Chapter 814? It's Me

"Damn..."

The movie ended with the introduction of Abagnell's life pictures and subtitles in reality. The two applauded with everyone, and they left after a simple communication with their peers.

Hayden went to New York with Amy, and Donovan, who stayed in Los Angeles, recognized them. He knew that there was a less intense competition between Bergman's Phantom Man project and Dancing Out of My Life. One of Amy's co-managers, who realizes it's not a good thing for this guy to be around Romeo y Julieta boss Baz Luhrmann.

"Mr. Luhrmann, aren't you going to the dinner later?"

He hastened to make up for it, and sent his subordinates to stare at the two Hollywood bosses saying goodbye in the parking lot, and then ran over to create an encounter with Baz Luhrmann for a private conversation.

"My crew has something else to do."

Baz Luhrmann knew that the other party was one of the top agents of William Morris, and he might have breathed a sigh of relief before, but... Who told him to win APLUS early, "Just call me Baz." A little puzzled, "I Remember the cat and mouse game project is a packaged service provided by CAA?"

"Yes, but not all. We also have artists involved, such as Amy." Donovan asked, "Do you like her performance in this movie?"

"I like it very much."

"That……"

"I understand what you mean, but I still need to think about it."

Among the top agents, there are also many who like to use brown sugar tactics. Baz Luhrmann has not long since moved to Hollywood and is in the adaptation stage. At the same time, he likes to wear multiple hats, and he has a strong desire to control the project. The pressure comes from all directions. I don't want to hastily entangle with the unfamiliar agent, "Let's talk in detail after a while, there are still about ten days before the final decision."

I guess I want to wait until the box office of the first week of the cat and mouse game comes out. Donovan feels that there is something interesting, "Amy is very cautious in taking the film. She likes your modern adaptation of Juliet very much. She danced from the filming to my life. Before that, I often practiced Shakespeare plays."

This is the start of brown sugar? That's because Amy Adams has no professional acting education, so she can only make up lessons halfway, right? "I know all about it. Her lines are good. Hayden has been in touch with me a lot lately." Baz Luhrmann sneered in his heart.

"As long as you cast her, I promise she will put her heart and soul into the Romeo and Juliet project, which can't be done by her competitors, such as Claire Danes, as far as I know, she is doing 'Wandering Love'? "

Donovan also began to take eye drops, and William Morris' intelligence also showed that Claire Danes was the greatest threat to Amy. "Next year, she will take over the role in 'Sleepless', and she will start to play."

Baz Luhrmann shook his head, "I don't care about this, after all, she won Emmy Award nominations and Golden Globe Awards for Best Leading Actress in a Drama Series last year by relying on 'My So-Called Life', which is very sought-after."

"I admit that she performed well on the small screen, but the movie? She was completely overwhelmed by Winona Ryder and Kirsten Dunst in 'Little Women' last year." Donovan couldn't stick to it. Let go, "Amy's debut is the big screen, she is the leading role, and has always been. And the salary..."

"I will consider everything comprehensively. Anyway, wait for my news, Donovan."

Baz Luhrmann thought that Amy Adams had screwed up both projects, smiled and held out his hand, "I promise."

Soon, at noon on the 24th, he finally got the relevant box office report.

"A cat-and-mouse game of 6.5 million! This score includes the whole day on the 23rd, the score on the evening of the 22nd, the advance file in the afternoon of the 22nd, and the box office of screenings starting from the 17th." Including, of course, the number of early screenings and screening theaters is not high." said the subordinate.

"Is it okay?" he asked.

"It's very good. Among the movies that started in the same period, it only lost 10 million yuan to Toy Story. In addition to the continuation of 007 Goldeneye, the sequel to the detective plane head and other films, Cat and Mouse Game can also be ranked No. 1 in the box office at the same time. Four." The subordinate said: "The 4.5 million from Casino and the 4 million from Money Train are far away.

"

"so……"

"Amy Adams turned around in one fell swoop! Although she doesn't have many roles in this male drama, she is at least qualified to be the heroine."

"cheers!"

At the same time, Song Ya was already celebrating with the cat and mouse game crew. Due to the strong performance on the first day, Bo Wei happily made up for the publicity and theater resources that had been deducted before, and there was still a search. Cat and mouse game won the head-to-head confrontation with Casino and Money Train, which made him extremely happy. The stock price of Netscape has already shot up to 110, and is heading towards 120. Album 21 is sold in both the United States and Brazil. It's a big sale, and Gray Goose Vodka is even sold out. It's all good news, all good news!

