Chapter 925 The Crew's Collapse

A game of cat and mouse? What scandal can there be? I am invincible?

Song Ya thought about it, except for unspoken rules, gossip, etc., which are not harmful to him now, only the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay is left. Some media questioned it like Clint Eastwood on the day of the awards ceremony. If this is true, it is indeed a very bad scandal...

But I used Apocalypse Movies to make up the script outline, and the relevant drafts, contracts and other evidence are well preserved. It’s really a big mess. If the evidence is thrown away and the truth is revealed, wouldn’t it be possible to gain points for myself? The three screenwriters who knew about it all won the Oscars. Now is the time to make money by taking advantage of the soaring value. They only dance with the rumors if their brains are sick. They all know that they have evidence!

Then what else?

Secretly brandishing scissors at famous director Ridley Scott? That blame (credit) Linton has already taken it over, but it's not necessarily true, because I seem to have seen a report somewhere recently...

This kind of thing naturally calls Yeremov, and Song Ya made the president of the A+ film studio appear in front of him immediately.

"What report? Oh, so..."

Yeremov started from the beginning: "Of course the editor himself knows who is directing the editing. He also signed a non-disclosure agreement before, and he also agreed with us that Linton asked him to do this. But several people in his circle My friend complained for him during the awards season. One of his film critic friends posted that he would be the biggest contributor to the film, and that Linton’s level could at most provide some general guidance. Accusing us of not launching him to win an Oscar is the best The reason why he was nominated for Best Editing, or won a few small association awards is because he is afraid of offending Ridley Scott and deliberately ignores his contribution...because the award for editing of this film is to slap the director in the face."

"That's it?" Song Ya didn't sound like anything.

"That's it, but it seems that some reporters are digging for news. Now that the game of cat and mouse is down, the entire crew has been scattered to work on new projects, and all kinds of weird rumors have come out one after another."

Yeremov said: "Ridley Scott has been interrupted many times while hiding in the UK. Before Hollywood and his honeymoon period, he planned a show with Bruce Willie and Demi Moore called ' Demi Moore's big project, starring Demi Moore, now because of the breakup, Linton gave the lead tube to the female director Catherine Bigelow, the team has been set up, and the filming will be fast forwarded."

Ridley Scott seems to have been made miserable by his unintentional actions...

"This Linton didn't let me through at all." Song Ya complained.

"Actually, the root of the problem is that we didn't win the rights to adapt Abagnell's 'The Art of the Stealing'.

"

Yeremov complained, "Now the whole crew knows that we have nothing to do with the new project, so all the interests begin to collapse, such as Jared Leto, whose agent now often runs to the buyer Tom Hanks. , the others are similar, and the three screenwriters are also going in that direction."

"Does Jared Leto still have a chance to get the male lead in the 'sequel'?" Song Ya asked, "I've read Abagnell's new book, and the protagonist is already middle-aged, right?"

"Yes, there is a high probability that Tom Hanks will continue to direct and act on his own, and it may even be directed by Spielberg. The one who snatched the adaptation rights from us with a top price of 4 million is very ambitious. Jared Leto will play the protagonist’s youth at most, and the recent project will not be promoted at all, because Tom Hanks should wait for the director’s debut After the 'Unstoppable Miracle' is released, let's see the box office results and professional reputation."

Yeremov nodded: "In addition to that, there is the actress who snatched the role of Charis as a bank teller. She boasted to her best friend about the relationship between Harvey and her, as well as Ashley Judd, who was on the crew, and was stabbed by her best friend. It was given to the media. As for your relationship with Xue Linfen and Amy, those media have already guessed."

"It's really troublesome." Song Ya scratched her head.

"It's okay, that's how it is in Hollywood. Fortunately, we are a successful crew. Otherwise, if we just turned against the director, we would be attacked by the media hype."

Yeremov comforted the boss, "Think about Mira's return to the blue coral reef project in the past. What happened to me, you, and Mira at that time? Seriously, these are nothing now, at least Ridley Scott is also very quiet at the moment, so as not to be reduced to madly attacking each other within the crew."

"hehe……"

Song Ya smiled, and he also knew that a crew is a small society, and when the trees fall and the monkeys disperse, all sorts of bad things may happen, so it seems that what Yeremov said is indeed right, other failures that he only knows Projects, such as Mariah Carey's Star Dream Tears, didn't some crew members break the news about her various negative rumors about playing big names, saying that they gave the two Jack Russell terriers a special nanny car, and that dogs are treated better than humans? ?

The new director of that film, Steve Ron Mitchell, rushed to the street and lost his chance in Hollywood. In his anger, he also dumped the blame on Mariah Carey, and by the way, complained for the male lead Jude Law, and hyped the news. To promote a TV drama project that he and Jude Law are planning, it seems to be a follow-up game of cat and mouse, and the "Pretender" in cooperation with ABC is going to be launched in the second half of the year.

There is also the second part of dancing in my life. After hearing that the sequel project was frozen by Universal, the hero and heroine Jennifer Love Hewitt and Gosling immediately turned their faces and accused each other, and the dog's brain was about to come out.

Gosling's agent did the same trick, implying that Jennifer Love Hewitt played big names, disrespected crew members and did not practice dance well. , Pursuing the woman should not be shamed into anger before wantonly smearing.

Tearing the director's daughter halfway through, the second female lead Maggie Gyllenhaal joined the battle and publicly supported Gosling. Jennifer Love Hewitt said that she was the second generation of directors who relied on their parents for resources. They did this out of jealousy.

In short, it is so realistic. Without new projects to catch in the front, after the original crew disbanded, there will be various gossips due to various factors. If the interpersonal relationship is already tense and the project is not considered a success, a lot of conflicts will break out sooner or later. .

In fact, this is not a means for the creators to save themselves. It is better to have news than no news, and it is better to be hot than cold, even if it is negative.

"It's a good thing that the cat-and-mouse game was successful, and it was a big success."

Song Ya said: "In addition to the rumors related to Ridley Scott, I see that even if the cast and crew are separated, they have always maintained mutual praise, such as Jared Leto and John Malkovich. He and Abagnell have a good personal relationship, and they are still good friends after the project ends, interacting frequently. There are also Johnny Carson and me, as well as three screenwriters who won Oscars at the same time..."

"In general, this is the case, but when Linton pressures Nicarson's investment share, everything will be uncertain."

Yeremov laughed.

"You two don't go too far." Song Ya warned him, "I don't want to be scolded by the former king of talk show."

"Don't worry, it won't be too much. Besides, Johnny Carson doesn't understand who is the one who is really grabbing the Oscar for the best adapted screenplay? Money is not important to him, honor is important." Yeremov said.

"Don't say that, although he didn't contribute much to the script, I wouldn't be able to get an Oscar without his reputation. This is a win-win for us." Song Ya still has this point.

However, there was a problem with this matter. Early the next morning, there were media reports that Kunes, one of the three screenwriters, had received the commission of Johnny Carson's autobiography and would lead the compilation of the former king of talk shows. personal memoir.

"I don't have it? I just invite them to my house often, so I won't authorize the memoir to a third-rate screenwriter who I haven't known for a long time." Song Ya called to ask, and the old man himself was completely confused.

"There are rumors outside, and I heard that a publishing house has paid him a deposit." Song Ya said.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask my agent and wait for my news." Johnny Carson knew it was serious, so he hung up the phone to confirm it.
