradually join the 20 million club. This is a huge breakthrough for the entire brokerage industry.
Open the gap, and then show their talents. Who can become the second 20 million club member, and which company can have more 20 million club members, depends on their own abilities.
Creative Artists Agency and William Morris Agency This is called a strategic cooperation.
Relatively speaking, the response of International Innovation Management Company was half a beat, not only half a beat, but when they recovered, it would be very difficult for them to join - everyone knows them and those from Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company. In this case, it is clear that Creative Artists Agency and William Morris Agency have abandoned International Innovation Management.
The entire Hollywood brokerage industry is also before the storm.
However, these news have not yet fully brewed their power, and new news has emerged. Less than eight hours after the Paramount announcement, Warner Bros. announced that Al Pacino and Robert De Niro would join forces in Michael Mann's new film "Heat". )”.
As the top four actors in the 1970s and 1980s, Al and Robert are still young at this time, and the two are joining forces again after the second and third parts of "The Godfather", which is even more exciting. Many people think of the awards ceremony last night, when the two teamed up to present the best picture award. Now it seems that this is the first publicity stunt.
Sure enough, "Pirates of Fire" immediately became the focus of the topic.
However, for the major Hollywood brokerage companies, they will not forget one important thing: Al is an artist under the Endeavour Elite brokerage company Rick Rosen!
People with a keen sense of smell have already noticed the unusual, and the two news within the next 24 hours have further confirmed these people's guesses.
The first news came from the official and was confirmed by Disney. Tom Hanks, who had just completed the reelection of the best actor, was determined to join the dubbing work of Disney's animation "Toy Story (Toy. Story)".
"Toy Story" is a controversial work on the cusp, produced by a little-known animation production company Pixar, before this animation production company's biggest achievement was to win the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film, and they developed a computer APS won an Academy Award for Science and Engineering, but they never made an animated feature film.
This time, Pixar not only launched an animated feature film for the first time, but also the world's first animation produced entirely by computer, which is a breakthrough for hand-drawn animation and 2D animation. The fateful breakthrough has also attracted numerous controversies. Some people think that this is a suicide attempt, some people think that it will revolutionize the whole industry, and some people think that although computers will join the ranks of animation production sooner or later, Pixar abandoned the tradition in one breath, which is too radical.
After Pixar produced this work, it chose to cooperate with Disney and distribute it by Disney.
Now, Tom Hanks, who is in the limelight, is willing to join "Toy Story", which is undoubtedly a playful signal.
The second news has not been officially recognized by Disney, but is just rumored in the circle.
Originally hoped to attract the two superstars Sean Connery and Hugo Lancaster to join the "Brave Island" in the end, the remuneration could not be negotiated, and the cooperation was stranded. Later, the international innovation agency started work again. Nicolas Cage was once very close to "Breaking the Dead Island". Before the Oscars, there were even rumors that the two sides were only short of signing a contract.
But now there is internal news that Disney changed the candidate at the last minute, and Alexander Lorraine, who had achieved good popularity by relying on "Happy Family", was selected, and will become Sean Connery's "Brave to the Dead Island" partner among.
These two news are really intriguing. First of all, Alexander is an artist under the Endeavour Elite Agency, and secondly, he is Hugo's roommate and friend. It is well known. Now, Alexander has replaced Nicholas and entered the "Brave Island" crew. Saying he's going to have a $6 million paycheck is an excellent opportunity. This makes people have to think more.
First, Tom Hanks took over the dubbing of a controversial cartoon, and then Alexander Lorraine completed the counterattack and joined the cast of the blockbuster. The action behind the elite brokerage company cannot be underestimated. If coupled with a series of events caused by "Mission Impossible", people have faintly noticed that the Hollywood brokerage industry seems to be changing.
After a series of news was announced, after less than forty-eight hours of silence, another seemingly unrelated news appeared, which did not attract much attention.
Clint Eastwood has officially confirmed that his new work "The. Bridges. Of. Madison. County" will work with Warner Bros. Meryl Streep is the heroine .
This news is actually heavy news, whether it is Clint or Meryl, these are the top stars in Hollywood. But the reason why it didn't attract much attention is because the news doesn't seem to have much direct connection with the previous noise, so people seem to be a little less interested.
The calm didn't last long, and the waves started again.
The major agencies work together to promote the cooperation between Hugo and "Mission Impossible", and everything seems to be in the right place and the right place, but then MGM and 20th Century Fox, Universal Pictures, Columbia The studios have teamed up to pressure Paramount, arguing that Paramount is disrupting the balance of the film production industry.
You must know that after the actor's salary has risen to 15 million, it has not been five years, and major film companies have been adjusting their industrial chains, because the increase of actor's salary is not a matter of one work or one actor. , is often a major event that affects the whole body. In fact, none of the four protesting companies mentioned above have completely cleared their minds from the chaos of the salary increase to 15 million. Universal Pictures has always been committed to low-budget comedy, and MGM has just come out of the trough. Twenty. Century Fox's investment vision is inaccurate, sometimes good and bad, not to mention Columbia Pictures, even their leaders have come forward to contact Hugo.
So, once the salary balance is broken again, the situation they will face will be more difficult.
Paramount was under a lot of pressure for a while, and then Disney and Warner Bros couldn't stand it anymore, because they were also affected by the aftermath, Tom Hanks' dubbing wanted to get 15 million, although not 20 million However, this is an absolute first-day price for dubbing work, which is far beyond Disney's budget; subsequently, the crew of "Pirates of Fire" and "Longqiao Last Dream" also reported that the remuneration arrangement was blocked.
At such a critical moment, there is a secret news in the circle spreading among a small number of people: Tom Cruise said that he is willing to reduce his salary to film "Mission Impossible"!