"Congratulations Mr. APLUS."

Jared Leto, who has returned to his long hair and short beard, toasted, "We made it."

"Um!"

Song Ya hugged his shoulders excitedly, and shook him vigorously, "There will be a more arduous publicity schedule, and it's all up to you, Leto."

Much like Jim Clark's focus on turning Mark Anderson into Netscape's tech hero, Cat and Mouse figured out long ago that, of the entire cast, only Leto was capable of garnering a lot of media attention while at the same time resisting the madness of his opponents. Discredit, so he was also chosen to be the focus of packaging in the cat and mouse game project.

After Ridley Scott's betrayal, his agent decisively let him draw a line with the director. This move was appreciated by Linton and others. Now neither the producer nor the distributor minds giving him more resources. and opportunity.

The Thanksgiving holiday is coming soon, and the box office of the cat and mouse game should be very good in the first week.

He has a good personal image, no negative scandals, or has not had time to create scandals, but also plays a flamboyant, handsome, scammer who falls for women as soon as he sees him, has a very high IQ, and has a prodigal son. It can affect the outside world's perception of the actor himself, Leto's momentum is invincible now.

In a word, he will become famous by relying on this game of cat and mouse!

"Young girls love him."

Leto was turning his head to look at the hand of APLUS on his shoulder, and Linton in the distance stared at this side and smiled: "Advertisers are starting to find him, I just noticed that his agent has answered ten calls. The male protagonist of the cat and mouse game is of great help to young male stars, and he will even be more popular than APLUS among big brands, such as high-end men's clothing, cars, electronic products, perfume... "

"APLUS is black after all..."

Yeremov almost made a slip of the tongue to reveal the mystery here, because he was too happy, he was a little too drunk, "Oh, by the way, that damn well-known film critic Roger Ebert took our PR benefits and made four Star wholesale, he did give cat and mouse a full score of four stars, but at the same time he also gave casino wind and cloud four stars, and the money train has three and a half stars..."

"Don't worry about it, now the game of cat and mouse has established itself as a commercial drama rather than a mere biography, besides, we can't rely on the awards season to..."

Linton became angry when he thought of the awards season, "Has our director made any remarks?"

"Ridley Scott? The old man didn't say anything, maybe he was autistic in England hahaha!" Yeremov laughed.

"The freelance writers from Variety Show and Empire Magazine came over." The attendants beside the two reminded alertly.

He had old grievances with these two guys, Linton immediately suppressed his smile, and began to concentrate on dealing with Yeremov.

"Congratulations, Mr. Linton, Mr. Eremov..."

Two film media professionals with considerable status in Hollywood first touted the cat-and-mouse game, then changed the subject and got involved in the editing controversy.

"Few directors can get the final editing rights. You and I know this very well, but you just like to hide this from the public. In the conflict between the director and the film crew, you always choose to stand by the director." Yeremo The husband complained quietly.

"Screenwriters and directors should have greater creative freedom. Hollywood's industrial assembly line is killing the art of film."

"Okay, I agree." The film company couldn't win in the discussion about art, and Linton didn't bother to argue with the other party on this issue.

"Are you going to make a director's cut of cat and mouse? I don't mean the fake Blade Runner director's cut that Warner released."

The other party added, "Really, give Ridley full freedom of the director's cut version, we are looking forward to seeing what his personal version of this film will be like."

Linton rolled his eyes.

"We'll think about that later, okay? But you guys don't play tricks and write out of context that we already have plans to release a director's cut or something."

Yeremov knew it was time to stand up and take the blame, "And this power is not in our hands. If you want to ask, you must also ask the distributor, Bowei Pictures."

"But it is indeed the final version of your edit, right? I heard some gossip. The CEO of Bowei Pictures hinted before that he was not involved in this matter." The other party laughed.

"Really?" Yeremov smiled wryly, "Well, it's time to clarify this matter..."

"Yes, it was me, I had someone cut it."

Unexpectedly, Linton suddenly turned 180 degrees, opened his mouth and took the initiative to admit, "So what? The film is not exciting? Or do the audiences not like it?"
